Nightmare Light

Chapter 25 The Rescuer and the Rescued

When Lin Wang heard Tian Taozi's voice, he felt sick all over.

Why is this girl so stubborn?

Why are you back?

What trouble!

But on second thought, the sheriff girl's behavior was not bad - handling unusual incidents, rescuing citizens, and fighting monsters are her jobs.

In the eyes of the sheriffs, they were the ones who were "causing trouble" and "should be saved"...

Thinking of this, Lin Wang felt much calmer and accepted this fact.

He began to think quickly about how to complete the kill in this chaos.

But at this moment, the blood monster suddenly began to shake violently.

As it trembled, the blood and flesh cysts on its body kept falling to the ground. After each blood clot fell to the ground, it would wriggle violently and then condense into a new monster.

It was a strange creature that was only half a human's height, with thin limbs, a bulging belly, and a monkey-like head and face. In its hands were sharp, bright red blades.

In just over ten seconds, dozens of such blood monsters formed. The leader raised the blood blade, let out a hoarse roar, and rushed into the passage quickly.

Lin Wang's heart sank: This thing looks so weird, if the sheriffs were all ordinary people, it would probably be difficult to deal with it.

But he immediately retracted his thoughts: this is the job of the sheriffs, and no one knows how to deal with abnormal creatures better than them.

In addition, Tian Taozi returned this time and called for help. After seeing the "Blood God" standing up from the blood pool, there was no reason for her not to call some secular masters to help.

Thinking of this, Lin Wang collected his thoughts and turned his attention back to what was in front of him.

I have to deal with this culprit as soon as possible. As long as I get rid of him, those small fry won't be a problem!

He raised his hammer towards the blood giant.

……

At the same time, in the underground passage.

The sheriffs had heard strange noises coming from the direction of the bathroom, including fighting, collisions, and some strange, chilling chanting.

In the dark and depressing underground passage, the sudden appearance of such a sound would undoubtedly bring tremendous psychological pressure to people, so all the sheriffs around Tian Taozi turned pale.

But they are professionals after all, and even the most novice among the crowd has experienced more than one abnormal incident.

So when Tian Taozi raised his fist and signaled alert, the soldiers still built a simple line of defense in the shortest time possible.

Tian Taozi looked around and saw a dozen elite sheriffs standing guard with guns, and two secular masters, one wearing a Nuo opera mask and holding a voodoo doll, and the other with a ghost face painted on his face and holding a white banner, with a paper sun god lying on his shoulder, sticking out his tongue and looking around.

A little further away, five or six people dressed as monks in long robes, led by a short priest, crossed their hands with solemn expressions, and the double-circle seals on their heads flickered faintly in the dim light.

With such power, even a medium-sized cult stronghold could be destroyed in one fell swoop, let alone a dilapidated water room... and there was only that one monster inside...

Tian Taozi felt a little relieved, but she couldn't help but think of Lin Wang: How is he? Is he in danger? That monster...can he survive?
Before, she left Lin Wang in the bathroom and ran to get help. Although it was Lin Wang's arrangement, she still felt very uncomfortable.

I'm the sheriff! How come he's protecting me?

Tian Taozi cursed herself in her heart.

But when she recalled that moment before, she had another strange feeling: when Lin Wang asked her to go, there was a strange power in his words.

That kind of power made her believe for no reason: it was right to leave, he was sure and could handle it!

So she was chased away by Lin Wang in a daze. When she saw her companions, she realized what had happened: she, a sheriff, had left a citizen in front of the monster while she ran to get help.

At that moment, the poor sheriff's worldview was greatly challenged: she was supposed to be the protector! How did she become the one being protected in such a daze?
The sheriff bit her lip until it bled. "Lin Wang... please don't die! I'm planning on sworn brotherhood with you!" Not far away, the temple's young priestess suddenly turned her head and glanced at Tian Taozi. "Is the 'Lin Wang' you're talking about a very, very tall Northerner?"

"Yes!" Tian Taozi remembered this unique priestess. She had a pair of unique eyes, empty and void, as if she was not focused on anything, but she was very beautiful.

Speaking of which, Lin Wang's eyes are also very beautiful... When he looks at people, they are a little unfocused... But there is a kind of wild brightness...

The sheriff's daughter shook her head, driving away the wild thoughts from her mind, and said to the priestess, "Do you know him?"

The priestess folded her hands over her chest in a prayerful posture. Upon hearing Tian Taozi's words, a strange, thoughtful expression crossed her face. After a few seconds, she shook her head seriously, "No, I don't know you yet."

Not yet? What kind of weird answer is that?
Tian Taozi was about to ask further questions when she saw the priestess nod slightly, revealing a look of determination. She said in a very firm and irrefutable tone: "Priests, move forward."

"Ah?" Tian Taozi was surprised.

The priestess's action was beyond her expectations.

Although she was happy that the priests were willing to take risks to help her save people, such an action would cause things to get out of control.

So Tian Taozi took a step forward and stopped the priestess: "Girl, you..."

"Mori," the priestess said. "My name."

"Ms. Mori..." Tian Taozi was usually carefree, but since the person in front of her was someone from the temple, and a high-ranking priest at that, she became more reserved. "Are you... in a hurry to save someone?"

The priestess was about to answer when the monster's roar, like a tide, resounded in the basement not far away.

"alert!"

The two girls turned their heads at the same time, and Tian Taozi quickly made a series of gestures with her left hand while drawing her gun.

Following her gesture, the sheriffs quickly prepared themselves:
Amidst the sounds of gunshots being drawn, the two secular masters also adopted strange postures. The doll in the hands of the Nuo master struggled restlessly, and the sun-wandering god on the shoulders of the deceased sacrificer moved his tongue restlessly from side to side.

(Voodoo dolls and sun-dwelling gods)
Tian Taozi herself had bright eyes and her mouth curled up unconsciously, revealing her snow-white fangs and a wild smile.

She likes to fight and is happy when there is a fight.

What's more, this time it's to save people!

At the same time, the priest team on the side also completed their preparations.

The priests arranged themselves in a regular triangle formation, one, two, and three, with Mori standing at the front.

The priests stood in their positions, made prayer gestures in unison, with solemn expressions and pious tones, and chanted hymns to the goddess loudly.

"The lamb is fearless, from the warmth of its mother..."

"I am not afraid of the enemy, only the greatness of the mother..."

The chanting grew louder and louder, and the sharp roars in the darkness approached rapidly like a tide.

Even ordinary humans could see the blood-red monster surging out of the darkness. It had red skin, white eyes, an ugly appearance, a ferocious look, and wielded bloody blades in both hands as it pounced on the human defense line.

Tian Taozi took a breath, raised her left hand high and swung it down vigorously:

"Public Security Bureau! Investigating the case!"

　Update on yesterday's spicy potato chips:

　　I had diarrhea from early morning until about 1:00 PM...

　　Later my legs became weak...
