Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 216 215 Old William is captured

On this side, Hong Shenghuo broke free from his spirit body and was busy breaking the curse, while old William on the other side was also not idle.

Seeing Hong Shenghuo's body standing stiffly in place, Old William jumped out from the shadows.

He was nimble and agile, not at all like a priest who should be weak.

Old William pulled out a pair of scissors from his sleeve, but ignored the body in front of him and bent down to stab the shadow of Hong Shenghuo on the ground.

puff!
The scissors stabbed down, as if unhindered by the ground, and sank directly into the shadows.

Hong Shenghuo only felt a pain in his shoulder - it was not a physical pain, but the kind of pain that could be felt by the spirit.

He tilted his head and saw a deep hole on the spirit's shoulder.

Old William pulled out the scissors and was about to stab again.

Hong Shenghuo didn't dare let Old William succeed again - at this moment, his shadow was only a small piece under his feet, and his human form could not be seen. He was lucky that the previous knife only stabbed his shoulder, but if he came back with another knife, he might hit his forehead.

Hong Shenghuo had roughly guessed Old William's origins, and no longer underestimated him. He immediately pinched his fingers and cast a spell: "Candle, Yaoqiang!"

A spear made of golden light appeared out of nowhere and hit Old William, knocking him away.

Old William twisted his waist and turned in mid-air, kicked the wall, and jumped towards Hong Shenghuo's body again.

"Nothing can escape the prying eye."

Old William cast a spell in the middle of it, his eyes flashed with a faint light, and he finally saw Hong Shenghuo's spirit clearly.

Hong Shenghuo was pinching his fingers and uttering the words: "Embers, prairie fire!"

Old William, with his vast combat experience, immediately chanted, "Breath of Winter, a moment of stagnation!"

The arc of fire spreading from Hong Shenghuo's body suddenly slowed down, and even his expression seemed to be frozen on his face.

Old William had a moment's opportunity.

The shadow under the body's feet did not reveal any human form. Old William was not sure that he could kill the person with one blow, so he decisively gave up the idea and raised his eyes to focus on the body.

Old William leaped forward, swung out a pair of scissors, and pointed the tip of the blade directly at Hong Shenghuo's eyebrows.

At the critical moment, Hong Shenghuo's mind moved, and he immediately came out of the trance state, and his spirit body returned to his physical body in an instant.

He slapped his waist suddenly, the lid of the tin pot popped out, and a raging flame gushed out violently, engulfing the figure of old William in mid-air.

"Ok?"

Hong Shenghuo suddenly realized something was wrong. He retracted the flame and looked carefully, but there was no trace of Old William in front of him.

A priest at the spirit world wandering stage cannot be burned to ashes so easily.

Hong Shenghuo snorted coldly: "Want to run?"

He took a step forward and his figure suddenly disappeared.

The spiritual world walking stage is the barrier breaking stage on the temple side.

The most notable feature is the ability to enter the spiritual world directly in the physical body.

In the wasteland of the spiritual world, old William, with burn marks all over his body, is running away.

Until now, he still didn't know why the monks from Xijun Temple came to him, but he knew that the tailor shop was definitely not safe. Since the other party dared to come alone, they must have made more thorough arrangements for the back-up plan. Therefore, if he wanted to escape, escaping into the spiritual world was almost the only way to survive.

There was a flash of light in his peripheral vision, and a dazzling spear attacked from behind.

This weapon, formed by the condensation of golden light, was extremely fast. Old William had no time to cast a spell and fell forward in desperation. The spear brushed past his head and pierced into the ground in front of him.

Hong Shenghuo's voice came from behind: "Jin, the fire cage trapped the sun."

The words fell.

With a bang, the Yao Gun exploded into countless sparks, flying far away.

Where the sparks fell, a huge fire blazed fiercely. In just a few breaths, it formed a circular fire array, trapping the two of them.

Old William silently got up and turned back to look at Hong Shenghuo.

He gave a wry smile: "If I remember correctly, we don't know each other."

Hong Shenghuo nodded to him: "It's okay, we'll know each other after today."

Old William spread out his hands, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "I'm just a poor guy who wants to live the rest of his life in peace, why do you have to force me?" "Poor guy?"

Hong Shenghuo sneered: "This word is not suitable for the captain of the Dark Night Church's agent."

Old William was silent for a while: "...That was in the past. Now I no longer belong to the Church of Night."

Hong Shenghuo nodded and replied, "I will give you a chance to explain, but not now. Now, come back with me for trial."

"On trial?"

Old William grasped the key: "Who are you?"

Hong Shenghuo bowed and saluted: "Admiral of the Water Conservancy Department, Hong Shenghuo."

Old William's brows furrowed even deeper. "I have never provoked the Water Control Bureau. No matter what you want to do, you have probably found the wrong person."

"I said that……"

Hong Shenghuo lowered his head, made hand gestures, and lowered his voice: "If you want an explanation, come back with me and explain."

The fire suddenly shrank, and old William could already feel the burning sensation on his back.

Hong Shenghuo threatened, "You can't stay in the spirit world for long, and you can't get rid of me. Either be respectful and let me take you back, or I'll find someone to carry you back."

……

In the tailor shop with charred walls, the figures of Old William and Hong Shenghuo suddenly appeared again.

Hong Shenghuo opened the tin pot to absorb all the remaining flames, then pushed Old William out.

After pushing open the door, old William looked up and found that the tailor shop had been surrounded by sailors from the Water Town.

Two rows of soldiers all held their muskets and pointed them at the door.

Farther away, people watching the excitement kept pointing at him.

Hong Shenghuo put his hand on Old William's shoulder: "Where is your weapon?"

Old William whispered, "You burned it."

"Stop farting."

Hong Shenghuo cast his gaze over and said, "Your pair of scissors is a magical weapon, it's not that resistant to burning—quickly take it out."

Old William pursed his lips tightly and said, "I told you, there must be a misunderstanding. Those scissors are the most important thing to me..."

Hong Shenghuo didn't give him a chance to continue. "If there's any misunderstanding, I'll return it to you after I've explained it clearly, but now—take it out."

Old William was silent for a moment: "...I want to make a phone call first."

Hong Shenghuo sneered and said, "I'm afraid even if you search the entire Fan City, you won't find a lawyer willing to take on the Water Control Bureau's case."

“I’m not looking for a lawyer.”

Old William shook his head: "I think you may not listen to my explanation, so I have to find someone who can explain it to you."

Hong Shenghuo raised his eyebrows: "So you have a background? Who are you planning to find?"

But old William chose to keep it secret: "You are not qualified to know. I want to make this call alone."

Hong Shenghuo lost all patience: "Then don't fight me. Stay in jail for a few days first. Maybe you will change your mind."

Old William was taken back to the water department.

This incident caused quite a stir in the factory area, but it took some time for it to reach the ears of some people.

At the same time, the Zhenshui Division also began a secret investigation into Konate Chen.

But before that, Shunzi received a transfer order from the church.

He was transferred to the Divine Guards of the Factory District Temple, under the command of Guard Officer Morgan and under the command of Guard Captain Byrne. It was also a team specifically responsible for protecting Konate Chen's daily safety.

When receiving the transfer order, Kalus, who was still waiting for the promotion documents, remembered their old friendship and secretly told Shunzi the inside story - this transfer was arranged by Bishop Konate himself.

PS: Mao Hetao wants to be the next crazy tiger, but Konate Chen just wants him to be obedient, so someone is needed to check and balance him.
