Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 137 The Sound of Crying

"I see it, the Hanged Giant."

The streetwalker, hypnotized by a psychologist, murmured in her sleep.

"The Hanged Giant?"

Professor Anthony frowned; the things in the other person's dream were somewhat unexpected. "You can come a little closer and look at the details on the giant's body."

"professor."

Before he could finish speaking, Audrey, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, stood up and interrupted him.

Anthony didn't understand the meaning of the Hanged Giant, but Miss Justice knew quite well. Through the daily occult discussions at the Tarot Club, she already knew that this figure came from that ancient, terrifying evil god, the true creator!
Why would a streetwalker see an evil god in her dream?
No, we can talk about that later. The most important thing now is to stop the hypnosis and not let her continue watching, or things will get really bad!
Unfortunately, Audrey was too late. As she stood up, the streetwalker's body began to tremble abnormally, her head tilted back, her mouth opened wide, and the corners of her mouth tore open to the sides, with a decadent and twisted aura surging out wildly.

"Miss Audrey, didn't we agree beforehand? Don't interfere with my consultations."

Anthony turned around and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Ahhhh!"

A terrified scream suddenly rang out from behind him; the voice seemed somewhat familiar.

With a hint of doubt, Anthony turned back. He saw that the female patient had somehow leaped up and bitten his assistant's neck. The poor young man screamed and struggled, blood spurting rapidly from his neck.

The patient has gone mad!
Anthony was shocked and rushed over to pull the patient away while calling for a caregiver to control the situation.

"Don't go there!"

Audrey immediately spoke up to stop her.

What are you saying? My assistant's life is being endangered.
Just as Anthony was thinking this, he soon noticed that his assistant had stopped struggling. The patient was biting fiercely, and he heard the sound of bones breaking. Then he saw his assistant's neck completely bent and torn apart, with his entire head hanging back, revealing a headless cavity.

Large gushes of blood were gushing out, splattering all over the floor.

"."

A chilling sense of terror shot from the soles of his feet to his brain, freezing Anthony instantly.

"Professor, please be quiet and back away slowly."

He heard Audrey speaking to him in a low voice, and she seemed much calmer than he had ever seen many madmen.

Following Audrey's instructions, Anthony slowly backed away, retreating behind the table to stand beside her. She was extremely pale, but remained relatively calm, gently comforting her trembling maid while cautiously observing the frenzied streetwalker.

She was corrupted by the aura of an evil god and had an intense craving for flesh and blood.
Audrey noticed that the woman was eating voraciously with her head down, her skin cracking open to reveal bloody muscle and tissue. Her abdomen, in particular, was rapidly swelling as she ate.

With my sequence, I have no way to solve it.
She thought to herself with a hint of helplessness.

She doesn't yet know what the higher-sequence abilities of her own sequence are like. With her current abilities, she can only influence people's mental world, and she is helpless when faced with crazy monsters.

"Woo."

Anne, the personal maid beside him, was trembling. She tried her best to cover her mouth, but she still couldn't suppress sobs.

brush!
The monster, which was gnawing on something, suddenly looked up and turned its head in this direction.

They've been discovered!

For some reason, its eyes remained closed, as if still immersed in a mad dream. Only its torn mouth and deformed body indicated that it had irreversibly fallen into the abyss. It was coming!
An immense fear immediately gripped Audrey's heart; she seemed to already see herself being devoured.

calm down!

Audrey, calm down!

In this critical moment, Miss Justice desperately told herself, "It hasn't woken up yet, I still have a chance!"

She stepped forward, standing in front of Anthony and Anne, who were bound by fear, and reassured them in a soft, ethereal voice, "It's alright, it's safe here, it's just a dream."

Given the urgency of the situation, she could only use the hypnotic language she had just learned to try to calm the other person down.

Compared to a regular psychologist, a "mind reader" who can observe the monster's state is obviously much more likely to do this. The monster, which was already under hypnosis, gradually calmed down and was actually soothed by Audrey.

Okay, now slowly exit the room, lock the door, and notify the police.
She thought about it with extreme tension, not daring to relax even for a moment.

"boom!"

Just then, the door was violently kicked open from the outside, and several burly caregivers carrying sticks and instruments rushed in. They had heard the commotion and had come to subdue the patient.

Oops!

Audrey thought helplessly as she watched the monster suddenly open its eyes amidst the deafening roar. It charged into the still-unresponsive caregivers, and blood and screams echoed once more!
The monster devoured flesh and blood, its abdomen swelling more and more until it looked like it was pregnant.

No, it was something being conceived, because Audrey heard a faint cry of a baby coming from her.

"Wow"

The cries were eerie, and Audrey felt a sudden dizziness, unable to breathe. Beside her, two ordinary people who weren't extraordinary beings suffered even more; Professor Anthony and his maid Anne were simultaneously struck and fell unconscious.

Audrey herself was not optimistic. She felt completely powerless and collapsed to the ground, watching as the monster killed the caregiver and then cast its mad and hungry gaze upon her.

In her helplessness, she clasped her hands together and prayed softly.

"A fool who doesn't belong to this era."

In her desperate situation, all she could do was pray to the gods!
However, before she could finish reciting the Fool's name, the shadow beneath the monster began to twist, and something was emerging from it.

"brush!"

An arm wrapped in multiple restraints shot out like lightning, gripping the monster's neck. The fingers were long and slender, with distinct knuckles, a stark contrast to the monster's mangled and bloody appearance.

Audrey's eyes widened as she saw the handsome young man she had met in the corridor stand between her and the monster. The monster, which had easily killed so many, was now easily subdued by him, unable to resist!
How did he even appear?!

Miss Justice was utterly confused and bewildered.

Lu Ze squinted at the monster in front of him.

Judging from her attire, she originally appeared to be a streetwalker. Her belly was swollen, and the faint cry of a baby could be heard, making him feel slightly uneasy.

The ritual of the offspring of God?
That was the first thing that came to his mind.

The monster struggled and roared. Lu Ze exerted a little force, his fingers digging deep into the monster's flesh.

Audrey noticed that the terrifying monster soon began to scream in agony. Its flesh and blood rapidly dissolved, flowing onto the ground in a grotesque and horrifying scene. She couldn't help but cover her mouth; this extraordinary being was indeed powerful, but its methods were far too horrific!
