Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 138 Is Lanius about to give birth?
Under Audrey's astonished gaze, the monster's flesh, which Luze had captured, rapidly dissolved, and it looked as if it was about to turn into a complete mess.

Just then, the monster's swollen belly suddenly expanded rapidly, and its cries became louder.

"careful!"

Audrey couldn't help but speak up to remind her.

"Paji!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her swollen belly burst open from the inside, and a crimson thing shot out, rushing straight towards Lu Ze's face!

Lu Ze watched calmly, raising his other hand.

"boom!"

A sweeping punch landed precisely on the object, the powerful force sending it flying and crashing into the wall. The thing landed on the ground, rolled a few times before coming to a stop, revealing its true form.

Audrey saw its true form and almost cried out in surprise.

It turned out to be a lump of flesh the size of an infant, with limbs, but in the center was the face of an adult.

And that face seemed somewhat familiar to Lu Ze.

"Lanius?"

he said in surprise.

It was a man's face, plain-looking, with only a signature mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, which immediately reminded Lu Ze of the fraudster he had tricked.

"Wow"

The fleshy mass with a human face cried out, rolled over, and prepared to attack Luze again. But before it could move, several balls of blazing flame shot over and engulfed its body.

"Wow--"

It convulsed and howled in the raging fire, quickly turning charred black until it was reduced to ashes.

Luze stared at the ashes, and after confirming they were completely destroyed, he released his grip and tossed aside the half-dissolved corpse. The corpse's abdomen had been ripped open from the inside, revealing a gruesome wound.

Audrey noticed the shape of the wound and suddenly had a thought.

The wounds, from the inside out, are from a victim who was still working as a streetwalker. She seems to have discovered the victims of a serial murder case! It turns out these people were killed by something that went from the inside out!

Fors previously said that he suspected there were two killers in the serial murder case. Could this be the modus operandi of one of the killers?
No wonder the police couldn't find it.
By the way, this extraordinary person just mentioned a name, Lanius. Could that be the murderer's real name?
Audrey carefully observed the black-haired, blue-eyed youth, thinking to herself.

While she was filled with thoughts, Lu Ze was also pondering.

The mass of flesh inside the woman's belly was clearly not a child of a god; he only sensed a very small amount of the true aura of the creator within it. In fact, this mass of flesh seemed more like the offspring of Lanluus.

What's wrong with the Church of the Night? It's been so long, and they still haven't caught him!
Luze remembered that he had modified the ritual, tricking Lanluus. He had made Lanluus, a man, receive divinity from the true creator. Theoretically, that divinity had deeply penetrated his body, and the ritual was a success.

Thinking of this, Lu Ze's expression became somewhat strange.

No way?
He's a grown man, and he actually got pregnant?

Judging by the timeline, it's been about two or three months. Given the developmental speed of the evil god's offspring, it's likely that Lanluus will give birth soon. It's just a question of whether his offspring should call him "father" or "mother"—in a sense, it seems either way is fine.
"Cough cough."

Lu Ze coughed, suppressing his wandering thoughts.

The body of that streetwalker might be Lanius's attempt to save himself. Perhaps he wanted to transfer the offspring of the evil god into another woman, thus sparing himself the calamity of childbirth. After all, there was truly no other way out.

If that's the case, he should be in Backlund right now.
"My God! What's happening?!" "Help! We need to save them!"

The sounds in the corridor gradually grew louder; the deaths and injuries were causing chaos, and someone would be coming soon.

Lu Ze came to his senses and felt the sound of the ocean waves in his mind weakening. He had been conscious for a long time and his spiritual energy was being depleted.

We need to leave quickly.
Thinking this, he stood up and met Audrey's gaze.

Oh, I almost forgot, there was also an eyewitness.

Lu Ze thought to himself, and stepped forward to stand in front of the other person.

Audrey's heart immediately tightened.

What is he doing?
Judging from his terrifying methods, could he be from one of those dangerous, secret cults? Will I be silenced?

Then she heard this handsome, insane, powerful, extraordinary being, dressed in a strange straitjacket, speak:

"Do you have any money?"

what?
Audrey was stunned.

"Stop playing dumb. I saved your life, so it's only right that I get some compensation." Hearing the other person continue, she impatiently spread her hands. "Judging from your appearance, you must be a noble lady. Surely you have enough money? Pay up, hurry up!"

The image of the strong woman seemed to have changed somewhat. Audrey pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "My wallet is with the maid. Please wait a moment."

She quickly walked to the unconscious Annie, took her own exquisite handbag from her, and after a moment's thought, simply handed the entire handbag to Lu Ze.

This handbag is a brand new limited edition, and it costs around £1,000. In addition, there are several small pieces of jewelry inside, each worth several hundred pounds.

Audrey didn't care much about the money; more important than that, she hoped the other party would be satisfied.

Lu Ze casually took the bag and took out all the cash inside, which amounted to about two or three hundred pounds.

They're really rich! No wonder they're nobles of Backlund. They won't be short of money for the time being.

He thought to himself with satisfaction, tossing the bag and its contents back to the other person, "Don't leak my information if you don't want trouble."

Audrey nodded immediately.

Wow!
Lu Ze packed the money, cut his palm with his fingernail, raised his hand and waved it, and a stream of blood flew out as a mist, falling into the entire room.

This is a clever use of flesh magic to interfere with divination and prevent being tracked, so even if Audrey breaks the agreement and says something to someone else, she won't actually be found.

Having done all this, before anyone else arrived, Lu Ze's body transformed into a shadow, merging into the darkness, and he silently left the place.

"call--"

Only then did Audrey finally breathe a sigh of relief, confirming that she was truly safe.

Seeing the devastation all around, with the dead and wounded scattered everywhere, and smelling the thick stench of blood filling my nostrils, my initial fear slowly subsided, but a sense of lingering dread gradually rose within me.

That extraordinary being is truly terrifying. If he had been in a bad mood just now, would I have been easily eliminated? Audrey thought to herself, deciding to keep her promise and not reveal the other party's information to the official investigators.

On the other side, Lu Ze, who went to pick up his younger sister, was suddenly stunned.

Ok?
My hermit potion seems to have been partially digested.
