Alien Executioner

The smell of blood was pungent, and shadows surged into Ottilia's heart. She stepped back in fear. Something was approaching in the darkness.

Long Binyu quickly grasped her shoulders, and his red-robed sleeve passed over Ottilia's head, and his claws, as withered as branches, crushed his dagger.

"Go down!" Long Binyu roared.

Otilia's head was nearly crushed. She couldn't see clearly in the darkness, so she grabbed the handrail and ran down. The An family killers disappeared and took away the flashlight. In the absence of light, she could only imagine the scene of running in her mind.

Long Binyu grabbed the red robe hand and said calmly, "You have a pair of good eyes, and I have two good fingers. How can there be such a perfect coincidence in the world?"

About two meters in front of him, two dots darker than black appeared, like a pair of eyes. The other party looked at Long Binyu quietly, and a crackling sound came from above his head.

The light bulb at the top of the iron ladder lit up, and a burly crow man in a red robe hid in the darkness, his sharp beak slowly opening.

"eternal……"

Long Binyu lowered his head, not because he was timid, he showed a long-lost implicit smile. The eldest lady said that he was a sword, a sword that had not been unsheathed. He was assigned to come here not to protect the third lady, this was not his duty, his duty was... to delay the monster in front of him.

"Thought it would take some time to meet you."

Long Binyu loosened his left hand. He had been holding it tightly when he appeared. Otilia had noticed it but didn't think much about it. In his palm was a potion that could be taken, which was handed to him by the eldest lady herself. The moment he drank it, he would completely transform and become a real unsheathed sword.

Chapter 115: The Wrath of the Shoggoth (Twenty-One)

hall.

I don't know where the music came from, but the story has reached its climax.

While the city was experiencing the disaster silently, the Ivano Five-Star Hotel was hosting a banquet. Family heirs from all over the world gathered here. While the Countermeasures Bureau and the parliamentary masters were busy, they tasted the strongest wine and ate the meat called "value" on the meat plate.

The families represented by these young people come from a third-party force, which is another family community besides the An family and the Tananiya family.

A black-haired woman in a white coat stood at the window, holding a glass of red wine in her hand, looking at the chaotic Koster Theater and the Tananya Palace in the distance.

Women are the leaders who bring these third-party power families together.

Flower shop manager, Xu Yanqian.

"Don't you think it ends too early?" She smiled confidently, and the glass wall reflected An Xin's figure behind her.

An Xin was also at the banquet. She was not an invited guest but an uninvited one. Her sudden appearance made the young people feel like they were facing a great enemy, and countless pairs of vigilant eyes fell on her back.

She turned around slowly and raised her glass to her sullen-looking niece.

"This is a rare good night, and it's so long and exciting. An Xin, you should learn from your dear sister and do something interesting."

An Xin walked to Xu Yanqian without saying a word and looked at the city.

The young people stared at the uninvited guest. The expected fight did not happen, and the two mortal enemies lived in peace.

Xu Yanqian felt very bored and turned around to continue looking out the window. This city was much more interesting than the sullen-faced An Xin.

An Xin's appearance was to prevent Xu Yanqian from taking action. As long as she was there, this woman would not act recklessly and the development of events would be controllable.

"Naya is very smart, isn't she? She took the initiative to guide the course of events. An Xiao, Gu Zhilan, and Ottilia all had the opportunity to touch the Heart of Sorrow. Your mother originally planned to give the delicious fruit to An Xiao, but she cleverly divided the fruit into three parts, and the crisis buried in the future was also divided. Is she planning to lay the groundwork for some cause and effect? ​​For example... to avoid fate or something like that."

"I thought you would understand." An Xin was not in a good mood.

"Oh, you didn't know that either." Xu Yanqian showed a surprised expression, "Aren't you two the closest and most beloved couple? As your aunt, I'm so envious."

"She is a willful child."

"Yes, she is very willful. The younger sister is willful and the older sister is willful too." Xu Yanqian said softly, "She is so willful that it makes me sad. You two do not belong to this mortal world. You are the most supreme, virtuous and beautiful existence after your union. Your feelings are so deep that they move my heart, and I don't want to destroy this beauty."

"If you say too many false words, you will deceive yourself."

"Yes, we have all been through this, who hasn't? We tell lies and the truth, there are always things we have to say, deceiving ourselves is like deceiving others, your sister was like that in the past, she thought she could fool the people around her, no one knew, she hid the pain in her heart."

Xu Yanqian sighed, "This world is always cruel, where is the beauty? Let the gray engulf this world and return to the absolute tranquility of the original, which is actually not bad."

"Should I preach some truths to influence you like in anime plots? Let you know that this world is not a bad place?" An Xin asked calmly.

"How could that be? You talk as if I was wrong and there's no way to change it. You're more unwilling to believe the facts than your sister. She got the truth from your father, so she's going to become a bad person." Xu Yanqian stood still, and they were looking at the same place.

"She is very stupid, so she tried to trick your mother. She knew that Otilia was aware of her identity, that Gu Zhilan was the general I appointed, and that the family took care of An Xiao. She felt that these three people were very valuable, and she wanted to steal the fruit that your mother gave to An Xiao, and then divide it up. It's like planting a tree, and the three girls represent three trees. In the future, when these three trees bear fruit, she can pick them, and one fruit will become three fruits. It's a sure win."

"Stop talking about it." An Xin said, "It's meaningless."

"Because you know it very well. You are more stable, but your sister is not. This world is so ridiculous. Beautiful things need to be preserved at a cost dozens or even hundreds of times, but when you look back, the flowers have already withered."

Xu Yanqian spoke very softly, as if she was afraid to disturb the thing called fate.

"She swallowed Deagus and broke through the boundary of half-death. She did control Naya's personality and was able to control her chaotic thoughts. For example, her eyes would no longer turn gray when passers-by looked at her. But Naya is always crazy and her appetite is growing day by day. She can do a lot of bad things for you, even if she is scarred in the end."

Her words might convince emotional people, but they couldn't convince An Xin.

"Xu Yanqian, I haven't seen you for a year, but you haven't changed. Mother always says you are a cunning raccoon dog. You will feel uncomfortable with me being here." An Xin chuckled, but her eyes were cold and stern. "In this world, you are the only person I have to worry about."

"What a hassle! I wasted so much of my saliva. I wouldn't dare do anything bad if you were around."

Xu Yanqian drank the red wine in one gulp in depression.

The next second she grinned again.

"You forget that we are allies in some ways."

……

The Great Elder's head was about to explode. He stood in the most open place for nearly ten minutes. In order to ensure the absolute advantage of the home court, he deliberately turned the scene into a stage. The audience seats were empty and there was no place to hide, so that he could be the first to discover Naya's appearance.

Naya never showed up, and time passed by little by little. Apart from the friction noise that seemed to be made by those tentacles, there was nothing else.

Could it be that Naya was trapped in the depths of the dreamland? This thought flashed through his mind, and then the elder sneered and laughed.

He thought Naya was the embodiment of absolute violence, but he was greatly disappointed as he could not find a stage for the duel between monsters.

Lalo, hiding in the corner, became more and more tired, and his heart was empty. He always felt that something was eating away at his body, making him more and more empty.

He forced a smile, comforting himself that everything was fine and that he would be able to escape the crisis again. He looked at Gu Zhilan. There was a strange look in the girl's eyes as she stared at the great elder, as if she was planning something.

She stood up and walked onto the stage on her own initiative, not afraid of the Great Elder. She glanced in the direction where Naya was most likely to appear, but there was nothing there.

"What did you do?" Gu Zhilan asked. What she meant was that Naya was most likely deliberately blocked outside.

The Great Elder understood what he meant, and looked disdainful, but still smiled kindly at his future partner:

"Naya can't find us. Once she loses the guidance of the two of you, she will be lost in this dreamland and she can't disturb us."

"Maybe there is no Naya at all." Gu Zhilan suddenly said something ambiguous, "In fact, we are overthinking it."

The Great Elder looked at her and his smile softened.

"You saw it, I know it." He then laughed wildly and strolled towards the bewildered Lalo.

"You have no reason to deny that she is not powerful enough to destroy our plan to rebuild the world. The Shoggoth is right in front of us. The end of the Stairway to God is not only about breaking through the boundary between reality and dreams, but also about completely controlling the changes in dreams and affecting reality. This used to be the power of Shang, but it is no longer the case now."

The Great Elder's eyes were so unscrupulous that it made Lalo's scalp go numb, as if he was looking at prey.

He wanted to escape, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. It turned out that he was destined to die and was really just a tool!

"Wait a minute, Great Elder." Gu Zhilan stretched out her hand to stop him. "Now is not the time. We cannot be sure of Naya's appearance. She is an uncertain factor."

"You're right. It's better for me to find Naya. I won't feel at ease if she keeps hanging around."

The Great Elder agreed with her opinion and turned to walk towards the door. He believed that a girl who was lost in a dream and couldn't find her way was not as scary as imagined, and it would be better to get rid of her early to prevent any more trouble.

"Don't let the Shoggoths get away...?"

The Great Elder had just given his instructions when a silver sickle pierced his chest and back. He turned his head in disbelief and saw the hand holding the sickle. It was Gu Zhilan's hand. She had no expression on her face, as if she had done something as a matter of course. The blade completely cut through her heart.

Chapter 116: The Wrath of the Shoggoth (Twenty-Two)

"What are you..."

The Great Elder spoke with difficulty, finding it hard to believe that he was backstabbed by his future partner. They stood on the stage, so calm, except for the mad chaos that filled the air.

Gu Zhilan expressionlessly pulled the silver-white sickle from the old man's back, bringing out blood, and moved in a circle around him. The elder's back was left with a hideous bloody hole, and he turned around in embarrassment, following the girl's figure with his eyes filled with extreme hatred.

“Why…without me…without the assistance of the new people, you can’t succeed…” the Great Elder said in a hissing voice.

"That's something the flower shop should consider." Gu Zhilan's voice was calm.

"You...represent the flower shop."

The silver sickle became brighter as if it had smelled prey. Gu Zhilan then chopped at the chest of the great elder. The already severed heart was crushed again. She walked slowly around the old man, leaving scars again and again.

"I'm representing the flower shop, but I don't want to cooperate with you." Gu Zhilan stepped back to avoid the great elder's attack and watched him stumble and fall to the ground.

There were bloodstains on the stage floor, and Lalo was stunned. He was not sure if what happened was as he imagined. Perhaps the girl chose to stab him in the back and saved his life in disguise.

What a relaxing scene, everything seemed natural, Gu Zhilan's eyes did not show any regret, this was her choice. The elder could not understand why the representative of the flower shop would regret it at the last minute, his hateful eyes were so ridiculous.

"I want to know why..."

"Great Elder, do you have anyone important in your heart?" Gu Zhilan looked down at the old man crawling on the ground, "Probably not."

"You betrayed the flower shop!" The elder finally understood.

"It's not betrayal, just a difference of opinion. I don't care if that woman wants the abyss to fall. If fate can be stopped, it is no longer fate. You can all make sacrifices for a great cause, and I am no exception. No matter how many people die, it has nothing to do with me."

Gu Zhilan walked up to the old man. He looked up with difficulty and saw the girl's eyes glowing red. The sickle in her hand hooked out the heart fragments in the elder's body.

"But apart from her, this may be the only thing I can do in this world, even if I am not understood. How long can you live without your heart? The dreamland is like an extremely unreal dream. If you die in it, you are really dead." Hiss

"You..." The elder lay on the ground, his arms stretched above his head, his eyes wide open and lifeless, and he died just like that.

The silver-white sickle's erosion of phagocytic cells is no less than that of the Grim Reaper. If the heart is crushed, the person will die. The blood on the ground slowly dissipated. This dream world probably couldn't last much longer. Dad

That's good, right? The ending of the story was forcibly cut off, and An Xiao no longer had to touch the "evolution" that the An family had carefully prepared. (

When she came, she already knew everything and was deeply trusted by Xu Yanqian. In fact, she really didn't care what the world was like. The coming of the abyss might not be a bad thing, but she just couldn't let go of An Xiao. She didn't want An Xiao to be trapped in the shadow of the family forever and be covered in scars in the future.

"Sister... little sister...")

La Luo climbed onto the stage trembling with fear, and met Gu Zhilan's indifferent gaze, so he quickly changed his words:

"Thank you, Miss Gu."

"I'm not doing this for you." Gu Zhilan was silent for a few seconds, then smiled bitterly, "But you're pretty pitiful, so helping you survive isn't a bad thing."

La Luo was in a trance. For a moment, he recalled the past. The man had said the same thing before. When La Luo thought that Gu Simiao had other intentions towards him, the man laughed and said, "You look pitiful, so I'll help you. It doesn't cost much to help someone anyway. Is it a bad thing?"

This father and daughter are surprisingly similar.

Hey, why think so much? Anyway, he survived again, and was saved by the daughter of his benefactor. Lalo was originally a pessimistic person, but now he was full of motivation. He stood up straight and felt refreshed, and all his tiredness was swept away.

From the conversation just now, Gu Zhilan betrayed the flower shop, which means she has no way out now. Maybe the two of them can flee together to all parts of the world. Lalo thinks this is great, but it's a pity that due to his special feelings for his benefactor, he doesn't have any feelings for women, otherwise they could develop a romantic relationship or something like that.

"Let's go quickly." Lalo felt that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, as it would make people feel uneasy.

"Wait a minute." Gu Zhilan frowned and realized something.

Lalo was startled and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard some movement, a slight friction sound like a group of snakes swimming.

His face changed drastically, and he forgot about Naya's existence. The more terrifying monster was hiding in this dream! When the Great Elder died, the Tentacle Queen had actually been hiding in the corner watching. This was a stage, so how could there be no audience below the stage?

Lights descended from the sky, and spotlights illuminated the auditorium and the only audience member. The Crow Man in a red robe lowered his head, like a wise man in deep thought. The brilliant red light enveloped him, and the surroundings fell into silence and darkness.

Shang! This word flashed through Gu Zhilan's mind.

She did not panic, and then she heard more familiar movements, ethereal and echoing singing, a young girl singing in the darkness, so terrifying that it made people's hair stand on end. The crow man shrouded in red lights fell forward, as if someone pushed him from behind, and the face wearing a white butterfly mask slowly emerged.

"I'm sorry it took some time to kill this guy." Naya smiled apologetically and took off the mask from his face, revealing a rather evil face.

"Long time...no see." Gu Zhiyi said softly to Lin Yiqi⒋污⑨⑷罪巴兰.

"Long time no see, long time no see. You've become more and more mature and even know to say hello actively." Naya hooked his fingers, and the black and red tentacles dragged the Crow Man's corpse towards the stage.

The tone of their conversation was like that of friends, but Gu Zhilan's eyes were full of vigilance.

Naya thought she was afraid of the Crow Man, and explained, "Shang is already dead, don't worry."

"During this period of time, have you been... Tu Shang?" Gu Zhilan seemed to have seen the devil with her own eyes.

"Not counting the massacre, this is just a clone. To be precise, it is just like half of Deagaus' body. The body of the dead and the heart of the dead can be separated, but it is still a bit troublesome to kill." Naya touched the tentacle beside him and said without disguising:

"Because the process was so bloody and violent, it cannot be broadcast...Isn't it too late for me to show up now? Gu Zhilan, what stage have you reached?"

She smiled and looked for the trace of the Great Elder. When she saw the corpse lying on the stage, she was stunned. The Great Elder's body was riddled with holes and he was dead beyond dead. Gu Zhilan was still holding the silver sickle in her hand, which was stained with solidified blood.

"You killed him?" Naya's pupils lit up blood red, and he was extremely surprised. "How could you kill him? You should be allies."

Chapter 117: The Wrath of the Shoggoth (Twenty-three)

Anya was inside the Tananian palace the entire time, and she was able to enter the dreamland thanks to a "pass" obtained by the gray-white octopus.

This building hides a secret, otherwise it is impossible to explain why the dreamland appeared. This is the internal center of the Tananya Palace and an institution that handles family affairs in a unified manner. It cannot be compared with the core power gathering place like the Council of Elders. No one expected that the real secret would be hidden in it.

Only the chosen ones can enter this place, and even Anya is turned away and can only pass through with a thin pass.
