Old Bob was stunned when he saw the scene inside the house.
Red and white traces were interlaced on the walls and the ground.
The red candles and the white candles are placed alternately in circles.
A wooden sculpture was hanging upside down from the ceiling. It was a weird sculpture with strange carvings. Old Bob didn't know what it was. It looked like a maggot. It had a fat body hanging upside down, but the head near the ground was much smaller than the body. It also had facial features similar to those of a human, sunken like a skull.
Many black, dry bodies were crawling on the fat body of the upside-down sculpture. The black bodies were illusory, as if they were just a shadow. They looked like the monsters that Lin Yi and others had dealt with before, but they were smaller and their bodies were more shrunk, like embryos that had not yet grown. They were densely crawling on the body of the upside-down wooden sculpture, and they stayed silently in the middle of the room.
"my Lord……"
Old Bob muttered and swallowed subconsciously.
It was a creepy fear that made my whole body seem to have lost all the temperature.
Perhaps this is how everyone reacts when faced with something completely unknown, unreasonable, weird and scary.
but……
He forced himself to concentrate again and observed this room filled with candles and with all kinds of strange patterns painted on the walls and floor.
Then, Old Bob saw Lillian lying in the middle of the room, facing the strange statue, and seemed to have lost consciousness.
"Lillian!"
Without any hesitation, the old man rushed into the room, kicked over the candles, limped to the girl and picked her up.
No injuries were seen on the body.
It seemed that he had just fainted.
"I'll take you home right now, I'll take you home right now, Lillian!"
He turned around and ran towards the door.
But, is the distance between the door of the room and myself so far?
Something is watching me.
Behind oneself.
Staring at myself, observing myself silently.
Is that the upside-down statue?
Old Bob didn't look back.
He just took a step forward and tried his best to escape towards the door in front of him.
Holding his only relative tightly in his arms, he ran forward with all his strength.
One step, two steps...
Nine steps, ten steps...
It should be a length that can be reached within ten steps.
But the open door seemed to be far away in the horizon, and there was no way to reach it.
"grandfather……"
The girl in his arms seemed to be a little more awake.
"Lillian?"
Looking down, I saw the black thing wriggling in the girl's open eyes.
[I saw it, Grandpa]
The little girl's murmuring voice seemed to overlap, as if there were two voices speaking at the same time.
[I saw it, above the stars, in that distant world]
[Mr. Bessi said, I will become everyone's mother, lead everyone to be baptized, and lead everyone to welcome the coming of the Lord of Nasu]
[Feeding with human flesh and blood, carrying with human skin, and finally, welcoming our Lord, coming to this land and turning it into our paradise]
The black substance flowed out of the girl's body bit by bit.
This thing seems incomplete and far from being perfect. It is an incomplete state that is forced to start early.
Old Bob saw a twisted black figure with deformed arms and head emerging from Lillian's body and appearing behind her, as if it was connected to her by nature.
The little girl looked dazed, as if due to the incompleteness of this thing, she had not completely lost her consciousness. She was just trapped in a state similar to hypnosis, unable to control herself.
[Mr. Besi said that everyone is in pain]
[Human life is very short. Aging and disease will constantly erode human life. Few people can live a life without pain.]
[The departure of family members, the departure of friends, separation will always fill people's lives, whether temporary or forever, every separation is always accompanied by pain]
[Therefore, as long as we throw ourselves into the arms of the Lord of Xu and complete the baptism, we will obtain eternal happiness and become immortal. We will no longer feel sadness and pain, but only experience happiness. We will live forever in the beauty of the baptized people.]
Slowly, a figure floating in the air grabbed old Bob, who had been crushed to the point of being unable to breathe by the huge pressure.
【Mom and Dad, they have left me】
[Grandpa has been missing Dad, and he has been very sad and upset, but I can’t do anything for him]
[So, as long as Grandpa and I are baptized together, we will be happy forever, and Grandpa will never be sad again]
So come with me, Grandpa, come with me...
A low voice, like begging, like pleading.
The girl shook her little head, her black eye sockets so that it was impossible to distinguish the eyeballs from the whites, and looked at old Bob in front of her and spoke softly to him.
In this gently swaying candlelight.
In front of the strange hanging sculpture that stands still.
"me……"
Old Bob opened his mouth, but no clear words came out.
It felt like something was pouring into my mind.
Accept...Accept...
What to accept...
Own……
"Lillian...I..."
I want to...
I came here to...
Click!
The sound of violent shock and collapse interrupted Old Bob's thoughts the next moment.
A large number of buildings had already been damaged in the battle between Tanjiro and Rest, and now, with the burning of the fire, they are finally gradually unable to hold on.
With a tearing sound, the floor collapsed with a loud bang, the candlelight went out, and the dazed girl and the old man fell down along with the broken wooden boards.
"Lillian!"
He came here to save his only family member, his granddaughter Lillian.
In mid-air, Old Bob stretched out his hand, just like when the girl was still young, and gently hugged the dazed-looking Lillian, holding her in his arms.
Then, the old man twisted his body, using himself as a buffer for the girl, and fell straight down from a height of 15 meters, landing heavily on the ground amidst the flying flames and falling debris.
Chapter 39: Hey~ show yourself?
Amid the roaring and shattering sounds, the entire building finally began to collapse under the destruction of battle and the burning of fire.
Lin Yi quickly ran to where Tanjiro was lying not far away, but before that Nezuko arrived first and helped her extremely weak brother up.
The collapse became more and more violent, with broken and even burning wood or other things falling down and hitting the ground. For a moment, it was like the flames turned into raindrops falling down, sweeping over one after another.
"You'll just die here!"
The color of darkness swept over again, and Besi broke free from the fox fire released by Lily of the Valley and swooped down towards them the next moment.
Then he was pressed to the ground by the suddenly spreading blue field.
The fox fire was faint, spreading out like a flower, and transformed into a huge stance that enveloped the first floor, locking Rest and Besi even more firmly in their original positions, completely unable to move.
Not only that, as this stance unfolded, a strange power spread. Lin Yi clearly felt that the injuries on his body from the fight with Parsons were healing rapidly, and Tanjiro, who was shot in the stomach not far away, gradually regained color on his face.
This is the most powerful move that Suzuran possesses, a move that can maximize her natural ability. In the words of the fox girl herself, this is the power that her father taught her, healing teammates and binding enemies, an ability of great strategic significance on the battlefield.
The falling, burning debris slowed down as it approached this area.
Lily of the Valley has released her ability to the maximum, almost completely stagnating everything in her area except her friendly forces. The little girl's face now looks somewhat painful, and it is obvious that the release of abilities on this scale has begun to cause harm to her.
"How is it possible...Shouldn't you...Is this another deliberate false news?!"
Besi was already a little numb at this moment.
He saw Lin Yi raising his middle finger towards him and shaking it gently not far away, and immediately realized that the secret finger signal that Lin Yi and Linglan had just exchanged was probably a means to confuse him.
It doesn't take Lily of the Valley three minutes to use her ability; instead, only one minute is enough.
The battle had reached such an intense situation, but Lin Yi was still thinking about how to set a trap for Besi and Rest. Moreover, Linglan, the seemingly little girl, immediately understood Lin Yi's meaning and cooperated with him in making fake gestures.
Are you kidding me? Is there something wrong with this man's brain?
But even so, it's too late.
Looking up, Besi saw the figure falling from above.
"Old Bob? Lillian?!"
At this moment, Lin Yi also saw Old Bob falling from the sky, holding Lillian.
He strode forward, but he could not catch up with the speed at which the other party fell. As a result, he could only watch the two men fall to the ground and fall into a pile of wood chips.
If we fall from this height...
"It's okay, Mr. Lin Yi. My Foxfire is healing them. Old Mr. Bob will be fine. And Lillian... Hey?"
Linglan, who quickly spoke to remind Lin Yi, was stunned by the voice the next moment.
Also stunned were Lin Yi, and Tanjiro, who was being treated by fox fire not far away and whose wounds had mostly healed, allowing him to stand up.
That's the sound of the system.
It was the voice of the Savior System that sounded in their minds.
[Abnormal space node area has been confirmed]
[The goal of this mission: Eliminate abnormal space nodes, the target has been found]
The dull, emotionless voice of the system echoed in the minds of the three saviors.
Then, as if looking up instinctively, the three of them saw that after the house collapsed, after the villa collapsed into a pile of burning ruins, there was something that was still standing in the air and did not fall down.
Is that a... sculpture?
A sculpture of a hanging maggot with a human-like skull head.
Surrounded by red and white floating candle flames, there are sculptures of upside-down maggots with black, baby-like bodies crawling on their fat torsos.
Aesthetically, it's pretty bad.
"Is this thing the source of the crisis in this world? Is it also where the abnormal space is located?"
Lin Yi frowned, looked at the inverted sculpture floating in the air, took out his pistol and aimed at the other party.
boom!
He pulled the trigger and the bullet flew out, going straight through the sculpture itself.
It was like passing through an illusion in the water, passing through without touching anything.
"You don't think that a mere human creation can touch our Lord, the statue of the Supreme Lord of Beard, do you?"
Besi, who was not far away, showed a somewhat smug smile at this time.
"Perhaps a few hours ago, it was still useful for you to do this, but it is useless now. The connection has been completed, although only forty-two of the forty-nine sacrifices have been completed. The ritual was carried out in advance before the sacrifices for this final round were selected. However, even if the connection is incomplete, you are still not qualified to touch it."
The more he spoke, the more ferocious Besi's expression became.
