The Final Story of Miss Weird

Such a choice...

Not something a captain would do.

"Miss Bai," Lina turned her head to look at Luo Ling and said softly, "Let Frick take you away... You don't need to participate in the danger that follows."

Frick looked at Luo Ling curiously, with a hint of wonder in his eyes.

The first person to notice his presence was the cloaked girl, who looked quite immature upon closer inspection, not even old enough to go to public school.

He had wanted to ask Lina what was going on with this strange little girl since a while ago, but he had never found the opportunity.

"You don't have to send me."

Luo Ling untied the restraints around her waist and put down little Odetta who was tied to her back.

Little Odetta looked around and leaned nervously against Luo Ling, the only person she could trust here.

"Just send her away."

Luo Ling didn't come here to escape danger, but she really had no confidence in protecting little Odetta's safety in the upcoming battle.

Besides...

Luo Ling was still somewhat concerned about the existence of little Odetta.

Because she knows Odetta in the present timeline, as long as she returns to the present world after this timeline ends and asks Odetta, she will know what happened in this timeline.

Whether it will affect the real world or is just an illusory experience...you can get the corresponding truth.

Frick was startled when he saw little Odetta being suddenly carried out by Luo Ling, but after taking a closer look, he showed a surprised expression.

"You are... the daughter of Grand Duke Leiberich?"

Hearing this, Odetta, who was trembling with fear, showed a trace of confusion on her face. She raised her head and looked at Frick.

"Big brother, do you know me?"

Frick half-knelt on the ground and saluted Odetta as a knight. He said in a deep voice,

"Frick, a knight of the Crown Guard of the Duchy of Bavaria, greets Miss Leiberich."

There was a slight sweat on his forehead, and he seemed quite nervous about the appearance of little Odetta here.

Odette von Leiberich tilted her little head, seeming a little puzzled.

Seeing Frick's respectful gesture, Luo Ling and Lina looked at each other and saw the confusion and puzzlement in each other's eyes.

"Odetta, you seem to be some very important person, don't you?"

Luo Ling reached out and touched little Odetta's hair.

"Really?" Little Odetta scratched the back of her head, "I think so..."

"Ms. Leiberich, please allow me to escort you away from this place of trouble."

Frick immediately held out his hand and looked at little Odetta nervously, fearing that she would refuse.

Little Odetta turned her head and looked at Luo Ling reluctantly, but seeing Luo Ling's tacit approval, she nodded.

Frick instantly relaxed, carefully took little Odetta's hand, then turned his head to look at Luo Ling who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Odetta, and whispered,

"Miss Bai, are you sure...you don't want to leave? It will be very dangerous next."

He looked straight at Luo Ling, but Luo Ling always felt that his eyes were a little strange.

"I have some strength, so I won't worry about you, my Lord Knight."

Luo Ling pulled the deformed cloak and covered her face again.

"..."

Frick hesitated to speak, but nodded slightly.

"Okay, if you insist."

Next, the few of them quickly headed to the border of the hatchery.

As Frick used his sword to split the weak point of the hatchery's barrier, a crack appeared and the passage to the outside world was opened.

Luo Ling took this opportunity to use spores to pass through the crack and explore the situation outside the crack.

Is it the real world or the outside world of the current timeline?

But unfortunately, the area outside the crack was like an unloaded game map. Luo Ling's spores were gone forever and could not receive any information. They were not even annihilated by the "Realm of Nothingness".

"Miss, will we meet again?"

Little Odetta looked at Luo Ling reluctantly. This mysterious young lady of similar age who saved her from danger left an indelible impression on her, even though they had only spent a short time together.

"If nothing unexpected happens, yes." Luo Ling nodded.

After hearing Luo Ling's answer, little Odetta's big eyes gradually sparkled, just like when they first met.

She looked at Luo Ling, examining him over and over again, as if she wanted to remember everything about Luo Ling.

The next moment, little Odetta's figure disappeared from the crack and completely left the hatchery. Only her tender and firm voice was still echoing.

"Keep doing your best, Miss Fortune Teller..."

"Miss Bai, you should leave with Miss Leiberich." Frick said dimly.

"Yes, Miss Bai, you really don't have to come with us on this adventure." Lina sighed, "Old Wei is our teammate, not yours..."

At this time, she had already used the holy medicine to restore her inspiration, and her condition had improved a lot, and she was no longer dying.

"What do you think... why did I come here?" Luo Ling tilted his head slightly and gave the two of them a mysterious smile. "What you are about to witness... is the purpose of my trip."

"Really? How much did my mother give you to allow you to take such a risk?" Lina rubbed Luo Ling's head helplessly. Her movements were no longer respectful and distant as they were at the beginning. "If you think it's too little, I'll ask for more for you."

"That's enough." Luo Ling smiled.

Hearing this, Frick's face changed slightly, apparently because Lina mentioned her mother.

But soon, he calmed down, walked to the front, and said,

"Captain, Miss Bai, there is no time to lose. If we have decided to rescue Old Wei, we must set off immediately."

"That's true. Let's go."

Lina nodded, immediately picked up the musket, and followed Frick.

After all, she has a poor sense of direction. If no one leads the way, she will probably never be able to enter the core area in her entire life.

Luo Ling walked at the end of the group, following two adults who were obviously taller than her, but her short legs didn't make her walk too fast.

However, at this moment, Luo Ling raised his hand slightly.

Her eyes fell on her little hand. On her finger was a simple iron ring that seemed to be vibrating slightly, probably some kind of resonance.

This is the token of the "Fire Envoy".

"Are there any other members of the Firebearer around here?"

A little further down, on Luo Ling's wrist, a funny cartoon watch also resonated.

It seems... there is another member of the "Company" nearby.

"It's strange."

Luo Ling muttered something and put the two tokens back into her hair, leaving only the hourglass pendant hanging around her neck.

Chapter 4: "Pioneer" Again (k)

The bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight was slowly pouring down as usual, but it seemed a little eerie on the streets filled with broken walls and monster corpses.

Especially after knowing that her former close teammates had sacrificed their lives or even turned into deformed beasts, Lina's mood became even heavier.

It was indeed as Frick said, there were not many tumor monsters in the periphery, but there were many footprints with filthy blood stains, which were the traces left by the tumor monsters as they crowded towards the core area of ​​the hatchery.

However, even in the face of such a situation, Lina still forced herself to stay alert and continued to move carefully towards the core area.

"Mr. Frick, how much information do you know about this strange hatchery?" Luo Ling, who was walking behind the two of them, asked.

"I'm sorry, when we entered the hatchery to carry out the rescue operation, we only roughly determined the class of this mysterious sleeper, but we don't know the specific sequence and real name."

Frick shook his head and said with a little regret, "In addition, the previous judgment was basically wrong. This should not be just a "dangerous weirdness" in the top 150 of the weird sequence, otherwise it would be impossible to destroy half of the members of the "Hunting" team. "

"If this weirdo is not just a 'dangerous weirdo', I do have some guesses." Lina pondered for a moment. As the captain, she remembered all the public weirdos in the taboo slate. "The 41st weirdo in the sequence, 'Purgatory' of 'Death'... But for 'Purgatory', this hatchery is a little too weak."

"Purgatory?"

Luo Ling frowned slightly. It sounded familiar to her, as if she had met him somewhere before.

Seeing Luo Ling's reaction, Lina looked at her deeply.

"It seems that Miss Bai has dealt with the notorious "Pioneer"... To be more precise, she has met that dwarf, right?"

"dwarf..."

Hearing this, Luo Ling was slightly stunned.

Speaking of the pioneer and the dwarf, Luo Ling could only think of one person, a gentleman who had died in her hands and whose memories had been devoured by her.

And in the current timeline, this gentleman is not dead yet.

""artist"."

Speaking of this short gentleman, Lina's tone was a little more resentful, "He obtained a part of the holy remains from the body of "Purgatory" and made it into a sacrificial vessel, called the "Withered Flower", which contains the most terrifying ability of "Purgatory", turning flesh and blood into corpses... He himself has the ability to drive dead things, the combination is even more terrifying.

"Many of us fell victim to this move. Half of our bodies were turned into corpses while we were still alive. Even if we were rescued in the end... our lives would be worse than death."

Luo Ling was silent for a while. She not only met the flower, but also collided head-on with the "Withered Flower".

It's a pity that the artist using the "Withered Flower" ran into Luo Ling, who was given power by his sister, and was defeated after a game of chess.

After hearing Lina's judgment, Frick fell into deep thought for a moment, then nodded.

"After being reminded by the captain, it is true... The scene in the core area of ​​the hatchery is indeed consistent with the characteristics of "Purgatory". We always thought it was a physical weirdness, but we didn't expect it to be a phenomenon-type weirdness. "

The 41st "Purgatory" in the weird sequence is different from the weird things encountered before. It is a "phenomenon" rather than a visible and tangible existence.

Within the coverage of "Purgatory", all corpses of living beings will be transformed into undead-like beings. At the same time, there are many more strange phenomena and characteristics. What Luo Ling and others see now is just one of them.

"If that's the case... no wonder."

Luo Ling's eyes flickered slightly. No wonder her ability to dominate had little effect on these tumor monsters, because the tumor monsters appeared under the influence of "Purgatory" and had been "dominated" by "Purgatory".

"Purgatory" is even several levels higher than "Kume Rumor" in the weird sequence, but this sequence difference is not entirely a difference in strength.

Because the types of weirdness are different, it is difficult to compare the combat effectiveness of weirdness if there are only a few sequence rankings between them, unless it is a span like "Dangerous Weirdness" to "High-risk Weirdness".

The reason why weirdness is divided into "taboo", "high-risk weirdness", "dangerous weirdness" and the rest of ordinary weirdness is because there is a huge difference between the positions in these sequences, even if there is only one position between them.

Only "dangerous weirdness" can possess the hatchery barrier, only "high-risk weirdness" can master power, and "taboo" is an existence that is absolutely untouchable.

"But, if it is the high-risk weird "Purgatory", the area covered by the hatchery cannot be so small, even if it is just an "egg". "Lina's face darkened, "Damn, I'm afraid it's the "Pioneer" who is causing trouble again..."

The weirdness of the phenomenon type "Purgatory" is different from the weirdness of other entity types. It can be said that its existence itself is like a domain covering an area, so it is completely different from the Puppet Rumor and the like. Even if it is just an "egg"... the range of its hatching place will be quite amazing.

According to the case records in the files, the smallest hatchery takes up at least half of the city, and in most cases the entire city will fall into chaos. The name "high-risk and weird" is not just a joke.

This is why I made wrong judgments before.

But...even if they were to face "Purgatory", it was still very unreasonable for the "Hunting" team to suffer such heavy casualties.

But by associating "Purgatory" with Pioneers, this question seems to have been answered.

Yes, it must be a pioneer!

The artists have the remains of the original "Purgatory" in their hands. Given their understanding of the weird, it is not difficult to replicate the weirdness and the weird hatchery based on the remains.

Therefore, this can also explain why the hatchery of this "Purgatory" is so weak and even the phenomenon is incomplete.

Because... this is originally a degraded version made by the pioneers, so it is normal that it is a little weaker.

When Lina told him her guess, Frick couldn't help but exclaimed, "You are worthy of being the captain. Why didn't I think of that?"

"If you can think of it, you can be the captain."

Lina whispered. She was not proud of Frick's compliment, but felt even more depressed.

Because this means that they are not only facing weirdness, but also pioneers hiding in the dark and who may appear at any time.

Luo Ling felt that this conjecture made some sense. It was consistent with her imagination of pioneers and was indeed something they could do.
