The Final Story of Miss Weird

But Luo Ling always inexplicably thought of the first person at the tea party, what she said at that time, and that mysterious smile.

...so annoying.

Luo Ling patted his little head hard, trying to get this weird guy out of his mind.

"The core area is ahead... If this hatchery is indeed part of "Purgatory", then we are not only entering the core area, but also the area covered by the strange phenomenon "Purgatory". "

Frick's steady voice sounded, bringing Luo Ling's thoughts back to the present.

Lina forced herself to be alert and picked up the musket cautiously.

With Frick, a knight teammate who is good at head-on combat, protecting her, she can focus on sniping without distraction and is more confident that she can exert even greater strength than before.

"Miss Bai, just take care of yourself. There's no need to come and help."

Lina leaned down slightly and whispered something.

She didn't want to let this new friend participate in such a dangerous action, but if the other party insisted, she could only try her best not to put the little sister in danger...whether she could help was secondary.

Although Luo Ling showed excellent fighting qualities in the previous battle, what they have to face now may not only be weirdness, but also... "Pioneers".

The "Pioneer" is much more cunning and terrifying than this degraded version of "Purgatory".

"Well, don't worry, I know."

Of course Luo Ling knew what Lina was thinking, and she also knew that this was Lina's good intention.

However, she still underestimated Luo Ling's true strength.

After a short rest, several people carefully stepped into the core area.

"..."

Although there were no markings as boundaries, when Luo Ling entered the area covered by the strange phenomenon "Purgatory", he could clearly perceive the changes in the surroundings.

A kind of unspeakable "malice" was watching her, but it seemed that it was aware of her identity and was quite cautious when approaching her.

The other two were not so lucky. Lina seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist, and Frick was no exception.

They immediately took out their respective protective sacrificial instruments to block out the strange influence.

Lina originally wanted to protect Luo Ling at the same time, but when she turned her head and saw the propped-up starlight shield, she remembered that what Luo Ling was holding in her hand was the "Youmang" given to her by her mother, which was even better than the protective sacrificial device she was using now.

In fact, Luo Ling would not be affected by the strange phenomena whether she used the sacrificial vessel or not, but within the coverage of "Purgatory", the range that her spores could detect was further compressed, so it was better to make more preparations.

Howls of pain could be heard all around, and corpses were visible everywhere, slowly turning into grey mist as if they were being digested.

"I fought my way out from here," Frick said with a serious face. He looked around cautiously and said in a deep voice, "Be careful. The number of tumor monsters around has obviously decreased. I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish his words, two figures attacked from the darkness.

"careful!"

Lina let out a low cry and raised her musket.

Two gunshots rang out, forcing back the two figures that suddenly attacked.

Only then did Frick raise his sword slightly, his face full of lingering fear.

"Thank you, Captain...wait, who are they..."

Lina, holding the musket, had a complicated look in her eyes and sighed.

"Helen, and Lucia."

The second member of the "Hunting" team.

As Frick said, they, like Wilson, have all been transformed into deformed beasts and become part of "Purgatory".

Helen was a beautiful blue-haired woman when she was alive, but now her beautiful face, which she was so proud of, is full of holes. The bridge of her nose has been completely cut off, and her blue eyes, which should have been bright, have completely rotted away. The collagen on her face has turned into smelly rotten flesh, and her shriveled body looks like a mummy that has crawled out of a grave.

During her lifetime, she was an awakened person of the "element" path who controlled the water element and was able to transform her body into water.

But after being corrupted, all the flesh and blood on his body completely turned into surging filthy blood, and even gold and stone were melted wherever it touched.

"...Helen loves beauty."

Looking at the ugly appearance of her former teammate, Lina felt a little depressed.

On the other hand, Lucia's situation was even worse.

Lucia is the youngest in the "Hunter" team. Although her strength is also the weakest, she is the "All Souls" path awakener with the strongest ability to survive.

Unlike Wilson, the half-baked nanny, Lucia has specialized healing abilities for weird corruption. With all her efforts, even if half of the body is infected by weirdness, it can be restored to its original state.

Logically speaking, if she were there, she would never have been corrupted by "Purgatory".

At least she herself wouldn't be corrupted.

But now...

The petite Lucia of the past had become terribly bloated, and her 1.5-meter-tall figure had turned into a burly fat woman over three meters tall.

A closer look revealed that the baby's face was covered with pus-oozing tumors, and even its cute face was filled with tumors, making one feel sick at first sight.

When Lina thought of Lucia's sunny and cheerful smile in the past and then looked at her terrible appearance now, she closed her eyes in pain.

The next moment, when she opened her eyes, only hatred and anger remained.

"Flick!"

"Captain, I'm here."

Frick held a knight's sword and protected Lina between the two deformed beasts.

"Do whatever you can to free our teammates."

Lina said softly, and the ritual used before was unfolded again, and the powerful pressure of inspiration slowly emerged.

She wanted to end her teammates' suffering in the least painful way.

"Yes."

Flick took one look at Lina and knew what the captain was going to do.

He held the sword and went straight towards the corrupted Helen and Lucia.

Luo Ling stood beside Lina, holding the "Absolute Blade" in his hand.

Many tumor monsters around were attracted by their life breath and walked towards them crookedly.

Frick no longer had the energy to deal with the two deformed beasts alone and strangle these tumorous monsters, so he had to leave it to Luo Ling.

Luo Ling did not choose to use domination to destroy them, but instead used the sharpness of "Absolute Blade" to chop down these poor people one by one.

The rotten blood on the ground flowed into a river, but under the influence of "Purgatory", it gradually melted away and became a part of "Purgatory".

The night is deep, but this long battle has just begun.

Chapter 4: Perfect Murder (5k)

The moon sets and the stars sink.

Almost the entire street was reduced to ruins. Looking up, there were torn stones and wood everywhere, and the cracked ground was covered with shocking rotten flesh.

The number of tumor monsters in the core area was indeed huge. Luo Ling had chopped them so hard that even his wrists were slightly sore, but it was still difficult to deal with the almost endless group of tumor monsters.

Not to mention that there are quite a few deformed beasts mixed in. Fortunately, there is no one at the upper awakened level among them, otherwise... with the physical fitness of the three of them, it would be difficult to hold on.

After this tough battle, Luo Ling was the only one who hadn't been injured... Of course, that was mainly because she was not the main target of the deformed beasts, and she had been dealing with tumor monsters.

"Cough cough..."

Lina coughed violently a few times and spat out some internal organs.

She wiped the blood off her face, turned her head to look at Luo Ling, and whispered,

"Thank you, Miss Bai."

"polite."

Luo Ling nodded.

In the previous battle, Lina overdrew her body again and defeated the corrupted Helen and Lucia.

But Helen and Lucia were both eighth-level awakeners when they were alive. After being corrupted, their abilities had exceeded the limits of what humans can achieve. Their frontal lethality alone was beyond the reach of ninth-level awakeners.

Fortunately, after being corrupted, they lost most of their sanity and only had the simplest cooperation, which gave Lina and others a glimmer of hope.

Luo Ling also helped secretly, secretly using "Complete Domination" to alleviate several crises encountered by Lina and Frick.

But even so, Lina still lost both legs and one hand in the battle, and was accidentally contaminated with contaminated corrupted flesh and blood. If she had not decisively cut off her corrupted hands and feet, Lina would probably have become like Helen and Lucia now.

Of course, there is another reason why Lina acted so decisively: Miss Bai, who could regenerate flesh and blood, was by her side.

After the treatment, Lina was almost exhausted and could only lean against the wall to rest.

She silently watched Helen and Lucia gradually disappear, closed her eyes in pain, and sighed deeply.

"It's all because I'm not competent enough as captain..."

"This is not your problem, Miss Lina." Luo Ling said softly.

"Miss Bai, you don't have to comfort me like this." Lina turned her head to look at Luo Ling, pulled the corners of her mouth, and forced a smile. "By the way, Frick is also injured. Please lend a hand and treat him."

At the same time, Frick was leaning against the ruins on the other side, dying. Even his beautiful knight armor was stained with filthy, rotten flesh and blood, looking horrible.

Hearing this, Luo Ling nodded slightly. She stood up, walked to the reclining Frick, and squatted down slightly.

"Do you need me to help you up, sir?" Luo Ling asked softly, "Or do you not intend to continue with your plan? Now there is only one person left in the "Hunting" team."

After the words fell, Lina beside him showed a look of surprise. Frick, who had his eyes closed, showed a slightly helpless expression, opened his eyes and said,

"Little girl, when did you find out?"

"I don't know," Luo Ling replied, "but I know you are not just a member of the Fate Society."

"Wouldn't it be great if this battle ended in complete failure?" Frick looked at Luo Ling calmly. "The Hunting Team tried their best, but still failed. They were completely wiped out in the hatchery of Purgatory... At least this result would be easier for the captain and his mother to accept."

"Frick, what are you talking about!" Lina's eyes widened. She stared at Frick and said word by word, "What do you mean?"

Frick did not answer Lina's question. His eyes stayed on Luo Ling.

"Look, little girl, it's all because of you that the current situation has become so ugly."

He stood up and patted his armor casually, not looking like he was dying at all.

There wasn't even a trace of corruption or erosion - Frick's armor was a set of ritual vessels specially made for Purgatory, which could completely isolate it from its influence.

This also means that from the very beginning, Frick knew that this was the hatchery of "Purgatory".

In the battle just now, Luo Ling confirmed this through the spores, and at the same time, it also completely confirmed her guess.

There's a traitor in this hatchery operation.

The traitor is Frick.

Just as Lina said, the tragic deaths of several teammates were too strange. With their strength, they should not have died so easily in this hatchery.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Compared with Lina's trust in her teammates, Luo Ling had some doubts about Flick from the beginning when he appeared.

Even though Spore confirmed Frick's human identity and had nothing to do with weirdness, because of what the First Person said, even if he was a human awakener, Luo Ling did not trust him 100%.

Afterwards, Luo Ling discovered that the tokens of her other two forces had been resonating. After a simple confirmation, she found that the object of resonance was actually Frick, and he was not only a member of the "Fate Society".

However, he must have collected the tokens from other forces, so he didn't notice it.

Therefore, in order to avoid being noticed by Frick, Luo Ling also hid the token.

The most important thing is that in the battle just now, Frick obviously did not use his full strength. His strength should be more than that of an eighth-level awakener. Coupled with the sacrificial instruments prepared in advance, he seemed to be at ease throughout the whole battle and hardly suffered any injuries, but he deliberately acted hard-working and tired.

Frick’s acting is actually very good, but it’s a pity that none of this is a secret in Spore’s view.

Including... Frick deliberately brought crises to Lina several times, trying to put her to death. At this point, Luo Ling completely confirmed Frick's identity as a traitor.

The one who planned all this...

"So, is it that the Fate Society gave too little, or that the Company gave too much... or that the Fire Granter offered you an offer you couldn't refuse?"

Luo Ling also stood up, looking at Frick with a calm look under his cloak, "I want to know what made you choose to betray your teammates and send Wilson, Helen, Lucia, and that... old Wei to Purgatory as nourishment."

Just like the battle just now, Flick didn't need to do anything himself. He just needed to use the trust of his teammates and make a little mistake, and that was enough.

The "Hunting" team had a good relationship and trusted each other, but this trust became a weapon that Frick used to kill him.
