Outside Huai Shi's door, chaotic screams and roars could already be heard.
Someone ran out of his room as if he was running for his life, but immediately after, he was pressed to the ground by his companions who had already fallen into madness. Then, they ate him heartily.
"Help! Help! You bunch of lunatics! "
That terrified voice screamed, wanting to ask for help, but it attracted more and more lunatics until finally, it was drowned out by the greedy chewing sound.
There was no more sound.
But soon, more voices were heard.
Those were murmurs, murmurs, and murmurs that no longer had any reason. Those murmurs that were like sleep-talking echoed in the intermittent roars, entangling people's ears. The disjointed and meaningless words annoyed Huai Shi, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent in his heart. He wanted to chop the creators of these murmurs into pieces.
— Everyone who murmurs must die!
He panted violently, feeling dazed. It wasn't until a glass of cold water was splashed on his face that he woke up under Ai Qing's cold warning.
He was sweating profusely.
"What's going on?" He looked at Lily blankly.
Lily was speechless. She stretched out her hand and pointed outside the broken porthole of Huai Shi's room.
Between the dark sea and the sky.
The sky was like an iron rock, pitch-black, but one couldn't tell whether it was far or near. It seemed to be untouchable, but it pressed heavily on everyone's heart.
It was hard to breathe.
The strange sea was still calm, without even the slightest ripple.
But on the mirror-like flat surface of the sea, a waning moon that didn't exist in the sky was reflected.
The waning moon was scarlet, and countless rays of light were emitted from the haze, like slender blood threads extending in all directions. The scarlet waning moon didn't ascend to the sky, but sank to the bottom of the sea. In the endless abyss, it coldly stared at a group of earthly ants.
Then, it sprinkled madness.
Just looking at the red moon that looked like a broken eye, Huai Shi felt his vision turn black, and he coughed dryly in his throat, thirsting for blood.
"Curse?"
Huai Shi whispered softly.
With the descent of Evernight, the gods' curse on these abandoned people finally reached the surface of this empty sea … Under the illumination of the scarlet waning moon, all of their minds and rationality would be pulled out bit by bit. Then, their instincts and desires would be revealed without any concealment.
Thus, the dark sea had turned into a curtain, and this cruise ship was a carefully arranged stage. The abandoned people would surrender to their original sin bit by bit, performing a final farce for the gods.
But at this time …
"No, it's obviously at this time." Ai Qing said coldly, "If it was really Lei Feizhou who did it, then he must have colluded with the gods who intercepted us … Perhaps this is his secret mission."
If it were any other time, the people on the ship would inevitably be affected, but at least they could restrain themselves. However, who could guarantee that they wouldn't be affected by the wolf disaster at this moment?
As long as there was a trace of killing intent, it would be magnified thousands of times.
In other words, it seemed that as long as one guarded their mind and was a good person, they would be safe. This might be the last mercy of the gods. Unfortunately, which of the people who boarded this ship could restrain their innate sins and choose to be a good person?
Once they were used to solving problems in bloody ways, they would inevitably be devoured by their own violence and madness when encountering such a situation.
Then, they would burn themselves in the flames.
Including … Van Helsing.
Above the red moon in the sea, Huai Shi retracted his gaze with difficulty, feeling dizziness and pain in his trance.
It was as if his blood was flowing in reverse.
He staggered back a step and sat on the ground, panting violently, cold sweat oozing from his forehead. He had clearly just sucked in a mouthful of blood, but now he felt an indescribable hunger and thirst.
There was a burning sensation in his pocket.
He took out the hot coin and saw the red-hot cross mark on it, as well as the angry face of the archangel on the back.
Holding the thunder fire and thorns in his hand, the whip from the Holy Spirit lineage had now descended on him.
"F * ck!"
He involuntarily screamed and shrank his body, feeling the sharp pain seeping from his bones. It was the archbishop's order and urging, urging him to complete his mission.
Now! Immediately! Immediately!
The church's surveillance had never been far away, and Huai Shi's long period of slacking had finally brought about a bad outcome.
The blood punishment engraved in his bones began.
Along with it came an irresistible thirst and bloodthirst. The precepts that had long been engraved in his soul were like red-hot silver, tearing his soul apart and rewriting the irresistible order on his body.
Find Paracelsus, and burn that damned deformed child and his blasphemous creation to the Supreme Gods into oblivion!
"Our Father in heaven, may people honor your name as holy, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven …"
In a trance, he heard a soft whisper, like a prayer, echoing in his ears. Drops of cold water fell on his head, extinguishing the flames that seemed to want to burn him. Drops of water soaked his cheeks, like soaking dry land.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Lily, half kneeling on the ground and praying softly, with a cup of water in her hand.
The remaining water droplets in the cup dripped onto his face bit by bit, bringing with them wisps of holy light.
It was as if he was being baptized again.
Through this ritual of bathing, the original sin was washed away.
The holy water made from the prayers of believers diluted the pain, diluting it to a tolerable range … giving him a chance to breathe.
Lily stretched out her hand, opened his mouth, and rudely flipped his teeth. She glimpsed the silver alloy that had been poured into the pulp of his teeth and could not help but frown. "So cruel … Who engraved such harsh precepts on you?"
"Aha, let's just say … it's from my old father."
Huai Shi gasped, got up from the ground, took the cup, and drank the last bit of water in one gulp. Finally, he felt a little alive.
Just a little …
"Ai Qing, what's wrong with my card now?"
"There's a new status called 'Punishment of Breach of Oath.'"
Ai Qing's voice was hoarse, perhaps because the dizziness had not ended, even her voice was a little fuzzy. "It has increased your stamina and toughness, but before you put the silver coin into Paracelsus' blood, there will be a test every six hours, causing pain and reducing HP.
Thirty-six hours later, the status will end. "
"I'm free?" Huai Shi asked.
"No, you will be killed."
Ai Qing bit her lip, held the armrest tightly, and did not tell him the second half of the sentence. "Along with me."
On the back of her pale hand, purplish blue veins bulged. The intense pain still lingered in her body, destroying what little willpower she had left.
As Huai Shi's condition eased, she finally had the strength to breathe. She wiped the cold sweat on her face and looked at KP.
"Is this also your trick?"
"The so-called life and death together, isn't this the same thing?"
KP's palm supported his chin, looking at her embarrassed appearance. "Why didn't you tell the kid the seriousness of the matter? You should have let him be a little vigilant, right? If he knew the consequences, he wouldn't be so passive and slack like now. "
"Yes."
Ai Qing nodded slightly, looking down at the thin piece of paper representing Huai Shi, and couldn't help but chuckle. "That guy, as long as there is pressure, no matter what he does, he will be fast. If you use a little bit of this information to guide him, no matter what kind of task it is, he can complete it beautifully, right?
But you don't understand one thing. I'm not your hostage, and he won't be your puppet. "
Ai Qing raised her eyes, staring at the smiling man in front of her, and told him word by word, "KP, this game between us is not over yet. Before I smash your chessboard and dice in your face …"
"No matter what you want, I won't let you get what you want!"
KP's expression froze, and then he raised his eyebrows, as if he was looking forward to it.
"I'll wait and see."
.
.
"In other words, we have to act now, right?"
Huai Shi finally came back to his senses, and took out his equipment from the suitcase, putting it on one by one.
"In such a turbulent time, I'm afraid that other people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to take action. No matter what, this is a good time to complete the mission and plot … I can only say that Lei Feizhou did a good job as a supervisor."
Ai Qing coldly said, "If you want to stay out of this, the gains will not make up for the losses. We have already been involved, and it will be too late when the other side comes to break down the door."
"Okay."
Huai Shi nodded, and finally put the axe on the buckle behind his waist, and twisted his stiff neck. "Let me see what that traitor Lei Feizhou wants to do."
Lily looked at him getting ready to go, and shook her head unhappily. "Are you still going to go out?"
"After all, the old fathers can't wait anymore."
Huai Shi looked down at the brand mark on the back of his hand, and helplessly shook his head. "After I leave, you seal the door and don't let anyone break in."
"I thought you would ask for my help." Lily looked down at the entry in the book, and nodded. "Are you going to keep this favor and use it later?"
"What kind of favor is there?" Huai Shi couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "Even without me, you will be fine, right?"
Compared to her easy and comfortable double body, he, who spent half a day and didn't even save a single person, was really inferior. How could he have the face to ask for a favor?
"If you don't ask for anything in return, why would you spend so much effort to save someone who has nothing to do with you?" She frowned, puzzled. "Are you saying that you are the kind of person in the book who will be happy to help others?"
"Just take it that way."
Huai Shi waved his hand indifferently. "Although I'm not sure if it's to be a hero or vanity, there is one thing I'm sure of."
He took one last look at the girl in front of him, and softly laughed. "When I found out that you were still alive, I was really happy."
Admiring her dumbfounded expression, Huai Shi pushed the door open and closed it behind her, sealing off the safe and narrow space.
Then, he used the short knife to nail the ghost that pounced on him to the opposite wall.
Blood spurted out.
The living corpse struggled with all its might, but soon, its nerves were disintegrated by the poison in the sword oil, and it no longer moved.
Noisy screams and roars sounded not far away, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air. It was simply refreshing.
He felt the surging fierceness and killing intent in his heart.
"Come —"
Facing the black shadows that were rushing towards him, Huai Shi took a deep breath, and the corner of his mouth raised in a ferocious arc. "Let me see if your development is normal!"
He took a step forward.
Stepped into the disaster caused by the wolf disaster.
