Everything returned to normal as soon as Vidaly left.
Smith and Mitch struggled to get up.
If not for the broken house and the corpses of the scaled-people, they would not have believed that a fierce battle had taken place here.
'Is this the cruelty of the supernatural world?'
Smith looked at the scene and mumbled to himself, 'Under the peaceful reality, there is an unparalleled danger.'
"Mister Mentor, look at my father."
Vivian called for help.
Fang Xian walked over and looked at the fainted Uncle Reb. He nodded and said, "He's fine. Fortunately, the transformation was interrupted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to turn back into a human … Even so, there should be some side effects, such as liking seawater and eating seaweed …"
"That's good."
Vivian was already crying tears of joy. She looked at her fainted mother and brother. After checking them and finding that they were fine, she immediately ran upstairs and brought down a folder. "This is what that person wanted from me, Spot's diary. I don't understand. Why does Spot need this diary? This is clearly his work. It's no secret from him. "
Fang Xian took it and sensed the dark power on it. He thought, "Maybe, what he needs is not the content of the diary, but the diary itself … In the diary, there is a certain amount of ritual power. After a long time of accumulation, the 'misfortune' accumulated by different people would be difficult even for Spot to create an identical diary. And Vidaly, as Spot's descendant, can absorb the power of misfortune in the diary and become stronger rapidly … Or, is this a 'trap' that Spot left for Vidaly?"
Although he did not open it, he already knew the contents of the diary like the back of his hand due to his slightly psychic ability.
"This diary, Mister Mentor, should be kept safe."
Vivian looked at Fang Xian blankly.
Today was the first time she saw her mentor's face.
Of course, Smith and Mitch were the same.
The reason Fang Xian exposed himself was that he did not plan to continue as an investigator.
The apocalypse was near, and there was not much time left.
He had to devote all his energy to the research of Hopkinton Divine Arts and other important projects.
"The barrier here has been broken. The abnormality will soon attract investigators …" Fang Xian looked around. "The two of them can leave with me. What are you going to do?"
Vivian was dumbfounded.
At this moment, she opened her mouth and finally thought of how to deal with the aftermath.
"Looks like you're still unwilling to abandon your family and leave on your own … Then I'll help you hypnotize them and treat what happened today as a battle between two groups of heathens for the ancient books …"
Fang Xian waved his hand. "This can only buy you some time. After that, you will still have to face a choice. After all … coming into contact with supernatural forces in itself represents danger. "
"I understand."
Vivian nodded solemnly.
…
Whoosh.
The pure white waves slapped against the pitch-black cliffs and rocks. This scene continued and repeated, as if it would go on forever.
Amidst the loud clapping sounds.
Vedre walked into a cave.
The cave was located in the middle of the cliff. The ground was damp and the air was turbid. There were seashell, hermit crabs, and other creatures crawling on the walls.
She completely revealed her Scaled-Person appearance and turned a blind eye to these things. Instead, she felt very comfortable. She walked into the depths of the cave.
At the end of the cave, there was a green pool, from which the salty smell of seawater flowed continuously. This spring seemed to be directly connected to the sea.
Countless bones could be seen in the pool.
Among them, there were fish creatures, and some were clearly humans!
They were piled together in a messy manner, but there was a sense of chaos and asymmetry, giving off an ancient aura of ritual and sacrifice.
This was an altar!
An altar that belonged to the Scaled-People!
Vedre walked to the edge of the pool, opened her mouth, and used the unique vocal cords of the Scaled-People to chant an incantation.
Invisible ripples quickly spread with the help of the seawater.
Ten minutes later, a black shadow appeared at the bottom of the pool, as if using the passage to the sea, it swam over at the speed of a torpedo.
Whoosh!
The seawater split open, and an old Scaled-Person walked out, speaking in an ancient and cryptic language, "My descendant … You've failed … You've disappointed me!"
"Spot … We're all slaves of the great ones. Don't always call yourself my ancestor …" Vedre snorted coldly.
"Your bloodline isn't pure. You must obtain my diary before you can carry out the purification ceremony and become a true Scaled-Person. You'll become ancient and great …" Spot spoke in a tone that sounded like a charlatan.
"I know all that you've said … I also know … what you've done to my ancestors, and the curse of the sea …" A smile suddenly appeared on Vedre's face that was covered in scales.
"You …"
Spot's expression changed. He felt the surrounding darkness invading him, making him kneel on the ground in pain. His body seemed to be overflowing with tangible pain.
"Looks like … the damage that Roca brought to your spiritual body is more serious than I imagined … Haha …"
Vedre laughed wildly. She suddenly charged forward, opened her mouth, and revealed her sharp teeth. She bit down on Spot's shoulder.
* Puff! *
She bit off a piece of flesh and chewed with force. "As expected of an old Scaled-Person. There's another way to purify your bloodline other than through the ceremony, isn't there?"
"How did you know? You're going to betray the sea? "
Spot struggled. He never imagined that this descendant that he had manipulated would set up a trap to kill him!
"I didn't betray them. Big fish eat small fish. This is the food chain of the sea, and it's also the rule of nature … Killing each other among the Scaled-People to allow the stronger ones to take over is also allowed … Look … Elder Deep Sea did not take back his favor, that's the best proof!"
Vedre chanted an incantation. The seawater suddenly surged, forming a whirlpool.
Countless piranhas appeared in the whirlpool. The number was enough to make one's scalp numb.
The next moment, the whirlpool swallowed Spot, and traces of blood spread.
"After the bloodline is purified, I'll be the new high priest of the Scaled-People … I'll worship Elder Deep Sea and obtain his permission to go to the palace of the great ones …"
Vedre's eyes revealed a hint of madness.
…
"Infighting? It's too normal for a half-crazy cultist … "
Fang Xian closed his eyes and channeled his spirit to see this scene. "Hmm … Worshipping Elder Deep Sea and going to the palace of the great ones through it is indeed a way to avoid the Secret Keeper's surveillance …"
