008 Sketch

The criss-crossing rifts appeared on the Flame Emblem, and Downey was sure that the change was not caused by the strength of his own hands.

The badge was placed on the table, and Downey could see a dark shadow appear on the section of the badge.

Obviously, Donnie's worries have come true, and the curse of the Eye Demon on his body is indeed not simple.

Donnie struggled to recall the process of stepping on the Eye of the Eyeman, and it seemed that when the Eye Demon's eye shattered, a not-so-bright red light bloomed under his feet.

The light lasted for a short time, and it disappeared less than a second after Donnie lifted his foot.

Donnie stood in front of the mirror in his room, looking at the figure in the mirror, and there seemed to be a glow in his eyes.

A few lines of text appeared in front of his eyes:

[Ordinary human: Donnie. Winchester

Message 1: Ordinary humans; Elite among ordinary humans.

Message 2: Cartoonist, graduated from the art department of Blackstone University, and has a lackluster life.

Information 3: Ability --- a line of garbled characters (check after skill improvement) ---, know fighting skills; Among the current curses, this curse is the rebirth curse of the Eye Demon, and if his own will cannot resist the attack of the curse's power, he will become the next Eye Demon; Donnie has a general human weakness. 】

Donnie's face was instantly unsightly, which was completely different from the result he had thought.

The Eye Demon is a kind of monster, and the strength is put aside first, and the appearance of a main eye and a compound eye with more than a dozen tentacles at the front is unacceptable to Donnie.

Because of this, Donnie immediately grabbed the cracked flame badge and surrounded him again.

After reading his information with the Eye of General Knowledge, Donnie felt a dizziness in his head, and visions began to appear in his mind, this skill must have a limit to how it can be used, and it will consume Donnie's energy.

As for the last column of his own information, Downey felt that he was referring to the player template on himself, so he didn't pay attention to it.

As time ticked by, Donnie sat up abruptly from the bathtub where the cold water had slowed down.

It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and it took Downey to wake up when there was a constant knock on the door outside the apartment.

At this time, Donnie looked rather haggard, dripping with water all over his body.

"Donnie? I'm an employee of the publishing house, and Mr. Elsie asked me to come and get the sketches! ”

The people outside seemed to be in a hurry, and Downey looked through the cat's eye to find a middle-aged man he had never seen standing outside the door, it was the height of summer, and sweat was running down his cheeks.

Do you want to open the door for him?

Donnie shook his head, even if the people outside were okay, Donnie didn't plan to open the door for him.

After arguing for a while, the middle-aged employee of the publishing house did not leave, but stared at the door of the apartment without moving.

He just stood, like a cold and hard sculpture of a monastery.

A minute passes---

Five minutes passed---

Half an hour later, the man was still standing outside the door in his original position, and Downey was almost certain that the man's eyes hadn't blinked.

Judging by his performance, it's almost certain that there is something wrong with this man.

In one day, being approached by three weirdos, Donnie felt that his luck was too bad.

Turning on the pistol safety filled with holy silver bullets, Donnie stood on the side of the door, staring at the movement of the door, once the door was knocked open, Donnie would immediately shoot outside the door without hesitation!

But things weren't bad enough to get that bad, and an hour later, the middle-aged man, who was standing motionless outside the door, finally made a move, bent down and pulled out his right hand in his pocket.

The man's palm was dark green, and because the light was a little dimmer compared to before, Donnie couldn't see it very clearly, and there seemed to be a layer of scales growing on his palm.

The fingernails of this hand were extremely long, like sharp daggers, and he was carving something into the wall outside Donnie's house at this time.

Downey didn't look at the weird profile, as he was pretty sure that his abilities were depleted, but the player template wasn't shown.

Before, when Donnie checked his own information, he had a lot of illusions due to dizziness, and because of this, he didn't check the information of people outside.

But now the weirdness outside seems to be making a mark, and you don't have to think about it to know that hiding in the house won't solve the problem.

"The Eye of General Knowledge!"

A few lines of text suddenly appeared in front of Donnie:

[Weird: Lizardmen--- Rodney. Taurn

Message 1: Because of the infection, they became strange publishing house employees; Inferior ordinary transcendent life (weird).

Message 2: The young man who came out of his hometown to wander was transformed into a lizardman by the power of --- who could not see the ---.

Message 3: Rodney the lizardman is fast, stronger than ordinary people, has low psychic ability, and can disguise himself as a human; He has many weaknesses, in addition to being a lizard, he is very afraid of heat; The challenges are still dangerous for you right now. 】

Judging by Rodney's information, he turned out to be an employee of the Terror Valley Publishing House!

In other words, Rodney has nothing to do with the previous half-demon and the curse of the eye demon on his body.

Did he really come to pick up the drawings?

Downey shook his head, things couldn't be that simple.

There was little time, and the sound of Rodney scratching the wall stopped, and the rickety body stood up straight, turning and disappearing into the darkness of the corridor.

Is this lizardman really gone?

Donnie had some doubts in his mind, and it was a while after Rodney had disappeared before he opened the door.

To the right of the apartment door, an eerie, twisted symbol appeared on the wall.

This symbol is simpler than the raised lines on the Fire Emblem, and Downey's shallow occult knowledge is precisely the interpretation of this symbol.

This is the Vana rune that originated in the north of the Radiant Continent, and it is a rune unique to the Vana god system that once occupied that land, which means that the person who carved this rune is watching you.

Donnie suddenly realized that he seemed to be being watched.

This means that his address has been confirmed, and I am afraid that the lizardman will come back later.

Donnie immediately called Lawrence, but the motel man said Lawrence was gone.

"The good news is that Lawrence will be back soon, and the bad news is that there's a lizardman out there with a curse on him, and there may be Lawrence's enemies coming to him."

Thinking like this, Donnie suddenly felt his head grow.

Before returning to the house, Donnie used a dagger to scratch out the Varner runes from the gun, which was uncertain if it would work, but it was better than doing nothing.

Lawrence's basement didn't have many supernatural items, mainly to restrain ghosts, demons, and aliens, and it didn't take Downey much time to arm himself.

At this time, Donnie was wearing a belt full of vials of holy water, the pistol had been filled with holy silver bullets, and on the other side was a silver-plated knife branded with a pentagram.

Donnie doesn't have night vision, and now it's easy to go out and be attacked by those weird people who linger in the night, so it's better to stay here and wait for Lawrence's return.

With visions, thirst, and excruciating heat, Downey had the most dangerous day since the time of travel.

The night is dark, and the lights of the city turn the dark clouds in the sky red.

Downey had a feeling that his Oakford seemed to come to life.
