Chapter 266: The Valley of the Guillotine (6)
"You said you caught the big guy?" Jennifer pushes open the door to the dungeon and enters the Revolutionary War-era prison, followed by her boyfriend Hawley, a bounty hunter and antiques dealer who travels the world.
He dragged a large box behind Jennifer with a resentful face at this time, and anyone who suddenly heard the news that the end of the world was about to come would not be too happy, let alone in the United States, a region where the end of the world is frequent.
"That's right." Seeing her sister's arrival, Mills nodded sternly, and she stood in front of a large piece of single-sided glass with her arms folded, through which she could see the Death Knight in the opposite room with a tightly locked door.
It was a self-contained reinforced cell, with a large wattage fluorescent lamp on the roof, and a huge wrist-thick iron cable dragged heavy shackles to the Death Knight's body, exposing him directly to the fluorescent lamp, without any possibility of escape.
"Countless people commit suicide every year because they believe in the end of the world, and I don't want you to be next." Hawley was still chattering and sneering.
Although he had seen some strange phenomena because of his profession, it was better for him to believe in the apocalypse, until he looked up and saw the Headless Horsemann in the middle of the prison opposite.
"Oh......" he opened his mouth, "God! ”
Ignoring the dead-eyed guy, Jennifer also saw the locked Death Knight, she and Mills had been attacked by demons when they were very young, and had dealt with the Death Knight not long ago, so she was not surprised, what really surprised her was that the Death Knight was actually caught by the two.
She didn't believe it when she first got the call. Although daylight is the Death Knight's weakness. But Icabold had already deceived the Death Knight once.
The same trap. The Death Knight doesn't step into it twice. "How did you catch him?" Jennifer asked, looking at the demon in the hall for a moment with the same expression as her sister.
"Not exactly what we caught." Mills shook her black hair, "It's a wizard, a wizard we met before we found the Sword of Methuselah. ”
"Wizard?" Jennifer repeated strangely, "Like...... Catalina like that? Wait, you're saying you've found the Sword of Methuselah? ”
"Yes." This time it was Icabold who answered her, and he nodded. "We found the sword of Methuselah, the legendary sword, and, he...... It's not like Katarina, huh...... It's different. "Shrug," the wizard said himself. Ikabird added.
"Where's the sword?" Jennifer ignored anything else, squinting her eyes and looking around but not finding a sword in the vicinity, she questioned.
"The sword is on it, with the wizard." Mills understood what Jennifer meant, after all, the two were sisters. "I believe him." She nodded to Jennifer.
In that case, Jennifer had no choice but to agree. Without saying anything more, a few people discussed the matter of the Death Knight for a while, and then walked towards the ground passage, if they wanted to make the Death Knight speak, they still needed Yi Huan's help, otherwise with a few of them, I am afraid that they would not even be able to communicate with the Death Knight.
At the same time, Yi Huan leisurely visited the stronghold of Ikabird and others, although this is their stronghold, but it actually belongs to the police station.
Located behind the police station, it was a room that had been closed for many years, and Ikabold knew that an underground passage that had been used to transport ammunition during the Revolutionary War had led to it, and that he had found the dungeon that had been built at the same time.
It's not bad, it's easy to go around, although it's much worse than Minai's Midnight Club, but it's not too demanding.
It's a pity that there is nothing worth his interest here, even the books on the shelves have been read a lot, it is really a barren world.
Therefore, Yi Huan put his eyes on the computer next to the table, and the Internet has a little benefit, that is, it can allow you to understand the world more quickly.
The premise is that you have mastered the method, Yi Huan skillfully broke the layers of passwords, and invaded the database he wanted, Winnie sat beside him upright, although she couldn't understand what it was, but she still watched it with relish.
Let me see, the internal network of the police station is mostly connected, and Yi Huan has broken through their blockade and connected to the ...... Archives...... This is...... Elm Street? Yi Huan was stunned for a moment, he sifted through countless records to find useful information, but he immediately shook his head, he was not interested in the young man who liked to hunt for curiosity.
Go ahead, huh...... This is Washington State, Fox Town Police Department, Carlisle Cullen, Edward Cullen...... It's an interesting record of the town, it's the Twilight Zone, and it's a vampire again.
Yi Huan sighed a little helplessly, are vampires going to invade the world, but unfortunately he is not interested in the little white face, do these vampires who can run and jump have any real human value.
Yi Huan thought about their value, whether it was worth taking a trip by himself, if I remember correctly, there seemed to be a predictable vampire in there, I don't know if she saw what she would do now, Yi Huan wanted to know.
While pondering, Icabold and his party pushed the door open and walked in, "Is there anything new, wizard?" ”
This strange name must have come from the mouth of Icabard, but Yi Huan was already surprised by his name, and Icabard found Yi Huan sitting in front of the computer, and said in amazement, "You would use this thing?" ”
One of the most frustrating things about Icabold is that he doesn't know how to use a computer when he sleeps in the modern world, so every time he sees something that needs to be controlled by Mills, he hates it.
But I have to admit that it is indeed very convenient.
"Isn't that weird?" Yi Huan replied lightly, and he closed all the interfaces without moving, erasing the original records in a few seconds.
"I'm not an antique like you." He closed his notebook, "I'm still a good hacker, though...... I forgot about it myself. ”
Icabold first expressed his anger at the word antique, and then asked curiously, "Black...... What the? ”
"Hackers. A very powerful folk free man on the Internet. Yi shrugged. A simpler and more general explanation has been changed.
"Oh. I see, I know. Icabold suddenly realized and nodded knowingly, "It's like a Hessian mercenary." Although what he understood was completely incorrect.
"Alright, that's it." Mills interrupted the conversation farther and farther away, dragging the focus of the question back, "Did you find anything?" ”
"What do you mean...... What the? Yi Huan spread out his hands, "You didn't tell me what I was looking for." ”
"Well, nothing." Mills also seemed to realize that he was getting more and more flustered by Moloch's approach. She waved her hand, signaling that Yi Huan didn't have to care about the question just now.
"That's right." She suddenly remembered that Yi Huan had just said that he was a very powerful hacker, "What are you doing without my computer, right?" ”
"Of course not." Yi Huan innocently denied it, and then naturally looked past Mills and fell on Jennifer behind her.
"This is your sister, you look alike." Yi Huan gave a friendly smile to the two, "My name is Sean, and I'm a wizard. ”
"Thank you, hello." Jennifer nodded coldly. Years of living in a mental hospital make her less accustomed to dealing with strangers, and she is bent on killing Moloch at this point. Indifferent to anything else, her eyes searched the room, and suddenly she saw the sword on the table, and walked over with great interest.
Holly, who was on the side, smiled at Yi Huan, and he was very interested in the identity of the wizard.
"This is the sword of Methuselah." Jennifer asked slowly, stroking the sword without looking up.
Hawley also leaned over, he observed the pattern on the sword, as if looking at a mountain of gold, "Hey man, you guys are amazing, the sword of Methuselah, the sword of the ancestors, this is the real sword of Methuselah, where did you find it?" ”
"With this sword, we can kill Moloch?" Jennifer clenched her sword tightly and asked in a cold voice.
"If the record is correct." Icabold nodded, "Yes, indeed. ”
"This sword can kill any living creature on earth, not even a demon can escape." Hawley also said that the antique dealer's professional knowledge gave him a deep understanding of this religious weapon, including its properties.
But at this moment, a faint voice came from the side, "You can indeed kill any living thing, if you are willing to pay the price." ”
"What do you mean?" Jennifer frowned, looking up at the strange wizard for the first time.
"It means that every time this sword harvests a soul, it needs the soul of the sword bearer as a price, and they will never lose money when they do business with demons."
"Ancestors are not demons." Despite saying this, Jennifer still looked at Holly as if she was verifying, and besides Mills, she trusted Holly the most.
It is true that the Ancestor is not a demon, but he is not a human either, Yi Huan shook his head.
Hawley's expression was not quite sure, and he pondered, "Probably...... It seems like...... Recorded above...... Yes, there is such a saying. ”
Ikabard had rushed to the pile of books on the table and flipped through them, and soon he found a record of the sword of Methuselah, "God wrote his name on this sword of Methuselah, and with this sword the soul was burned with fire." He read word by word.
"He's right." After reading it, Icabold stared blankly at the book, "We need to sacrifice our souls. ”
The others were silent, the sword of Methuselah was their last hope, and the decisive battle was imminent, but now they knew that to win the war, one man would need to die.
There was silence in the room, as if a time turbulence had hit it and stopped time.
Ikabird shook his head vigorously, he didn't like the atmosphere, it reminded him of his comrades who died in the fire, he decided to sacrifice himself, he was a man who should have died a long time ago anyway.
Just as he was about to speak, Yi Huan's faint voice appeared in the room again, "Maybe you don't need to be so distressed. ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention, and under the gaze of several people, Yi Huan showed a smile.
"If no one uses this sword, maybe you can give it to me, don't get me wrong, I don't want to sacrifice myself, but I think I'm a good fit for this sword because I ...... There is no soul. (To be continued......)
