Lord of the Mysteries v7c15 - Sogou MTL

Belden city, in a bar.

Roy, byers, Phil and Pasha sat around a small round table, swigging South Wales beer.

They didn't talk much and listened with a little smile to the drunkards at the next table discussing extraordinary power and occult events.

"Before, Hiccup, I saw those Forsak people in Berdan not only look like bears, but also can drive the flames and make them throw out like javelins!"

"No ... really have extraordinary power?"

"Ha ha, that is you have no knowledge, one day I was drunk, sleeping near the cemetery, saw the night church with a few ghosts, oh, ghosts! They float in the air, very scary!"

...

Drunkards said I don't know whether it was their own personal experience or what they heard from tossing and turning. Their mouths were foaming and their faces were red.

"That's how they are. They are excited only after drinking. They always like to brag. They are depressed at ordinary times." Byers, a local resident of Berdan, explained a few words, "Since the coal resources began to dry up and the young people gradually left Berdan for Conston and Backlander, the atmosphere here has become more and more depressing and the city has become more and more gray. "

This man, who was less than 30 years old, was also a miner when he was young, but luckily he didn't die in the mine, so his skin became very black.

His exposed muscles are not too exaggerated, but give people a feeling of steel casting.

As the leader of several people, Roy smiled to say with smile:

"What they said may be true, not bragging. The previous war did expose extraordinary power to many people, especially the soldiers directly involved, as long as they were alive, they had corresponding experiences.

"Moreover, it also brings many opportunities, making some people who had no chance to contact with extraordinary power and true mystery become extraordinary."

His way of expression is very subtle, as if he were talking about other people's affairs, but in fact, this is the experience of the four of them.

Byers and Roy were soldiers who took part in the Battle of Belden. Phil was once looted by the Forsaken, but fortunately he did not die. Pasha and her former fellow citizens lured and ambushed several Intis soldiers in street battles.

They all witnessed the death of many friends and gained extraordinary strength for various reasons.

Then, due to the chaos brought about by the war, they were either separated from the troops or voluntarily avoided being known by the official forces. Gradually, they got to know each other and became friends with each other in the state of keeping warm.

This time, they came to Berdan, byers's hometown, to look for relatives and friends the other party might have survived.

"The reality of this world is far beyond our imagination." Pasha, who has long dark gold hair and dark blue eyes, said with emotion.

She is only in her twenties and has good facial features, but there is no extra flesh on her face, so that her bones are clearly outlined and look much older than her actual age.

"In the future, we will have different lives." Roy, whose hairline has typical Lune characteristics, raised his glass and said, "Cheers to a brand new future ..."

His voice did not fall, suddenly someone screamed in the bar hall.

Roy and others all have certain experience and are busy raising their vigilance and turning their eyes to the past.

They saw a young man in ordinary clothes fall to the ground and roll back and forth, which seemed extremely painful.

Under the dim gas wall lamp, everyone found that behind the young man's back, his clothes were bursting, revealing traces of red blood, which seemed to have been whipped by a whip.

However, none of the people around him was holding a whip, and the victim just screamed, unless he was whipped countless times at that moment.

But in this way, how can no one notice?

"... he has a wallet in his hand ... is it related to the abnormality just now?" After glancing at it for a few times, Phil, who was thin, considered and said, "May I have a look at it? "

Roy wanted to think, gently and said:

"Be careful."

Phil "hmm" a cry, out of the small round table area, with the help of the crowd of onlookers, close to the young man who no longer roll, just hum in a low voice.

He quietly held out his left hand, aiming at the leather wallet that looked ordinary.

"ah!"

Phil screamed suddenly and looked at his left hand with his wrist broken and landed on the ground.

At the break, blood poured out and spattered on the faces and bodies of the people around.

The scene froze. Drunken drinkers first froze, then swallowed saliva, then turned around and ran frantically to the door and corner.

"It's weird ... nobody attacked me!" Phil nearly fainted from the pain, but he managed to tell Roy, byers and Pasha his "experience".

Roy eyes light a clot, decisive said:

"Let's get out of here first!"

He immediately side head, to byers way:

"You pick up Phil's hand and keep it. I remember that Weber, a former military doctor who was also from Berdan, came back here after his discharge and opened a private clinic. He can effectively treat this kind of trauma."

The military doctor named Weber is also an extraordinary person. When he took part in the Southern War, he was promoted step by step and had a medical skill beyond reality. It is said that he could suture severed limbs to make them as flexible as before .

"good." Byers replied without hesitation.

He grabbed the first few steps, took out a wooden box, picked up Phil's broken hand and put it in.

At the same time, Pasha initially stopped the bleeding of Phil's wound by using the magic ointment she bought before, and made some bandages.

Then, a line of four people left the bar.

After many inquiries, they finally found Weber's clinic with the help of passers-by.

The clinic has not closed yet, and the lights of the gas and street lamps inside spread out, spilling a piece of yellow.

Roy pulled the doorbell politely and heard the sound of tinkling in it.

However, several minutes passed and no one came to greet them.

"Drunk?" Pasha looked at Phil, who was suffering from severe eye pain, and made a confused guess.

Roy shook his head.

"I remember Weber was not a heavy drinker, he had no other bad habits except being romantic, maybe he was ..."

While speaking, the man of medium height, with many traces of wind and frost on his face, tried to push the door and found that it was not locked but left unlocked.

With the door open, Roy, byers and others saw two figures.

The two figures hung in the center of the clinic, swaying slightly due to the wind blowing outside.

The one was a man in his 30s wearing a white coat, and the other was a young woman in a nurse's uniform. Their lower bodies were naked, their eyes were bulging, their mouths were half open, their tongues were squeezed out, and they were hanged from the ceiling by invisible ropes. Their expressions were both fear and despair, and they were full of bewilderment.

"Weber ..." Roy recognized the hanged man.

He and Pasha, Phil and byers felt a chill behind them at the same time. I don't know why such a thing happened, and I don't know what kind of terror such an unknown would bring.

Bang!

The sound of the chair falling to the ground came from the side, waking Roy and others who were a little stunned.

They looked inside and saw a woman with a baby in her arms standing up in panic. They whispered in horror and confusion.

"They are cheating ..."

What is the necessary connection between this and what happened to them? Roy took a deep breath, feeling that it was not appropriate to stay here long.

He is busy ordered:

"Go!"

He didn't ask Pasha to appease the woman, nor did he try to get the clinic's disinfectant and bandages.

Byers and others swallowed saliva with difficulty, turned quickly and left the clinic with great caution.

For Phil, the unknown terror completely overwhelmed the pain in his left hand.

"What exactly happened?" After turning into another street, Phil's face twitched and asked.

"How do I know?" Byers blurted out, feeling a little out of control.

Roy took one look around, vomit a sigh a way:

"Calm down.

"This should be a terrible and extraordinary thing beyond our imagination."

"Yes, all this is too weird. It is only for this reason." Pasha agreed with nods.

"What should we do then?" Phil asked confusedly.

Roy wanted to think:

"Try to leave Berdan.

"Also, analyze what happened before and summarize the laws contained in it.

"None of us can guarantee that we will not encounter that kind of abnormality again. Only by mastering the rules can we ensure our own safety."

"Yes." Byers calmed down and agreed with Roy.

As they walked and discussed, they gradually came up with some ideas.

"Weber cheated before he was hanged and Phil tried to take the wallet before his hand was cut off. This was a kind of theft ..." Pasha summed up the similarities between the two things.

... Roy once had inspiration:

"Is it because they have done something illegal that they have encountered this kind of situation?"

"How is it possible?" Byers and Phil replied in unison.

The words sound just fell, they suddenly had the corresponding speculation, expression gradually solemnly.

"Perhaps, there is an invisible law enforcer, this is the essence of this extraordinary event ..." byers said thoughtfully.

Roy "well" a track:

"This may be very big.

"Next, we will pay attention to our behavior."

Pasha and others nodded and walked along the street towards the city with increasing vigilance.

Before long, they arrived at the city square and saw many people standing around the bulletin board at night.

"Notice?" Roy and others looked at each other, suspecting that it was an official reminder of this extraordinary event.

Therefore, they drew close to the past and looked at the bulletin board with the help of the light of the gas street lamp.

There is a piece of white paper in the middle and a piece of yellow paper under the white paper, which seems to be making supplementary explanation.

In the process of browsing the announcement quickly, Roy, Pasha and others' eyes gradually became horrified and seemed to understand the root of the matter.

After reading the white paper, their eyes fell on the yellow paper:

"All citizens are invited to arrest foreigners together. All means are available."

Catching strangers ... Roy and others felt a pinch and instinctively looked at the citizens around the notice board.

Seems to be aware of their gaze, the citizens brush to turn around, at the same time looking at them.

Under the dim light of the gas street lamp, the eyes seemed to shine with strange brilliance.
