The black goat cub was slapped so hard that it rolled and flew several meters away, and did not stop until it hit a big tree that was so thick that two people could hug it. The mother goddess was furious, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only hide helplessly behind the tree trunk, trying to express her unspeakable bitter grievances.
The tentacle didn't stop there, it slapped in another direction along its strength, and yanked towards Nyarlathotep who was watching the play with great relish. But the latter seemed to have expected such a move a long time ago, and casually turned to one side to avoid it.
"Oh," he said briskly, "Shabu's got a bit of a temper."
... It's a good thing he can speak! !
It would not be easy for any evil god to make such a big embarrassment. Lin You bet that if he got stuck, he would be furious. But I can't wait for the matter to not fall on him. Naia cheated his own people one by one, and the tricks were refreshing and refined, making people start to think about whether he will be accounted for when he returns one day in the future.
Forget it, she doesn't need to worry about it anyway.
Before he poked out a bigger basket, the last tentacle of the black goat of the forest also stayed to the limit.
No matter how much you wish to hang up these culprits, you have to compromise temporarily. The moment the sticky black whip disappeared into the air, the invisible crack slowly closed, and everything returned to calm.
Most believers still can't believe it all with their mouths open. They didn't care that their hoods fell down in the confusion, revealing their entire faces.
-strangeness.
Lin You looked at these people suspiciously through the bushes.
Among the cult members, men make up the vast majority. The first ones to scream were female believers, but there were only three or two female relatives. It stands to reason that part of the symbol of Shabu Nicholas is reproduction, so it has the title of "breeding thousands of descendants". There should also be quite a few female admirers. For example, the former proprietress Mrs. Langton once worshiped her out of this motive.
The number of men and women of these believers is poor, and people can't help but speculate that there are other inside stories.
But just as the Black Goat Goddess gave before leaving, they also noticed a few people standing behind the bushes and trees. The Shantak bird was still hovering overhead and neighing. It was not difficult to imagine who was behind the scenes. Seeing that the only backer that could be counted on could not answer their call again, someone yelled in horror, turned around and went into the woods .
One after another, the believers who still wanted to save their lives turned back to glance at the movement here in fear, and fled hurriedly into the darkness away from the fire.
"Want to chase?" Naia turned around and asked politely.
"It doesn't matter," Lin You said, "Anyway, it's just me."
Looking at the escaping posture, she would know that none of them can be relied on. She originally had some expectations for the man who had just led them to calm down, but he ran faster than anyone else when he saw that he had no support at all. Even if you want to ask, you can't find anything, and it's a waste of time to catch it.
The one that really needs attention now is the one still hugging the tree.
Nyarlathotep just asked one more question politely. He did things based on his own interests, and he didn't really want to chase after him at all. At this moment, he yawned lazily, then leaned against the tree next to him, and continued to eat melons and watch the show.
The black goat cub didn't know how to sum up his miserable life.
In the past few years, I have been trapped in the attic, trying to make ends meet, unable to stretch out my tentacles and hooves, and finally I am about to get things done, and I burned it out with a fire. It's even better now, it's only been a good half a month, but the organized god-inviting ceremony has been messed up, and it itself has been blamed by the mother god.
In the future, not to mention acting as the agent of the mother, as long as the ceremony is there, the mother god may not even show her face. This is really—really—
The tree had already been knocked trembling, but at this time it made a "creaking" sound under its tangled and repeated winding. Looking up again, seeing the person approaching, the black goat cub had no eyes and would stare out its eyeballs.
"Nowhere else to go?" Lin You asked with a smile.
Black goat cub: "..."
As long as it meets this woman, nothing good will happen to it!
The stubby hooves rubbed against the grass, and the young black goat slowly stood up. Several mouths on the sticky body like a lump opened and closed angrily at the same time, and the dripping brown-green liquid pooled at the feet. It danced several tentacles at the same time, growling like a threat, wishing to kill her first and then quickly.
"Think about it," she said, "it's different from last time."
It hasn't been long since everyone played this game last time, and the development of abilities is still in the early stages. There is no way to be chased by a guy who was still a BOSS level at that time and had to run for his life.
And this time—
Behind her, the Shantak, which had played it round and round, and the Dreadhunter fell in unison, drinking blood on the edge of the shattered altar. And Nyarlathotep, who was leaning against the tree trunk, smiled brightly when the black goat cub looked around, and waved at it friendly.
Black goat cub: "..."
How amazing are people? !
At that moment, even though he couldn't understand the language, Lin You actually saw through the thoughts it held in his heart. In the exclamation of the skull shaking her head, she slowly drew out a card, indicating that she could add more cards.
Sorry, Kado can really do whatever he wants.
"Anyway, you can figure it out yourself?"
So miserable.
Geng Qinghe thought.
It's so miserable.
Thinking about it carefully, when he first played this game, he was able to follow his heart. He didn't even think that he would have a day to complain about ghosts. But now, this kind of emotion that is close to sympathy is appearing more and more frequently.
Life is really amazing.
... Or rather, it's all thanks to the boss.
"Would it be a little tricky if you carded more at that time, Sister You," he said belatedly, "I missed an SSR, thinking about it, it's a bit of a loss."
Lin You burst out laughing.
This kid can do it now.
"I'm not going to do anything."
she said.
"It doesn't take much effort to talk about it, and it won't be used if you collect it."
What these outer gods need is belief and worship, and the two sides cannot communicate at all, let alone listen to what she tells them to do. Nyarlathotep is the only one who can communicate with humans, and it is largely because of his personality that is completely different from other evil gods that he can act together. If so, he is only willing to extend a little thumb to help when he is in the mood, and if he is not interested in other times, there is no need to count on it.
anyway—
Lin You looked at the card in his hand.
This is enough, and it can be considered a bit of a pity that she only took two cards in this dungeon last time.
[Name: Black Goat Cub]
[Card number: 010]
[Level: SR]
[Remarks: "The Black Goat of the Forest" - the heir of Shabu Nicholas, acts as her agent, accepting the sacrifice and worship dedicated to her. But recently, due to an accident, he suffered a cold war, and after losing his status as an envoy, he couldn't even get a living among believers. Please note that it avoids scenes such as religious sacrifices, otherwise it will evoke sad memories. If it doesn't obey, scaring it with Nyarlathotep's name might work well.]
What kind of demon guide is this.
Thinking of this, Lin You carefully wrote down the above advice verbatim, and put the cards into the illustrated book.
"That… "
Geng Qinghe hesitated, "What should we do next?"
this...
Just as Lin You was about to speak, she was interrupted by the sudden ringtone of her mobile phone.
Gu Heng was also startled, he pressed the phone.
"It's nothing, it seems to be some previous client." He said as if he remembered something, "If not, you can try to continue the investigation."
"For example, so much blood will definitely not be obtained by sending people to guard the cave in turn."
Gu Heng said.
"If you use the contacts left by that firm, you may be able to find some clues, and then follow this to see if you can track down more."
This is also an idea.
Lin You thought for a while.
"Just do it," she said.
"Are you not going to need me anymore?" Someone immediately asked, "Can I go?"
Langton watched from the beginning to the end until now, it was a moment of fear, and he deeply felt that he was very lucky in his original fate, and wished not to have anything to do with them.
Lin You said "ah": "You can leave if you want."
He knows all the skulls he knows, even if he can't beat a water ghost, so there's no need to accept it—
"..." She looked at the man who ran away.
Looking at this scene, Lin You couldn't help thinking about that eternal question.
—Is she that scary
Regardless of whether Langton consciously escaped a chance, Lin You went straight into the back seat of the car. They didn't know how many times they went back and forth on the road this day and night, so it can be said that they are familiar with the road. In order to avoid trouble, Gu Heng also deliberately bypassed Victor's house. But even so, it doesn't mean that troubles won't come to them by themselves.
Geng Qinghe was the first to take a breath when he could see the familiar small building in the distance.
Two police cars were parked downstairs, and a few guys in police uniforms were standing by the car, talking and looking up and around. Obviously, they were just waiting for the person to come back.
Someone needs to inquire about the first-hand information, Lin You thought, so as to know what situation they are in now.
Gu Heng definitely can't, the police must recognize him as the person in charge of this firm.
"I'll go." Lin You said.
Geng Qinghe: "Or I—"
"Even if something happens," Lin You waved his hand, "I must have more ways to escape."
Knowing that she has made a decision and cannot be shaken, so even if it is a deal, Geng Qinghe has no choice but to stop arguing.
Fortunately, it was discovered early. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the police, the car was parked a considerable distance from the building of the office. There were not many pedestrians on the street, Lin You glanced left and right, and blended in as if nothing happened. She also wondered if she could grab a passer-by first and ask what was going on.
But just as he was passing through an alley, Lin You felt a sudden tightness in his arms. There was a force that directly dragged her into the alley where she couldn't see her fingers, as if she was afraid of her making a noise or overreacting, he gently poked her. Lin You turned around.
The man put his index finger to his lips.
"shh-"
It is concise and good.
