Tianyang tried his best to extend his thinking ability, and through the black fog, he was able to detect the movements of the black people in advance, so as to choose the correct route in the complex maze of the town.
If he was alone, no matter how many people there were, it would be useless. He didn't need to activate his alien form, and his normal speed was more than enough to get rid of them.
Now when it comes to bringing people to church, the situation is completely different.
Not even one-third of the speed, such running was basically no different from taking a walk for Tianyang. But for ordinary warriors who protected the religion, especially priests like Mu Qing, it greatly consumed their physical energy.
Mu Qing was better off, with Tianyang holding her hand and getting some help from the boy. The warriors who protected the religion did not have such preferential treatment. They also received training on weekdays, but tonight, their exercise volume had already exceeded the usual training volume.
While passing through an alley, a warrior tripped over a corpse lying in the corner and fell to the ground.
Tianyang had to stop.
As his colleagues helped him to get up, the sharp sound of metal scraping was heard without warning in the alley which was still quiet for the time being.
Tianyang quickly identified the source of the sound and saw that the back door of a building in the alley was opening.
Jinfeng pointed forward, star energy appeared on Tianyang's body, and just as he was about to make a move, he saw a familiar figure behind the opened door.
"Tianyang?"
"team leader!"
There stood a man behind the door, it was Han Shu. Behind Han Shu was an empty hall, Tian Yang could even see the huge black iron high-back chair in the distance.
How is this going
The captain accidentally found the door connecting to the drifting town
While Tianyang was thinking, lights began to appear behind the alley and the wild roar of the mob could be heard.
Han Shu said anxiously: "Come in quickly, what are you still standing there for?"
Tianyang asked solemnly: "Captain, where are Xun and the others?"
Han Shu shook his head: "I separated from them."
Tianyang asked again: "Has Captain Lida also gotten separated?"
Han Shu waved and said, "We've gotten separated. I'm alone now. Come in quickly!"
“That’s… great.”
Several warriors came and were overjoyed to see such a door. The warrior who had just fallen ran to Han Shu in a hurry. Tian Yang was quick to catch him: "Wait, I..."
Although he caught one, another warrior rushed through the door and entered the hall.
The warrior turned around and shouted happily, "It's really the hall. We are back. Come on, come in too. What are you still standing there for?"
Am I overthinking it
Tianyang frowned slightly, and the warrior beside him had already impatiently shaken off his hand and approached the door with another colleague.
At this moment, the warrior inside the door seemed to realize something was wrong and looked around quickly.
"what happened?"
“No…something’s wrong!”
"The hall is disappearing... I saw something, oh my god, it's Yama! Yama is everywhere!"
"This is the devil's nest!"
The warriors ran towards the door, and suddenly, the scene behind Han Shu fell into darkness, like a stage with the lights turned off. This change made the two warriors who had already reached the door stop.
But arms stretched out from the door, with teeth, bulging eyes, and grinning mouths. Some were gray, some were green, some were covered with blue lines, and some were rotten.
One by one, I can't
The strange arms grabbed the two warriors and pulled them towards the door.
Han Shu behind the door was smiling. His smile was eerie and strange, totally different from the captain's usual expression.
The stars flickered, and a flash of sword light cut off many arms, causing two warriors to fall to the ground with a thud.
“Stand back!”
Tianyang shouted.
The two warriors tumbled and crawled back to Mu Qing.
Tianyang pointed his sword at the captain, or rather the thing disguised as the captain: "What are you?"
The captain's figure blurred, without answering, and disappeared into the darkness.
The various arms that stretched out from the door quickly retracted, and some of them still grabbed the door handle, slamming the door shut.
The alley returned to normal.
Tianyang opened the door again, and inside was a ruin. Rubble was piled up like a mountain, and broken pieces of furniture were scattered all over the ground. Several broken dolls were lying on the ground with empty eyes.
There was the roar of the mob.
Tianyang had no choice but to step back. Just as he was about to take back the star energy, his heart moved slightly, and he reached out to Mu Qing with his hand that was shining with silver light.
"Let's go, priest."
The silver glow illuminated the priest's helmet, and the star-like figure of the young man was reflected on the visor of the helmet. Mu Qing raised her hand and held Tianyang's hand.
"Walk!"
... ...
On the street not far away, the mob roared past, and the light of burning torches illuminated the street and also illuminated the window in front of Tianyang.
He lowered the curtain that was covered with thick dust, causing a cloud of dust to fall. Tianyang stepped back and faced the hall.
The gathering black fog enveloped the building, and it seemed to have temporarily hidden it from the eyes and ears of the mob. The building they were hiding in was relatively well preserved. Take the hall for example, there were no gaps or cracks found in the wooden floor, but there were a few cuts on the wall. The wall was still solid, except that most of the wallpaper had fallen off, revealing the wall covered with mold.
The church people are taking a rest.
Just now, Tianyang used the star energy to test Mu Qing, and there was nothing abnormal about her. So it seemed that she had not been possessed.
Then the biggest suspects were the two warriors. Tianyang's eyes wandered over them, wondering which of them could be the "skin"
"Lieutenant, what's going on?"
Mu Qing came to Tianyang's side and looked towards the window. Even through the curtains, she could still see the faint firelight on the street. The tension of the danger around made it impossible to completely relax.
Tianyang also looked towards the window: "It's safe for now, but we have to leave as soon as possible."
"But where is safe in this town?" Mu Qing didn't expect the boy to be able to answer this question, so after she finished speaking, she sighed softly.
"ah-"
"You, what's wrong with you!"
In the corner of the hall, two warriors who were resting jumped up as if they had discovered something incredible. They even pointed their star rifles and flame rifles at each other.
Tianyang and Mu Qing turned around and quickly exchanged glances, both of them were surprised.
"You're a monster!"
The warrior on the left pointed at his colleague on the opposite side and said, "So you are the 'skin'!"
"nonsense!"
The warrior on the right looked at Tianyang and the other man and said, "Lieutenant, priest. You saw it, he is possessed and is turning into a monster just like Pastor Chen!"
When he said that, Tianyang recalled the situation of Pastor Chen at that time. His body expanded, his muscles grew, and his body mutated.
However...
There was nothing unusual about the two people in the hall.
It is the original appearance.
"Calm down," Mu Qing shouted, "Put down your guns first."
"Priest, believe me, he has turned into a monster, can't you see it?" the warrior on the left shouted.
The warrior on the other side yelled, "You are the monster, look at yourself!"
The tense atmosphere made neither of them want to put down their guns.
Suddenly something exploded in the street, with a loud noise that drowned out the conversation between the two warriors. Then, for some unknown reason, both men opened fire at each other at the same time.
Beams of star element penetrated the body of the warrior on the opposite side, and that warrior also fired flames, burning his colleague into a fireball.
"No!"
After the explosion, Mu Qing's screams rang out in the hall.
Two warriors had already fallen in the hall, one of them was still burning. Tianyang could only go to the warrior who was hit by the beam and check his injuries.
Unfortunately, the beam hit his chest and it was too late to save him.
Behind him, Mu Qing was sobbing sadly. Tianyang sighed softly, but frowned.
If the skin was one of them, why did both of them have hallucinations at the same time and think that the other was possessed
While thinking, Tianyang felt his arm tighten. It turned out that the warriors of the religion had grabbed his hand. He panted in his helmet and said weakly, "The priest... There is something wrong with the priest."
"She told me to shoot, but the explosion was so loud that I couldn't hear it clearly..."
What
Mu Qing asked him to shoot
Tianyang's whole body tensed up, and at this moment, the black fog gave a warning...
A hand quietly reached out and touched Tianyang's neck, but when it was about to touch the boy, Tianyang suddenly appeared in front of her and met her eyes.
Mu Qing!
"Oh, almost, almost." The priestess sighed softly. It was still her voice and her appearance.
But what was inside that body was no longer Mu Qing's soul, but something else.
"Why... "
A faint glow of star essence floated in Tianyang's hand: "I have already touched you with star essence, why didn't anything abnormal happen?"
Mu Qing took off her helmet and shook her head, letting her hair fall like a waterfall. She threw away her helmet casually, her eyes became frivolous, charming, and full of mysterious temptation: "You actually know that Xing Yun will disgust me, it's not simple, it's not simple."
"Yes, the power of your Ascendants will burn my 'essence' like a flame. But if it is just a trace amount of star essence, then I can still endure it."
"With a little training, you can do it."
A small amount of star essence can be tolerated, so is it because the 'fire' is not big enough
Tianyang raised his lips, and a flash of light appeared in his vision. When he stopped, he saw Mu Qing's back.
The young man held the priest's hands, and the star essence appeared in his body. This time, he did not hold back, and the star essence grew stronger and burned fiercely. It was like a silver flame, filling the space around Tianyang and covering Mu Qing.
A sharp scream that was not something a human could make rang out: "Let me go!"
"It seems that the 'fire' this time is strong enough. How about it? If it tastes bad, then get out of the priest's body!"
Mu Qing laughed loudly, occasionally accompanied by a painful groan, but gritted her teeth and said: "Don't waste your energy, this woman has disappeared. She will never come back. Do you think you can resist me with the will of a mere human?"
"Her body is already mine!"
