Although the two moons tonight are not full moons, they can still illuminate the dark grove. In fact, the professor and Jenkins don't need moonlight either. After all, the light at the entrance of the Paradise is comparable to that of a high-power gas lamp.
"It's more than seven o'clock now. I guess we rushed to the church after the party. It should be around eleven o'clock. I don't think there should be any unlucky people who stray into this place during this time, so it should be fine to ignore it for the time being. However, we should find a better reason to explain why we are here so late."
This is the professor's suggestion on how to deal with the entrance of this strange place. Like Jenkins, he doesn't want to immediately give up the party and return to the city.
The entrance to the strange world itself is a powerful source of spiritual pollution, and this characteristic led to the end of the apartment where the bill was collected was almost completely destroyed. But the professor and Jenkins are extremely determined people, and it is impossible to attract them to take the initiative to go in.
Even though the two of them were so close to the entrance emitting bright white light, they didn't have the urge to enter. Jenkins' soul and spirit are extremely powerful, and the professor has gained enough enlightenment in his dreams.
While the two were talking, there were footsteps in the woods behind them. They turned around and saw a fat man with a beard walking towards them with eyes staring.
He was wearing a chef-like white uniform, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark forest. Before Jenkins and the professor could ask questions, he took the initiative to speak:
"Have you seen my friend?"
That is to say, among the hunter and the hunted just now, one of them should know him. And according to the composition of that strange magic light spot, he should be the companion of the pursuer.
"We have just arrived here, maybe your companion has strayed into a strange place."
The professor pointed to the white light door behind him, and the white light reflected the robes of Jenkins and the professor almost white.
"It's a possibility, thank you very much... But I'm sorry, now that you have seen my face..."
I thought he was a polite person at first, but I didn't expect to suddenly get angry while talking. When he uttered the first word, his body suddenly grew taller and larger. When he uttered the word "possible", he had already turned into a giant of nearly 20 feet (about 6.09m).
He lunged at Jenkins and the professor, very fast. Although both of them were preparing to start a fight, they couldn't dodge hastily and had to fight hard.
Both Jenkins and the professor are very powerful. Even if the fat man dressed as a chef turns into a giant, he may not be able to compete with either of them alone in terms of strength. But Fatty's intention was not to suppress the two of them in terms of strength at all. He slammed into them like a cannonball, and then the professor and Jenkins fell into a strange situation like bottles knocked down by a bowling ball.
Even if they are not inferior in strength, not many people can maintain their balance under such an impact.
"When I go out, that fat man will die!"
The gap between reality and the strange world is filled with grotesque color blocks, and when he fell into the strange world, the hatred for the fat man just now was the first thought of Jenkins who was still in a dizzy state. He tried his best to get up while holding onto the tiled ground, and then realized that the current clean and tidy environment was very different from those old and dilapidated places in the past.
Still confused in my heart, I suddenly heard a strange voice behind me. When he turned his head, he happened to see two strange men fighting together. The dagger in the squatting man's hand pointed upwards, and pierced the abdomen of the man who rushed over. The tip of the cane in the man's hand that rushed over directly pierced into the chest of the squatting man.
"you… "
They made such a sound at the same time, and the person who was stabbed in the chest by the cane was killed instantly, while the person who was pierced through the abdomen fell on the ground and was crushed by another person's corpse. Blood flowed out from the wound, and the amount of bleeding was so large that one wondered if there was a curse of "hemorrhage" attached to the dagger.
Jenkins wanted to treat him, but he didn't dare to act rashly considering the special rules of Paradise.
The man raised his head with difficulty, and saw the professor who was still a little far away, the young man who was close up, and his cat with wide-eyed eyes. His trembling hands reached into the pocket hanging on his waist, and put a The filthy glass bottle full of cloudy ** reached Jenkins hard.
"Trust no one, don't let anyone know it's in you. It's desire, it's power, it's bridge, it's…"
He swallowed his last breath before he finished speaking, and Jenkins froze for a moment, then quickly picked up the glass bottle before the chocolate escaped from his robe.
The bottle, less than the size of a palm, was filled with cloudy grayish-yellow liquid, and it was possible to see a tapeworm-like blood swimming in it. But the most eye-catching thing is the dark thing in it. It's hard to describe what it is.
It floats in the body in a spiral shape, it doesn't seem to be solid, and the sections at both ends are not even. The dense pimples that can hardly be observed by the naked eye are distributed on the surface of the black belt, and what can be observed by the naked eye are small pits the size of a fingernail that are evenly distributed.
"Umbilical cord?"
Slight nausea and dizziness aggravated the headache of Jenkins who had not yet recovered from the space transfer. He had never seen an umbilical cord, and now subconsciously thought it was an umbilical cord, which was really strange. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that "instinct" is telling him what it is, just like "omniscient" in a deified state.
Seeing that the professor who fell to the distance was about to recover, Jenkins hesitated and stuffed the small bottle into his robe. He didn't know what it was for the time being, but the bright golden, white and black aura showed that there was definitely something wrong with this thing.
The dead man's reminder might be of some value, and Jenkins decided to study the umbilical cord alone first. It wasn't a decision made by greed or arrogance, and Jenkins believed that if it was a danger to him, it was a greater danger to others.
More importantly, he thought it was the umbilical cord at a glance, which showed that this thing directly affected Jenkins' god essence. In this way, Jenkins is more sure that this umbilical cord is not trivial. Maybe he will hand it over to the church in the future, but at least not today.
The professor recovered quickly. He noticed the two corpses here, and Jenkins also whispered what happened. Although it was a pity that he lost two teammates just after entering the strange world, the two who died were strangers, so Jenkins and the professor didn't care much.
After a simple search of the corpses, it turned out that the tattoos of the cult organization [Whip of the Dead] were found on both of them, and there was nothing else on their bodies, so they were even less worthy of sympathy.
