"Help him? No, I don't want to help him. On the contrary, this monster with a cat face is really insulting the cat. What I want now is to kill it."
Jenkins straightened up from behind the counter and said sarcastically.
The one who appeared at the entrance of the antique shop was the bestower with a lot of magical powers, and he presumably was the initiator of this strange incident.
"Kill it? Oh, young people nowadays are always so arrogant. You don't know what it is, do you? I know you are wary of me. To you, I am just a suspicious person, but you don't Knowing that I'm doing something great—I'm saving the world."
"oh?"
"The illusion you saw was all arranged by me. As for finding you, it was because of the umbilical cord you carried on your body. I think you still don't know what it is, so I arranged this trial to let you You feel the strength of that umbilical cord."
"Yes, it is indeed very powerful."
Jenkins chimed in, but he knew the stranger wasn't telling the truth when he walked through the door.
"The complete umbilical cord is divided into four parts. When the four parts of the umbilical cord gather together, a powerful and strange evil thing from outer space will come and bring disasters like the end of the material world. In order to save this world, I am determined to collect four umbilical cords and bring them to the seal of Silver Moon Lake blessed by the moonlight."
The stranger held out his hand to Jenkins, beckoning Jenkins to give him something. But Jenkins didn't move. He looked at the man with a cold face. Only the sentence "the complete umbilical cord was divided into four" in his words did not trigger the reminder of the priesthood of lies.
"If I don't give it to you, you will use this illusion to kill me, right?"
After a long silence, Jenkins asked in a low voice.
"In order to maintain peace in the material world, sacrifices are always required, are you right?"
The stranger asked with a smile, he snapped his fingers, and the meat blanket attached to the wall immediately wriggled.
"When I came to you tonight, I encountered an interesting thing. The power of the umbilical cord I possess allowed me to temporarily control it. The content of the current illusion is the book you read and your memories. Combination of the most horrific scenes in the movie. You can't beat me in this environment."
"It turns out that it is really a part of that weird thing, my luck is really bad..."
Jenkins complained in his heart, then looked at the counter behind him:
"Do you really know what that umbilical cord is? Do you really trust a power that doesn't belong to you?"
"Although the umbilical cord of the Son of God is not the Son of God of our Lord, it is God's gift to find it."
The stranger gave the answer easily, and then continued:
"The people who gave birth to the Son of God failed, and the Orthodox Church punished them. But [Whip of the Dead] is an organization blessed by the gods, and our Lord is so omnipotent that we have obtained the umbilical cord when the Son of God was born. If there were no traitors, If it weren't for that horrible thing, the project should have started smoothly by now. But that's okay, we can find where the three stolen umbilical cords are hidden, and voila, you were found. I didn't tell anyone about it. Just take the umbilical cord back from your hand and I can... Now, bring me the umbilical cord!"
This passage is true, and his act of declaring his identity also made Jenkins think of another thing:
"The umbilical cord is going to be used in the [Alien Frenzy] ceremony? What exactly are you going to do?"
For a moment, a flustered look appeared on the other party's face. Before he could say any threatening words, Jenkins continued to ask:
"If you really have the confidence to kill me, why are you talking so much to me here? The power to control the monster should have completely taken up the power of the umbilical cord in your hand, and you shouldn't be too powerful. "
Having said this, Jenkins held out a hand/signed to him:
"Hand over the umbilical cord in your hand, and I can spare your life."
The sound of breaking through the air sounded from behind, and Jenkins immediately lowered his head and rolled to the side. I saw a meat ball made of meat blankets gathered on the wall behind him at some point, and a human figure was looming in the meat ball.
"I will take what I want from you after you die, and enjoy it."
The stranger tipped his hat to Jenkins, then turned and opened the door to leave the antique shop.
Jenkins didn't have time to pay attention to him now, he felt that something in the meat ball was not trivial. The entire antique shop was shaking, and the fleshy mass seemed to be giving birth to a human figure inside.
Some red disgusting tentacles grew on the surface of the meat ball, and then flew towards Jenkins densely. Jenkins held back his nausea and grabbed one of them, and then jumped towards the meatball with a low grunt.
With only his own strength and physical fitness, he directly knocked away those tentacles. His left hand was chilling, and his right hand was burning with flames. The umbilical cord in the breast was dug out.
It's not the piece in Jenkins' pocket, it's clearly another piece. While everything around is an illusion, this segment is clearly real.
After the umbilical cord was dug out, the illusion immediately collapsed, and Jenkins still kept pushing the door open to chase after Captain Bincy.
His eyes flicked around to confirm that this was the real world, and then he looked at the sticky black thing sticking out of his hand.
"It's not too difficult."
With this in mind, he took out the cat on his chest with one hand and put it on the ground, then walked back to the store to find an empty bottle and put the new umbilical cord in it:
"Help me look at the store for a while, and I'll be right back."
He made a request to the cat following behind him, pushed open the door and walked out before the cat objected, and this time he finally made it to the street.
The night in the city is obviously not peaceful. Although no one can be seen standing on the street, noise and noise can be vaguely heard in the distance.
Jenkins glanced at the book that was spontaneously igniting in the store through the window, then walked into the alley with his hands in his pockets. When it reappeared, it had changed into another appearance.
He climbed up to the small three-story building opposite Papa's antique shop, leaning on the lightning rod on the pointed roof, and looked at the city from a very high altitude. In the dark night, Jenkins' unusual eyes seemed to be radiating light, and he quickly found his goal.
He jumped directly from the roof, and after a beautiful landing, he silently walked towards the direction where Captain Bincy left.
Instead of leaving 5th Queen's Road, it kept chasing forward. Ten minutes later, they saw a group of people blocking the road ahead. This was Captain Bincy and the night watchmen, and their opponents were a group of strange-looking humanoid creatures.
