Nangong rubbed the back of his head and sat up, and found himself lying on a small high ground, with the bare wasteland under his body and the sky that was slowly brightening above his head—the shocking scene in the underground palace seemed to have gone away like a dream. There was a convulsive pain in the back of his head, and the uncomfortable burning smell in the surrounding air made him frown uncontrollably, and subconsciously muttered: "Ahem, what's wrong with me?"
Hao Ren signaled Vivienne, Lily, and Y'zaks to stop talking, and then slapped Nangong on the shoulder: "Are you awake? Let's look up and see the big news."
"Hao Ren?" Nangong was surprised to see three acquaintances and a strange burly villain standing beside him, "Are you all right? Those evil spirits underground didn't hurt you? Hey, this friend next to him is... What the hell is going on? !"
Nangong finally saw the meteor crater that was emitting thick smoke in the far distance. The remaining stones around the crater and the nearby scenery can barely distinguish this is the castle of Yoofold, but it only passed overnight. , the centuries-old castle has only one big pit left, and a pool of magma that is slowly cooling down. No matter how much experience Nangong has in his life, he feels that his brain is not enough at this time. "You certainly don't believe what happened, but a meteorite fell from the sky just now and destroyed the entire castle." Hao Ren said with a sincere expression on his face, without blushing or panting.
Nangong listened in a daze, and suddenly touched the back of his head: "Wait, I remember that I was fighting evil spirits in the underground palace, and you stayed behind me, surrounded by groups of knight spirits... Then I felt a wave of pain on my head. I don’t remember anything when it hurts.”
Hao Ren tried his best to make his eyes look more sincere, and he still looked shocked: "Don't mention those unlucky things, I still have a cramp in my calf, it's a miracle that we can escape—last night When you were fighting bravely, the roof of the underground palace collapsed again, and you passed out on the spot. I was closing my eyes and preparing to die, but the tin cans around me were lying on the ground without moving, and then we It took a lot of work to get you... and this old man up there. We thought we'd hitchhike back after dawn, but this place was too scary, so we ran out as much as we could, which saved everyone's life : A meteorite fell from the sky ten minutes ago, and then it is what you saw."
From the beginning to the end, Hao Ren assumed that he was an ordinary person who didn't understand anything. He didn't try to explain why the undead armor in the underground palace would "lay on the ground and not move", nor why a meteorite fell from the sky with incomparable accuracy. He smashed the entire castle into a big hole, anyway, he just told a bunch of bizarre stories without any psychological burden, and let Nangong make up the rest. Hao Ren's psychology is very dirty: Anyway, I'm an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything, come and bite me~~
Sure enough, Nangong was confused when he heard this, but he didn't intend to ask Hao Ren in detail at all. He didn't seem to believe that the ordinary man in front of him and the two harmless girls next to him had any connection with this kind of incident. The "expert" explained with his own logic for a long time, and barely made a guess: "Perhaps those undead are controlled by something more core in the underground palace. This kind of situation is often seen in ruins with a history of hundreds of years... um , it must be so, I'm an expert."
Hao Ren, Vivian and the others secretly rolled their eyes at the same time: This one really has the face to say it.
Nangong stood up slowly at this time, and looked at the doomsday crater in the distance with regret. He knew that there must be countless secrets in the castle, which could explain why those undead suddenly fell down, and why he was killed by three people. An "ordinary person" was rescued, but now there is nothing left, not even an investigation.
Hao Ren gave Yzaks a grateful look. Meteor escape is indeed a panacea technique. Basically, if you drop a stone, as long as you don't cast the spell in front of ordinary people, you don't have to worry about what happens in the future. Well, no one on this planet believes that there is really a powerful person who can pull an asteroid from the Kuiper belt over to smash people for fun. The only people who are worried are the group of astrophysicists—and this half-baked guy in front of him Ghostbusters.
Not long after, the onlookers from the small town of Broussard finally arrived too late.
Several off-road vehicles were parked near the former site of Yofold Castle. The thick smoke and hot lava from the meteorite made it impossible for anyone to get close. In fact, the people in the town noticed the movement when Yzaks came. The sea of flames at that time was almost the same as the first "haunting incident" not long ago. The troublemakers in the town He and the supernatural lovers from other places packed up and came out of the town within a few minutes, but there was no road from the town's entrance to Yofold Castle. There were only rugged rocky beaches along the way, and even a few off-road vehicles could not It was going fast, so they basically only saw a small tail of the whole event: the moment when the meteorite fell from the sky.
Even those who are trying to die don't dare to rush forward against the power of the meteorite, so these people arrived at the scene after the shock wave and big explosion caused by the meteorite subsided. Now they are discussing around the old castle site that has disappeared One after another, some tweeted with their mobile phones, some took pictures with the crater, some held the supernatural sensor with a sad face, and some sat on the ground with foam at the mouth and convulsed, declaring that Lord Yoofold had something to say— The last one was really energetic, she didn't get tired after tossing until midnight last night, so she got up early to do it again this morning.
But the faces of most people are pure shock. These ordinary people do not have the reasoning ability of professionals. They just feel that such big events happen one after another next to such a small rural town... I should be able to brag to many people in the future .
After a night of tossing around, Hao Ren and the others were physically and mentally exhausted, even if they weren't physically tired, they were exhausted enough, so they took a ride back to the town, and Nangong walked with the Indian monk who hadn't fully woken up. Along the way, this half-baked witcher kept repeating one sentence: "Why is this? Why is this?"
If you want to think about it, all the evidence has been vaporized anyway, and it is impossible for Sherlock Holmes to attribute the cause to the demon that fell from the sky.
The group returned to the town in this way. Originally, they could go directly to London by car, but Vivienne made an idea to go to "Angus's Cabin" to check the situation and see how the tavern owner who has experienced a big incident is a No matter what the situation is, whether there is any trouble left behind, Hao Ren and Lily certainly have no objections, and Izaks has not said much from the beginning to the end. This big devil seems to have something on his mind. He opened his mouth, and he just nodded when others made an opinion.
But Hao Ren didn't care too much. After all, it was the first time they met, and they were far from familiar enough to ask him about everything.
The four of them quickly found the small hotel on the edge of the town. As expected, the owner of the hotel, Angus, did not greet the guests with a smile in front of the counter as usual.
"The boss was sent back from the outside in the early morning yesterday. He is in a bad mood. He seems to be sick. He is nowhere to be seen now."
The little girl in front of the cashier answered the customer's inquiries honestly.
After coming out of the hotel, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that we didn't gossip, and we don't know our identities."
Vivienne understood better. She had released a small bat while no one was paying attention, and found Angus lying on the bed staring blankly in a certain room. The fat boss seemed to be scared last night. It's not light, but it's just not light, and it will probably slow down after a few days. As for the truth there...
No one will know.
A few people returned to London. This time they didn’t look for any star-rated hotels, but just found a normal hotel to stay temporarily. They really needed to rest for a day before leaving—and Yzaks’ immigration procedures were still Didn't come down yet.
While staying in the hotel, Hao Ren got through the communication with Raven 12345.
