Claudia only felt chills all over her body, and she didn't even want to think about some things, but in addition to her trembling body, her thoughts were uncontrollable in the panic... her thoughts were running uncontrollably.
How could the high priest know her name? She never revealed her real name to anyone in the City of the Sun. Even Ibn mistook her for Princess Yamanlana at first.
Therefore, in the City of the Sun, theoretically, there are only two people who can know her name... Otto and classmate Luo Qiu.
Otto had been captured by the high priest before her eyes, and Luo Qiu was still out of contact... Could it be that, under the pressure of the high priest, Otto had already confided everything, including that they were actually from the land of the sun? Things in the world outside the city also...
No... that's not the case, in fact, there is another possibility!
A possibility that she didn't want to believe it subconsciously, or even instinctively didn't want to prove it, the high priest in front of her was the same person as her father, Professor Xie Jiatu!
This can even explain many things easily. For example, the artifact held by Princess Yamanlana... It is clearly a gun made by humans outside. It was my father, Professor Xie Jiatu, who brought this city of the sun and gave it to Abandoned Princess Yamanlana, claiming to be bestowed by the true god.
For example, why the name of a person like Aria is called Ibn here, but the high priest, whether outside or here, uses the same name.
Even... At this moment, the high priest revealed a feeling that made Claudia very familiar. Earlier, she quietly planned to slip away from the attic of the banquet. When she met the high priest for the first time, it was because of this The emergence of this feeling made her throw herself into his arms without hesitation.
"You... who are you?"
Countless questions floated in Claudia's mind, whether the man in front of her was the real high priest, or the high priest pretending to be a monster, or... the real Professor Xie Jiatu.
The high priest said calmly at this time: "Claudia, don't you believe me?"
"believe… "
Claudia only felt that drowsy feeling coming again, which was extremely heavy... Her eyelids gradually closed, and finally her eyes went dark, and she completely lost consciousness.
Her body also fell and did not land on the ground. Before that, the high priest took a step forward and held her body firmly.
"My name is Xijiatu." The high priest whispered in Claudia's ear at this time: "No matter where I am, there is only one identity..."
He helped Claudia onto the bed, fetched the jug again, and slowly poured the liquid in the jug into her mouth.
Not long after, the high priest left the princess' chambers and was about to return to the temple.
"Tonight is much longer than usual." The high priest suddenly stopped, staring at the moon above the night sky.
The accompanying white-robed guard stepped forward at this moment and said, "Maybe it's because the longest day of night is approaching."
At this time, the high priest said abruptly: "When the longest day of night comes... it will be the day of God's Extinction."
As the white-robed guard approached, he could clearly hear what the high priest said, and his expression changed slightly. He looked at the black-robed man in front of him in shock and horror... On his forehead, there was still a thin layer of sweat unknowingly. beads.
"It's just a joke." The high priest glanced at it casually, and said in a surprisingly old-fashioned way: "After all, in the entire Sun City, I am the only one who can make such a joke... If I don't Say, how can you hear?"
"Great...high priest?" The white-robed guard only felt that even his back was starting to feel cold at this moment.
The high priest shook his head, and walked away with his hands behind his back. He, who was dressed in a black robe, quickly merged with the darkness before dawn.
…
…
Eben actually woke up halfway, but found himself being dragged forward by that terrifying guy, and fainted in an instant.
So, this is the second time he wakes up... His nerves have naturally adapted to the current fear a little bit.
Surrounded by stone walls, it is not dim, and even unusually bright... from the fire, the fire of the oil lamp! A huge shadow was right now on the wall behind Eben's position, juxtaposed with Eben.
He looked at the huge shadow on the wall in horror, and his neck couldn't help becoming stiff... He immediately bit his fingers, moved his sight a little bit, and finally saw the source of the huge shadow!
The radiation from the fire is the terrifying guy who dragged himself to this place!
Eben could only see the opponent's back clearly... Its back was covered with rough gray hairs! Eben swears, he has never met anyone with such hair in his memory!
It is facing away from Eben, and it seems to be eating something... There is a pile of scattered gray bones next to it. It looks like these bones are of different degrees. It is speculated that this horrible thing seems to live in This place, and has been for a while.
Are these... Are they all human bones
Eben's teeth couldn't help but began to tremble. He swallowed, and while the horrible thing was carrying him on his back and was eating, he quietly got up, moved his steps, and walked towards the door that looked like a door. place to go.
After walking two steps, Eben looked back in fear again. Seeing that the horrible guy was still eating, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief and continued to move forward quietly.
After doing this several times, finally the exit door was close in front of him, and Eben couldn't help becoming more and more nervous... He stretched out his hand towards the door, was about to push it open, and then ran recklessly. He didn't want to be reduced to Food for this monster.
But at this moment!
Boom!
The sound of something hitting the wall suddenly came to mind, and Iben was startled. He instinctively squatted on the ground with his head on the pillow, and yelled in horror: "Don't eat me! Don't eat me! I, I, I... I'm still alive today. Didn't solve the stuff in the stomach! I... I really don't eat well!"
cluck cluck...
Something seemed to have rolled to Eben's feet. He opened his eyes and saw that it was a bone that hadn't finished eating the flesh on it... It looked like a leg bone or something!
Eben's eyes suddenly went dark, and he looked like he was about to faint again, when the terrifying guy with long gray hair suddenly stood up.
"If you sleep again this time, I'll think about eating you."
"Don't...don't...don't eat...eat?" Eben was lying on the ground first, begging for mercy in horror, but at this moment he suddenly raised his head, did he hear correctly
This terrifying guy can actually speak
Seeing the other party walking slowly at this time, Eben's eyes widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably... But the appearance of the other party gradually became clear. He finally saw the other party's appearance clearly!
Long gray hair all over his body... It turned out to be just the fur of an unknown beast that was draped around his body. This guy is obviously alone!
A guy wearing animal skins and a mask made of strange animal skulls. This animal skull mask makes this guy look very scary... especially in a dim environment!
"You...you?" Eben opened his mouth, and after knowing that the other party was human, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground as if drained of all his strength, and pressed his palm on the rolling bone .
Eben subconsciously picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was not a human bone...it seemed to be a cow bone.
The other party didn't speak, but just sat down in front of Iben... Wearing animal skins and skulls on his head, he looked much bigger than Iben, and the feeling of oppression still made Iben feel a little relaxed, and suddenly he became more relaxed. tense up.
for a while.
"This...this brother?" Eben tentatively asked the other party: "How...how do you call it?"
"Night Watchman." He said a name abruptly, "Just call me by my name, Night Watchman."
"Night watchman?" Eben nodded subconsciously, looked around randomly, and pointed around: "Here...here?"
The attitude of the night watchman made Iben a little uncertain, but he replied calmly after hearing the words: "This is the basement of the former queen's bedroom."
"The former queen?" Eben jumped up in shock all of a sudden, with a rather frightened look, exaggerating: "Here?"
The night watchman just glanced at him casually, without much reaction.
Eben calmed down, sat down again, and said to himself: "I heard that the former queen died suddenly, and no one knows the cause of death... There are many rumors that the former queen was killed by someone, and her soul After death, he has been staying in the place where Zeng Jin lived... "
As he said that, Iben quietly looked at the night watchman in front of him again, and subconsciously said: "It is said that something terrifying will appear in the former queen's bedroom... No, it can't be you, right?"
"I didn't know before." The night watchman said indifferently: "Now, it's probably me."
"Who are you? Why are you hiding here, pretending to be like this, to scare people in the palace?" Eben asked with a frown.
The night watchman said indifferently: "Compared to this, why did you break in here... You, the guard of the palace, don't you know that this is a forbidden area and no one is allowed to enter?"
Eben leaned against the wall with a hippie smile and said, "Others are others, I am me, what's the difference? If you want to know, brother, it's simple... tell me your origin first?"
The night watchman shook his head, "Then don't say it... Anyway, after staying here for a long time, you can't help but say it... You seem to be the type who can't keep a secret."
You mean a big mouth...
Eben was not happy about this, sneered twice, and suddenly jumped up, "Wait for me to see what you look like... You bastard! Today, Uncle Eben will teach you what it means to be a master!"
Three seconds later.
"Pain, pain, life! Hero, life! I was wrong... I was wrong, okay?"
"Not good!" The night watchman sneered.
At this time, he sat directly on Eben's body, picked up a bone with meat attached to it, and began to gnaw the bloody bone bit by bit.
How did Eben know that he was such a scum, and he was dealt with on the ground in a few strokes... At this time, he wanted to cry but couldn't stop begging for mercy, and finally talked about why he came here.
"...that's the way it is." Eben stretched his body with his hands, and tried his best to look back at the night watchman who was sitting on him, "Dude... can you not sit on me?"
"I can't." The night watchman threw away the bone he had gnawed in his hand, touched the blood on his mouth, and then asked calmly: "Tell me, besides you, there are three other people who sneaked into the palace with you. There is even one of them who looks exactly like Princess Yamalana... Where are they?"
"Didn't I say that?" Eben said helplessly, "I fell into a coma for some reason, and after waking up, I have been fleeing to this place... I don't know? Brother? Can you get up first, my waist? "
The night watchman ignored Eben's croaking at this time, but started talking to himself: "Princess Yamanlana? Could it be... Could it be that someone came in from outside?"
"Outside? What outside?" Eben subconsciously said, "Outside the palace? Who else but us?"
The night watchman ignored him, stood up directly, and then walked to the corner of the basement where a huge piece of cloth was covered, and the night watchman lifted the cloth, revealing the contents inside.
Eben has never seen many things here, but there is only one thing that he looks very familiar. Suddenly, Eben patted his head and exclaimed: "God... artifact? You... you have it too Artifact?"
Click!
The night watchman swiftly loaded the black pistol in Eben's hand with a bullet clip.
"Brother, who the hell are you?" Eben approached and asked nervously.
The night watchman glanced at him, and pointed the artifact in his hand directly at Iben... touching his forehead, Iben raised his hands subconsciously, "Old... dude, I... I shouldn't ask, I shouldn't ask... "
The night watchman suddenly said, "Iben, right?"
Eben nodded subconsciously, "Please tell me!"
The night watchman said directly: "Now there is an opportunity to make a lot of money... There is an opportunity to get huge wealth in front of you, do you want it?"
"Great wealth?" Upon hearing this, Eben regained his energy immediately, as if he had forgotten the fear caused by the artifact pressing against his forehead, his eyes lit up and he said, "What is it?"
"Accompany me to kill the high priest." The night watchman said with a sneer.
Eben blinked his eyes... and then passed out on the ground without moving. The night watchman raised his foot without saying a word, and looked towards Eben's crotch, which was about to be stepped on.
Eben quickly rolled to the side, got up in a panic, and said with a face like a bitter gourd: "Brother... the huge wealth you mentioned must be enjoyed with one's life... to kill the high priest? Am I crazy?"
"If I say, as long as you can successfully kill the high priest, I will have a way to take you out of the City of the Sun, and even..." The night watchman said in a deep voice at this time: "How about leaving this desert?"
Eben: "!!"
