Chapter 1136 Weird Light Cocoon
After making the announcement to the outside world, Tang En began to investigate Stanley's castle.
Stanley's signing of the contract with the devil must not have happened in a day or two. As his base camp, there must be clues left in his castle. Tang En believed that things related to the contract could be inferred from these clues.
The most important thing is that Tang En wants to determine the demon's movements to see whether this is just an ordinary demon summoning to sign a contract, or whether the demon has taken the initiative to sign a contract with Stanley, a king of mankind, in order to achieve a certain purpose.
But what he didn't expect was that what he found was far beyond Tang En's imagination.
"All of this... was done by him?"
Tang En looked at the scene in the room with a cold expression on his face. He suddenly felt that letting Stanley die so easily was a bit too cheap for him - oh, that's wrong, he might not be dead yet, but his soul was taken away by the devil. , maybe there will be a chance to settle accounts with him in the future.
This room is one of the many sealed rooms in the castle. It is not locked, but sealed by some kind of force, making it impossible to enter it.
When Tang En found the node of the seal and cracked the seal, he saw an infuriating picture: torture instruments covered in blood were hung on the walls of the room. Those torture instruments were obviously heavy-flavored S.M. supplies, but these It doesn't matter. The most important thing is that in the corner of the room, there are pickled corpses piled up. Those corpses are all little girls of fourteen or fifteen years old. They have been pickled with drugs, and there are Stanley cloths in the room. magic circle, so the body did not rot.
"It's too awful!"
Eluli, who was standing next to Tang En, covered her mouth and burst into tears: "That Stanley is really not a good person!"
After Fiona was silent for a moment, she slowly said: "We should have come here earlier."
Alleria shook her head and said, "Who in the right mind would think of such a thing? But... at least we are here. It is better to be late than never."
After Tang En settled the matter in Blood Rock City, they came over immediately. Fiona and Alleria had to deal with Grace's political affairs, while Iluli was responsible for establishing the Holy See branch here. , a place of prayer was prepared for the immigrant believers who would arrive later.
On the other hand, Tang En also had to rely on Eluli's natural affinity to appease the emotions of the elderly and children. Even if the Grace people did not believe in religion, they still could not resist Eluli's personality charm.
"How many girls have died here? Their parents know clearly that the girls sent to Stanley will never be seen again, don't they doubt it? These people are still rushing to sacrifice their daughters?"
Fiona found it very difficult to understand. Even if the people could not resist the king, they would at least respond passively to this situation, right? But why is the fact so contrary to common sense?
"I'm afraid they've all been influenced by Stanley's demonic use."
Iluli wiped her tears and said sadly: "It is difficult for humans to resist the power of demons."
"But," Tang En frowned, "As far as I know, devils are experts at playing with people's hearts and contracts. Devils are just destructive maniacs full of contradictions. They rarely make such rules as signing contracts with humans. thing."
"But the Comala Bloodthirsty Demon is indeed a type of demon..."
"So there must be something wrong here..."
Tang En sighed and said: "Find someone to come over and collect these corpses, and then make them public. Let them see what kind of person the Stanley they admire is. By the way, film them and use them as program material for the Magic Projection Tower. Wait. Let these poor little girls rest in peace as soon as possible after this is made public."
Eluli corrected Tang En's statement: "Their souls have left here long ago, and all that remains are the scarred bodies in the world."
"Okay okay, whatever, let's get on with it."
Tang En led everyone to search one room after another. The sealed chambers he saw later were similar to the one at the beginning, except that the torture instruments placed inside were different. The little girls all Became a pitiful victim of Stanley's men.
This situation continued until Tang En pushed open a door in the castle basement.
"This is--"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, followed by coughing heavily, and the strong smell of blood made them choke and cover their noses.
The basement covers an area of nearly tens of thousands of square meters, with a pool dug in the center. The pool is filled with boiling and rolling blood. From time to time, you can see bones underneath the blood. Complex magic circles are carved on the ground around the pool. The blood in the magic circle was flowing in the grooves, emitting a strange light.
What is even more creepy is that at the nodes of this huge magic circle, what is placed are not common magic materials, but young hearts!
When the blood in the magic circle flows through the nodes, it enters the heart. While the heart beats to transport the blood, it also transports magic power into the magic circle, forming a very strange cycle.
In the center of the blood pool is a lavender oval light cocoon imprisoned by runes. A strange pillar is suspended above the light cocoon. What seems to be Abyssal language is written on the pillar, but the language grammar is very confusing and cannot be deciphered at all.
Chains extending from the basement wall gathered on the pillar. In Tang En's eyes, the power of the entire magic circle was concentrated on the sharp pillar through the chains. The entire stone pillar exuded a very strange aura.
The entire basement is obviously very bloody and terrifying, but this lavender light cocoon is clean and pure without a trace of pollution, as if it doesn't seem to exist here.
"Who knows this magic circle?"
Fiona's face was very ugly: "Just by looking at it, I feel that it is very evil. There must be nothing good in this light cocoon!"
"This magic circle is nothing, the key is what the light cocoon is..."
Tang En was also surprised, because even he could not search for information about this light cocoon in his mind, and there was no usable intelligence.
[Nora, do you know what? 】
【Eh? me? 】
Nora poked her head out of Tang En's chest pocket: "It seems to be the incubation form of some kind of life. I can feel the existence of life forms inside." 】
Hatching life?
Tang En frowned. If he looked closely at the light cocoon, he could vaguely see something like a fetus inside.
At this time, a drop of thick blood suddenly seeped out from the bottom of the stone pillar. The blood slowly gathered and grew in size, and then "ticked" and landed on the lavender light cocoon. Then everyone saw that the light cocoon suddenly violently The ground shrank, and the fetus inside suddenly struggled, as if it had been seriously injured. After a moment, the light cocoon unfolded again, but there was suddenly a trace of blood on it. After more than ten seconds, , the bloody breath disappeared again, but the light of the light cocoon became dimmed.
Tang En could clearly detect that the bloody aura was purified by the light cocoon itself, rather than being absorbed, so he became even more confused. No matter how it looked, it didn't look like it was going to hatch the fetus inside, but it looked like it was going to kill the fetus. , or like corrupting the fetus.
[Nora, this magic circle doesn’t look like it’s hatching a fetus...]
[Who told you that this magic circle is incubating fetuses? 】
Nora was stunned: [I'm just talking about the light cocoon. Isn't this magic circle obviously going to corrupt the fetus? 】
"..."
Is it obvious...
In line with the principle that we must protect what the enemy wants to destroy, Tang En decided to get out this light cocoon first. The key content of the contract signed by Stanley and the devil must be related to this light cocoon. At least Tang En did not believe that Stanley That bastard Grace is capable of setting up such a complicated corrupting magic circle.
"You guys wait, I'll get that light cocoon out."
After Tang En finished speaking, he floated over. When he came near the light cocoon, he could see the fetus inside more clearly. It was more like a baby than a fetus.
But after seeing clearly what was in the light cocoon, Tang En's expression became even weirder, because it was a devil child with two horns on his head, two wings on his back, and a thin tail.
Who the hell can tell me what's going on?
The devil signed a contract with Stanley just to deal with such a devil child?
Is it necessary to go to such trouble?
Isn't it going to end if you just crush it to death?
Tang En was speechless. At this time, another drop of blood dripped, and the light cocoon shrank sharply again. Tang En was surprised to find that the child in the light cocoon actually showed a very painful expression, and a pair of small hands hugged him tightly. At the same time, the little face wrinkled up, and a strange layer of blood began to erode the child, causing a blood-colored shadow to appear on the face of the fetus.
Tang En did not dare to delay any longer. He waved his hand, and violent magic swept through the entire basement. The hard chains and runes collapsed. The power accumulated in the magic array exploded directly, and the blood in the blood pool rose into the sky. It penetrated directly through the entire castle, and everyone in Blood Rock City witnessed this scene.
After breaking the magic circle, Tang En looked at the light cocoon that was getting darker and darker. The lingering blood energy seemed to have penetrated into it. After thinking for a moment, Tang En placed his hand on the light cocoon.
The power of the void can purify even the breath of chaos, and the corrosive breath of blood must not be a problem either.
The fire of the void suddenly appeared, and the soft transparent flame easily burned away the bloody breath on the light cocoon. Tang En controlled the fire of the void and continued to penetrate deep into the cocoon to purify the pollution. After a while, the fire of the void passed through the fetus. , dispelled all the dirty power accumulated in the fetus. As soon as Tang En breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a crisp sound of "Gaba".
The cocoon of light cracked.
The devil child inside slowly opened his eyes, looked at Tang En in front of him, blinked his beautiful big purple eyes, and suddenly opened his arms happily.
"Papa..."
"..."
Tang En was instantly petrified: "——What!?"
