Chapter 162 Weird

“Nursery Rhymes and Folktales?”

After Roja left, Elma on the side Putting down the photo in his hand, he asked Zhou Li curiously: “Zhou Li, do you think these three monsters are related to nursery rhymes and folk tales?”

“Remember I once told you on the airship , does Jordan have a nickname other than Fog City?”

“Of course I remember.”

Elma put her knees together, shaking her body slightly, replied: “You told me In the past, Jordan is also known as the grotesque capital.”

Zhou Li took the tea cup aside, put the sugar cubes into the black tea, and slowly stirred, “The reason why Jordan is called the grotesque city. All, mainly because of one man and his thousand and one books.”

Jordan means “promised place” in Anglo-South slang. Legend has it that when Yingnan was established, an ordinary human wrote a thousand bizarre stories full of eerie colors in Jordan. Werewolves, vampires, bandage monsters, skeletons and other thousand kinds of monsters that only exist in people’s imaginations appeared in his pen and books.

Originally, this should have been just the story of a writer brimming over with talent. However, in the records, the author, whose life and name are all unknown, did not stop writing after writing the thousandth bizarre “The Doll Maid of Carlos”. He quit his job at the publishing house, locked himself in a house, and started writing the thousand and one grotesques day and night.

Since that day, he has not communicated with anyone, he has cut off all social ties, and has given up invitations to high society. Writers lock themselves in tiny rooms and give up everything but crazy writing. He kept writing, but no matter how he tried to exaggerate the horror in the book and create a more bizarre monster, the thousand and one monsters he wanted to write just didn’t appear.

Over time, people gradually forgot the man known as the Father of Wickedness, and the uninhabited house at No. 111 Baker Street. Because it has been a hundred years since the man published the last bizarre book, no one will care about a lunatic who disappeared a hundred years ago, and no one will remember him.

“However, the grotesques remembered him.”

Zhou Li put down the bottomed glass and faced Elma who was listening intently to the story, Zhou Li’s voice was a little low.

“No one knew at the time that the thousand and one grotesques were written long ago.”

“A writer is the ultimate grotesque.”

The writer died, his room ran out of ink, ran out of paper, and the last pen was completely scrapped. And he himself, did not have any strength to pick up the pen and write the characters.

However, his book was written.

Human skin paper, blood turned into ink, and bones pulled out as pens.

He used himself to write the last bizarre book.

“Where’s the book?”

When Zhou Li finished the story, Elma looked up and asked in confusion, “Where did this personal book end up? “

“It’s burned.”

Zhou Li shrugged, removed the black fog used to accentuate the atmosphere, and said to Elma in a relaxed tone: “This thing How could it be kept? The Yingnan government directly threw him into the fire after finding the book, or else? Keep it for trouble?”

“Alas~”

Elma hearing this was lying on the table, pouting her lips and making a poof sound, then smiled and said to Zhou Li: “That’s not bad, then no one will get hurt because of this weird thing I’m done.”

“Huh.”

Zhou Li smiled and stroked Elma’s hair, Elma’s eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and she was smiling. The sunlight outside the window appeared quietly and fell beside the two of them.

It has been a week since the signing of the contract with Roya. During this time, Zhou Li found a single-family house facing the street with a good location. Relying on the identity of the “Jordanian detective” created by the government to control the panic, Zhou Li bought the house without much formalities and used it as his and Elma’s residence and work place in Yingnan.

In the early morning, when the bells echoed, Roja came to the door.

“Are there any clues?”

During this week, the monsters did nothing as if they were taking care of Zhou Li to buy a house, except that the werewolf remained silent. No problem other than that. There are also clues about vampire and the bandage monster, but they are not formed, and Zhou Li and Kite Detective are also helpless.

And today, Roja’s arrival brought Zhou Li a good news and a bad news.

“Mr. Folders, I have bad news and good news here, which one do you want to hear?”

Faced with being increasingly drawn into a relationship with oneself, even Roja, who always makes jokes, Zhou Li pushed the black tea in front of him and said with a smile: “Let’s talk about the bad news first, I prefer to plan for the worst.”

“Bad The news is that he’s dead.”

“Oh.”

King Zhou Li nods, then he puts the sugar-sweetened milk tea in front of him, and suddenly raises his head, very tense Asked in astonishment: “What? Wait a minute what did you just say?”

“The king is dead.”

Facing Zhou Li, who was stunned, Roja repeated it again. He repeated the words just now, and added: “Just a week ago, King William III was found dead in his bedroom. He was nailed to a cross, and his body was engraved with red lines.”

Like a ruthless photo machine, Roja took out a photo from his waist and handed it to Zhou Li. Zhou Li took the photo, which was a chubby, elegant and poised cross naked man. This man was nailed to the cross, four thick long iron nails through his limbs firmly fixed him on red’s plank, and a hideous silver nail pierced through his face, destroying him ‘s face.

And what Zhou Li was most concerned about in this photo was that on the man’s bare skin, a bunch of red lines that seemed to be messy and disordered were actually scattered all over his body.

“This line…”

Zhou Li narrowed his eyes and whispered to himself, “I seem to have seen it somewhere.”

“Your memory There’s nothing wrong.” Roja seemed to know what Zhou Li was referring to, and said to him after nodding: “According to the information we collected here, on the night of the werewolf’s murder, the blood moon outside the window was full of such lines. “

“Seven days ago was the king, then the Duke of Mintz, then the Asman count, and finally the Boss.”

Zhou Li’s brain was running fast, and in an instant there would be All clues to possible connections are put together.

“Roja, let me ask you a question.”

Raising his head, Zhou Li asked Roja solemnly: “Duke Mintz, count Asman, And that Boss, have you all been in contact with the Gospels?”

“Yes.”

Roja nodded, agreeing: “We have already noticed this, in fact All three were given occupations by the Gospels.”

“The Duke of Mintz is a hunter, the Asman count is a healer, and Hillary is a mathematician. They all listened to the Gospels at the age of twelve and became professionals.”

“Where’s the king?”

“The king’s profession is to be a leader, which is not bestowed by the Gospels. His.”

Roja faced Zhou Li’s questioning and replied carefully: “King William III’s career was given by the leader’s union, and he had no contact with the Gospels in his life. It is because of this , we have a lot of headaches now.”

At this moment, Roja’s communicator sounded. After making a gesture, he put the communicator to his ear and began to communicate with the person opposite. After a while, Roja put down the communicator and said to Zhou Li with a serious look:

“Mr. Forders, the latest news, the gospel cathedral where the gospel is located was attacked, and now we are asking for support.”

p>

“Let’s go.”

Without any hesitation, Zhou Li got up and opened the closet, putting on a gray black stand-up collar trench coat. Elma, who had just woken up at this time, walked out of the room and asked Zhou Li sleepily:

“What’s the matter? Do you want to go out?”

“As usual, I have The key.”

Zhou Li, who had already set up restrictions in the house, reminded Elma, then he picked up his cane and left the house with Roja.

“Okay~~~”

Waving in the direction where Zhou Li left, Elma yawned a long time, and then she staggered towards the dining table. , mutter incantations in his mouth,

“I got up late and had breakfast in the second cabinet. If Zhou Li leaves alone and doesn’t open the door for strangers, black fog…”

Elma walks away Going to the sofa, he gently picked up the black mist at the handle of the sofa and placed it on his shoulders like a cat. After touching the dark mist gently, Elma walked to the kitchen and looked for breakfast.

At this time, Zhou Li had already got into the military vehicle that Roja had just repaired, and drove quickly towards the direction of the gospel cathedral.

“Have you confirmed the type of enemy?”

In the car, Zhou Li asked Roja beside him, “How many people, what type of enemy, and how strong is it?”

“An enemy, whose type is difficult to describe to you, is at least as strong as Bright Peak.”

After calmly answering Zhou Li’s question, Roja finished with a beautiful test. Drift, hit the stone pier, with the powerful performance of the military vehicle, the stone pier shattered, and the car was fine.

After passing the last intersection, Zhou Li and Roja came to a higher platform. The two got out of the car and came to the edge of the platform, where they saw the enemy charging the cathedral barrier.

About twelve meters in length, a huge monster made of tragic white skeletons waving the bone sticks in his hands, constantly smashing on the barrier of the gospel cathedral. Accompanied by the interlaced sound of rumbling, bone fragments flew everywhere, and a sharp bone spur burst out of the ground on the smashed ground, blood and Death Aura came head on.

“Skull?”

Zhou Li squinted his eyes, he seemed to think of something, and the corner of his mouth raised an indiscernible arc. Then he looked towards Roja on the side, solemnly asked: “How long will the fastest Legion come here?”

“Today is Thanksgiving, and half of all Legion are on vacation…”

p>

Facing the oppression-forced skeleton giant, Roja’s face was very ugly, “The rest of the people didn’t eat for prayer, and only drank a little water at six o’clock in the morning. Now they can mobilize and have As for Legion with mobility, only the fourth detachment of Templar Knight is left, but because the fourth detachment is stationed far away, it will take thirty minutes to arrive at the earliest.”

“According to the answer from the person inside. , this shield can only last for ten minutes.”

hearing this, Zhou Li felt speechless for a while. In addition to making the underground aborigines deeply grateful, this Thanksgiving is only useful for outsiders to invade. In such an important city as Jordan, there is no second Legion with battle strength to come to support after such an emergency. No wonder the crime rate remains high all the year round.

As for attacking the skeleton giant with Roja, Zhou Li didn’t even think about it. The main reason for getting the werewolf last time was because of the tight time and the ability to crush the werewolf with his own strength. Of course, the righteous sneak attack also accounts for a large part of the reason. But it was a werewolf, a humanoid species, with throats, necks, and cocks, something that could launch backstabs.

This skeleton giant is twelve meters high, and even if Zhou Li is given ten minutes, he can carve a loyalty to the country on it.

“Can you contact the nearest arsenal around?”

After hearing Zhou Li’s question, Roja suddenly understood something, he quickly took out his communicator and started to connect , After a while, he gave the answer.

“There’s an arsenal twelve kilometers from here.”

“You drive…forget it, I’ll drive and get them ready with enough explosive powder and launchers. .”

After saying that, Zhou Li flew into the car directly, stepped on the accelerator and stuck on a tree stump beside him. After the flustered and exasperated kicks broke the tree stump and drove into the pavement, Zhou Li galloped towards the arsenal as directed by Roja.

Read the information about the customs of Yingnan in your hand Books, Elma sitting on the reclining chair swayed her clean calves, bulging her cheeks and gently blowing the black mist in front of her.

dong dong dong.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Elma suddenly stopped what she was doing, closed her mouth, and looked at the door nervously.

“Hello, I’m a friend of Mr. Folders. I came to visit today. Is anyone home?”

A soft female voice sounded outside the door. Elma didn’t make any sound, she put away the book lightly, and sat motionless on the chair. The black mist on his shoulders had already floated beside the door, quietly suspended in the air.

“Hello, is anyone home?”

Another greeting, Elma still speechless.

“No one?”

The woman’s voice sounded outside, followed by a thick, indiscernible voice replied:

“Then Put the present down, trust me, he’ll help us.”

An object seemed to be placed in the doorway, and with two different footsteps, the room returned to calm.

Elma still didn’t move, she sat quietly on the reclining chair, staring at the door, cyan’s eyes were full of calm, like a deep ocean without waves.

The sun fell behind Elma, the white bouquet in the vase swayed gently in the wind, and time seemed to be stretched, making it hard to breathe.

“What a pity.”

The woman said regretfully: “It seems that the girl is really not there.”
