Chapter 274: Fraud
At this moment, the red light above my head suddenly flashed.
Billy didn't hesitate any longer and flew out instantly, as if he had decided to withstand the blood wave head-on.
However, Thor noticed that he first followed the red line and flew on the water. He should be planning to fly near the city gate, then quickly cross the blood water and leave here to reduce the time of contact with the blood waves.
Thor can't fly, and although Xiaozao can carry him around, due to the rising water level, there are almost no buildings nearby that have not been completely submerged.
If he wanted to get through, he would probably have to swim in the water for a while, and his magic power might not be able to last that long under the attack of the curse.
The debris floating on the water was so small and broken that it could not support his weight at all.
The roof above his head was still burning, and broken stones and tiles slid into the sea of blood, raising a cloud of black smoke.
The red light indicating the route flickered again, and it seemed that the opened door was really about to close.
Thor gritted his teeth and was about to jump out when suddenly, the diary flew out again.
[New Moon Year 316, September 1
What is the truest lie in the world? When you finally pass through the gate of hope, you find that freedom is so short-lived.
It turns out that the bloody ocean doesn't want to let you go.
But after letting you see hope,
I finally understood what despair was.
When your corpse floats in the sea of blood, looking at the red sky and the fluttering butterflies, maybe you will find peace in the world.
To experience the taste of death,
It's really bitter. 】
Thor retracted his foot, looked at Billy who had already flown far away, and looked back at Penny silently.
Penny looked back with her bright starry eyes, the emotions in them as pure as a real child.
Seeing Thor stop, Penny tilted her head and said, "Brother Thor, why don't you leave? The light is about to disappear."
Seeing that Thor still didn't move, Penny stood up and walked to Thor, as if wanting to hold his hand, but Thor dodged her.
"Brother Thor, do you want to stay with me? You are so nice."
More waves poured in through the window, and Thor knew he didn't have much time.
He had to get the real way to leave town from Penny as soon as possible.
Since the diary didn't say he would die if he entered the town, there must be a way to leave.
"What is the real way to leave the town? Did you lie to us just to make us die with you, or did you just want to see how a seemingly powerful wizard apprentice would collapse when he was desperate?"
"...Nightmare Butterfly Little Sister?"
Penny's hand, which was about to hold Thor's arm, suddenly froze in place.
For a moment, the only sound in the bell tower could be heard was the crackling of burning wood.
Angela, who was lying on the ground and too weak to speak, saw that Thor had not left yet, so she stretched out her left hand to him, as if asking for help.
Thor, who had been staring at Penny, did not notice Angela's movement. Instead, Penny suddenly walked around Thor angrily, walked in front of Angela, and stepped on her outstretched hand.
"Can't you see I'm talking to Brother Thor? What are two dead guys doing?"
Thor turned around and looked at the weak Angela without saying a word.
When Billy took the gray stone out of Angela's body and threw her on the ground, everyone knew that Angela was dead.
She was the only one who still had hope.
At this moment, the red light above everyone's heads completely went out.
But the diary still did not indicate a crisis.
This calmed Thor's heart, which had just skipped a beat, a lot.
And was able to maintain surface calm.
Penny, who was ready to watch the show, pouted in frustration, "How did you know that?"
Of course, Thor wouldn't say that he lied because the butterfly was mentioned in the diary and he got the cocoon from Penny.
Seeing that Thor was silent, Penny knew that he didn't want to tell her.
"Okay, I did lie to you. Since I can't get out, why should I be so kind as to show you the way? Am I a good person?"
At this time, Angela, who was stepped on by Penny, was completely motionless.
She fell to the ground with empty eyes, and the magic power in her body suddenly burst out, stirring up a strong airflow, which actually briefly blew away some of the blood wave that was pouring into the top floor of the bell tower.
At the same time, the scattered magical airflow blew out the flames above, revealing the charred roof.
The next moment, Thor narrowed his eyes and saw Angela's spirit.
As an apprentice majoring in dark witchcraft, Angela's spirit body was surprisingly fragile, with tiny cracks all over the surface, like a piece of scarred glass.
Penny seemed to have the ability to see spirits. Her starry eyes flickered, and suddenly she leaned forward and blew gently at Angela's spirit like blowing out a candle.
"call--"
Angela's spirit, which was originally in danger, was instantly carried away by the air flow and dissipated in the air like incense ash.
It couldn't be found at all.
"What on earth did Billy plant in Angela's body? She looked fine at ordinary times, but everything burst out after she died." Thor remembered that Billy's major was poison element. "Could this be a new toxin he cultivated? Can it harm the soul?"
Thor was startled and decided to go back and ask Kelly about Billy's situation.
"It's so boring." Seeing that Thor was still waiting for her answer, Penny rubbed her face irritably. "This cursed town is my prison. You see the crystal ball, right? I feel like I'm trapped in it. There seem to be exits everywhere, but I can't escape."
Penny curled up on the ground and looked like she was about to cry.
"Forget about the acting. If you really don't want to communicate, maybe I can find someone else to communicate with. I think the person who trapped you here should be willing to cooperate with the crystal ball wizard apprentice to capture you, right?"
Penny bit her lower lip and stood up.
"He doesn't need your cooperation at all!" The smile on Penny's face disappeared completely. "I'm going to die, completely dead. Although I don't know why that guy just trapped me with a curse and kept sending people in to bury me. But no matter what, I'm going to die. So why should I care about you?"
"For... the cocoon you gave me? Don't you care about your own child?"
Thor actually didn't know the relationship between Penny in front of him and the cocoon he got before, but that didn't stop him from continuing to fool her.
Penny sneered, "Who cares about a dead egg? I'll give it to you to play with."
“He’s not dead.”
"What?"
"After I brought it back to the wizard tower, it caused me a lot of trouble. I had to dig it out and temporarily seal it up, fearing that it would hatch the next day."
Fortunately, what Thor brought back was an unhatched cocoon.
If it was an adult nightmare butterfly, it would definitely not be something he could deal with.
The diary has already reminded Thor that if the cocoon is not sealed, hatching is a matter of time.
Apparently, Penny had no idea the cocoon was still alive.
Many creatures have the instinct to reproduce, and Thor doesn't know if the Nightmare Butterfly has this habit. Many creatures in the wizarding world cannot be generalized, and many living and non-living things will give priority to their own continuation.
But the nightmare butterfly in front of her was trapped here and kept complaining that it was going to die. If she was not lying, then a living cocoon should be very important to her.
Penny stared at Thor with her silver eyes, and suddenly said, "I don't believe it. You wizards are the best at lying. I want to take a look."
Two pairs of silver butterfly wings suddenly spread out behind her.
As soon as he saw Penny's wings, Thor believed that she was really going to die.
The wings were dull in color, with tears all over the edges, and there were many terrible penetrating wounds in the middle of the phosphorus wings.
Wings don't bleed, so the various wounds are clearly visible. It can be seen that the Nightmare Butterfly was really seriously injured.
Just like the crumbling, dark yellow dead leaves on the treetops in the severe winter.
