Chapter 51: The second item: Picking up the item - Candy store
Because the ritual had not yet been completed, they simply gagged Shen Li and tied him aside.
Song Buyu was already thinking about how to create chaos and rescue his "useless roommate who can't take care of himself".
Obviously, the people here believe in what is written in the Necronomicon.
The rune was about to be completed, and the archbishop quickly stepped out of the circle, cut his finger, and made the final stroke.
I saw that the place in the center of the formation where the flesh and blood of the black goat was placed collapsed inward.
A round black hole suddenly appeared on the flat ground.
The sounds of ghosts and wolves howling from the cave came from far away and gradually got closer.
The gates of hell opened wide, and countless demons and monsters rushed out.
A hurricane blew up in the formation. The believers who were crawling on the ground were shocked by the scene before them and raised their heads to look at it.
Although the wind inside the formation was very strong, no wind could be felt outside the formation.
Screams, cries, all kinds of sounds entangled together.
The vengeful spirits huddled together, their translucent bodies intertwined with each other.
The smell of sheep around was gradually replaced by a foul smell.
Seeing that the summoning was successful, the archbishop led the five priests to kneel on the ground.
Just wait for the vengeful spirits to fight each other and usher in their final faith.
The vengeful spirits rushed out but were confined within the formation.
It was so crowded that the higher-level evil spirits began to devour the lower-level evil spirits.
The evil spirits began to fight in this small space. They tore each other's heads and bit off each other's rotten flesh.
The more companions you devour, the greater the power you gain.
In the end, only one or two outstanding ones were left after this mass slaughter.
The onlookers were all guessing who would become their god.
The gates of hell slowly closed.
Two evil spirits filled with resentment were tearing each other apart in the formation.
Suddenly, a giant skeleton hand stretched out from the black hole, grabbed the two vengeful spirits, and crushed them easily.
It was a demon made entirely of bones, and was several stories tall.
The mere fact that it crawled out from the ground brought intimidation enough to make all the followers submit to it.
The archbishop could tell at a glance that the last thing that crawled out was not at the same level as the previous ones.
It crushed the last two evil spirits with just one hand.
It is the final king.
So the archbishop quickly led the congregants to kowtow to it.
"We are willing to worship you as God."
The skeleton lowered its head and looked down upon all living beings, snorting coldly:
"How dare you use such a low-level formation to trap me? Ants, are you worthy enough?"
The giant skeleton swung its arms suddenly, and a crack appeared in the translucent barrier instantly.
When the archbishop saw this scene, he began to panic.
He flipped through the Necronomicon desperately, trying to see if there was any record in the book on how to deal with such a situation.
The priest behind him wanted to pull him away to escape, but the archbishop remained completely unmoved.
"There must be a way..."
Song Buyu was determined to save Chen Li, and seeing the opportunity coming, he took advantage of the chaos and shouted, "Run!"
The believers kneeling on the ground also panicked and fled in all directions, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.
Song Buyu pushed aside one person after another, stood on tiptoe and raised his head, searching for Shen Li in the crowd with difficulty.
I didn’t find Chen Li, but I saw Yu Qianqian.
"Why are you here too?"
"Of course, I'm here to gather intelligence and sell it for a good price."
"Help us find Shen Li!"
The big guy lifted Yu Qianqian onto his shoulders. Yu Qianqian pointed in a direction and shouted to Song Buyu, "Over there."
The ropes on Shen Li had been untied at some point. He stood there alone and took out the cloth stuffed in his mouth himself.
The boy went against the flow of people and headed towards the most dangerous place.
His figure was thin, and he was pushed and bumped on the shoulder by the panicked believers, stumbling several times.
The giant skeleton crawling out of hell is still destroying the formation.
The barrier that blocks it is already riddled with holes.
The archbishop collapsed powerlessly outside the formation, and continued to read the solution as if he was possessed.
Yu Qianqian called out to Chen Li a few times from afar, but it was too noisy around.
"Why is he going there? To die?"
"He is just a road idiot. He has no sense of direction at all!"
Song Buyu rushed towards Chen Li and called him when he was a few steps away from him.
"Shen Li! Run over here!"
Shen Li tilted his head to glance at him, still walking towards the danger indifferently.
The barrier was broken at this moment.
The gigantic skeleton was released, looking down upon the humans who were scurrying around like ants.
The archbishop looked up at the monster he had released, and then he realized that he had done something wrong.
It will destroy the whole world!
It turns out that the seal on the Necronomicon is not unbreakable.
He believed in this book too much.
I no longer have the courage to escape.
This huge sense of guilt made the archbishop have no intention of escaping when facing the skeleton.
Things have developed to this point, and he just wants to die to atone for his sins.
The giant skeleton raised its foot towards the archbishop.
The Archbishop closed his eyes and prepared himself for his impending fate.
But the kick didn't land yet.
He slowly opened his eyes and found a young man standing in front of him.
The young man simply raised his hands to withstand the heavy pressure.
Is it him?
The boy who tried to stop him before the ceremony began?
The archbishop suddenly felt a will to survive and he crawled back a few steps.
In the broken barrier, Chen Li supported his foot with an expressionless face.
He raised his hand slightly, and the giant skeleton lost its balance and its huge body fell down.
Song Buyu and Yu Qianqian, who witnessed this scene with their own eyes, had expressions on their faces that could not be described as shocking.
Song Buyu even took the time to pinch himself.
Is he dreaming?
Is this still my loser roommate who can’t take care of himself?
Is it ghost possession?
It is said that after being possessed by a ghost, a person who was originally unable to lift anything with his hands will suddenly become extremely strong.
In order to confirm his guess, Song Buyu called him again: "Chen Li!"
Shen Li knocked down the giant skeleton easily, turned around and told him: "Stand away."
Judging from his expression, he didn't look like he was possessed by a ghost at all.
And they can communicate normally.
Speaking of which, every time I was in danger, I was able to turn danger into safety with Chen Li by my side.
So…
Was he hiding his strength before? Did he not trust them?
Behind Shen Li, the giant skeleton that he had knocked down just now stood up again.
He gave it a cold look.
I don't want to let the shadow run wild. Even though the shadow is powerful, it can't hit the target in one strike. It will take a long time to linger and cause unnecessary consequences.
Moreover, controlling shadows is troublesome.
He couldn't control his blood because he remembered Ye Minglang's previous instructions, which told him not to hurt himself easily.
Then the only thing left is talismans.
Chen Li drew the talisman with one hand, sacrificing his taste buds for three days.
He put two fingers together and wrote something in the air.
A golden talisman fell from the sky.
The talisman was covered with symbols that they could not understand. The symbols glowed with golden light and looked like a mountain.
Pinned down the giant skeleton that was just trying to get up.
Its bones were pressed against the ground, and its proud posture suddenly changed into a miserable state of crawling on the ground.
The force of the talisman continued to increase. The skeleton let out a wail, and its entire body was instantly crushed into powder.
The white ashes fell to the ground and were scattered everywhere by the wind.
The believers who were running for their lives just now suddenly quieted down and watched the incredible scene.
The boy stood in the middle of a pile of ashes and turned around with confusion and innocence.
The archbishop who witnessed this scene knelt on the ground and shouted at Shen Li:
"We are willing to worship you as a god!"
"We are willing to worship you as a god!"
All the black-robed church members followed the archbishop and knelt down.
Shen Li, who had shown no fear in the face of such a terrifying skeleton just now, now suddenly became a little panicked.
He was even so panicked that he looked frightened and backed away repeatedly.
The priest standing behind Shen Li, who was kneeling on the ground like everyone else, suddenly took off his mask and pushed him forward a few steps.
Is blind.
Even Song Buyu had never expected this.
"When did this blind man become a priest? Hey, is he not blind anymore?"
The blind man didn't seem to want Shen Li to escape.
He firmly pushed Shen Li back to the center of the altar.
"We are willing to worship you as a god!"
"Bless us!"
Led by the archbishop and priests, the believers looked pious.
"I am not..."
I am not a god.
Shen Li wanted to deny it, but the blind man behind him suddenly whispered in his ear:
"If you don't become their god, they will continue to summon other messed up things."
"Black goats, skeleton monsters, these people who have lost their faith have lost their minds. They just grab some monsters and worship them as gods."
The blind man thought that people like Chen Li should stand in the light.
He deserves the word "God".
In the future, he will become the faith of many people.
Just like he had picked him up from the herd of black goats that day.
That embrace was so warm, and from that day on, he became a believer of Chen Li.
"You have to be, too."
The blind man encouraged him to muster up his courage and stand in front of people.
"They have taken so many wrong paths, and only you can lead them to the light."
The blind man was like a seducer, forcing Shen Li to face his devout believers.
"Now, they will do whatever you say. If you don't believe it, try it yourself."
"Really?"
Chen Li faced everyone and took off his black robe.
"From today on, you can wear clothes of all colors."
It’s not that he likes to order people around, but he himself really doesn’t like this airtight black robe.
Wearing it is like wearing a pair of shackles.
Under the altar, the people led by the archbishop were the first to take off their black robes.
The rest of the people also took action and untied the black robe that had bound them for a long time.
Chen Li stood in front of the group, his movements a little stiff due to nervousness.
He walked up to the Archbishop, bent down, and asked him kindly:
"If you need any help from me, just tell me. Could you please stop kneeling and stand up first?"
The Archbishop is the former Angry High Priest, and as overbearing as he was before, he is now as respectful.
He took Shen Li's words as an oracle, but refused to stand up no matter what.
