Chapter 040 The Four Famous Detectives
——Finally died.
This is the biggest thought in Tarona's mind at the moment.
In the era without the Internet, it would take her many times longer just to collect intelligence, not to mention asking for help. There are no superheroes here who can fight the anomalies head-on for a few rounds.
But relatively speaking, the intensity of the abnormalities in this world is indeed lower than that in the Anglo-American world, because it has no other channels or methods to enhance its own strength and can only hide as much as possible and develop slowly.
OK, this is another way of complementing each other's advantages.
The Great Witch let go of the long axe in her hand, and the brilliant axe turned into stars and disappeared into the air. She pressed one hand on the heart of the [Blood Nun] where there was a big hole, and continuously transferred magic power into it to forcibly dispel the lingering anger of the [Blood Nun]; with one hand, she snapped her fingers, and the charming magic flame domineeringly left the thick mist, devouring the flesh and blood of the abnormal and the abnormal cubs like a whale swallowing cow water.
Don't worry about the pollution outside the ghost realm. Now that the abnormal is dead, it's the job of the world consciousness.
“Wow!”
The children who came running to find their mother cried out in surprise.
The magic flames wrapped around their bodies and quickly cleaned off their blood. It also playfully flicked the children's chubby cheeks twice before dissipating into the air with satisfaction.
The ghost realm was transformed by Tarona's power, and these children were also tainted with her aura. The magic flame responded with a friendly exploration of all beings that had the aura of its master.
“Mother!”
When the children saw their mother's figure, they immediately forgot about the beautiful flames and ran towards the black and white nun on their short legs. Before they came to her, they stretched out their hands for a hug.
'Ah! Look, these are my children!'
'They are so cute and adorable, how could anyone have the heart to hurt them?'
"...Whoever hurt them should die!"
The whispers of the Blood Nun rang in Tarona's ears again. She was like a mother who was simply proud of her children. She kept repeating how cute and excellent her children were, and how those who hurt her children deserved to die.
The nagging and repetitiveness are quite annoying.
But the anger value slowly dropped, and soon it stabilized within a normal threshold.
...Well, the normal threshold for a Berserker.
"Scarlet Mother's Love" was supposed to last thirty-six hours, and only a little over two hours had passed.
The Berserker's health can be restored after the battle, and the reduced sanity value will be added back, but the [Blood Sister] is a dead person, her health is basically zero and cannot be restored.
Therefore, Tarona's current san value is still 30%.
I hope Wuqing can cooperate a little, otherwise he will be the one who gets scared.
...Well, looking at it this way, Wuqing is really unlucky.
As Tarona was thinking this, the children surrounded her happily, each of them wishing they could stretch out eight hands to hang on her tightly.
"Good child!"
With the motherly love buff high up, the great witch looked at the group of children lovingly and gave each of them a loving pat on the head.
The enemy is dead, it's time for them to go home.
Go home, back to the safe paradise where there is hot tea and sweets, swings and fairy tales.
It's time for mother and children to go home together.
…
Thick gray fog came suddenly, and in an instant it spread to the entire Jizhou Prefecture. The surroundings became silent, as if something terribly important had happened, yet as if nothing had happened.
Those who were asleep slept even more deeply, and those who were still awake went back to sleep spontaneously. The city had never been so quiet.
When the sun rose the next day and the people started working again, they were shocked to find that
The prefectural government collapsed!
The Temple of the Holy Mother of Eternal Life collapsed!
So many people disappeared overnight!
Oh my God, what happened?
When they wanted to get the answer from the highest official in Jizhou Prefecture, they were told that the official was also missing, and the entire family of the prefectural governor was missing!
In an instant, the panic in Jizhou Prefecture reached its peak.
It was at this time that Zhui Ming made a brilliant appearance with Jizhou's only remaining fruit.
Mr. Cui Sanye swore that he had never enjoyed such attention in his life.
But he had to be high-profile. This kind of thing was already a major event that would go down in history. Not only were the people in a panic, he was also a little panicked.
He found the golden sword and the silver sword, as well as Master Wuyan and Liaowu. They were all fine, just like everyone else, they were just sleeping soundly.
but--
He couldn't find his senior brother and Madam Luo.
It's like they just... disappeared from this world completely.
…
Just as Tarona had worried before, once Wuqing entered the paradise, he would never be able to leave.
——At least he has no chance of going out until the “Scarlet Motherly Love” loses its effect.
The black and white nun, unable to retract her true ghost form, pushed open the door of the paradise with a bunch of carrots. Her sweet singing like silver bells rang out in the quiet space, attracting everyone's attention.
But the first thing everyone noticed was the black and white nun walking at the end.
"Sister Luo!"
The twelve girls waved at her, and they stood up carefully from their seats and walked over with joy and some annoyance.
They were happy that the black and white nuns were still safe, but they were worried about whether they should ask Sister Luo who saved them about the situation at home.
There is no concept of time in the park. It always maintains the same scenery and temperature, and even the angle of the sunlight is the same.
They couldn't tell how long they had been here. Before they came here, part of their cognition had been affected by Tarona's magic.
They forgot the fact that they were sold to the evildoers by their families, forgot the despair and pain they experienced in the darkness underground, forgot how they came to this magical place, and even more forgot how the magic here was contrary to common sense.
If they don't forget these things, they will soon have a mental breakdown.
The attitude of [Blood Nun] towards them is tolerant and kind, but her tolerance is limited to the fact that they stay obediently in this safe paradise, and her kindness is limited to the fact that they are still nurturing young lives.
Since Tarona cannot use magic to change her current appearance, she can only change other people's five senses.
——Pregnant women are delicate and need to be cared for carefully and must be treated with extra caution.
They must not be allowed to see the fierce true form of the Blood Nun, otherwise they might be frightened to the point of having a miscarriage on the spot, or even lose both their lives in serious cases.
The children of [Blood Nun] were also very smart. They were very well-behaved and sensible and avoided the twelve pregnant aunts. They stood a dozen steps away, curiously looking at their bellies which had already bulged into a considerable arc, and exclaimed in low voices as they looked.
Unbelievable!
The patience of the Blood Nun in berserk mode was limited. Tarona suppressed her rising irritability and coaxed the twelve pregnant women back to take a nap.
The household puppets were very considerate. As soon as the big witch came in, they took the children back to the room. It seemed that they would not bring the children out until the "Scarlet Maternal Love" wore off.
——Ouch, the master is super angry, run!
Everyone had left, and only Wuqing was left sitting in the garden.
When the children saw him, their eyes lit up and they ran over to surround him.
This is the man who has been recognized by his mother, he has the key, and he is not afraid of them.
Wuqing looked at the group of children who ran over to surround him. His cold eyebrows softened and the icy aura around him melted a lot. The leader of the four famous detectives now looked like an ordinary neighbor brother.
Seeing Wuqing sitting in a wheelchair, the boy, who also had disabled legs when he was alive, could empathize the most. He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Wuqing's thigh.
The boy looked up and asked, "Will you feel pain? I couldn't walk and run when I was still alive, but my mother, brother and sister pushed me to walk... I also have a wheelchair, which is smaller than yours!"
The children nearby also looked up at him, with the same light shining in their eyes, which was pity for their new brother who could not walk.
But it doesn’t matter, they can take turns pushing him, they are so strong now!
Although Wuqing didn't understand what the boy said, he could sense the sincerity in his words, so he raised the corners of his lips and gave the children a warm smile.
The chief constable's expression was always indifferent. He seldom smiled, and his smile had never been so warm.
He could feel that these children had great kindness towards him. After just their first meeting, they had already included him in the ranks of family members with whom they could have such close contact.
Such kindness is so pure and beautiful that only those who are hopelessly evil would have the heart to break it.
The boy's hand was placed gently on his leg, as gentle and as cold as Madam Luo's.
The icy temperature was transmitted to Wuqing through two layers of cloth, and his eyes were covered with a layer of faint, barely noticeable sadness.
The world seems to be always like this nowadays. Good people don't live long, but bad people can live a long time. There are very few beautiful things worth staying in, but most of them end in such a regrettable way. How sad it is.
Mrs. Luo is so kind-hearted, and these children are so adorable, why can't they have a good ending? It's just like this... It's so sad and heartbreaking.
Wuqing looked up at the black and white nun standing at the back. She seemed to have consumed a lot of energy and no longer had much strength to support her disguise.
His gaze shifted slightly downwards, fixed on the hole where the nun had been forcibly cut open and all her internal organs had been emptied out, leaving only bones and broken flesh.
He wondered if this kind of cruel pain was experienced when he was alive, or...
The nun in black and white seemed to have sensed what he was thinking at the moment. She gave a stiff smile, and the long cracks on her face moved.
She seemed to be saying: Don't be sad, the past is over.
Wuqing looked away in a somewhat wolfish manner.
He had no intention of glancing at the past of Madam Luo and these children. It must have been extremely cruel and bloody, and it was a nightmare and despair that they would never want to recall again.
They were unable to fight and resist when they were alive, but they gained strength and liberation after death. Seeing these children laughing so happily, he, an outsider, couldn't help but feel happy too.
If I can keep doing this, it would be nice to become a fierce ghost.
...Ms. Luo should be thinking so.
Suddenly, the ruthless children gathered around and started arguing with each other, and no one knew what the argument was about.
Even their quarrels are cute.
In the end, the children who could not agree on a single thing all looked at Wuqing, who did not understand what they were saying and looked confused. What they meant was—
What do you think?
The ruthlessness facing the children's eager gaze:...
He looked at the black and white nun who was watching with a smile, and for the first time ever, he showed an expression as if asking for help.
