Chapter 292 Chapter 292
"This is such an unexpected discovery! Maybe there is some connection between the other world and our world. Similar characters represent similar cultures. Do you know the theory of parallel worlds? Maybe this is the reason..." Hannah was still muttering to herself, and she began to stuff things she thought were valuable into her backpack.
This was allowed. After learning from Lord Kerret that she was going to another world, she asked if she could bring back some "souvenirs", and Lord Kerret agreed.
There is only one prerequisite, that is, after these things are brought back, they need to be inspected by the cult to make sure they are not dangerous monsters.
As long as it is not dangerous, she can be allowed to keep the things she obtains privately.
"Damn it, my backpack can't hold so many things, I have to take them back, and I hope the house can go with it..." Hannah was still muttering, "Yes, all the space in the house can be filled. Bryce, do me a favor, get down from here!"
She was going to take a brick back to investigate its contents.
Bryce looked behind Hannah with a hint of fear in his eyes: "Okay...if it agrees."
Hannah realized something. She quickly dropped what she was holding and dodged to the side. At the same time, the floating book beside her also flew over. Several rays of light flew out of her book and cut towards the direction behind her like a sharp blade.
The blade of light passed over the opponent's head, and the black hair flew.
Hannah was startled when she saw the other person's face, but when she looked down from the other person's face, her face turned pale with fright.
The woman in front of him was about eighteen or nineteen years old, in the prime of her youth. She had a fair and clean face, rosy lips, and black eyes that were like two beautiful black pearls. The girl had a slight smile on her lips. She stood at the corner leading to the second floor, looking at them indifferently.
But starting from the neck down, it’s a little hard to look at.
The girl had a thin figure, with a very obvious collarbone and a thin chest. She was not wearing anything, but she didn't need to wear anything.
The chest area that should have been covered by clothes was split open vertically like the mouth of some monster, revealing densely packed fangs and worms inside. This ferocious and huge mouth opened all the way to the sides of the body and split down to below the waist.
All the places that girls need to cover with clothes are covered by this big, open mouth.
Two clean legs that looked normal.
If it is willing to put on a skirt, maybe it can pretend to be an ordinary girl.
"...This is not something strange from our world." Hannah said in fear.
Bryce also felt dizzy, and his emotions were even more excited than Hannah: "This thing is not even recorded in the weird live broadcast picture book!!"
"Ga ga——" The girl's rosy mouth opened, making a series of strange noises, and then it moved.
One of the girl's legs stood on the ground, and the other was raised to the side. When it was level with the upper body, the big mouth also turned over. Then the next second, the girl's body turned over on all fours in an extremely twisted posture, with her head tilted and her eyes rolled up.
It was like a giant spider, with its belly up and its huge mouth wide open, crawling towards Hannah and Bryce.
"F, F, Fu*k——" Bryce cursed at everyone until he trembled, then turned and ran.
Regardless of what level of danger this thing belongs to, just seeing this horrifying scene will take a lifetime to heal.
It was so scary that my sanity almost went out.
"God, God bless us!" Hannah cried loudly.
Her book automatically turned two pages, and glowing words flew out from it, swirling around Bryce and Hannah. Just then, the monster had caught up with Hannah, and its sharp long tongue reached out to Hannah's neck, but was immediately bounced away after touching the glowing words.
Hannah hid behind a half-stone wall, breathing lightly.
"It attacked actively and very quickly, but it didn't break my defense," Hannah said. "Between C and B."
"...I can actually get to B." Bryce tightened his grip on the battle axe in his hand. He was hiding not far from Hannah. "Well, at least it's not A."
Although B is dangerous, it is not a fatal situation.
If it's A, then shout out the divine name of Master Kairet now.
"I am the priest of the Seko Cult." Bryce raised his battle axe, "Hannah, if we return alive, I will be the priest of Ginya."
Kenya has entered the top ten regions in the US economic rankings.
It is also the only region among the top ten richest regions that does not have a priest.
The Seko Cult adheres to the principle of first come, first served. Whoever becomes a priest first gets to choose the area of office first.
After this operation, he and Hannah will both become priests, and the territories they will be responsible for can only be chosen through discussion.
The number of priests in the Seko Cult has long exceeded ten, but not all of them are interested in wealthy areas. Some priests chose their hometowns, some settled in places close to the headquarters, and some hoped to be in a quieter place, so they chose a more remote area with a livable environment.
"Whatever, I'm not interested in that place," Hannah replied. "Here it comes!"
The strange girl crawled over on all fours. Bryce took a deep breath, clenched his arms, and his muscles swelled quickly, making his physique twice as big. Bryce roared and rushed out with his fists clenched.
As he rushed out, several rays of light flew out from Hannah's book and hit Bryce, increasing his strength and speed by another two points.
Relying on his own abilities, with Hannah's cooperation and the bonus of the powerful monster weapon, Bryce chopped the weird girl's neck with an axe.
The next second, the strange head fell to the ground and rolled away.
Bryce breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when he thought he was done, Hannah's voice rang out: "That's not its weakness - watch your back, idiot -!"
Bryce's pupils shrank and he heard the whistling of the wind in his ears. When he raised his axe and turned to block, the huge mouth had already approached and bit Bryce's left shoulder.
The monster came close to Bryce, and because of this, Bryce saw two spinning things in the monster's huge, split mouth, among those densely packed worm-like things that would make people suffer from claustrophobia. Those were the monster's eyes.
The girl's head is just a decoration for seduction; this huge mouth is the truly important organ of weirdness.
Its head is hidden in here.
Bryce cursed fiercely and chopped the monster with his axe. However, once the monster attacked its prey, it would not stop until it had bitten the opponent to death. No matter how big the cut Bryce made on the monster's body, it bit Bryce's shoulder hard and refused to let go, and it kept squirming, trying to swallow Bryce whole.
"Hehe..." The girl rolling on the ground laughed.
Just when Bryce thought that this was the end, Hannah came, opened the mouth of a potion bottle, and threw the potion into the crack of the monster's open mouth.
Dark purple mucus dripped into the weird mouth, smoke suddenly rose, and Bryce could hear the sizzling sound of the weird mouth being corroded.
"Aiya——" Strangely let go.
Bryce took this opportunity to step back, gritted his teeth, took out a bottle of healing medicine from his bag, bit open the cork with his teeth, and poured it all onto his wound.
The bloody wound, where you could almost see the bones, healed in the blink of an eye.
"Fortunately, we made preparations in advance." Bryce said with emotion.
"Feel it, Lord God." Hannah walked forward and glanced at him. "Both the corrosive agent and the healing agent that saved your life were given by Lord Kailet."
"After I get out alive, I will remember to pray to God."
The strange howling gradually stopped, and it turned its body sideways and stared vigilantly at the two preys in front of it.
"Now... for the glory of the gods, please become the new sacrifice."
Two followers of the Seker Cult said in unison.
*
In a house in the center of town.
Jenny, wearing thick clothes and wrapped in a blanket, sat by the fire with Flynn.
But her expression was always absent-minded, and I didn't know what she was thinking about.
After a while, she came to her senses and asked Flynn: "What time is it?"
Flynn was almost asleep, but he woke up with a start after hearing her words. He raised his wrist and took a look: "Hmm... 3:10 p.m."
"There's no point in looking at the watch." Flynn pulled his arms back into the quilt. "Before you came, I looked at the watch once. It was 3:08 in the afternoon."
However, when Jenny arrived here, the time she and he sat in front of the fire was definitely more than ten minutes.
The time here is very wrong.
"Tony hasn't come back yet. Has he found Sarah and Paul?" Jenny worried. "Paul is very timid. He must have been waiting for us in the tent. The temperature outside is more than 20 degrees below zero. The tent can't keep out the cold at all..."
After saying that, she stood up and said, "No, I'll go look for it too."
"Don't go!" Flynn immediately grabbed her wrist. "What if you get lost? The space in this world is very chaotic. You know, if you go there, you may not be able to come back. Even if you really find them, you can't find the way back."
"At least I can bring some thick clothes. If Tony doesn't find them, I might find them as soon as I get there. Without thick clothes, they will probably freeze to death."
Flynn's lips moved slightly. He wanted to say that if that was the case, they would have been frozen to death after so long.
The dead are not worth the risk for the living.
"I won't go." Flynn loosened his hand, wrapped himself in the quilt, and stared at the fire. "No matter what you say to me, I won't go. Don't forget that there are strange things outside."
"I know." Jenny said lightly.
She and Sarah have been friends since childhood. In high school, Sarah met Tony and fell in love with him. Jenny also met Tony through this, and then the three of them entered the same university.
Flynn and Paul knew each other in college.
Flynn is willing to play with them, be crazy with them, and help them when they encounter difficulties, just like when Tony needs to go to town to find an axe to clear the way, he is willing to go with him.
But faced with the low temperature and snow, the unpredictable chaotic space, and the weirdness of wandering outside, he was unwilling to risk his life to look for someone, and Jenny could understand that.
"If they come back, just say... I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon," Jenny said to Flynn.
Flynn nodded but didn't look at her. He didn't dare to look for his friends. He felt a little guilty, especially when neither Tony nor Jenny blamed him. He felt very ashamed, but he didn't have the courage to stand up.
Just as Jenny was packing her luggage and about to go out, a familiar female voice came from outside the door: "It's so cold... Jenny, I'm so cold..."
"Sarah?" Jenny said excitedly. She rushed to the door and wanted to open it. "Is that you? You're back? I'll open the door now!"
But when she tried to open the door handle, it didn't move at all, as if it was welded shut.
"Sarah? Wait, I'll open the door right away." Jenny shouted again.
But the sound outside the door had disappeared.
After several unsuccessful attempts to open the door, Jenny lowered her head to check the lock and the crack in the door, and then she found a green branch in the crack.
"You'd better not open the door." A childish voice sounded behind me.
Jenny and Flynn both turned their heads suddenly and saw a young boy sitting cross-legged on the staircase. He held his chin with one hand and his long ponytail hung over his shoulders.
"If you let that thing in, it will eat you," said Mang Tao.
Although now he has been scared away.
