Chapter 16: Like this, Carroll's heart knot is so unraveled?
"We stand here, with our feet tightly against the earth, but the universe may be very close to us, perhaps not far from our heads?"
This is a passage engraved on the back of the eye-shaped badge that Lin Tianxiang took off his chest after defeating the crazy priest.
After all, this priest is just an ordinary clergyman in the church. Even if his combat power exceeds that of ordinary people, he can only be killed instantly when facing three world-class strong men.
When he fell down, his clothes crawled out of dense slugs.
Lin Tianxiang was fine, but when the two girls saw this disgusting mollusc, they felt very physically uncomfortable and forced Lin Tianxiang out of the laboratory.
However, there are bottles and jars with countless eyeballs in the laboratory, and there is nothing worth exploring.
"The eyes represent the real universe... Is the Taboo Witch trying to broaden your horizons and strengthen the connection with the universe through experiments... Does that guy want to get in touch with the ancient god?" Lin Tianxiang's speculation was undoubtedly correct, but everyone could not understand what the Taboo Witch's purpose was to do this.
Could it be...Is it that I want to send the reborn ancient god (the ancient god they investigated) back to the universe?
Then what benefits can she get?
"...Let's go back quickly." Carroll urged, frowning, "This is the most disgusting place I've ever seen."
However, even after leaving the sanatorium and going outside, the scenery that everyone saw was another level of hell on earth.
The town was full of flesh and blood corpses, and the carriages overturned on the streets, and several orc-like residents were frantically gnawing on the horse's bodies.
"Let's go find the mayor first." The three of them lowered their bodies and sneaked towards the mayor's residence.
Along the way, they also saw the bodies of many tourists being tied to wooden stakes and burned to death. The burnt smell emitted by the corpse spread around the town.
The hunters carefully selected for the hunting night, they held torches and blunt weapons and patrolled the streets. However, this time, the targets they hunted were living humans.
"It seems that we have been in the dream for too long, and the reality has passed at least a week...
"During this period, the residents of Yorktown did not say everything, at least most people, especially hunters, began to gradually become beastly and began to massacre normal people."
This is the real hunting night. It is not the same level as what I saw before. If the previous hunting night rating was 16 prohibited, this time it would be 18 prohibited.
"This is simply reduced to a real hunting city." Carroll gasped, and she felt the horror brought by the forbidden witch for the first time. "She must be stopped, otherwise London... no, the whole of England is the same as Yorktown!"
"Calm down, Carol." Lin Tianxiang pressed the girl's shoulder, "She has reappeared the pervert of the Middle Ages Black Death. We have no chance of winning now, not to mention that she may have a connection with the ancient god."
Since the butcher was dealt with, this guy has been rushing around like a headless fly, and he is completely less calm and calm than he should have.
As a detective, her obsession with living to this day became confused with the death of the butcher. Lin Tianxiang was not incomprehensible. Florence's idea might be correct. Give Carroll some time and space, maybe she could get out by herself.
However, now is not the time to think about life. As she said, if this continues, not only Yorktown, but also the entire UK and even the world will be in disaster. Their strength has been greatly weakened, and Carroll is also an indispensable and important combat force. If Carroll cannot overcome his inner demons now, they have no chance of winning this battle.
"But, I..."
"Give me a good time to stop."
Carroll's collar was grabbed by Yan Yurou.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianxiang did not come forward to stop it, but just swallowed back what he originally wanted to say.
"Don't be like a child, Carol." Yan Yurou pulled Carol in front of her, and their faces were almost pressed together. "Just be confused because of this little thing? You, who call yourself a "pair of justice", are nothing more than that."
This sentence undoubtedly stepped on Carol's tail, put his hands into his pocket of the coat, and did not break free, "Ha, don't compare me with you. What do you know?"
"I only know that elementary school students understand one truth. If a goal is achieved, then replace it." Yan Yurou let go of Carol, without any emotion in her cold eyes. "I don't care what kind of past you have, nor do you care about your thoughts. But now you are useless and will only hinder your master. It's still time to leave now."
Finding out the murderer and avengeing his parents is the purpose of Carroll's detective, and it is also the truth she will spend her whole life looking for. However, when the truth is revealed and when the murderer is solved personally, Carroll only feels inexplicable emptiness and distracting thoughts in his heart.
Change your goal and continue to struggle... That's right, but it's too difficult for her to do it. This is different from the primary school students who work hard to get their beloved toys and finally get what they want.
What she gives is childhood and youth.
The truth she had been trying to find, but in the end she didn't expect the truth was just a ridiculous accident.
Carroll began to wonder if everything he had given made sense.
"Is there any meaning? I won't you know in the future?"
Lin Tianxiang's sudden words made Carol come back to his senses. She withdrew her gaze from Yan Yurou, and looked at the boy who was smiling.
"Life is still long, there are so many things to enjoy, more and more games, more and more interesting anime... These are things we deserve to look forward to. You shouldn't give up more beautiful things just because of the confusion in your heart, right?
"If you still feel that you have lost your goal, then let me guide you in the future." Lin Tianxiang unconsciously planted a flag on Carol again.
Although he knew that Lin Tianxiang expressed his meaning was different from that, Carroll was a girl after all, and his face immediately turned red when the boy said this.
"You, you, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know very well what I am talking about." Lin Tianxiang nodded seriously, "Of course, the premise is that we can still go out alive. So, before I fulfill my promise to you, at least solve the problem in front of me."
"Why are you still standing there? You are still far from the mayor's place."
Carroll instantly returned to his former appearance, speeding up like a chicken blood, and suddenly exceeded the two of them several positions.
"Ho, woman."
