The troops are divided into two groups

468

The big golden retriever pushed hard against the bushes above his head and struggled to get out of the hole in the fence.

Susie looked around warily, then lowered her head, licked her paw hair, and bit off a small tuft.

It checked its body again, turned around a few times, and carefully observed its own shadow.

"Well, I'm still a dog, I haven't turned into a human..."

It breathed an extremely humane sigh of relief, checked the leather bag on its chest, and quickly ran outside the manor.

Susie ran quickly, crossing the ditch and the wide road for carriages, crossing the wild flowers on the roadside and the odd pedestrians coming and going, and went straight to the Church of Storms, which was located in the bustling area of ​​the northern city.

However, as it ran, Susie discovered more and more people whose appearance and clothing did not match their behavior. It cautiously entered the northern urban area. The situation not only did not improve, but also intensified.

Most people wouldn't pay attention to a dog running around. What's more, Susie is wearing a small necklace with gold-rimmed glasses and carrying a small leather bag. Her golden hair is soft and shiny, and she looks very polite. At first glance, she is a breed of dog carefully raised by a wealthy family.

It's not a wild dog, and no one will notice it.

In this way, Susie carefully walked through the loopholes in the rules of "identity confusion" and moved forward.

While passing through a park, it gradually stopped, pretending to be an ordinary dog, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail, and ran around in the surrounding flower beds and grass.

A large group of people with different identities ran strangely towards a specific direction, as if something was calling them there.

Susie followed carefully while pretending to be an ordinary dog, falling far behind, watching them rush to somewhere, constantly pushing and squeezing each other, causing many stampedes.

But the advancing crowd did not stop, and the trampled people kept trying to crawl forward instead of saving themselves. This strange scene made Susie feel a little uneasy. But soon, they stopped in the distance, motionless, and

Without saying a word, he fell into a deathly silence, and the road ahead was blocked tightly with three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Woof."

Susie restrained herself from imitating human behavior, put her front paws on the roadside, and walked around curiously for a few times.

It instinctively felt that this might have something to do with the current anomaly, but it did not approach rashly because it knew that it was an animal, because it knew that there must be a huge danger hidden there, and it would most likely remain motionless after approaching.

After watching for a moment, Susie wagged her tail and continued running towards the Tidal Church of the Storm Church, which was already within easy reach.

Just as it passed a corner, Susie suddenly braked and hid in the shadow of the wall, her eyes widening in disbelief.

It saw a strange person standing in front of it, or in other words, a group of strange people. This group of people were wearing white coats like doctors. They were sitting together on their knees with dull expressions, their upper bodies leaning forward, and their hands constantly moving.

, seem to be working together to do one thing.

Susie just glanced at it and immediately turned her head, because as a dog, she smelled a strange smell with her keen sense of smell.

This small corner was dark and oppressive, and a cold air lingered. This thick and strange smell could not be dissipated even if there was ventilation around it, because there was a source.

Susie rarely smelled this smell, but her reason told her that it was the smell of rotting meat, and it was the smell of rotting meat for a long time.

These doctors surrounding a piece of rotting flesh?

The big golden retriever can't control his curiosity, and he doesn't dare to get close for fear of possible danger.

Suddenly, it thought of a way.

It ran towards a puddle of water, looked into its own eyes in the water, and used "hypnosis" on itself:

"In the next half minute, you will forget your identity, your sequence and all mystical knowledge, tightly converge all your spirituality, and become an ordinary dog."

"In the next half minute, you should naturally pass by this corner and look over there naturally."

"Just take a look, then leave, go back to the corner and hide."

"These instructions will take effect as soon as I close my eyes."

Then, Susie took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

The psychological suggestion and hypnosis it gave itself immediately started to work. After a few seconds, it opened its eyes, looked around suspiciously, and put the tip of its nose close to the ground, sniffing back and forth on the ground, looking for its owner Audrey.

taste.

But there was no smell of the owner around, nor any smell of other humans that it was familiar with. After turning in circles a few times, the golden retriever turned its head according to its own psychological hints, ran out of the shadow where it was hiding, and took small steps.

He ran to the corner ahead.

When passing by the corner, the golden retriever smelled an unpleasant smell. It subconsciously looked at the strange group of doctors, stretched its neck as if to find out the source, lowered its head slightly, and moved forward while sniffing.

After walking a few steps, his front paws stepped into the boundary between light and dark in the corner.

The dull-looking doctors in white coats suddenly turned their heads and stared at Susie, who was five or six meters away.

Susie, who was just an ordinary dog, was startled by this scene. She took two steps back in response, barked loudly, backed up while barking, and finally backed out of the corner and ran away into the distance.

After passing a corner, Susie suddenly stopped and closed her eyes.

When it opened its eyes again, a human "thinking" expression appeared on its face again.

It looked back to confirm that it had passed that corner, so it chose a sunny corner to sit down and began to recall everything it had just seen.

Five doctors in white coats.

In their hands they hold needles and transparent thread.

This kind of line seems to be used for fishing. Audrey saw others using it when she took it to experience rural life a few days ago.

They gathered around a piece of rotting meat.

No, not a piece of rotten meat, but a pile of rotten meat.

They're taking this rotten meat...

Sew together.

Susie suddenly opened her eyes.

The canine instinct made it subconsciously tuck its tail when encountering incomprehensible horror, and place its ears close to its head. It almost wanted to jump up, and then ran back to the castle to inform Audrey of the news - because Audrey was

He can speak, but he cannot tell the Church of Storms this news!

Not even members of the Church of Hypnosis Storm can do it, because the Church will definitely pursue the source of this information, and their own hypnosis will definitely not be able to block the Church’s psychological suggestions. If one of Miss Hall’s dogs is found to be mouthing human words, then he will

Totally exposed.

"Sealed object, this time the sealed object must be out of control."

Susie walked around anxiously, with her tail between her legs, carefully recalling everything she had just witnessed.

"There was something lying next to the pile of rotting flesh."

"Round, flat, like a mirror."

"That mirror is an out-of-control sealed object? Well, it affects people in the city, confusing their identities, being controlled by it, and stitching together a ruined corpse?"

From Hall Castle to the northern urban area, everything is within the scope of this sealed artifact. According to the church classification that Susie knows, this should be a terrifying level 1 sealed artifact!

"No, we can't go back to find Audrey now. If Audrey can't come out, it will be a waste of time if I go back!"

Its only advantage in this accident is that it is not a human, but an extraordinary animal. As an animal, others will naturally relax their vigilance against it, and it can also escape the influence of most sealed objects aimed at humans.

After thinking about this clearly, Susie immediately continued to run towards the Tide Church.

After turning a sharp corner in a hurry, a series of loud sounds suddenly came from the street ahead, and the sky also turned dark.

Dark clouds, thunder and lightning?

Susie still remembered the occult knowledge she had learned, and was suddenly happy - the people from the Church of Storms began to take action!

…

Hall family castle.

Audrey sat in her bedroom, trying to keep her mood calm, and praying that Susie could bring the church people smoothly.

However, in these short ten minutes, Audrey suddenly heard the footsteps outside the door becoming denser, and the sound of the door opening and closing. It seemed that many people were walking out of the room, constantly walking in the corridor and

Walking on the stairs.

However, among such dense footsteps, no one spoke.

Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she quickly gave herself two "comforts" and performed a "psychoanalysis" to stabilize her state and maintain her ability to think rationally.

She was still wearing riding clothes that made it easier to move around. She stood up carefully and tiptoed close to the door, wanting to hear the sounds outside.

Just when she was only two or three meters away from the door, there was a sudden knocking on the door.

"Audrey?" Someone called her name outside the door. The voice seemed so abrupt among the dense footsteps, "Audrey, the afternoon tea is almost cold. I ended my official duties early today and am waiting for you on the balcony.

It’s been a long time.”

Audrey was shocked - she had asked Hibbert before when he would have time to have afternoon tea with her, chat, and gossip about some inside information and surrounding noble families, but why did it happen to be today?

This is her eldest brother, Hibbert Hall...wait, this voice is not Hibbert's!

Hibbert has speaking experience in various public occasions and has participated in many activities of social and government organizations. He has a good eloquence and an excellent voice, but now his voice sounds a little weak and weaker than Hibbert.

A lot, this is a male, but definitely not Hibbert... Audrey felt dense goosebumps on her arms. She rubbed her arms gently, making her voice as lively and lively as usual.

, answered "Hibbert" outside the door:

"Wait for me, dear Hibbert!"

"I just suddenly thought that I would go horse riding next week, so I put on my new riding clothes in advance. It fits me very well."

"I'll change it back now."
