"How could you... let someone beat you up to become such a virtuous person?"
I stared at Mr. Shen and stuttered a little when I spoke.
Really, having known Mr. Shen for such a long time, I have never seen him injured. The most serious one was when he was chased by the Xuanyuan Sword for thousands of miles. When he came back, he only had his head left, and even his shamanic body had to be reshaped.
But this was the first time I had seen him in such a miserable state. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, as if he had been passed by a dozen big men with baseball bats. I even wondered if he was spying on the widow taking a bath, but her husband found out and gathered her
A group of people were beaten out.
He was a little confused when he was treating Qingqing like this: "Brother Shen Gong, are you okay? I see that your aura is very messy and you can't even hide your own strength. Is this an internal injury?"
"It's a small injury, it's a small injury. You two should stop inking and leave quickly."
Seeing him like that, I was really anxious. He ran over and kicked me: "Where are you looking for chicken feathers? Let's go!"
I stood up and patted my butt: "Are you so anxious?"
"Nonsense, I am followed by hundreds of Tianxin Island pursuers. Three of the so-called bullshit elders are here. They can get here in an hour at most. It doesn't matter if you don't run. You have to think that you can fight one against three.
Then keep it."
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his shirt pocket.
I know this thing, and I have a deep impression on it. When I met Mr. Shen at the foot of Mount Tai, this was what he gave me. It contains Liu Ying's soul.
So when I saw him taking out this thing, my eyes immediately lit up: "What's in this is..."
"That's right, the souls of those people trapped in the restriction."
Shen Niu Niu sneered, then reached out to uncork the bottle.
Countless dark green light spots floated out from the bottle and flew in several different directions.
Half of them floated towards the upper floors of the hotel, where Sophia, the senior officials of the Eastern and Western Holy See, and Zhuoyi's men were lying.
I was stunned: "Damn it, did you take out all their souls?"
Mr. Shen grunted: "Yes, none of them are missing, but some of them have been destroyed physically, and their souls cannot return to their bodies. They can only float and wait for others to save them."
However, it’s okay for Sophia and the others to still have their physical bodies. At most, their soul power has been consumed a bit. They will be a little weak when they first wake up, and they will be fine after a period of recovery.”
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry upstairs and have a look."
I yelled and rushed towards the elevator, but Mr. Shen caught me and said, "Did you have donkey hair stuffed in your ears? Didn't you hear me say that Tianxin Island's pursuers will be here soon?"
"If you can't arrive, I have to explain the matter first before running away. Otherwise, won't all my previous efforts be in vain?"
I patted his hand: "Relax, let me go and say a few words to Sophia. Why are you panicking? St. Petersburg is the headquarters of the Orthodox Church. The huge Holy See cannot stop three elders and more than a hundred demon guards."
?”
Duke Shen sneered again: "Humph, damn, Rome is still the headquarters of the Holy See. Wasn't it almost wiped out?"
"Okay, Brother Shen Gong, let him go."
Qingqing began to speak for me: "After struggling in Europe for so long, he will definitely not be willing to let Gu Yan give up like this. It should be too late for us to leave as soon as possible after saying a few words."
As soon as Qingqing opened her mouth, Shen Gong stopped being stubborn with me: "Okay, then you can go, but if the pursuers arrive early and trap you in St. Petersburg, don't look for me."
"Well, don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible."
I don’t want to take the elevator anymore, I said as I rushed towards the stairs.
But at that time I was still a little bit embarrassed.
Shen Gong just insisted on leaving now, but Qingqing's attitude softened after just one word. This is definitely not because Qingqing can speak better than me. In addition, before he left, and Qingqing's state just now, I always feel that these two
What are you hiding from me?
But now is not the time to think about this. The most important thing is to explain things clearly as soon as possible.
When I rushed to the door of Sophia's room, I found that the door was open.
Sofia seemed to have just opened her eyes, and was still a little confused at the moment. Next to her, another Orthodox saint was asking something in surprise, just asking her how she felt, what happened, and so on.
Sophia didn't respond, just looked at her blankly.
When she saw my face, her gaze became a little more solid: "Gu Yan? You finally showed up. Are you here to kill me too?"
Her words shocked me for a moment.
But he quickly realized that Sophia had just come out of the confinement not long ago, and she had not yet changed her mind from encountering those illusions.
I organized my thoughts, walked up to her, and patiently explained to her: "No, I am not one of those illusions, you have returned to reality.
I don’t believe it, you told me the same thing the last time I met you.”
As if some not-so-good memories were brought back to her mind, Sophia sat up from the bed and shrank back: "I trust you, but you still stabbed me in the back."
"I stabbed you, so why didn't you die?"
I looked at Sophia for a while, then turned back to look at Mr. Shen standing at the door with doubtful eyes.
Shen Gong replied a little impatiently: "The principle of the formation's operation is somewhat different from what you imagined. It is not to kill people, but to gradually consume people's soul power and make them become part of the formation. I will talk about it when I have time.
Let me explain to you, stop inking and speak quickly."
"Understood."
I nodded and looked back at Sophia: "Did you hear me? I don't have time to explain to you now. I have something to tell you now. I have to leave immediately after I finish speaking. You must listen carefully and don't miss a word.
Keep it in mind."
"You want to leave? Where to go?"
"Back home, the pursuers from Tianxin Island will be here soon. The Orthodox Church is very divided right now. It's not the best time to fight against them. I must go back home first to avoid the limelight."
"You leave, what should I do?"
Sophia suddenly jumped up from the bed: "I just met grandpa. Grandpa has been chasing me. He said that I killed him with you and wanted to punish me. Why did he say these things?"
I had a big head, so I told her casually: "That's an illusion. Don't take what the illusion says seriously."
"Is it just an illusion?"
Sofia raised her head and looked at the saint who was standing next to her: "Angelina, where is my grandfather? Where is he?"
"Patriarch Mikhail..."
"Shut up, I don't have time now!"
Not daring to let Sophia know the truth, the saint named Angelina was rebuffed by me as soon as she opened her mouth, and I said back what she was about to say.
