Chapter 119 The Answer Revealed
My lord, it's not good, another person disappeared last night.
The next morning, before Chen Gou went out, Locke hurried over and yelled outside the door.
Upon hearing this, Chen Gou put on his mask, opened the door and went out.
Go, take me there!
Locke and the butler of the City Lord's Mansion had already asked a dozen guards to line up outside the door, and when they heard the order, they surrounded Chen Gou and walked towards the south of the city.
With so many people, it naturally quickly attracted the attention of passers-by on the road.
Seeing the young city lord and the steward following Chen Gou with a dozen guards, they all consciously moved aside and couldn't help but look at them curiously.
Who is this masked person, even the young city lord and the butler are personally accompanying him?
To be treated like this, he must be a big shot...
What do you know, have you seen that mask? The Silver Knight of the Abyss Knights!
…………
The destination was a grocery store in the south of the city, where a young couple lived, and it was the husband who had the accident.
The grocery store belongs to the layout of the front store and the backyard. When the crowd of onlookers lined up, they entered the backyard and saw a rather pretty woman bowing her head and crying.
Seeing Chen Gou and Locke's group coming, he barely stopped crying, saluted with red and swollen eyes, and then described the situation.
After Chen Gou listened carefully, he walked into the bedroom expressionlessly without saying a word.
According to the wife, it was around four o'clock in the morning when she felt something flash in front of her eyes in her sleep, and then she was awakened.
Because her husband was in poor health and suffered from some kind of bone disease, his bones hurt all the year round, so they slept in separate beds at night.
Worried about what happened to her husband, she got up and went to the bed next to her to check, only to find that her husband was gone.
There are two beds in the bedroom, one against the east wall and one against the west wall, less than three meters apart.
Chen Gou glanced, and immediately raised his brows. The first thing he saw was a few strange black beads lying quietly on the quilt of the bed to the west.
Immediately use the candle pupil to look over the past, and the information obtained is extremely simple.
【Relic: Ordinary Miscellaneous Items】
[Introduction: After a person or animal is purified, the soul ascends, leaving the only trace of the physical body in the world. 】
[Attribute: none. 】
This is not a law item, but an ordinary item like a stone.
But the green candles in the depths of Chen Gou's pupils were flickering, showing that he was not at peace.
Although simple, it hides two important pieces of information.
First, the name Relic, which is a unique title of Buddhism.
Second, purified means that the male host who was lying on the bed has indeed disappeared, and it is in a purified way.
The combination of these two points was enough to convince Chen Gou that the source of the continuous strange events in Wucheng must be related to Buddhism!
What could it be?
If it is just to purify people, I am afraid that many Buddhist forces in the abyss world have this ability, but if you add the ability to mutate people or animals, there should not be many.
Chen Gou pondered for a moment, and asked the hostess to come in, and asked, Think about it carefully, what did you feel flashed in front of you at that time?
The woman was obviously still in the grief of losing her husband, she shook her head and said, I don't know, I really didn't see it, I just felt it was very bright... It's dazzling when I close my eyes, but it disappears in the blink of an eye...
Light!
Dazzling!
Dazzling light!
Purification, relics, dazzling light, mutation... It's very close, just a little bit, just the last bit!
Chen Gou suddenly narrowed his eyes. Every time he made this movement, it meant that his brain was running fast.
Compared to other abyssal knights, Chen Gou had a unique advantage.
That is, there are countless information about demons and ghosts stored in his mind, even those who only know a name and a general idea, and can only determine their real body, which can provide him with great help in completing the task.
Although he certainly wouldn't know all the demons that invaded Canglan, but at least a considerable part of them were included.
What's this?
Chen Gou suddenly looked at the hostess in surprise, and saw that a handkerchief flew in front of her by itself, wiped away her tears, and then gently dabbled on her face, as if to comfort her.
This shit...
Is a handkerchief fine?
Oh, this is the Mist Soul Monster!
Locke quickly explained: There is only one word difference from the fog soul beast. In fact, they all come from the fog soul species. It's just that the fog soul beast that parasitizes in animals is called a fog soul beast, and it parasitizes inanimate objects such as stones, water, and clothes. The ones on it are called Mist Soul Monsters.
The Mist Soul Monster is much weaker than the Mist Soul Beast. Basically, there are very few that exceed level five. Many people in the city like to keep one as a pet. It has the IQ of a three- or four-year-old child... Speaking of which, the Mist Soul Monster is still One of our most famous specialties in Fog City.
Parasitizing on inanimate objects... Isn't this a tool spirit?
Chen Gou felt that this thing was very similar to the legendary weapon spirit that only top-level magic weapons could conceive.
So he asked: Then if they parasitize on the props of the law, wouldn't their strength be amazing?
Mist soul species are too weak and can only parasitize on ordinary animals or things. Law creatures and props are too strong, and they cannot parasitize. At least I have never seen it when I grow up.
Locke seemed to think of something, and suddenly frowned and said, But I heard from my father that there seemed to be a mist soul king who was parasitic on the law weapon of an awakened person. This weapon gained a lot of fame and became a very famous and strong man.
So it is possible for the Mist Soul to parasitize on the law creatures or props?
Chen Gou's heart suddenly became clear, and he felt that he was one step closer to the truth.
But there is one last layer of window paper that hasn't been pierced, and a real eyewitness is needed...
Thinking of this, Chen Gou looked at Locke and asked, Where did the first strange thing happen in Fog City?
Locke was surprised: It's next to... the City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Gou suddenly raised his voice and shouted, Is it next door, or is it in the City Lord's Mansion?!
When... Of course it's next door. Locke's voice became stammered.
Seeing him like this, Chen Gou knew he was lying. He sneered and said, What about your father, the city lord? It's been so long, and I haven't even seen him once. It's a little hard to justify, isn't it?
this……
Locke's face collapsed, and he sighed dejectedly after struggling for a few seconds.
Hey! I didn't expect the Abyss Knight to be so powerful. That's right, the first time it did happen in the City Lord's Mansion, and the one who mutated was my father, the City Lord!
What?
Even the city lord has mutated?
All the people around suddenly changed color in horror and exclaimed again and again.
Only Chen Gou said calmly, Take me to see him.
In fact, at the beginning, he wasn't sure if the city lord had mutated, but he instinctively felt that the city lord had been evading his illness to see that there was something wrong with him... This is very impolite behavior for the abyss knight!
So he took advantage of the opportunity to deceive Locke.
As expected, Locke, the son, couldn't hide the matter, and with a little force, he shook everything out.
We locked my father in the underground prison of the city lord's mansion. There is no way to do this. One is afraid of causing panic in the city, and the other is that... Lord Knight will treat him as a demon. I can guarantee that although my father has mutated, but It's not an act of hurting anyone, it's just getting a little... weird.
What kind of weird method?
Chen Gou followed Locke back to the City Lord's Mansion, entered the underground prison, and heard a voice talking to himself from a distance.
This seat is the great priest of the abyss. Now I canonize my son Locke Bob as the lord of Xingluo Broken Island, and the entire Xingluo sea area is his territory!
No, I am the Pope. I want to move the holy city to Kirishima, so that Kirishima will flourish like never before. From then on, the Bob family of Kirishima will be promoted to the holy clan!
Kirishima cannot decay in my hands. I want to revitalize it and make it ten times, a hundred times more glorious than it was twenty years ago...
Until Chen Gou saw the city lord Colin Bob, he was still talking seriously by himself.
One moment it's the High Priest, another moment it's the Pope, it's almost insane, but all of them have one thing in common - that's to revitalize Kirishima and the Bob family.
Father, this is the Silver Abyss Knight sent by the Holy See. He has something to ask you. Locke said, knocking on the railing.
The city lord's attention was attracted, he glanced at Chen Gou, and immediately snorted coldly: A mere silver knight, why don't you salute me when you see this priest?
Chen Gou said with a half-smile, Do you really want me to salute you?
The aura he felt from the city lord was obviously different from that of the mutated awakened person before. Although the city lord was also crazy, his eyes were not red.
Hey! Don't be offended, I really can't control myself, it seems that another me is controlling my body.
The city lord's tone suddenly changed, and he sighed and said, I can't hold on for long, and it will become like before again. If you have any questions, just ask.
Chen Gou didn't waste any time when he heard it, and cut straight to the point: How did you mutate, and what strange things happened at that time?
The city lord replied: I don't know how it mutated, I just know that a strong light suddenly shot down from the top of my head, and I became like this.
Where did the light come from?
I didn't see it, but after the light disappeared, I saw a box flying away from the corner of my eye. I thought it was just an ordinary mist ghost and didn't care.
Box!
Chen Gou's pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked, What kind of box?
The city lord gestured with his hands: A wooden box of this size looks very old, with strange patterns engraved on the surface, and a faint sandalwood scent...
Wooden box, sandalwood, Buddhism, purification, relics, mutation...
After getting the key information, Chen Gou connected the keywords one by one, and the final answer was ready to come out.
A name came to mind - Buddhist scriptures treasure box!
This is the most important treasure in an old movie. Legend has it that it has the power to predict and even change the future...
