Chapter 020 The Contradiction of Fate
"pain……"
When the effect wore off, Colin felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if he had been tortured to death, but the most painful part was his lower back.
"Hiss... There are so many scoundrels in this world. They either . I must wear a bulletproof vest when I go out next time..."
Colin secretly reached out and rubbed his lower back.
Shaking his head slightly, he quickly extracted useful information from his foresight: "Choosing the 'Sacred Artifact' won't be a big problem... Following the above process, I only need to avoid Lao Liu's sneak attack to identify the mastermind and then kill him."
The misunderstanding was resolved, and the task given by "Probability Investment" was indeed possible and not difficult.
However, the content of this prediction is worth pondering.
For example, was this prediction taken into account in the last prediction?
The last prediction mentioned that he was defeated when fighting the monster outside the door after returning to the church again, but this time the prediction was that he was stabbed to death by Lao Liu...
This is where the conflict arises.
If he had predicted it last time, he would not have died today.
No……
"It seems that this extra task was not mentioned last time. Or is it that the unexpected gold card has brought a change in fate? Or is it that the longer the time span, the worse its effect will be, and it will ignore a lot of things..."
Colin thought thoughtfully.
There does seem to be a problem with "The Book of Numerology: Fragments" in that its predictions become more and more general, lacking in details, and becoming less effective as time goes on.
It seems I need to go back and talk to my colleagues.
Colin collected his thoughts for a moment, and then, seeing that everyone else had made their choices, he picked up an exquisite longbow inlaid with gems.
Just as he touched the longbow, Colin narrowed his eyes and found that there was no gem on the longbow at all, but a lot of wriggling flesh and blood attached to it.
The aura on his body dissipated the moment he touched it.
At this moment, Colin felt that the world before his eyes suddenly became real.
He truly came into this world.
There was a faint uncomfortable aura in the wooden longbow with flesh and blood attached, trying to flow into his body through his palm. Colin did not refuse...
Because, when these auras rushed into the body, they were immediately swallowed up by the brutality of "beastiality"... What level of person dares to live with it?
After everyone has chosen their equipment.
Colin vaguely felt that the eyes behind him seemed to be real at this moment, full of greed, making him feel uncomfortable.
However, just like what was said in the "Fragments of the Book of Astrology", they showed no signs of taking action.
If Colin didn't take action, he wouldn't be able to follow the clues in advance. If he took the initiative, judging from the other party's current caution, there was a high probability that the clues would be interrupted directly -
Damn it! This old dog behind the scenes clearly has the advantage in numbers, but he is too cautious.
Just then, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps approaching this side in the corridor...
"Your Excellency the Bishop! Something terrible has happened. A wave of monsters is approaching from the south of the town..." A man dressed as a sentinel rushed into the church.
He was covered in blood and looked like he was breathing more than he was breathing out.
Hearing this, the cardinal looked shocked and asked anxiously, "How is Sister Elisa doing now?"
"She...she...Sister Elisa is surrounded by monsters..." After saying that, he closed his eyes, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"What did you say?! The nun is surrounded by monsters!"
Liu Dun rushed forward dragging a long sword covered in blood and flesh. The other people also looked anxious, and it was obvious that they had a good impression of the nun.
"Yes, the situation is urgent. I beg you to come with me to deal with the wave of monsters..." The cardinal said, and suddenly coughed a few times, with blood gushing out from the corners of his mouth.
"What are you doing?" someone asked in confusion.
"I got hurt when I was dealing with the monster wave before, cough cough cough..." As he spoke, he coughed violently a few more times and even coughed up some blood clots that looked like fragments of internal organs.
"Don't worry, we will be the ones to rescue Sister Talisa. Lead the way quickly..."
The yellow-haired "brave man" interrupted the bishop and was the first to stand up.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately expressed their excitement and expressed their desire to go. Having just obtained the "holy weapon" and feeling the powerful force transmitted from it, they couldn't wait to do a big job.
The connection between your scenes is quite good... Ke Lin glanced at the yellow-haired man with a complicated expression, wondering if he was a spy.
Then, without any delay, led by several soldiers, a group of them quickly set off towards the south of the town.
The town is not big and you can see the edge at a glance.
After only a few minutes of travel, they could already see dust rising high into the sky south of the town, and could faintly hear screams and roars of monsters.
On the road, many people were fleeing in panic in the opposite direction.
"This kind of summoning of a 'hero' shouldn't be the first time. There may have been so-called 'heroes' summoned before. The whole process seems to have been done many times and is very familiar..."
Colin held the longbow covered in blood and flesh and glanced at the soldiers leading the way and the panicked residents.
If you look closely, you can see holes in the soles of some residents' shoes, fluid oozing from their knees due to running, and you can faintly hear the sound of bones rubbing against each other. If they were normal people, they would have been in a wheelchair long ago. This is obviously not an injury that can be caused by running just one or two times.
All I can say is that they are all dedicated old tools and actors.
He couldn't help but be curious again, what exactly was the mastermind trying to achieve by doing these playful things?
Thinking of the former colleague who was made into a ritual instrument for worship, and thinking of the body of a clergyman in a red robe among the densely packed corpses in the church... He was a bit similar to the cardinal today.
Could it be that the person behind the scenes also wants to turn them into magical weapons?
By the way, could it be that my former colleague has also taken on this task before?
I just don't know what steps that guy went through before he became a sacrificial tool...
Without time to think, Colin collected his thoughts, stopped, and looked towards the south of the town. In the rolling dust, a large number of disgusting monsters with twisted limbs that looked like piles of meat were approaching like a tide.
A strong stench hits the wind ...
However, an invisible air wave was stimulated on the "holy vessel" to block the stench.
"Over there!" Someone pointed, and Colin and the others looked in the direction and saw Sister Elisa and a group of soldiers being forced onto the city wall by a large number of deformed monsters.
At this moment, she was emitting a white light like the morning sun, blessing the soldiers, and fighting against the hundreds of monsters that were besieging her.
"If you dare to hurt my woman, I will make you know what it means to regret coming into this world!"
When a brave man saw some bloody wounds on Talissa's body, his eyes suddenly turned red with anger. He roared and rushed forward with a battle axe in his hand.
A twisted and hideous monster attacked from the side, but was chopped into two halves by his axe, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
