Chapter 441 Internal Conflict
Once Vidaly was gone, everything returned to normal.
Smith and Mickey struggled to get up.
If they had not seen the damaged houses and the corpses of the Scaled People scattered all over the ground, they would not have believed that a fierce battle had ever taken place here.
'Is this the cruelty of the extraordinary world?'
Smith looked at all this and murmured in his heart: "Under the calm reality, there is an incomparable danger hidden."
"Mr. Mentor, please look at my father."
Vivian screamed for help.
Fang Xian walked over, looked at the unconscious Lei Bo, nodded and said: "He is fine, fortunately the transformation process was interrupted, otherwise he really can't turn back into a human... Even so, there should be some sequelae, such as liking sea water, liking to eat seaweed, etc..."
"That's good."
Vivian was so happy that she cried. She looked at her unconscious mother and brother. After checking them, she found that they were fine. She immediately ran upstairs and brought down a file bag. "This is what the person wanted from me just now. It's Spot's diary. I don't understand why Spot needs this diary? It was obviously written by him. There are no secrets from him."
Fang Xian took it casually, sensed the dark power on it, and thought: "Perhaps, what he needs is not the content of the diary, but the diary itself... There is a certain ritual power left on the diary. After a long period of accumulation, the "bad luck" accumulated by the circulation in the hands of different people, even now Spott can hardly make another one exactly the same. And Vidaly, as a descendant of Spott's bloodline, can undoubtedly become rapidly powerful by absorbing the bad luck power in the diary... Or, is this a "trap" that Spott left for Vidaly?"
Although he didn't open it, with a little bit of psychic power, he knew the contents of the diary very well.
"It is better to give this diary to Mr. Instructor for safekeeping."
Vivian stared at Fang Xian in a daze.
Today was the first time she saw her mentor’s true face.
Of course, the same goes for Smith and Mickey.
The reason why Fang Xian exposed himself was that he did not intend to continue being an investigator.
The end is near and time is running out.
He must focus all his energy on the research of important projects such as Hopskindon theocracy.
"The barrier here has been broken, and the anomaly will soon attract investigators..." Fang Xian looked around: "They can leave with me, what are you going to do?"
Vivian was stunned for a moment.
It was only at this point that she opened her mouth and finally thought of how to deal with the aftermath.
"It seems that you are still unwilling to abandon your family and leave alone... Then I will help you hypnotize them and treat today's events as a battle between two groups of pagans for the classics..."
Fang Xian waved his hand: "This can only buy you a certain amount of time. You will still have to make a choice afterwards. After all...contact with supernatural forces itself means danger."
"I see."
Vivian nodded solemnly.
…
Crash.
The white waves beat against the dark cliffs and rocks. This scene begins and repeats over and over again, and it seems to last forever.
With a huge clapping sound.
Vidaly walked into a cave.
This cave is located in the middle of the cliff. The ground is damp and the air is turbid. Some seashells, hermit crabs and other creatures are climbing on the rock walls.
She completely revealed the appearance of a scaly person, and ignored all this. Instead, she felt very comfortable and came to the depths of the cave.
At the end of the cave, there is a green pool, from which the fishy and salty smell of sea water constantly overflows. This spring seems to be directly connected to the sea.
Countless bones can be seen in the pool of water.
Among them, some are from fish, and some are obviously from humans!
They are piled together in a disorderly manner, yet they have a sense of chaotic and asymmetrical beauty, and give people an ancient atmosphere of ritual and sacrifice.
This is an altar!
The altar belonging to the scale people!
Vidaly walked to the edge of the pond, opened her mouth, and chanted a spell using the unique vocal cord structure of the Scale People.
Invisible ripples spread rapidly with the help of the sea water.
Ten minutes later, a black shadow emerged from the bottom of the pond. It seemed to be using the channel connecting to the sea to swim over at the speed of a torpedo.
Crash!
The sea water broke open, and an old scaly man walked out, saying in an ancient and obscure language: "My descendants... you failed... you disappoint me!"
"Spot...we are all servants of the great one. Don't always think of yourself as my ancestor..." Vidali snorted coldly.
"Your bloodline is not pure. You must get my diary before you can perform the purification ceremony and become a true scale man, moving towards antiquity, towards greatness..." Spot said in a charlatan tone.
"I know everything you said... I also know... what you did to my ancestors and the curse of the ocean..." A smile suddenly appeared on Vidali's scaly face.
"you……"
Spot's expression changed as he felt the darkness around him invading him. He half-knelt on the ground in agony, and it seemed as if tangible pain was emanating from his body.
"It seems... the damage Roca has brought to your spiritual body is more serious than I thought... haha..."
Vidali laughed wildly, suddenly rushed forward, opened her mouth wide, revealing her sharp teeth, and bit Spot's shoulder.
puff!
She bit off a piece of flesh and began to chew vigorously. "As expected of a Scaled Person who has entered old age, there is a second method to purify the bloodline besides holding a ceremony, right ?"
"How do you know? Are you going to betray the sea?"
Spot struggled, unable to imagine that this descendant whom he had manipulated would actually set a trap to kill him!
"I have not betrayed you. Big fish eat small fish. This is the food chain of the ocean and the law of nature. It is also allowed for scale people to kill each other and let the stronger ones take the top. Look... The fact that the Deep Sea Elder has not withdrawn his favor is the best proof!"
Vidaly chanted a spell, and the sea suddenly surged, forming a whirlpool.
In the whirlpool, dense swarms of piranhas emerged, the number of which was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
The next moment, the vortex engulfed Spot, and trickles of blood spread out.
"After purifying my bloodline, I will be the new high priest among the Scale People... I will offer sacrifices to the Deep Sea Elder, obtain its permission, and go to the palace of the Great One..."
There was a hint of madness in Vidaly's eyes.
…
"Internal strife? For a half-crazy pagan, it's all too normal..."
Fang Xian closed his eyes and channeled this scene: "Hmm... offering sacrifices to the Elder of the Deep Sea and passing through it to the Palace of the Great One is indeed a way to bypass the surveillance of the Secret Keeper..."
