Chapter 77 – The Dog Sees the Heart
Chapter 77 – The Dog Sees the Heart
Watching Shirley coming towards his side in a murderous rage, Duncan just couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that this trouble is really going to fall on his head in the end.
He wasn’t too nervous, although in all fairness he knew he had almost no combat experience and the girl in front of him looked like a strong woman who could have been placed in Chang Ban Po seven times over, but he wasn’t panicked at all.
First of all, he has a pigeon that specializes in delayed decapitation, Ai’s ability is instantaneous within the area of influence, and is activated faster than a gun, and Shirley really swings her dog over for fear that she’ll be defeated by the pigeon with a high ping in mid-air, and then die by dropping her bag.
Secondly, he is in control of a spiritual flame that is effective against all extraordinary things, and this fire can even be controlled by the Lost Country ship, so the Profound Hound in front of him is not more difficult to deal with than a bunch of demons on the Lost Country ship, right? The big deal is a flame possessed wrapped around the whole body, and then it is his area of expertise: girl, I see you this dog and I have a fate ……
Lastly, and most importantly – this body wasn’t his original body anyway.
At this moment, what he is using is just an avatar, although from the physiological point of view, this avatar seems to be alive, but in essence, “it” is still just a corpse driven by the power of the ghost, Duncan does not need this body to maintain the physiological integrity of the body to drive it to move, just like the previous in the sewers, the loss of the heart and still be able to move Like the previous “incarnation” in the sewers that lost its heart and was still able to move, Duncan only needed the body to “exist” so that he could continue to use it.
He even suspected that even if his current incarnation was dismantled, he could still control it to go home in batches …….
The only thing he had to worry about was how to explain to Nina about her uncle’s amazing bones when he went back in case he was smashed by one of Shirley’s meteor hounds and broke his entire body ……
He just stood here blithely, watching with good grace as the girl in the black dress came to him, watching the black chain in the other party’s hand sway in mid-air while the strangely terrifying Phantom Hound took elusive steps and slowly followed his master around.
Because of the previous fierce battle, the girl’s arms and cheeks were stained with quite a lot of blood, which completely destroyed the quiet and well-behaved feeling she gave off at the beginning, and instead, it was as bizarre and dangerous as possible.
“You’re not afraid, there’s really something strange,” Shirley stopped two or three meters in front of Duncan, frowning at the “Sun Believers” in front of her, while her right hand had already slowly raised without moving, “Is it giving up resistance? “He’s giving up resistance.”
Duncan thought for a moment, “Would you believe me if I said I wasn’t with them?”
As he said this, he rubbed his fingers in his pocket without moving, letting the illusory spirit flames slowly travel between his clothes and skin to prevent the girl from bashing someone with a dog at the drop of a hat.
Shirley was stunned for a moment, a “you’re fucking kidding me” expression slowly appearing on her bloodstained face, “You think I ……”
Before her words fell, the Profound Hound that was following her suddenly spat out human words, a hoarse, low voice coming from its skeletonized throat, “I believe it.”
“Ah …… ah?” Shirley looked at her summon in shock, “Dog did you just hit your brain? This ……”
“Just wait a minute,” the spectral hound shook his head, then stepped to the side as Duncan looked on woodenly, stretched his neck out, “Vom-“
An exceptionally loud vomiting sound echoed in the bloodstained basement, this horrible demon from the Profound Deep Sea turned over on the spot, spitting out countless choking and pungent black flames, ashes, and pitch-black filth as if it were an acidic liquid, and the steel-reinforced concrete floor was corroded by those pollutants and hissed, and dented down in the blink of an eye.
Duncan watched this scene with a blank face, pondering in his heart whether he had grasped the shortcomings of this “Shirley’s” combat power – although this girl is strong, ruthless, and her combat style is strange and difficult to defend, she is obviously not good at long-lasting combat.
The key lies in her fighting style, people can stand, but the dog can not stand.
So the atmosphere of the scene was so awkward for two or three minutes, and when the vomiting of that Profound Hound finally calmed down gradually, Duncan couldn’t help but probe and look at it, “…… Are you okay?”
That dog immediately lowered its head, its skeletal coiled tail tightly clamped to its crotch: “I am grateful for your concern, and I hope I have not defiled your eyes with my rudeness, do you see what else you command? If there is nothing else we will leave first ……”
Duncan hadn’t even reacted to what was going on with the dog yet, but Shirley exclaimed first, “Dog are you really alright? I really hit your head just now? You usually don’t talk to humans so politely, there’s no one standing across from you who can still keep their mother after ten seconds ……”
Duncan was vaguely responsive by now, and his eyes grew deep as he suddenly looked over at the ferocious and terrifying-looking spectral hound.
According to the words he heard from the Sun God’s official, this “giant dog” in front of him is a kind of demon summoned from the deep sea, regardless of the so-called Annihilation Sect, and regardless of what kind of strange things are in the deep sea, why it can summon a dog, at least one thing is very obvious:
This “dog” is afraid of himself, this demon from the deep sea, it …… probably has a different “vision” from ordinary human beings. “Do you know who I am?” Duncan spoke faintly, “Do you recognize me?”
“Don’t know, don’t know,” the Profound Hound didn’t even raise his head, “really don’t know …… but you must be a big person, this is no doubt …… “
Duncan frowned and asked again, “I don’t look like a human to you, do I?”
The Phantom Hound hesitated for a moment, and it looked up at Duncan with divided caution before hesitantly saying, “Are you …… like …… or not like it… …”
Duncan withdrew his gaze and looked aside at Sherry.
The black-skirted girl was looking this way in disbelief – she had finally put away her initial hostility, and replaced it with a strong sense of dismay and wariness.
This girl’s character seemed a bit reckless, but obviously not stupid, after her “pet dog” continuously showed such abnormal reactions, even the most reckless character would calm down at this time, and began to notice that something was wrong.
She quietly tightened the chain between her and the Profound Hound, while not moving, she took half a step back and carefully surveyed Duncan: “You just said that you’re not with them …….”
“Yeah,” Duncan spread his hands, “In case you don’t believe me, I’m also blending in for information ……”
“I believe it.” Shirley said dryly.
This time it was Duncan’s turn to be a bit surprised, he suddenly realized that this girl brought his impression has been changing, at first from the appearance of looking at him thought the other party is a quiet and well-behaved child, the result is that she showed a violent and bloody side, just now he thought the other party is a reckless one tendon, but the result is that now this is due to the situation to move to borrow the slope of the recognition of the speed of the speed of the faster than he imagined even faster… …
What kind of family must this be to be able to raise such a child?
With odd thoughts turning in his mind, Duncan was at the same time a little unresponsive to this overly dry attitude of the other party, he fixed his mind before organizing his question, “Just now during the rally, why did you look at me twice in a row.”
“It was Dog who kept looking at you,” Sherry answered a little reluctantly, but still cooperated honestly, “I just followed and looked at you twice in curiosity ……”
“Dog? Is that it?” Duncan frowned and swept a glance at the pitch-black skeleton hound, “I just heard that cleric mention the Cult of Annihilation – it’s a church that worships the Profound Deep? What do you have to do with this Cult of Annihilation?”
“I have nothing to do with them!” Sherry immediately said, with an extraordinarily emphatic tone, “It’s their business that they worship the Profound Deep Sea, Dog and I met for other reasons!”
Duncan’s eyes fell on the chains between the girl and the Phantom Hound.
According to the information he had just received, worshipping the Profound Sea, being able to summon demons from the Profound Sea, and borrowing the power of demons to use “magic spells” to fight under normal circumstances seemed to be the characteristics of the “Annihilation Cult”, and that Sun God official was also the reason why he had summoned the Profound Hound from Shirley. The Sun God’s official also made this judgment because of Shirley’s summoned Profound Hound – although he suffered a heavy blow from the Flying Dog Meteor Hammer because of his misjudgment, Duncan believed that at least under “normal circumstances”, this information should be fine.
The only problem was the strange girl in front of him.
She seemed very resistant to being associated with cultists – even though she had a hound from the deep.
“It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t matter,” Duncan shook his head and asked again, “So why are you here and what are you investigating?”
Shirley pursed her lips, she didn’t seem too keen on answering the question, yet the constant signals of tension released by the hound next to her made her realize that the plain looking middle-aged man in front of her was feared to be dangerous in the extreme, and that she’d better cooperate with the other party.
“I ……”
Shirley opened her mouth, however, the moment she opened her mouth, a popping sound suddenly exploded in the basement, and a blazing ball of fire suddenly flew over from the side!
