Chapter 272 – The Human Clock

Chapter 272: The Human Clock
Mochi Mochi was once again sucked into the half-human tall bell, and this time, powerless to resist, he was the one who entered the bell head first.

He himself was nearly two meters tall and had a slender figure. When his head hit the bottom of the clock, most of his body was still hanging out.

“Bang!”

A loud ringing sound was emitted from within the large bell, making people wonder if Mochi Mochi’s head had even smashed through the bell.

However, a human head was still not as hard as a bronze bell.

Mochi Mochi’s limbs twitched a few times before completely ceasing to move.

A few strands of bright red thick plasma flowed out of it, dripping down to the ground in little drops along the black gown on his chest.

Coincidentally, a gust of wind passed through the open window of the clock tower, and the not-so-light-weighted Mochi Mochi was easily blown by this breeze.

His head remained invisible in the brass bell, and his body began to sway from side to side, his limbs hanging in mid-air swaying regularly.

When his body hit the edge of the bronze bell.

“Dang… dang… dang…”

The man made a bell tongue.

The clear and pleasing sound of the bell spread throughout the entire Mill Sail Town. And there was a difference from the somewhat dull bell sound just now.

“Could it be because this bronze bell isn’t stuffed with stuff?” Saul picked up the two coins from the ground and naturally slipped them into his pocket.

This ancient coin was very interesting, if mastered, it would be a really useful life-saving prop to use for Jedi counterattacks.

While picking up the coins, Saul’s right hand was also stuck in his coat pocket.

There was no way, his hand in the pocket had been holding a 2nd order sorcery scroll, once Billy struck at him again, he used this scroll, there might still be a chance to kill back.

Now that Billy, who was one level higher than him, still had an unknown attitude, and Angela was even more of a wallflower, Saul didn’t want to take the initiative to strike at Billy when the situation hadn’t gotten to the worst.

Of course, this revenge, he had memorized it!
“Now, the sacrifices have been made.” Saul looked sideways at Billy and Angela, “Can we talk about how to get out of here?”

While Saul was picking up the coins, Billy and Angela had also been staring at his hands, obviously also interested in this witchcraft prop that could divert a fatal crisis.

But after experiencing Saul’s bizarre counter-killing just now, they were a bit wary.

Especially Angela, she had always known that Saul was a quick learner of runes, but she hadn’t expected the other party to be so powerful even when he changed his runes.

The latter was already one of the most advanced ways to use Sorcery Runes.

But Angela didn’t know that the shock in Billy’s heart was even greater than hers, only that he was born with a gloomy face so that others couldn’t see his emotions.

In Billy’s perception, wanting to transform the efficacy of sorcery props, especially the efficacy of such ancient sorcerer’s props was a very complicated calculated transformation process.

But if he remembered correctly, it seemed that Saul had just pulled out that ancient coin and started working on it on his way here.

And in such a short period of a few minutes of work, he actually …… finished the experiment?

Then recalling that Saul had completed two witch body transformations in less than three years.

He suddenly felt that the rumor that the legend among the apprentices that Saul was only admitted under the Tower Master because of his outstanding soul talent should be false.

If Tower Master also only saw Saul’s soul talent, then Billy only wanted to say in his heart, “Tower Master, you’ve also looked away!”

Billy now really regretted that he had just done Mochi Mochi a favor without caring too much, but now he felt that Saul was more worthy of his investment.

So next, he let Saul take the ancient coins and didn’t bother to grab them.

But just this kind of goodwill, Saul may not agree.

In a short moment, Billy’s mind flashed through countless thoughts.

But his face remained expressionless.

“The speculation about the sacrifices actually came from the black tide of extinction I just mentioned.”

Inside, the bronze bells were ringing, and outside, the sound of the waves remained the same.

“There are some curses that can’t be stopped until enough lives are sacrificed. Just like the curse of the Black Tide of Extinction, even if someone finds the ship, they still need to use human lives to get it started.”

“That’s why I realized that this bronze bell was the so-called initiator when I saw Mochi Mochi.”

“So you pushed me out to replace Mochi Mochi?”

Billy paused for a moment, and just as Angela was too nervous to breathe for fear that the two would fight again, he finally spoke up and admitted it.

“It seemed to me at the time that Mochi Mochi was more useful than you in trying to get out of town. But you have proven me wrong before with your strength.”

Billy could admit his mistake without changing his face.

Saul also did not expect Billy to be such a “bachelor” person, only coldly smiled and pushed his emotions to the bottom of his heart.

If he hadn’t received a reminder from his diary on the way here, saying that he was “laughing too early, and sooner or later he’d be crying his eyes out!”, Saul wouldn’t have been sure that Mochimochi was the right man for the job. Saul could not be sure that the ancient coins given to him by Mochimochi must be problematic.

So on his way here, with his “math” at full power, and with the help of the diary, he rewrites the echoes on the ancient coins as fast as he can. As long as he controlled his spiritual power, he could cut the connection between the coin in his hand and another coin in a short time.

In this way, Saul was able to send Mochi Mochi back at the last minute.

He didn’t cut the connection at the beginning, but also to intentionally show weakness, if Billy and Angela sneak attacked him at this time under carelessness, they would definitely be counter-injured by him.

If he could kill one of them, he wouldn’t fall into a passive one-on-three situation.

Under one-on-one, although Saul was not able to defeat Billy, but if it was more than who could survive to the end, Saul still had some confidence!
“How much longer do we have to wait?” Angela, who didn’t realize that she had already died once in someone’s plan, asked in a small voice, “The wave of blood outside is already almost spreading to the windows. How are we going to get out of here?”

Saul glanced out the window and saw that the red ocean had somehow risen much higher again.

Only a few roofs could be seen in the entire town. Above the ocean floated a mess of goods.

“The end of the world is just like this.” Saul murmured.

“Heh, it’s not the end of the world, it’s just the end of me alone.”

Suddenly, a fourth voice rang out within the bell tower.

A little girl appeared out of thin air on the swinging bell ling.

She was swinging with one hand on the iron cable that hung the bell ling and one hand on the tilted roof, sitting on the bell that was swung with a corpse.

The girl was not very old, and her looks could only be called cute, but she had a pair of starry eyes that instantly added a lot of mysterious colors to her.

The moment the girl appeared, the ocean of blood and water outside the bell tower instantly set off huge waves. The waves struck the walls, splashing blood and water that nearly flew in through the wide windows outside.

Several people hurriedly moved away from the window.

Penny didn’t pay attention to the blood splatters outside the window, but gently patted the large bell underneath her and sighed in a serious tone, “I told you that you, the first one to find your way behind the curtains, must have been a sacrifice, you still didn’t believe me, and had to hold on until Brother Saul came over to bully him, look look look, in the end, weren’t you still the one who became the sacrifice?”

“Penny?” Saul looked at the girl and couldn’t help but call out her name, as if he wanted to confirm the other party’s identity.

And Penny was still looking at Saul with uncanny accuracy, greeting him with a smile.

“Hello again, brother Saul!”

Seeing that Saul and Penny knew each other, a trace of surprise flashed across Angela’s face, and her left hand gently clenched and seemed to be trembling.

“Who the hell are you?” Saul narrowed his eyes, this Penny was still not a spirit body.

The pendulum began to widen as the girl flew forward to its highest point, looking down just in time to meet Saul’s eyes.

“I’m Penny!”

She swung backward again, her voice a little muffled over the loud chiming of the bell.

“I’ve been Penny for years.”

Many years ……

If Penny had been out of place many years ago, then whose eyes did he take in the first place anyway?
He was about to ask something when he suddenly saw the young girl’s index finger briefly linger on her lips and slide back down to curl a long strand of hair around her cheek.

Saul then swallowed all the topics related to the Nightmare Butterfly back into his stomach for the time being.

At that moment, the secret message Angela had sent over with her summoning spell rang in his ears again.

“Saul, if you’re familiar with her, can you ask her to let us out?”

But before Saul could say anything, Penny, who was once again close by, looked down at Angela from her highest point with a slightly cool scrutiny in her eyes.

“Can’t oh~”

Penny actually heard the contents of their summoning spell.

Several people were taken aback and exchanged glances, but they didn’t dare to utilize their sorcery to send a message again.

Without explaining how she did it, Penny swung back and her next words made everyone cringe.

“This town has become a cage that only goes in and out.”

PS: Yesterday’s checkup came back okay, thanks for asking. (Bow!)
Push a book()

My Wife is a Roadie Villain

“She probably doesn’t count as a stumbling block for the protagonist, only a roadside dogwood.”

“A villainous character who has been depicted in less than three hundred words and is very much a roadside villain.”

“And the fact that she’s spoiled and brash, self-righteous, hypocritical and mean, and her character is just as nasty as she’s portrayed is a head-scratcher for me.”

“But she spoils me, because she’s my wife.”

“So I don’t want her to be bullied.”
