Chapter 173 Moon Embracing Ceremony

In the Mist .

The female merfolk’s singing came to an abrupt end.

It’s originally indifferent face suddenly turned hideous, and its two eyes wandered, and Rudolph beside him was full of confusion. Puppet body.

There are also many ordinary employees who are under control.

They’re just like Rudolph.

The female merfolk was silent for a while, her eyes looked towards the position where Romon killed the male merfolk, opened her mouth, and sang again. Big drops of tears flowed from his eyes, and they turned into crystal pearls one after another under the pool where he sat.

Romon doesn’t know this.

After he walked out of the pearl processing factory, he was stunned to find that the fog and singing inside were completely invisible from the outside, as if he was in two worlds.

This should also be the ability of merfolk.

I just don’t know what merfolk wants to make such a big noise here.

Just as Romon was about to leave, two men in black uniforms came across the street.

The two hold a metal box in their hands, and a crisp sound keeps ringing and playing in a loop. It’s a music box, but after going through the merfolk thing, Romon is a little nervous about these rhythm stuff.

He hasn’t spoken yet.

Among the two, the man holding the music box was the first to speak: “Strange, it wasn’t polluted by the song of the tear shark, it shouldn’t be. Those who escaped from the fog before, more or less All have been affected by the mind.”

He seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be communicating with his companions next to him.

The two exchanged glances, and then the man holding the music box came up: “You should still have the ability to communicate and distinguish what I say. I am Law Enforcer Dennis of the Church of Steam, now Our Steam Church is dealing with the Tear Shark incident. You came out of it, do you know what’s going on inside?”

Dennis showed his ID card and looked bad.

Most of these underground awakeneds have eccentric temperaments. Who knows if they will cooperate with them in their work. If this person does not cooperate, then they can only use tough methods.

But Romon’s reaction surprised him.

This handsome and enviable guy came over enthusiastically: “I just want to report the case to you, the situation here is very complicated, but the most important thing is a female merfolk who is difficult to deal with. “

said.

Romon told the two of them carefully about his experience.

Just skip the part where he kills the male merfolk.

“Six third rank can’t do anything about that merfolk, and one third rank awakened was instantly bewildered by the merfolk?” Dennis looked serious, as if there was a large stone pressing down in his heart.

The Church of Steam has very tight control over this place, didn’t expect this change to happen suddenly tonight.

“You’ve already discovered the anomaly here?” Romon looked at the two of them at the moment, suspecting that the Church of Steam had already discovered the anomaly here, but the other party didn’t make a move, which made him in his heart. Feeling a little surprised.

It seems that the church is waiting for this matter to fully ferment before resolving it.

This abnormal behavior made Romon’s dark thoughts spin.

“You have a better idea of what’s going on inside. We’ll start an attack later. You have to accompany us to go in again.”

Dennis said seriously.

Hearing this sentence, Romon frowned slightly. This guy is obviously going to forcibly requisition him. Would it be good to go in with them?

Isn’t that just being a cannon fodder?

There was a faint flash of coldness in his eyes.

At this time Dennis spoke again: “We have a different-colored music box in our hands, you don’t have to worry about the song of the tear shark, after entering, you just need to take us to the other party’s location and then leave. Friends, you have to trust us. The ability of the steam church to do things.”

Romon said solemnly: “I am the teacher of the St. Amethyst Academy, and I was only entrusted by Mr. Rudolph tonight to help him solve the problem. I am only a talent I’m awakened in third rank, so sorry.”

He didn’t want to be a cannon fodder.

Let these two people talk hysterically, without even benefiting, and want to make people sacrifice their lives?

Hearing Romon’s words, Dennis’ face turned cold, not as pleasant as before.

And the guy next to him looked even more impatient: “Do you think we are discussing with you? Come out of this pearl processing factory, who knows if you are a merfolk accomplice? If you are good Cooperate with us, you can also wash away the suspicion, if you refuse, then go back to the Steam Church with us for questioning, don’t use the name of Academy to press us, now this is the Steam Church doing business!”

The two were arrogant.

There is a big disagreement, and it means to start directly.

Romon’s eyes darkened completely.

The people in the Archdiocese of the Steam Church are completely different from those in Wudun. But there are good people and bad people in that place, and so is the church.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Romon knows this.

The church isn’t all good people either.

Just compared to the cult members who sacrifice their lives at every turn, they seem too decent.

Romon clenched his fists.

If he fights with these two people, he has 8-Layer’s certainty to win, and the fourth layer’s certainty to kill them.

Killing two people is easy, but disposing of the bodies afterwards is cumbersome.

And the disappearance of two third rank members of the church is not as simple as the disappearance of a son of a fringe nobleman. The church will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.

The chances of him escaping tracking are slim.

Not to mention that he may not have had time to dispose of the body afterwards.

It’s really troublesome, these extraordinary means can make the dead speak, which greatly limits Romon’s play.

Weigh the pros and cons.

Romon resisted the urge to do it.

“How’s your thinking? You have to think about it, don’t make a wrong choice. This time the Tear Shark incident caused so many deaths, if you become a comrade, even if you are a member of the Holy Amethyst Academy People can only end up on the gallows.”

Dennis threatened coldly.

At this time, another group of people just patrolled the street. They were wearing the clothes of the Bureau of Investigation, and the leader happened to be Ferranka of the Bureau of Investigation.

Romon winked when he saw Ferranka.

Because of the last cemetery incident, Ferranka is now considered to have been promoted to Level 1. Instead of only responsible for logistical work, he has the opportunity to take the initiative to take out tasks.

This is also what he requested. Although the logistics work is safe, the salary is not high. If you want to develop further, go to the top of the Bureau of Investigation, and go further on the awakened road, you must turn to the front.

The third rank is the peak of the logistics staff. The Bureau of Investigation will not continue to waste resources on training logistics staff to advance to the fourth rank.

In fact, it is also very easy to understand.

What does a logistician need such a high battle strength for?

And when the level is high, it will become unstable, and it is very likely that the alienation will get out of control, which is even more unfavorable for work.

The most important thing for logistics members is stability.

So after making a difficult decision, Ferranka gave up the logistical and easy fishing work.

“Dennis, didn’t expect you guys are still here. What? You want to get me to arrange someone to check the situation?”

Ferranka swaggered over. , bad eyesight.

He brought several fighters from the Bureau of Investigation behind him. Speaking of the crowd, it was obvious that the Bureau of Investigation had the advantage.

Dennis frowned: “Is he from your Bureau of Investigation?”

“Any opinion? The Steam Church has already dealt with merfolk, and you two still haven’t come to support. “Ferranca said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Dennis and his companions complexion changed.

Although they are very interested in this insider who came out of the pearl processing factory and want to take him away, but now that the operation of the Steam Church has begun, they have no time to entangle with Ferranka .

There are many forces involved in tonight’s action.

Everyone is waiting for the tear shark to condense the moon shark through the moon-holding ceremony, and then rely on the ability to get it, so the two must rush back as soon as possible.

Saw the two awakeneds of the Steam Church leave.

Only then did Ferranka sighed in relief, “How did you get entangled with these guys from the Steam Church? I just left the team here, and this time I was preparing to fight the autumn wind on the outside, but you were so good, you actually went in directly. I strolled around. You dare to enter this pearl farm, and my brother admires it.”

Romon heard the other person say this, and quickly asked: “The pearl farm? Do you know the situation here?”

“Of course I know, you came here without knowing anything?” Ferranka looked at Romon with a look of astonishment, like a lunatic.

Helpless.

Romon can only retell the fact that he was hired by Rudolph to solve the murder here.

The other party sighed after hearing this: “If you come and ask your brother about this, I won’t let you get involved. The merfolk here doesn’t appear at will, but is taken from the past. He was driven over from the world of the old days.”

“I was driven from the world of the old days?”

Romon was sure that he heard it right, but no matter how he interprets this sentence, Not very smooth.

Ferranca was quick to explain the whole sequence of events.

Existing merfolk basically live in the depths of the sea, and it is extremely difficult to find one. Even if you actually meet merfolk on the sea, it will be in groups, making it impossible to start. But there are many precious spirituality materials on merfolk, and the moon shark pearl is the most precious one.

Moon shark beads can only be made by merfolk, and are said to have magical effects.

But this thing requires merfolk to make it through a ceremony called holding the moon. Ferranca didn’t know what effect it had, but only knew that it was very precious, and the superiors gave a death order, if there is an opportunity to snatch it as much as possible.

The origin of this tear shark was quietly stocked here by a fourth rank awakened, wanting to use it as a material for his future breakthrough.

But this fourth rank awakened was unfortunate and died in the siege of the Steam Church some time ago.

So this merfolk information is also exposed.

But the Church of Steam never came to deal with it, but let it continue to grow and grow, secretly giving birth to shark beads.

In other words, this is the steam church that is raising fish, just to borrow this thing, let them use this merfolk to create moon shark beads.

“But there’s more than one merfolk in here!” Romon asked suspiciously after listening to Ferranka’s description.

The other party’s expression changed slightly, with a look of disbelief, “More than one? It may be that the guys from the Steam Church lied to us, or it may be that something has happened in this pearl processing factory! Anyway, I received The news is like this, tonight is the day that the tear shark will hold the ceremony.

Although the Steam Church is more prepared, we all have a chance.

Who can If we get the moon shark pearl, maybe.

How about it, do you want to go in with us and see? If there is danger, we will slip away immediately and never stay longer.”

Romon Think for a moment, then nod.

He did want to go back and see what was inside.

But he was curious, what role did Rudolph play in the whole thing?

After all, this is his factory, and he has gone to great lengths to hire so many helpers, so he wants to solve this merfolk. If I knew that this was a fish raised by the steam church, I wonder if I would want to vomit blood.

“Did Rudolph know that merfolk was deliberately left in the factory by the Church of Steam?”

“Rudolph?” Ferranka recalled for a moment, and then said, “This guy is not A believer in the Church of Steam? It’s time for him to contribute to the Church of Steam.”

Hearing this, it was obvious that Rudolph did not know the plan of the Church of Steam.

Romon remembered the attitude of the two members of the Steam Church before, plus the Steam Church’s current wave of laying eggs.

Now it seems that Rudolph is not a pure iron clown?

“Let’s go, if you’re late, you won’t be able to see anything. Although this time I’m just here to try one’s luck, but in case there is a special harvest.”

Ferranka also had a bit of luck in picking up a bargain.

This time is mainly the action of the Steam Church. The forces sent by the other Great Influences are not very strong. They are mainly mixed with the mentality of watching the fun to see if they can pick up some bargains.

Franka and Romon join together and enter the pearl factory.

Returning to this place, the fog in the air reappeared.

Compared to before, the fog inside was thicker, and there was a faint singing voice, the female merfolk’s singing had not stopped, and the melody became more and more strange and mournful.

But the Bureau of Investigation also has a way to prevent the shark singing, and Ferranka gives Romon a pair of earplugs.

“When you put it on, it can block the singing of the tear shark. The tear shark is somewhat special, even if it is a third rank awakened, it is very dangerous to face it. We have to be careful.”

Phelan The card is very stable.

Romon put on this pair of earplugs, and sure enough, the singing voices floating around began to weaken. Although there were still some vague voices reverberating, the impact was several times smaller.

In the mist all around, the Water Charm still attacked everyone indiscriminately.

But Ferranka took out a crystal ball, crushed it, and formed a mask about the size of the carriage around it, protecting everyone, so that they were not penetrated by these water charms.

This is a low-level relic.

In the third rank squad of the Investigation Bureau’s outing operations, Captain has the right to apply for a low-level relic to ensure safety.

Romon and Ferranka didn’t take a few steps when they heard a harsh fighting sound coming from the front, and the two of them were shocked and rushed away with the rest of the investigation bureau.

“Someone is fighting! It seems that this place is really not what the Steam Church thought before. There must be other things mixed in. There are variables tonight.”

Fei Lanka’s eyes flashed brightly.

A group of seven people quickly came to the place where they were fighting in the fog.

Fighting are four steam church members and three merfolks.

Those three merfolks are strong, and although they only hold ordinary iron weapons in their hands, they are able to fight for a long time under the siege of four members of the Steam Church, and even form a wave of counterattacks from time to time. , made the four of them a little embarrassed.

“Three merfolks again?”

Romon asked in surprise.

Ferranka shook his head and said solemnly: “These are just merfolk vassal races, not true pure-blood merfolk, they only have a part of merfolk characteristics and strengths on their bodies. In Sharkmen Race, Women dominate, and generally the really powerful merfolks are women, and they’re called tear sharks.”

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder the merfolk he encountered was so weak that he killed it at will.

As a scholar, Ferranka may not be very strong in combat, but he is very knowledgeable. Especially in these strange areas.

“Isn’t there a lot of women in Sharkmen Race?”

Romon asked again.

Ferranka shook his head: “On the contrary, there are not many women in Sharkmen Race, but very few in number, and even fewer tear sharks. Although they have great power, they are more difficult to grow up.

. This time, it was the tear shark who made the idea of the Steam Church. But the situation here is already out of control. They made the female shark into a tear shark, and now they want it to hold the moon ceremony. , that’s that easy?”

The ceremony is the ceremony in Sharkmen Race.

There are very few records that exist today, even within the church, there are very few records of these rare races, so most people are not quite clear about the specific moon-holding ceremony.

The battle ahead is basically a foregone conclusion.

The four awakeneds from the Church of Steam faced off against the three merfolks. Although there was a temporary attack for a long time without any success, victory was only a matter of time.

The group did not stay here for long, but continued to the core area, where Romon encountered the tear shark before.

That should be the center of the battle.

The Tear Shark is not something to be slaughtered as Ferranka had expected. There are other strange forces in the mix tonight, and it’s a good time to fish in troubled waters.

The entire group went inside and found fierce fighting everywhere.

Every Great Influence has it!

The guy who came here tonight with the idea of playing the autumn wind is almost caught in the battle at this moment. There are not only tear sharks in the white fog, but also many other monsters. These things came out of nowhere, and for a while, the processing factory was very lively.

Romon rejoiced.

If he had come out later, he might have gotten into it. Now a person wants to escape from the pearl processing factory, the difficulty has increased exponentially.

For this strange change, Ferranka couldn’t say why.

Just as a few were about to move on.

The thick white mist suddenly stirred up, but the cloud in the center dissipated in an instant, revealing a clear and real scene.

The workers in the factories from before are now piled up into a mountain of flesh and blood, and their limbs are randomly fitted together, like a scrambled puzzle. This kind of composition is disgusting but has a strange beauty. Blood dripped red on the ground, and it could be vaguely recognized that this place was the previous pool fountain!

Because the white mist gradually dissipated.

Plus the fountains all around are illuminated by the fierce moonlight, just stand a little higher in the pearl processing factory, you can see the situation there.

At this time, Ferranka and Romon were lying on the roof of a factory building.

Other Bureau members are on guard all around.

The two were aware of the danger from the beginning of the upheaval, so they resolutely stabilized and did not approach rashly, choosing to observe the situation in a place with a wider field of vision.

It’s just that the scene in front of me is enough to make even the most murderous executioner unable to sleep peacefully, and at least have to have nightmares for a few months.

A sea of corpses and blood.

It’s not an adjective, it’s actually happening right in front of you!

The workers in the factory all died.

Ferranka was speechless when she saw this horrible to see scene.

Although Romon was well prepared at this moment, he didn’t expect the scene to become so tragic, and he didn’t even have a chance to survive.

“This moon hugging ceremony is too ruthless!” Ferranka took a deep breath with anger in his eyes: “The Church of Steam could have stopped it long ago, but they are waiting for the merfolk to finish hugging. Moon, to capture her moon shark beads. Now it seems that the Church of Steam should be completely out of the game, and there is obviously another force behind the merfolk.”

The tear shark will condense shark beads in the body. , and after the tear shark holding the moon ceremony, the shark beads in the body will become moon shark beads.

As for the role of the moon shark bead, Ferranka is not clear. It is said that it has the magical effect of getting rid of distortion and alienation and restoring normal spirit and body.

“The ceremony holding the moon is about to start.”

At this time, Ferranka reminded him.

Romon subconsciously asked: “This ceremony is alright, right?”

Ferranka looked towards him in surprise: “How could it be possible? , where did you hear all this? Unless it’s a ceremony who is very high-ranking, the powerful psionic radiance will affect us.”

Hearing him say this, Romon felt relieved.

In the pool covered by the sea of blood and the mountain of corpses, the female merfolk he had seen before was sitting at the highest place, receiving countless moonlight rays of light.

The layers of moonlight washed down.

She actually began to crystallize all over her body, and every inch of her flesh and blood turned into crystals.

The blood on the ground turned into blood lines at this moment, rushing upstream towards the female merfolk’s body, forming red silk threads on this crystallized body.

“Is this the moon hugging ceremony?” Romon’s eyes gleamed.

Ferranka stared at him, too late to answer.

It was the first time for both of them to see this kind of ceremony, and it was naturally concentrated attention completely at this moment.

And at this time.

With a bang, the female merfolk was directly covered by the violent explosion.

The people of the Steam Church have done it!

Tonight is their home ground, and at this moment, ceremony at first, they are attacking merfolk.

Ferranka said solemnly: “It seems that the guys at the Steam Church also feel that things are getting bigger, they are out of control, and they do it without waiting for the ceremony to finish. They should be afraid of the people behind merfolk. Power.”

This merfolk was caught from the old world, and it stands to reason that there would be no hidden power behind it, but tonight’s performance is telling everyone that this matter is not so Simple.

After the violent explosion, the crystallized merfolk was unscathed. Scarlet’s eyes stared at the steam combat mecha that was attacking not far away, and his mouth opened to make a piercing cry:

p>

“Tear Moon!”

Countless brilliance exploded, and the dark night suddenly became as bright as day.

A huge vortex emerges in midair, spinning as if something is about to grow out of it.

“Ferranka, what kind of moon hugging ceremony has this link?” Romon turned around and asked eagerly.

Ferranka was also stunned at the moment: “I don’t know either, but there shouldn’t be such a big movement in Ceremony Impossible!”
