Chapter 79: . Spokesperson

"Uh, I still don't understand."
Geng Qinghe said as they approached the car.
The one they were going to drive was not the one next to the hotel, but the one he and Gu Heng had when they arrived. The latter parked the car in a hidden place after finding the secret signal.
"Where is the knife dangerous?"
He didn't see any magic power, only thought it was an exquisite dagger, which might sell for a good price at auction.
this problem--
Lin You paused.
"What it says... I don't understand it very well," she said, "I just happened to have heard a little."
Otherwise, she would recognize the dagger at a glance, and she wouldn't need to rely on translation.
"Start from the beginning."
"Like the mother of Cthulhu, the black goat, these evil gods kill people as simple as crushing an ant, but most of them are not interested in this. However, Nyarlatotepu is an exception."
Lin Youdao.
"He is keen to deceive and seduce mankind, and it would be best if he could bring anyone into despair."
In short, I like to make trouble.
"Nyarlatotepu's activities spread all over the world. He became a variety of incarnations, the'blood tongue' of the northern United States, the'swollen daughter' of Shanghai... He also appeared in Egypt as a pharaoh Yes," she pointed to Gu Heng's backpack, "so there will be a pattern of Egyptian holy bird on the knife."
So far, the skull has been nodding vigorously to show that it recognizes the accuracy of these words-it's just that the point is bumped up and down, and it is no different from its usual swaying up and down.
"Then, this dagger..."
"I know a little bit." Lin You recalled, "If you use it to hit Nyarlatotepu's avatar, you can destroy him, drive him away, and you won't be able to reappear until you are called next time."
"So, why do you say it is his token?"
Geng Qinghe blinked his eyes and asked blankly.
"In this way, that Naia... shouldn't it be destroyed by any means?"
"Yes, it's a pity that it has a very special magic power. It is a double-edged sword." Lin You replied, "The other use in the past was to make sacrifices, like this--"
She pointed to her throat and made a dash from top to bottom.
"Open the throat, cut it all the way to the end, and then dig out the heart. Those who accept this ritual will be sent to Asathos, and then reborn as its loyal servant."
Lin You shrugged.
"Nyarlatotepu's activities are also to attract more believers for himself and the Asathus who gave birth to him-the dagger can work very well. Among the most fanatical cultists, accepting this ritual is one Kind of glory."
When she uttered the word "Glory", Geng Qinghe opened his mouth, imagining the scene of these people lying on the table and being cut apart.
"...Are they still looking forward to being dissected?" He finally asked.
He thought that Langton was so crazy at the time, but he didn't expect that all the cultists in the world would be the same.
Lin You nodded.
How about it is fanaticism.
"So, according to my understanding." Gu Heng said, "Those who oppose Nyarlatotepu want to expel him with a dagger, and those who support him want to use a dagger to sacrifice themselves and pursue faith. Both sides will fight to get it. ?"
"And Nyarlatotep himself, he was afraid of it and wanted it."
Lin You concluded.
"Anyway, as long as the dagger is in hand, it is an innumerable trouble."
Geng Qinghe: "..."
He suddenly guessed how the client's uncle died.
Behind them, Langton clutched his swollen Lao Gao's face, and he had been sitting sullenly for a long time.
Since they talked about the dagger, they regarded him as an invisible person. Of course, for someone—he glanced at Lin You silently, he wished that the other party would not notice him.
Otherwise, I still don't know how bad it will be.
But seeing they were about to leave the matter behind, Langton had to clear his throat loudly.
He flinched unconsciously at Shang Linyou's gaze, but still stubbornly asked, "What about tomorrow night's ceremony?"
Gu Heng: "Tomorrow night?"
Geng Qinghe noticed that there was not even a shadow under Langton’s feet, and suddenly remembered
Lin You only remembered that when she asked Langton, the two of them were not present. In these few words, he repeated those things he had explained, and as expected, the two men's brows were frowning more tightly.
"What's all this?"
Geng Qinghe murmured bitterly, "It's the black goat and that Niya..."
"Yes," Lin You made another knife, "don't forget that we are not all together."
... His expression looked more stomachache.
"The call of the black goat is tomorrow night, and there is still some time." Gu Heng thought, "Now it's best to go to the client. If we have time, we might ask more clues from him, such as his uncle. Where did you get this."
Geng Qinghe: "...If...in time?"
He has a bad feeling.
This hunch was immediately confirmed.
"You didn't know the origin of this dagger, so you came to me directly." Lin You said, "but think about it, if his uncle was killed because of it, if those people came to his house, they found that the dagger was not there. there--"
It's cool.
"Can you make a call?" She turned to ask Gu Heng.
"No," he said, "I tried it before going out, but I couldn't get through. Fortunately, I know where his address is."
It seems that now I can only pray that the client will not be killed before they rush over.
"Okay," Lin You said, "we have to go back."
Langton: "Wait—"
What should he do here? !
"Don't'wait' anymore," she interrupted unceremoniously, "we will be back, tomorrow morning at the latest. From now on, you go to find where the altar they set up, remember to mark all the way."
Inexplicably, he was assigned the task, Langton's lips moved unwillingly for a long time, and he didn't dare to say half a word of protest.
Langton hung his head faintly, Lin Youquan regarded him as acquiescence. She was the first to walk to the side of the road and opened the back door.
Before getting into the co-pilot, Geng Qinghe looked back one last time and saw Langton started wandering dejectedly. After getting in the car, he couldn't help asking, "Can he find it?"
"Who knows," Lin You raised her eyebrows, "hit luck."
He must have been staying in this forest for so long, but he didn't even know where the altar was. It can only be said that he was lucky to find it temporarily.
Lin You was very suspicious of his ability to do things, especially after discovering that he was splashed on the first summoning formation, and did not remember to do some waterproofing for the second time.
Look at the rip girl. After a pair of scissors was crushed, she immediately learned from the pain, and prepared a full windbreaker-really a ghost than a ghost.
Anyway, she didn't really point to him to find it, and she would ask someone for help when she came back.
She inserted a card into the card sleeve.
The car drove smoothly, but the speed was not slow at all. Gu Heng turned the steering wheel, and the street trees on both sides of the road whizzed behind. None of them spoke, only thinking about when they could arrive.
Lin You didn't look at the watch, and she couldn't tell how long it was. On both sides of the road, the trees gradually sparsed down. They had already drove into the edge of the city. Lin You looked back subconsciously.
It was with this look that her movement stopped.
"Behind."
She slowly said, "Have you seen it?"
Through the rear window, a black spot appeared in the sky.
This was just the beginning, and soon thereafter the second and third appeared. The three small black dots seemed to be constantly approaching, and they began to stretch and elongate.
The moment they saw their shape, a physiological and indescribable discomfort immediately enveloped the whole body.
They were three black worm-like creatures, it is difficult to describe exactly what they looked like-their heads were constantly changing and twisting, and there were appendages with huge hooks under them. On both sides of the body, rubber-like wings continued to flap, helping them to dive straight down.
The goal is obvious.
It's them.
Lin You heard Geng Qinghe gasp, and Gu Heng stepped on the accelerator.
"Can't go there anymore," he said, "change a place."
They had already driven into the city, and it was too late to change lanes in a hurry. Seeing the guys rushing closer and closer, Linyou facing the rear window directly met the pair of eyes like vertical pupils
The next second, the roof of the car shook heavily, and they only felt that they were shaking with the car.
The pedestrians outside were screaming. Gu Heng stepped on the accelerator and dodged the oncoming traffic as he drove through the intersection. As soon as he hit the steering wheel, his strong inertia slammed the creature that hit their car roof.
However, the good times didn't last long. It was only half a minute. Without even giving a sigh of relief, the other one ran into it with greater force than before.
Its paws clasped tightly into the roof of the car, and Lin You personally watched a small bump on the top of his head. A second before the iron sheet was about to be scratched, Gu Heng repeated the same technique, and wanted to get rid of it by that method.
This time it was not so easy. They traversed three or four streets before using a tail flick to force the poisonous snake with wings and claws to hit the tree.
Even in the car, Lin You was sure that he heard the cracking sound of wood. Looking up again, I saw the dense bulge above, which is enough to show that the opponent was only a little short of breaking through the car's defense.
This obviously can't support it.
She realized what Gu Heng meant by "changing a place".
Sure enough, the car slowed down and drove toward the side of the road when it passed the next block.
"I count one, two, three," he said, "rush in and lock the door."
He was referring to a small building sandwiched between the shops facing the street. The first floor is the garage and the small door next to the garage. The second floor leading to the stairs behind the door hangs the sign of XX office-no doubt. The one they said was run by "Gu Heng".
"Give me the key." Lin You said.
Gu Heng looked at her, and within two seconds, a silver light flashed across the air. Lin You reached out and grabbed the key he threw over, and held the handle of the car door with the other hand.
It would be best if it could be removed, Lin You thought while looking at the air, but she didn't have the one who could fight against her in the air.
If you have to say it, Alessa can count as one. But I don’t know if this is just the vanguard. If I use it this time, there will be...
So, if you can avoid it, you should avoid it.
She listened carefully to Gu Heng's voice, and as soon as the word "three" was uttered, she immediately pushed open the door with force and rushed towards the office.
Behind him was the sound of opening and closing the car door, and Lin You couldn't take care of that much. The snake-like creatures chasing the car undoubtedly noticed their movements, and their fangs and claws bit at several people at the same time.
Lin You turned her side in time, letting the fangs dripping with the venom wipe over her shoulders. Holding the doorknob, she quickly calmed down her emotions, and slammed into the keyhole with accuracy, hoping to hurry and twist the key in her hand.
Finally, as soon as she heard the "click", she jumped straight into the porch, and threw the pulled key back with her backhand.
Geng Qinghe, the last to walk in, grabbed the keychain slid to his fingertips. He was panting, his fingers were shaking, and he had to press his shoulder against the door panel. The key slid a few times on the edge of the keyhole, finally inserted it, and locked the door.
In the next moment, the entire door frame trembles with the violent impact. The shouts of the monsters outside were loud and harsh, but they couldn't break through this security door for a while.
Lin You took a step back, turned her head and stepped on the steps of the stairs-there was really not much space left on the first floor, and it was not good for them to squeeze in such a narrow place.
Gu Heng and Geng Qinghe rushed to the second floor behind her.
But once they saw the scene upstairs clearly, all three of them were taken aback.
Lin You hadn't been here before, so naturally she didn't know what she should have been like - but she could at least tell from the reaction of the two of them, it wouldn't be the situation where the drawers were all on one side and the documents were turned over in a mess. .
However, there is no time left for them to think about what is going on.
I saw the three winged "worms" also noticed, gave up besieging the iron gate downstairs, and went up.
Then, he faced them impartially across the balcony window.
Geng Qinghe mumbled something, but Lin You didn't hear it clearly.
She pressed her hand on the card holder, ready to act at any time. Because almost at the same time when "Yes" was looking at them, their excited and sharp hiss seemed to tremble the air through the glass.
Seeing that the monsters are about to flutter their wings and hit the French window--
"Light--!"
The skulls who saw these monsters in the front suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Use light to shine on them!"
The effect of his words was too great. Lin You saw the emergency light kicked to the wall in the messy office of the office, "Your side!"
Geng Qinghe was the closest, and he crawled and grabbed the heavy lamp. The intense white light dazzled people's eyes, but if so, he still tried his best to shine the light on the monsters from left to right.
The moment the light dangled, the monsters seemed to be pinched at the gate of their lives—they fleeed screaming. But after hovering in the sky for a few minutes, seeing the light showing no signs of diminishing, he disappeared into the sky unwillingly.
It took another long time for Geng Qinghe to turn off the lights, and his heartbeat was steady.
"that……"
He noticed the skull's shout, which meant it recognized it, "Do you know what that is?"
Skull: "...cough."
It just remembered.
"'Terror Hunter'."
It said briefly.
"Afraid of light, these few are smaller than ordinary ones, and it is estimated that they are not very capable..."
So it will be driven away by the level of emergency light.
"I didn't have to run away if I knew this weakness...it's a pity." Lin You sighed, and she looked around the office, "If only there was a net bag."
Maybe you can catch one or two with the light.
Geng Qinghe: "………………"
? ? ? ? ?
Boss, what dangerous thoughts are you, Boss? !
Gu Heng noticed something else.
"Do you know who they might listen to?" he asked.
"This is hard to say." Skull and crossbones said carefully. "The hunters themselves will attack humans for blood, but sometimes they are driven by others-for example, it is said that Nyarlatotepu likes to hunt them. Eagle use."
"If you use him to explain..."
Lin You looked at the messy office offices, "This makes sense."
Originally wanted to find out where the dagger was hidden while they were away, but after turning over to the sky, he found nothing. So he sent his "Falcon" to track, and chased it back all the way.
"drop--"
In silence, the long doorbell downstairs cut through the air, and everyone was shocked.
There are not many pedestrians on the road, most of them are a few blocks away, and they don’t care whether the witnesses discuss the cars that were discussed by the monsters, but they didn’t expect that there would be someone soon after the monsters ran--
Lin You turned around.
"It's okay," she said, "I'll go."
Who is knocking at this time?
All the way down the stairs, Lin You thought for a while, leaning on the cat's eyes and looking out.
She could see the person standing outside the door.
He is not very old and is closer to youth. His complexion was dark, and he smiled heartily. In terms of appearance, he is not uncommon, he is still the type that makes people instinctively feel good and relax their vigilance.
"Is anyone here?" he said in a friendly and brisk tone. "I have something to interrupt."
Lin You was a little grateful that she didn't use that card when she was attacked by the hunters.
Nyarlatotepu has more than one avatar, and his most common human avatar is a dark-skinned, tall and thin man with a hearty smile.
The master is here.
