Chapter 271 Dorothy, are you okay?
After the black crow disappeared, Jiraji took a few steps back to distance himself from his accomplices.
"Ahem, Jiraji, didn't you say that the witch group members would not appear in the park? But now they come directly to our door. What's going on?"
Crowley coughed dryly, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere, and spoke casually.
"It is indeed strange."
Kiraji had an indifferent expression.
He put the gum in his mouth, chewed it while thinking, and after less than a minute he said:
"This must be related to the 'Corruption Fluid'. The witch Grisha must have obtained the 'Corruption Fluid' through some special ritual without losing control."
"The Corrupt Fluid is an extremely dangerous pollutant. I don't know if the witch group still has the Corrupt Fluid or has discovered the source of the Corrupt Fluid."
"If the witch group gets hold of a large amount of corrupting fluid, things will become very difficult."
“It will even cause an unprecedented super disaster to the city of Southville.”
When Jiraji said this, he, who had always had nothing to do with Tianta, couldn't help but show a rare look of worry.
"Let's report this to the captain as soon as possible."
Crowley said.
Jiraji did not object to this and nodded, which was rare.
After Grisha left, Klaue became extremely vigilant, but fortunately no sneak attack occurred afterwards.
After dawn, Klauer and others continued westward along the planned route.
After climbing over several hills and walking along a desolate road for 40 miles.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was a mountain range that stretched for dozens of kilometers and looked like it had been split in half by a giant sword.
The mountain range stood at a 90-degree angle in front of everyone, directly cutting off their way forward.
Kiraji pursed his cracked lips and shouted:
"Shit! Are we in the wrong place?"
"This place where no one lives is a snake's nest?"
"Maybe we'll die of thirst here."
Looking at the smoking desert land, Kiraji shook the kettle in his hand vigorously.
Kiraji tilted his head back and poured the water into his mouth, but no liquid came out. He had the urge to smash the kettle.
"The map shows that this is the place. Walk about a kilometer further and you will see a red river."
"There are a lot of poisonous snakes here, so everyone must be careful."
Crowley, on horseback, unfolded the sheepskin map in his hand, compared the surrounding terrain with the map, and after confirming that it was correct, he shouted to everyone.
After exploring with a telescope, the tourist said excitedly:
"Look, there seems to be someone ahead, let's follow them quickly."
Crowley followed the direction pointed by tourist Billy and saw two black figures more than 1 meters ahead.
There were just two black figures leaning against a big tree at the foot of the cliff.
The two men hid in the shadows where there was no sunlight, and could not be discovered without the use of telescopic equipment.
Could he be a member of a cult?
When Crowley thought of this, he raised his hand to signal everyone not to follow him. He decided to go and explore alone.
After walking 500 meters forward and with his vision becoming clearer, he realized that they were two familiar figures.
It turned out to be Earl William who went to the snake's den the day before, and his captive, Laukis, the protagonist of the theme story line of "The Hanging".
Klauer could not have imagined that after Count William rescued Laukis, he actually kept him by his side.
Out of strong curiosity, Crowley entered the etheric world through meditation.
Klauer's spirit came to Earl William and wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Earl William:
"This should be it, Laukis. There is a river of blood ahead."
"There are lots of snakes out there, but none of them lay eggs."
Laukis:
"You damn bastard, you killed my wife, you killed my neighbors, you killed a bunch of people from my family."
"Just to find some crappy maze!"
"Are you crazy? What on earth are you going to do?"
Earl William:
“This whole world is a story, and I’ve read every page except the last.”
"I need to know how it all ends. I want to know what it all means."
Laukis:
"You must have read too much to become stupid."
"You see, this is why I have never been able to read and learn to read."
"Why don't we just forget about this damn snake den?"
"We have to hurry to Krako, the city of death. My friends are there."
"My friends there can help us."
Earl William:
"Your friend doesn't have what I'm looking for."
"At least, not on this trip."
---
"Don't mention it, let's look for that clue."
"It's a snake."
After Earl William finished speaking, he pushed Laukis on the back and motioned him to look forward.
Laukis looked in the direction Earl William pointed.
A few hundred meters ahead is a red river that stretches as far as the eye can see.
On the edge of the red river, a blonde woman was bathing topless.
The graceful figure and plump breasts are clearly visible.
Laukis stared in a daze, swallowing madly.
"How shameful! You were a married man yesterday, but when you saw this woman, you threw your wife out of your mind."
Earl William teased.
"Her? Impossible. Although I like women who are a bit shrewish, she is far beyond the category of shrewish."
"Did you see the blood tattoo on her body?"
"I'm afraid the only people she's ever had sex with are dead people."
"It's strange that this woman is here. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."
"We should leave as soon as possible."
Laokis looked around quickly and found several dark shadows walking towards him quickly. He said anxiously.
"Want to leave? It's too late."
Four figures, two in front and two behind, surrounded Earl William and Laukis.
The four men raised their spears and pointed them at Earl William and Laukis.
"That's great, guys. We found some food for our horses."
"The horses were so hungry that their tempers became super bad."
A woman's voice was heard from the front.
It was the woman who had just washed her upper body by the river.
The woman has blonde hair and blue eyes, an extremely slim figure, and an ordinary appearance, but she gives people the feeling that she is not someone to be trifled with.
There was a blood-red pattern on the woman's neck as thick as an arm, which spiraled and stretched all the way to the corner of her right eye.
This is a pattern of a giant snake, with its head resting on the side of the right eye and its bloody mouth open, as if it wants to swallow anyone it sees.
When Crowley saw the woman, he was stunned.
It turned out to be the snake girl Jekasi.
Maeve is the heroine of the "Robbery" theme storyline at the Tavern and the right-hand man of the robber protagonist Hector.
When Earl William saw Jecassi, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he said after reacting:
"My friend and I were just admiring your tattoo."
"I want to know the story behind your tattoo."
Jessica quickly came to Earl William. She wiped her wet long hair with dry clothes and looked carefully at the middle-aged man in front of her who had an extraordinary demeanor and looked like he was not easy to mess with.
"I like your hat, maybe I'll keep it."
"As for the rest, feed it to the horses."
"We've never met, why should I tell you?"
The snake girl looked like she clearly didn't want to pay any attention to the other person.
"I'm sorry, this is obviously an oversight on my part in the past."
"Can I ask you where you are going?"
When Earl William saw that the other party was not cooperating, he did not give up and continued to talk.
"Go to Krako, the city of the dead, and bring back something valuable."
Unexpectedly, this time the snake girl answered Earl William.
"Craco, the City of Death? That's a place guarded by the army."
"It seems that you are a little short-handed."
Earl William looked at the other group and smiled teasingly.
"You're talking nonsense. We have plenty of manpower."
Just as Earl William finished speaking, the sound of bullets being loaded was heard.
"Boom!"
With two sudden gunshots, the two men fell down.
Earl William blew down the smoking barrel of the gun in his hand and said calmly:
"It seems that you are short of staff. How about letting us join?"
William put away his pistol and looked at Jessica with a faint smile.
Seeing this, Jekasi's face was filled with anger, but he did not attack William.
In the end, Jacobi agreed to Earl William's request.
Jessica ordered his only two men to lead the horses and move along the river bank in the direction of the upstream flow.
Directly kill the other party's men, then join the other side and act as their man.
Does this work?
When Crowley saw this dramatic scene, the corners of his mouth twitched.
After fetching water from the river and resting for a while, Crowley ordered everyone to continue moving forward along the trail of Earl William's horse.
We walked until dark, and finally reached the outskirts of Krako, the city of death, from the seldom visited snake den.
On the top of a mountain outside Krako, the City of Death, there are countless firewoods and it is very lively.
Obviously, these are tourists preparing to go to the City of the Dead.
Crowley chose a remote place far away from everyone and settled down there.
The full moon cast silver light over the hillside, illuminating an area of hundreds of meters clearly.
Crowley sat cross-legged on a huge mountain and looked around.
Tourist Logan was sleeping in the tent, while Billy was warming himself by the fire with his host Dorothy.
"We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and your friends."
The receptionist Dorothy spoke to the tourist Billy first, which caught Klauer's attention, and he immediately focused his attention on the cyborg Dorothy.
Billy:
"Don't be sorry, it's okay."
"I'm glad you found us."
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, where do you want to go in the end?"
Billy asked the question that Crowley was most concerned about.
Dorothy:
"I do not know yet."
Isn’t the receptionist’s walking route arranged in advance?
Dorothy actually said she didn't know where to go.
Could it be that after being separated from the main story line, the scriptwriting department has not yet arranged a new theme story line for her?
Dorothy has completely deviated from the main story line, and the staff of Chenxi Company will either send someone to take her back to the maintenance workshop soon.
Either she will be re-established with a new theme storyline, or she will not be allowed to run around in Dawn Island.
Could it be because of the two tourists, Billy and Logan?
Thinking of this, Klauer couldn't help but look up to these two mysterious tourists who spent money like water.
Billy:
"I thought they would put you in certain areas, or on certain routes."
Dorothy:
"A specific road?"
"What you said is quite interesting, but it also reminds me of the past."
“Before, I believed that everyone had their own specific path to follow and specific things to do.”
“But now, I find myself thinking about where my path will take me, more than ever before.”
"I used to herd cattle and sheep with my dad, and we would drive the cattle and sheep down the mountain in the fall."
“And sometimes, we lose one or two along the way.”
"Often at that time, I would be very worried that the cattle and sheep would lose their way."
"Every time that happens, my father would tell me, they will find their way home."
"Usually, those lost cattle and sheep will come back."
“It’s like this is what they are specifically designed to do.”
"It never occurred to me that they came back automatically just to be slaughtered."
Having said this, Dorothy paused for a moment, as if she was stuck.
Billy:
"It sounds like a sad story, Dorothy. So what are you going to do now to find your own way?"
Billy asked worriedly.
Dorothy:
“I’m just finding my path now.”
"Maybe you don't understand, but sometimes I feel like something is calling me."
“It tells me that there is a place waiting for me beyond here. Perhaps it is my goal, it is my path.”
"It's waiting for me to find it."
Billy:
"What you are talking about must be what you want most in your heart. I understand this feeling, Dorothy."
“I know the feeling.”
Billy sighed and then agreed.
"But you really don't want to go back to your old life?"
After Billy sighed, he continued to question Dorothy, but he saw that she was motionless, like a statue.
Oh no, Dorothy is starting to behave strangely.
Klauer immediately turned on his clairvoyance and checked the data on Dorothy's magic command ball.
At this moment, he saw an incredible picture from Dorothy's mind.
That was the picture of Dorothy lying in the human body repair workshop, facing a group of people wearing white coats and sealed metal protective helmets.
At this moment, the Crows saw that the color of Dorothy's spirit was abnormal.
The spirit, which was usually black and gray, at this moment turned dark purple, representing fear.
"Are you ok?"
In Dorothy's mind, she heard the greeting from the eerie man in a white coat holding a scalpel and wearing a protective helmet.
"Are you ok?"
"Are you ok?"
.....
"Dorothy, wake up, are you okay?"
Billy began to shake Dorothy, who was like a statue.
"I...I'm fine. I'm fine."
"I was distracted and shuddered."
"That's all."
Dorothy said with a pale face and lingering fear.
