Chapter 2457 The 3nd "Guidelines"
Chapter 2457 The Third "Guidance"
The priest looked up with great effort at the source of the light, and saw Shad's face appear on the side of the cave above, followed by his surprised voice:
"I found the priest! I said that the ability to listen to heartbeats is the best for finding someone in this situation!"
"Detective, get out of the way. I'm here."
Another familiar voice sounded, and then the entire ruins shook. A few seconds later, two tall figures dug away the boulders and beams on the ruins, one on the left and one on the right. Rat Augustus, who was kneeling at the bottom of the ruins, straightened up and looked at Shad Hamilton and Bill Schneider, who were facing the sun behind the white mist, and stretched out their hands to him from a higher place:
"Father Augustus, give us your hand, we will pull you up!"
At that moment, all the despair, doubt and coldness in his heart disappeared. The old man did not hold the hands of the two people, but looked at his right hand, then lowered his head and began to cry.
Xia De looked at this scene in surprise, then looked at the doctor. Professional psychologist Bill Schneider was also stunned, then shook his head at Xia De:
"It's okay, he just needs to vent. Didn't you hear three more heartbeats? Oh, there they are, three kids! Detective, quick!"
He jumped down, and Xia De followed immediately. As he stepped into the deep pit, "she" in his ear said gently:
[Stranger, you have guided a hero. You have some understanding of "guidance".]
[Note, this is the third time you have felt the "Guidance". You will definitely get the Spirit Rune next time, and its type will be determined by the content of the feeling.]
"Hmm? What did I do? No one drew their swords this time, and I didn't discuss justice with anyone~"
The puzzled stranger asked in his heart, "she" did not answer, but her laughter was gentler than usual.
The three unconscious children were quickly transferred to the surface, and the weeping Augustus priest followed them out of the ruins.
At this time, the entire building of the Yuewan City Orphanage had completely collapsed, and the surrounding streets were also severely damaged. Dr. Schneider went to help the priest find his luggage from the ruins. It was nearby, and there were some potions and spellcasting materials in it.
Shade first used holy water to treat the wounds of the priests and children, and then used the liquid treated with [Food of Fullness] to heal the external injuries. Finally, he grabbed the [Night Watcher] and raised it high:
“Sunshine Healing!”
Amplified by the Night Watcher, the warm yellow sunlight, which was brighter and purer than usual, radiated from top to bottom in a cone shape, covering everyone. Even Shade, who was uninjured, felt very comfortable when covered by this light:
"I knew that the power of the Night Watcher's Amplified Daylight series would be even more pronounced."
Thinking in his heart, he found another towel and handed it to the priest. As for the three children, they were now lying on the heating pad that Shade had taken out, sleeping soundly in the sun.
"How did you find me?"
After calming down a little, but with red eyes, Father Augustus asked Shade. At this time, the doctor came back with the suitcase and answered the question for Shade:
"Although the detective and I both knew that you worked at the orphanage, we both thought that you had gone to the Red Heart Orphanage outside the city with the children. I was just fighting those glowing monsters and the blood-sucking monsters that came out of the sewers in the city, and then..."
The blue-eyed psychiatrist frowned slightly, it was hard to describe the feeling:
"The light, um, like the halo that appears at dawn, suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. I thought it was an illusion or a trap, or maybe a strange relic. The detective said that there are many such relics in the Moon Bay area recently. But I still followed the light forward. The light was really warm.
Then I met the detective flying in the air, and he saw the strange halo I was following after he met me. So we moved together and came here, and the detective heard the heartbeat under the ruins, and we both guessed what needed to be done.
The magic of sensing heartbeat combined with [Turning Fossils into Mud] is really convenient in this situation."
"That strange halo had strong traces of miracle elements, but I don't know what it is. But it disappeared after we came here. Its purpose should be for us to rescue you."
Shade said that [Sunshine Healing] was still maintained, and there was an enhancement from [Night Watcher] during the daytime phase, so the healing effect of this spell was perfect.
Father Augustus did not ask how Shade had learned the magic of the Church of the Sun, but just said softly:
"Yes, I just prayed to my Lord [Mr. Liming]. You may have encountered divine revelation."
Shade and the doctor looked at each other in surprise. Just as Shade was about to say something, Father Augustus shook his head:
"Detective, don't waste your energy continuing the treatment. I'm already healed."
He was originally sitting on the ground, but now he stood up by holding the ground. Father Augustus always gave Shade the impression of an old man, but when he straightened up, Shade and the doctor felt that he looked much younger.
Steam mist spread behind Priest Augustus. Amid the whistle and the death-like bell, the priest's four-ring life ring appeared. The core spirit rune [Glimmer] glowed faintly. The priest gently pressed his right shoulder blade, and a special light appeared, then went out.
Father Augustus closed his eyes and let out a long breath, and a strange shadow with spread wings flashed behind his life ring.
Shade and the doctor took a step back in surprise. Father Augustus opened his eyes, shook his head again, and said to Shade:
"Don't worry about the bone anymore. It's fine now."
"Although I still don't quite understand what happened, I'm glad it's okay. The bone belongs to you."
Father Augustus then said to the doctor:
"It will take about half an hour for my strength to fully recover. Could you accompany me and send these three children to the Red Heart Orphanage outside the city?"
"of course."
Dr. Schneider naturally would not refuse:
"I'm worried about you being alone. I don't even dare to think what would have happened if the detective and I hadn't shown up. If those three children had died in front of you, you probably wouldn't have said this. Oh, detective, I'm leaving town with the priest now. We'll be back after we drop the children off. Don't worry, we'll catch up and help you no matter what."
"Don't be so anxious. There is no sign of God descending now."
Xia De shook his head. In fact, he was very worried about them. He didn't want to call all his friends for help, only to have them seriously injured in the end.
Without further ado, the priest and the doctor took the three children and set off immediately. But before leaving, the priest told Shade one more thing:
"These lights and fog are strange. The departed souls are trapped in the fog."
"What do you mean?"
Shade asked, and the priest just explained in a low voice:
"Since this morning, the souls of all those who died in Yuewan City have not gone to where they should go, but have been bound in the fog by the light. Because the breath of death is completely suppressed by the light, there will not be a tide of resentful spirits, but this phenomenon is very wrong."
Shad suddenly thought of the memory of his "past life", in which Miss Brown's soul melted into the light and finally turned into the "Prayer of Light".
"Have those souls dissolved?"
"No, at least not yet."
"I'm more worried about you, the detective, than that."
The doctor raised his eyebrows at Xia De:
"Is what's going to happen later something you can really solve?"
"believe him."
Instead, it was the priest who spoke up for Shad, which shocked both Shad and the doctor. After all, at times like this, the priest was always more worried than anyone else.
Although the old priest's eyes were still red, his hand on Shade's shoulder was unusually strong:
"Since the detective has chosen this path and chosen to stay here, he has his own reasons. We just need to help him as much as possible. The future is in our own hands. Trust him."
Dr. Schneider couldn't help but sigh:
"If we had known that your trip to Moon Bay would be so effective in treating psychological problems, we would have allowed you to come a few months earlier. Well, detective, be careful and we'll be leaving first."
"Be careful."
Father Augustus also spoke to Shad and threw him a bottle of holy water No. 2. Then he and the doctor carried the three children into the fog. The horse pulling the orphanage's carriage was killed by the collapsed stable.
Shade watched them leave, then turned around and prepared to return to Belindel Manor:
"The priest seems to have thought it through. I wonder what Dorothy would think if I told her about this."
But following the doctor and the halo here, he actually made a big detour around the city.
Other buildings on the street where the Yuewan City Orphanage is located were also damaged, but the orphanage was the only building that collapsed completely, so Xia De didn't have to think about helping.
When he found the alley and was about to turn into a red butterfly again in the alley, another person came out from the exit at the other end of the alley.
There was a large black birthmark on the man's face, and he was holding a very strange object in his hand. Above the rectangular bronze handle were four dragon heads facing in four directions, and the eyes of the dragon head facing Shade were glowing red in the mist.
Xia De was startled for a moment, then recognized that the other party was the ring warlock with black dragon scales on his face who had fought with him many times in the [Dragon Feast Cult].
Shade didn't know whether the other party recognized him, but the other party was obviously much stronger than the previous two meetings. When the cultist saw Shade, he stretched his neck without any hesitation, and then the human head immediately turned into a huge black dragon head that was extremely disproportionate to the body. He opened his mouth and spewed out hot black flames in Shade's direction.
The flames rushed along the alley like water flowing along a river, but as a brilliant moonlight appeared, the sword light split the sea of fire and rushed straight towards the dragon head, but was blocked by the strange bronze detector in the hands of the cultist at the last moment.
With a clang, the detector was knocked away and slid diagonally into the wall of the alley. Shade took a step forward and came directly in front of the cultist, swung his sword and cut off the head of the black dragon.
PS: I will add another chapter and ask for votes at the end of the month.
