Abyss Express - #706 - Chapter 685 Act17 Never Enough
Chapter t.17 Never Enough·Never Enough
[Part ①·God is not in his favor]
The Governor’s attitude softened somewhat, and the Minister of War saw that the Emperor was not anxious about the eunuchs – he was terribly anxious, and felt that the demonic sound played by the lute was so annoying.
In response to the rhythm of the music, this loyal law enforcer had no choice but to raise his broken gong voice and squeeze into the guagua band to sing loudly.
“Midnight!~”
The officers and soldiers started shouting: “Midnight!~”
“Isn’t there anything wrong with a weirdo selling candy? Knowing the law and breaking it?”
Guagua responded: “There’s nothing wrong with it!”
The Minister of War blushed: “Ring the bell at the last minute! Can’t you hear the bell?”
The brothers in the inner palace shouted together: “Ding dong! Ding dong!”
First mate Ethan stepped forward: “The flood season is here, the sea must be crazy~~~”
“Oh, okay!” The Minister of War puffed up his cheeks, and his singing voice became louder and louder. He seemed to have entered the state, and he opened his voice: “Procedural justice! Should we abandon it like this!~”
“Da Xia can’t tolerate any favors?!~” Meteor took half a step forward at the right moment.
“Actually, I’m not that arrogant or unreasonable,” the Governor muttered in a low voice.
Flavia played the second part and walked to the front of the crowd.
“Your Majesty the Governor! Look at me, who is all alone!~”
“I can’t fight back if I hit you, and I can’t retaliate if I scold you.”
The neighbors who were kneeling and kowtow also joined Flavia in begging for mercy.
“I just want to ask for a few candies from the hand of the female Bodhisattva!~~”
The dogs in Old Man Li’s house lowered their bodies and wanted to whimper.
“Please don’t drive them away!~” Flavia held up her arms and stood up with a complicated expression.
Zheng Dake wants to say something else——
——Guagua immediately interrupted.
“Even if it breaks her heart?~”
The Minister of War is going to whisper in the Governor’s ear.
First Mate Ethan followed immediately.
“No need to work hard to lose weight?~”
The governor’s face was full of melancholy: “I’m sorry. I can’t bear to obey.”
“How about one more?~” Guagua stuffed another candy into the governor’s mouth.
The Governor lost his soul and his eyes lit up: “Well, I am indeed obsessed with sweets.”
First Mate Ethan struck while the iron was hot: “Even if you have a big belly? Who cares the most?”
“Ma’am, I care.” The governor felt embarrassed.
Guagua took a box from Flavia’s arms and said, “Sending you another piece of happiness!~~”
“This is bribery! This is bribery!” The Minister of War was about to make a loud noise.
The governor pinched the mustache’s mouth with his thick and fat palms, and pressed the deputy Noisy into the sedan chair.
Guagua sang in a low voice: “When the bell rings for the fourth watch.”
Lord Governor: “Every second is the beginning of spring.”
Ethan: “Diners come and go in a hurry, just for a bite of chocolate!~”
The Governor finally nodded and sang boldly with a loud voice.
“I’ve been loving it since I was little~~~~~~~!~~~”
The maracas and the lute played cheerful notes, and the governor was contented to lead the inner team away.
Meteor clenched his fists, raised his arms and shouted, “Okay!”
The sound of the piano and the singing both have a kind of magic power, although it is not as overbearing and arrogant as Gloria Sebastian’s dice. Captain Guagua showed his amazing talent and convinced the Governor of Dongma Port.
Although it was agreed that the stall would be closed at the fourth watch, the guests did not dare to stay any longer and slipped back home as if they were fleeing.
There were dark clouds gathering in the sky, and in this hot midsummer season, a cold and biting sea breeze blew from No. 2 Bay Pier!
Flavia heard the sound of the lute and was once again affected by the psychic tide——
——There are several mind control effects intertwined with each other, making the evil thoughts in her heart more and more powerful. Just like her former drug-making career, she always had to try drugs herself. Her mind was deeply trapped in a variety of hallucinogenic chemicals, becoming more and more irritable and angry.
Gua Gua just wanted to say hello——
——Flaviya pulled the lute and hit it hard on the hemp rope and wooden stakes on the dock again!
The neck was broken into two pieces again, and the nylon string and catgut were torn together!
“Stop playing! Stop playing!!!”
She covered her ears and felt that there were a thousand or ten thousand voices in her head.
Captain Guagua and First Officer Ethan didn’t know what happened, they only knew that Flavia was in pain.
“Should I say sorry?” This was Gua Gua’s second piano. To be honest, he was a little angry: “Forget it! I still have the last piano!”
First mate Ethan stayed close to Flavia’s side, his rickets gently patting the passenger’s vest.
“Maybe it’s seasickness? Boss, Ms. Flavia needs to rest, so don’t worry about your broken piano.”
Captain Guagua said angrily: “What do you think it is? Broken Qin?!”
“Wait until we get back to Eureka! I’ll give you a brand new one!” First Mate Ethan is a simple and honest man, in his early forties, and doesn’t care about these extraneous things: “Ms. Flavia needs to rest, let’s take it Will the candy cart be pushed back to the church?”
“Brothers?” Meteor noticed something and suddenly looked at the dock toward the southwest of Pompeii Sea.
Guagua and Ethan helped Flavia up together.
“Brothers?” The crying general’s tone became urgent, “Can someone tell me why there is such a big black cloud in the sky? It seems…”
Before he finished speaking, a ball of ice flowers suddenly exploded in the quiet harbor pier.
Hail as big as a watermelon smashed a deep crater into the board and created a splash of water more than two meters high.
“Holy shit!” Meteor cursed and hurriedly pushed the car towards Queshan Street.
Guagua and Ethan picked up the unconscious Flavia and followed them——
——This snowstorm came so quickly and so strangely!
It was like a lingering ghost. Dense hailstones fell in front of and behind everyone, catching the meteor off guard. Just when I was about to run out of the vegetable market, the sign at the entrance was smashed to pieces by ice cubes! We can’t go any further!
Looking at the floor tiles in the market, which were all upturned, and the hail smashed into deep pits, Meteor immediately used the candy cart as an umbrella, protected his companions under the cart, and fled towards Xicheng District with difficulty.
Guagua: “June Feixue is not unjust! What’s going on!”
Ethan pointed somewhere: “The hail seems to be following us!”
Meteor turned around and looked in the direction pointed by the first mate, and saw the intact fishing boat and the Huacheng Bay inspection team.
There was a crackling sound overhead, and the road behind him had been turned into briquettes by hail!
“It seems to be coming towards us!” Meteor screamed: “It’s a soul power attack!”
[Part②·Axue]
At the end of Queshan Street, at the high point of the terrace of the Bacchus Church.
The baroness invited a very powerful helper. If your memory is good, let us go back to the little brother Li Fengtang in Emeo County, Fufeng Mountain. His father and mother died in the cold current and snow.
This “Snow Empress” is one of the most powerful new forces in Shambhala among the many branch sects of the Guiyi Holy Sect.
She was invited to come to Gloria Sebastian’s side and come to the Dionysian Church as a guest, and she also wanted to participate in this bet.
“It’s past twelve o’clock. It’s not a foul if we do it now.” Gloria said this and poured a glass of golden ale for the Snow Empress herself.
The rich and mellow taste of human flesh in the wine glass made the guests’ fingers twitch—
——As the name of this guest goes, she has silver hair as bright as white snow, and her blood-giving characteristics are very obvious.
A pair of wolf ears stood on top of his head, and his skull was slightly deformed. This was a disease of lycanthropy caused by starvation and not being able to eat delicious human flesh.
She has no human ears, her lips are black, and her mouth and nose have the characteristics of a lapis wolf dog. She still maintains the basic human shape with three courts and five eyes. Thick hair grows on her temples, her face is blue and white, and her two eyes are blood red.
The hair on the top of his head was cut short, and the pair of towering wolf ears trembled from time to time, listening carefully to the sound of hail falling to the ground in the distance like firecrackers.
Empress Xue took the wine glass casually, and without any taboo on human flesh, she drank the pure essence in one gulp.
“Master Feather, what do you want me to do next?”
Dame Gloria: “Drive him to the west of the city! Rush to the Violet Sunrise Hotel! Someone will entertain him!”
“[Virtual Insanity·Virtual Crazy]! Then let the hail fall!” The Snow Queen waved her hand, and a divine messenger swallowing clouds and mist emerged from her broad sleeve robe——
——It is tall and burly, like a standing giant wolf, and is wrapped in a layer of gold and blue leather and cloth armor. The fur is pale and free of dirt and color.
Its mouth and nose spit out a strong spiritual energy tide, which went all the way to the sky and was closely connected with the dark clouds at the dock port.
Gloria watched this scene contentedly, stretched her legs and slumped down on the soft cloth chair – soon, this hailstorm would take the crying general to the next gambling location.
“I heard that General Crying married a Lapis Lazuli.”
Snow Empress did not respond.
Gloria then asked: “Axue, you are also a green gold, right?”
Snow Empress still didn’t respond and was concentrating on her work.
Gloria: “At least it was?”
“Master Feather, please forgive me for being rude.” The Snow Empress activated her soul power and continued to release hailstones. She turned around and glanced impatiently at the Eternal One: “I don’t want to talk about this past incident – if you must get to the bottom of it, tell me a standard Answer.”
“Then I can freely admit that I was once a lapis lazuli guard.”
“I work for Tianqiong Station, I work for the City of Tears, and I work for Aohun Mingde.”
Gloria is not serious, and it seems that opening other people’s wounds is a kind of fun for her – she also has this despicable attitude towards Flavia and Duran, and she can’t wait to dig out all the dark history of others.
“Why did you suddenly think of joining the Guiyi Holy Cult?”
“This is not sudden.” Ashue had already thrown away his previous name, including the pyroxene and the stick: “It’s not a light word from your mouth.”
“Because of Operation Chastity?” Gloria asked, “Or is it because the welfare benefits here are better?”
At this point, Ashue stopped talking——
——She remained motionless, staying beside Lord Feather, continuing to maintain her soul power.
Master Feather’s statement is about Gloria Sebastian’s true identity.
This croupier, who was addicted to gambling, was one of the three feathers of Judas.
[Flame·Forever丨Eternal Fire of Hell]——
– She is like a devil who just picks up the dice. If you make a deal with this dealer, you will never be able to escape the catastrophe of hell, and you will never be reincarnated.
Judas used the power of “Sing For Me” to predict good and bad luck. He worked overtime preaching for seven days throughout the year and never encountered a life or death crisis. He relied on this small dice.
When he comes to a new area, Judas will always pray to the God of Dionysus before he pulls the head of the founder. The dice will indicate the good or bad trend of the subsequent development of things. This is an extremely important talisman for the leader of the alliance. Just like the innkeeper whom Meteor and his friends met when they first arrived at Dongma Port – when the innkeeper rolls the dice, he can know whether the business is good or not today.
“What a ghost!”
At the same time, Meteor carried the twisted and deformed frame and fled into the stable of the Violet Sunrise Hotel.
The crying general cursed, and when he threw the frame, he felt lucky to have escaped death——
——If he was hit by this hailstone, his brain would be splashed all over the ground.
Looking at the small tricycle of the candy float that Flavia carefully prepared, it is now crooked and full of dents, and the window glass is completely broken. Fortunately, the candies were sold out early and no goods were lost.
The four of them hid in the stable and were just about to sit down and rest when Captain Guagua said immediately.
“There’s something weird about this place!”
Meteor asked: “What’s wrong?”
“General Crying, you said this hailstone was a spirit attack. Why didn’t it follow us in?” Captain Guagua pointed to the street outside the stable. The large hailstones were still fierce, and from time to time, ice particles splashed on the threshold of the shed. But not a single piece of ice fell on the roof.
“Hey!” Meteor was also dumbfounded——
——His limited wisdom seemed to be stretched at the moment, and he felt that his brain was not enough, so he boldly speculated.
“We entered the building, and the guy who launched the soul attack couldn’t see us! So he didn’t follow us.”
Guagua: “It makes sense!”
Ethan nodded: “It seems… that’s indeed the case.”
The enemy could control the weather to carry out long-range strikes. This was something Meteor had not expected. It was beyond his cognitive scope. During the six or seven years of the expedition, he had never seen any blood-giving monster with such powerful special spiritual powers. This kind of The large-scale destruction skill is supposed to consume a lot of mental energy – but the hailstorm lasted for more than ten minutes without stopping.
Gradually, he also began to doubt himself.
Is this really a soul power attack?
At this time, a young man came to the stable from the hotel courtyard.
“Several guests!”
Judging from the appearance, he is a groom who takes care of the guests on their horses. In modern society, this position should be called a doorman or a parking attendant.
“Come to the hotel lobby! The weather is terrible! Don’t stay in the stable and get cold!”
As the groom said this, Meteor glanced at Flavia – the grumpy little aunt was still unconscious and needed a quiet and warm environment to rest.
Looking at her arms again, she was holding the money bag tightly even though she was asleep. The money in her pocket should be enough to pay for the room.
“Have a night’s rest in the hotel?” General Crying asked.
Guagua shrugged helplessly: “What else can I do!”
First Mate Ethan agreed: “Let’s go!”
When we arrived at the front lobby, there were not many customers since it was curfew time, and only the night shift waiter was waiting at the counter.
The groom boy left in a hurry, and the lobby manager greeted him respectfully and introduced the hotel——
“——Welcome to Tequila Sunrise Hotel.”
“This sudden snowstorm brought us together, which is also a kind of fate.”
“But don’t worry! The owner of this business is a believer in the Church of Dionysus. The power of Dionysus will protect us and protect this sacred place from the evil spirits of wind and snow!”
At this time, Meteor finally came to his senses.
“oh.”
He glanced at his phone and saw that it was not even twelve twenty-five, just like the outrageous parents in the readership group who started saying “I’m going to die if there is no update!” just after twelve o’clock – it was never enough.
A new day has come, and so has a new bet.
“Does this force me to clock in to work?”
