She calculated the distance and the time first, and as she had driven the coachman to venture the short cut through the forest, she judged herself to be ahead of her father. And it was true, the wagon she was riding in had just returned to the gate shortly before two mine watchmen marched up to it from within. Anna hid in the shadows and listened quietly, and could hear the conversation between them.

The room fell silent as a senior police officer finally took his place at the head of the long table. The senior police officer was a middle-aged white man, dressed in a stern police uniform, with a clean shaven face and gleaming brown eyes beneath bushy white eyebrows and a solemn expression. He nodded and saluted the noble lords and old hunters seated at the head of the long table to the left and right, before clearing his throat and calling the meeting to order.

They had been sent specifically to greet her father, and were talking to each other about gossipy rumors of Viscount Grulla

    "I have a matter to enquire about. I was hospitalised after the Kayleigh Buchanan incident and shortly after I woke up the Hunters and the police had sent to me to take statements from me about my affair with Professor Iblake Wood. I have also told you that in late November I took delivery of a corpse of a corpse waxed male from the Guttenberg district, tentatively identified as a miner from the mine. The body was stolen that night, after which it developed a bestial mutation and ran away from Professor Iblake Wood's laboratory, and its whereabouts are unknown to this day. I therefore suspected Iblake Wood and followed him, having followed him to the St. Stone No. 9 mine on November 9 and witnessed him enter the interior of the mine. I would like to ask if you, the Hunters, and the police have since arraigned Iblake Wood, and if you have obtained from him the means of entering the mine? Or also any other information about the mine?" Esme Crane has not yet visited or seen the magnifice

    Anna's face changed abruptly, her father seemed to have revealed a great deal in just a few words that could not help but lead her to speculate in a hundred different ways. She withdrew her hands from supporting her father and rested them on her knees, and after a moment of silent thought, said. Just as the beam light was lit, a figure emerged from the fog in the distance, and it was only when it was close enough that Esme Crane recognized it as Louis Holmes. When Louis Holmes saw her, she could not help but breathe a long sigh of relief and grabbed Esme Crane's arm, saying. "I'll be at the entrance, I'll knock on the iron door and you'll find me by following the sound." Abbott said. His divination did not comfort the hunters at all, nor did it provide any useful clues. Esme Crane, as a new hunter, was not very capable, so she was placed in the inner part of the group, beside Louis Holmes, who was carrying a Miao sword. kept inching forward.

    The exhausted hunters were panting and resting in place, watching the monster disappear, when suddenly a dull "rumble" came again, and the ground suddenly shook like an earthquake, as if there was some horrible existence under the ground that was angry. The hunters looked at each other, only to feel a chill down their spine, the cold hair standing up. Unfortunately due to the underestimation of the operation, the number of Shield Hunters was not enough to allocate among the six groups, and a significant portion of the groups only had one Shield Hunter, or two.Esme Crane and their group only had two Shield Hunters, two strong attack type Hunters, and two Warlock Hunters. Louis Holmes said in a loud voice. Esme Crane, who was suddenly under the gaze of the crowd, felt an odd sensation rise up in her soul. It was hard to describe, she could only say that it was a change in her psychic senses due to the change in her role and state. In the less than three weeks that she had been in the M

    Sule replied, ''Yes, but that is my speculation. This monster appeared through a metamorphosis, before that it seemed to be in the state of a bestial human, and according to the information we have so far, bestial humans are all created by human experimentation, and there is definitely more than one, so it is likely that there is more than one of that monster in the party as well." Esme Crane's lips were slightly parted and her eyes wavered. It was obvious that the words were so soft, but her heart felt like it had been hit hard, dull and painless, and then instead an indescribable warmth welled up and wrapped itself around her heart. "What about the mental aspect? Feel any discomfort?" Doris asked again. A few hunters around Doris, sporadically, responded. At that moment, in the distance, Doris called out, "Professor Gibson Mcknighten, please come." "Okay, if there's a problem, make sure you talk to me." Doris admonished. "This time he led the charge that led to the explorer cor

    "Maybe we need to investigate around here." Anna said as she slipped the book into the inside pocket of her riding suit. "You guys come over here for a second and see if you can get this room open. This should be the finance room, and I see the safe." "Creak", the door was slowly pushed open, Louis Holmes did not rush in, holding the hilt of his sword, ready to draw it. The darkened room was illuminated by the cold light of the insight beam lamp Louis Holmes was wearing. Inside was a mess, the wooden floor was stained with a large number of wet and sticky footprints, there were papers scattered everywhere that had rotted after being soaked with water, and near the sight, a few desks fell to the east, and the item cabinets had all fallen down, scattering items all over the place. The place looked like a big mess had been made. "What's going on?" The old hunter felt bad. "Then this is the third time you've met tonight, you're so lucky." Louis Holmes said softly. In fact, I've been w

    Anna analyzed, "Judging by the current temperature and environment, as well as the level of spoilage of these meats, the longest storage time for these meats that were harvested and stored here, even with yards of salt, would not be more than a month... In other words, since a month ago, the mine has been forced to stop feeding, so much so that the meat that was originally harvested and brought back has no one to handle it." Nonetheless, that hunter took a chance and tried. She was a female hunter, with a yellow face and an ordinary-looking, somewhat unremarkable appearance. She pressed her palm to the mad cop's forehead, closed her eyes, and began to cast the spell. After a few moments, she could clearly see her face flush up, sweat spilling out, and her expression becoming painful. "No... All dead, all dead, evil gods! Gods bless, Gods bless!" The man began desperately kowtowing on his knees, expressing his gratitude to the gods of Mojo, but all but unable to answer Anna's question

    About two or three hundred meters into the march, the old hunter seemed to sense that something was wrong, and spoke out to the third detachment scouting ahead of him. Yena tried to contact the main Hunter group again using the communication sapphire, but it didn't go well for a while and she hadn't been able to get a response. Somewhat to her surprise, though, she received a message from the leader of Detachment Four. She hurriedly greeted the two superintendents and gathered around to listen to the quad leader recount the discovery at the core of the mine, and that's how she found out that the main group had actually gone down to the mine. Esme Crane had just launched several attacks on the creature with her unfurled serrated whip, and now her hunter's clothes were splattered with blood, so the clean-loving woman stood aside and shook the blood stains off her staff whip, then held it at her side with her right hand and patted the blood stain on her right shoulder with her left.

    The three men gulped in unison and tightened their grip on their weapons, sweat already spilling out of their palms uncontrollably. The old hunter and Doris took up the fight themselves, behind them. God, please save your people... Anna, who had never believed in God, began to pray inwardly and silently out of instinct at this time, that they might still survive today. And Esme Crane was barely able to save one Anna, how else was she going to save so many? There was no way she was going to stick her head in every single one of them. Based on Anna's party's reaction, she surmised that the Hunters were collectively under some sort of mental suppression and temptation at the moment, and if she awakened their self-awareness, it would intensify the confrontation, leaving her brain in endless pain. The only way out of this was that she had to head to the core of those monsters' pilgrimage alone and take out that innermost monster. Esme Crane hurried along with the crowd to get a closer lo

    "Professor!" Someone called out to her from her side. She turned around to see two female students trotting towards her. "Good morning, Professor. We happen to have some questions for you." She suddenly got a lump in her throat. "Professor?" The two female students looked at her strangely. "Sorry, I seem to have forgotten something. What did you guys want to ask?" She replied as she control her emotions. The two students had no doubts and asked several academic questions. Despite the very different times, she answered their questions without hesitation, as if her academic literacy had kept up with the times. But questions still linger deep inside her. Where is Esme Crane? What the hell is going on? She walked with the two female students to the building, entered the classroom, and started teaching as she was supposed to. It was as if she has done it before, and it didn't feel out of place. The long 90-minute session had finally ended, and she had completed her teaching d

    Esme Crane's world... That was her second thought.Suddenly, she realized that she was actually in tears.She felt a moment of unprecedented peace as all the sights of her short life swept through her mind in a flash. She gathered her last strength and used her strongest burst of power to stab at the All-Seeing Eye above the Blood Infant.Polaris could not remember how many times he had fought and killed, so much so that when he turned back, there were few of his companions left around him, and the ground was full of ambulatory bodies, all of the Shadow Assassins who could not maintain their Shadow spells, revealing their bodies in the darkness.The blood baby in Jeremiah Moore's belly then let out a horrible cry, and all of the Shadow Assassins' internal organs were shaken and bleeding, and many of them turned blind and deaf in an instant.He needed to go on a tour of the world and find a place where he could enjoy the dragon's food.A horr

    Some field trumpeter, inspired by the sound of the heavens, blew the Internationale on his trumpet. The loud sound of the trumpet stirred up the excitement and pride that had been suppressed for years, decades, centuries and even thousands of years in all of them, and they sang the Internationale in unison, which at once dealt the deadliest blow to the enemy, who fell to their knees and clutched their heads in agony, their eyes wide open.Esme Crane knew it wasn't Anna talking to her, it was Naija."God is eternally alone, and this is the fifth law by which you become a god.Esme Crane, you abandoned me long ago, and you have long since ceased to be a part of me. You replaced me, and you are the world god now." She sobbed with grief and anger.Esme Crane was forced to take a step back, her coat fluttering, but her expression remained calm.From among the seams of the bandage, wisps of black flesh and blood would seep out. It was as if the inside of the ban

    This tall knight, the leader of the Shadow Knights, was manipulated by Bolaris himself. The leader slowly drew his sword at his waist, while hundreds of red eyes glowed behind him, opening in the shadows.Cecily's words startled Polaris, "What does omnipresent mean?""Because of my particular experience within the Tower, I have a strong aura of Jugzoth, and my spirit world is always trapped in the temporal labyrinth within the Tower, isolated from the world. Only a very small part of it was able to return, and thus I was like a ghost, unable to return fully.The other swirling painting hanging above the wall behind him gradually subsided, returning to the paint on top of the canvas. And at that moment Cecily's state became very eerie as he placed the horse lamp on the floor and slowly sat down, curling up into a ball."The blood pact is still in effect."

They could make out the massive outline of the pyramid, and the countless thick, ghastly tentacles poking out from the square hole that hung upside down above it.Without responding to Bella's observation, Doris digressed to say.This floating spell, which belongs to the category of gravitational control, also belongs to the Yellow King Hasta lineage, and higher up, it is subordinate to Jugzoth, a power that restrains Cthulhu.Those were the last words Paulina passed back, words that conveyed only one meaning - jade and stone.Paulina's dark face broke into a placid smile as she addressed the trio.To their dismay, they discovered that the entire ship had been fished up f

    "So what's next?" The mission still had to continue to be completed, and staying stranded here, even if she did nothing, was just waiting to die.Even the lights on the ship were out, and the darkness wrapped so densely around everyone's nerves, and the tension so oppressed them, that it was surprising to see dense dots of tiny light appear before their eyes, as if they were hallucinations.As the ship is rapidly propelled by the hurricane and angry waves into the very heart of the storm, the call gradually becomes louder and louder, and when the music of the Internationale playing on the ship can't drown out the eerie, brain-penetrating call, Louis Holmes and Paulina lead the entire crew to start singing the Internationale on their own as a way to counter the call.Apes migrated and began to spread all over the world.

    Esme Crane's death is the condition that triggers the sacrifice; Esme Crane is passively a sacrificial executioner. And there are two ways for Esme Crane to die, one is that she betrayed Anna, which will directly lead to the destruction of the foundation of her personality and the complete stripping away of the Godhead built on it. The second is that she was forcibly separated from her personality and Godhead by an outside force, and her personality fell and her Godhead was recycled and snowed away.Polaris Halsman was so mentally traumatized by his encounter with Dagon's abuse of his master, Old Hunter Suler, during his trip to Ringo that he fell into semi-madness.So only by concentrating on destroying the Church, which is so immensely sacred in the minds of these people, is it possible in a short time to crack their illusionary dreams and awaken their self-will.Macroscopic systems always tend towards a state of extreme entropy, and if an external force exist

    There is no starry sky, no future, no past, no life. All is annihilated and dissolved, not a single particle exists, all sorrow and joy is a bubble, millions of years of evolution, not given any meaning.Paulina shouted for everyone to close the audition immediately, stop and crawl down, not to move. They were thus prostrate in the midst of the storm in the thorny jungle below the cliff, until the blood moon that had crowded in suddenly dissipated, and the abnormal sensation gradually returned.And it was the death of Esme Crane that induced Anna's sacrifice.The evil fallen world god let out a shrill whistle that was inaudible to human ears and raised the cross above his head, inspiring the power of the white flesh and blood cross.The process of sacrifice requires the party performing the sacrifice to kill the sacrificed in some way, while the party receiving the sacrifice can acquire some trait of the sacrificed to grow itself. This process must involv
