Whispering Verse

"Clerical relic [The Curse of the Beheading of Charles II]. The mortal king who used tyranny in the last era was beheaded by the guillotine in a coup by his subjects. His angry and ugly soul was due to the influence of the strange evil god he worshiped during his lifetime. , transformed into a parasite's curse. The relic's body is a parasite. After being attached to its curse, it will have the ability to safely remove the head from the neck. In the early stage, the head is just separated, but in the later stage, the head will have the ability to fly, become invisible, and breathe fire. Waiting for powerful abilities, this type of infected creature feeds on the brains of intelligent life forms.”

Mr. Madison introduced:

"But don't worry, this lady was cursed to directly parasitize, we are just infected. Every time this relic appears, it must continue to grow from a larval form in order to exert its full power. At present, the 'parasite' is only in its juvenile state , it’s okay to curse ordinary people, but because she has parasitized four of our ring warlocks and consumed too much, causing her own malnutrition, she can’t move herself.”

Both Shade and Dr. Schneider breathed a sigh of relief, while Princess Margaret, disguised as "Miss Mary," was a little confused:

"According to the containment information provided by the academy, even a juvenile parasite would have to infect multiple high-level warlocks to become malnourished to this extent. How did it infect the four of us and become so weak? "

Both Shade and Doctor Schneider were shocked, and both thought it was because of themselves:

"Malnutrition?"

the doctor asked immediately.

"Yes, after all, it is only a clerical level. The parasite curse follows instinct and wants to infect as many powerful individuals as possible. Fortunately, there are no ordinary people here. Otherwise, not only will the other party be infected and die instantly, but the parasite will even multiply into two. , things will be even more troublesome by then.”

Hearing the word "death", Shade and the doctor looked at Mr. Jims who was sleeping on his stomach on the other table. This gentleman is sleeping soundly now, and the doctor's hypnosis is very professional.

"What should we do now?"

Shade asked.

"Suppress her."

Mr. Madison pointed at the frozen woman:

"She only has some instincts left now, but she still has strong attack power. We need to work together to subdue her and then contain her."

"She's powerful?"

Dr. Schneider asked.

"No, the key is that we can't arouse ordinary people's ideas."

Princess Margaret said softly. Although her appearance was disguised, her voice was not disguised, so she deliberately lowered her voice to make it look like her lungs had been injured.

The doctor nodded:

"Then how about discussing countermeasures now? I'll do it."

"No, no, since I couldn't subdue her immediately, I'm afraid the situation is a little troublesome now."

Mr. Madison spoke faster:

"I will take action first in a moment. After it receives a fatal threat, its head will abandon the body and be separated. I will stay here to guard the body and prepare containment measures. You can go chase the separated head. After capturing the head, send it back as soon as possible. Pay attention. , be sure not to make too much noise."

"How strong is a head alone?"

Shade asked, Mr. Madison shook his head slightly and looked at Miss Margaret, who said:

"It's equivalent to a mid-level warlock, but in the current situation only instinct is left, so there is almost no wisdom. The only thing that needs to be noted is that we are also infected by parasites, and it has the power to take off our heads, so we cannot let the head body Touch our heads.”

"Understood, I think it's okay."

The doctor nodded. If it was just the middle ring, he thought it would be fine:

"But Alan, Shade and I were accidentally involved. After this incident is over, you have to pay us."

"This is a commission from the academy that I accepted. After the matter is over, I can pay each person twenty pounds."

Princess Margaret said, and Shade nodded to the doctor, who also thought it was okay.

"Do it in three seconds"

Mr. Madison said slightly nervously, holding a brass metal rod in each hand. The metal surface was densely engraved:

"3, 2, 1!"

The two metal rods were like flying bullets, instantly piercing both sides of the motionless woman's shoulders. The metal rod remained inside her body, and copper-colored runes poured out of the wound like water, spreading toward her neck area.

The woman's originally frozen expression immediately came to life, and she stared at the four people with malicious expressions, but the ring magicians remained unmoved. As the whispering elements fluctuated, just as Mr. Madison said, the head flew up from the woman's neck in a terrifying way.

But the four people's eyes were dazzled. One head in the air turned into two, and then they flew downwards at the same time and quickly flew to different places along the floor.

"What?"

Dr. Schneider was surprised, but he was very experienced:

"Xia De, split up."

As he spoke, he quickly chased after the head flying towards the ground at the top of the stairs. This scene was extremely scary. Fortunately, there was no one on the second floor, and it was even harder to see the head flying towards the ground.

Mr. Madison took off his coat and threw himself at the headless woman. This body also had the power of the relic attached to it. Shade didn't hesitate and immediately chased the other head. Princess Margaret knew that Dr. Schneider was the team leader and had the highest rank, so she followed Shade.

The terrifying "flying head" was extremely fast. It did not choose to go upstairs or downstairs, but flew straight to the deserted wall, and then flew out from the high window.

"Hurry up!"

Princess Margaret came from behind Shade and found a deserted alley outside the window, so she jumped down directly by her skirt.

Knowing that this trip would involve fighting, Her Royal Highness wore a pair of flat shoes. Relying on her strong physical fitness, she landed smoothly and straightened up in the haze-swept alley. At the same time, a large amount of steam mist appeared behind Margaret Anjou.

The whistle blows and the bells ring. The four-ringed sorcerer's life ring appeared behind the princess in the scorching white fog. As the core spirit rune [Doll] flashed with aura, the sorceress took off the keychain-like toy doll from her waist. The doll Floating in the air, as the sorceress touched the index and middle fingers of her right hand and her left hand and recited the incantation in a low voice, the aura attached to the finger-sized keychain continued to grow in size until it turned into a half-human-sized little boy wearing a black hat.

The wooden structure of the joints is very obvious, the hat is directly glued to the head, and the eyes made of two buttons make the doll look even weirder:

"Jack the Killer."

Princess Margaret read out the name of the doll, and "Jack the Killer" bowed to the princess, then held a dagger and prepared to attack vigilantly.

The smog situation in the city is really serious this afternoon. In the windless and remote alleys of Xiacheng District, the visibility does not even exceed ten meters.

The princess smelled the disgusting pungent smell in the alley, stepped on the mud of unknown nature under her feet, and tried to capture the head hidden in the fog with her puppet.

Just thinking about a flying human head peering at her in the fog made Margaret Anjou feel goosebumps appear on her arms. It is precisely because of this uneasiness that she becomes more focused, allowing her to capture as many traces of the relic as possible.

"There!"

She suddenly reached out and pointed to the right, and the "Killer Jack" doll rushed over with a dagger, but after going deep into the fog, she found nothing.

At this moment, a dark shadow appeared in the thick fog behind the princess. Margaret Anjou had already guessed that the other party would make a sneak attack. She pressed the sapphire ring on her index finger with her right thumb, turned around and pointed the ring behind her:

"still!"

The spell exerted its power, and the thick fog stirred by the flow of air seemed to freeze in the field of vision. But the black shadow in the thick fog is still flying, but the flying speed is extremely slow:

"Killer Jack!"

The aura projected by the core spirit rune is more powerful, and the miracle spirit rune [Sharp Blade] also attaches the aura to the doll. The dagger in the hand of the puppet seemed to squirm and grow longer. It rushed into the fog and slashed at the human head with the knife, but the metal dagger collided with the skull and actually caused sparks to appear.

"What?"

Immediately afterwards, the man opened his mouth and bit the dagger, biting out a gap in the dagger.

Princess Margaret frowned slightly, stepped back quickly, and wanted to touch the other doll hanging around her waist.

But at this time, a new black shadow appeared again in the thick fog behind her. The sorceress immediately gave up casting spells, turned around quickly and blew gently in front of her.

The cold current blew out from the red lips painted with lipstick, and the frost spread towards the thick fog, but it only stopped the speed of the second head, and did not stop it from continuing to approach:

"You can actually have clones. Which one is the main body?"

at this moment

"Ma'am, back off!"

The bright moonlight fell from the fog above, and for a moment she almost thought she was seeing the moonlight during the day.

The silver moonlight broke through the gray fog and struck the woman close to her on the head. The human head, which the dagger could not pierce, actually turned into black mud and fell to the ground under the moonlight.

In the sky covered with thick fog, Shade broke through the fog and fell from the sky. After his feet touched the ground, there was almost no unloading movement. The body jumped forward against the downward inertia, and pounced on the first human head fighting the puppet like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.

"Mind blast!"

With one punch, the head exploded into pieces before the fist got close to the head. But there were no strange red and white liquids flying around, and there was still only black mud in the exploded heads.

"That head can still clone itself!"

Princess Margaret reminded.

"Yes."

Shade said that he jumped down to help when he saw something was wrong from above.

He grabbed the princess's puppet, brought it to join the princess despite the slight resistance from the latter, and then looked at the thick fog in front of him with a serious expression. Princess Margaret's eyesight was not as good as Shad's, so she was still wondering what Shad was looking at at first.

But then, she saw dense black shadows squirming closer from the depths of the gray mist. There were low murmurs, like corpses moaning in a cemetery at night. She felt instinctive discomfort, and at the same time, the black lines on her fair neck were itching.

Shade stood in front of Princess Margaret, but the princess could still clearly see that the dense black shadows that were gradually approaching were hundreds of human heads. The hair is connected into a web in the fog, and the ferocious-looking human heads overlap one after another, like maggots in rotten food or insect eggs in a dirty puddle. Those flying heads rushed toward them like a dense wall of human heads.
