Operation Red Book

Chapter 436 Black Robe "Undead"

"Joshua! Hold on to me!"

Suddenly, a rough sound came from the water surface, like a falling dumbbell, hitting the blue water.

I saw a "ghost" in a black robe running towards Joshua quickly, and then a pair of large hands broke through the water and grabbed his arms tightly.

His breathing finally became smooth, and Joshua felt dizzy. Then his body was pulled out of the rotating water, and Mrs. Hudson beside him was rescued as well.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough it out! Just cough out the water!"

The "ghost" in front of him took off his mask and black robe, revealing the handsome face underneath.

“Mmmm…Mr. Holmes…cough, cough, cough!”

"Stop talking, and put your teeth and wings back..."

Holmes pressed hard on Joshua's back, as if he was trying hard to hide something.

Joshua licked his fangs for confirmation, and after discovering those two sharp teeth, he realized that the vampire lord in his body had already been impatient.

Mrs. Hudson lay straight on the shore of the lake. Her head had turned into a cluster of dancing blue flames and was being carefully cared for by another "ghost" in a black robe.

"Mr. Jacob, how come you..."

Joshua recognized the familiar little figure at a glance.

"It's all because of you! Black Mass is bloody and dangerous. Without God's help, you are rushing here to die!"

"Repent! You evil spirits who eat souls and steal lives! You must repent!"

It was still that familiar tone. Joshua wrung out the water from his shirt and listened skillfully.

However, there seems to be some important information worth noting in what Jacob said just now...

Soul-eating, life-stealing...evil spirits...

Tsk...souls and evil spirits. Joshua's ears are getting calluses from hearing so much.

Since when have all the gods set their eyes on the fat piece of meat called human soul.

Demons, wizards, the god of death, and even an ancient god who lives in the sea...

So, what is the use of the human soul?

"How is Mrs. Hudson?" asked Holmes, as he took off his black robe.

"It's okay. As long as you can keep this part of your soul, just think of her as sleeping..."

"What do you mean by this part of the soul?" Joshua interrupted hastily, his rudeness causing Jacob's dissatisfaction.

"Tsk... Listen carefully, this little flame is a part of the human soul, about one-fifth."

“I don’t know what method they used to extract this part of the soul.”

"It's cruel and heartless, like cutting a piece of meat off a pig and bandaging it up again."

As he spoke, large groups of blue butterflies flew in groups above the lake and slowly turned into a blue tornado.

The bottomless pit stopped swallowing at this moment, and the water swirled rapidly, pushing out blurry black figures.

A tornado of blue butterflies swarmed forward, and a few seconds later, naked people in the moonlight walked out of it and slowly walked to the shore on the water.

"Those people are missing their souls." Jacob said in a low voice.

"Butterflies complete the missing souls of humans, control their consciousness, and replace their thoughts. This is how they can continue to survive until they grow new souls and continue to be sacrificed the next year."

"So these people are the result of the union of humans and butterflies - 'assemblers'..."

Jacob's voice was so cold that Joshua shuddered violently.

"Joshua!"

Suddenly, Ivy's voice sounded in the distance. Joshua was startled at first, then quickly looked towards the source of the sound.

In the crowd of pumpkins flowing forward, Ivy and Christine struggled to run towards them.

The girls' power was limited, and as they went against the crowd, they obviously encountered layers of resistance.

However, what is even more worrying is that behind them, the number of black "ghosts" has increased without anyone noticing.

They hid in the darkness without making any sound.

There were no facial features carved on the white mask, only two dark eyes, which were made even darker by the light moonlight.

Ivy and Christine, who were eager to look for the person, apparently did not notice what was wrong behind them. They ran stumblingly, being knocked down from time to time, and being swept towards the lake from time to time.

"Student Ivy! Watch out behind you!"

Joshua shouted anxiously to Ivy who was not far away, but when he turned around, he found that he was also surrounded by the black-robed undead.

The new people who were "vomited" out of the bottomless pit had long disappeared. After they came ashore, they automatically put on the black robes of the "undeads" and took the initiative to join the "undead" camp.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer "pumpkin men" here, and more and more "undead men".

"Ah!" A girl's scream suddenly came.

As expected, Ivy and Christine were caught by the black robes that suddenly appeared when they were about to rush out of the crowd.

"Let her go!"

Joshua stood up while shouting, but because he had no strength left, he staggered forward a few steps.

He looked so shabby that none of the "undead" took him seriously.

This made Joshua even angrier.

"I said that!"

Suddenly, his pupils turned red and his expression changed drastically.

"Let her go!"

A pair of large gray-black wings spread out from his back as he roared, pushing the "undeads" in black robes hundreds of meters away.

A tear of blood flowed from Joshua's eyes. He looked painfully at the dazed Ivy and Christine.

"Let me help you, the price is that you sleep for me..."

The voice in his mind suddenly sounded, circling and echoing in Joshua's ears like a wild goose.

This was the voice of Lord Leon. He had been sleeping for a long time, and his voice was lingering and lazy, as if he was not in a hurry to give an immediate answer.

"I……"

"I also don't want to see her thrown into that black hole of unknown origin. Like you, I also want to save her, but your body is too weak..."

"Everyone says you're a skinny monkey, but instead of correcting your behavior, you spread it on bread like butter and eat it raw. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, why don't you reflect on yourself?"

"Promise me you won't hurt her..." Joshua shed another tear of blood.

"Please, I'm a vampire, and I can't even suck blood right now. I can only reluctantly lick your vitality for stability."

"But your skinny body is so useless that it can't last long..."

"Think about it. I don't eat human souls. I just want her love... and maybe some fresh blood..."

"All you have to do is sleep for a while in my consciousness space. I will have to spend some time playing with these ants... just like children, playing boring house games..."

"It's a losing business... It's really a losing business... Hehehehe..."

"I...I..." Joshua seemed unable to hold on any longer.

A mouthful of dark red blood spurted out of his mouth, followed by a pain that pierced his internal organs.

"Joshua!"

Ivy shouted in panic. She tried to throw herself forward, but the black-robed "Undead" behind her grabbed her arms tightly.

"Ms. Ivy!"

Christine stopped Ivy from breaking free. She stared and shook her head, the muscles on her face trembling slightly with tension.

"Joshua! Joshua!"

Holmes quickly held Joshua's arm, covered his red eyes, and pushed the hand to Jacob behind him.

Jacob quickly helped Joshua, who was gasping for breath, and took out a bottle of potion from his arms and gave it to him.

"It's okay, leave this to me..."

Holmes touched the back of Joshua's head and turned and straightened himself.

He looked at the ghostly undead spirits and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Don't move! I'll find someone!"

"Baron Bruce! You violated the government's ban and held a black mass ceremony here! You dare to do such things that go against your conscience, but you don't dare to come out and see people boldly!"

The lakeside suddenly became quiet. No one moved forward, and no one came out to claim this "honor."

"Oh! It seems that someone wants to rebel openly under the Queen's nose!"
