Chapter 191 Unknown Motive
Passing through the woods and crossing the artificial lake, under the favor of the wind, Qilingus got rid of the pursuers behind him.
He looked around, intending to pretend to sneak into the Tussock River along the canal to escape, and then turned around and ran into Backlund's economic center, Hillston District.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly blurred, and he saw that the various colors in the darkness became extremely intense.
The turquoise trees are greener, the bright red fruits are brighter red, the dark water surface is darker, everything is like a canvas that has been splashed with oil paint.
And in the high sky covered by the crimson moon, there are countless transparent shadows with indescribable shapes, and there are bright and pure brilliance of different colors that contain mysterious knowledge.
Qilingus found himself paused, floating in mid-air, under his feet was the rising dark water surface, under the water surface there were pale palms grasping outwards.
Oops! Qilingus knew that he was ambushed by others.
And the strength of the ambush is definitely not low!
A huge human-shaped skeleton suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. This monster was four meters high, with black flames burning in its eye sockets, and the white bones were illusory and hazy.
Qilingus stared at the enemy without emotion, and a sneer was drawn at the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, the glove on his left palm glowed brilliantly, as if it were made of pure gold.
Qilingus leaned back with his arms outstretched, as if embracing the sun.
A pure, blazing brilliance suddenly descended from the sky, covering the huge skeleton, and the entire oil painting-like world shook violently, and the pale palms under the dark water steamed one after another.
This is the extraordinary ability of the "Priest of Light"!
This is the extraordinary ability of Sequence 5 of the "Sun" pathway!
This is the nemesis of the undead!
The brilliant beam of light dissipated, and the black flames in the eye sockets of the huge skeleton were extinguished instantly, and then became transparent, dissipating into the air inch by inch.
Before Qilingus could use the ability of "Priest of Light" to break the oil painting world again, his expression froze.
He saw another huge skeleton appearing on his left, nearly four meters tall, with black flames burning in its eye sockets, exactly the same as the monster just now.
Immediately afterwards, the same skeleton monsters appeared one after another around Qilingos, one, two, three... more than a hundred of them!
Those hundreds of pairs of eyes burning with pitch-black flames cast their sights on the target at the same time.
And below, the dark water surface was getting higher and higher, and it was about to touch the soles of Qilingos' feet.
Pale, illusory palms grew out again, and they kept waving upwards, trying to grab the straw for life.
…………
"Scatter to chase and try to contain it." Ace Snake, Cardinal of the Church of the Storms, ordered, soaring into the sky in the sudden hurricane, and flew to the direction where Qilingus was fleeing.
Duke Negan and the others did not join the ranks of the "Punishers". They stood by the window and watched from the balcony. At this time, the ordinary nobles who were running around in a panic slowly calmed down.
Because there was darkness before, and there were shouts and shouts one after another, they didn't know exactly what happened, they only knew that the Duke might have encountered an assassin.
Alger Wilson gritted his teeth, ran out of Duke Negan's mansion, and headed towards the Hillston area around the municipal park opposite.
Even if there is only a little hope, he is not willing to miss it!
Suddenly, he heard a voice "carried" by the wind:
"There's no need to chase."
No need to chase? Cardinal Snake's voice... Alger ran a few more steps before stopping, and turned around suspiciously to look into the air.
He saw above the woods and the artificial lake, Archbishop Snake, wearing a black robe embroidered with storm symbols, was suspended there, staring diagonally downward.
Alger frowned, and without thinking about the reason, Gao ran to where the cardinal was.
As the distance got closer, he saw more clearly with the help of the extraordinary ability of "Navigator".
That "Singer of God" Fang Zheng didn't show any expression on his face,
But his posture showed his solemnity, the grizzled hair protruding from under the black soft hat fluttered in the wind, setting off his unusually serious silver eyes.
Alger withdrew his gaze and ran out of the woods.
In his eyes, the cold lake surface shone with crimson moonlight, and a tall figure approaching the water bank appeared.
This figure has a unique wide chin, the ancient warrior's bun is tied into the back of the head, and the dark green eyes are cold and hollow.
Chillingus!
"Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus!
Alger was startled for a moment, then he was surprised and delighted, he couldn't believe his eyes, and suspected that the darkness made him hallucinate.
Before he had time to react, he suddenly saw Qilingus' face rotting quickly, until yellow-green pus flowed out, and the flesh and blood fell off one by one.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Qilingos's face was nothing but bones, and his two empty eyeballs came out of the hollows, and hit the ground by the lake in no particular order.
With the sound of clicking, Qilingus completely fell apart, and the clothes were spread on it, covering the rotten pieces of meat and white bones, and blocking the flickering brilliance.
In less than twenty seconds, Qilingus, one of the seven pirate generals, died strangely in front of Alger.
This horrific scene was deeply imprinted in Alger's mind, making him suspect that he was having a horrible nightmare.
What happened?
Didn't Qilingus escape successfully?
How could it be so strange to die here so simply?
What happened to him, that he lost his life in such a short period of time...
He is the "Wind Blessed One" of Sequence 6, and he is the master of "Squirming Hunger"!
Who did it?
Why kill Qilingus...
Just when Alger was flashing countless thoughts uncontrollably, he heard the magnetic voice of "Singer of God" Ace Snake:
"Have you shared the information with anyone else?"
"Does anyone else know this information?"
Alger regained his composure at once, glanced at Qilingus' corpse, and explained in a prepared manner:
"As soon as I received the information, I reported it to the Archbishop."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help complaining in his heart: If Ace Snake hadn't gone for a walk by the Tussock River and spent a lot of time looking for him, Qilingus might not have escaped at all. Get out of Duke Negan's mansion!
Of course, he didn't dare to say such resentment in front of a high-sequence expert, so he could only continue to describe it respectfully and humbly:
"The people who got the information directly even died because of it, and those who passed it didn't open the letter. I can confirm this."
"But I can't be sure whether the source of the information is still leaked. Since we can know, others may too."
As Alger spoke, he also guessed in his heart who killed "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingos:
The person or organization that commissioned Qilingos to assassinate Duke Negan? But since Qilingus has successfully escaped, and there is no possibility of revealing anything, there is no reason to kill him... If it were me, I would let Qilingus lurk, when everyone thought he had escaped from Baker. In the case of Rand, another assassination...
Moreover, Qilingus has always only believed in himself, and he would not tell anyone about the assassination plan in advance. Duke Negan recently held parties for several proposals in September. It is also impossible to determine when and where he will do it... unless, unless it is a "prophet"... it may be very low...
Other forces? Impossible, Miss Justice found the problem on the spot, and passed on the information by praying to Mr. Fool. Apart from us, there is no organization that can get the information at the same time...
Mister Fool... Alger was taken aback and thought of a possibility:
It was Mister Fool's favored one who made the move!
He happened to be in Backlund, so he "just happened" to help!
The more Alger thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was closer to reality:
Only the members and subordinates of the "Tarot Club" can know the information at the first time!
Only the "Fool"'s dependents can make people feel that things are weird and lack of purpose!
While he was thinking about it, Archbishop Snake was silent for a moment, and said to the other "punishers" who came one after another:
"Qilingus is dead, a high-sequence powerhouse killed him, or used a sealed item of the same level, but this is quite dangerous, and the possibility is not high."
"After preliminary observation, I think it is a high-sequence powerhouse of the 'Reaper' pathway, maybe a member of the Spiritual Cult, but not the one I know, or maybe a member of other secret organizations."
"The motive is unknown."
The Lingjiao Group originated from the southern continent. It is said that it was a secret organization established by some descendants of the god of death trying to resurrect the god of death. After the southern continent was invaded and colonized, they were almost destroyed, but they survived tenaciously in the end and expanded to the northern continent. countries.
A high-sequence powerhouse... Yes, only a high-sequence powerhouse can kill Qilingus in such a short period of time! One of Mister Fool's subordinates is in a high sequence... This is a "half god"! Alger looked at the beach of rotten flesh and bones again, his whole state was very detached, as if he had lost all emotions, and was staring blankly at everything.
If one day, I betray Mister Fool... He suddenly had such an idea.
Immediately, the horrifying appearance of Qilingus's rapid decay just now appeared in his mind.
Alger shuddered involuntarily, and lowered his head.
At the same time, he also relaxed.
Since it is impossible to escape and it is difficult to resist, the only choice is loyalty.
Phew... Once Chillingus is dead, no one will threaten me with that secret again! He exhaled, completely settled down.
…………
In Duke Negan's mansion, Audrey Hall, who was discussing the assassination just now with her mother and noble ladies, saw her father with two beautiful mustaches appear at the door.
She found a reason to leave the lounge and went to the balcony outside the hall.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Audrey looked at Earl Hall with emerald eyes.
Her pupil color is inherited from her mother, not her father.
Earl Hall chuckled and said:
"It's settled, my boy, you don't need to worry any more."
"Well... did you tell anyone else that Lord Gramere was a fake?"
"No." Audrey shook her head firmly.
I just told an existence that resembles a god... she added silently in her heart.
She thought about it, and then described two more specific sentences:
"After I told you, I went to the bathroom first, and then I went to my mother. You can ask her."
"Yeah." Earl Hall nodded slightly, didn't say any more, and instead said, "Qilingus is dead, he was killed."
"Who?" Audrey was surprised and excited.
"I don't know, we can't even guess why the murderer wanted to kill Qilingus, it's really incomprehensible." Earl Hall paused, "Maybe it's a person, maybe it's an organization, secretive, powerful organization."
Unable to guess the purpose...a secret, powerful organization...could it be Mr. Fool's favored one? Could it be our "Tarot Club"! Audrey suddenly realized something.
