Chapter 40
People in black robes with strange patterns on the back of their hands surrounded her.
Catherine was overwhelmed by those malicious figures.
"Who are you! Don't you dare think of kidnapping a noble! Otherwise I will let you taste dismemberment by five horses!" Catherine shouted indignantly, but the black-robed men remained unmoved and looked at her gloomily and maliciously. (S & Blu: old Chinese punishment involving each of a criminals limbs and head getting tied to 5 horses and gets pulled in different directions)
The tall, silent figure at her side roared.
No one is allowed to hurt Catherine!
The monster covered under the cloak revealed its fangs, his gleaming eyes appearing from under the wide hood.
He wanted to protect the kind Catherine, the only person in the world who accepted him!
The monster's strength was very strong and several of the black-robed men were soon torn to pieces. Fortunately, they had taken precautions and took out a statue carved with the image of the evil god. They kept circling around the enraged beast.
The monster's consciousness began to become hazy, but the black-robed men kept muttering the spell until the monster roared in pain and passed out.
Tying the monster up together, they turned to look at Catherine, who had already run far away, and murmured in a low, sinister voice.
"Catch her for the glory of our Lord!"]
FromCthulhus Wrath
Zhou Yu searched for those outsiders trail and soon ended up at a small inn.
In order not to frighten the snake, Zhou Yu booked a room at the inn and pretended to inquire about its recent business situation. (S: not to beat the grass and alarm the snake, idiom, to not let others know youre there) (Blu: To be precise, its to not act rashly and alert the enemy)
The inns owner was a very talkative middle-aged woman who still looked attractive despite her age.
She stared at Zhou Yus handsome face after he took off her hood and couldn't help jumping to fawn over him. She threw a wink at Zhou Yu, squeezed the plump assets in her corset and cleared her throat lightly, "Oh my, I didnt know you were a foreigner! Youre right to come here! We are very cheap, even if you dont mention the price, the service is also good ~ " The boss seductively implied as she spoke to Zhou Yu. He worked hard to keep a smile on his face.
"As a matter of fact, business has been very good recently. Many customers have booked a room for a month. How about it young man, why dont you stay for a little while longer?" The boss lowered her voice and stroked Zhou Yus fair, slender palm lying on the counter with her finger.
"Really? Then I'll book a room just for tonight. Ill stay if its nice, so please take me to the room, ma'am." Zhou Yu retreated from the boss stretched out hand, smiling mildly.
The proprietress hated this handsome man for being unromantic, but still couldn't help staring at him. After all, such a beautiful man truly was rare.
Soon arriving at the room he booked, Zhou Yu refused the boss personal service and entered the small and dirty room.
Would those - who the lady boss mentioned had booked a room for a month - be those Outsiders?
Slightly suspicious, Zhou Yu opened the window facing the street a crack, watching the people entering the inn.
According to the information provided by Plot Perception, Franken and the noble girl must be the key characters of this story.
But who is the protagonist and who is the villain?
Zhou Yu remembered Feng Xings identity in the previous world. He was the protagonist in the movie and also the ultimate villain.
Then, in this life, Feng Xing was also likely to be one of the two.
In fact, according to Feng Xing's personality, Zhou Yu was inclined to think he was the villain, but it wasnt completely guaranteed. What if Feng Xing was the protagonist?
Zhou Yu repeatedly pondered over Feng Xings possible identity, but in fact, so far, he still didn't know who the protagonist and the villain were, he was completely at a loss.
The more Zhou Yu thought about, the more his head hurt, so he simply stood by the window to observe the situation and stopped thinking about these things.
What he needed now was a more detailed plot!
There was a loud noise coming from the lobby.
"You little brat! I can't do anything with you! I really wonder how you even survived the last world!" A rough voice sounded, full of anger.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Senior, I was wrong! Don't drive me away!" The target of the reprimand was a blindly subservient man who was terribly scared.
Zhou Yu looked at the farce below with a chilly gaze.
I found you!
Downstairs
Song Hang lowered his head to his knees, shaking with fear.
He was terrified, afraid of being kicked out by the senior reincarnators.
In the last world, only he and another middle-aged uncle, Sun Tao, survived. It was only the first time he participated in a mission and he had realized the horrors of the reincarnators world.
After moving back to the system-space, they became even more miserable.
Because they didnt participate in the plot, their reward points were too few, so there was simply no way to redeem any powerful props, and of course, they were rejected by many reincarnation teams.
They could only apply for random allocation.
Random allocation was an option for the rookies who couldnt team up. Those who chose the random allocation method couldnt casually pick and enter a world like the squads with captains. They can only let the Lord God randomly allocate them and most of these randomly-matched worlds were high-risk worlds, just like this times.Cthulhu's Wrath was a level higher than the previous horror movie world. How could he not be afraid?
He was originally an ordinary college student, who usually immersed himself in studying, but after waking up, he reincarnated as a cannon fodder in a new world.
At first, he thought he could go home as long as he survived, but he didnt expect that as people living in a colony world, they had no human rights at all.
All the inhabitants of the Lord God's world had the privilege of returning home, but they didnt have this.
At that point, he understood that he could never go back.
Hed thought about suicide. After all, the horror of the reincarnators' world made him extremely fearful, but he already died unwillingly once. He wanted to live, even if he had to struggle at deaths door in this reincarnation space!
"Senior, give me another chance! I will definitely find Franken!" Song Hang was kicked to the ground by the man, but still eagerly revealed an ingratiating smile.
"Shut up! You waste! Don't talk nonsense here! This world is very high-level. Some of the people here are capable of understanding what youre saying!" The brawny man with short black hair stepped on Song Hang's face with a ruthless look.
"Pei! What a waste! Get yourself up, go back to the room and wait for us to finish discussing!" The brawny man looked at the Song Hang whose nose had been broken with disdain. (Blu: Pei - spit)
"Oh yes... yes!" Song Hang stuttered in pain, using his shaking hands to wipe the blood from his nose, his entire face was stained with his own blood, looking stupid and pathetic.
He was barely able to stand and keep up with the senior reincarnators.
He lowered his head, afraid to look at the mocking eyes of the others in the inn, just watching the blood from his nose drip onto the floor, sluggishly striding forward.
"Ah, sorry, did I hurt you?" A young man in a cape accidentally hit Song Hang's shoulder when he went down the stairs and quickly apologized.
Song Hang raised his eyes slightly and saw the tender, emerald-green eyes under the hood.
"No, it's okay, you... I'll leave first..." Song Hang blanked for a moment, feeling as if he saw someone familiar, but he couldn't remember.
He inwardly marveled at the beauty of the youth.
Even in his original world, when the entertainment industry was extremely developed, hed never seen anyone as beautiful as this young man.
Not daring to stare any longer, Song Hangs cowardice restrained the astonishment in his eyes and he staggered up the stairs.
Ahead, the senior reincarnator had entered the room on the far right of the staircase, so he hastily sped up, afraid of getting beaten again.
But just before entering the room, he couldn't help but glance back, watching the young man walking away, fascinated.
Wouldnt it be great if he had power? If he did, then no one would dare humiliate him, everything he wanted would be in the palm of his hands, including that young man.
Zhou Yu had actually obtained some plot information when he saw those Outsiders. In order to better understand his ability, he tested it on the Outsider he bumped into and found that close contact didnt result in any more visions.
Zhou Yu now understood the rules of this ability.
The so-called contact wasnt necessarily direct contact, he could also simply see and encounter them.
After getting the information he wanted, Zhou Yu went downstairs and paid the owner a months rent for the room. Then he ignored the boss's attempts to make him stay and left the inn.
He was going to verify the plot at home.
There was a lot of useful information in the vision he just saw.
Some people wore black robes. He couldnt see their appearance clearly and could only see strange patterns on the backs of their hands, holding torches and kneeling on the ground as if praying to something.
The unfamiliar island from before also featured close-ups. On the dark island, the vegetation was lush and various beasts roamed about. A huge altar stood at the highest point on the island and in the center of the altar was a statue of a god. Because the perspective of the vision was too far away, Zhou Yu couldnt see that gods face.
In the dark night, a disheveled blonde lady was frightened, running with a torch in a cave full of rocks, ankle injured by something that suddenly poked out.
Franken laid unconsciously upon the altar as something appeared on the distant sea, the waves rough and dark.
The last vision showed a boat floating on the storm-torn sea that was about to capsize it. Under the boat, deep in the sea, a huge tentacle was stirring the stormy waves. Such a scene was enough for those with a phobia of the deep ocean to get goosebumps.
Zhou Yu thought about the meaning of those pictures, both expectant and fearful.
He could guess that Franken should be the protagonist because he appeared many times in the visions. If this was a movie, then he was bound to be the protagonist.
That blonde-haired lady should be his girlfriend.
Such a set-up was common. Love between a monster and a beautiful girl, they fight off evil together and then live happily ever after later.
How beautiful, Zhou Yu thought bitterly, then where was his lover, Feng Xing? Would Franken be Feng Xing? If so, what would his girlfriend do?
Was he being superfluous?
Zhou Yu couldn't help thinking about it negatively, then persuaded himself. It wasnt necessarily only Franken who could be Feng Xing, maybe he was a villain?
Zhou Yu knew very well that only Franken appeared in the visions that frequently, so only Franken had the greatest possibility of being his love.
Everything would be fine. He will find Feng Xing and they will be together again!
He comforted himself with hasty words that he didnt even have confidence in, and arrived at the house in the slums that the original rented.
He hesitated for a moment, but eventually walked inside.
Franken wasnt in the living room. He should be honestly staying in the guest room, as Zhou Yu had ordered earlier.
Since the last time he drove him away, Franken had become more cautious, obeying his demands without question.
When Zhou Yu thought of this, his heart felt sore. If he really was Feng Xing, did he already hurt his heart?
Knocking on the door of the guest room, Zhou Yu softly said, "Franken? Are you there?"
The doorknob turned slightly and Franken opened the door.
He was very clever. Even though he had a large palm and it was difficult to grasp the knob, he had learned to open and close the door very skillfully.
Because he wanted his Creator to like him.
"Brother ..." Franken stepped aside, giving space for Zhou Yu to enter.
Standing at the door, looking at the crude environment and dim light in the guest room, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that he had been too crazy recently.
Perhaps because of the immoderate and stubborn character left by Cariell, he was so obsessed with finding Feng Xing that he became apathetic to the rest of the world.
In fact, even if Franken wasn't Feng Xing, he still shouldn't have deliberately treated him coldly.
He was also an innocent victim. He was brought into this world by the crazy scientist Cariell, but he was subjected to all kinds of abuse by his creator.
If it was him, he would certainly feel despair and hatred, so it wasnt surprising if Franken hated him now.
"Sorry, Franken." Zhou Yu stroked Franken's face and looked at the twisted stitch marks on it, his expression complicated.
Franken blinked in surprise, showing a little shyness.
Was he dreaming? His Creator was touching him willingly!
This was a scene that he dared not even think of in his most indulgent dreams.
So comfortable, the creator's hands were so very warm.
Franken looked at his Creator's face and a gleam of dull sapphire flashed in his eyes.
It would be great if this could go on forever, his favorite Creator always loving him.
