Chapter 70 Resurrection
"Based on your description, the sealed artifact seems to be able to distort space within a certain range?" Daly asked.
"Yes," Hobart helped analyze, "Theoretically speaking, the ability to distort is very similar to the extraordinary abilities of the 'Lawyer' pathway, but the distortion of the 'Lawyer' pathway mostly involves distorting thoughts and rules. However, sealed artifacts cannot be judged by common sense."
He didn't continue, pretending that his knowledge was limited.
Daly nodded slightly and added, "The extraordinary abilities of the 'Apprentice' pathway are closely related to space, but their abilities are mostly about traversing space, rather than distorting it."
She said, "I'll ask the little ones around here."
The scarred man stepped forward, blocking Daly and Hobert.
Suddenly, Daly raised her head, and her eyes turned completely black. She was now a "necromancer" and could easily communicate with nature spirits.
For a moment, Hobart felt as if countless eyes were staring at him, and the bodies of Henry and his wife lay not far away, making the atmosphere in the room eerie.
After about ten seconds, Daly, who had been motionless, seemed to suddenly wake up from her sleep, shivered, and gradually made her pupils and the whites of her eyes clear.
"The little ones around here say that the couple often go into the basement carrying burning sunflowers," Daly said. "But they don't really know what's going on in the basement..."
Just then, the three of them suddenly saw the direction of the altar and felt a surging, terrifying power quietly descend upon them.
Hobert and Scarface immediately drew their revolvers. Scarface's revolver was much larger than a normal revolver, much like the extra-large and elongated revolver Hobert had seen at the mercenary club.
The three men moved forward almost simultaneously, preparing to destroy the altar, but the bodies of Henry and his wife suddenly sat up. Because they rose so quickly, one of the corpses' eyeballs popped out.
As they were about to get up, their legs seemed to be out of their control. Their upper bodies wanted to stand up, but no matter what posture they used, they couldn't stand up.
Hobart sensed something and went to check on Ms. Daly, only to find her staring intently at the two corpses, wrestling with the terrifying force for control of them.
The scarred man first shot the symbols on the altar, then kicked the altar away. When he looked at the two corpses, they were completely unaffected and were still struggling to get up.
Hobart activated his spiritual vision and discovered some black tubular objects hanging from the ceiling, connecting two corpses—their weak points!
But the location where the black tubular object hangs down... that's probably where little Henry's body was!
"Go to the second floor!" Hobart shouted. Just as he was about to go up the stairs, the two corpses broke free from Daly's restraints, picked up a chair next to them, and threw it at Hobart and the scarred man.
All three nimbly dodged, but immediately afterward, Hobart felt his strength and reaction speed noticeably decrease.
Oops!
It's "weakening"!
The chair that just flew over allowed the corpse to complete the "bribery" process.
So, the Henrys were no ordinary people, but the rituals they performed made their bodies appear strange, and they never showed any extraordinary characteristics.
In that instant, Hobart realized that it was very likely that when Daly used her "Death" pathway ability, she awakened the terrifying being that had descended through the Henry couple's ritual.
"La la, la la la la, la la la la la la~"
At the same time, a clear, innocent child's voice came from upstairs; he seemed to be humming a nursery rhyme.
Upon hearing the nursery rhyme, both Hobert and Scarface felt their bodies stiffen to varying degrees.
Hobart felt a chill run down his spine. In a state of both "weakness" and "rigidity," they were no match for the two corpses.
Fortunately, the two corpses that rushed close suddenly started dancing to the tune of the child's voice.
Looking at Daly again, her eyes seemed to have become even more unfathomable, and she exuded a terrifying aura.
Although the song had a negative effect on Hobart and the scarred man to varying degrees, it seemed to enhance Daly's abilities and allow her to regain some control over the two corpses.
Taking this opportunity, Hobart walked towards the stairs with somewhat stiff steps.
The breakthrough should be found in Henry's body.
Thump~ thump~ thump~
The sound of someone going down the stairs.
Henry's body was being carried downstairs. His face was pale and bluish, and his eyes were deep and dark. The bullet hole that Hobert had shot in his head had disappeared. He looked like a little boy with an abnormal complexion and an abnormal look in his eyes.
Daly didn't dare look at little Henry: "I'm no match for it."
Only then did they realize that the Night Watchers had seriously underestimated this mysterious event, thinking it was just a bizarre death, never expecting such a terrifying power to descend, leaving even Sequence 6 Daly somewhat helpless.
Hobart changed direction: "Lead them to the basement."
Both Daly and Scarface's eyes lit up, and they quickly followed Hobart's lead.
Inside the basement, at the entrance, there were many sunflowers piled up. They each picked up one, and Daisy rubbed her spiritual energy to light it.
The scarred man fired a shot in the direction of young Henry to draw his attention.
The power that descended upon young Henry seemed terrifying, but it didn't appear to have much intelligence. Attracted by the gunshots, it chased after him step by step.
Daly opened the basement door, while Hobart used his cane to sweep the sunflowers from the doorway into the basement.
Daisy held the sunflower in front to clear the way, while the scarred man kept a close eye on what was behind him.
At this point, Daly no longer had the energy to control the bodies of Henry and his wife. Their dance came to an abrupt halt, and they scrambled toward the basement door.
They quickly overtook Little Henry, but Scarface and Hobart fired repeatedly to slow their advance.
After walking a few steps down the stairs, Hobart felt the stiffness in his body gradually disappear.
This is not a good thing, as it means they have entered the area of the basement seal.
