Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 165 Castle Tower

Yae Shinko's smile remained unchanged, and her expression looked very gentle.

Cheng Yan pulled Aqi back, and just as they were about to go far away, the Eightfold Son of God suddenly spoke.

"Little guy, if not for you, then for the one next to you, please come with me."

"My name is Cheng Yan, and his name is Aqi, Sister Shen Zi, do you know him?"

Cheng Yan grabbed Aqi's wrist and noticed that he was looking at the Son of God with a confused expression, and knew that he did not know the person in front of him.

But the Son of God's words seemed to have known Aqi from the beginning.

Shen Zi tilted his head slightly, "To be honest, I don't know him, but the feeling he gives me is so familiar that it can't be more familiar."

Cheng Yan turned his head to look at Aqi's reaction and found that his eyes were empty, as if he didn't hear the words of the Son of God.

"Archie, would you like to go?"

Archie tried hard to recall whether he had seen the person in front of him, but his memory was fragmented and he could not find any information about the woman in front of him.

"Let's do it together." Aqi held Cheng Yan's hand in return. He felt empty and uneasy in his heart. Only by holding on to the people around him could he feel at ease.

Worry flashed across Cheng Yan's eyes, and he looked up to meet the Eightfold Son of God.

"Sister Shen Zi, my friend is timid, please don't scare him."

Shen Zi nodded slightly, his expression becoming even gentler.

"Come with me."

A dozen witches lined up neatly and surrounded Cheng Yan and his companions.

Cheng Yan looked around and saw that the witches around him all lowered their heads, with their hands clasped in front of them, hidden by their wide cuffs. Their movements were in unison and their expressions were calm without any change.

He unconsciously moved closer to Archie. This strange feeling made him feel like he had accidentally entered into some horror game.

As he walked further forward, Cheng Yan looked at the grand building in front of him and felt a little confused.

The shrine...is the atmosphere so heavy and depressing?

The building is completely black with purple, and you can't see the end of the building at a glance.

"Sister Shenzi, is this a shrine?"

Yaejinko looked back at him, "Before you go to the shrine, there's an important person you need to meet."

Cheng Yan looked embarrassed, but when he thought that he was with Inazuma, he held back what he was about to say.

When you are under the eaves, you have to lower your head for a while. When you see that the situation is not good, he immediately takes Aqi and runs away.

I continued walking forward, and just as I finished walking up the stairs, the priestesses who had just surrounded me stopped walking.

Yae Shenzi turned around and looked at Cheng Yan who had also stopped, "Let's go, it's not far away."

Aqi couldn't help but hold Cheng Yan's hand tightly, his blue-purple eyes flashed, and cold sweat oozed from his palms.

This place made him feel very uneasy.

Noticing that Aqi was abnormal, Cheng Yan stopped more resolutely.

"Son of God, we still don't want to go over there."

Yae Shinto's expression did not change, and before he opened his mouth, Archie suddenly shook Cheng Yan's wrist.

"It's okay, let's go in."

He vaguely realized where his uneasiness came from.

This is not a shrine, but a castle tower.

Cheng Yan frowned, "You don't look well."

Archie shook his head and gave him a forced smile.

"I should have been here before."

The worry in Cheng Yan's eyes had not yet dissipated. He held Aqi's shoulder and wanted to comfort him, but suddenly he heard a series of tiny "click" sounds in his ears.

Looking up, Cheng Yan saw that the Eightfold Son of God who was in front of him just now had disappeared, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

There was an electric smell in the air, and Cheng Yan suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Get out of here quickly!

Feeling anxious and about to overflow, Cheng Yan pulled Aqi and ran out.

"boom--"

The heavy and solid door slammed shut suddenly, and the muffled sound made Cheng Yan's heart tremble.

"You left your guard post without permission and spoke nonsense. You are an unqualified vessel."

Like the sound of a bell ringing in my ears, a deep voice went straight into my brain.

Archie's face turned pale in an instant and he could hardly stand.

[Drop—The target person’s heartbreak level +20, current heartbreak level 45]

Cheng Yan held him, his ears buzzing with the loud noise that went straight into his heart.

Although his head was splitting, Cheng Yan still heard the sharp sound of metal friction. The sound of the knife was as sharp as thunder, whistling towards the two people standing there.

Gathering strength with his feet, Cheng Yan tightly grasped Aqi's shoulders and had already figured out how to escape this unstoppable attack.

He had trained a lot in high-pressure environments, but such a powerful blow still made him sweat.

The blade light condensed from lightning has appeared. Cheng Yan took a deep breath and was about to jump up from the spot with Aqi.

But his body was not restrained and he moved easily, but Archie's feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, standing there without moving at all.

Cheng Yan's heart skipped a beat as he saw Aqi was about to be cut down by the knife.

He rushed forward regardless of anything, opened his arms and hugged him tightly, facing the sword light that could cut everything behind him.

"Ding--"

The knife flashed and hit Cheng Yan, who should have been torn into pieces or even cut in two, but was unharmed. Cheng Yan was breathing heavily, and the divine eye on his waist, which had never appeared, was shining brightly.

Cheng Yan didn't feel comforted at all by escaping death. He hurriedly turned Aqi's face and asked worriedly and anxiously.

"Are you OK?"

Archie's eyes were wide open, and there was no focus in his blue-purple eyes, like a lifeless doll.

After a moment, two lines of tears flowed from his eyes and dripped down his chin onto the back of Cheng Yan's hand.

The door to the castle tower opened, and a woman dressed in purple and holding a long sword stepped out.

There was a coldness in his eyes, and he looked at the two people as if they were an eyesore.

"Leaving the defense area without permission and talking nonsense about human nature..."

Exactly the same words, Cheng Yan clenched his fingers, and the peak appeared.

Holding the sword tightly, Cheng Yan protected Aqi behind him and faced the oppressive person in front of him with gritted teeth.

"Who are you and why are you trying to kill us?"

The woman still had no expression on her face. She just kept staring at the dazed Aqi, with murderous intent in her eyes.

"You have the power of the Rock God, and this matter has nothing to do with you, so I won't kill you."

The purple long knife was deflected and pointed directly at Archie.

"He is an unqualified failure. Failures should be destroyed."

Cheng Yan sneered as he listened to her lightly describing the people around him as nothing.

"You are a fart. You easily define others. You are not a good person either."
