Start with the Wizarding World

Chapter 178: Falling on the Street Author: Hasta
"Lord God Envoy..."

After sitting down, McCoy carefully looked at Segura on Rorschach's shoulder.

"You got the wrong frog, croak." Segura said directly.

"..."

Faced with Segura's blatant lie, McCoy and Lilith were helpless at this moment, because they were very sure that the black little toad in front of them was the messenger of God they had just summoned a few days ago, but they did not expect that he would be caught by Isabel's brother later.

They came here this time just to see if they could bring this great messenger of God back, but now it seems that there is basically no hope.

Although they didn't understand why the Lord Messenger of God, who was summoned according to the oracle, would turn against them so directly, but after all, he was the Lord Messenger of God, so they had to endure it even if they were not used to it.

After briefly understanding how the three little brats got on the bus, Ou Hunt couldn't help but laugh:
"Hahaha, I've taken so many buses, but this is the first time I've met someone as stupid as you. You actually got yourself involved because of stalking."

When the three heard this, their faces turned red.

At this moment, Ouhunte suddenly said seriously, "You are lucky this time to meet Charlotte and I on the train. You should know that it is basically impossible to see people below Sequence 5 on this train. The two unlucky guys just now were both soldier-level aliens equivalent to Sequence 5, and you saw the result."

When the three heard this, they actually realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although they had some guesses before, it was not so intuitive after all, until Director Ou Hunt clearly pointed out the situation here.

As the chief of the police department of Lancelot City, Ou Hunt naturally couldn't lie to these young people about such things, and it was meaningless.

This means that the three of them are indeed the weakest passengers on this train, and they are pitifully weak.

If it weren't for Rorschach and O'Hent, the three of them would have turned into "tickets" by now, just like the two unlucky guys just now.

While Ou Hunt was chatting with the three people, the number on the electronic screen on the car went from 40 to 39, and the ticket progress also moved forward.

However, the reduction in personnel this time was obviously not related to the first carriage, but was probably caused by the conflict in the two carriages behind.

"Meeting is fate. Everyone, how are we going to meet?" The human woman who had previously told Isabel the train rules was now walking towards them and stopped in front of Rorschach and the others. She smiled and said, "I'm Hill from the City of Black Goats. I'm glad to meet you here—"

"The City of the Black Goat?"

Rorschach and Ohunt were unmoved, but Lilith's brother McCoy's expression suddenly changed after hearing the name, "If I remember correctly, the Black Goat City is the original Guangkanda City, which should have been completely occupied by now... You, you are not human?!"

"No, she is indeed human." Rorschach took the initiative to clarify for her.

"How is this possible?" Isabel and the others said in unison.

"What's impossible? Who told you that there are no humans who would turn to alien species?" Ouhunt said calmly.

"Humans... seek refuge with alien species?"

When McCoy and the others heard this, their worldviews were shaken.

For those who grew up in the city of Lancelot, the information they were exposed to since childhood was that humans and alien species are irreconcilable.

Once the alien species decide to invade a human city, they will not stop until they have completely eroded it, and human cities will usually eliminate the alien species within the city.

In this situation, how can humans seek refuge with alien species?

However, the person who said this was Ouhunt, a Sequence 4 Demigod, which made them believe it.

"Isn't this your first time leaving your city?" The human woman named Hill also guessed something at this time.

Seeing that the three did not deny it, she smiled and said, "No wonder, there are still many things in this world that you need to get familiar with."

"Thank you, Sister Hill." Isabel immediately expressed her gratitude for the other party's previous advice.

"You're welcome. When we're away from home, we should unite, right?" Hill said with a smile.

"So Ms. Hill, when you say solidarity, do you mean leaving a backup plan for others?" Rorschach suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Ou Hunte, who was standing by, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Because he was actually paying attention to Hill, but didn't find anything unusual. He didn't expect Rorschach to suddenly say this.

This clearly meant that Rorschach had discovered something wrong.

"My friend, what do you mean by that?" Hearing this, Hill showed a hint of anger. "I just came to get to know you because we are all human beings. Is this how you see me?"

"Then tell me, what is this?"

Rorschach raised his hand in Isabel's direction, and Isabel immediately felt an itchy sensation in her throat, followed by a strong urge to vomit and cough, which became increasingly difficult to control.

“Cough cough… cough cough cough!”

Isabel suddenly started coughing violently, and soon she coughed up a black ball of hair, which she caught in her hand.

The black ball of hair did not look like a dead object. It was actually still trembling slightly, giving people a very weird feeling!

Seeing this scene, everyone realized that this was most likely Hill's work!

Hill had realized at this time that it would be meaningless to explain further, so he stopped explaining... Suddenly!
She retreated backwards, grabbed McCoy who was closest to her, and pressed a finger against McCoy's temple, threateningly saying, "I know you are very strong. I am not sure I can defeat you even if I fight alone. But it only takes me a moment to kill him. No matter how strong you are, you can't stop me, so you'd better not mess around!"

"Brother!" Lilith was already anxious at this time.

"Are you threatening me?"

Ouhunt, who originally had a smile on his face, now had a gloomy expression and walked straight towards Hill.

"Don't come over here. If you come over again, I'll kill him first!" Hill threatened again when he saw that Ouhunt was still walking towards him.

"Let's do it." said Ouhunt.

"Do you think I don't dare?" Hill's finger on McCoy's head had already pierced his scalp, waiting for O'Hent to stop.

"Go ahead. If you don't, I will look down on you." Ouhunt continued to move forward.

"you……"

"You talk too much nonsense, die!"

O'Hent threw a direct punch, and Hill's face immediately turned cold after seeing this scene, and he used McCoy as a meat shield to block in front of him!

Just as O'Hent was about to hit McCoy with his punch, McCoy disappeared in front of O'Hent, and with him also disappeared the arm of the human woman named Hill who was holding McCoy.

puff!

With one punch, Ouhunt knocked Hill into a bloody mess!
It should have been a very bloody scene, but because the blood foam was immediately absorbed by the train itself after splattering around the carriage, it disappeared, so it looked as if nothing had happened.

As for the arm that McCoy and Hill had disappeared, it was now caught in Rorschach's hand.

Needless to say, it was Rorschach who tore off one of Hill's arms directly from mid-air and saved McCoy who was almost killed.

Rorschach shook his hand and McCoy was free again, while Hill's arm was thrown aside and directly absorbed by the train.

At the same time, the number on the train's electronic screen has dropped from 39 to 38, which means that only the last "ticket" is left.

Ouhunt had regained his previous amiable demeanor by this time and walked back with a smile.

He was originally planning to sit down, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, walked to the passage connecting to the second carriage, and shouted inside:
"Three tickets have been issued for the first session. There is one left. You can decide for yourself. Otherwise, just wait for that person to choose."

After shouting, he sat back in his seat and greeted McCoy with concern: "Are you okay, young man?"

"No, it's okay."

McCoy didn't dare to look at Ouhunt directly at this moment, because he had seen Ouhunt's coldest side with his own eyes before!
At that time, Ouhunt's punch was no more than ten centimeters away from him, or even shorter!

He could already feel the force of Ouhunt's punches!

If it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, Isabel's brother rescued him from Nahil in an instant in a way that he could not understand at all.

He had no doubt that the punch would kill Hill just as well, but the problem was that he would die just as well.

This instantly shattered his impression of Ou Hunt, who had originally thought of him as the uncle next door, and he even felt a little bit of fear deep in his heart!
No one can remain calm when facing a person who can talk and laugh with you one moment, and punch you to death without hesitation the next moment, and he is no exception.

In fact, it wasn't just McCoy. Isabel and Lilith also became unusually silent at this time.

Ou Hunt could naturally see the change in the attitudes of the three young men, but he didn't care. He just smiled and said, "I know you think I'm cold-blooded, but as the protector of a city, I can't negotiate with the enemy."

"Don't say that she caught you. Even if she caught my child or my parents, I wouldn't hesitate at all!"

Ou Hunt did not say anything passionately, but his tone gave people a sense of unquestionability.

He did not hide the fact that he had indeed intended to kill McCoy as well, and he did not make any excuses for his actions.

But after hearing what he said, even McCoy, the person involved, felt relieved. Even though the impression could not be restored, he no longer had any grudges.

They were not related to him in the first place, so they had no right to ask Ou Hunt for anything.

On the contrary, it was Isabel's brother, who they originally thought was very cruel, but he rescued McCoy at the last moment.

"Thank you!"

McCoy bowed deeply to Rorschach and used the honorific title directly.

Although he no longer blamed Ouhunt, he was certainly still extremely grateful to Rorschach for saving his life.

Lilith on the side also bowed deeply to Rorschach.

"Don't be so sentimental. I just didn't want my stupid sister to be angry with me all the way, so I helped her out." Rorschach said calmly.

"Brother!"

Isabelle was inevitably a little embarrassed when Rorschach called her stupid in front of so many people, but at this moment she was more happy in her heart.

Because her brother really loves her the most!
Although he is a little sharp-tongued, he still gives you all the care you should. Where can you find such a good brother?

During their conversation, the train's electronic screen changed again, and the number of passengers quickly dropped from 38 to 37.

At this point, the total number of passengers has been reduced from 42 when the train departed to 37, exactly five, which has met the "ticket" demand.

In other words, from now on, no one has to worry about the risk of being randomly eliminated after arriving at the station, and the atmosphere instantly became much calmer.

When the screen changed at the last moment, no passengers died in the first carriage, which meant that the last "ticket" came from the two carriages behind. It seemed that O'Hent's shouting at the last minute worked.

If the first carriage did not contribute three "tickets", then even if Ouhunt ordered the people behind to kill a few quickly, it might not be of any use.

But what he said was the truth. Even if the passengers in the rear carriage were unreasonable at other times, they had no choice when faced with an even more unreasonable train.

At this time, only an hour had passed since the train departed from Lancelot, and it would take about two hours to reach Orlando.

Under normal circumstances, if different species were allowed to stay together with some humans, they would surely start fighting for various reasons soon.

But this law does not apply to the train at this moment, because the trains today are much quieter and more peaceful than the outside world.

Even if someone is unhappy with other passengers, they will not choose to make trouble at this time. They can wait until the next leg of the journey to make trouble. If they can get rid of the other person at that time, they can contribute an extra "ticket".

Why not do it?
Unlike now, if someone is beaten to death, it would be in vain, and there is no one to take the blame.

……

The cab at the end of the train was an area that no passenger had ever stepped into, because any passenger who had tried to do so would have been wiped out long ago. As time went by, naturally, no one would continue to do that. However, at this moment, a figure wearing a yellow cloak appeared in the fully enclosed cab, holding a sheepskin notebook in his hand.

“It seems a bit too monotonous. The story is not good enough. It can’t even satisfy the three golden chapters. How can the readers have the patience to read it now?” The figure in yellow muttered to himself in distress while looking at the notebook in his hand.

"What on earth are you talking about?" Another voice suddenly sounded in the cab, the tone full of confusion and puzzlement.

"I'm just thinking about the plot, you don't understand." The figure in yellow waved his hand.

"Don't go too far, Hastur. This is my territory. You come here to show off your superiority to me?" The mysterious voice sounded a little angry, and it was obvious that it was angered by the figure in yellow.

"Your territory? Oh yeah, I almost forgot, this little toy seems to be created by you." The yellow-clothed figure closed the sheepskin notebook, and his tone became playful. "So what you mean is that I have to make this place my territory first, right? If you really have this need, I can satisfy you."

"..."

The mysterious voice fell silent instantly.

Because it was not until this moment that He suddenly remembered that although the person in front of him was an Old One like Him, there was a big gap in strength.

The other party's non-competitiveness had almost made him forget the gap between them, but if they really fell out, he would be the only one who would be in trouble.

Not only that, even His most satisfying toy in the past hundred years - the Heavenly Sacrifice Train - is likely to fall into the other party's hands!

This kind of outcome is definitely not what He wants to see.

"Sorry, that's not what I meant..." said the mysterious voice.

"That's good. I'm not interested in your junk." The yellow-clothed figure shook his head and said, "I'm just witnessing the beginning of a new chapter. If possible, please don't disturb my creation. Is there a problem?"

"No." The mysterious voice said immediately.

"That's great. Now could you please keep quiet? I don't like noise when I'm thinking about the plot." said the figure in yellow.

The mysterious voice didn't say anything this time and disappeared.

The figure in yellow did not continue to warn after seeing this. He just opened his sheepskin notebook again and began to think.

……

Not long after.

The train's horn sounded the arrival reminder, and they arrived at Orlando, the city closest to Lancelot.

A city that has been completely occupied by alien species.

What was different from the previous time was that this time after arriving at the station, two passengers in the first carriage should have already arrived at their destination and chose to get off directly. A passenger in the carriage behind also got off when he arrived at his destination.

"Do you want to go down and take a look?" Rorschach asked.

"I'm fine with it. Brother Charlotte, if you're interested, let's go out and take a look together." Ou Hunt said he didn't care.

"Let's go then."

Rorschach simply stood up and walked off the train.

Ou Hunt followed closely behind, and Isabel and the other three naturally did not dare to stay alone, so they all came up.

"Are you really going out, bro?"

Isabelle asked worriedly when she saw that Rorschach seemed to be planning to leave the station and go outside.

"Just taking a look outside the passage, it's okay." Rorschach signaled her not to worry.

"There is really no need to worry. This is the station of the 'True God'. Even the kings of alien species dare not come here to cause trouble." Ouhunt also immediately said that nothing would happen.

After hearing what Ou Hunt said, Isabel finally felt relieved.

However, as soon as Ouhunt finished speaking, he was slapped in the face at the speed of light.

"Boom!!!"

With a loud roar, a huge hole suddenly appeared above their heads not far in front of them!

Immediately afterwards, two fighting figures fell from the cave entrance, smashing a big hole in the ground of the station!
"...?"

Ou Hunt looked as if he had seen a ghost.

He had taken this train at least a dozen times, but no matter which station he was at, he had never encountered such an outrageous thing.

They actually fought and caused the roof of the station to collapse.

Can you talk a little more?

This is the place built by the 'True God', how could it collapse so easily? He had beaten up the saw-toothed alien on the train before, but even the train window was not broken.

As a result, when I turned around, I found that even the ceiling was broken.

It's off the mark.

"Take the things and run away... The information in here concerns the life and death of all humans in Mondo Province. We must get it out!"

One of the two figures in the battle suddenly threw a wooden box towards Rorschach and his team, and signaled them to retreat quickly.

Ou Hunt was still wondering why it was so outrageous, but after hearing the man's shout, he immediately took the wooden box in his hands.

His expression changed slightly, and he said to Rorschach, "Go back?"

Rorschach shrugged and didn't have any objection to it.

So, the group returned to the train. They couldn't go out to take a look even though they had wanted to.

It is worth mentioning that the original number of passengers when the train arrived at the station was 37, which became 34 after three passengers got off. However, there were also passengers getting on the train at the Orlando station, so the number finally settled at 38.

"What do you think, brother Charlotte?" Ouhunt looked at the wooden box in his hand with a complicated expression, recalling the previous situation in his mind.

The two figures in the battle actually had time to throw to them the so-called information that threatened the entire Mondo Province.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is a bit too dramatic.

So Ouhunt was a little unsure.

"Have you ever seen a station being destroyed?" Rorschach did not answer Ouhunt's question, but asked back.

"Of course not." Ouhunte shook his head and said, "Not to mention that the station was destroyed, even the small accessories in the train are impossible."

"Is this so?"

Rorschach nodded, then stretched out his hand and said, "I understand. Give me the thing."

"This one?" Ouhunt pointed to the wooden box.

"Well, just give it to me if you believe me," Rorschach said.

"Brother Charlotte, of course I can trust you." Ouhunt didn't say much and directly handed the wooden box in his hand to Rorschach.

After Luo Xia took the wooden box, he said, "Just wait for me here."

After saying that, he was seen holding the wooden box and walking straight to the entrance in front of the carriage, and throwing the wooden box out in a parabola.

After throwing it, he clapped his hands and returned to his seat.

"Done." Rorschach said.

"Just... throw it away like that?" Ouhunt was a little surprised.

He had thought of many possibilities of what Rorschach would do, but he never expected that Rorschach would be so simple and crude as to just throw it away.

"The two we just fought were two king-level alien species, including the one who threw the wooden box to you. Don't you think we shouldn't have thrown it away?" Rorschach asked with a smile.

"Two king-level ones!"

Ouhunt obviously didn't expect this to happen. He originally thought that at least one of them was a human, so they used this method to pass on information.

But I didn't expect it to be like this.

He still had some confidence in his own strength, but if he really had to face the alien king, he wasn't even sure if he could survive.

"In other words, this is a trap designed by the alien camp for the human camp, and they want to pass it back to Lancelot City through us... How vicious!" After figuring out the connection here, Ouhunt said gritting his teeth.

However, Rorschach did not quite believe this speculation.

Even if the alien camp really wants to plot against the human camp, the problem is that no matter how they plot, can they even break through the station?
Rorschach knew at first glance that this kind of bloody plot was abnormal.

Considering that there is a failed author in this world, and a very powerful one at that, it is not difficult for Rorschach to guess the truth.

It must be that failed author who felt that the simple plot of rushing on the road was too monotonous, so he had the idea to add such a copy plot.

As for the fact that the station was built by the "true God", it was not a problem at all for that failed author.

There were indeed some Old Ones who were comparable to or even stronger than the other, but the one who built the station was obviously not among them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed that failed author to mess around on his own turf.

After figuring out what was going on, Rorschach had no intention of cooperating with that failed author to continue the story because it was too troublesome.

He now wanted to reach the Lightless City as soon as possible to see if he could find any trace of Jiying.

If possible, get rid of this traitor as soon as possible. Even if you can't find him, you can continue looking for the next possibility.

He was not interested in anything else.

The failed author will definitely have some opinions about this, but he won't turn hostile over such a small matter, so he is indeed fearless.

Of course, I couldn't tell Ouhunt about these things.

At most, he would complain to Segura in his mind.

After being enlightened by Rorschach, Segura realized that what happened just now was most likely the work of Hastur, the King in Yellow. He said speechlessly, "He is one of the second-tier Old Ones after all. How can he be so boring?"

"If He weren't so boring, this incarnation of mine would have disappeared long ago, so I'd better keep it." Rorschach joked in his mind.

"That's true." Segura agreed.

"By the way, how is Senior Nuhun doing?" Luo Xia asked again.

As long as Segura's original body and Angry Soul's original body are not in different worlds, they can communicate with each other at any time through their connection, which is much more convenient than him.

So he could just ask Segura directly about the angry soul.

"We've figured out what's going on. He landed in the ancestral land of a clan of the Old Ones. It seems to be a clan of the 'Elephant God' Shaugnar Fagen, called the 'Mountain-Shaking Elephant Clan.'" Segura recalled the information that the Angry Soul had told him, and informed Rorschach.

According to what Segura and the Eighth Hell Lord Wrathful Soul knew about the Old Ones, Shaugnar Faugn, who was known as the 'Terror in the Mountains' and the 'God of Elephants', was definitely quite powerful!

Even the failed author who is now following Rorschach around all day, Hastur, the King in Yellow, can only be considered a rising star in front of him.

Among the Old Ones, the Elephant God Shaugnar is undoubtedly in the first echelon, and he even had a record of escaping unscathed after a confrontation with the 'Hell Throne'!
