Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 385 Herding the Red Angel Evil Spirit

A dozen minutes later, at the intersection of the West Side and Queens, Williams Street.

Many residents of this affluent neighborhood had already left Backlund for New Year's holiday and to escape the plague. With the night drawing near, the streets were extremely deserted.

Lu Ze walked all the way to house number 8 before stopping.

"I never expected to end up here again. I've really made a lot of crazy decisions tonight."

M remarked with emotion.

"."

Lu Ze glanced at her, said nothing, and immediately activated his "herding" ability, driving the soul of the "vengeful spirit" within his body.

"brush!"

His body vanished without warning, transforming into a phantom spirit. Then, he manipulated the spirit, lunging directly at the road in front of the house. However, he felt no impact; he burrowed into the road without any resistance.

The spirit can travel freely without being restricted by things, and he wanted to use this method to go directly to the sealed underground of this house.

That's right, right beneath this house lies that ancient Quaternary ruin!
That ancient ruin that imprisoned the evil spirit of the "Red Angel"!
Because his sister was released at sea, the space in his body that was meant for the lamb was now empty, which was just the right place to put that guy!

Of course, using malevolent angelic spirits as livestock is an extremely dangerous thing. But isn't what he's planning to do now just as extremely dangerous? To crush the royal family, to make that arrogant and ruthless king feel his anger, he's willing to do anything.

Guided by his spiritual instincts, Lu Ze plummeted rapidly until a sense of ease washed over him. He had broken through the bricks and soil and arrived at the sealed ruins.

"despair."

He manipulated his spirit to fly to the ground, then deactivated his "spirit form," returned to his normal size, and stepped onto the ground.

The building remained as dark and eerie as ever, with massive pillars adorned with asymmetrical, cleaved patterns. Behind me was the passageway leading up, destroyed by explosives. Ahead lay two rows of rooms, still asymmetrical in number. The central corridor was deep and silent, where the true form of the evil spirit seemed to reside.

The last time I was here, I was caught in the teleportation while rescuing Princess Sofia Einhorn of Fussac.
Returning to this familiar place, Lu Ze felt little emotion; instead, his expression was stern as he faced the central passageway.

"tick, tick"

The sound of liquid dripping came from the other end of the passageway, and for some reason, Lu Ze immediately felt that it was blood.

"You're finally here."

A chuckled voice rang out from the end of the passageway, "I thought you were so scared of me that you'd never dare to show your face again."

"Medici, don't even think about provoking me."

Lu Ze responded calmly.

"Provocation? I was just giving you a friendly greeting."

The voice laughed and said, "Believe me, if I really wanted to provoke someone, I could inevitably anger anyone."

"Heh, you're really something then."

Lu Ze sneered, "If you were really that powerful, why were you captured and killed here?"

Medici's voice faltered.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

Two other voices then rang out, bursting into laughter and making no attempt to hide their mockery of Medici.

"Alright, you two good-for-nothings, it's because of you that I've ended up like this."

Medici sighed, and after a moment, asked Luze, "So, you've finally come to the right place and are here to break my seal?"

He concealed his emotions very well, showing no signs of anxiety or impatience.

"There's no need to break the seal. I've come here to herd your livestock."

Lu Ze replied.

“Herding? Herding is fine too,” Medici laughed. “As long as I can get away from here, becoming your lamb is a good option.”

You're thinking of taking advantage of this to possess my body, aren't you?
Lu Ze sneered inwardly but didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to ask, "So, how am I supposed to herd you?"

"Just like normal grazing."

Medici replied, "You can use your abilities on my spirit."

At this moment, the other two souls who had always been his enemies did not interrupt, but listened quietly, as if they were expecting something.

"I see."

Lu Ze said calmly.

"You seem very confident."

Medici suddenly laughed. "Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of this and take over your body?"

"You may have been terrifying in life, but after you die, you'll just be an evil spirit."

Lu Ze answered half-truthfully.

"Hehe. Then keep approaching me."

Medici said.

You don't have to tell me.

Lu Ze strode forward and walked towards the passageway.

Terrifying hallucinations flashed before his eyes one after another, including images related to Medici, as well as the experiences of the angels Sauron and Einhorn. They were angels in life, and their spirituality after death could still exert a great influence.

Lu Ze passed through a series of illusions, stepping onto the black floor and entering the passageway.

He saw blood gushing from the depths of the earth, accompanied by arcs of flame, and a handsome young man with red hair riding a headless white horse galloping across the land.

He saw that in the glorious era, dragons, giants, elves, and countless other creatures were killed by the young man with his greatsword. Above the radiance of the sky, it seemed that some great being cast an approving gaze upon the young man.

He also saw the rose of betrayal in full bloom, and the young man captured after a battle and tied to a chair in an empty room;

Then, the scene shifts, and two more identical chairs appear in the room. Three red-haired people are arranged in a triangle, each with their backs to the other and their heads bowed.
Finally, all the images disappeared, and what appeared before him was a blood-soaked double door, the blood on it as fresh as if it had just been splashed on!
"boom!"

The moment Lu Ze saw the door, the veins on his face burst open.

"Very good, a nice greeting."

He said with a cold face.

"I've been trying very hard to control my breathing," the voice behind the door said. "Don't waste each other's time."

At this point, he finally couldn't help but reveal a slight sense of urgency.

It was as if a pair of malicious eyes were peering in from behind the door, waiting.

"Then shut up and wait."

Lu Ze said, then opened his palms towards the door.

The shepherd's abilities activated, allowing him to accurately sense the presence of a spirit behind the door. However, this being seemed to be beyond his capabilities, and the spiritual energy within him instinctively resisted!
"grazing!"

Lu Ze forcibly activated his ability and shouted.

"call--"

A bone-chilling wind howled through the door.

Lu Ze could feel that the cold wind hadn't drawn the thing behind the door away, but it had floated up on its own, passed through the door, and landed in his palm.
