The other party immediately fell to the ground with a wail, and it seemed that he no longer had the ability to resist.
Is this the end?
Hitzfeld looked at the old woman and then at Count Dodge, and did not relax his vigilance at all.
She didn't even want to move forward. She just wanted to stand here and wait for the expected changes, if any.
The variable disappoints her, as it does not come from these two people, but from "Princess Vona" who is bound by the bone snake.
As Hitzfeld walked forward nearly ten steps, she had already passed most of the hall, and Princess Vona, who was originally in front of her on the right, had fallen behind her.
So she didn't see that Princess Vona's body was melting into juice at this moment... These juices flowed little by little, seeping into the stitched human skin laid on the floor, giving them life again.
At first, a piece of human skin swelled up.
That was where the golden crown had fallen... It was lying in a swamp of flesh and mud, and from under the swamp rose the outline of a spherical ball, just enough to wear it.
Then the thing grew bigger and bigger, rising higher and higher, pulling the skin of people in the entire hall bit by bit, and Hitzfeld soon noticed the shaking under his feet.
She looked back and saw the bulging "demon".
It was nearly two meters tall, and only the outline of a female could be seen on its body. Its surface was covered with fishy gravy and mucus, and the whole thing was wrapped in stitched human skin that protruded from the ground. Human facial patterns could be seen on almost every surface of its body.
"Hitzfeld..."
Head, chest, shoulders, thighs...more than a dozen faces started mumbling at the same time.
"Hitzfeld...Hitzfeld..."
"You haven't answered my question yet..."
"The person I cherish... Sheriff Xia... Is she okay...?"
“…” Hitzfeld frowned and opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
But the next moment! This demon monster suddenly jumped up - instead of rushing towards the girl in front of him, it pulled its body away in the opposite direction!
It may seem unreasonable, but don't forget its skin. The skin on the surface of its body is raised from the ground.
This means that the part of the skin that has not yet bulged has spread from below to the entire hall, not just the floor of the hall, but also the walls and ceiling around the hall!
"Ding Ding Ding-"
The sounds of iron breaking off were almost continuous, and it took only a breath. Before Hitzfeld could turn around and look behind her, the wall that Count Dodge had painted on flew towards her, like a piece of soft, elastic dough that was stretched out.
At the same time, the upper body of the demon twisted back in a counterintuitive movement, and a pair of deformed hands covered with human faces stretched out towards the girl, apparently intending to attack her from both sides with the retracted wall.
[It really underestimates us!]
I heard Ms. Yusilian's excited shout.
[Quick! Do it!]
She spoke fast enough, but it was too slow compared to the speed of the attack and the speed at which Hitzfeld responded to the attack... When her last syllable fell, Hitzfeld had already slipped out of the gap between the two.
It wasn't a particularly sophisticated step. If anything, it was more like a dance step, like the "sword dance step" the girl had practiced with others.
The secret to her escape was that she fired a shot at the ground with every step she took. Ice grenades exploded under her feet, and the ice spikes formed along the way were like ice crystal flowers under her feet. These flower spikes were not aimed at their owners at all, but performed their duties conscientiously, overlapping and thickening in front of her again and again, forming a circle of ice crystal spikes full of vitality.
Zheng——
Like the sound of a spring breaking.
The human skin wall bounced back and penetrated the spiked wall directly, and dozens of holes appeared instantly. These holes quickly cut the human skin into pieces under the inertial force of the human skin itself, like a broken rubber band, and bounced hard on the human demon.
There was another muffled sound, and the demon was directly flung away. His body was covered with several layers of human skin, almost becoming a sphere.
"Did you think this was the end?"
The woman nailed to the wall yelled at her.
"You're going to die here!"
“Just like us!”
Zheng——Zheng——Zheng——
More and more breaking noises were heard from all around, and finally, all the human skins broke free from their restraints, like a pocket that was fiercely tightening towards the center, determined to wrap the girl inside.
The old woman couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Yes…maybe Dodge and Barish’s plan will fail after all.
She and her husband were unable to complete the division of royal power, unable to form a House of Representatives, and she did not have the honor of becoming the wife of the first prime minister, the most glorious first lady.
But the man in front of her... this terrifying guy who knew all the secrets but remained indifferent to it... Count Xieyang! She must also stay and be buried with them!
At least there was Ron.
Langen Barish, the heir chosen by her husband, did not seem to have the heart to rebel, and according to the intelligence that had been sent back, he was very close to the royal family and Count Xiyang, and was almost willing to join them and serve them.
But the influence of ideas cannot be changed by human will.
This is the future her husband, Ebony Dodge, personally described to her.
"Lon is hope."
She remembered him saying this.
"I feel uneasy about working with that monster... Although we have the upper hand with Vona Asfen, this matter still seems a little strange. I must consider the possibility that we may fail."
"If you fail, Lang En will be responsible for passing on this part of the idea."
"Barish's thoughts and ideas will one day make the flowers of the Republic bloom again in this world."
So she must not be allowed to live...
She already knew that Ron was hope...
She must die...
You must die!!!
Faced with a seemingly fatal crisis - because there was really no room to dodge, Hitzfeld's expression still did not change much.
At most, she just raised her eyebrows, and then she turned her left hand, using the wrist of her free left hand to support her palm, and she rotated leisurely like a band conductor, and the rhythm in the field changed.
The "Household Bone Snake" has almost lost its presence since it was freed from the human-demon, but it has not disappeared nor "died", it is just waiting for its master's call.
Just like now... its bony body deformed instantly, and its original structure kept stretching and becoming thinner... It was pulled into a white silk thread that was so long that it seemed to have no end. It was carried by the dead bone ice needle and spun wildly around Hitzfell.
It seemed to be targeting her, but in fact it was targeting the shrinking human skin.
If time was slowed down, the old woman would be able to see clearly that the ice needle was simply acting as a sewing needle, constantly piercing through the human skin and shrinking and tightening it with silk thread. It actually stopped its shrinking trend and pulled it to the side, shrinking it into a flesh-colored "pupa" in the center of the hall.
The demon struggled and squirmed in the cocoon, and Hitzfeld continued to manipulate the ice needles to fly, just like how she did to the "Lord of Gluttony" in the duel between the Secret Keepers, tightening the skin cocoon with perfect stitches again and again, forcibly sewing it back to the appearance of "Vona".
right?
That's why she dared to chase him.
The Dodges' plan.
The conspiracy of the crown.
Vona is the most crucial "prop".
And the means that the enemy may use.
As a detective, she had taken all these things into account. She was 100% sure of her plan, and she did not think that the enemy had any special features that could threaten her in the short term.
Then there is nothing to be afraid of.
She didn't need to listen to the long speeches because she had already heard what she needed to hear.
She didn't need to be afraid of those conspiracies and plots, because it was the right path to take... Her experience and strength would not allow her to back down from such an opportunity.
She is no longer a weak person who needs protection, but an arbiter who can settle all matters by herself.
She is Count Hitzfeld of Xieyang.
No one can live forever under the ice needles of dead bones.
At this point, the battle is over.
The total time is estimated to be just over a minute, less than 100 seconds, which includes the time that Count Dodge spent talking nonsense at the beginning.
"Hitz... Phil..."
Stitched back into Vona's outline, the demon struggled, trying to get closer to the girl with the crown on his head.
But Hitzfeld ignored it, walked over to the side of the blasted Earl Dodge and checked his injuries.
Fortunately, although he was hurled into the wall and broke a few bones, it was not a big problem. She should be able to hand over a safe suspect to the investigation team and let them worry about it.
"Let Ron go..."
Count Dodge suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to grab her wrist.
Hitzfeld dodged directly.
"Let Lang En go... Count...if possible...let Heldim go..."
"You are joking, Count."
Hitzfeld stood up again and looked down into the old man's face.
"Although Mr. Barish is young, he obviously knew what he was doing very early. It is true that youth can be an excuse most of the time, but you know... this country never cares about having an extra noose."
"Why do you have to do this?" Count Dodge coughed up blood.
"I can now speak openly... I admit the crime I committed, but Count... where is the light of salvation?"
"You can say that my motives are not so pure... Because indeed, although I firmly believe that what I do is just, if I succeed, I will be the one who benefits the most... You can criticize me from this perspective and call me an ambitious person..."
"But those who were used by me, they actually lost their most important and precious people in this history... Don't they know that following me may lead to the gallows? You should know that they understand..."
Hitzfeld's heart moved, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking air behind his ear.
This movement is too obvious...
Such a violent surge of spirit almost exposed his attack intentions. She didn't need to exert any effort at all, just slightly turned her body, raised her leg and kicked the man's knee, and the man screamed and fell to the ground.
It's Heldim.
This brat, I think he had been hiding in the corridor on the other side, eavesdropping and spying. Just when she seemed to be winning, Heltim risked his life to launch a sneak attack.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Count Dodge remained silent.
He was 100% certain that Heltim was also finished.
"You seem to care about Barish's offspring," Hitzfeld said to him. "Your wife is dying, don't you care about her at all?"
She glanced across at Rose Dodge, who was still nailed to the wall.
This person is different. Her injuries are too severe. Even if she is put on a stretcher and sent to the hospital now, it may not be too late. Considering her age, she is probably dead.
"Rose and I don't have much time left to live..."
"So you guys are going to take this opportunity and give it a try." Hitzfeld interrupted him, "Have you ever thought that since that thing can deliver an empty shell of Vona to you, then is it the one behind all this?"
"Have you ever thought that you were affected by it?"
"..." Count Dodge was stunned and looked at the struggling Vona, speechless.
Seeing him like this, Hitzfeld also sighed.
This is indeed possible... With the Crown's cunning and wisdom, it has both the motive and the ability to do so, because it most likely planted a seed in Vona's body when it first came into contact with her, and then just when the Death Tree was causing chaos, that is, when the order of the palace and the order of Wayne collapsed and cracked, it completely transferred itself into Vona's body, lying dormant like this, and even Insel didn't notice its existence.
In the following plot, she guessed that the Eclipse Church assisted Vona in taking control of the Boca Chamber of Commerce.
The Boca Chamber of Commerce has a long history, and they should be a force supported by Eclipse. When they started the turmoil in Delita, Yinsel was still alive, so it is not ruled out that the purpose of the creation of the Boca Chamber of Commerce was to start a turmoil.
They had simulated it in Delita, and maybe the "Crown" played a role in the process, but even Yinsel thought it was Vona's idea.
Until he failed and died suddenly in Elsa, the "Crown" felt that the threat had disappeared. It was finally time to show up. It also obtained information about "Aisun-Hitzfell" through the information channels and root knowledge of the Boca Chamber of Commerce. Then it sneaked back through the Chamber of Commerce's cargo ship, and contacted the Barishes who had already cooperated with the Boca Chamber of Commerce in the name of Vona, and jointly formulated a "revolution" plan.
Maybe it wanted to repay Richard Baresch's descendants, or maybe it just treated everyone as pawns.
This cold-hearted monster... Alfred died because he became part of its plan. Whenever Hitzfeld thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of hatred.
Heltim was still wailing on the ground.
Hitzfeld's kick was not actually very heavy, but he was rushing forward at the time, and his kung fu was not good enough so his lower body was unstable, and the collision of the two forces caused greater damage than expected - the knee of his front leg was almost bent backwards.
Also attracted by his shouting, chaotic footsteps were soon heard from below. A group of policemen in black rushed into the hall, and more than a dozen flashlights were flashing everywhere in the dim hall.
