Chapter 761 Hunting Completed
This is not because he is homesick, but because his soul tells him that there may indeed be things in Dockland that can pose a serious threat to him.
With his current strength as a top demigod, the one who could make him feel so threatened must be at least the King of Angels, forcing Zhou Ning to be on high alert.
He quickly materialized the gambler's dice, flicked it into the air, and judged the success or failure of this action.
The number on the dice was 6, indicating that the good luck effect of the previous wish was still there, which also indicated that this action was extremely lucky and there would be no harm.
Zhou Ning immediately took back the dice and decided not to postpone the operation. He went directly to Dockland to hunt Harrison Rivers.
But before going to Docklands, Zhou Ning also made some preparations for possible hidden dangers.
The "Border Crosser" power has a 12-minute cooldown time for long-distance crossing. Zhou Ning used the Imperial Dimension Array Shangri-La to mark his home. If there is any danger, he can be teleported back immediately with just one action.
In this way, even if something really happens that can pose a serious threat to you, you can take precautions before it happens.
After all, if hunting fails, you can try again, but if a person is killed, he will die.
After doing this, Zhou Ning directly activated the power of "Border Crosser" and chose to descend to Daklan.
…………
About three seconds later, Zhou Ning reappeared on the familiar streets of Dockland.
Thick fog, half of the sky was covered by heavy snow, and the other half was in a downpour. However, a full moon hung surprisingly high in the sky. Rows of gas street lamps and shadowy medieval-style buildings together made up the night view of Docklands, giving Zhou Ning a vague feeling that things had changed and people had returned.
He was currently in an alley near Levia Street, not too far from Harrison Rivers's residence. It had been the hardest hit area by the Docklands catastrophe, with most of the houses collapsing.
From time to time, well-dressed nobles passed by on the road, chatting and laughing loudly as they passed by Zhou Ning, as if the events of a few months ago had not affected them at all. Occasionally, some missionaries dressed in black monk's robes also hurried by.
After a few months, the place had already returned to its original state. In addition to these, Zhou Ning also noticed some strange changes:
There seemed to be a rather large number of missionaries wearing the cloaks of the Church of the Goddess of Life along the roadside. The aura of life here was richer than he had expected, and it seemed to carry a certain profound darkness. However, it didn't seem to affect him at all. Even the passersby who occasionally passed by were unaware.
Zhou Ning frowned slightly, looked up at the sky, grabbed an umbrella from the void, and used the umbrella to check the house numbers of the houses on the roadside.
According to the Little Broken Book, Harrison Rivers currently lives at 74 Levitra Street.
At this time, Xiaoposhu fell into silence and did not update its content. About 10 minutes later, a two-story building with dim lights appeared in Zhou Ning's sight.
74 Levitra Street.
With his powerful observation Haki, Zhou Ning could "feel" that there were quite a few people inside. Most of them were not very strong, and the strongest one had not even reached the level of demigod. The inside was filled with noise and a pungent smell of blood.
Zhou Ning put away his umbrella, exerted a little force with his right palm, and pushed open the door of No. 74 Levia Street.
Standing at the door, he saw the scene inside.
It seemed that some kind of sacrifice was going on here. There was a circular bonfire in the middle, with a large group of people standing around it. In the distance, gallows were erected in a large circle around the bonfire.
Hanging on the gallows were bloody corpses one after another. A group of people were surrounding the gallows, jumping and twisting in the moonlight, as if they were having some kind of carnival. Their hands and mouths were stained with blood, and they were chanting meaningless hymns.
This was a terrifying cult ritual. Just watching it made one's scalp tingle and their sanity plummet.
Zhou Ning's pupils suddenly dilated, and he saw Harrison Rivers, who was over three meters tall, standing in the crowd, watching everything indifferently.
He was still only a Super Class, seemingly pitifully weak in both strength and status. But his appearance was completely different from what he remembered. Under the moonlight, his entire body was covered in white, curling tentacles, each covered in densely packed light gray eyes. Each eye stared at Zhou Ning with a hollow, numb, and malevolent gaze, giving him a chilling feeling. He looked extremely twisted and sinister.
Only by looking at his face with its brown hair and brown beard could he be identified as Harrison Rivers.
The other party slowly turned his head, looking at Zhou Ning with his icy blue eyes, and asked in a calm tone without any fluctuations:
"Who are you? What do you want to do here?"
The ability displayed by the opponent at this time is still that of a super-class professional. He seems to be harmless, but he has an extremely strong and terrifying aura. The moonlight in the sky also suddenly becomes brighter, covering the entire courtyard, appearing mysterious and dreamy.
A familiar cold aura quickly spread throughout Zhou Ning's body.
At this moment, a thin layer of water stains appeared on the surface of "Leoncavallo's Opera in Four Acts", as if it was afraid of something. After a moment, he chose to open it and wrote lines of words on it:
"To my surprise, the tiny Harrison Rivers has connected with a hidden entity through some ritual. I cannot reveal the name of that hidden entity, otherwise even I might be contaminated. The best options now are to leave here or quickly kill Harrison Rivers, the sooner the better."
Zhou Ning's heart sank, and he quickly made a judgment within a second or two. He was about to use the Dimensional Array Shangri-La to teleport away, but a sense of crisis that made the hairs on his back stand up immediately stopped him from doing so.
There was a high probability that his teleportation target had been distorted. If he teleported rashly, he would probably get completely lost, or even face that hidden existence directly.
At this moment, the gray-white curly tentacles around Harrison Rivers' body had extended out and slapped Zhou Ning frantically from all directions.
This scene might even scare some timid people to death.
Thump, thump!
Zhou Ning could hear his own heartbeat, but his extreme calmness allowed him to remain calm even in the critical moment. He quickly escaped from the attack range of the tentacles, flew high into the air, and quickly made the best solution.
A copy of the Falik Code that he had obtained earlier suddenly jumped out of his hand, and he reached out to open it.
Considering that Harrison Rivers is essentially still a super-class professional, as long as this place can be isolated from the secret existence mentioned in the little book, perhaps the situation can be turned around.
Zhou Ning materialized a pen and quickly wrote on it:
"It is forbidden to associate with those in high positions here."
"Alfred!"
At the same time, the wishing lamp naturally jumped out of the inventory and floated in the air.
"I wish this place could not be connected to the outside world!"
A burst of golden runes rose up, interweaving into a dazzling light that spread out in an instant.
After making the wish, Zhou Ning heard Alfred's exasperated voice:
"as you wish!"
"I want you to stop bothering me for the time being."
&34;Snap! Snap!&34;
Following two crisp sounds, two deep cracks appeared on the wishing lamp, and the surface suddenly became extremely dim. Instead, the golden light in front of the eyes became increasingly intense, and spread to the surroundings along with countless mysterious symbolic symbols.
The surrounding moonlight suddenly dimmed, and at the same time, there were continuous crackling sounds, and bursts of black smoke flew into the sky.
The combined power of the laws of the Fariq Code and the Wishing Lamp had a significant effect, but judging by the intermittent moonlight, this effect would not last long.
At the same time, Harrison Rivers' body suddenly froze in place. His eyes suddenly became clear. He looked at Zhou Ning with a fearful expression and muttered to himself:
"Wayne Stewell?"
Just as he finished speaking, the next second, his body began to disintegrate, the white curly tentacles on his body gradually withered, and the bodies of a large number of cultists around him exploded one after another, collapsing into pools of black flesh and blood.
