I heard that I’m super fierce - Chapter 78

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The air seemed to freeze.

All this was so familiar—the water drops rolling on the dry ground, gradually seeping into the soil, making the splashed and blurry pattern even more dizzying.

Langton’s face turned to a strange pink color.

“Yes, it’s you—” This familiar style finally awakened his dusty memory. He raised his index finger and pointed at Lin You’s face tremblingly. This tremor was a kind of extreme anger mixed with fear, “You actually dared to come back?”

“Why wouldn’t I dare to come back?”

Lin You said innocently. The skull shook his head and sighed. It could almost guess what was going to happen next.

“It’s not me who burned the base camp.”

Langton: “…”

He was stunned by what she said, and what she said was tantamount to thrusting a knife into his bloody heart again. With his eyes bulging out and his chest rising and falling, it seemed that he might pass out at any time—but she didn’t know if someone like him who was not “alive” in the usual sense would pass out.

When Lin You saw him last time, Langton claimed that he had been blessed by the mother god when he tried to sacrifice himself to the black goat kid and was able to return to the world. Of course, living or not, he had no shadow and lived like a physical ghost.

Langton didn’t really faint after all. He ground his teeth with a crunching noise, letting the suppressed growl pierce his throat.

“I kill you—!”

“Trust me.” Lin You said, “You still have time to run.”

A swollen body blocked him like a wall in front of Lin You.

Langton, who was originally murderous, almost changed his face when he saw this guy clearly.

For the first time in history, Lin You heard the water ghost—now it seemed more appropriate to call her “Mrs. Langton”—open her mouth.

Her voice was weird, low, and mute, and it sounded like it came from a very deep place, with a faint echo. Obviously on the land, with the sound of dripping water, she could hear the sound of bubbles blowing when she opened her mouth.

“We still have accounts that haven’t been settled,” she called him by religious name. “Yafu.”

“No.”

Langton said as he stepped back.

“It’s been so long, you won’t…”

“I will.”

Mrs. Langton said contemptuously.

“You know why I didn’t move you for so long,” she gave a short, sharp smile, “Now you are nothing without it! It’s time to calculate your account of drowning me in that lake— “

Frightened and fearful, Langton turned his attention to Lin You for help, who just shrugged.

Knowing that there was no way to ask for help, he turned around and tried to run but failed. The bucket of water splashed by Lin You accumulated a shallow puddle at his feet, and Mrs. Langton obviously felt that this was enough. A palm made of water came out of the puddle and gripped Langton’s ankle tightly. The force used seemed to be about to twist his ankle, and the skull was watching and gritting his teeth.

“Uh……”

They stood so close that the punches and kicks could be heard clearly, and the skull asked uncertainly: “Are we here to watch?”

“You heard what she said. The last time we came here, he told the black goat cub to chase us down.”

Lin You said: “Fortunately, I still bear less grudges.”

“Leave some air for him.” She warned.

Mrs. Langton’s movements didn’t even stop.

She beat him to her heart’s content, and she listened to Lin You’s words. At least when she got up and left, Langton, who was lying on her stomach, could still cover the bruise on his body and yell “Ouch, ouch.”

He got up with a swollen nose and a big face. Langton looked at Lin You and his ex-wife with fear and resentment. In the end, he didn’t dare to say anything. He found a strong enough root and sat down, remembering what Lin You asked him before.

This person was very shrewd, but he still knew what to do at this time to his advantage.

“Very good,” he said pathetically, obviously not wanting to be beaten again, “What do you want to know?”

“A lot.”

This time, Lin You interrupted him, “We’ll talk about it later.”

She had her own thoughts. The water ghost was holding her arms behind her, almost forcibly driving Langton along with her. She disappeared after the five-minute time limit passed, but Langton obviously didn’t figure out what was going on, and he would look back from time to time.

He did not dare to run—in fact, he did not have the opportunity to do so. The skull was staring at him, even if it was hanging on the bag to keep his sight in the same direction.

“It’s fine like this.”

They returned to the burnt hotel ruins and beside the car, Lin You picked up a sharp stone among the adjacent grass.

Skull: “…Huh?”

“I’m making a mark so they know where to find me.” Lin You said, weighing where to mark the bark, “I can’t wait here all the time, in case those guys come back on a whim again.”

Around the lake, every few trees, Lin You drew a shallow trace on one of them. When she reached the depths of the forest, she confirmed that she would not be easily seen before stopping.

“Now we can talk.”

“Where did those people come from?” Lin You asked.

“What?” Langton, who had followed honestly, retorted, “Should I not ask you about this?”

Seeing Lin You’s gaze, he forgot who was beaten just now and laughed mockingly.

“You called for police assistance—”

He said.

“It attracted the attention of some people. They gathered here and discovered its existence. It preached to them the gospel of the Mother God,” Lin You noticed that he no longer called it the black goat kid “That lord” as before, “Then it accepted the offerings of these believers.”

“There is a problem.”

The skull interjected. It had already heard of the connection between Langton and the black goat kid.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Didn’t you summon it?”

The subtext was, how was he so unwelcome now, being pushed out by those hooded guards?

A muscle on Langton’s face twitched.

“You have to know that not everyone—everyone acts resolutely as the messenger of the Mother God,” he said dryly, pulling his thinning hair. “Some also like to just enjoy humans blindly giving them sacrifices…since it discovered that what they sacrificed to it was much richer than what I sacrificed…”

Lin You: “…”

Is the black goat kid so realistic these days?

“So,” the skull said, telling the truth about Langton’s faltering, “It kicked you out?”

If Mrs. Langton was still here, she would have sneered “You deserved it.”

Lin You suspected that she heard the violent pulsing of Langton’s veins.

“Yes,” he said, restraining himself.

“Now I wanted to summon the Mother God. I found them and wanted to join, and then I was kicked out…They seemed to hate me for making it squeeze in the attic, but what could I do then?!”

“But,” Lin You said, “No matter what you say, don’t you have experience? Why do they—”

“I’m not important.”

Langton gritted his teeth.

“As long as it is there, the chance of successfully summoning the Mother God is greatly increased. Anyway, I haven’t summoned the Mother God. I just know how to do it. It can tell another person the way—I don’t matter, you understand? “

“I don’t care if you break the ceremony,” he stared at Lin You, “If I can’t participate in this ceremony, I won’t be able to let the Mother God see my loyalty. It doesn’t matter if it’s a success or a failure!”

He took a deep breath and then continued without anger.

“They must have prepared the open-air altar, and the summoning ceremony must be held on the night of a New Moon—”

In the past, the enemy had an assisting role in a sense, which was a bit strange. But Lin You, who was used to ordering ghosts, was already used to it. She looked at the sky that was still bright, “New Moon? When?”

“Tomorrow night,” Langton said.

Time was limited.

Their conversation ended with a rustling sound. Lin You didn’t worry too much. She knew who the person was more likely to be, and even if the group of believers really chased them, there was a solution.

The blades of grass shook, and the person walking in front of her saw her.

“Sister You!” he exclaimed in surprise.

Geng Qinghe looked at Langton on the side again. Maybe it was because the other’s face was so swollen, but he didn’t even recognize him for a while.

Langton did recognize him—the kid in the hotel. But his rivalry with him was not as great as Lin You’s and coupled with the fact that he was beaten and revealed his face, he didn’t want to talk, but sneered.

Geng Qinghe: “…?????”

He was scorned for nothing, and his face was dazed. Thinking about it, he should turn his gaze back to Lin You.

“I saw the scratches on the tree,” he scratched his head, “Then Gu Heng guessed that it was marks you left, Sister You——”

Behind him, a strange-looking person came out.

“I heard him talk about the situation.”

Gu Heng said. He looked at the skull on Lin You’s waist, “…Who is this?”

The Skull was fairly satisfied with his name, and hummed, “Thank you for not asking ‘what is this’.”

Geng Qinghe: “…”

So close! He almost asked!

“I met it on Silent Hill.” Lin You said, she didn’t intend to say too much, “Did you see anything on the way?”

“No,” Geng Qinghe replied without hesitation, “I haven’t seen anything except the burned hotel.”

He immediately remembered something, “But…”

Huh?

Lin You raised her eyebrows.

“Let me say it,” Gu Heng took out something from his own bag, “I didn’t see it on the road, but before we left, we found something interesting.”

What he held in his hand was a long and narrow box.

“I checked the record and it was the latest commission from ‘me.’ The client inherited this from his uncle and was attacked that night. The attacker almost snatched it. So he deposited it to the office, hoping to help look up its history.”

Gu Heng opened the lid.

A dagger lay on the soft cushion.

The dagger was about thirty centimeters long. The blade was made of sterling silver, and the handle was made of bronze. The overall style was ancient and delicate, carved into the shape of a water bird, with the beak as the handguard and the long neck as the handle.

A line of…hieroglyphs was engraved on the knife?

“This is an ibis.”

The skull said suddenly.

Lin You: “Ibis?”

“The holy bird of the Egyptian gods,” said the skull in a tone of “have you never heard of this before?” “I have studied them very well.”

—And so on.

Lin You suddenly had an idea.

“Can you understand ancient Egyptian?” she asked.

“—It’s better to ask,” If its body was intact, the skull would stick its chest out proudly, “what language I don’t know.”

Geng Qinghe: “…Can you translate the meaning of this sentence?”

“No, no, the meaning is not important.”

The skull said repeatedly.

“The real translation of this line of characters is a transliteration, the first character is pronounced ‘ny’, and the pronunciation of the second character is ‘har’—”

Listening to it read these two sounds, Lin You already faintly felt something.

She lowered her head, “You don’t want to say…”

“Yes.” The skull said calmly. “It can be pronounced as ‘Nyarlathotep’ when connected. The inscription is his real name.”

This dagger was a token of “Nyarlathotep,” one of the original gods of the three pillars.

Now it’s great fun.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
