Chapter 557: Monster Illustrated Book

It wasn't until the three homeless people aimed their pistols at him that Lu Lu Jianuo reacted.

As a bounty hunter with fairly rich experience, he couldn't care about distinguishing where the enemies intended to shoot, and he exerted force with his feet, lunging toward the side front.

Amidst the bang-bang gunfire, he avoided two bullets, but the remaining one, because the distance was close and the route was covered, was truly unavoidable.

Lu Lu Jianuo, lying in mid-air, did a strange thing.

He actually actively stretched his body instead of curling up to protect his vital parts, only using his palms to protect his chest.

Bang!

That bullet hit his right rib, splashing bright blood.

Thump, as soon as Lu Lu Jianuo fell to the side of the street, he immediately rolled forward, trying to avoid subsequent shooting.

And long before he made the lunging movement, in the shadows by the road, Lumian's body instantly grew out, directly giving one of the homeless people who had just pulled the trigger a punch.

Amidst the sound of "boom," that homeless person rolled his eyes and fainted.

Lumian immediately returned to the shadows, quickly swam behind another homeless person, and before he could fire a second shot, smashed a punch into the back of his ear.

Accompanied by the fall of this homeless person, Lu Lu Jianuo dodged the second bullet fired by the last attacker.

At this time, the surrounding passersby and the old women chatting on the street fled one after another, panic-stricken to find cover, and the surrounding area was suddenly cleared.

Shadows fluctuated, and Lumian stepped out of the darkness from the side of the last attacker, stretched out his right palm, and directly pinched the other party's neck.

Almost simultaneously, the attacker's mouth opened naturally, spraying out a thin black shadow.

It was a finger-thick insect with stiff hairs fluttering on its body like tentacles.

It went straight for Lumian's neck.

"Humph!"

Two faint white rays of light flashed in Lumian's nose, and the thin, strange black insect lost its power, falling softly into his raised left palm.

As expected... Lumian retracted his right hand that was pinching the homeless person's neck without much surprise.

The homeless person's whites of his eyes returned to normal, holding the pistol, retreating blankly, leaning against the wall, and sliding to the ground powerlessly.

Lumian didn't care about him, quickly swam to the side of one of the fainted homeless people, and saw a tiny, bloodless wound on the back of his cervical spine.

Another slender, black insect covered in stiff bristles darted out, attempting to escape, but it was grabbed by Lumian's palm, which was burning with a crimson, near-white flame. After struggling for just a few moments, it began to emit the aroma of something thoroughly cooked.

Immediately after, Lumian dealt with the strange black insect that crawled out of the other homeless person's body using a similar method.

During this process, Lu Lu Jianuo half-squatted on the side of the street, his left palm flashing with a clear, faint light, pressing on the gunshot wound on his right rib.

That hideous wound with a burnt smell immediately contracted, no longer overflowing with large amounts of blood.

Then, Lu Lu Jianuo pulled out a dagger and accurately and effectively "picked" a golden bullet from the wound.

After doing this, he let his left palm flash with faint light again and pressed on the wound.

The wound squirmed, fused rapidly, and soon became only one-fifth of its original size.

Lu Lu Jianuo had actively stretched his body just now, hoping the bullet would hit a place that was convenient for him to handle!

He took out a bandage, preparing to wrap the remaining wound, when Lumian walked in front of him and spread his empty right palm.

Lu Lu Jianuo understood his employer's meaning and said with quite a bit of relief while returning the "Lie" earring:

"Fortunately, I am a 'Physician.' As long as I'm not killed on the spot, a gunshot wound isn't a big problem."

Lumian silently put on the silver-white "Lie" earring, bent down, pressed and wiped on the wound on Lu Lu Jianuo, transferring it to the back of the other party's right hand.

Because the location and structure were different, and because of Lu Lu Jianuo's prior treatment, this wound degenerated into a very small patch of abrasion like scraping against a rough wall.

"..." Lu Lu Jianuo looked at the wound that didn't even need bandaging and fell into a long silence.

Lumian then smiled:

"Otherwise, why do you think I wanted you to carry 'Lie'?"

"..." Lu Lu Jianuo opened his mouth, still not knowing what to say.

Lumian looked around and ordered directly:

"Collect the guns of those three homeless people and wait for the police to come. Tell them you were attacked.

"After recording your statement, if there's nothing else, take Ludwig to the entrance of the Church of Abundance and have them preside over justice for you and maintain the order of Santa Harbor."

"Okay, okay." Lu Lu Jianuo hurried to stand up.

He had just walked two steps toward the dazed homeless person when he suddenly woke up, turned halfway, and blurted out:

"What about you? Where are you going?"

In his urgency, he forgot to use honorifics.

Lumian smiled and didn't respond.

I let you go to the Church of Abundance just to tell them what I want to do and notify them!

Lumian then walked toward the Solo Hotel, and patches of crimson flames ignited on the ground behind him, burning the blood dripped by Lu Lu Jianuo.

On the way, Lumian lowered his voice:

"Termiboros, do you know this kind of insect?"

Termiboros didn't respond.

Returning to that suite on the fifth floor, Lumian saw Ludwig eagerly taking the initiative to greet him.

His heart moved, and he spread his left palm, revealing the three black insects, one alive and two charred, and asked casually:

"Do you know what this is?"

Ludwig nodded obediently, speaking at a very fast speed:

"Batins black insects, a kind of creature from Planet 3 of Herwin, rich in various proteins and having a high energy level. They like to invade the human body from the cervical spine, control their nervous system, and manipulate them to do things beneficial to themselves.

"These three Batins black insects stopped evolving many generations ago. When manipulating the nervous system, there will be relatively obvious traces such as stiff movements and rolled-up eyes.

"Batins black insects rarely kill the host directly, but after they finish laying eggs, the growth of the larvae will absorb the host's energy, indirectly leading to the host's death.

"In ancient times, many of their ancestors received gifts. Although the descendants no longer possess the ability of the gifts, the changes in body structure adapted to the power of the gifts were passed on to them. After long evolution, a small population with a few extraordinary aspects was born.

"You can understand them as special spirit world creatures or degenerated extraordinary creatures."

After babbling a lot, Ludwig looked at Lumian with longing:

"I've finished answering.

"Can I eat them now?"

You really know... Saying it just like it's true. Batins black insects, Planet 3 of Herwin, what are all these things... The planets Aurora talked about? Lumian was stunned by what he heard.

He wasn't surprised at all that Ludwig wanted to eat the Batins black insects.

This guy could even gnaw on live mice!

And these insects were actually quite fragrant after being charred.

Lumian stared at Ludwig for a few seconds and handed the three Batins black insects in his hand over.

Ludwig didn't hide his happiness, stuffed the two charred ones directly into his mouth, biting out the wonderful feeling of juice exploding and splashing in his mouth.

He half-closed his eyes, and there seemed to be some wonderful fluctuations in his body.

Lumian frowned and watched, not stopping him.

After discovering with the "Spectator Glasses" that there seemed to be something else under Ludwig's skin, combined with the other party's daily performance and the attitude of the Church of "God of Knowledge and Wisdom," he guessed that this little boy was a monster wearing human skin, but was sealed by the Church of "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" to do some things that were inconvenient for clergy to do.

And the "Reader" pathway mastered by the Church of "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" had a large number of applications at the mental level. It was easy to understand that Ludwig's mind was damaged after being sealed, becoming silly.

After twenty or thirty seconds, Ludwig opened his eyes, turned and ran to the dining table, picked up a small steel table knife, placed the remaining Batins black insect on the tablecloth, and skillfully dissected it, picking out quite a few black fascia.

Then, Ludwig poured a glass of Manzan wine, put those fascia together with the shell of the Batins black insect into it, and added the black juice squeezed from the insect's body.

Lumian saw that the pale golden wine liquid quickly turned dark red and black, emitting dense bubbles.

After the bubbles subsided, Ludwig picked up this strange "cocktail."

Only then did he seem to remember Lumian's existence, whispering with his lips:

"Can, can I drink some?"

The mind was indeed sealed... Lumian sighed with a smile:

"Drink."

Gulp, gulp, Ludwig drank the dark red and black wine liquid, looking satisfied as he said to Lumian:

"The Batins black insect body fluid prepared this way can enhance the physique of the first-time drinker to a certain extent and allow everyone who drinks it to possess the ability to paralyze primates within two hours. Hmm, it must be completed through contact."

This, this is turning Batins black insects into something like a charm? And it has permanent effects and short-term extraordinary abilities... Lumian was surprised to find that Ludwig had undergone significant changes.

He had never shown the ability to make similar food before!

Lumian didn't ask much and said calmly:

"Wait a moment, take Lu Lu Jianuo to the entrance of the Church of Abundance and watch him tell Noelia about the attack he encountered."

"Okay." Ludwig was in a very good mood and agreed very readily.

When Ludwig and Lu Lu Jianuo arrived at the Church of Abundance, Harbor District.

Lumian, wearing a golden straw hat, walked to the square with the sea wave statue and cast his gaze toward the gray-black building with the "Santa Harbor Fishermen's Guild" sign.

This four- or five-story, castle-style ancient building was said to have a history of over a thousand years, was later destroyed, and was rebuilt several hundred years ago.

After scanning the complex symbols composed of "iron hooks," "fishing nets," etc., on the wall surface several times, Lumian pressed the straw hat on his head and walked toward the Fishermen's Guild.
