The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 629: Blood Butterfly Valley

“Don’t worry about the information that we can’t obtain. I have calculated their sailing speed according to the previous records in the newspaper. Even if they travel in a straight line, it will take ten days to arrive smoothly.”

Longjing Tea calmly added, “If you take the subway, it will be a detour. You have to take the subway to Noah first, and in between, you have to cross a stretch of water. Then, transfer to another vehicle from the southernmost point of Noah and ride to the capital.”

“One thing to note is that the time you need to go to the Papal Kingdom is not the sum of the subway travel times. Because the subway in this era doesn’t run continuously… Even if you have the help of ‘Silver Sire’ to consistently get the tickets and enable you to transfer according to the fastest schedule, you still have to wait for two days.”

“Then you have to change trains again to Austere-Winter, which, if everything goes smoothly, can be done within half a day. Afterward, you have to change trains twice to get to the Papal Kingdom underground.”

“…Okay, that’s so much trouble.” Lin Yiyi was demotivated. She had a strong thought of “I don’t want to move anymore”.

“Trouble? There’s more hassle. Elegy Dukedom buried too many corpses underground. It might be the air is filled with dead. Anyway, there’s no underground city there.”

“So you have to go to the top of the Papal Kingdom first, and then hire the airship to fly south… As for how to persuade the captain to go in the direction of the Elegy Dukedom and how to land there, I can only say that I don’t know.”

“Assuming you didn’t miss any trains and found a rentable airship within a day, ten days have passed.”

Longjing Tea put on a friendly smile, “Are you still going to rush over there?”

“No, let me refuse it.” Lin Yiyi looked indifferent, “This is troublesome. I might as well teleport to the Papal Kingdom to exchange some experience points. I don’t want to be still traveling while offline…”

“Your only option is to teleport.” Longjing Tea couldn’t help but chuckle, “I just counted it for you to strengthen your resolve.”

“What do you mean?”

“Remember. Our ultimate goal is to intercept Celecia, not go to Elegy Dukedom.”

“Although that little girl is suspicious, I feel that she can become a long side mission. However, our ultimate goal is to stop Celecia. She left about three days ago, so her expected arrival should be seven days later.”

“Got it.” Lin Yiyi grasped the situation.

If her party went there by subway, they would not make it.

The players could only hope that after Celecia arrived, she would stay in place for more than three days. Otherwise, they would have arrived to find nothing.

“Then, I’ll teleport over.”

“Very well. My intention is to let you understand the limitations.”

Longjing Tea coughed lightly, “Then, there is only one more thing.”

“What?”

“The teleportation waypoint over the Papal Kingdom has yet to be established. Old Goose arrived in the Papal Kingdom yesterday. He’s there, so you don’t have to worry about the purification efficiency. But you still have to wait for five days. Otherwise, you can teleport to the Sporeggar Mill. We can take the subway to the Papal Kingdom in less than two days. It’s the more conservative approach.”

Longjing Tea responded with a smile, “My suggestion is… Since you were there for a day yesterday, why not stay for a whole week and establish the teleportation waypoint at Saltpeter Ranch?

“At that time, you can ask Old Goose to rent an airship first. After establishing the teleportation waypoint, you can teleport directly to the Papal Kingdom. When you arrive at the Papal Kingdom, you can directly board the airship and leave. If it goes well, you should be able to catch up before Captain of the Stone gets to Elegy Dukedom.”

“That’s a possible choice.” Lin Yiyi replied calmly, “Instead of tiring ourselves in traveling, it’s better to fight nightmares and level up on the spot.”

“However, I think the biggest problem here is not the nightmare.”

“What is it then?”

“I’m worried about the people and situation there.”

Longjing Tea looked at the report on “the Bloodhand Brothers” recorded in the newspaper on the table.

The Bloodhand Brothers were named “Barney” and “Jacob”.

Their surnames weren’t “Bloodhand”.

After the first crime, the police in Noah Kingdom, Miles Field, gave an alias to them, “Bloodhand”.

“Noah has a place called ‘Blood Butterfly Valley’. There are butterflies made of blood floating there all the time. If the butterfly lands on the skin, it will burn scars similar to the ‘infinity’ symbol.”

“Infinity? Is it the mathematical one?”

“That’s right.”

Looking at the newspaper and notebook, Longjing Tea frowned slightly, “People left with marks by blood butterflies will suffer from a disease similar to hemophilia. Once injured, they will bleed continuously, and the wound will gradually fester. Once their blood leaves the body, it becomes a new butterfly.”

“Sounds a bit like Resident Evil.”

“Yes. The most dangerous thing is that apart from ‘humans’, cows, sheep, dogs, cats, birds, and even mice can spread this curse as long as they are warm-blooded animals. That is a trace left behind by a formidable Fallen. It is the same phenomenon as the endless storm at the Storm Tower.”

“This ‘Fallen’ is the mother of the Bloodhand Brothers. The two brothers are quite powerful Fallen. When the information was last updated six years ago, they were only one step away from being fully demonized.”

After hearing what Longjing Tea said, Lin Yiyi’s expression was a little subtle.

“It won’t be a classic revenge drama in Detective Conan, right? It’s about revenge because my mother was killed.”

“That’s not quite it… I prefer to refer to it as ‘genetically ingrained flaws’.”

Longjing Tea calmly replied, “As you can tell, the blood butterfly is dangerous but will keep spawning in the valley. No matter how many have flown away or destroyed, the number of blood butterflies will eventually remain the same: 178.”

“So in the end, Swamp’s Black Tower blasted the mountain, created a clever avalanche, and sealed the two ends of the Blood Butterfly Valley. A large barrier was also created to seal the remaining gaps.”

“There was a massacre in Natta County about sixteen years ago. Although it was Natta County, which was called the Land of Lawlessness, that incident was too atrocious. More than half of the townspeople are missing. The inside of the windows and walls are covered with bloody handprints as if people covered in blood are beating the windows and walls.”

“It’s like a scene from a horror movie.”

“Indeed. It is said that the two brothers imparted the ‘Demon Blood’ recipe in Natta County. Their method is still uncertain, but it should be related to blood. As for the original purpose, it was to create ‘Demon Blood’.”

“Since the two of them are staying in the underground world, that is to say…”

“The brothers brought the first batch of Demon Blood to the underground world.” Lin Yiyi continued.

Her expression also became serious, “So, there should be a lot of Fallen hidden in Saltpeter Ranch. Is that what you mean?”

“Not only that.” Longjing Tea replied, “Maybe a real demon will appear.”

“That’s why I said it’s better to establish a teleportation waypoint if you can. But if you can’t, it doesn’t matter. You can also resurrect at Sporeggar Mill. We can then team up and fight back when we reach a higher level. If all goes well, it is better to place a teleportation waypoint.”

“Also, remember to protect yourself.”

“…Maybe it’s a little late.” Lin Yiyi whispered calmly, “Remember to put the warning at the beginning next time.”

After finishing speaking, she silently closed the chat.

Her perception attribute had been warning her half a minute ago.

There was nothing around her.

In other words, there was an undetected threat slowly approaching her room.
