Chapter 1371 Blood Moon (X)
The night in Rand City suddenly became extremely quiet.
The once bustling streets and night markets were deserted, the doors and windows of every household were closed, and all the shops put up their shutters as soon as night fell and were no longer open to the public.
A blood moon rose into the sky, spreading its blood color to the earth and diffusing in the streets and alleys of the city.
All the buildings seemed to be covered with a layer of dark red gauze, and there was a sense of uneasiness in the air.
At this time, even the wild cats, which like to come out to forage for food at night, hide quietly.
Late at night, footsteps were heard on the empty streets.
A team of night watchmen in grey robes, carrying swords and guns on their backs, walked through the long street, looking around with vigilant eyes.
The blood-red moonlight shone on these extraordinary people, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
In the apartment, Ronan sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the footsteps of the night watchman outside going away, then he stood up and walked to the windowsill and opened the only window in the room.
The blood-red moonlight shone in instantly.
The light fell on him!
Ronan narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
In the original body's memory, there are many rumors about the blood moon. Some are too terrifying and bizarre to be believed, but many are true and verifiable.
For ordinary people, the light of the blood moon does not have the power to be instantly fatal. Its terrifying aspect is that it can affect a person's body and mind, causing unpredictable changes.
No matter what kind of abnormality it is, it will make the victim out of the category of "human".
Become an alien that must be eliminated!
Of course, there is no big problem with being exposed to the blood moon for a short period of time.
But over time, or if it happens too often, it becomes hard to say.
Tonight is the first blood moon Ronan has faced since he came to this world.
He wanted to personally verify the power of the blood moon.
The next moment, Ronan felt a hint of cold air quietly penetrating his clothes and entering his skin.
At the same time, he faintly heard indescribable whispers, as if some being was trying to say something to him, but he could not make out the content of the words.
interesting!
Ronan activated his psychic power and expelled the cold aura that had invaded his body.
Under the protection of psychic energy, the power of the blood moon can no longer penetrate.
But as time went by, Ronan, who had been bathing in the blood-red moonlight, became aware of a strange force trying to invade his sea of consciousness with the help of inexplicable whispers!
Without hesitation, Ronan called out to the ancient Dao monument hidden in the deepest part of his sea of consciousness.
However, the Taikoo Dao Stele did not disappoint him. It instantly emerged in his sea of consciousness, emitting thousands of golden rays of light.
The strange energy that invaded the sea of consciousness instantly collapsed and was annihilated in the golden light.
really!
Ronan had long realized that, apart from the cultivation panel, his greatest cheat was this ancient Taoist monument occupying his sea of consciousness.
It has long since merged with Ronan's soul. Not only can it be summoned from the netherworld, but it is also not restricted by the laws of the other world. It can always lend a helping hand to him at critical moments, and even help him escape death!
Most importantly, as his trips to the lower world increased, Ronan could feel the Ancient Dao Monument recovering and becoming stronger.
This ensures that even when Ronan is at his weakest, his soul and consciousness will not be affected or harmed by external forces.
He was able to successfully explore the lower world many times and bring back world consciousness, all thanks to the Ancient Dao Monument!
This time is no exception.
To Ronan's surprise, when the ancient Dao Monument annihilated the external strange energy, his mental power actually increased a little, and at the same time led to the improvement of his psychic power.
Although this improvement was very slight, it gave him a big surprise!
Because Ronan discovered a shortcut to quickly increase his strength.
He originally just wanted to experience the characteristics of the blood moon for himself. After making this discovery, he continued to stand in front of the windowsill to bathe in the moonlight, using the ancient Taoist tablet to refine the strange energy and strengthen his mental power.
It is said that vampires and witches can use the power of the blood moon to practice, or cast powerful spells and sorcery.
Ronan's extraordinary way is obviously completely different from the extraordinary people in this world!
He stood in front of the windowsill for two hours, until the blood moon moved in the sky and no moonlight shone on him anymore.
Over the next few days, Ronan would bathe in the moonlight by the window every night.
Draw the essence of the moon to cultivate spiritual energy.
His progress was quite rapid.
On the fifth night of the blood moon, Ronan did not return to his apartment, but stayed on duty at the police station.
On the nights of the blood moon, police officers do not have patrol missions, so most of them go home to rest, leaving only a few to guard the police station.
There are important places in the police station, such as prisons, armory, and archives room, etc., and someone must take turns to be responsible for guarding them.
In addition to Ronan, there are three other police officers on duty at the Third Police Station tonight.
After locking all the doors and windows, at the suggestion of an old police officer, the four of them got together to play Hessian cards.
Hessian cards are similar to poker, with a total of seventy-seven cards. It is the most popular card game in the Kingdom of Invia. Most people know how to play it, and card games can often be seen in taverns and bars.
Ronan was not originally good at playing this kind of card game that requires a lot of skills, but now his calculation and reasoning abilities are far beyond what his original self could match. As a result, after playing three games, he made several other colleagues sweat on their foreheads.
"Damn it, Ronan, when did you become so good at playing cards?"
A policeman cursed and threw down the cards in his hand, then reluctantly took out two coins.
He had a good hand and played against Ronan until the end, but still lost.
Ronan smiled and grabbed the silver dollar and put it in his pocket, saying, "My luck has always been good."
They are all colleagues, and it is not good to win all the time. He plans to let the other party win a little in the next round to prevent the other party from getting angry and causing a conflict.
Ronan doesn't need to rely on gambling to make money.
"I'll shuffle the cards this time!"
The police officer who had just lost money grabbed the cards on the table and started to sort them out.
At this moment, Ronan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Did you hear it?"
The three police officers at the same table were all stunned: "What?"
The police officer who was sorting the cards sneered, "This is boring. We've just started, and you want to run away now that you've won?"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed door of the police station was suddenly hit violently. The heavy door panel shook violently, making a friction sound under the heavy weight.
The three policemen's faces suddenly changed and they immediately drew their pistols from their waists.
At this moment, the door was hit hard again, and the door panel suddenly broke into pieces.
A pitch-black monster rushed in roaring!
boom! boom! boom!
The crisp sound of gunfire suddenly rang out inside the police station.
Ronan was the first to fire the shot.
