Chapter 117
Seeing that the situation was not good, he decided to slip away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Carmen, who was obviously in the know, walked too fast and didn't give a chance to talk in detail.
From beginning to end, he cared about the secret behind the copy of An Yizhi, the brave invincible didn't think about it at all, he was wondering if he would pay for An Yizhi as compensation, words like finding a buyer were pure nonsense, he sent a message simply to ask for the price.
The brave invincible is not the second generation of the powerful family of Liyuan Shangcao, nor is it the rich generation of An Yizhi, his family background is very ordinary, the game cabin is sent by a good friend Liyuan Shangcao, counting the New Year's money and his own odd job salary, it is also a little saving, but it is also very painful to take out the money to buy perfect-level equipment at one time.
Both players have their own agendas, and the quest plot will continue.
Combine the four keys of the Demon King City to get the full version of the key, the Four Heavenly Kings are finished, and the main quest is also updated to defeat the Demon King Satan III. The last task in this dungeon full of slots is to talk to the Demon King about life, but when they plan to return the same way, they find that the passage they came from has been blocked by rubble, I don't know if it was set up like this in the script or because the Red Lotus Demon Dragon summoned by An Yizhi was too much of a movement, so they found another way out.
After some searching, in the center of the fourth layer between the wind elements, where the fountain trays were placed on each floor, they found a staircase downward, and the two of them had no choice but to use lighting to make their way down the stairs.
Of course, An Yizhi still did some necessary pathfinding methods, and he didn't press the table for the time being.
The staircase leads to the deeper underground of Demon King City, and the decaying cages on both sides appear in front of the eyes of the two players, and it looks like this should be the dungeon of Demon King City.
The cage was empty, except for a few messy straw stalks and broken plates and bowls that looked like they were used for eating, and some traces of human life—excrement......
Deep underground, the already relatively confined environment, coupled with the presence of excrement, can imagine what the taste is inside.
The two players almost pinched their noses and moved forward, it was so smelly.
At this point, Ann misses John she met in the last dungeon, because she uses an 'air filter bubble' that filters out odors.
In addition to the unbearable taste, the environment here is also very terrible.
It was damp and cold, and when the light hit the railing, the shadows twisted and turned, as if some terrible monster could jump out at any moment.
In fact, no monster escaped until the two of them passed through the dungeon area, as if there was only a dead silence.
The brave invincible breathed a sigh of relief, and the moment he closed the door of the cell area to cut off the terrible smell, he truly sighed at the importance of fresh air, but the keen An Yizhi felt a touch of unusualness.
It's so quiet.
It was too quiet in the cell area I had just passed.
Not to mention rodents like mice, there are not even bugs!
There is always an indescribable pressure on the way, which is indescribable and very uncomfortable.
Leaving the cell area, the two continued to move along the passage, which was illuminated with runes, and instead of dispelling the gloom in An Yizhi's heart, the miserable white light gave him a feeling of impending rain.
Passing around the corner and opening a thick wooden door, they arrived at a church-like room.
Rows of wooden benches, at the front of which is a podium, backed by a stained glass window full of Gothic style, lit by candles, hung from the ceiling with chandeliers, the flickering lights are not too bright, and the room is full of shadows that cannot be seen.
"There's a sign over there"
An Yizhi followed the instructions of the brave and invincible, and there was a doorway on the far right of the room, and a wooden sign written in conspicuous white paint hung on the edge of the doorway.
Leads to the Demon King Hall.
It turned out to be a typo, and it was written in a smaller font next to it, 'too lazy to change'
The originally scary atmosphere was completely ruined by this wooden card, and the depression that pressed on the hearts of the two players disappeared a lot.
"Wait"
Calling the brave invincible who was about to pass through the doorway, Ann turned around and scanned the church.
"Brave, you go find any hints on the chair, be careful, I feel like there should be a side quest or something in this place."
"Okay, I'll look for it"
In the eyes of the invincible brave, An Yizhi is a master of strategy, and he can always find clues that others can't find.
In fact, everyone who is familiar with the player's manual knows that the system does not do useless things, and the generation of each scene is rigorously calculated, even a random stone placed in the corner of the wall has the purpose of enhancing the visual detail.
Along the way, they passed through the dungeon area and the church in front of them, and the system did not have any prompts, which means that the key points in the area have not been triggered, and the plot of the key points must be triggered, so naturally it can only be a side quest or something.
The brave invincible searched very carefully, carefully inspected every inch, and even touched the places that could not be seen under the bench with his hands. In the trust of An Yizhi, since he said that there is a side quest, then there must be.
And our protagonist Ann Ichichi stayed where she was, unhurriedly scanning everything, so that Mohela stayed obediently on her shoulder, she knew that her master was thinking and needed to be quiet.
At first glance, there is nothing special to pay attention to in this church, at best it is a little shabby. But An always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it for a while.
"Brother An, I've looked at the chairs on the left, and there are no special hints."
In a short time, the brave invincible had already finished looking at the rows of benches on the left.
"Is there really a side quest here? No matter how you look at it, it's a very ordinary church, so will it be on the side of the cell just now? ”
"It's really ordinary, but don't forget where we are now, it's normal to have a dungeon under the Demon King City, and it's not normal to have a church in itself."
The brave invincible suddenly realized, this church appears in other copies is at most a simple set, and it is very eye-catching when it appears under the demon king city, is the demon king religious?
Wait, religious......
Ann caught a glimmer of light with his fingers, and he looked at the gothic glass window, and then looked around the room again, finally finding the source of this sense of disobedience.
That is, there are no religious symbols!
There are three Qings in the Taoist temple, and the Buddha is enshrined in the temple, which is a very normal thing, and the small church will make some crosses as a symbol of the Lord.
Although the nature of this growth copy is temporary, judging from the monsters that appear, it is inseparable from the multiverse background, and there are no crosses in the church, but there are not even any gods' emblems, which is very strange.
...... a god-based building that doesn't pray to any gods? So what's the point of existence!
I've found the source of the sense of disobedience, but where are the key clues?
He strode over to the podium and struck with the hilt of his dagger where the mezzanine might have been hidden, but found no hole.
The podium is nothing more than a very ordinary poplar material, with a layer of varnish on the outside. It looked like it hadn't been used in a long time, and the countertop had fallen a thick layer of dust.
Am I guessing wrong?
Thinking so, he crouched down and used the light above his head to illuminate the 'belly' under the podium.
A very strange mark.
It looks close to the pentagram, but it is irregular and distorted, reminiscent of a starfish soaked in water, with a ring carved in the center and a small symbol resembling a flame inside. The outer ring is a bunch of lines that cannot be identified or attested to provenance.
Surprisingly, An Yizhi, who saw this pattern, actually felt a little relieved, and he didn't even understand where this sense of peace of mind came from.
Is this the emblem of any god? But why is it drawn here?
When ordinary believers pray to the gods, they are eager to offer the emblem as an ancestral shrine, so why should it be painted under the pulpit?
While staring at it, I searched for records about the gods in my head, but naturally found nothing.
An Yizhi was about to turn his head and ask Hela, presumably there should be a record in her huge database, but something strange happened, and he found that he couldn't take his eyes off!
A faint mutter, a series of stumbling notes, male and female, grew louder and clearer.
l’aShub-Niggurath! l’aShub-Niggurath! l’aShub-Niggurath!
Ann was immersed in the high-pitched prayer, unable to extricate himself......
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"Junior"
The ancient dragon Bradrick manifested from the legendary sword on his waist, and it was in such a bad condition that even the phantom could not be properly maintained.
Ever since the beginning of the dungeon, it had seen an illusion of fear, which had greatly hurt its fragile mind, and it was nothing more than a fragment of its soul, which made it even worse, and it knew that it could no longer accompany the brave and invincible for too long.
"Uncle Long? What's up? ”
"Go and see your companion, I feel a fear of the unknown, something seems to be wrong with him"
The brave invincible only then found An Yizhi squatting motionless behind the podium in a daze, and the Demon Hela on his shoulder fell beside him as if he was dead.
"Brother An!"
He tried to scream, but there was no response.
"Pull him away!"
"I'm struggling, Brother An has become so heavy!"
The Brave Invincible, whose strength is as high as 8 points, has been upgraded and corrected by more than a dozen levels, and its strength is no longer comparable to that of a human Hercules in reality, but it is very difficult to pull the thin An Yizhi up from the ground with such great strength.
"Strength rises!"
The brave invincible roared, and with all the strength of his body, he finally pulled An Yizhi to the side.
"Brother An? Brother An! ”
I...... What just happened?
Gradually, his eyes regained their senses, and the consciousness of the broken fragment revived.
"Brother An, what happened to you just now?"
"I don't know ......"
He tried to remember what had just happened, but found that he couldn't remember anything.
"I just remember...... There's a symbol under the podium, and then ......? And then it's not clear"
Ann said in confusion, at which point he noticed Hela fall to the ground and hurried over to pick her up.
[Warning: Your Demon is in a coma]
There is only one sentence in the system log, and there are no more hints.
"Ann Yizhi, you were just bewitched by a very terrifying vision"
Grulogne Bradrick guessed:
"I can't tell what it is, there are very few people who know about it, because knowing too much often leads to ruin, and I suggest you stop this adventure immediately."
Bradlick's advice is pertinent, and there is nothing wrong with NPCs from the point of view, but it is impossible for the player to abandon the growth quest because of this risk.
"Junior, I'm going back to the sword, I may not be able to help you for a long time in the future, you must be careful of the unspeakable existence"
After saying that, Bradlick's phantom disappeared, and in order to help the brave invincible for a longer time, he could only minimize the time he spent appearing.
"Unspeakable existence...... l’aShub-Niggurath……”
An Yizhi felt very familiar, and he always felt as if he had heard it somewhere.
