Chapter 533 Tutankhamun
[Faced with Katarina's warning and invitation, you choose...]
The options are 'Agree' and 'Reject'.
Mu You chose Reject without much hesitation.
In fact, after the evolution of the Blood Shrine, he no longer needs to rely on clearing this server to open the Blood God's faith. Going outside to collect some God's blood can still break through the bottleneck of thin blood and upgrade to the 10th generation, opening the path of Blood God's promotion. So he can just leave now.
The reason why he wants to stay is to collect blood rhythm.
The Blood God is not like other gods, who can unlock one divine art after another through the Faith Pool. As long as they invest in divinity, they can learn it instantly.
All the 'blood rhythms' developed by the Blood God in the past have been spread through the bloodline and dispersed to the children. Except for these vampires, there is no other way to get them.
This scene is equivalent to a treasure house of blood rhythm for him. How much blood rhythm he can collect here will determine how many blood clan skills he will have in the future.
So Mu You's goal next is no longer to clear the level, but to collect as much blood rhythm as possible.
[You shook your head and rejected Catalina's invitation. ]
[Catalina saw your determination and looked at you with some regret: "You helped Allah to complete liberation, and I also hope to repay you, but I'm sorry, I have to leave this damn place immediately."]
["Allah is a kind and loving god. She should not bear such a stigma. After leaving here, I plan to spread Allah's teachings to the world as the Blood God's 'missionary', inform the world of the injustice she suffered, and vindicate Allah... Before that, I must ensure that I am alive." Catalina looked at you apologetically and said. ]
[It is obvious that Catalina has made up her mind to leave. ]
[Although you can't get Catalina's help, before she leaves, you may ask her to use her prophetic ability to help you predict the future. ]
[Let Catalina help you predict the future], [Unknown developments are more interesting].
There are two options. Mu You is not someone who deliberately seeks excitement, so he naturally chooses the first one.
[You asked Catalina to help you predict the future. ]
[Katerina didn't refuse. She let you stand in the light, and stepped back a few steps into the darkness. She was fully focused, and her eyes were like cat's eyes in the night, examining you from top to bottom...]
["...I saw...the pyramids...the stars...the rockets...the primitives...you took the blood of the regent..." After a moment, Catalina suddenly seemed to be possessed, and began to unconsciously utter words. ]
["...you found that thing...no! Don't touch it! Stop...the fire...the burning city...the lives are charred, and the land is full of misery...be careful!!!" Catalina suddenly screamed, the light in her eyes disappeared, her face turned pale, and she couldn't maintain her balance and fell backwards. ]
[You stepped forward in time and supported Catalina. ]
["I'm fine..." Catalina waved her hand with lingering fear, and looked at you apologetically: "Sorry, I can only see some scattered pictures..."]
[You curiously asked the other party, what did you see in the end that made you so scared? 】
【"I saw you, in a flame, with a man's arm piercing your chest..." said Catalina. 】
【"Who?" 】
【"It seems to be... Beverly..." 】
"That masked man?" Mu You frowned. Does this mean that he will die at the hands of the masked man in the future?
【"Who will be my future enemy?" you asked. 】
【"A lot! You will become the center, the center of everything. It seems that the vampires in the whole city are all madly chasing you..." Catalina said with some pain. 】
【"Then who are my friends? Is there anyone I can trust here?" you asked. 】
【"Unfortunately, no... Maybe there will be many people who are close to you and try to win you over on the surface, but they are all sweet-mouthed and treacherous, waiting to use you." Catalina shook her head. 】
【Finally, you asked Catalina if she had any advice for you. 】
【"Don't touch that thing! Absolutely not!"】
【"What is it?"】
【"I don't know... I can't see it. It's only a blur in my prediction, but I know that there is some evil thing that is tempting you to keep getting closer to it... Remember, at the last moment, don't be bewitched by it!" Catalina said seriously. 】
Mu You was helpless. It was uncomfortable to say such a half-spoken prophecy.
No matter what, he knew that there was a kind of "thing" that was very dangerous and needed special attention. In addition, there was the masked man. There might be a battle between him and the masked man. He died in the hands of the masked man in the end...
Fortunately, the prophecy was just a prophecy, not the real future, and he still had a chance to change it.
【You thanked Catalina and said goodbye to her. 】
【"I wish you peace. I hope we will have a chance to see each other again." Catalina bowed to you, took a last look at you, turned around and left the woods, and soon disappeared. 】
【You left the forest alone and returned to Chifeng Cemetery. 】
【The cemetery was still dark and silent, and there was no sign of any living person. 】
【You exude the energy of 'super sense', but you don't sense any stalkers nearby. 】
"Did that guy leave?"
Mu You exhaled. It's impossible to say that the masked man was killed by the ghosts last night. It can only be that the other party found out that he had lost him and knew that he couldn't come out in a short time, so he left here directly.
[You walked out of the cemetery. The streets were quiet. There was no car passing by. You could only walk home...]
[When you returned to the apartment again, it was already bright. ]
[You came to the second floor of the apartment and pushed the door to enter your room, but found a wide figure standing in the room, squeezing the already small room even smaller. ]
["Where did you go last night?" The masked man looked at you and asked. You chose...]
["It's hot, so I went out to get some fresh air." You answered. ]
["Go to the cemetery to get some fresh air?" The masked man sneered. ]
["Is there any place cooler than the cemetery?" You asked back. ]
["I told you not to be clever in front of me." The masked man's voice carried a hint of warning. ]
["What cleverness? You can't keep up, who can you blame?" You looked at each other fearlessly. ]
[The masked man frowned slightly, as if he didn't expect you to suddenly become tough. ]
Mu You was of course tough, and this was the confidence brought by strength.
Moreover, after knowing that he might die in the hands of this guy in the future, Mu You had nothing to say to the other party, so he just had to fight.
[The masked man looked at you carefully, and didn't say much about this matter, but walked to the door: "Let's go, the Regent summoned you."]
["What's the matter?" You asked. ]
[The masked man didn't answer, but looked at the sky outside the window: "It's almost dawn, if you don't want to be exposed to the sun, you'd better not dawdle."]
Mu You raised his eyebrows.
What he was waiting for was dawn. With the Blood God's ring in hand, his combat power during the day was enough to erase the gap in algebra.
Mu You was even considering whether to continue to delay and find a way to take the other party outside and kill him after sunrise.
The prophecy said that he would die in the hands of the other party, so as long as he killed the other party in advance, he could always change this ending, right?
But after a little hesitation, Mu You gave up this plan.
This person feels very sharp. If he deliberately delays time, the other party may realize it.
You only have one chance to use the sun to harm the opponent. Once you reveal your ability to not be afraid of the sun, the opponent will definitely be on guard. It is better to find a safer opportunity to take action.
[You silently followed the masked man and left the apartment. ]
[... You came to the Regent's commercial building and met the Regent again in the reception room on the top floor. ]
[The Regent in a suit and leather shoes walked towards you with a decent smile as before, looked you up and down, and clapped his hands: "You are worthy of being the person I am optimistic about. In just less than two days, you have promoted three generations by yourself. This is definitely the fastest record in this city!" ]
Mu You was slightly surprised. The other party must have known that he got rid of the masked man in the cemetery last night. He thought that the Regent would question him, but he didn't even mention it and smiled it off.
[After praising him, the Regent threw out the main topic of looking for you today: "So, after a night, have you thought it through? Are you willing to accept my bloodline?" ]
[The Regent said, took out a bottle of blood drops and put it on the table. 】
【"This is the blood of my heart. If you have made up your mind, take it." The Regent said in an unyielding tone. You choose...】
【Take the blood drop and show your loyalty to the Regent! 】
【Refuse to take it and say you haven't made a decision yet. 】
【Turn your face and jump out of the window to escape during the day. 】
From the meaning of the text here, the Regent seems to have planned to force him to stand on the side.
Mu You was a little surprised. With the elegant and generous personality of this Regent, he shouldn't lose his patience so quickly after just one night.
Combined with the previous prophecy that Catalina gave him, it was mentioned: 'You drank the Regent's heart blood', which should be referring to this.
Logically speaking, he would never really drink the Regent's heart blood, which would be equivalent to becoming the other party's slave, but in the predicted future, he drank it...
The combination of the two things made Mu You feel that this bottle of blood might not be as simple as it seemed.
After thinking about it, Mu You asked the character to look out the window.
[You look toward the window. The gentle morning sun has just appeared. The first rays of morning sun shine on the streets of this city...]
The sun has come out, so Mu You has nothing to be afraid of. Drink it first to see what's wrong with this blood. If it's really the blood of the heart, at worst you can turn your back and run away.
[You tell the Regent that you have figured it out and are willing to surrender. ]
[Under the Regent's expectant gaze, you pick up the blood bottle on the table and drink it up without hesitation. ]
[The sweet blood slightly relieves your blood hunger symptoms, but you don't feel any energy from the blood - it seems to be just a drop of ordinary human blood. ]
[You look at the Regent in confusion. 】
【The Regent has already clapped his hands and walked towards you: "Very good, my child, you have fully proved your sincerity!"】
【"As for this drop of blood, don't be surprised, it's just a drop of mortal blood. I'm sorry to test you. I really have to leave the next thing to my true confidant. If you don't prove yourself, I can't open my heart to you." The Regent walked up to you with a smile and patted your shoulder: "But now, I'm sure you are one of us."】
"It's just a test..."
Mu You raised his eyebrows. Of course, it was a test because he had a pocket watch. In fact, it was a gamble of his future, which most people would not dare to bet on.
From the other party's perspective, he dared to drink it without hesitation, which could only prove that he had surrendered sincerely.
[The Regent warmly invited you to sit down at the table and talked to you about business. ]
["Have you heard of 'Tutankar'?" The Regent asked. ]
[You shook your head to indicate that you didn't know. 】
【"'Tutankara', also known as the 'Plague Coffin', is a coffin for storing mummies. Legend has it that it contains the ancient Egyptian pharaoh 'Plague King'. Before his death, the Plague King contracted a terrible disease that was highly contagious and could easily destroy a clan. The pharaoh did not want his people to be engulfed by the disease, so he was willing to die and sealed his remains and diseases in the coffin, buried deep under the pyramid, thus avoiding a catastrophe..."】
【"But now, 'Tutankara' has been dug out by someone and sent to the City of Enoch. According to reliable information, this thing is now controlled by Mansur, the leader of the Reformer Clan."】
【"Once this thing is opened, it will turn the city into a hotbed of plague, and the consequences will be disastrous!"】
【You look at the Regent in confusion. Vampires are all immortal. With the recovery of vampires, will they be affected by the plague? 】
【"Vampires are naturally not afraid of plagues, but humans cannot withstand such plagues. Once humans die on a large scale, we will lose our food source and starve to death." The regent explained. 】
【"So, this coffin in the City of Enoch is like a nuclear weapon. Its deterrent effect is more important than its actual killing. Whoever controls this coffin controls the right to speak." 】
【"You also know that the reformers have always wanted to overthrow our rule. Before, they were few in number and could not form any climate, but now, they have gradually gained momentum, and with the acquisition of Tutankar, they have become a huge threat to us. We must stop them before they attack!" 】
【The regent looked at you eagerly: "Now, I have found out the specific storage location of Tutankar , I need someone to steal it back and then destroy it to avoid this catastrophe. ”]
【“Unfortunately, Mansur has a very good nose. He can recognize the smells of all three upper clans from a long distance. Therefore, this task can only be done by you who have not yet officially joined us. But remember, never try to destroy or open Tutankara. It is too dangerous. You must bring it back to me intact. I will call professionals to destroy it with professional means!”]
Mu You understood when he saw this. No wonder he had to use fake blood to test him. It turned out that he still needed to keep his blood pure to do things.
“The Plague Coffin…”
Mu You looked at the text introducing Tutankara above, and immediately thought of Catalina’s warning, telling him not to touch something. Could it be this coffin?
