Chapter 135 Master and Disciple's Joint Performance of Soul Crossing (Two in One)
"Dead...dead?"
Everyone looked at Northrend's disappeared head, the blood gushing all over the ground, and the clown pattern that appeared again, and they couldn't help but fall into silence.
The clue was interrupted again.
Unexpectedly, Northrend's death would come so suddenly and without any warning.
He hadn't even said the information yet, but he encountered an accident.
Chen Ye, Chen Xi and Bai Chen kept a calm look on their faces, as if they had expected this scene.
In the game "Weird Era", some features have appeared that can restrict subordinates from saying taboo content.
However, the blood splashed when Northrend died gathered into a clown pattern, which seemed to indicate that the mastermind behind the scenes had obviously anticipated today's situation.
The real enemy is still unknown, but the unknown mysterious existence has quietly mixed into the player group, lurking in the deepest part, quietly staring at everyone.
Player? Aboriginal? Or an extraordinary existence?
No one knows the answer...
In the silence, Bai Chen spoke first, breaking the silent atmosphere:
"Alas, I didn't have any expectations. Look at this guy who is unwilling to speak even if he dies. Obviously, it's useless even if he speaks."
"What should we do now?" Matthew frowned, "There are perverted villains among the players who enjoy destroying other players?"
Bai Chen smiled and asked back:
"Do you think that the current players can really gain this level of power with such a short period of time?"
Matthew was stunned, then his eyes sank and fell into deep thought.
Chenxi took a deep breath, looked at Bai Chen and said:
"At this point, if you know something, don't hide it."
"This matter is very serious. I'm afraid it has affected the life and death of all our players!"
"What other information do you know?"
Bai Chen smiled, and his right hand wearing a white glove pointed to the second rule on the notice board with his index finger.
"Exchange information?" Chenxi's eyes moved slightly, "What do you want to know?"
"The Thirteenth Chapter of Soul Crossing." Bai Chen said.
As soon as the voice fell, Chenxi and Chen Ye raised their heads at the same time and looked at Bai Chen.
This guy... Why is he also interested in the Thirteenth Chapter of Soul Crossing?
At this time, the old man Erhu said faintly:
"In fact, even if a person is dead, he may not be unable to speak... For example, the scroll that this boss just robbed has the ability to make the dead speak."
"So, even if that guy is dead, if he can get the power in it, he may not be unable to make the dead speak and tell the relevant information."
"It's just that... It is said that this is the last piece of music that has never been played, and it has this ability."
The moment the old man Erhu finished speaking...
Everyone present turned their heads almost at the same time, including the players and the clergy members of the Lieyang Church.
"How did you know?"
The priest suddenly stood up, stared at the old man Erhu, and asked hoarsely.
There seems to be no record of this person in the church...
However, "Soul Crossing Chapter 13" is the core of the church, and the scroll of the final chapter involves deep secrets.
Not to mention the priests, even if they reach the level of bishops, they may not know the hidden secrets.
This old man who came from nowhere on the roadside actually casually revealed the top secrets of the Lieyang Church?
What is his origin?
The old man Erhu looked calm and his tone was slightly innocent:
"Hey, young man, why are you so excited?"
"I am an old man who has lived a long time and wandered a lot, so naturally I have a little more experience."
"Is it strange to know this?"
Chenxi couldn't help showing a strange look. In fact, the "young man" mentioned by the old man Erhu is already a priest who is over 200 years old.
In the normal world before the advent, turtles may not live that long, and they are considered living fossils in the church.
But in the mouth of the old man Erhu, it has become a "young man"?
For some reason, when the erhu master started to speak, Chen Yu glanced at Bai Chen and found that his absent-minded expression had become more focused.
He saw that the pair of hands in white gloves had changed from being crossed over the chest to being put in the pockets.
It seemed that he was still shaking slightly.
After a while.
Bai Chen smiled, took out the scroll of "Soul Crossing Chapter 13" from his pocket, and placed it in front of Chen Xi:
"In fact, I am only interested in this case itself. As for this thing, it is your Fiery Sun Church's thing, and it is useless to me."
"But..."
"I have been interrogating for you for so long, of course I can't work in vain."
"In exchange, I need a low-sequence characteristic item of the [Fiery Sun] sequence, and information about "Soul Crossing Chapter 13."
"Don't get me wrong, I need this information, but I have some guesses."
A priest of light couldn't stand it at all, and shouted at Bai Chen:
"You devil, this sacred scroll is originally our church's thing..."
At this moment, a cold breath suddenly enveloped the priest.
The ground under his feet was suddenly covered by a black shadow.
The lights around dimmed, and the huge black shadow covered the entire coffee shop, like the shadow of a demon, slowly extending, projecting a huge curtain on the wall and the ground, dancing wildly.
The pastor was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt a crisis of death. He swallowed the rest of the rebuke immediately, his face was covered with cold sweat, and his expression was as if his fate was strangled.
Bai Chen's indifferent eyes swept over the pastor's body, and said lightly:
"In my coffee shop, it's best to be quiet and don't disturb other guests who are drinking coffee normally."
"This is polite!"
Chenxi raised his hand, signaling the pastor to calm down, and then his eyes fell on Bai Chen, saying:
"I can agree to your conditions."
After all, at this juncture, he is still facing unknown enemies in the dark.
It is not a wise move to conflict with a leaderboard master who may have secret information.
Especially now that everyone is still on the other's territory!
"You should learn from your saint."
Bai Chen raised his lips and smiled, then retracted the black shadow.
"When your boss is negotiating, as a qualified subordinate, you should learn to keep your mouth shut!"
The priest slumped on the ground, trembling slightly, and dared not say another word.
Soon.
Chen Xi handed over a silver holy sword.
This was the characteristic item dropped when the [Light Warriors] died in the copy of the Bloody Building not long ago.
The warriors and priests of the light sequence are all first-turn professions. The characteristic items dropped from them are mass-produced items in the Fiery Sun Church and are not very valuable.
What Bai Chen needs are only the low-characteristic items of the [Fiery Sun] sequence.
These silver swords and Bible books were originally required to be handed over to the Fiery Sun Church, but Chen Xi, as the main leader of this battle, has the identity of a saint and has certain rights to dispose of these characteristic items.
Afterwards. Chenxi recalled the knowledge about "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing", organized some words in his mind, and began to narrate:
"Originally, "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing" only had twelve chapters. It is said that it was the "Spirit Chapter" created by Forrest, who adapted the Bible that guides the world into art music and produced twelve different scores, which have been passed down to this day."
"The [Fiery Sun] sequence of the Art Department can be played through the scores left by Forrest, through different instruments, to communicate with our Lord and obtain the power bestowed by [Fiery Sun]."
"But the previous legendary bishop, von Lucius, modified the "Spirit Chapter" during a disaster in the Fiery Sun Church and added the last thirteenth chapter."
"The original main theme of the twelve chapters was also modified, and it seemed to have gained an unknown, mysterious, and transcendent power!"
"With the help of this power, the Fiery Sun Church successfully survived that disaster, and Lucius became the most outstanding bishop in hundreds of years."
"From then on, he modified the "Spirit Chapter" to " "Soul Crossing Chapter 13". "
"It's just that... Chapter 13 seems to contain a transcendent and uncontrollable power."
"During Lucius's tenure, no church member was allowed to touch the content of the final chapter rashly."
"After his death, several bishops tried to obtain the power in it and perform. "
"The result..."
"They all went crazy without exception!"
At this point, the priest standing behind Chenxi said coldly:
"Devil, I advise you to stay away from this power. As a dangerous item that the Lieyang Church has not yet controlled, you will only play with fire and burn yourself if you touch it rashly."
"So scary!"
Bai Chen exclaimed slightly exaggeratedly, pulled out the scroll, and threw it to Chenxi:
"Since this thing is so dangerous, I'll give it back to you."
"Okay, it's my turn to reveal a piece of information."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen carefully. Do you feel that there are too many coincidences in this city, and the sense of déjà vu that often appears during the performance process?"
Sense of déjà vu?
As soon as the voice fell, Chen Ye, Chen Xi, Matthew and other players all bowed their heads and thought at the same time.
To be honest, after coming to this world, I often have a sense of déjà vu.
For example, when I meet certain people, or when I feel digested during the role-playing process...
There is an inexplicable sense of déjà vu!
It's as if... this thing has already happened a long time ago.
"Playing?"
Chen Ye closed his eyes and began to recall the scenes after his arrival.
Indeed, in every role-playing, the feeling of digestion is as if I have already mastered the corresponding skills and suddenly became handy.
But why do similar abilities appear?
This is not as simple as a characteristic, it's as if I use this power instinctively from the soul, as if I am born familiar with it.
Chen Xi, Matthew and others also recalled the process of role-playing, and nodded one after another, indicating that they have similar feelings.
And there is... coincidence!
That's right.
There are indeed too many coincidences in this city.
Chen Ye found that the characteristic items he found seemed to be more or less effective.
Otherwise...
Then we will find out that there are hidden effects later.
Moreover, this coincidence didn't just happen to him. For example, when Northrend was escaping, he actually appeared at the door of Bai Chen's cafe.
This may not be a coincidence.
Including Chen Xi also said that when he was exploring, he seemed to easily encounter some pollution, thus exerting his purification ability.
It was as if there was a divine hand from the sky, turning into help and pushing everyone forward.
"What does the value of the weird value mean in reality?"
Chen Ye suddenly started thinking about this problem.
Originally, in general, the higher the value in a game, the stronger it would be.
But this is contrary to the core gameplay of "Strange Era".
After all, in the original gameplay, you collect characteristics to change professions. The higher the profession, the stronger the corresponding abilities.
At present, it seems that the weirdness value can increase the understanding and use skills of professional characteristics in the role, as well as increase certain characteristics, reaching the upper limit.
Here comes the strange place...
To put it in a simple way, the weird value can actually improve the player's operation?
Shouldn't the operation belong to the player? How can it improve with the game?
Even if it reaches the "upper limit", this is the ability that this characteristic should have.
At the beginning, Chen Ye thought this was the deepening influence of the weird value on the performance, but now, he gradually began to try to understand its true meaning.
"What else do you know?"
Chen Xi raised her head, looked at Bai Chen and asked seriously.
"No more." Bai Chen shrugged, "Like you, I have just come into this world, but I have thought a little more and investigated a little deeper. Don't treat me as an omniscient and omnipotent existence."
"It's a pity this guy can't talk."
Matthew glanced at Northrend's body with a little regret:
"If we can get specific information from him, it should be much simpler."
At this moment, a voice came from the side:
"Who says he can't talk?"
Everyone turned around and found that the person who said this was none other than the old man Erhu.
Matthew frowned: "But he is already dead. How can a dead man talk... Unless someone can pop up the final chapter."
"Haha, young man, you are right." The old man Erhu said with a smile, "Old man, I happen to still have some skills. Although I am old and my hands are rusty, there should not be a big problem in popping up the final chapter."
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and looked at the old man Erhu with eyes full of surprise, shock and deep disbelief.
"Are you kidding me!"
The priest of light stood up and laughed angrily.
Today, everyone is defying the authority of the church!
First, a [Devil] appeared on the way and snatched away the scroll of the Holy Religion, and then an old man on the roadside came from nowhere and uttered wild words, saying that he could play the final chapter that would make even the bishop lose control...
Chen Xi looked at the old man Erhu with slight surprise, and then his eyes fell on Chen Ye...
Chen Ye stretched out his hand, looked at Chen Xi and said:
"According to the agreement, after completing this mission, I should be granted permission to read the final chapter."
"give it to me."
That tone was full of confidence.
To be more precise...
It seems that the top expert in front of him has full confidence in the mysterious master behind him!
Chen Xi pondered for a moment and realized that this might be the only chance to get closer to the truth!
All the fate seemed to be connected to the scene in front of me.
Then, Chen Xi had no doubt that the old man could play the final chapter.
She no longer hesitated and handed the "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing" she had just received from Bai Chen to Chen Ye.
Chen Ye held the scroll in his hand and slowly spread it out in front of him.
Although the notes in the previous twelve chapters are not complete, they are roughly the same as the notes seen in the public gallery of the church that day.
However……
Gradually turning to the page of the final chapter...
The ink symbols on it seemed to be twisting chaotically in the field of vision.
Even looking directly at it will make you feel dizzy, as if your self-awareness is slowly dissolving.
Any music score constitutes a chaotic picture, like a black mosaic. It is difficult to see the specific position of the notes, the direction of the music score, and the rhythm and melody contained in it...
If you focus your attention and look again, you will feel like you are going crazy.
At this moment, the gentle voice of the old man Erhu came from next to him:
"Don't be so anxious. You need a strange drink to calm your mind and bring your body and mind to the best state so that you can perform a special performance."
Chen Ye's mind gradually separated from the chaotic music score.
From the words of the old man Erhu, he immediately realized what he needed to do.
The next second.
Chen Ye took out the mountain roll and took out the cup of [Bloody Mary] he had stored.
"oh!"
Bai Chen pointed at the drink in a pretentious manner and smiled proudly:
"Let me just say, I am the protagonist. Look, my items always come into play at the most critical moments!"
Chen Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly.
It seems that in front of him, more than one player said that he is the protagonist...
He took out the scarlet glass and saw the colored glass lines in the glass, which connected to the "Thirteenth Chapter of Soul Crossing" in front of him, the purple air in the halo of the erhu old man beside him, and his own golden star.
It's time to swallow this deadly drink!
Chen Ye no longer hesitated and immediately drank the [Bloody Mary] in the glass.
When the scarlet wine entered his mouth, a spicy feeling went down his throat, as if the entire esophagus, connected to the stomach, began to burn!
At that moment, Chen Ye felt dizzy and there seemed to be crazy whispers in his ears, surrounding all directions, and making a roar that was almost deafening...
The moment he opened his eyes again...
In front of his vision, the ink mosaic covering the final volume of "Thirteenth Chapter of Soul Crossing" disappeared!
On the score, the inky notes became clearer, and their positions on the score could be seen, and the direction of the melody could be seen...
That score was not made for "people" at all, as if it was specially played for the existence above heaven, and for the dead in the underworld...
This song was conscientiously customized for the "dead"!
The outlines of the gray air masses around no longer appeared as blurred garbled codes, but gradually outlined human faces, including men, women, old people, and children...
Their numb faces suddenly revealed a few traces of surprise, and with Chen Ye and the old man playing the erhu as the center, they turned into a gray vortex and surrounded them, standing together around them, forming a circle, like the audience who were about to enjoy a concert.
Chen Xi and others looked at each other, and they all felt the temperature of the coffee shop, as if it had suddenly become several degrees colder.
Bai Chen's mouth curled up slightly:
"Next, it seems that a good show is about to begin!"
At this moment, Chen Ye took out the suona, and the old man playing the erhu took out the erhu.
In the vortex storm formed by the souls of the dead, the master and disciple began to play the final chapter of this soul-ferrying song!
