Chapter 422 The Priest at the Crossroads
Three big things have happened in "Endless Corridor" in the past six months.
The first one was that a strange guy killed a world-class BOSS in a certain world before he reached level 60. Although some said it was a trick by a fraud group, some people still believed it.
The second incident was that a large guild in the "Endless Corridor" was wiped out. It was the work of another large guild, "Wrath of Bahamut". The leader of the guild, Lilian, received a bunch of un"activated" items in that death battle. The world war brand.
The third incident was the player competition. [Critical One] Croyd was killed, and the "Wrath of Bahamut" was inexplicably deflated. It was said to be a trick carried out by a fraud group, but... not many people believed it this time anyway.
The above three things do not seem to have much to do with this script...
In fact, it is secretly connected to the fate of many people.
After Lilian thought she couldn't get the [Rescuer], she secretly decided to be cruel and spread her name everywhere.
The president of the conference originally searched for [Identity Holders] everywhere for the "World War". The most useful [Rescuer] who was disturbed by Li Nuo was gone, and he finally gave up on himself...
Who knew that the brand was in Li Nuo's hands...
In addition, there is another sign that fell into the hands of Amanda and Safa.
The brand of World War is randomly determined. If the player performs well in that script, he will be selected. It just so happens that in a certain script, the tragedy of the little person comes...
"Endless Corridor".
"Jack's Clothing Agency".
A somewhat famous team, their captain Saburo Fukushima wielded a girl's sword as a man, leaving many people with a psychological shadow comparable to nuclear pollution.
In a certain script, they also got the tag... In that script, they fought the most beautiful battle of their lives.
Then these guys were selected to participate in the Five Corridors World War.
"Hahaha, we are just candidates and there is no way we can actually participate."
Saburo Fukushima comforted his companions like this.
Then……
Amanda suggested to Safa the idea of not participating in the World War because she had peeked at Li Nuo's abilities. It happened that Safa had an alliance with Sauron and had heard about the cruelty (bastards) of the [Remnant Blooded Ones]. In order to protect her own The team, Shafa made an impromptu decision and withdrew from the competition.
Then, "Jack Clothing Agency" was chosen.
The life trajectory of little people is unknowingly pinched and rubbed by those in high positions, which is also a part of fate.
"Hahaha, we are pretty good, at least in the 'Endless Corridor'."
Saburo Fukushima comforted his teammates like this.
"Endless Corridor" is a decent player, but for "Sora" and "Endgame" it's bullshit.
Rick finally understood the meaning of this sentence. He once encountered an intruder from the "Corridor of the Sky" who was kind-hearted and did not kill him. He only left the above sentence and left.
He limped out of the alley and looked around on the street precariously, hoping to find the police or even a gangster.
Rick is an elf, good at magic, and has outstanding perception. He is very aware that there are people around him who are stronger than him.
"Where are the people...ah..."
Saburo Fukushima died, and everyone died and dispersed.
They encountered a group of players from the "Corridor of the Sky" and were beaten to the point of losing their humanity. They were helpless as if they were a group of first-grade elementary school students who had entered a school for the mentally retarded with an average age of fourteen.
"..."
Rick also held a white flag in his hand. According to the system regulations, you can surrender by raising the white flag, as long as the other party is willing to accept your surrender...
Snapped……
There were footsteps behind me.
My heart skipped a beat.
"found it."
Still chasing him.
Although there was only one person, that person had brown hair and was wearing a brown casual suit.
The player of "Corridor of the Sky" is named Gamak.
Gamak looked at the back of his prey and picked up his phone calmly.
"I found it, and I'll kill it. Is that okay with me?"
"Okay, okay, I'll share some of the rewards with you when the time comes."
"Huh? Capture him alive? Forget it, he is quite capable. I am cautious and don't want to overturn the situation."
Rick had mixed feelings, just listening to other people's unscrupulous and indifferent teasing... life seemed to have become the price of the vegetable market.
Gamak hung up the phone, his smile immediately disappeared, and his fingertips slightly touched the ground.
Gravity magic!
Within five meters, gravity doubles.
Rick was injured and had no choice but to stop.
Rick said: "Hey... man..."
"You don't have to make a deal with me." Gamak interrupted Rick and said, "I don't like it, I just want to kill you."
"No..." Rick shook his head and said with a smile: "I mean, man, it's not bad to think about being able to cripple one before you die."
After that, a black ball appeared between Rick's fingers. It was also a type of gravity magic, the kind of magic that could crush the opponent into a patty.
Gamak raised his eyebrows, looking contemptuous.
His eyes have a passive skill:
【Gambling Eye】
[Effect: The negative rate of the left eye, the negative rate of the right eye is modified, and half of the magic power can be consumed to modify the probability of victory or defeat]
As long as this ability is not in an almost certain death situation, the winning or losing rate can be modified. After modification, some accidents will usually occur and the disadvantage will be turned into an advantage.
Therefore, in games that start at 50-50, Gamak is always sure to win.
Facing Rick, the probability of failure reported by his left eye is: 12%.
A sure win.
This answer made Gamak unhappy and did not understand.
"Too weak..."
The second strongest player in their team is committed to finding trouble with the "Endless Corridor" just to prove that he has surpassed the guy named Brupu.
Gamack thinks that if you want to prove that you are stronger, just fight Brupu directly, there is no need to take a detour.
What's more, the ability displayed by the "Endless Corridor" is... simply a disaster.
"With your level, the team participating with you is not much stronger in theory..."
The two teams participating in the same corridor are judged to have similar strengths, and there are exceptions, but it has been half a year since Brupu was defeated...
Half a year is enough for the strength to be upgraded and the distance to be widened.
Rick sighed.
"Let's... change places..."
There are passers-by here, and Rick doesn't want to die and drag down innocent people.
Gamack doesn't care, he has a way to isolate the noise around him.
Dinglingling~
The bicycle broke into Gamack's sight.
"Hey...?"
Gamack frowned, his heartbeat paused, and his body suddenly trembled involuntarily.
[Eye of Gambling] gives a judgment.
Win rate: 0.
Reset.
Win rate: 1%.
The bicycle stopped on the side of the road, the rider got off clumsily, and the woman in the bicycle showed her graceful curves behind the street lamp. The two of them were like a couple who had just watched a movie, slow and leisurely.
Gamack took a deep breath, fear spread to the gyrus, and his instinct told him to run.
He believed in his instinct and the judgment of [Eye of Gambling], and silently activated the escape magic [Return to the City] that everyone in their team had, and disappeared in less than a blink of an eye.
Rick didn't understand what was going on.
From the time he said "change place" to the time Gamack disappeared, less than three seconds had passed.
Rick thought that Gamak was going to play some tricks, so he took a deep breath and opened a [Stand-in]. As a result, the [Stand-in] went back as soon as it came out... It was scared back...
Then, he heard a voice behind him...
Cha Bai: "I said to use [Magic Suppression], and it scared away."
Li Nuo: "I locked the bike!"
Cha Bai: "Smell it to see if there is any smell left. Let's find them and kill them all."
Li Nuo: "No need. There is no reward for killing one or two. Save them for the next mission point and maybe you can get unexpected benefits."
Cha Bai: "Then why don't you find their lair and tie them up first?"
Li Nuo: "...Please spare me. I don't want to fight a team battle with the 'Sky Corridor' with enemies from all sides."
Li Nuo locked the bike and came from behind.
Rick turned his back to them, staring wide-eyed, not daring to breathe. There can only be one reason why the [Stand-in] ran back by itself, that there is one or more extremely powerful things nearby.
He had just run out for two steps when he was hooked by the shoulder and pressed to the ground.
"Don't run, fellow villager."
Li Nuo pressed his face from the side.
Rick breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was someone from his own corridor.
"If you run again, I'll kill you."
Li Nuo suddenly changed the subject, shocking Rick to nod wildly.
"How many are still alive?"
"Four, including me."
"Male?"
"Hmm..."
Rick's first thought was, this guy wouldn't want to recruit female team members...
Li Nuo thought, they were all men... they could be handed over to Soren for training...
"Tell me what happened."
Cha Bai put the bicycle in a position that would not affect pedestrians. Although there were no pedestrians now, she had the qualities... and then came over.
During this period, Rick described what happened clearly.
Their team was a group of newspaper reporters. They had not even warmed up when they received the mission. There were mafia fights in several corners of the block, which were actually caused by those groups of players.
So, Rick and his team found an area closest to them.
——Alien Research Office
"It is said that there is a cult base that no one cares about... and it is in the city center, so even if something unexpected happens, we will not be isolated and helpless."
Rick said it, Li Nuo agreed.
Cha Bai felt that Rick and his team were pitiful. It would be bad to get on with anyone, but we had to.
As expected, as expected.
A group of players from the "Sky Corridor" came over like a dog's nose, and the first thing they said was "Do you know the person who beat Brupu?"
Rick's team leader, Mr. Fukushima Saburo, of course shook his head.
Then they said again: "I don't know him, then go to hell."
Li Nuo was shocked...
"Then you were beaten by a group of guys from the "Sky Corridor" from morning to night..."
Rick nodded.
Cha Bai touched his forehead and felt it was so magical... How could there be such a cowardly team...
She tapped Li Nuo's shoulder: "But he said Brupu..."
Li Nuo: "Don't worry about it for now."
[Weapon Box] The one-hour interrogation time is up.
Li Nuo laid the black coffin horizontally on the ground, sat on it, and opened a small window on the lid.
Mikram's face was exposed to the night sky again, his eyes were empty, as if he had been played with steel wool by a group of eighty-year-old grandmothers for 7749 days.
"Meeting."
Cha Bai pulled out his left hand, used his floating hand as a projector to contact Maljie, and held up a light screen in his palm.
Maljie had just finished discussing the cooperation order with the brothel owner and was sitting on the sofa in the upstairs room, holding medicinal wine in his hand.
The woman who was crippled by his cannon was lying on the bed in the room.
Under the streetlight.
The edge of the intersection.
Li Nuo knocked on the weapon box, and Mikram lying inside revealed everything he knew.
Pesca, the leader of the "Church of the Undead", claims to be cursed, and his body will age and his lifespan will remain endless. The final result will be a living corpse.
Although he made a low-quality "Wine of Immortality" that could restore the vitality of flesh and blood, Pesca's greed was extremely high, so the old guy summoned the devil again decades ago, but that time he deceived "Castlevania" 》Monsters from the world view were summoned.
Later, they didn’t know what agreement they reached. Anyway, the final answer was that they needed to sacrifice strong men from other worlds.
Li Nuo knew very well that the strong man from another world generally referred to the player.
"How many strong men from another world are needed?"
Mikram said like a robot:
"At least a hundred, the more the better... We have killed enough, but it is not enough. The priest said that they (players) will continue to appear. Don't let these guys ruin the ceremony."
System sounds appear with the panel:
[Get key information: The ritual to destroy the Church of the Undead]
[Get key information: Players are prey]
Li Nuo's pupils turned. At least more than a hundred players died in this script.
It’s not necessarily all done by the cleaners.
He thought of the group of mafiosi he met at the beginning. The bullets in their guns were specially developed and could scratch the pale skin with blood. By analogy, the firepower of this group of cults was extremely terrifying, which also showed that In this script, the upper limit of the indigenous people's strength is extremely high, and the difficulty of the script is also quite high...
"Then what, after the sacrifice?"
"Summon the devil... Summon the devil..."
Mikram was stuck, which meant that he didn't know what would happen next. Li Nuo and Chabai looked at each other and had the same mind... The cleaners were only responsible for doing the dirty work, and the priests above them should be the ones planning everything.
"Tell me your plan."
"Tomorrow morning, we will go to the station and go to Fort Green. On the way, we will complete the ceremony in the car."
On the other side of the light screen, Marger listened, his eyes deep, and because of the girly manga style, stars were shining in front of his eyes.
"Hey, those guys..."
He asked Li Nuo to think carefully about the place "Greenburg".
Li Nuo nodded.
The guys in the office who evolved from mechanical life forms said that when they sneaked into the Church of the Undead's territory to steal things, they heard that the cultists planned to take the train to "Greenburg" in large numbers.
"When to set off?"
"tomorrow morning……"
[Get key information: Take the morning train from Malu City to Greenburg]
[Three key pieces of information have been obtained. The mission can be updated. After the update, everyone in your team will be protected. Players can no longer find your location, but you can no longer approach other players. Do you want to update now? 】
[Tip: After the update, the specific content of the work task (preaching) will be randomized]
"no."
The meaning of this message is... If you find it too troublesome or don't want to be involved in any more dangers, just ask the system to determine your personal work tasks as soon as possible. If you want to delve deeper, just wait.
Neither Li Nuo nor Marjie wanted to leave their fate to the system. They had to resist for a while before accepting the rape.
"Okay, last question."
Li Nuo stared at Mikram in the weapon box.
"How could you kill Pesca?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mikram's face suddenly began to twist.
Cha Bai said coldly: "I'm cursed and can't say things I shouldn't say."
Li Nuo touched his chin and asked again: "Why do you have to choose the train bound for Greenburg tomorrow morning as the ceremony venue?"
"Ah..." Mikram suddenly began to moan: "Ah...!"
Cha Bai reminded: "He is going to blow himself up."
Li Nuo pulled out his pistol, quickly installed the silencer, and immediately reached out to hold down Mikram's split face, turning on the [Seal of Arden] to control his soul.
He thrust the muzzle of the gun into Mikram's pupils, which shrank in pain.
Crazy pull the trigger!
Warm blood spattered and dyed Li Nuo's face red.
A golden light dust flew out from Mikram's body and gathered into the shape of a key.
Cha Bai stretched out his hand to hold it.
[Obtained "The Hell Switch Key of the Undead"]
[After boarding the train, you will be given tips on how to use it. It is a must-have for players who want to continue the world war... mission props and cannot be taken out of the script]
[The second step of missionary work, finding the correct way to board the train, has been completed]
Cha Bai: "Given..."
Li Nuo suddenly covered her mouth.
[Task reward: 20,000 experience points, each player receives a random weapon card*1]
"call……"
Li Nuo took away his hand and let Chabai's mouth return to freedom.
Cha Bai frowned in confusion: "Why are you covering my mouth..."
Li Nuo said: "We have no shortage of channels to obtain experience points. Don't use (Focusers) to attract hatred. We have other things to do."
Cha Bai: "Something else?"
Li Nuo said "hmm" and looked at the reward panel.
The requirement of this mission is to defeat the Cleaner to obtain the "secret key" to unlock the next mission, which is the [Undead Hell Switch Key].
As for the other rewards, Li Nuo was not in a hurry to look at them. There were more important things at the moment, which was also the answer he got after interrogating Mikram.
"Pesca can be killed."
…
National borders.
Inside the prison, the door to the interrogation room opened.
Grove walked into the room, took off his hat, and looked directly at the old man who was sitting in the room and waiting for him.
"You're getting old again, Mr. Pesca."
Pesca, the aging leader of the cult, looked at Grove with an expressionless face, as if his facial muscles were frozen.
"You're welcome and safe..."
"Yes, the last time we met was twenty years ago, right?"
Grove sat across from him.
Pesca's pupils turned upward, looking at the fan on the ceiling, and memories came to the past.
"The last time we met...you took me into this cell...hahaha...how are you doing now?"
"Now?"
"I heard that you became the new mayor of Malu City."
"Even in prison, you are still well informed."
Groff's voice was calm and he was hiding his sword secretly.
Pesca shook his head.
"This is just a way for religious leaders to control believers, a very basic method."
"Mr. Pesca, I have a favor to ask of you."
After Grover said this, the room became quiet.
The sound of the fan amplifies...
Pesca asked:
"A request from an enemy?"
Grove said:
"A commission from an old friend."
"Please say."
"Let you disguise yourself as mafia believers and withdraw from Malu City."
"I never cared about what they were going to do."
"If you don't agree, I can only take strong measures." Grove said in a threatening tone: "This is an exchange. I have the connections to help you get out of prison as soon as possible..."
"Threatening me?" Pesca interrupted the other person's words and said: "If you don't agree, what are you going to do? Kill me? Use me for experiments? Torture? Haha, hahahahaha..."
His laughter was like the sound of bubbles after slitting his throat, dry and hoarse, making him sound restless.
Grover didn't find it funny: "Aren't people who are looking for eternal life afraid of death?"
The corners of Pesca's mouth raised slightly:
"No one can kill me."
…
After Li Nuo said "Pesca can be killed"... silence fell for about ten seconds.
In the black clinic where Marjie was located, the woman lying on the bed suddenly shouted: "I know the location of the leader's body."
"What do you mean?" Marger asked.
"I am the herald, also called the singing officer. I am a vampire. I am responsible for contacting the leader and controlling the believers remotely. This also includes the work of announcing the leader's great achievements."
The woman was tied to the bed, her body was covered with bandages, and her body was as deep as a mountain and deep in the valley.
"The leader is not immortal. He has a real body somewhere else. Only our singing organ can find it."
Marger was silent for a few seconds.
"Old Wei."
Mr. Victor took out the lie detector needle.
"What I said is true!" the woman shouted: "The leader can communicate with us at any time, but I have been disabled by you! I have temporarily lost the ability to communicate!"
Marjie: "..."
He then considered whether to let Li Nuo come over. When it came to attacking women, he was not as ruthless as Li Nuo.
"Really...I'm really telling the truth."
The woman screamed hoarse.
"The true body of the leader is sealed somewhere, and I can sense the general direction. You see, if I say that these things are not affected by the curse and explode, it means that I have been temporarily cut off from contact. Before the body is fully repaired, The curse inside the body will not trigger."
The so-called "blessing" of the Church of the Immortal is actually an imitation of the wine of eternal life. Believers with a high degree of contribution drink relatively pure wine.
That imitation contains a curse potion made of alchemy inside, and it will self-destruct if you say something you shouldn't say.
Just like Mikram did just now.
"As long as you keep destroying me and cutting me, I won't be able to repair it!"
"How could Pesca let his position be exposed so easily? The seal position is very dangerous." Marger tilted his head and finally asked what he wanted to ask: "What are you trying to do?"
The woman's beautiful eyes are full of emotion: "Can I be your woman?"
Achievement: Marger's Harem +1
[Side mission has been triggered: Kill Pesca]
[Task difficulty: lv99]
[Mission details: Pesca has placed a blessing point hiding signs of life in a certain area of the country. His true body is also there, but the journey is very dangerous]
[Task reward: 200,000 experience points, gold coin card*1, "High-dimensional Demon Summoning Alchemy", Philosopher's Stone fragments]
[Tip: This mission coincides with the Player World War mission]
Li Nuo received the task prompt.
He stood up and looked at Rick, who had been silent.
"How many people in your team are still alive?"
"Four."
The priest gently patted Rick's shoulder at the crossroads, smiling at the person in front of him just like the devil at the crossroads.
"Go and kill Pesca."
