Chapter 46: The Truth Behind the Truth
Wu Xiaofang's sneer couldn't hold back for a long time: "There are quite a lot of things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Don't worry, let's go back to the statue and have a look."
"It's a big deal to go back to the mysterious merchant next time, but I still want to bring the equipment back in the package to clear the points." Wu Xiao sighed and returned to the topic, "I think the statue is likely to be the god himself...... But it doesn't make sense in theory, what do you think? β
"The possibility of a Buddha-figure is infinitely approaching zero, after all, the power of a true god is not something that can be countered by just a few or dozens of humans. You've seen the Dark Elemental God before, right? You should have an understanding of the power of the gods. β
"So what exactly is a statue? A doppelganger of a god? Or a pretended god? β
"It's impossible to pretend, I think the doppelganger you said is more likely, just look at it."
It's still very fast to return the same way.
However, the two of them looked at the beautiful white body and looked at each other a little.
"Are you going to destroy it? ......" Wuxiao was very uncertain.
"I think that's the only way to do it right now." The waves were also extremely shaken, "But it's a pity...... Are you coming or am I coming? β
"What are you hesitating about?" Wu Xiao glanced at Minglan in confusion.
Bo Lan didn't refute, just laughed dryly: "It's not a hostile boss, it's always a little difficult to start with such a pitiful girl." β
Wu Xiao also casually pulled out a dagger in the package, and immediately stabbed the statue in the abdomen. I didn't think about the consequences for a while.
Although he did some psychological construction before he started, the feeling and sound of his hands still scared Wu Xiao. It is not as hard as a stone should be, and when it pierces through a thin and fragile shell, the dagger enters the soft part...... It's like meat. Even more terrifying was the white jade-like shell that was loose on the surface peeled off at the incision, revealing what was inside.
The texture of the white skin, and the pitch-black liquid that flows down the dagger.
Wu Xiao frowned, held back some strange discomfort and pulled out, and then gave Bo Lan a "change you" look.
The black, viscous blood-like liquid flowed continuously, and Wave carefully smashed the thin outer layer with the back of the dagger, avoiding the troublesome hair and clothing, and finally saw the statue's true face.
The expressions of both of them became solemn.
"Have you ever heard of gods having doppelgangers in the Nether before?" Wu Xiao looked up at the statue's flawless face, although her expression was a little hideous, it couldn't hide her supreme beauty.
"No...... Or maybe it's just that you haven't been exposed to this kind of record. β
"It should be a clone or something, right?"
"Any new hints in the mission description?"
"I'll see...... Ah, there is. 'A god who doesn't know his identity' is useless. β
"Sure enough, it's a god...... Then it was really blasphemy that led to the disaster. β
Wu Xiao got close to the statue, but still didn't dare to get started directly: "Mainly, what did they do." β
"Let's go back to the village chief's house."
ββββββββββββ
"Crunch-"
Before Wu Xiao could withdraw his hand, he heard the sound of stones grinding against him that could not be ignored.
"You won." Minglan stretched out his hand to Wu Xiao, who turned his head, "There really is." β
Wu Xiao couldn't hold back the smile on the corner of his mouth, and finally leaked a few smug laughs.
I was still guessing if there would be something like a camera obscura in the village chief's house, but I didn't expect to come back and look at it, and suddenly found that this kind of hidden existence could be vaguely detected by using the perception of the dark element. If you look for the path again, you will naturally find the entrance. As soon as the bedside table in the bedroom moved to the side, a door appeared.
"I would have made a bet if I had known." Shi Shiran walked to the hole that appeared on the opposite side of the bed, Wu Xiao and Bo Lan stood side by side, "It's a big loss." β
Wave turned sideways, and his smile did not decrease at all, "I am happy to accompany you at any time." β
Wu Xiao's face turned red, and she immediately returned to normal, and walked inside silently.
The passage is not long, the air is dry and refreshing, and it seems that there is a ventilation device. After going down about twenty steps, they finally saw the true face of the chamber.
It's very basic, with only a desk and a chair on the back.
However, there was plenty of light, and it was emitted by a transparent round lamp on the table. Wu Xiao studied carefully for a while and didn't see any principle, but gave an explanation.
"This is a light elemental bead, and this size can stay bright for about six to eight months."
"Light Elemental Beads? Have you seen it? β
"Well, it's an elemental mineral. There is mining in the territory of the Light Clan, which is considered a monopoly resource. I came into contact with the radish when I was doing the task, and I don't know if it was stored in the warehouse. In terms of lighting, it should be regarded as the most practical category. Of course, it's also convenient to use the light element on top of it. β
"Can we buy it, then?" Wu Xiao just wanted to stretch out his hand, but quickly retracted again, "No, I can't use the light element." β
"Yes, you can, but you have to find a merchant NPC of the Light Clan to buy it." Wave Lan stretched out his hand and held the round lamp, looking at the leaking light with a little helplessness, "This kind of small one, probably one or two hundred gold coins." β
One or two hundred gold coins, it seems that it is indeed a good price.
But for her, even a gold coin was not as useful as a torch or a candle.
Wu Xiao has no regrets, this kind of thing with substitutes, just like a limited edition lipstick, there are always alternative colors if you miss it, but you will have a little regret in your heart.
"Speaking of which, this thing is actually quite common, mainly because we have little contact with the Light Clan, and it is completely composed of dark elements like yours, if you encounter such a thing, it will be torture for yourself." Wave withdrew his hand, his eyes drawn to a tome on the table, "Let's see what this is." β
The thick black leather book cover looks calm and deep, and the frizz in the corners shows its fate of being used by its owner for a long time, but what attracts them more is the gilded English letters in the written circle-Cuifer? Fearγ
"Whose name is this?" Obviously, no one will tell Wu Xiao the answer, but the answer is also obvious, "It is estimated that it is the mayor of the town." β
Carving your name on everything is a very rare thing in the elemental world.
"Presumably the mayor's diary."
Wu Xiao opened it without hesitation.
The front is all about life and the little things in the town, but it can be seen that it seems that the harvest of the last season is not good, and there is a shortage of food in the town.
February 21, 784 in the national calendar
Thank God Lord! The God of Life has really appeared in front of us!
Ah, the breath of life is so wonderful, and the fragrant grains grow again, and we are saved at last!
Praise the Creator! Praise be to the God of life!
We will hold a thanksgiving offering for the God of Life!
Turning the page, it was the next day.
February 22, 784 in the national calendar
Thanks to the protection of the God of Life, we have abundant food. Thank God Lord! Thank God of Life!
It's great that a great gathering is held today for the God of Life, and the people of the whole town are happy and satisfied.
But the God of Life...... Don't seem to be happy?
It seems that the crisis in the town has been resolved by the god of life, but there are also many doubts.
"Will the gods show up in the Nether?" Wu Xiao always felt that something was wrong, she had only seen the god of the dark elements until now, and the others were lifeless sounds in the temple, and although the god of the dark elements was the god of the elements, she was also a high-ranking god, and she also saw it through her good luck with her yin and yang mistakes, not in the real world of the game, but in the cutscene of accepting the appointment. The gods that are extremely difficult to see with their own eyes but are ubiquitous are the meaning and truth of people's respect and belief.
But now, the diary of the mayor of an unknown town tells them that the gods have appeared, which is extremely intriguing and unreal.
"Generally not, even if it appears, it's a 'miracle', and you can see the attitude of those NPCs in the temple, and it's very happy to have a divine envoy go to the god festival. However, it is said that ......" the wave paused, "it is said that there are still gods in the nether. But it's mysterious, there have been speculations, and so far there is no definite news. β
"So what's going on here?"
"I don't know. Read on. β
However, there was a large blank space again.
I flipped through more than a dozen sheets in a row, all of them were empty yellowed papers, and there was not a single word.
Suddenly, this blank space was replaced by a piece of text.
April 17, 784 in the national calendar
The catastrophe spread...... People gradually began to disappear...... One after the other......
Please stop this! The god of life! We praise you, we sing your praises, and we hope that your divine light will save us again......
April 18th
It seems like it's almost my turn...... What a strange feeling......
No...... No!! The god of life! Please stop this!
April 19th
I am sorry and regret for the mistakes we have made...... However, this is probably useless......
After all, we do not have the ability and qualifications to do so, and trying to do so is only blasphemy.
Past sins cannot be changed, and lust and sin are the root that consumes us.
I may not be able to tolerate and forgive, but I will still repent and pray for the forgiveness of the God of life.
Don't ask for forgiveness, just hope to calm your anger. By my body and mind, I will atone for my sins with all my future.
Later, it turned into a blank again.
ββ¦β¦β
Wu Xiao and Wave Lan glanced at each other, both speechless.
After a few minutes, Wave couldn't help but speak first: "People have indeed disappeared, and it is not voluntary, it seems to have something to do with the God of Life." β
"So probably, the god of life appeared and saved the town, and then they were punished for what the people of the town did to disrespect the god of life, such as - God hidden?"
"You've discovered the truth about the town. It was the people of the town who blasphemed their gods that led to the tragedy. Your reward has been distributed. "The system prompts it very clearly, and the rewards are distributed very quickly.
Only a few XP and a few dozen gold coins, though.
"You can choose to leave the secret realm or continue exploring."
"Keep exploring." The two men were very unanimous in their answers.
Obviously, this plot secret realm is more than that.
"We're probably done with the first part, and there should be a second part later."
It's true that the mission information has changed now.
