Chapter 422: Ongoing Infection
"If the Church of the God of Judgment has anything to do with the Descendants of Wrathful Sins, then they do want to kill us invaders. ”
Lin Ze's eyes flashed and he withdrew his gaze.
"It seems that the Church of the God of Judgment already knows the existence and location of our people, so it's okay, as long as you catch the upper echelons of the church, you should be able to ask about Sister Qi's whereabouts. ”
As the church procession moved away, calm gradually returned to the city gate, and the procession into the city was rearranged, and it was Lin Ze's turn after a while.
"The entrance fee is three copper coins. ”
The soldier guarding the wooden fence stretched out his hand with a blank face.
Previously, when Lin Ze tortured the three of Dani, just in case he took a lot of coins from them, it would come in handy.
Placing the copper coin on the soldier's outstretched palm, the latter glanced at it, and then waved his hand impatiently, allowing Lin Ze to pass through the wooden fence and enter the city of Masai.
According to the information obtained from the mouths of the three Dani, the city of Masai can be roughly divided into three parts, with the outermost city walls and a spacious buffer area, followed by the filthy slums, and the aristocratic district at the very center.
Yes, there is no plebeian area in the city of Masai, except for the high Church of the God of Judgment, the nobility and their servants and retainers, the rest belong to the pauper, and can only do the lowest jobs all their lives, living in the filthy ghetto, until death, to serve the big men of the noble district, to be squeezed out of every penny of value.
In this case, the atmosphere of the ghetto is naturally not much better.
After stepping on this dirty, garbage-strewn land, Lin Ze immediately felt the numbness, pessimism, despair and resentment that filled every inch of the air, as if these negative emotions had become a part of the slum and an inseparable existence.
"It's a really uncomfortable place. Lin Ze frowned slightly, staring at everyone who passed in front of him, regardless of men, women, and children, all of them exuded negative emotions without exception, as if there was not even the slightest hope in this area.
Standing in place for a while, Lin Ze noticed that many people cast strange glances at him, most of them staying on his clothes.
Seeing this, he took a step with the same face and walked in the direction of the noble district, when he suddenly turned his steps halfway and dodged into a lane.
The gloomy alleyways were dirtier than the streets outside, and the smell was disgusting, and Lin Ze didn't care, taking out the character card and summoning Lynn out.
"Hey, it's dirty, what kind of place is this?"
As soon as the girl appeared in the sewage-ridden alley, her pretty face immediately showed a disgusted expression, stretched out her hand and fanned her nose, and then looked at Lin Ze and asked:
"Master, what about the angry sinners?"
"I don't know. Lin Ze shook his head and recounted what he had seen and heard since he came to this world, "Now it seems that this place should not be as simple as the Sin Descendant Enchantment, but it is very similar to the game dungeon, with a specific NPC power and power system. ”
"How could a monster create such a thing? not even a sinner. Lynn said in surprise.
"That's what we're going to find out next. Lin Ze shook his head and said.
"What did the master call me out for, to infiltrate the church and find out the information?"
"No, just teach me to go myself, and tell you to come out and have other things. Lin Ze looked at Lin's eyes fixedly, "Did you feel anything abnormal?"
Lin was slightly stunned when she heard this, showing a puzzled look, and was about to ask, her expression suddenly moved, and then gradually became solemn.
"It's a feeling...... It's exactly the same as when I was infected by anger after killing monsters in the forced dungeon, but the infection is not large, very slight, and if it weren't for your master's reminder, I probably wouldn't have noticed. ”
"That's because the infection has just begun. ”
Lin Ze's expression also became solemn, and after entering the slum area and feeling the massive negative emotions permeating the surroundings, he had a flash of inspiration and began to wonder if these negative emotions could also infect the human body.
It's just that he has a special constitution and can't be sure if his guess is correct, so he summons Lin out, and it turns out that his doubts are right.
Although the infection of the monsters in the forced copy is more violent, as long as you don't kill the monsters, you will be fine, but now it is different, even if you don't do anything, you will be exposed to the infection all the time, even if the magnitude is slight, but it is undoubtedly a very terrible thing to add up.
"Is it only in the slums, or can it be infected in other places?" Lin Ze flashed a trace of worry in his heart, if it was the latter, then players other than him would be in trouble.
He was a little worried about Qiao Qi, who was not immune to infection like him, and if he stayed in this world for too long, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Master?" asked Lynn softly, noticing his demeanor.
"I'm fine, you can't stay outside for too long, let's go back first. ”
Returning Lin to the card space, Lin Ze turned around and left the alley, intending to go directly to the church of the God of Judgment.
A high stone wall was erected between the ghetto and the nobility, and access was only through a heavily guarded gate in the middle, which was said not only to isolate the slums, but also to prevent heretics from infiltrating the nobility.
The so-called heresy, according to Dani and others, is a rebel who does not believe in the god of judgment and intends to overthrow the ruling power granted by the gods to the nobles, but in Lin Ze's view, it is actually just an excuse used by the ruling class to exclude dissidents and protect interests.
When he arrived at the gate of the aristocratic district, Lin Ze was surprised to find that more than a dozen people had gathered in front of the door, and it seemed that something had happened.
"There's nothing to say, my servant saw with his own eyes that you stole my things, how can this be fake?"
It was a fat man dressed in luxurious clothes who looked like an aristocracy, his cheeks trembling slightly, his greedy gaze constantly sweeping over a young girl who was slumped on the ground, and his throat was obviously rolling.
The girl looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and was very delicate, but at this time her face was full of fear, and her hands tightly hugged the arm of a man with rough and dark skin and a vicissitudes of life, and her body trembled slightly.
Judging from the somewhat similar faces of the two, most of them are a father and daughter.
"Wronged, my lord, it was your servant who accidentally dropped the ring in front of us, and we haven't even touched it!" said the swarthy man with a horrified expression.
"You mean I framed you?"
The fat nobleman sneered and said to a handsome middle-aged man with a smile on his face and a peaceful expression beside him, "Your Excellency Gilles, you are a devout disciple of the God of Judgment, and you have the power to judge evil, why don't you tell if these two are thieves?"
"No problem. ”
Gille glanced at the father and daughter, smiled and nodded, but did not make any probing movements, but said directly: "Baron Pied, their ring was stolen." ”
"It's not us who steal ......"
The swarthy man's face turned pale with fright, and he tried to defend himself, but was unceremoniously interrupted by Giller.
"Are you trying to say that I, as a believer in the God of Judgment, have made an unjust judgment?"
Swept away by Giller's calm but chilly gaze, the swarthy man choked his words, and his lips trembled and he could no longer speak.
"In that case, come, take the father and daughter back to the mansion, and I will interrogate them properly. Pierre's greedy gaze swept over the girl's full breasts, patting the bulging belly and laughing.
Several servants on the side immediately pounced on them like wolves and tied up the father and daughter, who were constantly begging for mercy.
"Your Excellency Giller, let's go back to the car. Pierre Dao.
Gille nodded, and was about to get into the car, when the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Ze not far away, he couldn't help but move, turned his head suddenly, and his eyes stayed on Lin Ze's face for a moment, and his eyes gradually lit up, revealing the same greedy gaze as when Pierre looked at the girl before.
Without hesitation, he immediately pointed to Lin Ze and said in a deep voice:
"Baron Pierre, that man is also an accomplice of the thief, take him back and interrogate him as well. ”
