683 Decaying Contract

"Namira? Could it be ......?"

When he heard this name, thinking of the picture he had just seen, Lin Chi immediately understood what sect he was facing:

As one of the sixteen demon gods of a continent called Tamriel, Namira is known as the god of darkness and decay, and her realm is known as "eternal darkness", and cannibalism is an anti-human ritual that her followers often perform.

For Namira's followers, cannibalism is a sacred embodiment, similar to the bloody "communion" of ancient times, and if these guys really believe in Namira, the reason why they kidnap the living is completely understandable.

However, now Lin Chi is more concerned about another problem:

It stands to reason that Namira's followers have nothing to do with the Martian wasteland, and these lunatics shouldn't be here. But since they will appear in this map, that is......

- Aren't these guys all 'barbarians'?

Lin Chi was thinking about it, when he saw a red light light in the darkness, Carol, who had just been invited to join the sect, stood on the iron plate stained with blood and waved his hand at the black-robed man in front of him.

"Hello everyone, I'm your new friend." The girl laughed, her long dark silver hair reflecting an eerie glow in the red light.

"Welcome to our family." A black-robed man whispered, throwing aside the half-gnawed bone in his hand and asking, "Have you completed the corpse eating ritual?" ”

"Not yet." Carol shook her head honestly.

"Only those who eat fresh corpses can receive the blessings of the goddess Namira." The black-robed man said loudly, "If you don't do this, we won't agree with you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a voice rang out in the audience.

Clearly, this unusually xenophobic closed sect does not intend to accept new believers. Just as Lin Chi continued to observe the situation, another figure appeared on the stage:

A blonde woman in a white dress appeared in front of the stage, as if she was an angel descending on hell, and at the same time as she appeared, Lin Chi's eyes lit up with red text:

Namira's Priestess, a heroic NPC,???

With a gentle smile on her face, the priestess stepped forward with her hands in her hands and said with a smile: "Who has an opinion?" ”

Her voice was as gentle as just now, but it shocked all the black-robed people in the audience, so that everyone else didn't dare to speak, and even the guy who opened his mouth to refute just now was silent and froze in place.

"Carol joins the sect and is an oracle of the goddess." The priestess stepped forward and looked down condescendingly at the believers in the audience: "You newcomers, dare to disobey the will of the goddess? ”

"No, we don......'t know," a black-robed man retorted.

"You will be a tribute to the sacrificial ceremony." The priestess pointed with her right hand at the black-robed man who had just spoken, and the other two black-robed men next to her immediately grabbed the man's arms and dragged him down.

"Use his flesh and blood for Carol's corpse-eating ritual." The woman in white still had a kind smile on her face, looked around the crowd, and slowly asked, "Does anyone else want to express their opinions?" ”

The inner sanctuary was shrouded in deathly silence, no one spoke, and all believers were aware of the silence.

"Ah, thank you." Carol stretched out her right hand and grabbed the priestess's arm: "I think we can get along!" ”

"Let's all go and prepare, and start the ceremony in an hour." The priestess turned to leave, and the figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a group of black-robed people in the audience, who continued to remain silent.

Taking advantage of the fact that the cult believers were too frightened to speak out, Lin Chi also quietly bypassed the crowd and moved towards the place where the woman in white and Carol had disappeared.

The floor under his feet seemed to be stained with sticky blood, which made his steps start to slow down, and with each step he had to pull up his feet that were "sticking" to the floor, and he began to make some noise when he moved.

After witnessing the situation just now, Lin Chi slowly stepped forward with a frown, thinking about the problem he was most concerned about at the moment:

- Carol doesn't really plan to join the sect, does she?

Whether it is the rampant domineering of "Bloody Blade" or the terrifying scene in "Doomsday Hotel", it shows that in many maps in "War Paradise", the "torture protection system" of the brain imaging game seems to have lost its effect.

Now that the game has been officially launched, many players have discovered this phenomenon, and various cruel tactics in the game have begun to increase, but ......

Even a madman like Bloody Blade shouldn't be able to eat people in the game. If Carol really chooses to join Namira's sect and completes that corpse-eating ritual, in a sense, she will also become the pinnacle of "War Paradise"!

- What was the woman thinking?

Lin Chi muttered secretly in his heart, leaning on the walls stained with various colors of "dyes", and slowly entered the depths of the inner temple. Bypass another ruined statue of Namira and enter a small room.

The smell of blood in the air was so thick that he could barely breathe, and Lin Chi hid in the shadows and put on the mask of his protective suit, finally avoiding the danger of suffocation. He looked at the walls around him that were covered with worm murals, then fixed his gaze on the stone table in the center of the room.

A tablet was placed flat on the desktop, which was very out of tune with the retro scene here, Lin Chi reached out to pick up the computer, and was about to check the contents inside, but he heard crisp footsteps not far away.

……

He slammed the computer into his backpack, leaned against the corner, and with the help of the dim red light above his head, he saw a white shadow enter the room, it was the priestess just now.

Even with no one around, the woman smiled angelically, and no one could connect her to this horrible sect by looking at her face. But the truth that people can't look good, Lin Chi is naturally very familiar with it.

"Strange, it's obviously placed here, huh?" The priestess whispered to herself, raised her head and sniffed in the air.

Then, she suddenly narrowed her eyes into a line, turned to the direction where Lin Chi was hiding, and asked, "Is anyone there?" ”

- Did she find out?

Realizing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi's heart suddenly rose, although even if a battle broke out, he would not necessarily fall into the disadvantage, but perhaps because he was too deep in the play, he felt like he was playing "Escape" at this time.

Lin Chi didn't make a sound, and quietly moved out against the wall, only to see the priestess still smiling at the corner of the wall, with her arms outstretched, as if she was defenseless:

"Well, anyone? We can talk, don't be afraid! ”

"This situation is something that everyone is afraid of, okay?" Lin Chi secretly complained in his heart.

The priestess blinked her azure eyes and walked towards the location where Lin Chi was hiding just now, still smiling and asking, "I'm Namira's priest, is anyone there?" ”

Although the other party's appearance was like an angel, the words he said sounded like a call from purgatory to Lin Chi, causing goosebumps all over his body, and his movements became faster.

It's likely that the priestess had crossed over from another map where she continued to worship the "barbarians" of Namira, the god of decay, and fighting such a person was not the right choice. It's better to run away as soon as possible......

Thinking of this, Lin Chi continued to tiptoe outward, and at this time, Namira's priest had already come to the corner of the wall, and suddenly turned his head to look at where Lin Chi was.

- Oops!

Lin Chi had a strong sense of foreboding in his chest, and he was ready to draw his weapon to fight, and at this moment, Carol's voice sounded from the door of the house:

"What are you doing?"

The silver-haired woman appeared less than two meters away from Lin Chi, stood in front of the door and stared at the priestess curiously, and asked, "Why are you talking to yourself, is it a ritual?" ”

"It's okay, maybe I'm thinking too much......" The priestess walked quickly to Carol, and her voice returned to softness: "Have you seen my computer?" ”

"No, what computer?" Carol shook her head.

"It's okay, I'll take you to rest, the ceremony won't start until a while." The priestess bowed slightly to Carol as she spoke, turning and walking deeper into the inner temple.

"That, I still want to visit here~" Carol shook her head playfully: "Let me take a look here, I promise it won't hinder you!" ”

Hearing this, the priestess was silent for a while, as if she had nothing to do with the girl who was off the line, and nodded helplessly: "Okay......"

The woman in white left alone and began preparations for the corpse-eating ritual, the sound of footsteps disappearing into the depths of the inner temple, but Carol did not leave, but sat down on a stone chair in the room.

Seeing this scene, after the priestess's footsteps completely disappeared, Lin Chi slowly spoke:

"You found me, didn't you?"

"Huh? What did you say? Is anyone there? Carol turned her head in alarm.

"Don't pretend, you were helping me out just now." Lin Chi said angrily: "I'm not a fool......

He knew that if Carol hadn't suddenly appeared just now, he would probably have started a fight with the priestess in white, and he should be in a state of "fighting happily" now. This female player, who can observe optical camouflage with the naked eye, helped herself out of the siege through her behavior just now. But......

"You want to destroy this organization too?" Lin Chi asked.

"Of course, this kind of anti-human place, do you think I'll join it?" Carol said in a low voice.

"Then you pretend to be quite similar, I really don't see it." Lin Chi smiled.

"Hey, whatever." Carol took off the gloves of her protective suit and pressed her right hand on the stone table, the cold touch flowing from her palm all over her body: "I was entrusted by someone to blend in here." Why are you here, though? ”

"Personal hobbies." Lin Chi gave a vague answer, but suddenly thought of something:

Carol says that she was entrusted to infiltrate the organization, but as a player, who did she accept to investigate an organization founded by "barbarians"?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi asked curiously, "Can you take the liberty of asking, who have you been entrusted by?" ”

"No comment." Carol obviously didn't mean to continue, but just stretched out his right hand to Lin Chi's position: "Show me the computer." ”

"What computer?"

"Don't play dumb." This time, it was Carol who asked, "You took that woman's computer, right?" For my sake, shouldn't you show me? ”

"Let's watch it together, I'm a drama party." Lin Chi said as he took out the tablet from his backpack and put it on the stone table in front of Carol.

"You came here to watch the plot, you're really not afraid of death......"

Carol snorted at the "air" in front of her, quickly unlocked the password of the computer, opened one of the documents, and Lin Chi, who was still invisible, also stood beside her, staring at the text on the screen:

The words in the computer are still the unique "Martian script" on Mars, but fortunately, the translation system in the game is still functioning, and the words are translated into meanings that Lin Chi can understand:

"Goddess Namira...... The goddess of harvest and crops, she protects our fields so that we can harvest well......"

"What the hell, isn't Namira the Demon God of Darkness and Decay?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

"Shhh......hhhh

"In the city of Makas in the Skyrim Province, Namira's altar was exposed, the goddess's followers were mercilessly slaughtered, and before the cult was about to perish, the goddess opened the door to other worlds, using her divine powers to protect the believers......"

"We arrived in this barren land, where there is no civilization and no farmland. But, wherever we are, as believers in the goddess Namira, we will pass on this faith. Make this chaotic wasteland the reign of Goddess Namira! ”

"Then a new hope will be born, and we will call on the gods here."

……

After reading the contents of the document, the faces of both of them became solemn. Carol closed the file and whispered to herself, "Is that so......"

"You know about them?" Lin Chi looked at the strange murals on the walls, the patterns of those worms reminded him of the evil gods from the Cthulhu Mythos.

Now it seems that maybe Carol also knows about the situation of the "barbarians" - Lin Chi just thought of this, and Carol's next words negated his inference:

"Yes, I received the assignment from Marcas City. I didn't expect to be able to receive a mission from an ancient map to a future map.,This game setting is really weird.。 ”

- So she didn't actually know about it, but was given a cross-map mission?

Remembering the dark sword he got from Trap City, and it wasn't until the Colosseum map that he unlocked its true power. Lin Chi immediately understood the reason why Carol would come here. He was about to continue to inquire about the situation, when he heard a terrifying footstep, which sounded again from outside the house:

Priestess from Hell...... Here it is again.
