“……”
There was silence in the execution ground, and nothing could be heard except for the faint howl of wolves in the distance.
As if angered by this shameless "walking corpse", Mephistopheles did not continue to answer Lin Chi's questions, and the two eyeballs in the statue's eye sockets also disappeared, leaving empty eye sockets.
"Hey, are you still there?"
Lin Chi stepped forward, stretched out his hand and patted the cold and hard face of the statue, and stretched out two fingers to pick a few times in the socket of the other party's eyes, seeing that the statue did not react, he turned around and left with some disappointment.
"What a damn god can't even answer the questions of humanity."
The icy night breeze blew across the execution ground, making his already numb torso even more stiff, and Lin Chi controlled his corpse role and walked along the path where several strong men came.
Although the specific situation has not yet been clarified, judging from what happened just now, it is clear that this map is also similar to the "high-martial map" of the frozen Savia Valley, with supernatural forces such as gods and demons in it, and even the characters controlled by the player themselves can be called part of the "ghost story".
According to Lin Chi's experience, in this kind of map, you can get the kind of equipment that is extremely powerful, but the versatility is very low.
The game maps in War Paradise can be described as uneven in combat effectiveness, and there are actually not many maps like this, and the equipment obtained from this map can basically only be applied to a few game maps with supernatural powers.
However, he was more interested in the retinue than in the equipment here.
The "Observer Contract", which had not been useful in previous games, was also brought into this map. Through the clues provided in the contract, it is possible to recruit a leader-level follower. And the boss in this map should be more powerful than Jane's combat power......
Thinking of this, Lin Chi also cheered up a little, and walked quickly through the narrow path, the shadows cast by the bushes on both sides kept swaying, like an undead waving his hand.
The light here was too dim to make out what was written on the contract. The top priority now is to find a safe place, check your equipment and status, and read the contents of the contract by the way.
Lin Chi swung his numb legs and walked quickly along the winding path for ten minutes, and finally a ray of light appeared in the distance.
An oil lamp hung on a copper lamppost, emitting a soft yellow light that dispelled the shadows of the neighborhood, and the path split in two from the side of the street lamp, creating a Y-shaped intersection.
Lin Chi stood next to the street lamp and looked at a wooden board standing not far from the lamppost.
The thing was like a bulletin board, with a few pieces of parchment nailed to it, and the text on the paper was translated into Chinese by the in-game automatic translation system:
Welcome to Sodom, visitors please walk forward, the Mer Hostel is in the direction indicated by the signs.
The Equestrian Competition in Sodom City is about to begin, and the competition will take place at the Colosseum south of the city.
"Sodom?"
Seeing this name, Lin Chi frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, the ancient city that gave this name was supposed to be a "city of sin" destroyed by angels sent by Jehovah in the Bible. However, this should not be the city that was destroyed, but it just bears the same name.
Lin Chi followed the instructions of the wooden road sign and walked towards the wider path, the rag shirt on his body swaying in the wind, and the hole in his chest revealed his gray skin.
Now he doesn't have a penny on him, so he can't afford to stay in a hotel. However, in order to avoid being discovered by the guys who carried the corpses, it is better to leave this place as soon as possible.
Compared to the dark road, there are several street lamps lined up on the side of the road, which improves visibility a lot.
After only a few steps, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, Lin Chi resolutely hid in the bushes on the side of the road, and then saw a cloud of smoke and dust on the road ahead.
Driven by a coachman wearing a tattered peaked hat and a red robe suspected of being a "witch", two brown-haired horses dragged a metal tow bucket in the direction of the execution ground, and many corpses were piled up in the silver-gray tow bucket, and the exposed hands and feet swayed slightly with the bumps of the body.
The carriage stopped at the intersection, and the coachman unloaded the corpses that he was pulling behind to the open space, and then drove the carriage to the other side of the road, and several strong men in black fur hats and gray clothes strode over, carrying several corpses to the path leading to the execution ground.
It seems that these people are the ones who threw down the corpses just now.
Seeing that these guys were "transporting goods", Lin Chi had no intention of staying here at all, and took advantage of the opportunity of their work to run along the road in the direction of the hotel.
Before he figured out the situation, he didn't want to fight the NPCs here. However, after collecting information just now, Lin Chi also roughly understood what the situation of the city was.
In addition to the ruts of the wagons on the dirt road, there was some blood that had just been spilled and not yet dried. While Lin Chi strode forward, he began to sort out the information he had just gathered:
According to his inference, this map should be a common dark background in Paradise of War. However, this time the darkness seems to be much more exciting than other maps.
If you're not mistaken, the inhabitants of Sodom City believe in Mephistopheles, the "god" of darkness, but they don't know that Mephistopheles is not actually a god, but an evil devil.
There is another possibility: the people who live in the city know that Mephistopheles is evil, but still believe in him. If that's the case, the city can be a real "city of sin" as its name suggests......
If the other players are like themselves, the corpses resurrected by Mephistopheles, the main theme of this game is probably the war of a group of "walking corpses".
Mephistopheles said that he needed to get his hands on something called "Divine Soul". But what is it exactly?
Even if you don't know the specific rules of the game yet, as long as you find other players, you will be able to figure out the situation.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi increased his speed a little and ran along the road. The silhouette of a wooden building came into his view.
The "Mel Hotel" mentioned on the bulletin board should be the building.
He hurried to the inn, intending to find a place to rest nearby, but as he ran, he tripped over something under his feet and nearly fell to the ground.
"Huh?"
Lin Chi, who finally stabilized his figure, looked back and saw two legs peeking out of the bushes on the side of the road, judging from the skin color of his ankles, that guy should be a living person.
"Ah......h
The man who had just stretched out his legs had a long hiccup. Muttering something in his mouth, he sat up from the bushes.
The gruff bearded man, with skin as rough as Mephistopheles' statue. His face was as red as pork liver, and he looked like he had just drunk a lot of wine.
"Keep drinking, don't interrupt me......"
The man picked up his cloth coat with vomit, staggered to his feet, and waved his hand happily when he saw Lin Chi:
"Hello, little brother! You were the one who was drinking with me just now! ”
"You've drunk too much." Lin Chi said seriously.
This guy is obviously an ordinary drunk, and he doesn't have any weapons on him. Probably a guest staying at Mel's Inn, Lin Chi, who met "ordinary people" for the first time in this map, didn't leave directly because he wanted to see how ordinary people would react when they saw him.
Not far from the two of them, there was a street lamp, and from this distance, the drunkard should be able to clearly see his abnormal complexion. If the other party is too drunk, Lin Chi has other solutions.
"Hey, don't stop me! Have a good drink! ”
The drunkard said drunkly, spitting out a choking smell of wine in his mouth, Lin Chi stood in front of the other party, stretched out his cold right hand, grabbed the drunkard's arm, and by the way, put his dead face in front of the drunkard, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
"I ...... It's okay! Ahh
The drunkard looked at Lin Chi with bloodshot eyes, and then as if he had suddenly discovered something, he leaned back and sat directly on the ground, his originally red face quickly turned a strange blue purple, and asked in a trembling voice:
"You...... You...... Cursed ......"
"The Cursed?" Lin Chi said the words he had heard from Mephistopheles.
"Don't come, don't come!" The drunkard stood up suddenly, like a wild horse on the loose, and ran in the direction of the execution ground, quickly disappearing out of Lin Chi's field of vision at a speed comparable to that of a track and field athlete.
In this way, he is the so-called "cursed"?
Lin Chi turned around, passed in front of the building of the Mel Inn, and continued along the road.
Since the other party is very afraid of himself, he also ruled out the possibility that "walking corpses are normal creatures in Sodom City", and his own existence, even in this evil city, is feared by people.
It seems that the cursed may be referring to the walking corpses who have been resurrected by the "gods". But since Mephistopheles asked to get rid of the other cursed ones, maybe the other players who played as the cursed ones were resurrected by other "gods"?
Lin Chi thought secretly, took off an oil lamp hanging next to the door of the Mel Hotel, carried the lamp into the wasteland on the side of the road, stopped far enough away from the road, leaned under a big tree, and began to confirm his current attribute status by the light:
Character Name: Countercurrent.
Domination Points: 0.
Prestige: 1000.
Kills: 0
Strength: 9.
Dexterity: 10.
Endurance: 9.
Lucky: 10.
"Isn't that too low?"
Looking at his miserable attribute value, which was lower than the first game, Lin Chi shook his head and opened the status bar to check the various effects on his body.
As expected, this time, the abnormal character really provided a few "special effects" to make the attribute so low:
Muscle relaxation:
As a resurrected walking corpse, all your stats are reduced by 5, and the effect lasts forever.
Cursed Ghosts:
Your terrifying image scares the people of the neighborhood and they will flee when they see you. When recognized, you will be hunted by the Town Watch.
Undead Weakness:
You are unable to defend against Holy Light attacks, which double your damage and cannot be repaired.
The dead are resurrected:
As a resurrected walking corpse, you cannot be killed by normal means, and will be revived within an hour of being killed, but will lose your accumulated kills and Domination Points after resurrection.
Carrier:
You carry the spirit of Mephistopheles.
"Are there so many special effects?"
Staring at the large number of states in the status bar, Lin Chi frowned slightly.
Now it seems that the character he is operating in this game is a weak corpse that is afraid of the Holy Light. Although his combat effectiveness is very weak, he is truly immortal when facing ordinary enemies.
This setting can be described as having advantages and disadvantages, but it is still mostly disadvantages: as long as you die once, the accumulated number of kills and dominance points will be cleared, and if you hang up a few times in the middle of the game, even if you can continue to survive, it is basically impossible to achieve the winning conditions.
However, now Lin Chi is more concerned about the effect of the name "carrier".
What exactly is Mephistopheles' "Divine Soul"?
While on the execution ground, Mephistopheles did say that he asked to bring back the "spirits" of the other cursed people. Other players who are cursed must also have "divine souls".
If you're possessed by Mephistopheles, you should be able to feel the power. But Lin Chi didn't feel any "divine power" in his body at all, and when he opened the skill bar, he was greeted by those few commonly used skills, and there was nothing related to "divine soul".
Aside from the carrier effect in the status bar, this so-called Divine Spirit has no presence at all. Ling Lin couldn't help but wonder if this state was written incorrectly.
He closed his eyes and leaned against the trunk of the tree to meditate for a while, still unable to feel any power. After a moment of silence, he finally opened his eyes again:
"Forget it, let's talk about it later.
Since I can't find it for now, there's no need to waste any more time now.
Lin Chi fumbled around the broken pocket hanging from his waist, and took out the observer's contract, which was also in line with the map setting this time, and changed into the form of parchment, which read:
"The sealed deity, south of Sodom, has an oracle that resoundeth everywhere to kill all blasphemers."
According to the clues provided in the contract, the leader-level retinue that can be recruited this time should be a sealed "god" located in the south of Sodom City. If the location of the boss can be found, the contract may provide a means of recruitment.
"Let's go......"
After confirming his condition, Lin Chi put the contract back in his backpack, stood up and dragged his weak body, and walked back towards the road.
Now, it's time to start planning for the next step.
