Half an hour later, standing on the second floor of the apartment full of blood and filled with the corpses of human soldiers, Lin Chi raised the Mephistopheles statuette he had gotten from the chapel to the middle-aged man who was leaning against the corner of the wall and shivering.

As the miniature altar began to take effect, the middle-aged man's expression froze on his face, his complexion instantly turned gray, his body slid down softly, and his breathing immediately stopped.

Then came the all-too-familiar quest completion prompts:

Mission "New Offering" has been completed!

You earn 30 Domination Points and receive the quest reward: Mephistopheles' Powers.

There was an icy aura flowing through his body, and all of Lin Chi's attribute values increased by two points again, and his strength reached 17 points, and the other three attributes reached 18 points. But......

"Where's the 'mighty power' that you said you were talking about?" Lin Chi teased.

"Don't worry, walking corpse, you'll get stronger." Mephistopheles, who had just absorbed the life of the living sacrifice, seemed to speak in a louder voice than before: "As long as you provide a living sacrifice to Lord Mephistopheles, you can gain great power!" ”

"Alright, don't change the adjective." Lin Chi clenched the statue in his hand and asked, "Do you know anyone who can decipher ancient characters?" ”

- I just captured a new sacrifice for Mephistopheles, and this "god" should have increased his trust in himself, so the success rate will probably increase while asking questions now.

Mephistopheles didn't answer the question, though, and just reminded him to say, "Don't touch that field." Then he was silent.

Realizing that he couldn't get any information from Mephistopheles, Lin Chi left the slaughtered house and threw the miniature altar in his hand into the garbage heap on the side of the road.

- Now his goal is to find someone who can translate the Crimson Book.

According to the normal game routine, this information should be obtainable in the Tavern. But at midnight, there were no open taverns in Mephistopheles' territory, and it was naturally impossible to go to the tavern to find out information.

Speaking of intelligence, though......

Lin Chi followed his memories and found the altar of Mammon that he encountered when he first entered the city. Without waiting for Mammon to speak, he asked the question straight to the point:

"Can I buy information here?"

"Oh, it's Mephistopheles' Cursed!" Mammon's voice was as enthusiastic as ever, and it didn't sound like the "Demon God": "What information do you need?" ”

Listening to the other party's words that looked like a profiteer, Lin Chi also immediately said his needs: "I need to find someone who can read ancient books, preferably a linguist or something." ”

Due to the special nature of the Scarlet Book, he naturally did not give the book directly to the gods to interpret, and the requirements he made to Mammon were the same as when he asked Mephistopheles just now.

"O linguist...... Yes, there is. Speaking of this, Mammon changed her words: "I see that you have the spirit of Samael in your hands, and you can use this spirit to exchange information from me." ”

"Isn't it a little more expensive to change a medium-sized divine soul for a piece of information?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

He tried to bargain with Mammon, but Mammon, who was the greedy demon god, was naturally not moved by this level of rhetoric, but directly said the point of the matter: "Friend, you should have no other channels, that's why you came to me, right?" ”

Realizing that the bargain failed, Lin Chi sighed, took out Samael's medium-sized divine soul from his backpack, and held it in his hand:

"Okay, we can swap." He said.

He was more interested in interpreting the Scarlet Book than consuming his soul to gain a few attribute value bonuses. After all, the energy contained in this book may be countless times stronger than the "great power" that Mephistopheles gave him. Moreover, the content of this book may also be related to the "sealed gods" written in the contract.

As long as you can decipher the content of the Crimson Book, your combat power is likely to make a qualitative leap, even if you don't get a strong power, you can go back and take this book to hand in the task, and get the power given by the Blood God, which can be described as a sure deal.

After obtaining the divine soul from Lin Chi, Mammon was also very happy, and immediately told the information:

"Friend, the man you are looking for is in the southwest of the city, his name is 'Hermit', and he lives in the territory of Leviathan. Here's his address and contact information......"

After getting the information he needed, Lin Chi didn't bother to chat with this profiteer anymore, and immediately set off for Leviathan's territory to find the "hermit" in Mamen who could read ancient texts.

- Player "Brahma Fury" is dead.

Glancing at the death reminder, Lin Chi quickened his pace and walked along the street towards the south side of the city.

- Player "asted" is dead.

Lin Chi raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

- The player "Cardinal Mage" has died.

- Player "Dance on Ice" has died.

When the third and fourth death prompts appeared, Lin Chi's pace slowly stopped.

There are no large-scale plot events in the game yet, but players are starting to be harvested by NPCs like leeks, which is obviously unreasonable.

Could it be that some previous actions have caused the situation in the city to change?

Not knowing what was happening, Lin Chi did not continue to move forward, but cautiously returned to the sacrificial house, avoiding the sight of the guards on the street.

"Hoo ......"

He opened his mouth and let out a fishy breath.

Even as a walking corpse, you can still feel tired in the game. In the middle of the night after the arrival of time, Lin Chi was already a little sleepy.

Although this room is not a safe house, it is obviously much more secure than the hotel I rented before, and as long as you take precautions, you can sleep here, in fact, there is no problem.

Lin Chi searched the house, took out an empty glass bottle from the kitchen and put it in front of the door, tied a thin wire to the window frame, and hung a few pieces of broken iron found in the bedroom, completing a simple "alarm system".

"Well, that's pretty much it." He nodded in satisfaction.

Then, the bottle in front of the door collapsed.

Bang bang bang!

The main door of the house was knocked on, making a series of noises, Lin Chi pulled out the dark sword and approached the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

"It's me......," a familiar female voice rang out, panting, "Lord Messenger, I'm Moria!" ”

Lin Chi opened the door lock, and Mo Liya, who was wearing a black night suit, rushed into the living room with an arrow step, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath, as if she was about to collapse.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Chi looked at the "holy woman" who came to the door.

"It's Mephistopheles...... My lord...... Let me come......" Moria, panting, "Lord Messenger, please don't go back to the street, outside...... It's too dangerous. ”
