Fang Liang thought for a moment and quickly came to a conclusion.

There is a high probability that this is the original curse power of [ID: Forest], which is fighting against the [Curse Pandora] released by Cao Zhengfei and others.

This strange action ritual is obviously a collision of two cursed powers, even though these characters are phantoms, but the activation of the cursed power does not necessarily require a physical entity.

Like inside a deadline building, players can draw a red line in the cursed area to warn of an attack, and they don't need to actually control the curse to gain a small advantage.

Like some kind of self-protection, self-defense instinct, the curse on Fang Liang's body also had a similar resistance effect.

Rubbing his wrist, which was no longer painful, Fang Liang found that the illusion in the church was quite stable for the time being, and all the scenes were repeating the picture of the little boy being worshiped by the believers.

As long as the curse power does not dissipate, the guys outside should not be able to enter for the time being, but it is still unknown how long it will last.

"Keep investigating, as long as we can complete the quest challenge, it'll be over."

Fang Liang wasn't too nervous, as long as he used the death line effect, he believed that he could drag Cao Zhengfei all the way out of here, but the existence of the curse outside was eroding the church, and he had to find information from the past before the illusion completely dissipated.

"It's like a leading prologue, maybe my guess is close to the answer......"

Thinking of this, Fang Liang walked towards the believer who was making a welcoming gesture: "Hello, may I ask if there is a curse here?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhengfei and the baseball cap players both turned their heads and found that the believer who greeted the visitor actually stood up straight, clasped his hands in front of his waist, and still smiled with a wrinkled face: "Guest, you also came from afar, and you are here to seek miracles, right?" ”

"Come on, come together, as long as you join us, you will be able to gain the wisdom of the gods and make a new breakthrough in the worldview."

Join you in thirst for miracles?

Thinking of the wriggling sound of Palaches that he had just heard, Fang Liang turned his head and said, "No, I haven't heard of any miracles, and I'm not a religious person, but I heard that there seems to be a curse here, and a plague related to mushrooms is breaking out. ”

The welcoming believers squinted and smiled: "God will heal any disease, God will relieve any pain, the forest with infinite wisdom is a miracle, and the sick believer will find peace and healing under our protection." ”

"Since you're not here for a miracle, are you here for someone?"

Fang Liang replied: "Yes, I know a doctor, and I want to come and find a patient who is my friend. But the appearance of a sick person changes a lot, and if I don't see the patient with my own eyes and listen to him, I may not be able to recognize him. ”

Still squinting and smiling, his wrinkled face frozen around his neck like a wooden carving, he rolled up his hands, took out a large glittering key from his sleeve, stretched out his left hand, and fixed the key in front of him.

Fang Liang stretched out his hand to grab the big key, wanting to borrow this key to investigate the room inside the church, but found that the key was not moving.

Looking closely, the palms of the welcoming believers were stretched out flatly, the thumbs and fingerprints did not move, and the other four fingers were slightly bent.

"This ...... Do you have to stuff money to visit a patient? ”

Fang Liang's eyes were strange and he wondered in his heart, he didn't expect that there would still be money in the puzzle deduction copy, he looked at his backpack, pretending to look for valuable things, in fact, there were only flashlights, pistol bullets, candles, fuel, and mushroom extracts.

Standing up to the sky is just a few wooden sticks used to beat the grass and explore the path, this thing is definitely not a valuable thing, and the forest is everywhere.

"If, in a sense, this welcoming believer is also a survivor, will he accept this?"

Thinking of this, Fang Liang took out the test tube containing the refined mushroom extract and tentatively handed it to the believer.

The welcoming believer holds the test tube, pulls out the cork with a "pop", puts it in front of his nose and sniffs it gently.

Suddenly, the welcoming believer opened a pair of yellow and white eyes with no pupils, and the wrinkles on his face began to wriggle like roots.

The welcoming believer grabbed Fang Liang excitedly, his old hand was full of wrinkles and almost pierced into the flesh, and he trembled and screamed:

"Divine blood! God's Blood! High purity of divine blood! ”

"Come, drink the blood of God, become one with God, feel the enlightenment of wisdom, and there will be a major breakthrough in your worldview!"

The welcoming believer kept repeating this madman-like whisper, Fang Liang felt that the clear bell ringing in his ears became stronger and stronger, the world in front of him began to become highly greasy and distorted, and the sudden sharp pain on his wrist seemed to break bones, which made Fang Liang regain consciousness again.

In the next second, Fang Liang shook his sleeves and aimed his pistol at the believer's face with a black hole hole, warning him to stop this crazy prayer immediately.

"Okay then......" The madness on the face of the welcoming believer gradually disappeared, he sighed regretfully, returned to that wrinkled smile, first stuffed the test tube into his arms, and then put the glittering big key in Fang Liang's hand.

Seeing this scene, the player wearing a baseball cap was also full of shock, and seeing Cao Zhengfei's eyes calm and smiling, he finally realized that he had met a god-level teammate in a random match, and he was the kind of master who had a high probability of completing the puzzle clearance.

"Huh, big guy, your teammates are so bold! The monster was still calm in front of me, if I had already panicked and fired! ”

"Well, excuse me, is your team still missing? I'm a solo player, random teammates with random matches, no fixed team. ”

Cao Zhengfei shook his head: "No, counting a certain NPC and logistics teammates, there are already 5 people in our team." In order to avoid triggering the curse mechanic, which leads to the endless Kuroshio Wave raids, we can't just add people. ”

The player wearing the baseball cap felt a little lost, but he was not stupid, and suddenly thought of the question of the player with the pistol (Fang Liang), and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: "So, you not only mastered the plot clues, but also survived the Kuroshio night twice?!" ”

Cao Zhengfei shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and walked towards Fang Liang, at this moment Fang Liang got the key, he was trying to open the doors in the church: "It's just once, it wasn't triggered the next day, the law of the curse is very strange, and we haven't sorted it out thoroughly." ”

"According to the current situation, our team is not recruiting people for the time being, if you want to clear the customs, you have to work hard to investigate the clues yourself."

The player wearing the baseball cap asked, "So, are you veteran of the power of the curse?" ”

Whether it's a curse obtained from a dungeon or an inactivated curse purchased, the average player doesn't have this kind of strength and courage.

Cao Zhengfei laughed: "Senior man! My curse was activated only by this copy, causing the broken chest to brush on the face to tempt others to open it, and I didn't even sense it in range, it just popped out of the grave. ”

"Open the box, the siege is indeed lifted, but using curses to fight each other is tantamount to drinking to quench your thirst, I can't control the monster released by the box at all, isn't this also being chased and cut by it, and there is no way at all?"

Fang Liang avoided the benches and believers, and leaned against the wall to approach the room inside the church: "Ah lazy, come here, help me set up the gun, there is movement here, I want to open the door to check." ”

"Okay." Cao Zhengfei stretched out his hand, and the short-barreled shotgun rotated in his hand like chopsticks, and the loading clicked close to the door.

The baseball cap player asked several times, embarrassed to harass Fang Liang and Cao Zhengfei again, so he had to look for information in the church by himself.

The key turned, pushing open the door, and the viscous and disgusting wriggling sound of the Parachesh mushroom became clearer and clearer.

There was a wardrobe behind the door, Fang Liang pushed it with a little more force, but the sound of the squeaky wooden planks rubbing did not attract the attention of the believers.

Squeezing through an analysis that could be drilled sideways, Fang Liang turned on the flashlight and found that it was a simple and fully furnished bedroom.

Fang Liang followed the creeping sound to divert the light of the flashlight, pulled the cabinet behind the door open and then pressed against it, and immediately found that the room had been closed for a long time, as if it had never been ventilated, and the smell of rotten and fermented sake lees spread in the room.

The flashlight swept around, Fang Liang didn't find the Heavenly Mushroom on the ceiling or in the corner, but he found a wriggling mass of fabric on the floor not far from the bed.

"Be careful, I'll set you up a gun."

Glancing back at Cao Zhengfei, Cao Zhengfei took a flashlight and a short-barreled shotgun to aim at the sheets, and Fang Liang approached the sheets from the flanks.

The distance shortened again, Fang Liang listened with bated breath and came to a conclusion: "The squirming sound is coming from under the bed, and those disgusting mushrooms should grow in the shade under the bed." ”

The next moment, Fang Liang took out the pathfinder stick from his backpack, slowly picked up the sheet, and then pulled it away as he retreated.

The picture in front of me is a bit disgusting, and it is unbearable to look at it directly, but I still want to get more information from here.

The worm covered by the sheet was not a mushroom, but a sick person.

It's just that this patient, in a sense, perfectly fits Li Xiaoyu and the doctor's description of the zoomorphic disease patient.

Probably because of the curse, or the injection of mushroom extract, the patient's skin took on a plump and smooth leaden gray.

The strange thing is that the patient's body, the root of the tree that extends from under the bed, has pierced the flesh and burrowed into the patient's legs and ribs, causing the patient's body to swell and twist, and can only lie on the ground and cannot move.

A large number of heavenly mushrooms, like a wriggling internal organs, stretched from the patient's armpits to shoulders all the way to the bottom of the bed, but the lead-gray facial features were already swollen like a rugby, the teeth were abnormally enlarged, and the nails of the hands and feet had turned black like beasts, and the patient was breathing in pain and groaning, until Fang Liang opened the door to check, he was not dead!

Fang Liang was a little shocked by the strange picture in front of him, and noticed that the patient's mouth and larynx were still moving with difficulty, he approached again, holding his breath and listening carefully.

"Kill me, God......"

Fang Liang was stunned for a moment, this patient actually still had a sense of self-awareness, but when he noticed the smell of wine lees in the room, he knew that this patient must have a large amount of flammable poisonous gas accumulated in his body, and once the patient was killed, it might cause the poisonous gas to spread.

Cao Zhengfei just stood at the door with a gun and a flashlight to set up a gun, Fang Liang wanted to ask his opinion, but he felt that his gaze was calm and unmoved.

I don't know if it's because it's too far away to see the actual condition of the patient, or if this distorted and weird scene also makes him speechless.

Listening carefully, the patient still repeats this sentence, like a terrifying dream in the depths of despair, and like a dying struggle before breathing.

Fang Liang avoided the patient and flipped over the bed board through the fabric, only to find that the roots had come out of the cracks in the wooden floor.

Because the mushroom grows so strangely, even the slopes of the cracks in the planks grow, it is impossible to tell if it has emerged from the patient or from under the floor to the patient.

"Could it be that the church is the source of the curse, that more sick people are locked up in the basement, that the church is covering up their crimes?"

"No, it's not, if that's what caused all the mutations, it wouldn't be able to handle the Mimics out there."

Just when Fang Liang wanted to carefully observe and collect evidence, Cao Zhengfei whispered to remind that someone was coming, Fang Liang immediately retreated, only to find a believer standing outside the door, walking briskly towards the room.

"Oops, it's too late to restore the scene!"
