Chapter 209: Bad Faith in the Miscellaneous Room
The remaining monsters were quickly cleaned up by the swordsmen, and the purifying and filthy flames licked the dilapidated ruins and houses, purifying all sin and misery in the flames.
The swordsman slowly approached Shepard on the dry ground, and stopped not far away to look at him, his voice still hoarse, as if there was a problem with his vocal cords: "Your swordsmanship...... Not bad. ”
"You're not bad either," Shepard smiled faintly, "Mind if I ask, who are you?" ”
The swordsman was silent for a moment: "We ...... It's the watcher. ”
"You ...... Monitor? Shepard thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't understand, but it seems that you are not just alone, but an organization?" ”
The watcher looked back at the bloody place he left behind when he came, and the corpses that had been slain had more or less traces of abyssalization, apparently demonic believers hidden among the poor, and he turned back and said in a low tone: "Be careful...... Travelers, under the glamour and prosperity, may hide the abyss of sinking. ”
Shepard nodded, this swordsman unleashed an incomparably strong power of order in his divine vision, obviously a pure order profession similar to that of a holy warrior, and he had a natural affection for such an existence: "You can discern the degenerate in the crowd? It's not an easy thing to do. ”
The watcher was silent, and after a while, he shook his head, and after all, he didn't say anything more, just dragged his long sword and turned away, and said coldly as he left, "Leave as soon as possible, Traveler." ”
Shepard watched the Watcher disappear until he disappeared at the end of the road, and looking at the direction he was leaving, he knew that his target was the nearest source of evil, not a cult meeting place, or an altar for Fallen rituals.
Shepard stood silently, and suddenly showed a sneer: "Leave? No, why leave? These guys are so rampant that it is impossible for those churches to be unaware...... The guys who eat the corpse vegetarian meal, even the cultists dare to use it to raise thieves for self-respect, and they really don't know how to write dead words. ”
"I was thinking about leaving, but now it seems that I can't go...... Is a bunch of idiots unscrupulously challenging the bottom? Although the gods can't escape, and the will of the mainland doesn't know where it is, since you have given up such an opportunity, then leave it to me, even if I gain nothing, I have nothing to lose. ”
……
A corner of the ghetto.
It is almost out of the slums, and although it is still dilapidated, on the other side of the street is the well-organized, although not luxurious and spacious, but it can also be called the sturdy and beautiful shops and the houses of the well-to-do commoners.
Between the two areas, there seems to be an invisible wall separating the two worlds, on one side is the world that ordinary people think, and on the other side is the abyss that sinks into the abyss, even those gang members who are mixed in the slums, there is a tacit understanding not to set foot in the other side of the area, as if it is in another plane.
Shepard walked down the street empty-handed, and at the end of the road was an old three-story house, its dim and dilapidated appearance that looked like a scene from some rural horror stories, especially the location of this house was very remote, and the rows of shrubs and sparse trees shaded it all around, and it was very gloomy to look at at night.
Naturally, there were people on both sides of the road who looked at Shepard with bad intentions, but when they saw that his target was the old house, they couldn't help but shudder, and then looked at this outsider who didn't know whether to live or die, muttering that he didn't know what to say.
If you don't feel leisurely walked to the door of the old house, the dilapidated wooden door is still complete, the patterns and decorations on it can be roughly distinguished, and even some of the ornaments used to decorate the wealth of the owner's family are still hanging on the door, located in this place only one street away from the slum, naturally it will not be because the quality of the nearby residents is extremely high.
The moldy wooden handle smelled faintly rotten, and Shepard reached for it, twisting it slightly, barely exerting his strength, when he heard a clear creak and the door opened.
Suddenly a cold wind blew out of the house, with the smell of mildew that no one had accumulated for a long time, the strange thing was that the wind blew inexplicably, and there was no dust in the house, and the sunlight outside the door fell into the house, and it immediately became dim, and when I looked through the light, I could vaguely see the closed windows around me.
Shepard took two steps forward, and the door behind him suddenly closed, and darkness instantly enveloped the room, as if it had become two worlds with the outside world, and the cold wind swirled around him, not like an ordinary wind, but an invisible living creature playing with him.
"Hmph."
With a light snort, the divine dazzling light suddenly lit up, and this unnatural light was not affected by the strange situation of the old house in the slightest, and the brightness that was more dazzling than the sunlight shone all around, and the fallen tables and stools, the long tables with messy tableware, and the tightly locked cabinets were all clearly visible.
However, there were four faint blue shadows that let out silent screams, and the distorted forms melted away like ice and snow in the light full of positive energy, leaving no trace of their existence before anyone could see their appearance.
Shepard looked at the environment in the old house, the four purified ghosts were nothing more than ants to him, not worth paying attention to at all, and walked around the house casually while watching, until he went up from the first floor to the third floor, only to find a tightly sealed utility room in the corner, which looked a little strange.
Bang –
There was no need to waste time looking for a key, Shepard kicked it, there was no magic power attached, just the wooden door closed by the lock opened, and before he could observe what was inside, a dark shadow came to his face with a fishy smell.
The sharp claws of the forearm shimmered with a poisonous sheen, and the sour smell was disgusting, while the half-human-tall body had an incomparably large head, its open mouth almost half the size of a head, and its mottled sarcomas and scars were like monsters pulled out of a nightmare.
The claws of the monster rushed straight into Shepard's eyes, and the foul-smelling bloody mouth was also a ferocity that would bite off a human head, so that the sudden attack and the attacker were fast enough to kill any ordinary person on the spot.
Boom!
The divine power shield that exists all the time should be thought, this invisible and qualitative defensive force field is between the enchantment and the elemental shield, and it has an extremely effective defensive effect against physical attacks and magical attacks, so that although Shepard found this sneak attack monster, he just calmly waited for it to hit the force field strong, and the speed and strength of the monster pounced, the heavy blow it received.
Fallen monsters don't die so easily, and this degenerate monster that may have been a dwarf or halfling or a halfling broke its claws, but still opened its jaws to bite it, and Shepard had to throw a purifying fire, causing the monster to be burned to ashes in a roar.
