These boots are simple in style, but they are actually one of the basic equipment of the special forces of the Dead Realm. Su Cheng had also harvested this thing at the beginning, but now that the color tone had changed from inky black to earthy yellow, he didn't remember it for a while.

If he's not mistaken, these combat boots are supposed to be made of potion-soaked high-breathable Warcraft leather, which is light to wear, and not prone to heat and humidity inside, and strong enough to provide good defense and buffs even in harsh environments, which can be regarded as the top representative of standard equipment.

Su Cheng's thoughts flowed quickly, but what Sindy saw was that he was holding a rotten broken foot in a daze, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's the matter, is this a hint?" ”

Hmm, Su Cheng first recalled the structure of this combat boot, and in his impression, this boot had a dark compartment at the bottom.

In some Intelligence Missions, most of the time the player will fail the mission by dying. However, as long as you wear these boots, even if you are killed or captured, you can play a role in hiding information, thus avoiding direct defeat, and the effect is seemingly mundane but quite effective.

It didn't take much time, Su Cheng, who was very familiar with this combat boot, cut five knives on the sole of his shoe with a short knife, and the five knives were cut according to a specific law, the depth of the knife was different, and finally a pentagram composed of five straight lines was formed.

The five sharp corners correspond to the five hidden traps in the soles of the boots, and only by unlocking these five simple but at the same time enough to destroy the things in the dark grid can the things be successfully removed.

Of course, simply knowing the position of the five runes is useless, because you need to be extremely careful when cutting the five straight lines, you have to be familiar with the depth and order of the runes, and the strength of the cutting is also very particular.

And Su Cheng was so familiar with the mechanism because he had to help a player with mediocre strength complete a difficult level task in order to obtain this silver enchanted light armor - [Wrath of the Mountains].

It was a quest called Rat. If you really want to calculate it, the difficulty estimate is only the lowest level of the difficulty level. However, it is also in this mission with fewer combat elements that Sioux City learns a lot of tracking and anti-tracking techniques in the process of arresting again and again.

to the end. Although the reward went to the player as agreed, he was able to get the mechanism from an intelligence officer in the Undead Realm named "Tushi" - and although the other party was reluctant at first, he learned it as a result.

Soon. Under Cindy's incredulous gaze, Sioux City slightly slipped the heel of the sole, and in a few moments, pulled out a yellowed sheepskin scroll.

Sioux City glanced up at Cindy, smiled, and then spread out the parchment roll with her disdainful snort, glancing at the opening title: TS-144.

Below the title, there is a short text description:

"We have received intelligence that TS-144 is suspected of appearing at Borek Castle in the Orthodox Cross diocese, please dispatch immediately. At that time, ■Confidential■ will go with you and others to collect it, but there is no need to communicate with them. Although it has been documented to be less harmful, it may be a great temptation for people with low willpower in certain circumstances, and caution should be exercised.

Therefore, if necessary, people who behave suspiciously can be controlled or killed. In addition, in any case, you must return to your home country within four days, regardless of whether the TS-144 is successfully recovered or not. ”

TS-144？ Sioux City thought for a moment. In his mind, he probably had never seen anything similar to it or related.

Without further speculation, he moved his gaze to the next paragraph. This section describes the appearance and function of the TS-144:

"TS-144 is a medium-sized porcelain vase in appearance. It is one meter high, and the diameter of the bottle mouth is about half a meter. The oldest records of the Bloodline do not give the exact date of its origin, but it is estimated from the images and materials left behind that it must have been born before the Civil War of the First Bloodline, and no later than ■Confidential■.

TS-144's primary material is unknown, and its surface is incompromised by any attacks below the Sanctuary. According to the records. One of the first Bloodline princes tested and successfully destroyed the left handle of TS-144 with Sanctuary-level power.

The TS-144 periodically produces an individual that is independent of its own strength, depending on the host, but only up to the combat power of a top-tier professional.

Collectively referred to as TS-144-2, these instances can manifest in any form (depending on the host), but tend to be humanoid in appearance, highly hostile to all living things, and have a habit of collecting flesh and dropping it into TS-144.

After all TS-144-2 has been cleared or killed, TS-144 is to be temporarily suspended, at which point a rough seal is to be performed immediately, and a second seal is to be performed within three days of the start of the initial period.

Please note that it is forbidden to attack in extreme heat (high or cold) and forcibly take away the TS-144-2 in defiance of it, otherwise it will provoke fierce resistance. ”

TS-144-2……

Despite the different names, Sioux City is 100% convinced that the TS-144-2 described in this document is the Xenomorph.

After seeing the detailed picture attached to the third paragraph, Su Cheng determined that the medium-sized porcelain vase, known as TS-144 by the Realm of the Dead, was actually the object of the evil spirit curse that the mission asked him to collect.

After all, the photo of the item given to him by the system is exactly the same as the picture on this parchment roll, both in terms of volume and detail, and it can basically be determined that it is the same item.

"Third Order [Collection]: Find the Red Fire Dagger in the first layer, find the Magical Sheep-shaped Wood Sculpture in the second layer, and find the Evil Spirit Curse in the fifth layer."

These three missions are different from the tasks that Sioux City usually receives, and there are not many words and materials introduced in the system. And at the moment when these three missions appeared, the original second stage of the task [Game] had been covered by it, and in addition to the task of [Eternal Darkness], there was only this task with a heroic difficulty.

After seriously reading the first three paragraphs, Sioux City pulled the parchment scroll to the end, the last of which reads:

"Note: The owners of Polek Castle have disappeared for no apparent reason for two consecutive years, and more than fifty of them, including the Servants, have disappeared in total. The local High Lord, Viscount Bard, organized an investigation and reported to the Orthodox Crusades, but the final results are unknown, and there is no indication that the inquisitors of the Holy City were dispatched. ”

So many people have disappeared, but the end result is still the same?

Su Cheng was quite surprised by this. After all, logically speaking, the problem of this castle has already been reported. Leaving aside whether a high lord would sit idly by and watch this obviously problematic castle exist, it is impossible for them to tolerate such evil in their diocese for a long time, given the purpose of the Orthodox Cross.

Returning the dagger to his inventory, Sioux City stood up from the ground and looked at the parchment roll again with a solemn face, before handing it to Cindy for a moment.

Now, Sioux City has basically determined that what happened in the castle was triggered by an evil spirit curse named TS-144. This item was originally in the custody of the military of the Realm of the Dead, but what happened in the middle caused the item to leak out and end up in the Orthodox Cross diocese.

In order to recover TS-144, the Undead Realm sent at least two professional troops to help each other, one overt and one in the dark, but in terms of results, they obviously ended up in failure - at least, Sioux City didn't think that a guy who had lost his calf could escape the hunt of the hounds.

Similarly, the investigation team organized by the Grand Lord Viscount Bard had probably suffered the same tragic result, otherwise there would be no explanation why this strange castle still exists.

The only thing that Sioux City doesn't understand now is why the Orthography Sect hasn't sent personnel to solve the matter here. You must know that exorcising evil spirits is their old job, and in this kind of supernatural event, a priest's profession is enough to top a squad of warriors, and it happens in their territory, no matter in terms of strength or power, it is impossible for this situation to occur at all.

Thinking like this, suddenly, a mysterious name suddenly appeared in Sioux City's fast-moving head--

"Dig".

This dubious task was originally published by the organization.

Sioux City even suspected that it was this organization that intercepted the report of the Grand Lord Viscount Bud, with his understanding of this organization, its power was so great that it was indeed not too difficult to influence and control a field Viscount.

It's just that if it was really "digging", then why didn't they just recycle this TS-144, but let it develop in the castle on its own?

Sioux City believes that no one likes something uncontrollable, especially those with big organizations and big businesses. Therefore, he estimated that there must be something in it that he did not know, and that it was an important part that could not be replaced.

At this moment, Sindy, who had finished reading the information on the parchment scroll, raised her head, glanced at Su Cheng solemnly, and said with a smile: "Seriously? Now it's even about the Cross Sect and the realm of the dead, isn't that what was promised? ”

"Well, even the professional team in the realm of the dead has failed, and the level of the mission is much higher than the production team expected, I estimate that this mission is beyond the scope of your participation, and I think that's why you received a mission that only needs to survive."

Su Cheng wiped off the gauntlets and the strange liquid on his body with a cloak full of holes, and then suddenly said with a gloomy face: "And for a task of this difficulty, how can the price have to be increased by two or three times......

Having become accustomed to Sioux City's out-of-the-box talk, Cindy just blinked her smart eyes and naturally changed the subject: "So let's go find TS-144 now?" ”

Su Cheng nodded, took out the blood-soaked [Bloody Border] with one hand, and stopped behind Cindy's waist with the other, protecting her from the flesh around her, and the two walked side by side, just like that, along the dark corridor to the end.

As he walked, Su Cheng seemed to remember something interesting, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, and he said to himself:

"I can't wait to discover the hidden truth here......" (To be continued.) )
