Volume 2 Eternal Sleep Chapter 22 Task Sharing
[Time remaining for special missions: 29 minutes and 50 seconds]
"Finish the worship ceremony? What kind of task is this......" Ai Yu was dumbfounded when she looked at the task page that suddenly popped up, there are special tasks with a limited time, and you can unlock special clues after completing them, it sounds like a benefit sent to the door by the system, but she has never seen this situation before, will the danger be great? What happens if a special mission fails? Is there a penalty? Or does nothing simply happen?
"Let's go in first." Xu Qingran said and stepped into the room that looked very weird, turned around and stretched out a hand, Ai Yu was stunned for a moment, hesitated to hold his hand, and jumped down from the entrance of the passage with strength, because Xu Qingran was supporting her beside her, but she didn't let her fall because of inertia.
Fang Cai just looked at the appearance of this room through the narrow perspective framed by the door, and when he actually came in to see the whole room, it made Xu Qingran sigh silently.
This is a small chapel, looking at the overall layout should be a place for Christian believers to worship, Xu Qingran really knows very little about this aspect of European Christianity, but he feels that Lin Mo and Jiang Xian in the team seem to know this aspect of the matter very well, but whether it is Lin Mo or Jiang Xian in the other group, for the time-limited task to be completed now, it is too late to invite them over.
"The task says that in order to complete the worship ceremony, then we must first figure out what we need to worship, although I don't know much about European religions, but for different objects, the regulations should be different, right?" Xu Qingran said with some uncertainty, with a hint of asking for advice in his tone.
"I don't know either...... How did we not think of using a point communicator or something. It's a real headache right now. Ai Yu walked around the room, but he didn't see any useful clues, or even if there were really any useful clues, he couldn't see them, after all, he didn't have any knowledge reserves about this thing related to religion.
"It's also a duck on the shelves now...... Xu Qingran held his forehead with his hand, and he really didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed.
[Whether to choose to share the task]
【Yes or No】
Task sharing, what does that mean?
Xu Qingran hesitantly put his finger on the yes button, not knowing whether to click or not, his brain was still spinning rapidly, and who knew that a prompt window popped up again.
[Communicate the task to all teammates, and if the teammates accept the shared task, they will immediately teleport to the mission execution space]
The moment he saw the prompt message, Xu Qingran pressed the yes option, it was really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. He and Ai Yu were worried about how to complete the sacrificial ceremony mentioned in this task, and the system actually prompted the method of task sharing.
And he was lightly dyed and sober.
Shen Junyao clapped her hands back and forth happily, cleaning up the dust on her hands that was not there in the first place, and the ball that she kicked out vigorously flew towards the little boy on the stairs in an almost perfect parabola, and the place where the ball swept became blurred, as if covered with a layer of white mist. The ball smashed into the little boy and passed through his body, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, and he looked at Shen Junyao viciously.
"This kind of little trick, don't take it out and be embarrassed." Jun Yao pointed to the floor under her feet, the dark brown wooden plank flowing with a strong petty bourgeois atmosphere, typical country style, and then her hand moved to the right, pointing to the floor where the blood stains were in the distance, which was a shade between dark brown and logs, like the color of coffee and milk. The two colors of the floor drew an extremely obvious dividing line, but the dividing line was not within the normal line of sight where Jun Yao was, and Jun Yao's ability to notice that something was wrong was purely intuitive.
An innate intuition.
The world outside the door twisted, the little boy held the ball thrown by Jun Yao in his hand, suddenly let go, the ball rolled down the stairs, making a heavy impact one after another, and the skin on the surface of the ball was scratched by a certain staircase, revealing what was really hidden inside.
Yin Weiyu gasped, hurriedly covered her mouth and retreated, accidentally bumped into Lin Mo who was holding a dagger in her hand, she turned her head to face the sharp blade, and blurted out a small scream, Lin Mo reacted quickly, and a piece of rune paper slapped on her head, instantly blocking Yin Weiyu's mouth.
"Don't scream, something big will happen." Lin Mo said coldly, there were a few tears in the corners of Yin Weiyu's eyes, and the silence charm blocked her mouth, but the visual impact was too strong, and the fear still surrounded the light rain and turned into tears to vent out.
Sure enough, it's a human head.
Jun Yao nodded with satisfaction, when she picked up the ball, she found it strange, the ball used by children to play is extremely light, but she almost didn't hold it steady when she picked it up, if it weren't for the fact that its appearance was really the same as the ball played by ordinary children, Jun Yao really had to wonder if she had a shot put in her hand. While perceiving that the ball might not be the ball, Jun Yao also determined the danger factor of the little boy, regardless of whether he was medium or high, he was not a good kind after all, and he appeared here to take their lives.
Then you can't do things according to his heart.
The little boy lured himself over so loudly, it must be because he was restricted by the system to kill people, and he had to break a certain rule, and he had to take the ball himself, so he couldn't keep the ball, and he couldn't go over.
Then kick it.
The hideous human head rolled towards Jun Yao again, but it was jerked back when it was about to enter the door, due to the inertia of the human head stopped three or four meters away from the door, it straightened its head, and a pair of swollen eyes like dead fish turned around twice, glaring at the four people in the room.
[Special Quests Shared]
[Special Quest: Complete the worship ritual of the gods to unlock special clues]
[Time remaining for special missions: 29 minutes]
【Whether to join a special mission】
【Yes or No】
Special task sharing? What is this? Jun Yao was confused when she saw the prompt on the system page, Jiang Xian reacted very quickly, "No matter what this sharing is, the four of us didn't do anything here just now, and this is just the boudoir of the NPC Elizabeth, with an unobstructed view, there is nothing related to the sacrificial ceremony at all, this task is definitely not triggered by us, then it must be Xu Qingran They have encountered some thorny problem and are asking us for help." As she spoke, she clicked the "yes" button, and was suddenly surrounded by a burst of blue light, which gradually disappeared into the light and shadow.
Jiang Xian is gone?
Jun Yao and Yin Weiyu glanced at each other, then at Lin Mo, and the three of them also clicked the same button.
The next second, Jun Yao found herself standing in a room lit red by dim candles, and she was facing the mahogany table and saw thirteen red candles on the table, as well as a silver cross the size of a palm.
This is where the worship ritual is done?
"What a devout believer......" A slightly sarcastic voice came from behind her, Jiang Xian was clasping her hands on her chest, leaning against the door, she was holding a compass in her hand, and the red pointer was facing her.
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Qingran and Ai Yu looked at the four people who chose to join the mission in the corner, and sure enough, there were no Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao, it was estimated that they listened to Ai Yu's threatening and intimidating words, and they really stayed where they were, and they didn't do anything superfluous.
Jiang Xian handed the compass in her hand to Xu Qingran and Ai Yu, "Well, the direction behind me is due north, and the direction I am facing is due south." Looking at the layout of this chapel, it should be used by Christians. However, it doesn't really matter what religion you believe, because in European religions, the East or the West is the direction of faith. ”
Except for Lin Mo, the others present were confused.
What direction do you want?
"So to speak, this mahogany table is a place of prayer, and its orientation must be in the direction of Jerusalem or Mecca, but it will not be southward in any way." Jiang Xian walked all the way to the mahogany table, she reached out and picked up one of the candles and looked at it carefully in her hand, revealing an extremely disgusted look, "This is a virgin candle." ”
"Virgin candles? What's that? ”
"It's a candle made from virgin blood, which was considered a kind of magic in the Middle Ages." Jiang Xian explained, Xu Qingran paused when he heard the evil art, and asked rhetorically, "This is also a method of the Wu Clan?" ”
"Witches? This is a Christian chapel, and how could believers who are a strong advocate of 'witch hunting' tolerate the appearance of filthy witch things in such a holy place? Jiang Xian stretched out her hand to extinguish the candle flame, threw the candle on the ground, and her foot stepped on the red candle, which immediately dyed the small piece red, "This is a dirty thing that devout believers have done by following God." ”
"The mission is for us to complete the sacrificial ritual, so what exactly are we going to worship?" Xu Qingran was puzzled by Jiang Xian's sudden ridicule and emotion, but he didn't have time to think about these superfluous things that had nothing to do with the task, he just wanted to complete the task within the limited time.
"The Christian chapel is, of course, the Father in heaven." Jiang Xian's hand caressed the mahogany table and touched a line of small print, confirming the content on it, which reminded the believers of the chapel's position. As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mo spoke, "It's just that before we start, we have to find something here, and we have to destroy something." ”
"Why destroy something? Is there anything out of place here? Yin Weiyu asked puzzled, Lin Mo's gaze had already fallen on the hideous monster sculpture on the wall in front of him, and he didn't seem to have the energy to answer her question.
Jiang Xian's right hand waved on the neatly arranged row of candles on the mahogany table, the candles were all extinguished in an instant, and the entire chapel was dark.
She threw the extinguished candles on the ground one by one, and then stepped on them, red flowers bloomed on the ground, and Jiang Xian spoke, "In Europe, people regard thirteen as an ominous taboo number, even if they don't worship, even in daily life, they will try their best to avoid things related to thirteen. In such a sacred ceremony, thirteen virgin candles were lit and placed on the table, still facing the south. It's the first time I've seen such a 'devout' believer. ”
Lin Mo reached out to the monster statue in front of him, and sure enough, he took out a white mutton fat candle from inside.
Jun Yao reacted very quickly to the left side of the mahogany table, grabbed the two feet of the table, and tried the weight, she looked at Jiang Xian, "It's not very heavy, but if you move it, it will inevitably make a sound, and it's not easy to control." ”
Jiang Xian was stunned for a moment, a little crying and laughing, she pointed to the things on the table, "The table is not a necessity, but the silver cross on it is really useful." ”
Ai Yu asked in a low voice, "Do we still need to find anything?" ”
Lin Mo handed the white candle to Jiang Xian, and then shook his head at Ai Yu, "No need, this ritual is extremely simple, just get rid of the evil thoughts that shouldn't exist, and have a pious heart." But we have to go out, and no one who is not involved in the ceremony can stay in the chapel. ”
"Okay." Yin Weiyu took the lead in crawling back into the passage from the door, and then Lin Mo and Ai Yu also went out, Jun Yao glanced at Jiang Xian twice, looked at her firm side face, and went out without saying anything.
Xu Qingran was the last person to go out, he thought about it, and still said, "Then I'll trouble you, if you encounter something, you must tell me." ”
Jiang Xian looked down at the candle in her hand, and then at the flashlight in Xu Qingran's hand.
"There's something you need help with right now......"
Xu Qingran was stunned for a moment when he climbed the passage, he turned his head to look at Jiang Xian, only to see her hand holding the candle reaching over.
"Borrow a fire."
