26 Jihad initiators
The only sound of flipping books and clocks ticking in the study room was very quiet at the moment.
However, there was a strong light outside the window from time to time, and some faint horns, which was the reason why there were cars passing by on the side of the road.
Xue Jiu was reviewing his homework at this time, so his expression was focused, and he even wore a soundproof earmuff on his head to avoid being disturbed by some trivial sounds.
It wasn't until she finished reading the estimated number of pages that she closed the book in her hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and then habitually looked at the phone next to her.
There is a lot of information on it, but most of it is not worth replying, and the only thing she cares about is a passage sent by her best friend half an hour ago-
"I've been imprisoned by NPCs here, damn it, these guys are so quick to turn their faces."
What nonsense have girlfriends done again?
Xue Jiu was the first to think of this possibility, unlocked his phone and asked, but the other party did not reply immediately, as if he was busy.
Therefore, she opened the software with a triangle sign in her mobile phone and selected one of the same Meng Hui columns.
There are not many people in the Tongmeng Society in that closed city, but more than a hundred people are not small, so if there is any accident, someone will definitely know, so she is going to ask here.
But in fact, she doesn't need to take the initiative to ask, there are already relevant posts in the guild's exclusive private section.
The poster is a player named Pig Looking Up at the Sky, who is one of the "One Hundred Singles and Eight Sauces" known to outsiders.
And the content he posted is also very intuitive, from the perspective of being in a square, he filmed the whole process of the teenager with the nickname "Ben Fairy Mengda" above his head from appearing here, to releasing a large amount of dense fog to corrode and collapse the cathedral, and then to being surrounded by heavy surrounding.
"The president is really hidden."
He finally commented at the end of the post, "I made such a big scene without making a sound." ”
"I'll just say, why won't the president be attacked by monsters before, it turns out that there is a story quest on his body."
There are a lot of guild members following the thread.
"Don't know what the reward is? But it must be awesome. ”
"But then you won't be able to mix in there, will you?"
……
"Probably not."
A player who was also in the Sunken Land commented, "If we are expelled, there will be no way to replenish the food and resources in this city. ”
……
"In fact, this incident has not been short for a long time, except for the president who was invited to tea, the rest of us have not been arrested at all, and I think the NPC is also struggling with this matter."
……
"Survival or faith, that's the question."
"There's no problem, right, it's all been cheated like this, and you still believe in chicken feathers?"
……
"You ask what it is like to ask people who have obviously not been in contact with religious believers."
……
……
—————
"So what the hell are we players? It was said to be an evil spirit before, then it was said to be a divine messenger, and now it has become a devil's spokesman? ”
……
"Those ghosts are very interesting, and if you touch them, you can suck them into your body."
……
After reading the replies in the post one after another, Xue Jiusui already knew the general situation of the matter.
Overall, she guessed about the same as the others, thinking that it might be a hidden mission.
As a result, she didn't pay much attention to it, and was rather amused by the attitude of some members of the guild when they mentioned their girlfriends.
Because of some erroneous things, outsiders basically think that their girlfriend is a hidden game master, usually very low-key, but he can always make big things, because of this, there is even a group of admirers in the guild.
However, this is clearly not the case.
"It's also a shame that she doesn't like to team up with people, otherwise she would have been exposed......"
Muttering, Xue Jiu suddenly thought of something, turned the post to the first page again, and chose to play the video in it.
The video was long overall, and after fast-forwarding a few clicks to the approximate location in her memory, she finally found what she wanted to hear.
[When the spear of fate is stained with blood, when the fallen angel descends, Coverdale will reappear-]
"Spear of Destiny......"
This phrase is a description of a tragic fate in some mythological allusions in the game world, but it may also be a holy relic from heaven.
Xue Jiu remembered that in the noisy Demon King Transgender CG incident a while ago, the Demon King, who looked like a little boy at the beginning, mentioned the Spear of Destiny.
But it wasn't the first time she'd heard it.
Before this, she seems to have seen this word in the awakening CG of a reincarnated angel......
"And in the church, there is an angel with a spear."
It occurred to her that point.
It happened that he had finished a busy day of schoolwork and could have a short time to relax, so Xue Jiusui took out his laptop from the computer bag next to him, and chose to log in to the game after turning it on.
Her character is a young monk with a ring of hair around his head but a bare top, and is now seen on screen cleaning the courtyard of a church.
This behavior didn't surprise her, as it was the effect of an idle puppet sold in the Marketplace.
This puppet allows the player to act on their own after going offline, in accordance with the character's identity, without being noticed by the surrounding NPCs.
This is an artifact for Xue Jiu Sui, because if there is no such thing, her behavior lurking in the church must have been exposed, after all, no matter how well she disguises it, as long as she goes offline for a long time, she will always be aware of the abnormality.
So even though the puppet was expensive, she chose to buy it when she first got into the church.
In fact, this has helped her a lot, because the game character will not be distracted after using the puppet to hang up, so in the daily work of the church, she is very eye-catching, and can be called a model worker.
"I'm still working so late, go to bed early, Brother Tom."
Before she could stop hanging up, a passing deacon said a word of concern to her.
Xue Jiu replied according to the options that appeared, and the young monk in the picture smiled shyly.
"Rest first, Deacon Charlie, and I'll go to sleep when I'm done sweeping the field."
The kind deacon nodded, and walked away.
After waiting in place for a while, and seeing that the other party was completely far away, Xue Jiusui put the broom at the root of the tree on the side, and then operated the game character to walk slowly to a corridor not far away.
The game options allow you to change whether you want to walk or run during your daily rush, and most players choose to run, but if you want to live smoothly in the human world, walking is the right choice.
After all, no one in a normal person will run away if they are fine.
But in fact, it wasn't too slow, and it didn't take long for her to reach her goal.
It was a side hall with many dragon and sea reliefs, and in the deepest part stood a towering angel statue.
Unlike the normally enshrined statue, the angel statue faces east, which is on the right-hand side, and holds a weapon not a sword, but a straight spear.
It was already night, but because the windows in the side hall were built high, there was a relatively bright silver moonlight outside, shrouding the statue, making it look extremely mysterious.
There are many halls like this in the church complex, but there is only one statue like this one facing east instead of south.
Xue Jiu was very curious about this before, but because it was more troublesome, she didn't explore the specific information of this statue much.
At the moment, it seems that this is likely to be an "acquaintance".
So after a few glances and a few marks with some of the game's features, she ran outside to ask some of the old monks who were in charge of keeping the tomb at night.
Normally, the player can't speak up, but it's not rigid, for example, now, after she has marked, the character can actively talk about it when they encounter an NPC.
"Why is that statue of the Holy Spirit in Noyce Hall looking to the east?"
The old monk who was asked by him was dozing off at the entrance of the cemetery, and looked at her in surprise when he heard this.
"Don't the monks of today even learn the history of religion in the monastery?"
Xue Jiu's choice of reply after hearing this was to lower his head in shame.
Then the old monk sighed, and then explained: "That is St. Cathy, the seventh pope of our church, the bearer of the spear of fate, who waged three holy wars in his life, and after his death, ascended to heaven and became an immortal Holy Spirit. ”
St. Casey Ingersoll, this is the name of the reincarnated angel in Xue's memory when he was nine years old. At the moment, the old monk did not give his full name, but he was clearly referring to the same person.
So she continued.
"The East is the direction in which he is waging jihad?"
"No, the East is the only direction he's never set foot in."
The old monk said, smash it, smash it, smash it.
"The Holy Spirit has conquered the Ma'akoya Desert in the south of the Lya Continent, the Land of Eternal Winter in the north, the Devil's Sea in the west, and the only place he has never visited is the Newcastle Continent in the east, and it is said that he regrets this, so the statue about him will always turn to the east after the construction is completed."
"Automatic?"
"That's what it says."
The old monk nodded, "We often say that one day the Holy Spirit will return to the human world and complete his expedition to the wicked land of Newcastle. ”
"But this statement has existed since my grandfather's time, and there is no sign of it until now. Alas...... Newcastle's false god believers would even feed the children of slaves to wild beasts, such an evil act, I really hope that one day it will disappear completely from this world. ”
He then nagged about how bad the people on that continent were, and how they treated slaves as well as a pet dog.
Xue Jiu was thoughtful about this.
Actually, there are signs, but you don't know it.
So...... The one who was reincarnated as an angel and a human being was ready to wage the Fourth Holy War?
It seems really possible to think about it, and judging by what has happened so far, the Holy Spirit has not only reincarnated himself into the human world, but also his weapon has been dropped......
'But Newcastle people are not without good people.'
The old friar's words continued, "Father Bernie, you know, he is a man from the mainland of Newcastle, who has a very good character, although he has a terrible background. According to an old saying, it is the kind of holy person who comes out of the mud and can't even get a little mud on it. ”
"Out of the mud without staining? You've got it. ”
Xue Jiu secretly rolled his eyes when he saw this.
The old monk on the other side of the screen was obviously unlikely to notice her small movements, so he was still speaking.
"By the way, it is said that Bernie will be in Neuham tomorrow, and I am going to visit him, do you want to come with me?"
