Chapter 627: Searching
The cold air became deeper and deeper at night, and only a hazy cold light could be seen in the dark alleys.
Several corpses emitted a black mist and were about to disappear quietly, but they were held in place by a scepter that emitted a scarlet glow.
Human faces emerged from the black mist, constantly letting out a crazy roar.
Lola was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are they?" ”
Gu Qingshan said lightly: "It's human beings—I can clearly feel that they are human beings, but their souls have already signed some kind of evil contract, and once they die, their souls will immediately go somewhere." ”
"How do you know so well?" Lola asked.
Gu Qingshan pressed his hand on the Ghost King's staff, and his mind moved.
The alley erupted into a short burst of screams, and silence returned.
"I'm a bit shallow in this area, so when I encounter the same thing, I know that there are peers here." Gu Qingshan's expression was a little dignified.
- After the death of life, the soul returns somewhere.
This is the authority of the god of death, and it is also the authority of the ghost king, so Gu Qingshan can easily detect some clues, although the specific situation is still not very clear......
Lola was interested and said, "Let's go around the main road and see if we can find some clues." ”
"Let's go." Gu Qingshan Road.
The two of them walked out of the alley and along the empty road.
In the dark of the night, everything was quiet.
There was not a single pedestrian on the entire avenue, only the rustle of cold rain.
"It's not the right time, it looks like we'll have to wait until after dawn to get some information." Lola yawned.
"Listen." Gu Qingshan said suddenly.
Bang dang! Bang dang!
At the end of the street came the sound of metal hitting the ground.
Soon.
A team of knights in iron armor appeared in front of the two of them.
They seem to be the night watchmen of the city.
The knights soon saw the two and rushed straight up.
"Walking outside so late, honestly, are you a degenerate?" One of the knights asked.
"No, I'm not a degenerate, I'm just lost." Gu Qingshan Road.
Another knight said, "Don't bother with him, just catch him!" ”
The other knights immediately surrounded the two.
- It seems that the man who spoke was the head of the knights.
Most likely a knight captain.
Gu Qingshan thought about it as he explained, "It's really dangerous to go out and walk around in the middle of the night, but you can't just arrest people like this. ”
"Why not? We are faithful servants of the Lord, guarding the city. The knight captain said coldly.
He waved his hand, and two knights came up behind him in shackles.
Suddenly, the two knights fell to the ground violently, and the pair of shackles fell to Gu Qingshan's feet.
"Wicked Fallen!" The Knight Captain shouted.
One of the knights immediately pointed his sword at the shackles on the ground and chanted a spell.
All the knights drew their swords, and layers of sharp light appeared on their bodies, and they were about to strike.
Gu Qingshan sighed and prepared to fight.
But in the next second, the knights froze in place again.
They stared at the shackles on the ground—
I saw the shackles lying at Gu Qingshan's feet, emitting a holy white light.
Soon, it flew up out of thin air and gently landed in Gu Qingshan's hands.
Gu Qingshan was secretly surprised, but saw a line of small words popping up on the interface of the God of War:
"You are a pure man."
"The shackles of the Templar refuse to bind you and prove your identity."
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
- Can you still play like this?
He looked across the side.
I saw those knights looking at him with strange eyes.
A strange atmosphere arose.
"Oh my God, that's rare."
"A Pure One."
"Legend has it that only true saints—"
"Shhhhh
The knights whispered.
The knight captain was silent, withdrew his sword, and said, "It is not safe at night, it is very unsafe, we have to be ready to fight evil at any time, and I ask your Excellency to forgive us for our recklessness."
"No problem, I understand your situation." Gu Qingshan Road.
The captain of the knights saluted and said, "Your Excellency, do you need us a place to rest?" ”
Gu Qingshan and Lola glanced at each other.
In this way, wouldn't you be in a relationship with the other party?
"Of course you do, my sister and I would appreciate it if you would make it easier." Gu Qingshan Road.
The knight captain took off the nameplate on his chest and handed it to Gu Qingshan.
The nameplate was dull and gloomy, but as soon as it entered Gu Qingshan's hand, it immediately emitted a holy light.
The darkness around was illuminated.
The side of everyone facing Gu Qingshan was illuminated by the holy mang, but there was still a deep darkness behind them.
The knight captain looked at the holy mang, lost his mind for a moment, and then said: "Go to the monastery in the northern part of the city, where you can get free food and water with my nameplate." ”
"Okay, thank you." Gu Qingshan saluted.
"We still have to patrol, so we won't stay long, remember, don't come out at night, evil has penetrated deep into every corner of the city." The knight captain admonished.
Gu Qingshan and Lola nodded together.
The knights greeted them slightly, and then hurried away.
As soon as Gu Qingshan turned his hand, the knight's nameplate was put into the storage bag by him.
"Shall we go to the convent?" Lola asked.
"Let's go through it slowly—since they say the night is full of evil, it's just the right time for us to keep checking on the situation." Gu Qingshan Road.
The two chose a direction that was contrary to the patrol and continued along the street.
Suddenly, on a bridge in front of me, there was a faint cry.
"It's on the bridge." Lola said.
"Yes." Gu Qingshan Road.
The two looked up to the bridge.
I saw a black figure standing on the bridge, looking at the endless river flowing under the bridge.
Gu Qingshan took Lola onto the bridge and walked towards the black figure.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the dark shadows gradually converge, revealing human figures.
I saw that it was a silver-haired old man in a black dress, holding a short cane in his hand, smoking a cigarette and gently tapping the railing on the bridge with the short cane.
Every time he hit the railing, the whole bridge burst into staccato crying.
Gu Qingshan thought for a while, stepped forward and asked, "Hello, may I ask how to get to the monastery." ”
The silver-haired old man waved his scepter and pointed to the other end of the bridge.
"After crossing the bridge, go straight for 500 meters." He said.
"Thank you." Gu Qingshan Road.
He ignored the old man and continued to walk forward with Lola.
He hadn't gone far before the old man's voice came from behind him:
"I've seen all kinds of people in my life, but I've never met the true Pure One—I want to ask, what is it like to be a Pure One?"
Gu Qingshan stopped.
"Actually, it's not that pure, after all, I've killed countless people." He said softly, slowly walking over to the old man's side, and standing within a sword distance.
Together, they looked at the rushing water under the bridge.
"Oh?" The old man smiled and asked, "How many people have you killed?" ”
"I can't count." Gu Qingshan Road.
The old man said, "Then you must like this sound—"
He tapped his staff lightly on the railing.
The whole bridge suddenly emitted countless weeping sounds.
"When I built this bridge, I cast the souls of 6,000 Templars in the piers to create this bridge of grievances." The old man said in a swaggering tone.
Lola shrank behind Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan laughed and said, "Six thousand? How can you get this kind of quantity? ”
"What have you done again?" The old man asked.
"Some of the dead souls who disobey me—there must be countless times more than anyone you've ever seen in this city, and I've got them all retired." Gu Qingshan Road.
The old man listened attentively, shook his head, and said, "You're not lying...... But that's even weirder. ”
"What's weird?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"In this way, you should be from our side, why do you have the name of 'purity'?" The old man was puzzled.
"Killing people is a pure thing." Gu Qingshan Road.
The old man said, "But you are the only one who is pure. ”
Gu Qingshan agreed: "It's just me." ”
Before the words fell, I saw a cold light like a star, illuminating the night sky and the river.
Rumble!
The entire bridge was wiped out in ashes, and the old man's body was wiped out hundreds of times by the sword, and it did not float up for half a day as the strong wind fell into the river.
Gu Qingshan stood in the air with his sword in his hand, and said lightly: "I prefer to kill things like you, so the world allows me to be pure." ”
