Chapter 68 Borrowing money to buy medicine
"That's right." I suddenly thought of the game maniac I met in Luogou Lane, "What's the matter with the independents?" β
After pondering for a while, Mu Lao said, "Well, the old man has always felt that the less he knows about everything, the better, thinking that in this way, he can get rid of the troubles and avoid trouble." Since you and the other party have become enemies, I will tell you all the ways here, so as to save trouble in the future. β
"Despite its name, the Independents were previously the Independents of the Three Organizations. Your friend should have told you about the three major organizations, and I won't say much about it today. An independent person is out of the control of the organization for some reason, no longer works for the organization, and only does things according to his own will, so he is called an independent person. Although he was separated from the organization, the Qimen secret technique he had obtained before was still mastered by him, so he had the power to fight with the servants, and even the ability was far stronger than that of ordinary servants. β
Hearing this, I suddenly wondered, if the independent person has cut off the relationship with the organization, he should not be able to obtain the material assistance of the organization, why is the ability to be stronger than the average effective person?
Mu Lao seemed to peek into my heart, "Hmph, little ghost, do you think it's so easy to be an independent?" Organizations don't let their members say they're independent. β
"Hmm... How do the Agents get out of the control of the organization? "I vaguely see my own hope - I will never be bound by the dawn for the rest of my life, maybe only by becoming an independent can I return my freedom!
Mu Lao's joking voice came, "Article 63 of the Dawn Organizational Law: Those with a trust value of one million or more can apply to become independent. β
One million trust points! I was poured cold water on my head, I only earned 20 trust points for a task, except for the cost of the task and the old man's 8 trust points per month living expenses, there is basically not much left, so when will I earn enough to earn this astronomical amount!
"In other words, that madman just earned enough trust points to become an independent?!" I was a little scared in my heart, this is too exaggerated, if he has such great ability, I still don't want to mess with him.
"Not necessarily. If he had been a watchman before, it would have been possible. But it is not clear which organization he belongs to. In fact, each organization is quite strict about its internal rules, so outsiders don't know about the internal rules of other organizations. β
"Oh," I nodded with a slight understanding, "you mean, the Daybreak Organization has nothing to do with the Shadow Organization, so the conditions for becoming an independent are not the same. β
"That's right. You must know that 1 million trust points is an absolutely unattainable height for most watchmen, but the organization only pushes watchmen to work for themselves through this fantastic goal. As a result, very few can really get out of the control of the organization, and most people die on their own mission......"
Truly...... Once you become an independent, you will definitely be able to get a good job in the real world by relying on Qimen secret arts, and most importantly, you don't have to run around for thrilling tasks anymore.
However, is the fate of the vast majority of watchmen so bleak, my heart can't help but be heavy. Sure enough, the organization will not easily let its servants get out of control, and the one million trust points are just to induce the fighters to work harder for this, so will my fate be the same as that of Uncle Li? - Running for trust and finally exposing the corpse wilderness due to mission failure!
"You don't have to be discouraged, little ghost. Most independents don't come from this. β
"What's the reason for that?" I hurriedly asked.
"The reason why they were able to erase the soul contract is because they all possess one thing - the Ancient Evil Phantasm!"
"Evil Ancient Treasure?"
"That's right, this treasure is made from the roots of ancient evil, and the terrifying power it contains is enough to extinguish the soul contract between the agent and the organization. In that case, the organization will only be able to find them through soul links. β
I bowed slightly, and then asked, "So...... How can I get the Ancient Evil Phantasm? β
"Little ghost, it depends on your strength and luck."
"Why do you say that......?"
Before I finished speaking, Mu Lao immediately said in a deep voice, "Okay, you've asked enough questions today, this is not a question you should be thinking about now!" Thinking too much will only disturb your mind, but for now, you should accept and earn some trust points to tide over the situation! β
Mu Lao's tone seemed a little impatient, thinking that he knew that I didn't have much trust left. If he didn't even have 8 trust points by the end of the month, Mu Lao would not be able to absorb enough power to keep him alive in the world...... What will be the situation of Mu Lao, will he disappear beside me......
No way! I shook my head vigorously, There was only one thought in my mind - I couldn't let Senior Mu die.
Raising my arm, I saw the three deep scars on itβindicating that there were only 3 trust points leftβand I knew that I didn't have much time left. Tomorrow you have to accept the next task.
Lying on the bed and turning over, there was a piercing stinging pain from the wound on the shoulder, the bite of the dried corpse, I had done the bandaging in the hospital, but the effect did not seem to be significant. To deal with the wounds of evil things, you still have to rely on the elixir in the underworld temple to heal them. But I don't have the trust to buy medicine, so I'll be patient for a few days and finish the next task.
However, in the battle of Luogou Lane, I did not directly fight the night watchman Jiang Luo, and his just corpse marks were enough to make me embarrassed. In the end, after Mu Lao entered the body, his expression was obviously wrong... As an old senior, he probably knows something about Mu Lao.
Speaking of which, if Mu Lao had been controlling my body, wouldn't it have been much easier to complete the task?
"Senior Mu, thanks to your timely action just now." I said flatteringly.
"Little ghost, don't be smart." Mu Lao immediately saw through my thoughts, "If it weren't for the last resort, the old man would definitely not make a move easily." Every soul exchange will hurt your soul and mine, and damage your longevity. The longer it stays in you, the more it hurts. If you do it too many times, your body will even have a rejection of your soul, and the rejection will be strong enough that your soul will no longer be able to enter your body and become a lonely ghost wandering outside! β
Become a lonely ghost?! My back was slightly cold, it turned out that once my body was occupied by foreign spirits for a long time, it would reject the original soul, and in the end, it would not only hurt my body step by step, but also make my soul unable to enter the body again. It seems that nothing can be opportunistic, and if I want to become stronger, I have to work hard to do it.
I was just about to fall asleep, when Mu Lao suddenly said, "Little ghost, let the old man see your injuries." β
"Oh? β¦β¦ Good. "Mu Lao asked, although I had doubts, but naturally complied.
Gritting my teeth and slowly untying the bandages on my shoulders and arms, I couldn't help but gasp.
Instead of healing, the deep wounds and bite marks festered into black-purple carrion.
"What's going on?!" My face was extremely ugly, and the scene in front of me was completely like poisoning.
"The Night's Watch seems to be a ruthless man... The corpse that wounded you has been poisoned by the Night's Watch, similar to your human rabies, and if you are scratched by a zombie, the bite will poison the corpse. If you don't get the poison within three days, you'll go mad and die. β
"So what to do?" My heart began to get anxious. I also knew that being injured by zombies would not heal easily, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.
"Hurry up to the Hades Temple, there is a sale of healing spirit powder at the counter three hundred meters east of the Evil Fall Monument, you can buy it to make tea and eat it to detoxify."
"But I don't have any money!" I said it smoothly, and I directly said that the trust value is money. Because trust is also equivalent to the currency of Hades, it is even more important to me than real-world money.
"You don't have no trust value, what's the use of talking to the old man? Don't you have one or two friends who fight people, you can ask them to borrow some. β
"But I can't get in touch with them." I said bitterly, I have never liked to ask others to borrow things, but now is an extraordinary time of life and death, I can't just care about face, but the problem is that I don't have a mobile phone, let alone their mobile phone number.
"You idiot! I've been a watchman for so long, haven't you figured out the responsibilities of the Hades Temple?! Mu Lao said angrily, "There is a Changing Stone in the southernmost part of the Hades Temple, you can contact them there!" β
"Oh, got it." I nodded hurriedly.
