Chapter 6: Carry-on: Devil's Horn
"Demon's blood?" Su Hao sighed.
"That's right." Clark looked at Su Hao's surprised expression, but found that there was no incredulity, and continued: "Los Angeles is said to be the city of angels, but there are countless crimes in it, the people are deeply affected by it, and the political axe is also a headache, but there are not many gangs entrenched in it, but there are not a few, do you know why these gangs can be entrenched in Los Angeles for a long time?" ”
Su Hao shook his head and replied, "Please speak." ”
Clark smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Los Angeles is called the City of Angels, but in the past five years, demons have gradually appeared!" ”
"Demons?!" Su Hao was slightly surprised, but he remembered his other task "Looking for the Evil Ghost Rider", and the doubts in his heart were also less.
"Maybe you think I'm crazy, but I found this in a gang fight." After saying that, he took out a strange horn.
This horn breaks off from the bottom and is shaped a bit like the horn of an antelope, but when you look at it, you find that there is a smell of evil and death around it, which is a feeling that you can neither see with your eyes, nor hear with your ears, nor smell with your nose, but only by instinct, the feeling of death.
Clark looked at the extremely uneasy expression on Su Hao's face and said, "It's very strange." Ordinary people don't feel anything when they see this thing, and a few people can only feel a little discomfort, but you, I found uneasiness on your face, this kind of emotion should not appear on people like you" He lowered his head, glanced at the horn, rolled his throat, closed his eyes in some pain, and said: "In fact, I can also feel the deep anger that is contaminated with it. ”
Su Hao was a little nervous, and reluctantly asked, "What is this?" ”
Clark replied, "I speculate it's the devil's horns." He glanced at Su Hao, found that he had calmed down, and continued to explain: "This is what I found in a battlefield where gangsters fight, next to a poor deceased, his head, his internal organs are all gone, and the blood on his body is almost trickle-down, and it is this horn that he is holding onto." ”
"I think the reason why Los Angeles has degenerated from the City of Angels to a City of Sin in the last five years probably has to start from this horn."
Su Hao nodded and returned the horn to Clark.
"No, you take this." Clark pushed it back to Su Hao and said with a smile: "I found that this horn is similar to a kind of container, it can suck any blood, and when it sucks human blood, it will briefly turn red. After speaking, he took out a scalpel and gently wiped it on his index finger, and a drop of blood dripped on the horns, and the white horns turned blood-red.
"And when I found it, the horns turned out to be purple, and there was some purple blood flowing on it, but after a long time, the blood had long since lost its living name, and when I tried to study it, nothing came of it. I speculate that that purple blood is demonic blood. ”
Su Hao retracted his horns and asked, "Do you want me to use this to collect some demon blood?" ”
Clark nodded, and replied, "That's right, if you can collect some fresh demon blood, I think I can figure out something to deal with them." ”
At this time, Sasha's prompt suddenly sounded in his ears: "You have gained Clark's favor, and Clark is currently in a warm relationship with you." ”
"You've triggered the Quest: Searching for Demon Blood."
"Completion Condition: Collect fresh demonic blood."
"Tip 1: The blood shed by demons that have been dead for less than an hour is fresh demon blood."
"Quest tip 2: It's clear that demons are not easy to deal with and not easy to find, but according to Clark's speculation, the appearance of demons is closely related to the massive rise of gangsters."
"Note: The delegated task is a task provided to you by the dungeon NPC, and according to your performance, the delegator's satisfaction with your completion of the task is: extremely dissatisfied, dissatisfied, improvised, average, satisfied, and very satisfied."
"You've got an item: the Devil's Horn."
"Demon horns, carry-on, unequippable."
"The demon's horn discovered by Dr. Clark, which is filled with an evil demonic aura, and people with high perception can feel the deep anger coiled in it, he is the container that Dr. Clark used to collect demonic blood, and after its processing, it can store blood for a long time."
"Effect: Contains blood, it can absorb the blood it comes into contact with and hold it."
"Demonic Breath (can be turned on and off, current state, closed): It can generate demonic aura around it, demonic aura is a unique smell of demons, and enemies with insufficient strength will be corroded by demonic breath, reducing their attack, defense, and movement speed by 25%."
"Evaluation, this is a prop used to ravage the weak, and it's no wonder that the civilians of this copy are so afraid of demons."
"Rating: C."
"Note: This item is a quest item and cannot be traded, discarded, or destroyed, otherwise the quest will fail."
After reading the introduction of the item, Su Hao smiled a little happily: "Clark, don't worry, I will do my best!" And the system also tacitly accepted the entrusted mission, Demon Blood.
After chatting with Clark for a while, Su Hao chose to leave, and he took advantage of Clarke's return home from work to send him out of the hospital and gain a lot of favorability, and then returned to the hospital under the pretext of taking care of Ruth.
He looked at the people around, took out the bottle of blood-invigorating medicine, stared at the clear yellow liquid in the bottle, opened the cap of the bottle, and swallowed it at once.
I only heard Sasha slapping beside her, and said with a smile: "Congratulations Su Hao, because you have taken the consumable blood activating potion, your upper health and health recovery speed have been increased, and it is now 129 (99 + 30) points and 129 (99 + 30) points per day." ”
Su Hao smiled happily and asked Sasha, "Sasha, do you know the strength of that Doctor Clark?" ”
"Of course Sasha knows!" Sasha smiled sweetly, looking extremely happy, the reason why she was happy may be related to Su Hao's strength improvement just now. I only heard her pause for a moment and continued: "But due to the restrictions of the system's permissions, I can't tell you how strong Clark is, but I'll give you a hint to see if you can guess." ”
"What's the hint?"
Sasha whispered, her voice small but clear, as if she was attached to her ear: "The ominous aura emitted by this demon's horn can only be detected by people with high perception, and the higher the perception, the deeper the feeling of this breath......"
Su Hao listened, his brain was running rapidly, and he remembered a few words that Clark said:
"In fact, I can feel the depth of anger that is contaminating it."
"I noticed uneasiness on your face, and this emotion should never be on you."
"I'm a very good person with the ability to see people, you are not a thing in the pool, and the maintenance of order in the City of Angels is probably dependent on you."
This guy, with such a strong premonition, can also make blood-invigorating potions and discover the secrets of demons, in terms of perception and intelligence, must be extremely high.
Could it be that this guy is also a very important plot character?
Su Hao thought that he wanted to grasp as much detailed information as possible about all the people, things, and things related to him, because only by being familiar with the situation could he make the right layout.
"What's next? What to do? Su Hao was a little nervous, he found that everything he did was like a rope, connecting what he already knew with many unknown things.
Ruth, Clark, George, demons, tomahawks, vipers, ghost riders, these seemingly unrelated things, there seems to be a hidden connection between them, but they have no way of knowing.
Su Hao sat on the chair racking his brains and thinking, but he didn't have any clue.
It was late at night, and it was the time when people were most tired, Su Hao finally couldn't bear the heavy tiredness and slowly fell asleep.
