Chapter Twenty-Four: The Soul Ball

"Whoa!" The knife poked its head out of the water and looked back at the phantoms fluttering in the river, a smug smile on his face.

"Doctor Qin, you're right!" The knife pinched the three magic beads in his hand, and the instructions that Qin Lun had given him just now came to mind.

Qin Lun didn't give him two magic beads in vain, and the doctor also gave him a task. The task demanded that he cause a riot on the Île de la Cité, preferably by setting fire to the city.

The Île de la Cité is the heart of Paris, but it is also a place where many cultural giants live in seclusion. The former residences and memorials of Rousseau, Zola, Hugo, Balzac, Maupassant, Monet, Gauguin, Cézanne, Van Gogh and other great masters are all on the Île de la Cité.

Most of these celebrity residences are made of brick and stone, but the interior of the building retains a large amount of wooden furniture and furnishings. Although the exterior walls of these buildings slowly spread from top to bottom and are covered in phantom flesh, this transformation is incomplete, at least not involving the internal structure of the buildings.

The knife itself is an underworld gangster, and he is very familiar with making trouble and setting fires, so it is not difficult to do this kind of thing at all. The only thing to worry about is the retreat after being discovered by the illusion.

The risk that Qin Lun said is also here, and the doctor has a guess, that is, there are no aquatic illusions on the island at present. After the knife caused a riot, as long as he jumped into the Seine, the illusion could not do anything about him for the time being.

Fortunately, Qin Lun's judgment was correct. The illusion that entered Paris through the time and space node of Guò did not have an aquatic illusion.

Whether it's Knife Ashigaru, Axe Ashigaru, Mime, or Fugaku, or Kilusom, they can't swim. Most of the phantoms have protective armor on their bodies, plus they have little water in their bodies, and their bodies are dense, so when they fall into the water, they are like weighing stones. Even if they could swim in their lifetime, with the little wisdom they have left, they will have long forgotten it.

Looking at the magic bead in his hand, Xiao Dao's face showed a hint of complexity. The most crucial conditions of the main quest one have been completed, and now as long as he survives the remaining six and a half days, he can escape from the illusionary world.

In fact, before leaving, he asked Qin Lun what to do next. The doctor did not perfunctory him, but thought about it seriously and pointed him out two clear paths.

On the first path, the doctor thought that since the current phantom was not yet capable of fighting in the water, the knife could swim along the Seine and all the way out of Paris. As long as the knife is out of the city of Paris, it will not be difficult to escape the rest of the stay.

In this era, human force is still very strong, and it is impossible for the French military to be completely defeated in just seven days and give up recovering the capital Paris.

The main quest of the newcomer reincarnation is the main difficulty of the three magic beads, and the seven-day stay can be tricky. After all, for newcomer reincarnators, as long as they can obtain three magic beads and embody courage and wisdom that are higher than ordinary people, the trial task will be considered to have achieved its goal.

The second path was more risky, Qin Lun asked him to enter the sewers of Paris through the Guò Seine, and use the underground network of Greater Paris to carry out guerrilla attacks, targeting the citizens of Paris who had become illusions.

However, Qin Lun believed that with the current situation in Paris, it might only take two days for the Phantom Demon to complete the complete occupation of the ground buildings in Paris. From the third day, infiltration of the sky, the Seine, and the underground network will begin.

The situation in the city will become more and more serious day by day, and as for how far the knife can hold out, whether it can survive seven days, even he can't predict.

Of course, if Knife intends to do this, the gain is also huge, and it is not good to be able to complete the 1000 points of faction reputation in the main quest two, and redeem a lot of good things.

Originally, Xiaodao would not have considered the second way, anyway, he had already obtained three magic beads, and he planned to put safety first and escape from Paris. However, in the battle just now, he found that arson and burning down those half-phantom buildings had actually gained more than two hundred points of prestige from the ghost clan's camp.

Looking at the three magic beads in his hand, Xiao Dao's eyes flickered slightly, and he was a little hesitant in his heart. After a while, he finally took a deep breath and dived again, swimming towards a drainage pipe on the banks of the Seine......

……

Notre-Dame Cathedral is a typical Gothic church with a unique style and rigorous structure, which looks very majestic and solemn.

The whole is divided into three major pieces longitudinally by pilasters; It is divided horizontally into three parts by three friezes, of which there are three recessed openings on the front. Above the doorway is the so-called "King's Gallery", with 28 sculptures representing the kings of Israel and Judea.

The "King's Gallery" is topped by a central section, flanked by two huge bell towers of stone columns, in the center of which is a large round window in the shape of a rosette, with a diameter of up to 10 meters, in the center dedicated to the Virgin and Child, flanked by statues of Adam and Eve.

The interior of the church is very simple, with a central bench for Catholic worship, and two cloisters separated by tall stone columns. There are numerous carvings and paintings on the altars, cloisters, doors and windows, etc., and the recesses of the colonnades on both sides treasure a large number of medieval artworks.

The hall of Notre-Dame has a capacity of 9,000 people, of which 1,500 can sit on the podium. The pointed vaulted ceilings characteristic of the Gothic architecture have a good sound amplification effect, and whenever the large organ in the hall plays the chant, it always gives a special sense of sacred beauty.

Qin Lun didn't have time to savor the elegance and sacredness of Notre Dame Cathedral, and as soon as he entered the door, his attention was all attracted by the space-time vortex at the altar.

The doctor quickened his pace, crossing the middle aisle of the two rows of benches to the front of the altar to take a closer look. I saw that the original altar had disappeared, and in its place was a dark green space-time vortex door that was level with the ground.

This space-time vortex was very similar to the space-time node of the Arc de Triomphe that Qin Lun had seen before, but the diameter was countless times smaller.

Qin Lun reached out and took out a palm-sized space-time energy collector from the storage space and threw it at this space-time vortex. The space-time energy harvester, which resembles a brick, pops out eight metal bars from both sides, floating and sinking in the center of the space-time vortex like an octopus.

However, after only five seconds, Qin Lun frowned, stretched out his hand and forcibly tore the space-time energy device from this space-time vortex, his face was a little ugly.

The space-time nodes in Notre-Dame Cathedral are five meters long and seven meters wide. The progress bar on the space-time energy device shows that it will take at least ten minutes to absorb all of its space-time energy and condense it into a space-time core. And it can't be interrupted in the middle, and after the interruption, you have to start collecting space-time energy again.

Although Qin Lun didn't know if the movement of the space-time vortex would be noticed by the illusion, he knew that he would never have ten minutes of undisturbed time. Looking at the huge temptation that was close in front of him, the doctor could only sigh helplessly.

Qin Lun's eyes flickered, with a hint of inexplicable sneer on his face. He had given Xiaodao two choices before, but he didn't expect that after only half an hour, it was his turn to make his own choice.

Hill's judgment of him was not wrong, Qin Lun didn't care about Xiaodao's life and death, he just wanted to see Xiaodao struggle in pain in a dilemma. He has never had the humanity that ordinary people should have, just like a wolf child who was raised by wild wolves since childhood, without the integration of human society, there is no difference between humans and beasts.

Although Qin Lun was well-read in Handan Prison, the prisoner's lonely life and split personality had long distorted the spiritual world of the young man, making him no longer a normal person. What's more, as early as the age of eight, Xiao Qin Lun or Little Joey had already made up his mind to embark on this destined road of fate.

After so many years, in fact, Qin Lun has always kept two secrets. One of them was that Qin Lun didn't have any previous memories of that incident, and he couldn't tell if he was Qin Lun or Joey before he was eight years old. In other words, until now, he didn't know which of the two personalities, Qin Lun and Joey, was the real him.

Back or forward......

If you can't play in person, how can you experience the fun of the game?

Qin Lun chuckled and walked towards the space-time vortex, but as soon as he took a step, the corner of the doctor's eye was shaken by a flash of light on the side of the altar.

"Huh!" Qin Lun bypassed the space-time node and walked towards a statue display in the cloister on the left side of the altar.

This small recessed stone altar houses a statue of an angel who kneels on one knee with his hands in fists, his wings intertwined on his chest, as if praying to God. The flash in Qin Lun's eyes just now seemed to come from her.

However, when I got closer, the flash disappeared again. Qin Lun frowned slightly, re-examined the stone statue, and finally found a ball of light emitting a pale red light in her closed palm.

"What is this?" Qin Lun stretched out his fingers curiously, wanting to pull the ball of light out of the angel's palm.

As soon as he touched the ball of light, the doctor couldn't help but shiver. He only felt a cold chill seeping into his body from his fingertips, as if even the law body was frozen by this chill.

In Qin Lun's death list, a hint about this blood-colored ball of light immediately appeared.

Resentful Soul Orb: This is the soul power left over from humans after being slaughtered by illusions. These soul powers belong to Catholics, and after death, they instinctively gather around this angel statue, and the entire resentful soul orb has a total of 74 souls.

74 Souls? Qin Lun was taken aback, you must know that not every human being will have a soul after death, these 74 souls should all belong to the kind of Catholics who have an extremely firm faith, and the actual number of people who were slaughtered is probably more than ten times more.

It's a pity! Qin Lun put away the resentful soul ball, looking at the other statues in the hall with a hint of regret, the phantom demon could return here at any time, he didn't have time to search for them one by one.

Maybe you can check it out again when the mission of the space-time core is completed! Qin Lun made a decision in his heart, and resolutely turned around and walked towards the space-time vortex at the altar.
