Chapter 20: Redemption, Secrets, and Retribution

As the lower levels face the erosion of the Overworld, the spread of negative energy in the human world will induce some discerning people to look directly into the darkness.

Some of these people went crazy when they saw the abyss or purgatory, and some of them didn't look crazy, but they actually went mad even more completely. This is the case of the chef in front of Zhu Peng, who was originally a somewhat handsome chef, who ran a private restaurant with his wife, had a pair of children, and lived a hard but happy life.

However, as the husband watched the scene of purgatory in the flames, the devil's laughter began to echo in his ears, and at first it would even help him solve some problems, such as using some "special" methods to make the dishes delicious, and the business of the restaurant with the devil's "help" was naturally getting better and better, but the sugar coating would eventually melt, and the poison wrapped in it would spread wildly.

As the young chef became more and more convinced of the whispers in his ear, the devil began to reveal to him something that might be, such as his wife's infidelity, such as the overly good-looking children.

In fact, the chef's wife is not unfaithful to her husband, and the children are his own, but the biggest fear in the chef's heart is actually the fear of the end and the darkness, and he knows that in such a future, it will be difficult to live on his own. In the final analysis, the devil's whisper in the ear is just an introduction, it can completely erase the guilt in the chef's heart by telling all kinds of possibilities, when the chef himself is determined to gain strength, his wife is also unfaithful, and the children are his own and not his own, as long as he thinks, who can't count some of the other party's sins in life, and then magnify them tenfold and hundredfold to assist himself in swinging that crazy knife.

After killing his wife and children and cooking them, it is very easy to attack other people, and it is very difficult for migrant workers to manage statistics, and he is secretive enough, but over the years, hundreds of people have been cut and cut into all kinds of purgatory delicacies in Hell's Kitchen.

By the time Zhu Peng made his move, this abomination butcher had been strengthened to the level of a legend by the power of the lower plane, and coupled with the difficulty of searching for it, it was a proper A-level mission.

The surrounding flames rushed all night, from time to time a car was detonated by the high temperature, the runes around Zhu Peng's body switched from time to time, and his footsteps changed and wandered around the butcher to hate assassination, every time there was a blazing and strong forbidden wind blowing, it must be the butcher's hateful fat body that shrouded it. The long sword and the two big swords are staggered to attack and kill, and it seems that the fight is very fierce, but in fact, the weapons collide with the sparks, and all kinds of sword marks on the fat body of the abomination are increasing, in addition to Kelly's "Flame Enhancement" spell, Zhu Peng's Paladin attack sword skill "Revenge" is not low in level.

Swordsmanship: Vengeance

Rank: Second-Order Advanced Swordsmanship

It is recommended to practice swordsmanship first: sacrificial, white-hot

Interpretation: In addition to increasing the attack power of swordsmanship, this attack swordsmanship can also convert the holy power in the knight's body into flame, lightning and cold damage, which is a swordsmanship suitable for use in any situation, if you put enough time and energy into revenge swordsmanship, the enemy who is hit will not only suffer physical damage, fire and lightning damage at the same time, but also become slow due to cold energy, and the time depends on the opponent's resistance, which can often last for several seconds.

Under the high-frequency blow of Zhu Peng's wielding double swords, the butcher hated that even if the blood volume and resistance were both high, there was no chance to break free from the sword strike, when the paladin finally stabbed the back of the giant man with the back of the double sword, Kelly couldn't suppress the cheers of emotion, but the next moment the back of the abomination broke, and a charred woman and two young children drilled out of it to grab Zhu Peng's armor and double swords, and the terrifying and piercing screaming and ghost crying made this space feel like a ghost prison in an instant.

At the moment when he was caught by the ghost girl and the ghost boy, the cry entered his ears, and the picture of his wife and two children before their death instantly appeared in front of Zhu Peng's eyes: the room that was originally warmly furnished and was full of blood at this moment, the expressionless man still kicked his wife one by one, and the blood spread from under her body.

"Slut, slut, slut! And you, you're a little slut too. ”

Turning suddenly, he rushed over and dragged out his crying little daughter from under the dining table, and the man slapped the little girl violently, and then picked up a sharp knife from the kitchen counter, and at this moment, the dying mother, who had lost his wife, suddenly pounced like a beast, her head was covered with crimson blood, but she tied the man who had gone crazy like an iron hoop with her arms.

"Run, run, he's crazy, run. ”

The little girl either listened to her mother's words very much, or struggled instinctively, but where could she pull her collar from the hands of the madman who was infused with evil power, and at this time, the boy who had been hiding in the corner and weeping suddenly rushed up, he hugged the arm of the madman and opened his mouth to bite violently, although the evil force was infused with the body, but the pain was still there, the man let go of his hand with a scream, and the little boy with tears on his face dragged his sister's little hand and ran outside.

"Run, run. No sooner had a smile appeared on the woman's face than a sharp knife had stabbed her in the chest, and it was also forcefully raised.

"Run, where are you little sluts going? I've locked the door, haha. Wielding a blood-stained butcher's knife, he walked towards his own flesh and bones, and the man's blood-stained face showed a maniacal smile.

At this moment, two snapping sounds came.

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, and then they followed the voice, only to see that in the position of the window, a man with black hair and black eyes in a police uniform had his cheeks pressed against the window and squeezed into a rather ridiculous shape, and he couldn't arch forward...... Behind Zhu Peng, more than ten meters below is a rushing highway, and it is not an easy task to climb up from the first floor layer by layer with the physique of an ordinary person.

He forcibly smashed the window with his elbow, knee, and head hammer, and when the policeman jumped into the house, his cheeks were bleeding from the glass cuts.

"Even though I was given this thing, I knew it didn't really mean anything. But if I don't beat you out of today, Lao Tzu will change his surname to Niu. He took out the gun on his waist, and then threw it aside, the man with the knife saw this, and took a step forward to swing the knife and stab, at this moment his body infused with evil power is stronger than Zhu Peng's ordinary physique, but Zhu Peng's fighting experience is too rich, his eyes are staring at the man's shoulders, and the other party knows where the other party's knife is stabbing when he is in his hand.

The two sides are staggered, the distance is closer, Zhu Peng's left fist rises and slams at the bridge of the opponent's nose, with a strong blow to weak, plus it is a dead hand without scruples, even after the punch of the ordinary human body, there is still a clear sound of bone cracking, ordinary people are hit the bridge of the nose for a long period of time, but the person who is infused with evil power does not, he can recover as long as he slows down, but once Zhu Peng's actions start, a series of actions are a set, if the opponent does not have a delicate enough response, the back can only be a set of consecutive hits until death, if one set is not enough, with Zhu Peng's martial arts attainments and then ten sets of consecutive sets is no problem。

Ten minutes later, when the man successfully fell, Zhu Peng's fists, elbows and knees were soaked with blood, but the other party was no longer human.

Although he broke the other party's limbs, Zhu Peng looked around, as if he was searching for something in the room, and after not finding it, Zhu Peng abandoned the man far away in the corner of the room, not giving the other party a chance to stand up again and plot against himself.

"Okay, you can rest assured now. Although your husband is crazy, but your children are fine, don't worry, everything will be handled by the police next, you know that the welfare of the orphanage is good enough, they will not suffer from cold and hunger again. Half-picked up the mother, Zhu Peng said. At this time, the man in the corner with all five limbs broken stood up strangely, he silently picked up his knife, but the evil smile just bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and when he looked up, he saw that the perverted policeman had already picked up the bench and walked towards him.

"Don't waste your time, just this thing, you just use all your strength to manipulate him to get back up a million times, he can't beat me, I can even while beating him so that I don't even know him. Five minutes later, he used a home-type murder weapon bench to smash every inch of the man's bones, Zhu Peng discarded the already broken bench and said.

(What's the point of you doing that? they're all dead, and there's no point in you doing this except to make me earn less.) Time suddenly stood still in the room, and the next moment, a crimson monster with scaly horns and hooves appeared, sitting on the kitchen counter, its dark red eyes staring at Zhu Peng, filled with a chilling malice.

"It's meaningless, but Lao Tzu is cool! It can make you make less money, and Lao Tzu is happy." With his hands spread out, Zhu Peng said like this, although he obviously knew the purgatory language of the lower plane and also had the ability to communicate spiritually, but Zhu Peng was disguised as a pure plane native at this moment, and the slightest trace of superfluity was not shown.

(As a mortal who dares to go against the devil, I'm looking forward to what will happen to you in the future.) οΌ‰

"It's as if there is a buffer between you and me, even if the lower plane swallows up the whole world, Lao Tzu goes to the bottomless abyss to be a demon, and you won't be a bastard. When the last word was spit out, Zhu Peng slammed a fist at the devil in front of him, but the evil baby-like devil disappeared instantly, Zhu Peng's punch was in the air, and the time in the room began to flow again.

"......Huh" breathed a long sigh of relief, Zhu Peng turned around and opened the locked door in the room, and let a pair of children out, when the pair of children ran out, their backs gradually disappeared into a pure white, and there was a pair of phantoms bowing deeply to Zhu Peng.

"Let's go, let's go, find a good father in the next life. When Zhu Peng turned around and returned to the room to take the woman out, he found that the woman with the cloak was snuggled in the arms of the man in the corner and wept, her fingers gently brushed the cheeks that were extremely peaceful at this moment, a thousand words, and ten thousand tenderness were all in the touch of this fingertip.

"My lord, please let me accompany him on the road. Back then, we said that in this life, no matter how rich or poor, we would never leave each other. Though...... I know he's not" Before this neurotic lyricism was finished, Zhu Peng had already picked her up by the waist.

"Fool, you have no idea what you're going to suffer with him if you stay here. That bastard is actually an additive, you and those two children are what the guy behind the scenes really wants, and I won't give it any left. After speaking, Zhu Peng didn't give the woman in his arms a chance to talk more at all, he threw her outside the room, and the woman's figure instantly melted into a pure white.

When Zhu Peng turned around again, the ground in the room had collapsed, and only under his feet and the man opposite, there was still less and less land.

In the depths of the crater-like cavern, many hairless white-skinned monsters crawled through it, their eyes red and mad to escape purgatory, but the fiery foehn swept most of them into the deep tumbling lava. As the lava rose upward, an extremely large evil aura also rose into the sky.

Looking at the rising volcanic lava, and then at the man opposite, Zhu Peng turned around and walked out, and when he melted into the pure white color, there seemed to be a hoarse whisper behind him: "Thank you......"

(Isn't this TM cheap, and he says thank you when someone beats him.) οΌ‰

........................

In the real world, there was a long time in that strange spiritual illusion, but in reality, it was only a moment.

Zhu Peng was grabbed by the ghost girl and the ghost boy who came out of the butcher's hatred, and was dragged into the most terrifying and incomprehensible fantasy world, but Zhu Peng opened his eyes in the next moment, and the armor on his body burned with pure white light...... The core enchanted Soul of Light, under the radiation of the power of the Soul of Light, the ghost girl and the ghost boy dissipated and melted in an instant, except for the butcher who was recovering rapidly with the help of the killing move, it was taken a step forward by Zhu Peng to release his double swords, and suddenly blasted out a fierce punch of the Bright Holy Power like a tiger roaring.

Along with the diffusion of holy power and electric light, the body with the most difficult vitality was quickly dissolved and purified: Heavenly Fist, the third-order mystical fist of the Holy Mountain Monastery, although Zhu Peng comprehended it, the holy power in his body was originally not enough to exert it, but with the full activation of the legendary armor covering his body, with the power of the equipment, Zhu Peng completed this punch ahead of schedule, and it was indeed the most prominent offensive killing move of the paladin professional.

When Zhu Peng used his long sword to cut off the butcher's disgusting heart and stomach pouch, Kelly had already driven a sports car and stopped beside him on a beautiful drift, although Kelly is a country girl, but there is a special driving course in the Holy Mountain Monastery, a demon hunter with outstanding academics, not to mention sports cars, even helicopters should be able to drive.

"Uh, this is our trophy?" Looking at the heart and stomach pouch that Zhu Peng was carrying, Kelly asked with some disgust.

"The heart can be used as a potion for potions, and this stomach is even more incredible, and the stomach of abomination is an excellent staple for making storage equipment. "Get in the car and take a bag to load these two things, the car is stolen, although I don't feel embarrassed, but it's always bad to make people bloody, in case they go back to the police, it's more or less a trouble.

The next moment, Kelly drove away, the crimson sports car like a ghost in the burning night.

About ten minutes later, the sorceress at the feast arrived at the ruins of the battlefield, reaching out to pick up the remnants of the flesh in the pit, and even sniffing it under her nose.

"The textbook swordsmanship crushes the blood and prevents the flow, and he doesn't even make a mistake from the beginning to the end, which is really powerful...... Excited. Behind the witch came a strong man with a heavy axe in both hands, his thick braids were tied, and his whole person exuded a daunting sense of fierceness.

In addition to the mutual snooping of the hired people, the battle situation here is also transmitted to the Ruda family's mansion through the ultra-remote monitoring system, Caroline Ruda can be said to be monitoring the movements of all the invitees, no way, this determines the future fate of the Ruda family, so she can't help but devote herself wholeheartedly.

"Miss, I'm afraid that the master has found the secret book now, the number of demons in the dungeon has increased sharply, and the family's guards are almost overwhelmed. The bald old butler whispered a reminder beside Caroline, but what she got was the constant determination of the head of the house.

"If you can't kill your father, what if you keep the cold fog? This is the destiny that every generation of my clan will face, so let's continue according to the original plan. ”

At the same time, Zhu Peng, who was on top of the crimson sports car, was thinking in the back seat, he suddenly opened his eyes, and said at the same time: "Kelly, what do you think these five people invited by the Luda family have in common?"

β€œ...... An Amazonian sister, a witch, a barbarian who seems to be very powerful, and a sword-wielding mage of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, have one thing in common...... These people come from all over the world, and among them, oh, by the way, they don't seem to be very old, especially you, the senior, who is a recent graduate of the Holy Mountain Monastery. ”

"Smart, even if it is the oldest sword mage of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, he is only just middle-aged, looking relatively old but old-looking, with the power of the Cold Fog Duluda family, throwing out sixty million gold bills Not to mention inviting five legends, inviting one or two legends, three or four old spicy witchers at the peak of the third order should be no problem, but Miss Caroline just spent a lot of money to hire us newcomers, why is this?" Zhu Peng stretched out his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, and his eyes gradually showed a look of understanding.

"Senior, I can't figure out why Miss Caroline would let go of the better ones and invite us newcomers to the demon hunting world instead. Kelly thought for a moment, then shook her head a little puzzled.

"Because the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and because the veteran demon hunter knows the background of her family, Caroline she can't invite at all, because of these, so ...... Kelly, turn to Ash Alley, there are some things that have to be asked. ”

When Zhu Peng took Kelly into the Falchem hut again, the old goblin Monet's eyes flashed with surprise and displeasure, no one likes to be knocked out of the bone and used repeatedly, no one likes to be greedy and never satisfied.

"Monet, this abomination stomach pouch is given to you, this heart, you can change a few bottles of strengthening potions for me, and you can give you a few bottles, I didn't come to take advantage of you this time. As he spoke, Zhu Peng threw the cloth bag in his hand to the old goblin, Monet-Falckham was a businessman anyway, and after seeing that the contents of the bag were indeed enough to earn a lot of money, his expression softened a lot.

"What's the matter? You can't come here just to make me a fortune, right?"

"I'm asking you for some information. ”

"If it's particularly confidential information, it's also very expensive, and with just this little thing in your bag, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay the price. As he spoke, Monet held up the bag. A successful businessman must respect his wealth, and a successful businessman is often unwilling to give freely because it does not fit the thinking pattern in his mind, even if Monet only has less than five years left to live.

"It's about the Ruda family, and it shouldn't be some classified information, because the older generation of demon hunters seems to know a lot about it. ”

"Are you employed?" Before Zhu Peng's words were finished, the old goblin Monet had already said this.

"It's currently in the testing phase of the mission, but if you don't know what's going on, I don't think I will accept the real main quest of the Luda family. ”

"Clever choice. ”

"Mr. Falck, can I make my own statement about my family's private affairs? The crisp voice suddenly inserted into the conversation between Zhu Peng and the old goblin, Zhu Peng and Kelly turned around, only to see that the big financier of this mission, Caroline, the female head of the Luda family, had already taken her housekeeper and a group of guards, blocking the door.

"Miss Carolyn Ruda, this is Gray Alley, not your cold fog, what you are stepping on is my Fackham hut, stay if you want, go out if you don't want to stay, the embarrassing majesty of Ruda's house can't spread to me yet. The old goblin Monet's words of peeling the skin and dismantling the bones directly made Caroline change color, she never thought that the alien archmage who had always been kind and wealthy in the gray alley would be embarrassed by herself today for a person who had just met and had no roots in the supernatural world.

The bald butler behind him took a step forward, but was blocked by Caroline's outstretched hand. The housekeeper is his last biggest reliance, and he can't really fight with Monet Falck, who has unknown strength, especially at such a critical juncture, for the face of the Ruda family.

"The story is actually very clear and simple, the ancestor of the Ruda family is a top demon hunter, he sealed an extremely powerful demon in a mission, and channeled its power with a wonderful spell, so that the Ruda family can prosper forever. ”

β€œ...... It seems that the problem seems to be with the demon?" Zhu Peng said at the right time, making the old goblin Monet more interested in continuing to tell.

"That's right, for spells, for the application of contracts, the demon's attainments are obviously more exquisite, and after the death of the ancestor of the Ruda family, his soul was dragged into the seal...... That spell contract did make Ruda prosperous forever, and they even built the island country and the capital of cold fog on this basis, but every inheritor of the Ruda family's bloodline, his soul will be dragged into the seal to strengthen the seal, and at the same time, he will be entangled with that demon forever. ”

"Then what is Miss Caroline's purpose in hiring us, to invite us to get rid of that demon once and for all?" asked Kelly, unable to contain her curiosity.

"Don't think too highly of yourself, I don't think that the powerful ancestor of the Luda family can't handle it, we can handle it now. Zhu Peng knocked on the head of the girl next to him and said so.

"When the ancestor of the Ruda family sealed that demon, the five-member legendary demon hunter team finally died so that only the ancestor of my family was left, and in the end, he couldn't kill the evil demon, so he could only barely complete the seal. Caroline interjected, and Kelly was so stupid that she stopped talking.

"And what did you hire us for?"

β€œ...... Killing my father, he wanted to break the seal so that his soul would no longer be entangled with demons after death. It can be seen that Caroline made a lot of determination when she said such a thing, and as soon as the voice fell, the room was silent, after all, she was going to kill her father.

"Father was originally also a staunch guardian sealer, after all, no one knows what the demon will do once it is freed, my Ruda family has sealed it for thousands of years, and this cold fog capital, and this country, everything is likely to be completely destroyed. But since my father was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago, everything has changed, he is more and more afraid of death, and he is even more afraid that he will fight with that terrible demon forever after death, so half a year ago my father rushed into the underground palace that the family has guarded for generations, and since then all kinds of monsters have been pouring out of the depths of the underground palace, as the contemporary head of the Luda family, I must stop him, even if he is my father. Caroline Ruda's gaze grew more determined and cold.

At this point, the coherence gradually became clear.

No wonder the Luda family can't invite the legendary boss, or the old qualified demon hunter, this kind of contemporary family head does the work of the previous generation of the head of the family, this kind of child wants to kill Lao Tzu, no matter whether it is completed or not, it is easy to be unpleasing inside and out, especially the matter of the Luda family is still so deep, the task is completed to overturn the father of the contemporary head of the family, and the task cannot be completed and the demon who has not died for thousands of years is sealed, this is definitely the rating of the S-level task, not only complicated, but once it misses, it is a catastrophe at the level of destroying the country.

........................

"Mr. Vicsy, Hell's Kitchen is an A-level mission, and the main quest to find out the Ruda family is the second A-level mission, as the head of the Ruda family, I have fully recognized your strength, if you are still willing to continue to participate in this mission, then I will welcome you at the Ruda house in twelve days, if you are not willing to continue...... The previous payout is still valid, and the 20 million will soon be credited to your card. With that, Caroline turned to leave, the bottom had been cleaned by Monet, and it would be a bit humiliating to not leave.

On the same day, Monet, the old goblin who said goodbye to Fackham Hut, Zhu Peng and Kelly returned to the hotel. Caroline spoke very much, 20 million was quickly credited to the account, Kelly could get 40 percent of it, Zhu Peng did not deduct the equipment money on her body, and directly transferred the money to the girl, he was more busy at this moment to consider whether to participate in the main quest of the Luda family, the big benefits are often risky, and vice versa, if the island country will be destroyed, but because of Zhu Peng's intervention and turn the tide, the power of fate obtained by plucking the strings of fate will be extremely abundant.

But if you miss and die here and bounce back to the main world, then you can only hope that Charlotte has locked the coordinates of the world, otherwise you will be busy with nothing.

When Zhu Peng was thinking, the door of the room had to knock on the door, Zhu Peng only heard the sound and rhythm and knew that it was Kelly, this stupid little cow usually didn't even change the rhythm of knocking on the door, if it wasn't for the fact that he was still smart when he was doing other things, he wouldn't have taken it with him anymore.

"Knock knock," Kelly knocked on the door again.

"Whew...... Wait, I'm here. Because of the abundant time, Zhu Peng, who was a little undecided, was somewhat muddy because of repeated speculation, he walked over and opened the door, but he was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, accompanied by a fragrant wind, a pair of murder weapons crashed into Zhu Peng's arms.

"Senior Weixi, I don't think I'm worth eight million when I think about it, and I will cause you trouble to learn things by your side, but you still give me so much money...... I'm not saying I'm worth eight million, but, but I'm right, I don't have anything else to like except this pair of nasty people. Saying that, Kelly also stretched out her pink tongue and licked Zhu Peng's left ear according to the skills she had just checked on the Internet, and at that moment it was jerky and charming, which made Zhu Peng, who had not eaten meat for a long time, boil all over his body.

The bathroom of the top box is very large, resplendent and full of mirrors to add spice, Kelly was thrown into the bath, and then Zhu Peng pressed her head to wash off the heavy makeup painted on her face, she has never used cosmetics since she was so old, this time for "repaying the favor" really spared half a catty on his face, Zhu Peng was so bold that he was also frightened at the moment he opened the door, if it weren't for his eyes moving down to recognize the identity of his assistant from the distinct secondary sexual characteristics, it was really a fist of heaven and blasted out.

"You don't sleep well in the middle of the night, learn to repay the kindness of other people's flesh, repay the kindness, learn to paint heavy makeup almost scared Lao Tzu out of heart disease, you can be regarded as capable, I have seen so many monster illustrated books, you are the first in terms of horror, you will paint this kind of heavy makeup when you give me assistance in the future, I guarantee that the opponent's first reaction when he sees you is to hide!"

"Woo...... It's deep and long, and the chopsticks are suffocating. Being soaked in the bath by Zhu Peng's head, Kelly, who was wearing a gauze dress after Zhu Peng let go, stood up suddenly, and for a while, the whole room was full of the young girl's graceful curves and collagen-filled crystal skin.

Looking at the scenery reflected in the four-sided mirror in front of him, Zhu Peng's heart fire that he had just suppressed became fierce again.
