Chapter 138: Please choose a human-like name during the cutscene
A large golden scale stands majestically in the center of the palace, next to which stands a jackal god holding a scepter.
At the same time, Lin Xiao received several prompts from the source world.
"Attention, you've entered the dungeon's hiding site, the Temple of the Dead."
"The difficult mission 'Ritual of Anubis' has begun. After completing the mission, the dungeon rewards will be increased."
"When you gain the negative status 'Curse of the Dead', you will automatically lose 50% of your Source Power and generate quest items within five seconds."
Before Lin Xiao could understand what was happening, he felt that his source power value was being transformed into a card.
However, it is not fifty percent of the source power as the system says, but two percent of one's total value, and when it reaches a certain upper limit, it stops converting.
Lin Xiao looked down at the card in his hand and saw a black heart painted on the card with a black heart like obsidian.
Lin Xiao was silent for a while.
Although my spark and source power are black...... But this heart is too dark!
"Quest item generated."
"Heart of the Dead: A heart of the dead, give it to Anubis to complete the judgment."
The source power is the life of the card master, and before the boss is beaten, the player will lose half of the source power, and the difficulty of this task is terrifying.
However, as a small world in the spiritual world, each dungeon will have its own "mission rules".
Lin Xiao decided to wait and see what happened, and not to break the rules for the time being.
He looked down and saw that the 'Falling Star Armament' had been disarmed, as if it had automatically entered a cutscene, and that he was wrapped in only a white linen.
In front of him, two humans, also wrapped in linen, lined up for Anubis' judgment.
Lin Xiao decided to talk to the guy in front who seemed to be an NPC, patted him on the shoulder from behind, and said:
"Hey, buddy, are you dead?"
The man turned around and looked blank and strange: "Aren't you dead too?" ”
Lin Xiao coughed lightly: "I can't explain it for a while...... My name is 'Player 2P', what about you? ”
"What a strange name."
The man muttered, and said calmly:
"My name is Ani, and I was a scribe in Moon City, and I came with my king to explore the afterlife."
"Your king?" Lin Xiao looked at the figure in front.
"Yes, he is the pharaoh of Moon City, the king I seek." Arnie said.
At this time, the pharaoh, who was at the front of the line, wearing a yellowish linen, looked back commandingly, looked at Lin Xiao, and said with some disgust:
"The slaves buried in the underground tomb also strayed into my death ceremony...... Hum. ”
Pharaoh turned his head and said no more.
Lin Xiao didn't have any plans to get angry with an NPC, but was curious about how to clear this task.
"You are a scribe, why did you accompany the pharaoh to the ceremony, not the queen?" Lin Xiao asked.
A hint of loneliness flashed in Ani's eyes, and he said calmly:
"I am the wisest man in Moon City, so the Pharaoh ordered me to be buried with him, and I can sing the praises of his exploits in the face of death and the 42 judges."
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned.
Anubis's verdict ceremony, there is actually a jury?
Soon, he saw a very professional trial process:
Forty-two shrines were carved out of the golden walls, and 42 minor gods sat in the shrines, and they talked to each other.
Pharaoh walked to the front of the golden wall, facing the 42 shrines, and said respectfully:
"O Righteous Lords, I am not guilty, I have done no evil to men, I have not mistreated livestock, I have not committed violence against the poor, I have not slandered slaves......"
He finished reciting his long words and waited patiently for the verdict, and the deliberations of the 42 minor gods grew louder and louder, like a raging wave, and the words smashed into Pharaoh's face like arrows, repeating incessantly:
"You are guilty! You are guilty! ”
Pharaoh's face turned ugly, and he glared at the scribe behind him.
The scribe stepped forward and faced the judging gods, his face unchanged: "O lords of justice! It is harmful and unjust for God to teach us not to rebel against the Lord we serve, to turn our backs on Him as the waters of the Nile that rise out of the Nile! I believe that my king is not guilty! ”
Lin Xiao sighed a little.
Ancient Sharo was a slave country, so their values were different from those of modern times.
Despite his foolish loyalty, the scribe could be called loyal.
The minor gods in the shrine examined Arnie, divided into guilty and innocent factions, and the noise echoed in the Hall of the Dead. At this time, Ani showed a scarab amulet, which had a strange magical power, so that the discussion stopped, and the shrine said in unison:
"You are not guilty! You are not guilty! ”
Finally, it was Lin Xiao's turn to accept the jury's verdict.
When the 42 little gods saw Lin Xiao coming, their eyes widened in horror, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying, and their voices were sharp:
"You are guilty! You are guilty! ”
Lin Xiao's expression was calm, and he had already changed into a broad-shouldered black windbreaker 'Fimbul Winter', pinched a card between his fingers, and injected it with pitch-black flames.
Scarlet Spear, Liberation Form!
Click.
The bullet enters the cartridge, the turntable spins around and returns to the revolver, and it snaps back to the revolver with a crisp click.
Lin Xiao raised the revolver, aimed the muzzle of the black hole at the 42 shrines, moved slowly, and said lightly:
"I'm sorry, I'm not hearing well, guys."
It was as if the neck was grabbed, and the entire temple of the dead was silent.
Pharaoh and Arnie, both of them looked at this "slave" blankly.
"Why haven't I ever seen that swarthy thing?" Pharaoh asked.
"I don't know." Arnie smiled wryly.
"And his clothes, why aren't we the same?" Pharaoh asked.
"I don't know!" Arnie sighed.
The 42 shrines were dead silent.
From the thick black muzzle of the gun, they felt an extremely terrifying deterrent.
Gollum, the God of Judgment swallowed their saliva, and they were silent for a long time, and suddenly they said loudly:
"You are not guilty!! You are not guilty!! ”
Pharaoh and Arnie looked shocked.
How can you pass the trial like this?!
Lin Xiao rotated the revolver, inserted it back into the waist of the windbreaker, followed Ani and Pharaoh in front, and said:
"There's one more level, it's heart weighing, right?"
When Lin Xiao had a friendly exchange with the jury just now.
The burly and majestic jackal god has not made any moves.
He stood there justly and coldly, patiently waiting for the three men.
The first to be weighed in the heart was the Pharaoh, who held a trembling heart in both hands and nervously swung it to the side of the great golden scale.
The jackal god nodded indifferently and placed an ostrich feather on the other end of the scale.
According to legend, this feather symbolizes 'truth' and can be used to measure the sin of a person's heart.
The majestic and dignified jackal god, regardless of his identity, knelt on one knee, was extremely just, and stretched out his hand to move the weight on the golden scale.
At both ends of the scale, the heart and feather shook up and down, and eventually, the heart fell violently!
"How is that possible!" Arnie lost her voice.
Pharaoh is also guilty!
Pharaoh's face turned pale, and he staggered back, and said in despair:
"Impossible...... I am Pharaoh! How can it be guilty! Anubis, Anubis, please give me another chance! ”
The jackal god stood up expressionlessly, and the eyes of the black-faced wolf seemed to be burning with cold flames, and he indifferently pronounced the verdict:
"Thou hast abused the authority of Pharaoh, and thou hast deprived thee of the right to live and die."
He reached out and grabbed the heart and threw it at the blazing brazier.
A crocodile burst out of the brazier and devoured the pharaoh's heart.
The pharaoh let out a heart-rending scream, and his form dissipated into powder.
"Why, that's the ......" Ani's face turned pale and cold sweat dripped, as if his faith had collapsed, in disbelief.
"All men are created equal, and even Pharaoh is not necessarily nobler than a slave."
Lin Xiao patted Ani's shoulder and said broadly: "The sins committed by your master should not be borne by you, don't worry." ”
Ani was in a trance for a long time, his eyes were red, and he looked at Lin Xiao gratefully: "You're right, player 2p." ”
Lin Xiao: "......"
In the cutscene, when I saw my ID, I suddenly came out of the play......
Immediately, Arnie walked firmly towards the jackal god, held his heart in awe, and set it at one end of the scale.
Regardless of his status, the jackal god indifferently knelt down on one knee in front of Ani and adjusted the golden weight.
Under Ani's nervous gaze, the hearts and feathers at both ends of the scales shook, and finally the feathers fell.
The jackal god stood up and looked at Ani with a hint of softness in his gaze:
"I pronounce the verdict, and you are not guilty."
Ani's back was soaked, and he saw the door open behind the jackal god.
The door is lit up with a beautiful white light, and through that door, you can reach the sacred place of the Sala people's dream, 'Reed Field'.
Ani passed Anubis and the Golden Scale, walked to the door, looked back at Lin Xiao, and said seriously:
"My friend, I'll remember your words, Player 2P."
Lin Xiao: "......"
In the Hall of the Dead, only Lin Xiao and Anubis were left to confront each other.
Lin Xiao hesitated, and manifested the task item 'Heart of the Dead'.
Anubis's pitch-black jackal head, his eyes shrunk slightly:
"What is this?"
Lin Xiao: "The heart for weighing." ”
Anubis looked at the heart and felt that his mind was a little out of track.
You call this black thing a heart?
And.
There is more than "arrogance" in sin.
There is also "rage", and "sloth".
There is even a hint of "greed......
Anubis had a subtle expression.
Of the seven original sins that even the gods fear, you alone have four of them!
You're not human, you're more demon than a demon god!
What did he go through to collect sin like a treasure......
What kind of huge background will a human being who can possess the power of the Demon God's origin have?
Anubis exudes human hesitation,
It's not that He is afraid, but the main thing of original sin is not under His control.
Moreover, even the gods will be tainted with original sin, and it is easy to go wrong in a random judgment!
Lin Xiao has already put her heart on the scales.
Boom!!
Anubis's pupils widened, and his eyebrows raised.
There is no need for a trial!
That being said, the process must be fair and equitable.
Anubis knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Xiao to adjust the weight, but the falling heart showed no sign of rising.
Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Am I ...... Didn't pass the ceremony? ”
Anubis was speechless, reaching out to grab the heart, his eyes changing suddenly.
Pitch-black flames spread upwards along His wrist.
This flame is more like it comes from another dragon of creation, the 'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation'.
There was a hint of incomprehension and jealousy in the eyes of the jackal god.
Who is he?
While possessing the power of the demon god, it can also be related to the creation of the black dragon!
"You are guilty! You are guilty! ”
Seeing the scales falling, the little god in the shrine shouted.
A crocodile rushed out of the brazier, opening its teeth and dancing its claws, as if seeing a delicacy, and flew to bite Lin Xiao's heart.
This crocodile has the body of a lion, named 'Amit', and is responsible for devouring the hearts of sinners.
However.
As Amit bites her heart.
The heart, which was made of source power, burst like a bomb, and the pitch-black flames devoured Amit in turn!
Thundered!!
The explosion shook the entire Temple of the Dead.
The jackal god glanced at Lin Xiao strangely.
Is your heart impersonated with Source Power?
That's too cunning, isn't it?
No, he can be called a 'demon god', and he would indeed do this kind of thing!
Lin Xiao looked at the crocodile monster screaming in the pitch-black sea of fire, his eyes lit up, he took out the 'blood source', and raised his hand to make up for it.
Boom!!
The large bullet shattered, and the fragments burst through the crocodile monster.
The corpse decomposed into light particles, forming a card that fell into Lin Xiao's palm.
"Hellfire (Epic Material): The monster 'Amit' in the sea of fire in the underworld spits flames that have the effect of continuous incineration."
Lin Xiao bowed his head in satisfaction.
'Hellfire' is not only found in Amite, but also in underworld creatures such as three-headed dogs.
The reason why the quality is only epic is because Amit itself is of a lower level.
However, as the main material for the fourth-order breakthrough of glutinous rice balls, it is enough!
The 42 shrines were silent.
The little gods stared blankly at the man in a trench coat and holding a revolver, opened their mouths wide, and hurriedly hid back in the shrine.
The jackal god held a scepter in his hand, standing still, with a strange look in his eyes.
Amit is responsible for punishing sin, but it is eliminated by "sin".
And as a projection of the consciousness of 'Anubis', the jackal god will not take action himself, because it is unjust.
What's more, taking action in person may not necessarily eliminate the "big sin" in front of you......
The jackal god pitch black wolf had eyes in his head, a trace of remembrance, and he sighed lightly in his heart.
The arrogance of the original sin alone cannot be extinguished even by God's intervention.
And the man in front of him has collected more than one "power of original sin".
It's incomplete, but with just one of my minds, it's really hard to do!
"Tell thy desire, then." The jackal god was indifferent and decided to negotiate with Lin Xiao.
"Please send me away from the Temple of the Dead...... Wait a minute......" Lin Xiao glanced at the seventh-order jackal god, his eyes flickering slightly.
There is a seventh-order boss in the sixth-order dungeon, which is similar to a plot kill, and the player will definitely lose if he shoots at the jackal god.
But I'm different...... If the Jackal God has a blood bar, he can really burst out of the legendary card!
The jackal god was a little hairy by Lin Xiao, and planned to knock on the scepter and send him away quickly, but saw Lin Xiao shaking his head to himself.
Forget it, I still have a good impression of Anubis, after all, he is a god who represents 'fairness'.
There is no need to risk offending Him and attack His consciousness.
Airplanes!!
The Jackal God didn't care about 'Amit' being killed by this kid, and struck the scepter like a plague god, and a teleportation light shrouded Lin Xiao.
"You have left the dungeon hiding place, the Temple of the Dead."
"70% completion of the difficult quest 'Ritual of Anubis', rewards: Scarab Beamulet, Superb Obsidian, and Master-level Source Power Crystal."
The completion rate is only 70 percent......
Lin Xiao can also understand.
After all, he killed the monster 'Amit' by himself, using an unconventional method of clearing the level.
Lin Xiao looked at the other golden coffin.
I just don't know, how is the progress of clearing the first list......
……
