Wow......

Wow......

Wow......

A bell rang out from the dark building ahead.

Immediately, a gray-white light began to spread in the center of the complex, spreading outward, and soon, the entire ruins were enveloped.

It was an unusually pale whiteness, and the lines that reflected the building seemed blurred, and at first glance, it looked like a scene that had not yet been painted.

"What's going on?"

Cheng Shen asked.

"I don't know."

Aoki also had a solemn face, "I didn't have this change when I was here last time...... To be exact, I never got in there. ”

“……”

Cheng Shen silently used his natural ability to look into the depths.

The scene suddenly changed.

He saw that although the building was white, there was a thick darkness in every door and window that could be opened.

The bell fades.

The darkness suddenly began to spread outward as if it were alive.

In an instant.

The entire complex was once again covered in darkness.

It's like there are two very different forces in the ruins, and the two are fighting each other, the darkness always prevailing, and the light only briefly counterattacks when the bell rings.

Of course, neither of those two forces is pure darkness and light, evil or holiness.

It's the power of an incomprehensible strange curse.

"You say the 17th-century survivor once harnessed a strange power, what do you know about his abilities?"

Cheng Shen asked Xiang Aoki.

Aoki groaned for a moment and said, "I only know that he named his ability: Saint."

It seems to be a force that influences others by faith.

Details unknown......"

Facing Cheng Shen's suspicious looks, he explained with an unchanged expression: "People like us will hide our abilities, and I can't tell you why...... However, in fact, you have already figured it out. ”

"Is it because you're afraid of being cracked the law of killing?"

Cheng Shen said calmly.

“……”

Aoki's eyes changed slightly, and he didn't answer, but his silence spoke for itself.

He explained these,

It was to convince Cheng Shen that he really didn't know anything.

Although, Cheng Shen is still skeptical.

However, after looking at the button in the character panel that allows him to leave this place at any time, he decided to take the risk and continue working with Aoki.

"Hopefully you're really capable of fixing it."

Cheng Shen said to Aoki.

"I only have this path to choose, you can opt out at any time now, and you've done enough for me."

Aoki said in a deep voice.

"If I survive, I'll give you what deserves you."

He added.

"I'd rather take it myself."

Cheng Shen said calmly.

Seriously, there's a sheepskin roll in your hand, a gifted resurrection, and an immortal curse from the castle tenants.

He really wasn't afraid of how much of a threat the ordinary weirdness could bring to him.

Even if he didn't have Aoki's trip, by night, he would be ready to make a move on the two weird ones outside the territory.

Now is the time to warm up.

But.

It won't be of much use in the face of the weird beast and the soul devouring worm.

This is not as good as Da Qiang, at least he can die for himself, and the loyalty of Da Meng and the Spirit Devouring Worm has not yet reached that level.

Cheng Shen took off Da Meng's equipment.

Wear it on yourself.

He then waved the two units back to their territory.

"Let's go."

After being fully armed, Cheng Shen has more confidence in his heart.

The two are close to the town.

The divine light in Cheng Shen's eyes never dissipated, and he saw clearly that the darkness that shrouded the town was actually pieces of burned ashes, and the dead silence revealed a cold that could freeze people's souls, like a snow that would not melt all year round.

"Are those elite monsters you said still there?"

Cheng Shen tilted his head to look at Aoki.

As he approached the town, his face became even paler, and the blood in the black veins of his arms flowed rapidly, and his voice was a little harsh.

Cheng Shen saw his changes more intuitively under the real vision.

A pale corpse-strewn arm, very abruptly protruding from the cross behind him, was grasping the third pitch-black nail, and pierced the terrible nail into Aoki's left arm little by little.

The movement of his left hand visibly slowed down, as if he was no longer under his control.

But in the process, there was an aura of terror on him.

Is this the price of driving strange forces......

Cheng Shen turned his head quietly.

Xindao, when his whole body is crucified, it should be the moment when his curse erupts......

Alvine

torso

Hands

feet,

And also...... Head.

He should be able to wield the power of the curse up to three times.

Aoki didn't notice it at all, and said, "It shouldn't be there, the last time I came, they were just wandering around the periphery of the building, and once they came inside, they probably couldn't resist the strange erosion with their abilities." ”

With that, he walked forward, to the edge of the darkness, and stretched out his stiffened left hand.

Cheng Shen saw that the terrifying arm that was piercing the spike into his flesh and blood suddenly intensified its movements, as if it had pierced the bone, and made a piercing squeak, and Aoki's stiff expression revealed pain.

Wisps of bright red blood drifted from his wounds, turning into fine droplets of blood that covered every piece of ash in the air.

The ashes quickly turned red.

Then it is ablated.

And this scene is seen in the normal field of vision, that is, when Aoki stretched out his left hand, the darkness beside him took the initiative to retreat.

Cheng Shen's way of dealing with it is simpler.

Laugh at!

He lit a torch directly, and the warm light of the fire immediately dispelled the darkness nearby.

"You'd better stay away from me with your torches."

Aoki reminded Cheng Shen that his expression looked a little distorted under the light of the fire, probably because he had become a strange relationship, and the system's protection methods would no longer be effective against him, but would have some impact on him.

Cheng Shen was silent, carrying the spiny dragon shield on his back and observing the surroundings.

The territory is well developed.

The neatly paved streets, stone bricks of different colors are spliced together to form a checkered pattern, and the two sides are lined with spire tiled houses, mainly in yellow and white colors, and the windows are hollowed, like a medieval European town.

In the middle of the town, a gray-white church is built, and the bell tower at the top of the church seems to have a faint sound of bells.

"The treasures should all be stored in the treasure chest in the center of the territory, and I suspect that the church is most likely the center of the territory, and there is no need to venture into other buildings...... Can you still use your abilities? ”

Aoki looked at Cheng Shen.

He had already vaguely guessed the peculiarity of Cheng Shen's eyes.

"The strange power is so strong that it interferes with my perception, and I even suspect that there is more than one strange power here."

Cheng Shen's face was solemn.

"Is that so......"

Aoki was thoughtful.

Suddenly, a clear sound of footsteps reached the ears of the two of them.

Click.

Click.

Click.

The sound of the soles of feet tapping on the ground is especially harsh in this silent town. The faces of the two changed suddenly, they were all in place and did not move, who could make the sound of footsteps? Who's going to walk around in this weird town?

Cheng Shen immediately exchanged glances with Aoki, who took a deep breath and raised his left arm to aim in the direction where the footsteps came from.

Suddenly.

The footsteps were gone.

Before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the strange clicking sound again, but this time, it appeared behind them.
