Chapter Seventy-Nine: Faith Is Poison
A strange golden glow illuminates the scene on the altar.
There was a corpse lying on it.
This corpse is very weird, the overall image is a man, but behind it is strangely half of a woman's body. She hung on the altar with her back to Cheng Shen, as if she was trying to break free from the man's corpse.
She was almost on the verge of success.
"The Ontological ...... of the Saints"
Cheng Shen looked at the darkness that shrouded the woman, and was shocked.
It hadn't completely broken free from the suppression of that strange thing, and it had already formed such a terrible weirdness.
You know, part of its power has been stripped away by strange objects, forming a darkness that envelops the town, and when it is completely out of trouble and completes its own strength, it doesn't know what kind of terrifying existence it will become!
Aoki wants to harness it?
Perhaps, only by releasing the two terrible weirdness suppressed in his coffin board can he have a chance......
This is the path he chose.
Cheng Shen won't care.
Anyway, for him, there are enough terrifying and unknown things that exist in this world, and one more Aoki is nothing.
As long as he doesn't affect himself.
He looked around, and soon saw a copper chest placed behind the altar, unaffected by the power of the saints.
Territory Chest!
is almost the same style, Cheng Shen will never admit mistakes.
He glanced at the corpse lying quietly on the altar, and simply turned his heart sideways, Aoki was entangled with the saints, it may not have paid attention to itself, and its strange power seemed to be restrained by its own profession...
Tick......
Tick......
Cheng Shen moved to the location of the treasure chest on the ceiling, and his body immediately turned into blood and dripped down.
Crash!
The blood-colored silhouette surged on the ground, and before Cheng Shen could fully condense his figure, he stretched out his hand towards the territory treasure chest.
Bite!
He pulled the padlock of the treasure chest open.
A stream of green-blue light suddenly burst out from it.
Get rich!
Cheng Shen's eyes lit up.
This treasure chest actually contains a lot of materials for building a territory!
Iron Bars, Gold Bars, Souls, Bloodstone......
The most time, they are all high-grade materials!
Limited weight bearing.
Cheng Shen could only pick up the rarest of the materials and load them into his backpack.
[Obtain: Gold Ingot +31!] 】
[Gain: Bloodstone +42!] 】
[Gain: Gear +19!] 】
[Obtain: Demon Wolf's Soul +6!] 】
……
What about the main tower?
Cheng Shen happily picked up for a while, and then suddenly thought of the most important thing.
Although there are blueprints in the treasure chest, they are only two equipment building drawings that are not very valuable, and there are no ordinary tower building drawings.
There are no drawings of the main tower that Aoki said.
He lied to himself?
It's not impossible......
When Cheng Shen accepted his invitation, he was mentally prepared.
The main tower is so precious.
Even if this survivor draws a lot of seats, he will definitely use them to exchange supplies with others.
The chances of staying behind to press the bottom of the box are slim......
He had thought of all this in advance, but Cheng Shen was more willing to fight for a glimmer of hope.
That's why I'm here.
"Ugh."
Cheng Shen sighed lightly.
Immediately, he looked at the box full of resources, and his mood became happy again.
This trip, not only was he upgraded, but he also accidentally took in a strange part of the force, and he also obtained so many high-level resources.
In short, it's not a loss.
Suddenly.
Cheng Shen noticed the two purple stones stored in the corner of the treasure chest.
That's the only Perfection-level item in this chest.
【Reshaping Gem】
【Items】
[Level: Perfect]
[Note: It can be used on any item or tower to reshape its original characteristics, if other substances are added during the remodeling, it will greatly affect the characteristics of the final product, and the item can only be used once]
……
Reshape......
Could it be that Aoki is referring to this thing?
Cheng Shen put away the gem.
A yellowed manual was found in the bottom compartment of the chest.
[Obtained: Ancient Diary!] 】
Cheng Shen opened it and flipped through it.
It was discovered that it was the note left by the 17th-century survivor, and the handwriting on it was automatically translated into the Chinese he knew.
"By the time you open this notebook, I'm dead......"
It is written in the first sentence of the opening paragraph.
Cheng Shen nodded in agreement.
Keep looking.
"I belong to an ancient organization that exists in reality, and I have been tasked to investigate this mysterious game that has existed for thousands of years......"
"Huh?"
Cheng Shen made an unexpected discovery.
In the 17th century, Europeans had religious habits...... Could it be that he was also a member of the Anomaly Organism Investigation Society?
But then he wrote:
"The cruelty of this game is beyond my imagination, and I discovered a terrible fact, the gods that originally existed in this world seem to be dead, and the faith they left behind has become the most terrible curse......"
"Maybe we've all been lied to......"
God, dead?
Aoki had said the same thing just now, and his conclusion should have been conveyed to him by the survivor through another message.
Faith becomes a curse......
Wait a minute......
But the missionaries had clearly mentioned to him before that the founder of their organization was the one who had a great impact in reality, and the faith he spread was still the most influential religious sect in reality...
Have they been deceived?
What exactly does this mean?
Unfortunately, the unfortunate ghost seems to be insisting on the Riddler to the end, and the subsequent records have nothing to do with it.
Maybe he didn't know much.
Cheng Shen said in his heart.
After all, he has only lived in this world for more than two months, and most of the information he understands is one-sided.
If it had been before, Cheng Shen might have been frightened by the contents of this notebook, but after facing that powerful Chaos Lord, his knowledge had undoubtedly increased a lot, and this world was far more complicated than he imagined.
The information he left behind can be used as a reference.
But not all of them.
The content recorded in the back of this notebook is more practical.
"The Soul Slayer, is that the name of that golden short sword?
It can be suppressed weirdly.
Good stuff. ”
Cheng Shen couldn't help but glance at the corpse on the altar.
The golden dagger, like his parchment scroll, was a man-made strange object that could limit it.
And because the forging process is skillful, there are no hidden dangers of parchment rolls.
It's that when you use it, you need to bear a very strong curse backlash.
Previously, this survivor relied entirely on the Saint's unrestricted ability to recover in order to use it.
However, Cheng Shen thought about it, and his bright red form seemed to be similar to the recovery ability of a saint......
And the golden candle.
It's also a weird thing.
When ignited, it can suppress the revival of strange powers, which has a limiting effect.
The various methods researched by the previous survivors against the weird really opened Cheng Shen's eyes.
"Clock Oil Painting ......"
The note also contains a third strange object he has ever acquired.
It is an oil painting depicting a mysterious clock.
According to him, the strange object, when used, was able to affect the flow of time, allowing it to return to a certain time in the past.
But Cheng Shen didn't see it.
Speaking of which.
He remembered that when he first entered the ruins, he did hear the bells.
