Bypassing the battlefield, Cheng Shen continued to advance.

The fog was getting thicker.

Jingle ......

A crisp bell suddenly came into his ears, and Cheng Shen turned his head to look.

His spiritual perception was hindered to a certain extent in the mist, but even the real nightmare gray fog area could not completely isolate his vision, not to mention that his current spiritual power had been fused and strengthened into soul power.

A kilometer radius is within his perceptual range.

Cheng Shen saw that a woman dressed in tattered clothes walked slowly in the mist, her face was withered, thin as a dried corpse, and there was only a skin wrapped around her bones, and her spiritual world was only a gray and blank.

"The Lost ......"

Cheng Shen's face was solemn.

The effects of the Old City have brought this place into complete contact with the Nightmare World, and the Lost, who originally only appeared in the mist, have actually come to the human world! So can there be fog ghosts, bone differences, and other existences that can also come?

He took a light breath.

Yusaigra

This nightmare entrance,

It seemed to be much bigger than he had expected the worst......

The lost man had a faded brass bell tied to her waist, which shook and rattled softly as she stiffened. Cheng Shen saw at a glance that it should be a rare or perfect-level equipment.

And it's a rare spiritual system.

He once had a similar bell.

It's just that as his strength grows, the equipment under the transcendent has not increased much for him.

…… But who doesn't like white pickup?

Thoughts move slightly.

Cheng Shen tried to mobilize the confusion in the heart of the lost man, and a hazy call echoed in his heart, only to see that the lost man, who was wandering aimlessly, suddenly turned around and walked towards him.

Sou!

A wisp of wind passed through, breaking the ring tie hanging from its waist with precision, and the lost man also found Cheng Shen at this time.

Yin Wensi...... Yin Wensi ......"

It called softly.

Cheng Shen didn't hear it, raised his hand and put the bell that fell to the ground into his hand, and turned away.

In fact, the Lost is not very strong individually, and he could have killed the Lost when he called out to the Lost nearby.

But Cheng Shen couldn't be sure whether the information Govia gave him at the beginning was accurate, and he didn't want to take any risks. With the insidiousness of that devil, maybe he has dug 10,000 pits for him to jump in his usual conversations.

What's more, he also got something from others.

It's a bit unreasonable to kill it again......

Jingle bells!

Cheng Shen injected magic into the bell, and a touch of dark gold immediately reappeared on the surface of the faded and mottled copper bell, and the clear bell resounded in the depths of Cheng Shen's mind, which made him refreshed and his mind became extremely clear.

"Gain Status: Active Mind!"

……

This copper bell has a total of two characteristics, one is the blue state of blessing itself.

And there's also a perceptual reinforcement specifically for felines...?

Beast taming props?

Cheng Shen was slightly stunned.

This perceptual enhancement allows the user to capture the emotions of the animal more accurately, which plays an auxiliary role in taming the animal.

But it was useless for him.

His ability to directly perceive the world of the mind is 10,000 times more than that.

However, anyway, it was just an ordinary purple suit that he picked up, and Cheng Shen didn't have much expectations.

"How far is it ......?"

It's easy to think outside the world in a static environment.

Cheng Shen raised his head and looked at the high-walled city that seemed to be suspended in the clouds, and his gaze suddenly froze.

"That door, always open?"

He was suspicious.

The towering gates of the old city opened at some point, and inside the door was a blood-colored world. Just as Cheng Shen looked up, a palm that did not look like a human slowly poked out from inside the door.

Airplanes!

Cheng Shen was instantly attracted by the palm engraved with mysterious patterns, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but an unstoppable tiredness quickly came to his mind, making his eyelids immediately become as heavy as a mountain!

"Hit!"

Cheng Shen chuckled in his heart, his mind began to be dizzy, his body was shaky, and his strong tiredness made him just want to sleep regardless of it at the moment, and the energy in his body became lazy, and his operation was sluggish like a rusty bearing.

"No...... I can't sleep ......! ”

Cheng Shen bit the tip of his tongue.

But even such a strong and severe pain could not awaken his spirit!

Cheng Shen had only one thought in his mind before falling into a coma: I'm afraid the Deep Sea Curse is going to kill ......!

……

Heaviness.

Confusion.

The thick darkness filled Cheng Shen's consciousness world, and his feeling at the moment was like staying up for seven days and was on the verge of sudden death, and he finally had the opportunity to sleep, but he was forcibly woken up.

My head was buzzing and I couldn't think because of my headache.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Cheng Shen was in pain for a long time before remembering the answers to these two questions.

But the darkness in front of him lingered, and he felt as if he was still closing his eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open them, and his body was so heavy that he couldn't even lift his fingers.

Bang......!

He suddenly felt a shudder from outside, and his body seemed to be lifted up and thrown into a greasy and damp place.

Then the sound of rutting sounded.

His body began to jolt.

In the process of shaking, he seemed to hit a cold and stiff object, and the familiar touch made him think of a corpse for the first time.

"I ...... I'm about to enter the Old City......"

Cheng Shen thought slowly.

Simple thoughts.

But it took him a hundred times more time than usual to think.

"...... in the door"

"Hey!"

His barely rising head was interrupted by a voice outside, as if two people were talking.

"New arrivals?"

"Hmm."

"Huh? The rare fresh flesh is estimated to be able to get rid of decay and extend the life span of a big man by hundreds of years......"

"Hmm."

"Send it to purify and clean up!"

“……”

End of conversation.

After several tosses.

Cheng Shen fell asleep again in the bump, and he only felt that a century had passed. By the time he was perceived again, his body had been placed in a cold place, with people walking around.

There is the sound of metal objects colliding.

"Take a blood sample to check for contaminating ...... in your body"

"Preparing ...... for purification surgery"

"Check the blood sample and send it to the temple so they can decide who to replace......

……

There was a man's voice that kept giving instructions, and Cheng Shen then felt that his body was stripped naked, and a cold palm with an isolation glove carefully touched every part of his body.

"......"

He felt nothing but anger in his heart.

"Is the patient's mind still active? What's going on? …… To avoid problems with replacement surgery, perform a purification surgery first! ”

"Yes!"

“……”

Airplanes!

A strong electric current suddenly surged through his body, and Cheng Shen suddenly felt as if his thoughts were about to explode, and instinct drove him desperately to escape from this body and avoid being completely purified by this terrible force.

Call!

Suddenly.

Cheng Shen's thoughts were light, and the soul of the whole person rose upwards as if he had broken away from some kind of bondage.

He finally "opened" his eyes.

See.

But it was his pale-complexion lying on an operating table.

Around his body was a "person" wearing a strange crow mask, led by a crow doctor, the instrument in their hands was said to be a surgical instrument, but in Cheng Shen's opinion, it was more like a torture tool......

Before he could see more details, his consciousness uncontrollably passed through the ceiling and out of the building.

Bloody.

It's like fire.

A pitch-black sun hung high in the sky, and the rays of light around it were like unspeakable tentacles stretched out, and a large number of tentacles fell on a towering blood-colored spire in the middle of the city.

make it,

Sacred and melodious.

Rumble!

Cheng Shen's rising soul seemed to touch a barrier that could not be broken through, causing him to fall downward in the darkness in front of him as if he had been hit hard.

In the process.

An incomparably familiar voice rang out in his head one after another.

You have successfully arrived at ...... The city! 】

[Disaster of the Old Days 1 - Mission Accomplished!] 】

[Obtain: Permission unlocked (1%)!] 】

[The main quest has been updated!] 】

[You can select a side quest in the character panel to receive it!] 】

……

The mechanical sound, as usual, is now like a radio that has been subjected to electromagnetic interference, and the sound is intermittent with sharp currents.

But the good thing is that the message is clear.

And the state that affected him finally disappeared, and Cheng Shen's mind quickly turned, recalling everything that had happened before as quickly as possible.

"The body was robbed ......"

An absurd thought then lingered in Cheng Shen's mind, and he was in a complicated mood, and he didn't know whether it was bad news or good news for a while.

Does anyone dare to use his body?

I really think I'm dying too slowly......

Cheng Shen felt an incomparably relaxed sense of pleasure at the moment, as if two mountains that had always been pressing on his head had been removed. Those crow doctors do have some skills, and they can actually peel off all the curses he has received together!

At the same time, he was still a little excited in his heart......

or

Don't want it?

Cheng Shen could sense that his soul had not been weakened in the slightest, and his strength was basically pinned on his energy control talent.

It's just a physical ......

Call!

Cheng Shen's thoughts diverged, only to feel that his consciousness sank suddenly, and suddenly fell into a cold body. After a brief moment of confusion, he began to perceive everything the body could feel, but it was full of dullness.

The darkness cleared before my eyes.

The first thing that caught his eye was the ceiling covered with dark red mold; The wall paint peels off and gives off a damp, musty smell; On the wooden desk lay some unfinished handicrafts; Outside the window, there was a bloody glow.

This is a bedroom full of vintage style.

But aside from the factors of poor maintenance, the layout and decoration in the room are not simple, the desk, wardrobe, are very complete, and all kinds of messy items are piled up in the corners of the room, most of which are some wooden puppet limbs.

"The identity of this advent is a puppeteer......?"

Cheng Shen released his senses.

Then he was stunned.

The "he" presented in the perceptual horizon is actually a person with flesh and wood spliced together, half of his head is wood, there is a striking tear mark in the middle of his face, and the upturned flesh skin is blackened.

His bones had been replaced with wooden frames, and his chest was wrapped in a thick bandage that covered his rotting, stinking internal organs.

Puff,

Puff,

……

A strong heart still beats tenaciously in this horrific wreckage.

"How did this meow survive? It's not scientific! ”

Cheng Shen wondered.

Creak......

He tried to manipulate his body to sit up from the bed, and it took a lot of effort to do so, but before he could sit down, he suddenly lost his strength, and he fell back on the bed, and all the internal organs in his body shook with a flurry.

The only thing to be thankful for is.

The body did not give him any unnecessary pain......

"Forget it."

Cheng Shen shook his head and planned to give up this body, he didn't believe that there was a huge city and he couldn't find a good person. And even if he really can't find a body to control, his soul body can be condensed into a substance that is no different from ordinary people.

It's better than staying in this broken body......

Thinking.

Cheng Shen didn't rush out to find a new body, he meditated on the system, opened the character panel, and prepared to see the changes in the mission.

Airplanes......

A tearing unstable curtain of light appeared before his eyes.

Sure enough, the power of the system was cut off again...... The impact of this isolation was much worse than it had been in Nightmare Town. ”

Cheng Shen thought.

The Nightmare City of the Old Days is located far deeper than the Nightmare Town.

If it weren't for the fact that his soul had undergone a metamorphosis and his spiritual power had been strengthened, I am afraid that he would face the situation of being blackened at that time.

Task Panel ......

Cheng Shen tried to activate a function in the panel, and a large amount of information immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

First of all.

It's a change in the main quest this time.

【Scourge of the Old Days 2】

【Mission】

[Difficulty: lv21~lv51]

[Explanation: The despicable unbelievers have stolen the glory of the past, angered the gods, and sent punishments, the earth has fallen into eternal silence, chaos and madness have begun to spread in the darkness, and people can no longer wait for the sun to rise.........]

[Condition: Survive the first night!] 】

【Reward: Unknown】

[Punishment: Curse of the Old Days (Please don't try it lightly!) ）】

[Time limit: 13:52:43!] 】

……

Just asking to survive ......?

Cheng Shen frowned.

This condition suddenly gave him an ominous premonition.

You must know that the first link of the main quest, although it only allows him to enter the old city within half a month, but on the way to complete this task, the first thing is to solve the four forces that are blocking the road, which is the difficulty!

And now task 2 is also a simple sentence.

Among the dangers.

But Cheng Shen felt numb on his scalp when he thought about it.

However, he is in this state, who else will harm him? Isn't it ...... that idle eggs hurt!?

Cheng Shen's emotions are beyond words.

He continued to look.

There are also some notes under the main quest that can be completed with notes.

[Branch 1: Escape from the House of Doom.]

You live in a happy family of four, but you gradually find that everyone in this family is a little abnormal, your mother is always irritable and irritable, your father likes to go out at night, and your sister is always hiding in the room......

And you, what's the problem?

Once you are free from your family, you will be considered mission-accomplished! 】

[Branch 2: Play the identity.

Once you have successfully landed any job and received a satisfactory score, the task is considered complete! 】

[Branch 3: Get back to your body.]

Your body has been robbed, but the person who snatched it does not know that it will bring a terrible disaster......
