Wow......

The melodious sound of bells echoed through the black fog in the church, and the silhouette of a blood-colored morning sun was reflected in the diamond-shaped window above the idol.

It's dawn.

Cheng Shen's divergent perception keenly caught that there was some mysterious substance dissipating in the air, and he looked up with a feeling, the statue of the Invisible Lord had returned to the posture it had when they first met, and his hands were clasped in front of his chest.

The hazy aura that shrouded the statue all subsided.

The sound of the bell woke up the people in the church, and they followed Teresa's example and prayed to the idol to thank the invisible for their peaceful night.

Then, except for Wright, whose eyes had not fully recovered and had no fixed residence, the others left in a hurry.

"Doctor, when are you free today, I'll ...... then"

Saint Liana said to Cheng Shen.

"Noon."

Cheng Shen thought for a while and said.

"Good ......"

Saint Liana let out a sigh of relief and left.

Cheng Shen picked up the package, he was also about to go to work, and by the way, he was looking for the team to heal the church and hand over these relics.

"Are you leaving?"

Teresa asked politely.

"I'll be back." Cheng Shen said casually that he had just come to Xiacheng and had not yet found a place to live, and he had already decided to be a hunter part-time, and living in the Invisible Church could also realize the hunting harvest in time.

Teresa would have been mistaken when she heard this.

She looked embarrassed and said, "I will find a way to repay the favor I owe you, but the church usually has few donations, so if it is a financial need, it may be a little difficult......"

The hazy halo that shrouded her body faded with the night, and Teresa lost her mysterious blessing, and she was wearing a very thin robe that had been washed, reflecting the thin and thin face of malnutrition, and she was a little pitiful.

Cheng Shen said directly: "I will take refuge in the church for one night, and I will stay here for the next few days." ”

Teresa was puzzled, she said euphemistically: "You are already a believer approved by my lord, you don't need to calculate so clearly......"

"One yard to one yard."

Cheng Shen said without refusal.

His exchange with the Invisible Lord through hunting values was a fair deal, other than that.

He didn't want to owe anything to the unknown god.

Leave the church.

The sound of the system also sounded as promised.

[Mission Complete - Scourge of the Old Days (2)!] 】

[Obtain: Permission unlocked (1%)!] 】

[The main story progress has been updated! 】

……

Carl's identity also survived the night without any incident of his sister's night attack......

The system permission to unlock again allowed Cheng Shen to gain the right to use the backpack three more times, and counting the one he saved, he can now take out four items from the backpack.

The space to choose from suddenly becomes much more abundant.

Still keep it for now.

Cheng Shen deduced in his mind in advance the various situations that he might encounter next, made coping choices, and listed several props with high demand.

Doing so will greatly avoid confusion when the time comes.

Subsequently.

He looked at the updated main quest.

"Obtain any of the false gods' protection level 4? This time, the time limit is three days......"

Cheng Shen looked at the information leaked by the task, and his mind was a little playful.

"False God ......"

It's a wonderful name.

In the system's identification, this invisible lord is not a real god, and, depending on its meaning, there seem to be several or more of such false gods in the old city......

"The Invisible Lord shelter I have now is level 2, and if I want to complete the mission, I must be the first choice.

Three days should be enough time for me to grind my asylum level to level four. ”

Cheng Shen thought to himself.

The purpose of the asylum level he currently knows is to increase the percentage of hunt value in exchange for rewards.

From this point of view.

Focusing on a god's protection level is also the most lucrative option.

Compared with the first two missions, the information revealed by the main quest in this ring does not seem to be so urgent.

It's more like the system is giving him time to transition and adapt to the environment here.

……

The blood-lit streets are no longer visible from last night's battle.

Cheng Shen glanced back.

The church standing on the corner of the street is like a dilapidated ancestral hall, blending into the surrounding low-rise buildings, unremarkable, and the dust raised by the street gradually obscures the view, giving the church a more old sense of age.

"How can the healing church tolerate the existence of multiple faiths?" A question came to his mind.

And the broken information he captured at dawn also gave him an inexplicable feeling. It seems that the Invisible Lord only dares to descend its power in the church at night, and will automatically hide in the daytime.

Is it because of ......?

Cheng Shen glanced up at the cloudy blood-red sun.

Wow......

The sound of a gust of wind blowing through the armor came to Cheng Shen's ears, and on the corner of the street, a special team walked up, dressed in neat armor, helmets like iron buckets, leaving a gap in the shape of an inverted triangle.

On the left side of their white breastplate is a short cross with a pattern, and on the right side is the emblem of two long swords crossed.

Silver White Temple.

Affiliated with another armed body under the Healing Church.

The Silver White Temple appears more often than the House of Salvation, which deals with strange events, and is a regular armed force used by the Healing Church to maintain its rule, with brutal and ruthless methods.

Their reputation is also even more frightening to ordinary people.

Airplanes......

The tall warrior at the head was holding a white jade container in his hand, which was faintly visible, and there was a scarlet liquid flowing in the container, Cheng Shen approached them, and at the same time paid attention to the blood in the container.

"Stop!"

The soldier stopped Cheng Shen from a long distance.

"I'm here to hand in my belongings."

Cheng Shen had already recognized them as the team that Teresa mentioned to recover the hunter's relics, and the items in the warrior's hand also carried a faint aura of divine blood, which seemed to be sensing the divine blood weapon.

Therefore, he took the initiative without waiting for the other party to ask.

"Oh......"

After the warrior saw the crow mask on Cheng Shen's face, the gaze revealed in the armor was a little fearful.

Then, he saw the bulging package in Cheng Shen's hand, and asked in surprise and vigilance: "You have picked up so many relics by yourself!?" ”

Cheng Shen nodded and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to see those heroes who are fighting for our tomorrow, and they can't even find the last relic to prove their identity." You don't have to thank that, this is what I should do! ”

“…… Thank you! ”

The warrior felt a little strange when he heard his words, but he did not have the slightest doubt, and everyone who knew the truth would admire these sad hunters who were willing to fall into the darkness and stop the spread of disaster.

It is their selfless dedication that makes the city rise again and again in the night.

Cheng Shen's words resonated with this team all of a sudden.

They put their hands in fists to their chests and saluted reverently:

"May your souls sleep in the night of the boundless......"

"Thank you!"

Alfred took the heavy package with both hands, and this scene made Cheng Shen a little embarrassed. If he let them know, these weapons were all obtained by watching the hunters die and not save them.

I'm afraid I'm going to be torn alive on the spot......

"No thanks."

Cheng Shen looked at Alfred blankly, if he directly asked for a reward in this situation, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate ......?

Fortunately, Alfred is sensible.

He checked it and took out a money bag in his bosom, "You will receive a gold reward for every weapon you turn in, this is the rule set by the church, you submit fourteen items, this is what you deserve." ”

He poured out a handful of yellow gold coins, counted fourteen of them, and handed them over.

Gold......

Cheng Shen glanced at it.

The monetary system of the old city was relatively simple, with one gold equal to ten silver equal to one thousand copper. These fourteen gold coins, converted into his salary, are equivalent to nearly three years' salary! Marge is still happy to see it?

Cheng Shen approached Alfred, and while taking the gold coins, he shoved one of the gold coins into his hand.

"Your dutiful pursuit of the hero's relics is also very hard, and this money is just for me to invite my brothers to breakfast."

He said familiarly.

"This ...... Unruly canon. Alfred bluntly refused.

"Just a little bit of my heart."

Cheng Shen smiled slightly.

The strength of this team of Silver and White Temple knights is not too exaggerated, he can sense the emotional changes in everyone's hearts, and when Alfred said this, he clearly sensed the resentment in the hearts of others.

seemingly

The captain of the knights is not usually very popular......

"Actually, I also have something to ask for." Cheng Shen said without waiting for him to refuse again.

His tone became heavy, "Last night, I strayed into the black fog, allowing me to witness the greatness of one unsung hero after another. I also want to do my part to clean up the city and join the hunters and become a part of the hunting party! ”

"You're going to be a hunter!?" Alfred was in awe, but he said solemnly: "Hunter is not a glamorous job, if you have the intention of wanting to be in the limelight, I advise you to give up!" ”

"I'm ready to die."

Cheng Shen said softly.

"You don't understand the hardships you have to endure to become a hunter......," Alfred persuaded, and at this moment, there seemed to be a soft place in his heart that was suddenly touched, and he suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Cheng Shen.

"But ......"

He frowned, finally finding what he had always felt weird, "Aren't you a crow doctor?!" ”

Dr. Raven is perceived as a group of cold-hearted executioners, who will do anything for money. This is also a group of greedy devils!

When did Dr. Raven become so highly convinced?

Tut......

Cheng Shen replied quietly: "I joined Dr. Crow to save more people, and I want to do more things for the city within my ability." ”

In other words, ordinary people may only feel hypocritical when they say about him.

But Cheng Shen sensed Alfred's heart, a person who insisted on fairness and justice to the point of being paranoid.

The talent of emotional perception not only allows Cheng Shen to know the inner thoughts of others.

He also developed the ability to see people, talk about people, and talk about ghosts......

"I see." Alfred believed Cheng Shen's words, and he pushed back the gold coin in his hand: "You don't need to ask me about this matter, the recruitment of the hunter group will be carried out every month, as long as you can pass the test." ”

"But the next recruitment is at the end of the month."

Cheng Shen shook his head and said.

He had already learned from Teresa that the last hunter assessment had just ended, and the next assessment would have to wait for twenty-seven days.

It's been too long.

"Wait a little longer, and you'll have to think about it a little longer!"

Alfred Road.

"I ...... I've been through something irreparable, and I don't want to make waiting a regret anymore. ”

Cheng took a deep breath and said in a deep tone.

In all fairness, his acting skills are average, but with the assistance of emotional perception.

His words are simply more contagious than his masterful acting skills.

The sadness in Alfred's heart was triggered, he remembered his past, and immediately empathized with Cheng Shen.

"This is not without exception...... I can find my teacher to help you! ”

He said after deep thought.

"Thank you!"

Cheng Shen was moved and directly stuffed half of the reward he had just received into his hand, "I can't owe you a big favor in vain, even if you don't want this money, you can share it with your brothers and buy a gift for your teacher!" ”

"I can't take it, it's the rule."

Alfred said stubbornly.

“……”

Cheng Shen was choked by the gold coin in his hand and was speechless for a while.

"Whether you can become a hunter or not, the most important thing is to see if you can pass the test, if you don't have that strength, I will help you and harm you."

He said solemnly.

"I understand." Cheng Shen nodded, "I'm ready for everything." ”

Alfred said: "When my morning patrol is over, I can take you to meet my teacher, which street clinic do you work on?" I'll come to you then. ”

"Holy Sound Street."

Cheng Shen said.

"Hope for a healthy day."

Alfred said goodbye to him with a blessing for the healing church.

"The way to become a hunter has a clue...... Cheng Shen thought that this matter would have to be wasted.

As for

Test......

Cheng Shen thought that his strength was definitely not as good as other hunters.

But with the advantages of not being afraid of being infected and being good at medical treatment, it shouldn't be too difficult to mix up a concession place......

The Raven Clinic on Holy Sound Street is not far from the Invisible Church, just across the street.

The "bustle" of this neighborhood is also basically concentrated in the vicinity of this street.

The gray-and-white two-story building sits on the corner of the street, and every window on the street is covered with a white cloth, and as soon as you get closer, you can hear a burst of terrible wails and screams coming from the clinic.

The smoky smell of burning an herb fills the street.

The smell of spicy eyes makes the eyes of passers-by red.

At this time, not long after the sky dawned, there were already many people gathered around the clinic with the help of patients. Not far from the clinic is a rudimentary prayer room, where there is a long line of people coming in and out to pray.

"Please? Why don't you beg me ......"

Cheng Shen said secretly in his heart.

As he approached, the door to the clinic slammed open, and a man with a white veil walked out, "Don't gather here! I told you not to get here! If you don't have money, hurry up and don't waste time! ”

“……？”

Cheng Shen was slightly stunned.

Even though the man in front of him had spoken so viciously, the patients around him still squeezed in like a dogskin plaster the moment he appeared.

"My lord, help me! Ahem......! I'm about to lose it, and when I get better, I'll make money and pay you back ......!" ”

"I can't stand the pain! Your Excellency, just give me a few pills! ”

"Please save my mother! Please! ”

"We only scraped together a little bit of money......"

“……”

What is Hell on Earth?

Cheng Shen looked at the ragged patients and their families in front of him.

They are living in hell right now.
