……

"-Uh-ah-ah!!"

A terrible scream woke up Chen Lun.

He quickly got up from the ground, knelt down and looked up, and saw that the woman in the cell opposite was wailing in pain, half of her body hidden in the darkness, and her legs exposed to the light of the fire kept moving eyes.

Dense and terrifying.

"Go back! Look at smashing your bones again! ”

With a scolding, Chen Lun's vision was blocked by a tall and thin black shadow.

Looking up, he saw a guard standing in front of him across the cell, looking down. The other party's cold eyes full of malice under the backlight made Chen Lun very uncomfortable, but the situation was stronger than people, so he had to lower his head and sit down in the corner of the prison without saying a word.

"Ignorant idiots! Poor worm! Don't be so curious about everything......"

The guard looked around the rest of the cell, his mustaches slightly cocked.

"Don't even look out! Chop off a finger at a glance! ”

He lifted the short sword at his waist, and the gauntlet rubbed against the scabbard with a crisp sound.

The prison crowd stepped back in fear, turning their heads away from the scene.

The guard snorted coldly, and then turned around in satisfaction, but his mouth was still scolding, and Chen Lun vaguely heard him complaining about Brother Will's words.

"Quick! Hurry up! ”

"The sacrifice of Group 4 is distorted, take her away and deal with it!"

Dense footsteps sounded in the aisle outside, Chen Lun kept his head down, raised his gaze and observed with his peripheral vision, three or four guards in fur coats and brimmed hats set up the woman in the cell opposite, threw her into a sack and carried her away.

They move very quickly, don't waste a little time, and seem to slow down and something terrible can happen.

Chen Lun slowly exhaled the turbidity in his chest, he had actually secretly guessed the truth.

According to his years of experience in the game, that woman is most likely mysteriously polluted, her body has been distorted, and when her sanity value drops to 0, she will completely lose control and turn into a monster.

By then, the person must have died, and only her body was moved, a mass of rotten flesh containing a mad will......

"What to do......

Chen Lun began to think.

Because he was in the dungeon at the moment, he didn't know the time of the outside world at all, but it was definitely getting closer and closer to the night sacrifice.

Sacrifice!

It's a no-brainer, but in the magical world of Age of Mystery, which includes Cthulhu and New Weirdness, it's just a catch-all term, not a sacrifice to the gods in the simple sense.

Chen Lun knew very well that the objects of sacrifice of the Red Apple Church were the [tricks] that they had collected with a lot of manpower and material resources, and the sacrifices were all kinds of living creatures, including living people.

But in a sense, this so-called sacrifice is more like a study.

The Red Apple Church has been secretly studying the Strange Thing, trying to fully grasp the mysterious power contained in the Strange Thing.

Chen Lun's identity at this time is the "sacrifice" of the [Strange Thing] that Brother Will is responsible for in the guard's mouth!

[Strange Things] This kind of thing, in "Mysterious Age", can be understood as the spiritual treasure magic weapon in the fantasy works of Xianxia, but unlike the spiritual treasure magic weapon, these [strange things] are more weird and uncontrollable, their birth method is unknown, the effective mechanism is unknown, and the characteristics and usage methods are all unknown......

Even the form of existence is unknown.

Small items everywhere, such as a pen, a coffee mug or a gun...... Slightly larger tables, chairs, and even house cars. Of course, it may also be a living animal, such as insects, kittens, and dogs, flying in the sky and swimming in the sea...... It can even be a person.

And unless you spend a lot or even a lot of human life to study and try and make mistakes, no one will dare to use them easily, because it is very likely that you will die inexplicably before you start using them.

Seeing the woman's distorted performance just now, Chen Lun thought of a famous [Strange Thing], the characteristic of the person polluted by it was that his eyes were all over his body, and that [Strange Thing] was also from the Red Apple Church.

"If that's the thing......"

Chen Lun wiped his cold sweat, and there was a faint bad premonition in his heart.

In his previous life, he was not a powerful player, and unlike most people, he was not keen on the pursuit of strength, only in the middle echelon, but was more fascinated by things like the backstory and world view in the game.

His favorite thing to do, apart from digging into the game's side stories and traveling around the world to experience the local customs, is to flip through all kinds of interesting facts about the world of Mysterious Age on the forum.

Chen Lun remembered that he had read a detailed article about the Red Apple Church, which contained information about the [Strange Thing].

【A-grade Monster Back Sun Bonsai】

The posthumous incarnation of a sage who has turned his back on the belief in the sun has a strong repulsive power, especially to the transcendents of the solar system.

Legend has it that the Tourmaline Royal City of the Trisur Empire has undergone a reconstruction, and it is the culprit.

This [Strange Thing] belongs to Floy, one of the bosses of the Red Apple Church.

"The blood rain is pouring on me, I watch the sunflowers bow their heads after the rain, and the sunflowers watch the sun die in the burning." - Floy

……

"I hope [Beiyang Bonsai] won't ...... here"

Chen Lun only felt that his sweat was flowing more and more, and his back was soaked, and there was a greasy cold feeling.

"I don't want to be unlucky to be buried with these people!"

"Gotta find a way to get out of here!"

According to the timeline, at this time, the [Back-Yang Potted Plant] has not yet been fully mastered by the Red Apple Church, and they will definitely continue to frantically invest in living people for trial and error, but the problem is that the danger of this [A-class monster] is too high, like a nuclear bomb that will explode at any time.

These damn madmen are constantly tempting on the brink of destruction, and they can't be the fish of the pond.

Chen Lun controlled himself to calm down, took a few deep breaths, and thought seriously.

He remembered that he had been in a coma caused by the loss of SAN after witnessing the woman's distortion, and at the last moment he seemed to activate his panel.

"Yes, panel!"

Chen Lun hurriedly called out his character panel, intending to find a way to save himself.

After spending a few minutes poring through it, he frowned.

The first thing that caught his attention was his NPC template and the countdown to the open beta.

The original surprise due to the appearance of the panel faded a lot in an instant, because he seemed to have lost his identity as a player and lost the resurrection ability that he relied on as the fourth natural calamity.

This also means that there is only one life for him.

The countdown is a reminder of the time node that Chen Lun is currently in, which is before the prologue of the game begins, that is, a year before the 1.0 version of the Red Apple Church ravages the empire.

This means that the Red Apple Church is still dormant, and its strength is far less than when it was in its prime.

On the other hand, because the headquarters of the Red Apple Church was in Wangcheng, they did not dare to invest a lot of human lives so unscrupulously under the nose of the royal family, so Chen Lun guessed that most of the prisons he was in were in the branch of the church in remote areas.

"It also means that there is a shortage of people here, which is good news."

But Chen Lun did not let his guard down, because he did not have any extraordinary abilities now, and he was just an ordinary person.

As for the [Fisherman LV3] that comes with him, forget it, do you want him to perform high-end fishing skills to the vicious church guards?

"The key is ...... charisma"

Charisma affects the NPC's natural favorability towards players, and together with willpower insight and luck, it is divided into special attributes, and the special thing about these four attributes is that they cannot be improved by adding points, so they are quite valuable.

But the key to what Chen Lun said was not that he wanted to use his charm to influence the guards to let him out, but the two points added in parentheses after the charm value.

"This is the charm value attached to the equipment!"

Of course, Chen Lun is no stranger to this, on the contrary, he is too familiar with it, so he saw the key at a glance.

He quickly stood up and groped around himself.

But like the other people in the prison who were arrested, Chen Lun only had a tattered linen coat on his body, and a cloth belt was simply tied around his waist.

"What the hell?"

Chen Lun frowned, and suddenly looked down-

He wears a handmade shell necklace around his neck.
