Chapter 41: Rewards
Poof!
Dr. Loka showed no mercy to the once titular leader, and pulled the scalpel out of his heart again, and Falm suddenly fell to the ground with a thud of blood.
No one would have thought that the gang leader who ruled the Black Cave would be such a big man who died in such a simple way, and died at the hands of one of his own people.
But... Your own people?
No, no, no.
"How dare you hurt such a beautiful body with such a dirty and ugly bullet... Die! Go to hell!! Bastard!! Hahahaha! β
After doing all this, Dr. Loka looked up to the sky and laughed.
Fortunately, Falm is dead, otherwise he would have known that it was because of the three shots he fired at Irene that Dr. Loka's killing intent was aroused, and I am afraid that he would really be dead.
What's more, killing Falm was just the beginning.
Next, Dr. Loka, with a heavy machine gun he had picked up out of nowhere, began to shoot wildly at the members of Kaleva who had previously attacked Irene and Liao Ji.
"Die! Die! Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to the Creator and the Goddess will send me to hell!! β
Da-da-da-da!
When the muzzle of the gun was so red that he could no longer shoot ammunition, and there was no longer a single standing gangster in the huge factory as far as the eye could see, Dr. Loka seemed to have completed his mission.
Then here it is.
Pedal Pedal Ped
The man in the gray coat couldn't wait to run in front of Irene, and even fell directly at the last step because he was too excited, but it didn't matter to Loca, or...
Just right.
He was like a puppy about to come over to ask for credit, bowing his head deeply, wishing he could stick to the ground, and then prostrate himself at Irene's feet with an extremely humble attitude.
"I beg your pardon... Forgive me for my ignorance and ignorance... After seeing your elegant and beautiful figure... I realized that in this world, there really can be human beings who are so perfectly integrated with the turbidity..."
"Oh my God... What a perfect fit with turbidity, what an incomparable work of art! The man in the gray coat was a little incoherent, and no matter how many words he spoke, he couldn't seem to express his excitement at the moment.
He began to hammer his head to the ground without stopping, as if the most devout believer,
"You must be a god... It must be a goddess... Can you please accept my confession, can you please ... Let me touch it, even if it's just once...! β
"You are the Doomer of my dreams, the Doomer who only exists in my theory and can coexist perfectly with the Turbidity Doom, please! Let me... Let me feel this perfection too... One time... Even toes do! β
Loka trembled to himself, but it wasn't because of fear, but because he was excited, and he excitedly stretched out a hand to touch Irene's ankle, and there was not the slightest distraction in his eyes, it was purely a paranoid pursuit.
It's a pity that when his hand was only halfway out, Irene, who was frowning, raised his heel high and stepped on it as if he saw a maggot.
Click!
It was the sound of a broken metacarpal bone, followed by Dr. Loka's screams of pain.
"Ahh
It can be seen that the entire palm of the man in the gray coat has been twisted and deformed under the stepping of Irene with a deliberately heavy force, and a large number of bruised marks are quickly crawling all over, and they are basically completely wasted.
However, after the first instinctive screams, Dr. Loka, who was already in a cold sweat, did not seem to be in mental pain, but on the contrary, very happy, he grinned, and in this case he could still squeeze out a heartfelt smile, and his eyes showed a look of fanaticism and obsession with the shoes that the girl stepped on his hands.
"Thanks... Thank you! Thank you Goddess... Adult's.... Reward..."
Dr. Loka, who was next, even put his other palm at Irene's feet, and looked at the girl with a longing look.
Irene did lift her foot again.
But this time it was no longer the palm of the hand, but the head of the man in the gray coat, and the disgusted girl now understood that for this kind of pervert with a broken brain, any superfluous action was considered to be "rewarding" the other party.
Seeing the irritable Irene, she was about to kick Loka's head, but at this time, Liao Ji, who was still behind, hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the girl first.
"Make... Lord Creator!! At this, the gray-robed young man was almost carried away by joy, and he almost fainted, and he almost screamed with all his strength, wanting to show his kind of worship for Liao Ji.
After all, if Irene's existence is a flawless and beautiful work of art for Dr. Loka, then the image of Liao Ji in Loca's heart is that of a sculptor, the creator of this artwork of his dreams.
Loka is obsessed with the girl, longing to touch and appreciate this work of art.
But for youth... It was the supreme being, it was the goddess who needed him to look up to and revere it, it was the goddess who created him, it was above the gods... Creator!!
"Shhh
Liao Ji half-squatted down, put his hand in front of his mouth, and motioned to Dr. Loka, who was lying on the ground, to be quiet and not to be so anxious.
The man immediately nodded violently, and closed his mouth tightly, not daring to say another word.
After all, this is the Creator's command.
No, it should be said that it was his honor to be commanded by the Creator.
"Tell me, have any nuns been brought to you this day or afternoon?"
"Yes! Some! She is the subject of my own experiment, and she is also one of the few people who can carry a high concentration of turbidity reagent in the past few months and still remain conscious! It's incredible, the turbidity pollution in her body is obviously seriously exceeded, but it can last for six years, I suspect that this is related to her nun's blessing, the higher the devotion to the goddess, the more she can get an ability to resist turbidity from the underworld, she also..."
For Liao Ji's question, Dr. Loka is like a student answering the teacher, racking his brains to report everything related to his mind to Liao Ji.
As everyone knows, the girl next to her, the expression on Irene's face has changed several times, especially when she was heard to be an experimental subject at the beginning, her heart was almost broken, but fortunately...
"Okay, to answer my next question, is she still alive now? Where did you put it? β
"Alive!"
Dr. Loka's first sentence relieved Irene, but the second sentence that followed made her feel suffocated in an instant.
"At least she's still alive when we hand her over to the church!"
Teach... Church...
Irene froze in place for this word, but Liao Ji was not too surprised, nodded and continued to ask:
"Tell me about the church, how they colluded with Kaleva, and what secrets do you have between you?"
"When the Church excavated a total of two 'Great Emperor Relic' from the [Ruins Cave], the priest gave one of them to us in Kaleva, so that we could continue to provide him with experimental materials through that Scarlet Star, so that he could study the other more advanced and powerful 'Great Emperor Relic'..."
"So... What do you mean is that your factory is actually just a link in the production chain, and you first process ordinary people, select those with the potential of doomers, and then use them as advanced experimental materials and send them to the church for more advanced experiments? β
"It's... Yes, Lord Creator! β
"Well... I understand. Liao Ji nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, if nothing else, the next question is the last one."
"Nope! No, no, no! For the Creator, I am willing to answer any question! I'll do my best for you! It's my pleasure, it's mine...!! β
As soon as Liao Ji was about to finish the questioning, Dr. Loka became anxious and began to get excited again, until Liao Ji gave him a quiet gesture again.
"Tell me, what is the 'relic' in the hands of the priest of the church?"
"Yes... I'm sorry! Damn it! I'm damned! Lord Creator... I, I don't know the specifics, they keep this aspect very secretive, I inquired a lot, only a little bit of rumors, I only know the appearance of the "relic", it seems to be a..."
"The Emperor's Relic, which resembles the heraldic family emblem!" Dr. Loka's eyes lit with remembrance.
Liao Ji knew the appearance as soon as he heard this description.
It turned out to be a [branding]...
[Brand] is a part of the development system of the doomer in the game, and belongs to the large branch of "equipment", but unlike some ordinary external equipment such as swords and guns, the brand mark is a "internal" equipment, which can provide a variety of buffs and special effects for the doomer.
In "Falling", the details are very good, so the [branding] of different races is also different, the [branding] of the human race is like what Dr. Loka just said, the coat of arms, while the mechanical species is a chip, the essence is a rune, and the orc is a totem...
I just don't know if the [branding] dug up by the church is a "set" or a "piece", if it is a "piece", then which part of the [upper], [middle], [lower] is it, and what is the effect...
From now on, Dr. Luo Ka couldn't even figure out a lowest-level [Doom essentia], and Liao Ji didn't expect the other party to answer his questions.
Got himself to know, Liao Ji stood up.
At this time, Dr. Loka saw that Liao Ji was leaving, and hurriedly crawled over on all fours to keep up, and he begged Liao Ji bitterly:
"You... Are you leaving? Please, take me! Let me be by your side and let me work for you! I... I can be your assistant and I am willing to do everything for you! I only ask the Creator to allow me to learn from you, even if... Even if it's just for a year... One month... No, no, no, a week is fine!! β
Loka was able to become the chief doctor of Kaleva, and he also developed the [Turbidity Reagent], which can be regarded as a very powerful turbidity technology for the world five hundred years later, and its strength should naturally not be underestimated.
His energy cannot be denied because of his current humble posture.
If there is the addition of Loka, if nothing else, at least it is easy to hold Kaleva in his hands, and indirectly it is equivalent to controlling most of the black cave gathering place.
Irene, who was behind the young man, wanted to say something to Liao Ji several times under this scene, but in the end she didn't say anything, pursed her lips, and lowered her gaze to the ground.
After all, she has no right to interfere with Liao Ji's decision.
on this.
Liao Ji did not refuse Loka, but first seemed to think about it, and then opened his palm to the crazy doctor.
That's not about pulling the doctor up.
But...
I saw that from Liao Ji's palm, a spiral-shaped vortex of red mist quickly rose, and these mist turned faster and faster, and then condensed more and more, until finally, in a few blinks of an eye, the transformation from "gaseous" to "solid" was completely completed.
Under Dr. Loka's stunned expression, from nothing, a dark red brand new crystal floated on Liao Ji's palm.
γTurbidity Crystals (Small)γ
Yes, after Irene completed the cleaning of the Kaleva factory, the huge amount of experience points allowed Liao Ji to jump smoothly to level seven.
Not only does it add an additional Doomer "Contract" slot, but it also unlocks the protagonist's new power, "Crystallization"
Now Liao Ji can use his experience points to take the initiative to produce [Turbidity Crystal], although it is still limited to small size.
"Your Creator... This... This is!! β
"For you."
"Hmm... Think of it as a reward. β
Liao Ji didn't lie, he did what he said, and threw his newly created [Turbidity Crystal (Small)] to Dr. Loka on the ground.
The man in the gray coat hurriedly took it, and was simply flattered to the extreme.
He didn't notice at all that once he left Liao Ji, this dark red crystal began to radiate and pollute violently around him, and all his attention now was fully immersed in this wonderful crystal.
In just a few seconds, the turbid red mist emitted by the crystals had already penetrated into the man's whole body along Dr. Loka's nose, ears, mouth, and even eyes.
"Uh-uh... Ahhh β
Finally, Dr. Loka, who had forcibly turned countless innocent ordinary people into turbid corpse monsters with his own hands, also turned into turbid corpses while holding his most beloved and dreamy treasure crystal.
Liao Ji thinks that this ending is quite suitable for him.
"Why are you still stunned?" Liao Ji's urging voice woke up Irene, who had happened too fast and hadn't come back to her senses.
The girl raised her knife and cleanly finished off Dr. Loka, who had turned into a muddy corpse.
[Ding, your Doomer "Irene" successfully killed [Fallen Mad Doctor Loka], and you gained 329 experience points for it]
[Current Level: Lv7]
[Remaining to the next level: 412/1200]
"Hmm... It seems that I have found a good shortcut to upgrade again, and I will kill those powerful people who are infected into monsters by crystallization, so that this time is equivalent to a white wolf with empty gloves, and a lot of experience points will be earned for nothing..."
"Uh, it just sounds like a villain, forget it, don't use this trick until you have to, um..."
Liao Ji is still a very stingy person, doing experiments is one thing, Dr. Loka robbed Falm and a lot of gangsters of the head experience points, which Liao Ji has to let him spit out again.
On the other hand, listening to the young man, he began to talk to himself again that he did not understand.
Irene really couldn't hold back, and still asked what she had been holding in her heart for a long time.
"I... I thought you would..."
"What will I do? Do you really take him as a subordinate, or do you give him a contract like you? Do you think he... Is it worthy? Liao Ji asked rhetorically.
"He..."
Of course he didn't deserve it, and Irene knew that very well in her heart.
That's why another question for the girl arises.
She... Is it worthy?
From the beginning of herself and the old antique entering the factory in Kaleva, to the end now, Irene recalled the self-introduction that Liao Ji had made in the [Ruins Cave] at that time.
It was a simple seven-word introduction - "I am the Ash Emperor." β
From the current point of view, no matter how blind Irene is, she is sure that Liao Ji was really a great man five hundred years ago, after all, whether it is a crystal, a relic, or that magical contract, it proves this.
Even, there is no one possibility, just a possibility.
What the old antique said is true.
He... He's really...
Irene didn't dare to think any further.
And what is she? A grave robber? A little scavenger? One even... Someone who once pointed a sword at Liao Ji? Looking at the tragic death of the leader of Kaleva now, and the transformation of the doctor into a monster, Irene felt that she was still alive, what a miracle, what a...
"Hey, Miss Irene, don't think nonsense, it's useless for you to regret it now, I won't let you go after eating so many of my resources, at least I have to squeeze your surplus value dry."
Liao Ji said viciously to the girl, completely looking like a stingy landlord, Irene was speechless for a moment, then bowed her head and was silent for a moment, and finally gently spit out two words.
"Thanks... Thank you. β
"Hey! What you're doing makes me want to start a CPU class. Liao Ji shook his head.
"Let's go, although I have a hunch that Auntie is still alive and well, and she must be fine, but it would be better for us to hurry up."
Irene wanted to say that it was a church, and it was completely different from a gang like Kaleva, and she didn't want to drag down the youth because of herself.
But looking at the indifferent expression on Liao Ji's face, Irene knew that maybe in her eyes, it was a behemoth, as the largest and only official force in the Holy Country, in the eyes of the young man opposite...
It's really...
Doesn't matter?
That's nice... It's a reassuring feeling.
Irene nodded and was about to follow Liao Ji's side, but before she could take one more step, she was directly top-heavy, and soon her eyes were black, and she fell to the ground with a plop.
Fortunately, Liao Ji reacted quickly and hurriedly grabbed the girl.
After a quick check, Liao Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not a big deal, maybe it just broke through to the "dangerous level", and after another fierce battle, the whole time was tense, but as soon as the back relaxed a little, the already exhausted body directly counterattacked, making Irene fall asleep.
It's really terrible to calculate carefully, from the girl's "digging grave" to starting by herself, so many things have happened in just half a day, and it's no wonder that Irene can't hold back, so is this a... The curse of retribution for tomb robbing?
Liao Ji shook his head.
Okay.
told you to lie down to win, you really "lay".
But...
That's not a bad thing.
It just so happens that there are some things that will be troublesome with Irene, so it's better to act alone.
"The church..."
Muttering in his mouth, Liao Ji walked towards the outside of the factory with the sleeping Irene in his arms, but halfway through, Liao Ji stopped again because he almost forgot.
"Woohoo! Woooooooooooooooo β
I saw a gangster in a hidden corner, tied up by a large number of flowers, looking at the young man approaching him with a frightened face.
This is the old oil gangster who took Liao Ji and the girl into the factory to "rub the soup and drink" at the beginning, Artur.
"Well, Atul... What came from? I'm sorry I forgot your name, but thank you, thanks to you for leading the way, and telling me that there are "relics" in it, and as a reward in return, I also helped you serve this factory in a pot, how about it, enough fun, right? Now you finally don't have to make black money with your conscience! β
"Woooooo Woooooooooooooooo Artur, with a rag in his mouth, shook his head frantically in tears.
It can be seen that he doesn't seem to like his reward very much.
Liao Ji sighed with deep regret.
"Hey, don't be so nervous, now that everyone here is dead, you are the only one who can prove my righteousness and bravery, I am not the kind of person who likes to do good deeds without leaving a name, so I have to count on you, and when the time comes, you will invite me to give credit in the Knights!"
"By the way..."
"Can you borrow a cell phone and let me make a call?"
