Chapter 27: Ophelice Manor (21)

"Tell me, what can I get by helping you?" Chu Chen stretched out his right hand and smiled faintly.

The latter frowned and sneered: "Benefits? Although I don't know what the real purpose of you travelers is,

But do you think this estate is such a good place to go out? If we don't work together, where we are now is what we will be after you. ”

"I don't have to worry about whether I can go out or not, take 10,000 steps back, it's actually safer for me not to provoke this so-called 'it', right?"

The smile on Chu Chen's face did not decrease, and his right hand was still hanging in the air:

"Don't make a mistake, there is no way out until death is only the three of you, if you want me to work hard with you, at least you have to show the value that makes me desperate, right?"

The short-haired woman pursed her lips, and finally held it with Chu Chen's right hand: "I know it's dangerous, but do you still choose to fight for your life for the sake of profit?" Really greedy. ”

She had to admit that what the other party said was right.

Chu Chen is different from them, he has stayed in the manor for a short time, and he has not been completely corrupted by "it", so if he wants to get out, he can still get out with some effort.

And judging from the performance and behavioral logic of this group of passengers, although they are a little immature, they are by no means general.

The means are peculiar but not united, poorly prepared and less intellectual.

The most important thing is that they must stay in the castle for some reason or until some condition is met!

The short-haired woman thought to herself, and combined with the above points, she came to a conclusion.

First of all, these people are not regular army of the kingdom, because the strength, knowledge, and discipline are so terrible.

Secondly, these people are no ordinary mercenaries, because everyone has such advanced means as "space magic".

So......

Is it the madmen in the Tower?

And judging from the strength configuration of these people, they should only be responsible for reconnaissance, and the main force is probably still behind.

No wonder he is so fearless, he is the last person left to possess the information alone, and he is not afraid that no one will pick him up!

Thinking of this, the short-haired woman secretly exhaled and asked, "What do you want?" Say it up front, we have very little control over the manor right now, and we can do less than you think. ”

"Equipment, props, magic, whether it is long-term or short-term, as long as it can enhance my strength."

The two clasped hands, and a plush figure flashed in Chu Chen's mind, and asked,

"I left Lilith's bear doll inside yesterday when I triggered the slab rule, can you help get it back and fix it?"

"Bear dolls?" The short-haired woman was a little puzzled, and turned to look at the Baroness and her eldest daughter.

The latter two thought for a moment and nodded slightly, and then the figure of the second girl suddenly disappeared, and suddenly appeared a few seconds later.

At a fixed glance, the bear doll that was broken into several pieces was suddenly held by the second daughter.

Chu Chen noticed that the figure of the second daughter seemed to be a little lighter, and her breath was a little weaker than just now, and her eyes narrowed slightly: "Can it be repaired?" ”

The eldest daughter, Jessica, nodded, she tilted her head to look at her mother, showing a wry smile, and there was a little reluctance in her eyes.

The latter also gently held her in his arms, although he couldn't make a sound, but his shaking shoulders all told the emotions of the moment.

After a long time, the mother and daughter separated, and a bright light emitted from the two daughters, merging into the bear doll's body.

The shattered bodies were re-stitched, and the severed right arm and eyes were successfully regrown in the light.

After the light passed, the brand-new bear doll slowly flew into Chu Chen's arms.

After doing this, the second daughter bowed deeply to Chu Chen, and her figure gradually faded, and finally dissipated in the wind like smoke.

After the second daughter disappeared, the short-haired woman's head hung down, and her eyes were a little complicated:

"After my death, the Baron secretly hid his heart and tried to save the decaying Ophelis family by selling it to the black market at a high price."

"He wouldn't have known who the owner of the heart was, and if he had, he would never have made such a stupid decision to leave 'it' exposed without any treatment, and in just a few days, the entire manor would have been completely corroded."

"Not only the Baron and his family, but also the servants of the manor, the poultry, the travelers, and even my corpse, as long as they are contaminated by it, the soul will be imprisoned here forever after death, and become the nourishment of 'it'."

"The soul strength of several of us is stronger than that of ordinary people, so we can resist the devouring of 'it' for a short time, but now 'it' is getting stronger and stronger, and we are getting weaker and weaker."

The short-haired woman looked up at Chu Chen, and the latter noticed that the facial features on the former's forced smile were slowly fading.

She couldn't hold out for long.

"We can only give you so much, taking and repairing this doll is enough to consume all the strength of their mother and daughter, you are our last hope, please help us."

Chu Chen didn't speak, but looked down at the bear doll, not knowing what he was thinking.

[Name: Bear Doll - Taylorby]

[Type: Others]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Taylorby is no longer Lilith's knight, it is now fighting for you.] 】

[Equipment Condition: No. 7 (Chu Chen)]

[Note: A bear doll with strength and sensitivity double 7 (other attributes are 5), can independently absorb divine power to maintain its own actions, the body of the doll will not bleed, and it will not die due to fatal injuries, but weak fire, weak slash. 】

Bear dolls can now be taken out!

"Thanks to you for saving me before." Chu Chen smiled, put away the bear doll, and moved his gaze to the short-haired woman,

"Tell me about your plan, what do you want me to do?"

The short-haired woman nodded, turned around and said, "Follow me." ”

The two left the storage room and came to the hall on the first floor, where the short-haired woman stretched out her hand to the room in the deepest part of the hall and opened her mouth:

"That room is the seat of the heart and the source of the corrosion of the entire manor, and we souls will be controlled as soon as we get close, so it's up to you to destroy it."

"The deepest part of the hall?" Chu Chen frowned.

[5. Do not enter the room in the deepest part of the hall, and if you enter for any reason, do not touch anything.] 】

Going in will trigger the rule.

Although there was a precedent of "triggering the rules but successfully killing them" before, he had strong teammates around him at that time.

Now he is alone, and going alone is no different from being sent to death!

I'm not enough alone.

Chu Chen knew this very well, but another text flashed in his mind that made it difficult for him to refuse.

[The Hidden Quest has been activated by detecting that the Trialist has reached the trigger condition of the Hidden Quest (surviving to the third day and being the sole survivor, possessing the "Key of the House Master" and amicably cooperating with the "Uncorrupted Soul"). 】

[Hidden Mission: Destroy "It"!] 】

[Mission Time Limit: Before the end of the main quest.] 】

[Quest reward: "It". 】

[Note: This hidden quest is extremely difficult, and will greatly increase the difficulty of completing the main quest, the trialist can refuse without any punishment, but will lose the only chance to obtain "it".] 】

"The only chance to ......" Chu Chen's eyes stayed on these four words for two more points.

Reason kept reminding him in his head that he must refuse this hidden task.

The benefits he has reaped in this trial are enough, and if he can survive and bring it out, his strength will definitely skyrocket!

It's not worth all the benefits for a "it" that doesn't know what it does.

But......

Chu Chen's eyes slowly showed a hint of madness, he felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling at this moment, and deep down he seemed that something was about to wake up.

【Gluttony】!

Everyone's bloodline is fixed, and the alien beast represented by the bloodline largely reflects the personality traits of the owner.

[gluttony] is a symbol of greed, and the four words "the only chance" are too lethal for Chu Chen!

"It's not enough, it's just that these are not enough, if I go out like this, I'm still not the opponent of the white hair."

Chu Chen closed his eyes, and familiar and warm figures flashed in his mind.

Dean, Nursing Sister, Younger Siblings, and ......

Slowly opening his eyes, Chu Chen's eyes were cold and cold:

"Bai Mao is not like the kind of guy who can only talk ruthlessly, if he really does something to the orphanage, even if he clears this trial, it will still be difficult for me to have the strength to compete with him."

"I can't pin the safety of the orphanage on 'Bai Mao can't actually do anything, just scare me', the guy who threatens my family, I have to become stronger than him!"
