Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Manor of Ophelix (22)
Kasbah, ground floor hall.
Chu Chen took a deep look at the depths of the hall, and his face became more and more gloomy.
It's just a very ordinary small room, but the aura emanating from it makes people's hairs stand upside down, like a fish in the throat.
"If that guy has control of the entire castle, then wouldn't I go in alone and be the enemy of the ghasts of the entire castle?"
The risk was too great, and Chu Chen didn't think he was strong enough to survive from so many ghast mouths.
In fact, his hard power is very weak, and among the known trialists, Dahan and Baimao are obviously stronger than him.
But often the people who survive to the end are not judged by their strength, but by whether they can quickly adapt to changes.
Although the former is infinitely powerful, the end is that he is bitten alive by ghasts, although he will not really die.
But it hurts!
The latter was even deprived of his vision and voice when he had a multi-fold difference in strength, and the two encounters were played with applause, and he lost his temper directly.
Paradise doesn't issue mortal quests, so there should be a chance of victory.
Chu Chen lowered his head and pondered, for a long time, he opened his mouth: "The danger factor is too great, what other information is there?" Tell me both. ”
The short-haired woman let out a breath and replied with a wry smile:
"There must be dangers, in fact there have been other travelers who have helped us before, but all of them have failed, maybe they are among the ghasts you have encountered."
"That guy's body is actually very fragile and easy to destroy, but the problem is that 'it' doesn't know how many souls it has eaten during this time.
There are so many ghasts protecting 'it' that we can't get close, so we can only help you block the outside of the door, and the inside of the door is up to you. ”
"I ...... Guys? Chu Chen raised his eyebrows,
"Besides you, are there any other souls that haven't been corrupted?"
The short-haired woman nodded: "Yes, but her situation is a bit special, you have played with her before." ”
"Played...... Not. A figure flashed in his mind, and Chu Chen's face became a little strange,
"Lilith?"
"Well, when you enter the room, I will ask her to come out and block the ghasts outside, this girl can't control her desires, she can't meet you, otherwise it will be easy to have an accident."
The short-haired woman replied in the affirmative, thought for a moment, and said:
"She's special, unlike us souls, she won't be easily manipulated by 'it', although it's a big threat to you travelers, but that's all based on your encounter, as long as you don't meet, she will be a good helper."
"This girl is really scary."
Remembering that when I was on the second floor, the portrait ghasts of the entire building shrank back in horror when they saw Lilith.
This deterrent, if it is a helper, is really reassuring.
Chu Chen nodded slightly, and asked again, "What do you mean by something special?" Can you elaborate on that? ”
He hadn't forgotten the "Optional Quest 2", which needed to figure out the truth about what was happening in the manor, and right now that the short-haired girl was around, he just had to ask anything.
The short-haired woman looked down and thought for a moment and said:
"You also know that when people die, their souls will dissipate, but because of the existence of 'it', the entire manor has been corrupted, and all of us souls who should have been dispersed are trapped in the manor, and can only be forced to become the nourishment for 'it' recovery."
"But this girl is different, she's not a soul body, no, I should say...... She's not Lilith. ”
"Not Lilith?" Chu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Recalling the other party's strange behavior before, his eyes moved, and an idea popped up in his brain.
Why are her eyes buttons? Why is her mouth sewn with thin threads? Why is her room not on the third floor but on the first floor? Why is her limbs so uncoordinated when she runs?
She ...... It's the girl doll toy Lilith is holding in the portrait of the hall! ”
"That's right, in fact, the real little girl was taken away by the guy who didn't know where she came from very early." The short-haired woman nodded, and continued,
"Now this fake, like the bear in your hand, has been exposed to a corrupted environment full of soul bodies for a long time, and has more or less integrated into part of the soul and developed self-awareness."
"The little girl used to like to play with this fake as herself, and subtly, her gradually formed self-consciousness was substituted into the role of 'Lilith'."
"I see." Chu Chen nodded, thoughtful.
The information he has now can basically deduce the "truth of what happened in the manor".
Plus he has already "discovered the hidden ghast" and is currently the identity of "the only trialist who survives alone".
If he can clear this trial, not only the baron's "Great Sword" and "Bear Doll", but he will also get the "Main Quest" plus three "Optional Missions" as an additional reward!
Fly straight!
"How's it going?" The short-haired woman looked at Chu Chen.
Although the tone was very flat, the expectant eyes that couldn't be concealed still revealed what she was thinking.
"There are so many things, I really can't bear to die." Chu Chen lowered his head and smiled, silently summoned the shadow, and took out the kitchen knife.
Under the puzzled expression of "I don't understand" on the short-haired woman's face, a person and a figure slowly walked towards the gloomy door:
"Think about it, you two are out there and give me a little longer, I'm going to ...... this guy! ”
"Ha, that's handsome." Looking at the slightly emaciated back in her sight, the short-haired woman had divergent thoughts and her eyes were a little distracted.
She was stunned for a while, and it wasn't until Chu Chen walked to the door that she came back to her senses and realized that she should go to Lilith.
turned around, ran two steps, stopped, couldn't help but glance back at Chu Chen, and whispered to his mouth:
"Please, you must win......"
……
G-8069, the continent of Letsis, is also known as the Continent of Swords and Sorcery and Evil Gods by the Inquisitor.
In the southwest of the continent, in a small, deserted and dilapidated village.
Beast heads, human bodies, countless stumps and broken flesh were scattered everywhere, and a green viscous liquid like blood was everywhere.
A long-haired man sat cross-legged on the roof of a small house that had not yet collapsed, staring into the distance, his slightly feminine face full of smiles.
At the bottom of the house, another woman, who was cleaning the booty, noticed him, frowned, picked up a stone, and threw it over:
"You're a girl! We're packing up, what are you doing? Anyway, decorate me! ”
"Shh The long-haired man tilted his head to dodge, put his finger to his mouth, and the smile on his face did not diminish.
"How can you be happy when you look at what you laugh at?" Curious, the woman jumped on the roof and sat down next to the long-haired man.
Following the man's line of sight, the woman opened her mouth suspiciously: "That's the newcomer area over there, isn't it...... Where is the last piece of heart? ”
The long-haired man smiled and nodded, his right hand covered his left chest hard, his face was a little flushed, and his tone was trembling slightly: "I can feel the beating of 'it', someone is challenging 'it'!" ”
"Tsk, after so long, finally a newcomer dares to break into the hidden mission? I remember that the Black Gate Society seemed to spend a lot of money to send a junior with bloodline in, presumably that guy, right? ”
The woman pursed her lips and hummed in a low voice: "It's not easy to grab the things of the Black Gate Society, really, if it weren't for the fact that the paradise is not allowed, I would have taken this heart away a long time ago." ”
"It doesn't matter." The long-haired man stood up from the roof, his face flushed unabated, and his smile became more and more terrifying.
"There are many sins, don't you weigh down, are there fewer young masters and young ladies who died in our hands?"
