"Dead ...... He's dead? ”

Everyone looked at Northrend's disappearing head, at the blood gushing all over the ground, and at the clown pattern that reappeared, and couldn't help but fall silent.

Again, the trail was interrupted.

Unexpectedly, Northrend's death would come so suddenly and without warning.

Before the information could be spoken, something happened to him.

Chen Ye, Chenxi, and Bai Chen maintained a calm look on their faces, as if they had expected this scene.

In the game of Strange Ages, there are already features that restrict subordinates from saying taboo content.

However, the blood splattered from Northrend's death, converging into a clown pattern, seemed to indicate that the mastermind behind the scenes had clearly anticipated the situation today.

The real enemy doesn't know who it is, but the unknown mysterious being has quietly blended into the player base, lurking in the deepest depths, quietly staring at everyone.

Gamer? Aboriginal? Or is it an otherworldly existence?

No one knows the answer......

In the silence, Bai Chen was the first to speak, breaking the silence:

"Alas, I didn't have any expectations, you see that this guy doesn't want to speak, obviously, even if he does, it's useless."

"What now?" Matthew frowned, "Among the players, there are perverted villains who take pleasure in destroying other players?" ”

Bai Chen smiled and asked:

"Do you think the current players, at this point of development, can really obtain this level of power?"

Matthew was stunned, then his eyes sank into deep thought.

Chenxi took a deep breath and looked at Bai Chen and said:

"Now, if you know something, don't hide it."

"This matter is not trivial, I am afraid that it has affected the life and death of all our players!"

"What else do you know?"

Bai Chen smiled, his right hand wearing white gloves, and his index finger pointed to the second rule of the billboard.

"Exchanging information?" Dawn's eyes moved slightly, "What do you want to know?" ”

"Thirteen Chapters of the Soul." Bai Chen said.

As soon as the words fell, Chenxi and Chen Ye raised their heads at the same time and looked at Bai Chen.

This guy ...... Why are you also interested in "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul"?

At this moment, the old man Erhu said faintly on the side:

"Actually, even if a person dies, it may not be impossible to speak...... For example, the scroll that this boss just grabbed has the ability to make dead people speak. ”

"So, even if that guy is dead, but if he can get the power in it, it may not be impossible for the dead man to open his mouth and tell relevant information."

"It's just that...... It is said that this is the last piece of music that has never been played, and it has the ability to have. ”

The moment the old man finished speaking......

Everyone in the room turned their heads almost at the same time, including the player and the clergy of the Church of the Sun.

"How do you know?"

The priest suddenly stood up, stared at the old man Erhu, and asked hoarsely.

There seems to be no record of this figure in the church......

However, "The Thirteen Chapters of the Soul" is the core of the church, and the scroll of the final chapter involves a deep secret.

Not to mention the sacrifice, even if you reach the level of a bishop, you may not be able to know the hidden secret.

This old man, who didn't know where he came from on the side of the road, casually told the top secret of the Sun Church?

What is the origin?

The old man of Erhu looked like an old god was there, and his tone was slightly innocent:

"Oh, young man, why are you so excited?"

"Old man, I have lived a long time, wandered a lot, and naturally have a little more knowledge."

"Isn't it strange to know this?"

Chenxi couldn't help but show a strange look, in fact, the "young man" in the mouth of the old erhu was already a sacrifice that had reached an advanced age of more than two hundred years.

In the normal world before the Advent, turtles may not live that long, and the church is considered a living fossil.

But when it came to the mouth of the old man of Erhu, he became a "young man"?

For some reason, when the old man Erhu spoke, Chen glanced at Bai Chen and found that the other party's casual expression had been somewhat restrained, and he had obviously become much more focused.

He saw that the hands with white gloves had changed from the original posture of crossing their hands to their chests to being inserted in their pockets.

Still shivering slightly.

After a while.

Bai Chen smiled, took out the scroll of "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" from his pocket, and put it in front of Chenxi:

"Actually, I'm only interested in the case itself, and as for this thing being your Sun Church, it's of little use to me."

"But ......"

"I've been interrogating you for so long, and of course I can't work in vain."

"In exchange, I need a low-order trait item from the [Sun] sequence, as well as information about Soul Crossing Chapter 13."

"Don't get me wrong, I need this information, it's just a guess."

A Bright Priest couldn't stand it at all, and scolded Bai Chen angrily:

"You demon, this sacred scroll is what our church is supposed to ......"

At this moment, a cold aura suddenly enveloped the pastor's body.

The ground beneath his feet was suddenly covered in black shadows.

The surrounding lights dimmed, and the huge black shadow covered the entire café, like the shadow of a demon, slowly extending, projecting a huge curtain on the walls and floor, dancing wildly.

The priest was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly felt a danger of death, and the rest of the rebuke was swallowed into his stomach, his face was covered with cold sweat, and the look on his face was like being choked by the throat of fate.

Bai Chen's indifferent gaze swept over the priest's whole body, and said lightly:

"In my café, it's better to be quiet and not disturb the other guests to drink coffee normally."

"It's courtesy!"

Chenxi raised her hand to signal the priest to calm down, and then her eyes fell on Bai Chen's body, and said:

"Your conditions, I can promise you."

After all, at this juncture, there is also an unknown enemy in the shadows.

It's not a good idea to clash with a leaderboard player who may also have hidden information.

Especially, everyone is still on each other's turf now!

"You should learn from your holy woman."

Bai Chen hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled, and then withdrew the black shadow.

"When your boss is negotiating, as a qualified subordinate, you should learn to shut up!"

The priest sat on the ground, trembling slightly, and did not dare to say a word more.

Soon.

Dawn handed over a silver holy sword.

This is the trait item that dropped when the [Light Warriors] died in the copy of the Scarlet Building not long ago.

The warriors and priests of the light sequence are all part of the first-turn profession, and the characteristic items dropped from them are placed in the Church of the Burning Sun, which are mass-produced items, and their value is not very high.

And all Bai Chen needs is a low-trait item of the [Sun] sequence.

These silver swords and Bible books originally needed to be handed over to the Burning Sun Church, but Dawn, as the main leader of this battle, has the status of a saint and has certain rights to dispose of these special items.

Subsequently.

Dawn recalled the knowledge about "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul", organized some language in her mind, and spoke:

"Originally, there were only 12 chapters of the "Thirteen Chapters of the Soul", and according to legend, it was the 'Chapter of the Spirit' created by Forrest, which adapted the Bible that extradited the world into art music, and produced 12 different music scores, which have been passed down to this day."

"The [Sun] sequence of the Department of Arts can be played through different instruments through the score left by Forrest, communicate with our master, and obtain the power of the gift of [Sun]."

"But the last legendary bishop, von . . . Lucius, during a catastrophe in the Church of the Sun, revised the 'Chapter of the Spirits' to include the final chapter of the thirteenth. ”

"The main tone of the original twelve chapters has also been revised, and it seems to have acquired an unknown, mysterious, and transcendent power!"

"With this power, the Church of the Sun survived that catastrophe, and Lucius became the most outstanding bishop in hundreds of years."

"From then on, he revised the 'Spirit Chapter' to the 'Thirteen Chapters of the Soul'."

"It's just...... Chapter 13 seems to contain a transcendent, uncontrollable force. ”

"During Lucius's tenure, no member of the Church was allowed to touch the contents of the Final Chapter."

"After his death, several bishops tried to gain the power in it and play it."

"Results ......"

"They're crazy without exception!"

Speaking of this, the priest standing behind Chenxi said coldly:

"Demon, I advise you to stay away from this force, as a dangerous item that the Sun Church has not controlled so far, if you rashly touch it, you will only play with fire and burn yourself."

"I'm so scared!"

Bai Chen exclaimed a little exaggeratedly, pulled out the scroll, and threw it to Chenxi:

"Since this thing is so dangerous, I'll give it back to you."

"Alright, it's my turn to reveal something."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen, don't you think there are too many coincidences in this city, and the sense of déjà vu that often appears in the process of playing?"

Déjà vu?

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ye, Chenxi, Matthew and other players all bowed their heads in contemplation.

To be honest, after coming into this world, there has indeed been a sense of déjà vu quite often.

For example, the feeling of meeting certain people, or being digested in the process of playing......

There is an inexplicable sense of déjà vu!

It's like ...... It seems that this happened a long time ago.

"Play?"

Chen Ye closed his eyes and began to recall the experiences after his arrival.

Indeed, every time I act, the feeling of digestion is as if I have already mastered the corresponding skills and suddenly become handy.

But why did similar abilities emerge?

It's not that simple, it's as if the power is instinctively used from the soul, as if it's innately familiar.

Dawn, Matthew and others also recalled the process of playing, and nodded their heads one after another, indicating that they had similar feelings.

And then there's ...... Coincidental!

That's right.

The city's coincidences are indeed a bit too much.

Chen Ye found that the characteristic items he found seemed to be more or less functional.

Otherwise......

That is, when you wait until later, you will find that there is a hidden effect.

Moreover, this coincidence did not only appear on his own, such as when Northrend escaped, he actually took the initiative to appear at the door of Bai Chen's café.

This is not necessarily a coincidence.

Including Dawn also reflected that when she was exploring, it seemed that she would easily encounter some pollution, so as to exert her purification ability.

It was as if there was a hand of a god from heaven who turned into a helping hand to push everyone forward.

"What does the value of the weird value mean in reality?"

Chen Ye suddenly began to think about this question.

Originally, the higher the value in the general game, the stronger it should be.

But this is contrary to the core gameplay of "Spooky Age".

After all, in the original gameplay, collect traits to change classes, and the higher the class, the stronger the corresponding ability.

At the moment, it seems that the Warpy value can increase the understanding and use of class traits in playing, as well as increase certain traits to reach the upper limit.

That strange place is coming......

To put it another way, weird values can actually improve the player's operation?

Shouldn't the operation belong to the player, and can it still be improved with the game?

Even if it reaches the "upper limit", this is the ability that this trait should have.

At first, Chen Ye thought that this was a deepening of the influence of weird values on the role, but now, he is gradually trying to understand the true meaning.

"What else do you know?"

Chenxi raised her head, looked at Bai Chen and asked seriously.

"It's gone." Bai Chen shrugged his shoulders, "Like you, I just came to this world, but I thought a little more and investigated a little deeper, but don't think of me as an omniscient and omnipotent being." ”

"It's a pity that this guy can't speak."

Matthew glanced at Northrend's body with a little regret:

"If you can get specific information from him, it should be much easier."

At this moment, a voice came from the side:

"Who says he can't speak?"

Everyone turned their heads and found that the person who said this sentence was the old man Erhu.

Matthew frowned: "But he's dead, a dead man, how can he talk...... Unless someone can pop up the final chapter. ”

"Hehe, young man, you're right." The old man Erhu smiled, "It just so happens that the old man still has a bit of craftsmanship, although I am old and my hands are rusty, but the problem of popping up the final chapter should not be big." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and looked at the old erhu with a gaze full of surprise, shock and deep disbelief.

"Are you kidding?"

The Bright Priest stood up and laughed angrily.

Today, one by one, they are flouting the authority of the church!

First, he killed a [demon] halfway and snatched the scroll of the Holy Sect, and then came the old man on the side of the road who came out of nowhere, saying that he could play the final chapter that even the bishop would lose control......

Chenxi looked at the old man Erhu in a slightly surprised way, and then his eyes fell on Chen Ye's body......

I saw Chen Ye stretch out his hand, looked at Chenxi and said:

"According to the agreement, I should be given permission to read the final chapter after completing this mission."

"Leave it to me."

There was a lot of confidence in that tone.

More precisely......

It seems that the number one master in front of him has full confidence in the mysterious master behind him!

Dawn pondered for a moment, realizing that this might be the only chance to get close to the truth!

The fate of all things seems to be strung together into the picture in front of you.

Then, as for the old man to play the final chapter, Dawn did not have any doubts.

She no longer hesitated, and handed the "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" that she had just received from Bai Chen to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye held the scroll in his hand and slowly spread it out in front of him.

The notes of the first twelve chapters, though incomplete, are roughly the same as those seen in the public gallery of the church that day.

However......

Gradually turn to the page of the final chapter......

The ink-colored symbol on it seemed to be distorted chaotically in the field of vision.

Even if you look at it directly, you will feel dizzy, as if your self-consciousness is slowly dissolving.

Any score constitutes a chaotic picture, like a black mosaic, and it is impossible to see the specific position of the notes, the direction of the score, and the rhythm and melody contained in it......

If you look at it again, you will feel like you're going crazy.

At this moment, the gentle voice of the old man Erhu came from next to him:

"Don't be in such a hurry, you need a bizarre drink to calm your mind and bring your body and mind to the best state so that you can put on a special performance."

Chen Ye's mind gradually withdrew from the chaotic score.

From the words of the old man Erhu, he suddenly realized what he needed to do.

The next second.

Chen Ye took out the mountain and river rolls and took out the cup of [Bloody Mary] that was stored.

"Oh!"

Bai Chen pretended to point to the drink and smiled proudly:

"I'll just say, I'm the main character, you see that my items always play a role in the most critical moments!"

Chen Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

It seems that there is more than one player who says that he is the protagonist in front of him......

He took out the scarlet glass and saw the glass lines in the cup, connecting the "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" in front of him, the purple qi in the aura of the old erhu man next to him, and the golden star of his own.

It's time to swallow this deadly drink!

Chen Ye no longer hesitated, and immediately drank the [Bloody Mary] in the cup.

The moment the scarlet wine was swallowed, a spicy sensation flowed down the throat, as if the entire esophagus, connected to the stomach and intestines, began to burn!

At that moment, Chen Ye felt dizzy in his brain, and there seemed to be a maddening whisper in his ears, surrounding in all directions, and letting out a roar that was about to deafen......

The moment I opened my eyes again......

In front of the field of vision, the inky mosaic that shrouded the final volume of "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" has disappeared!

On the score, the inky notes become clear, and you can see their position on the score, and you can see the direction of the melody......

It was not a score created for "people" at all, as if it was played exclusively for the existence above the heavens, for the undead in the underworld......

This piece is a piece of music tailored for the conscience of the "dead"!

The surrounding corridors of gray air masses no longer appear in vague garbled characters, but gradually outline into human faces, including men, women, old people, and children......

Their numb faces suddenly revealed a hint of surprise, centered on Chen Ye and the old erhu, turning into a gray vortex and standing around them together, forming a circle, like an audience about to enjoy a concert.

Chenxi and the others looked at each other, and they all felt the temperature of the café, as if it was suddenly cold for a few points.

The corners of Bai Chen's mouth were slightly hooked:

"Next, it seems that a good show is starting to play!"

At this moment, Chen Ye took out the suona, and the old man took out the erhu.

In the midst of the whirlpool of the souls of the dead, the master and apprentice began to play the final chapter of the soul-crossing song!

(End of chapter)
