For Edmund's words, although Rann was a little moved, but unfortunately, the player can't actually kill.

But it's not that killing the player will be useless.,After all, in the eyes of the people of this world.,The player's character card is dead.,The person who dealt with them in their eyes is also dead.,Even if the player's car card is similar in the future, it won't be mistaken for one.,That is to say, if the destiny is in me, they are really killed by Edmund.,Then even if they can join the inspection bureau again,,You'll have to start from scratch.。

Rann tactfully told Edmund about the characteristics of some players, and Edmund only said that he understood, but did not say that he wanted to cancel the operation, but only reassured Ran

"I don't act impulsively."

Edmund hadn't sent any more messages since that prayer, and Lance was relieved when Archie later reported to him that Edmund was fine.

Although I don't know why Archie also got into the Inspectorate, at least he and Edmund can still take care of each other, and Archie is different from Edmund, he is not a member of the Inspectorate, and he doesn't have any criminal record, even if he has anything to do with cults, no one in this free belief country can use this reason to arrest him, so Rann is not very worried about Archie's current situation.

Most of his attention is still on the player's side, and as the camp progresses on a daily basis, the rest of the players' various riot operations gradually surface.

Originally, Rann thought that the way they farmed their daily lives in the Hidden Church was outrageous, but the facts told him that what the players did in the Hidden Church was actually quite restrained, and when they joined other camps, it was called presumptuous.

There are not many operations like backstabbing, and Cullens even rarely complains to him that players report gangs too often, which has greatly affected his work, and now that only black poker is not reported, it will arouse the suspicion of other organizations, so he has to report himself and the like.

In addition to gangs, the most players can join cults and secret societies that have infiltrated from other places, similar to the information that Edmund reported to Rann in the first place, and these forces are also targeting gatekeepers.

As for how Rann knows.

Oh, players often upload similar information without a sense of secrecy, so now when Rann is browsing the forums, he can often brush up on the task of sneaking into the police station to find information, and the organization is assigned to infiltrate the citizens of Arkham to investigate the previous shutdown and so on.

Rann was worried that the player joining these forces would have some bad results for him, but now he thinks he is too worried.

The power of the Hidden Church has been established, and it is the camp that most players are mainly deeply cultivated, as long as they don't think about it, they will generally not go against the Hidden Church, and those players who join other forces mainly want to see what benefits other camps have to take, and now they find that whether it is welfare or anything, it is not as good as the Hidden Church, so naturally there will be no loyalty at all.

Even Rann suspects that if the main story is opened at that time, these players hiding in other organizations will not hesitate to sell these organizations.

So, the mood gradually eased, anyway, it was not him and his secret church who were unlucky at that time.

During these three days, in addition to tracking the player's movements, Rann also has the ability to continue to familiarize himself with himself.

At present, his power is mainly composed of the following:

1. The origin ability of the believer, Edmund's clown state can temporarily improve combat effectiveness and physical fitness, Rann tried it briefly before, and found that in addition to physical fitness, it has been improved again, probably because Edmund's current dream gap layer is higher.

The second is the origin of Archie, the Sphinx, who has three opportunities to ask questions every day, but the scope of the problem cannot exceed its own level, otherwise it will be seriously countered (what the Sphinx said)

Rann later learned that if he hadn't given the Sphinx spirituality in the first place, he could still ask questions, but the Sphinx, who didn't have wisdom, wouldn't have reminded the questioner that the question was more than he could know.

That is to say, once you ask something you shouldn't ask, you will be directly counterattacked.

2. It's his own ability, in addition to the gap in the dream, Rann currently has some unspeakable messy abilities, such as the weird attraction on his face, which can get weird and human affection, and if it is a human being in a state of mental trance, it is easier to make it attract and become a believer.

As well as the strange self-healing ability, and the gradually tougher skin, Rann tested it with a knife, and now the ordinary blade has no way to hurt himself, and if he cuts it with all his strength, the wound will disappear quickly.

The last is to draw the magic pattern, make enchanted weapons, this is also taught by Ogle, at present, Rann can make the highest B-level enchanted weapons, and most of the weapons produced are biased towards healing, bloodsucking, growth, and decay, and the specific effect depends on opening the blind box.

3, it's the kingdom of God, to be honest, Rann himself doesn't quite remember how this came about, only that it was the power he used to go berserk that infiltrated into the magic circle in the atrium, and then maybe because of this, the copy of the hospital remained, and it became Ran's kingdom of God, where Rann can mobilize a lot of authority, which is almost equal to invincibility.

4. It's something like permission obtained in the gap of dreams. The first is the dice obtained on the first layer, which Rann has used many times, and the effect is no different from the dice used for running the group, but it is more controllable.

The scepter obtained by the second layer is currently used to attack the weird, which can absorb their spirituality to replenish itself, and endow foreign objects with spirituality, which is also the ability that Rann wants to test the most.

It's a pity that the Sphinx was given spirituality last time, and it seems that the spirituality it stored has been used up, and the lines on the scepter have been in a bleak state for the past few days, and it may need to be replenished with spirituality.

Hearing this, Ogle suddenly stood up without saying a word, and then went to the outer realm.

Five minutes later, he returned with a questioning look on Rann's face, holding a strange one in his hand.

"Is this enough? It's not enough for me to catch it again. ”

He was carrying a C-class human-faced crow in his hand, the crow was now half-dead, and if Rann read it correctly, it should be the one that often stayed in the tree outside his mental clinic.

"Well, I'll try." The scepter resurfaced in Ran's hand, and the half-dead crow let out a hoarse cry when he saw the scepter, but was held tightly by Ogel's big hand, and Rann gently tapped the scepter on it.

Suddenly, the crow, which could still flutter twice, instantly withered, and pulled out a spiritual thread from its body that only Rann could see, just like the original Faceling, and the whole weird gradually dried up, until only a crow's skin remained behind.

Instead, the dull silver thread on the scepter brightened a little.

Rann closed his eyes for a moment, then took out a seed in his right hand and placed the extracted spirit on the seed.

This is where the change begins.

Rann thoughtfully threw the seed on the ground, and the seed burrowed into the dirt of the atrium on its own, and then began to sprout and grow spontaneously, and finally gradually grew into a small tree more than a meter tall.

Ogle just watched quietly, and as a result, the little tree grew to a height of more than a meter and did not change.

"Isn't it weird and not strong enough?" Ogle looked at the Soul Eater butterfly on Ran's shoulder.

Soul Eater silently grabbed the fabric from Ran's shoulder with her tentacles.

"No, this seed is not for the kingdom of God, so I just order it to stop growing for the time being." Ran's eyes lit up, "I finally understand why the Faun needs to have his own forest, and this forest refers to more than just the kingdom of God. ”

"The real function of this seed is to open up the tentacles of God's kingdom in reality."

Ran's ability in the kingdom of God will get a high increase, and he can control the monsters in the hospital, that is, the weirdness of the medical staff incarnated in their dreams, plus he can control the spatial structure here to a certain extent, which is why Rann has been staying in the kingdom of God recently, as long as he is here, he is basically invincible.

But the kingdom of God is not without limitations, first of all, it is built on the Arkham Hospital, it can be said that the Arkham Hospital has become the 'anchor' of the kingdom of God to some extent, if the hospital is destroyed in reality, the kingdom of God will not collapse completely, at least it will be affected to a certain extent.

Secondly, although Rann can go to the Kingdom of God from any place along the fog of the Dream Gap, if he leaves the Kingdom of God, his combat power in reality will be like that, neither high nor low.

But after the empowerment of the scepter, the spiritual plant that grows from this seed can take root in reality, and normal people can't see this plant, but as long as a forest grows in the spiritual plant gradually using the spiritual in reality, where the spiritual plant arrives, Rann can get the same amplification as in the kingdom of God, and all spiritual plants will extend his eyes, his senses and limbs.

That's what the scepter really does.

Construct an earthly kingdom of God.

Of course, the seed is not just taken and sprinkled, and the spiritual seed will only be planted in the soil by two kinds of people, one is Rann and the other is Ran's followers.

And it is required to be at least true believers, so that Rann can sprinkle spiritual seeds in reality through their hands. Secondly, when planting, it will consume the physical strength of true believers, if you don't want people to faint directly, an ordinary true believer can only plant one seed, and the transcendent person will have more than five.

…… That's very little! When will this be planted with a forest on the ground?

Rann closed his eyes, and then in the darkness, he seemed to be able to faintly see dozens of points of light.

At present, the number of true believers has grown to more than 100 people, originally Rann thought that as long as he became a true believer, there would be a small point of light in his dream, but the truth is that no, except for Edmund and them, the rest of the true believers can roughly sense what they are doing, and know their identity, and now there is one more option to plant spiritual seeds in their place, and the rest is gone.

This seems to vaguely represent the white dots of light in the dream gap, and there may be other meanings.

But then again, why are there so many people?

Is that god-in-earth player working so hard?

Rann remembered God's pyramid scheme in the human world before, ah no, the way of preaching, and for a while he almost couldn't hold back, and fell into some kind of intense self-struggle.

Strength, or shame? That's a problem.

"Ogle," Rann asked bitterly, "if there was a choice now before you, and if you could gain strength by overcoming shame, what would you choose?" ”

Ogle looked at him when he heard this: "If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate. When it comes time to really use power, you feel small...... It's small. ”

Rann took a shallow breath and made up his mind.

It's just that at this time, Rann doesn't know what he's about to go through, and there will be countless times in the future that he wants to slap himself to death who is nodding his head now.

……

On this day, God was playing a normal game on earth, and then from a distance, he saw Carmen coming by with a suspicious face.

"What's wrong? Priests? God asked quietly in the world, but in fact he silently thought in his heart, is it because of whom the previous words have been debunked?

"Lord Rann has sent down an oracle." Carmen's eyes were still full of disbelief, and she looked at God in the world with complicated eyes, and finally patted God on the shoulder in the world, "You...... Well done, keep it up. ”

The system prompt rings in God's mind on earth.

[The Secret Church NPC Priest has affirmed your work.] 】

[You have been recognized by the NPCs of the faction, and the reputation of the faction has risen to neutral]

[You have earned 5,000 Faction Honor Points]

[You have obtained the Faction Title - Vanguard of Faith, Effect: Missionary success rate increased by 5% while worn, persuasion, speech skills +5, occult +2]

God took a soft breath in the world, although he did these things purely for fun, but he was caught off guard by receiving so many rewards, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.

"Thank you for your affirmation, I will continue to work hard." God said in the earth.

Carmen patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Come on, if there is anything you need help with, please feel free to mention it." ”

Carmen was genuinely happy that God was on earth, and he felt that as long as he could contribute to Lord Rann, he would be happy for whoever he was.

Silently watching Carmen go away, God continued to preach to the confused lambs below with a smile on earth, only this time he received not only fun, but also the rewards of the camp.

[Faction Quest - Mission.]

Content: Gain 100 faction honor points for each successful conversion of a shallow believer, and 500 honor points for each true believer. 】

God calculated in the world, the previous volunteer mission, the income of a task is about 50 to 100 points, the player does a task, such as carrying supplies or treating the wounded, it takes at least 3 hours of service to complete a mission, and now he can get one or two hundred points by giving a speech, and if you are lucky enough to give birth to a true believer, you can also get five hundred at a time.

Is this the sense of acquisition of the game?

God did not hesitate to choose to share this pleasure with others (pretending to be b), and upload a screenshot of the system reminder.

"Faction Honor Points? Isn't this thing easy to earn? 》

God on Earth: Screenshot jpg.

1L: Grass.

2l: I originally wanted to come in and taunt the landlord for knowing the gold content of the three-hour volunteer activity, but when I looked at the screenshot, I was disturbed, and the big guy took me!

3l: Missionary missions? Why can you be given a missionary assignment? I thought it was just a player's life.

4l: Is there really a missionary good guy, and a true believer 500 points?? I'm going to go and preach to NPCs.

5l: I protest why I can't preach to the player, and when he becomes a true believer, I will laugh at 500 points.

6l: How do you preach this, do you want to talk directly about dice?

7l: No, although this game has a high degree of freedom, it will not let the player pass the dice with one dice, at least make corresponding actions or say some corresponding words, but I have tried before, and with my eloquence I am not worthy of preaching qwq

8l: I'll just say why the landlord is so familiar, isn't this the big guy in the world, the big guy is worthy of being the big guy, and he has already opened up his own way to a new task.

God on Earth: Everyone's won the prize, I'm just doing it for fun.

9L: Front Row Capture! Would the big guy mind talking about how to preach?

God on Earth: I don't mind, there is no limit to the number of people on this mission, and there are so many people in Arkham City.

God in the world: However, my method is not universal, and there is only one thing I have to say, that is, it is more important to find a good target group, and then if you want others to be religious, you must first believe it from the bottom of your heart, so as to infect others.

10l: It's so profound, it feels so difficult, it's not suitable for me to be so stupid, I'd better go and volunteer.

11l: Woo, that's another socially unfriendly mission.

12l: By the way, have any of you noticed that since the secret church has issued a missionary mission, and the rewards are set so high, that is

It's not that the camp is encouraging this.,It feels like it's corroborated with the previous speculation of the black cat boss.。

13L: Help @ Black Cat

Black Cat: I'm not sure yet.

14L: Big guy, you're in hhhh

Black Cat: Occasionally I look at the forum when I'm tired of doing volunteer tasks, but I feel that everyone can try to do this missionary mission, the reward is so high, and if my guess is true, it may also involve the big tasks later, everyone can take it and try it.

15L: Big guy, we want to take it too, but this threshold is obviously not something that ordinary people can do

16l: yes, I don't know anything about religion at all.

God in the world: Well, there is no need to be so hardcore, missionary is simply similar to Amway, as long as it can make people interested in it, as long as it can attract the attention of passers-by, no matter what method is used, it is a victory, as long as one of them is interested, it is earned.

Night: When you say that, I suddenly have a bold idea.

Buba: I also have an idea, and we may have the same thing in mind. (Squeeze your eyes.)

Shu Xiaohao: Dear players, maybe you have heard of Amway, marketing, and fandom?

17l：？？？

18l：？？

At the moment, a mysterious organization is still in the making, and before it returns by storm with a way that shocks the local pristine NPCs, another small group of players are still trying to find the right way to open up the wasteland.

That's right, it's the people of the stargazing team.

It's been three days, do you know how they spent these three days?

For three whole days, the Mandate of Heaven did not receive any tasks from the Inspection Bureau, nor did they get any benefits, they waited like fools for three days, during which they watched the players of the Hidden Church brush the task and brush the skill points to fly, and now the stargazing team has consciously blocked the key words about the 'Hidden Church' in the forum, and there is nothing else, just the eyes staring at the screen are sour.

If it weren't for the guild's promise that they would be compensated, the fat man would have been the first to quit.

But now, I am about to lose my patience for patience.

"Boss, we've been waiting for three days, and we've been three days behind with the rest of the players." The fat man stared at me with a mournful gaze.

Destiny sighed in me: "Okay, okay, don't worry, we'll try one last time today." ”

Early this morning, the stargazing team went to the inspector's apartment to block Job, and before Job could continue to perfunctory them, Destiny said to me, "Mr. Gage, can I talk to you alone?" I have something important to tell you. ”

Job Gage's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this.

Finally, I still can't hold it back.

Job nodded, "Okay, let's go up and talk about it." ”

Job and Destiny were alone in a room on the second floor, and Destiny said to me, "I have important information to report, and it is about evil gods. ”

Job raised an eyebrow, "Say it." ”

"I don't know if you've heard of the Secret Church, which is a cult in Arkham, and the gods they worship are shepherds, and they have been active in Arkham City lately."

Job just listened with a smile on his face, but he didn't seem to be too moved and cared, and when I finished talking about the destiny, Job just said: "Okay, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, I'll upload your information to the General Bureau, and then they will review the information and send a special team over." ”

I couldn't believe it: "But aren't you right here?" Aren't you interested in cults? ”

Job rubbed his forehead: "It's not that I don't care, it's just that we still have our own tasks to complete." ”

To put it simply, they themselves are busy enough that they really don't have the extra energy to care about anything else.

Moreover, if we have to put it bluntly, this is a country of freedom of belief, and there is no such thing as a cult at all, unless there is clear evidence that those believers have violated the law and committed crimes.

Destiny is in me: "It doesn't matter if this organization is connected to strangers?" ”

Job's eyes changed, and he looked up at me, pretending to be calm.

"Hmm...... Then I have to listen to it. ”

Destiny came when Job and I went into an office, and then half-pushed, and told us about Ranne, about the strangers, and about the stranger's plot against Ranne, the faith of the secret church itself.

"You mean, the evil god once walked in Arkham City as a human?" Job asked, surprised.

"Yes, he must have been sealed," Destiny said to me, "and his presence was inseparable from the stranger, whose leader had been tempted to capture him. ”

Job suddenly said meaningfully, "You know a lot. ”

I also anticipated Job's reaction, and he bent down and said, "I won't hide it from you, I used to be a member of that organization, so I can know so much, but now I know that it is not advisable to believe in cults, and a few of my friends and I have lost our way and escaped, and now we are still being chased and killed by that group of people, so I defected to the inspection bureau." ”

Destiny had talked to an advisor in the guild who had senior experience in running a group before, and as soon as the other party heard about his previous operations, I guessed that they were probably suspected by the inspection bureau.

[If this game is the same as the real running group, you have to treat the NPCs inside as real people, and what kind of reaction the real person will have, what the NPC inside will react to.] 】

Therefore, Destiny has deliberately found a set of arguments in me to prove the source of this information and the previous suspicions.

Job stared at Destiny on my face, as if thinking about something.

[System, Application Psychology. 】

[You can't see any expression on his face, I don't know how much he believes your words.] 】

Job said, "I see, I'll talk to my buddies about it." ”

Destiny nodded at me and said in a deep voice, "Then I advise you not to go to Edmund, I have seen him in the church. ”

Job paused, narrowed his eyes, and left the room without saying anything.

Destiny sighed at me, leaning back on the back of my seat.

In the end, I did what I could do, but if it still didn't work, I just gave up.

Job slowly left the room, returned to the office, and made a random excuse to transfer Edmund out, and only when only the old members of the team were left present did he slowly tell them what Destiny had just said to me.

"How much credibility do you think you have?" Job asked.

Dina pushed her glasses, "Zero, what the cultists say has no value, this is the code that every formal investigator emphasizes in the first session of the trainer. ”

"But I think we can look into it, and it just so happens that our recent investigation has also hit a bottleneck, maybe this is a good entry point?" ”

At present, this elite team from the Inspection Bureau has two tasks, one is to investigate the true face of the 'Gatekeeper', and the other is to eliminate the traitor Albert of the Inspection Bureau.

Both of these missions are actually closely related to the Outlander organization, so the focus of Job's investigation has been on the Outlanders in recent days, but unfortunately it has not gone well, and the leader of the Outlanders has failed, and the Outlanders organization has become a completely scattered sand, falling on the land called Arkham, making it difficult to pull out the grit from the mud.

The elites who had previously exposed their connections with strangers had already left the city in a transport, and the rest were some low-level cultists who didn't know the core secrets, and although Eunice and Edie had teamed up to obtain a lot of information from them, none of them were of any value.

All they knew was that there was once a cult here that tried to open the door to the dream world, and was stopped by the mysterious gatekeeper, and that's it.

At the core, no one knows the identity of the gatekeeper and Albert's whereabouts.

Eunice: "And they say that the new guy is also a cultist. ”

Dinah: "It's also possible that he was framed, but it's more likely." ”

Edie disagreed: "According to my investigation, this group of people is new to Arkham City, which means that they should not have met Edmund before, so why slander a stranger?" They don't have that motivation. ”

"And, on the other hand, they say they were members of the Secret Church before."

"What's wrong with this?"

Edie showed the computer to the others: "According to my investigation, the Hidden Church is a new religious organization among the victims of this disaster that has been circulating in the recent past, as well as refugees, originated in Arkham City, and the current church is very small and can hardly be put on the table, so, when did they join?" ”

This logical loophole is so obvious that it silences the others.

"Isn't there any information about the Secret Church from the outside world?"

"No, at least I didn't dig it, and if it weren't for the fact that a hacker of the same level as me had hidden their information, I think it's very unlikely." There's a careless arrogance in Edie's words.

He does have enough capital to match this arrogance, and there are not enough hackers in this world who are qualified to compete with him.

Coupled with his unique ability to originate, basically no one in the field of electronics can compete with him.

"If it's true, it means that they lied, at least they are definitely not members of the Secret Church." Job pondered, "Why would they lie like this?" ”

"Could it be that they are actually from a third party?" Eunice guessed casually.

Hearing this, Dina fell into thought: "If it is a third-party force, why do they tell us this information, it is a trap?" ”

"Or," Job whispered, "they want us to go to Ray first." ”

"But in any case, if nothing is done, the investigation will never progress." Job made up his mind, "Let's try this direction of investigation." ”

"And what about Edmund?"

"Don't rush, observe for a while." Job said, "I'll keep in touch with those people, and maybe I'll be able to get some interesting information, and that thing has finally been applied." ”

He patted his backpack, "But I don't really want to use this unless I have to." ”

Eunice nodded, and although Dinah and Edie didn't say anything, their eyes flashed with repulsion and disgust.

Although it is possible to ask for information with this thing, no investigator will like to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

It sometimes makes them feel that they are no different from the wicked people.

Fortunately, these people from the stargazing team were very cooperative and happily told the information they knew.

They revealed a total of three pieces of information, and the current power distribution of the Hidden Church is mainly Black Poker and the Kamuyi Clan, as well as the conflict between the Stranger and the Hidden Church before, and the young man named Rann is actually the incarnation of the evil god.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fear of suspicion from this group of people, the stargazing team would be eager to break up the big events in the forum with this group of people one by one, but in this way, it seems that they know too much and are too suspicious, so they choose to reveal it little by little.

Finally, Destiny gritted my teeth and added a speculation that had been circulating in the forum: "We suspect that the existence of the suspected incarnation of the evil god is the gatekeeper who finally stopped the Outlander's plan." ”

"Gatekeeper...... ? Job muttered, "Then there is a need to investigate." ”

At this time, the stargazing team finally heard the system prompt they had always dreamed of.

[Trigger the chain quest - the truth of the Hidden Church.] 】

[Contents: The Inspectorate became suspicious of the existence of the Secret Church and began to investigate this mysterious existence, please assist the Inspectorate in uncovering its mystery]

[Ring 1 Mission: Black Poker.] 】

[Mission Level: Critical, please take it with caution.] 】

Finally triggered the chain quest!

The eyes of the members of the stargazing team lit up for a moment.

Since the last version update, in addition to the task category, there is also a task level classification, and now there are five levels: 'Normal', 'Dangerous', 'Extremely Dangerous', 'Hell', and 'Nightmare', and now the first link of this chain of quests is 'Dangerous' level, which means that it will be higher later?

As we all know, the more dangerous the mission, the richer the rewards, and those players who have joined the Hidden Church have already received super rich rewards when they are still working on the daily routine of the camp!

What is it? This shows that they made the right choice!

"Can we go together?" Destiny asked me.

Job looked up at them and smiled, "Of course, after all, it was you who brought the information. ”

If it's a thunderstorm, then you have to go first.

"Edie."

"I know, I've been checking," Edie typed quickly on the keyboard, "The Kamui don't use much electronic equipment on a daily basis, and they don't even have cameras or anything like that in their neighborhood, so they can't find much information, so I suggest we start with black poker." ”

"Ah, I found it."

"According to the information provided by this group," Edie glanced at the stargazing team with excitement on his face, "Arkham did have a period of turmoil some time ago, the cause was that some of the leaders and members of the underground gang died collectively after going to a banquet organized by Black Poker, and the previous leader of Black Poker also died there, for unknown reasons. ”

The glasses woman thoughtfully: "Clean...... Or is it black eating black? ”

"It is very likely that there was an invasion of anomalous forces, and Edmund's inspection team at that time also participated in the investigation of this incident, and it was determined that there were traces of suspected D-class strange ghouls left at the scene, but they were not good enough to find anything useful." Edie shrugged.

Job: "So this is the first confrontation between the stranger and the secret church?" ”

Edi said: "The surveillance on the night of the banquet has been completely destroyed, and the purely electronic means can no longer be restored. ”

With that, he pressed the enter key hard, and a screenshot of a man appeared on the computer screen.

This should be the image taken from the surveillance, it doesn't look very clear, only the slightly gloomy side face of a black-haired man can be seen, getting off a black car, and the younger brothers in black suits on either side of him stand on either side, blocking possible shooting.

That's the current boss of Black Poker, Culens.

"I suggest we ask the person directly." ：，，.
