Chapter 358 Human Heart and Evil Gods
Where the monster rushed out, the streetlights had already been broken, and there were no other light sources around. Instead, it looked even darker under the light of the distant light.

Howe led Jon across the road and into the deeper alleyway between the buildings.

This alleyway cuts off all the light, like falling into the depths of hell.

Just a few dozen steps into the alleyway, there was a faint smell of blood mixed with rancidity.

Jon followed He Ao, and the strong smell made him feel a little uncomfortable, but after experiencing the rancid smell after the monster died just now, he felt that this was not unacceptable.

The ground under his feet seemed to be sticky, and the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger.

"Hiss—"

A shadow on all fours suddenly rushed out of the night.

"what!"

Jon trembled, he looked at He Ao in front of him, and tried his best to restrain his urge to run away.

He Ao didn't pay attention to Jon's movements behind him. With a flash of his sword, the rushing black figure was split into two, and blood spattered on his side face.

A red radiance overflowed from the body of the monster in the shadows, and sank into He Ao's twin swords.

The black matter in this monster's body is not stored in some kind of object, but directly integrated into their blood, making their bodies a carrier.

Those who spread pollution behind the scenes prefer to mix these black substances related to gods into certain items, and then look for people with high inspiration to entrust such items, rather than directly and rudely mixing them into people's blood.

These monsters in the shadows should not be the masterpieces of the people behind the scenes, they may be the 'claws' created by the monster that He Ao just killed.

He Ao continued to move forward, and met several 'minions', who were chopped off by him with a sword.

After these minions died, their bodies quickly decayed and lost their vitality.

He Ao has been thinking about where the power of these monsters polluted by the dead 'God' comes from.

The extraordinary system of this world obeys a certain law of conservation.

Martial arts need to absorb extraordinary power from nature, and then transform it into one's own extraordinary power.

As for the talent sequence, it is necessary to 'take' power from other extraordinary beings.

There are two ways to obtain the main materials needed to prepare the secret medicine. The first method is to obtain the supernatural materials in their bodies by hunting exotic animals. The second method is to kill people with the corresponding talent sequence and wait for his talent sequence to naturally become available. Precipitate.

In the final analysis, it is to kill other beings and take their extraordinary power as their own.

This way of obtaining extraordinary power means that there is a high probability that there is a fixed number of talent sequences in the dungeon world, and now all the talent sequences have been allocated.

Only when one person dies, the other person has a chance to go up to gain his power.

Therefore, the acquisition of extraordinary power in this world has a certain conservation nature, either like martial arts, transforming the power of nature into one's own power, or like the talent sequence, taking the power of others.

However, the practice of martial arts requires a lot of time, and these monsters obviously can't get so many talent sequences.

Combined with the special status of these monsters, He Ao felt that their power might come from another special method, 'gift'.

A gift from the gods.

By sacrificing souls and lives, 'gifts' are obtained.

In fact, most cultists do the same thing, but they need to communicate with the gods through rituals to obtain 'gifts'.

Ike, the 'doctor' of the Church of the Goddess of Life, once talked to Wei An.

In the sense of mysticism, rituals are actually 'bridges', connecting unknown existences or crossing special conditions.

And these monsters have something related to the dead god in their bodies, and they are born with a 'bridge' to communicate with that god.

They may even themselves be extensions of the god's torso.

Everything about them, soul and even flesh and blood, belonged to the gods, so when they died, their bodies would quickly decay because the gods took away their flesh and blood.

During the battle, He Ao briefly turned on his super memory and took a glance. The shadows of the souls of these minions had almost dissipated. Their souls had already been taken away by the gods, leaving only some crazy consciousness to support their actions.

And the lives they hunted have also become 'sacrifices' dedicated to the gods, they are moving altars.

As a 'gift', the gods gave them some power so that they could make sacrifices better.

In fact, in a sense, these monsters and minions constitute a cult, a sect that believes in dead gods.

The god seems to be dead, but it doesn't seem to be completely dead.

His remaining consciousness is still trying to drive, create minions, plunder power, trying to return from eternal sleep.

This seems to be one of the reasons for what the system calls 'the frequent death cases in Rock City'.

But this is not necessarily the whole truth.

Because Nell's brothers and sisters obviously didn't die because of these monsters.

The person who manipulates everything behind the scenes may not be a devout believer who wants to resurrect the gods.

He Ao had a hunch that the source of all this darkness might not be dominated by evil gods.
Human hearts are sometimes more terrifying than evil gods.

"Brother, shall we still go inside?"

Jon tremblingly followed behind He Ao.

At the beginning, he was too scared to walk, but he didn't expect He Ao to kill a little monster with a single sword, and he suddenly felt like he could do it again, although he was still a little scared.

"It should be over."

He Ao cut off the last minion with a sword, and the faint red light entered the sword body. At this moment, the two swords are no longer as ordinary as before. The faint red light wrapped around the sword body with fierce aura, showing a sharp look pressing.

At this time, they had already reached the end of the alley, and there seemed to be a few shadows curled up in the corner.

He Ao turned on the flashlight on his bracelet, and it shone in front of him. In the corner not far in front of him, there were several unconscious figures curled up.

He walked over and looked it over carefully.

There are men and women among these people, about a dozen of them, their bodies are curled up, their brows are furrowed, as if immersed in some kind of nightmare.

Beside them, there is a pile of old items of all kinds.

Most of the items have been cut open, revealing the dark heart inside, but there is no red light, only a few items are left, and they are piled up in the corner.

"What are they arresting these people for?"

Seeing that there were indeed no monsters attacking, Jon took courage and approached the sleeping figures, "Hey, wake up."

And He Ao stared at the opened items on the ground. One item had just been opened a little bit by a sharp instrument, and it hadn't been fully opened. It seemed that the person who opened this item left in a panic because of something.

But He Ao didn't meet any minions with sharp weapons in the battle just now.

At this moment, a black figure rushed out of the darkness, holding a cold blade, and charged straight at Jon who was squatting beside those sleeping people.
