Soul echo

Chapter 484 Leisure
The news of the Mind Eater's existence finally spread. Although there was no corresponding news in Hameln, Zhong Ye heard from the priests of the church that the news had already spread in other towns.

While there has been little panic for the time being, chaos will eventually follow, and it's just the calm before the storm.

And the nearest town to Hameln, where the news of the existence of Mind Eater spread, is Honeywell.

The incident in Hameln was over, and Zhong Ye's injury was almost healed. After discussing it, the three of them decided to go to Honowell.

It is still unknown who spread the news, and the church is conducting self-examination, but Zhong Ye thinks that it should not have been spread by the clergy.

Most people who will become priests have pious beliefs. The gods they believe in have stopped them from spreading this news to the outside world. Then, they should not do that. Even if they did, the gods will not allow them to follow the previous That scrap plan worked.

In this way, it would be pointless for them to spread the news.

If it wasn't the news spread by the clergy, who would spread the news?

Abyss believers, mind eaters, or other cultists, these are all possible.

However, no matter how much speculation there is, it is useless without evidence or witnessing who spread the news. It cannot change the facts that have happened.

After packing their luggage for a while, Zhong Ye and the others left Hameln and embarked on the road to Honowell.

Hameln is not far from that city, and even walking does not take a day.

Because the distance is not far, and they belong to the same lord's territory, there are a lot of travelers coming and going, and the business activities are quite frequent. The passing travelers have already leveled the road between the two towns.

Zhong Ye and the others set off in the morning and arrived in Honowell in the afternoon.

On the surface, the city looks the same as usual, peaceful and peaceful.

It wasn't long before the news started to spread, and most of the bottom-level residents probably didn't know these things yet.

Therefore, the voice that came to Zhong Ye's ears was not much different from the short stories he heard in other cities.

Zhong Ye asked the location of the Adventurer's House from a passerby, and drove there.

As usual, he put the carriage into the warehouse of the Adventurer's House, and then entered the lobby of the Adventurer's House.

Before stepping into the hall, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

There were still people drinking and fighting in the hall, but there were more people sitting in the dark and whispering.

Zhong Ye swept his eyes and found that those people seemed to be somewhat wary of the surrounding crowd.

These adventurers are probably well-informed. They already know that there is such a thing as a "Mind Eater" in this world, and they know that the Mind Eater can replace others silently.

However, although Mind Eaters can silently devour a person and replace that person's existence, when they turned that body into a skin, the body itself fell into a state of neither life nor death. The heartbeat and blood flow rate will change, and most of the blood will be replaced by black mist.

Through these differences, humans can completely tell which one was replaced by the Mind Eater.

On those vigilant adventurers, Zhong Ye smelled a trace of blood, that is to say, they had already confirmed each other's identities, so they dared to trust their companions.

Thoughts were churning in his mind, Zhong Ye remained calm and sat beside Lilian and the others, "How is the situation?"

Lily also replied in a low voice: "According to my observations, the number of adventurers who knew about that incident is not many, which means that the place where the news was first spread may not be the adventurer's home.

"When we were in Hameln before, those clergymen also said that the clergymen of Honowell realized this after Honowell's nobles and wealthy businessmen asked them for help, and then Spread the news to the internal communication network of the church.

"This shows that the news spread among nobles, wealthy businessmen and adventurers almost at the same time."

But among these three types of people, nobles and wealthy businessmen are nothing more than that. It is not surprising that there are intersections in normal times. So, what about adventurers?

Adventurers have very little connection with the first two, and it is obviously impossible for nobles and wealthy businessmen to tell this to the adventurers they look down upon.

Even though Zhong Ye and the others had long believed that someone was playing tricks in the dark, it was only now that they confirmed it from the side.

"Someone is playing tricks in the dark..."

Lilian seemed to be thinking hard, but she was actually paying attention to the barrage.

As players, they are the least likely to be replaced by Mind Eater. What's more, Mind Eater does not enter the dungeon, and there will be no mechanism for enemies to mix into the team.

There is a Mind Eater trying to control the player, but the player can see the debuff on his body in the character state, and being controlled by the Mind Eater is also a debuff, so the player can see this state.

As long as you can find this state, it will be much easier to get rid of it. You can find any church. The priests in the church will help the player expel the Mind Eater hidden in the body for free.

Some viewers in the live broadcast room have confirmed that there is news about Mind Eater in their city, and their locations can almost be described as far and wide.

However, most of them are the Kingdom of Gaul and the Kingdom of the Rhine, and the only few cases are also located around the Kingdom of the Rhine.

Seeing this, Lilian can be sure that the organization that really spread the news is actually the Mind Eater itself!

According to speculation, the Mind Eater has a high probability of using the Rhine Kingdom as its base, and only a small amount is distributed in the surrounding areas of the Rhine Kingdom.

But is there any benefit to them in making news of their existence public?

Nobles and wealthy merchants will definitely check their servants and soldiers forcibly, and adventurers will only rest assured of their companions who have passed the check. Once the news is announced, many people will try to check the people around them.

If there are still Mind Devourers lurking among humans at this time, they will undoubtedly be checked out.

Unless...there is no more Mind Eater now!
Lilian did not explain her conjecture because she could not explain her source.

Even if she didn't say it, the church would tell Zhong Ye the news sooner or later, and Zhong Ye would be able to figure it out by himself, and she didn't need to tell him.

After reading this, Lilian raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Zhong Ye, "Teacher, what shall we do next?"

The clues have been cut off, and they must not be able to find the dominant consciousness of the Mind Eater. If this is the case, shouldn't they do something else next, track other events?

Zhong Ye was also thinking about this question. After hearing Lilian's question, he lightly tapped the table with his index finger a few times, and said, "The incident of the Heart Eater has come to an end for now, and the clues have been broken. Next, we can investigate 'Information leak' incident, while dealing with other things."

For example, Goblin Kingdom, such as vampires, such as the paintings left by Nemo...they have many things to do, and they don't have to keep entangled in the mind eater with broken clues.

They are not the only ones who can save the world. Priests, adventurers, players, even nobles and commoners, these people all have the power to save the world.

"If that's the case, I have a proposal."

Lily opened her mouth suddenly, which attracted Zhong Ye and Lilian's attention. She smiled slightly and said, "From tomorrow on, we will use the Adventurer's House as our base, start with the tasks on the task bar, and dig out the deeper hidden things behind the tasks. .

"Although many things are as simple as they seem on the surface, there are still some things behind them that may be related to the abyss or the cultists. Anyway, idleness is idleness. Through those things, perhaps we can dig out many unknowns. Things that save the world a lot of trouble.”

Zhong Ye and Lilian looked at each other, it was a good idea.

"Then it's decided." Lily pointed to the task bar, "Starting tomorrow, let's clean up the tasks on it."
