After get off work, I started speedrunning through the other world

Underground kingdom.

Silent square.

Hundreds of ghosts who had lost their physical restraints were floating in the square, and thousands of living corpses were crawling on the ground.

They surrounded the light projected from the center of the square, as if they were longing for something.

Flesh and blood... no, they no longer have the concept of hunger. Cursed by the gods, they can only live without death and suffer eternal punishment.

However, if they can come into contact with the warmth of life, they can also obtain a moment of salvation.

Of course, the way they obtain the warmth of life must be unacceptable to ordinary people.

The mercenary who jumped down from the crater was captured by the swarming ghosts and living corpses, who devoured the mercenary's flesh and blood one after another, using the most straightforward method to obtain the warmth from his body.

And right now.

Ximu and Jed jumped down, and before the living corpses and ghosts could react, they immediately ran out of the square, and killed several living corpses blocking the way.

It is not difficult to deal with the living corpses and ghosts in the square, but his main goal now is to obtain the Magic Queen's meteorite.

There is really no need to waste time on these mobs. Once he gets the Magic Queen Meteor, it will be easier to attract the mobs later.

"..."

"..."

The living corpses and ghosts in the square have not yet reacted. They looked at the two people who had run away and wondered why these two people were so skilled.

Not even a trace of hesitation.

But before they could think about it, another group of living people fell from the sky above the square, attracting the attention of living corpses and ghosts.

Then a bloody fight began.

"It seems that these guys can't die." The big sword was swung down, and the living corpse in front of him was chopped in half. The werewolf leader frowned and looked at the picture of the living corpse on the ground moving its body and putting the chopped body back together.

He looked around and found that this was not an isolated case. The living corpses that were killed could not truly die. Even if their arms and heads were severed, they could still heal.

The ghost is even more troublesome. As long as it touches a person's body, it will make the person incapacitated and attack the companions around him.

"No wonder no news came back." The werewolf leader immediately understood the reason. I am afraid that the advance team who came down to explore before were all controlled by ghosts and then eaten by the living corpses that swarmed up.

In this way, no message is sent back.

Thinking of this.

"Retreat and let the guys behind take care of it." Waving his hand, the werewolf leader and his younger brothers quickly evacuated.

This group of monsters is difficult to kill, and continuing to fight will only increase unnecessary losses. Therefore, it is better to move strategically first.

…

…

at the same time.

On the street.

"The temperature of life!" A living corpse suddenly opened its arms and flew towards Ximu.

Then his head was chopped off with a sword.

Ximu looked at the living corpse moving on the ground indifferently, raised his hand to touch the hunting king's sword, and waved the sword wrapped in black flames, forcing the living corpse in the state of immortality to enter the state of death.

In the past, this underground city believed in the Witch of Creation and had an unusual persistence in life.

But later, because the Creation Witch was punished by the gods, these believers who believed in the Creation Witch also received the most cruel punishment.

All believers who believed in the Creation Witch were executed, but... they were not allowed to go to hell. They could only be on the edge of life and death and be tortured forever.

It's a very boring setting. The gods torture people without imagination. The best way to think of it is to let the believers who believe in the creation witch... lose their lives and wander between life and death forever.

Any player with a bad character would be able to think of even more inappropriate punishments.

However, considering that the official reason for doing this is to open up a new map, introduce the character of the Witch of Creation, and let players feel the cruelty of the gods.

That can be considered acceptable.

"I didn't expect there to be such a big city underground." Jade looked around the dilapidated city. She could imagine how glorious this city would be in the past, with row upon row of houses, cut stone roads, and bustling crowds of people. .

But now they are just a group of living corpses wandering aimlessly on the streets, and ghosts occasionally floating out of dilapidated houses.

Cold.

Weird.

despair.

The atmosphere of this dungeon is such that just being in it makes me feel a little breathless.

"It's better to say it's a prison than a city." Ximu explained casually, stepping on the wet and cold stone road, walking step by step towards the most magnificent castle in the distance.

"Boss, do you know this strange city?" Jade heard the implication and quickened her pace to catch up with Ximu. Although she was very courageous and could put her life on the gambling table, she was so desperate for this city. and curse, but still feel uncomfortable.

There is no hope in this kind of city, only curse and despair.

"Do you remember the statue in the square?" Ximu asked, and Jade thought about it after hearing the words, and found that there was indeed a female statue in the square.

"That's the Creation Witch."

"Oh~ she is a witch who trains gods to become... well, imprisons gods." Geed suddenly came to his senses.

Since it is a city that believes in the Creation Witch, it is understandable that everyone in this city would end up like this.

To the gods, the Creation Witch is a... stain. She was the first being to train a god into a pet.

This is undoubtedly an insult, the greatest insult.

So after the death of the Creation Witch, it is reasonable for these followers of the Creation Witch to be severely punished.

"Yes, it's her." Ximu answered, and then stopped. He was standing in front of the castle gate.

Several knights in armor leaned against the edge of the gate, and seemed indifferent to his arrival.

"It feels like a guy who is not easy to mess with." Zed also noticed the presence of those knights and drew the dagger from his waist.

"Don't be nervous." Waving his hand, Ximu grabbed Zed's wrist, and then pulled her in quickly under her puzzled eyes.

Before the knights guarding the gate reacted, Ximu and Zed had already entered the castle.

If you walk slowly, or stand in the distance to test these knights guarding the gate, you will find that these knights will slowly stand up and start to attack the player.

But if you run in quickly, before these knights guarding the gate do not react, keep running quickly.

You can avoid entering the state of battle.

When they reach the boss room, the soldiers who are chasing them will stop chasing them and return to their posts.

"Boss, can we really find the meteorite if we run around like this?" Jed followed Ximu's footsteps and turned around in the castle.

In response, Ximu gave a justified explanation.

"I have already divined where the meteorite is."

"Boss, you and Lady Hecate have only been learning magic for a few days!" Jed couldn't help but complain, and he knew Ximu's learning status very well.

In the Magic King City, you are either slashing people or on the way to slash people. Basically, there is no time to learn magic.

For normal people to learn magic, they not only need to remember a lot of knowledge, but also practice it slowly, and this is even more true for divination, which is impossible to learn in a short time.

Otherwise, the profession of fortune teller would not be so precious.

"You can learn it by just taking a rough look at it." Ximu explained casually, then suddenly braked and ran in another direction.

Jed: "..."

She suddenly remembered the boss's setting. It seemed that he was an extremely powerful genius who could learn with just one look. It seemed understandable that the boss now mastered advanced astrology.

There are also clear records in history that some geniuses can copy the other party's magic with just one look and use it more brilliantly.

So her boss should be this kind of person.

"We're here."

Ximu stopped and came to the boss's door. He ignored the knights chasing from a distance and kicked the door open.

Then, a tired sigh came out. The knights chasing from a distance heard the sound and stopped immediately, and then began to retreat.

"Outsider, you have a disgusting smell on you." The tired female voice revealed hatred, "That is the breath of God."

"..."

Ximu did not answer, and looked at Jed, then walked into the room alone, while Jed was stationed outside the door.

When he entered the room, the first thing he saw was the dangerous girl in red. She sat on a chair made of gems and gold, with one hand gently supporting her chin.

"Let me guess, which goddess do you believe in?" The girl looked at the knight who walked in front of her and casually stretched out her white fingers.

"It's the goddess of life, right?"

"..." Ximu didn't answer. He came to the side of the room, looked at the locked treasure chest, and smashed it hard with his sword.

The lock fell off, and then the treasure chest was opened.

As expected, inside was the meteorite of the magic queen, which was an important material that could strengthen his weapon to plus ten.

"Hey... human, I'm talking to you!" The girl looked at the arrogant look of the silver knight and was very angry.

Ximu finally responded after hearing this. He took out the meteorite in the treasure chest and came to the ghost queen.

"You want me to pray to the goddess of life to lift the curse of immortality." He handed over the meteorite in his hand, "The reward is the meteorite in my hand?"

Ghost Queen: "..."

What's wrong with this human, why did she know what she wanted to do without saying anything?

"Okay." Ximu nodded and agreed to it, and the Ghost Queen suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Under normal circumstances, she should fight with the intruder, and after she wins, she will show the queen's demeanor and let the intruder go.

Then she will start to make a deal, first telling the miserable situation of the people in the city, reasoning with them, and then she will use the wealth in the city as bait to deceive... ahem, ask the people who are favored by the gods to pray to the goddess and forgive their sins.

"Wait, why do you know what I think?" The Ghost Queen looked at Ximu who was about to leave, and said doubtfully:

"And will you really ask the goddess to lift the curse as promised?"

Ximu replied: "I will pray to the Goddess of Life about your situation. As for whether the Goddess of Life is willing to lift your curse, it depends on the Goddess of Life."

In fact, it is possible to ask the Goddess of Life to lift the curse of this city, but the prerequisite is that the Goddess of Life has a high enough favorability towards the player, and then build a church of the Goddess of Life in the city.

When the number of residents in the city who admit their mistakes reaches a certain level, the curse can be lifted, giving everyone a chance to reincarnate.

However, if the curse fails to be lifted, the Ghost Queen will be completely desperate and attack the player.

After the Ghost Queen is defeated, she will go to the square in despair and apologize to the speed of light falling in the crater.

At that time, even if the player attacks the Ghost Queen, there will be no resistance. The Ghost Queen will only cry sadly and regard the player's attack as her own... atonement.

After all, it was the Ghost Queen who led the entire city to convert to the Witch of Creation, causing her country to fall into destruction.

So the Ghost Queen is always in a state of guilt and pain.

"I have no way of believing that you will pray truthfully to the Goddess of Life." The Ghost Queen shook her head indifferently.

"Unless you..."

"There is no church for the Goddess of Life in this city." Ximu said casually, "Unless you are willing to smash the statue of the Witch of Creation and replace it with the statue of the Goddess of Life."

The atmosphere became stagnant.

The Ghost Queen looked at the Silver Knight's cold eyes. She wanted to scold this human being for being disrespectful, but thinking of the miserable condition of her people, she couldn't say no.

She bit her lower lip, showing a struggling look.

"..." Ximu didn't urge her. Looking at the sad and resigned expression of the Ghost Queen, she seduced with a devilish whisper:

"The Witch of Creation has been dead for many years anyway, so I can't blame you."

This is a lie. Although people believe that the Witch of Creation is dead, the truth is that the Witch of Creation was sealed to hell.

When he opens the door to hell in the future, the Creation Witch will return.

"..." The Ghost Queen opened her mouth, looking very... embarrassed, and then she asked as if to escape.

"Why do you know so much about everything I want to do?"

"Changing the subject is not a clever method." Ximu smiled and took a step forward, raised his hand and pinched the Ghost Queen's chin, forcing her to look at him.

"You have no choice but to choose one or the other."

"Aren't you also changing the subject?" The Ghost Queen bit her lower lip and stared back as if refusing to admit defeat, and then Ximu withdrew her hand upon seeing this.

"Your Majesty, you don't want your people to suffer the curse of immortality forever, right?" His smile was gentle, but his voice was cold.

"Of course, I can understand if you keep insisting on your faith and wait for the creation witch who can never come back."

"Don't force me to make a choice so quickly." The Ghost Queen said as if pleading, her pitiful appearance was hard not to make people feel soft.

However, Xi Mu did not waver at all, and said coldly: "I have more important things, and I don't have time to wait for you to make a decision."

If he is willing to slowly wait for the Ghost Queen to make a choice, and supplement it with some gentle attacks, he can maximize the Ghost Queen's favorability and make the Ghost Queen a summoned object to accompany the player in the battle.

However, he already has ten types of shadow magic and does not need the Ghost Queen's assistance unless the Ghost Queen can provide other uses.

It's a pity that it is impossible for the Virgin Game official to allow this kind of thing.
