The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

Many cultists are a bunch of cowards who are fierce and cruel to others, but fearful and terrified when it's their turn.

Except for some cultists who are really out of their minds.

The reason why the investigator said this was because he wanted to test the extent of the mental illness of the black hand behind the scenes.

"Stupid mortals, only the flowers of happiness that have been watered by pain are the most beautiful and beautiful. As the Lord's favorite, I must experience the trials and pains bestowed by the Lord, so that I am qualified to bloom." A look of pity.

"This is your training?" The investigator continued, "What do you want these people to do?"

He is delaying time, he has already sent someone to ask for help, it is better to delay if he can, because he is completely unsure about the current situation.

"Don't you think this is a very beautiful picture?" The pharmacist pointed to the smiling crowd in front of him, "Look at them, the smiles on their faces are so beautiful, and now they all enjoy the joy bestowed by our Lord, don't they?" ?”

"So? And then? You're going to keep them like this forever?"

"Of course not. As I said, only the flowers of happiness that have been watered by pain are the most colorful and beautiful. These flowers are not beautiful enough."

Hearing his speech, the normal people around suddenly had a very ominous premonition.

"What the hell are you going to do?"

"Stupid mortal, I've made it so obvious, don't you understand?" The pharmacist opened his arms and smiled slyly, "Of course it's to water the pain!"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the people who were originally smiling suddenly changed uniformly, becoming distorted at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a painful expression as if they were in severe pain.

Then they opened their eyes, as if they had woken up, and screamed loudly one by one, and suddenly there was a loud and noisy scream.

The impact of a large group of people screaming at the same time is undoubtedly huge.

As for this scene, Lu Nier suddenly had an amazing sense of familiarity. He recalled it and found that he seemed to have seen a similar scene, but it was not so grand.

"Hahahahahahahahaha or..." The pharmacist laughed wildly, his back was wriggling, and several thorns protruded from the dress.

"Thorns?!" Lunier remembered.

[The Religion of Suffering], followers of the Suffering Religion.

When he used the character card for the first time, he was managed by the system for the rest of the time, and he solved a group of martyrs by the way.

"You are a remnant of misery!" Apparently the investigator who was talking to the pharmacist saw it too.

"Humble bug, who gave you the courage to call me Remnant?"

The attitude of the pharmacist has changed greatly from before. The thorns behind him dance wildly, like several giant pythons.

It was only at this moment that Lu Nier clarified his real purpose.

The reason why he went to great lengths to acquire the restaurant, and held the restaurant to open for free, is to let more people eat the food with the happy medicine, and then let them be infected by evil power, and then attract them to come, Use evil power to make this group of people suffer severe pain, so as to draw strength from the pain.

[The Cult of Suffering] is such a cult that allows people to gain strength from pain. Most of the cultists are sadistic perverts who make others suffer in order to quickly gain strength.

The greater the number of people, the more intense the pain, and the stronger the power absorbed.

But now, there are hundreds of people who have been possessed by evil spirits after eating free meals. This is the result of Lu Nier's efforts to purify many people.

At this moment, the severe pain caused by their unification has become a continuous source of strength for the pharmacist, pouring the water of pain on his thorns.

"This is the gift of my lord! The glory of my lord!"

Feeling the huge power in his body, the pharmacist showed a fascinated expression on his face, and the thorns on his back became bigger and bigger, even sprouting flower buds.

Lunier looked at the pharmacist with a solemn expression. He felt that something was wrong, because in his [spiritual perception], the painful emotions were transformed into substantial power and fed back from those suffering from evil spirits, but there was no All feed back to the pharmacist.

Instead, it was fed back to the mansion behind him, and the power distributed to the pharmacist was only a part of it, and it was still relatively small.

"Everyone is on alert. This is a cult member who is very likely to advance to the level of a C-level professional. Don't get close to him and attack him from a distance!" The lead investigator also quickly issued an order.

"Yes!"

Other investigators ambushed nearby responded and opened fire on the pharmacist.

All of a sudden, gunshots continued, and bullets rained towards the pharmacist, enveloping him, obviously attacking with the attitude of killing him.

However, the pharmacist was not an idiot. Before the investigators shot, he manipulated the thorns behind him into a shield in front of him, preventing the bullets from attacking.

The bullets were inlaid on the thorns, and as the thorns wriggled and expanded, the bullets were squeezed out one after another and fell to the ground.

"It's my turn!"

Chapter 268 The Price of Happiness (22)

Passionists.

According to the records that Lu Nier had read, if you want to judge their strength, you should look at the thorns behind them. If the thorns are long and slender, they are E-level;

Such thorns that only bloomed buds can only be regarded as between D-level and C-level, but with so much energy supply, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the pharmacist advances to C-level.

And this time should not be very long, because the buds on the thorns are already trembling, as if they will bloom at any time.

The thorns of the Patriarchs not only have physical attacks, but also give people mental pain attacks when they are whipped on people, that is, they intensify the pain of thorns. According to the level of the cultists, this pain is about equivalent to The whip was stained with salt, chili water, and mustard.

However, until the C level, the main attack method of the Patriarchs is to use thorns for physical attacks.

The appearance of the Patriarchs directly raised the seriousness of the matter to another level. The empire has always had zero tolerance for cults, let alone the notorious Patriarchs?

Even this Cult of Suffering is one of the important reasons why an empire has such an attitude towards cults.

In the face of this martyr, no investigator would have the idea of ​​holding back, and immediately attacked with a gun.

But most of the bullets were blocked by the thorns, and only a few bullets with enhanced penetrating power pierced through the thorns, causing substantial damage to the pharmacist.

But he just swayed his body like a normal person, and then took the initiative to attack the nearest investigator around him.

Although the cultists can quickly increase their power by offering sacrifices, there is also a similarity in it. The more the cultists are in harmony with the evil god, the more power and gifts they will get under the same sacrifice.

In the Suffering God Cult, this kind of compatibility lies in whether the cultist is a masochist.

In short, the more a pervert he can feel relaxed and happy in pain, the more he will be favored by the evil god himself, and thus gain more power.

The thorns spread and grew from the pharmacist's back, and quickly stretched out, like a giant python completely obeying the pharmacist's command, attacking an investigator.

But not all the thorns were used for offense, and there were a few knots that were twisted into a circle and spread out to form a shield against bullets.

The investigator who was attacked also knew that he could not confront the pharmacist's thorns head-on, so he directly chose to retreat.

However, the pharmacist pursued him so closely that he even gave up his own legs and relied on two thorns to push himself forward.

Now there are more than a dozen thorns growing on the back of the pharmacist, and he is also very small compared to those thorns, making him completely transformed into a strange shape, less and less human.

Naturally, the other investigators would not just watch, and rushed over to support them with their own weapons. Except for a small number of intern team members like Lu Nier, most of them were formal investigators, that is, It is said that each of these people is at least an E-level professional.

As investigators, most of their awakened professions focus on combat abilities, and they have undergone professional training and rich experience. If they are at the same level, it is not a problem at all to fight a few cultists if they are prepared.

Although the pharmacist is now a cultist between the D and C ranks, facing the siege of so many investigators, it is completely unfavorable.

What's more, among these investigators, there is a strong person at the level of Alonia, and the investigator who was pushed out to lead is also a D-level professional.

In an instant, the pharmacist was jointly suppressed by the investigators.

Most of the thorns were pinned down, and only a few had enough energy to attack, but they couldn't exert any effect at all, and they were easily dodged by swinging and whipping.

Lu Nier did not participate in the siege, but quietly lurked among the crying crowd and stretched out his hand.

After his own judgment, he chose to use the power of [Holy Rune Gloves] to solve the source of the pharmacist's power. As long as these people stopped the power supply, the pharmacist would have nothing to worry about.

The moment he was touched by Lu Nier, the person who was screaming in pain stopped screaming, and his body fell limply on the ground, falling into a coma.

Seeing this, Lu Nier immediately accelerated his speed, quickly shuttled through the crowd, and reached out to touch the screaming people.

"Ok?"

Probably aware of a problem with his source of power, the pharmacist turned his head and looked at the sacrifices that kept falling in the crowd.

"not good!"

This situation was outside the scope of his plan.

The pharmacist's expression didn't change, but he had temporarily changed his mind. Most of the evil power converted from pain would flow into the Finger's mansion, and only a small part would flow into himself.

But now, in an instant, the flow of power changed, and almost all the evil power was poured into him, causing the buds on his thorns to vibrate violently.

Seeing this scene, the other investigators became more aggressive, hoping to kill him before he advanced to C-level.

However, the pharmacist is not an idiot, he completely changed the previous mode at this moment, the thorns surrounded him like a ball, forming a shield with no dead ends.

"Step aside!"

The investigator who led this operation shouted, holding a long sword in his hand, suddenly sprinted forward and jumped onto the thorns, raised the long sword regardless of the danger, stabbed heavily, and pierced the long sword into the ground. In a sphere of thorns.

According to the location, the sword should have pierced the pharmacist's head through the thorn shield.

Alonia also aimed at the location of the pharmacist's heart, and fired several times with the enhanced wonder bullet, hitting the same location, piercing through the thorns' defense.

After doing this, the leader of the investigators did not stop there, but pulled out the sword and stabbed it several times from different angles, the long sword was also stained with red blood.

Then, he backed up, out of the first attack range of the thorns for the sake of caution.

"Is he dead?" The leading investigator was slightly relieved.

"No." Alonia answered his question.

"But... an injury of this degree..."

The next moment, the thorns began to unfold again, and the buds growing on them began to bloom slowly one by one, revealing black and coquettish flowers. This kind of flower is like a black sunflower, except that the disc in the middle is not a seed, but a A strange face that seemed to be crying out in pain.

The thorns spread slowly like a peacock spreading its tail. Compared to before, the thorns on the thorns were slightly darker and purple, exuding a dangerous atmosphere, as if poison had been quenched on them.

The pharmacist reappeared in front of everyone, but now he didn't know if he could be called a living person.

There were a few holes in his head and a few more bullet holes in his heart, but judging from these, it was completely fatal to a human being, the kind that would cause instant death.

However, at this moment, the pharmacist shook his body like a normal person.

The investigators who saw this scene felt shuddering. This scene is like seeing a dead person suddenly get up from the ground.

"Be careful, everyone, retreat!"

After advancing to C level, the suffering cultists will have new powers. This kind of power is no longer as simple as thicker thorns, but an ability similar to magic.

Moreover, the type of this ability is unpredictable. No one knows what kind of abilities the Suffering Cultist who has advanced to C level will have.

"The ability he acquired is immortality?" Many investigators speculated.

Although most cultists have become non-human in appearance, they are still limited by the human body, that is, the heart and brain are penetrated, which is equivalent to death. Even cultists whose vitality has become very strong due to mutations, there are very few The one who was able to stand when both were fatally wounded at the same time.

Compared with the investigators in front of him, the pharmacist is now fully focused on the sacrifices, and the number of sacrifices is constantly decreasing, which is what he cares most about.

He didn't even look at these investigators, and rushed directly towards the suffering crowd. Compared with just now, his thorns were stronger and more powerful, and his speed was a bit faster.

"who is it?!"

The pharmacist had already noticed the fallen sacrifices. They didn't suffer any physical injuries, but the power of the evil gods on their bodies had been eliminated, and their spirits were traumatized to activate their self-protection mechanism, so they fell into a coma to protect themselves.

In other words, someone has the ability to quickly dispel the power of the evil god he believes in. As far as he knows, apart from being able to restrain the power of the evil god, only advanced professionals can do it.

He is more inclined that the person has items and abilities to restrain the power of evil gods, because if he is a professional, he feels that the other party will be more inclined to directly solve his own body.

Although……

"found it!"

The pharmacist caught Lunier in the crowd. At this moment, the crowd has already collapsed, and giving Lunier a period of time will purify the evil power from everyone.

But Lunier also noticed the pharmacist, or rather, he has been paying attention to the pharmacist.

In order to prevent accidental injury to the innocent crowd, Lunier stopped the purification, got away from the crowd, and exposed himself to the pharmacist.

"Investigator?" Looking at Lunier, the pharmacist thought.

At this moment, in his eyes, Lu Nier is an ordinary person with an inconspicuous appearance, but this is only his first impression. He knew that this impression was unreasonable, so he immediately thought about it, and then put Lu Nier Neil became...

An inconspicuous investigator.

And Lunier is still wearing a mask at this moment, and the spiritual will of the pharmacist is obviously not enough to support him to completely crack the cognitive deception of [Phantom of the Opera].

"When did the means of purifying evil power become so common? Or..."

The pharmacist was puzzled, but he already regarded Lu Nier as an enemy that must be eliminated. Even if he was not eliminated, at least he should not be allowed to continue to purify the evil power of the suffering sacrifice.

And the investigators behind him didn't continue to attack him, but spread out to form an encirclement, a group of three, blocking the road around the pharmacist.

They also noticed the abnormality, but because they had too little information, they couldn't deduce anything.
