Chapter 17 Ghost Town

After listening to what Su Ji said, Shao Feng and Xu Hui suddenly fell into a shock that could not be calmed down for a long time.

After a long time, Shao Feng finally recovered his voice, "So... you mean that the priest Daniel we met earlier is a fake? Besides, he wants to sacrifice us to evil gods?"

"Yes."

Su Ji said: "I just heard Daniel tell me at the bottom of the pool that we were deceived, and he did not say those words. He also said that his body was occupied by evil spirits. Although he tried to resist, he failed. .”

"So I speculate that the one I saw at the bottom of the pool should be the real Daniel, whether it is consciousness or soul, he is the Dean Xu back then. And the priest Daniel we saw earlier should be the one he said was the one who was killed. A shell occupied by evil spirits."

"What the hell is going on here?" Shao Feng just felt that his mind was in a daze. How could there be another fake Daniel who was possessed by an evil soul?

Compared with Shao Feng, who was full of question marks, Xu Hui's ability to understand was much stronger, "So after the fire that year, Daniel... that is, although Dean Xu didn't die, he was taken away by an evil spirit?"

Su Ji nodded: "It can be understood in this way."

Shao Feng scratched his head, "But who is that evil soul occupying his body?"

After so many years of nurturing in film and television literature, Xu Hui quickly made an association based on the known information, "Could it be an evil god?"

Su Ji shook his head, "Although there is this possibility, but thinking about it carefully, there is always something wrong."

Xu Hui asked: "What's wrong?"

"If it was an evil god, then he would just say that the evil god occupied his body. Why did he say it was an 'evil soul'? Moreover, what the evil god wants is a human soul, so his behavior of occupying Daniel's body is irrelevant. Some things don't make sense."

Hearing this, Xu Hui slightly bowed her head in agreement, "Indeed. This does not match the characteristics of the evil god."

On the side, Shao Feng listened to the thoughts of the two for a while, and finally couldn't help but express his opinion: "You said... Could this 'evil soul' be a follower of an evil god?"

Hearing that, the two suddenly stagnated.Seeing that the two men were focusing on him, Shao Feng rubbed the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "Because judging from what this fake Daniel has done so far, he seems to be on the same side as the evil god. Since he is not the evil god, Then he must also be a supporter of the evil god."

Seeing that Su Ji and Xu Hui didn't speak, Shao Feng immediately stopped talking, "...Um, these are all guesses by me, don't blame me if I'm wrong."

"Your guess makes sense."

Su Ji said in a deep voice: "During the Middle Ages, Catholic theology advocated the idea of ​​the devil. They believed that all disasters were caused by evil forces. If someone is labeled as a 'believer of the devil', then the soul will be considered to be evil. Yes, need to be purified."

"If the real Daniel believed in Catholicism, then he called the fake Daniel an 'evil soul', which is likely to tell us that the other party is actually a follower of evil gods."

In this way, the reason for how Dean Xu became Father Daniel is also clear.

Ever since he discovered that there was an evil spirit in the town, and knew that the children in the orphanage died because of the evil spirit, as a Catholic, he naturally placed his hope in God, hoping to defeat it through God and avenge the children.In this way, becoming a priest is the fastest way.

And he said to himself earlier, "Since God has chosen you, then I believe you will be able to save this town." This proves that he has received some "divine revelation".

It's just that Daniel didn't know that the revelation from the gods he thought was actually the arrangement of the main god of the game.

They, a group of players, were forced to come here, and had to passively accept the task of saving the town in a precarious state.It's hard to say that this is not due to the bad taste of the game master god.

Thinking about it, Su Ji couldn't help but sneer.

He hates being controlled by others.Even though there would be corresponding rewards for completing the task, it still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After listening to Su Ji's explanation, Xu Hui said thoughtfully: "If the 'evil soul' refers to the believers of the evil god", then he occupied Daniel's body to conquer him, and wanted him to become the evil god as well. believer? "

"It's possible." Shao Feng squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin, "Didn't it say 'the best way to defeat the enemy is to conquer the enemy's soul'."

Is it really just that?

Listening to the guesses of his companions, Su Ji didn't speak, but fell into another guess.

From the characteristics of this evil god who likes human sacrifices and devours people's souls, it can be seen that it is an extremely brutal and cruel existence.In its consciousness, it seems that it only wants to do it, but not whether it can do it.

If the evil god doesn't occupy Daniel's body, it's because it doesn't need it or thinks it's unnecessary.So on the contrary, is it possible to speculate that 'the reason why the evil spirit occupied Daniel's body is actually because it needs a body'?

But why does it need Daniel's body?Does it not have a body of its own?

Continuing to think along this line of thought, Su Ji suddenly stopped.

……

No, perhaps, it really has no body.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a place to parasitize.

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying guess popped up in his mind.

Daniel said earlier that as outsiders, the longer they stay here, the greater the risk of being assimilated.

Could it be that by assimilation he meant being possessed by these evil spirits?

Suddenly, Su Ji couldn't help but think of those tentacle monsters that suddenly appeared in the square, and the two players whose bodies disappeared in the first night.

No wonder no one in this town...

This is all because they have become monsters!

The moment Su Ji had this idea, the game's prompt sounded in his mind——

[Congratulations to the player Su Ji for successfully advancing the main storyline. The current exploration rate of the main storyline is 85%, and there is still 15% left for the full-line clearance. Please continue to work hard! 】

Xu Hui and Shao Feng were stunned by the sudden game notification sound.

Shao Feng opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Ji with disbelief, "What did you just do?"

Are they still discussing it?Why did you push the plot to 85% all of a sudden?This speed is faster than riding a rocket!

Su Ji raised his eyes and took a deep look at the two, "Because I know why the people in this town disappeared."

Seeing the astonished expressions of his two companions, he paused: "They were all possessed by followers of evil gods... that is, evil souls, and became inhuman existences."

Whether it was the unknown monster that killed the two players on the first night, or the tentacle monsters in the square, they were probably once residents of this town.

After learning the truth of the matter, the two suddenly fell into silence.

Although the main storyline was advanced and the truth about the disappearance of the people in the town was deciphered, they were not too happy.

Because knowing the truth also means that their opponent is not just the evil god that exists in the black hole, but also its vassals—

Those "evil souls" without bodies.

They were incorporeal, like a dark bug hiding in a corner, staring at their shells.At this moment, he might be hiding somewhere and secretly watching their every move.

This feeling makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Xu Hui suddenly thought of the spider-like monster with long legs that appeared in the third season of "Stranger Things".They parasitize on human beings, use the human body to cover themselves, and constantly build their own army, and finally rely on the bodies of these dead human beings to form a huge monster, trying to occupy the entire world.

When watching TV dramas, she only felt that the screenwriters had great brains and the special effects were very realistic, but once these settings were applied to the environment they are experiencing now, she no longer looked at it with admiration It makes sense.

Su Ji naturally also felt the worry of his companions, but it is definitely not a wise choice to continue the meaningless panic.

In the face of powerful opponents, they must maintain a calm mind and must make quick decisions.

As Daniel told him earlier, the longer they stay here, the more dangers they will encounter.

So deciphering all the plots and leaving here as soon as possible is the most important thing at present.

Thinking about it, he said: "At present, 85% of the plot has been completed, do you have any ideas for the remaining 15%?"

The question raised by Su Ji diverted their attention, and the two of them gradually broke away from the previous uneasiness.

Shao Feng thought for a while and said, "I guess the last 15.00% should be related to evil gods."

Xu Hui nodded, "I agree with Xiao Shao, but I want to add one more thing."

Su Ji looked up and said, "Please tell me."

"About the mayor." Xu Hui paused for a moment and continued: "The reason why we came here was to investigate the mayor. But until now we still don't know anything about him."

"We only know that the fire in the orphanage was instigated by him, and that he sacrificed the children in the orphanage to the evil god. But apart from knowing that he is a believer of the evil god, we didn't get any other new information. news."

"The children in the orphanage died, and the dean escaped to become Daniel, but what about the mayor? Where did he go? Dead or alive? Or was he assimilated into a monster here? We don't know. "

As she spoke, Xu Hui adjusted her glasses, "It's like a super villain in a hero movie. Before the audience sees him being defeated by the protagonist, he disappears inexplicably. At the same time, the protagonist already knows this The truth of everything. Such a plot arrangement is obviously very unreasonable."

Hearing this, Shao Feng rubbed his chin and nodded, "Sister Xu is very reasonable." If there is no accident, the mayor is likely to be the key figure in advancing the last 15% of the main plot.But where are they going to find the mayor?

Looking at the surrounding ruins, Shao Feng scratched his head a little irritably, "Now the town government has collapsed, and our only clue is broken."

"No. The thread may not be broken."

Hearing this, Shao Feng looked at him in surprise, and heard Su Ji say in a low voice, "I'm afraid the clues we need will come to you soon."

Xu Hui: "How do you know?"

Su Ji smiled without saying a word.

Now that the main story line has been pushed to 85%, it is time to enter the most critical plot point according to the urine of RPG games based on reasoning.

So at this time, the big boss should also appear, right?
