Chapter 21 Ghost Town
Xu Hui asked: "Then do you know where this evil god came from?"
Daniel sighed, "Actually, I don't know exactly where this evil god came from."
"I just heard from my grandfather that about 300 years ago, an 'evil god' suddenly came to our town of Wutong. It is said to be a god, but it is actually no different from a monster. Because it likes to devour human souls, it forces the people to recognize it. It conducts human sacrifices for gods."
"The evil god was tyrannical in the town back then, making the people here miserable. Later, some capable people from foreign countries came to our Wutong Town after they found out about it. A group of people worked hard to seal it in Underground. Because of that seal, this small town has been able to survive these years safely."
"Until eight years ago, the founder of our orphanage, Boss Wang, opened a mine in the town. Because the workers accidentally broke the seal while digging, this evil god who did all kinds of evil was reawakened."
Su Ji's thoughts moved, recalling the clues he got along the way, an extremely clear main line instantly appeared in his mind——
The seal was broken, and the evil god awakened.However, due to the long years of suppression, the power of the evil god has weakened and cannot make waves as before.In order to return to the world, the evil god used the evil spirit to control the mayor and asked him to search for sacrifices for himself, so that he could regain his strength and resurrect himself.
In addition to surviving and cracking the main plot, their player's task may also need to prevent the evil god from being born.
The fact is just as Su Ji guessed, after he sorted out the context of the whole thing, a familiar game prompt sounded beside his ears——
[Congratulations to player Su Ji for successfully advancing the main storyline. The current exploration rate of the main storyline is 100%.The main storyline is complete. 】
[Now the side mission - "Sealing the Cthulhu" is triggered, there are still two days before the end of the game, players please continue to work hard! 】
At the moment when he received the game prompt, Su Ji once again received surprised looks from his teammates.
However, he didn't intend to explain right away, but continued to ask the other party: "What happens after that?"
"After the evil god woke up, he gradually took control of the mayor, and then regarded the whole town as his altar."
"But I didn't know anything at the time. I was happy to hear that the mayor wanted to donate tables and chairs to the orphanage, but I didn't expect..."
"It's all my fault. It's my carelessness that led the wolves into the house..." His voice faded, weeping uncontrollably.
Su Ji looked at Daniel who was covering his face and sobbing, and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Qi again, and found that his lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were red and his body was trembling slightly, his hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched into fists, as if the next It will explode in seconds.
The pain the child suffered back then was beyond his imagination, as a bystander Su Ji would not persuade him to calm down at this time.After all, he has been suppressed for too long and he should release his emotional pressure, otherwise it will explode sooner or later like a pressure cooker that cannot be discouraged.
Thinking about it, he looked away calmly, intending to give the other party a little personal space to digest himself.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere in front of him, Shao Feng couldn't help but comfort him: "President Xu, those who don't know are innocent, and you can't blame it all. It's all the evil god's fault, so don't think too much about it."
Daniel shook his head with a remorseful expression, "I wanted to avenge everyone, that's why I became a priest. I wanted to use the power of God to exorcise the evil spirit, but I failed. Not only did I fail to get rid of it, but I was also suppressed by the pretender. Long evil souls seized the body..."
Hearing this, the players froze, and everyone's eyes flashed with surprise.No one thought that there was such a story hidden behind this incident.
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Hui said, "Remorse cannot solve the problem. Rather than being stuck in the past and complaining about yourself, don't you also want to defeat the evil god and avenge everyone?"
Hearing Xu Hui's words, Dean Xu, who had been in a slumped state, froze for a moment, and saw him nodding in amazement, "Yes! Defeat the evil god."
"Although I have failed, there are still you! You are warriors chosen by God. If God says you can do it, you will definitely do it!"
"........."
Daniel's rainbow fart made the players feel ashamed.You can guess it with your toes. Nine times out of ten, this so-called "God" is the main god of the game. In order to let them take this step, even the oracle came out.
Daniel wiped his face, cheered up and looked at Su Ji, with a serious voice: "You still have two days, if you don't act quickly, everything may be too late."
Hearing this, the players fell silent in unison.The survival time left for them in the game is only two days.
Although the game doesn't force them to complete side missions, but from what Daniel said, if they don't defeat the evil god, it seems that irreversible consequences will happen.
Xu Hui hesitated, and asked, "What do you mean by 'too late'?"
Daniel sighed and said: "Although the seal was broken back then, it was not completely released, so the evil god has always been suppressed. But as time went by, the seal's restrictions on the evil god became weaker and weaker. It is precisely because of this that the evil god has an opportunity to take advantage of."
"It releases evil souls to secretly cultivate its own power in Wutong Town. Although its puppets can't directly touch the seal to release its body, they can help it devour the souls of the townspeople to strengthen its power."
"After the people in the town died, because there were not enough new souls to replenish, its power has been stagnant. Until a few days ago, it devoured some of your companions—"
Speaking of this, Daniel paused and looked at Su Ji, "I can feel that it is trying to break through the seal. According to the current situation, the seal may not last for two days."
Hearing this, the people present fell silent in unison.
At this time, everyone can understand what the consequences of letting the evil god come back to the world.
Reminiscent of the side mission announced by the game not long ago, everyone's heart is clear.The game is telling them that they must complete the side missions within the next two days, otherwise they will become sacrifices to evil gods like everyone else in this town.
Looking at the F rank on the mission panel, the players couldn't help but curse MMP secretly.The rating of this game is a scam!
After calming down for a moment, Su Ji asked in a deep voice, "Where is the seal?"
"It's just...in the mine in the town."
"After Boss Wang passed away, his nephew never managed the mine. Later, the mine closed down due to poor management and the mine was abandoned."
As he spoke, Daniel panted heavily and coughed violently, with little spots of blood overflowing his lips.Everyone present was startled by this sudden scene.Xiaoqi even stepped forward to help him worriedly.
"Dean, you..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Daniel waved his hand.
Raising his sleeve and wiping the corners of his mouth, Daniel said slowly: "After being corroded by the power of evil gods for so long, this body is exhausted."
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the few people steadily, "I am running out of time. I will leave Wutong Town to you."
……
Leaving the solitary space to Xiaoqi and the dean, the players retreated to the side and began to discuss the next action.
"What should we do next, seal the evil god?" Shao Feng said with a bitter face, "But we are not professional in metaphysics, no way."
"You're worrying too much."
Su Ji said: "Since the game assigns us such a task, it means that there is actually a way to break the game behind it."
Shao Feng came to his senses immediately, "Did you think of something?"
Hearing this, Xu Hui also showed an inquiring look.
I saw Su Ji picking up the Bible.Seeing this, the two suddenly realized.
"You mean to say that the Bible can seal evil gods?"
Su Ji didn't answer, just tapped the thick cover with his index finger.After a while, he seemed to sense something, and then tore off the cover.
Seeing Su Ji's sudden operation, the two couldn't help being surprised——
"Su Ji, what are you doing?"
"Little Su, you..."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a crisp "click", and a small brass key fell on the marble floor.
Shao Feng:? ? ?
Xu Hui:! ! !
Su Ji picked up the key and looked at it for a while, and found that the key was in the shape of a cross, like a cross or a sword, with complex runes engraved on it.Observe carefully that there is still a small white light faintly flowing on the rune.
"It seems that it is the key that really works."
On the side, Shao Feng hesitated, and couldn't help asking: "How did you find out?"
"Because of the thickness of the cover." Picking up the Bible on the ground, Xu Hui looked at it, "The cover is a little thicker than the back cover."
As she said that, she couldn't help sighing: "Xiao Su's observation ability is really amazing. You can find such subtle places. If you don't take it apart, I won't pay attention."
"There is also a bonus of luck." Su Ji smiled, but did not deny it.
"So this key is the key to the seal?" Shao Feng rubbed his chin and began to reason on his own, "Do you think the seal is a lock? The lock is opened, so this key is needed to give the evil god Lock it back."
Following his train of thought, Xu Hui nodded, "It's possible."
"Then when are we going to leave?" Xu Hui's originally dignified expression became much more relaxed when she thought of completing the task ahead of schedule and leaving here.
"Definitely have to wait until dawn."
Shao Feng said: "The dean said that the seal is in the mine. But that mine has been abandoned for so many years, and there are many potential safety hazards in it. Even if we go, we must make sufficient preparations before going down." A series of safety problems that may be encountered in mines are listed.
This was the first time that Shao Feng showed his professionalism as a firefighter in front of his companions, and they couldn't help admiring them for a while.
"Since that's the case, then the matter of going to the mine will be fully entrusted to you."
Shao Feng: ...Huh?
He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Su Ji patted him on the shoulder, with a serious expression on his face: "There is a specialization in art. It's time for you to contribute to the organization."
After being stunned for a moment, Shao Feng finally nodded, "I see. Wrap it on me."
After arranging the tasks for Shao Feng, Su Ji finalized the action plan for the next day.After planning everything, they rested early and prepared to set off at dawn.
However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and the changes cannot keep up with the cruelty of reality.
The next day, when they pushed open the door of the church and saw the fog all over the sky, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
You know, this game won't let them pass the level so easily.
Daniel sighed, "Actually, I don't know exactly where this evil god came from."
"I just heard from my grandfather that about 300 years ago, an 'evil god' suddenly came to our town of Wutong. It is said to be a god, but it is actually no different from a monster.
