Start Cthulhu with priest

An Le turned her head to look, and the sobbing sound came from the stripped corpse.

A little mouse-like boy was crying on top of the man's corpse.

The passers-by nearby turned a blind eye to this scene, as if seeing a pile of rubbish on the road, without showing the slightest sympathy.

Kindness and sympathy are the most useless things in this slum.

At this time.

A group of people in dark coats broke into this messy alley, seemingly searching for something.

And soon, they set their eyes on the naked corpse. Although they were a little disgusted, they looked at each other and nodded.

Black Coat shouted roughly.

"Hey, brat, get out of the way!"

"This corpse was confiscated by us."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

The little boy hugged his father's thigh tightly and refused to let go.

"You are all bad guys!"

"Hehe, you bastard from the slums, what do you know?"

The black coat walked up to the little boy, easily lifted the back of his neck, and threw it aside.

If the fall was real, the back of the boy's head would probably explode.

But before the boy fell to the ground, he was caught by a man in black.

This person is An Le.

Although An Le is not the kind of person who is full of sympathy, he really can't stand by and do nothing in the face of this situation.

"Oh? Outlander?"

The leader's black coat seemed to see through An Le's identity at a glance, and sneered.

"For the sake of your new arrival, I will give you a suggestion, don't meddle in your own business in the future."

After speaking, they had no intention of doing anything, but packed the body in a black cloth bag and carried it away on their shoulders.

This series of movements is extremely fast and familiar, which is enough to make people feel "Why are you so proficient!"

An Le didn't stop these people's thoughts, but looked down at the little boy and said in relief.

"Are you OK?"

Just this glance surprised him a little.

A large piece of alienated flesh and blood grew on the boy's face.

Thin granulation sprouted from under the skin, entangled to form a terrifying sarcoid, and pus flowed out from the foul-smelling sores, occupying most of his face.

One eye socket almost completely lost the protection of the skin, the scarlet muscle, the eyeball connected with several blood vessels and nerves, were directly exposed to the air.

This picture alone is enough to make people living in peaceful times feel chills and feel strong physical discomfort.

"I'm fine..."

The boy said hoarsely.

It's just that his tear glands that were constantly secreting liquid and his almost dead empty eyes still showed the boy's desperate state of mind.

An Le asked, "Do you know if there is any place to live near here?"

He has been camping in the wilderness for more than two months, and now he also wants to find a place to rest.

"If you don't mind, you can come to my house."

There was a bit of anger in the boy's empty eyes, and he opened his mouth slightly dodged.

"Don't worry, no money will be charged."

An Le nodded thoughtfully: "Okay."

*****

An Le followed the boy to the depths of the alley and came to his door.

This is a tall and dilapidated apartment building. The paint on the exterior walls has long since peeled off, exposing the mixed building materials underneath.

But compared with the previous shack, the environment is still a bit better.

The neighborhood is very dark, and the narrow streets are covered by the shadows of the surrounding high-rise buildings, making people walking below feel extremely depressed.

There are not many pedestrians on the street, even if there are, they walk in a hurry.

Some people with nothing to do leaned against the shadow of the corner, looking at An Le maliciously, and their eyes kept turning back and forth on him.

But when they saw the boy leading the way for An Le, they silently looked back and looked at their next target.

Go into the apartment building.

The musty smell that has not been taken care of for a long time, along with the smell of alcohol, entered Anle's nasal cavity.

The residents here are very quiet, and they don't know if there are still people living there. The surveillance cameras in the corridors have been removed long ago, leaving only two exposed wire ends.

The boy came to an iron gate with random scratches and graffiti on it.

The key was inserted into the door lock, making a crisp "click".

The door opened, and the boy said first, "Mom, it's me."

It seemed that if he didn't do this, he would be attacked from inside the room.

An Le caught a glimpse of the black muzzle of the gun in the shadows, facing the direction of the gate. After hearing the boy's voice, she quietly let it go.

An Le, who possesses the [Shadow Body], feels like a fish in water in this bleak environment.

He could clearly see a woman squatting in the room, she looked young, she had just grown up, her complexion was abnormally pale, and she was staring at him vigilantly and uneasy.

The woman hardly made any sound, but her heart beat faster and faster.

The boy took the initiative to say: "Mom, this big brother saved me."

"Then... what about him?"

"Did he come back with you?"

The woman has obviously realized something, but her subconscious mind is unwilling to admit it.

The boy was much calmer now: "He died, and the body was taken away by infinite creatures."

His tone was very calm, he couldn't see the sadness when he was holding the corpse and crying at all, and it didn't look like the posture he should have at his age.

People who grow up in this kind of place will always mature more precociously.

"Sure enough... I told him not to go again."

"I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, I knew it!"

The woman gritted her teeth and cursed, but suddenly cried out, and then quickly wiped away her tears.

When her mood stabilized, An Le also revealed her reason for coming in due course.

"I want to stay here for a while, and if I get paid..."

An Le's tone faltered, he originally wanted to pay.

It's just that along the way, Anle found that the currency used by people in this city... seems to be different from that in Yuechong City?

He didn't know whether the money in his hand could still be spent.

In other words, An Le seemed to be a pauper again! ?

'So, what the hell is this place? '

An Le once again realized that it is necessary to collect information quickly, at least to find out where the city is now.

The woman quickly said: "Since you saved my daughter, you don't need to pay any rent."

"It's just that our family's environment is not very good, I hope you don't care."

"daughter?"

An Le was a little surprised, and carefully observed the child next to him again.

Her hair looked as if it had been chewed by a dog, it was short in length, she was young, and her facial features had not yet opened, so An Le mistook her for a boy.

But it is not difficult to judge her true gender by carefully observing her various signs.

The apartment is not big, there are only three rooms in it, but one room is divided into two halves, one half is where the girl lives, and the other half is locked.

In addition to the bedroom, there is a bathroom and a pitifully small kitchen.

There is barely room for people to turn around in the kitchen, and there is not much room for a refrigerator.

Entering the vacated bedroom, An Le noticed that the bedside table was full of medicines, many of which had hallucinogenic properties, and most of the medicine bottles had bottomed out, which showed that the life of this family was not very healthy.

*****

It's still early.

An Le did not continue to stay here, but wandered around outside the apartment in a black robe, and caught a resident who wanted to rob him by the way.

[Between the Darkness] The fragments bloomed with pure black light in An Le's palm.

Countless tiny tentacles drilled into this person's mind, extracting a lot of valuable information.

The city is called—

Abandoned city.

It is referred to as "Abandoned City" for short, and it also has aliases such as "City of Chaos" and "City That Never Sleeps".

As its name suggests, people here lead extremely polarized lives.

The residents at the bottom are undoubtedly the group of people who were abandoned.

On the top floor of the abandoned capital, there are big people who can enjoy almost everything.

And there is a very crucial point.

In this city... there is no Church of Radiance!

In An Le's impression, Huijiao is a great religion spread all over the world, and there are not a few people in every city who believe in the Lord of Hui.

This is probably the only city without the Church of Radiance.

It is a place abandoned by the Lord of Radiance.

This seems to be because the great figures in the abandoned capital united to cleanse the Hui Cultists here, and the original Hui Church was even destroyed. From then on, there was no place for the Hui Cult in the abandoned city.

And these years, the ban on Hui Cultists has been slightly relaxed, as long as they hide their identities well, they won't cause any trouble.

An Le also learned from the memories of the robbers about the three main giants in the abandoned capital.

They are the Montenegro security company that Anle met earlier;

Energy company "RG" responsible for urban energy and technological development;

There are also infinite biotechnology companies that carry out biological and genetic modification.

The top executives of these three major companies have almost 99% of the power in the waste capital, which is many times greater than that of the mayor of Yueyong City.

The order here has almost collapsed, and people only believe in one truth——

strength!

And the reason why Abandoned Capital is Abandoned Capital is another reason...

There are a lot of radioactive substances left in the soil and air here.

Simply put, there was a nuclear bomb with a very large yield.

As for the reason behind this, it is not something a small slum dweller can know.

The skin tingling that An Le felt before, and the alienated flesh and blood on the little girl's face were all caused by this radioactive substance.

The energy company RG has developed nuclear energy.

Infinite Biotechnology Company was able to grow bigger and stronger, also relying on the mutations brought about by radioactive substances.

People in the abandoned capital must regularly inject gene stabilizers to prevent their genes from suddenly collapsing and turning into terrifying monsters one day.

The research and development of Infinity Technology Company has also produced quite powerful results.

In addition to the superhuman system, there are third-level, second-level, and first-level genetic warrior routes in the waste capital.

Legend has it that there are also super genetic warriors who can compete with A-level superhumans.

*****

After reading a lot of information at once, An Le rubbed the center of his brows, and then threw those not-so-good pictures out of his mind.

There was a sound of "whoosh".

The blade formed by the shadow sliced ​​across the kidnapper's throat, easily ending his life.

An Le originally didn't intend to kill him, but changed his mind after reviewing his life.

This man has participated in the trafficking of human organs many times, and there are some crimes that make people sick just thinking about it.

Even if the skin is peeled and boiled, and it is made into something like a white chicken that is placed on the altar when offering sacrifices to the ancestors, it is not a pity to die.

What really makes An Le feel uncomfortable is.

This man was by no means alone in this ghetto.

Rather, most of the people who are still alive have come here in this way. Their hands are all stained with the blood of the same kind, and they stepped on the corpses of innocent people and climbed up.

It is an exaggeration to say that 80% of the people in this slum were pulled out and shot, and they all deserved to die.

But other than that, they couldn't find a way to survive.

It's a group of poor and pathetic people.

After putting away the emotion in my heart.

An Le took a closer look at the state of his body.

The radioactive material had little effect on him.

An Le's body has been transformed into a state different from that of ordinary people under the washing of extraordinary mysterious power time and time again, and the genes in the depths may have been tampered with into a strange appearance long ago.

There will be no mutation due to this emissive substance.

But the bad news is that An Le's ominous premonition has come true.

The distance between here and Yuesong City is so far that it is difficult to measure, and the currency used is completely different.

An Le has indeed become a pauper again, the penniless kind.

He still has some extraordinary relics and materials on him.

The former is the accumulation in Yueyong City, and of course the employees' automatic dedication during this time.

The latter came from the gift of the stone tribe on the wasteland.

But in this chaotic and disorderly place, if you want to sell these things, it might cause even bigger troubles.

An Le sighed: 'I have to find a way to make money. '

*****

Although An Le has made up her mind to make money, she still wants to take a good rest tonight.

He returned to the home of the mother and daughter and found that they had prepared a fairly sumptuous dinner.

This is a special nutrient paste. Leaving aside the taste, at least the calories are high enough.

And this is also the most common food eaten by the residents of the slums in the abandoned city.

For no other reason——

Cheap!

Fortunately, Anle doesn't have high requirements for food, just eat as much as you can, otherwise, you might spit it out after the first bite.

At the dinner table, An Le asked the woman's name.

The woman's name is Lin Jin, and the daughter's name is Chen Sisi.

It can be clearly seen that the mother and daughter are depressed, full of despair and worry about the future.

In such a place, it is obvious what will happen to the mother and daughter once they lose the protection of a man.

Not to mention, Chen Sisi already had severe genetic disintegration symptoms.

If the gene stabilizer is not injected in time, it will probably die suddenly in a short time.

For this reason, An Le also had some expectations and preparations in her heart.

That night.

An Le is resting in his room, saying it is "resting", but in fact he is just doing a different kind of practice - it is a big project to integrate more [Ghost Skeleton] into it.

At his level, sleep is no longer necessary.

In the dark and quiet night, the sound of Xi Suo came from outside the door.

The door opened quietly.

The muzzle of the black gun protruded from the crack of the door...

Thanks for the reward of 100 coins from "Soul of Darkness" and "Making Miracles Vigorously"! Thank you so much!
