Start Cthulhu with priest

Just as An Le thought, Montenegro Miki agreed to this small request without hesitation for too long.

However, correspondingly, with regard to monetary rewards, a part has been appropriately reduced.

An Le has no objection to this.

Brothers have to settle accounts clearly.

Moreover, there was no further communication between him and this aunt, which did not reach the level of "I know your depth, you know my length".

This form of clearly marked prices is more appropriate.

After completing the exchange of information, An Le got out of the car and left.

Seeing his leaving back, Heishan Meiji looked at Sister Chen and said, "Let the people in the R\u0026D department spare some time to study that kind of slate."

"It can make this person care so much, it must not be some ordinary extraordinary relic."

Montenegro Meiji is not a naive and ignorant little girl, otherwise she would have been eaten to nothing. An Le's clumsy rhetoric could not hide from her eyes at all.

And she doesn't need to study it by herself. With the status of Meiji in Montenegro, as long as she says a word, there will be countless people working hard for her.

You have nothing to lose by giving it a try.

As the eldest princess of the Black Mountain Security Company, she has long understood that problems that can be solved with money and material resources are not problems.

the other side.

An Le was not at all surprised that Heishan Meiji guessed that the stone slab was unusual, or that she was conducting some kind of research on it.

I predicted your prediction!

An Le was just looking for an excuse, as long as it made sense on the surface.

He wasn't nervous at all, because he believed—

If she simply used slate for research, no matter how hard Miki Montenegro tried, she was doomed to gain nothing.

The slate is really just a medium.

What really mattered was its connection to the church and a new gift to Anle.

Things have to start from yesterday.

*****

An Le finished exploring, returned from outside the church, and saw Sai Lei again.

And she acted calmly in front of An Le, as if they had never been in the room...

Naturally, An Le has nothing to fear.

After remembering the identity of her own boss, An Le felt that she had to show some majesty to Sai Lei.

So with a straight face, she directly asked Sai Lei about the slate.

He'd thought that this time Séreh would be prevaricating like before, or that she wouldn't know about it at all.

But to Anle's surprise, Sai Lei actually gave an affirmative answer after hesitating for a moment.

Those stone slabs are indeed related to the church. The power controlled by Father An in the past, apart from the madness of the believers, also their... original sin!

original sin?

An Le immediately caught this keyword.

From the current point of view, the slate corresponds to the seven original sins of human beings one by one, so he also called it "the slate of original sin".

But the key is, how to use them?

After An Le thought carefully, he suddenly had a premonition.

That power is probably related to the gift.

For the past two months, An Le has been accumulating filthy sanity, and has not tried to use them to improve skills.

One is that he wants to rely on his own efforts first to see to what level he can raise these extraordinary powers.

Second, the degree of danger of the recent situation has not exceeded the range that An Le can handle, and he wants to keep it as a hole card.

There is another more important reason... An Le wants to try to extract an abyss-level gift.

That is to say, after accumulating a full 10,000 points of filthy sanity, they can be extracted.

But right now, he is very close to this small goal.

[Filthy sanity: 9927! 】

And the premonition that rose in An Le's heart came from this.

This timing is too coincidental.

Thinking of this, An Le simply harvested some temporary useless taboo knowledge and harvested a wave of leeks from believers.

The filthy sanity finally reached 10,000!

An Le did not hesitate, and directly carried out the extraction.

[Filthy Sanity - 10000! 】

An unprecedentedly strong tremor came from Anle's body.

The air is disintegrated, the light and shadow are distorted, and the temperature is isolated.

Space and time are like toys in the hands of children, being played with wantonly.

An Le seemed to be trapped in another unknown and mysterious world.

There is nothingness there.

Nothing exists, but the boundless space where everything exists.

An Le and the area around him are being "attracted" and "grabbed" by him.

Fortunately, the existence of the church allowed An Le to stand firmly in place.

On the dome, countless gray tentacles snaked out, wriggling vividly, like a grand performance.

They pierced An Le's head, arms, thighs, calves, heart... and even every area of ​​his body.

Complicated and frantic information was injected from it, like seeds, rooted in An Le's body.

The filthy aura that can be called violent is washing An Le's body, and the tiny secret power penetrates into all his cells and nerves, transforming them into another state.

But in An Le's brain, he experienced extremely special emotions.

That is an existence that is more turbulent than waves, deeper than abyss, and towering than mountains——

desire.

All human behaviors, and even today's brilliant civilization, all originate from it.

Because of the desire to eat, people hunted prey, planted crops, and obtained food;

Because of the desire to mate, males fight each other for high-quality mates;

Because of the desire to live, people build houses to keep out the cold and warm...

Desire, in essence, is the foundation of all living things and the ladder of progress of human civilization.

A creature without desire cannot survive at all.

And the so-called seven original sins-greed, gluttony, envy, lust, anger, laziness, arrogance.

They are all manifestations of desire, and they are usually extreme in one direction.

Desire itself is innocent.

But if it is not properly managed, it will turn into a disaster for individuals and even groups.

And what An Le experienced at this time was the indoctrination of the seven original sins.

These seven extremely strong original sins filled An Le's brain.

emptiness.

The endless emptiness.

The stronger the desire, the more empty the feeling when it is not satisfied.

It's like a bottomless pit that can never be filled.

In the face of this emptiness, reason will only be overwhelmed in an instant.

An Le even felt that he had turned into a big white fat man who was so fat that he couldn't move. He was lying on the bed while sleeping and eating.

Sometimes he would suddenly wake up from the dream, roaring furiously like crazy, and sometimes his eyes were red, looking for a partner to mate with.

An Leguang had such an association, and a strong sense of nausea surged up unstoppably.

In order to escape from this endless, sad, emptiness, An Le even entered a state called "emptiness" for a moment.

The sensibility is wiped out in an instant, and only the mechanically cold thinking remains. Only in this way can we withstand the erosion of the seven original sins.

Rao is so.

An Le still felt that unconsciously, a part of his heart had been transformed into a completely different state.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

This kind of torture, which was more excruciating than suffering in the eighteenth hell, finally subsided.

It is different from the usual gifts.

Obtaining the gift this time did not bring any sense of comfort and comfort. On the contrary, there was an indescribable disgust and disgust afterwards, as if he was bored with the worldly affairs.

It is a distaste for yourself and everything around you.

An Le quickly glanced at Sai Lei, and found that she was still quite attractive to him, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't want to be a master of Taoism or a monk in a temple.

An Le looked at the panel again.

[Abyss level gift: six desires and seven crimes cited method]

【Desire is the root of human progress. 】

[Original sin is engraved in the blood of living beings. 】

[Legends say that there is a god who feeds on the original sin of mortals. He was supposed to be eternal and became stronger with the passage of human history, but he also fell due to ▇▇ during the period of divine breath. 】

【Relieve sins and guide desires, only then can you lead to the mystical and pure land of wisdom. 】

[But please remember that people who are overly driven by original sin will eventually be swallowed by original sin. 】

The name of this gift is quite different from the previous gifts, and it actually has a Buddhist meaning.

Regarding its description, there is also a similar mysterious and mysterious feeling.

Old Riddler.

But in just an instant, An Le understood exactly what power this gift had.

Its essence is like extracting filthy reason, it can extract the original sin of others.

And this part of original sin can also be transformed into a part of filthy reason.

There is no doubt that this is a very powerful ability, effectively adding a channel for An Le to obtain dirty sanity.

It's a pity that Anle's slate is not complete. There are only greed slate, gluttony slate, and arrogance slate. They are all just sporadic fragments, and it is nowhere near a complete piece.

An Le felt something, and took out the slate from the space relic.

Touching the shard lightly with his hand, it absorbed to his skin like a living thing, and gradually blended into it, gradually becoming a part of An Le's body.

Although they were just fragments, An Le already knew how to use them.

Not only the extraction of the original sin, but also the original special ability of the slate.

An Le first summoned Kano who was recently recruited into the company in the church, and made some attempts on him.

An Le was very satisfied with the result.

As for the specific kind of experiment, it is better not to say.

In short, it was precisely because of this gift that An Le made up her mind to collect the slab fragments seriously, and that's why she made such a request to Miki Montenegro.

*****

Turn the time back to the present.

An Le came to a market in an abandoned city.

Now that I got the money, I naturally want to squander it to improve the quality of life, and buy some delicious food by the way to satisfy my appetite.

——Two months of hard life in the wasteland have left a psychological shadow on Anle.

The market environment is better than An Le expected.

Although it was still messy and messy, at least the most basic order was maintained.

There are personnel wearing Montenegro security uniforms patrolling, and they will step forward to stop any disputes or fights.

However, just to enter this market, you have to pay a certain fee, which can be regarded as an alternative protection fee.

After all, if the transaction is carried out in other places in the civilian area, I am afraid that as soon as I take out something, I will be murdered and robbed.

There were people from the three major companies present, and most of them were relatively honest.

An Le was wearing a hood, relying on the ability of the greedy slate to change his face, walking in the crowd unobtrusively.

This bazaar was unexpectedly lively, and various shouts could be heard.

"Fresh Chinese cabbage! Take a look, take a look, the degree of variation is less than 30%!"

"The whole live chicken is sold! Don't miss it when you pass by!"

"There are 80% new firearms and weapons here!"

An Le walked around and found that everything was sold here.

There are food, drinks, clothes, guns, and there are not a few people who sell themselves in the market.

There is a shack next to it, and the guest followed the woman into it, and the door creaked as soon as it was closed.

An Le just looked carefully.

Ingredients like vegetables and meat are more or less oddly shaped.

Especially for living chickens and fish, there are four pairs of wings fluttering together, or three tails flicking back and forth.

There are countless grotesque creatures.

Obviously, these are all brand new species born under the influence of nuclear radiation here.

Over a long period of time, these creatures have deviated from their original state, becoming deformed, ferocious and terrifying.

Like marine life in the waters around an island country.

Generally speaking, such foods are not edible because of the natural accumulation of radioactive materials in their bodies.

Long-term consumption in the past will inevitably cause physical lesions.

But for the people in the abandoned city, this is obviously not an important thing.

The residents here, just to survive, are already doing their best.

Most of the vendors here also have large pieces of diseased tissue on their bodies, with pustules or large areas of ulceration.

There are not a few deformed people who seem to have an extra arm, three legs, and two heads, which look quite terrifying.

Some people even fell to the ground suddenly while walking, their flesh and blood festered. Immediately, people from the Black Mountain Security Company stepped forward to check, but instead of doing it themselves, they called to inform others.

Soon, men in a different uniform arrived on the scene.

"That's the scavenger."

Pedestrians beside him were discussing in low voices, showing expressions of disgust and fear.

An Le could recognize at a glance that these so-called "scavengers" were the same type of people who carried the man's body away that day.

It is not difficult to guess that they should be employees of Infinite Biotechnology Company.

And the meaning of "scavenger" is also clear at a glance.

Using these dead bodies as some kind of experimental material is probably something they do every day.

However, most people didn't react to this, as if they saw a very ordinary little thing.

An Le did not comment on this, but silently purchased what she needed.

The vegetables and meat he chooses are all vegetables and meat with a very low degree of variation, which are what people here call "high-quality products"-although his physique will not be affected by radioactive substances, he still has to consider the physical condition of the mother and daughter.

And this kind of high-end goods is obviously not something that ordinary people can buy.

Soon, someone quietly came to An Le and asked, "Boss, do you want to make a big deal?"
