Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Cemetery.

Snow-like white flowers danced in the air, falling on the tombstones inlaid with holy silver, like a dream-like scene.

A ray of golden sunshine broke through the clouds and slanted down.

The entire cemetery was illuminated by golden light, exuding a sacred atmosphere.

In this dark and strange world, we can still find such a beautiful area, which seems to form a clear dividing line with the surrounding silent and gray land, like two different realms.

Just today, the tranquility of the cemetery seemed to be broken.

The Saint of El-Melloi arrived at the front of the cemetery with hundreds of bishops, nuns, and a row of deacons in pure white robes behind him.

Although their movements were deliberately gentle and quiet, so as not to disturb the souls of the saints who were sleeping in the cemetery...

However, due to the large number of troops coming, there will still be some rustling sounds.

Chen Xi followed El-Melloi Holy Cult with a solemn expression and looked up at the sky.

This piece of real estate purchased by the Lieyang Church seems to have a mysterious force shrouding this place.

At the entrance of the cemetery, there is an independent stone tablet, revealing the vicissitudes of time.

On the stone tablet, the sacred precepts observed in the cemetery were clearly written in golden characters——

1. Non-clergy members of Lieyang Church are not allowed to enter;

2. Have sincere beliefs and refrain from blasphemy;

3. It is prohibited to enter the cemetery at night;

4. Those who violate the Sunnah will be punished by the Lord!

Chen Xi focused her eyes on the stone tablet and moved slightly.

According to the rules, except for clergy members of the Burning Sun Church, it is almost impossible for outsiders to have access to the cemetery.

otherwise……

Violating the rules will result in "punishment from the Lord."

Her astral body sensed that there was extremely strong sunlight nearby, and even just staying here would be of great benefit to her mental strength.

As if there is no need for meditation and practice, the astral body can automatically condense stronger energy.

One can imagine how powerful the aura of the sun bathing in the cemetery is!

There is almost no chance of blasphemy by outsiders.

at this time……

The Saint of El-Melloi advanced slowly and led everyone to the front of the three stone monuments deep in the cemetery.

He closed his eyes and seemed to express his will to the Lord of the Fierce Sun through meditation. Then he looked at the few monks behind him and said:

"Let's do it."

The monks stepped forward and chanted scriptures...

The next second.

Under the tombstone, an underground cave sealed by a stone door opened automatically!

A narrow, dark passageway was revealed inside, which could only accommodate one person.

The Holy Cult of El-Melloi glanced at Chenxi and several white-clothed bishops, then designated five people and motioned for them to follow.

The monks and nuns behind him, including the red priests and the bishops below, could only stop outside and wait.

…

Passing through the dark corridor, the morning light followed the Holy Cult of El-Melloi until they reached a closed stone chamber.

When we arrived here, the surrounding air became oppressive and thick, and a smell of death lingered in front of us, making people feel uneasy involuntarily.

at this time……

The Holy Cult of El-Melloi stood in front of the bronze door of the stone chamber, chanting ancient and obscure incantations.

Boom! ! !

The next second, the bronze door made a roar and slowly opened towards both sides.

A holy coffin soaked in flowing mercury and inlaid with gold was reflected in everyone's field of vision under the illumination of luminous gems on the dome like stars.

"Is this the holy coffin?"

When Chen Xi witnessed this scene, she felt inexplicably shocked.

The sacred and the weird coexist.

She couldn't help but feel that her own strength was too small. Compared with this vast and strange world, she was still in the novice stage, and a desire to become stronger quickly emerged in her heart.

The Holy Cult of El-Melloi looked deeply and slowly waved the holy staff in his hand.

The next second, the mercury lingering silently around him automatically faded towards both sides like a tide.

The holy coffin is placed vertically on its side and is perfectly embedded in the square groove cut out of the stone wall.

boom!

Suddenly, the golden coffin board covering the holy coffin automatically popped open!

finally……

The holy coffin, which had been sealed for a hundred years, was opened for the first time since it was sealed in dust, revealing its true appearance.

The former Bishop Von Lucius, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face like the roots of an old tree, his eyes closed and his hands clasped, slept here forever.

He was still wearing the attire of a bishop from a hundred years ago, still continuing the tradition of the church, and it was no different from today.

If I have to say it...

According to a realistic portrait of von Lucius painted by an artist in a public gallery, he should have been wearing a silver cross on his chest, but now the cross is missing and looks like it has a small empty space.

But no one seems to notice such details...

A long sigh of relief came from behind.

A white-clothed bishop said with a happy face: "Bishop Lucius's body is still resting here and is well preserved. This clown attack must not be related to that Holy Cult."

However, the Holy Cult of El-Melloi had a gloomy face and slowly moved towards the holy coffin.

The next second...

He came to the front of the holy coffin, only a stone's throw away from Lucius's body, and suddenly tore it into his face!

Suddenly, a dried human skin mask was torn off the face of Lucius Holy Cult!

The face below is actually empty!

Strips of bloody worms were moving slowly under Lucius's face, emitting a fishy smell!

Sizzle! ! !

The bloody bug seemed to sense the crisis and let out a strange cry!

However, the sacred flames quickly burned these insects, turning them into black mist and dissipating into the air.

Immediately afterwards...

A funny clown mask appeared under Lucius's empty face, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, seeming to laugh at everyone's ignorance.

Several bishops standing behind witnessed this scene and were so shocked that they couldn't make a sound, and their whole bodies trembled uncontrollably.

El-Melloi's Holy Cult's expression was as gloomy as ever before. He turned around slowly, his calm tone seemed to contain boundless anger:

"From today on, the Burning Sun Church has issued the most wanted order!"

"Arrest Bishop Von Lucius for betrayal and fraud!"

"And purge the church of traitors!"

…………

Integrity restaurant.

Pieces of fresh and delicious cakes are placed on the shelves in the shop window.

It seems to have become the original West Street cake shop.

The entire decoration style seems warmer, and the warm-colored ceiling exudes a gentle glow, making the entire restaurant bright and neat.

After setting everything up, Chen Ye turned on his mobile phone and paced back and forth in the store while counting down the final stages of this month's tasks.

"ten……"

"Nine……"

"eight……"

For the last ten steps left, Chen Ye walked slowly, watching the progress of the pedometer, and reached the stage where he was just a hair away.

"one……"

When the pace came to the last step, Chen Ye suddenly stopped, and an extra dice appeared in the palm of his red-gloved hand.

He took a deep breath and prepared to test the power of the dice.

The next second...

Chen Ye no longer hesitated, threw the dice in mid-air and fell to the ground.

The dice rotated several times at high speed on the ground, and then it turned up, and there was an eye-catching number——

"6"

Chen Ye smiled slightly, no longer hesitated, and took the final step.

The bloody phone popped up a "ding ding ding" prompt as expected:

[Congratulations on completing this month’s stage tasks! 】

[Reward characteristic item - Soul Crosser's heart! 】

【Heart of the Soul Crosser】

Category: Characteristic items

Description: Materials required to advance to the third rank [Soul Rider] sequence.

…………

In front of him, a transparent heart seemed to appear in the form of a spirit body in front of his field of vision.

This heart is like an unreal shadow, caught between the real world and the spiritual world.

It is somewhat similar to the Yu Xian I saw at the beginning.

This means that the characteristic items in front of you are most likely related to the sequence of the [Spirit Realm].

"Soul Crosser?"

Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately opened the Eyes of Destiny to observe the heart.

At this moment, he discovered that the [Soul Crosser's Heart] separated into a glazed line, connecting to the golden stars in the depths.

There is also a slightly invisible Changhong Bridge, which turns into a horse and leads to one of the glazed stars in the sky.

The bloody mobile phone did not pop up any prompts for fusion features.

After reading the relevant description, Chen Ye pondered for a moment and made an analysis:

"This [Heart of Soul Crosser] is a characteristic item that can be promoted to the third rank [Soul Crosser] sequence..."

“The sequence of [Soul Crosser], could it be the occupational sequence corresponding to [Funeral Suona Man]?”

"Then this heart is most likely one of the characteristic items for promotion."

"However, in order to advance to the third level of characteristics, at least seven to eight different items of characteristics are required to be fused to complete the transfer."

"My [Funeral Suona Man] currently combines four characteristic items, and with this [Soul Crosser's Heart], I finally have five items."

"There are still two to three promotion materials left to reach the third rank."

Suddenly, Chen Ye looked at the heart in front of him and fell into deep thought.

etc……

Are the rewards for this month's phase tasks already determined in advance, or are different prizes determined at the moment of reward based on the player's development direction?

I just happened to step into the [Soul Crosser] sequence, and was rewarded with one of the promoted characteristic items...

Moreover, from this point of view, [Soul Crosser's Heart] is likely to be the most critical promotion material...

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

I don’t know what the rewards for other players’ phase tasks for this month are...

Chen Ye knows that each player will draw different initial professions to unlock stage tasks.

Of course, this involves the privacy of other players, and it’s not easy to ask more questions.

This coincidence... made Chen Ye pay more attention and began to think about the real secrets of this city and what the truth of this game was.

Boom, boom, boom!

At this moment, there were three polite knocks at the door of the store.

Chen Ye's mind moved and he immediately put away the [Soul Crosser's Heart] and turned to look at the door of the store.

Under dusk in the paradise, Chen Xi, Matthew, Xiao Ai, and the Poseidon Clan leader and Ajiaka beside them all appeared at the door at the same time.

Not far away, there was a twisted black shadow, projected on the ground like a curtain.

As night falls, the party begins!
