Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 It looked a little silly after recovery, and it meowed intimidated by the chocolate on its shoulder. It actually showed fear in the restraint.

　　 "Okay, it's my turn."

　　 Jenkins nodded and watched Miss Bevana stroke the air to make the horizontally lying skeleton stand up with the wooden board that fixed it, while the secret guard on the side dragged a dinner plate to Jenkins's side.

　　 There are some messy things on the dinner plate, which can be roughly classified into plant fruits, seeds, grass blades, leaves and even roots. There are dozens of types, all taken from different plants.

　　 The cat immediately expressed his possessive desire for the red cherry, but Jenkins didn't dare to give him anything here.

　　 "Then start with the simplest."

　　 said as he picked up the seed that was covered with mud, and then stretched out his hand and pressed it to the inside of the skull's eye socket. A few minutes later, the growing green vine completely wrapped the lower undead from top to bottom. After removing the fixture, it fell to the ground and turned torn apart.

　　 "As expected."

　　The secret guard muttered to the side, indicating that they could continue the test on the next test product.

　　 This kind of test has been going on for five rounds before it changes from an undead that can be artificially made to an undead creature related to a trick. The first special undead to be used was not a deceit, but a derivative of A-12-01-5588, [the bloodcoat of the dead].

　　 The appearance of this trick is a white shirt stained with blood. It was housed by the church in a box made of pure sacred silver (blessed silver), including the lock, all of pure silver. Its only characteristic is that it permanently and irreversibly transforms the creature wearing the clothes into the undead, and the resulting undead is in an indestructible state before taking off the blood coat.

　　 Miss Bevanna talked about the birth of this dress, which is related to a tragic love story at the beginning of this era, but Jenkins does not care about it.

First test the destruction of the special undead in the state of not wearing blood, and it is very smoothly destroyed; then test the undead in the state of wearing the blood, when Jenkins's hand penetrates into the skull of the skeleton, the powerful curse immediately follows the palm of the hand to the direction of the heart Spreading, terrible black lines appeared on the surface of the arm. The seed in his hand didn't even have time to receive the nourishment of the spirit of life, and immediately turned into a black strange substance.

　　 He hurriedly took his hand back and used [Healing Breath] to heal the whole body. Those strange marks did not completely disappear until ten minutes later.

　　 "It feels like you put your hand in the ice water. For a moment, the touch of your fingers completely disappeared."

　　 He whimpered while shaking his wrists, and his discomfort subsided quickly after his palm left the skull of the blood-clad skeleton.

　　 "It still seems too risky."

　　Miss Bevanna took Jenkins's hand and checked for him, "After all, it's a trick, maybe we are too anxious."

　　 "No, I feel okay. In fact, I feel okay. I think we can continue. At least we have to test the effect on A-06-1-4408."

"We will make a decision after checking your body at this point. A-12-01-5588 [Dead Man’s Blood Jacket], after all, is something similar to C-12-1-3011, [Sister Shroud Clothes], it can change forever The nature of living things, using this as the first special test object, is too risky."

　　 Miss Bevanna seemed to be frightened, and the secret guard on the side also agreed with her to be cautious at this time.

　　 But Jenkins has almost recovered at this time. In fact, he is also very concerned about the effect of his abilities on the undead, so he explained:

　　 "It's not an adventure, I feel that I can still...Huh? Nun Shroud suit?"

　　 This is a fairly familiar item name, and he is hiding in all the land of Jenkins. In order to find this gift, Jenkins encountered countless misfortunes in just three months.

　　 But he still doesn't know the specific function of this gift. The most missing information in the database behind the Gate of Vientiane is the information of various gifts. Even if he is now qualified to enter the third floor of the library because he has reached level 3, he still hasn't found any information about the nun's clothes.

　　 "Oh, where I seem to have heard of this name... in the book? It seems not. Other people chat? It doesn't seem to be either."

　　 pretended to be confused and incomprehensible, and recalled there, Miss Bevanna didn’t care about his expression, she directed the staff to put the blood jacket away and said:

"C-12-1-3011 [Shroud of nuns], it is only well-known among certain groups of people. The appearance of that dress is a dirty ancient nun's dress, but it is not clear which church it came from. It is owned by it. After wearing, the person can transform themselves into an undead physique, or in other words, can transform themselves into an undead, and after taking back or taking off their clothes, they will become alive again. This transformation process will not cause any harm, and possess This gift itself can be immune to some curses related to the undead."

"Oh, this way~ This should be very useful for gifted people who study necromancy. I think I probably heard of this dress from an ancient book. This is very rare, transforming oneself into an undead... ."

　　 Jenkins makes an expression that he has learned new knowledge, but actually intends to find it again in the near future.

　　 Due to fear of unexpected situations, the intensity of the next test was much lower. It wasn't until around four o'clock in the afternoon that A-06-1-4408 [curse of shipwrecked remains], which was re-sealed that night, was transported into the test site. It is currently in a deeply sealed state, and unless it is directly touched with the skin, it will not cause any harm to living people.

　　 After listening to Miss Bevana’s advice again, Jenkins held a branch and stuck it into the skull’s eye socket.

Section 788 Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy Two Players Chain (4/10)

In the proving ground behind the Gate of Vientiane, the branches held by Jenkins entered the skull’s eye sockets and grew smoothly, but they did not completely destroy the skeleton like last night, but wrapped the skeleton like a chain. whole body. Even if Jenkins stopped using his abilities, those green plants were not destroyed by the curse and necromantic power of the skeleton itself.

　　 "Um... it's a bit different from what I thought."

　　 Jenkins took a few steps back and let the researchers come closer.

　　 finally came to the conclusion that although Jenkins could not cause damage to A-06-1-4408 in a full body state, his behavior seemed to construct another solid seal. The spirit of life corresponding to the curse and the necromancer covers the material body of the deceit, and the power of life restrains the force of the deceit.

　　Such a seal of course cannot be permanent, but it will also be of great significance for the Church of the Sage to contain these terrible necromancers in the future. Simple experiments afterwards proved that plants strengthened by Jenkins's [Healing Breath] can build a seal on most special undead and undead bodies.

　　 Such a result made everyone feel that the whole afternoon was not wasted, and Mr. Smith, the secret guard, looked extremely happy. This old man rarely has such an expression, which means that the afternoon's conclusion is of extraordinary significance.

　　 "I didn't expect this ability to be so useful. I thought it was just a useful healing ability."

　　 After leaving the Gate of Vientiane, Jenkins followed Miss Bevana to check the follow-up investigation report of the last deception. Jenkins walked one behind Miss Bevana, and the woman's face became stiff when she heard Jenkins' words.

　　 "Well, very useful ability."

　　 She replied vaguely, lowering her head pretending to fiddle with her bracelet. That ornament is really beautiful. The small silver book pages and the same silver lingua franca are connected in series. Only a truly skilled craftsman can make such an object.

"I remember that even if it is the original ability of the soul, you can find similar abilities in the existing materials. I don't know if there are corresponding materials for [Contact Healing] and [Healing Breath]. Maybe I can find more interesting usages from them. ."

　　 Even a demigod sometimes encounters unmanageable situations, such as now. The woman didn't know how to respond for a while, but fortunately Jenkins just casually said that his attention is now on his cat.

　　 After a busy afternoon, I was a little tired of waiting for chocolate. It was now lying on Jenkins' shoulders and wagging its tail, not knowing what it was thinking about.

　　 "What important things can chocolate think about? Ha, I'm probably looking forward to dinner tonight."

　　 he guessed like this.

　　 Even if Jenkins didn't continue to talk about [Healing Breath], Miss Bevana still felt it necessary to find an excuse to change the subject. It is not a good opportunity. Neither Robert Williams nor the father nor the church believes that it is time to tell Jenkins the truth.

　　 The two returned to the ground along the steps, turned around and closed the trapdoor, and walked out of the room disguised as a study. I greeted the young janitor and walked out of the building to the outdoors. Now the sun is setting, and the bleak sunlight is shining on the church spire and the metal pipes of the wall, reflecting some dazzling and very dazzling golden light.

　　Only some children in teaching gowns were playing near the east side in the courtyard. Jenkins did not see Fini in it. She was probably studying and literate.

　　 "I remember now, I have already investigated some eyebrows about [the player]."

　　 Miss Bevanna finally found a suitable topic, which is really good. For whatever reason, now Jenkins has forgotten the [Healing Breath] thing.

　　 "The church has found a believer in the **** of music?"

　　 He wondered in his mind how many Hathaway's churchmates were in Nolan City.

"No, we didn’t find any believers in the **** of music, but Berdyran sent some remaining materials. What is certain is that [the performer (white foundation)] has an extraordinary function, which is a very special kind. The ability to increase the spirit of the holder..."

　　 Jenkins knew this, and when he mentioned it, he thought of what happened in the restaurant that morning.

"The Holy See's information also shows that [Players] is one of the components of a series of chain abilities. From this ability, dozens of different chains can be extended. For example, the [Hypnosis Master] chain that is biased towards the direction of music control, is biased towards sound waves. The [Song of Destruction] chain in the attack direction constitutes the [Stage] chain of mystery..."

　　 Even though the type belongs to the white foundation, it is indeed a rather complicated ability. On the way back to the office, Miss Bevanna said many things that even Hathaway didn't know, which allowed Jenkins to further understand the value of [the player].

　　 So he asked Miss Bevanna for advice, wanting to know if he had to keep it, and the woman's answer was quite similar to that of the old man:

　　 "[The player] does not learn by you, but after some accidents, it belongs to you. This is an arrangement of fate, and it is better to keep it for a while before you know why fate wants to do this."

　　 Mentioned this matter, Jenkins finally remembered something about [Books of Blessing]. While waiting for Miss Bevana to open the office door, he also indicated that he would apply for the ability to learn this magical skill. Of course, Miss Bevana would not disagree.

　　Because of the strong ability of divine art to learn, the church needs to arrange suitable participants and locations, so after a simple calculation, it will be arranged in the second half of this month, and the third baptism will be carried out together, which will be easier.

Behind Miss Bevana’s desk is a bookcase that covers the entire wall. Jenkins has never seen Miss Bevana take books from there before, but this time the files are drawn from the third floor from the bottom. .

"More detailed investigations are still going on, but there is reason to believe that all of your judgments are correct. The residents of that building and the owner of the apartment have suffered accidents because of the strange situation in the second floor of the second floor. The only thing we don’t know now is why the serial killer who lives in room two is not affected. The man has now been transferred to a'special' detention center in the suburbs. I think there will be news soon."

　　 "No, I still have questions."

　　 Jenkins asked questions while sitting on the sofa looking down at the documents. The black and white photos in the paper perfectly reproduced the situation in the apartment, as if to take Jenkins back to that hapless afternoon.

Section 789 Chapter 773 Prophecy of the Dead (5/10)

　　 "The boy from Leviathan's house in Fan 1 is the boy who painted those weird pictures. How did he die?"

　　 "Sorry."

　　 Ms. Bevanna shook her head:

"The corpses hidden in the closet were all processed by the metamorphosis of the last room. Now, even the most sophisticated coroner can't find the specific cause of death, but... look at that one. Is there a small cloth bag in the file bag?"

"Let me see......"

　　 Jenkins drove the sniffing cat aside, then turned the bag upside down and shook it. The gray knitted cloth bag fell out.

　　 It's not the size of Jenkins's palm, and it doesn't feel heavy after being picked up.

　　 "The contents of the bag were found in the boy's stomach during the autopsy. Fortunately, it was not destroyed by gastric juice. We originally thought this was the cause of the strange paintings, but after the inspection, it was just ordinary things."

　　 "In...in the stomach?"

　　 Jenkins stretched out his finger to Chocolate's stomach in surprise, and the latter screamed unhappy.

　　 "Yes, to be more precise, it's in the middle and lower part of the stomach, in a magical position."

　　 Miss Bevanna also pointed to her body to point out the position for Jenkins.

　　 Inside the cloth bag is a slender metal strip, very thin, showing a golden luster. The esophagus was scratched in the autopsy result, which is probably the ghost of this thing. It has extremely fine engraving on both sides, which should not be a pattern, but like an energy circuit or a circuit diagram in Jenkin's memory.

"what is this?"

　　 He held this thing at the gas lamp on the wall, but found nothing.

　　 "The only discovery from the post-mortem was that the boy was one step short of embarking on a truly extraordinary path. Maybe the appearance of the treacherous scene inspired his talent, maybe it was just accident. But we may never know the real reason."

　　 The woman tapped her finger on the tabletop and added:

"Combined with those transformations, we speculate that he has a talent for divination. Those words and this piece of metal should be the result of his divination. As for why he was swallowed... sorry, we don't know. "

　　 The metal strip in the soft glue has been tested, and it is copper of low purity, mixed with some silver and tin, and the material is the same as a damaged metal decoration in the first room. And those nicks like circuit diagrams were actually the characters engraved by the boy, but Jenkins didn't recognize them because the characters were too ugly.

　　 [The war between life and death, the winner is...]

　　 This is the meaning of those words, but even if it is interpreted, the church does not know what the boy wants to express. Jenkins held the thing facing the indoor lights and looked at it for a long time, as if he could see the boy trying to swallow it before he died.

　　 "Are you going to take it away?"

　　 Seeing that Jenkins is interested, Miss Bevanna suggested.

　　 "Huh? Oh, no, I don't want to take it away."

　　 Jenkins shook his head, glanced at the pattern one last time, and then put it back in the cloth bag securely:

　　 "After all, I don't want to cause trouble anymore."

　　 (Chocolate is running...)

　　 Tonight is astronomy...During the divination course, Miss Audrey was waiting for Jenkins in an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city. It was a two-story building that stood abruptly in the farmland, but judging from the rough architectural style, it should have been built by the villagers themselves.

　　Because I came out after having dinner in the church, the full chocolate showed a drowsy feeling of laziness. It fell asleep on the carriage, and was sleeping peacefully inside the coat.

　　 From the snow-covered country road into the barren farmland, it is still winter, and there is nothing in these fields. But it was still not easy to walk. Snow covered the bumps on the ground, and Jenkins had to be careful not to fall.

　　 He didn't quite understand why the fortune-telling course was given here, but since Miss Audrey chose this place, there must be a reason for her choice.

　　 The door of the dilapidated building is not closed. In fact, due to the deformation of the door frame, the door may not be able to be closed at all. The inside of the house was cold and terrible, with dust and cobwebs everywhere. Jenkins stood at the door hesitating for a while, and only dared to walk inward after confirming that the benefactor on the second floor was indeed Miss Audrey.

　　 After passing through the entrance hall and the living room, there are stairs, but the thing seems to be made of wood and iron nails. The woodworking job of the maker must be very bad, Jenkins thinks that half of the pedals are tilted.

　　 finally came to the second floor and happened to see Miss Audrey standing at the window closed with wooden boards to blow the air. There are gaps between the wooden boards, and the scenery of the snowy field outside can be seen.

　　 Unlike the first floor, which is divided into different rooms, there is no decorative wall on the second floor. Except for a few lonely load-bearing walls, here is a huge bedroom.

　　 is a bedroom because the only thing left is a tent bed except for dust, cobwebs, rusty steam pipes, and feces of unknown birds.

　　The white gauze tent is only the part near the top of the bracket, showing a dark yellow oxidation state. In the center is a suspicious smudge of complex color, which Jenkins thinks is blood.

　　 "It's strange that the people who live here have money to buy yarn tents."

　　 Jenkins talked and walked to Miss Audrey's side. The woman wore a thick dark red dress today with a lot of lace trimmings. Seeing Miss Audrey didn't speak, she looked at her face, and was startled by the movement of her eyes turning white.

　　 "Oh, this is divination."

　　 Jenkins suddenly realized that in this state, the fortune-teller can use "another horizon" to observe the future, which is a relatively smart way of divination. Ordinary fortune-tellers also like to imitate this behavior, but it will only hurt their own eyes.

　　 "Guess what I saw?"

　　 This strange state soon disappeared. Maybe it was because of the contrast with the white eyes just now, when the woman's eyes were unusually bright.

　　 "Is this the practice content of this course?"

　　 Jenkins asked.

　　 "No, just let you guess."

"Ok......"

　　 Jenkins raised his eyes and looked around:
