When the window is opened, there is a sea breeze blowing, with a moist salty smell. Jin is sitting on the windowsill, humming a tune, her feet in leather boots are dangling outside, dyed with a layer of silvery white, which is gentler than hoarfrost and brighter than light. Cool.

"This world is really quiet and peaceful. I miss it a little bit."

She looked back, revealing one blue and one red eye, which looked extremely clear in the dim light.

Su Changxing also looked towards the seaside and could vaguely see the light of the lighthouse. He shook his head and said: "This world is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. After all, it is wrapped in white ice and phantom mist, and terrible disasters may happen at any time."

Shen Jinxuan sighed, showing regret: "That's a pity."

It's a pity that such peace will be broken, just like all good things will eventually wither.

Feeling the gentle fragrance, Su Changxing leaned against the window, playing with the ponytail of blue hair in his hand, and said softly: "This is probably the common sense in the world, and it is indeed a pity... Is your hair getting longer again? Already?"

"Ah, is there one?" Jin shook his head and looked curious, obviously he didn't even notice this.

Su Changxing looked outside and said, "Let's go for a walk and take a look at this city. Maybe we won't have the chance to come here in the future."

"Okay." After Jin said that, he jumped out of the window, startling the passers-by outside, and they all moved out of the way.

"What are you doing? You scared me!" A man who wrapped himself tightly was obviously frightened.

Jin made a face and said viciously: "None of your business!"

The man's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt bad. He turned around and ran away in a gray manner. He really felt bad when facing Jin, as if there were ants crawling on him, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Su Changxing walked out of the hotel and saw this scene, showing helplessness: "These people are ordinary people. It would be bad if you scared them to death."

Jin Digu: "So fragile."

Su Changxing took him along the street towards the church. It was a strange feeling to visit his own church. There should be no gods who would visit his own church.

Jin saw the statue at the top of the church from a distance, then glanced sideways at Su Changxing, with a thoughtful look on his face: "Is that you?"

Although it was completely different, she could recognize at a glance that the statue depicted Su Changxing.

Su Changxing nodded: "Yes."

Jin was not surprised by this, but said critically: "It's not similar at all."

There were not many people in the church. There was only one young female priest. When he saw Su Changxing and the others coming in, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Although there was a church of All Living Beings in this city, there were still too few believers.

"Do you two want to join us?" The female priest stepped forward and asked with a smile on her face, her attitude was quite calm.

Su Changxing shook his head: "No, we just came to take a look."

The female priest said sincerely: "Being a believer in the Lord will provide you with the protection of the Lord, both spiritually and physically."

Su Changxing nodded to show his understanding and said with a smile: "Do you have many believers in this city?"

"The number is not large." The female priest said with certainty: "When the light of the Lord shines on this land, there will be more and more believers."

Su Changxing looked at the statue of the god, but felt something strange. Part of his faith flowed to him, but the other part flowed to no one knows where, as if it was disappearing in the void.

Is someone blatantly stealing faith? Still in such a remote location.

The female priest added: "Even if you are not a believer, you can still pray to the statue to gain spiritual comfort."

Lord Jin looked at the female priest in surprise, "You want him to worship you!"

"Huh?" The female priest was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Jin meant.

Su Changxing patted Jin on the head: "Don't talk nonsense."

He didn't want to frighten the young priest. The gods should be high up and maintain a certain sense of mystery, rather than suddenly appearing in front of him or in the church.

The priest still didn't realize anything was wrong. It wasn't until Su Changxing and the others left that he subconsciously looked back at the statue behind him. His eyes widened as if he had realized something. He hurriedly ran out of the church, but Su Changxing could no longer be seen. figure.

"Probably not. How could the Lord come to such a remote place?" She muttered, convincing herself.

Su Changxing lit up the statue of the church with his faith and expanded the influence of the statue. After that, more believers should gradually emerge in the city.

What made him more concerned was that the guy who secretly stole Faith must be at least the fourth level to be able to use Faith. His strength would not be weak, and he was probably some kind of non-human existence.

Su Changxing and his wife walked around the downtown area of ​​the city. There were a lot of people, which also showed that the city's security was good. There were many vendors selling exotic gadgets from overseas, including bone armor, sea stones, and emerging products from Wodan. Technology creation.

Ever since Eric became famous in the empire, the Wodan Empire has been leading the world's technological development, possessing technology that is far ahead of other countries, including firearms, ships, trams and even aerospace craft.

It's just that the wind at sea is too strong, so aerostats still cannot replace ships and can only be used inland.

Other surrounding areas, especially the countries close to the Wodan Empire, also changed, with steam-powered ships and factories.

For a century, the Wodan Empire was like a core that drove the entire world around.

The prosperity and strength of the Wodan Empire is something that other countries can only look up to. Fortunately, Wodan has never had any intention of conquering the outside world, and the world has remained relatively peaceful.

Walking to a stall with various miscellaneous gadgets, Su Changxing saw an inconspicuous piece of bone armor at a glance. It was only half the size of a hand. It was mixed in the debris and a small part was exposed. It was a real piece of bone armor. The skeleton runes are engraved with rune patterns and possess magical power, but they are only fragments.

Su Changxing had also obtained a whole piece of bone runes before, and that thing is still in the pocket galaxy, but it doesn't play much role for him now, and its only function is to keep it as a souvenir.

Su Changxing looked at the stall owner who was wearing a mask and wrapped himself tightly, picked up the fragment of the skeleton rune, and asked:

"How much does this thing cost?"

The stall owner glanced at Su Changxing and said without hesitation: "One hundred rams, no bargaining!"

Su Changxing smiled slightly: "Isn't it a bit expensive? These are just worthless things made of scrap metal. I'm afraid no one will buy them if they are so expensive."

One hundred ram is certainly not expensive for real skeleton runes, but for some fake ones, it is extremely expensive. Almost everyone believes that this kind of bone armor will not be genuine, at least not here.

The stall owner continued: "How much I want to sell is my business. Whether to buy it or not is your business. If you say 100, it will be 100. No bargaining."

Su Changxing thought that this person might know that this thing was the Skeleton Rune, so he didn't bother with it too much, took out the money and said:

"One hundred rams, just one hundred rams, I want this."

The stall owner was surprised when he saw Su Changxing decisively taking out one hundred nam and handed it to him. He handed the skeleton rune to Su Changxing, then stood up, bowed, and whispered:

"Master Mage, can you come into the house with me? We have something important to discuss."

Sure enough, this thing is used for fishing.

In the hells outside Wodan, although mages are also heretics, they are not strictly controlled and exist secretly by default.

Su Changxing put away the bone rune in his hand and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, please tell me directly here. There is no need to be secretive."

The stall owner was greatly shocked. They kept such a low profile because they considered the illegality of the mage's identity, but they didn't expect that the other party didn't care about it at all.

You can obviously feel that there are many eyes around you looking this way.

The stall owner took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "I am selling this thing on behalf of our boss. There has been a supernatural incident in our factory recently. Many people have died. We need a mage to remove the spirits, but we want to find one." It’s difficult to be a real mage, so I thought of this method.”

black

supernatural event?

Su Changxing showed a hint of interest. It is not easy to have supernatural events happen in this world. Extraordinary power has been suppressed. If you want to make some noise, your strength will not be low.

"It happens that nothing happens, let's go and take a look."

The stall owner also did not expect that Su Changxing would be so easy to persuade and was prepared to make generous terms, so he quickly said:

"Our boss said that as long as the mage can help to remove the spirit, he can pay a big price."

Shen Jinxuan asked seriously: "How many do you mean specifically?"

The stall owner thought for a while and said: "Our boss said that as long as the spirit removal is completed, you can pay three thousand ram. Of course, if the mage wants to settle the property here, it is also possible."

Su Changxing didn't care much about this and urged: "Let's go and see what the situation is and where your factory is."

The stall owner took off his mask, revealing a young face with rough and dark skin: "My name is Hierro, and the factory is by the sea."

"Since a few weeks ago, people have died in the factory due to various reasons, and the factory has been completely shut down. All equipment has been shut down, but some people still heard the sound of engines coming from inside at night."

Speaking of this, Hiero couldn't help but show fear.

Su Changxing asked: "Is there anyone in the factory now?"

Hierro shook his head: "No, it was sealed off a few weeks ago and no one is allowed to enter. However, there are still some disappearances happening around. I don't know if it is related to the factory."

Su Changxing nodded: "Didn't you find other mages before?"

Hierro sighed: "Why is it so easy to find? Sir, you are the first mage we have found. Our place is too remote, and probably no mage is willing to come."

Su Changxing added: "Isn't there a church of the All Living Beings Sect here? Have you ever looked for them?"

Hierro nodded: "Of course I have. At the beginning, our boss found the priest of the church, but he didn't find anything after he came here and said everything was normal here."

"But we all know there must be something wrong in the factory, otherwise so many people wouldn't have died."

Along the path of dense bushes, they arrived near the factory. The walls outside the factory were covered with moss, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.

Shen Jinxuan looked at this scene and said, "This factory has been around for a long time. The walls are covered with moss and ivy."

Hierro smiled bitterly: "No, it was built less than a year ago. This is also one of the supernatural events in the factory."

"It looks like an abandoned factory that has been standing for a long time. In fact, it was built not long ago. Our boss also lost a lot of money because of it. This is also a small matter. The main reason is that people keep dying because of it. Although not many people know about it, it is still It caused a lot of panic.”

Those who can open a factory in a city are not ordinary people. They must be at least a noble and have enough money to support them.

Su Changxing was also able to guess who the boss behind Hierro was, Count Mel, who was powerful in the country and controlled a navy.

It shouldn't be difficult for such a person to find a mage to remove the spirit, and it won't take so long.

Su Changxing thought that a mage had already seen it before coming here, so there might have been some accident.

There are people guarding the entrance of the factory to prevent anyone from entering. They are equipped with the highest standard weapons, long-barreled muskets and machetes.

Among them, the man with short brown hair saw Hierro and recognized him, so he asked, "Who are these two?"

Hierro waved his hand and said calmly: "They are the mages who came to remove spirits. Open the door."

The gatekeeper had a strange look on his face, and without saying anything, he took out the key and opened the iron lock on the door.

With the sound of chains colliding, the door was slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards.

The sound of engine rotation and steam injection came from inside, as if the entire factory was still running, but it was dark inside and there was no one around.

Su Changxing's perception covered the entire factory, but he didn't notice anything, as if this was an ordinary, abandoned factory.

At the same time, the sounds that could be heard were obviously not normal.

A nervous look appeared on Hierro's face, and he slowed down and followed Su Changxing. "Master Mage, take a look at what that thing is? Where is it?"

Su Changxing looked around and said relaxedly: "Didn't you say that someone died before? How did they die?"

Hierro's expression became more nervous and he hesitated: "No... I don't know."

As soon as he walked into the inner room of the factory, he saw several corpses hanging on the roof, with black blood dripping down, and the whole room was filled with the smell of blood.

Stupid and confused...

Jin put his hands on his chest, looked at Hierro and said, "There are so many corpses here, why don't you clean them up?"

The words are not finished yet.

Hierro turned around and strode outside, his breathing becoming rapid: "Master Mage, it's inside, it's inside."

He was only halfway through when he was shot through by Jin and fell to the ground, "Why are you running? Are you doing something wrong?"

Hierro looked horrified, as if he had seen a ghost: "No! No!"

Su Changxing carefully observed the environment in the factory. Several corpses were relatively fresh. They seemed to have died recently, but their flesh and blood were dry.

These were probably so-called mages, or players, during their lives.

Immediately afterwards, he saw an illusory, colorful shadow shooting down at him from directly above, encircling the wind and waves with a roaring sound.

Su Changxing caught the illusory shadow with one hand and smelled the stench, which was a pile of rotten flesh and blood that had been ravaged together.

Bang ~

He pulled out his gun, blew it up, and saw the illusory shadow shrinking back into the depths of the factory, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"what?"

Su Changxing frowned, realizing that this thing might not be simple. He thought of the divine limbs he saw in Melun, which were similar things. They were somewhere between reality and reality, and ordinary methods couldn't deal with them at all.

Jin raised Hierro with one hand and asked: "Why did you lie to us? These people were all killed after being tricked by you?"

Hierro's face was full of panic: "No, no, the boss asked me to do this, and there is nothing I can do about it."
