Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

"Dead...dead?"

Everyone looked at Northrend's disappearing head, the blood gushing all over the ground, and the clown pattern that reappeared, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

The thread was interrupted again.

Unexpectedly, Northrend's death would come so suddenly and without warning.

Even before the information was revealed, something unexpected happened.

Chen Ye, Chen Xi and Bai Chen maintained calm expressions on their faces, as if they had anticipated this scene.

In the game "Strange Era", there have been some features that can restrict the subordinates from saying forbidden content.

However, the blood splattered when Northrend died gathered into a clown pattern, which seemed to indicate that the mastermind behind the scenes had obviously anticipated today's situation.

The real enemy is not known yet, but the unknown mysterious existence has quietly blended into the group of players, lurking in the deepest part, quietly staring at everyone.

Player? Aboriginal people? Or is it an extraordinary existence?

No one knows the answer…

In the silence, Bai Chen spoke first, breaking the silence:

"Well, I didn't have any expectations. Look at this guy's unwillingness to speak. Obviously, even if he does speak, it will be of no use."

"What should we do now?" Matthew frowned, "Are there perverted villains among the players who take pleasure in destroying other players?"

Bai Chen smiled and asked:

"Do you think today's players can really gain this level of power with just this little time to develop?"

Matthew was stunned for a moment, then his eyes dropped, and he fell into deep thinking.

Chen Xi took a deep breath, looked at Bai Chen and said:

"At this point, if you know something, don't hide it."

"This matter is not trivial. I am afraid it has affected the life and death of all our players!"

"What other information do you know?"

Bai Chen smiled, with his right hand wearing a white glove, his index finger pointed at the second rule on the sign.

"Exchanging information?" Chen Xi's eyes moved slightly, "What do you want to know?"

""Chapter Thirteen of Soul Crossing"." Bai Chen said.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xi and Chen Ye raised their heads at the same time and looked at Bai Chen.

Why is this guy... also interested in "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing"?

At this moment, the old man Erhu said quietly from the side:

"Actually, even if a person dies, they may not be unable to speak... For example, the scroll that the boss just snatched has the ability to make the dead speak."

"So, even if the guy is dead, if you can get the power from it, you may not be able to make the dead person speak and tell relevant information."

"It's just...it's said that this is the last piece of music that has never been played before, so it has this ability."

The moment the old man Erhu finished speaking...

Everyone present turned their heads almost at the same time, including the players and the group of clergy members of the Burning Sun Church.

"How did you know?"

The priest suddenly stood up, stared at the old man Erhu, and asked hoarsely.

There seems to be no record of this figure in the church...

However, "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing" is the core of the church, and the scroll of the final chapter involves deep secrets.

Let alone a sacrifice, even if you reach the level of a bishop, you may not be able to know the hidden secrets.

This old man who came from nowhere on the roadside actually casually revealed the top secret of the Lieyang Church?

What's the origin?

The old man Erhu looked like an old god was here, and his tone was a little innocent:

"Oh, young man, why are you so excited?"

"Old man, I have lived a long time and wandered a lot, so naturally I have a little more knowledge."

"Is it strange to know this?"

Chen Xi couldn't help but show a strange look. In fact, the "young man" mentioned by the old man Erhu was already a priest who was over two hundred years old.

In the normal world before the advent, turtles might not live that long, and they were considered a living fossil in the church.

But when it came to the mouth of the old man Erhu, he actually became a "young man"?

For some reason, when the old man Erhu started to speak, Chen Fang glanced at Bai Chen and found that the other person's casual look had calmed down, and he had obviously become more focused.

He saw the white-gloved hands, which were originally folded across the chest, now inserted into the pockets.

Still seemed to be shaking slightly.

After a while.

Bai Chen smiled, took out the scroll of "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing" from his pocket, and placed it in front of Chen Xi:

"Actually, I'm only interested in the case itself. As for this thing being something from your Burning Sun Church, it's of no use to me."

"but……"

"I've been interrogating you for so long, so of course I can't do it in vain."

"In exchange, I need a low-sequence property item from the [Fire Sun] sequence, as well as information about "The Thirteenth Chapter of Soul Crossing"."

"Don't get me wrong, I need this information, it's just some speculation."

A Guangming priest couldn't stand it at all and angrily shouted at Bai Chen:

"You devil, this sacred scroll belongs to our church..."

At this moment, a cold breath suddenly enveloped the priest.

The ground beneath his feet was suddenly covered in black shadows.

The surrounding lights dimmed, and the huge black shadow covered the entire cafe, like the shadow of a demon, slowly extending, projecting huge curtains on the walls and ground, dancing crazily.

Halfway through his words, the priest suddenly felt a sense of death crisis, and he swallowed the rest of the rebuke immediately. His face was covered with cold sweat, and he looked as if fate had been grabbed by the throat.

Bai Chen's indifferent eyes swept over the priest's body and said lightly:

"In my cafe, it's best to be quiet and not disturb other customers' normal drinking of coffee."

"That's polite!"

Chen Xi raised her hand to signal the priest to calm down, then her eyes fell on Bai Chen and said:

"I can agree to your terms."

After all, at this juncture, we are still facing a secret and unknown enemy.

It would not be a wise move to have a conflict with a player who is a leader in the rankings and may have secret information.

Especially now that everyone is still on each other's territory!

"You should learn from your saint."

Bai Chen raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and then withdrew the shadow.

"When your boss is negotiating, as a qualified subordinate, you should learn to shut up!"

The priest slumped on the ground, his body trembling slightly, and he did not dare to say another word.

soon.

Chen Xi handed over a silver holy sword.

This is the special item dropped by the [Light Warriors] when they died in the dungeon of the Scarlet Building not long ago.

Warriors and priests of the light sequence are all first-class professions. The characteristic items dropped from them are mass-produced items in the Church of the Sun, and their value is not very high.

What Bai Chen needs is just a low-characteristic item in the [Fire Sun] sequence.

These silver swords and Bible books were originally required to be handed over to the Lieyang Church, but Chenxi, as the main leader of this battle, has the status of a saint and has certain rights over the disposal of these special items.

Subsequently.

Chen Xi recalled the knowledge about "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing", organized some language in her mind, and started to talk:

"Originally, "The Thirteen Chapters of Soul Escape" only had twelve chapters. It is said that it was the 'Spirit Chapter' created by Fores. He adapted the Bible of Escape from the World into art music and produced twelve different scores. , passed down to this day.”

"The Art Department's [Fire Sun] sequence can use the music score left by Fores and play it with different instruments to communicate with our Lord and obtain the power of the [Fire Sun] gift."

"But the last legendary bishop, Von Lucius, modified the 'Chapter of the Spirit' during a disaster in the Sun Church and added the final thirteenth chapter."

"The main theme of the original twelve chapters has also been modified, and it seems to have gained an unknown, mysterious, and transcendent power!"

"With the help of this power, the Church of the Burning Sun successfully survived that disaster, and Lucius became the most outstanding bishop in hundreds of years."

"From then on, he revised the 'Spirit Chapter' to the 'Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing'."

"It's just...Chapter 13 seems to contain a transcendent, uncontrollable force."

"During Lucius's tenure, any church member is prohibited from rashly accessing the contents of the final chapter."

"After his death, several bishops tried to access the power of it and perform it."

"result……"

"They are all crazy!"

Having said this, the priest standing behind Chen Xi said coldly:

"Devil, I advise you to stay away from this power. As it is a dangerous item that the Sun Church has not yet controlled, if you come into contact with it rashly, you will only play with fire and burn yourself."

"I'm so scared!"

Bai Chen exclaimed a little exaggeratedly, took out the scroll and threw it to Chen Xi:

"Since this thing is so dangerous, I'll give it back to you."

"Okay, it's my turn to reveal some information."

"Gentlemen and ladies, please listen carefully. Do you think there are too many coincidences in this city, and the sense of déjà vu that often occurs during the performance?"

Deja vu?

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ye, Chen Xi, Matthew and other players all lowered their heads in thought.

To be honest, after coming into this world, I often feel a sense of déjà vu.

For example, the feeling of being digested when meeting certain people, or during the acting process...

There is an inexplicable sense of déjà vu!

It's like... this thing seems to have happened a long time ago.

"Play?"

Chen Ye closed his eyes and began to recall the scenes after his arrival.

Indeed, in every performance, the feeling of digestion is as if I have mastered the corresponding skills long ago and become suddenly handy.

But why do similar abilities appear?

This is not as simple as a characteristic, it is like using this power instinctively from the soul, as if it is innately familiar.

Chen Xi, Matthew and others also recalled the process of acting and nodded, expressing that they had similar feelings.

And there's...coincidence!

That's right.

There are indeed too many coincidences in this city.

Chen Ye found that the characteristic items he found seemed to be more or less effective.

otherwise……

That is, we will find out its hidden effects later.

Moreover, this coincidence didn't just happen to him. For example, when Northrend was escaping, he actually appeared at the door of Bai Chen's cafe.

This may not be a coincidence.

Including Chen Xi also said that when he was exploring, he seemed to easily encounter some pollution, thus exerting his purification ability.

It was as if there was a divine hand from the sky, turning into help and pushing everyone forward.

"What does the value of the weird value mean in reality?"

Chen Ye suddenly started thinking about this problem.

Originally, in general, the higher the value in a game, the stronger it would be.

But this is contrary to the core gameplay of "Strange Era".

After all, in the original gameplay, you collect characteristics to change professions. The higher the profession, the stronger the corresponding abilities.

At present, it seems that the weirdness value can increase the understanding and use skills of professional characteristics in the role, as well as increase certain characteristics, reaching the upper limit.

Here comes the strange place...

To put it in a simple way, the weird value can actually improve the player's operation?

Shouldn't the operation belong to the player? How can it improve with the game?

Even if it reaches the "upper limit", this is the ability that this characteristic should have.

At the beginning, Chen Ye thought this was the deepening influence of the weird value on the performance, but now, he gradually began to try to understand its true meaning.

"What else do you know?"

Chen Xi raised her head, looked at Bai Chen and asked seriously.

"No more." Bai Chen shrugged, "Like you, I have just come into this world, but I have thought a little more and investigated a little deeper. Don't treat me as an omniscient and omnipotent existence."

"It's a pity this guy can't talk."

Matthew glanced at Northrend's body with a hint of regret:

"If we can get specific information from him, it should be much simpler."

At this moment, a voice came from the side:

"Who says he can't talk?"

Everyone turned around and found that the person who said these words was the old man Erhu.

Matthew frowned: "But he is already dead. How can a dead man talk... Unless someone can pop up the final chapter."

"Haha, young man, you are right." The old man Erhu said with a smile, "Old man, I happen to still have some skills. Although I am old and my hands are rusty, there should not be a big problem in popping up the final chapter."

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and looked at the old man Erhu with eyes full of surprise, shock and deep disbelief.

"Are you kidding me!"

The priest of light stood up and laughed angrily.

Today, everyone is defying the authority of the church!

First, a [Devil] appeared on the way and snatched away the scrolls of the Holy Religion, and then an old man on the roadside came from nowhere and uttered wild words, saying that he could play the final chapter that would make even the bishop lose control...

Chen Xi looked at the old man Erhu in slight surprise, and then his eyes fell on Chen Ye...

Chen Ye stretched out his hand, looked at Chen Xi and said:

"According to the agreement, after completing this mission, I should be granted permission to read the final chapter."

"give it to me."

That tone was full of confidence.

To be more precise...

It seems that the top expert in front of him has full confidence in the mysterious master behind him!

Chen Xi pondered for a moment and realized that this might be the only chance to get closer to the truth!

All the fate seemed to be connected to the scene in front of me.

Then, Chen Xi had no doubt that the old man could play the final chapter.

She no longer hesitated and handed the "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing" she had just received from Bai Chen to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye held the scroll in his hand and slowly spread it out in front of him.

Although the notes in the previous twelve chapters are not complete, they are roughly the same as the notes seen in the public gallery of the church that day.

However……

Gradually turning to the page of the final chapter...

The ink symbols on it seemed to be twisting chaotically in the field of vision.

Even looking directly at it will make you feel dizzy, as if your self-awareness is slowly dissolving.

Any piece of music score constitutes a chaotic picture, like a black mosaic. It is difficult to see the specific position of the notes, the direction of the music score, and the rhythm and melody contained in it...

If you focus your attention and look again, you will feel like you are going crazy.

At this moment, the gentle voice of the old man Erhu came from next to him:

"Don't be so anxious. You need a strange drink to calm your mind and bring your body and mind to the best state so that you can perform a special performance."

Chen Ye's mind gradually separated from the chaotic music score.

From the words of the old man Erhu, he immediately realized what he needed to do.

The next second.

Chen Ye took out the mountain roll and took out the cup of [Bloody Mary] he had stored.

"oh!"

Bai Chen pointed at the drink in a pretentious manner and smiled proudly:

"Let me just say, I am the protagonist. Look, my items always come into play at the most critical moments!"

Chen Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly.

It seems that in front of him, more than one player said that he is the protagonist...

He took out the scarlet glass and saw that the lines of colored glass in the glass were connected to the "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing" in front of him, to the purple energy in the halo of the old man Erhu next to him, and to his own golden star.

It’s time to swallow this deadly drink!

Chen Ye no longer hesitated and immediately drank the [Bloody Mary] in the cup.

The moment the scarlet wine entered your mouth, a spicy feeling flowed down your throat, as if the entire esophagus, connected to the intestines and stomach, began to burn!

At that moment, Chen Ye felt his head was dizzy, and there seemed to be a maddening murmur in his ears, surrounding him in all directions, and a roar that was almost deafening...

The moment I open my eyes again...

In front of the field of vision, the ink mosaic covering the final volume of "Thirteen Soul Crossing Chapters" has disappeared!

On the score, the ink notes became clear one by one. You can see their position on the score, and you can see the direction of the melody...

That piece of music was not created for "people" at all. It seemed to be played specifically for the beings in heaven and for the undead in the underworld...

This piece of music is a piece of music custom-made for the "dead"!

The contours of the surrounding gray air masses no longer appear as vague garbled characters, but gradually become outlines of human faces, including men, women, old people, and children...

Their numb faces suddenly showed a hint of surprise. With Chen Ye and the old man Erhu as the center, they turned into gray whirlpools and surrounded them. They stood together in a circle, as if they were about to enjoy a concert. audience.

Chen Xi and others looked at each other, feeling that the temperature in the cafe had suddenly become a bit colder.

The corners of Bai Chen's mouth raised slightly:

"Next, it seems like a good show is about to begin!"

At this moment, Chen Ye took out the suona and the old man Erhu took out the erhu.

In the vortex storm composed of the souls of the dead, the master and the apprentice began to play the final chapter of this soul-transmitting song!
