Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

On the weathered plaque, only a line of blood-colored text wrote the only four-word rule.

"Keep out the living!"

However, just this line of text conveys a frightening meaning.

The ghost ship stopped on the rocks on the shore.

The sailors untied the chains and used them as a chain bridge to connect to the ground. Those who are agile can slide directly down the ropeway.

In the middle of the jagged rocks, there is a plank road leading directly to the island, spanning to the dark door at the end.

From a distance, the door looks like a huge mouth of an abyss, as if it wants to swallow food.

Everyone came to the entrance of the trestle.

Just look down and you can see the bloody words written on the plaque next to it.

These are the rules of that island.

Its name is Skeleton Village. Seeing this title makes people feel that it is not a good sign.

Ajiaka controlled the strong wind and dragged several players to the vicinity of the plaque.

The morning light had just landed and stood firm, his clear eyes fell on the plaque, his two eyebrows immediately frowned, and he said in a deep voice:

"Do not allow the living to enter... Doesn't that mean that as long as we enter that village, the taboo will be triggered?"

"Yes." Ajiaka nodded slowly, "It is said that the island where the Dragon God Festival is held is an island that does not belong to the living. Only witches who have been given the key can go there."

"Since ancient times, if our Poseidon clan needs to hold a festival, it will always be the witch who comes forward. Just like today, the descendants of Poseidon are responsible for driving the ghost ship and escorting the witch to the destination."

"There were once a few disobedient children of Poseidon who secretly went to that village while the witches were going to offer sacrifices."

"result……"

"They were left there forever!"

The last sentence gave off a hint of horror.

Chen Xi, Matthew and others looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect that the village holding the Dragon God Festival would be so scary!

There is only one rule -

"Keep out the living!"

However, just such a rule is enough to dissuade most comers.

Matthew frowned and said, "Then if we go in... wouldn't we stay there forever?"

This is puzzling.

Since the rule is "No entry for the living", do they have to use their lives to fill it?

Ajiaka sighed and said: "In fact, our Poseidon clan has not held a dragon god sacrifice for three hundred years... The generation of witches also started three hundred years ago. Regarding the rules of this island, there are only The legend is left behind, but in fact we don’t know that this place is forbidden to the living.”

Everyone fell into silence.

But then, Ajiaka solemnly said with a look of determination: "But even with this taboo rule, in order to make up for the mistakes made by my clan, I am willing to go to the island in person, even if I never come back..."

"That's right!"

"We are willing to go there too!"

"As the Poseidon clan, with the blood of Poseidon flowing through it, we will be responsible for everything we do."

The surrounding heirs of Poseidon had firm eyes, as if they had already made up their minds.

From the moment they were willing to embark on this dangerous voyage, they had already made the intention to never go back.

The fighting blood of the Poseidon flows and will not shrink from the fear of death.

But at this moment, the bishop in white beside him frowned and said:

"Sorry, the mission given to us by the Holy Religion is only to protect this part of the journey and provide assistance."

"The church is still at a critical moment of life and death. We need to retain this power and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Saint."

"I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

Another voice from the Lieyang Church caused differences among everyone present.

Obviously, the bishop in white did not intend to go in and die.

In addition to solving pollution, they also prioritize protecting the Virgin Mary.

Naturally, it was impossible to bring the Saint into such a dangerous restricted area.

Chen Xi also fell into silence.

If this rule is indeed that no living person should enter, then if you enter it, you will bear a great risk of death.

As a player, you need to prioritize your own survival.

"You people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you want to go back, then go back by yourself!" A tall and thin Poseidon sneered, "However, without us controlling the ghost ship, I don't know if you can go back! "

"You are despising the church! You are despising the authority of the Lord!"

The purple-robed bishop's face turned cold and he stepped forward, exuding a sense of oppression.

Faced with this coercion, the children of Poseidon, armed with spears and swords, charged forward menacingly, their swords at war with each other.

Those descendants of Poseidon are not even afraid of death. They have been fighting even more terrifying deep-sea monsters all the way. How can they be afraid of a little bishop?

The two waves of anger come from different forces, fighting against each other and refusing to give in to each other.

"Okay." Chen Ye's voice suddenly broke the deadlock and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to go in. For this operation, it is enough for me to go in."

"Young man, are you sure you can go in alone?" Ajiaka spoke with worry and doubt.

"That's right." Chen Ye nodded, "Based on the legend of your witch, we can probably infer that it's not that the living are not allowed to enter, but that a ticket is required."

"Miko, holds the key to the two worlds, and this is one of the tickets."

"You don't have tickets. Once you go in, I may not be able to take you out, and I might get in the way."

"But I have the key. It's enough to leave this operation to me. You can go back."

In fact, Chen Ye observed the island with the eye of luck.

Suspended in the halo of luck around him, the golden star became brighter and brighter, getting closer and closer.

At this moment, the golden stars formed a long bridge made of golden steel, which seemed to be connected to this plank road, leading to the dark gate of Shengsui Village.

Directly above the island, there was an endless black whirlpool surrounding it. The black mist sprayed out and covered the people around it, as if it was about to engulf them.

But only when it fell on him, the golden star burst out with light, dispersing the black fog, leaving a glimmer of hope.

After listening to Agarka’s legend about the Dragon God Festival...

Chen Ye can be sure that only he can enter and exit this island through the key to the spirit world.

If other beings go here, they may not be able to help themselves. Judging from the luck halo, they may also cause unnecessary trouble.

Chen Xi frowned and said with a worried look on his face: "Then we've all left. How are you going to come out then?"

Without the ghost ship, could Chen Ye really get out of such a large sea of ​​dead bodies with his own strength?

Even if the other party holds the key to the spiritual world...

But walking such a long distance is probably not an easy task, right?

Chen Ye smiled and said: "I don't know either, but maybe if I can destroy the things inside and get the divine authority, there will be a chance of survival."

Chen Xi's eyes moved when he heard 'divine authority'.

For a moment...

She wanted to find a reason to go in with Chen Ye.

However, when this idea just emerged in my mind, a cold feeling suddenly came from my spine, as if I was about to fall into the river of death!

"This feeling..." Chen Xi was shocked.

After practicing, my own astral body's perception ability has been enhanced.

The sixth sense is much stronger than ordinary beings, and it will have a natural perception of death and crisis.

Similar to the aborigines, they have a natural instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but it is more obvious and proactive.

At this moment, the clergy members of the Burning Sun Church, including the white-clothed bishop, were unwilling to step into the corpse village because they were concerned about the danger they instinctively sensed.

If you go in, you will never come out!

Chen Xi's biggest reliance was actually the protection of the white-clothed bishop beside him.

But even the bishop in white was not sure that he could come out alive. After entering, it was impossible to rely on Chen Ye to bring him out.

What's more, as the first on the governance list, she has a certain degree of competition for the 'divine authority'.

Chen Ye is also a player. Although they are now cooperating with each other, the competitive relationship has always existed.

Chen Xi entered as a player, obviously wanting to compete for the opportunity, so how could Chen Ye get what she wanted?

You know, the key to traveling between the two worlds is in Chen Ye's hands.

If you follow the opponent in, the initiative is completely in the hands of other players. For players, letting their lives be controlled by other players is the biggest taboo.

No matter how familiar the other party is, even the closest and most trusted person, they cannot do this.

This is the principle of being a player.

In fact...

When Chen Ye said the words 'divine authority', it was already a kind reminder to persuade Chen Xi to retreat.

If you want to keep up, you must have the idea of ​​death.

Many possibilities came to Chen Xi's mind, but in the end they were all rejected one by one. In the end, she just sighed and said:

"All right……"

The eyes of the other children of Poseidon fell on Ajiaka invariably, as if they were asking with their eyes.

Ajiaka glanced at Chen Ye and sighed:

"You're right, let's go."

The mighty descendants of Poseidon returned to the ghost ship from the iron rope above.

At the helm of the ship, Ajeef put his hands on the steering wheel again, and his eyes fell on his father in confusion:

"Father, are we really not going in? What if that young man can't solve the festival? Then wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

Ajiaka shook his head and said: "No... you are wrong."

"Since ancient times, the Dragon God Festival has been something that only shrine maidens can take charge of. We can only assist at most."

"That young man holds the key. If he can't do it, then neither can we."

"If we go in with the belief that we will die, the most we can do is assist the other party, but this is only the most ideal situation. In fact, not only may we not be able to help, but we may also cause trouble."

"Moreover, our Poseidon clan suffered such a heavy blow last time and lost a clan leader. We cannot allow more children to die for the sake of the entire Poseidon clan."

"My child, sometimes you can't face the world with only fire, but also with wisdom, strategy, and enough calmness..."

…………

Near the trestle.

Everyone had left, only the bishop in white was still standing behind Chen Ye.

"Aren't you getting on the ship yet?" Chen Ye said with a smile, "I have stopped playing. If it lasts for two or three minutes at most, the ghost ship will automatically fall back to the living world and exit the sea of ​​dead bodies."

The bishop in white took out a wooden box and said slowly:

"The Holy Spirit told me something before he left."

"If you can come to the door of that village, and you choose to go alone, then I will give this item to you."

"Now is the time to fulfill what the Holy Scriptures say."

Chen Ye took the wooden box and opened it to take a look.

I saw a silver dagger, glowing faintly, with a unique blade structure, similar to the shape of lightning.

"Holy Mercury?"

Chen Ye's eyes fell on this dagger and he couldn't help being surprised:

"This is one of the most precious sacred relics of the Lieyang Church. Just leave it to me."

According to legend, the dagger of sacred mercury can undo all curses in the world. Even a gigantic ghost array composed of hundreds of millions of sacrificed creatures can be destroyed with a single blow.

"It is indeed the most precious." The white-clothed bishop smiled, "But it is just a fake. Although it is also very precious, it is not that precious and can only be used once."

"That's it." Chen Ye smiled bitterly.

Also, how could the Liyang Church, which has always been stingy, give away the real [Holy Mercury] to others at will?

But it has to be said that because of their stingy character, they have strong research and development capabilities and are able to create many fakes.

This way, you won't be so stingy and can be a little more generous... when giving away fakes!

The bishop in white left and boarded the ghost ship with the mighty army, turning into a mirage-like shadow, gradually dissolving, and returned to the real world.

Only Chen Ye was left, standing alone on the trestle. Looking up, he could see the gate of the dead body village that said "No strangers should enter". Looking back, he saw a vast sea of ​​dead bodies, with no exit, no end, and no way out. …

The corners of Chen Ye's mouth raised slightly and he murmured:

"The real strategy begins!"
