Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life
Chapter 370: The Gambling Agreement Takes Effect
It was past midnight when we returned to the church, and the monsters in the night had already evolved to the second stage.
Cheng Shen didn't go out to waste time and risk hunting.
He sacrificed the previously saved hunting points to the Intangible and received some experience rewards.
But there is still a long way to go before raising the protection level to level three.
Wait until dawn.
He immediately returned to the clinic.
The clinic, which usually opened early at dawn, was still closed, and Cheng Shen had already anticipated the scene.
Push through the crowd.
Push the door open and enter.
Facing him was a figure lying on the ground, looking like he was crawling out. His gray temples contrasted with his dark face. Griffin was bleeding from all his orifices. He died in a miserable state, and his body had become cold and stiff.
There was silence in the clinic, which was originally filled with wailing.
"It's so miserable."
Cheng Shen bent down and took off a ring from his hand.
[Obtain: Dean’s Ring!]
…
This is a ring with special effects, and its only function is to exercise the power of the dean.
After Cheng Shen wears it on his hand, his professional title automatically becomes:
Acting Dean.
The power of the acting abbot is very limited. He can only send notices to the Holy Academy and cannot decide anything.
For example, he can now report the situation in the clinic to the Holy Court.
But there's no rush yet.
It will take time for Covey to become the new deacon of the Holy House.
Before that, he had not been able to interfere with the appointment decision of the Holy Academy. If a new dean was sent to him, wouldn't he be making a wedding dress for others?
"Covey's power can only affect one thing now..."
Cheng Shen thought to himself.
He walked straight through the long corridor strewn with corpses to the second floor. In front of Nader's room door, the black poisonous doctor was sleeping and snoring like a dead pig.
He is an important part of Mog's plan, so naturally he will not be killed by his poison. However, his survival has nothing to do with it. If it weren't for the bet that required him to be alive to take effect, he would never have survived last night...
He waved his hand to remove the phantom formation at the door.
Cheng Shen pushed the door open and entered the house.
Balufo and Yousefka, who were guarding Nader, were immediately awakened by the sound. The former immediately cried out: "Sir, you are finally back!"
"Why are you crying? You are still alive."
Cheng Shen glanced at the patient.
In good condition.
He did not use the light magic, which had a heavy legacy, but chose the softer water therapy to stabilize his injuries. Together with the ointment, which was originally made from magic materials, it was easy to revive an ordinary person.
After changing his medicine again, he can even be discharged from the hospital and go home to be raised.
"The poisonous doctor was hanging around the door last night. He wanted to kill Nader! You don't know how thrilling the scene was!"
Balufo exaggerated.
"Thrilling?" Cheng Shen raised his eyes slightly, "There are more exciting scenes waiting for you outside, but before you walk out of this ward, I need you to make a vicious oath and promise that you will never betray me in the future."
He has a way to control two people that is a hundred times more convenient than taking an oath.
But in that case, he would only subdue the two of them forcefully, and he would not be able to make them completely return to their hearts.
After he becomes the dean, he will inevitably reveal some of his own abilities. He needs two people who can keep his secrets from the bottom of their hearts, instead of turning around and trying to sell him to the Holy Academy.
certainly.
Necessary insurance measures must still be in place...
"In the name of God, I will never betray you!" Balufo said decisively. He had no choice but to hesitate. When he blocked his future and even risked his life to help Cheng Shen refute the black poisonous doctor, he had no choice.
.
"As long as you don't let me do anything against my will, I am willing to follow you forever."
Yousefka added a condition.
"Can."
Cheng Shen quietly planted soul seeds in the two people's bodies, and then opened the door, "The clinic will be closed today. You two go and clean up the bodies. Remember, no matter what you see, don't talk too much."
"The clinic is closed?"
The two were confused.
This didn't seem to be something Cheng Shen could decide? It wasn't until the two of them knew what happened in the clinic that they fully understood what he said.
Snap!
The big mouth was spitting on Hei Du's face one after another, and he slowly woke up in pain, "Hiss...which bastard dares to hit..."
The voice stopped.
When Heidu saw Cheng Shen standing in front of him and looking down at him, his eyes showed uneasiness. He said harshly: "How dare you hit me! If you disrespect your seniors, I will immediately report to the Holy Academy to revoke your professional evaluation!"
"It used to be possible."
Cheng Shen said.
"But now I'm afraid you can't continue to help the tiger."
"What do you mean?" The first thing that Hei Du thought of was that he had lost the bet and his performance would be wiped out.
As for Moge's death, he simply couldn't think of it.
Cheng Shen said calmly: "Deacon Moge is your brother. In order for you to win the position of president of this clinic, he cruelly poisoned Dean Griffin, the dentist, the cardiologist, and everyone in the clinic to death."
.
I was lucky enough to escape the disaster because I worked the day shift, otherwise no one would have been able to shake this tragedy out."
"Poisoned everyone!?"
The black eyes were shocked.
The first time he heard the news, he didn't have the slightest doubt, because Moge could indeed be so crazy!
Heidu suddenly stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his aura gradually became dangerous, "You said it was my brother who poisoned him? Do you have evidence? I also said that you wanted to covet the position of the dean and deliberately poisoned Moge.
deacon!"
"sit down."
Cheng Shen said softly.
Plop!
Black Poison immediately sat back down uncontrollably, his face suddenly filled with astonishment, "You, what kind of witchcraft did you use!"
Cheng Shen ignored him.
"I'm not here to argue with you about who poisoned you. I'm just stating a fact to you. We have more important things to do between us."
He took out a yellowed contract from his arms.
Heidu suddenly stared at the ring on his hand and said excitedly: "You actually dare to take the Holy Court's token privately, this one will sentence you to death!"
"I will be the dean from now on. Why can't I wear it?"
Cheng Shen grinned.
"The dean was killed, and Deacon Moge fell into the dark night and fought to the death with the monster with divine blood. It sounds so pleasant to listen to. I will be promoted to Black Crow immediately after I get your performance. Who else can take this seat if I don't take it?"
Cheng Shen has never liked to be verbose.
At this moment, I'm just waiting for the contract to take effect.
"Well……"
In the ward, the sleeping Nader gradually lost his high fever and regained consciousness.
The system prompts in my ears rang simultaneously.
【Mission completed!】
[Get: 250,000 experience points!]
[Get: Performance 12!]
[Tip: Your professional resume has been updated!]
…
Before completing Nader's mission, Cheng Shen only had a name in this clinic, equivalent to an intern with the real power of a doctor.
complete the task,
Only then did things get right.
And this also means that he has the qualifications to inherit this clinic.
The bet in his hand began to glow, and Cheng Shen smiled and touched it with the dean's ring on his finger.
The bet was immediately divided into two parts and each fell into the hands of Cheng Shen and Heidu.
"The bet comes into effect..."
An old voice sounded.
Wow.
The two bets immediately shattered into specks of light, and one part melted into Hei Po's body, returning to Cheng Shen's hands with a touch of blood in his pain.
[Obtained: Performance 996!]
[Tip: You have been qualified for career promotion!]
…
The take effect of the bet directly pushed his performance to a thousand points. Cheng Shen didn't waste any time and immediately informed Kewei through Soul Seed to send someone to assess.
Doctor Crow's appointment assessment has always required the doctor to go to the Holy Academy by himself.
But having privileges is so convenient. If Kovi is now a deacon of the Holy Court, he doesn’t even need to show up...
"You can't..."
The black poisonous face is distorted.
"It's a pity. If I had enough time, I could handle this matter perfectly.
Instead of being full of loopholes like now.”
Cheng Shen shook his head.
If the evidence of Moge's poisoning can be found and cooperated with Hei Po's interrogation confession, Covey can more smoothly replace Moge as deacon, and he can also legitimately take the position of dean.
But now he can only choose to hide the truth that the clinic was almost destroyed.
otherwise.
His identity cannot withstand investigation.
He can't hide it for a day. He can't stay here for too long. By the time his identity is exposed, the main mission will probably be almost over.
It won't matter then.
"Now, tell me everything you know..."
Cheng Shen's eyes were dark.
…
Benedict!
The planer blade fell on the wood and slag flew everywhere.
In the quiet factory building, Cheng Shen was still carving meticulously, but the carving speed was much faster than yesterday.
"When I got off work yesterday and went to work today, I felt the traces of the night watchman again. It seems that the House of Doom is very important in their eyes, and they refused to give up after two consecutive failures..."
He was thinking twice.
"But the Redemption Institute's supervision over me has also been strengthened. The tyrannical Soul Reaver is always there, and they don't dare to take action for a while."
"I have to take the initiative to create opportunities to contact them."
Cheng Shen thought.
Before, he was hoping that the Redemption House would drive away the Night Watchmen, but now the situation is reversed. He wants to find out what the Night Watchmen are planning secretly, so that he will not be too passive when something unexpected happens.
Cheng Shen raised his eyes.
He did not hand over the newly completed components to the conveyor belt, but assembled them into a puppet more than ten centimeters high in front of the monitor.
The structure of this puppet is very simple.
The woodcarving has a smooth surface, its limbs are not flexible at all, and its surface is bare with no patterns or patterns.
But just such a model, in the eyes of the monitors, started to move without any warning.
It struggled to pick up a carving knife. The entire knife was larger than itself, making its movements look very funny. Cheng Shen let out an unexplained laugh, which echoed clearly in the empty factory building.
"There's a situation!"
A voice came from a dark room.
There were candlesticks placed on the table, and the firelight reflected the figures of several people.
One of them held a crystal ball in both hands. The light and shadow inside the transparent ball changed, showing the factory room where Cheng Shen was located.
"What did it do...a smaller puppet?"
"Is this what it's capable of?"
"But how does it make a lifeless puppet move on its own? What is it doing?... It's asking the puppet to carve for him?"
The whole room fell into silence around the crystal ball.
Of course one pocket puppet cannot complete the carving, but what if there are ten or a hundred...?
Cheng Shen is constantly increasing the number of miniature dolls and letting them carve them on his behalf.
This scene was all presented in the eyes of several redemption priests.
"It has hidden its abilities for more than ten years, so how come it suddenly starts to expose itself?"
"Maybe it has discovered our surveillance and is deliberately showing us..."
"Impossible, I have always paid attention to it. It has never glanced at the monitor, otherwise I would have sensed it immediately!"
"interesting……"
"Since it can control small puppets, it must also be able to control larger puppets, and even transform the target into a human being..."
Someone made a hypothesis.
"Isn't this the same ability as a magician?"
"You said before that it made the testers sent by the Night Watch disappear out of thin air, and it also emptied an alley."
"Hey! Appeared!"
The redemption priests are still discussing.
Suddenly, the number of puppets in the room began to decrease one by one.
"Erasure! This is the most terrifying erasure ability! Immediately increase the threat level of the puppet to the first sequence!"
someone exclaimed.
"This...if it rises to the first level, it will have to be eliminated regardless of the consequences. If it cannot be eliminated, it will have to be permanently sealed. However, I feel that the threat presented by the puppets currently does not reach this level..."
"I also think that the puppet has been very stable for more than ten years and has never hurt anyone, even if it is bullied."
A thick record book is placed on the table.
If Cheng Shen could see the contents recorded inside, he would be shocked.
It starts from the birth of Carl, and records in detail even the steps he takes every day, and the order in which he steps his left and right legs! The priest who is responsible for recording Carl's daily life can be said to know him better than his own mother!
"It killed those people, I guess, because it was threatened by life.
We can conduct step-by-step tests on its taboos."
he suggested.
"But this is too dangerous! A weirdo who has mastered the first sequence of abilities will bring a huge threat to this city! Besides, no one can guarantee that it will always be stable. What if it goes out of control during testing?"
"What you said makes sense."
"Let's vote."
"..."
There are a total of five people in the room. Unless one person does not respond, the votes of the other four people are exactly two to two.
"Mr. Wesley...how do you think it should be dealt with?"
Soul Reaver. Priest Wesley slowly raised his head, and the light reflected the smooth skull in his hand. The old voice said, "There is not enough threat. The third sequence is tentatively decided and experimental personnel will be sent to test its taboos."
His words basically determined the outcome of Cheng Shen's treatment.
"Then let's observe it for a while."
…
At the end of the day, Cheng Shen left the factory unimpeded.
No body search.
No cross-examination.
At this moment he also made a decision in his heart.
"Don't give me a chance...I've already taken the initiative, and if you don't come to contact me, then I will have no choice but to abandon the light and turn to the dark side."
Cheng Shen thought to himself.
Today's demonstration of ability was also the last chance he left to the Redemption Institute, and it was obvious that they did not cherish it.
This also showed an attitude to Cheng Shen:
Your abilities are useful, even strong, but we don't lack your unit.
On the contrary, the night watchman stayed close to him like a dog-skin plaster.
Choosing who has more prospects is no longer a question that needs to be considered.
