Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

After dawn.

Cheng Shen first prepared a bottle of rare-level potential potion for Yousefka.

She had almost digested yesterday's potion. Cheng Shen watched her take the potion with his own eyes and was successfully promoted to the rare professional compassionate pharmacist.

It is difficult to find the materials needed to prepare the perfect potential potion here, so we can only wait until we go out. He also gave Yousefka some pointers, and the samples of plague serum can basically exert a healing effect.

It’s ready for mass production.

"Why haven't the medicinal materials I asked for been delivered yet?" Cheng Shen sat in the office, closing his eyes and concentrating, but his consciousness sneaked into the depths to communicate with a soul seed.

Faint messages came quickly.

"At the latest in the afternoon..." Covey thought for a while and felt that he should tell Cheng Shen about the recent events in the Holy Courtyard.

He replied: "There was an accident at the Holy Court. Even the appointment of deacons has been temporarily suppressed. It is said that the central clinic in the inner city has a body that needs to be replaced by a big shot, which has caused some trouble."

"Um!?"

Cheng Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.

After hearing this crucial information, he immediately thought of his own body.

"What's going on?"

he asked.

"I haven't received any specific information yet, but several blood crows from the Holy Court have left. It seems to be a big trouble. Oh, by the way, when they left, I vaguely heard them exchanging words such as divine blood...

.”

Covey replied honestly.

He didn't dare to be dishonest. Not only could Cheng Shen control his life from a hundred miles away, he also showed him the terrifying ability to listen to the soul.

He will be noticed even if he has the slightest bad thoughts.

"Divine blood..."

Cheng Shen disconnected thoughtfully.

He could predict that once his body lost control, it would immediately turn into a terrifying devouring monster. If it was allowed to grow without limit, it would only be a matter of time before it destroyed a city.

Not to mention.

His body also carries two terrifying and strange curses at the same time.

But he couldn't figure out that the Holy Court would associate this matter with the divine blood. Is it because his bright red form is extremely special?

"Maybe it's just a misdiagnosis..."

He thought.

Just this news reminded him.

Time is running out.

The system gave him a period of seven days for him to recover his body, but no one could predict what would happen to his body during these seven days.

The sooner the better.

"The identity of Dr. Crow won't be important once the body is recovered."

Cheng Shen stood up.

Think about it.

He contacted Covey again.

"Find an excuse to transfer me to the Holy Court. I want to enter the inner city."

"This is not within the jurisdiction of my responsibilities..."

Covey cried bitterly.

"That's your problem. Tomorrow at the latest, I want to see the transfer order from the Holy Court."

Cheng Shen replied unwillingly.

The initial role of Covey's step was to help him suppress the two sensational events of Moge's death and the annihilation of the clinic. He was now a Black Crow, and with his status, it no longer mattered whether he could succeed as the dean.

Anyway, the clinic is all under his control.

Whether he is the dean or not has no influence.

And when his body is recovered, if his identity is exposed in the process, Covey will naturally be useless.

Cheng Shen will definitely take advantage of this moment to squeeze his value to the maximum extent possible.

He thought, got up and left the clinic, preparing to visit the Freljord and observe the church's reaction after the executioner escaped last night.

…

On the puppet side, Cheng Shen used a soul clone to complete the work on his behalf, and also attracted the supervisory attention of the Salvation Institute.

He pretended to leave.

Sneak into the city and prepare to find some side tasks.

Cheng Shen ranks first

When he thought about the puppet shop and the terrifying warehouse, he had not yet completed the task. Before, he was not sure about old Johnny's strength, so he did not dare to expose it. Now that he is at the peak level of the fourth level, there is no need to be afraid of him anymore.

Traveling quickly.

The deserted puppet shop soon appeared in the distance.

Cheng Shen's vision was sharp and he saw at a glance a little puppet wearing a red dress lying on the threshold of the puppet shop pretending to be dead.

Alice.

Cheng Shen is also interested in exploring the secret of this little thing.

He quickened his pace. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get closer, he suddenly saw Alice, as if hearing some kind of sound, she immediately turned over and fell down the steps, and then her head popped up and she pretended to be struggling to climb out.

"……Um?"

Dumb doubts suddenly arose in his heart.

Approaching, Cheng Shen observed Alice, then bent down and reached out to pick her up. The little puppet in his hand immediately started struggling desperately.

"No! Let me go! Get me out of here!"

She shouted at the top of her lungs.

"You can't leave?"

Cheng Shen thought of the scene where she could just leave, and couldn't help but ask.

"...!"

The puppet in his hand suddenly became quiet.

That lifelike face, painted with bright red paint, evoked a creepy smile.

"You're here! You're here! I've finally waited for you!"

Cheng Shen realized something was wrong.

His eyes suddenly became dark.

Desperate situation of reincarnation!

Buzz!

Alice's soul was directly dragged into the boundless world of despair.

The waves were surging as dark as ink, dense clouds were floating in the sky, and a huge, boundless eye was quietly suspended in the dome.

With a loud rumble.

seabed,

An old Western European-style manor slowly emerged.

In the manor, corpses littered the ground, blood flowed into rivers, everything was dyed in blood, and three figures stood in this terrifying underworld filter.

in.

A man and a woman were holding sharp knives that had been chopped into jagged shapes. They were standing there covered in blood, their eyes were blank, their faces were dull, and the flowing blood outlined a thread on the back of their heads that was so thin that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Like a marionette.

Another slightly older figure was in the main hall, arranging a female corpse wearing aristocratic clothing into one shape after another.

The sickly smile that appeared on that twisted face would probably give people nightmares for several nights after seeing it.

Old Johnny.

Alice's experience of despair is actually related to him.

Cheng Shen recalled some things about the tragedy in Xicheng that he had heard about, and thought that the scene in front of him should be the original scene.

What made him feel uncomfortable was...

This story was originally told to him by old Johnny himself.

"When he took me to the factory and talked with the redemption priest before, he clearly showed regret for this matter. Now it seems that it was just an act. The perversion in this old guy's heart has been deeply rooted..."

Cheng Shen shook his head.

He had no interest in watching the original tragedy reenacted and directly pulled out Alice's soul.

Some inquiries.

His face gradually became ugly.

"Old Johnny keeps you guarding the door every day, pretending to run away, just to let you wait for the "Karl" who will help you make different choices?"

he asked solemnly.

"yes……"

Alice, whose soul took on the appearance of a girl, said pitifully.

"Has he ever said who he is who makes you wait?"

Cheng Shen asked.

"I...one time when he was in a good mood, I heard him mention casually that he said that person would have the power to change the world..."

Alice's answer eliminated Cheng Shen's last trace of luck.

"call……"

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, causing waves to rise one after another in the sea of ​​despair, and countless unknown horrors emerged and disappeared in the depths of the ocean.

The news was too shocking for him.

He originally thought that old Johnny was only threatened by the church and had to be Karl's weird guide.

But don't want to.

This perverted old guy actually has an amazing identity that he has hidden from the church!

He can only think of one person who can say these words and make such preparations,

Unbelievers!

That group of unbelievers is also the original group of ancient survivors.

Only they will know how other survivors came to this world!

This sudden shocking news was a hundred times more shocking than when Cheng Shen saw the ghost throwing the elf ball.

How did old Johnny figure out that Carl would be the vessel to welcome the Advent?!

etc!

He suddenly thought of a more terrifying guess.

Ever since Carl could remember, Marge had been peeping at him all the time. Considering how much she hated old Johnny, Cheng Shen couldn't help but think about it, and she had always known the possibility of this!

his coming,

In fact, they have already been clearly calculated by this group of people!?

A great terror enveloped Cheng Shen, making his heart become colder than a corpse.

Since entering this city, he has not found any clues about the unbelievers. Who knows, traces of their existence have long been spread in every corner of his activities, intertwined into a tight network.

And he,

It's on the Internet.

"If I hadn't been so cautious at the beginning, I must have been exposed to the eyes of all parties now.

Now,

Maybe Mag...she must have known my identity."

Cheng Shen said firmly.

Marge's attitude towards him has become more and more peaceful recently, and she rarely scolds him anymore, but her sister, who has become an emotional trash can, is a bit miserable...

and.

She should be the one who understands the many changes she has undergone recently.

"I'm just not sure what her position is. Is she also a member of the Faithless? Or does she want to use me to achieve other goals?"

Can't figure it out.

besides.

He had also been reminded of the ghost ghost incident before.

The hidden group of unbelievers may not be sure who will become the descendant, but they all used their own methods. Especially old Johnny, who has the closest contact with Carl, such calculations are impossible to guard against.

If he hadn't been cautious enough...

On the first day, he had the idea of ​​finding an opportunity to communicate with Alice! Then he would have to be exposed directly!

"fine……"

Cheng Shen looked into Alice's soul.

"He's not in the store now?"

"Yes……"

Alice has already tasted his methods and dare not lie.

"You were all killed by him, why didn't you dare to resist even after you became a ghost?"

Cheng Shen asked.

"He controls our soul box. As long as he gives orders, we can't even have the slightest thought of disobeying..."

Alice said.

"Is that the thing that has been kept by his side?" Cheng Shen thought of a wooden box that old Qiao Ni always carried with him.

It is filled with various lifelike and exquisite dolls.

Now it seems that they are all poor people who were tortured to death by him and made into puppets.

This old guy's hobbies are really perverted to the extreme.

"Immortality really makes people pervert."

Cheng Shen shook his head.

It is because of long lifespan that people continue to pursue more exciting things, those living

I am afraid that none of the extraordinary people who have lived for eighteen hundred years has normal thinking.

"...Does he usually associate with other people?"

Cheng Shen thought of something.

"have!"

Alice nodded affirmatively.

"There is an old tailor on West Street, and she makes all our clothes herself..."

…

Only a moment passed when I returned to reality.

Cheng Shen lowered his head and looked at Alice, whose facial expression gradually became more alert. "Although you almost killed me, I see that you are still honest. I can give you a way out. Now take me to where he hides the treasure."

"Follow me!"

Alice jumped over and ran forward quickly.

Entering the inner room, the door was locked. Cheng Shen was about to use force to destroy it when he saw Alice pulling out a piece of hair and sticking it into the keyhole for a while.

Card.

The lock opened directly.

"I usually make some small moves within the range that he can tolerate, and he acquiesces..."

Alice said with extremely complicated emotions.

With the soul box here, even if they run to the ends of the earth, they will still be under the control of old Johnny.

He didn't care at all whether the puppets would escape.

As for what Old Qiao Ni asked her to do, except for himself and Cheng Shen, I am afraid no one would understand its meaning. Even if Alice accidentally leaked it to others, it would not be harmful.

"Huh!? He didn't take away the soul box!

"

As soon as you enter the house.

Alice shouted excitedly.

Cheng Shen looked over and, sure enough, a locked wooden box was placed firmly on the table.

"It can't be a trap..."

He immediately cautiously released his senses and checked his surroundings, and found that there was indeed nothing.

Unless there is a formation here that even he cannot see through.

But that's basically impossible.

The effect of energy control allows him to see the flow of any energy form, even high-level energy that he cannot control yet. Moreover, judging from his previous performance, old Johnny should not be very good at battles.

Longevity is one thing.

Mastering formation science mainly relies on talent... and cheating.

He obviously has neither of these.

Cheng Shen controlled his perception and carefully covered the soul box, and immediately noticed an energy containing a powerful aura.

Extraordinary matter...

He stopped.

This soul box must be very important to old Johnny. Whether he touches or destroys it, he will immediately notice it.

He has more important things to do.

"Destroy it!

Destroy it!"

Alice commanded excitedly.

"No rush."

Cheng Shen responded, staring at Alice with resentful eyes and continuing to walk deeper.

Before alerting old Johnny, he had to do one thing.

Come to the backyard.

Cheng Shen asked Alice to go out to deal with old Johnny who might come back at any time, and then locked himself in the warehouse alone.

He walked straight to the workbench shrouded in candlelight.

Cheng Shen picked a piece of wood and started carving without any distractions.

In the quiet warehouse, some unwanted sounds gradually began to appear.

System prompts sounded simultaneously.

[Trigger side mission—Puppet Horror!]
