War in Heaven

In the meandering underground passage, the "white woman" holding the candlestick is alert to observe the situation around him.

The air in the ground is extremely dull, with pale green spots floating in front of it, like tiny insects, and like poisonous particles.

After about five minutes or so, the passage in front of the room began to widen. It was a circular open space. The ground was full of solid blood stains. A wooden ladder was placed against the wall.

Next to the ladder, a rotten corpse was placed, and the decaying muscles on his face were peeled off by half, revealing the bones below.

Lin Chi put down the candlestick in his hand and searched the body according to the usual practice. This time, he did not find any text prompts. Instead, he found a rusty copper key in the pocket of the body.

- From the linear mode of the game, this key should be used soon.

Searching in the open space where the ladder is located, and not finding anything else, Lin slowly climbed the ladder, pushed open a piece of wood at the top, and entered the room above.

Different from the dark shades of several rooms, an oil lamp hangs in this room, and the yellow light that shines out of the room, leaning against the left wall of Lin Chi, is a large wooden bookcase that is empty and empty. On the wall on the right side, a large mirror is reflecting the dazzling light.

"I can finally see what I look like."

Lin walked quickly to the mirror and looked at the face of his avatar by the light of the oil lamp:

The girl in the white dress with a stunned look is standing in the mirror and "looking at herself". The short hair of the ear looks a bit dirty, with dark brown eyes and a few bruises on the pale face.

Looking at the cute round face in the mirror, Lin Chi fell into meditation. Although these bruises seem to be something that will appear on the deceased, if the living being is desecrated, it is equally likely to become like this.

- So, is this character a living or a corpse?

I can't see whether my character is alive or dead. Lin Chi turned his gaze to the dirty white dress on his body. If you can take off this dress, you can confirm whether there is any scar on your body, but...

Lin Chi stretched out his hand and grabbed the sling hanging on his shoulder. The white skirt on his body did not move. It seemed to be integrated with the skin. It could not be completely removed by any means.

"What?" he muttered.

It seems that perhaps in order to avoid some unfair players to "undress PLAY", the clothes on the character can not be taken off. In this way, it is impossible to see what is under your skirt...

"Forget it."

Lin Chi turned to the bookshelf without any books and began to look for ways to leave the room.

There is no door in this room, not even the windows. It seems that there is no way to leave. If you really have doors and windows, you should be hiding behind the bookshelf.

Standing on the bookshelf and extending his hands, grabbed the edge of the bookshelf with slender fingers, and Lin tried to pull down the bookshelf, but soon found that it was also like the skirt on his body, like being fixed on the wall. On the top, no matter how hard it is, it doesn't move.

"what's the situation?"

Realizing that he seems to have encountered a new puzzle, Lin Chi walked around the bookshelf, carefully observed the details above, and found a small line on the bottom layer of the board:

“The bookshelf is here with due diligence and waiting to complete its mission.”

"..."

Seeing this line of words, Lin Chi said nothing, put the notebook in the hand directly on the empty bookshelf, and then heard a bang, the wooden large bookshelf began to move to the right, revealing the block A wooden door at the back.

Unsurprisingly, this door is also locked like the other doors. But this time, the way to unlock is much simpler than before...

Lin Chi took out the key that had just been found from the body in his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole on the door, and gently twisted it to open the door lock and push open the locked wooden door.

- This time, what will be in the back?

The "girl" dressed in white secretly thought about it, took the notes from the bookshelf back, and held the candlestick into the dark room.

"Uh……"

She frowned and coughed.

There was a lot of dust floating in this room, which made Lin feel the illusion that he was in the mine. He used candlelight to observe the surroundings. First, he saw the dusty floor and the long gray table.

“Here is the restaurant?”

The size of this room is much larger than the previous ones. From the point of view of the candlelight, the neatly arranged wooden chairs and rectangular tables are standard on the old canteen.

Seeing the extinguished candle on the long table, Lin Chi went forward and lit the candlesticks on the table with the candles in his hand. The originally darkened restaurant was finally illuminated by the swaying candlelight.

Then, when I saw the scene in the room, Lin Chi stopped again:

- The bodies of several black cloth bags with the same headgear, leaning against the wooden chairs at the table, look stiff and waiting for the delicious food to be served. On the table in front of one of the bodies, there is an old book.

Needless to say, the book should be the book "Forget the Books in the Restaurant" in the notebook!

With this in mind, Lin Chi immediately walked to the side of the body, glanced at the already stiff body, then slowly extended his right hand, carefully prepared to pick up the book.

According to his many years of gaming experience, there is a high probability that a sudden accident will occur at this time in a horror game, but now in order to continue the game, I can only try it...

Lin Chi’s right hand slowly fell on the book, then slammed back, picked up the book and took a step back, staring alertly at the movement of the body.

......

The body did not make any movements, still stiffly leaning against the chair, the head covered by the hood was unable to sag, and could not see the expression on the face.

Waiting for a few more seconds, seeing the body still motionless, Lin Chi also a little relieved, sat down on a chair at the table, opened the book that was taken from the body and began to read the contents.

From the font point of view, this book should also be the same as the notes, from the "collector", the contents are all hand-written:

"The Crusaders' Messenger"

When the soldiers of the Imperial Crusade return home, they will return to the Scar Fortress.

The Red Moon hangs in the night sky and is surrounded by the purest black. The huge battlefield that was illuminated by the moon was also faintly bleeding, and the second war between the "empire" and the dynasty had already heated up. Here, the scar fortress at the border is one of the most fierce battlefields.

The huge silver-gray steel fort stands on the plains. This is the scar fortress. This defensive fortress belonging to the empire has been here for five hundred years and still cannot be attacked by the enemy.

When I came to the Scar Fortress, it was at night. The silver armor soldiers who were responsible for guarding the place were very warm and received me. It seems that even those who are eager to die in battle need a corpse to dispose of their companions... or their own bodies.

I have always been in awe of these warriors who are not afraid of death. But they seem to be somewhat afraid of me. I don't understand why this is different from the warriors who were born and died on the battlefield. I am just a timid and despicable corpse.

"Are you sure you are timid?"

After reading the text on the first page, Lin Chi couldn't help but vomit. In his view, the corpse who has lived in such a place for a long time is absolutely unbelievable...

The text on the first page merely explains the background and does not elaborate on any substantive content. Lin Chi opened the next page and began to browse the following texts as quickly as possible:

......

Only after arriving at the Scar Fortress, the dynasty’s army began to attack, and I have never been to the battlefield. I also experienced the legendary siege war for the first time:

The heavy armored soldiers of the dynasty siege forces waved in the direction of the fortress, completely ignoring the burning boulder thrown by the slinger and the arrow rain from the empire archers. Their huge black metal boots stepped on the bodies of fallen comrades and directly trampled them into bolognese.

It seems that these barbaric madmen do not need the help of the corpse.

The second echelon behind the siege forces was the archers of the dynasty. These mixed-balls were worn in silver and white, with long blue bows, and they shot silver arrows on the walls of the scars.

Sitting behind the archers, the Knights of the dynasty, the knights wearing silver and gold armor, were protected by their commanders.

I used a telescope to observe the center of the Knights' phalanx. There was a seemingly uncoordinated figure. The strong man was more than two meters tall and was wrapped in a huge purple-red armor. Put the black bloodied hands on the axe.

"That man is the commander of the dynasty." A soldier introduced me.

"Do you want to kill him?" I asked.

"No, we have to catch him, whether it is dead or alive." The soldier replied.

I was very puzzled when I heard this, and I didn't understand the meaning of this soldier. But then I quickly understood what he really wanted to do...

......

After reading the text on the second page, I haven't turned the next page yet. Lin Chi has almost understood what the corpse wants to express:

"The dead are resurrected?"

In the game of the medieval world view, the spells of the resurrection of the dead are generally in the taboo category of the Necromancer spells. Only those necromancers who are exiled will master the technique of forbidden.

Because it is still not clear about the world view of the game of "The Devil's Chamber of Secrets", Lin Chi can't figure out how people resurrect the dead in this "world", but from the contents recorded in the log, the "empire" The warriors must be able to turn the opponent's commander into their own warrior through some kind of taboo spell.

- So, what are they going to do?

Lin Chizheng is about to open the next page, and suddenly a clear ticking sounds around him.

Although the voice was weak, it was a lot louder in the quietly quiet restaurant. The "white girl" suddenly turned to look at the position of the sound, only to see the black and red liquid dripping down and falling on the wooden floor of the restaurant.

Looking up and looking at the ceiling of the restaurant by candlelight, Lin Chi immediately saw an amazing scene:

- A naked young man, nailed to the ceiling by a few steel nails, his body is expanded in a large shape, and the wounds of his hands and feet are constantly dropping blood.

"Man, are you COSPLAY?"

While talking, Lin Chi had picked up the candlestick and the log and stepped back, avoiding the scope of the body and coming to the other end of the restaurant.

Although the corpse does not seem to have any fighting power, it is not good if it falls down and hits your head...

Patiently waiting for a moment, determined that the body does not move, Lin slowly opened the next page of the log, surrounded by a group of dead bodies, continue to read the following content.
