War Paradise

After a flurry of dizziness, Lin Chi and Mooliya entered a strange area.

There was deathly silence here, and the air didn't seem to flow. Except for the three colors of black, white and gray, no other tones no longer exist.

Lin Chi looked down at Own's body and found that he had also become a "black and white" form. Although he couldn't see his face, now Own's face must be similar to the photo on the portrait.

"Have you been here?" Lin Chi asked Mooliya next to her.

"No..." A trace of confusion flowed through Moria's gray eyes, "Master Mephistopheles never said about the shelter before."

Obviously, this dimly-colored strange place is the shelter provided by Mephistopheles. The gray vacant land spreads, and there is no edge in sight. A church-shaped building is standing in the wasteland. superior.

The outer wall of the church is white with gray patterns painted on it. Due to the color tone, there is no sense of solemn Sacred, only the dark breath spreads.

Lin Chi and Moriya walked towards the church slowly and came to the black carved wooden door. Lin Chi's hands pressed on the cold door panel, and with the extremely high attribute value, he easily pushed open the heavy wooden door.

The rubbing of the door shaft broke the dead silence of the sanctuary. At the moment when the door of the church opened, a large amount of dust hit on the face, engulfing the bodies of the two in a flash, and choking Moria into a cough.

As a walking corpse, Lin Chi is totally unaffected by the dust. He strode into the front door of the church. What you see is the cross pattern on the glass on both sides, facing the statue of Mephistopheles at the door. Rows of wooden chairs in the church, and...

"Ah..." Mo Liya who had just walked in, her eyes widened in surprise.

Several human skeletons are leaning against the wooden chairs in the church, maintaining a hump-back sitting posture. The clothing on their bodies has long decayed with flesh and blood, and only a few pieces of black and lacquered cloth are still hanging on their bodies. superior.

"Aren't they also believers?" Moriya walked forward in surprise, reaching out to touch one of the skeletons, but was stopped by Lin Chi.

"Don't move." Lin Chi grabbed Holy Maiden's wrist.

"My Courier, what's the matter?" Moriya turned her head to look at him.

"When you touch them, they should be broken." Lin Chi looked at the skeletons that maintained their delicate balance.

——These bones seem to have been stored in the church for hundreds of years, and they are still in good condition. It is also because no one has touched them. Now, these bones seem to be fragile, and they are not easy to cover. The tiny cracks you see will probably turn into dust with just a light touch.

Lin Chi, who doesn't know what happened in the shelter, didn't want to destroy this closed "scene" before completing the investigation. After stopping Moria's actions, he cautiously stepped forward and looked at the skeletons sitting on the bench.

These skeletons have disappeared even their hair. Looking at the bones cannot distinguish between men and women. Since they appeared in the shelter of Mephistopheles, these people are most likely to be followers of Mephistopheles. People related to Mephistopheles.

"Couldn't it be that Mephistopheles forgot to release the people the last time he'save the people'?" Lin Chi said casually.

"My messenger, please don't slander Mephistopheles." Moria puffed her cheeks seriously, as if a little angry: "It was Master Mephistopheles who gave you a second chance..."

"Yes, yes, I know." Lin Chi was too lazy to waste time with the pedantic Holy Maiden. While observing the bones, he opened the map in the game and checked his current location.

Then he found...there was no map at all in this area.This weird shelter is not in the city of Sodom. Based on the clues now, Lin Chi didn't know where he was. However, the remains in the church may provide some information.

Lin Chi frowned and stood in front of a skeleton, slowly stretched his right hand into the black cloth on the opponent's chest, and drew out a circular pentagram from the pocket of that "clothing".

The appearance of this thing is almost exactly the same as the magic circle drawn by Moria just now. As Lin Chi picked it up, the article introduction text popped out:

Mephistopheles coat of arms.

Item level: Normal.

Those who carry the coat of arms will be regarded as followers of Mephistopheles.

"The followers of Mephistopheles are scattered in all corners of the world. The deceitful demon sees them as items that can be consumed at will, but they are still loyal."

"..."

Lin Chi casually put the coat of arms in his pocket and began to examine the other bone next to him. At this time, behind him sounded like a "crash" sound like a building block collapsed.

He turned his head and saw that Moria was retracting her right hand. A skeleton beside her fell apart after being touched and turned into a cloud of white dust.

"I told you not to touch it." Lin Chi stared at Molia, who was covering her nose and mouth.

"Sorry, Messenger-sir, I'm just a little curious..." Molliya blinked a little apologetically, trying to pass the level cutely.

"never mind."

Lin Chi, who has not yet figured out the situation, has no time to reprimand the Holy Maiden. He just stood in front of the bench on the left and looked at a skeleton over there.

This skeleton didn't carry any props on his body, but his blackened finger bones still provided clues for Lin Chi.

"Did he write anything before he died?"

The corpse’s finger bones don’t look like the result of illness, but rather like something stained with ink. If this guy is skinny and still struggles with writing for a long time, he will be stained with ink. The possibility is also there.

Unsurprisingly, when Lin Chi bent down to examine the underside of the wooden chair, he found a curved quill and an overturned ink bottle.

So, where is the text written by this person?

Lin Chi looked around and looked around in the church, but did not see any paper. The words written by the deceased before his death seemed to have evaporated, and it was hard to find a trace.

"Have you really never been here before?" Lin Chi looked back at Molliya.

"No, Lord Messenger." Molliya said with a certainty: "Master Mephistopheles only gave me a way to activate the teleportation formation. This is the first time I have used this teleportation formation."

"Oh, I see……"

Lin Chi said thoughtfully, stood in front of the statue of Mephistopheles on the church wall, and raised his head to look at this large "altar".

The statue of Mephistopheles in the church is similar to the sculptures in Sodom. It is also a skinny "halfling". There are only dense white bones below the waist, which should be the legs, replaced by bony tails. .

"Hey, waste wood, are you there?"

Lin Chi tried to call Mephistopheles in front of this statue, but this time, the god did not respond to his call.

It seems that Mephistopheles may not be able to communicate with the shelter. Of course, there is also another possibility-that guy can contact here, but he is currently dealing with "important matters" and he has no time to pay attention to him.

"Um……"

Standing inside the church with an unusually heavy air, Lin Chi was about to speak, and Moria had already spoken:

"Sir Courier, shall we take a break? Lord Mephistopheles will definitely contact us after finishing the work."

"Use this altar?" Lin Chi pointed to the Mephistopheles statue in the church.

"This altar can feel the magic power of Lord Mephistopheles!" Molliya was quite sure, reaching out to stroke the bones under the statue.

Seeing that she seemed quite sure that she could contact here, Lin Chi nodded, leaned against the corner and sat down, and began to close her eyes and rest.

He was fighting all night last night and had no time to rest at all. Now he is about to reach his limit. However, before going to sleep, Lin Chi seemed to have thought of something suddenly and asked:

"You said, is this a place of execution?"

"My messenger, what do you mean?" Moriya's voice paused.

"I'm thinking, this place may be a trap set by Mephistopheles." Lin Chi smiled slightly: "The believer who died sitting on the chair, maybe the same as us, was sent to the'shelter', and then At once……"

"My messenger, you're worrying too much." Molliya said angrily, "Master Mephistopheles can't abandon us!"

--Is it really?

Recalling Mephistopheles’ greedy laughter when he got the sacrifice, and the scene of the “god” obliterating other subordinates, Lin Chi raised his eyebrows, but didn’t say much, just leaned against the wall. Close your eyes slowly.

...

There was silence in the church, and only the breathing of the two could be heard. Molliya, who was sitting on an old chair, also lowered her head and fell asleep slowly, with a posture that resembled the bones next to her.

The harmonious and loving "sleep scene" only lasted less than ten minutes. Molliya blinked suddenly, her hands folded twice, her head silently twisted and pointed towards Lin Chi's direction.

Holy Maiden of the Mephistopheles sect squinted her eyes, like a dangerous viper. Seeing the "Sir" messenger under Mephistopheles with herself sleeping, she quietly stood up and lifted her skirt from the skirt. Pull out the short-handled sickle just used to draw the magic circle from below.

She took a step towards the center of the church, moving extremely softly, without making any sound.

At this moment, Lin Chi still closed his eyes...observing everything nearby through "perception".

In the extreme state, even without relying on sight and hearing, he could still feel the changes in a small area nearby. The action Mooriya had just made naturally did not escape his senses.

——Is this really a trap? Is Moria taking this opportunity to deal with herself?Realizing that own's bad inference seemed to come true, Lin Chi didn't say anything, and continued to wait for the other party's next move.

After entering the church and noticing the corpse here, Lin Chi had already thought of the possibility that this place was a "execution ground" for the execution of believers. Mephistopheles, known as a fraudster, may not really want to protect himself, but intends to send the cursed person who is about to lose control to this place to sneak out.

Lin Chi knew that for the other gods in the city of Sodom, he who had performed ancient sacrifices was a very dangerous existence. In order to preserve the power, it is quite normal that the gods intend to get rid of themselves.

In this way, Moria, who came with her, is probably the "Assassin" sent by Mephistopheles!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi used his mind to open the skill bar, ready to activate the "Ancient God's Appearance" skill at any time.

In fact, with Moria’s combat power, even in the state of the godly supporter, she is not her own opponent. If the Holy Maiden really intends to do it, Lin Chi is also ready to give up the plan to recruit her and kill her directly.

Molliya took a step towards Lin Chi's location, and then the second and third steps.

She moved very slowly, and her hands holding the sickle handle seemed to be shaking slightly. When she came to the middle of the aisle sandwiched by two rows of benches, her slow footsteps stopped completely. .

Then, there was an extremely faint whisper, which rang from there:

"My god, please tell me... what to do..."

This time, Moria was calling not "Master Mephistopheles", but changed to the name "My God" that appeared from her mouth for the first time. She lowered her head and stared at her trembling unceasingly. With both hands and the trembling blade, the eyeballs are also spinning constantly, as if in a frenzy:

"I... I don't want to..." she whispered, sounding like she was about to cry: "I don't want to..."

——What is she hesitating?

Lin Chi, who is still leaning against the wall "sleeping soundly", continues to use his acting skills of "playing his true colors" to maintain a state of pretending to be asleep. For the old salted fish, it is simpler to pretend to be in his most common form. NS.

While pretending to sleep, he was also secretly speculating in his heart:

Could it be that Moria, who received Mephistopheles' order, couldn't bear to kill herself? Judging from the current situation, this possibility should be the greatest.

If this is the case, that means that if I want to recruit Moria, I still have a little hope. Lin Chi, who had accepted Moria's help before, didn't want to tear his face with this Holy Maiden, and then kill this fellow who had been a companion.

Should things turn around?

Lin Chi, who closed his eyes and prepared to react accordingly, heard Mo Liya say something in a low voice. This time, he used language that he didn't understand:

"Tus-eus."

--What is she saying?

Listening to the language that seemed to have been heard somewhere, Lin Chi suddenly realized that Moria's pronunciation just now seemed to be similar to the language used by the primitive vampire.

"No?" He was surprised.

In this way, when I first met this Holy Maiden, she did stay deep in the chapel in Mephistopheles, and only appeared on the street at night, maybe she hadn't been exposed to sunlight at all. Moreover, her skin is also abnormally fair, but as a bloodless walking corpse, Lin Chi didn't care about the complexion of this Holy Maiden before.

——Moriya... Is it a vampire?
