Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 161 Story
Claire smiled dumbly and asked, "Then what can you bring us? Why should we trust you?"

Laurel was silent for a while and said: "You can plant any means on me, and, besides, I want to ask you to listen to a story first."

Before the two of them could reply, Rorel said to himself: "Once upon a time, there was a peaceful and peaceful town in the south of the empire. This town was very ordinary, with only a hundred or so households. life."

"Everything was fine at first, but with the sudden intrusion of undead creatures, the peaceful town gradually became uneasy."

"It was an ordinary afternoon, and the townspeople who were working in the fields were unexpectedly attacked by undead creatures. Because the undead creatures that attacked were the lowest kind, and there were not many of them, these undead creatures were very It was quickly resolved by the small town Qing Zhuang who reacted."

"This is a very common thing, but it has aroused the vigilance of the residents of the town. They are afraid that there will be a new undead lair nearby, so they want to find someone to help investigate."

"They first reported the matter to the nearby big city, but they were dealt with coldly. The adults in the city promised to send people to investigate, but after a month passed, there was still no action. During this period, two more attacks by undead creatures occurred."

"As a last resort, the residents of the small town had to collect money from each household and hire someone to investigate. Fortunately, they soon hired a three-person mercenary team."

"This mercenary team is quite professional. They can hunt and kill several undead creatures around the town every three to five days. They also began to explain the power and horror of undead creatures to the town residents. According to them, It is to let the residents of the town know more about it, so that even if they encounter undead creatures that cannot be resisted in the future, they can increase the hope of surviving."

"As time goes by, everything seems to be back on track. If this continues, the town will return to its former appearance. Unfortunately, a sudden incident has once again pushed the town into panic."

"A certain hunter who went out did not return on time. Originally, the residents of the town didn't take it seriously. However, they couldn't stand the pleadings of the hunter's family, so they went out together to look for the trace of the hunter. In the end, they found the hunter not far from the town. corpse."

"The hunter's death is extremely tragic, his body is full of small wounds, he died because of the blood draining, and there are countless strange symbols carved with his blood around his body, and this is just the beginning!"

"On the second day, the bodies of the same town residents were found on the other side of the town, then on the third day, and on the fourth day..."

"Even if the residents of the small town are not going out, there is still a resident missing every day, and his body will be found by the town residents near the town in the same death condition the next day."

"The people sent out from the small town to ask for help in the city have disappeared, and even the hired three-person team has never returned."

"There was a group of people gathered in the small town, trying to use the advantage of numbers to break through the dangerous area. As a result, a team of more than a dozen town residents got lost in the bloody fog that suddenly appeared outside the town."

"Since then, the whole town has gradually become numb from fear and despair. Everyone has gone crazy under an inexplicable force, and the residents of the town have started to kill each other crazily. The residents of the small town are all dead, and they were turned into mummified corpses by that inexplicable force."

"Afterwards, the blockade of the bloody mist outside the town was lifted, and the three-person mercenary team returned to the town to dig out the evil things they had buried in advance. Everything that happened in the town was their arrangement, from the very beginning. From releasing undead, to infiltrating the town, spreading panic, until the residents of the town killed each other and completed the final ceremony, it was all their handwriting, the purpose is to collect sacrifices for their gods."

At this point in the story, Laurel paused, seemingly lost in memory.

Claire asked strangely: "In this story, I don't seem to have heard any traces of your existence?"

Claire and Lando naturally understood from the beginning that Laurel was talking about him, but they couldn't help but feel a little strange because they didn't hear him 'appear' in the end.

Claire's words interrupted Laurel's memory. He said calmly: "There is a young man in the small town. He witnessed the whole incident, including the conversation when the three-person team finally recovered the evil object."

"The only difference between him and other town residents is that after the town was blocked, the inexplicable force that drove everyone in the town into madness did not drive him crazy, but instead activated the potential in his body."

"He was frightened and hid, and then he saw his father brutally kill his mother, followed by his father was also killed by other town residents, the boy could only hide in the dark in horror trembling."

"Afterwards, the young man left the small town in a daze, and came to the city to become a beggar. He thought he would go on like this until one day he was starved to death because he couldn't get food, or died of a disease or a fight. middle."

"Then, one day a year later, he awakened..."

It is obviously a very sad story, but for Lando, the sense of déjà vu is too strong. If it is posted on a novel website at a certain point in his previous life, isn't this the standard opening for orphans? !It's still the kind that has a blood feud with the world's strongest dark side forces.

Think about it, if there were no outsiders like Lando and the others to disrupt the situation, wouldn't Laurel, who had penetrated into the enemy's interior, overthrow the 'Dark Cult' in the end? !
Lando's heart suddenly moved, and he asked just in case: "Two questions, are you the boy in your story? That three-person team is the 'Dark Cult'?"

"Yes, I am the boy who survived to the end in the story. After several years of secret investigations, I have confirmed the identity of the hired team back then, and even confirmed the identity of the 'bishop' they belonged to."

No lie!

Lando's mental space comes from the control of the mind, and has the ability to distinguish a person's mind. Although he cannot read thoughts or memories, it is still possible to distinguish whether a person is lying. Of course, the premise is that the person is not strong. , like Claire, unless he takes the initiative to let go of his heart, Lando will not feel anything.

"What do you think?" Lando asked.

Claire thought for a while and said, "It seems feasible, so that your identity can be preserved for the time being."

If Laurel rebels desperately, your identity will be taken into account.

"Well, but I feel that even if I keep this identity, it won't take long."

Claire nodded approvingly. They have obtained so much information this time, and they will definitely attack the 'bishop'-level powerhouse next. In this case, their current identities have nothing to do except allow them to hide in the dark. More works.
