Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 381 The Net That Always Exists
After dawn.

Cheng Shen first prepared a bottle of rare 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 profession of Mercy Pharmacist.

The materials needed to prepare the perfect potential potion are not easy to find here, so we can only wait until we go out.He pointed out to Yusefka again that the samples of the plague serum were basically able to exert a healing effect.

Ready for mass production.

"Why hasn't the medicinal material I wanted arrived yet?" Cheng Shen sat in the office, closed his eyes and meditated, but his consciousness dived into the depths to communicate with a soul-seed.

The faint message came quickly.

"This afternoon at the latest..." Covey thought for a while, and felt that he should tell Cheng Shen what happened in the Holy Court recently.

He replied: "There was an accident on the side of the Holy Court, and even the appointment of the deacon was 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, causing some trouble."

"Um!?"

Cheng Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hearing this key information, he immediately thought of his own body.

"what happened?"

he asked.

"I haven't got any specific news from here, but several blood crows from the holy courtyard have left, which seems to be a big trouble, oh yes, when they left, I vaguely heard them exchanging divine blood... and other words .”

Covey replied honestly.

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

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

"Divine blood..."

Cheng Shen thought about disconnecting.

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

Not to mention.

His physical body also carried two terrifying and weird curses at the same time.

But he couldn't figure it out, the Holy Court would link this matter with the blood of the gods, is it because his bright red form is extremely special?
"Maybe it's just a misdiagnosis..."

he thought.

It was just this news that reminded him.

time is limited.

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

Or as soon as possible.

"The identity of Dr. Crow won't matter until the body is recovered."

Cheng Shen stood up.

I thought 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 the jurisdiction of my duty..."

Covey groaned.

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

Cheng Shen replied without refusal.

Covey's initial role in this step was to help him suppress the two sensational events of Mog's death and the clinic's mass destruction.He is now a black crow, and with status, it doesn't matter whether he can succeed the dean.

Anyway, the clinic is all under his control.

Whether he is the dean can not affect anything.

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

Cheng Shen will definitely try to squeeze his value as much as possible now.

As he thought about it, he got up and left the clinic, preparing to visit the Freljord, by the way, to observe the reaction of the church after the execution officer escaped last night.

……

On the side of the puppet, Cheng Shen used a clone of soul consciousness to complete the work instead of himself, and at the same time attracted the supervision attention of the Salvation House.

He pretended to leave.

Mixed into the city and prepared to find some side quests.

Cheng Shen immediately thought of the puppet shop. He hadn't finished the task of that horrible warehouse.He was not sure about Old Johnny's strength before, and he didn't dare to expose it. Now that he has the level of the peak of Tier [-], there is no need to be afraid of him anymore.

Brisk all the way.

The deserted puppet shop will soon be far away.

With sharp eyesight, Cheng Shen saw at a glance that a puppet in a red dress was 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, but just as he was about to get closer, he suddenly saw Alice who seemed to have heard some kind of sound, and immediately turned over and fell down the steps, and then her head popped out, pretending to be struggling to climb out.

"……Um?"

A slight doubt suddenly rose in his heart.

Approaching, Cheng Shen observed Alice, bent down and reached out to pick her up, the puppet in his palm immediately struggled desperately.

"Don't! Let me go! Get me out of here!"

she shouted at the top of her voice.

"You can't leave?"

Cheng Shen couldn't help asking when he thought of the scene where she could go straight away just now.

"...!"

The puppet in his hand instantly became quiet.

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

"You're here! You're here! I'm finally waiting for you!"

Cheng Shen realized something was wrong.

The pupils suddenly became dark.

Reincarnation desperate situation!

hum! !

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

The pitch-black waves were churning, and there were dark clouds floating in the sky, and a huge, boundless eye was quietly suspended on the dome.

With a loud bang.

seabed,

An ancient Western European-style manor slowly emerged.

In the manor, corpses were strewn all over the ground, blood flowed into rivers, and everything was stained with blood. Three figures stood in this terrifying underworld filter.

among them.

A man and a woman held a sharp knife that had been chopped into a jagged shape. They stood there covered in blood, their eyes were lifeless, and their faces were dull. The flowing blood outlined a thread 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 in aristocratic costumes one after another.

The morbid smile that emerged from that distorted face might make people have nightmares for several nights after seeing it.

old jonny.

Alice's desperate experience is actually related to him.

Cheng Shen recalled something about the Xicheng massacre he had heard about, and the scene in front of him should be the original scene.

What makes him uncomfortable is.

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

"When he talked with the priest of salvation when he led me to the factory, he clearly expressed his remorse for this matter. Now it seems that it is just a show, and the abnormality in this old thing's heart has been deeply rooted..."

Cheng Shen shook his head.

He was not interested in watching the reenactment of the original tragedy again, and directly pulled Alice's soul out.

some inquiries.

His face gradually became ugly.

"Old Johnny keeps you guarding the door every day, pretending to run away, just to make you wait until that 'Carl' who will help you make a different choice?"

he asked solemnly.

"Yes……"

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

"Did he ever tell you who he made you wait for?"

Cheng Shen asked.

"I... once when he was in a good mood, I heard him casually mentioning that that person would have the power to change the world..."

Alice's answer wiped out Cheng Shen's last trace of luck.

"call……"

He couldn't help taking a deep breath, causing waves to rise 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 thought that old Johnny was only threatened by the church and had to be the weird guide of Karl.

But don't want to.

This perverted old thing actually has an amazing identity that has been hidden from the church!

A person who can say this and make such preparations can only think of one existence,
Faithless!
Those unbelievers were also the same old survivors.

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

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

How did old Johnny figure out that Karl would be the container for the descendant? !

and many more!

He suddenly thought of a more terrifying guess.

Ever since Karl could remember, Margot had been spying on him all the time. Connecting with the fact that she hated old Johnny so much, Cheng Shen had no choice but to think about it, and she had always understood the possibility of this matter!
his coming,

In fact, it has already been clearly calculated by this group of people! ?

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

Since he entered this city, he has not found any clues about the unbelievers. How could he know that the traces of their existence have already spread all over every corner of his activities, interweaving into a tight network.

And he,

right in the net.

"If I hadn't been so cautious in the beginning, I would have been exposed by now.

right now,

Margo perhaps... she must have known who I am. "

Cheng Shen said firmly.

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

and.

She should be the one who understands so many recent changes in herself.

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

Can't figure it out.

and also.

The matter of the ghost had already reminded him.

The group of hidden 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 hard to guard against.

If he hadn't been cautious enough...

On the first day, he had the idea of ​​looking for an opportunity to communicate with Alice!Then he would have to expose it directly!

"fine……"

Cheng Shen looked at Alice's soul.

"Is he not in the store now?"

"Yes……"

Alice had tasted his tricks and dared not lie.

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

Cheng Shen asked.

"He holds our soul box, as long as he gives an order, we can't even have the slightest thought of disobeying..."

Alice said.

"It's the thing that's always been by his side?" Cheng Shen recalled the wooden box that Old Johnny always carried with him.

It is filled with all kinds of lifelike and exquisite dolls.

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

This old thing's hobby is really perverted to the extreme.

"Longevity really makes people perverted."

Cheng Shen shook his head.

It is because of the long lifespan that people continue to pursue more exciting things. I am afraid that none of the extraordinary people who have lived for 800 years have normal thinking.

"... Has he been in contact with other people?"

Cheng Shen thought of one thing.

"Have!"

Alice nodded affirmatively.

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

……

Back in reality, only a moment passed.

Cheng Shen lowered his head and looked at Alice whose facial expression was gradually becoming more flexible, "Although you almost killed me, but you are honest, I can give you a way out, now take me to the place where he hides the treasure."

"follow me!"

Alice turned over and jumped off and ran forward quickly.

Entering the inner room, the door was locked. Cheng Shen was about to use force to destroy it, when Alice pulled out a hair and stuck it into the keyhole for a while.

click.

The lock opened directly.

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

Alice said with extremely complicated emotions.

With the soul box, even if they go 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 or not.

As for what Old Johnny asked her to do, except for himself and Cheng Shen, no one would understand the meaning of it. Even if Alice accidentally leaked the truth to others, it would be harmless.

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

Once inside the house.

Alice shouted excitedly.

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

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

He immediately released his senses cautiously to check his surroundings, and there was indeed nothing.

Unless there is a formation that even he can't see through.

But that's basically impossible.

The effect of energy mastery allows him to see the flow of any energy form, even higher energies that he cannot yet control.Moreover, judging from his previous performance, Old Johnny should not be very good at playing.

Longevity is one thing.

To master the art of formation, more importantly, it depends on talent...and cheating.

He obviously has neither.

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

Extraordinary matter...

He stopped.

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

He has more important things to do.

"Destroy it!! Destroy it!"

Alice commanded excitedly.

"Not urgent."

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

There was one thing he had to do before alarming old Johnny.

Come to the backyard.

Cheng Shen asked Alice to go out to deal with the 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 began to carve without distraction.

In the quiet warehouse, there were gradually more voices that shouldn't be there.

The system prompts sounded at the same time.
