Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 135 Master-Apprentice Ensemble Soul Crossing Final Chapter ([-] in [-])

"Dead... dead?"

Everyone looked at Northrend's disappearing head, the blood gushing all over the ground, and the reappearing clown pattern, and they couldn't help falling into silence.

The thread was broken again.

Unexpectedly, Northrend's death would come so suddenly, without warning.

Even before the information was revealed, something unexpected happened.

Chen Ye, Chen Xi and Bai Chen kept calm expressions on their faces, as if they had expected this scene long ago.

In the game of "Strange Era", there have been some features that can restrict subordinates from saying taboo content.

However, the blood spattered by Northrend's death gathered into a clown pattern, which seemed to indicate that the mastermind behind the scenes had clearly anticipated today's situation.

The real enemy is not yet known, but that unknown mysterious existence has quietly mixed into the player group, lurking in the deepest part, quietly staring at everyone.

player?aborigines?Or an extraordinary existence?

no one knows the answer...

In the silent silence, Bai Chen spoke first, breaking the atmosphere of silence:

"Hey, I didn't have any expectations. You can see that this guy is unwilling to speak. Obviously, even if he speaks, it's useless."

"What should we do now?" Matthew frowned. "Among the players, there are perverted villains who take pleasure in destroying other players?"

Bai Chen smiled and asked back:
"Do you think the current players can really gain this level of power with only this little time to develop?"

Matthew was stunned for a moment, then his eyes sank, and he fell into deep thought.

Chen Xi took a deep breath, looked at Bai Chen and said:

"Now, if you know something, don't hide it."

"This matter is no small matter, I am afraid it has affected the life and death of all our players!"

"What information do you know?"

Bai Chen smiled, and with his white gloved right hand, his index finger pointed to the second rule on the notice board.

"Exchange information?" Chen Xi's eyes moved slightly, "What do you want to know?"

"Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul." Bai Chen said.

As soon as the words were finished, Chen Xi and Chen Ye raised their heads at the same time and looked at Bai Chen.

This guy...why is he also interested in "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing"?

At this moment, the old man of erhu quietly said from the side:

"Actually, even if a person is dead, he may not be unable to speak... For example, the scroll that this boss just snatched has the ability to make the dead speak."

"So, even if that guy is dead, if he can get the power in it, it may not be impossible for the dead man to speak up and tell the relevant information."

"It's just... It is said that this is the last piece of music that has never been played before, and it has the ability."

The moment the old erhu finished speaking...

Everyone present turned their heads almost at the same time, including the player and the group of clergy members of the Lieyang Church.

"How did you know?"

The priest stood up suddenly, stared at the old man with the erhu, and asked hoarsely.

In the church, there seems to be no record of this character...

However, "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" is the core of the church, and the scroll of the final chapter involves deep secrets.

Not to mention being a priest, even if you reach the level of a bishop, you may not be able to know the hidden secrets.

This old man who didn't know where he came from by the side of the road actually casually revealed the top secret of Lieyang Church?
What the hell is going on?
The erhu old man looked like an old god, and his tone was slightly innocent:

"Oh, young man, what are you so excited about?"

"Old man, I've lived a long time and wandered a lot, so I naturally have a little bit more knowledge."

"Is it strange to know this?"

Chen Xi couldn't help showing a strange look. In fact, the "young man" that the old erhu called was already a priest who was over [-] years old.

In the normal world before the advent, sea turtles may not live that long, and they can be regarded as living fossils in the church.

But in the mouth of the erhu old man, he turned into a "young man" instead?
For some reason, when the old erhu man spoke, Chen Yuguang glanced at Bai Chen, and found that the other party's sloppy expression had calmed down, and he obviously became much more focused.

He saw that the hands in white gloves changed from the original posture of crossing their chests to inserting them in their pockets.

Seems to be shaking slightly.

After a while.

Bai Chen smiled, took out the scroll of "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing" from his pocket, and put it in front of Chen Xi:

"Actually, I'm only interested in the case itself. As for this thing belonging to your Lieyang Church, it's of no use to me."

"but……"

"I've been interrogating you for so long, so of course I can't waste my time."

"In exchange, I need a low-sequence characteristic item of the [Fire Sun] sequence, as well as information about "Thirteen Chapters of Soul Crossing."

"Don't get me wrong, I need this information, it's just some speculation."

A priest of Guangming couldn't bear it at all, and angrily yelled at Bai Chen:
"You devil, this sacred scroll belongs to our church..."

At this moment, a burst of icy breath suddenly enveloped the priest.

The ground under his feet was suddenly covered by black shadows.

The surrounding lights dimmed, and the huge black shadow covered the entire coffee shop, like the shadow of a demon, slowly extending, projecting a huge curtain on the walls and the ground, dancing wildly.

The pastor was halfway through speaking when he suddenly felt a crisis of death, swallowed the rest of the reprimand immediately, his face was covered with cold sweat, and the expression on his face seemed to be choked by the throat of fate.

Bai Chen glanced across the pastor's body indifferently, and said lightly:
"In my coffee shop, it's better to be quiet so as not to disturb other customers drinking coffee normally."

"It's polite!"

Chen Xi raised her hand, signaling the pastor to calm down, and then her eyes fell on Bai Chen, saying:

"Your conditions, I can promise you."

After all, at this juncture, they are still facing a dark and unknown enemy.

It would not be a wise move to have a conflict with a player who is at the top of the leaderboard and who may have secret information.

Especially now that everyone is still on each other's territory!

"You should learn from your saint."

Bai Chen raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and then withdrew the black shadow.

"When your boss is negotiating, as a qualified subordinate, you should learn to shut up!"

The priest sat slumped on the ground, trembling slightly, and didn't dare to say another word.

soon.

Chen Xi handed over a silver holy sword.

This is the characteristic item that dropped when those [Soldiers of Light] died in the dungeon of the Scarlet Building not long ago.

Warriors and priests of the Light Sequence are all first-rank occupations. The special items dropped from them are placed in the Church of the Sun, and they are mass-produced items, and their value is not very high.

And what Bai Chen needs are only low-characteristic items of the [Fire Sun] sequence.

These silver swords and bible books were originally required to be handed over to the Lieyang Church, but Chen Xi, as the main leader of this battle, has the status of a saint, and has certain rights to dispose of these special items.

Subsequently.

Chen Xi recalled the knowledge about "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul", organized some words in her mind, and said:

"Originally, there were only twelve chapters in "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul". According to legend, it was the "Spiritual Chapter" created by Fu Ruisi. He adapted the Bible that extradites the world into art music, and produced twelve different scores. , has been handed down to this day.”

"The [Fire Sun] sequence of the art department can be played through different musical instruments through the music score left by Fu Ruisi, communicate with our Lord, and obtain the power of [Fire Sun] gift."

"However, the previous legendary bishop, von Lucius, revised the 'Chapter of Spirit' and added the last Chapter 13 during a catastrophe in the Lieyang Church."

"The main theme of the original twelve chapters has also been revised, and it seems to have acquired an unknown, mysterious, and transcendent power!"

"With the help of this power, the Church of the Lieyang successfully survived that catastrophe, and Lucius has become the most outstanding bishop in hundreds of years."

"From then on, he changed the 'Chapter of Spirit' to "Chapter Thirteen of Crossing the Soul"."

"It's just that...Chapter 13 seems to contain a transcendent, uncontrollable force."

"During Lucius' tenure, it is forbidden for any church member to touch the content of the final chapter rashly."

"After his death, several bishops tried to gain the power of it and play it."

"result……"

"They are insane without exception!"

Having said that, the priest standing behind Chen Xi said coldly:

"Devil, I advise you to stay away from this power. As a dangerous item that the Church of the Sun has never controlled, if you touch it rashly, you will only play with fire and burn yourself."

"It's so scary!"

Bai Chen exclaimed exaggeratedly, pulled out the scroll, and threw it to Chen Xi:

"Since this thing is so dangerous, I'll give it back to you."

"Okay, it's my turn to reveal a piece of information."

"Gentlemen and ladies, please listen carefully. Do you feel that there are too many coincidences in this city, as well as the sense of déjà vu that often appears during the performance?"

Visual sense?
As soon as the words were finished, Chen Ye, Chen Xi, Matthew and other players lowered their heads in deep thought.

To be honest, after coming to this world, there is indeed a sense of déjà vu.

For example, meeting certain people, or the feeling of being digested during the acting process...

There is an inexplicable sense of sight!
It's as if... this incident seems to have happened a long time ago.

"Play?"

Chen Ye closed his eyes and began to recall the scenes after the arrival.

Indeed, in every performance, the feeling of digestion is as if I have mastered the corresponding skills a long time ago, and suddenly become handy.

But why is there such a capability?
This is not as simple as a characteristic, it seems to use this power instinctively from the soul, as if it is innately familiar.

Chen Xi, Matthew and others also recalled the process of acting, and nodded one after another, expressing that they had similar feelings.

And there is... a coincidence!
That's right.

There are indeed too many coincidences in this city.

Chen Ye found that the special items he found seemed to be more or less effective.

otherwise……

That is to wait until later, and you will find out that there is a hidden effect.

Moreover, this coincidence didn't just happen to him, for example, when Northrend escaped, he actually appeared at the door of Bai Chen's cafe.

This isn't necessarily and isn't one of those coincidences.

Including Chen Xi also reflected that when she was exploring, it seemed that she would easily encounter some pollution, so as to exert her purification ability.

It was as if there was a hand from the gods in the sky, which turned into a booster and pushed everyone forward.

"What does the value of the weird value mean in reality?"

Chen Ye suddenly began to think about this question.

Originally, the higher the value in the general game, the stronger it should be.

But this is contrary to the core gameplay of "Weird Age".

After all, in the original gameplay, you need to collect characteristics to change jobs. The higher the job, the stronger the corresponding ability.

At present, it seems that the strangeness value can increase the understanding and use skills of professional characteristics in the role-playing, and increase some characteristics, reaching the upper limit.

Here comes the strange place...

In a simple way of understanding, the strange value can actually improve the player's operation?
Shouldn't the operation belong to the player, and it can be improved with the game?
Even if it reaches the "upper limit", this is originally the ability that this characteristic should have.

At the beginning, Chen Ye thought it was the deepening of the influence of the weird value on the performance, but now, he gradually began to try to understand the true meaning.

"What else do you know?"

Chen Xi raised her head, looked at Bai Chen and asked seriously.

"No more." Bai Chen shrugged, "I, like you, have just come into this world, but I have thought a little more and investigated a little deeper. Don't take me as an all-knowing and omnipotent existence."

"It's a pity that this guy can't talk."

Matthew glanced at Northrend's body with a little regret:
"If you can get specific information from him, it should be much easier."

At this moment, a voice came leisurely from the side:
"Who said he couldn't talk?"

Everyone turned their heads and found that the person who said this sentence was the old man of Erhu.

Matthew frowned: "But he is dead, a dead man, how can he talk...unless someone can play the final chapter."

"Hehe, young man, you're right." The old man on the erhu smiled. "It just so happens that I still have some skills, old man. Although I'm old and my hands are rusty, it shouldn't be a big problem to play the final chapter."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned their heads and looked at the old man Erhu, full of surprise, shock and deep disbelief.

"Are you kidding me!"

Priest Guangming stood up, laughing angrily.

Everyone today is defying the authority of the church!
First, a [devil] came out halfway and snatched the scroll of the holy religion, and then came an old man on the side of the road who didn't know where he came from, uttering wild words, saying that he could play the final chapter that even the bishop would lose control...

Chen Xi looked at the old man Erhu in a little surprise, and then his eyes fell on Chen Ye...

Chen Ye stretched out his hand, looked at Chen Xi and said:
"According to the agreement, after I complete this mission, I should be granted permission to read the final chapter."

"give it to me."

That tone was full of confidence.

More precisely...

It seems that the number one master in front of him has full confidence in the mysterious master behind him!

Chen Xi pondered for a moment, realizing that this might be the only chance to get close to the truth!
All the fates seem to be strung together to form the picture in front of me.

Then, Chen Xi didn't have any doubts about the old man's ability to play the final chapter.

She didn't hesitate anymore, and handed the "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" that she had just received from Bai Chen to Chen Ye.

Holding the scroll in his hand, Chen Ye slowly rolled it out in front of him.

Although the musical notes in the first twelve chapters are incomplete, they are roughly the same as the musical notes seen in the public gallery of the church that day.

however……

Gradually turn to the page of the final chapter...

The black symbols on it seemed to be distorting chaotically in the field of vision.

Even looking directly at it brings a dizzy feeling, as if the self-consciousness is slowly dissolving.

Any music score constitutes a chaotic picture, like a black mosaic, where the specific position of the notes, the direction of the music score, and the melody and melody contained in it cannot be seen clearly...

If you gather your energy to check it again, you will feel like going crazy.

At this moment, the gentle voice of the old man Erhu came from beside him:
"Don't be so anxious, you need a strange drink to calm your mind and let your body and mind reach the best state, so that you can perform a special performance."

Chen Ye's mind was gradually withdrawn from the chaotic score.

From the words of the old man on the erhu, he immediately realized what he needed to do.

next second.

Chen Ye took out the landscape scroll, and took out the cup of [Bloody Mary].

"Oh!"

Bai Chen pretended to be pompous and pointed at the glass of drink, and smiled proudly:

"I just said, I am the protagonist, you see my items always play a role at the most critical moment!"

Chen Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly.

It seems that there are more than one player who said that he is the protagonist in front of him...

He took out the scarlet glass and saw the glazed lines in the glass, which connected to the "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" in front of him, connected to the purple energy in the halo of the Erhu old man beside him, and connected to his golden star at the same time.

It's time to swallow this deadly drink!

Chen Ye didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately drank the [Bloody Mary] in the cup in one gulp.

The moment the scarlet wine entered the mouth, a spicy feeling was swallowed down the throat, as if the entire esophagus, connected to the stomach, began to burn!

At that moment, Chen Ye felt dizzy in his brain, and there seemed to be maddening ravings in his ears, surrounding him in all directions, making a deafening roar...

The moment I opened my eyes again...

In front of the field of vision, the black mosaic covering the final volume of "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" has disappeared!

On the music score, the black notes became clearer, one can see their position on the music score, and the direction of the melody...

That score was not created for "human beings" at all, as if it was specially played for the existence above the heaven, and for the undead in the underworld...

This piece of music is custom-made for the "dead"!

The contours of the gray air masses around them no longer appear as blurry garbled characters, but gradually outline human faces, including men, women, old people, and children...

Their numb faces suddenly revealed a bit of surprise, centered on Chen Ye and the old Erhu, they turned into a gray whirlpool and surrounded them, standing together in a circle, as if they were about to enjoy a concert audience.

Chen Xi and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling the temperature of the coffee shop, as if it had suddenly become quite cold.

The corners of Bai Chen's mouth curled up slightly:

"Next, it seems that a good show is about to start!"

At this moment, Chen Ye took out the suona, and the old erhu took out the erhu.

In the vortex storm formed by the souls of the dead, the two master and apprentice began to play the final chapter of this song of crossing the soul!

(End of this chapter)
