Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 137 Let the Dead Speak ([-] in [-])

The bloody curtain around the coffee shop is slowly fading away.

The flood that had been raging overnight passed through the drainage system of the pedestrian street and gradually sank, and the street returned to its original appearance.

The blood mist in the air then dissipated.

only……

On the ground, there was scarlet blood-colored water, and the strange blood-colored eyes seemed to be alive, slowly crawling towards the surroundings...

Before I knew it, it was the next morning.

Although there is no sunlight, when you look up to the sky, you can see the gray light. Through the dark clouds, it gradually illuminates everything in the park, and illuminates the classical decoration in the Blue Mountain Cafe, as well as lying on the ground, Tables, sofas, or guests who close their eyes, sleep soundly, or meditate.

Chen Xi sat cross-legged on an open space, opened her eyes slightly, and those clear eyes reflected the outline of the entire coffee shop.

Faint golden particles emanated from her body.

After a night of meditation, the astral body has recovered to its peak and can release several 'sacred flames' again.

Moreover, compared with the beginning, Chen Xi felt that her astral body seemed to have grown.

I don't know if it's because last night, I used too much force and squeezed all my mental power...

Therefore, in extreme mode, the total amount of protoss grows.

She clearly felt that her strength had become stronger.

Faintly touched the threshold needed to advance to the third rank!

call!
at this time……

In the middle of the coffee shop, a gust of wind suddenly blew up!
Chen Xi and the others were startled immediately, and stood up in unison, staring at the area where the mist condensed.

A golden glow came obliquely, and from the glazed light curtain, a familiar figure was gradually outlined.

He was wearing a loose linen short-sleeved shirt, exuding the air of a prodigal son, and there was a faint smell of decay coming from his nostrils.

The Suona held in his hand glowed with a pitch-black light, as if endowed with some kind of mysterious brilliance.

On his chest, he wears a silver cross.

There was a faint gleam of colored glaze left on the cross, which seemed to be connected to the soul-crossing scroll suspended above his head through a wave of energy.

The soul-crossing scroll erupted with golden light, as if it had exhausted all its energy, gradually dimmed, and slowly fell in the midair, falling into Chen Ye's hands.

Chen Xi stood up and was about to go forward when suddenly the astral body issued a warning!
Chen Ye in front of me gave me a completely different feeling!

Originally, the characteristic of [Fire Sun] in her body could restrain [Demon].

but……

Now Chen Ye seems to have a more mysterious and unpredictable power, which is still suppressing her [Fire Sun] characteristic faintly.

Even the entire astral body felt a sense of oppression, just like the feeling of oppression when a lower-ranking person faces a higher-ranking person.

"Clap clap clap!"

At this moment, the sound of Bai Chen applauding and going downstairs came from upstairs.

Next to him, Mizi changed into a loose pajamas, and the trousers were slightly rolled up, revealing two white ankles surrounded by small bronze bells, stepping on the ground with bare feet like white jade, stepping down from the wooden stairs.

When the two came to the first floor, Bai Chen's eyes fell on Chen Ye, and he applauded and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, it seems that you have obtained that strange power!"

Mizi tilted his head, looked behind him through Chen Ye, and said doubtfully:
"Where's the erhu master next to you?"

Chen Ye's eyes were calm, and his tone was calm: "He still has something to do, and he went to another place."

He didn't dwell on this topic anymore, and handed the "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" to Chen Xi, saying:
"According to the conditions, I just asked for permission to read it. Now that I have finished reading it, I should return this scroll to you."

Chen Xi seemed to have suddenly awakened, and just now she came back to her senses, her expression was a little unnatural, she adjusted, nodded slightly, took the scroll from Chen Ye, and gave it to the priest standing behind her.

The priest put "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul" into his pocket, looked up at Chen Ye, with a half-smile expression on his face, and said:
"I didn't expect that you and your master could really play the final chapter..."

He emphasized the three words "your master".

Chen Ye walked past the priest lazily, ignoring him directly, and shifted to the second floor, the headless Northrend corpse whose blood had dried up and whose skin surface had begun to turn black.

"I have obtained the characteristic of making the dead speak. Now, I can try it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present couldn't help standing up.

It seems……

Chen Ye really successfully played the final chapter of Crossing the Soul, and, with such a special item, successfully integrated into a new second-rank job?

Bai Chen sighed and looked at Mizi:

"I really want to have such a convenient ability. In the future, even the criminals don't have to think about all kinds of ways to interrogate them. They can just kill them. That's much easier!"

Miko shrugged, showing a look of "I'm useless to you".

at this time.

Chen Ye picked up the suona in his hand and placed it near his mouth.

Agaka raised the bone staff, his lips moved slightly, and wanted to recite the spell silently, releasing a vacuum belt again...

"No need." Chen Ye waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm letting the dead man speak now, and there's no need to play the final chapter, and it won't have a fatal effect on you."

"Is that so..." Agaka showed surprise on his face, and he couldn't believe it.

Chen Ye pointed to the second rule of Baichen's shop, and said with a smile:

"This is also a kind of intelligence."

Bai Chen shrugged, nodded and said, "What he said is indeed right, it won't affect us."

Since the rules in the shop were not triggered, it meant that there was nothing wrong with the information Chen Ye said.

Everyone took a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and immediately relaxed.

Last night, the master-student duo played the final chapter, and the feeling it brought to everyone was simply unforgettable for a lifetime!

It's like walking through the gate of hell!
When they looked at Suona again, they were obviously somewhat psychologically shadowed.

next second.

Chen Ye put the suona to his lips and began to play it.

When the melody sounded, everyone's hearts couldn't help following the melody and substituting into the emotion of the music.

It was a faint sadness, as if I had just experienced a period of separation, but with renewed courage and confidence, I walked forward.

Unknowingly, listening to the song, everyone seems to have forgotten the passage of time...

"Ding!"

Until the end, a notification sound came from the bloody phones in the players' pockets...

Everyone's minds returned to reality.

Suddenly, the sons of the Sea God and members of the clergy realized that they had unknowingly pulled out money and put it in front of Chen Ye.

They immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help but blush, but when they thought of the rules, they instinctively felt a wave of fear, so they could only obediently hand over the performance fee.

While taking out the copper coin and putting it in front of Chen Ye, Ajiaka said with emotion:

"I haven't heard such wonderful music for many years. The last time I brought such a wonderful feeling was listening to the echo of the magical conch when I was a child."

With Agaka speaking as an elder, the descendants of the Sea God behind him had no objections, those who had money gave money, and those who had no money asked the elders of the clan to chip in.

It was the group of clergy members behind them, with stinky faces, who reluctantly took out the copper coins from their pockets.

Bai Chen and other players finally understand...

What is it like to encounter 'music trick'!
At this moment, Chen Xi handed over to Chen Ye a "Bright Bible" that emitted a faint light.

Behind him, the priest saw this scene, couldn't help but twitched his mouth, and quickly persuaded:
"My lord, this is the holy book of the [Fire Sun] sequence, how can it be used as a performance fee for a wanderer?"

This holy book is exactly the special item dropped from several dead [Priest of Light] during the battle in the Scarlet Building.

Although it is a mass-produced low-sequence item, even if it is put on the market, the price of selling thousands of copper coins is not a problem.

How can it be used as a performance fee so casually?

Chen Xi coughed lightly, and said with a little embarrassment, "I...have no money on me."

The last fifty copper coins have been spent when buying 'Cat Shit Coffee'.

As soon as the words fell, the players around looked at Chen Xi with weird expressions.

As the saintess of the Church of the Rieing Sun...

There is no money?
Isn't this saintess too shameless?

Chen Xi hurriedly explained: "Most of my property was kept in the warehouse of the church, but it was a pity that those clowns took it away."

Only holy relics could be found in the wooden box.

but……

The copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins that were stolen from the church were not in the Scarlet Building.

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding clergy members seemed to even breathe a little heavier.

After all, most of their wages are also stored in the treasury of the Lieyang Church, which is safe enough and they can receive a regular interest.

It will be extracted when needed.

This is a tradition of the church, and all members of the clergy basically maintain a habit that has lasted for hundreds of years.

In order to integrate into the performance, Chenxi also "does as the Romans do", depositing property in the treasury regularly and accumulating interest.

But now, those properties have all passed through this disaster, snatched by the Joker and turned into nothing.

All the members of the Lieyang Church are essentially the church's guarantors, and the property lost due to accidents can only be borne by themselves.

They looked at the large bag of copper coins that Chen Ye had just taken in his hand, and at this moment, the corners of his mouth seemed to twist slightly on his normally solemn face.

The priest added with a gloomy face, "But my lady...you have to know that such a deal is not equivalent. How does the value of a wanderer's performance compare with that of a holy relic?"

Chen Xi ignored the priest, she took the [Bright Bible], walked in front of Chen Ye, took a deep breath, and said:

"Not long ago, you helped me withstand a fatal blow, and you are considered a lifesaver."

"This [Bright Bible] is your reward and also the performance fee."

"At the same time, it's a testament to our relationship as an ally."

In the halo of luck, a purple aura followed the [Bright Bible] in his hand, connecting to the mysterious and yellow aura around Chen Ye.

It really isn't that easy to be a saint... Chen Ye sighed secretly, the value of the holy relic in front of him was indeed far more than the performance fee.But it is used as a life-saving mortgage and a proof of allies, and it is also taking advantage of the rules of this city.

So, right now, I either don't accept the performance fee, or I accept...

But in this way, the life-saving debt that Chen Xi owed to herself would be repaid, and the relationship between the two parties would turn into an ally, which also meant that the concept of "equivalence" in this transaction would be blurred.

If it is an ally, in this relationship, reciprocity is naturally indispensable, and the interests involved will not be so equivalent, but under the balance of "relative equivalence".

Allies mean that there are long-term interests, so the impact of short-term inequality will be blurred on the basis of this relationship, thereby offsetting the impact of fate.

as well as……

The connected purple air also indicated that accepting this [Bright Bible] would be the best choice.

"it is good."

Chen Ye nodded, and took the [Bright Bible] away.

In fact, after this action, he can also see that Chen Xi is an ally worthy of cooperation.

As the saint of the Lieyang Church, Chen Xi has a very high status. With her help, it will be much easier to do many things.

"Tsk tsk, I suspect that this guy is the second richest player right now."

Bai Chen made two "tsk" sounds from the side, and said with emotion.

"Who is the first?"

Miko turned her head curiously and asked.

"I won't tell you." Bai Chen shrugged, "Anyway, you don't know the other party, so it's pointless to know."

"Bored man!"

Mizi rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk anymore.

After a while, Chen Ye finally collected all the performance fees.

at this time……

In front, Northrend's corpse stood up automatically!
The minced meat around it crawled towards the top of the corpse like maggots all over the ground.

Pieces of shattered flesh gradually formed Northrend's original rough and bearded face, but there were stitches in many places on the face, which looked as if it had been torn apart countless times. It is an ugly doll that is stitched together with thin thread and needles.

Northrend shook his head mechanically a few times, and then, a long and unhuman voice came out of his mouth:

"You... want to... ask..."

"what?"

When Northrend spoke, the sound didn't seem to come from his throat, but a voice floating from another world.

Falling on everyone's ears, it actually brought a sense of unreality like auditory hallucinations.

The surrounding temperature suddenly turned cold.

Chen Xi and the others clearly felt that the exposed skin of their arms became extremely cold.

In the air, there seems to be some invisible existence, passing through itself with a virtual body, bringing the coldness that penetrates into the soul.

"interesting."

A ray of excitement burst out of Bai Chen's pupils, and he stepped in front of Northrend, intending to interrogate himself.

At this time, Chen Ye said beside him:

"It lasts up to half an hour, and only three questions can be asked."

"so……"

"Finally figure out what questions to ask if you need an interrogation."

Hearing this, Bai Chen couldn't help sighing:
"Well, I thought I could get unlimited information from the mouths of the dead, but it seems that I'm thinking too much, and the characteristics will still be limited."

He turned around, faced Northrend, and slowly asked the first question.
