Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 138 Three Questions, Three Answers

"The first question, what is the fate of those players who were killed by you?"

Northrend slowly raised his head, his newly spliced ​​pupils were constantly spinning like marbles in the sunken eye sockets, reflecting the boundless chaotic lines, as if they would jump out of the eye sockets at any time.

His mouth, which was poorly spliced ​​and looked abnormally distorted, twisted for a while, making a "clicking" sound.

After a while, it was difficult to make a sound:
"They... are dead... on board..."

"A ship with...dead people..."

"Send it to... somewhere... somewhere..."

As if from another world, the vague language drifted from all directions and echoed intermittently to everyone's ears.

That voice was completely different from the original Northrend, cold and emotionless, it was hard to tell whether it came from a man or a woman, an old man or a child, a youth or a young woman...

Chen Ye and the other players looked at each other, frowning slightly, and they all saw doubts on each other's faces.

ferry?
Why did this group of players die on the ship?

Judging from the meaning, this ship was specially prepared for the dead, so I am afraid that the meaning of "ship" is not that simple.

as well as……

send somewhere?

Where is this place?

Bai Chen immediately asked the second question:
"To what purpose and where were they sent?"

This question is very subtle. It seems to be a sentence, but it actually contains two questions.

However, as long as it can be asked all at once, contained within one big question...

This is still counted as a question within the rules.

Northrend's body suddenly trembled, and the structure of the head that had just been stitched together seemed extremely weak, as if it was about to split open at any time.

After a while, he finally stopped trembling, and once again made an inhuman rubbing sound from his twisted mouth, and replied:

"The boat...at the pier..."

"Where to... don't know..."

"The purpose... the shit... I know!"

After saying this, Northrend's body suddenly half-collapsed, the skin on the surface began to turn black faster, and the stench of corpses on his body became more intense.

Apparently...

After answering the question twice in a row, the energy in Northrend's body could not last long.

If you don't step up time to ask questions, you may not be able to answer the third question.

Hearing this passage...

Everyone frowned slightly.

There is indeed a wharf near the Xijiang River. Before the bloody countdown, many cruise ships berthed here as sightseeing boats to pick up and drop off tourists from other places.

However, the information in this sentence is useless, everyone knows that the ship is moored at the dock.

The key is where to go...

But obviously, Northrend is just one of the pawns being used. As for where the ship will go, he may not be qualified to know.

This has to make people suspect that Northrend killed so many players, it is very likely that the mastermind behind the scenes has a more important purpose.

As for what the "purpose" is, "Dog Ri's" knows, so what does it mean?
Bai Chen glanced at the people behind him, saw the doubt in their eyes, and lazily explained:

"There is nothing to guess about the meaning of this word."

"Damn it, this is an emotional term, similar to shit."

"Uneducated and vulgar people like Northrend will use dirty words to describe existences beyond their imagination."

"So, shitty, it refers to his behind-the-scenes boss, who probably surpassed his understanding and controlled his destiny."

"That's why the adjective 'dog day' is used."

"Just one last question to ask..."

His pupils seemed to be burning with torches, and he stared at Northrend's face with scorching eyes, and asked word by word:
"What's the name of the man behind the scenes who instructed you?"

As soon as the words fell, Northrend's body suddenly looked like an epileptic patient who had just had a seizure, and his whole body began to twitch.

The newly assembled head, at this moment, every piece of flesh and blood began to squirm like maggots, as if it would burst open at any moment!

Chen Ye frowned slightly, and started playing the suona again!
at this time……

Right above the coffee shop, there was a sudden "bang bang" sound, as if something invisible was colliding!

The high-end chandelier on the ceiling began to shake violently, and the candle-like light became dimmed. The shadows around it were reflected and twisted, as if there were some invisible existences fighting against each other...

Bai Chen frowned slightly, and the black shadow behind him instantly expanded and spread, covering the entire Blue Mountain Cafe. The double-decker floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides were covered with black curtains, and the whole space suddenly fell into darkness.

It seems that in this way, it is possible to block the influence of certain existences on this place...

At this moment, Northrend's trembling body suddenly stabilized as if he had taken a tranquilizer.

His pupils turned white, his mouth squirmed slightly, and he spit out a name——

"Von Lucius!"

In the next second, his head exploded like fireworks, fleshy maggots fell all over the ground, along with sliced ​​eye whites, eyeballs, and corneas, falling everywhere...

Xiao Ai was startled by the sudden noise, and ran behind Matthew like a frightened cat, squatting down with fear on his face, and tugging at his trousers.

Mizi frowned and looked at the dirty things at her feet, a drop of black blood stained her white jade-like instep, and the debris and black blood around her made her feel unable to get off her feet.

Chen Xi's complexion suddenly changed, before she could speak...

"boom!"

Suddenly, the priest behind him slammed the table and jumped up, roaring:
"absurd!"

"Lord von Lucius was the greatest bishop of the past. He passed away a hundred years ago."

"You are defiled the church! Defiled my lord! You will be punished..."

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling blazing sun suddenly burst out from the priest's body, turning into a dazzling holy sword, and stabbing straight at Chen Ye.

Right at this moment...

A black curtain suddenly descended on the coffee shop!
The darkness shrouded the entire space, and all the light sources suddenly seemed to be dimmed several times. Even the holy light in this space was like a candle in the wind that would go out at any time.

The black shadow turned into a giant hand, grabbed the priest, and held it high in the air.

Suddenly, there seemed to be countless pairs of black eyes in the coffee shop, secretly staring at the priest's back, as if countless poisonous snakes were dormant in their lairs, and as long as they were fully mobilized, they could tear the enemy to pieces.

The arrogance and pride on the priest's face was gone, like a rooster that was pinched by fate's throat, its eyes widened, and it faltered and wanted to make a cry, but it couldn't.

"I seem to have said..."

"In a coffee shop, it's best to be quiet!"

"As a church member, you should know some basic etiquette."

"I remember that when your church selects newcomers, there seems to be a course called "The Ignorant Lamb Who Died Without Courtesy"."

"This great priest, you have been in a high position for many years, has it been too long since you reviewed the beginner's content, forgot, need me to review it for you?"

Bai Chen still had a calm and elegant smile on his face, but his gaze and tone became completely cold.

Everyone here can deeply feel that with just one thought, that demon can make a priest die here!

"Now, do you understand what you should do?"

Bai Chen controlled the black shadow, and "pulled" the priest in front of him, watching with condescending eyes, as if the superior could judge the fate of a prisoner at any time.

The priest had a livid face and said nothing.

"Okay, calm down."

Chen Xi took a deep breath, made a symbolic round, and then turned to look at Chen Ye:
"This answer...will there be any problems?"

She chose her words carefully.

This answer is too unbelievable for the Lieyang Church!
Bishop Lucius, who died a hundred years ago, is actually behind this operation?
Could there be some hidden secret... or... the answer has been distorted?
Chen Ye shrugged helplessly and said:

"Dead men don't lie."

Didn't break the cafe rules.

Show that this information is true.

There is no possibility of controlling the response of the dead body in any way.

Corpses will only answer questions according to their consciousness during life...

This is the ability given by the trait.

Everyone on the field suddenly fell silent.

Whether it's the Seagod's heirs, members of the clergy, or players... they all said nothing about it.

For the members of the Sun Church, today seemed to be another day when their faith collapsed.

If the mastermind is really the bishop...

This is not unreasonable.

After all, the timing of the clown's attack and the way he stole the holy relic showed a high degree of understanding of the church.

It's like knowing what holy relic is and where it will be placed.

When robbing, they showed extremely high discipline and efficiency. Even if the current holy religion personally leads the internal rebellion among the clergy, it may not be so smooth.

After dark, Lieyang Church was attacked. In less than half an hour, the defense mechanism was destroyed, the treasury was stolen, and there was not even time to rescue the enemy, and the enemy had already left.

It is only possible to do all this if we have a deep understanding of every aspect of the church.

At least bishop-level authority is required to do all this!
For players, the situation is even more confusing!

Originally, I found Northrend in this dungeon. I thought it was just a cliché contradictory plot where I met a perverted player and killed my own people behind the scenes.

In anime and novels based on online games, this is basically a bad routine.

But what everyone never expected is...

The black hand behind the scenes turned out to be Lieyang Church, an NPC who should have died a long time ago!

Not only did he create "Thirteen Chapters of Crossing the Soul", he had extremely high achievements in the church, he once stood at the pinnacle of power, and he also possessed unfathomable strength.

The most unbelievable thing is...

The opponent also showed a high degree of understanding of the player's actions, and the entire plan seemed to be aimed at this group of outsiders.

What exactly is going on?

Chen Ye lowered his head in thought. He thought that unlocking the [Voice of the Dead], which could make the dead speak, would solve the mystery that troubled everyone.

But unexpectedly, the information provided by Northrend actually pulled everyone into a bigger mystery!
The dead player's whereabouts are unknown, and a man behind the scenes who should have died a hundred years ago was killed along the way...

The situation became more confusing.

At this moment, Agaka stood up suddenly, followed several elders of the Sea God Clan, and arrived in front of Chen Ye and others.

Agaka took a deep breath, and slowly said:

"Perhaps, I know where your companions were sent by the ship..."
