Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 42 Welcome to R'lyeh

It feels sticky, as if the consciousness is wrapped in a layer of intestinal membrane.

Weird voices echoed in my ears, like crying, laughing wildly, and screaming.

The moment he opened his eyes, Rhodes found that his consciousness had turned into a blurry black figure standing on a huge finger.

I am in a quiet and strange cave that cannot be described in words.

In the middle of the position close to him on the left is a huge octopus-headed monster statue squatting.

Behind the monster, there is a pair of damaged bat wings.

"Oh, welcome to our new number 13."

The noise like an electric current accompanied by a male voice suddenly rang in my ears.

In Rhode's line of sight, above the head of the octopus-headed monster statue, suddenly appeared a dark blurry figure similar to his own consciousness.

"I am number 0, welcome to R'lyeh."

"Raliyah?"

"Yes, the consciousness space where the Great Lord sleeps."

"How did you know I was number 13?"

Rhodes asked in a low voice.

No. 0 pointed to Rhodes' standing finger.

"The position of each number is different."

"Since you can enter here, it means that the previous No. 13 either died, or he gave you the nameplate. Now let me tell you the specific information about our organization."

"Wait, don't you need to test me or something?"

Rhodes asked back in a low voice, this No. 0 didn't seem to take the No. 13 nameplate replacement seriously at all.

"No, I have the same identity as you."

"You can enter the consciousness space, which means you have been approved by the Lord."

"Your identity doesn't matter, this is just a place to exchange knowledge, issue tasks, exchange knowledge, and exchange information."

"Ok."

Rhodes hesitated in doubt.

"Confirm again, I am number 0." The vague electric voice whispered.

"Number 10 representing fraud, go back to your place." Behind "Number 0", a tall and huge figure suddenly appeared at this moment, and he looked down at "Number 0".

"Tch, isn't it just a joke with the newcomers, don't be angry." The sound of electric current suddenly sounded beside Rhodes.

"Number 0" who was originally squatting on top of the monster's head suddenly appeared on Rhodes's finger separated by 2 spaces.

"Hey, let's get to know each other again. I'm number 10, which stands for fraud."

Fraud No. 10, who was sitting cross-legged, greeted Rhodes, and he was quite happy.

Rhodes' consciousness rolled his eyes, and he looked at the real number 0 standing above the monster's head.

"Hi, I'm number 0, which stands for anger."

There was a sense of power in the voice of the tall figure, which was the aura only possessed by superiors.

Rhodes analyzed in his heart.

"Welcome, our fifth member, this is R'lyeh, you should have heard about fraud, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, the original number 13 represented fear, but he has been replaced, and now you will have the opportunity to re-select the title."

"What's the title?"

"It represents who you are here, and the depth of knowledge you can gain."

"The depth of knowledge?"

"Yes, the knowledge acquired by each person is different."

"Since there is gain, there must be sacrifice, right?"

Rhodes would not believe that there are benefits for nothing, let alone this seemingly mysterious organization.

"Oh, you're such a smart guy, not like the last number 13, that stupid guy." Fraud echoed beside him.

Angry glanced at Fraud, and Fraud immediately shut up, as if he was afraid of anger.

"You need to exchange sacrifices for knowledge." Anger continued.

"Sacrifice what?"

"The soul power of humans, demons, or other intelligent creatures."

"It seems very interesting, how can I get the title?"

"Get out your nameplate, it will guide you."

Rhodes took out the nameplate, and the lifelike tentacles on the nameplate seemed to be alive, and they gradually spread into the void.

Eight cards hidden under the black mist appeared in front of Rhodes.

"Oh, what a guy full of potential." Fraud looked at the 8 cards that appeared in front of Rhodes, boasting in an exaggerated tone.

Angry glared at Fraud again, and Fraud obediently shut his mouth.

"You can draw one." There was a trace of curiosity in the angry eyes, and he was also surprised that the new No. 13 could get so many title choices at the same time.

Choice goes both ways.

Rhodes glanced at the fraud.

The other party's admiration is fraudulent and cannot be trusted.

He looked at anger again, and anger seemed to reveal curiosity.

This shows that his potential seems to be really great.

In this case.

Rhodes chose the last card.

A man with the sun behind him, standing alone in the sky, except for his eyes, the rest is blurred.

These are eyes that defy everything.

Below is a line of small print.

"A man independent of heaven - arrogance"

"It seems to be a good card."

Rhodes turned the cards over and showed them to Wrath and Deceit.

Following Rhode's choice, the rest of the cards all dissipated into nothingness.

There was a trace of astonishment in the fraudulent eyes, even jealousy.

Anger is with a smile in his eyes, and finally ushered in another real candidate.

"Welcome to the Seven Sins, number 13, arrogance."

The card representing arrogance is attached to the gold nameplate in Rhodes' hand.

"You can use it to sacrifice the power of your soul in exchange for knowledge. The Seven Sins is a loose organization, and there are no special regulations. Just like what the fraud said, you can issue tasks, exchange knowledge, and exchange information. Of course you Everything obtained must be exchanged with an equivalent value recognized by the other party."

After finishing his anger, he went offline.

Fraud looked at Rhodes, and seemed to have something to say, but held back for a long time, and finally left in a hurry.

Rhodes sat cross-legged on his fingers.

Absorbing the information conveyed in the card.

He also gradually understood the significance of the existence of the organization about the Seven Sins. On the surface, it was a secret organization that exchanged knowledge by sacrificing souls, but secretly it seemed to be for the purpose of accumulating soul power.

As for why to accumulate soul power, Rhodes looked at the huge monster statue not far away.

There is a faint guess in my heart, but the specifics need to be verified step by step.

After absorbing all known knowledge that doesn't require the exchange of soul power, Rhodes' consciousness also left this space.

In the dark and quiet space.

A deep murmur suddenly sounded.

On the walls around the cave, countless wriggling tentacles that were originally petrified broke through the wall, and they circulated and circled around the statue, but when a vague figure suddenly appeared on the 12th finger beside Rhodes, they disappeared again. Reverted to a stone statue in an instant.

Is this the consciousness space that the teacher said can be exchanged for knowledge?
What a mysterious area.

Margaret looked at the weird statues around her, and she followed the steps the teacher said.

The operation is carried out step by step.

Looking at the 7 cards floating in front of her, Margaret randomly selected one.

Looking at the pattern on the card and a line of small characters below, Margaret showed a bit of surprise, but there was no chance to re-select after choosing.

Margaret reluctantly admitted her marked identity.

Cards are attached to nameplates.

While absorbing the knowledge on the cards, Margaret was thinking about what the teacher and herself mentioned.

According to the teacher's own experimentation, the time in this space should not be too long, otherwise the consciousness may be infected.

It's better to leave as soon as possible. When you need to use knowledge in the future, you can exchange it with the soul power of the hunted demons. It's better not to come in usually.

Thinking of this, Margaret's consciousness went offline.
