When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 451: The Conspiracy of the Eternal School

As these players swept along, they soon found the location of the Eternal School and sorted out the general outline of the conspiracy behind "Blood of Lies".

Players have already discovered that the main content of the early stage of the game "Blood of Lies" takes place in Charlton City, and the final ending will also return to Charlton City.

But in the middle and later stages of the game, players will go to some new map areas.

This includes the "Abyss Mine".

After investigating the situation in Charlton City, new clues pointed to this special enclosed area below Charlton City.

In the original plot setting, the people of Charlton City found this mysterious special crystal in an accidental archaeological discovery, which started the tragedy of Charlton City.

This special crystal exists in large quantities in the underground ruins of Charlton City.

Of course, the location of this underground relic does not completely overlap with the city of Charlton. It has an extremely exaggerated scale. Part of it is located underground in the city of Charlton, while another part is in the wilderness or under the mountains, and some simply exist in the open air in the valley.

In order to obtain more underground crystals, the city of Charlton conducted a long and deep excavation of this relic. With the joint efforts of human miners and puppet miners, the mine has grown to a rather outrageous scale.

There are not only narrow and cramped mines with interconnected tunnels, but also a huge pit structure in the center, which is filled with various construction platforms and elevators from top to bottom, and is bottomless.

Of course, this huge pit was not entirely formed by human excavation. The ruins originally buried underground had an intricate structure, which played a certain role in the mining and excavation of the city of Charlton.

At this point, we can actually make a rough deduction: the severe earthquake in Charlton City must be related to this huge mine.

So, after searching the entire city of Charlton and the surrounding areas but still failing to find any trace of the Eternal School, the protagonist, guided by the plot, was forced to go deep into the Abyss Mine.

Due to the damage caused by the earthquake, the direct access to the mine from Charlton City has been completely blocked, so players actually need to take a detour, enter the mine from the suburban area of ​​Charlton City, and continue to explore deeper, and finally open up a passage from the mine to Charlton City and return.

During the exploration of the mines, various most powerful monsters gathered almost together.

There are powerful beast miners, crazy mining puppets, guard puppets responsible for ensuring safety, and many indescribable abyss creatures.

There were originally some eggs of unknown creatures in the abyss mine. They were captured and raised by humans in the ancient ruins, but most of them became extinct in the disaster that destroyed the ruins. Only a few eggs were sealed and kept in eternal sleep under special conditions.

As the earthquake occurred, many criss-crossing cracks appeared above the mine. The change in environment caused the eggs to begin hatching, and they continued to develop and grow with the nourishment of blood, flesh and crystals.

Although it is still a larva, it is already enough to pose a fatal threat to players.

In addition to this, players will encounter more and more corpses of members of the Eternal School.

They all wear a special birdcage on their heads, which is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. According to the explanation in the plot, this was originally an important invention of the Starry Sky School, namely the "Thought Synchronizer". This special device can make the wearer's mind oscillate at the same frequency, so as to better amplify their own thoughts and receive signals from the universe.

But soon, the Starry Sky School decided to abandon this dangerous invention because it caused some changes within the Starry Sky School.

But as an eternal school that will stop at nothing, this group of extremists are happy to try any possibility, so they use this mind synchronizer to connect each other's spirits and receive signals from the universe.

These members of the School of Eternity seemed to have died not too long ago, and their bodies had not completely decayed. It was basically certain that their collective death occurred at the same time as the disaster in Charlton City.

The deeper they explored, the more signs of violent mining of the crystal ore they found, and the more corpses of members of the Eternal School they found.

Although all the crystal ores underground can be used as energy, according to the requirements of the city of Charlton, the mining of crystals obviously has a very strict priority order.

Just like coal resources, some are shallow coal with high purity, good effect, and are relatively easy to mine; while others are deep coal mines, which are mixed with more impurities, have relatively poor effects, and are more difficult to mine.

The same is true for crystal ore.

Some crystals are located on the shallow surface and can be quickly mined with a simple miner's hoe. These crystals are of high purity and will break if a slight external force is applied. They can be easily crushed into powder and then used as energy for dolls or carriages.

The other part of the crystals is located in the deep part, almost integrated with the stone, with a high impurity content, and requires very violent means to mine. After mining, it also requires complex processes to purify it into powder and use it as energy.

Therefore, Charlton City requires that high-purity crystals in shallow areas be mined first, while deep crystals will not be mined for the time being.

On the one hand, for economic reasons, these crystals are reserved for mining when the refining technology is more advanced; on the other hand, it is also to ensure the stability of the geological structure of the entire mine, leaving these crystals that are integrated with the ore to provide a more stable support.

But now, these deep crystal mines are also full of traces of violent mining, especially many huge stone pillars that were originally used for support purposes have been dug up.

There is no doubt that this must have been done by the Eternal School. They infiltrated and controlled the mines a long time ago and conducted mysterious experiments here.

So where did these violently mined deep crystal ores go? The Eternal School probably didn't want to refine them into energy, because the current technology is not mature, and it is difficult and expensive to refine.

Moreover, members of the Eternal School of Death clearly exhibit certain characteristics, and their locations of death seem to be deliberately arranged, as if they are part of some mysterious ritual.

Finally, after going deep into the core area of ​​the mine, the players saw members of the Eternal School who were more densely packed and arranged in specific shapes, and a vague truth emerged before their eyes.

The disaster at Charlton Town evidently arose from the dangerous experiments of this school.

Although unclean blood itself will bring disaster and destruction, this process is relatively slow if left to develop naturally.

The fact that the civilization that housed this relic was able to develop to such a scale shows that even though they endured the curse of unclean blood, they still existed for a long time.

Based on this estimate, even if Charlton City continues to develop and utilize unclean blood, it will be able to develop stably for at least a few decades.

But it is clear that the arrival of this disaster has been greatly advanced due to more advanced technology and more researchers.

Out of their fanatical faith, the Eternal School devised a terrible plan.

They secretly infiltrated the mines through mind control and conducted horrific experiments there.

They mined deep crystal ore destructively, even digging up the original supporting structure. They did not intend to refine the ore and use it as a regular energy source for the puppets, but simply piled it together and prepared an unprecedented terrible ritual.

Through such a huge amount of crystals, all members of the Eternal School connected their consciousness together, and through the flesh and blood structures they created, they temporarily combined "a body with powerful carrying capacity like an ancient god" with "a spirit as powerful as an ancient god".

And this moment attracted the attention of the real ancient god.

A huge amount of crystallized energy exploded instantly, causing a strong earthquake; the gaze of the ancient god spread through the flesh and blood structures of the Eternal School and their interconnected consciousness network, not only killing all members of the Eternal School instantly, but also affecting the entire city of Charlton.

As a result, those humans who were more affected by the unclean blood instantly turned into monsters or zombies, and the puppets also fell into madness due to crystallization. Only a few people who were less affected by the unclean blood survived.

But even so, they experienced drastic mood swings and severe mental trauma.

He survived by chance and was forced to hide in the room and dared not leave.

In order to eliminate these influences as much as possible, the player controls the protagonist to fight a fierce battle with the "created ancient god construct" and eventually hunt it down.

But even so, the disaster was not over.

Those members of the Eternal School were not really dead, they seemed to be trapped in a special thought space. Therefore, the player entered an illusory space by touching the corpse of the flesh and blood construct.

Here, the people and creatures of the ancient ruins seem to have all been resurrected and returned to their heyday, and members of the School of Eternity are mixed in with them. Players need to find and kill all members of the School of Eternity to completely unravel this illusion.

After a difficult battle, the player finally got rid of the illusion and obtained the special "Heart of the Ancient God".

Judging from the item description, this is the broken heart of an ancient god.

It does not come from the real ancient god, but is a naturally formed lump inside the corpse after the flesh and blood structure is combined with the thoughts of the members of the Eternal School, and it possesses some of the power of the ancient god.

So the player opened a path back to Charlton City from the inside and returned to the cathedral again.

You have to use this broken heart of the ancient god to face the ancient god who is staring at Charlton City and fight with him.

Only by defeating this powerful ancient god can the city of Charlton be freed from eternal despair.

Before actually meeting this ancient god, players must ultimately defeat the powerful Lie Hunter.

Although I had fought him once before, this guy ran away.

And this time is the final battle.

Only after defeating the Lie Hunter can you face the final boss.
