I have a Synthesizer

The building in front of me looked somewhat like a church from my previous life, but with some differences, such as strange statues at the four corners of the building.

These statues didn't look like normal creatures at all, but more like sealed demon beasts.

"Let's go. We're looking for people anyway, and we have to search all the buildings here. Let's go inside and take a look."

As a knight, Becky was naturally at the front of the group.

She led the way in, with Klein and Eric standing behind her.

Looking inside the church, it was still somewhat bright because the windows were mostly shattered.

The whole room smelled of dust. Perhaps because of the long time, some of the wooden furniture was already decaying.

Although they hadn't dissolved with time, they would crumble into dust with just a light touch.

"Nothing found."

"Nothing found."

"Me neither."

After searching the entire first floor and exploring every room, the three of them didn't find any useful information. It just seemed like an ordinary church.

Becky looked towards the second floor and said,

"Let's go up and take a look."

While going upstairs, Becky suddenly stepped on something hard among a pile of leaves and debris. She bent down and picked it up.

It was half a skull, and there were finger marks where the skull was broken. Was it broken open by some creature?

Although there was no flesh left, the hardness of the skull was still there. Judging from the time, it shouldn't have been too long ago.

Eric looked at the half skull in Becky's hand and said,

"Could it have been done by some wild demon beast, sucking the brain marrow?"

However, Klein, who was on the side, denied this idea.

"No, it doesn't look like it. The finger marks on this skull are arranged too neatly. It seems like the other party deliberately made the skull look like this."

Becky put the skull aside.

"It's useless to guess now, let's keep looking."

The three continued to walk towards the depths of the church. Klein could feel some changes in temperature here.

Although this area in front was illuminated by sunlight from the windows, the temperature was obviously much lower than on the first floor.

Klein was just about to remind his two teammates, but before he could speak, Eric said first,

"Be careful, there's a change in temperature."

Klein nodded. It seemed that Eric's slacking off during the mission wasn't too excessive.

… …

The group finished exploring the second floor and still found nothing. They stopped in front of the staircase leading to the third floor.

It was actually locked here, and although the lock didn't look new, it wasn't rusty.

The three looked at each other. It was very strange to have a lock in the wilderness, so there might be something on the third floor.

Just as Klein was about to take out the universal key to see if he could open the door,

he suddenly felt a little dazed, for some reason. Although it was only for a moment, he felt a sense of detachment in his vision and spirit.

But when he came back to his senses, everything around him didn't seem to have changed.

Klein mobilized his magic power and moved his body. It didn't seem like there was any problem. What had just happened?

It seemed unlikely that a second-tier mage, a special mage with more than 160 magic power, who had also been baptized by the chaotic arcane energy,

would suddenly feel uncomfortable.

So, what happened to him just now?

… …

Klein and Becky naturally followed his gaze, but there was only a broken window there, nothing else.

"What's wrong?"

"There was something there just now!"

Klein frowned. His perception ability should be okay, so why did Eric sense something just now, but he didn't notice anything?

Becky had already gripped her greatsword in one hand.

"Let's go up and take a look, and we'll know what's going on."

For some reason, Klein felt that Eric and Becky's expressions were a little stiff. Could it be that he was seeing things?

Arriving on the third floor of the church, the temperature here was even lower than on the second floor. The further they went, the lower it got. Klein even felt a little cold.

Logically speaking, although he was a mage, his physique was no weaker than a warrior's. It was a bit too much to feel cold.

Klein frowned and walked forward along the corridor.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out from the room on their left.

Becky immediately rushed over with her sword, and it was too late for Klein to stop her.

"Becky! Come back!"

Becky seemed to completely not hear Klein's words and rushed into the room on the left.

"Ah!" Becky's scream came from the room.

Klein frowned, but didn't act rashly. He felt that something was strange here.

Just then, Eric called out to him.

"Klein! Behind you!"

Klein also subconsciously looked at Eric. He found that Eric's gaze was looking behind him with some horror.

A shadow gradually enveloped him. Klein knew that there was something behind him.

But he hadn't noticed it just now. Was his perception ability fake?

He slowly turned around, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

A monster covered in human faces was right in front of him, and countless tongues with barbs roamed around him.

Suddenly, the screams of Becky and Eric came from behind him.

Klein wanted to turn his head, but the monster in front of him didn't allow him to be distracted in the slightest.

Dozens of bone blades stretched out from Klein's back, but they were blocked by the monster in front of him with those barbed tongues.

Just as Klein wanted to use the power of shadow, a sharp pain came from his neck.

Klein turned his head, and it was a face with its eyes gouged out and its features distorted.

He felt his blood flowing away, and his body gradually stiffened, until he was killed by the two monsters in front of him.

… …

Klein suddenly opened his eyes, forcibly breaking free from the moment of death.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the three of them were still standing in front of the iron door leading from the second floor to the third floor.

His face was quite strange. Was he hit? When?

Was everything that just happened an illusion? Klein frowned, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Interesting.

No wonder his perception was useless just now, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Not only illusions, but even thoughts, reactions, strength, and even the point of fear, seemed to be controlled by the other party.

"Being able to control the five senses, this hidden guy has something!"

At this time, Klein, who had been in a slacking state, became interested.

He had nothing to fear. If he really had the strength, who would use illusions?

"Klein? Did you eat too much at noon?"

Eric looked at him strangely, not knowing what this guy was muttering to himself like an idiot.

Klein also looked at Eric and Becky. The two of them seemed completely normal and were not affected by any illusions.

Klein thought to himself.

"Was the illusion just now specifically targeted at me alone? Did they think I was special? Or did they not want me to go up?"

It's almost on the shelves, a little flustered! The brag about updating 10 chapters has already been blown out, I have no confidence at all whether I can write it, folks.
