Soul Echo

Zhong Ye The place where they met the undead was only half a day away from the nearest city. They left in the morning and arrived in the evening.

This distance made Lily Lieber frown. It stands to reason that if it is so close, it is impossible for the undead to appear, and even if there is, it will be wiped out.

With the strength of those undead, any church can easily destroy it by sending a squad.

But the fact is that a group of different kinds of undead gathered in the woods not far from the city. It takes half a day to take the carriage, but even on foot, it is only a day's journey at most.

Anyway, this kind of thing is so weird!

carriage came to the door of the adventurer's house. Under the guidance of the staff, Zhong Ye drove the carriage to the stables and asked Lillian and Lily to move the luggage out first, and then handle the carriage by themselves.

After taking care of the carriage and letting the two draught horses into the stable, Zhong Ye left the adventurer's house alone through the back door.

Finding his purse and the signs of the two draught horses in his pockets, and the long knife on his back, he laughed.

"Are you working so hard to pretend to be me just to escape?"

Just a few steps out of the adventurer's house, a cold voice came from behind , 'Zhong Ye' hurriedly looked back.

Zhong Ye walked out from the side alley, looked coldly at the pretender who looked exactly like him, tilted his head, "I thought you were going to do something, but in the end, You just want to run away?"

The masquerader broke out in cold sweat, and quickly took off the long knife and held it in his hand.

Zhong Ye walked over slowly as if he didn't see it.

Under the icy gaze, the pretender took a step back, pressing down on the handle of the knife, trying to pull the long knife out of its sheath.

However, no matter how much effort he exerted, the veins on the back of his hands were sticking out, and he still couldn't pull 'Today's Moon' out of the scabbard.

Zhong Ye was approaching. In a panic, the pretender suddenly threw a punch and hit Zhong Ye in the face, but immediately, he felt a pain in his wrist and his entire arm was paralyzed.

—and it's spreading upwards!

The other hand grabbed the scabbard and snatched the long sword from the pretender.

"You, not a living person?"

There are abnormalities in the feel of the blow, the heartbeat sound in the pretender's body, and the sound and speed of blood flow.

This reminds Zhong Ye of the group of undead he encountered last night, so he has this question.

The pretender didn't answer Zhong Ye's question, flicked his numb arm, turned his head and ran away.

No, if it is not a living person, why is its body still 'alive'?

Zhong Ye pondered, and with a flick of the long knife, the scabbard flew out and smashed on the back of the fleeing pretender. some distance.

Seeing that face that was exactly the same as himself was so embarrassed, Zhong Ye didn't feel the slightest discomfort, because he knew very well that this would never happen to him.

Zhong Ye walked over, picked up the scabbard, grabbed it on the pretender's shoulder, and turned it over.

But at this moment, black smoke suddenly poured out from the seven apertures of the pretender.

The moment he observed the appearance of black energy, Zhong Ye let go of the pretender and instantly withdrew a few meters away.

The black smoke from the pretender's seven orifices hovered in the air for a while and flew into the distance. Only then did Zhong Ye realize that it was not spell.

The black smoke was flying very fast. When Zhong Ye realized it, he had already crossed several streets. Even if he started now, he couldn't catch up.

Then, looking at the body, Zhong Ye was surprised to find that the body had shrunk, and the sound of heartbeat and blood flow had disappeared.

"...painted skin?"

unfathomable mystery, he thought of this legend.

In Earth, this is a legend, but in Easterland in the Dan world, there is such a type of monster, without a body, born as a Spirit Physique, if you want to grow and survive, you need to parasitize in a living body, When 'mature', they occupy that body.

At this time, they also have the ability to break away from the body and survive independently. However, their ability is only to occupy a better body.

Zhong Ye approached the shriveled 'skin', looked at it carefully, and immediately found that the face was not his, and its body had shrunk a lot. A straight knife is simply a stick.

“A blind eye?” Zhong Ye eyebrow raised .

This matter is getting more and more complicated, why are Easterland monsters appearing in the west? And when he was investigating the 'altar', he changed into his appearance and mixed into his team.

However, the answers to all this are unknown after the escape of the 'painted skin'.

Took a deep breath gently, Zhong Ye lifted the soft skin and turned back to the adventurer's house.

He didn't know where the church in the city was, and in that case, reporting it to the Adventurer's House was pretty much the same.

When he came to the lobby of the adventurer's house with his skin bag in hand, he startled many people.

Although for 'painted skin', it is just a skin, it is also a human body.

However, under the erosion of the 'painted skin', the original soul of the original owner of this body was swallowed up and turned into food for the 'painted skin' to grow, and even the body was obtained by the 'painted skin'.

Zhong Ye did not encounter 'painted skin' during the beta test, but through the game forum, he could also learn some information about Easterland.

After he made the "Monster Pictorial Book", many people also helped to supplement other monster information that was not recorded in the "Illustrated Book", including 'painted skin'.

"...This is a monster from Easterland?"

After listening to Zhong Ye's description, the receptionist stood up from the chair, looked over the counter, looked towards A pouch placed on the ground.

Glancing at it, she sat back again, with lingering fears.

That's too terrifying. Are all Easterland monsters like this?

"No..."

Zhong Ye frowned, and explained the characteristics of 'painted skin' to the receptionist, then he saw the woman's face became more terrified .

"The light of shelter is above, this is too evil!"

The receptionist muttered, not daring to look at the leather bag on the ground again.

"Then what? What happened? Did you defeat it?"

Zhong Ye shook the head, "It escaped, I don't know where, so... ..."

"Zhong?"

Lily walked down the stairs, looked at the corpse lying on Zhong Ye's footsteps, swallowed, "This is you Did he kill him just now? What did he do?"

Zhong Ye pursed his lips slightly, and had to explain it again, hearing that it was disguised as Zhong Ye, and that it was the one who brought them here When they were in a city, Lily's expression became extremely frightened.

"...But I've been following behind. When it's ready to move, I can react, so you don't have to worry."

Even if Zhong Ye is so comforting, Lily I still feel like I have one's hair stand on end.

Glancing at the skin on the ground, resisting the thought of stepping back, Lily looked up towards Zhong Ye and asked, "By the way, did you just say that it escaped?"

"Yes, it escaped." Zhong Ye nodded, "I suspect it has something to do with the undead that appeared in that place before, and just wanted to torture it, it escaped."

"Undead? "The receptionist was stunned.

Zhong Ye captured her panic, "What do you know?"

The receptionist pursed his lips, "There have been some undead around the city recently, and they are still being captured by people. Created..."

Only now, it seems that these undead were not created by 'human beings', but by monsters from Easterland?

"Then have you reported this news?" Lily asked anxiously.

She didn't hear any news when she was in Paris. Although as a Princess, these news might not reach her ears, but before leaving Paris, she deliberately inquired if there was anyone around her. What a novel thing, but did not know any information related to it.

Strange! Too strange!

Everything seems to have gotten weirder since I left Paris!

The receptionist didn't know why Lily was so anxious, so she replied with a little doubt: "We have reported these things to the lord..."

——So, it is the 'Lord' '?

Is there a problem with the lord of this territory?

hearing this, Zhong Ye frowned.
