Start a core cabin

Under the pale moonlight, there was no sound in the forest.

Holding a hammer in his hand, Duanmuhuai strode in the dark forest. The lights on his head illuminated the dark forest passage, and he could clearly see the broken stone pillars wrapped around the vines in front of him.

right here.

Duanmuhuai stared at the stone pillar, his eyes became serious.

After all, the elf scouts are engaged in intelligence, and they are still more proficient than Alisa in this area. Although she didn't understand what Duanmuhuai wanted to do, she still provided Duanmuhuai with information on several haunted places near the City of Silver.

Including this Luoyue Forest.

According to the elf scouts, this forest was once home to an evil necromancer long ago, who was later wiped out by soldiers. Then there were rumors of haunted here—of course, it was not just rumors, mercenaries, merchants, and patrols all reported hearing frightening wailing and screaming here, and some people witnessed ghosts in the depths of the forest. Lights and music from everywhere.

The lord also sent someone to investigate, but there was no response. After that, the place was abandoned.

Duanmuhuai came here, of course, not because of curiosity or completing side missions. On the contrary, he came to find the power to defeat the god of filth.

Among the evil gods of chaos, the god of filth is actually one of the most difficult gods to deal with—although even the evil gods of chaos are difficult to deal with, but if Duan Muhuai is to rank them, the god of filth can at least rank second .

The reason is in its very nature.

Generally speaking, when most people see spreading viruses and plagues, they will think that the god of filth is a symbol of death and destruction, but in fact it is not the case at all. Although the god of filth does not have the powerful power of the god of tyranny, nor does he have the weird magic of the god of deceit, but he is unique in manipulating and deploying viruses invisible to the naked eye. There are even rumors that all the viruses in this world, From small colds to large plagues, they are all masterpieces of the god of filth.

Not only that, but the god of filth is quite fraternal. Unlike other evil gods, believers need to go through many tests and even go through the baptism of blood and fire before they can be recognized. , whether it is a nobleman or a warrior, the god of filth will open his corrupt and smelly arms, embrace these poor little lives in his arms, and give them equal love.

Even for them, spreading viruses is not an evil act. On the contrary, they believe that spreading viruses and infecting others with diseases and plagues is a way to join their warm and friendly family that treats each other equally regardless of class and race. means. Even those who died because of this will not be abandoned, their corpses will rot, and then nourish a new life, contributing to the life cycle of this world.

Life is endless.

Therefore, among the players, the God of Filth is also jokingly called Father and God of Life and Hope (dog head).

The fact is also true. Strictly speaking, from the perspective of viruses, the god of filth is indeed a kind father, but——its values ​​​​are incompatible with ordinary people.

This is like keeping pets. Most people like to keep cats and dogs, but some people like to keep maggots. Raising maggots together......that's the problem.

Therefore, the God of Dirt as the God of Life is very difficult to repel with ordinary methods. Even divine spells and holy light don't have a very good effect on its believers. Because even though these believers are rotten all over, are full of pus-filled swellings, and look disgusting, they are still living creatures, just like maggots, flies, and mosquitoes—the Holy Light cannot affect these things Functional.

Therefore, there are only two best ways to completely wipe out the followers and army of the Filth God.

One is to use fire, as long as they are all burned up, then there will be no problem.

In fact, after the plague apostle was wiped out, Duanmuhuai also asked the elf scouts to set up a fire in order to sterilize his Power Armor, and then burned it under the raging flames for a long time, and did not come out until it was confirmed that the disinfection was complete...

The other is to use the power of death of the undead.

The death power of the undead is an existence that acts on the soul level. It can completely extinguish the flame of life and turn all life into a silent dead land. Even viruses and even bacteria are no exception, no life can survive in the face of complete death.

It can be said that death is the best weapon against the god of filth and his followers. Because no matter how ugly and dirty they are, they are still alive—and the flames of life cannot escape the wind of death.

Of course, it is not easy to deal with undead, and the subduing undead and subduing vampire decks are both dangerous, because undead are dead things, and ordinary physical attacks are useless against them. At least you need a weapon or magic with elemental attack to be able to fight with it, otherwise, going in is just delivering food.

Duanmuhuai himself can only use psionic shock as a psionic skill, but fortunately his thunder hammer comes with lightning elemental damage, and the puppet deck is also regarded as part of the magic skill. No big deal.

I just don't know whether it's undead or vampires here.

From a certain point of view, vampires are more difficult to deal with than undead, but it is not without good things-if the player is transformed into a vampire, it is basically immune to the virus of the filthy god. In fact, in the game, before attacking the world of the god of filth, many players would deliberately let the vampire bite and transform themselves into undead creatures to be immune to the virus attack of the god of filth.

It's a big deal and then wash it back after you finish playing.

In reality, there is no such good thing.

Duanmuhuai didn't think that the elf scout's information was wrong. The reason was very simple. When the elf scout told him about this place, Duanmuhuai triggered the task of [Investigate Luoyue Forest].

Since there is a mission, it means that there is indeed something here.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai walked forward again, and Augis followed behind him silently like a shadow——this puppet girl has not spoken a word since she was summoned. Duanmuhuai felt like a robot.

Well, although from a certain point of view, she is indeed a robot.

Walking through the collapsed stone pillars, Duanmuhuai soon saw a dilapidated mansion. This is a four-story stone building. It seems that because of the fire, the whole mansion was charred and collapsed everywhere. gravel. The surrounding area was unusually quiet. Although it was in the forest, the chirping of birds and insects could not be heard at all, and there was not even the sound of the wind, as if the sounds of this world were completely blocked.

There seems to be nothing here......

Duanmuhuai walked to the gate and looked inside. The whole mansion was already empty, and even the walls were mostly collapsed, looking like a rotten corpse with almost only skeleton left. Even if you just stand outside, you can easily see the dilapidated rooms in the mansion that have been covered by vines and weeds.

“……………………”

However, at this moment, Duanmuhuai's ear suddenly caught a faint sob. He frowned, looked around, and then looked at Augis.

Augis, did you hear anything?

.........

Facing Duanmuhuai's question, Augis shook her head, and Duanmuhuai raised her head again. The cry seemed to be there, and it even made people wonder if it was her own hallucination—but Duanmuhuai knew very well, This is no hallucination.

Looks like we've come to the right place.

The corners of Duanmuhuai's mouth turned up slightly, and then he raised his right hand.

Start——soul resonance! !

The next moment, the scene in front of Duanmuhuai's eyes changed suddenly.

The originally dark and dilapidated mansion turned into a brightly lit building in an instant. Shining lights emerged from the windows, illuminating the entire mansion. The courtyard that was originally covered by weeds became completely different at this time. Not far away, a man with a haggard face was standing beside a tombstone, staring at the tombstone in front of him without saying a word.

Even if Duanmuhuai and Augustus came to him, the man still didn't notice it——this is normal, the man is just an afterimage in this space, just like the puppeteer in the puppet house before , Duanmu Huai could see him, but he couldn't interfere with him.

However, what the man did next surprised Duanmu Huai. The man suddenly picked up the iron pick next to him, and smashed it hard at the tombstone in front of him!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The man waved his hands frantically, smashing the tomb in front of him to pieces, then he opened the coffin inside, and hugged the girl lying in it tightly.

My daughter, you will not die, I will not let you die like this!

After saying this, the man turned around, picked up the girl's body, and walked into the mansion.

Seeing this, Duanmuhuai followed the man curiously into the mansion. However, the moment he opened the door and entered the mansion, the scene in front of him changed again.

In the living room in front of Duanmuhuai, a beautiful girl with long purple hair was curled up in the arms of the man, looking at the painting book in front of her by the burning fireplace. She was almost exactly the same as the corpse dug out from the grave by the man before, except that there was a huge bolt-like thing on the girl's head at this moment. The man, on the other hand, gently told his daughter the story in the picture book.

...In the end, this monster, because it pursues the same existence as itself, has no fixed place...

I always feel...it's a very sad story...

After listening to the man's narration, the girl showed a somewhat sad expression. The man, with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to touch the girl's head.

Yeah, but it's already amazing for you to understand this. I won't make you sad, I'll make you a perfect existence...

Um!

Hearing what the man said, the girl nodded happily.

Father, can you read me another story?

Of course, but it's late today, good boy, it's time to go to bed obediently.

Okay, my lord father, good night.

The girl stood up, then turned and left. The man, on the other hand, smiled and watched the girl's back go away. He didn't sigh until she disappeared. Then, he threw away the picture book in his hand and hugged his head tightly.

It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this!!

The man at this moment was completely gone from his previous gentleness and calmness. On the contrary, he was like a trapped wild animal, holding his head tightly and roaring in a low voice.

She's not my daughter! It's not.....!! She's just a brand new soul.....!! I know, I know it well.....!! Damn.....! !Damn………………!!!”

The man curled up into a ball, howling in a low voice, and gradually, his figure disappeared again.

Um……………

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and began to think. And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

Master, I don't understand.

What is it, Augis?

Hearing Augis' question, Duanmuhuai turned his head to look at her. This was the first time this puppet girl asked herself a question.

Why, that gentleman said that she is not his daughter? According to my observation, there is no difference between the two in terms of appearance, body shape, etc., except for the difference in decoration, I think the two are the same person.

Augis calmly expounded her opinion, obviously, she seemed to really have doubts about it.

Indeed, if it's just the appearance, there is no difference. But... Humans don't look at the outside, but the soul.

soul?

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Augis tilted her head in doubt.

That's right, the soul, character, those perceptual, intangible things are the basis of the relationship between the two parties.

I do not understand……………

Keep reading and you'll find out.

Duanmuhuai didn't explain much about Augis' doubts, but just patted her on the head lightly, and then walked out of the living room.

Boom boom boom!!!

At this time, suddenly, the closed door was knocked forcefully. At the same time, the purple-haired girl in pajamas also came down the stairs, looking at the door anxiously.

Father, what happened?

Good boy, hide quickly!

The man at this moment also lost his previous calm, and he asked the girl to hide in the underground secret room with a pale face. Then he turned around and came to the door, and opened it.

Wow!

The next moment, the door was roughly pushed open, and then dozens of heavily armed soldiers rushed in.

Finally found you, evil necromancer!!

What are you talking about? I'm not...

Stop talking nonsense!!

However, the man still tried to defend himself, but was interrupted by the leading soldier.

We've had a tip that you've been seen with your supposedly dead daughter! You evil wizard!

Hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically, while the leading soldier waved his hand vigorously.

Listen to my order and search the entire house immediately to find that living dead man!

You can't do this! Stop it!!

Seeing this scene, the man hurried forward to try to stop him, but the next moment, the soldier in the lead drew out his long sword and pierced through the man's body.

.........

The next moment, the man fell heavily on the ground with a bang, and the whole mansion also began to tremble at this moment!
