It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

The symbol on the parchment glowed again, and then a pale flame emerged from it.

Amelia held the parchment until it turned to ashes, but there was no sign of burns on her hands.

"Can we talk now?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I want you to help me kill a beast."

Amelia said.

"Beast? Then why not let the hunters from the church come? They should be more professional than me, right?"

"Because the identity of this beast is sensitive."

Amelia replied.

"Who?"

"He used to be a high-ranking official in the church, and he was loved and trusted by everyone. I can't let the church's people hunt him down. This will cause a great psychological burden on the people in charge of the execution, and it will also affect the church's reputation."

Amelia didn't answer directly.

"Are there no people in the church who have transformed into beasts?"

he asked strangely.

Father John also belongs to the church, right?

Since he can transform into a beast, there is no reason why other people in the church cannot transform into beasts.

"The church has been advocating the idea of ​​treating beast disease through blood therapy, and has achieved excellent results. At least among the church's leadership, there have been no cases of beast transformation so far. That person... had an accident."

Amelia explained.

"is it?"

Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

If the other party had not proposed a deal, he would probably have directly exposed the relationship between blood therapy and beast disease.

But since there is now a possibility of a peaceful solution, he is not so low in EQ.

As for overthrowing the Blood Healing Church and rescuing the residents of At, it is not impossible to do so, but we have to wait until Liu Zheng completes his mission.

Speaking of which, this should be considered a change in the original plot trend, and should be able to help Xia Kai gain a lot of dungeon evaluation points.

If we really intend to do it at that time, we have to find a way to squeeze out the surplus value of this kid and not let him win easily.

When I think about how much he has suffered and how much he has paid, and now he is still struggling in the novice copy.

Not only did Xia Kai successfully pass the novice copy, but now he was about to pass the second copy easily. Liu Zheng felt deeply angry.

"Well, I have to find a reason to beat that kid up. How about sending him to the Church of Pain for a little baptism?"

He thought maliciously.

Xia Kai, who was waiting outside the main hall, suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help shivering.

“So, I need someone who has no connection with the church to relieve that person’s pain and cleanse the church.”

Amelia paused, then finally said those two words.

"shame."

She clenched the gold pendant in her hand.

"I see. I'm just helping you do dirty work. But people who do this kind of thing are usually silenced."

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

"Mr. Liu Zheng looks like a smart man, so I will communicate with you in a smart way."

Amelia smiled.

"If Master Beethoven had not offered to take you in as his apprentice, you might indeed have been silenced. But with Master Beethoven's endorsement, I will not risk being questioned by the guardians of the church."

"The contract I just used is one of the most precious among all the heritages of the Tomel civilization. If I were planning to kill you, I would not waste this holy relic."

She explained slowly.

"Reasonable."

He nodded.

"But since Beethoven intends to take me in as his apprentice, then am I not also a member of the church?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I can see that you will not accept Master Beethoven's invitation."

Amelia said.

"Oh? Why? Being the direct disciple of the chief hunter of the church is obviously much better than being a delivery man."

He raised his eyebrows.

"Master Beethoven was a noble and pure warrior who didn't think too much about the problem. But I am different. As the leader of the church, whether I like it or not, I have to consider it more comprehensively and deeply."

"A brilliant young man like you is sent out to do a job like purchasing something mysterious and powerful."

"Then there are only two possibilities."

"First, you're lying."

“Second, the level of restaurant you’re talking about is beyond imagination.”

"No matter which one it is, a church in a small place like Art can't keep talents like you."

Amelia talked.

"As expected of the Grand Master, your brain is sharp. Okay, I'll take this job."

Liu Zheng applauded.

"Where is the beast?"

he asked.

(End of this chapter)

279. Chapter 278 It’s Here

279.

"It's here."

Amelia said softly.

"Hmm? You mean him?"

Liu Zheng pointed in the direction of that gaze.

"No, that's my guard. It's right here, just not in the same field of view as us."

Amelia said.

"You mean, it's in another dimension?"

"Dimension? Yes, I think I know what you mean. A very exquisite word. If I were still in Karkarens Academy, I might recommend you to Master Albert."

Amelia said after chewing on the word.

"Then how do I get to the dimension where it is?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Since this world has gods and technology that can turn humans into beasts, it is not a problem to have black technology that can cross dimensions.

Amelia did not answer, but raised her hand and took down the skull on the main altar, holding it in her arms.

She pressed her face against the skull's facial features like a mother cradling her child or a wife cuddling her husband.

Ten seconds later, she placed the skull on the ground.

"Take that, and put this on."

Amelia pressed a switch and a hexagonal iron cage dropped from the ceiling.

Liu Zheng took off the hexagonal iron cage and found that it fit perfectly on his head.

His nostrils opened and closed slightly, as if he smelled some indescribable smell from the iron cage.

"Can you explain the principle first?"

He asked somewhat warily.

"Have you ever had a dream, young man?"

Amelia asked back.

“Yes, but rarely.”

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and said.

Apart from those bizarre dreams, all he could remember was the erotic dream.

"Then have you ever thought that dreams are actually real?"

Amelia said.

"have not thought."

He shook his head.

"Then do you believe it?"

"Believe."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation.

"Oh? Why?"

Now it was Amelia's turn to be surprised.

"Haha, if you've been through what I've been through, you'll believe anything."

He said with a pained look on his face.

There is nothing in the metropolis, it's just a dream world, just a sprinkle of water.

“Although I don’t quite understand it, as long as you believe it, communication will be much easier.”

Amelia had no intention of asking further questions.

Xue Yu had taught her enough secrets, and she no longer had the energy to explore more knowledge.

"To put it simply, the beast is trapped in the dream world, and this skull is the link between you and its dream."

Amelia said.

"What about this hexagonal iron cage?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This is a tool to protect your spirit. The dream world is strange and changeable. Without an iron cage to cover you, your spirit will be lost in endless dreams."

Amelia said.

"It sounds dangerous."

He curled his lips and said.

Things involving concepts like spirit, mind, and soul are basically not good things to deal with.

"It's really dangerous."

Amelia admitted frankly.

"But if it wasn't such a difficult task, it wouldn't be worth the price you offered, right, Mr. Purchaser from another place?"

Both the Grail of Tomel and the umbilical cord of the Son of God are priceless treasures and true holy objects.

Even if it was a high-quality blood gem, the church had to sacrifice the lives of countless hunters to obtain it.

If the beast had not meant so much to the church and Amelia herself, she would not have offered such a high price.
