"—Ughhhhh!!"

Chen Lun was awakened by a shrill scream.

He quickly got up from the ground, knelt down and looked up, and found that the woman in the opposite prison was crying in pain, half of her body was hidden in the darkness, and flickering eyeballs kept appearing on her legs exposed to the firelight. son.

Densely packed and horrifying.

"Go back! Let's break your bones again!"

With a yell, Chen Lun's sight was blocked by a tall and thin black figure.

Looking up, he found a guard standing in front of him across the cell, looking down. Under the backlight, Chen Lun was very uncomfortable and uncomfortable with the malicious cold eyes of the other party, but the situation was stronger than others, so he had to lower his head and go back to the corner of the prison and sit down without saying a word.

"Ignorant idiot! Poor thing! Don't be so curious about everything..."

The guard looked around at the other people in the prison, his mustache slightly raised.

"You are not allowed to look outside! If you look at it, chop off a finger!"

He supported the dagger at his waist, and the handguard and scabbard rubbed against each other, making a crisp sound.

Everyone in the prison backed away in fear, turning their heads not to look at the scene outside.

The guard snorted coldly, then turned around in satisfaction, but he was still cursing. Chen Lun vaguely heard him complaining about Brother Will's words.

"Quick! Move faster!"

"The sacrifice of the No. 4 team is distorted, take her away and deal with it!"

Intensive footsteps sounded in the corridor outside. Chen Lun kept his head down, raised his eyes and looked out of the corner of his eye. Three or four guards in fur coats and brimmed hats picked up the woman in the opposite prison, threw her into a sack and carried her away. gone.

They moved so quickly that no time was wasted, as if something terrible would happen if they slowed down.

Chen Lun slowly exhaled the turbid air in his chest, he had actually secretly guessed the truth.

According to his many years of game experience, that woman was probably contaminated by mystery, her body was distorted, and when her sanity value dropped to 0, she would completely lose control and turn into a monster.

At that time, the person must be dead, and only her body is moving, a mass of rotten flesh with a mad will...

"What should I do……"

Chen Lun began to think.

Because he was in the dungeon at the moment, he didn't know the time of the outside world at all, but the sacrifice at night must be getting closer and closer.

Sacrifice!

This term is not difficult to understand, but in the magical world of "Age of Mysteries", which includes Cthulhu and New Ghost Story, it is just a general term, not a sacrifice to God in a simple sense.

Chen Lun knew very well that the objects of the Red Apple Church's sacrifices were the "strange things" that they spent a lot of manpower and material resources to collect, and the sacrifices were all kinds of living things including living people.

But in a sense, this so-called sacrifice is more like a research.

The Red Apple Church has been secretly researching [Surprise] in an attempt to fully grasp the mysterious power contained in [Scary].

Chen Lun's identity at this time is also the "sacrifice" of the "sacrifice" that Brother Will's team is in charge of, according to the guard!

[Surprises] can be understood as spiritual treasures in "The Age of Mysteries", but different from spirit treasures in "The Age of Mysteries", they are more weird and uncontrollable. The birth method is unknown, the effective mechanism is unknown, the characteristics and usage methods are all unknown...

Even the form of existence is unknown.

Small objects that can be seen everywhere, such as pens, coffee cups or a gun... slightly larger tables, chairs and even houses and cars. Of course, it may also be a living animal, such as a worm, a kitten or a puppy, or something flying in the sky and swimming in the sea... It can even be a person.

And these [creepy things], unless you spend a lot of human life to research and trial and error, no one dare to use it easily, because it is very likely that you will die inexplicably before you start using it.

Seeing the distorted performance of the woman just now, Chen Lun thought of a famous "creepy thing". The characteristic of people polluted by it is that they are covered with eyeballs, and that "creepy thing" is also from the red apple church.

"If it's really that thing..."

Chen Lun wiped his cold sweat, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

In his previous life, he was not a powerful player. Unlike most people, he was not keen on the pursuit of strength. He was only in the middle echelon. Instead, he was more fascinated by things like the background story and world view in the game.

His favorite thing, apart from digging out the side stories in the game and traveling around to experience the local customs, is to read various interesting posts about the world of "The Age of Mysteries" on the forum.

Chen Lun remembered that he had read a detailed introduction about the Red Apple Church, in which there was information about that [Surprise].

【A-level creepy back-sun potted plant】

Transformed after death by a saint who betrayed the belief in the sun, it has a strong repulsive force, especially for the supernatural beings in the solar system.

According to legend, the Tourmaline King City of the Cuisul Empire underwent a reconstruction, and it was the culprit.

This [trick] belongs to the dead nun Floy, one of the bosses of the Red Apple Church.

"The blood rained on me, and I watched the sunflowers bow their heads after the rain, and the sunflowers watched the sun burn and die." - Floyd

...

"I hope [Back-Sun Potted Plants] won't be here..."

Chen Lun only felt that he was sweating more and more, and his back was soaked, with a greasy cold feeling.

"I don't want to be unlucky enough to be buried with these people!"

"We have to find a way to escape quickly!"

Calculated according to the timeline, the [Back-Sun Potted Plant] at this time has not yet been fully grasped by the Red Apple Church. They will definitely continue to frantically invest in living people for trial and error, but the problem lies in the degree of danger of this [A-level monster] It's too high, like a nuclear bomb that will explode at any time.

It's fine for this group of damned lunatics to keep probing on the verge of destruction, but I can't become a fish in a pond.

Chen Lun controlled himself to calm down, took a few deep breaths, and thought seriously.

He remembered the coma caused by the loss of SAN value after witnessing the woman's transformation, and it seemed that he activated his panel at the last moment.

"Yes, panel!"

Chen Lun quickly called out his character panel, intending to find a way to save himself from it.

After spending a few minutes browsing through it carefully, he frowned tightly.

The first thing that caught his attention was his own NPC template and the countdown to the public beta.

The original surprise that appeared on the panel faded a lot in an instant, because he seemed to have lost his identity as a player and the resurrection ability he relied on as the fourth natural disaster.

This also means that he has only one life.

The countdown reminds Chen Lun of the current time point, before the prologue of the game, that is, the year before the 1.0 version of the Red Apple Church ravaged the empire.

This means that the Red Apple Church is still dormant, and its strength is far inferior to that of its heyday.

On the other hand, because the headquarters of the Red Apple Church is in Wangcheng, they dare not invest a lot of human life in trial and error under the eyes of the royal family. Therefore, Chen Lun guessed that most of the prisons he was in were church branches in remote areas. department.

"It also means there are understaffed here, which is good news."

But Chen Lun did not let down his vigilance, because he does not have any extraordinary abilities yet, he is just an ordinary person.

As for the [Fisherman LV3] that comes with it, forget it, do you want him to perform high-end fishing skills for the vicious church guards?

"The key lies in the charm value..."

What the charm value affects is the NPC's natural affection for the players, together with the willpower, insight and luck, it is divided into special attributes. The special feature of these four attributes is that they cannot be improved by adding points, so they are quite valuable.

But the key to what Chen Lun said was not that he wanted to use his own charm to influence the guards to let him out, but the 2 points added in the brackets after the charm value.

"This is the charm value attached to the equipment!"

Of course, Chen Lun is no stranger to this. On the contrary, he is too familiar with it, so he saw the key at a glance.

He quickly stood up and groped around himself.

But like other arrested people in the prison, Chen Lun only had a tattered linen jacket with a cloth belt tied around his waist.

"what exactly is it?"

Chen Lun frowned, and suddenly looked down——

Around his neck is a handmade shell necklace.
