Chapter 196 Echoes of Fear
Violet Empire, Fire Claw leads the southern territory
A skeleton that feels a little stunted is carrying a rusty knife and walking in front to open the way, followed by two people far behind They walked slowly and leisurely. They would stop and look around every distance, and then continue walking slowly along the path explored by the little skeleton in front of them, as if they were looking for something.
The man walking in front was wrapped in a dark blue cloak, his whole body was covered tightly, only a rotten and withered cheek was exposed, looking half dead and extremely scary.
Compared with the former, the rather petite girl in the back is much more normal. She has short, flaxen shoulder-length hair, and is wearing a somewhat old priest robe of the Church of the Sun. She has a dance between her fingers. A wisp of flames flickered on and off, the delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the gray eyes were full of confusion and confusion.
A few minutes later, with a soft cry from the girl, the flames between her fingers began to tremble violently without warning, and then spread forward quickly.
"Sudden rain!" The person in front immediately made a standing long jump to protect his butt. After landing, he quickly turned around and raised his hand, summoning a burst of torrential rain that exuded a slight coolness from the air. That blaze of light.
However, the overflowing divine power still burned the little skeleton not far away in the air. The already shaky skeleton was turned into a ball of ashes without any reaction.
"Sorry, Mr. Winter, I was distracted..."
The trainee priestess of the Sun Sect immediately bowed and apologized, while the other party was a half-human and half-ghost who could summon The skeletal, 'unclean' man who faintly exudes the aura of death would undoubtedly look very funny in the eyes of the natives of other innocent continents.
It is true that the necromancers in this world are not shouted out by everyone like in most settings, and they even have their own place in the magician guild. However, these minorities who are good at playing with souls and dealing with corpses all day long still do not Recognized by most churches and gods, especially clergy from the three camps of lawful, neutral, and good, except for a few influential celebrities with good reputations, they are happy to burn them Any necromancer who appears in his field of vision.
Among them, the Sun God Cult is the most radical. Their hostility towards the Necromancer has become completely indiscriminate. They basically follow the routine of attacking if they can beat them, and if they cannot beat them, go home and apply for support to continue fighting... …
This makes it even more obvious that there is something wrong with these two people, but they themselves don’t think there is anything inappropriate. After all, one is a player who has not yet established the local three views, and the other is The followers of a madman are not normal at all.
"It doesn't matter, the summoning time is coming soon anyway." Yidong waved his hand nonchalantly, and said with a smile in his voice that sounded like a broken radio: "It just so happened that my magic power has bottomed out, and I can come back after plastic surgery. "
After that, he activated his talent called [Boundary of Life and Death], and his body that was originally decayed and shriveled like a living dead gradually regained its youth, and his dry white hair quickly became Black and shiny, it completed the ultimate evolution from flesh-and-bone to a delicate and beautiful man in three seconds.
"No matter how many times I see your 'plastic surgery' and 'disfigurement', I still find them miraculous." Ai Fanye, a trainee priestess who followed a certain unbeliever, rubbed her eyes and sighed for an unknown number of times: "It's true. He is a friend of Sir."
Yidong rolled his eyes and curled his lips and said: "Why can even such a thing as 'I am magical' be attributed to that guy? I really don't know how he did it. You brainwashed me, tsk tsk, what a good little girl..."
He had taken off his hood at this moment, revealing a handsome face that could have debuted as an idol with a little packaging, and his voice was also He returned to normal, and at first glance he looked like he was still alive.
As long as Idong, an Eternal clan member, uses his talent to adjust himself to the state of 'living realm', it will be difficult for even a top-notch expert to see the nature of his 'body of death', but what does this have to do with The protagonist aura, the second male lead aura, the funny character aura, etc. are all different. They are just a kind of protection given to him by the system. After all, if he keeps wearing that Zombie image, Ito may be killed within twenty minutes of entering the game. He was hacked to death as a monster...
Of course, even if he is now disguised as a 'realm of life', there is no guarantee that he will not be recognized by a relevant expert who has confirmed his eyes, and then be hacked with a knife. die.
However, this probability is not high. Unless Idong has bad luck like the will of the universe (there is no metaphor or allusion here, please don't worry), it will still be difficult to discover its essence.
Let's get back to the point...
Xiao Ai was just slightly stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "Sir, he didn't brainwash me. He was even very opposed to me and me at the beginning. Cole's following, but I really want to repay him, even if I can only do a little bit. It’s okay, I want to repay sir, even if it means giving my life.”
“This is called brainwashing, but it’s okay, after all, if you hang out with him, especially the one you see in your eyes. "It's not easy even if you want to die." Yi Dong, who had heard about the Pato City incident before, shrugged. , he had a good impression of this girl whose life was saved by Mo Tan, and he also knew that the other party might not find any meaning in life other than repaying kindness for a while, so he didn't say anything more, just casually Changing the subject: "You just said 'I', isn't that boy named Cole just for To repay Mr. Tan Mo? "
Xiao Ai smiled: "Of course he is as grateful to Mr. Tan Mo as I am, but there is another reason, that is, he wants to resurrect our original A companion, Sir protected Lorna's soul, she is our good friend"
Yidong touched his nose, laughed sarcastically and stopped talking. He felt some strange emotions from Xiao Ai's words just now, and felt that it was better not to talk to this girl who was said to be timid and innocent in the past, but now is quite ignorant. Keep chatting on this topic.
The two continued to move forward in the forest, but the speed was a little faster than before. The walking-like movement before was just to facilitate someone to practice their skills. Now that Idong has used up all his magic power, value, their speed will naturally become faster.
Yes, that’s right. The meaning of the above passage is ‘No one can move faster than a skeleton’.
They arrived at the Fire Claw Territory not long ago. They have been searching here for about a day and a half, but they still have not found the 'body hiding place' that Mo Tan told Yi Dong before. This is because the latter neither knows the general direction nor the specific location (everyone knows the reason). On the other hand, the Fire Claw leader has recently sent a large number of soldiers to station at the border, which also makes the search difficult. many.
“But the main problem is still with him!” Yidong, whose physical strength was more than half exhausted, sat next to a bush and gritted his teeth and said, “He told me to come here to look for dead people, but the exact location was still unclear. I don’t know anything about it, but you’re so stupid to let me smell it, I’m not a dog!”
Xiao Ai, who was leaning against a small tree, blinked: "I think sir must have his own considerations, well, it may be that the location is inconvenient to explain clearly, or it may mislead others if it is regarded as a destination. Maybe a magical barrier~"
[No, girl, he really just has no sense of direction at all! He couldn't understand it just because he couldn't find north, couldn't remember the way, and was blind without a map! 】
Yidong roared in his heart, but on the surface he laughed twice and said nothing more.
However, the two people who have been found since the day before yesterday have ruled out many places, so theoretically, if what Mo Tan said is true, Yi Dong and Xiao Ai should be able to find those quilts in a short time. After all, one of them is a necromancer and the other is a priest, so they are relatively sensitive to the breath of the dead.
After resting for ten minutes, the two began to search again. They accelerated their pace because soldiers from the Fire Claw Territory were likely to appear nearby after the sun went down, which would cause great resistance to the two of them. , but Yidong thinks that if he is lucky, the results should be available before dark.
...
Two hours later, the two stopped almost at the same time.
"We seem to have found it." Yidong shrugged at Xiao Ai, and then his whole body quickly changed into a flesh-and-blood connection mode, and he glanced in the direction to his right.
The latter nodded slightly: "I feel it too, let's go, Mr. Winter."
A moment later
"Holy shit!" Yidong's eyes widened and he stared blankly at the empty space in front of him: "What's going on!" Xiao Ai froze on the spot, looking at the indescribable scene not far away without even a word. Can't tell.
Countless dried blood was splashed radioactively on the ground, as if a living person had been twisted and exploded in the air like a twist. A large number of rotten meat, internal organs and countless pieces of the largest Bones less than one finger long are everywhere, making it impossible to imagine what happened here not long ago...
It's not a good thing!
"It's... very strange here." Xiao Ai's reaction speed was much faster than that of Yi Dong. She looked around, then covered her mouth and nose and whispered: "These wrecks look like It has existed for a long time, but it has not been dealt with by the nearby beasts. No, it is better to say that there are no wild beasts wandering around here at all. Obviously we have encountered some before, but since half an hour ago, Nikachu has been connected. The little beasts that are everywhere can no longer be seen.”
It took Yidong a while to come back to his senses, and then he shuddered slightly: "I seemed to feel something very bad, and I vaguely saw some crazy pictures, but it seemed like there was nothing. , Um... It feels very painful, very bad, uh, damn... ah!"
He suddenly covered his eyes and fell to the ground. Upon seeing this, Xiao Ai quickly ran to Yi Dong's side. She looked at him worriedly, but she didn't know how to deal with this situation at all. It was true that she had some treatment methods, but Yidong was considered an undead creature now. After being tortured by the sun magic twice, even if she was fine, she would be fine. Son.
"I'm fine... I haven't lost any blood, and there's nothing negative... Uh-huh!" Yidong struggled to get up, but ended up collapsing in a headache that seemed to have not been attenuated by the system. Then he held his head and rolled wildly.
His character panel is very normal, with no changes in health and stamina, and no negative status on his body, but...
[Is the answer silent? 】
The cold voice rang in his ears, a bit familiar, but more of an uncontrollable fear. However, that fear did not seem to belong to Idong himself, but to someone else.
[Unable to control his own sin, he was even swallowed up by it...]
Idong couldn't help but move his trembling legs, and the scene in front of him quickly retreated, But he knew in his heart that he didn't move or run wildly. He was confused, but he didn't know what to do.
【But your ending cannot be changed, and sin cannot be escaped. 】
The body that was not moving was forcibly held in place, so was it running away or rolling in place?
[I’m very curious~ How do you feel now when you are suffering from both physical and mental collapse at the same time...]
Idong felt that he seemed to be crazy, but he was surprisingly sober and painful at the moment. And fear fading? Is the pain and fear increasing? The perspective and perception in his mind are gradually splitting into two.
Idong calmed down...
Because he has understood that everything he sees, hears and feels now has nothing to do with 'himself', that is something else. A person's memory, even though it is fragmented, is still a clear memory!
The body of that being is the pieces of flesh, blood, and bones around it, but his soul has completely collapsed. Only the unforgettable fear still carries some indescribable thing lingering here, unable to relief.
Even though it no longer exists, it is still inescapable.
"How is this possible..."
Idong fell to the ground in horror, his chest heaving violently. He was completely unable to understand what he saw, and he was completely unable to understand it. I agree with my guess, this is a complete paradox, a paradox that cannot exist even in this world of swords and magic!
The pain gradually subsided, and at the same time it became more and more crazy, but Idong, who had truly sensed the existence of 'self', gradually stopped trembling.
He has completely figured it out.
The wailing remnant and the pain and fear imprinted on this land... are not his own.
They don’t even exist!
【I thought I was a pretty gentle person~】
A pair of abyss-like eyes blinked lightly...
The somewhat familiar figure from the back gradually Traveling further and further away...
Eventually, everything became calm again.
"Mr. Winter! Mr. Winter!"

"It's great that you're okay. Just now, those things... …Gone!”
