Chapter 564: Now it’s 50-50!
【Do you want to settle the mission points? 】
【Settlement! 】
After returning to the room, Duanmuhuai couldn't wait to start the task settlement. Soon, lines of information appeared in front of him.
[Task settlement in progress...Settlement completed]
[Haunted House Horror——Evaluation A]
[The Haze in Innsmouth——Rating A]
【Deadly Exhibition——Evaluation C】
[The source of fear——Evaluation A]
[Death Train——Evaluation B]
[Airship Murder Incident——Evaluation A]
【Dark City——-Rating S】

[A total of 320 soul points were obtained]
[The soul treasure chest can be opened every 50 points spent]
【Do you want to open the treasure chest? 】
The Dark City has the highest rating, probably because I took the trouble to travel to Antarctica. It can't be helped that the other tasks have low ratings. After all, even as Mary said, Duanmu Huai himself is not the kind of investigator who is good at outsmarting him. He prefers to solve problems with his fists. Of course, in addition to this, there is another important point, that is, after Duanmu Huai heard the information, he almost guessed the true face of the monster based on the knowledge he saw on the player forum. This is also very important.
After all, investigators generally need to look for clues in the case, and then determine the type of monster through records in diaries or certain magic books. This is also a part of the investigation. However, Duanmu Huai found it troublesome, so he simply omitted this link. After guessing what kind of monster it was, he directly fought it.
This is another reason why, except for the mission in Dark City, none of the other missions are rated S-level.
Well, 320 points, which means I can only open six boxes?
That's fine, it's a great success.
Then next, wash your hands and hair, then take a bath, burn incense, and pray.
It’s time to unbox!
The first draw————!
Click.
The treasure chest slowly opened, revealing golden light!
nice one!
"Click."
A black iron bar with only the head painted red fell to the ground.
"………………"
What is this?
Duanmuhuai silently picked up the crowbar.
What do I need this for?
Forget it, at least it's a melee weapon. Now that I've lost my cane, I might as well keep it for emergency use.
The second draw————!
………cigarette? What's the use of this thing? You want me to smoke a cigarette to calm down? Or should I give someone a cigarette to calm them down when I see them?
The third draw————!
Lighter, do you want me to use it with cigarettes? You are so considerate.
The fourth draw——!
Fruit knife.........for peeling apples?
The fifth draw—!
A blank diary, I don't write a diary, I'm not stupid.
The last draw! The character you have built up in the past depends on this time!
An ivory dice.
What the fuck…………
Looking at the pile of waste in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but curse.
What the hell is this! Why don't you give me some good stuff?
Golden Eyes seems to have no hope now. Alas...it's a big loss this time.
If I had known, I should have saved up enough to draw ten consecutive rounds, at least I would have guaranteed the minimum...
Silently complaining, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand to shut down the system. However, at this moment, he suddenly found another prompt popping up in the system.
[It was detected that the player killed the old ruler——Snake God Ig]
[Activate the special effects of Godslayer]
【…………The player gets a special title——Old God】
[Players obtain Old God traits]
[Old God Trait (Loss of Sanity): Your enemies cannot easily see through your true form. When they recognize your existence or look directly at you, they will lose 1D10/1D100 of sanity and fall into a (temporary/permanent) state of madness. 】
[Old God Trait (Past Vision): When you touch an object, you can obtain information about its past. The long river of history flows forward, but the past has no secrets in front of you]
“……………………”
MMP. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai just wanted to raise his middle finger. Well, this is even more outrageous than the fear aura. At least the fear aura will only cause one round of trembling even if the fear aura is passed, and will return to normal later. As a result, as long as others recognize my existence, they may fall into permanent madness?
This damn system is forcing me to die. I’ll go crazy just by looking at it. What’s going to happen?
I think I look like a human being, okay?
But look at what skills this Nima has?
Either tremble for a round or go crazy with fear.
Either fear of aura or loss of sanity.
Can't we get something with some charm? Being a pretty boy is better than this, isn't it?
Fortunately, this only works on the enemy, otherwise Duanmu Huai feels that he will have to wear a hood to go out in the future.
It's the kind of black ones worn by bank robbers in movies, with only the eyes and mouth left... Why do you think it's easier to get caught this way?
On the contrary, [Past Vision] is still somewhat useful, which reminds Duanmu Huai of Treachery. Remember that it can see the past and present at the same time, but cannot see the future. Well, now I have the same power. In other words, I am now at par with Treachery!
Speaking of which, I had used the ability [Past Vision] a few times in that copy, but at that time I couldn't activate it at will, but now it seems that I can use it casually.
Well…………
If I go into the bathroom and use [Past Vision], I can see the girl who used to take a bath in the bathroom... Is that right?
Well, this ability is somewhat interesting.
Duanmuhuai gave a silent thumbs up.
Just when Duanmu Huai was admiring his new abilities, Star Alliance quickly started taking action.
Due to Duan Muhuai's warning, the Star Alliance restrained its desire for expansion and only opened up colonies in several galaxies near its own galaxy. Of course, it's not like there aren't idiots who ignore the Star Alliance's ban and go to other galaxies to open up wasteland. How can I put it... Take responsibility for your own affairs, and don't come back to your mother crying when the Reapers come.
Li Longcheng also informed the Citadel of this matter through human representatives.
When they learned that the reaper army would arrive in three months, the representatives of the Citadel Council were also stunned and couldn't believe it.
"Are you serious? Representative Hackett?"
"Yes, I have handed over the specific information to the Citadel Council, and you should have seen it."
"However, even if this is the case, it can only confirm that an unidentified fleet is approaching, but it cannot prove that it is a reaper."
Facing the Citadel representative who frowned and stared at him dissatisfied, diplomat Hackett shrugged his shoulders.
"We in the Star Alliance have not proven to you that this is the reason for the Reaper fleet. In short, we have warned you. Whether you are willing to listen to the warning is your own business. From now on, the Star Alliance will all evacuate the Citadel , we will completely block the Star Alliance border and prepare for the battle with the Reapers - Oh, by the way, in order to prevent the Reaper fleet from advancing straight in, we will destroy all the mass relays connected to our star field. Please do this. Everyone understands.”
"What?!"
Hearing this, the other three parliamentary representatives were also shocked.
To be honest, until just now, they all thought this might be some kind of political maneuver by the Star Alliance, but destroying the mass relay was another matter. This is equivalent to completely isolating one's own race from other races, which is simply closing the country! You must know that without a mass relay, traveling to and from various galaxies is not a simple matter!
Star Alliance has made it clear that it will stay behind closed doors. Are the Reapers really coming?
At this time, the representatives of the other three tribes also began to be suspicious.
But Representative Hackett obviously did not intend to stay here for a long time. As a soldier, he originally did not like this kind of political mission. Fortunately, Li Longcheng had ordered him to return to the fleet. After all, when the Reapers were about to attack, it was pointless for the Star Alliance to send people to stay in the Citadel. They were just going to die.
"Wait, Representative Hackett."
Just when Hackett was about to turn around and leave, another Citadel councilor stopped him. He stared at Hackett and asked doubtfully.
"If what you say is true, then shouldn't it be more important for us to unite at this time and fight the enemy together?"
"What you said is absolutely true, but..."
Having said this, Representative Hackett gave a wry smile.
"I don't think it means anything."
“……………?”
"Our Commander Sherbert has previously reported to you the news about the coming of the Reapers. In fact, the Citadel was indeed attacked by the Reapers at that time, wasn't it? But you just took it as a It was Geth’s conspiracy, and the Citadel Council didn’t take any action after that.”
"This..."
After hearing what Representative Hackett said, the expressions on the faces of the representatives of the other three tribes looked a little stiff.
"As everyone has said, the arrival of the Reapers is the biggest crisis we have encountered so far, so the Star Alliance has been preparing for it since we got the news. But even so, we still don't have enough time... ...To be honest, it is quite difficult for Star Alliance to protect itself right now, and we may not be able to help you.”
This is also the reason Li Longcheng told Representative Hackett. Only Li Longcheng himself knows the real reason. After all, Duanmu Huai told him. Frankly speaking, Li Longcheng had also considered whether to do this, but...the Shepards and his brother discovered so much evidence one after another, and raised their opinions to the Citadel Council again and again, but the latter turned a deaf ear.
In this case, there is nothing Li Longcheng can do.
As the saying goes, good words cannot persuade a person to die, and mercy cannot save a person. The Citadel Council is so stupid that it seeks death. Of course, there is no need for humans to sacrifice their lives in vain for their stupidity and arrogance, right?
Not to mention, Star Alliance had only fought with Turians before, so it’s hard to say how good the relationship between the two parties was.
And I don't have a good impression of the other two races that are biased.
Li Longcheng knew that the reason why the Star Alliance had a say in the Citadel Council was not because of the good relations between humans and these three races, but because the Tribunal's fleet was so powerful that they did not dare not listen.
Big fists are the truth, and facts have proven that reasoning with these people doesn't work. The Star Alliance has already informed the Citadel Council of the impending arrival of the Reapers, and has been preparing for it during this period, manufacturing a large number of warships and expanding its army. As a result, the Citadel Council suspected that the Star Alliance was using the unknown Reaper as an excuse to find a reason to expand its military strength!
Of course, it's normal to think this way, but your castle has been stolen by reapers! It was our Commander Shepard who killed it!
It's a bit too much for you to pretend to be blind after things like this.
Li Longcheng also contacted the leader of the Asari, trying to persuade her, but the other party said, "We Asari are the oldest and greatest civilization in this galaxy and the first to enter the interstellar world. We have never seen anything like you." "Don't make trouble, little kid with a yellow mouth", which made Li Longche speechless.
In this case, we have no choice but to send them to die as Duanmu Huai said.
Alas, it turns out that the Inquisition's view is correct. People who are not of my race must have different minds.
There are still three months until the Reapers arrive.
For Li Longcheng, he can only rely on the Inquisition now.
