Chapter 3: Bring your own tricks at the beginning
Chen Lun was shocked!
Class B monster!
Even if it is marked with the word damaged, it is not comparable to ordinary low-end goods! In his previous life, he only had one [B-level artifact] on hand, and that was the reward he earned after spending several months digging into a series of hidden missions.
At that time, the big guild, which was backed by a consortium, even offered sky-high prices to purchase all kinds of [Tricks], but few people were willing to sell them, because the [Tricks] were too precious, not to mention that they were still at the ceiling level of that version [Grade B] Weird things].
But now, he starts with one.
But Chen Lun looked at the dirty and cramped cell in front of him and couldn't help but remain silent. Is he lucky or unlucky?
He didn't think much about it, because the most urgent thing was to find a way to escape from here.
He took off the necklace and looked at it carefully in his hand. The hemp rope he rubbed casually was not worth mentioning. He probably found it casually. The focus is on the finger-sized shell worn on it, which has complex spiral patterns on its surface.
[B-level monster (damaged) Siren's Song]
Item description: A shell that contains the magic power of the deep sea. If you put it to your ear, you can vaguely hear the quiet waves and beautiful songs. It has powerful hypnotic ability. Unfortunately, it has been irreversibly damaged and only retains a small part of its power. ……
It seemed to be left behind by a beautiful siren, fished out of the sea by a boy, and then strung into a necklace with poor craftsmanship. That night, the boy met the Siren in his dream, and he grew up...
Item effect: The target will be judged when used. If the willpower is lower than 25 points, it will be hypnotized. Charm +2 after wearing.
Item cost: Sanity -1 per use
After reading the introduction, Chen Lun silently put the necklace back on his neck.
He was unable to complain about the dark history of his original body.
The young man Huaichun is always poetry, how can he despise others? What's more, it was just an erotic dream due to the influence of the [weird object].
This young man who was born and raised in a small fishing village by the sea is quite miserable. It is probably because of the salvage of this [Mysterious Object] that he became an orphan... After all, ordinary people are easily contaminated after being exposed to [Mysterious Object] for a long time. Even if he doesn't lose control and turn into a monster, he will lose his mind and die madly.
His family may have died this way.
However, he who survived by chance was targeted by the church after becoming an orphan, and eventually became a sacrifice to [the monster]. Before he could be fed, he was accidentally beaten to death because he resisted the guards...
Tragic, really miserable!
Chen Lun shook his head secretly.
This is the tone and main theme of the world of "The Age of Secrets". It is dark and depressing, making people breathless.
Fortunately, the ability of this [B-level magic object] is quite good. Although it does not have clearly visible powerful destructive power, in some aspects, it is more valuable than those [tactics] used in combat.
Because the hypnotic effect does not simply make people fall asleep literally, but is more inclined to affect the mysterious power of people's minds.
In other words, it can control people's hearts!
For Chen Lun, who is familiar with the plot and future trends, this is a great weapon to leverage opportunities!
But the premise is that he can survive first.
After clarifying his own situation, Chen Lun was somewhat confident and constructed a vague plan in his mind.
Bang!
At this time, there was a loud noise, and the iron door of the prison was violently pushed open.
Everyone was so frightened that they screamed. Chen Lun looked up and saw two guards standing at the door.
"Shut up!"
The guard with two mustaches shouted fiercely, and the frightened young men and women immediately fell silent. Only the unstoppable trembling told Chen Lun their panic state at this time.
"Sister Floy, please."
Another guard took off his brimmed hat and bowed slightly, imitating the graceful gestures of the nobles, but paired with his bald head and ferocious smile, it looked both absurd and terrifying.
As he took a step back, a petite and slender figure slowly stepped forward and walked into the prison.
Chen Lun gradually widened his eyes.
The nun looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a dark red nun's uniform, with a wide headscarf draped over her head like a wedding hat, covering her hair. Her entire body was hidden under the red gown, leaving only a A fair little face was exposed.
It's a pity that there is no expression on the beautiful and holy face, like a puppet without a soul.
"Come and receive Holy Communion..."
An ethereal voice came from the nun's mouth.
Chen Lun then came back to his senses and noticed that she was holding a plate with many cakes and apples on it.
Seeing the harmless appearance of the nun, everyone finally plucked up the courage to come forward to receive the food under the impatient urging of the guard.
The long period of detention also made them hungry. They gradually relaxed their restraint and started eating cakes and apples.
Chen Lun received a cake and an apple and walked back to the corner silently. Although he was very hungry now, he did not eat immediately. Instead, he secretly looked at the young nun with his peripheral vision.
Floy...
The petite girl in front of me will become one of the bosses of the Red Apple Church in the future, a super villain known as the Sister of Death, a strong person in the [Moon Faction] sequence path, and a ruthless character who can massacre a city by herself...
But now she should still be just an ordinary person.
Even so, since she appears here, it means that the possibility of [Back Sun Potted Plant] is also here is greatly increased.
The little bit of luck in Chen Lun's heart was severely shattered, and the sense of crisis in his mind increased.
"What should we do? The food for decapitation has been delivered, and now it's time to sacrifice..."
Chen Lun was secretly anxious.
Suddenly, he recalled the description of Floy in the post against the Red Apple Church, as well as her complete background and life experience.
Chen Lun's mind was spinning, and combined with the previously vague plan, it gradually became clear.
Suddenly his restless heart slowly became calmer. After taking a deep breath, he touched the necklace on his chest and decided to wait for the opportunity.
Perhaps because the process of decapitation meal was a bit boring, the two guards glanced at the nun's back, licked their lips and left first.
Sister Floy still stood quietly in place, like a quiet saint sculpture. In this dirty and dim prison environment, she seemed to exude a holy glimmer.
The sound of chewing and biting could be heard all around, but it didn't affect her at all.
She just stared ahead silently, her sight seemed to pass through the hungry people, through the cold prison wall, and saw the dark night, staring at the moonlight.
"Woooo..."
Suddenly, subtle sobs sounded in the prison. Although the sound was not loud, it was quite harsh.
Of course, it also successfully attracted Floy's attention.
She moved her eyes slightly, withdrew her gaze and then moved it to the corner, looking at the black-haired young man sitting against the wall.
The other person was about the same age as her, and although he was thin, he was also handsome. However, due to malnutrition and injury and exhaustion, his face was sickly pale.
At this time, the apples and cakes in his hands remained untouched. He lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders, crying silently.
Floy suddenly frowned, her eyes fluctuating slightly.
Because she vaguely heard the young man calling two words, two words that touched her cold heart.
"Sister..."
Chen Lun raised his arms to wipe away his tears and his voice became slightly louder.
"Sister, where are you? I miss you so much..."
Floy's breathing became a little faster, and she pursed her lips, seeming to hesitate.
But in the end, she couldn't help but took steps forward and walked towards Chen Lun.
But what she didn't notice was that there was a smile on the young man's lips. (End of chapter)
