"Hurry up! Although this area has been cleaned, it may not be safe. Those who don't want to die keep up!" The leader of the black-robed man in black robe had three octopus-like tentacles on his right arm, and the sarcoma at the end was constantly rotating and monitoring the surroundings. .
There were panting sounds in the team, and more than a dozen figures wrapped in black robes were staggering forward, and their robes were occasionally exposed with twisted limbs - some people had insects growing on their knees against their joints. In the elys, three gill-like gaps were crept in the back of the neck and mucus was leaking out.
Lin Yi's nose was surrounded by the fishy smell of rotten flesh and sulfur. He saw a hunched figure at the end of the team suddenly staggering, his hood slid down to reveal a half of his melted face, and his skin drooped to his chest like a candle. The exposed gums sprayed purple mist as they gasped.
The reason why these believers gather here is because their alienation has penetrated into their bones and can no longer hide in their territory.
The church had no choice but to recall them.
Most of these people have never taken a step out of territory in their lives, and for them, this trip is undoubtedly the first time in their lives. "Sir Bishop, I heard that there are ways to solve our abnormalities in our bodies. I wonder if you know?" A believer who seemed to be in his forties and fifties quietly approached the leader and took out a bottle from his arms. A precious wine.
In this barren land, money has long lost its original value, and materials are the real hard currency.
Rodney looked at the bottle of wine handed over by the other party, and the Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
If it is in the territory, Rodney is undoubtedly a noble person, but at the church headquarters, all the powerful people will hit the headquarter.
Rodney quickly looked around, and when everyone behind him saw this, he turned his head and pretended to turn a blind eye.
He then reached out to take the bottle of precious wine, carefully hid it in his robe, and a trace of undetectable satisfaction flashed across his face.
He cleared his throat, his voice was extremely low, with a kind of hoarseness: "It's a solution, there are not no way. However, there are so many tricks here, it's not just a few words. It can be explained clearly."
The light of hope suddenly ignited in the eyes of the believer. He hurriedly took out a small exquisite box from his arms, with dark patterns embedded in it, and a vague sense of luxury breath.
The spices contained in the box are considered rare even in the territory.
He held the box in both hands and respectfully handed it to Rodney, with a plea in his voice: "Sir, as long as I can solve my physical problems, you can take all of these. Please give me a clear way." >
For those who come here, most of them don’t actually want to leave the territory.
Just like the man who gave a gift in front of him, he was a little noble in his territory. If it weren't for the traces of alienation, who would have wanted to leave his comfortable life and come to this place full of depression and unknown suffering. ?
Rodney's eyes stayed on the small box for a moment, a hint of greed flashed through his eyes, but it was fleeting, and he was perfectly hidden under a hypocritical smile.
He took the box and gently rubbed his fingertips on the box lid, as if he was weighing the value of it.
Rodney pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "It is not a simple matter to solve your physical alienation... It is necessary to have an extremely rare medicinal material, and only the archbishop at the core of the church is qualified. Contact. "
The believer's breathing became rapid: "Then what should I do?"
Rodney raised his hand and signaled him to be calm. A meaningful touch of the corner of his mouth curled up Smile: "I can help you speak a few good words in front of the Archbishop. However, you also know that the Archbishop is busy with all kinds of things and not everyone can see it. What's more, even if you see it, if you don't have enough 'sincerity', they He would not take action easily, either."
He spoke in a plain tone, but every word was like a knife, pointing directly at the weakness of the disciples.
In fact, why didn’t Rodney himself want that kind of medicinal herb? If he could get it, he would have gotten rid of this damn alienation and returned to his territory to enjoy wealth and glory. Why should he deal with these ants here?
The believer gritted his teeth and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Sir, as long as I can cure my problem, I am willing to pay all the price! Tell me, what else do you need?"
Rodney sneered in his heart. , but still looked serious on his face: "Let's do it, you go back and prepare a list first. I will use this list to see how to help you operate."
"I understand, sir ! I have some good things here, you go first, I will come to you later."
Looking at the churchman's departure, Rodney sneered in his eyes , This believer is just a lamb to be slaughtered, and he has already sharpened his knife and is ready to peel off the fattest flesh from this lamb.
"Let's go."
Seeing Rodney leave, the believer suddenly stopped and the respect on his face disappeared in an instant.
He spat hard on the ground and cursed in a low voice: "Dog guy, still want to frame me? Just your trick is worthy of being in the church? It seems that your status is nothing but That's it."
He sneered and took out a ring from his arms.
The ring is carved with an exquisite purple-gold flower pattern, with very delicate patterns.
This ring is an item that a certain archbishop in the church is urgently needed and his last trump card.
"As long as the alienation problem can be solved, these efforts... are worth it." The believer whispered to himself, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
When the others left, Lin Yi found that this was an excellent opportunity. As long as he killed this guy and sneaked into the camp with his identity, the information about the ruins would be within his reach.
The church was about to leave when suddenly he felt a chill in his neck, and a dagger had quietly pressed against his throat.
The blade of the knife is cold and harsh. With just a light stroke, his life will be extinguished like a candle.
"Don't make a sound, otherwise you will die soon!" Lin Yi lowered his voice, and his cold words made the other person's body froze instantly.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" The churchman's voice trembled, and a fine cold sweat oozed out of his forehead, sliding down his cheeks.
"Goodly explain the Archbishop's information, maybe you can still leave a way out." The dagger in Lin Yi's hand exerted a little force, and the sharp blade easily cut through the skin of the believer, a trace of blood slowly oozed out, dyeing red The blade.
The pupils of the believer suddenly contracted, and his mind was running rapidly. He swallowed and asked tentatively, "You... do you have a grudge against Archbishop Mike?"
In his perception, the internal forces of the church are complicated and people who can climb to the position of Archbishop, Who didn’t step on countless corpses to take over? It's normal that enemies are everywhere.
He subconsciously believed that he was just a little man accidentally involved in this power struggle.
Lin Yi did not answer, but stared at him coldly, and the force on the dagger increased a little more.
The heartbeat of the believer was beating like a drum, and the shadow of death seemed to completely swallow him in the next second.
"He killed my brother for this position. Of course, I want to find a chance to kill him." Lin Yi said as the other party's words, with a hint of depressing anger in his tone.
He knew that such half-truth and half-false words would best reduce the other party's vigilance.
After hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, as if he had found a fellow disciple.
He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "Brother, then you and me are not enemies at all! I actually want to kill Mike, that bastard! For the sake of what he has in his hands, I have handed over almost 80% of my property. If I have the chance, I He will definitely kill him with his own hands! "
His expression was ferocious and his tone was full of resentment, as if he really had an irreconcilable hatred with Mike.
In fact, he did not lie. Mike's greed and exploitation have long made him unable to bear it. The family's property is not blown by the strong wind, and every minute is accumulated by blood and sweat.
When Lin Yi heard this, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but on the surface he pretended to believing. He relaxed the dagger in his hand slightly, but remained vigilant and said coldly: "Oh? Don't coax me by saying this. If I find that you have a lie, you know the consequences."
The believer waved his hand quickly and explained anxiously: "Brother, how dare I lie to you! Look, the ring on my hand is the task assigned to me by Archbishop Mike. He said that if I can do a few things for him, I will do it for him. , it can cure the alienation problem in me. But until now, I have done several things, but he has been dragging me down and not giving me an antidote! I really have no choice but to come to him personally to ask for it! A statement! ”
Just as the believers were racking their brains to think about how to make up more details, Lin Yi's dagger cut through the believers' throat.
The churchman widened his eyes and covered his neck with disbelief, and blood gushed out of his fingers.
His body fell to the ground weakly, and a "hoho" sound came from his throat.
[You killed the believer Clemens Rupert and obtained 0.4% of the World Source, and now you have obtained a total of 58.1% of the World Source. 】
As Clemens Rupert's breath completely dissipated, the ring in his hand rolled to Lin Yi's feet, making a crisp sound.
Meanwhile, a spore bomb also slid from his hands.
Obviously, in the seemingly "harmonious" atmosphere just now, both sides were secretly plotting, and no one really trusted each other.
Lin Yi picked up the ring and found that the ring was indeed as Rupert said.
【The Ring of Purple Gold Flower】

Introduction: The ring made by the Purple Golden Flower Dynasty is said to be able to understand the true value of this ring.
Looking at the corpse of Clemens Rupert in front of him, Lin Yi let small blood wrap around his arms and legs, simulating the other party's alienated form.
In this camp filled with church members, if there are no traces of alienation on the body, it will appear out of place and attract unnecessary doubt.
After preparing, Lin Yi took out an exquisite voice changer from the storage space and attached it to his throat.
He coughed twice, and his voice gradually became low and hoarse, which was eighty-point similar to that of Clemens Rupert.
Five minutes later, Lin Yi walked along the stone road and quickly caught up with the team that was about to enter the territory.
The church's posts are right in front of them, but these posts are just decorations. After all, almost all those who can reach here are internal members of the church.
The existence of the sentry is more for formal deterrence than true warning.
"Sir, these are the supplies I just got back. I hope you can help you with the Archbishop." After entering the camp, Lin Yi disguised himself as Clemens Rupert. He handed him a few bags of precious medicinal herbs to the other party.
According to Rupert's identity, Lin Yi's take out these items will not arouse other people's suspicion, but will only make others feel that Lin Yi is really preparing to spend a lot of money on this trip.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Rodney took the medicinal herbs and looked around for a few casual glances, with a hint of undetectable satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
But his face still looked aloof and snorted coldly, "Hmph, this is just a little thing, I want me to speak kindly for you in front of the Archbishop? But... look... As you are still a little sincere, I can say something for you."
Lin Yi lowered his head, a sneer slightly raised the corner of his mouth, but his tone was still humble: "thank you, sir, I feel grateful."
Rodney waved his hand and said in a cold tone: "Okay, you go to the place arranged by the camp to rest first, and someone will assign you tasks later." After that, he turned around and quickly Leaving away, as if staying for a second is a waste of time.
The others in the team glanced at Lin Yi with a slightly sarcastic look, as if they were looking at a stupid sucker.
Although everyone wants to solve the problem of physical alienation, in their eyes, the behavior of Lin Yi showing off all his trump cards as soon as he comes out is undoubtedly extremely stupid.
A group of people followed the church's guidance and came to a temporary territory.
The simple buildings stand on the barren land, which looks particularly abrupt.
Lin Yi followed the crowd into the house, and a damp and moldy smell came to his face.
The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, with several shabby beds placed at will, and even mottled stains can be seen on the bed board.
The walls were covered with mold spots, and some debris that were unknown to the purpose were piled in the corners, making the entire space seem dilapidated. "What the hell is this? We were taken from afar, so let us live in such a place?" a church member couldn't help complaining, his tone full of dissatisfaction. "That's it! We are well-known figures in the territory. What does the church treat us?" Another person echoed, with obvious anger in his voice.
People who can come here have a certain status and influence in the territory, otherwise they would not be led here by the church at a cost.
The scene in front of them disappointed them, and even felt despised and humiliated.
"What the hell is this? Let's live in such a broken place?" A burly believer suddenly smashed the package in his hand to the ground, his voice as thunder, buzzing inside the house. .
His face was full of anger, and there was a fierce look in his eyes: "We are well-known figures outside, after all, are you just perfunctory to us?"
Someone took the lead, Others also vented their dissatisfaction.
Complaints and curses come one after another, and the whole house becomes noisy in an instant, like a volcano about to erupt.
The church members who led everyone to frowned, and a hint of impatientness flashed in their eyes, but they were soon suppressed by him.
He took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and explained, "People, please be careful. This is just a temporary residence, and the camp resources are limited. The Archbishop is currently dealing with important matters and cannot take these into consideration for the time being. Trivial matters. After a while, you will naturally arrange a better place to live for everyone. "
But such an explanation obviously cannot calm everyone's anger. "Wait for a while? When will we wait? We are here thousands of miles away, not to suffer in this broken house!" A tall and thin believer sneered, his voice sharp and harsh. "That's it! The church led us here, was it just to let us live in such a place? It's so damning!" Another person echoed, his tone full of sarcasm.
Lin Yi stood aside and observed all this quietly.
He quietly walked to a relatively calm churchman and asked in a low voice: "Brother, you don't seem to care about the accommodation conditions. Is there any trick?"
The believer glanced at Lin Yi, a hint of alert flashed in his eyes, but he quickly relaxed again. He lowered his voice, with a little helplessness and sarcasm in his tone: "What's the use of complaining? The water in the church is very deep."
Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the house, piercing into each other like a cold blade like a cold blade In my personal ears, "What's the noise? Just be quiet!"
The room was silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes looked at the door.
A middle-aged man in a black robe walked in.
He glanced at the people in the room and said coldly: "If you don't want to live, you can leave now. But I remind you that if you leave here, you will never be able to solve the alienation problem in your body!" "Master Archbishop." "Master Archbishop."
The people in the room bowed their heads and saluted, with awe and fear in their voices.
The middle-aged man in a robe glanced at everyone: "I know what you are thinking. But you must be clear that except here, the entire continent has no place to stay. If anyone doesn't want to stay, now You can get out. However, I remind you that there are people outside who are rushing to come in. "
"What do you think we have tried our best to bring you here? It's to save you." Archbishop Mike The voice suddenly became softer, carrying a deceptive power, "The church has never given up on you. As long as you cooperate, the alienation problem will eventually be solved."
At this moment, a The voice broke the silence: "Master Archbishop, we all understand your painstaking efforts."
Lin Yixun looked in the voice and found that the person who spoke was the calm religious priest before.
He spoke with a respectful tone, but with a hint of temptation: "But the accommodation conditions are too poor. We are struggling to get on and off and need to rest well in order to better cooperate with the church's actions."
Archbishop Mike's eyes fell on Jerry, and his tone eased a little: "Let's do this, I'll give you a grievance tonight and I'll have someone arrange a better place for you tomorrow."
< br>After saying that, Archbishop Mike turned around and left the room, leaving a room of believers looking at each other.
The people who had just had a lot of trouble, but now they became quiet and sat back on the bed.
The people who can come here are not fools. The reason why they cause trouble is just to test the attitude of the church.
It seems that the church has no intention of killing the donkey, which is good news.
Lin Yi walked to Jerry and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's your name? It seems that you know a lot about the situation here."
Jerry glanced at Lin Yi, and his tone was in a state of mind. With a little bit of self-deprecating: "Jerry just needs to be called. I've been to this haunted place once."
"The archbishop who just came here is Archbishop Mike who is responsible for the logistics of the entire camp. Every time he They would use this method to comfort newcomers. On the surface, it was to solve the problem, but in fact it was just a delaying strategy. When I came last time, I was fooled by his arguments. "When I heard Jerry's words, Lin Yi's eyes lit up , he didn't expect that the person who just came here was Archbishop Mike as Rupert mentioned.
Lin Yi nodded and continued to ask, "What do you mean by saying they want to squeeze out our value?"
Jerry looked around vigilantly and saw Everyone else was talking in a low voice before they approached Lin Yi's ear and said in an almost inauspicious voice: "I doubt that they were doing some secret experiments that they gathered together those of us who had alienation problems. As for Archbishop Mike , This man is hypocritical on the surface, but in fact he is cruel. The last time I was lucky, my physical alienation suddenly deteriorated a lot, and the church let me go back. Unexpectedly, the alienation has worsened recently, so I had to return to this ghost Place. ”
Lin Yi was about to ask something else when a heavy footsteps suddenly came outside the house.
A church guard pushed open the door and shouted loudly, "Everyone rest early, there are important arrangements tomorrow!"
Everyone responded and lay on the bed.
Lin Yi also lay down, but his mind was running rapidly. (This chapter ends)
