Claire smiled hoarsely and asked: "Then what can you bring to us? Why should we trust you?"
Laurel was silent for a moment and said: "You can plant any method on me, and I want to ask you to listen to a story first."
Before the two of them could reply, Laurel said to himself: "Once upon a time, there was a peaceful and peaceful town in the south of the empire. This town was very ordinary, with only about a hundred households. The townspeople lived a life intertwined with hunting and planting.
life."
"Everything was fine at first, but with the sudden intrusion of undead creatures, the peaceful town gradually became uneasy."
"It was an ordinary afternoon. The townspeople who were working in the fields were unexpectedly attacked by undead creatures. Because the undead creatures that attacked were the lowest kind of undead creatures, and their number was not large, these undead creatures were very dangerous.
The young people from the small town quickly reacted and solved the problem."
"This is a very common thing, but it has aroused the vigilance of the residents of the town. They are afraid that a new undead lair will be born nearby, so they want to find someone to help explore it."
"They first reported the matter to a nearby large city, but were treated coldly. The adults in the city promised to send people to investigate. A month later, there was still no action. During this period, two more undead creature attacks occurred."
"As a last resort, the residents of the town had to pool their own money to hire people to investigate. Fortunately, they soon hired a three-person mercenary team."
"This mercenary team is quite professional. They can hunt down several undead creatures around the town every three to five days. They also began to explain the power and terror of undead creatures to the residents of the town. According to them,
It is to let the residents of the town know more about it, so that even if they encounter undead creatures that they cannot fight against in the future, they can increase their hope of survival."
"As time goes by, everything seems to be back on track. If this continues, the town will return to its former self. Unfortunately, a sudden incident has once again pushed the town into panic."
"A certain hunter who went out did not return on time. Originally, the residents of the town did not take it seriously. However, they could not withstand the pleading of the hunter's family, so they went out together to look for the hunter's traces. As a result, the hunter was found not far from the town.
's corpse."
"The hunter's death was extremely tragic. His body was full of small wounds. He died because his blood had drained away. There were countless strange symbols carved with his blood around his body. And this was just the beginning!"
"The next day, the bodies of the town residents in the same dead condition were found on the other side of the town, and then the third day, the fourth day..."
"Even if the residents of the town are not going out, one resident will still go missing every day, and his body will be found near the town the next day in the same death state."
"There was no news from the people sent out by the town to ask for help from the city, and even the hired three-person team never came back."
"A group of people once gathered in the small town and tried to get through the dangerous area by relying on their numerical advantage. As a result, a team of more than a dozen small town residents got lost in the bloody mist that suddenly appeared outside the small town."
"Since then, the entire town has slowly become numb from fear and despair. Everyone has gone crazy under an inexplicable force. The residents of the town have begun to kill each other crazily. In the end, there is no winner, and everyone who has fallen into madness has
All the residents of the town are dead, mummified by the inexplicable force."
"After that, the bloody fog blockade outside the town was lifted, and the three-person mercenary team returned to the town and dug out the evil objects they had buried in advance. Everything that happened in the town was their arrangement, from the beginning
From releasing undead souls to sneaking into the town and spreading panic, to the town residents killing each other and completing the last rituals, it was all their work, with the purpose of collecting sacrifices for their gods."
At this point in the story, Laurel paused, seeming to be lost in memories.
Claire asked strangely: "I didn't seem to hear any trace of your existence in this story?"
Claire and Lando naturally understood from the beginning that Laurel was telling a story about him, but they didn't hear him "appear" until the end, which was a little strange.
Claire's words interrupted Laurel's memories, and he said calmly: "There is a young man in the town. He witnessed the entire incident, including the conversation when the three-person team finally recovered the evil object."
"The only difference between him and other small town residents is that after the town was sealed off, the inexplicable force that drove everyone in the town crazy did not make him crazy, but instead activated the potential in his body."
"He was frightened and hid, and then he saw his father brutally kill his mother, and then his father was also killed by other town residents. The young man could only hide in the dark in fear.
trembling."
"Then the young man left the town in a daze and came to the city to become a beggar. He originally thought that he would continue like this until one day he starved to death because he could not beg for food, or died of a disease or a fight.
middle."
"Then, one day a year later, he woke up..."
It's obviously a very sad story, but for Lando, the sense of déjà vu is too strong. If you put it on a novel website at a certain point in his previous life, isn't this just a standard orphan start?! Still with the world's strongest secret agent?
The kind of people with whom the forces have a blood feud.
Think about it, if outsiders like Lando hadn't disrupted the situation, Laurel, who had already penetrated the enemy, wouldn't have overthrown the 'Dark Cult' in the end, right?!
Lando suddenly felt something in his heart, and asked just in case: "Two questions, is that young man in your story you? Is that three-person team a member of the 'Dark Cult'?"
"Yes, I am the boy who survived to the end in the story. After several years of secret investigation, I have confirmed the identity of the hired team back then, and even the identity of the 'bishop' they belonged to."
Not lying!
Lando's telepathic space comes from the control of the mind, and has the ability to distinguish a person's mind. Although he cannot read thoughts or memories, he can still tell whether a person is lying. Of course, the premise is that the person is not strong.
, like Claire, unless he takes the initiative to let go of his heart, Lando can't feel anything.
"What do you think?" Lando asked.
Claire thought for a moment and said, "It seems feasible. This way your identity can be preserved for the time being."
If Laurel rebels desperately, your identity will be involved.
"Yeah, but I feel like even if I keep this identity, it won't take long."
Claire nodded with deep understanding. After they got so much information this time, they would definitely take action against the 'bishop' level powerhouses. In this case, their current identities would not allow them to hide in the dark.
