"Bah! I'm not a junk collector. I just pick up everything at home!" Jiang Nuxia frowned at first, then suddenly laughed mischievously, "Actually, I did pick up a 'big piece of trash'. Do you want to know what it is?"
What?"
Gao Fei heard that she was setting a trap for him, so he put the human skin into the astrolabe storage space without further ado, and called Ma Tao and Wang Daqing to search for Hong Debiao.
A thorough search was conducted upstairs and downstairs, but no trace of Hong Debiao was found, and no dark room or secret passage was found.
At this time, Jin Zhijian called and informed them that the operation there was over. Hong Debiao's gang members had been wiped out, but unfortunately the kidnapped Wu Xianyun was not found.
Gao Fei briefly explained the situation on his side and agreed to meet Jin Zhijian and others at the door of the church.
As soon as I got off the third floor, my astrolabe prompted me to receive a new email.
Gao Fei opened it and saw that it was indeed an analysis report sent by the laboratory.
The human skin that was sent just now is not a simple activated object, but belongs to a small undead creature, the "skin kite subspecies".
Gao Fei has never even seen a "leather kite", let alone any subspecies.
However, the name "Painted Skin" given by the Vader Laboratory to the human skin suited him very well.
The challenge level of Painted Skin is level 2, and its attributes are Strength 4, Agility 19, Constitution -, Intelligence 10, Perception 12, and Charisma 14.
Painted Skin's hunting method is similar to the "Dark Veil Monster" that Gao Fei has seen in the game. It attaches to living creatures and sucks blood. It can also completely peel off the opponent's skin, imitate it, and replace it.
When the painting skin completely controls the body and mind of the host, it can act openly as the other person.
Painted skin drains the host's blood and can still control its corpse's movements, just like when it was alive.
It wasn't until the host's corpse began to rot and the abnormality could no longer be concealed in the crowd that Huapi had to abandon the puppet and fly away quietly to find the next victim.
Judging from the habits of the painted skin, the combination of her and an undead creature like the corpse demon is a perfect match.
If Hong Debiao didn't mind the rotten corpse hidden under this beautiful skin, he might actually regard her as his truly loving partner.
It's a pity that Gao Fei doesn't understand the physiological structure of Painted Skin and Corpse Demon, and the analysis report of Vader Laboratory does not cover the details in this regard. It is still unclear whether Hong Debiao and his empress are only in spiritual love, or they can behave like normal men and women.
That's how the relationship between husband and wife happens.
After clearing away the monsters inside the building, everyone received experience points rewards from the astrolabe.
Ma Tao and Wang Daqing teamed up to save six corpse palace maidens, each gaining 600 experience points.
The will-o'-the-wisp that Jiang Feng shot on the second floor and the corpse demon that he killed on the third floor both had a challenge level of 3, providing a total of 1,400 experience points.
Gao Fei used the "Frost Star Wand" to kill two corpse palace maidens, plus one ghost fire and one painted skin, and received a total of 1550 experience points.
The Gao Fei team also reported the new species Painted Skin, and all members received an additional 1,350 experience points as a reward.
A group of four people went downstairs and returned to the campus. They saw Jin Zhijian and public security officers escorting a group of handcuffed and dejected men out of the church and into a van.
Gao Fei went over to inquire about it and learned that the round-up operation was indeed a success as he predicted in advance.
The key members of Hong Debiao's cult criminal gang, including the eight princes he had conferred upon him, were all arrested.
Unfortunately, Jin Zhijian failed to find Wu Xianyun who was kidnapped by Hong Debiao in the church.
Gao Fei also briefly described the situation on his side.
When he learned that the bandit leader Hong Debiao could not be captured, Jin Zhijian's face looked a little heavy.
After some interrogation, the arrested cult cadres all confessed honestly.
Based on their confessions, Gao Fei learned that Hong Debiao had left this den as early as yesterday afternoon.
In addition to Wu Xianyun who was under coercion, his companions also had two bronze corpses and three iron corpses that Hong Debiao personally refined.
Hong Debiao did not disclose his plans to his men.
But everyone saw him driving a truck on the road. In addition to the zombies, there were also many digging tools in the truck bed. It can be seen that this guy has probably returned to his old job of tomb robbing.
Hong Debiao kidnapped archaeologist Wu Xianyun precisely to coerce him into helping him identify cultural relics unearthed from ancient tombs.
The problem now is that no one can tell exactly which ancient tomb Hong Debiao wants to rob.
Mulan Township is a place with many ancient tombs.
From the Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, no less than a hundred Jurchen palace nobles were buried here.
If all the ancient tombs were searched, it would take at least a week.
The clues were cut off at this point. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, everyone had to withdraw the team and go back to the police station, and then find a way to hunt down Hong Debiao tomorrow.
After a simple dinner, Jin Zhijian went back to interrogate Hong Debiao's gang members overnight, hoping to dig out more valuable clues from them.
Gao Fei and others were not in the mood to go out for a walk, so they returned to the hotel and upgraded their professional levels.
Ma Tao currently has 14,250 experience points, which is enough for him to upgrade his main profession "Tiangong Special Police" to level 6, and he still has 6,750 experience points left.
The 1 new free attribute point added after the upgrade, together with the two points obtained before, were all added to perception by Ma Tao, bringing the perception attribute to 18 points.
Wang Daqing's experience points gained today were only 200 points less than Ma Tao's. He first upgraded the special police officer to level 6 and added the new free attribute to his charm.
The remaining experience points are enough for him to upgrade his main sub-professional paladin from level 3 to level 5, increase the energy channeling effect to 2d6, "Holy Treatment" has its own "detoxification" special effect, and awaken the paladin's signature passive ability.
Aura of Courage”.
…
Aura of Courage: As long as the paladin is awake, he can continue to radiate supernatural aura within 30 feet of the surrounding area, making himself and all allies in the area immune to fear.
…
The paladin who upgraded two levels in a row also added two new 1-level divine spells. Wang Daqing chose "Protect from Evil" and "Forced Duel".
…
Protection from evil: lasts 1 minute/level; the subject's defense and saving throw against evil creatures are 2; protected from "possession" by evil spirits and evil spirits, and has advantage on Will saving throws against enchantment-type effects.
…
"Forced duel" is actually the "taunt" of the berserker, forcing the target who failed the will save to attack him.
Both of these magic spells are very useful.
Needless to say "forced duel", it is a must-have magic skill for mt to pull monsters.
"Protecting from evil" will be even more helpful to the current tasks performed by Gao Fei and others.
As we all know, except for a few exceptions, all undead creatures belong to the evil camp. Among them, most of the incorporeal ghosts are good at possessing living people, which is commonly known as "resurrection of corpses" among the people.
"Protection from evil" can prevent ghost possession, and when fighting undead creatures, you can also get bonuses in defense and saving throws, which is suitable for dealing with Hong Debiao and the resentful ghosts he summoned.
