"I just counted you as the winner. Let me ask you to return to the gathering place. This mission has come to an end. Let's say goodbye."
The cooperation between the two teams in this mission was limited to restarting the life evolution device, which has now been successfully completed.
Both sides shake hands.
"goodbye."
"Um."
Then Lei Wu took the members of the Thunder Punishment Team, entered the elevator, and actually chose to leave the Akagi Hi-Tech Group headquarters building. He didn't know what he planned to do, but he had nothing to do with Chen Mo.
Inside the youth hostel flag array.
The Apocalypse summoned dozens of minions.
Some of these minions were driving giant engineering vehicles, while others were holding wrenches. With Dr. Life's painful expression, they were shouting loud slogans and dismantling the shell of the life evolution device.
Chen Mo and Xieying stood on both sides of Tiantian and watched her complete the mysterious ritual of "being with the devil".
Different from the Scourge's midnight sacrifice.
What the disaster world needs is blood, black books, and magical material sacrifices.
The materials used to summon the devil are one's own blood, the blood book, and the power of the soul. For the devil, the power of the soul is the universal currency.
Tiantian took out the knife, cut her palm open, and drew strange runes on the ground like devil's claws according to the runes on the blood book.
The whole process is not complicated, but it is full of darkness, evil, and chaos.
So much so that part of Chen Mo had the illusion that even he was being spied on by a dark aura.
This dark and evil aura was trying to pull him into the illusion, or embed the illusion it was in into reality, and the strange and evil laughter kept coming and going in his ears.
Chen Mo hurriedly activated the Invincibility to All Evils to resist this ghostly laughter.
really.
That dark, dirty, evil sense of voyeurism disappeared instantly.
Yanying put a white magic shield on herself and calmly watched everything that happened in front of her.
Compared to the cautious reactions of the two, Tiantian looked intoxicated and seemed to be enjoying the process. Rather than saying that these devils were tempting her to fall into hell, it was better to say that she was already in hell, enjoying it.
The process of being with the devil.
Gradually.
Tiantian's face became extremely pale.
She seems to have entered a weak state due to excessive blood loss, which is also one of the sacrificial conditions required by the "Blood Book".
Sudden.
The "Blood Book" in front of Tiantian spontaneously ignited.
The rising flames turned into a ghost face, looking greedily at the creature in front of him. But when Tiantian raised his head and looked at her with purple eyes that sealed the fragments of original sin, this greedy devil actually let out a scream.
Then it mysteriously disappeared.
soon.
The grimaces formed by the smoke on the blood paper revolved around Tiantian, but the result was the same. After the devil looked at Tiantian, he screamed and disappeared.
That's it.
Various grimaces, time and time again, tried to form a relationship with Tiantian, but all ended in failure.
Seeing that the blood book is about to disappear.
The bloody runes on the ground also burned one after another.
Then the earth suddenly twisted and turned into a big mouth, swallowing the sweetness in one gulp before he could react.
Chen Mo couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this.
It all happened so fast, they didn't even have time to react.
But fortunately, after swallowing, Tiantian only disappeared for a moment, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The distortion of the ground instantly recovered, and Tiantian still stood in place, intact, but her body seemed to have an aura of evil, chaos, and disorder.
"How are you?"
Faced with Chen Mo's concern, Tiantian asked doubtfully: "How long did I go in?"
"Well?"
Chen Mo frowned and said, "About 2 seconds."
Tiantian couldn't help but open her mouth when she heard this.
"It felt like two days later, a devil named Xia Xue received me. She said that my soul was the most special soul she had ever seen and that it would definitely bring her good luck."
"Then you...succeeded?"
"Probably so."
After Tiantian thought for a moment, her red lips slowly opened, and after blowing out a breath of peach pink, the slender index finger of her right hand drew out of thin air, casting a black magic.
Chen Mo and the two of them couldn't help but look at each other.
Tip: Strength +3 points, lasts for 10 minutes, and for the next 10 days, strength -4 points.
"It is indeed usurious in nature."
Seeing this, Chen Mo looked solemn and said: "Then as a demagogue, how much profit can you get?"
Upon hearing this, Tiantian destroyed the black magic contract in front of her with a single stroke of her hand, showing a thoughtful expression.
"With my current ability, I am still unable to cast a permanent contract to seize the power of the soul. At the level one natural disaster predator stage, I can only learn these temporary contracts. The reward this contract can bring me is strength within 10 days.
+1 point.”
Say so.
Although the demagogue does not need to bear the risks of signing a contract, the benefits are much smaller.
Being with the devil is indeed a road of no return.
But this is the path Tiantian has chosen.
In the concept of natural disaster victims, everyone may be promoted to evil gods in the future. No one believes in fatalism. The difference between success and failure lies in whether the natural disaster victims can find a development direction that suits them during the growth process. Therefore, as a starting point
The professionalization process can be said to be a top priority.
No one can interfere with the evolutionary path Tiantian chooses. Even as a teammate, Chen Mo can't say anything.
"Is everything okay over there?"
The Apocalypse, who had been busy for a long time, looked back at the three people and apologized: "I'm really sorry, I still need some time here."
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Mo stood by the window, looked at the ruins of the nearby neighborhood, and said calmly: "We have plenty of time."
…
About forty minutes later.
The Apocalypse finally disassembled the life evolution device and put away the mechanical parts and core devices he needed one by one.
It is easy to see from his excited expression that he is quite satisfied with what he has gained from this trip, and it has even far exceeded expectations.
"I estimate that what I have gained in this world is enough for me to sprint towards 5% of the construction progress, but the specific data will not be known until I return."
The power of a team is naturally far greater than that of an individual.
After Apocalypse joined the tour group, the speed of acquiring resources has significantly increased. He seems to have seen that the construction progress of the space-based particle cannon has reached the 30% stage.
The long-term investment finally paid off.
"So many, that's great."
Judging from the current 12% progress of the space-based particle cannon, if it can be increased by 5% in one go, it will be 17% progress, which is really a surprise.
It seems that it won't take long for it to begin to exert its power.
But Chen Mo also knew.
A large part of the reason why the construction progress has increased so quickly this time is because of the nature of this mission world and its technological factors, coupled with the high energy of everyone adding firewood, it was possible to improve so much in one go.
Finally, it’s about the treatment of Dr. Life.
Under Chen Mo's gaze, he seemed a little uneasy, waiting for his next fate.
"Doctor, I think there may be opportunities for us to continue to cooperate in the future."
"ah?"
When Dr. Sheng was puzzled, Chen Mo patted his shoulder and came to his side to whisper. Dr. Sheng was shocked when he heard this and nodded frequently.
…
Ten minutes later.
Chen Mo was alone, climbing one floor after another, and finally found more than ten monks from the shrine temple on the fourteenth floor.
The walls are full of signs of violence.
These monks were sitting in a circle, seeming to be chanting sutras to save the corpse, with a pious attitude of saving all sentient beings and showing compassion to resolve the grievances here.
Chen Mo searched for a while and soon found a suitable target.
"master."
Chen Mo clasped his hands together and asked in a low voice: "Can I take a step to speak?"
This chanting monk slowly opened his eyes. He was one of the ghosts, gods and arhats in the shrine temple.
"I wonder what happened to the donor?"
Seeing the other party acting like this, Chen Mo carefully took out the dust-covered relic, flashed it in front of the other party's eyes, and then took it back.
"this!"
The monk, who had an indifferent expression at first, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this.
Chen Mo whispered: "This is the treasure we found on the ninth floor. It seems to be a Buddhist object. It should have been returned to the shrine temple, but because one of my teammates was possessed by a ghost, I asked a master to exorcise him.
Cleanse."
"It's natural."
The Arhat monk originally wanted to call his fellow disciples, but when the words came to his lips, he thought of the relics covered in dust and swallowed them back alive due to greed.
Then he smiled slightly and clasped his hands together.
"For the ghost exorcism ritual, only one poor monk is required. Please lead the way, donor."
When Chen Mo saw this, he felt relieved and hurriedly led the way.
soon.
The two of them arrived at the ninth floor. After a crack was opened in the flag array, Chen Mo led the monk and strode forward to the unconscious Chimujie.
At this moment, he was lying on the ground, convulsing.
It was precisely because Tiantian fully controlled him with his mutated Wenrouxiang skills and then experimented with the power of the devil's contract that he suffered some backlash.
Seeing this, the monk looked solemn.
"master!"
Chen Mo actually cried immediately: "Please save my companion. I have nothing to repay, so I can only use this relic as a thank you."
Seeing this, the monk could no longer contain his surprise.
He trembled slightly and picked up the dust-covered relic with both hands.
Just when the monk was concentrating on admiring the dusty relics, the Chimujie on the ground suddenly burst out and wanted to attack the monk.
"Bah!"
The monk gave a deafening shout, holding the dust-covered relic in his left hand, and turned his right hand into a fist. A pale golden "swastika" appeared in the palm of his hand, and he pressed down on Chimujie.
After Chimujie resisted briefly, he fell to the floor again with a "Ah" sound.
"Donor, there is no end to the sea of suffering. Looking back is..."
Sudden.
The pain in his back made the monk's pupils shrink suddenly.
However, his reaction was not too quick. When he retracted his right hand, he held the dusty relic between his hands and clasped his hands together. With the monk as the center, streaks of golden light visible to the naked eye suddenly erupted in all directions.
This golden light not only offset Chen Mo's telekinesis bombs, his ice arrows, and sweet charm bomb attacks, but also pushed the three of them several meters away. It was quite powerful.
Especially sweet.
When faced with the counterattack of this second-level creature, even if the opponent is only a second-level creature with an average evaluation, it is still unable to cope and loses its balance and falls to the ground.
As the instigator, Apocalypse also groaned, flew more than ten meters, and knelt down on one knee to stop.
He lowered his head and glanced at the tip of the knife, which was already stained with blood.
"He was poisoned."
The angry monk was about to turn around when he suddenly realized that his body seemed to be paralyzed, his neck and limbs became extremely stiff, and his weakness was like a flood and tsunami coming over him.
This is the blue quality item that Chen Mo obtained in the misty world, and the curse of Xia Ye has taken effect.
The Curse of Summer Night: The person who suffers the curse will fall into a state of paralysis and stiffness for 3 to 5 seconds, followed by -100 vitality, -10 defense, -10 speed, -10 strength, -10 spirit, and will attract nearby poisonous creatures.
active attack, lasting 10 minutes.-
Although there are no poisonous creatures here, it is impossible to maximize the value of this prop, but in order to complete the contract task as soon as possible and avoid unnecessary complications, Chen Mo does not have to worry too much.
After all, there are too many monks in the shrine temple in the headquarters building at this moment.
Even if the tour team has a flag formation as a back-up, it cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof.
It would be too dangerous if he escaped.
Three minutes later.
The ghostly Arhat monk, who was poisoned by the summer night curse, was trapped in the flag formation of the youth hostel. Under the siege of four people in the team, although he tried his best, he could not escape death. Chen Mo completed the final blow.
Four people did not receive reward tips.
Obviously, in the judgment of the disaster world, this monk is not only not an enemy, but is not even a neutral creature, but belongs to the friendly camp.
But he finally completed the devil's contract and saved 10 years of life, which made Chen Mo relieved.
