[Residents from the outer city recently discovered that the Michael family behaved strangely. They became photophobic, spoke less, went out less often, and became visibly thinner. The monster meat hanging behind the window will only disappear after being left to rot. Neighbors once smelled wafting from Michael's home.
There is a putrid smell, and there are murmurs similar to prayers when it is quiet at night]
[Mission: Investigate the strangeness of the Michael family]
[Advanced: Completely solve this task]
[Tip: Ghouls, madmen, Senger tribes and some pagans may have characteristics similar to the Michael family]
[Basic reward: 1 credit; 2 team points]
Tasks from two days ago. If the task is left for too long, it will be removed, and it will be handled by Midnight City to avoid aggravation of the incident. Therefore, a task that has been left for a period of time without being removed or picked up usually means: the reward of this task is low, or it has not changed for a long time.
Just right for the Holy Light team to continue to work together.
"Lu Li, after this mission is over, you and I can go to the mission hall to choose the next mission."
On the elevator to Midnight City, Kiruait said.
"Squad points are not only used to improve the ranking, you can think of it as a precious currency that can be exchanged for things that cannot be bought with exclusive academy shillings and weird currencies."
In addition to understanding the mission mode, Lu Li, as the vice-captain, also needs to understand the role of team points, so that when Kiluaite dies... Lu Li can successfully take over the position of leader of the Holy Light Team.
Ten minutes later, the elevator descended into the Midnight City camp. The light ball in the tower was like the dawn of dawn, emitting a hazy and gentle light.
The Fusan District is located on the outskirts of the outer city. It may be called a slum area, a chaotic block made of staggered shacks that lacks management.
"The 100th place in the rankings has 63 team points, and we are still 40 team points away from entering the rankings..."
Kiruit was a little ashamed. The bottom 50 positions in the rankings changed frequently, and the rankings could plummet at any time due to the consumption of team points. Even so, the Holy Light Team was still a long way from entering the rankings.
After all, the Holy Light Team had no intention of getting involved in the rankings before this, and the team points accumulated to a certain amount will be quickly redeemed.
"If we accumulate 80 team points, we can stay at the bottom of the rankings." Jaeger said at this time.
Although neither Lu Li nor Kiruit had any interest in the rankings, they felt guilty that Lu Li could not even enter the rankings.
In any case, Lu Li's supplies saved the Holy Light team from having to spend team points to redeem items, and the remaining two months were enough for them to appear at the bottom of the rankings.
The premise is that Lu Li will not advance to the senior grade before then.
Entering the Fusan District, many religious groups are spreading their faith and distributing resources here. It's like a transaction: you provide faith, and I provide food and water.
Bypassing the churches, they arrived at the mission location, Michael's home.
A hut that is connected to surrounding shacks. In outer cities or slums, shacks that are connected to each other and almost form a long house are very common. Saving one or even two walls can save a lot of money.
And accidents are also big troubles. Such as fires and plagues.
It seems like this shouldn't be the case.
Lu Li observed the surroundings. The Michael family was not dealt with, and the area was not even cordoned off. Residents passed by the shack calmly, and the neighbors did not move out.
The suspected plague should not be underestimated. The way to deal with it should be for Deep Sea City to deal with it immediately instead of waiting for Giant Tree Academy to deal with it.
For some reason?
Lu Li thought that it was a pity that this part was not included in the teachings of Jushu Academy.
The good news is that the Michael family has not spread the plague to the outside world. But it seems that it is about to happen soon, because when asking nearby residents, they said they have not seen the Michael family go out all day.
"Keep your distance, Yeager, protect Lu Li and Naxi." Kiruait wore a diamond-shaped hand shield and leaned into the window without activating the second form.
After a brief observation, Kiruait retreated from the window and made a specific gesture to signal his teammates to approach.
"What's going on?" Jaeger looked at the dusty window.
"It's strange... I seem to have seen the Michael family but..." Kiruait couldn't explain what she saw. She asked Naxi to drink the revealing potion and approach the door.
bang
The latch was broken, the door was kicked open, and the dust almost obscured the view.
"Three pollution sources! Weak!" Naxi, who kept a distance from the shack, said loudly.
But Kiruait had already seen the scene in the hut and the source of the pollution.
"Is there anything else?" Kiruit's tone was uncertain.
"No, I can't find it."
"...Come here." Kiruait said, even lowering his shield and letting go of his guard.
With doubts, Yeager and the others approached the shack, and the dust dispersed, revealing three silhouettes tied to wooden chairs.
They...or rather they were emaciated and weak, their skin formed gray-brown spots that resembled corpse spots, and they were wrinkled due to thinness. Their hair was bald, and loose hairs were scattered around the linen clothes and wooden chairs.
"Did they do it themselves? Or was there someone..." Naxi felt like he was talking nonsense, but there was nothing in the room except the Michael family.
Lu Li opened his stomach bag and took out the traceability potion before his wrist was bitten off by his teeth.
"I'll do it this time."
Jaeger took the potion and said. Serial potions have side effects, such as contamination. After all, they are also a member of the weird family.
After taking the potion, Jaeger began to observe the surroundings. After a moment, he shook his head in disappointment: "They were tied here an hour ago."
"No matter what, it seems we are lucky." Kiruait didn't hesitate for too long.
You completed the mission without doing anything, and you can also get advanced rewards.
Naxi checked around the shack and found a scrawled magic circle dedicated to the god of ghouls on the floor of the bedroom inside.
This is the source of the transformation of the Michael family into ghouls.
Destroying it, they returned to the Michael family.
"How to deal with it?"
Kiruait asked Lu Li for his opinion.
"Can it still be treated?"
Lu Li glanced at the bodies of the couple who had turned into ghouls and the child who was only seven or eight years old.
"Not sure... Naxi." Kiruait looked at Naxi, who understood and used protective medicine to approach the husband of the Michael family.
"Don't move, I don't want to accidentally kill you..."
He muttered to the unconscious Michael, took out a bandage from his bag and fixed the skull, then used a sharp scalpel to cut open the skull and lift it off.
The sticky dark gray substance pulled out sticky threads. Naxi leaned back to avoid the disgusting smell and observed the decayed and shrunken gray-black brain in his skull.
"It's already the third stage...irreversible."
Covering his head, Naxi retreated to his teammates.
Michael's skull seemed to be uninjured as he was still shaking unconsciously.
"Then sell it to Giant Tree Academy or give them relief." Kiruait looked at the unconscious child with regret and raised his head to ask Lu Li.
