Chapter 138 Please players take a human-like name during the cutscene
A large golden scale stands majestically in the center of the palace, and next to it stands a jackal god holding a scepter.
At the same time, Lin Xiao received several reminders from the source world.
"Attention, you have entered the 'Hall of the Dead' where the instance is hidden."
"The highly difficult mission 'Ritual of Anubis' has been launched. After completing the mission, the dungeon rewards will be increased."
"You acquire the debuff status 'Curse of the Dead'. Within five seconds, you will automatically lose 50% of your source power and generate mission props."
Before Lin Xiao understood what was happening, he felt that his source power was being transformed into a card.
However, it is not 50% of the source power as the system said, but 20% of its total value. When it reaches a certain upper limit, the conversion stops.
Lin Xiao lowered his head and looked at the card in his hand, and saw a jet-black, obsidian-like black heart drawn on the card.
Lin Xiao was silent for a while.
Although my fire and source of power are black... but my heart is too black!
"The mission props have been generated."
"Heart of the Dead: A heart of the dead. Give it to Anubis to complete the judgment."
Source power is the life of the card master. Before the boss is defeated, the player has lost half of his source power. The difficulty of this task is terrifying.
But as a small world in the spiritual world, each copy will have its own "task rules".
Lin Xiao decided to wait and see what happens and not break the rules for the time being.
He lowered his head and found that the 'Meteor Armament' had been disarmed, as if he had automatically entered a cutscene, and he was only wrapped in a white linen cloth.
In front of him, there were two humans also wrapped in linen, waiting in line for Anubis' judgment.
Lin Xiao decided to talk to the guy who looked like an NPC in front of him, patted him on the shoulder from behind, and said politely:
"Hey, man, are you dead?"
The man turned back with a confused and strange expression: "Aren't you already dead too?"
Lin Xiao coughed lightly and said: "I can't explain it at the moment... My name is 'Player 2P', what about you?"
"What a strange name."
The man mumbled something and said calmly:
"My name is Ani. I was a scribe in Moon City during my lifetime. I came here with my king to explore the world after death."
"Your king?" Lin Xiao looked at the figure at the front.
"Yes, he is the Pharaoh of Moon City, the king I am looking for." Ani said.
At this time, the Pharaoh, who was at the front of the queue and was wearing yellow linen, looked back commandingly, looked at Lin Xiao, and said with some disgust:
"The slaves buried with me in the underground tomb accidentally entered my death ceremony... Humph."
Pharaoh turned his head and said nothing.
Lin Xiao had no intention of getting angry with an NPC, but instead was curious about how to clear this mission.
"You are a scribe, why did you accompany the pharaoh to the ceremony and not the queen?" Lin Xiao asked.
A trace of loneliness flashed in Ani's eyes, and he said calmly:
"I am the wisest man in Moon City, so the Pharaoh ordered me to be buried with him. When facing the God of Death and 42 judges, I can sing his merits."
Lin Xiao was slightly startled.
There is actually a jury in Anubis's sentencing ceremony?
Soon, he saw a very professional trial process:
There are 42 shrines carved into the golden wall, and 42 little gods sit in the shrines. They whisper and discuss with each other.
The Pharaoh walked to the front of the golden wall, facing the 42 shrines, and said respectfully:
"Lords of justice, I am not guilty. I have done no evil to people, no cruelty to livestock, no violence to the poor, no slander to slaves..."
After he memorized the long rhetoric, he waited patiently for the verdict. The 42 little gods' deliberations became louder and louder, like a raging wave, and their words hit the Pharaoh like arrows, and they kept repeating:
"You are guilty! You are guilty!"
Pharaoh's face turned ugly and he glared at the scribe behind him.
The scribe stepped forward and faced the judging gods, his expression unchanged: "O Lords of justice! God Re taught us not to betray the Lord we serve. To betray the master is like the rising water of the Nile, which is harmful and unfair.
Yes! I believe that my king is innocent!"
Lin Xiao felt a little emotional.
In ancient times, Sara was a slave country, so their values were different from modern times.
Although he is foolish and loyal, this scribe can also be called loyal.
The little god in the shrine looked at Arnie and divided them into two groups: guilty and innocent. The noise echoed in the Hall of the Dead. At this time, Arnie showed a scarab amulet. This amulet had unique magical powers and stopped the discussion.
, everyone in the shrine said in unison:
"You are not guilty! You are not guilty!"
Finally it was Lin Xiao's turn to accept the jury's verdict.
When the 42 little gods saw Lin Xiao approaching, their eyes widened in horror, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying, and they said in a sharp voice:
"You are guilty! You are guilty!"
Lin Xiao looked calm and had already put on a broad-shouldered black windbreaker 'Finbul Winter'. He held a card between his fingers and injected it with dark flames.
Scarlet Spear, Liberated Form!
Click.
The bullet enters the cartridge, the turntable rotates once and returns to the revolver, and clicks with a crisp 'click' sound.
Lin Xiao raised his revolver, aimed the black muzzle at the 42 shrines, moved slowly, and said calmly:
"Sorry, my hearing is not very good, everyone."
As if being restrained by the neck, the whole palace of the dead was silent.
Pharaoh and Ani looked at this "slave" blankly.
"Why have I never seen that black thing?" Pharaoh asked.
"I don't know." Ani smiled bitterly.
"And his clothes, why are we different?" Pharaoh asked.
"I don't know!" Ani sighed.
The 42 shrines were completely silent.
They felt an extremely terrifying intimidation from the thick, dark muzzle of the gun.
Gulu, the God of Judgment can actually swallow his saliva. They were silent for a long time and suddenly spoke:
"You are not guilty!! You are not guilty!!"
Pharaoh and Ani looked shocked.
How can you still pass the trial like this?!
Lin Xiao spun the revolver around, inserted it back into the waist of his windbreaker, followed Ani and Pharaoh in front, and said:
"There's another level, which is heart weighing, right?"
When Lin Xiao had a friendly exchange with the jury just now.
The tall and majestic Jackal God never made any move.
She stood there impartially and coldly, waiting patiently for the three of them.
The first person to receive the 'heart weighing' was the Pharaoh. He held a trembling heart in both hands and nervously placed it on one side of the huge golden scale.
The Jackal God nodded indifferently and placed an ostrich feather on the other end of the scale.
According to legend, this feather symbolizes 'truth' and can be used to determine the sin in a person's heart.
The majestic and solemn Jackal God, regardless of his identity, knelt down on one knee, and with incomparable impartiality, stretched out his hand to move the weights on the golden scale.
At both ends of the scale, the heart and feathers swayed up and down, and finally, the heart end suddenly fell!
"How is that possible!" Ani said in a voiceless voice.
Pharaoh is also guilty!
The Pharaoh turned pale, staggered back, and said in despair:
"Impossible... I am Pharaoh! How can I be guilty! Anubis, Anubis, please give me another chance!"
The Jackal God stood up expressionlessly, the eyes of the black-faced wolf-head seemed to be burning with cold flames, and pronounced his verdict indifferently:
"You have abused the authority of Pharaoh, and now you will be deprived of your right to live and die."
She reached out, grabbed the heart, and threw it into the blazing brazier.
A crocodile suddenly jumped out of the brazier and devoured the Pharaoh's heart.
The pharaoh let out a heart-rending scream, and his body turned into powder and disappeared.
"Why, is it like this..." Ani's face turned pale, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, as if his faith had collapsed and he was in disbelief.
"All human beings are created equal. Even a pharaoh is not necessarily more noble than a slave."
Lin Xiao patted Ani on the shoulder and said calmly: "You should not be responsible for the crime your master committed. Don't worry, come forward."
Ani was lost in thought for a long time, his eyes were red, and he glanced at Lin Xiao gratefully: "You are right, player 2P."
Lin Xiao: "..."
In the cutscene, when I saw my ID, something suddenly happened...
Immediately, Ani walked towards the Jackal God firmly, held up his heart in awe, and placed it on one end of the scale.
Regardless of his status, the Jackal God knelt on one knee in front of Ani indifferently and adjusted the golden weight.
In Arnie's nervous sight, the heart and feathers at both ends of the scale kept shaking, and finally the feather end fell.
The Jackal God stood up and looked at Ani, with a hint of softness in his eyes:
"I declare that you are not guilty."
Arnie's back was already soaked, and he saw the door behind the Jackal God open.
That door lights up with beautiful white light, and through that door, you can reach the "Reed Field", the holy land that the Salo people dream of.
Ani passed by Anubis and the Golden Scale and walked towards the door. He looked back at Lin Xiao and said seriously:
"My friend, I will remember your words, Player 2P."
Lin Xiao: "..."
In the Hall of the Dead, only Lin Xiao was left confronting Anubis.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and displayed the mission item ‘Heart of the Dead’.
Anubis's dark jackal head shrank slightly:
"What is this?"
Lin Xiao: "A heart for weighing."
Anubis looked at the heart and felt that his thinking was a bit unable to keep up.
You call this dark thing a heart?
and.
There is more than "arrogance" in sin.
There's also "wrath" and "lazy".
There is even a hint of "greed"...
Anubis has a subtle expression.
Of the seven original sins that even the gods fear, you alone accounted for four!
You are not a human being, you are more of a demon than a demon!
What on earth has he gone through to be able to collect sins like treasures...
What kind of huge background will a human being who can possess the original power of the devil have?
Anubis showed human hesitation,
It's not that she's afraid, the main thing is that original sin is out of her control.
Moreover, even the gods are contaminated with original sin, and arbitrary judgments can easily lead to mistakes!
Lin Xiao has already put his heart on the scale.
winter!!
Anubis stared wide-eyed and raised his eyebrows.
There is absolutely no need for a trial!
Having said that, the process must be fair and equitable.
Anubis knelt on one knee in front of Lin Xiao to adjust the weights, but his falling heart showed no sign of rising.
Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Did I...not pass the ceremony?"
Anubis was speechless, reaching out to grab the heart, his eyes suddenly changed.
The dark flames spread upwards along her wrists.
This flame is more likely to originate from another dragon of creation, the ‘Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation’.
There was a hint of confusion and fear in Jackal God's eyes.
Who is he?
While possessing the power of the devil, he can also be related to the Black Dragon of Creation!
"You are guilty! You are guilty!"
Seeing the scales falling, the little god in the shrine started shouting.
A crocodile rushed out of the brazier, opened its teeth and claws, and swooped down to bite Lin Xiao's heart as if it had seen a delicacy.
This crocodile has the body of a lion and is named 'Amit', who is responsible for devouring the hearts of sinners.
However.
When Amit grabbed his heart and bit it.
The heart made of source power exploded like a bomb, and the dark flames in turn swallowed Amit!
Boom!!
The explosion shook the entire Hall of the Dead.
Jackal glanced at Lin Xiao strangely.
Is your heart faked with source power?
This is too cunning!
No, he can be called a ‘devil’, and he would indeed do such a thing!
Lin Xiao looked at the crocodile monster screaming in the dark sea of fire, his eyes lit up, he took out the 'blood source', raised his hand and fired another shot.
Peng!!
The large bullet's head shattered, and the bursting fragments penetrated the crocodile monster.
The corpse decomposed into light particles, forming a card and falling into Lin Xiao's palm.
"Hell Fire (epic material): The monster 'Amit' in the sea of fire in the underworld, the flames breathed out, has the effect of continuous burning."
Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
‘Hellfire’ is not only found in Amit, but also in underworld creatures such as three-headed dogs.
The reason why the quality is only epic level is because Amit himself is of a lower level.
However, as the main material for the fourth-level breakthrough of glutinous rice balls, it is enough!
The 42 shrines were silent.
The little gods stared blankly at the man wearing a trench coat and holding a revolver, opened their mouths, and hurriedly hid back in the shrine.
The Jackal God is holding a scepter and standing still, with a strange look in his eyes.
Amit was responsible for punishing evil, but he was destroyed by "evil".
As the consciousness projection of 'Anubis', the Jackal God will not take action personally because it would be unfair.
What's more, taking action personally may not necessarily eliminate the "big crime" in front of you...
In the eyes of the jackal god's dark wolf head, a trace of recollection flashed across his eyes, and he sighed softly in his heart.
The arrogance of original sin alone cannot be eradicated even by God.
And the man in front of him has collected more than one "power of original sin".
Although it is incomplete, it is indeed difficult to handle it with just my consciousness!
"Then, tell me your desire." Jackal God said indifferently and decided to negotiate with Lin Xiao.
"Please send me away from the Palace of the Dead...wait a moment..." Lin Xiao glanced at the seventh-level Jackal God, his eyes flickering slightly.
A seventh-level SS wave appears in the sixth-level dungeon, which is similar to a plot kill. Players who attack the Jackal God will definitely lose.
But I'm different... If the Jackal God has a health bar, he might be able to reveal legendary cards!
The Jackal God was a little embarrassed by Lin Xiao's sight, and he was about to knock the scepter and send him away quickly, but he saw Lin Xiao shaking his head to himself.
Forget it, I quite like Anubis, after all, he is the god who represents ‘fairness’.
There is no need to risk offending her by attacking her consciousness.
Buzz!!
The Jackal God didn't care that 'Amit' was killed by this kid. He struck the scepter like a plague god, and a beam of teleportation light enveloped Lin Xiao.
"You have left the "Hall of the Dead" where the instance is hidden."
"The highly difficult mission 'The Ritual of Anubis', completed at 70%, received rewards: scarab amulet, top-grade obsidian, and master-level source power crystal."
The completion level is only 70%...
Lin Xiao can also understand.
After all, I killed the monster ‘Amit’ by using an unconventional method of clearing the level.
Lin Xiao looked at another golden coffin.
I just don’t know how the clearance progress of the first person on the list is going...
…

There is another chapter after zero o'clock.
This time it’s for the first rich woman on the list. (???〃)
