Four hundred and twentieth chapters persistent infection
"If the Church of the God of Judgment has something to do with the Angry Sinspawn, then they will indeed want to kill us invaders."
Lin Ze's eyes flashed and he looked away.
"It seems that the Church of the God of Judgment already knows the existence and location of us people. That's good. As long as we catch the church's senior leaders, we should be able to find out the whereabouts of Sister Qi."
As the church team left, calm gradually returned to the city gate. The team entering the city was rearranged, and soon it was Lin Ze's turn.
"The entrance fee is three copper coins."
The soldier guarding the wooden fence stretched out his hand expressionlessly.
When Lin Ze tortured Dani and the others before, he took a lot of coins from them just in case, which came in handy.
Putting the copper coin on the soldier's open palm, the latter glanced at it and waved impatiently, allowing Lin Ze to pass the wooden fence smoothly and enter the city of Masai.
According to the information obtained from the three people in Dani, the city of Masai can be roughly divided into three parts. The outermost part is the city wall and the spacious buffer area, followed by the dirty slum area, and the center is the aristocratic area.
.
Yes, there are no civilian areas in Masai City. Except for the supreme Church of the God of Judgment, the nobles and their servants and retainers, the rest of the people belong to the poor class and can only work at the lowest level throughout their lives and live in filthy slums.
, until death, he must serve the big shots in the aristocratic district and be squeezed out of every penny of value.
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere in the slums is naturally not much better.
After setting foot on this land where dirty water flowed and garbage was everywhere, Lin Ze immediately felt the numbness, pessimism, despair and resentment that filled every inch of the air. These negative emotions seemed to have become part of the slums and became inseparable.
exist.
"It's really an uncomfortable place." Lin Ze frowned slightly and looked at everyone who passed by him. Regardless of men, women, old or young, everyone without exception exuded negative emotions, as if there was no existence in this area.
Just the slightest bit of hope.
After standing there for a while, Lin Ze noticed that many people cast strange glances at him, most of them focusing on his clothes.
Seeing this, he stepped forward without changing his expression and walked towards the direction of the aristocratic district. Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and ducked into an alleyway.
The dark alley was filthier than the streets outside, and the smell was disgusting. Lin Ze didn't care, and took out the character card to summon Lin.
"Hey, it's so dirty. What kind of place is this?"
As soon as the girl appeared in the alleyway where sewage flowed, a look of disgust immediately appeared on her pretty face. She reached out and fanned her nose. Then she looked at Lin Ze and asked:
"Master, where is the Angry Sinspawn?"
"I don't know either." Lin Ze shook his head and recounted what he saw and heard after coming to this world, "Now it seems that this place is not as simple as the Sinborn Barrier, but it is very similar to the game copy.
Similar, with specific NPC forces and power systems."
"Copy of the game? How could a monster create such a thing? Not even a Sinspawn." Lin said with a surprised look on her face.
"This is what we need to find out next." Lin Ze shook his head.
"Then what did the master want to do when he summoned me? To sneak into the church to find out information?"
"No, just teach me to go by myself. I have other things to do when I ask you to come out." Lin Ze looked steadily into Lin's eyes, "Did you feel anything unusual?"
Lin was slightly startled when she heard this, and showed doubts in her eyes. Just as she was about to ask, her expression suddenly changed, and then gradually became serious.
"This feeling... is exactly the same as the feeling when I was infected by anger after killing a monster in a forced dungeon, but the infection was not large, very slight. If you hadn't reminded me, Master, I probably wouldn't have noticed.
arrive."
"That's because the infection has just begun."
Lin Ze's expression also became solemn. After entering the slums and feeling the massive negative emotions surrounding him, he had an idea and began to wonder whether these negative emotions could also infect the human body.
It's just that he has a special constitution and can't be sure whether his guess is correct, so he summons Lin, and it turns out that his doubts are right.
Although the infection of monsters in the forced dungeon is more intense, as long as you don't kill the monsters, nothing will happen. But it's different now. Even if you don't do anything, you will be exposed to the infection all the time. Even if the amplitude is slight, it adds up to a lot.
It is undoubtedly a very terrible thing.
"Is the problem only true in slums, or can it be infected in other places?" Lin Ze had a flash of worry in his heart. If it was the latter, then players other than him would be in trouble.
He was a little worried about Qiao Qi, who was not immune to infection like him. If he stayed in this world for too long, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Master?" Lin noticed his expression and asked softly.
"I'm fine. You can't stay outside for too long. Go back first."
Putting Lin back into the card space, Lin Ze turned around and left the alley, intending to go directly to the church of the God of Judgment.
A high stone wall was built between the slums and the aristocratic area to separate them, and entry and exit could only go through the heavily guarded gate in the middle. It is said that this was not only to isolate the poor, but also to prevent heretics from sneaking into the aristocratic area.
The so-called heretics, according to Dani and others, are rebels who do not believe in the God of Judgment and intend to overthrow the rule granted by the gods to the nobility. However, in Lin Ze's view, they are actually used by the ruling class to exclude dissidents and safeguard their interests.
Just an excuse.
When he arrived at the gate of the Noble District, Lin Ze was surprised to find more than ten people gathered in front of the gate. It seemed that something happened.
"There's nothing to say. My servant saw with his own eyes that you stole my things. How can this be false?"
The speaker was a fat man who looked like an aristocrat wearing luxurious clothes. The fat on his cheeks trembled slightly. His greedy eyes kept scanning a young girl who was slumped on the ground, and his throat visibly rolled.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, very pretty, but her face was full of fear at this time, her hands were tightly holding the arms of a man with rough, dark skin and a vicissitudes of life, and her body was shaking slightly.
Judging from their somewhat similar faces, they are probably a father and daughter.
"It's unfair, sir. It was obviously your servant who accidentally dropped the ring in front of us, but we didn't even touch it!" the dark-skinned man said with a horrified look.
"You mean I framed you?"
The fat noble sneered and said to a handsome middle-aged man with a smile and a peaceful expression beside him, "Your Excellency Gille, you are a devout believer in the God of Judgment and have the power to judge evil. Why don't you tell the difference between these two things?"
Are people thieves?”
"no problem."
Gille glanced at the father and daughter, chuckled and nodded in agreement, but did not make any probing movements. Instead, he said directly: "Baron Pied, they stole your ring."
"We didn't steal..."
The swarthy man's face turned pale with fright, and he wanted to defend hurriedly, but was interrupted rudely by Gille.
"Are you trying to say that as a believer in the God of Judgment, the ruling I made is unfair?"
Glancing at Gille's calm but chilling gaze, the dark-skinned man choked on his words, his lips trembling and unable to speak anymore.
"In that case, come on, please escort these father and daughter back to the mansion. I want to interrogate them properly." Pierre's greedy eyes swept over the girl's plump breasts, patting her protruding belly and laughing.
Several servants on the side immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and tied up the father and daughter who kept begging for mercy.
"Sir Gilles, let's go back to the car," Pierre said.
Ji Le nodded and was about to get in the car when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Ze not far away from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but pause and suddenly turned his head to look. His eyes stayed on Lin Ze's face for a moment, and his eyes gradually brightened, revealing
The same greedy look that Pierre had when he looked at the girl before.
Without hesitation, he immediately pointed at Lin Ze and said in a deep voice:
"Baron Pierre, that man is also an accomplice of the thief. Let's take him back for questioning as well."
