"Tiger Bro... these guys have come back to life!"
The students at the gene company were horrified to discover that more and more demonized townspeople seemed to be escaping.
Under the cover of night, the dark town is illuminated only by a few blood-red lanterns hanging from the eaves of houses along the roadside.
A group of demonized townspeople, their bodies radiating black demonic energy, screamed hysterically and surged towards them relentlessly.
That scene looked just like something out of an ancient zombie game!
Tiger Xiong broke out in a cold sweat.
These townspeople themselves are not scary.
The key point is that they are impossible to kill! And they are not afraid of death!
Moreover, each time they are killed, they gain even stronger demonic power!
Gradually, it has upgraded from the initial evil spirit level to the demon level!
Some of them are even evolving towards the level of demons!
"Damn it, this can't go on!"
Tiger Xiong delivered another powerful punch, sending a townsman flying.
[Hint: You killed one townsman]
[Hint: Your sin value +1]
Tiger, utterly bewildered by the purpose of these constantly popping up sin points, cursed, "We have to get out of here!"
The others had also long wanted to leave this place of trouble.
"Brother Tiger, these townspeople seem to be harboring more and more resentment and hatred towards us!"
"Nonsense! If you were killed so many times, you'd be furious too!"
As Hu Xiong spoke, he pulled out two smoke grenades and threw them on the ground...
The white smoke dissipated instantly.
"withdraw!"
Tiger roared, and then led the other five men away.
However, the demonized townspeople seemed unaffected by the mist and continued to pursue them.
"A sinful outsider!"
"You can't escape!"
"The Holy Maiden will execute you vile demons!"
"Wait to be purified by the Holy Flame of the Saintess!"
"......"
......
midnight.
Fang Wu lay on the floor and fell fast asleep.
Linnaeus, who was reclining on the chair, suddenly opened his eyes.
A shadow wolf, like a ghostly apparition, slipped in through the window and obediently came to Linnai's side.
"How did it go? Tell me," Lin Nai said softly.
The Shadow Wolf lowered its head beside Linnaeus, but it didn't seem to say anything.
But Linnaeus seemed to have already understood what it wanted to say.
"Saintess?"
Lin Nai stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
It seems there's some kind of boss lurking in this town.
She is probably the saintess these townspeople are talking about.
Could this saintess be the key to passing this "hurdle"?
"As expected, I knew it..." Hua Lingze's voice suddenly came.
Lin Nai paused for a moment, then turned around to look.
It turns out that Hua Lingze has also woken up.
"You said you were sleeping, but you were secretly gathering intelligence after all." Hua Lingze said with amusement.
Lin Nai laughed: "And what about you? You weren't asleep either, were you?"
Hua Lingze: "Yes, how could anyone sleep in such an environment?" As he spoke, he raised one index finger, and a paper pigeon immediately flew from outside the window onto his finger.
"Ha...dulu..." Fang Wuqing's clear snoring came from the floor.
Lin Nai & Hua Lingze: "......"
"Hmm...sometimes it's good for people to be a little naive." Lin Nai glanced at the sleeping Fang Wu and sighed.
Hua Lingze shrugged: "Who says it isn't?"
Lin Nai turned around: "So what information did you get?"
Hua Lingze stroked the paper pigeon that was perched on her hand: "It should be the same as you."
"Hu Xiong and his gang have already killed many townspeople. They are probably hated to death by the people of this town."
"Some of the demonized townspeople, after being repeatedly killed by them, have evolved into the level of demons."
"By the way, who do you think that saintess the demonized townspeople are talking about is?"
Lin Nai thought for a moment: "It's probably the big boss of this level."
"Hmm." Hua Lingze nodded, then hooked the paper pigeon's head with her finger: "It's a pity. I just sent out the pigeon, hoping it would find out where the 'destination' marked on the system map is, but the paper pigeon couldn't find any clues at all."
“This round will probably test more than just simple reconnaissance skills; it will also test puzzle-solving abilities.” Lin Nai grabbed some dried fruit from the fruit plate on the nearby table and popped it into his mouth. “Otherwise, we would have already cleared the game by now.”
“That makes sense.” Hua Lingze walked to the windowsill and looked at the night view of the town outside.
Then, his perpetually calm and relaxed expression froze, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Linna asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
"..." Hua Lingze's expression became very complicated. After a long silence, he slowly spoke again: "You...come and see for yourself."
"?" Lin Nai looked puzzled, rolled off the recliner, and went to the windowsill.
Linnaeus's eyes widened when he saw the town outside.
What's going on?
He remembered that the inn was originally located next to the town's main gate!
They chose this location because it allows them to keep a close eye on the town's entrances and exits!
And now...
The town gate has disappeared!
Moreover, the entire town seemed to have been enlarged several hundred times...
As Linnai looked around, all he saw were densely packed, antique-style ancient buildings. Although quiet under the night sky, they appeared exceptionally prosperous, stretching as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight...
This is far beyond the size of a small town! If this were ancient times, it would be at least the size of a capital city!
"What the hell is going on??" Lin Nai subconsciously gripped the windowsill frame tightly.
Hua Lingze shook his head with a wry smile: "I reckon it won't be so easy for us to leave the city and get out of here now..."
Lin Nai remained silent for a long time.
Then he picked up his black coat.
"Where are you going?" Hua Lingze asked.
"In this situation, how can you sit still?" Lin Nai glanced at him.
"Knock knock knock"
Just then, someone knocked on their door.
Lin Nai and Hua Lingze both became alert at the same time: "Who?"
Outside the door, Old Zhang's soft voice came: "Gentlemen, are you asleep?"
Lin Nai and Hua Lingze exchanged a glance.
Linnaeus went to open the door.
Old Zhang's shiny, smiling face appeared before them in the dim candlelight.
He held a candle in his hands, its faint flame flickering in the darkness.
"Boss?" Lin Nai paused, then asked tentatively, "Is there something you need?"
