Before the shooting, the statue of the Virgin Mary shed more and more black tears, which became thicker and thicker.
The black tears dripped onto the ground, but did not spread out like water. Instead, they squirmed as if they had their own life and will, gradually gathering together to form the shape of a tiny monster.
At the same time, soft whispers sounded in Lu Ban's ears.
These whispers are not human language, but some kind of voice from eternity. These voices will not disappear with the changes of human civilization. They are engraved in the genes of all living things and can evoke the most instinctive fear.
Lu Ban felt that his surroundings were plunged into darkness, and he saw many people lying in the darkness.
Drizzt, who had turned into a mummy, looked emaciated. Sounds came from his withered throat. He stretched out his hand towards Lu Ban and uttered whimpering words.
"Why didn't you stop me, why didn't you save me..."
Her whole body was covered in festering wounds and blood. Wearing long boots and a kimono, one of Hongye's eyes had fallen out. Her expression was ferocious, and thick black fog filled the air around her.
"You could have changed everything. You could have saved everyone..."
Amber, whose flesh and blood had been burned away and whose body looked even smaller, stared at Lu Ban with empty eyes, and a voice filled with burning breath lingered around.
"You killed me, you killed me, why, why, I trusted you so much, but you sent me to the altar with your own hands..."
There were many more deaths experienced during the missions. The undead surrounded Lu Ban, accusing him with intertwined voices, trying to torture his will.
All the sins, regrets, and pains now became physical and were repeated before Lu Ban's eyes.
At the same time, another voice entered Lu Ban's mind.
That language also comes from the ancient Old Ones. It is messy and complex, but it goes straight to the heart.
"Embrace the darkness, feel the joy of reproduction, and reap the harvest!"
These words sang the praises of darkness, instigating Lu Ban to fall into it, causing his body to mutate, grow, and thrive.
Soon, Lu Ban's abdomen swelled up as if she was ten months pregnant.
He felt a pain in his abdomen, accompanied by a strong feeling of nausea and vomiting, and then Lu Ban's abdomen began to rise and fall.
It was as if some creature was growing inside, the round belly became uneven, and the feeling of something breaking out of the body became stronger and stronger.
When Scott saw this scene, he covered his mouth, stunned. He had never seen such a scene in his previous reincarnation cycles. Even so, Scott still held the camera in his hand to record it all truthfully.
Lu Ban bent down slightly, and then leaned back with all his strength as if he wanted to break his spine.
Snap——
Hearing the sound of breaking bones, Scott stared at Lu Ban intently.
Puff——
Suddenly, there was a sound of something bursting in Lu Ban's abdomen, followed by a heart-wrenching tearing sound.
The fetus in the womb penetrated Lu Ban's stomach and came into this world.
Black blood splattered on the statue of the Virgin Mary, making her skirt dusty and dirty, and the thing in Lu Ban's stomach was stretching out a hand, trying to grab something.
"Director Lu Ban!"
Scott exclaimed. Just when he thought that Lu Ban was beyond help and was about to be killed by this strange statue, he suddenly discovered that the thing born from Lu Ban's belly was actually a human being.
Moreover, although the man was covered in thick black blood, he did not appear distorted. After crawling out of Lu Ban's stomach, he slowly climbed up.
As for Lu Ban, his eyes had rolled back and he gradually dissolved into a pool of meat paste.
Scott saw that the person born from Lu Ban's belly was still Lu Ban.
"Born again."
Lu Ban touched his belly to make sure there was no other little Lu Ban inside.
The meat paste on the ground gradually gathered and returned to Lu Ban's body.
"Just the mumbling alone is enough to make people feel alienated. Should we say that it is worthy of being a god of the same level as Charlotte's original body?"
Lu Ban whispered, he raised his hand, a silver revolver [Last Words] appeared in his palm, and he fired decisively at the weeping statue of the Virgin Mary.
When the illusory word bullet hit the statue, it shattered.
What was unexpected was that beneath the gray stone of the statue was black flesh and blood.
The flesh and blood were even still wriggling, like a living creature.
The statue of the Virgin Mary stood here like the monsters in Jiangcheng Mountain that were petrified because their masters were sealed. The wriggling flesh and blood flowed out, as if trying to find a new host.
"It seems that this is the reason why this place is trapped in reincarnation."
Lu Ban didn't hesitate and gave these flesh and blood a good beating.
The whispers in his ears suddenly became much quieter, but there were still some tiny words like the wind blowing in his ears from all directions.
Every statue in this city seems to be a source of evil gods' followers.
But Lu Ban was not prepared to destroy all the statues himself. He only issued a task in [Morning Star]. Soon, explosions were heard in Miskatokeli, one after another.
Lu Ban saw that the players on the street were holding all kinds of things and smashing, looting and burning everywhere. The residents hiding in the houses were at a loss. The churches had been smashed open by hammers. The believers inside were fighting with the players. The statues of gods were covered in flames, and the black tears continued to evaporate in the flames, turning into mist and dissipating.
Since the task Lu Ban gave the players at the beginning was exploration, and this place was indeed a bit weird, the players' progress was very slow.
But Lu Ban directly changed the mission objective to destroy the statues in the church and get rid of the believers, and the nature of the game changed.
Many players' blood pressure will soar during the puzzle-solving stage, and they will want to throw the controller away, but once the BOSS's health bar is lit, there is nothing they can do about it.
Players are the most chaotic beings. No matter whether they are NPCs or not, no matter what the consequences are, as long as they have weapons in their hands and the opponent has health bars, it is difficult for them to resist poking them.
It can be said that Lu Ban has now freed the players from the last restrictions, so these guys who are not afraid of death will naturally begin to bring some excitement to the world.
Scott followed behind Lu Ban, recording everything with the camera in his hand.
He never thought that he would see such a scene one day.
Those terrifying and irresistible monsters were actually defeated by a group of humans.
Lu Ban was walking in the front. He came to the campus square of Miskatoke University, where stood a towering statue.
Lu Ban only needed to take a glance to understand that this was the source of Miskatoke's mutation.
