Chapter 45: Item 2: Picking up the item - Candy store
Shen Li tried hard to see the man's face clearly.
He felt a dull pain in his heart and looked down at his chest.
At some unknown time, a cut was made in the chest cavity, and bright red blood flowed out continuously.
The hand that was pinching his chin gradually loosened its grip.
When Chen Li looked up again, the man had disappeared in the white mist.
It hurts so much, my heart hurts so much that I can’t breathe.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and found himself lying flat on his back with his hands spread out on both sides, his whole body in the shape of a cross.
He couldn't move his hands at all; the long nails nailed his hands to the table.
He tried to struggle twice, and although he was conscious, his body was still weak.
The masked High Priest of Desire gently stroked his cheek and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'll be gentle."
As he said this, he reached into his chest and grabbed his heart.
It hurts. It hurts so much.
As the heart was taken out, Shen Li's eyes went dark and he fell into complete darkness.
Is he dead?
Chen Li looked around. Is this the world after death? It's too dark.
Although I couldn't see anything, it was surprisingly peaceful.
There was a feeling of relief.
What is that?
Shen Li saw a ball of white light not far away.
The glowing object seemed to be not far away from him, but no matter how long he walked in that direction, he could not get close to the light.
He could now finally feel the confusion that the boy from the locust tree felt when he talked about time.
He didn't know how long he had been traveling in this direction, ten days, a month, or a year?
Time had no effect here and he was tortured by endless hunger.
It turns out that even if you die, you will still feel hungry.
At the same time, Yu Qianqian and the big guy, who arrived late, rushed into the cathedral and saw Song Buyu who was hit hard on the back of the head.
While the big guy was in the front, Yu Qianqian took advantage of the chaos to drag Song Buyu over.
There was blood all over Song Buyu's forehead. She was terrified and was at a loss as to how to stop the bleeding.
After waiting for a while, Song Buyu finally came to his senses and pointed in the direction of the side door, "Save Chen Li..."
Yu Qianqian was so anxious that she almost cried, "There is a barrier there and we can't get in. The big guy is banging on the door."
"We have limited abilities. We have used all the tools we can. We can only save you, but not him."
Yu Qianqian realized the truth earlier than Song Buyu.
"Also, I just took a peek through the crack in the door, and he...he seems to have..."
Yu Qianqian actually likes Chen Li very much.
The kind of love between friends.
She always remembered the words that Shen Li said to comfort her under the old locust tree that day.
She turned her face away sadly, wiped her tears, and controlled her emotions before continuing to describe what she had seen.
"His heart was dug out by the high priest."
Song Buyu didn't say anything else.
In fact, over the years, he watched people he knew die one after another during delivery missions.
He thought he had gotten used to it, but it turns out he still feels sad.
He rested his head on Yu Qianqian's legs, looked up at the painted dome of the cathedral in a daze, and choked silently.
…
…
The high priest held the heart in his hand and carefully offered it in front of the black goat's head.
There was a red light in the holes of the black goat head's eyes, as if it was examining something.
"no!"
It roared angrily: "This is not the one I want!"
The Greedy High Priest knelt on the ground, "Not this one? But he only has this one heart..."
How can one person have two hearts?
The greedy high priest's inappropriate questioning completely angered the black goat.
A steady stream of black flames emerged from the black goat's eyes.
The other high priests were so frightened that they held their breath and trembled all over.
They didn't dare to look up, because at this moment, the Greedy High Priest was screaming in pain.
All the bones in the Greedy High Priest's body were broken and his whole body was twisted into a ball.
After a while, the black robe and greed mask belonging to him fell down.
"Meh..."
A black goat emerged from under his black robe.
The High Priest of Greed was transformed into a black goat.
…
…
Chen Li felt like a walking corpse at this moment.
His steps have changed from firm at first to slow now.
He fell countless times along the way, but still staggered towards the light.
The silver snake ring on his index finger was spinning restlessly. At the moment when he was about to fall, Shen Li blinked, and the untouchable light was suddenly right in front of him.
That is a glowing heart.
He held up the heart in confusion, then looked down at his empty chest.
Although he was just holding it in his hands, he could feel that with every beat of this heart, a steady stream of life was flowing into his body.
The hunger that had tormented him for centuries was gradually soothed.
Perhaps he had been walking alone in the dark for too long.
This warm beating heart became his only salvation at this moment.
Shen Li smiled and embraced the heart into his chest without hesitation.
A gust of wind suddenly blew up near the altar.
The blood that was lost from Shen Li's body was flowing back.
The five-pointed star pattern soaked in blood instantly lost its effectiveness.
Chen Li's body gradually rose into the air and hovered in the air.
The wound in the chest cavity gradually healed.
The red curtain was lifted, and the high priests knelt on the ground and trembled like sieves.
The Black Goat God felt an unprecedented oppression.
Outside the barrier, Yu Qianqian and Song Buyu, who were immersed in sadness, suddenly felt something.
But the side door was closed and they could not see anything.
There were several times when Yu Qianqian wanted to get closer to the door to take a look, but the aura surging from inside the door made them feel fear for no reason.
It was already good enough that he didn't kneel down, how could he dare to look?
The high priest inside the barrier was almost crawling on the ground.
It doesn't matter who they are kneeling to.
The momentum oppressed them to the point of fainting on the spot.
The Black Goat God re-examined Shen Li with his empty eye sockets and found that his aura had changed.
"How dare you!"
It roared angrily, "How dare you fuse that heart! I said it was mine! Mine!"
Shen Li's body floated in the air. Hearing the black goat head uttering vicious curses, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
In the end, he did the same thing as those foxes.
Take that heart, and the power it contains, for yourself.
It was only because of the existence of the seal that his flesh and blood body did not disintegrate immediately.
At this moment, Shen Li is on the verge of losing control, losing his mind, and acting on instinct.
He found the talking black goat head annoying, so he moved his finger in its direction.
The black goat's head shattered instantly.
This is not the end.
Shen Li's action also made the evil god who had been lurking here extremely angry.
In the center of the barrier, the ground collapsed and cracked.
The cracks extended outward onto the hillside outside the church.
Yu Qianqian and Song Buyu, who were also crawling on the ground due to fear, felt their legs go weak.
Ten thousand voices are roaring in my head, run!
But his body was no longer under the control of reason.
If the big guy hadn't grabbed the two of them at the last moment and took them out of the church, they would have probably fallen into the increasingly large crack in the ground.
There was a raging fire deep in the crack of the ground, like hell. Before Yu Qianqian and Song Buyu fainted, they seemed to hear many people wailing in their ears.
Countless black shadows escaped from the cracks in the ground. Are they evil ghosts or vengeful spirits?
Countless red windows popped up on the instrument detecting the copies.
There were constant alarm sounds inside Wuliang Express.
[Inner world number 297, unknown energy fluctuations detected, danger level, SSS+]
"The other world number 297? Isn't this the copy of Shen Li?"
Chu Yan immediately contacted Ye Minglang to report the news that the copy was attacked by unknown energy fluctuations.
"What should we do? Zao Wu and Qian Shi are still in the dungeon. Now the signal is completely cut off and we can't contact them."
Before, Ye Minglang asked the two of them to keep an eye on this copy, so they lurked in the copy as NPCs.
According to the emergency procedures of the Wuliang Express Company, when encountering such a situation, the copy must be closed immediately to prevent other worlds from being affected.
"Half an hour." Ye Minglang gave Chu Yan a death order.
"If I'm not back in half an hour, block the instance."
Chu Yan frowned and watched the boss teleport into the dungeon. He stared at the time without relaxing for a moment.
In the corner, Xiaowu, a new employee who was watching a TV series, looked up curiously.
"Something terrible seems to have happened in the company..."
Xiao Ji, a new employee who was addicted to the fishing game, quickly pressed Xiao Wu's head.
"Don't ask, just play dead."
Even if the sky falls today, it cannot stop the determination of these two marginalized people to give up.
Inside the church, the colorful dome is collapsing and the high walls of the church are crumbling.
The dark shadows deep in the crack gathered together, and a huge black goat head poked out from the crack.
Its body is made up of countless bones, without a trace of flesh.
The black goat head that crawled out of hell exuded a disgusting stench and confronted the Shenli floating in the air.
For a moment, no one was at a disadvantage.
Shen Li looked down at the evil god that crawled out of hell.
"I don't like you, so please go back to where you came from."
Even when you are on the verge of losing control, always remember to use polite language.
The word "please" was used.
As he said this, he made a hand seal towards the black goat's head.
A huge pressure mixed with a hurricane came towards them, and the black goat was pressed down so hard that it couldn't raise its head.
The Black Goat tried his best to withstand this wave of pressure, and now black blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.
It defines Chen Li as: an equally matched opponent who still has the strength to fight.
Before it even made a move, the opponent used a killing move. It must be very angry if it didn't kill it in one shot. It's still unclear who will win or lose.
There are countless vengeful spirits in hell for it to command, and now it is its turn to use its killing move.
Who knew that the floating Shen Li suddenly released the force that was pressing on the black goat's head, looked at his palm in confusion, and then evaluated it:
"You are strong."
Black Goat: “Of course!”
Shen Li: "So from now on, I'm going to be serious."
Black Goat: “???”
Wait! So you were just warming up?
