"Damn it!" Zhang Yuanqing cursed inwardly, and immediately pried open the cardinal's mouth, stabbed him hard, and injected a tube of life source liquid. He then took out a tube of diluted life source liquid from me, threw it to Princess Yin Yao, and said quickly: "You come to save him, you communicate with him, if the communication is ineffective, release me from the coffin, or you can kill me again."
After saying this, he used the Star Escape Technique and disappeared under the cabin.
Zhang Yuanqing must go, given his murderous character and his high-frequency aggressive state after being polluted.
Seeing that the cardinal was not dead and Yin Yao had become a deformed person again, she would most likely take direct action. However, Yin Yao calmly picked up the life source liquid, imitated Yuanshi Tianzun to pry open the cardinal's mouth, and injected the diluted life source liquid. Then she withdrew the mountain god's scepter and began to wait for the potion to take effect.
"Crack..." A crisp sound of ice cracking came from the cardinal's body. Not long after, the sleeping bishop opened his eyes with dilated pupils. He sat up and looked around blankly. After seeing the knights in battle and the strange woman with red eyes beside him, he immediately recalled the details before his "death". His pupils contracted violently and he condensed a lightning spear surrounded by arcs without hesitation.
"If I were you, I would wonder why I could be resurrected." Princess Yin Yao raised her trumpet and stared at the cardinal expressionlessly. The cardinal was stunned for a moment, then gradually regained his senses. He did not disperse the lightning spear in his hand, but did not launch an attack immediately.
"You saved me?"
"My master's mind was polluted and his cognition was distorted. After he was nearly blown to death by you, he found himself again." Princess Yin Yao explained calmly.
"He was unwilling to be a puppet and wanted to find a solution, so he asked me to save you. That's how it is. I think with your wisdom, you can tell the truth from the false."
The cardinal took a look at the two suppressed knights, pondered for a few seconds and said: "There is really no need for you to save me." He put away the lightning spear.
"Is there any way to save him?" Princess Yin Yao asked hurriedly.
"The only salvation is to go to heaven and ask God for forgiveness. God will accept all the lambs who have strayed and returned to the right path." The cardinal's charred face showed a pious look and he made the sign of the cross on his chest.
Princess Yin Yao almost wanted to send him to see God. After thinking for a while, she said, "Is there any way to reduce pollution?"
The cardinal looked at the destroyed circle on the ground and said, "The purification ritual can remove the aura of the demons. After Lieutenant Stephen was deformed last time, he briefly regained his self during the ritual!"
Princess Yin Yao hurriedly said: "Please arrange the ceremony again."
"Do you want to accept the net moneyization of Ceremony 0?" The cardinal looked solemn and remained silent.
"What's the problem?" Princess Yin Yao asked back.
"I just feel that it was unjust that they died for me." The cardinal glanced at Isabella and Captain James who died in the battle, and silently made the sign of the cross on his chest.
"Can you make them stop?" The cardinal looked at the two knights who were struggling to hold on.
"They are not under my control!" Princess Yin Yao shook her head. Upon hearing this, Bishop Hong Nong's palm flashed, and a bright blue arc of electricity condensed into a whip. He took two steps forward and swung the handle.
"Zizi, zizi, zizi~" The bishop fired a set of five lightning whips at the Greedy General and the Hundred-Man Slayer one after another. The thunder-attributed spiritual power was so domineering that it destroyed the spiritual seal formation in Yin's body, just like damaging the internal circuit of an electrical appliance. The Greedy General and the Hundred-Man Slayer froze at the same time, and the two knights felt relieved. Their knees softened and they fell to the ground with their swords, gasping heavily.
They did not take the opportunity to kill the two corpses because they saw that the two enemies had revived the bishop. The two seriously injured knights and the cardinal put the bodies of Isabella and James together. After praying silently, a knight used a wet mop to wipe off the incomplete hexagram circle array, and the other knight brought the corresponding materials to assist the cardinal in carving the array.
Princess Yin Yao was watching from the side, holding up a small speaker and saying, "This is not a purification spirit seal. I just thought about it and realized that there is no profession with purification ability in the first district."
The cardinal sprinkled red powder and responded, "I don't understand what you are saying. This is a magic rune, and it is also the rune in ancient legends."
Whether it was the purification of spiritual seals or the "first district", he didn't understand.
"What is the Luduen Rune?" Princess Yin Yao asked when she didn't understand.
The cardinal patiently explained, "Runes are the supreme power in Norse mythology. It is said to be the wisdom that the god king Odin gained from the world tree. It is the source of all magic in the world. The magic used by witches is evolved from runes."
"There are 24 types of Rune Symbols in total, and each type has a different power. The one I'm carving now is the one that symbolizes holiness and light. It has the power and effect of purifying evil."
Princess Yin Yao only half understood what was said and took note of it silently, intending to ask Yuanshi Tianzun later.
She didn't say anything else. The cardinal heaved a sigh of relief when he finished drawing the hexagram circle. Then he turned into starlight and disappeared into the boat room. As the starlight rose, Princess Yin Yao walked to the coffin, knocked on the lid and said tentatively, "Yuan Shi Tian Zun."
No one responded. Princess Yin Yao pushed open the coffin lid and quickly stepped back. At the same time, she let the Elvis speaker play the drum sound that suppressed the spirit, and was ready for battle. Zhang Yuanqing sat up from the coffin lid with a cold expression, but under the shock of the drum sound, his self-consciousness quickly revived and he showed a look of pain.
"It's settled!" Princess Yin Yao said hurriedly.
"Well done." Zhang Yuanqing got up and left the coffin without any nonsense. The coffin could weaken the whispers of the demons and reduce pollution, but it could not completely isolate them. Lying in the coffin was a temporary measure, and accepting the purified wealth was the right way.
Taking advantage of his clear consciousness, he performed the Star Escape Technique and came to the cabin from the ship's room. Zhang Yuanqing's returning light quickly swept over and saw two corpses lying on the ground, but he didn't care. The moonlight fell on the circular formation, and then he looked at the cardinal, who was pointing at the circular formation.
“You should stand inside.”
Zhang Yuanqing calmly stepped into the circle. The cardinal clasped his hands together and put his fists to his chest with his lips, and began to recite a spell silently. After more than ten breaths, the dark red circle was lit up with a pure white light. Zhang Yuanqing felt an angry roar coming from his body, and black smoke rose up and left him. As the black smoke left, their sanity was completely restored, their thoughts were clear, and there was no more cognitive confusion and hallucinations.
But Zhang Yuanqing knew very well that this was only temporary, and the demon seed would continue to pollute (amplify) him as a spiritual realm walker, because this was a "gift" given to him by the copy.
As the thought flashed through his mind, he noticed the cardinal's hostile and vigilant gaze. "Do you still remember your name?" the cardinal asked.
"Stephen Simpson's product," Zhang Yuanqing said. The cardinal was delighted. "It's better than the last purification!"
Looking at the happy cardinal, Zhang Yuanqing thought, when it comes to distorted cognition, the spiritual realm is the most terrifying. In the dungeon, no matter how abnormal the spiritual realm travelers behave, the NPCs will automatically accept it without any doubts. These NPCs are living beings with flesh and blood, carbon-based organisms with independent souls, and are no different from humans in the real world. Zhang Yuanqing suspected that if the spiritual realm did not reset the dungeon, the NCs inside could even become pregnant and give birth to babies.
"Your Excellency the Bishop, please monitor my condition. The demons will contaminate a target every day. If I die, then you and your companions will be contaminated." Zhang Yuanqing said.
“Bishop, you don’t want your companions to be polluted, so please protect me and purify me at all times.” Although he said so, Zhang Yuanqing was not in a hurry to practice the Pure Yang Body Cleansing Record. Night was the time when his Taiyin power was at its peak, and it was not suitable for practicing the Pure Yang Body Cleansing Record.
He turned his gaze toward the low wall of flour bales, behind which the demons were hiding, and the bishop shook his head.
"Could it be a Dominant-level item? Perhaps a certain item?" Zhang Yuanqing manipulated the bishop's emotions, guiding him to be honest, while testing him.
He thought that it was a rare opportunity to come across a copy of 1900 and to contact a spiritual traveler from the Holy See, so he could not miss the opportunity to gather intelligence. This Red-robed Cultist was seriously injured and still in a weak state, so he could be bewitched.
The bishop was silent for a few seconds, and his tone was particularly heavy. "I don't know what it is, nor do I know where it came from. According to the prophecy of the Compass of Light, the alien object that sank into the sea has the terrible power to destroy the world. His Holiness the Pope attaches great importance to this. So he appointed me to deal with it?"
"Compass of Light? Did you just say Compass of Light?" Zhang Yuanqing said in a lost voice.
The cardinal was stunned by his reaction and didn't understand why he was so surprised: "The Compass of Light is a holy object of the Holy See, one of the three holy objects along with the Bathing Pool and the Holy Plate!"
The Compass of Light is actually a sacred object of the Holy See. Hui Chang said that the Compass of Light was thrown out by the Freedom Alliance to promote the confrontation between the camps.
The destruction of the Church is the Free Covenant, so how did the Compass of Light in the hands of the Free Covenant come from?
But I remember Hui Chang also said that the Compass of Light was accidentally brought out from a dungeon by a Spirit Realm Walker?
At that time, Hui Chang and I had a very ordinary relationship, and what he said might not be true. Zhang Yuanqing no longer worried about the origin of the Compass of Light, but started to worry about the prophecy from the Red King.
"Since the Compass of Light predicted that the demons could destroy the world, why did the Vatican only send His Excellency the Bishop to Haicheng?"
Even if the Pope does not come in person, he should send a master. Besides, the horror cruise copy does have a hidden plot, and the demon species is indeed not that simple.
You know, the Compass of Light is a very high-level rule-based prop. The cardinal heard the contempt in Lieutenant Stephen's words and frowned.
"My rank is only below the Pope and the Paladin. Even in the entire spiritual realm, I can still be ranked in the top five. What's the problem with sending me to deal with the meteorite?"
I almost forgot that in 1900, the first zone had only been opened for 16 years. There was no complete dungeon strategy at that time, the spiritual realm walkers upgraded slowly, and the mortality rate was high. It was normal for a peak saint to become the third in command of the Holy See. However, I remember that the Holy See was destroyed during the First World War. In other words, in another 18 years, a demigod will appear in the Holy See, and it will develop very quickly.
The rapid development of the Church is understandable, after all, it is a large organization with a legacy, but why is the evil camp, especially the Free Covenant, developing so fast?
It's a huge organization with three demigods, and Spirit Realm has only been open for 30 years. How did it achieve such a huge growth?
Zhang Yuanqing thought of a lot in an instant, "What level of spiritual realm walker is the Pope? What about the Paladin?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
"The Pope is the ninth-level leader, and the Paladin is the eighth-level leader," the cardinal said in a tone full of reverence.
"Did the Pope obtain the Compass of Light in the spiritual realm?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
The cardinal shook his head: "The prophetic ability of the Compass of Light does not belong to a known profession. It is a treasure handed down from ancient times and has been kept in the treasure house of the Holy See."
"Where is the Vatican's treasure house?" Zhang Yuanqing was excited.
The cardinal looked at him strangely: "If you reveal the location of the treasure, you will not be able to enter heaven after you die. Do you think I will tell you?"
"Lieutenant Stephen is still not in his right mind. How can he ask such a question so confidently when it is such a confidential matter?"
"You will not go to heaven after you die, you will only go to the spiritual realm, like now." Zhang Yuanqing complained, but the cardinal, whose cognition was distorted, automatically ignored the shocking secret revealed in his words.
The Cardinal believed that Lieutenant Stephen was still at risk of mental disorder, so he ignored him. Zhang Yuanqing also stopped talking and silently strengthened his emotional guidance.
After a few minutes, the cardinal sighed and said, "I can tell you that no one knows the location of the Vatican's treasury because it is only recorded on the map. Where the map shows it, it is there."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yuanqing and Princess Yin Yao didn't hear clearly.
"The Pope said that the location of the treasure house changes every once in a while, and we can only find it by following the instructions on the map," the cardinal explained.
"Where is the map?" Zhang Yuanqing asked, silently strengthening the emotional guidance.
"It is kept by successive paladins!" said the cardinal.
"Keeped by successive Paladins? The Knights Templar have all been reduced to ashes..." Zhang Yuanqing felt disappointed, but soon he thought of the deservedly beaten single-generation Knight. The treasure map was kept by successive Paladins...
I think I know why the knight who survived by chance wanted to continue the knight's heritage!
The treasure map is in the hands of the lone knight, or he knows where the treasure map is.
"After I get out of the dungeon, I have to find a chance to contact Danchuan Qitu again." Zhang Yuanqing thought secretly. In addition, he was curious about one thing. According to the introduction of the spiritual realm dungeon, the Haiyan mysteriously disappeared during the mission in 1900 and there was no news of it. If the disappearance of Haiyan really happened in history, then where did the demon species go? What happened next? He was very curious about the whereabouts of the demon species, because according to the prophecy of the Compass of Light, the demon species had the power to destroy the world.
“After leaving the copy, I have to use the Heavenly Punishment channel to investigate,” Zhang Yuanqing said.
In the following time, Zhang Yuanqing, who was silently practicing the Pure Yang Cleansing Record, was no longer contaminated by the demon species, and did not hear the terrible whispers. After dawn, he immediately practiced the Pure Yang Cleansing Record in conjunction with the six-pointed star circle formation to achieve the purification effect, and he spent a small day safely.
During this period, he kept chatting with the cardinal and trying to gather information about the Vatican, but as the cardinal's condition got better and better, it became increasingly difficult to guide his emotions.
Zhang Yuanqing thought for a long time and decided not to commit suicide. He would complete the mission first and see what rewards this S-level copy would give. Anyway, the main task was to survive for five days, not to unlock the seal of the demon species or to kill the lawful professions in the cruise ship.
Time passed by minute by minute, and just after twelve o'clock, Zhang Yuanqing heard a reminder sound from the spiritual realm: "Ding, congratulations, you have completed the single-player spiritual realm mission Thriller Cruise, difficulty level S, and the reward is being calculated..."
