Chapter 018 Who came uninvited?
There are no more kind and innocent villagers, no more nuns and priests...
Those villagers who looked like ordinary people had their skin rotted away, their limbs incomplete, and their white eyes stared at them, murmuring inaudible and filthy words like living people.
As for the unusually beautiful little nun, in Colin's eyes she had turned into a zombie dressed in white clothes, with a rotting and festering face and swollen, white skin like it had been blistered. There was no trace of holiness or beauty at all.
The red-robed priest standing beside her was also a highly decayed zombie...
At the same time, the surrounding buildings seemed to have revealed their original appearance. They had been abandoned for who knows how long and were in a messy and dilapidated state. The walls were covered with mildew and mosses that emitted green light.
The pleasant fragrance in the air turned into a strong, rotten stench that was nauseating.
Colin's body froze, but before he could think about it, the scene in front of him changed again.
The magnificent church, the holy girl, the majestic red-robed priest, the sallow villagers praying for salvation, and the charming fragrance in the air...
Everything seemed to have returned to "original" state, as if what I had just seen was just an illusion.
The few "brave men" around him were still losing themselves in the villagers' calls of "handsome boys" and kept making promises. Colin didn't fit in with them and just felt they were a bit noisy.
However, due to the surprise at that moment, Colin finally remembered his true identity and mission.
"Campfire Special Items Storage Company."
Colin muttered to himself, and suddenly, he established a connection with the company in his mind.
But before he could think about it, he suddenly felt a chill on his scalp and found that the "beautiful girl" was looking at him - he immediately realized that compared with the others, he was the one who was wrong.
“No one knows better than me how to make the world great again!”
Colin spread his palms, made an organ-playing gesture, and blended into the group of eight people behind him. Only then did the girl look away.
"My eight respected warriors, please follow me to the treasure room of the church. I will present you with precious weapons... Eh?! How come... there are nine of us?"
The red-robed priest noticed something was wrong.
"Nine heroes? How could it be possible? One, two, three... nine, there really are nine heroes!"
The girl in the white church uniform stretched out her hand and counted them innocently, then she opened her beautiful eyes wide and exclaimed, "Aren't there only eight heroes?"
Who is it, coming uninvited?
Colin didn't say anything. He looked at the others, seemingly equally confused.
A thin "brave man" wearing a shirt and with messy hair asked curiously, "Maybe it's an accident. Wouldn't it be better to have more people?"
"This..." The girl shook her head, "But the prophecy said there were only eight people..."
"It doesn't matter. Praise the great Creator. This must be His arrangement..." The old man in a red robe and with a dignified face suddenly interrupted.
"It is inevitable that we cannot understand the knowledge left by the great Creator. Since it is the nine heroes, it obviously has a deep meaning."
As he spoke, the bishop of the "Light Church" in a red robe turned around, and the villagers behind him immediately made way for him. "Come, I will give you weapons to defeat the enemy. With them, you can save those who have fallen into darkness."
With such a powerful weapon, why don't you fight it yourself... Colin complained in his heart, looked at the others, and then followed them.
Nine people walked in a group, with villagers kneeling devoutly on both sides. Led by the girl and the old man, they left the altar and walked towards the white church in the town.
"The shape of this church seems a little familiar... Wait, isn't this the kind of church where my former colleague was sacrificed? But it seems to be several times larger. Hmm, this town seems to be a lot bigger than that one."
Colin noticed the sun mark on the white church, a circle surrounded by straight lines of varying lengths.
In addition, there are gray clouds that seem to be constantly surging in the sky...
Plus, there’s a familiar aura of “tyranny” in my heart.
"Beastiality"!
Colin had a smile on his face, but he wanted to curse in his heart. He could confirm that this was a fucking "Advent type" mission!
And the place where he landed was a familiar place.
The key is that this time he came to this world in his real body!
The “Dice of Probability” misled me!
He cursed inwardly, then skillfully retrieved the information related to the mission in his mind...
【Event: " A call from afar". 】
[Description: The mysterious disappearance of some marginalized groups has attracted the attention of the company. After investigation, it is found that unknown forces are infiltrating reality and taking people to a world outside this land through means that ordinary people cannot discover.]
[Requirements: Temporarily suppress the memory, comply with the summons, kill the main body after finding it, and complete the collection of the body of the mastermind. ]
【Remaining time: 14 hours, 33 minutes, 33 seconds.】
[Note: Save the victims as much as possible. This will help you get a higher mission rating. When necessary, you can actively activate the power of "beastiality" to break the illusion and face the enemy.]
[Finally, Bonfire Company (full name: Bonfire Camp Special Item Accommodation Company) wishes you all the best in this event! ]
Why did the people here trick ordinary people from Earth into coming here? Was it really because of the so-called brave prophecy? Colin's expression remained unchanged, and he looked around secretly, preparing to observe first.
The mission requires you to collect the body of the mastermind.
Most of those in front of us are just its puppets.
He needed to gather more information.
Anyway…
Being careful and cautious never goes out of style.
"Brother..."
Colin felt someone touching his shoulder. He turned around and saw the slightly fat young man with messy hair.
"What's the matter?" Colin asked.
"Uh, I just want to ask, you keep looking at Sister Elisa... You don't like her, do you?" he asked with a blush.
"No." Colin shook his head decisively, "I'm not interested in women."
Especially the rotten type of girl...
"Huh...that's good. In that case, I will pursue her."
That buddy is really awesome. Colin's mind flashed with the image of the girl's extremely decayed and festering face, and he expressed his admiration for the brave man who wanted to be a undead knight.
"Let's meet. My name is Liu Dun. I came here because I feel that reality is boring. There are all kinds of people everywhere, such as the Fun People, the Diodes, and recently there are some people called Zuwang Dao, and they are either Pitu or Jianzheng. That's why I came here in response to the prayers of the natives. I want to build an utopia here, an utopia without disputes and hunger. You can receive the call just like me, so I think you are also a person with a skill at the same level as me. What's your name?"
There was a hint of pride on Liu Dun's face, and a sense of superiority was evident when he talked about the locals.
From the introduction just now, he already knew that this was an ancient, backward and barbaric world with magic, waiting for them to conquer.
And under the influence of some factors, he also believes that he can solve everything.
