Chapter 4 Hidden Mission
The introduction to Floy's background in the previous life's post was not long, perhaps because the player who wrote the post at the time did not have a deep understanding of it, but the information above was enough for Chen Lun to come up with a temporary response plan.
Floyd was born in a slum.
Her father is a gambler, her mother is a dancer, and she has a brother who loves her very much.
She is pure in nature and beautiful in appearance.
The local thugs and drunkards in the neighborhood all wanted to take advantage of her, but fortunately her brother stepped forward to protect her.
Although her brother was beaten and injured every time, he would always turn around with a bruised face and grin at her, comforting and encouraging her not to be afraid.
It seemed that as long as her brother was around, she would feel safe and happy .
The good times did not last long, as famine and plague enveloped the town.
A large number of civilians died in this natural disaster.
Food was becoming less and less, prices were rising, and the already poor Floy family could no longer make ends meet.
The lazy father and the mean mother decided to sell Floy to the Baron Barnett family in the town.
Although Floy was only fourteen years old at the time and long-term malnutrition made her a little thin, her appearance and body had grown up, and her pretty face hid a bit of future beauty.
She'll definitely fetch a good price.
That’s what parents think.
Of course, even though Baron Barnett's family had a bad reputation.
For example, all the men, young and old, in the Baron's family have strange or even perverted habits, and one can often hear rumors of maids dying suddenly.
But Floy's greedy parents don't care about this.
Fortunately, Floy's brother stopped her parents from doing this crazy thing.
In order to protect his sister, he offered to work for the Red Apple Church in exchange for a large amount of money.
At that time, the Red Apple Church was aggressively recruiting young and middle-aged men, claiming that they were building a statue for the church's deity, Lady Rose.
But many young and middle-aged people who signed up did not come back. The church explained that an accident unfortunately occurred in the quarry.
Because of the generous compensation and the strong position of the church, this incident did not cause much disturbance.
Floy's brother also became one of the unfortunate ones and never came back.
After hearing the news, she had no time to grieve before her cold-blooded parents sold her to the church.
Father Carter, who came with his brother's death compensation, took a fancy to her because of the church's generosity and said that she was the best choice to serve Madam Rose...
…
"What’s wrong with you?"
Floy asked softly.
The young man was slightly stunned when he heard the question, and raised his head to look at the red-robed nun.
But he quickly lowered his eyes and tilted his head slightly, as if he didn't want this holy girl to see his cowardly behavior of crying.
"I…I miss my sister."
"Do you have a sister?"
"Um."
Chen Lun hugged his knees and curled up in the corner of the cell.
His mind began to frantically recall scenes from his past life. In fact, he was not lying, he did have a sister.
Chen Lun once had a happy family. Although not rich, they had enough food and clothing.
However, his father died young due to a family genetic disease, and his sister and he were no exception, both suffering from the disease.
Their mother couldn't stand the pressure of life and abandoned them and ran away from home.
The brother and sister who depended on each other could only survive on the social welfare at the time, but they had no extra money to treat their illness.
Their family genetic disease is very complicated.
Even with the medical technology at the time, it required a huge amount of money to control the disease and it could not be cured.
Later my sister left too.
Chen Lun was heartbroken.
He actually didn't have any great pursuits, he just hoped to see more and broader scenery in the remaining short life.
Fortunately, there is the holographic game "Secret Era", which allows him to lie in a second-hand old sleeping cabin and experience a wonderful life...
"We are orphans, our parents left us very early...
Although the days when my sister and I depended on each other were hard, we were also very happy. It's a pity that I will never see her again."
Chen Lun lowered his head and spoke calmly and slowly.
He recalled every little detail of his time with his sister and was moved with real emotion.
The tears may be deliberately sentimental, but the sadness is real.
Floy could clearly feel the sadness coming from the young man.
The emotion grew stronger and stronger, and she couldn't help but think of her brother, while she also ignored the glimmer of light from the necklace on Chen Lun's neck.
"elder brother……"
Floy clenched her fingers, as if she had made a decision.
She bent down slightly and moved closer to Chen Lun.
"Eat the cake, but don't eat the apple, remember..."
After whispering, Floy returned to her expressionless attitude and turned away.
[Gain Floy's favorability and establish a bond with Floy]
[Open A-level hidden serial mission: Sister of Tranquility]
Chen Lun was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed.
I was just acting out a scene, but I didn't expect to trigger an extremely rare hidden mission, and it's an A-level serial mission!
He endured the splitting headache caused by his sanity value dropping by -1 again after using [Siren's Song], took a deep breath, and quickly pulled himself together to check the task instructions.
[First round: Rescue Floy from the Emerald Town branch of the Red Apple Church while ensuring her survival. If Floy dies, the mission will be considered a failure.]
[Quest Reward: 2000 Experience Points, 40 Silver Barons, Floyd's Favorability, and [Low-Sequence Flesh and Blood Faction Mysterious Substance] *1]
[Note: This mission will arouse the hostility and attention of the Red Apple Church, please decide carefully]
"accept!"
Chen Lun took on the task without any hesitation.
Regardless of what the final reward for this hidden mission is, the reward given in the first ring is the resources he urgently needs.
Besides, how could he watch this poor girl suffer in the fire pit?
"My biggest shortcoming is that I like to meddle in other people's business... Alas, being too upright is not a good thing. If you are targeted by the Red Apple Church, you will definitely not have a good time."
He wiped away the remaining tears on his face and was almost moved to tears by his own justice.
Although he played pitiful to gain sympathy and even used the hypnotic ability of the necklace by any means necessary, it was only to get closer to Floy and increase the chances of escaping from here.
Receiving the hidden mission was purely a pleasant surprise, as he had originally planned to save Floy.
In the previous life, when I learned about the tragic experience of this villain boss, I felt very sorry for her.
Now that he has such an opportunity, he will not let it go easily.
Chen Lun thought about his next move and began to tear into the unleavened bread in his hand.
The pancake didn't taste good, but Chen Lun was so hungry that he swallowed it in no time.
Following Floy's advice, he did not eat the apple, but secretly stuffed the apple into a rat hole in the corner.
Soon, Chen Lun discovered something was wrong.
The young men and women who had finished the "holy communion" stood up one after another.
Their eyes were empty, their mouths were wide open, and they smiled like foolish fools.
Chen Lun was stunned by this scene.
He realized that he would look out of place if he continued sitting, so he stood up quickly.
Just then, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the prison, and the dark shadow reflected on the opposite wall was getting closer.
Chen Lun cursed inwardly, and immediately imitated the people around him and smiled like a fool.
His eyes were empty, his mouth was wide open, and hada was flowing out.
He fits in perfectly with the group.
