Chapter 6 I am dead, but not completely dead
"Please stop the sacrifice first, Brother Will."
Floy spoke slowly.
call out!
The whistle sounded!
Chen Lun stopped what he was doing and let out a sigh of relief.
Brother Will kept his hands raised and turned to look at Floy with an unfriendly look on his face.
"I hope you have something more important than a sacrifice, Sister."
Floy looked at Will without any emotion, shook her head slightly, and said in a disembodied voice:
“Sacrifice is the supreme will, but the priest said that the sacrifice should be given priority to Group 4…
Too much resources and energy have been invested in this notebook. Since there is no result, there is no need to waste it. "
"damn it……"
Will threw the tome in his hand to the ground.
"Don't threaten me with that old guy, bitch."
He walked up to Floy, pinched her face, and stared down at her beautiful eyes.
"I know that studying that shit plant that was secretly transferred from headquarters is his most important task, but it's not mine...
He doesn’t have the final say here!”
Will pushed Floy away fiercely and turned around.
"continue!"
At his command, the mustache blew the whistle again.
Chen Lun had no choice but to bite the bullet and open his notes.
Wow——
When the title page was opened, the strange words written densely by hand came into view.
His eyes gradually widened and his pupils shrank slightly.
“Ah! Aaaaahhh!!”
Chen Lun fell to the ground holding his head and screaming.
The body was twisted and struggling, behaving exactly like the previous sacrifice who died tragically.
Floy frowned, pursed her lips and stared at Chen Lun who was rolling on the ground, a trace of pity flashed across her face.
There were red marks on her fair face from Will's heavy hand, which looked really pitiful.
Brother Will clenched his fists in disappointment.
After a moment's silence, he waved his hand and several guards immediately came forward.
They picked up the prepared sacks and threw the bodies on the ground into them one by one, preparing to clean them up and take them away for disposal.
The man with a mustache walked to Chen Lun's body, who remained in a twisted posture and motionless.
Just as he was about to lift the body and throw it into the sack, he suddenly heard a faint strange murmur in his ears.
The man with a mustache was stunned.
When he listened carefully, he found that the source of the sound was the corpse next to him!
It's talking!
The man with a mustache was startled and took a step back in response.
"What's wrong? Are you scared by the dead body? Idiot!"
Will questioned gloomily.
"No... no, Brother Will..."
The man with a mustache stared at Chen Lun's body.
"It's talking! By the Rose, it's really talking!"
"Um!?"
The corpse is talking?
Will was stunned for a moment, but then a vaguely exciting idea popped up in his mind.
Could it be that……?
He strode to Chen Lun's body, squatted down, bent over, and listened with his ear close.
The murmuring of words could be heard faintly.
It is really talking!
Will listened quietly to the content, which seemed to be saying:
"...A long, long time ago, an old man was collecting herbs in the mountains and accidentally discovered a cave. The entrance to the cave was dark and secluded, and there were strange rocks outside..."
Will's pupils trembled.
His shocked expression turned into ecstasy the next moment.
"Quick! Help this guy up!"
Will's hands trembled with excitement and he pointed at Chen Lun.
“He was the only sacrifice who did not die, and he understood the contents of the notes!
Sister, write down what he said!"
The man with a mustache and several other guards looked at each other, then forcibly pulled Chen Lun up from the ground.
Chen Lun still maintained a foolish look on his face, sitting on the altar with a silly smile, muttering strange words as if possessed by an evil spirit.
Soon, a guard in a fur coat and a brimmed hat ran over with a pen and paper, handed them to Floy, and asked her to record them in real time.
Floy took the paper and pen, raised her eyes and looked curiously at the man who did not die in the sacrifice.
She was the only one present who knew that Chen Lun had not eaten the apple at all and was not being manipulated. He was just pretending!
However, she could not stop the sacrifice process, nor did she know what the other party had seen in the notes, nor what state he was in at the moment.
There were some ripples in Floy's heart.
“… The old man rescued a pangolin in the cave. The pangolin told the old man that it had accidentally dug through the Gourd Mountain and let the snake monster and the scorpion monster go.
But it has seven gem-like seeds, which can give birth to powerful life comparable to gods and demons after they grow and germinate. The pangolin also said..."
Everyone, including Brother Will, was listening carefully to Chen Lun's story.
"The pangolin also said... also said..."
Will became increasingly anxious, but Chen Lun just kept repeating these two words.
"What else did the pangolin say? Tell me! Tell me now!"
Will grabbed Chen Lun's collar, completely forgetting that it was still stained with the latter's saliva.
But Chen Lun seemed to have turned on the tape recorder mode, just repeating those two words, with no more content appearing.
"damn it!"
Will was mad as hell.
Chen Lun looked at his frustrated appearance and tried hard not to laugh out loud, choosing to maintain an attitude of "I don't know, I only know Aba Aba".
Without paying much attention to Will, he focused on the prompt that popped up when he opened the notebook just now.
[You have discovered the hidden knowledge of extraordinary paths (complete)! ]
[Destiny Faction Sequence 9 Tamer]
[You have met the promotion conditions. Do you want to make it your main occupation? ]
Hidden path!
Chen Lun suppressed his joy and silently chose yes in his heart.
On his dashboard, an entry suddenly appeared in the main occupation column from nothing—
Main Occupation: [Sequence 9 Tamer LV1] (Destiny Faction)
These aren’t the only prompts triggered by the notebook.
[You discovered the mysterious book of the Fate Faction! ]
[Beast Tamer's Manual (Progress 4%)]
[By reading carefully, you gain 40 experience points]
[Through careful reading, you have gained some experience and comprehended the skill [Beast Language]! ]
【Beast Language LV1】
Skill Description: Years of experience as an animal trainer have enabled you to barely understand the language and emotions of animals, and you can also have simple communication with them.
But please promise me that you won’t let them do advanced math problems anymore, okay?
Protecting animals is everyone's responsibility. They don't ask you to eat their excrement, do they?
Chen Lun didn't look carefully at the time, but now he couldn't help but look gloomy after reading it.
[You found the mission item! ]
Philip's Diary
Prop Description: This is a diary written by a stranger named Philip.
It records his wonderful adventures and battle experiences, and perhaps some lofty and great philosophical thoughts and arduous daily practice.
Hey man, by the time you find this diary, I'll be dead...
But don't worry, I will live in your heart.
Chen Lun closed the prompt box and his face became even darker.
If a crescent moon was drawn on his forehead at this time, he could definitely debut as Bao Zheng right away.
Chen Lun began to reflect on himself.
He was wrong, so wrong!
Because of the Red Apple Church's way of doing things, they have a great obsession with [weird things].
Coupled with the deaths of the previous sacrifices, he had always preconceived that the object of sacrifice would be a high-level [monster].
But he overlooked one thing.
That is, except for him, other NPCs cannot see the panel.
The task cannot be triggered, let alone receiving task items.
Therefore, in their eyes, the mission item [Philip's Diary] is a [weird object] that contains mysterious contamination!
But in front of Chen Lun, it was just a simple task prop.
Although he is not a player, he still retains some of the rights that only players have.
Chen Lun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Having escaped the danger, he made up his mind to wait and see.
For a gentleman to take revenge, ten... days are too late.
After he finishes reading the private contents in the diary, that is, the "Beast Tamer's Manual", and accumulates enough experience points, he will definitely teach them a lesson.
"I see."
Will thought for a long time and seemed to understand something.
"He only flipped through the first two pages of the notebook, and of course only saw a little bit of the content..."
His face gradually became excited and his breathing became rapid.
"But judging from the few words he just repeated, the notes must contain precious lost mythological history, and perhaps also contain unknown extraordinary knowledge!"
"Good! Great!"
Will suppressed the almost crazy joy in his heart, and with a flushed face he ordered the guards to take Chen Lun away.
At the end, he hesitated and added:
"Give him something good to eat and give him a bath. I'm really tired of his pig-like stench!
Next, he will need to continue interpreting the notes for the church."
"Yes, Brother Will."
