Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 21 Dissatisfaction
I saw a streak of white, and I didn't need to look any further to know who had done this to me. Who else would be so bored as to wrap a white scarf around their head in the middle of the night? I was so angry that this despicable, shameless, insidious, cunning villain, a traitor, actually tried to kill me at this critical moment . I was suddenly hit hard and unable to control myself. The "Touch of Death" had already been retracted by itself. If I couldn't break the "Redemption of God", I'm afraid all eighteen of us would not be able to escape the punishment of death.
Our eyes met. I glared at me and he looked at me coldly. Then a smug smile appeared on his face. He used both hands to lift me up high and threw me to the side.
My body was tumbling in the air and would soon fall to the ground. I would be dead for sure if I collided with the ground, and I would lose at least 5% of my mental power limit. The "limb amputation operation" would definitely fail, and I would forget about getting the promised items that could increase and restore mental power. I would suffer a huge loss this time, dying from the betrayal of a traitor. I felt so aggrieved and unworthy!
A bit of dark green flashed across the corner of my eyes. It was Long Xing Tian Xia's "Poison Dragon Spear"! Because of his position and resting, he was the first to notice the intention of no one in the middle of the night. He was the one who made the exclamation. Unfortunately, it happened suddenly. It was too late for me to dodge or for him to rescue. There was no way to avoid this shot. I didn't expect that he still had some physical strength to support the "Poison Dragon Spear" again. But it seemed that he was fighting desperately. After launching this attack, he didn't even have the strength to sit up. He collapsed on the ground like a broken body. No matter whether he succeeded or not, he could only be slaughtered.
Just as I landed on the ground, the dark green poisonous dragon had already crashed into the silver plate on the roof that was emitting a dull golden light. My heart was tightly entangled, waiting for the judgment of fate. In a few seconds, I would leave this world. If I still couldn't crack the "Redemption of God", I would probably have to meet that hateful old man in advance.
Amidst the loud crash, the golden light flickered, as if struggling to resist the poisonous dragon's attack. My life had ended, and I had lost control of my body. I could only stare at the silver plate, silently counting one second, two seconds... waiting for the moment when my soul would leave my body.
"Boom", after the last collision, the poisonous dragon disappeared, and my soul slowly floated up. Looking at the golden light around me, I felt gloomy. Did I fail? I couldn't escape the punishment of death after all? Suddenly, the golden light was bright, and then it dimmed sharply in an instant. The golden light column quickly shrank back. I could vaguely hear a "snap" sound, as if something broke, and then it suddenly went dark, and I could no longer feel anything.
"Huh", I let out a long breath. The dark gods blessed me and I survived the disaster. Looking at this familiar "Dead Soul Space" in front of me, I have never thought it was so lovely. Long Xingtianxia's last attack finally cracked the "God's Redemption", not only saving me at the critical moment of life and death, but also relieving everyone's worries. Without the threat of death penalty, we should be able to give it a try. If we cooperate better, maybe we won't be wiped out - I died, and Hongxing, Taotao and the dark knight naturally retreated to the "Dead Soul Space". Long Xingtianxia was exhausted again, and the Sky Knight alone was not easy to deal with. The shameless traitor Yeban Wu Ren appeared inside, and it was estimated that at least half of the manpower would be lost.
Thinking of the lonely night, I was furious again, especially the smug smile on his face when he picked me up. It was obvious that he was taking revenge for the last time I turned the tide and ruined his plan to capture the Tongxin League. What a narrow-minded villain. Since entering Tianxia, I have grown step by step from a rookie to being called the "No. 1 Wizard in the World". It has been smooth sailing. I have never experienced such a tragic defeat and died so miserably. It was all because of the betrayal of this big traitor. The new hatred and the old hatred made me angrier and angrier. I couldn't hold it back anymore and cursed wildly. Anyway, this is the uninhabited "Dead Soul Space". No matter how bad the curse is, I am not afraid that someone will hear it and say that I am "disgraced".
After venting, I finally felt better. However, despite the defeat, I couldn't calm down to level up. Maybe things have been going smoothly recently, and my expectations of myself have been correspondingly higher. I am no longer as tolerant of failure as before. My mind is a mess, sometimes I hate, sometimes I complain. What "limb amputation operation" and what group mission? I really don't know if the person in charge has a brain or how he planned it. Not only did I fail to achieve my goal, but a so-called elite traitor sneaked in and turned against me at the last minute. I may be wiped out. I still want to attack the Church of Light. Isn't this just boosting the enemy's morale and destroying my own prestige, giving the enemy credit for nothing?
I let Taotao and Red Star go "hunting" on their own. I sat there alone. I had originally thought of quitting and wanted to give up participating in the struggle between light and darkness. To put it bluntly, it was a struggle between several large companies in China and the West. What did it have to do with me? What was my original intention in entering the game? First, to help Afeng take revenge on Hua|Hua|Gong|Zi, and second, to make money. With my current strength, it is relatively easy to make money. The reason why I have to work hard to improve is mainly to deal with Hua Mantian. Instead of being blindly commanded by these guys in the dark camp and being frightened all day long, it is better to assist the Tongxin League to develop well, and then compete with Hua Mantian's Huadu Mercenary Group. However, when I was offline to take a break, Afeng told me a "bad news", which forced me to change my mind and continue to devote myself to this war between light and darkness - Hua Mantian decided to change his job to a knight of light, and he has signed up to participate in the prayer ceremony for the first batch of job changers in the Eastern Continent to be held at the Mingguang Cathedral in Baihu City. I believe that with his strength, it should not be a problem to complete the job change task. In this case, Hua|Hua|Gong|zi belongs to the camp of light. If Afeng wants to defeat him in the game according to his goal, in addition to wiping out the Huadu Mercenary Group he founded, he must also help darkness defeat light. This is really adding insult to injury and makes me want to cry without tears. Damn old man, and that fallen king Lucifer, please open your eyes and give us a wise leader!
I have been sitting in the "Dead Soul Space" for six hours. As soon as I was resurrected, I found that I was covered with a layer of red light. The color was not light! Oh, I almost forgot. I broke into the church and made a scene. The mission failed. There were so many witnesses. Long Xingtianxia and I, two "celebrities", must be wanted. I checked the deadline and found that the wanted list was half a month. The crime was "attacking the Eastern Cathedral, personally slaughtering many church members, and participating in the destruction of the holy objects blessed by the Holy Angel". The holy object, I think, is the silver plate on the roof. It was blessed by the Holy Angel. No wonder it has such great power. However, this is also a crime that has been announced openly. It is really a crime that is added to the crime. There is no shortage of excuses.
I heard music in my ears and a document from the system was sent to me. It turned out that the two old guys, Hei Jing and An Guang, asked me to meet again. The time was almost up. They came just in time. I seriously questioned their command and planning capabilities. They almost harmed us. I was just about to ask for an explanation.
They drilled the hole again and found the same layout as last time. Several players had already arrived in the hall. They were all wanted "celebrity". Long Xingtianxia, Long Kong and the necromancer number 17 were also there. It seemed that the intelligence work of the Church of Light was good and they had confirmed the identities of many people.
After fighting side by side together, everyone got to know each other better. They were chatting together, and the topic naturally revolved around the battle of the cathedral and the traitor Yeban Wuren. "That guy is really a piece of shit. He put on that white headscarf as soon as he came out of the cave. I was a little puzzled at the time, and asked him, saying that it was a gift blessed by his girlfriend, and that wearing it during battle would bring good luck. I didn't think much about it and believed his lies. Now that I think about it, it must be a mark that shows his identity as a traitor. No wonder I was constantly injured in the battle, but he next to me was fine. I thought he was just good at it, but it turned out that those NPCs of the light system deliberately let me win in the battle..." The person who said this was a magic knight, who seemed to be in the same group as Yeban Wuren, and was gritting his teeth and "exposing" his crimes.
Maybe I took a little too long to rest offline, so it seemed that I was the last one to arrive. I had just greeted them and had no time to explain in detail before the two old guys, Black Crystal and Dark Light, showed up.
Not only me, Longkong and the others also frowned and glared at us to express their dissatisfaction. What puzzled me was that Anguang also glared at us with a stern face, as if it was not them who made the mistake, but we who offended him. Hei Jing coughed a few times and smiled, "Well... I know everyone is dissatisfied with this mission. The enemy was too strong and there was a traitor. Not only did it lead to the failure of the mission, but it also almost caused everyone to suffer losses. But if you have any opinions, you can sit down and talk about it. There is no need to say such harsh words behind your back. A string of "greetings" with the characteristics of different countries, places and nationalities is really hurtful!"
I see. It seems that they are also very dissatisfied with this mission. They must have been cursing at me deliberately before I came. These two old guys hold high positions, so it is natural that they feel embarrassed to be insulted by them like this.
Number 17 stood up and said, "We didn't want this to happen either, but this mission was really inexplicable. Given the enemy's strength and the arrangements in the cathedral, it was risky for us, just 19 people, to attack the enemy's lair. The intelligence was inaccurate, and the two level 7 bosses and four level 6 small bosses didn't leave the cathedral to hold a meeting. They were said to be selected elites, but there was a traitor who turned against us at the critical moment and killed Ah Dai, almost making us all die a miserable death. In the end, only two of the 18 people escaped the cathedral by stepping on the bodies of other brothers. Isn't this obviously giving the enemy a boost?" He was quite impolite and seemed to be full of grievances. Long Xing Tianxia introduced that his name was Qiu Shui Chang Tian, and he was one of the two people who survived. However, the three summoned creatures, Dark Knight, Black Warrior, and Skeleton King, all died in the battle, and the mission was not completed, so he was naturally very unhappy.
Sobir nodded, "The mission is not going smoothly. We can understand that everyone is upset, but Operation Dismemberment is not just a simple mission to kill people and destroy statues. There are actually other intentions behind it. It is definitely not like what you just said that we are all old and confused, and we are making random plans and playing with your interests."
"It is indeed risky to attack a church with 19 people, but this has been systematically evaluated. Without a few NPCs of level 6 or 7 professions, you definitely have a higher chance of winning. And our intelligence is not wrong. They did go to a meeting, but suddenly received a message in the middle of the way, so they hurried back. According to our speculation, it is very likely that no one leaked it in the middle of the night, and the Church of Light noticed his whereabouts and thus judged our purpose. Although the appearance of the traitor has brought great trouble to your actions, this is originally an implicit part of the mission to be examined, that is, the loyalty of all dark professional players. After all, the 'Resistance Alliance' to be formed in the future must have a group of leaders and backbone members, who must be selected from the players. If their loyalty cannot be guaranteed, it is impossible to confront the Church of Light. Therefore, qualified candidates must pass some tests. Everyone present has been carefully evaluated by us. The members who have passed the preliminary screening will shoulder greater responsibilities in the future struggle. Of course, their work will not be in vain. At the same time, they will enjoy more benefits according to their contributions and achievements."
"Another hidden purpose of the mission is to investigate the church in the Eastern Continent. We have never been clear about the arrangement. Through your battle, the details of the Church of Light have been revealed. In fact, the enemy is not as powerful as it appears. The key lies in the two so-called "holy objects". The most important one is the twelve-winged golden angel statue that you want to destroy. It was blessed by the Holy Angel. The white light column used by the white-robed cardinal to resist the combined attack of the two artifacts was not his own power. At the same time, he prayed with the two archbishops next to him and borrowed the holy power contained in the angel statue to exert it. His own mental power was also consumed a lot. In another situation, he would not have such great ability. The protective white light released by the sixth-level archbishop should not have such power with their strength. It was also borrowed a little holy power in front of the angel statue by praying to enhance the ability of self-defense. Just now, he withstood the full force attack of the 'Poison|Dragon Spear' and the 'Double Slash' of the Terror Knight without dying. As for the 'Holy Disk' on the rooftop that can release 'God's Redemption', it has also been blessed by the Holy Angel. It requires a level 7 or above and eleven level 5 or above priests to stand in a specific position to work together to launch it. After the appearance of the White Cardinal, the enemy relaxed their attack and retreated to the side, which was actually an opportunity to stand in a good position, which also required a lot of mental energy. Didn't you notice that the White Cardinal, apart from using these two skills and summoning a pet, has not participated in the attack so far? Moreover, the 'Holy Disk' is just a little higher, and in fact, it can be attacked and consumed by ordinary skills, but the effect is not as obvious as the artifact. So don't be frightened by the strength shown by the enemy and underestimate yourself. There can't be such a big gap between darkness and light."
