Volume 7: War and Peace in an Abandoned Town Chapter 16: Night Stranger
"Is this the place..."
Sliding along the marked road, Li Lin soon stopped his wheelchair in front of a large house that looked relatively empty.
If possible, he doesn't want to solve the problem with violence. In fact, Li Lin is a pacifist and a very kind person. He doesn't like to solve problems with violence, because there will be no benefit except the wreckage.
On the contrary, Li Lin really likes the employment system and communication in Fog City. Enemies can communicate, and so can people. In this way, there is space for mutual communication and recognition, and Li Lin doesn't have to run around and get harassed by enemies and people. Isn't this a good life? However, the fact is that any game will be unfriendly at a certain level.
Especially when there are restrictions on high-level books, this unfriendly attitude becomes more prominent.
Well, if that's the case, Li Lin's idea of being a good person has been shattered, so we can't blame him for using some evil ways to play . Although he didn't cheat or anything else, Li Lin had a lot of ways to surpass ordinary players.
If you are desperate, can you just extract the soul from the person and make it into a doll or something else? This does not require magic, it is simply a fairy tale ritual. Fairy tale knowledge is powerful and weird, and it does not make any sense at all. With fairy tale knowledge as the confidence and immortality as the shield, this is why Li Lin dared to come to this high-level map and go wild.
Even though he asked for a hammer and got it, and eventually lost all his martial arts skills and became half useless, this doesn't affect his knowledge at all, right?
"Ahem, hello, old gentleman inside."
Li Lin knocked on the door of the house politely and said politely:
"I want to ask some questions. Even if we don't go into the house, we can communicate with each other through the door. I want to ask what happened in this place-"
"If you don't get out of my way, I'm going to use this thing on you, monster."
A dark gun barrel stretched out from the door and was quietly aimed at Li Lin's body.
The voice of the old man behind the door was not very clear, but it had an indescribable viciousness to it.
That was a disregard for life and indifference to the outside world. He didn't care what Li Lin was saying, he only cared about what he was saying. And this state is often the most difficult to communicate. Or, it is impossible to communicate at all.
Forcing a smile, Li Lin walked forward and tried to make a final explanation.
"I don't want to threaten you or anything, I just come to ask questions-"
"Stop talking nonsense to me and get out of here now!"
"Calm down, I really mean no harm!"
"roll!"
With a bang, a gunshot rang out, and an arm was splashed with countless blood.
The old man hiding at the door naturally had no idea what the result of his shot was. He just whispered stubbornly at the door:
"Get away from me, monster! You can be so arrogant only for tonight! Sooner or later, the Lord will return to this world and punish you scum and garbage, and let you fall into eternal darkness!"
The muzzle of the gun was retracted from the crack in the door, and the owner of the voice seemed to want to close the door.
But at the moment when he was about to close the door, a skeleton-like hand suddenly grabbed the door frame and gradually pulled it outwards. Outside, a face half covered in blood and flesh showed a terrifying smile.
"Don't be so anxious, fellow..."
“——!!!”
"You guys really don't want to accept my toast... Do you really think I'm afraid of map suppression?"
Looking at the terrified old man, Li Lin held the moon-white sickle and stuck it on the door frame, swinging it back with force. With the sound of the axle breaking, the dark fire from the oil lamp that was blown up by a gun outside the door gradually spread and ate away at the inside.
Standing in the dark green fire, Li Lin looked at the old man who couldn't even speak clearly because of fear, and smiled. Countless tentacles and blood plasma spread on the arm that was still repairing, gradually condensing into the shape of a palm together with the healing bones, slowly stretched out, stuck on the old man's neck, and lifted him up from the ground.
The lame man, who was corroded by magic, leaned against the stone wall. Li Lin looked at the old man whose face gradually turned purple due to loss of breath, and suddenly smiled and loosened his hand. The old man fell to the ground with a plop as he fell freely, but he did not make any wailing sound. He just looked at the sickle in Li Lin's hand and the dark fire around him in fear, and then quickly chanted some prayers, praying that the gods would pay attention to this small and humble scene and save him from suffering.
However, the old gods certainly would not respond. If they did, he would not be so cowardly. Even if there were fluctuations within the kingdom of God, it would still attract the attention of the Holy Light. Therefore, the evil god that the old man trusted could not give him any response.
"Do you think your god is still alive? I wonder where your mysterious confidence and malice towards outsiders come from?"
Don't you know that malice is the culprit that destroys your pride?
Li Lin stretched out his hand, which had already thrown away the magic collection and was gradually taking shape of flesh. He covered the old man's mouth with his palm, which was not yet covered with skin but only had a layer of dark red muscle. He pressed it against the wall as the old man looked horrified. Then, he nailed his palm directly to the bookshelf on the other side with the sickle, leaving the old man screaming and crying without any sign of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
People's patience is limited, and so is . After finally solving the problem of being stuck, he had his own ideas. If this old man doesn't cooperate, Li Lin doesn't mind giving this old bastard a skinning ritual. It just so happens that he has a lot of cult rituals that he can't use, so it's not too much to use them all on this stubborn old man, right?
When this matter is investigated, even the Holy Light Cult will give him a thumbs up and say he did a good job. Because of a moment of mercy, a crucial clue was missed, which led to some big mistake. We have seen too many such scripts, so there is no need to repeat them.
"Now, I ask, you answer, if you can't answer, you die. You are old, but you haven't lived enough, right?"
It is because we get old that we understand the preciousness of life.
Slowly pulling the sickle out from the bookshelf, with a series of broken bones and flesh, Li Lin pressed the crescent-shaped blade against the old man's neck, releasing a chilling chill.
Seeing the old man nodding slowly with fear on his face, Li Lin realized that sometimes brains alone are not enough. You need not only a brain to decipher, but also a will of steel, the ruthlessness to deal with strangers, and the background or force to overturn the table. And now is the time to show your force.
