My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 58 The alarm bell rings
Where did the wind chimes come from?

Crown's eyes looked in the direction of the sound, which came from the front yard.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Nick running out of the rest area wearing full body armor and carrying a shield and a flail: "Let's go to the gate."

Regardless of speculation, he followed the priest and ran towards the church door.

Under the eaves of the night watchman's hut at the gate, a simple copper bell engraved with flame cloud patterns automatically made a crisp sound without wind.

Croun suddenly remembered what the priest once said.

'This is the alarm bell, which will sound when evil spirits or monsters appear nearby. '

He followed Nick's footsteps and stepped out of the church door, and a deep sense of darkness immediately overwhelmed his soul.

Crown found himself as if he had entered another world. There was silence all around, not even a sound could be heard, and the golden light from the holy fire on the bell tower seemed to dim.

His body seemed to be stared at with malicious intent by thousands of pairs of eyes. A slight chill rose from his tailbone, went up his spine, and broke through the Tianling Cap. It was as if there was a piece of ice stuck in his throat.

Scanning the square, he found many people lying on the ground, probably those responsible for cleaning.

Some people's bodies seemed to be dehydrated, with dry and pale flesh exposed.

He looked up and saw flame-like patterns on Nick's armor, and his heart sank.

The priest clearly activated some hidden ability of his armor, and he did not do this when facing the terrifying monster with the head of a boar.

He turned around and saw that the door nearby had become hazy.

Nick turned around, looked at the people following him, and said with a half-smile, "I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, but a collection of evil thoughts was born."

Knowing that the extraordinary knowledge of the warriors in his church was still very shallow, he immediately explained: "Animals all have emotions, especially people. Unexpected death will produce resentment. In an era when spirituality is not obvious, such emotions cannot be expressed in the world. The physical world resides and quickly dissipates when the animal dies.”

"As the spiritual tide rises, some extreme emotions, such as fear, resentment, etc., will stay for a short time with the blessing of spirituality, but they will not last long."

"After the battle, I observed the scene. Although the emotions of the animals that died today were strong, they were not to the point where the evil thoughts would linger for a long time."

Clenching his fists tightly, the priest's voice was full of annoyance: "It should be the monster's last act of devouring the resentful spirit that caused the mutation. My ability focuses on providing various boosts to my teammates, and I am not good at dealing with this kind of thing. The spirit body, I thought it wouldn't be a big problem, but unexpectedly it gave birth to a collection of evil thoughts, and now I'm in trouble."

The newcomer in the extraordinary world didn't understand and asked: "After the monster made a move before entering the gray fog, I felt a gust of wind blowing. Was it swallowing the resentful spirits? Didn't it swallow up most of the resentful spirits? ?”

As he spoke, he felt that the air around him was heavier and colder.

"Haha, how is that possible?" Nick looked around and raised the shield in his hand.

A blazing flame ignited on the tower shield. This time, the distance was close enough. Crown discovered that the fire was not a flame in the physical sense. When he touched it with his spiritual sense, he felt a faint burning sensation as if his fingers were being burned by the fire.

As the priest's shield was raised high, a translucent gray thing appeared four or five meters away from their side, and then floated into the distance.

This object is covered with tentacles, and is as big as a fat sumo wrestler. Its body flashes with many faint lights, red, green, and blue, giving people a strange feeling of being covered with small eyes.

As the monster moves away,
"Did you see that spherical thing covered with slender tentacles just now? That is a collection of evil thoughts."

Hearing Nick's words, Crown responded: "Father, why don't we retreat. You are not good at dealing with spirits, and I don't have the means to deal with spirits. It's better to ask the demon hunter to come out, that way you will be more confident." The priest frowned. : "You have understood the true meaning of the law of warmth. Although it is not an offensive power, it is still relatively easy to use to restrain the collection of evil thoughts, right?"

"Well, just being restrained is not safe enough. Let's shake people off, shall we?"

A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. This world also has a similar principle. Crown couldn't understand why the priest was unwilling to call in the demon hunters to fight the enemy together.

Afraid of paying people too much gold shield?That's not right. From what I know about the priest, he has a very cautious character. Although he is a bit stubborn, he is never stingy when it comes to spending money.

Otherwise, the holy water to treat the wounded can still be expected to return to the villagers who rely on their strength to make a living.

"Shake people, what do you mean?" This new vocabulary confused the priest.

"Call helpers. There is strength in numbers, which will naturally make our battle less difficult."

"Do you know how spirit coins are made?" Nick Youyou said, "As the gray fog descends, ordinary currencies will depreciate, and the value of spirit coins will further increase."

"Spirit coins are the condensate obtained by extracting the spirituality of living things through the method of soul condensation, purifying impurities and extracting the essence. The collection of evil thoughts is a pile of spiritual coins that have been initially extracted. If we spend more time to get it, we will make money. Big hair."

"If the risk coefficient is divided into ten levels, with level one being the smallest and level ten being the highest, what is the coefficient?"

"Although the spiritual coins are good, how can I risk my life? The risk factor is at most three or four. Our attacks are not high enough to damage the collective evil thoughts, and their attacks are not high compared to our spiritual strength. I'm worried that it will find it is no match for the two of us and run away. Although this evil creature is chaotic, it is not bad at escaping."

The risk is not high, the benefits are not small, let’s do it!

Once a decision is made, Crown is all-in: “What do we do?”

Nick chuckled and lowered his voice: "It's very simple. I rush up to fight it and consume part of its energy. Then I lure the collection of evil thoughts to you, and you release your own light of faith that contains the true meaning of the law. Come out, I will cooperate with you to launch the strongest attack. It is best if you can annihilate it. If you cannot annihilate it, you can knock down enough spiritual fragments."

"At that time, even if the target escapes, there will be a lot of gains. Calling the demon hunter over and giving away a benefit will not be worth mentioning. If it wants to escape, it will still be unable to stop it. It is not cost-effective."

Crown understood that he only needed to meditate on the golden light spell: "Understood, let's get started."

The priest nodded at him, walked quickly to the center of the square, and even began to recite the prayer during the service: "We are bathed in the light of God, and the holy light gives us the courage and strength to face evil. May the God of Fire shine upon us. Light our way forward.”

In his spiritual sense, a spiritual flame evaporated from the priest's body and radiated light around him.

Can evil things still listen to your chanting?

This behavior made Monk Claudius Zhang Er confused and didn't understand what the other party was doing.

His confusion did not last long, as a collection of evil thoughts took shape at the edge of the square.

"Fizz."

It waved its tentacles wildly, and there was a sense of mania in the air.

Crown understood the effect of the priest's actions just now, just like the MT had activated the taunting skill.

I saw the evil thing's 'little eyes' flashing suddenly, and it rushed towards the priest who was chanting.
