War Paradise

——The next day, the enemy commander was killed, and the imperial army recovered his body.

Reading the first sentence on the next page, Lin Chi couldn't help but said, "Is it so casual?"

Judging from the records in the log, the empire camp where the corpse collectors are located seems to have a crushing advantage over the "dynasty" as the enemy force, otherwise the war would not have been won so easily.

The war recorded by the corpse collectors was simply an unequal duel. The "dynasty" that was siege of the city was on the weaker side.

However, it doesn’t seem to make much sense to care about this irrelevant background setting in a suspense game...

Realizing this, Lin Chi also temporarily ignored the war records in the log and began to read the following content.

But when he turned to the next page, he found that the description in the log suddenly changed to a different style:

"Meet the dead lady, she will turn the dead into a loyal puppet."

"Take out the heart of the corpse, soak it in holy water, and pour your blood into the chest cavity of the deceased."

"Before the conversion is complete, you must grant darkness to the dead, otherwise they will wake up early."

"Don't let the dead die a second time, otherwise it will turn into an evil spirit."

...

After reading this, Lin Chi's heart slowly rose with a strong ominous premonition:

These texts not only changed the narrative style, but also the fonts. The graceful fonts of the corpse collector disappeared, replaced by rough texts, like the handwriting of a "macho".

It seems that this should be the method of resurrecting the dead that the imperial warriors taught to the corpse collectors, and the content is also related to the resurrection of the dead.

The so-called "darkness must be given to the dead" should mean putting a black cloth bag on the head of the corpse. Most of the corpses here are covered with a bag, which should be to prevent early awakening.

However, this record of "Never cause the dead to die a second time" is what worries Lin Chi the most.

"Could it be that……"

Click!

Hearing the crisp sound from the door, Lin Chi suddenly turned his eyes to the wooden door of the restaurant, only to see a scorched and skinny human hand, suddenly grabbing the wooden wall by the door, and then the sound from the study just now, It's a female voice with a deep bitterness and hatred:

"You killed me?"

"I'm sorry it wasn't on purpose." Lin Chi replied casually.

——Margaret, who had just been killed for the second time by herself, turned into an evil spirit and came to take revenge!

The burning scorched black figure walked out from behind the door. Even though her body was turned into bones in the flame, Marguerite's revenge continued.

She was given a second death, and she was completely unstoppable. But Lin Chi knew very well that this was the need for the plot in the game, because if she hadn't killed her just now, he wouldn't be able to leave the bedroom.

In other words, what I have to do next is to escape from Margaret's claws...

Mindful of this, Lin Chi grabbed the notes of the corpse collector and half of the diary that he saw. He didn't even have the time to take the candlestick. He turned and ran away decisively, rushed to the iron door on the other side of the canteen, kicked it away Tao does not have a locked door.

clang!

Along with the loud noise of the restaurant's front door being kicked open, he stumbled into a dark passage, and a gust of wind blowing in front of him, Lin Chi had no time to turn around and close the door, rushing to the front of the corridor at the fastest speed. The walls next to him are covered with gloomy landscape paintings, which look strange under the moonlight.

"You...can't escape."

Margaret's hoarse voice came from behind Lin Chi along with the heat, and the burning corpse continued to pursue and kill Lin Chi. With the running speed of Lin Chi's character, naturally, he can't compete with the opponent...

"It looks like it's going to reopen again."

Realizing that he was about to be captured by Margaret, Lin Chi also decisively gave up the struggle. After all, this game is different from "Paradise of War". Even if it hangs, it will only start from the beginning, and there is no need to worry about other things.

"..."

The "girl" in the white dress turned around and stared at the blazing female corpse. While Lin Chi was waiting for death, the scene in front of her suddenly went dark.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the corridor was filled with smoke, and the sudden white smoke choked Lin Chi's cough. Before he knew what had happened, a dark and tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Come with me!"

A calm male voice rang from his ears, Lin Chi's wrist was grabbed by the opponent, and the guy dragged him and ran back. Strangely, Margaret, who was still aggressive just now, did not continue to chase her.

--What exactly is going on?

Lin Chi, who was running wild in the dimly lit passage, turned his gaze to the man who was dragging him. With the help of the dim moonlight falling into the aisle from the window, he saw the long brown windbreaker on his body and the pointed top hat on his head.

The attire of the other party looks like guests attending the banquet, not like combatants at all, but in the world view of the game "Devil's Chamber", perhaps this attire can indeed be used for combat?

Lin Chi was thinking secretly when he heard the other party's voice coming again:

"Are you OK?"

Without looking back, the man pulled Lin Chi and continued to rush forward. He directly smashed open a wooden door in front of him and entered a small storage room. After turning around and closing the door, he sprinkled some white powder on the door. , And then finally let out a breath:

"All right."

The oil lamp above his head cast a soft light, and Lin Chi looked at the man who had just turned around, and saw that the other party was also covered with a black mask, only a pair of dark green eyes were exposed.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

"This is exorcism powder." The man raised the cloth bag in his hand, shook it in front of Lin Chi, and patiently explained: "With this thing, the monster can no longer pursue us."

Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Lin Chi looked at the inconspicuous bag in the other's hand, then looked down at the thin line drawn with white powder in front of the door.

Obviously, the "exorcism powder" referred to in this population should be similar to the salt that can be used to exorcise evil spirits in European legends, and is used to block the attack of evil spirits. The reason why Marguerite was repelled just now was probably due to the exorcism powder.

"Thank you." Lin Chi thanked him in a female voice, and then asked curiously: "Who are you?"

This tall man in a trench coat wears an old-fashioned-looking long-barreled pistol around his waist and a short machete. Although the clothes were a bit unsuitable, it seemed that this posture did come to fight.

The other party did not answer this question, but stretched out his thick hands and suddenly grabbed Lin Chi's shoulders:

"I should ask you this question, right? What does a girl do in a place like this? Are you really afraid of death?"

"I don't know what's going on. I was here when I woke up." Lin Chi told the truth, staring at the man without blinking, showing a "pure" appearance.

"wake up……"

The man in the windbreaker pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out a silver cross from his chest pocket and shook it in front of Lin Chi's eyes. The light reflected by the cross dazzled Lin Chi's eyes.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chi asked angrily.

"It's not a vampire, it's okay..." The man seemed to be relieved, put the cross away and smiled, and said, "I'm the hunter Van Lawrence. Just call me Lawrence."

"What hunter?" Lin Chi squinted his eyes: "It shouldn't be here to hunt, right?"

"It's a vampire hunter to be exact, hunting other things part-time." Lawrence nodded and blinked his green eyes: "I received a request from the sheriff, saying that strange things often happen near this large morgue. It was suspected that the monster was at work, so I came to investigate."

——In other words, this place is really "haunted" right?

While Lin Chi was thinking secretly in his heart, he didn't feel idle, and continued to try to extract the information he needed from the vampire hunter:

"That means I am not a vampire, nor a monster, am I?"

"Yes, if you are a high-level blood race, you may have resistance to exorcism powder, but in the face of the blessed cross, you will still show the original shape." Lawrence laughed: "Don't worry, girl, you are indeed a A living person, not something else."

"So..."

Lin Chi pretended to be pleased when he heard what the other party said.

If Lawrence is right, in this way, the possibility that "the protagonist is a resurrected corpse" he thought at the beginning can also be completely ruled out.

It's true that her role is a living person, so... why would she wake up in such a place?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi suddenly asked: "What is the corpse collector in this morgue? Do you have any information?"

"I arrived in a hurry, and I didn't get any information about the corpse collector." Lawrence shook his head: "The corpse collector here seems to have not left the morgue for a long time, and even the sheriff does not have a portrait."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Chi also gave birth to a new guess:

——Could it be that your role is the corpse collector of this morgue?

According to the setting of this game, the possibility of the protagonist being the corpse collector is indeed not low. If this is the case, the next plot may develop in another direction, for example...

"I will definitely kill the corpse collector." Lawrence said, clenching his fist.

"Why?" Lin Chi asked.

"Look at the situation here, don't you understand?" Lawrence sighed long, deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes: "A forbidden ceremony was held in this morgue. These corpses should have been resurrected. , The only person who can do this is the corpse collector who takes care of the morgue all the year round!"

Hearing the angry remarks made by the other party, Lin Chi thought for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Then... don't you worry that I am the corpse collector?"

"you?"

Lawrence cast his questioning gaze on Lin Chi's face, and then couldn't help laughing: "Don't be kidding...I didn't get the specific information of the corpse collector, but according to the sheriff, that guy should be a strong man. , Won't be like you."

Although Lawrence seemed to be completely indifferent, Lin Chi still had a trace of suspicion in his mind-when he entered the game, he did choose a "female character", but because he couldn't confirm his gender in the game, whether this character was a male. It is a female, and there are still doubts.

Although the possibility is very low, the possibility that the corpse collector has evolved from a muscular macho to a female gangster after years of "depending on each other for life" with the corpse, in fact, it also exists...

Boom! Boom!

Heavy knocks reverberated in the storage room, and the heat of the flame on Margaret passed into the room through the thin door panel, and a ghostly red light was also lit up under the door crack.

The evil spirit whose body was scorched was trying to break into the door, but the white "exorcism powder" sprinkled in front of the door successfully blocked her footsteps. Marguerite couldn't get in at all, so she could only make a hoarse howl outside the door.

"Is that okay?" Lin Chi looked at the white line drawn in front of the door: "Should I sprinkle more?"

"No need, this kind of evil spirit can't break through the exorcism powder. She should leave by herself in a while. It really doesn't work. I still have silver bullets here." Lawrence said, patted the one hanging on his waist. The pistol, the carved lion pattern on the wooden handle is clearly visible.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Margaret kept howling and slammed the door of the storage room. Lawrence stood in front of the door, aimed the muzzle of his pistol at the door, and was ready to fire at any time.

"Evil spirit, don't waste any more time!" shouted the vampire hunter.

"Shut up, idiot... I'm not looking for you!" Marguerite yelled.

As soon as these words came out, Lawrence was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "May I go to you!"

...

Under the silent Lin Chi's gaze, the evil spirit in front of the door and the hunter standing behind the door began to curse...

In this large morgue, scolding was everywhere, and the original strange atmosphere was also suppressed by the abnormally painful atmosphere. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Lawrence had just finished scolding a lot of swear words and was gasping for breath, Lin Chi asked, "Will this irritate the other party?"

"What if it's irritated? She can't come in anyway." Lawrence kept panting, the previous reliable and powerful "vampire hunter" image completely collapsed in Lin Chi's heart.

"This kind of **** reminds me of my wife, she is also like this at home..." Lawrence shouted loudly, "You have the ability to come in! You trash thing!"

——Why is this kind of plot always? Are all the production staff of this game strict with their wives...

Lin Chi secretly complained in his heart, put the two books in his hand on the floor next to him, and sat on the cold floor of the storage room, waiting for the next plot turn.

It stands to reason that what happened here should also be the fixed plot of "Devil's Secret Chamber", as long as you wait a while, a new plot should happen.

Unsurprisingly, not long after Lin Chi just sat down, Lawrence cast his gaze on the two books beside her and asked breathlessly:

"I just wanted to ask, what are you holding in your hand?"
