Chapter 275 Exploring the North District
"Two of the Old Ones are about to fully awaken, Mordiggian, the Lord of Ghouls, and Naka, the Lord of Spiders." Randolph paused and continued, "We have been keeping an eye on the Lord of Spiders. He is in the central area, and the key to the charnel house where the Lord of Ghouls lives has fallen into the hands of the Umbrella Corporation."
"They are now looking for places where a large number of dead people gather, and want to use their resentment to open the door of the charnel house. If you find such a place, please purify it as soon as possible to help them get rid of their resentment."
"Understood, Mr. Randolph, we will do our best to stop them." Wen Qi understood what he should do now through a short conversation.
[Ding, new task received. ]
[Faction task: Purify the negative emotions in Jingling City so that the Old Ones cannot absorb enough nutrients. It is completed by all investigator faction players. The current progress is 0%. 】
[Faction Mission: Stop the revival of Mordiggian, the King of Ghouls. There are still seven days before the revival. The more creatures in pain are saved during the revival process, the less negative energy He can absorb, and the more vulnerable He will be after waking up. 】
[Faction Mission: Stop the revival of Naka, the God of Spiders. There are still seven days before the revival...]
"You can see if there is anything you need to exchange here. They can be of great help in the blood moon world." Randolph said and opened the exchange interface of the store. There were a lot of things in it, but most of them were old seals and spells with various effects.
[Old Seal of Glaaki]: "Holding it will make the undead and friendly Old Ones regard you as the same kind and will not attack, but it will cause disgust from neutral Old Ones and extreme disgust from hostile Old Ones. The effective time is 6 hours. It will take effect when you hold it in your hand, and the effective time will be frozen when you put it back in your backpack."
"Exchange conditions: Level 3 investigator, 200 contribution points, 500 gold."
[Old Seal of Nyarlathotep]: "Holding it will make most of the Old Ones feel fear and disgust. At this time, as long as you don't take the initiative to slap the Old Ones in the face, you can generally leave safely. The effective time is 6 hours..."
"Exchange conditions: Level 1 investigator, 1000 contribution points, 5000 gold."
......
[True Vision Talisman]: "After using it, you can see through the disguise and illusion of evil spirits."
"Exchange conditions: Level 3 investigator, 300 gold."
[Blood Rice]: "Rice soaked in fresh blood can be used at crossroads to summon evil spirits, but the number and intensity of summons cannot be controlled, so use it with caution."
......
[Ancient God Energy Body]: "It contains endless abilities and has infinite uses, but if you hold it, be careful that the old days will come to you."
"Exchange conditions: Legendary investigator, 10,000 contribution points."
[System prompt]: "You are currently a Level 2 investigator Member, with 1000 contribution points, not enough to exchange for the ancient god energy body. "
Gu Qi
Wen Qi hesitated for a moment and decided not to exchange the old seal first, because this thing is a double-edged sword. If you encounter a hostile old day, it will bring unnecessary danger to yourself. He simply exchanged for some talismans, "Exchange for three true vision talismans, one amulet, and one golden light talisman, and keep some money and contribution points for emergencies."
After he exchanged, the others also completed the steps to join the investigation bureau and began to exchange things, but Qin Ge and Fei Niao, two newcomers who could not join the investigation bureau, naturally did not have this right, and could only watch.
After the seven people were busy, they began to officially enter the northern district of Jingling City. The tall and crowded buildings were like cells imprisoning the things living inside. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been in the blood moon without sunlight, or if this place is like this, the walls are covered with unknown black mold.
The wet ground was very uncomfortable to step on, and it always splashed dirty mud and was filled with the unpleasant smell of garbage dumps after rainy days. Fist-sized rats could often be seen running past the street in groups.
The thick fog that permeated the streets and alleys reflected the red and green lights on the signs, and accompanied by the yellow and white paper money that was soaked and stuck to the ground and the incense that had not yet burned out on the streets, there was a creepy and gloomy feeling everywhere.
Moreover, most of the buildings were not locked. It seemed that someone was waving and inviting players to enter in the dark corridor. From time to time, players' screams could be heard from the tube building, and occasionally unrecognizable corpses were thrown down from the upper floors and fell to the ground, causing a second injury, and then turned into white light and dissipated, leaving only a bloodstain.
It seemed that many players were already exploring the front part of the North District, and there was no point in a large group of people crowded together, so the seven decided to continue walking inside. I don’t know how long I walked, and I heard a sad howl.
Looking around, I saw about a dozen men, women, young and old in black clothes gathered in front of the funeral home across the street, burning ingot candles and crying. Several staff members in the funeral home were busy with a corpse. In the middle, a black-and-white photo of a young girl was placed. She looked like she was in her prime.
"The remains have been prepared. Please let the family see them for the last time, and then put them in the coffin for cremation." The staff in suits and leather shoes stood in front of the microphone to preside over the funeral process.
Hearing this, the crowd cried even louder. A middle-aged woman seemed to have no strength to cry. She stood up tremblingly and took out a jade bracelet and walked towards the corpse. "This is Shi Jing's favorite bracelet when she was alive. Let her take it with her."
"It's really strange that we can see normal living people in Qin Laozhe's dream. It seems like there is a mission. Should we go and take a look?" Zhang Dong said, touching his chin.
"Let's go..." Wen Qi was hit by a man who suddenly jumped out of the corner before he finished speaking, and a thick notebook fell from the man. He instinctively waved to call the man: "Hey!"
The man seemed very anxious. He just looked back at him and left in a hurry.
"What's this?" Wen Qi frowned and picked up the notebook. Others also came over. There was no information written on it. It was no different from the notebooks sold on the street for two or three yuan.
[System prompt]: "You have received the opening item of the single-player copy "Diary". Do you choose to enter the copy?"
"Diary" Introduction: Although the two did not know each other, the diary was full of each other's bits and pieces, as well as the beautiful yearning for the future, until that day came...
