Chapter 196 Thresh
chain;

lantern;

If after having these two features, Nan Ke still can't guess the identity of the other party, then he has really let down the time he has invested in the game for the past ten years.

Originally, according to Nan Ke's guess, it should be the presence of centaurs who lead the battle. After all, cavalry were generally used as vanguard troops in ancient times, and the abilities and characters of centaurs are more suitable for expanding the territory in this new universe.

But I never expected that Thresh would be the first to come over!
Why send an old bastard to come first?

Nan Ke fell into deep thought, and at the same time began to recall Thresh's background story in his mind.

Thresh was born far away from the era of Graves. He was originally a member of a religious order. The religious order he was in was aimed at collecting worldly knowledge, and at that time he was assigned the task of guarding the warehouse with a firm mind.

However, in the warehouse guarded by Thresh, there are a large number of dangerous dark magic items that will tempt people to fall. After a long time of companionship, the dark magic finally broke through Thresh's psychological defense.

They evoked the evil and cruelty in Thresh's heart, and the initial manifestation of this evil and cruelty was his revenge for dark magic items, and as time fermented, Thresh's mind also changed, and he began to become Get better at disguising yourself.

Finally, on a certain day, when members of the religious order sent a warlock into the warehouse, he finally began to implement his methods on humans. With the uniqueness of this warlock, he almost devoted all his time to the warlock torment on.

Until the outbreak of the Ruinous Curse, he was completely reduced to a wraith-like creature, but unlike other wraiths, he did not forget his past, and instead devoted himself even more willingly to his cruel hobbies.

From then on, he began to keep looking for special objects to satisfy his sadism.

Nan Ke's thoughts returned to the present. If the person who came was Thresh, then there could be a 'reasonable' explanation for the scene in the church.

After all, anything a sadist does seems to be 'reasonable'.

As for the other scenes described by the little boy
After Thresh kills a person, it should be his habit to put his soul into the lantern, but the darkness rising from the lantern will turn into a black cloud, which is not mentioned in the background story or the promotional video.

"Is it because the principle of darkness has changed a little after coming here, or is there such a setting in the original book but it hasn't been revealed yet?"

Nan Ke whispered in his heart, and at this moment, there was movement from the stairs.

Graves came down with his bag on his shoulders, no cigar in his mouth, but his fists still clenched.

"Inside the quilt was a narrow locker containing the body of a boy."

They did find the lucky one who 'escaped', but this lucky one encountered another kind of misfortune.

From Graves' point of view, a year ago, he might have been indifferent to this kind of thing, but after he has a 'daughter', he can feel this kind of pathetic emotion instantly.

Then, he suddenly noticed that the surrounding environment was a little unusually 'bright', and Nan Ke, who was sitting on the bench, seemed to have maintained a very dull posture and expression after he went downstairs.

"Hey."

Graves took a step forward, raised his hand and waved it in front of Nan Ke, and then he noticed the blue children's bench under Nan Ke's feet.

Instinctively, he felt that Nan Ke should have discovered something, but he was a little uncertain about Nan Ke's current state.

Fortunately, at the next moment, he vaguely noticed something passing by in front of him, and Nan Ke, who was sitting in front of him, finally showed an expression.

"It seems that you have been immersed in it for a while." Nan Ke withdrew the soul mode, and the performance in the real world is that his body has been given a soul again.

From the little boy appearing in front of me, to the conversation I had with the little boy, to the meditation behind me;
During this entire time, Graves was upstairs, and it was conceivable that he should have made no other movements other than staring at the little boy's body in a daze.

"what have you found?"

"I found a little boy."

"...he's upstairs."

"No, he is right in front of you, and your feet stepped on his feet."

"." Graves.

Graves took a hasty step back, then glanced left and right, "Are you kidding me?"

"I can see souls, um, no, you can too."

As Nan Ke said, he began to manipulate his soul power left in the outside world.

And with the recovery of soul power, darkness has regained the high ground.

And on the blue cartoon bench in front of Graves, a little boy appeared out of nowhere, his appearance and appearance were exactly the same as the one he saw upstairs.

"Hello, uncle."

The little boy greeted Graves politely.

Although the red in his eyes makes his image look a bit weird, but in this environment, where is there anything that is not weird?

"Hello."

Graves felt that his head was a little messy, but fortunately, the chaotic life in Bilgewater made him used to throwing this chaos aside casually, so that he could focus on more critical issues.

"What did he tell you?" Graves asked immediately, obviously he knew that when he was immersed in that emotion, Nan Ke was doing something more meaningful.

"Tell me the identity of the dark manipulator." Nan Ke stood up from the bench. He could feel the flow of darkness is accelerating. The specific reason may be because he sensed a threat, or because he found a new target.

Even though he hasn't really started to fight against the darkness, Nan Ke can still see the "weakness" of the darkness from various signs, and this may be the reason why Thresh was sent to be the vanguard.

They need an old shadow to quietly expand the dark scale in the dark, and when the urgent need reaches a certain level, they need the existence of the centaur to appear and carry out a formal aggression.

"Have you heard of Soul Lock Warden?" Nan Ke asked.

Graves pondered for a while, "I seem to have heard of it, but this is an old rumor, it is said that it is a sadist floating in the dark."

"This is not a rumor. We will face him next."

As Nan Ke spoke, he started to walk out, and the little boy also floated up, following behind Nan Ke.

"Do you know what's in this direction?"

Nan Ke pointed to the south of the town, and he could sense that the darkness was now moving in this direction.

The little boy floated to a high place, but quickly landed behind Nan Ke, "This direction is the valley of refuge."

"Valley of Refuge?"

"Yes, when there is some extreme weather, my parents will lead me, and the neighbors around, to take refuge in the Valley of Refuge. It is a cave formed on a red rock wall that I don't know how to form."
