Soul echo

Chapter 199 Triggering Missions
[Jed's Apprentice Trial: The abyss pollution caused by "Phantom in the Painting" created by Nemo Bellucci Bailey distorted the spirit and soul of six people including Mark Crewe. When I took my apprentices to trace the whereabouts of the cultists, I accidentally discovered this thing, and I regarded them as Jade's trial targets]

[Jed got in touch with them through black market channels, and the six people who still didn't notice the changes in themselves were troubled by what happened to them. After the rescue, Jed killed them all, and recovered "Phantom in the Painting", completing his apprenticeship trial]

At the end of the dungeon, Lilian's and the others' costumes changed back to the original set, and the magnificence around them gradually faded away, followed by a dilapidated and stale atmosphere.

The carpet under their feet disappeared and turned into a few rotten wooden boards. The original tables and chairs were also vacant. The ground was full of accumulated dust. The skylight poured into the house through the cracks in the walls and windows, allowing them to see Lots of dust floating around.

Seeing this, Lilian subconsciously held her breath, turned and opened the door to leave.

The young man also woke up from the aftertaste and hurriedly followed Lilian's footsteps.

When he walked outside the house, the young man didn't close the door, and the dilapidated door of the house closed by itself, scaring him into hairs.

Lilian stood not far from the house, and she found that pedestrians still couldn't see them in this position.

She opened the game forum and searched for the keywords 'Nemo' and 'Belucci Bailey', and sure enough, she found more than a dozen posts.

Most of these posts were posted by Bulger players, who wanted to find clues from them in order to pass the level of "Phantom in the Painting".

Only two came from other regions, one of which was lamenting that a painting by Nemo Bellucci Belli was worth [-] gold coins at an underground auction.

The poster of the other post seems to be an artist. He is very impressed by the art design of "Echo of Souls", and has produced so many amazing works of art. In this post, it is mentioned that 'Nemo Bellucci Bailey' this man.

Nemo Bellucci Belli, he should be 50 or 40 years old now, and his earliest works were published [-] years ago. His early works were immature, but with a unique absurdity. Later, he changed his style of painting and no longer It has the absurdity of the early paintings, but the painting skills have been improved, and even the simplest exercises are quite perfect, so it has become famous.

The person who posted this post also replied in the help post of Bulger players, perhaps because Nemo's settings are too perfect, the artist regarded him as a real person, and when evaluating the painting "Phantom in the Painting" When I draw, I use 'it looks like a work from my youth'.

She had indeed seen the post lamenting the value of Nemo's paintings before, but before the update of 'Chapter 2', this post hardly had many views, even now it is only a few thousand.

How did I see this post...

There is an idea that lingers in my mind all the time, but it has not fallen for a long time.

She remembered that someone should have mentioned the name 'Nemo' in front of her, but she couldn't remember it.

Lilian was thinking hard, and the young man stood aside and looked at it quietly. After a long silence, he finally couldn't hold back, and asked aloud: "Lilian, the dungeon has been cleared, then... I have a task to track down the thieves here. Come with me?"

Lilian looked up in confusion, then a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she exclaimed: "...That's right! Amos!"

What?Amos?Who is Amos?
The young man was a little confused, and then he saw Lilian waving at him, then turned and ran away impatiently.

"I still have something to do! You can do the task yourself, come on!"

Shouting, Lilian spread her legs and ran towards the Adventurer's House.

The young man stretched out his hand, wanting to persuade him to stay, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth, so he could only retract his arms and sighed helplessly.

--【Great!Lilian finally left that annoying guy behind! 】

——【Speaking of which, isn't Lilian a little too strong now?Are level [-] players so good? 】

——[Isn't it normal that Lilian is amazing?Her teacher is Zhong Ye! 】

——[When Lilian was thinking and fighting just now, I thought the live broadcaster was Zhong Ye! (laugh)】

The bullet screen was like flowing water, but Lilian turned a blind eye to the content, and all she could think about was 'Nemo Bellucci Belli'.

She finally remembered where she had heard the name—from Amos!
Amos talked to her about how he and Zhong Ye met. Apart from the time in the occupied area, what really made them establish a solid friendship was the battle with Nemo.

At that time, Zhong Ye wasn't even an extraordinary person. He and Zhong Ye defeated Nemo through a complete trick, and Nemo at that time was a 'legend'!
If she remembers correctly, Amos said that when they fought Nemo, Nemo had drawn them into his memory.

Perhaps this is a clue!
…………

Zhong Ye closed the forum. In the forum, he saw that Lilian had cleared a dungeon. The only pity was that all he could see was the text description.

Until now, the gods still haven't planned to add a live broadcast function to the forum. Other players have nothing to do with it. They can open other web pages even in the game, but it is more troublesome.

At present, all the information that can be collected has been collected. At present, the players in the Kingdom of Gaul have not targeted hallucinogen dealers on a large scale. A city, while collecting information, while waiting for news from the players.

After he ran through two or three cities, even if he didn't collect enough information himself, he could deduce the approximate location of hallucinogen production or transit through the information given by the players in the forum.

Sitting in the lobby of the Adventurer's House, Zhong Ye was thinking silently.

Nemo Bellucci Belle, this is the second enemy he encountered after coming to this world, which almost killed him.

Originally, he was about to forget about this enemy, but he didn't expect to encounter things related to Nemo after coming here.

Amos had already returned to the Demon Hunter headquarters before, which meant that it had been a while since Nemo's painting recovery work had begun.

What he didn't expect was that Nemo's painting had triggered an abyss erosion event many years ago, and it also attracted the attention of the demon hunters.

But until Nemo was killed by them, Amos didn't know that Nemo was a cultist...

In other words, Nemo had escaped the scrutiny of the witcher or the church?

"……teacher!"

Lilian ran to Zhong Ye's side panting - in fact, Zhong Ye had already noticed her when she just opened the door.

The girl's eyes sparkled, "I heard that Amos mentioned, mentioned that you have defeated a cultist named 'Nemo' before, right?"

Zhong Ye nodded, "Yes, why did you mention him?"

"I, I got some news!" Lilian swallowed, took a deep breath, and said, "It seems that there was a strange incident in Bulger more than ten or a few decades ago. At the meeting, the six people who bid for the same painting all had some... changes, and then all died, and the painting they bid for was painted by 'Nemo Belluccibelli'. "

"So, do you think Nemo's other paintings have the same effect?" Zhong Ye asked back.

"Yes!" Lilian nodded vigorously.

Zhong Ye rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, "Although the demon hunters are already collecting these paintings, they are short-staffed and may miss some... How about this, let's track down the hallucinogens while looking for the paintings that Nemo spread around. A painting of the world."

Lilian froze for a moment, and then beamed with joy.

——This is the first time she offered a suggestion on her own initiative, and it was accepted by Zhong Ye!

Then, a screen popped up in front of her eyes——

[Trigger mission: "Eradicating Influence"!Whether to accept? 】
