Chapter 235 Purification Mark

Standing on both sides of the entrance of the cult base were a few burly cultists with shirtless bodies and branded bodies. They held red-hot irons and sticks in their hands. The scars on the chest and back were very similar to those on Rhodes' body. , It is estimated that he has suffered a lot.

But they were not as lucky as Rhodes, and in the end they failed to withstand the torture, and finally fell into madness and became a member of this group of cultists...

Or, they are luckier than Rhodes?
In this crazy and desperate city, being in the company of madness is not such a bad choice.

In addition to those strong men who don't look easy to mess with, there is also a guy wearing a crimson turban and a dark gold mask on his face, who seems to be a cult propagandist. Abusive scenes.

Kress wasn't interested in listening to what he had to say, so he was about to walk into the building and go in to find out the difference between a cult base and a gang.

It's best to take precautions in advance and find a method that can be used to assassinate the cult leader Blaise... Of course, Zhou Ze doesn't mind using a chance to load files to try to see if he can communicate with Blaise.

He wasn't going to trust Smiley Face entirely.

In this crazy and fake city, he won't trust anyone, not even a temporary teammate.

This was a precious reminder given to him from the beginning of the game.

"and many more!"

The cultists wearing dark golden masks blocked the way of Kles and others.

Chris stopped in his tracks: "What's wrong?"

"The aura on your body is a little strange... have you really dedicated your blood and soul to the church?"

What the hell!What blood soul?Do cults still have this kind of detection method?
The masked cultist looked up and down the four of Kleis: "Let me see your purification mark."

[Option ①: Purify the imprint? 】

[Option ②: Uh, imprint?Of course!I must have put it somewhere...]

[Option ③: I want to report that there is a fugitive from the sect, his name is Luo...]

Needless to say, the second item is no different from not calling yourself, only a fool will choose this item.

The third one turned out to be the initiative to tell about the Demon Warlock Rhodes?Sell ​​this ally in exchange for the trust and favor of the cult?

But there is no doubt that this is a purely desperate option.

Don't forget that there is a forbidden spell on Kles' body. Once he tells about Rhode's whereabouts, he will die miserably. will do.

Although the first option is not very reliable, it will be obvious that he is not a member of a cult, but among the three options, he can only be short and tall, so he chooses it.

"Let me see the mark of purification on your chest."

There was suspicion in the voice of the cultist, and he stared straight into Cress' eyes: "Brother, what did you abandon in the past?"

"When I come back, you will be able to see my mark, goodbye, brother."

Kress looked thoughtfully at the few cultists next to him who were bare-chested. They all had irregular brand marks on their chests, and seemed to understand something.

The purification marks he mentioned should refer to these marks.

The eyes of the masked cultists gradually turned cold, and they waved their hands to drive them away: "Let's go, fledgling bird, don't come back until you give up everything in your hypocritical life!"

Manipulate Krys to leave the Pilgrim Quarter.

It seems that without the mark of purification, there is no way to mix into the building where the cult sacrifice is located from the front.

"This place is really uncomfortable."

Er Gouzi looked around tremblingly: "It's like the scene of hell, look over there, what the hell is that guy eating? A corpse on the ground?"

Everyone except him was used to it, and they were not attracted by Er Gouzi's fuss.

Walk around the building a few times, looking for secret passages that can be sneaked into, or other ways to enter the building quietly.

After a bit of searching... almost nothing.

Secret way, no.

Trying to sneak in through the back window or other unconventional paths, only to find that every corner of the building is surrounded by cultists worshiping, and they even work shifts!One batch left and one batch came again, and there were guards 24 hours a day!

Is it only possible to enter through the main entrance?
"It seems that it is necessary to ask Rhodes to see how to get a purification mark to sneak into the building."

Zhou Ze intuited that purifying the imprint was not a good thing, but in order to enter the cult base to get more information and trigger more branches to unfold, he still had to let the protagonist try.

Go back to the south of Azka City and find Rhodes.

"Look who's come to see us, Bazar."

It can be seen that Rhodes is eager for drugs to relieve his aching body: "Is there anything for me in your bag? Maybe a shot of morphine or something?"

Kress asked: "Do you know about the purification mark?"

"Do I understand? I have hundreds of these things on me!"

Rhodes had pain on his face, looking at the weird marks all over his body, as if he had been touched by a pain he didn't want to mention.

He spoke to his invisible ally: "Bazar Shaq, sometimes I can't help but suspect that you're trying to convince me not to kill him as some kind of cruel joke."

Rhodes explained dissatisfiedly: "For cultists, this imprint represents a complete break with your past and everything you once cherished... Protestants usually brand one or two of these imprints."

"In some rare cases, priests may imprint more if they believe Protestants reject their teachings."

He bowed his head in frustration: "But I'm sure no one can break my record."

Kress asked: "Can you help me disguise a purification mark?"

"There is no way to disguise the mark of purification, and cultists can see through the authenticity at a glance."

Rhodes continued in a mocking tone: "This matter is not easy, Protestant, if you intend to obtain the mark, you must endure the pain I had to endure at that time."

Kress took a deep breath: "Okay, I hope you can help me get a purification mark."

"No problem, I've been purified so many times that I can perform the ritual without difficulty."

Rhodes paused: "But in the name of Almighty, you have to tell me first, why do you want to get the mark of purification? If you join the camp of those lunatics, you won't want to ask me to help you with this favor ,what's your plan?"

"I have to enter the building where the priest of the cult lives, look for information inside, and kill him if I have the chance."

Kles truthfully recounted what Zhou Ze whispered.

"Kill the cult priest?"

Rhodes was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud, as if he had heard some particularly funny joke, and he didn't stop laughing until he had a headache.

"You? Going to kill the cult priest? Hehe, I advise you to give up this idea. That guy is not a human being at all. No one can kill him in this lost city." Rhode's eyes showed a trace of fear.

"Have you ever fought him?"

Seeing Rhode's big reaction, Cress knew that Rhode might know more about cult priests than Smiley Face.

"Fight? No, I was just hunted down."

There was still a trace of fear on Rhodes' face: "Even Bazar dare not face that guy alone, as long as he catches up with him, he will surely die. I don't even have the courage to face him directly."

If you are caught up, you will definitely die?That's right, the spiritual power of the cult priest is second only to Amishus, and he can make Rhodes lose his resistance with a single thought.

So to deal with him, you have to kill him before he reacts.

Otherwise, with the strong spiritual strength of the cult priests, there is no other possibility of winning unless you use the "Shengui Biyi" experience card in a frontal battle.

"Before the ceremony begins, you have to be ready, both physically and mentally."

For a moment, a hint of excitement seemed to flash across Rhodes' face: "Of course, it will definitely affect you."

"Okay." Chris nodded in agreement.

"Are you really not afraid? I don't think anyone is fully prepared for this torture, but just assume you are."

Rhodes took out an iron rod from a corner and put it on the ritual candle, burning it red.

The normal candle temperature certainly cannot burn the iron rod to such a high temperature quickly, but the ritual candle is obviously not in line with common sense.

"Okay, if you really want this imprint to take effect, from now on, you have to listen carefully and understand every word I say."

"Before the cleansing ritual begins, you have to choose something that you have been deeply attached to in your old life. Something that becomes a weakness, a burden at such times, and choose which will hold you back the most. Feelings."

"Imagine, suppose you met your deceased mother. According to the teachings of the order, if you can't kill this feeling, you can't be free from the bondage of the past."

"If you still have that feeling, you're still your own effort."

"Take a close look at your personality and find that feeling. Find that fragile glass room, find that thing that crumbles to dust if you touch it lightly."

"The appearance of the imprint will change according to what is in the glass room."

Rhode's whisper gradually turned into a ritual prayer: "Tell me, what's in that room, child?"

[Option ①: Friendship.I value my friends too much and it's a drag. 】

[Option ②: Compassion.This is my weakness. 】

[Option ③: Love.I am still trying to fill the void in my heart, longing to love and be loved. 】

[Option ④: Remembrance.I miss the old days so much. 】

[Option ⑤: Self-esteem.If you insist on self-worth blindly, it will be difficult to survive. 】

[Option ⑥: Curiosity.The unknown is the root of fear, why go after fear itself? 】

The thing to let go turned out to be a certain aspect of emotion?
Zhou Ze frowned in front of the screen. No matter what kind of these six emotions are, they are all very important, and they are all the more beautiful shining points in human nature. No matter if one of them is cut off, the soul will be incomplete.

Fortunately, he saved a file once in the pilgrim area, at worst, it will be treated as a waste file this time.

Just love.

Among the six options, love seems so pale.

That's right!Women will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword, so the men who are single should be honestly single.
