So, the "devil army" that Virgil mentioned refers to the players transforming into NPCs.

Beiheng paused, thinking of many things.

After the two ghosts in the air wrestled for several rounds, they finally realized that neither of them could do anything to the other, and began to look at Beiheng.

"I'll let you go first, humph, kill this man first, I feel that he is not right."

"Humph, who will let who go, but he should be dealt with first!"

The two ghosts disliked each other, but they still joined forces.

Virgil's mother on the bed suddenly started to move violently, her eyes widened, her face was hideous, the muscles of her hands and feet swelled, and her whole body exerted force, almost breaking free from the rope.

"Mom!" Virgil was scared and was about to run over.

But Bei Heng grabbed him with one hand and said calmly: "She can't break free yet."

"Damn it, he can't really be a ghost exorcist!"

"Ah? Then what should we do, can we deal with him directly?"

"[Break] should be able to attack him directly."

"Try it!"

The two ghosts immediately pounced on Bei Heng.

Bei Heng didn't even look at them, just patted his hands in the air left and right, as if he was just fanning the wind, but it caused great damage to the two ghosts.

The two ghosts flew backwards for several meters in the air, looking at each other with horror on their faces.

"Fuck! Why are you weak? Are you going to die?!"

"Ah? Why is your body going to explode?"

After they finished speaking, a trace of despair surged into their hearts. The next second, they really exploded. When they opened their eyes again, they saw that they had come to a white building, walked out of the balcony, and countless unfriendly eyes stared at them.

"I'm in heaven?"

"You're not only stupid, but also blind. The people on the opposite side look like angels?"

"Uh... Indeed, they look more like ghosts."

In the bedroom.

Bei Heng watched their souls dissipate. He also tried to practice soul manipulation, so their methods were not good enough for him.

However, after the souls of these two players dissipated, they left a little strange energy. The two black particles in their soul cores were emitting an ominous aura.

In order to test, Bei Heng collected some, and then he found the problem.

This level not only sets the player as a "devil", but also mixes the real devil factor into the player's soul, or pollutes the player's soul. If the player does not pay attention to this, they will be dominated by the devil factor and become a real devil. At that time, they will not only lose, but also their soul units will be eroded. After the level ends, they will disappear.

In other words, this level has been designed for players from the beginning, and all players are tied with □□. For players with weak minds and insufficient means, entering this copy may mean death.

Bei Heng didn't care much about the life and death of the infinite world players, because in fact they just changed their way of existence. The more serious one was that their will was erased, but in the final analysis, their soul units still existed.

But the meaning of the elimination of soul units is different, that is, they are really eliminated.

Bei Heng seems to be opposed to "elimination". He can't explain why he doesn't like "elimination". It's just an instinctive rejection.

Before, when Bei Heng killed the player Huang Zongsheng for the first time in [Zombie Rising City], and then saw Huang Zongsheng still in the white building, he instinctively said a sentence-"Fortunately he still exists". This sentence is actually very strange, but Bei Heng didn't think about it at the time.

It was not until he became [Father of Heaven] and saw the players of the Inverted Cross Church offering sacrifices one after another and saying similar words that he reflected that he seemed to have some habitual concepts innately.

These concepts were not thought out by himself since he became conscious in the Ghost Sea, but were things that existed before that, and because he was too accustomed to his own thinking, he had never discovered the abnormality here.

His rejection of "annihilation" should be similar to the general rejection of death by players.

In fact, System 001 had told him the consequences of losing the game before. The consequence was nothing but [annihilation], and before annihilation, he had to bear the pain and negative emotions of all players when they died in the dungeon. But Bei Heng thought that if he lost, he would be annihilated, so the pain he endured could be ignored. It was just a process.

In other words, he was the only one who was hanging by a thread from beginning to end. Regardless of success or failure, his relationship with the players in the white building could only be a process and could not go to the end.

In this regard, Bei Heng's thoughts have always been pessimistic, especially after seeing the future Sartre, he was even more convinced that his future would not be a good result, and all his efforts were a struggle to annihilate.

It was also under this pressure that Bei Heng wanted to have power more and more. But sometimes he would unconsciously think pessimistically that his purpose was to delay this process rather than to change his fate.

To be honest, he couldn't tell whether his pessimistic thinking was developed in the Ghost Sea or before that.

"..."

Bei Heng's face darkened slightly, and he quickly put these meaningless thoughts behind him and focused on the reality in front of him.

At this time, Virgil had already rushed to his mother.

The devil disappeared, and his mother returned to normal. The wrinkles on her face gradually disappeared, and the whole person seemed radiant. She opened her eyes, first looked at the ceiling dully, and then looked at Virgil beside the bed.

"Mom is here." She smiled, stretched out her hand to rub Virgil's golden hair, and tears came to her eyes.

They met again after a long time, talking about mother and son.

Beiheng was about to leave and pushed open the door.

"Sir, are you a witch doctor?" Virgil ran very fast and ran to Beiheng in a moment.

The child wiped his tears, very excited, and said a lot of thanks.

"No."

Beiheng glanced sideways and found that Virgil's mother was about to get out of bed.

The woman had been bedridden for a month without eating, but after the devil disappeared, she quickly recovered her strength.

The logical design of this level is more or less magical. No, perhaps after the "devil" disappeared, their soul energy was transferred to Virgil's mother, so as an NPC, she not only recovered quickly, but her physique was stronger than before. This is another sense of energy conservation.

Virgil's mother bowed deeply to Bei Heng. She looked like a typical simple and kind NPC.

Just as Bei Heng was about to say something, he suddenly heard a noise outside.

"Help! He's crazy!"

"Come and subdue him!"

"The Knights, go find the Knights, he's possessed by the devil!"

The sound of objects colliding was mixed in the voices. Some people used swords, but it was useless. The NPC possessed by the devil was too powerful, and their swords couldn't hurt his body.

In the fight, other NPCs were possessed by the devil and killed other NPCs.

These devils were all players. They quickly grasped the key points of the level, which was to kill the NPC, as a member of the demon army, kill the dungeon boss, and rule the world.

Before that, some of them thought about the possibility of all players joining forces to pass the level, and thought it was impossible, but this level directly gave them the opportunity, or in other words, they were forced to become a camp.

In addition to the absolute disagreement on the fight for the "Heart of the Lord", in this level, they were grasshoppers strung together. Taking away the bodies of NPCs and killing all NPCs is their first task. Basically, the middle and high-level players in this level should be aware of this, but only a few people are aware of the hidden dangers in the players, that is, the magic core implanted in the soul.

Bei Heng improved his auditory perception, just like turning on the player's [Listen] skill, and heard everything in the vicinity.

The Knights came, and it seemed that they brought a priest with them.

The NPCs transformed by the players seemed to be able to use the player's skills, and the basic values ​​were also converted to the player's original values.

They killed together with the members of the Knights, and the priests in the back chanted the spell.

Will this spell work? Bei Heng had a doubt, but he soon knew the answer.

The spell chanted by the priest had a great impact on the players. They seemed to be tied up by ropes, unable to move, and were pressed to the ground by a powerful force, unable to move.

The Knights took the opportunity to capture them.

"My Lord, please give me the power to destroy these evil demons!" The priest shouted loudly.

The players on the ground twitched violently and shouted words that the NPCs could not understand.

"Fuck, how could this happen."

"Are they trying to purify us?!"

"Ahhh it hurts!"

Soon, the priest increased the intensity of the chanting, and several players screamed and disappeared, and the game failed.

Beiheng seemed to sense that several of them had entered the white building. In other words, the players killed by the priests would not be annihilated? In this case, the real danger to the players is the magic core implanted in their souls by the system.

This is a psychological game that is set up fairly for all players. On the surface, this level is about players transforming into NPCs, but in depth, the magic core devours the players. From the perspective of the players, it is hard to imagine how vicious this design is. In a subtle way, they will be completely eliminated.

However, Beiheng just thought about this question.

Because he has been silent, Virgil's mother is a little confused and looks at Virgil.

Virgil nodded, already a little used to it, and explained: "Sir, you are thinking about something important."

Bei Heng, who was oblivious to the others, came back to his senses and said goodbye to them: "Sorry, I suddenly had something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Virgil said anxiously: "Mr. Vincent! We haven't thanked you properly yet."

"No need, you saved me too." Bei Heng could have just left, but he was arguing with the NPC about whether to stay or go. He might not be good at rejecting kind NPCs, "Try to go out as little as possible, something big will happen outside."

What he said was a bit contradictory, because he knew something would happen outside, but he still had to go out.

Virgil was a little flustered, and suddenly an idea came to his mind and said: "Sir, wait a minute!"

As he said that, he immediately turned around and flipped through an old cabinet at the head of the bed.

Virgil's mother looked at Virgil with relief, as if she had thought of something, and didn't say much.

Bei Heng looked back and saw Virgil holding a black book. He said to him, "This is the scripture left by my father! My father used to be a priest. He said that reciting the scripture can defeat the devil. I tried it before and it didn't work. It should be because I don't have enough mental strength. Mr. Vincent's words will definitely work!"

From Virgil's words, we can know that this book is probably a relic left by Virgil's father, and it may be the only relic. However, he gave it to a stranger because the stranger saved his mother and was about to face danger.

Bei Heng paused. This might be the first time he had encountered such pure kindness since he became conscious. He felt that people's kindness might be more difficult to deal with than malice.

After a few seconds of silence, Bei Heng accepted Virgil's black book and said, "Thank you."

Virgil smiled happily, his green eyes seemed to be shining with the sun, and he said excitedly, "It's great to be able to help you!"

Bei Heng stared at him. For some reason, maybe because of the similar eye color, he saw the shadow of the Pope in Virgil. It might be a bit strange to say this, because even in the temple, he didn't see the Pope's appearance clearly. There was a side profile of the Pope in Sen Luo's memory, but from that angle, to be honest, it was difficult to imagine the Pope's face.

Now there was nothing else on Virgil in front of him that looked like a player's soul. Virgil was indeed just an ordinary game NPC and had nothing to do with the Pope.

Virgil, who had been stared at by Bei Heng, tilted his head and showed a puzzled expression.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Bei Heng shook his head and opened the black book in his hand.

The content of the book was basically the same as he imagined. Most of the popular scriptures in the infinite world were compiled in this way. The biggest difference was the specific spells and chanting techniques. According to convention, these spells would only take effect if they were injected with soul power.

Finally, Bei Heng looked at Virgil for a while before leaving their house.

Virgil watched him walk away at the door, with longing in his eyes.

Bei Heng, who walked all the way and observed the residential area, confirmed his guess again that most NPCs were possessed by players, and the players who had not yet successfully transformed were trying their best to brainwash NPCs.

Bei Heng in the alley coincidentally saw a wanted list on the wall next door, which said that the empire wanted a certain criminal.

Should he move towards the empire? Mo Sui, Juan'er and other strategic players should control the empire system, especially the human army, as soon as possible.

When I went to the imperial capital, I could know the actions of the players in the white building, but I could only understand them. I couldn't get involved with them too much. The two-line promotion has always been a necessary strategy between me and the players in the white building, and this basic strategy has not changed until now.

□□ is handled by Mo Sui and others, the intelligence bureau is handled by the chief of staff of Olympus, the war bureau is handled by the players of large guilds such as the mercenary union, and the single combat power bureau is handled by Orlan Baibian and others. The chess pieces should correspond to the appropriate bureau.

But from the basic logic, almost all the elite players of 49 planes are standing on my side, while the opponents are elite players of more than a dozen planes. It seems that they will lose a lot to them in terms of quantity, but they are also at a greater disadvantage.

Once the confrontation begins, there will be many unknowns. Now the game has just started and is still in the latent stage.

Thinking of this, Bei Heng stopped and looked up at the nearby church building.

His destination is the church.

Because now it seems that his true self should not be the devil, but the righteous god worshipped by the church, but now this righteous god has been sealed by the player with a card, and the indigenous church has been cut off from the connection with the god, and the strength of the sacrifice may decline.

This level is very complicated in various senses, because those powerful high-level players find that their identity in the level is a devil, then they will most likely not act rashly, but sneak into the human world and use various means to cause the NPC to perish. War, plague, and famine are all means they may use.

In Beiheng's understanding, some crazy players do have a lot of props that can cause plague.

Thinking of this, Beiheng walked straight towards the church.

At the same time, he slightly sensed the situation on the level boss's side, and the result was nothing.

Bei Heng thought about it, and combined with the situation that he could not contact the white building, he made an assumption, that is, his main consciousness is actually still there, sealed and unable to communicate, and the self outside is equivalent to the secondary consciousness, which cannot communicate with the white building, or in other words, once the secondary consciousness communicates with the white building, he will be identified as the level boss by the game system, and then be restricted by the debuff and sealed back into the body of the level boss.

Maybe this is why Zuo Tong cannot contact himself, because once he contacts, the level system will begin to recognize the consciousness of the level boss. Of course, it may also be that the "Heart of the Lord God" affects the level system, making the level system itself reject other Lord God props, resulting in their power being limited, just like the previous four copies.

In short, take it slow, the "unknown terrifying existence" implanted in the players before the level starts should make them honest for a while in fear.

Bei Heng walked while thinking, and killed all the players he met along the way.

The scripture that Virgil gave him soon came into play. He could indeed use the spells in it to deal with players. He also saw a symbol [Word Spirit LV1] displayed in the upper right corner of his vision.

So that's it, this level also has an internal upgrade mechanism.

Not long after, Bei Heng walked to the door of the church.

Inside the church, a middle-aged NPC who looked like a priest was chanting scriptures on the high platform.

There were about a hundred NPCs who came to worship standing in the audience. They held their hands tightly, bowed their heads and closed their eyes, looking very pious.

The performance of the organ gave the whole space a sense of solemnity.

However, Bei Heng saw that the NPCs in the audience were all players of the Inverted Cross Church.
