Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

The "Kent Bennett Disappearance Case" that has plagued Port Moses for 12 years was perfectly resolved by the undead in less than two hours. As soon as the matter reached the local court, the court was preparing to take compulsory measures to expel the undead The Prophet Karida, and the apologist knights of the Gold Coin Church summoned by Karida, were all stupefied.

"What are you talking about? Repeat it from the beginning." The prophet Karida, who was a few years younger than Bishop Cromwell, once thought that he had a hearing problem.

The errand-running night watchman honestly recounted what happened in the night watchman building not long ago, including the fact that Miss Phoenix left her secretary at the night watchman headquarters to "translate and copy" the undead language documents. .

The Night Watchman Organization, like the Tribunal, is a violent institution belonging to the church. Even departments at the same level must obey the orders of the regional bishop; the only difference is that the leaders of the Night Watchman Organization often do not work for a long time, and early retirement is common. , It is difficult to emerge a long-term strong leader like a referee.

Prophet Karida has been in power for more than 50 years, and in these 50 years, the captain of the night watchman at the same level has changed three... In front of Karida, the captain of the night watchman must naturally maintain the etiquette of the younger generation.

"...There is such a thing."

After listening to the process, Karida's attitude of resolutely expelling the undead not long ago also softened.

Of course, Karida knew how dangerous the highly suspected disaster area in Laundry Lane had swallowed dozens of lives. Karida also helped when the night watchman sealed off the place.

Compared with the ability to resolve incidents with such high efficiency, speed, and no battle damage (no casualties except the undead), it does not seem too unacceptable to tolerate dirty and chaotic undead haunting the city...

Karida sighed, she understood the purpose of the captain of the night watchman to send someone to inform her of the details. Obviously, Cromwell was right about the choice of "hiring the undead". Er reasonably suppressed her, and even asked her to be transferred as an excuse.

Just as she has always been very disgusted with Cromwell, a selfish guy, Cromwell has always been disgusted with her ignorance.

"I understand." Karida said with a strong spirit, "Please tell your captain that the referee will not interfere with this matter for the time being."

That night, Karida spent a sleepless night, flipping through the classics related to the undead in his study, and even the books on occultism, trying to find out from history similar to Tarantan's undead. The Wisdom of Dark Creatures Records.

In the early morning of the next day, Karida, who had stayed up all night, was about to go to the library of the referee to look for materials, when the night watchman sent another person over.

"Those undead found the shadow demon in the port area?? Just overnight?!"

Hearing the news brought by the night watchman, even though she was mentally prepared, Karida still couldn't hold back her breath.

The shadow demon in the port area is an "urban legend" circulated among the locals in a small area. According to the rumor, there are sailors who have passed away from other places and cannot find their way home. They often wander around the port area at night. Unfortunately, they saw it People will also lose the memory of "home". Whether they are decent gentlemen or small laborers doing odd jobs, they will gradually lose their minds and become homeless in the port area.

The records in the church’s internal files are much more bizarre and sinister... In fact, people who see the shadow demon will not lose their family memories, nor will they become homeless, but will lose some normal human beings. emotion.

Some people will lose the perception of beauty and goodness, some people will lose their sense of boundaries to evil and justice, and some people will lose their sense of identity with human groups, and they will be separated from human society and human groups cognitively. .

In other words... People who have the misfortune to run into Shadow Demons may not look much different from normal people on the surface, but in places where no one else can see them, without exception, these people will gradually walk into the world of criminals!

Since 13 years ago, the church has dealt with more than ten cases of perpetrators who were corrupted by shadow demons in private or semi-publicly.

The most ferocious killer even created a series of extermination cases that shocked the whole country.

All written materials about Shadow Demon, in the existing archives of Moses Port, are second only to Calamity in secrecy level.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The night watchman who came to deliver the letter was also in an unbelievable trance, and said hoarsely, "Our people and the undead entered the port area together. In the first half of the night, these undead were just running around in the streets. , make noise, and accidentally scare the daring drunkards and night-crawlers home."

"In the middle of the night, these undead were tired of searching aimlessly, and they actually figured out how to catch fish at the port... Our people did say so, they stole fishing nets from fishermen's boats, and tried to drive The boats... our men tried to stop them too, but they ignored them."

"The undead took the boat to the middle of the river, and my colleagues...saw that Shadow Demon! It appeared on the boat driven by the undead!"

"No wonder we couldn't find any trace of that shadow demon no matter how we searched the port area. It was hiding at the bottom of the river!"

"The undead fought the shadow demon on the small boat. After the shadow demon fled to the bottom of the water, they chased it down again...they entangled with the shadow demon in the Barcelo River for a long time. My colleagues can only Occasionally, there are waves surging on the water."

The prophet Karida was speechless... No, the shadow demon hidden in the water will make everyone helpless, but the undead don't need to breathe, they can stay in the water for as long as they want.

"Two hours ago, when the sky was about to dawn, the undead came up from the water, and their number was reduced by nearly half...but they also killed the shadow demon." The night watchman who delivered the letter said in a dream, "Not only After killing the Shadow Demon, they also found the Shadow Demon's lair at the bottom of the river, and brought up some boxes containing gold coins, jewelry, and a skeleton belonging to a human being. A big pirate who fled to Moses Port to hide."

The Prophet Karida pinched his brows hard.

The pirate with bloody hands in his life degenerated the humans who witnessed its existence. This is indeed the answer that can reasonably explain the characteristics of the shadow demon.

The big pirate who fled to Moses Port hid his treasure in the deep water area in front of the port area, and for some reason, such as the ventilation pipe was blocked, was swept away by the waves, or was cut off by the propeller of a passing ship on the river, Die silently in the underwater cave... Then of course it will not leave there, it will guard its wealth day and night.

"Well, it seems that Port of Moses really needs these mysterious Tarantan undead." Karida sighed, "Since these undead can communicate and solve problems for human beings, we really shouldn't reject them too much .”

The night watchman who sent the letter hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "This... Your Excellency, this is why the captain sent me here..."

"Oh? What else is there?" Karida asked quickly.

The night watchman swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "The undead who came to Port Moses...more. After the shadow demon in the port area was dealt with, Miss Phoenix asked Leo's family...to bring more than a dozen undead in carriages into the city. .”

"Now, these undead who are curious about everything have already run all over the city."

Karida stared at the night watchman seriously, trying to make sure he was telling the truth.

The night watchman who delivered the letter struggled to squeeze out a flattering smile: "Actually... when I drove over, some undead climbed into my car without asking me where I was going. I wanted to drive them off, but—"

Before the night watchman could finish his explanation, Karida heard the terrified scream of the old servant sweeping the courtyard.

Karida walked quickly to the window and opened the curtains of the French windows.

In the courtyard, two undead squatted in front of the flowerbed cultivated by Karida himself, as if they knew how to appreciate green plants, and pointed at the precious flowers that had just sprouted buds.

From the perspective of the study room on the second floor, Karida could see how these two undead valued the precious flowers in the flower garden...they even knew not to step on the carefully selected fine sand in the flower garden.

The screaming old servant standing at the other end of the flower garden did not attract the two undead's attention. They only glanced in the direction of the old servant, and then continued to comment on the precious flowers, as if they were discussing something seriously.

Karida: "..."

Uninvited, breaking into other people's gardens, of course, can be regarded as the behavior of a bad guest, but... She didn't step on her flower garden, and she didn't attack her servants. On the contrary, she admired the flowers she cultivated herself very much—— If these two "fellow friends" were not undead but just ordinary people, Karida might have to go downstairs to chat with them for a while to cultivate his experience.

Karida turned around slowly, looked at the fearful night watchman, and said stiffly, "These undead... know the most basic human communication etiquette?"

The night watchman nodded vigorously.

Of course he refused when the undead climbed into his carriage, but the two undead were very "sensible" and took a small bag of candy (rock sugar) wrapped in clean oil paper as fare... He wanted to pay it back by force. Chasing him away, on the contrary, it seems that he is more unreasonable than the undead.

Karida felt that he should go to the night watchman's building and confirm the activities and habits of these undead with his own eyes.

Karida changed into the priest's robe of the referee and went downstairs. The eyes of the two undead squatting in the garden lit up and rushed to her.

Karida took out the priest's scepter... But the two undead didn't do anything, but danced and gestured in front of her.

Karida was still in a daze, not understanding the intentions of the undead, but they walked away disappointed as if they had tested something, and continued to squat in front of the flower garden, admiring the delicate flowers from all over the continent.

Karida: "..."

The resolute Prophet forcibly controlled the dangerous thought of exploring the thoughts of the undead, and boarded the carriage driven by the night watchmen.

The carriage came out of the Midtown where the Prophet lived, and entered the city where the Night Watchman building was located. Karida even saw groups of undead coming to the streets led by the Night Watchman.

No matter where these undead go, they will cause screams, but the undead seem to be used to this kind of treatment, no matter how passers-by and merchants react, they don't care, they don't chase, threaten, or attack, they just move around curiously. Looking around, he communicated with the sound of jaw clashing.

Karida couldn't help pinching the space between his brows again...

One day ago, Karida, who saw a large group of undead taking to the streets, would definitely jump out of the car immediately to eliminate these guys who invaded human society, but now... She can understand that Lee Jean from the Inner Diocese The Bishop thought.

The degree of harm is similar to that of gang members who gather together, and even to some extent they are more "law-abiding" than gang members, and they have the ability to deal with dark creatures-although it is still difficult for people to open their hearts to accept these undead, they are indeed It's not so easy to make up your mind to tear your face apart.
