Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

The player did not delay after catching the mission target, and quickly carried the person to the city hall to exchange for rewards.

Yang Qiu came forward to receive the captured Sam, and then issued a follow-up mission to the players - to send these energetic guys out to sweep up the cult strongholds in the surrounding villages and towns of Lars City.

Lars City is an "old nest", and it is still an "old nest" under the nose of the Gold Coin Church. Yang Qiu used his knees to think that the original city owner who was suspected of being serious would try his best to avoid eating "nest grass", and the surrounding towns would It is the hardest hit area.

With the style of this group of players going all the way, the villages and towns around Lars City will definitely be very lively during this period... But the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, clear away the hidden safety hazards in the occupied area as soon as possible, and ensure the safety of the local people. The influence of the cult disaster is the most important thing, and other things can be moved back a little.

Sam Atwood, whose property has been seized by the undead and exchanged for game currency and prestige from Yang Qiu, was generously handed over to Captain Mace by Yang Qiu for interrogation.

Captain Mays reciprocated, and took the initiative to pull Agent Stanford to show his frankness.

In the room temporarily vacated as an interrogation room on the first floor of the city hall, Sam, who was ashen-faced and tied to a chair, didn't react much when he saw the two strange men coming in.

"Sam Atwood." Captain Mace called out the name, and couldn't help sighing, "You know what we want to ask."

Sam didn't move.

"Alger Gavin, Cecilia Tang, Walter Bradley, Jill Paul... and Gavin's wife Alisa, do you have anything to say about the whereabouts of these five people?"

Detective Stanford noticed with blazing eyes that when Captain Mace mentioned Gavin's wife Alisa, Sam blinked unnaturally, and the muscles around his lips tensed slightly.

"You killed Mrs. Alisa Gavin." Detective Stanford seized the gap in the man's mind and said quickly.

"No—no! I didn't kill Mrs. Gavin!" Sam instinctively denied.

"He repeated my question." Agent Stanford looked at Captain Mace.

People with ulterior motives will repeat other people's questions when denying, rather than succinctly and directly denying - liars will always speak more complicated than usual.

Captain Mace also has a wealth of interrogation experience, and said solemnly: "Lying is no good for you, Sam Atwood, the disappearance of a captain and three night watchmen, you know what it means."

The night watchman is the guardian of the human city and the last barrier for human beings in the face of unknown darkness.

The family members of the night watchman who died in the line of duty will be treated with courtesy from the royal family to the common people; any sect will thoroughly investigate the death of the night watchman.

Sam's ashen face grew paler, and the last trace of blood faded from his lips.

Yes... There is no way for him to retreat.Captain Gavin and the three night watchmen were killed, and the Church would not have let him go.

"I really... didn't kill her, I just sent her away, and spread the rumor that she eloped with someone..." Sam murmured.

Captain Metz subconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth tightly to suppress the sudden anger in his chest.

Mrs. Gavin will persistently pursue the trace of her missing husband, and letting her disappear is the most "appropriate" way to deal with it—sending her away is the same as killing her, leaving the safe area of ​​the city and the family of the night watchman captain This identity fell into the hands of those with malicious intentions, and Mrs. Gavin was never alive!

The intruder's evasive attitude made Captain Metz extremely angry... He couldn't even speak, otherwise he would inevitably scold this bastard uncontrollably, causing the interrogation to be interrupted.

Detective Stanford understood Captain Mace's mood, and continued to interrogate him: "Which evil god do you, and the people you are loyal to worship?"

This time, Sam was silent for a long time.

He had been abandoned by his allegiances, and that was the obvious fact.

Smiling miserably, this betrayer, who had also suffered betrayal, opened his mouth with difficulty: "'The Whisperer'."

Both Agent Stanford and Captain Mace changed color.

In the office on the top floor of the municipal building, Yang Qiu, who "observed" the interrogation with the brand of Agent Stanford, couldn't help frowning.

The Fallen Whisperer—Gay Latoti, in the ancient mythology of the Nabalon continent, was deceived by the lady of pleasure, challenged the main god of death with a mortal body, and was cursed with "eternal death". A corrupted whisperer who lives with death.

This fallen person who has been ranked among the evil gods since ancient times does not possess the powerful power of evil gods, but his fanatics always go on and on and eliminate them. There is only one reason - believers who have won the favor of the Whisperer will also be killed Infected with the cursed breath of "eternal death", the god of death, and become a body that is both alive and dead.

Life and death coexist in the same body. To explain it in layman's terms, it means being able to transcend the limit of life span. Although it is by no means immortal, it is true that one can live for decades or hundreds of years.

This mandatory extended lifespan will not make the experience much better. The senses of taste, smell, and touch will gradually be lost as the organs age, and the emotions that a person should have will gradually fade, and the reaction will gradually become dull. — but even with all the inconveniences, it's still an effective way to prolong life.

Detective Stanford instantly understood why Lars City... no, why the upper echelons of Takia Land dared to go crazy under the eyes of the Gold Coin Church, and even killed several night watchmen—for these For those who have enjoyed the splendor and wealth all their lives, the temptation to prolong their lifespan is indeed hard to resist.

Captain Mace could also understand this point, his face became extremely ashen.

"Whisperer" is different from other evil gods. There is a prefix before his name: fallen.

"The Corrupted Whisperer——Guy Ratoti" is the full title.

Guy Latoti is just a mortal like the dead Kazan, but unlike Kazan who served the Lord God of Death, Guy Latoti was cursed by the Lord God of Death and fell. From the time of his fall, the "whisperer" There is no so-called rationality at all... In other words, there is no such thing as a "correct way of sacrifice" for worshiping the Whisperer!

"Fallen Whisperer", there is no cult!

If you want to get Gai Ratoti's favor, you can only try your luck with a large number of live sacrifices.

A fanatic of the Whisperer is more harmful than any cultist!

"You are from the Church, and you are the steward of the Night's Watch, Sam Atwood!"

Captain Mace couldn't help but slapped the table with his palm, and the solid solid wood square table fell apart on the spot.

The excited captain of the night watchman ignored the annoyance and gaffe, and pointed at the betrayer angrily: "You clearly know how cruel and inhumane the sacrifice of the 'Whisperer' is, but you actually work for a tiger, betraying Lady Gold Coin and betraying your companions." behavior! How can you be worthy of your surname?!"

After receiving such a severe accusation, the dispirited Sam suddenly became agitated, and roared loudly with red eyes: "Don't call me by my full name! What do you know! Am I willing to be named Atwood? I can choose my origin." What?! What do you know!!”

When he roared out indignantly, this poor wretch who was obviously unable to obtain the "rare" "Whisperer's Favor" in a certain sense, was used and abandoned, was tied to the iron The body on the chair suddenly became abnormal.

Detective Stanford's face changed, he got up quickly, and exited the interrogation room at the first time - he is not extraordinary, for emergencies that are beyond the scope of ordinary people's response, it is everyone's responsibility to avoid danger early.

Sam's change also made Captain Mace, who was in a rage, regain his sanity a little. He hurriedly strode forward, slashing at the man's neck with his hand, trying to knock him out.

The iron palm that could split thick wood struck the side of Sam's neck, but the touch made Captain Mace suddenly change color.

As hard as cowhide, you can't feel the bones, but have a soft rebounding feeling - that is no longer the touch of a human body.

Captain Mace was astonished and backed away with an ugly expression.

In just a few seconds, Sam had deformed to an astonishing extent... His neck stretched upwards exaggeratedly, his torso and limbs shrank rapidly, but his head grew bigger and bigger, and in a blink of an eye it had swelled to the size of a millstone.

Sam himself, who had completely lost his mind, was unaware of the terrible changes in himself, and was still roaring and roaring, making strange roars that had no clear meaning and could no longer be interpreted.

On the gigantic and swollen head, where the facial features can still be seen, Sam's eyes were bloodshot, with deep black blood tears dripping down with unconscious roars, dripping on the ground, and emitting on the wooden floor. The slightest burning sound.

"It seems that his spirit has been unknowingly polluted in his frequent dealings with cult members."

Yang Qiu who didn't know when came down from upstairs stood at the door of the interrogation room, looking at the room with his hands behind his back.

"...Mr. Yang." Captain Mace, who retreated to the door, looked back in embarrassment.

Yang Qiu could see Captain Mace's guilt, and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry about it, this person didn't lose control because of your reasonable accountability. His spirit has long been abnormal, but he is only a hair away from a sane collapse."

Captain Mace nodded, shook his head again, didn't say anything, just silently looked at Sam who was shedding deep black blood and tears after the distortion.

The huge blood-colored eyes of Sam, who was already completely crazy, also stared at him, opening and closing his mouth like a basin, as if he was trying to tell Captain Mace something.

"Perhaps, the surname Atwood really didn't bring much luck to Sam." Detective Stanford, who had escaped from the interrogation room earlier, said, "It is only a big family that can move the whole family to live in other places. This is common sense for all grown-ups. The name Atwood originated in Middle-earth and was not common in the Eastern Kingdoms. Sam hated being called by his full name, probably because it once made him It's extremely embarrassing."

Captain Mace turned around in astonishment.

"Didn't you notice, Captain, that Sam's body proportions are wrong, his hands, feet, and torso are short, but his head is of normal size, which makes him look short and big, deformed, and his back is a little stooped. And for his age, his left and right faces are quite asymmetrical, and his teeth are pretty bad."

Agent Stanford said calmly: "From these characteristics, it is not difficult to see that Sam was chronically malnourished for a long period of time when he was a teenager, and he had to eat very bad food for a living. Such a poor appearance has a very brilliant surname , there is no doubt that Sam will be a joke for many boring people."

Captain Mace stared blankly at Detective Stanford for a while, then turned his gaze to Sam again.

Unexpectedly... Sam, who was staring at Captain Mace, also turned his terrifying blood-red eyes to the outside of the corridor.

Detective Stanford, who walked out of the corridor early, could not see the situation in the interrogation room, and was still analyzing calmly: "Sam's age is too different from that of Cardinal Atwood, so he should be a great-grandchild; The second son of King Atwood is indeed a famous playboy five or 60 years ago. Sam is very likely to be the grandson of this second son. His father is the illegitimate grandson of King Atwood. This possibility is relatively high .”

"This person is a well-known figure often mentioned by my grandfather. I heard that he had many illegitimate children when I was a child. Obviously, it is difficult for Sam's father to get too much attention based on blood. Sam, who has been separated for a generation, probably The one who can get the most is the surname 'Atwood', and can be arranged to work in the church after adulthood."

Captain Mace once again looked back at Agent Stanford who was chatting outside the corridor, and then looked into the room in shock.

Sam, with his head enlarged and his body shrunk down to that of a young man, stopped deforming. His huge head stared fixedly at the wall of the corridor, and he no longer made unidentifiable roars. I am sane!

Detective Stanford was not wrong, or rather...his analysis touched the depths of Sam's heart.

Since Sam was a teenager, most of the people he met would express the attitude of "ah, so you are a young master from a good family" after hearing his full name.

Take another look at Sam's unseemly attire and slightly misshapen appearance, and savor the name "Sam" which is so common that one or two of ten men randomly selected will have the same name. It becomes ambiguous, and the look will become playful.

Sam grew up with this vision.

For a long time, when Sam faced the mocking eyes of others mixed with pity and curiosity, he would pretend to "show off": Yes, sir/madam, my father and the great Art His Majesty Wood is related by blood!

Whenever he said that, it always caused people to laugh, thinking that he was a poor but very interesting person.

And Sam would laugh too, with the half-jokey laugh of a clown in a wandering circus.

No one could understand how Sam felt when he used his destiny to please others, and no one could understand that when he was an adult, he was found and told by the church that he had a surname from an extremely great, extremely great, and detached man. What kind of mood did Sam feel when he was a great-grandfather?

Yes, he got a good job that paid very well compared to his original living level, with an annual salary of hundreds of gold coins.

But he can also read from the newspapers and learn from inside the church what kind of life those "blood relatives" who really have the surname Atwood live.

A respectable and decent job as a night watchman officer, a generous annual salary of hundreds of gold coins - compared to those "blood relatives" who have the blood of a cardinal like him and have the surname Atwood !

He is not reconciled!Not reconciled!Not reconciled!

At this time, the Stanford detective who made some analysis gave his evaluation: "Unfortunately, although he is an illegitimate child who is not officially accepted, he has inherited the surname of Atwood anyway, and he can get the vigil as soon as he comes up." Personnel affairs officer, a position that outsiders can't even grab, such a start-up has not been managed well."

Yang Qiu was also observing Agent Stanford's influence on the out-of-control man in the room, and answered the conversation with great interest: "Oh, how do you say that?"

"He has the surname Atwood, so he will naturally attract more attention from within the church. He will only receive extra attention, and no one will dare to take the risk of offending His Majesty Atwood to suppress him." Stanford The agent's tone was steady and his attitude was upright. "In other words, as long as he is willing to work hard on himself, he will be promoted more easily than anyone else. It is not impossible to be called to the Holy Land, or to be accepted by the Atwood family again."

"But he chose another path. He gave up his natural advantages and smooth future, betrayed the church and turned to speculate elsewhere. In my opinion, there is nothing stupid about this." Agent Stanford disagreed. "I don't even know where my own advantages are, and even the companions I get along with day and night betray without hesitation. This kind of muddleheaded fool, even a fanatic of the evil gods, would not be willing to trust such a person."

Yang Qiu and Captain Metz turned their eyes to the interrogation room at the same time.

Sam stared at the wall of the corridor, his mouth half-opened, motionless.

The distorted body that was synchronously distorted due to mental mutations also began to disintegrate due to severe mental shocks, atomizing and collapsing from the outer layer...

Detective Stanford speculated a bit out of professional habits, and made a summary and comment based on personal preferences, only to find that Yang and Captain Mace were staring straight at the room: "Huh? What happened?"
