Pollution throughout the territory - #327 - Chapter 323 Throne
Xia Ren’s consciousness had just woken up, and the first thing he noticed was the three lines of text that appeared in his mind.
“Listen to the prayers of the unfortunate… Hehehehe?”
Is the system laughing?
So wretched.
But one thing is certain, what is about to happen is related to the function that he only acquired in 10,000 and 30 days, which is Mingshu.
There was no prompt about this function in the system, but soon, he would know the true function of Mingshu.
Surrounded by a bone-chilling chill, Xia Ren slowly opened his eyes, and saw a huge black shadow flashing past in front of him. A terrifying roar echoed in his ears, followed by a low whisper, with a calmness. Indescribable madness.
“There are already abscesses under the fresh flesh and blood. When the star map flashes, the sleeping god will break free from the seal again and slaughter everything…”
As Xia Ren’s eyes opened completely, the illusion around him disappeared in an instant, leaving only the lingering coolness.
He found that he was holding his chin with one hand, sitting diagonally on a simple throne. He didn’t know what kind of material it was made of. There were no gorgeous patterns on the surface, but there was a faint green light, and he felt the coolness. , is derived from it.
His body seemed to have not moved for a long time and was as stiff as a rusty machine. It took a lot of effort for Xia Ren to change his movements and change to a more comfortable sitting position.
A word suddenly popped into his mind:
The body is immortal.
Looking around with doubtful eyes, he found that he was in a vast space. There was nothing in front of him. There seemed to be some shimmering particles in the air, which prevented the space from falling into complete darkness.
Xia Ren lowered his head and looked down, and his heart suddenly tightened.
In front of the throne, there is a vertical cliff, an unknown distance from the ground. If he takes a step forward, he will inevitably fall into this terrifying abyss, leaving no trace of his body.
He was suddenly grateful that he was sitting here honestly just now, otherwise his life might be in danger if he moved around.
Immediately afterwards, a series of questions popped up:
Where is this?
Why am I here?
What should I do?
“so afraid……”
“Someone… help me…”
Only then did he hear a woman’s vague voice coming from under the abyss.
How can I help you when we are so far away?
Xia Ren held the armrests of the throne with both hands, stretched his head and glanced down, and suddenly felt a little scared.
“Hey, you’re asking for more…”
As soon as I finished speaking, the system prompts appeared in my mind again:
[Please ask the host to answer the prayers of the unfortunate person. 】
【Mingshu (ongoing)
Completion reward: 500 achievement points. 】
Five hundred points! ! !
I was speechless with excitement.
Xia Ren immediately changed his mind, sat on the throne, and said in a serious tone: “Woman, you successfully caught my attention!”
As he spoke the words, he was surprised to find that the voice of this body was completely different from his own in reality. It was a bit hoarse, unusually loud, and full of aggression, which was beyond doubt.
What’s going on? Isn’t this my body?
Only then did Xia Ren realize that the world in front of him was full of weirdness. The black shadows and whispers when he opened his eyes, the bluestone throne, the stiff body, the abyss under his feet, and the woman immersed in fear in the abyss…
An ancient dream?
No, or is it just a dream?
A woman’s frightened voice came from below:
“Who is it? Who is talking?”
This strong sense of déjà vu…
Xia Ren complained in his mind that according to the habit of writing novels, this time is the best time to show off.
After a pause, he supported the armrest of the throne and replied: “I am… the king of bronze and fire, Constantine.”
Feeling a little ashamed, even Xia Ren’s face felt hot. He then changed the subject and said: “I haven’t talked to anyone for a long time. Since you can come here, it doesn’t hurt for me to listen to your prayers.”
To be honest, he felt that this way of talking was very troublesome, but he could not let go of the airs he had put up so easily.
Besides, being so far apart, what if the other party doesn’t trust me because of this? That’s five hundred achievement points, and you must not throw away the fat you got.
The woman was silent for a long time, probably needing time to digest the situation in front of her.
After a while, just when Xia Ren couldn’t help but want to ask aloud, a response finally came from below: “Respected, respected Bronze King…”
The woman stopped when she said this, and Xia Ren vaguely heard her muttering in a low voice: “What’s going on? This name is so damn long…”
“Ahem!”
Xia Ren coughed twice and continued to say with dignity: “King of Bronze and Fire, Constantine!”
“Ah! I can hear it.”
The woman exclaimed softly.
If it wasn’t too far away, Xia Ren really wanted to jump down and see what this somewhat naive woman looked like.
“Dear…Dear you.”
Probably still afraid of mispronunciation, the woman simply omitted her name, replaced it with your title, and said, “Can you help me?”
“…What problem did you encounter?”
Xia Ren’s expression became much more serious.
Although I have never experienced Mingshu before, this function sounds high-end, and the surrounding scene is indeed full of beauty, especially the throne under the buttocks, which is not warm at all. It is definitely the legendary Xuanbing Chalcedony Made of such materials.
In this scenario, the questions raised by the other party may be very troublesome, otherwise the system would be so stingy and it would not be possible to reward yourself with 500 achievement points at once.
He was mentally prepared, but he didn’t know whether he would be greeted by an alien organization, a mutant monster, or a witch or wizard from the Wizards’ Alliance.
The woman mustered up her courage and said with a trembling voice: “I seem to… meet… a ghost.”
“ghost?”
Xia Ren held his chin up and frowned slightly.
“Ghoul?”
This is indeed troublesome. Although due to system tasks, he will have to take the initiative to find a ghoul sooner or later, but not now. He is not yet confident that he can compete with an adult ghoul.
“No, no, no, not that kind of monster in the game.”
The woman immediately denied it, and then said: “She has no body, the kind that as soon as I turn off the light, she will run to my ear and say, ‘I am so miserable.’ You don’t know how scary it is!”
Hearing this, Xia Ren frowned deeper.
“…The ghost you mentioned, has she ever hurt you?”
The woman hesitated for a while and said, “It seems not yet, but I feel like she is running out of patience. The roaring in my ears has gotten louder and louder recently, and I can’t even sleep with headphones on.”
That means you could still fall asleep even if the other person yelled in your ear before?
Is this fear?
If you can still fall asleep after I’ve been yelling for so many days, I’ll be irritable too.
“Is there any more?” Xia Ren asked.
“No more.” the woman replied.
“That’s it?”
It sounds like it’s just a first-class infectious agent at most. It’s not a problem at all for Xia Ren now. It could even be solved by Qin Yun in the past.
He felt that he had wasted so much emotion in vain, and even just a moment ago, he was ready to contact the foundation to form a team to clear the ghoul dungeon, but he did not expect this to be the case.
“Where do you live?”
The woman answered honestly: “A certain room in a certain unit building in a certain community in Dongpu City.”
“Okay, I get it.”
Xia Ren plans to take time to go there tomorrow.
“Hey, wait a minute.”
The woman felt that he was about to leave, so she quickly tried to persuade him: “Are you willing to help me with anything?”
“Any other situations?”
Xia Ren wondered whether the next step would be the main topic.
“that……”
The woman said coyly: “Actually… I still lack money…”
“…” Xia Ren.
The woman thought he wouldn’t agree, so she quickly said: “Actually, if you don’t need money, it’s not impossible to arrange a handsome boyfriend for me…”
Xia Ren didn’t want to talk to her, so he sent her a message: “At nine o’clock tomorrow morning, stay at home and I’ll send an envoy over.”
“Huh? Wouldn’t it be too sudden to come directly to my house?”
The woman didn’t expect that the other party would actually agree to introduce her boyfriend to her.
Xia Ren thought she was talking about infected bodies and wondered why this woman was so troublesome.
But for the sake of 500 achievement points, I can bear it.
“Then tell me a place.”
“The Xingrui Coffee Shop next to the Seven O’Clock Office Building!”
“Back off.”
Xia Ren waved his hand.
The woman felt that the surrounding darkness instantly enveloped her and swallowed her up. Xia Ren’s consciousness was also pulled and pulled away, returning to chaos.
The whole space fell silent. The long-haired man in torn robes held his chin with one hand, sat lazily on the throne, and slowly closed his eyes.
Finally no more glitches.
