1062 The Opponent's Tale

Is Feigner's wish actually immortality?

Noting that the records in the notes were different from the information I found before, Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and found that things were not simple.

Throughout history, "eternal life" has always been something that many people dream of. Human life is too short. Even in today's advanced technology, living to one hundred years old can be called longevity. In ancient times, when the environment is harsh and backward, natural and man-made disasters have been continuously, there have been even miserable scenes of an average lifespan of 30 years.

For creatures like humans, lifespan is probably the biggest obstacle to restraining them, and Lin Chi also agrees with this view.

In Lin Chi's view, the fragile flesh and blood of human beings has irreparable defects. Diseases, aging, trauma... countless elements that plague human beings. Many people who could have achieved greater success die young due to terminal illness. When the elderly and the body is full of illnesses, living may even become a torture.

Human beings have always been working hard to extend their lifespan and achieve a better quality of life. However, under the constraints of flesh and blood, many researches in this area were in vain and could only end up hastily.

Compared with modern scientific research, Duke Fegner should be regarded as a pioneer in this field. As for what he did, the opponent's notes have been written very clearly:

"The Duke of Feigna brought back two angels from overseas. According to his words, the two angels can not only make him immortal, but also allow everyone in the temple to receive the immortal body given by God."

"At that time, everyone, including me, was very excited. No one really wanted to die, and we all wanted to live forever. Duke Feigna took us to visit the two angels, both wrapped in red cloth and looked like…"

——Why are there no words at critical moments?

Lin Chi complained secretly in his heart, skipping the chapter that had become blank for some reason, shifted his eyes down, and wrote down opponents of the notes, and began to tell the changes he had taken:

“We drank the blood of the 'angel'.”

"The alchemist found by Duke Feigna said that as long as you drink the blood of the gods, you can get eternal gifts. Everyone in the temple, including Duke Feigna, has been assigned blood. The blood hidden in the angel's corpse is even sweet."

"After drinking that blood, God's gift really came - those who were suffering from illness, their stubborn diseases were suddenly healed, and all the pain had disappeared, and even the pain was gone. At that time, we all thought that the inhabitants of the temple had really gained eternal life, but..."

"How come it's the same as a cult?" Lin Chi whispered.

——Drinking blood can cure all diseases. This kind of thing usually only occurs in cults similar to the "Blood Worship Cult". In Lin Chi's opinion, it is very strange that Duke Feigna and the residents of the temple believe this kind of thing so easily.

Could it be that the "alchemist" did something that made the residents of the temple believe his lies?

Reading the following content with questions, Lin Chi quickly realized that his guess seemed to have come true:

"We who drank the blood of the gods did get rid of the pain. But the good times did not last long, and the bodies of the temple residents began to undergo abnormal changes."

"The people who drank the blood, some obtained holy wings, some of their skin turned purple, and some of their demonic horns grew."

"Is this really a blessing given by the gods? Many people, including me, have doubts. Although they have lost their pain, we can all feel that our bodies have begun to change."

"Then, the seeds of hatred begin to take root and sprout."

Lin Chi just read this, and heavy footsteps sounded again in front of the door of the big library. He put down the notebook in his hand, stood still, and heard a male voice starting to pass the message:

"Ms. Smiling needs servants, stop cleaning the library, go there now, hurry up!"

"Affect the order, the sir, sir..." The servants' voices were as awe as usual.

All the hunchbacked people who were originally cleaning the library left the library. Soon, Lin Chi was the only one left here.

He picked up the notepad again and read the text behind it. The horrible past that was sealed in the temple turned into a blurry picture and presented it to him:

"We went to Duke Feigna to find a solution from this leader. But Duke Feigna disappeared, and no one knew where he went."

"The mutation in us continues, and no one knows what will happen if we continue like this. At this time, the alchemist who asked us to drink blood at that time, who claimed to be 'Bellock', returned to the temple again."

"That was a arrogant man, and he was very uncomfortable to speak sarcastically. He told us that through his research, the two bodies brought back by Duke Feigner were actually not pure angels, but mixed blood creatures of angels and demons, and mysterious existences called 'Nefitian' in ancient documents."

"The blood we drink not only contains the power of heaven, but also hides the power of hell. This is also the reason why the changes occur. Some of us transform in the direction of heaven, while the other one is closer to hell. There are a few of them who have had two reactions at the same time, becoming a combination of angels and demons."

"After learning about this bad news, we were almost all in despair. At this time, Bellock gave a new solution, saying that this problem can be solved forever."

"His method is to kill the people who have been transformed into demons, leaving only the people on the angel's side."

"When he first said it, of course, it was impossible for the residents of the temple to accept such crazy proposals: How could everyone be killed by friends who live in this temple? But as time goes by, the changes in us are becoming more and more obvious, and some friction begins to occur between the angel system and the demon system."

"Maybe it was because of the instinct hidden in the bloodline that the group of people who turned into angels began to argue with the people who turned into demons. The "neutral faction" that appeared at the same time was even more miserable. They had begun to show symptoms of schizophrenia, and some people even kept making themselves ill."

"The temple built by Duke Feigner has completely lost its original peace and can no longer return to its former state. At this moment, Bellock returned with the soldiers he hired."

"I can't remember what he did at that time, but he did intensify the conflicts in the temple. What happened in the temple was an incredible tragedy - the 'Demon Hunting' began!"

"So that's the case?" Lin Chi stared at the words on the paper in surprise.

Although he had vaguely noticed it, this was really even more amazing than he imagined: the mutations that the residents here were actually caused by drinking blood. In this way, the transformed self should have been injected with the blood of the "angel"!

The loss of pain recorded in the notes is indeed consistent with my current situation. The wings of flames that emerge from behind and the wild power flowing in my body are obviously not something that can be done by just the blacksmith's armor.

Now, Lin Chi is very clear: during the period when he was unconscious, this body was injected with the blood of the angels - the group of people who evolved into angels. The blood in the body should be purer than the "Nefitian" corpse found by Duke Feigna, at least not as many demonic components.

As for why they did this to the "pilgrims", there is no need to say more about the reasons:

"The Temple wants to mass produce angel soldiers? I think you are desperate..." Lin Chi sighed.

When he transformed in the blacksmith's craftsmanship, he felt a voice intending to control himself. For players, this kind of thing naturally has no effect, but those NPCs who have also received the transformation should not have such strong "resistance".

The blacksmith who witnessed all his family and friends being killed can remain awake temporarily due to strong hatred. As for the pilgrims who came to the temple and the guys in the temple who voluntarily received transformation, they must be unable to resist the brainwashing of the voice and directly transformed into angel soldiers who were loyal to the temple!

However, when it comes to this transformation, Lin Chi still has quite a complaint until now:

——The angel will really grow into this ghost? Is the temple's technology tree probably pointing a crooked point?

Although he didn't know his current appearance, Lin Chi still remembered clearly what he looked like after he was transformed. His skin was blue and his body was covered with stitches. It looked like he couldn't have anything to do with the angel.

In addition, the men in black robe patrolling the city did not look like angels, but gave people the feeling that they were closer to demons.

I guess these mysteries are also recorded in my notes, and as long as I continue reading, I should get the answer.

Under the slightly swaying candlelight, Lin Chi turned the next page, and the library was strangely quiet, and there was no sound except the sound of his flipping books.

However, Lin Chi still noticed something was wrong:

Perhaps it was because the Angel's perception was effective. He always felt that someone was staring at him and suddenly turned around. He saw a dark figure standing between the two bookshelfs behind him.

When it comes to Cao Cao, the man in black robe who was still suspicious of him just now appeared in the quiet library.

The man wore a top hat, his face completely hidden in the shadow under the brim of the hat. His long windbreaker was almost integrated with the darkness. He held a short-barrel hunting rifle in his left hand and a slender scimitar in his right hand.

"Hello?" Lin Chi said hello tentatively.

He had to say that compared to his miserable appearance just now, the man in black robe could definitely be called handsome and impressive.

Compared with the angels in the temple, these black-robed men with two swords and guns, fighting in a casual and elegant manner are more like the protagonists in the game. With Lin Chi's image, they may only be the villain leader in the game - and they are the kind of people who were sent by the boss as cannon fodder by the final boss.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi sighed and waited for the man in black to answer. Ten seconds later, a male voice with its own subwoofer effect rang out from under the brim of the hat:

"Show your Angel Badge."

"Sorry, I forgot to bring it. Can I get an intern angel?" Lin Chi smiled.

Since he evolved on his own during the battle, he didn't have any archangel badges in his hands, only the intern angel badges.

Lin Chi knew very well that the man in black robe could not believe his words. As expected, the man in black robe shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

"I'm just an angel passing by, please give me your wish." Lin Chi pressed his right hand on the hilt of the Black Iron Sword and began to simulate the next possible battle scene in his mind.

Now, a battle should be inevitable.

This library is full of bookshelves, and it is not convenient to fight on the ground, but you can fly into the air and launch a dive attack on the black-robed man, which should be something that the black-robed man cannot do.

When encountering men in black robe in the city outside the temple, Lin Chi observed the fighting style of these people. They seemed to belong to the category of human elites and could not reach his current "angel" level.

It is conceivable that the man in black robe should have a second move, and may even enter the second form or something. But with his current combat power, it shouldn't take much time to deal with a man in black robe.

The two people in the library stared at each other silently, and the air seemed to have become heavier. Just as Lin Chi was about to take the initiative, the man in black robe suddenly spoke and broke the silence:

"Antony?"

"So are you?" Lin Chi asked immediately.

"I hid that note." The man in black robe walked up slowly, pointing at the notes still on the table: "There are only a few opponents who hold the keys to the secret door. Where did you get it?"

Facing this guy who was suspected to be an opponent, Lin Chi was very honest: "It was handed over to me by the blacksmith."

"Blacksmith? He's crazy." The man in black sighed: "It's so pitiful, he could have been the leader of his opponents."

"Yes, it took me a lot of effort to get the key." Lin Chi said vaguely, without directly telling the fact that he killed the blacksmith.

Although the opponent's performance seemed reliable, Lin Chi was not completely sure that this person was also a rebel. In order to guard against the sudden attack that the opponent might launch at any time, he was still in a state of being able to draw his sword in an instant.

"The angel who resisted..." The man in black robe suddenly laughed: "This is the first time he has met. Tell me, why do you want to resist the temple? If you stay in the temple, your treatment should be very good."

"I just don't like them." Lin Chi replied casually.

"Well, the temple is full of hypocritical evildoers. They say they are angels, but they do something more evil than demons."

The man in black robe stood in front of Lin Chi and whispered: "But if you want to join the opponent, it's best to be careful..."

"What's wrong?" Lin Chi asked.

"Ms. Smiling is searching for opponents, and many people have died at her hands. Never let her and her entourage see it." The man in black robe said softly.
