Chapter 154 Ashes
Being polite and gentle is just Mephisto's disguise.
From the conversation with him just now, it is not difficult to find that Mephisto is a war madman and a fanatical lover of killing.
This is not surprising.
The Nightmare Mage has a long lifespan. During the thousands of years, he either kills gods or is killed by gods. Death is always with him.
The Nightmare Mage and the Twisted Angel who can survive to this day have not gone through tens of thousands of fights.
A kind-hearted, peace-loving person can become murderous after being exposed to so much blood and death.
Muchen sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, I have always stuck to my heart and did not become a murderous madman like Mephisto.
Killing and death are evil ways after all, love and hope are the future!"
So.
What to do with Lucia's body next?
Paul said that he would take Lucia back whether he lived or died.
The body is too big to move, so we should burn it to ashes and put it in an urn and take it back.
Just when Muchen was distressed because there was no fire oil to support combustion and it was difficult to burn the body into ashes.
Not far away, a blue light flashed. The teleportation array was activated.
Someone is here again, who is it?
Muchen looked back alertly and saw that it was Victor. This guy had finally arrived.
Near the single-player teleportation point, Victor was leaning down to examine the body of Tujia Wrongtongue.
Seeing Muchen, he asked, "Did you kill him?"
"yes."
"Good job."
Victor praised, and immediately saw the dead body of Lucia at Muchen's feet.
He said in a serious tone: "Did you kill her too?"
"Well....."
Muchen nodded.
He knew that Victor liked Lucia, and he wanted to say otherwise, but the wounds on Tujia's body were exactly the same as the wounds on Lucia's body. A slight comparison could tell.
Rather than lying and getting caught.
It's better to tell the truth.
Victor looked at Lucia's body sadly, and finally, helpless, turned into a sigh.
"Oh, good job."
He did not ask Muchen what was the reason for killing Lucia.
I'm afraid, he also knows in his heart that Lucia has been deeply bewitched by Tujia and is unable to extricate herself. There is no cure.
It was him, he had to kill him too.
Muchen also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Victor would not pursue the matter.
This guy was a nice guy and he didn't want to be his enemy.
"Hey, where is the angel's body on the throne? Why is it missing?"
Victor noticed that Mephisto's body disappeared and immediately asked Muchen.
Muchen shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have never seen the corpse of the angel you mentioned when I came to this ruins."
Mephisto's matter is too troublesome to explain.
Just say you don't know.
The angel corpse disappeared, and Victor looked solemn. He knew that Tujia's ultimate goal seemed to be to resurrect the angel corpse.
Today, Tujia Qiaotongue is dead.
The angel's body disappeared.
This made Victor wonder whether Tuga succeeded and whether the angel was really resurrected?
"By the way, do you have any kerosene on you?" Muchen asked.
"What do you want kerosene for?"
"Paul asked me to take Lucia's remains back..."
Victor glanced at Lucia who was still staring at the ground. After a long silence, he took out a palm-sized can of kerosene and handed it to Muchen.
Kerosene has a similar effect to gasoline in the real world. It has a first-class combustion-supporting effect. It is the main material for making torches and incendiary bombs.
He poured some kerosene on Lucia's body.
Then he lit it with a torch, and the body suddenly burst into flames. In an instant, Lucia's body was burned to ashes.
Muchen looked at his backpack and saw that there was no suitable container for ashes.
He turned his attention to Victor next to him for help.
Victor had no choice but to take out a box from the storage space, take out the contents, and then handed the empty box to Muchen.
I picked up some ashes in a box.
A system prompt rang in Muchen's ears, telling him that the mission was completed. Please return to Blazing City to find Paul and receive the mission reward.
This matter is finally over.
Not only did the task be successfully completed, but there was also an unexpected gain.
Although Mephisto is poor, he is powerful and a good backer.
If you encounter troublesome enemies that you cannot solve in the future, you can ask Mephisto to solve them.
He enjoys killing and war.
Such a thing as destroying the enemy.
Presumably he will not refuse.
Muchen said to Victor: "What should we do with Tujia Qiaoyu's body? Burn it too?"
Victor nodded, "Burn it."
Muchen conveniently burned Tujia's body.
He looked at the fire burning on Tujia's body, turned to look at Victor beside him and said, "Do you know how Tujia discovered this ruins?"
Victor said: "This ruins was not discovered by Tujia, but by my teacher.
He thought this place was just an ordinary ruins, and originally wanted to ask Master Pear to come over and investigate. Because Master Pear was busy and had no time to come, he asked Tujia to come over.
Tujia is well-read and his understanding of ancient ruins is second only to Master Pearl in the Thieves Guild.
But since Tujia came to this ruins, many strange things have happened in the Thieves Guild. First, the teacher disappeared, and then many people disappeared one after another.
At that time, I suspected that there was something wrong with Tujia. Ever since he entered this ruins, strange things happened one after another.
But I never found definite evidence, so I didn’t kill him.”
Muchen asked curiously: "Is he very strong? Why didn't you kill him just now and let him escape here?"
Victor explained: "He is not strong, but the item he possesses is very weird, it can bend the rules, and it is extremely difficult to deal with.
After you killed Tujia, did you find the prop on his body? It was a book-like prop."
"No."
Muchen said.
Victor said solemnly: "Okay, but I have to remind you that the tragedies and troubles that have occurred in Night Town in the past three years are all in that black book."
"I see."
Muchen said indifferently.
The "Code of Nightmares" was taken away by Mephisto. Even if he left it behind and Muchen got it, he wouldn't be afraid.
The source of trouble is the human heart, not some tool.
The matter has come to an end.
Muchen was about to leave, but Victor continued to stay. It seemed that he wanted to investigate the mystery of the disappearance of the angel's body.
Through the single-player teleportation point, Muchen returned to the Thieves Guild President's Room.
I found that the place was in a mess, with signs of fighting everywhere.
After going out, in Night Town, although it did not cause much damage or harm, there were hurried and panic-looking thieves everywhere in Night Town, running around like headless flies.
The streets were filled with roars, curses, shouts, wailing and other sounds.
Muchen activated the Void Escape Technique, then teleported all the way back to the tavern.
Now the tavern is overcrowded and full of people.
Everyone is on edge.
Muchen found Marshall in the corner who was drinking and walked forward.
Seeing Muchen, Marshall looked curious: "Brother, I haven't seen you for two days, where have you been?"
