    Chapter 178

    The church, the silence hangs over.

    Wen Jianyan lowered her eyes, as if asking for something.

    Shao "Yao" held her breath slightly, waiting anxiously for the other party's decision.

    After a few minutes, the other party raised his eyes and nodded:

    "I understand."

    "Then...you agree?"

    Shao "Yao" looked nervous, and there was a glimmer of hope in the bottom of her eyes.

    Unexpectedly, Wen Jianyan shook his head: "Not quite."

    The rest of the people were startled.

    "First of all, there is one thing you need to know. Before I met you, I already knew that there was only one person left in your team."

    Wen Jianyan simply described what he had just seen in the church - inside the open door, there was an empty chapel, and two dark silhouettes with their backs to the door motionless.

    The young man lowered his eyes, his expression was still gentle, and he said a cruel truth in a calm tone.

    "According to my experience, the chances of your teammates surviving are extremely low."

    "What...?" Shao "Yao" looked stunned, and seemed to be unable to react. "Yes, they just disappeared..."

    "That's right, but it was lost in the space of another concept."

    Wen Jian said calmly.

    Although it can be "seen" after the bell rings, but whether it is possible to enter, is there any danger after entering, and what will happen if I leave in time before the next bell rings... No one knows the answer.

    "If you want to save people, it's different from risking my life and my friend's life."

    Shao Yao's face darkened little by little.

    Indeed, what the other party said was right.

    She knows that this difficulty is too great. Even if there are epic items as a trading condition, the probability of the other party agreeing is very low - they are not even teammates. After all, they also do not hesitate when the other party is unknown. Turned around and left, didn't you?

    But what didn't expect was that the young man's conversation suddenly changed:

    "So, the content needs to change to some extent if it's going to be traded."

    "?"

    Shao Yao was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes, almost unable to believe her ears.

    "First of all, you need to sign a subordinate contract with me, share tasks through the system, and ensure the ownership of the items after the task is over, and the authenticity of the information you shared earlier," Wen Jianyan's face had no superfluous expressions. , The voice is very light, but it somehow gives people a sense of oppression that the law ignores, "As a reward, after entering the church, I will help you rescue teammates within the scope of my ability."

    "However, once I realize that your teammates are too difficult to rescue, and even can take my team's life, I will change my strategy and only give you a certain amount of points to help - 30 points in my account. % is the upper limit."

    This is a very harsh condition, almost completely cutting off the other party's ability to lie and go back, but the assistance given is very limited.

    The only good thing is-

    Under the guarantee of the system, people break the contract.

    [Integrity First] Live Room:

    "Mom, this condition has changed too much."

    "Yes, and it's completely tilted towards the anchor, which means that in the end, whether the anchor can save her teammates or not, she has to share the completely real clues and mission progress."

    "How can this couple agree?"

    "You know, I also directly agree to your deal, go to church with you, and after making sure all the information in your hands is squeezed out, you and your teammates can be left behind."

    Wen Jianyan paused and continued:

    "Of course, no one except you has ever entered the church, so you also gave false news, deliberately brought us into the trap to replace your teammates, or some kind of task that required human life to fill."

    His tone was such an understatement, but the situation he said was so cruel... What's more scary is that in the nightmare, the "sex" of these two situations is really too high. Even between teammates, not to mention that they have only temporarily formed a team once.

    The air was dead silent.

    Whether it was Su Chenghuang's "hair" or Shao's "medicine", his body tightened involuntarily.

    "It's a pity that we don't have much time, so we can't play these intriguing games. So I spread all the risks and the bottom line I can accept to tell you, if you agree, welcome to join, if you don't If you agree, we will also treat the information you gave earlier as half-truths."

    The white young man's expression was indifferent, with a pair of amber eyes drooping slightly, with a purely rational temperament, which seemed so alienated and indifferent.

    "Of course, for safety reasons, we don't welcome you next time."

    [Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

    "Absolutely. As expected of a liar who often tricks people, he must know too much about these routines. If it is not always targeted and backstabbed by the copy, it is really difficult to overturn."

    "...I take back what I said just now that I couldn't agree."

    "He really knows when it's most useful to tell the truth!"

    "That's right, after all the pros and cons and risks are clarified, this seemingly unreasonable plan has become the most reasonable plan. It's really awesome."

    "how?"

    Wen Jianyan asked patiently.

    "..."

    Shao "Medicine" stared at the young man in front of him in a daze.

    She clearly knows that this plan is the most beneficial to the other party. Even if she doesn't need to pay too much, she can get what she wants, but she herself is the limited party in the whole transaction, but...

    She can't deny that this kind of plan the other party is talking about can ensure his safety and the stability of cooperation to the greatest extent.

    Shao Yao took a deep breath, and seemed to have finally made up his mind, and nodded slowly:

    "Okay, I agree."

    Wen Jianyan lowered her eyelashes, and suddenly gave a short, indifferent and cruel, almost condescending look that was easily softened, like ice melting into spring water.

    He became gentle and affectionate again, approachable.

    He stretched out his hand towards the peony medicine:

    "Pleasant to work with."

    Under the leadership of Shao "Yao", the group moved forward again quickly.

    After going around the side of the chapel, a small stone arch leading to the bottom was in front of everyone's eyes. The bricks on the edge were a strange dark brown color, as if they had been soaked in blood for a long time. The wooden door Half-covered, a strong rancid and bloody smell escaped from it.

    A string of messy bloody footprints came through, which should have been left by the "medicine" just now.

    "After entering, there will be a lot of fresh corpses, which should have been transported by carts before."

    Shao "Medicine" turned her head and said to the crowd, her expression was solemn, "They will be awakened by light and the breath of living people, and after awakening, they will attack people differently. We were besieged before, and it was hard to kill a bloody road... With experience this time, we should be able to avoid conflicts with them."

    She instructed:

    "Prepare the protective shield before entering, activate it after entering, it can isolate a bit of the smell of living people, follow me after going down, and be careful with your feet."

    Several people nodded.

    After getting ready, Shao Yao took the lead and walked down.

    The wooden door, which was soaked in oil and lustrous with blood, creaked softly, and was slowly pushed open, and the crooked stone steps leading down to the darkness.

    Several people held their breath, put their footsteps lightly, and walked down carefully.

    A little bit of darkness covered his hood.

    Empty, deliberately suppressed footsteps echoed in the narrow stone steps, and the air became cloudy little by little, giving the illusion of suffocation.

    Wen Jianyan followed behind Shao "Yao" and walked to the depths of the stone steps step by step.

    The space gradually became wider.

    The rancid smell became more intense, as if it had a real substance, it completely enveloped people's nose and mouth, making people dizzy.

    After the previous experience, Shao "Yao" did not turn on any lighting equipment, but just leaned against the right side of the wall and walked forward slowly and cautiously.

    According to what she said, after entering here with her teammates last time, although they were attacked by living corpses unexpectedly, they managed to clear a road on the right in the midst of the "chaotic" resistance to prepare for evacuation. It is used at times, because with it, the "medicine" of the peony can escape from the church alone.

    There was silence in the ears.

    The light behind him had disappeared, leaving only a viscous, gelatinous darkness that almost made one wonder if he still had his eyes open.

    The touch underfoot was sticky and slippery, like a layer of blood that had not yet dried up.

    Although Fa sees it with his eyes, he can still draw it in his mind. In the huge space on the left, cold and pale corpses are piled up like mountains, and his gray and turbid eyes are looking at the dark sky. However, as long as the sound, Light, and breath, the hill with its pale limbs will move, and no living thing will leave this catacomb "cave".

    Under the depressing environment, the group of people "groped" and slowly moved forward, afraid of making any noise and disturbing the sleeping corpse.

    I don't know how long has passed.

    Shao's "medicine" pace slowed down, she reached back and tugged on Wen Jianyan's clothes, signaling that he would be there soon.

    Wen Jianyan understood, and passed the message to his companions in the same way.

    Soon, the uneven ground under the feet was the stone steps that continued to lead down.

    The group carefully descended the stone steps and walked into the distance step by step.

    After another walk.

    Suddenly, Shao Yao opened her mouth to look: "It's just ahead."

    Her voice broke the dead silence, foreshadowing that they had left the dangerous area full of corpses. Everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The rancid smell in the air seemed to be much lighter, but the sticky bloody smell still seemed to remain in the air. It is like in the nasal cavity, and it dissipates for a long time.

    "Are you all right?" Wen Jianyan turned her head.

    Su Chenghuang and "Mao" shook their heads: "It's okay."

    Soon, this narrow journey came to an end, and the space in front of me suddenly became wider.

    This is like a tomb "cave" buried deep in the ground. Although the volume is not too large, the depth is very deep. The four walls are densely packed with sarcophagi.

    Wen Jianyan looked around.

    The layout of Heji here is roughly similar to the chapel he has just seen. The rows of wooden chairs that should have been placed were replaced by rows of sarcophagi.

    The only thing that is incompatible with this catacomb "cave" is the confessional room on the side.

    The door of the confession room was closed, and the Fa Qingli could see the appearance of the inside.

    His gaze stretched forward and landed on the deepest pulpit.

    There is also an open sarcophagus there.

    The sleeves were pulled hard by the person beside him.

    "Hey."

    Wen Jianyan was startled and turned to look.

    Shao Yao stood rigidly in place, staring at the pulpit in the distance, her face pale, her voice was low, like a whisper: "This... Not on."
