Chapter 179

The voice of Shao's "medicine" was low, slightly trembling, and it reached his ears clearly.

Wen Jianyan suddenly froze.

Was the coffin still closed before Shao Yao left?

That is, during the time she was away, the cover of the sarcophagus was pushed open, by whom? The corpse inside?

All the guesses popped up in his mind, leaning in a gradually dangerous direction.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, her eyes fell on the open sarcophagus in the distance, and she whispered:

"I went to see."

"Wait...what?" Shao Yao was startled and seemed to want to say something, but Wen Jianyan shook her head and stopped her:

"Just wait here."

Wen Jianyan's mind is clear, he will not do stupid things that are tantamount to killing.

First of all, they have been in for a while, but there is no sign of being attacked. Second, the Luce team can do two missions near the sarcophagus without incident. Moreover, if they want to complete the task, they must approach the sarcophagus no matter what. Yes, then, even if the things in the sarcophagus are dangerous, they will not be so dangerous that they will be instantly killed if they are seen.

However, just in case, he still turned his head and instructed Su Cheng and Huang "Mao" a few words, and then started to walk towards the coffin.

The entire underground tomb "cave" was shrouded in a dark shadow. The heavy shadows swayed in the weak light and floated on the icy sarcophagus. In the dead silence, only the lonely footsteps of young people could be heard. go to the desk.

Quick, Wen Jianyan is only a few steps away from the open sarcophagus, as if you can see the stone texture and floating dust on it.

He took a deep breath, carefully and slowly walked up the steps, then probed into the sarcophagus—

Behind them, Su Cheng's hearts were raised tightly, and he asked in a low voice:

"How about it?"

"..." Wen Jianyan stood up straight, turned her head and shook her head at the crowd: "empty."

He leaned over, reached out to the lid of the sarcophagus, and picked up something: "Only one."

Several people were stunned and stepped forward one after another.

What Wen Jianyan held in his hand was a small black book the size of a palm, and the cover of the book was stamped with gilded words.

【bible】

"Wait, could it be..." Shao Yao was stunned, her eyes widening slightly.

Wen Jianyan nodded: "It's an ordinary hidden item."

The moment his fingers touched the prop, a familiar system sound rang in his ears, confirming his guess.

At that time, in the dean's room, they found two ordinary-level hidden props. Luce and Wen Jianyan each took one, and the one in his hand was the one that was taken away by Luce.

After getting the affirmative answer, Shao Yao's face paled even more.

Generally speaking, after the anchors die, the hidden props they carry will fall off. After seeing the Bible in Wen Jianyan's hand, she realizes that her teammates are probably already in trouble.

The other two looked inside the sarcophagus.

Sure enough, Wen Jianyan didn't lie, except for the bible that he had taken away, there was nothing in the heavy sarcophagus, none of the terrifying pictures they imagined appeared, only a small cold and empty space.

Su Cheng and Huang "Mao", who had just been extremely nervous, could not help but let out a short breath.

Looking at the props in his palm, Wen Jianyan's expression did not relax at all.

If something really attacked him just now, no matter if it was a carrion or a living corpse, the threat would not be too great when all of them were on guard.

But... the empty coffin is different.

Wen Jianyan raised her eyes and looked around in the "cave" of the huge underground tomb.

Empty "dang", "dang", cold and dead, each sarcophagus stayed quietly in its place, with no place to hide.

He frowned slightly and looked up at the task bar next to him.

After signing the subordinate contract with Shao "Medicine", the activated epic-level item tasks and the task process have all been shared with him logically. You can see on the floating task panel that each task has been completed. 2 /3, only the last step is left, you can get the final task reward.

That is, next, they must complete the last sacrament in it.

Completing the task is decidedly dangerous, if something goes wrong in the middle...

Wen Jianyan narrowed her eyes, her expression solemn.

"What about us?" Su Cheng looked at Wen Jianyan and asked.

Wen Jianyan retracted her gaze and took a deep breath:

"Quick fight."

Although an empty coffin is an unresolved hidden danger, there is not much time left for them, and even if it is a risk, they have to take it hard.

Among the seven sacraments, Luce's team has completed two, and they chose repentance in the last, but almost all of them were involved in it.

Wen Jianyan turned to look at the confession room next to her.

The confessional room is not big, it is a dark wooden structure, it looks like a period of time, exudes a long-standing bloody, dark green "color" heavy curtains hang down, completely covering the windows on both sides, leaving no gaps. The small room of the sinner's confession had its door half-open, but the door of the priest's room was closed.

Shao Yao noticed Wen Jianyan's gaze, and she said, "That room can't be opened, we tried it."

On the floating task bar, write the way to complete the project: the only thing the anchor needs to do is to walk into the confession room and sincerely confess the sins he has committed to the priest.

All eyes were on the closed room.

That is to say... in a small space of dead silence and no voice, is a priest who is either a human or a ghost sitting really listening to sinners?

The thought made everyone shudder.

The point is, since Wen Jianyan has inherited the progress of the tasks from Luce and the others, his task bar is only regarded as the "operation" requirement of a project.

However, the seven sacraments are not imitations and reproductions of reality, and each project has its own "operational requirements". That is to say, the anchor cannot skip the system prompts and directly rely on the process of the sacraments in the real world. understand and complete another task directly.

Moreover, according to Shao "Yao", their mission was taken in front of the sarcophagus. Now, the lid of the sarcophagus is opened, and the "existence" inside is gone, even if Wen Jianyan wants to give up the progress and start again , it may not be possible - giving up the current progress may be equivalent to directly abolishing the only way to obtain epic items.

The only way before him is to complete "repentance".

Wen Jianyan turned to look at Shao's "medicine": "What happened after my teammates entered the confessional room, tell me exactly what happened, don't miss any details."

Shao "Medicine" nodded and began to tell the story carefully and carefully.

After selecting the item "Confession", the way to complete the task will appear on the task bar. Since there is no prompt, the first of them can only smear the two eyes and walk into it. .

What followed was a long and agonizing wait.

Minutes later, the tightly closed door of the confessional room suddenly seemed to have lost its restraint, and slowly slid open again, "exposing" the narrow gap of the exit.

Luce found that something was wrong, and immediately activated the prop to try to pull the person out, but the prop failed, and the door of the confessional was dead silent.

The confessional room was empty.

The first person failed. Luce couldn't contact his teammates, and he didn't know the reason for the opponent's failure. The clues he could capture outside the confessional room were pitiful, but he still made relevant inferences as much as possible, and activated the approximate possibility based on this. The life-saving props that can be used can almost be said to be fully prepared.

But, minutes later, the confessional door slid open.

It's empty inside.

The narrow wooden space was closed and dark, but it seemed to hide an invisible mouth, swallowing the figures of two people one after another, and then slowly opened it again, waiting for a victim to enter.

Shao "medicine" was afraid.

She knew that there was some kind of terrifying power hidden in the confession room, and if she entered it, it would never be possible for her to survive, so... she fled without hope.

Speaking of which, the expression on Shao Yao's face darkened, and she bit her lips consciously, her expression both ashamed and sad.

However, no one has the right to rebuke her cowardice.

However, the confessional room that can only swallow two senior anchors one after another, especially the second one, Luce, had already done everything he could before entering, even Wen Jianyan himself might not be able to do it. To the better, but still disappeared silently inside.

In such a situation, rushing in is tantamount to dying.

And the "medicine" of the peony actually came back bravely, and it was already separated.

According to the clues provided by Shao "Yao", Wen Jianyan fell into contemplation.

There is not much information in the taskbar about how the sacrament of Penance should be done.

All he can do now is to get in touch with reality.

In the sacrament of penance in the real world, believers must confess their sins to the clergy, express their remorse and determination to change, and finally be forgiven by the clergy.

That is, repentance, confession, and forgiveness of sins.

The first few people may have failed because they were not forgiven in the end.

If Wen Jianyan was asked to design the pass, he would let the sinner re-experience his own sins in the confession room, and be tested to see if he had concealed his crime, whether he had sincerely repented, or... For redemption?

"..."

Wen Jianyan lowered her eyes in silence, her long eyelashes blocking the look at the bottom of her eyes.

The entire tomb "cave" was shrouded in death-like silence.

The rest of the people watched him with bated breath, waiting for the other party to finish thinking.

After a long time, Wen Jianyan raised her eyes, as if she had finally made a decision.

"I'll go in when I pick you up," he said slowly.

Although he had guessed Wen Jianyan's answer, Su Cheng couldn't help but suffocate. He suggested uncomfortably, "Then, do I need any props..."

"No." Wen Jianyan shook her head and said, "We don't need to do anything."

Luce's preparations were sufficient, but it still didn't change the result.

In a sense, it is also a reminder - the use of props to take shortcuts and stay behind will not work. If you want to leave the confession room alive, you must return to the task itself, that is to say, the focus is on the completion of the ritual, not "success" get away".

"According to the information provided by Shao's Medicine, we will see you in a few minutes."

Wen Jianyan said calmly, "If I didn't come out, there's no need for us to go in."

"The goal is to accumulate points for completing the task, try to accumulate enough points for completing the task before the next bell, and leave the dungeon."

"..."

Su Cheng opened his mouth dumbly, but in the end he swallowed the rest of the words.

After a few seconds of silence, he nodded: "I understand."

After explaining the cut, Wen Jianyan took a step and walked towards the dark wooden confession room in front of him. The dark wood seemed to glow red in the dim light, emitting a strong, blood-like breath, a dark green color. The curtains hung down, blocking the windows on both sides, making it impossible to see what was inside.

He raised his hand and opened the wooden door.

The wooden door creaked and easily opened in front of him, 'revealing' the small, narrow, enclosed space inside.

The simple wooden chair, although it can completely cover the faces of both sides, it allows the sound to penetrate through the small wooden window.

It's almost the same as the real world.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath.

He went in and came to sit on a chair.

The door of the confession room moved and closed behind it, blocking all the light behind it, and finally made a soft "bang" sound, and locked it tightly without leaving any gaps.

In the dim situation where it was almost impossible to see anything, Wen Jianyan slowly put his forehead on his crossed fingers, a standard, believer's posture, leaning in front of the baffle in the dark.

"Father, I am guilty."

The youth's voice was calm and clear.

There was dead silence within the partition.

"God said that the devil is the father of lies, and I must have turned away from the gods long ago,"

Even the talents derived from the quality of the soul represent the vicious fruit of lies.

He closed his eyes, his silver-white eyelashes drooped in the darkness, his thin eyelids were trembling eyeballs, and he calmly said an almost arrogant conclusion:

"However, I am not prepared to repent."

[Six things that the LORD hates, seven things that he hates in his heart. The proud eyes, the lying tongue, and the hands that shed innocent blood. A heart that plots evil, feet that run away to do evil, a false witness who speaks lies, a man who sows discord among brethren] 1

Arrogance, lies, killing.

Wen Jian said his sin was unforgivable.

"What I repent to you is not the sin of lying, but the sin of murder."

The young man leaned into the darkness and spoke in a calm, rational voice that almost renounced all emotion.

"It's my only, confessed crime."

"..."

There was silence in the ears.

Wen Jianyan maintained an almost devout posture, quietly waiting for what might happen - would he be judged to fail and be thrown into that bloody space like the other two? Or will he be tested and let him relive his sins, or will he excavate long-buried memories and let him pay the price for his actions?

Or……

Will the gods speak and forgive his sins?

The last possibility of "sex" made Wen Jianyan feel a little ridiculous without realizing it.

He never believed in God.

Even if it is an evil god who is indifferent to human beings, and even takes pleasure in suffering, he is even more willing to get along with evil false gods like Wu Zhu, and he is not willing to believe in the savior who saves the suffering and saves the suffering that is repeatedly praised in every religion.

Not even in the real world, let alone in the dungeon world full of killing and madness.

Suddenly, without warning, a familiar system sound rang in my ears.

【Ding! Detected the existence of key props]

"...?" Wen Jianyan was stunned.

key tool?

Before he could think about it, he just listened to the system voice and continued:

[Congratulations to the anchor for triggering a special scene: Playing Game]

【Progress: 0】

Seconds, he saw two health bars appear above his head, health and sanity.

[If the health value returns to zero, the anchor dies and the live broadcast ends. If the sanity value returns to zero, the anchor will become part of the copy and the live broadcast ends]

Wait... pretending to be a game?

What model is it? He has also experienced chase battles and hide-and-seek before, and the second trigger scene is something he has never experienced before...

Moreover, the 'special' scene, that is to say, the other two probably have not experienced it?

Wen Jianyan was stunned for a while, then raised her head involuntarily.

He was still sitting in the small confessional room, which was tightly sealed all around, and no light could penetrate, but the strange thing was... it seemed that something had changed.

Wen Jianyan seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked down at himself.

"!"

Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be startled.

The clothes he was wearing became the priest's clothes at some point. The dark fabric tightly wrapped every inch of the skin on his body, not revealing the slightest bit. The priest was wearing a white "color" around his neck. The stiff collar, which looks straight and ascetic, is full of holy connotations.

The dangling frame on his chest swayed slightly with his movements.

Yes……? !

Wen Jianyan seemed to realize something suddenly.

He raised his hand to "touch" his pocket.

The fingertips touched the hard, thick little book.

It is that Bible.

Could it be that the [existence of key props detected] refers to two props?

This Bible and a character stand, that is to say, only when the anchor has two props at the same time, will they be pulled into a special scene?

If that's the case, then it's no wonder that the other two didn't trigger. After all, the two props were kept separately by the two teams in the dean's room. If it wasn't for Luce's disappearance now, his life and death were unknown, causing a prop from him. Wen Jianyan picked it up after falling, and he couldn't gather the two props.

This condition is so harsh, no wonder it is called a "special scene".

Wen Jianyan knew clearly that if he looked at it in his current form, he might have entered a completely different path from the other two, and the test awaiting him would be completely changed, and even completely exceeded his previous expectations.

While Wen Jianyan was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the confessional room.

"Duh duh."

"...!"

Wen Jianyan was terribly startled, she raised her head suddenly, her body was slightly tense, she looked in the direction from which the voice came, and waited vigilantly.

A muffled, dry voice came from outside the door:

"Father, are you there? The dean needs you."

"The exorcism ceremony is about to begin."

"..." Wen Jianyan calmed down and said tentatively, "I understand, I'll come."

At the moment when his voice fell, the progress bar of [0] above his head jumped and came to [5].

Wen Jianyan narrowed her eyes.

What was it like to play...

understood.
