The Death List Novel - Chapter 102
Chapter 102 Vengeful Soul Ball
“Huala!” Xiaodao poked his head out of the water and looked back at the Illusory Demons that were fluttering about in the river. A smug smile appeared on his face.
“Doctor Qin, you’re right!” Xiaodao pinched the three Illusory Demon Pearls in his hand, and the instructions Qin Lun had given him just now floated in his mind.
Qin Lun didn’t give him two Illusory Demon Pearls in vain, and the doctor even gave him a mission. The mission required him to create a disturbance on West Causeway Island, and it was best to set fire to the city.
West Causeway Island is guarding the heart of Paris, but also independent, the island has many cultural masters living in secluded pure land. Rousseau, Zola, Hugo, Balzac, Maupassant, Monet, Gauguin, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and the rest of the giants left their old homes and memorials on West Causeway Island.
Most of these houses are made of masonry, but there are plenty of wooden furniture and furnishings inside. Although the outer walls of these buildings slowly spread from top to bottom and covered the flesh and blood of Illusory Demons, this transformation was not complete. At the very least, it did not involve the internal structure of the building.
Xiaodao was a gangster himself, so he was very familiar with causing trouble and setting fires. Doing such a thing was not difficult at all. The only thing to worry about was the path of retreat after being discovered by the Illusory Demon.
This was also the risk Qin Lun was talking about. The doctor had a guess, and that was that there were no aquatic illusions on the island. After Little Saber created a disturbance, as long as he jumped into the Seine, the Illusory Demon would temporarily be helpless against him.
Fortunately, Qin Lun’s judgment was correct. The Illusory Demons that entered Paris through the spatial and temporal nodes did not have any Aquatic Illusory Demons.
Whether it was light saber feet, light axe feet, three-eyed eyes, or Fuyue and Cherusom, none of them could swim. Most of the Illusory Demons had protective armor on their bodies. In addition, their bodies were sparse and dense, making them look like weights when they fell into the water. Even if they knew how to swim when they were alive, they had long forgotten all about their remaining intelligence.
Looking at the Illusory Demon Pearl in his hand, a complicated expression appeared on Xiaodao’s face. The most critical condition of the main mission one had been completed. Now, as long as he could safely survive the remaining six and a half days, he would be able to escape from the Illusory Demon World.
In fact, before he left, he had asked Qin Lun what to do next. The doctor did not perfunctory him. Instead, he seriously thought for a while and gave him two bright paths.
First, the doctor thought that since the current Illusory Demon was still incapable of fighting in the water, Xiaodao could swim along the Seine and out of Paris. As long as Xiaodao was out of Paris, there would be no difficulty in avoiding the rest of his stay.
In this era, the human force was still very powerful. The French military would never be completely defeated in just seven days and give up on recovering the capital Paris.
The main task of the rookie Samsara was to obtain three Illusory Demon Pearls. On the contrary, the seven-day stay could be taken advantage of. After all, as long as the rookies were able to obtain three Illusory Demon Pearls and demonstrate courage and wisdom that surpassed that of ordinary people, the trial mission would be considered to have achieved its goal.
The second path was riskier. Kieran let him enter the sewers of Paris through the Seine River and use the underground network of Greater Paris to launch guerrilla attacks. The target was the citizens of Paris who had turned into illusions.
However, Kieran believed that with the current situation in Paris, the Illusory Demons would only need two days to complete their complete occupation of the buildings on the ground in Paris. From the third day onwards, it will penetrate the sky, the Seine and underground networks.
The situation in the city would become more and more serious day by day. As for how far Xiaodao could endure and whether he could last for seven days, even he couldn’t predict.
Of course, if Xiaodao planned to do this, the harvest would be enormous. Perhaps he could complete the 1,000-point camp reputation of Main Mission 2 and exchange it for quite a few good items.
Originally, Xiaodao would not consider the second option. After all, he had already obtained three Illusory Demon Pearls. He intended to be the safest and escape from Paris. However, in the battle just now, he discovered that setting fire to those semi-illusory demonic buildings had actually gained the reputation of one of the ghost races’ factions by more than two hundred points.
Looking at the three Illusory Demon Pearls in his hand, Xiaodao’s gaze flickered slightly as he hesitated in his heart. After a while, he finally took a deep breath and dived into the water again, swimming towards a drainage pipe on the bank of the Seine River …
…
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is a typical Gothic church with a unique style and strict structure. It looks very majestic and dignified.
The whole body is longitudinally divided into three parts by the wall column; Three decorative ribbons divide it horizontally into three parts, with three concave openings on the front. Above the door was the so-called “King’s Corridor”, with 28 sculptures representing successive kings of Israel and the Jewish State.
Above the “King’s Corridor” is the central section, with two enormous stone pillar bell towers on both sides. In the middle is a large, rose-shaped round window with a diameter of 10 metres. In the center is the Virgin and the Infant, and on both sides are statues of Adam and Eve.
The interior of the church was very simple, with a backrest bench for Catholic worship at the center and two large stone columns separating the sides of the bench. There are many sculptures and paintings on altars, corridors, doors and windows, and there are many medieval works of art in the concaves on both sides of the corridors.
The lobby of Notre Dame can accommodate 9,000 people, 1,500 of whom can sit on the podium. Gothic architectural interior unique arched ceiling has a good sound amplification effect, whenever the large organ in the hall accompanying the hymn, always give a special sacred beauty.
Qin Lun didn’t have time to savor the elegance and sacredness of Notre Dame. As soon as he entered the gate, his attention was completely attracted by the vortex of space and time at the altar.
The doctor quickened his pace and walked through the middle aisle of the two rows of benches, arriving in front of the altar to examine it carefully. The original altar had disappeared and was replaced by a dark green space-time vortex door that was on the same level as the ground.
This spacetime vortex was very similar to the spacetime node of the Arc of Triumph that Qin Lun had seen before, but its diameter was countless times smaller.
Qin Lun flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized space-time energy collector from his storage space, throwing it into this space-time vortex. A brick-like spacetime energy collector ejected eight metal strips from both sides and floated in the center of the spacetime vortex like an octopus.
However, only five seconds later, Qin Lun frowned and forcefully pulled the Time and Space Energy Tool off the vortex. His expression was a little ugly.
The spacetime node in Notre Dame is five meters long and seven meters wide. The progress bar on the spacetime energy device showed that it would take at least ten minutes to absorb all of its spacetime energy and condense it into a core of spacetime. Moreover, he couldn’t be interrupted halfway through the journey. After interrupting, he had to start gathering time and space energy again.
Although Qin Lun didn’t know if the spacetime whirlpool’s movements would be detected by the Illusory Demon, he knew that there was no way he wouldn’t be undisturbed for ten minutes. Looking at the huge temptation in front of him, the doctor could only sigh helplessly.
Qin Lun’s eyes flickered as he sneered with a hint of Mo Ming. Previously, he had given Xiaodao two choices, but he didn’t expect that in less than half an hour, it would be his turn to make a choice.
Hill’s judgment of him was correct. Qin Lun did not care about Xiaodao’s life or death. He just wanted to see Xiaodao struggle in a dilemma. He had never possessed the human nature that an ordinary person should have. Just like a wolf child raised by a wild wolf, without the integration of human society, humans were no different from wild beasts.
Although Qin Lun read extensively in Handan Prison, the prisoner’s lonely life and split personality had long distorted the young man’s mental world, making it impossible for him to become a normal person. Moreover, as early as eight years old, Little Qin Lun or Little Joey had already made up their minds to embark on this destined path of destiny.
After so many years, Qin Lun had always kept two secrets. One of them was that Qin Lun didn’t have any memories of that incident. He simply couldn’t tell if he was Qin Lun or Joey before he was eight years old. In other words, even now, he didn’t know which of Qin Lun’s and Joey’s personalities was the real him.
Retreat or advance …
If you can’t end up personally, how can you experience the fun of the game?
Qin Lun chuckled and walked towards the vortex of time and space. However, just as he took a step forward, the corner of the doctor’s eye was flashed by the altar.
“Eh!” Qin Lun circled around the time and space node and walked towards a statue on the left side of the altar.
An angel statue was enshrined on the small stone altar. The angel clasped his fists and knelt on one knee. The wings behind him crisscrossed his chest, as if praying to God. The flash in Qin Lun’s eyes earlier seemed to have come from her.
However, as he approached, the flash of light disappeared again. Qin Lun frowned slightly and re-examined the statue. Finally, he found a ball of light emitting a faint red light in her closed palm.
“What is this?” Qin Lun curiously stretched out his finger, wanting to pull the ball of light out of the angel’s palm.
The moment he touched the ball of light, the doctor couldn’t help but shiver. He only felt an icy chill seep into his body from the tip of his finger, as if even his body was frozen stiff by this chill.
Kieran’s death list immediately displayed a notification about the bloody ball of light.
Soulball of resentment: This is the soul power left behind by humans after the Illusory Demon Slaughter. This soul power belonged to Catholics. After death, it instinctively gathered around the angel statue. The entire resentful soul ball had 74 soul remnants.
74 Soul Forsaken? Qin Lun was shocked. Not every human died without a soul. These 74 souls should belong to those Catholics with strong beliefs. The actual number of people slaughtered was probably more than ten times.
What a pity! Qin Lun put away the resentment soul ball and looked at the other statues in the hall with a trace of regret. The Illusory Demon could return here at any time, so he didn’t have time to search for them one by one.
Perhaps after the mission of the Core of Space and Time is completed, I can come back and take a look! Qin Lun decided in his heart, then resolutely turned around and walked towards the spatial vortex at the altar.
