The Death List Novel - Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Answer To The Riddle
“If he doesn’t come in, he won’t be killed. We’re trapped here!” Sass said with a serious face.

“No, we’re not trapped. Let’s go and take a look at the spacetime node.” Qin Lun said with a smile.

“So what if I go? I still need to pass through the spatial node” Kora paused halfway through her words and lowered her head in frustration.

‘”Listen, we don’t want to kill each other. Shall we go outside and kill that guardian together to see if we can break the spell of the spacetime node? Should we think of other ways? What do you think?” Sass looked at the crowd vigilantly, his eyes full of vigilance.

“Relax, Sass!” Qin Lun smiled and waved his hand. “Hill was the first to find the spacetime node, but we still haven’t attacked you and your wife before, have we? Trust me, everyone, let’s take a look at the spacetime node first!”

“Alright then!” Sass and Cora looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. The Nars World had to deduct 100 Longevity Soul Points to kill its fellow guild members. Since Qin Lun and the others hadn’t used the Guardians to assassinate them before, they shouldn’t make a move now.

The underwater passageway wasn’t very long, and everyone quickly arrived in front of the spacetime node. This spacetime node was like a giant underwater whirlpool. The water current slowly rotated like a millstone. However, the surface was covered with a layer of mysterious multicolored light, as if it was a silk veil.

When everyone entered within three meters of the spatial node, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded in their minds.

[Crystal Lake Teleportation Point has sensed a visitor from the Watch World. The identity of the intelligent race has been confirmed. All six members meet the Teleportation Standard. The Sealing Array will automatically close. Please pass through the Teleportation Point quickly. In five minutes, the Sealing Array will be activated again and will no longer be able to enter the Inner World!]

“What’s going on?” Sass was stunned and stunned as he looked at Cora.

“The completion rate of the Guidance Mission has reached 50%, and … the sacrifice requirements have been met!” Hill swept his gaze through the Apostle Soul Seal and took a deep look at Qin Lun. “What an unexpected change … You’re right!”

Qin Lun smiled faintly and waved his hand at everyone. “I just happened to guess correctly …” “You guys go in first, I’ll be right over!”

With that, Qin Lun awkwardly swam back towards the exit of the underwater tunnel.

“Wuwu ~ ~” Seeing Qin Lun’s movements, Michelle’s eyes widened in shock. She was not an apostle and could not speak on the guild channel. As soon as she spoke, a string of bubbles appeared in her mouth. The centaur girl was about to turn around and chase after her when Hansen grabbed her and shook her head.

“Let me go first!” After relieving himself of the trouble of killing each other, Sass’s spirits surged. He immediately displayed the attitude that MT should have. He was the first to swim towards the vortex of water flowing towards the teleportation point.

The vortex-shaped teleportation point quickly swept him away. However, only a dozen seconds later, Sass leaned out of the vortex and waved to the crowd, indicating that there was no danger at the other end of the teleportation point.

Everyone swam past the vortex of water at the teleportation point one after another. Only the centaur girl and Hansen remained where they were, waiting for Qin Lun to return.

…

“Huala!” A few minutes later, Qin Lun and the others’ heads popped out of the water.

“Cough cough!” Michelle’s face was a little pale and she was breathing heavily. Fortunately, the Centaur’s vital capacity was much greater than that of ordinary humans. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to stay underwater for such a long time. She did not have a body of Laws.

“Sir Qin Lun, this way, this way!” Cora waved her hand at the three of them from the shore. She was so excited that she forgot about Qin Lun’s plot identity and called out his real name.

Qin Lun shook his head helplessly and turned around to observe his surroundings. This end of the teleportation point was also a lake, but its area was much smaller than the harbor of the Crystal Lake campsite.

The lake was surrounded by a circle of grass. There was a small forest in the south that could be seen through with a single glance. To the east was a small hillside with lush grass everywhere, dotted with brightly colored wildflowers.

Hansen took the lead in swimming towards the shore, with Kieran and Michelle following him slowly. Qin Lun could not swim, and the centaur girl was carrying another huge “human” on her horse.

“You brought the Guardian over here. What if he wakes up … Aiyo!” When Sass saw what was on Michelle’s back, his eyes widened in shock. However, before he could finish speaking, he was kicked by Cora and immediately stood to the side in embarrassment, not daring to express his opinion.

“Qin Lun, how did you know that once the seal was broken, the guardian would lose his strength? And the sacrifice request …” Cora sneered at her husband and smiled happily on the guild channel.

“The mission target of the Broken Universe actually has fake conditions!” Hill shook his head with a bitter smile. “Qin Lun, won’t you explain it to us?”

“I also want to know!” Hansen wiped the droplets of water off his face and indifferently interrupted.

“If you examine this guardian, you may know!” Qin Lun smiled and pointed at the’corpse ‘beneath his feet.

“He … is an apostle!” Sass squatted down and was stunned the moment he touched the guardian’s corpse. The result of the inspection was even more shocking than the fact that he had somehow fulfilled the sacrifice request in the mission objective.

“Apostle?” Hill raised his eyebrows and immediately bent down to examine it. He rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. Compared to Sass, the old fox could vaguely sense the true answer to the mystery of the Crystal Lake.

“Yes, the guardian is an apostle, or a former apostle who has lost his soul.” Qin Lun slowly explained on the guild channel, “Don’t you find it strange that when the Guardian is fighting against us, he behaves as a physical entity. But when he uses the fog to repair his body, he behaves as if he is a supernatural law …”

“Law Body!” Hansen’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

“En!” Qin Lun nodded. “After finding the spacetime node from Hill and learning about the sacrifice requirement in the mission objective, I’ve been thinking about why the Broken Star System gave us such a highly targeted killing requirement in our first mission …”

“It’s testing us!” Cora sighed and continued softly, “Or rather, test whether we can be as united as a real team!”

Hill’s expression turned ugly when he heard Cora’s words, which was equivalent to giving him a heavy slap in the face. This had nothing to do with IQ. The mission given by the Broken Star System was a test for ordinary guilds, but it was more like a nightmare for murderers.

If it weren’t for the fact that Qin Lun was a special murderer, it would have been very difficult for him and Hansen to cross this psychological threshold.

“The sacrifice request in the guidance mission is not a fake condition. It is a smoke bomb. This sacrifice request does not belong to the Shattered Universe, but to a sealing array from the teleportation point.” Qin Lun smiled and said, “It requires us to sacrifice 40% of our companions. It may seem like we need to kill each other, but in reality, this sacrifice request was already fulfilled before it could be fulfilled.”

‘”Could it be this guardian” Hansen crossed his arms thoughtfully.

“This guardian should be an apostle who entered the Crystal Lake in the past, and his companions are probably dead. Although we belong to different guilds, the sealing formation at the teleportation point treats all the apostles as one person, so their deaths have long since provided us with sufficient sacrificial conditions.”

Qin Lun sighed. “The power of magic in the Nars world is very powerful. This apostle’s soul has long since been extinguished, but he was automatically captured by a magician or a seal on the teleportation array, turning him into a guardian of the teleportation point!”

“No wonder I feel rich magical elements here!” Cora closed her eyes and spread out her hands to carefully feel, “This inner world of Nars should be the real Middle Demon World, right?”

“So Michelle was able to pass through the teleportation point because of her father …” Sass frowned and looked at the centaur girl beside her.

“Mm, it’s possible that this Guardian’s apostle team was hunting down something in the series of tragedies in the Crystal Lake back then. Perhaps it was the mages guarding the teleportation points of the Crystal Lake.” Qin Lun rubbed his chin and nodded.

“In the end, they were all killed, and the mages might have suffered heavy injuries as a result. As a result, they were helpless and turned this apostle into a guardian to guard the teleportation formation instead of him. The centaur policemen who died in the investigation were probably the masterpieces of the guardians!” Qin Lun spread out his hands and shrugged, “This will explain why Michelle was able to enter this teleportation point.”

“Why are you all looking at me?” Michelle couldn’t hear what everyone was talking about on the guild channel. She looked at everyone nervously and whispered, “Officer Castro, you shouldn’t be Marseille detectives, right?”

“Michelle, don’t be afraid. We won’t hurt you!” Cora grabbed Michelle’s arm and comforted her softly, “You can think of us as a group of superpowers, and this is … the gathering place of superpowers all over the world. We came to the Crystal Lake camping area to pass through the teleportation array just now.”

“Then can I go back?” Michelle asked with a sad face, “If mother finds out that something happened to me, she will be worried to death!”

“Probably … okay!” Cora said uncertainly, “Judging from the federal ban and Marloff’s reaction, they should have a connection to the inner world, at least they can pass on the news of your safety to your mother!”

“Oh!” Michelle heaved a sigh of relief and slowly calmed down.

As the crowd gradually sorted out the entire incident, their Apostle Soul Seal also gave a timely notification of the shattering of the starry sky …
