The Death List Novel - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Stone Statue Ghost Core
“Father, you” cried the tall and handsome blonde youth, Bonnie, hesitantly behind him.

“Doctor Stan, sooner or later, he will come into contact with all of this if he can cure the disease!” Baron Albert beckoned to Bonny, “You too, you might need your strength!”

Bonny’s lips twitched twice, but in the end, he didn’t try to dissuade them anymore and silently followed behind the two of them.

Baron Albert brought Qin Lun and Bonny to the main hall of the castle. He pushed open a secret door behind the hall, revealing an underground passageway.

Qin Lun’s gaze flickered as he placed his right hand behind his back. Evil fell from his sleeve into his palm. Necessary precautions were needed before the baron’s intentions could be ascertained. The three of them walked along the corridor for a while before arriving at a spacious basement.

The basement was square, surrounded by bright corridor lights. There were some swords, chains, and hammers hanging on the wall, and in the middle was a half-human-tall stone platform. The statue ghost Qin Lun saw last night curled up and lay on it. To his surprise, this stone ghost had actually turned into a real stone, unlike last night, it was a creature that could move.

“Is this the little devil statue on the stone bridge?” Qin Lun asked with a frown.

“No, this is the real culprit who attacked your follower! It’s a magical creature called the Stone Statue Ghost!” The old baron’s eyes were burning as he stared at Qin Lun, wanting to see something from his face.

“Baron, I have to say, this joke of yours is not funny. There is no magic in the world, let alone any magical creatures!” Qin Lun said expressionlessly with a stern face.

“Haha, Doctor Stan, you are the most skilled doctor I have ever seen, but in terms of life experience, please believe me, this old man, this world is not as simple as you think!” Seeing Qin Lun’s reaction, the old baron shook his head with a smile.

“I heard that on the other side of the continent, someone has invented a huge jet iron carriage that can move without the help of horses and manpower. Perhaps with the development of so-called science and technology, some ancient historical truths will become more and more distant from us. “But now, some of the aristocratic families on the continent that have a long history are still keeping some secrets. The Albert family is one of them.”

“This … Stone Statue Ghost is really a magical creature? It’s not a wild beast, nor is it a stone statue?” Qin Lun was surprised as he touched the hardened bat wings of the statue ghost.

“If you still don’t believe me, I will prove all of this to you!” The old baron nodded to Bonny, who was standing quietly beside him.

Bonny grinned at Qin Lun, turned around and walked towards the corner, taking off a malevolent nail hammer.

“Please step aside, Dr. Stan!”

Qin Lun followed his instructions and took a few steps back. Bonny raised his hammer and smashed it towards the petrified Stone Statue Ghost. Immediately, crushed stones flew from the basement and the Stone Statue Ghost was slowly smashed into a pile of gravel.

“Doctor Stan, come and see!” After Bonny finished, the old baron took two steps forward and groped through the gravel. He found a small stone that emitted a red light and handed it to Qin Lun.

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat as he took the stone. The stone was shaped like a baby’s heart. It was red and translucent, as if it was wrapped in flowing lava. When placed in the palm of his hand, it felt warm and very comfortable.

[Apostle 70053, this is the first time you have come into contact with the Stone Statue Ghost Core. This item is a foreign magical item. It is classified as equipment materials and elemental energy. It satisfies Law of Fragmentation 320. Open the list of Law items for exchange!]

[Reminder: Apostle can view the list of Laws items through the Soul Mark. Apostle 70053, your Soul Mark has been linked to the special equipment ‘Death List’. You can check it directly in the ‘Death List’!]

Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. He was still unable to control the death list as he wished. Now was not the right time to check the exchange list. He temporarily put aside the contents of this prompt.

“Is this the heart of a statue ghost?” Qin Lun looked at the baron and his son curiously.

“This is called the Stone Statue Ghost Core. It is a magical item created by an adept. It is specifically used to drive the Stone Statue Ghost.” The baron and Bonny smiled and looked at each other. Bonny explained, “Doctor Stan, do you believe us now?”

“It’s really unbelievable. Such a small thing can turn a heavy stone statue into a living creature?” Qin Lun couldn’t help but flip through the stone statue’s Ghost Core. He raised his head and asked, “Can I keep it?”

“Of course, your followers killed this statue ghost, so it naturally belongs to you!” The old baron smiled and nodded. “Let’s go back upstairs. The basement isn’t a good place to talk. I believe you still have a lot of questions!”

“Baron, are you willing to tell me the historical truths of those distant times?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he asked cautiously.

‘”Dr. Stan, I shouldn’t have told you about this. The Albert family has guarded this land for hundreds of years, but we are helpless against the current epidemic in the Audi á region. You are the only doctor who can solve this problem, and we need your help!” Baron Albert said with a smile.

“Now it’s up to you. Are you willing to accept the guidance of the Albert family and become a member of the Exorcist camp? If you don’t want to see another dangerous world, we won’t tell you anything else. Please keep everything you know a secret. As for epidemics, we will try our best to repay you in the form of money! ”

“Please give me some time to think about it!” Qin Lun said hesitantly.

“As you wish!” Baron Albert and Bonny looked at each other and bowed slightly with a smile.

After the three of them returned upstairs, the old butler, Jason, found Qin Lun.

“Doctor Stan, your attendant is awake!”

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he followed the old butler to Frank’s room. Baron Albert and Bonny did not follow him. They knew that the master and servant might have something to talk about.

“Why did you stay outside for so long? Do you know that you lost a lot of blood? The situation just now was very dangerous!” After the old butler left, Qin Lun stared at the hunchbacked servant sternly.

“Young Master, I just want to be a little late, so that you can be less suspicious!” Frank muttered embarrassedly.

“Then you can’t joke about your own life. Don’t be so reckless in the future. You’re going to die. Where am I going to find another suitable follower?” Qin Lun said solemnly with a stern face.

“Understood, Young Master!” Frank grinned. “They didn’t suspect us, did they?”

“Probably not!” Qin Lun faintly smiled. “You almost died. They wouldn’t have guessed that you had been hiding outside for so long, so they naturally wouldn’t have thought that we were actually acting together!”

“By the way, Young Master, I’ll return this to you!” The hunchback servant took out a small cloth bag from his bosom and handed it to Qin Lun.

Qin Lun casually took it and opened the small cloth bag. He saw an old brass pocket watch wrapped in it.

“I used the money Young Master gave me to redeem it. The Stan family’s heirloom cannot be casually lost outside!” Frank opened his mouth and laughed happily.

Qin Lun looked at the old pocket watch in his hand. His eyes flickered slightly. He remembered the first time he saw a hunchbacked ugly man in the cemetery when he had just entered the world.

An ugly servant dressed in rags and seriously ill, who was desperately trying to give his deceased master a decent funeral, appeared in his mind again, slowly reuniting with the hunchbacked ugly man who had risked his life last night to fight against the stone statue ghost.

An unfamiliar feeling surged out of Qin Lun’s heart. The spring-bathed smile on his face slowly subsided, and a trace of emotionless indifference flashed across his face like a corpse. However, the true feelings of the murderer were replaced by a smile after only an instant.

He stood up, put his pocket watch into his coat pocket, and patted the hunchback servant with a smile.

“Have a good rest and recover as soon as possible!”

Walking out of Frank’s room, Qin Lun immediately returned to his own room and leaned back on his chair, closing his eyes and meditating. He first went through all of his actions and words from last night until now and found that there were indeed no big loopholes. He calmed down and summoned the death list.

Originally, there were only three categories of information on the death list: Law Body Profile, Equipment Column, and Storage Space, but now there was an additional category called Exchange List.

Qin Lun concentrated on opening the exchange list and found that most of the items were gray, so he couldn’t see the contents. At present, there are only two categories of items lit up, one is equipment materials, and the other is crystal energy.

Only the Stone Statue Ghost Core appeared in the equipment materials category, followed by a purchase price of 500 broken crystals, while the sale price was 100 broken crystals, which was actually five times the difference.

There were two categories of jingshi energy. One was the Stone Statue Ghost Core, and the price was the same. Another item is soul power crystals, purchased for 10 shattered crystals, sold for 2 shattered crystals.

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat, and his consciousness focused on the name that had just appeared, Broken Crystal. The death list immediately gave a detailed description of the broken crystal.

Crystal fragmentation is the semi-materialization of the Laws of the Basic World of the Fragmented Universe. This kind of crystal is between the physical and the virtual. It is the basic currency provided by the Fragmented Universe to the apostles for trading. Apart from the apostles with soul imprints, other beings in the shattered starry sky and other worlds were neither visible nor touchable.

Qin Lun pondered for a moment. It was impossible for the exchange list to only have such a small amount of items. Perhaps it was because he hadn’t met certain restrictions, which was why it only showed this little bit.

At this moment, in another room of the castle, there were also a few people who were thinking and discussing softly.

“Stone statue ghost? Are you sure that something like this has appeared again?”

“Yes, although this stone statue ghost is roughly made, the general principle is the same. It is very likely …”

“Only a third of the time has passed since the Millennium Contract …”

“What should we do?”

“It takes time to gather the descendants of the exorcists, not to mention that the situation is not clear enough. Send someone to investigate the periphery of Maya first!”

“Then … do you agree to let Dr. Stan join the camp?”

“That person? Bring him along!”

“But he’s just an ordinary person?!”

“Haha, take him there. You’ll understand …”
