The Death List Novel - Chapter 99
Chapter 99 Mission Final Discovery
“Oh my God, is that the Arch of Triumph?!” Looking in the direction the knife was pointing in, Jonathan immediately widened his eyes and let out an incredulous groan.
The Arch of Triumph stands on Charles de Gaulle Square. The street they are on is one of the streets that passes through the Arch of Triumph. From the point of view of everyone present, they could already clearly see the specific situation of the Arch of Triumph.
The 50-meter-tall Arch of Triumph was now completely unrecognizable. The reliefs inside and outside the arch were covered in dark red flesh and veins. The huge hole in the door turned into a dark green vortex that slowly rotated. Some tall and ferocious Illusory Demons would step out from within every once in a while.
The Arch of Triumph had become a teleportation portal with Illusory Demon flesh and blood attached to it. Judging from the vibrant vessels, perhaps this place of interest in Paris had already turned into a living Illusory Demon building.
“How could this be!” Lu Kuang muttered to himself blankly, “Shouldn’t it be like this?”
The difference in the arrival time of the Illusory Demon, the lightness of the saber feet, and the ferocity of Chillusorm had already caused his confidence to drop to a freezing point. The Arch of Triumph was completely different from the game, like the last straw that overwhelmed a camel, completely crushing his confidence.
“Since the Arch of Triumph has become an Illusory Demon Building, regardless of whether Sensible Zuo Ma Jie completes the plot here or not, we can’t go there anymore!” Jonathan gritted his teeth and asked, “Should we go to Notre Dame …”
“We’ve already reached this point. Of course we need to go take a look! If we give up the reference to the plot of the game, we don’t know where to find Smart Zuo Ma Jie.” “The longer the delay, the more Parisians will become illusory demons, and our chances of completing the mission will diminish!” Knife said in a hoarse voice.
As he spoke, Xiaodao slammed the steering wheel, and the police car turned around and rushed into an alley, bypassing the triumphal arch and heading towards the Champs Elysees. Following the Champs Elysees is the closest straight line to Notre Dame.
The Champs-Elysees stretches across one-third of central Paris, and to the east lies Paris’s largest and most beautiful Concord Square. In the past, this place was also the place with the most tourists. As for now … if it became the main battlefield in Paris, then it would have become an amusement park for the Illusory Demons.
Sometimes, a straight line might not be the fastest shortcut, but Qin Lun and Hill didn’t warn Xiaodao this time. At the same time as they saw the triumphant arch, a trace of surprise appeared on the faces of the two great murderers. They were currently in a hurry to think about it.
“Apostle 70053, you have discovered the spatial and temporal nodes of the Illusory Demon World. Satisfy the mission conditions, obtain the remaining notifications of the Illusory Demon World, and trigger the ‘Core of Space and Time’ mission.”
[Core of Space and Time: The energy core of a spacetime node. It contains enormous spacetime energy. It can open the starry sky gate. Some high-level spacetime cores can open the teleportation gate under the effect of spacetime skills.]
[Prompt: The principle of the body of the Apostle is the same as that of the reincarnator. After removing the superstring law, the soul mark of the reincarnator is the main body soul mark of the Apostle. In the slaughter scene of the Illusory Demon World, the Apostle can also obtain the bloody Magic Cube of the reincarnator after killing the reincarnator.]
[Tip: Only a portion of the equipment items used by Samsara can be used by the apostles. Unusable equipment items require the apostles to pay a certain amount of Crystal Fragmentation to shatter certain superstring laws in the starry sky.]
[Alien Mission: Core of Space and Time, obtain at least one Core of Space and Time. The Shattered Universe has already placed a space-time energy collector in the apostle’s storage space. Put the collector into the time node. After a certain amount of time, you can obtain a Core of Space and Time. If you obtain any Core of Space and Time, you can request to return through the Apostle Soul Seal.]
The collection time of the spacetime cores depends on the energy intensity of the spacetime nodes, and the mission rewards are settled on the return, depending on the quantity and quality of the spacetime cores. The World Exploration and World Origins obtained by the apostles following the Samsara quest will also be settled upon their return, and additional rewards will be given. ”
[Warning: The apostle’s identity has been concealed by the shattered starry sky. The duration of the mission is the same as that of a newcomer’s reincarnation. If the duration of the mission exceeds, the apostle’s identity will be exposed to the reincarnation. At that time, the pursuit of the reincarnation will be triggered. Please be careful!]
That’s why! This time, the mission to shatter the starry sky was not aimed at world origin, but at the core of space and time.
Qin Lun nodded slightly. He and Hill had misjudged the direction of the mission. They only thought that the Broken Star System had sent them to the Illusory Demon World to seize the source of the world. That was why they had been focusing their attention on the storyline and Samsara.
If they had known that the shattered starry sky was meant for them to snatch the nucleus of time and space, the two of them would not have followed the Samsara at all. They would have definitely taken advantage of the arrival of the Illusory Demon to find a small space-time node and wait for the rabbit to arrive.
However, it’s not too late to know. The Illusory Demon is still fighting with the armed forces in Paris. It’s about eight hours away from dark …
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Lun’s consciousness withdrew from the mission prompt on the death list and turned to look at the other person in the car.
When Qin Lun looked at Hill, the Shepherd also finished thinking and looked at the youth. The two of them saw a look of alertness in each other’s eyes. One spacetime node could only produce one spacetime core. The two of them had now turned from companions into competitors.
If it were any other apostles, there might be a chance for them to cooperate. However, for the two great murderers, with their style and temperament, the two of them were destined to be unable to continue cooperating.
“Xiaodao, pull over!” Qin Lun said after pondering for a moment.
“Doctor Qin, do you want to get off?” Jonathan was shocked and hurriedly asked.
“Well, we haven’t encountered a few Illusory Devils yet. It’s not because they have disappeared. I think they are gathered and attacking the main targets in Paris.” “The Arch of Triumph, the Eiffel Tower, and the Concord Square in front of the Champs-Elysees … These are strategic areas for the Illusory Demons and the Armed Forces of Paris, and police cars cannot pass through them.”
“But if we walk, some members of the team will not be able to keep up. If we encounter scattered Illusory Demons, we will still be torn apart!” Lu Kuang said in panic.
Among the rookies, Lisa was a woman with a baby girl in her arms, and her stamina was the worst of all. As for Lyu Kuang, he was usually absent-minded. He was a dormitory otaku in Nantah, and his stamina wasn’t good either. The two of them definitely couldn’t keep up with the speed of the others.
Qin Lun glanced at everyone in the car and stopped talking. Although he still had a gentle smile on his face, everyone could see the coldness in the young man’s eyes.
“Since we have already rejected Doctor Qin’s previous proposal, we must now take responsibility for our own choices!” ‘”Don’t be afraid. Death is only the beginning of everything. The Lord still cares for everyone!” Hill’s face was still filled with priest-like kindness, but the words he spoke were also incomparably cold.
“Father Hill, could it be that even you approve of walking to Notre Dame …” Jonathan’s face was filled with disbelief.
“Mr. Jonathan, I thought you understood when you rejected Doctor Qin’s suggestion. I didn’t expect you to be so naive!” Hill shook his head disappointedly. “Everyone has to fight for their lives and choices. Doctor Qin’s suggestion was the only shortcut that could be taken advantage of. Since you’ve rejected it …”
“Are you saying that rejecting that suggestion means that everyone has to fight on their own?” Jonathan’s face turned pale and he said anxiously, “But we can still unite together. If so many people fight together, the success rate of killing low-grade illusions will be much higher!”
“Haha, is that so?” Hill narrowed his eyes and stopped explaining.
The car fell into silence for a moment. Actually, everyone subconsciously understood that there was no way there was only the lowest level of saber foot on the street. As time passed, the scattered magical beasts that descended on the city of Paris would slowly gather, and it would be very difficult for them to encounter one or two scattered saber feet.
The team, including the baby girl, had to obtain a total of 21 Illusory Demon Pearls. If Qin Lun and Hill used their full strength to stand at the front of the team and let the others pick up the leak, they would still be able to complete the main mission one. However, in this way, Qin Lun and Hill would be in constant danger and would become the babysitters of this rookie team.
If Qin Lun and Hill didn’t mind, then forget it. If they didn’t want to, how could Jonathan say it directly?
“If we return to the police station now …” Lu Kuang said with a sad face.
“No, I don’t agree!” Jonathan said angrily, “Those Paris citizens are also human. I will not save myself at the expense of others!”
“It’s too late to go back to the police station now. I’ve carefully observed the small groups of Illusory Demons that the police cars avoided along the way. Including that Chillusom, the Illusory Demons are purposefully driving the crowd to the Arch of Triumph and other places. Perhaps the Illusory Demons are not unconsciously slaughtering humans” Qin Lun stroked his chin and a glint flashed in his eyes.
“Our path has been blocked. Right now, we have no other choice but to continue forward! Of course, you can still follow me or Father Hill. However, if you encounter an Illusory Demon, you will have to rely on yourselves!”
“Doctor Qin, are you and Father Hill going to separate as well?” Xiaodao suddenly asked in surprise.
‘”Haha, I’m not going to Notre Dame. I’m going to see another plot location mentioned by Lyu Kuang-the zoo. In the plot, Mingzuo Ma Jie and Jacques Brown’s son Henry will be captured by Illusory Demon Chief Scientist Gildanstein. Perhaps there will be a huge harvest there!” Hill said indifferently.
Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. It was inevitable for Hill to separate from him. In the plot of the game, Gildanstein developed a space-time machine, which should be the original origin of the Illusory Demon Spatio-temporal Node. The zoo, however, was the home of Boss Gilderstein, and the danger was self-evident. It looked like the shepherd wanted to gamble on a big one.
“You can choose whether to follow me or Father Hill!” Qin Lun grinned. Xiaodao had already stopped. He directly opened the door and got off the car. He ran down the street without turning back to Notre Dame Cathedral.
