Chapter 28: Disguise(2/3)
After putting away the soul crystal core, Su Xiao kept all the soul residue in a sealed box. This thing may be used in the future, and the last [Scroll of the Ancients] is very interesting.

…
Su Xiao put away the [Scroll of the Ancient One]. He had a unique idea about this thing, but he didn't know whether it could be successful. Of course, he had to be able to return to the Paradise of Reincarnation alive before he could put it into practice.
After sorting out the results, Su Xiao's eyes turned to Lu Ge and Snow Monster. The two were sitting by the wall. One drank to relieve his sorrow, and the other held a cigar in his mouth. Snow Monster took half a cigar in one breath, and then stopped smoking.
His ability not to vomit makes people wonder if he was a range hood in his previous life.
Seeing that Su Xiao was looking at them, both of them smiled coquettishly. They couldn't go through the main entrance, so they could only come and go back. The problem was that if the secret space passage was opened, the other side would be connected to the location of Kain and the Duke.
While Lu Ge was still struggling, the snow monster on the side had neatly taken out the disc-shaped mechanism. After a few minutes of arrangement, the space passage with a height of about two meters was opened.
Su Xiao asked Bubu Wang and Baha to stay while he jumped into the space channel.
The space in front was particularly chaotic, with light and shadow flying around. Su Xiao looked forward and made sure there was no problem. He walked towards the exit of the space passage. When he arrived at the exit, he heard someone outside saying:
"How was the harvest?"
The person who spoke was Kain. Inside the dilapidated but still intact building, Kain stared at Lu Ge and Wendigo. His eyes were obviously saying that if they dared to take any advantage, they would die on the spot.
"Uh~, this is it."
Lu Ge didn't know how to answer for a while. At this moment, Su Xiao walked out of the space passage behind him.
The moment Su Xiao appeared, the Duke, who was sitting on the wooden box next to the wall, suddenly stood up. The blue light in his mechanical eyes immediately switched to crimson, representing battle, and the core engine in the center of his chest went from 65% to overloaded 110%.
, which caused electronic patterns to appear on the dark golden robe on the Duke.
"Kain, I suppressed his mobility, you..."
As soon as the Duke finished speaking, his expression froze because there was no one around him. Kain, who was standing next to him 0.5 seconds ago, was now on the opposite street a hundred meters behind.
If he had enough time, Kain would have said to the Duke: 'You suppress the hammer and retreat quickly. I hit this guy with a soul-type ultimate ability in the last world, dealing three-digit damage intensity.'
In the battle in the last world, even though Kain suffered repeated setbacks, he never thought of giving up or admitting defeat. Even if he was on the verge of death, this was the case. However, when the soul system and ultimate ability hit Su Xiao, three people were killed.
When he suffered a lot of damage, Kain decided on the spot that he would never encounter this person from now on. There were so many missions in the world, and it was very possible that he would never encounter him again in the future.
In an old building with no doors or windows, Kain suddenly withdrew. Although people were caught off guard, a ruthless man like the Duke made a prompt decision, and a sense of danger spread to the surrounding area.
Boom!
A short and deafening explosion sounded, and the crystal layer quickly clung to Su Xiao's body. He raised one hand, and when the explosion hit him, a crystal wall started from his hand and quickly spread to the surrounding area.
Su Xiao jumped back with all his strength, and then felt the crystal layer on his body being rapidly split. When everything calmed down, he was half squatting on the roof of a house, and most of the crystal layer on his body was shattered.
Standing up on the roof, Su Xiao looked at the large hemispherical pit with a diameter of 100 meters in front of him. Although the scope of the explosion was not large, the power was extremely terrifying. Things within this range were not blown up, but were broken down into
into atomic form.
The Duke disappeared without a trace, but the auras of Lu Ge and Wendigo could still be traced. The two men were fleeing far away, but there was no practical significance in tracking them.
One thing that makes Su Xiao puzzled is that the snow monster only has half of its aura, but even so, the opponent is still running very fast. It seems that the snow monster can survive in the team with Kain and Luge until now, and the snow monster also has special abilities.
This team is full of talent.
Su Xiao looked around and found that she should be in the area near the treatment center. There were green moss on the buildings here, which was a rare sight in the dead city. There must be something special in the treatment center.
Returning to the Holy Ten Church, after a while, Su Xiao returned to the palace with three doors inside and saw Bubo Wang, Baha, and Gulu waiting here.
Among the three doors, the one on the left has no value for exploration, and the door on the inside leads to a hidden treasure house. As for the door on the right, Su Xiao's condition has been roughly restored. It is time to open this door and see what is inside.
Taking out the [Chorus Badge], there was a crisp click, and the [Chorus Badge] was adsorbed by the metal door leaf. More than ten rings on the door, from large to small, began to rotate on their own, and finally formed a section in the middle of the door.
The ancient text roughly means:
'The chosen one, make your choice according to your own judgment.'
Click~
The opposite metal door opened, and a fresh fragrance of flowers came to the nostrils. It was really rare to have such an area in the Silent City.
After Su Xiao walked into it, she found that it was larger than expected. It was conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands of square meters. Glass jars several meters high were lifted one by one. Preliminary estimates were that there were at least several thousand.
The inside of this oversized glass jar is filled with a translucent solution. Inside the solution are skeletons that are translucent. On the stepped platforms on both sides, glass tubes of various types are used to hold a large number of eyeballs, arms, etc.
wait.
Located in front of all the oversized glass jars, there is a most special glass pillar. It reaches the ceiling like a pillar. The solution inside is warm white. In the solution, a woman with long silver-white hair has her eyes closed tightly.
Her skin was fair and delicate, as if it could be broken with a snap of a finger. She seemed to sense someone coming, and she opened her eyes. A pair of amber eyes made people subconsciously feel good about her. This was the Moonlight Maid.
The moonlight maid in the solution looked directly into Su Xiao's eyes, a smile appeared on her face, and she raised her hand to press the inside of the glass column.
Seeing this, Su Xiao raised his hand and pressed it on the outside of the glass column, just opposite the Moonlight Maid's palm across the glass column. He always looked directly into the Moonlight Maid's eyes.
The moonlight maid in the glass column pointed to the metal lever on the ground aside. As long as Su Xiao, as the chosen one, pulls the lever, she can be released.
Su Xiao also pointed to the metal lever on the side. The moonlight maid in the glass column nodded slowly, but in the next second, blood energy gathered at Su Xiao's fingertips, and a blood smoke cannon was blasted out, connecting the metal lever with the mechanism below.
, all exploded with twists and splashes.
Dense silver lines appeared on the glass pillar. The moonlight maid inside looked at Su Xiao, her eyes lost, and she pressed both hands on the inside of the glass pillar, as if she didn't understand why Su Xiao, the chosen one, did this.
The moonlight maid touched her cheeks with both hands, and then groped upward inch by inch. When she touched the top of her forehead, she touched a small gap. This made the disappointment on her face gradually disappear, and she began to smile. Her cheeks were gradually torn by the smile.
It split open, revealing her mouth that was split down to the ears on both sides, and the mouth was full of staggered fangs.
The tip of the Moonlight Maid's index finger reached out with a sharp claw and scratched the inside of the glass pillar. It made a sharp sizzling sound and at the same time, the silver lines on the surface of the glass pillar shimmered.
The former Moonlight Maid was an important legacy left by the Healing Church. Without her, the chosen ones' journey to the Dead City would have been more difficult, or even impossible.
To use the archbishop's original words, as long as he is not dead and returns to the Moonlight Maid's vicinity, the Moonlight Maid can save the chosen one from any serious injuries.
But that was the former Moonlight Maid. When she was helping a chosen person, she was inevitably attracted by the character of these chosen people. These chosen people were the strongest people or leaders of each era, and their personality charm was certainly not enough.
will be weak.
The original Moonlight Maid had no emotions, and the Healing Church would not give her this extra thing. But the Healing Church gave the Moonlight Maid wisdom. With wisdom, emotions are like buds after the rain, gradually breaking out of the ground.
A lonely person waited in the place of birth. After countless years, someone finally came here, and the person who came was a powerful chosen one. Some of these chosen people became her friends, and most of them were people she respected.
But ninety-nine percent of these chosen ones died in battle, and only a few left the Deadly City and never came back.
The constant loss of friends and the long wait alone finally caused the Moonlight Maid to become mentally deformed, and then gradually become physically deformed, finally becoming what she is now.
Unless necessary, Su Xiao will not fight against this evil, deformed creature.
"The chosen ones will all die. It's so dark and lonely here. Why are you leaving me here alone, Lord Chosen One?"
The moonlight maid was swimming inside the glass column, her sharp fingertips occasionally grazing the inner wall of the glass column.
"You have to ask about the ashes in the cathedral."
After hearing Su Xiao's words, Moonlight Maid's ferocious smile softened a bit.
"Oh, is that so? But fortunately, I am no longer just a moonlight maid. If I want, I can be free."
Moonlight Maid narrowed her amber vertical pupils, her smile was a bit unpredictable, and she continued:
"I know. When the Soul Library was still there, I saw people who looked very similar to you in the books. They were called destroyers. It seems that you are too. You are the blood-sworn allies of the Lord of Moonlight."
The "Lord of Moonlight" mentioned by the Moonlight Maid should be Silver Moon Wolf.
"The power of the moonlight I possess is resisting me from being your enemy. Is this a blood oath? It's amazing."
As the Moonlight Maid spoke, her sharp fingertips touched the inside of the glass column, leaving a fine crack on it. Obviously, she could break free from the container that sealed her. The reason why she didn't break free was that the Moonlight Maid didn't want to interact with the outside world.
Bloody monsters fight.
"It's a pity that you came hundreds of years late. If I were just a moonlight maid hundreds of years ago, I would definitely say to you when I saw you, Mr. Chosen One, you are welcome to come."
The Moonlight Maid seemed a little nostalgic, but when she found that Su Xiao was still looking at her expressionlessly, she sneered slightly, pointed to an oversized glass jar several meters high diagonally behind, and said: "There is a semi-finished product there, hers
The vitality is so tenacious, and it is obviously a half-finished product."
Looking in the direction pointed by the Moonlight Maid, Su Xiao saw a figure wearing a gray robe and a silver mask, sitting sideways in an oversized glass jar. This was a semi-finished product made by the Healing Church, or moonlight.
The original version of Saint, Gray Maid.
Su Xiao broke one side of the glass jar and found that the aura of the gray maid was very weak. He originally wanted to find a powerful healer, but found a healer who needed to be healed.
Lifting the gray maid out of the glass tube, Su Xiao asked Bubuwang to carry her. After checking that there was no secret treasure here, he started to return the way he came.
Until Su Xiao left the Birth Sanctuary, the Moonlight Maid didn't speak again. After a moment, she said: "Come out, they have already left."
As soon as he finished speaking, the secret door on the wall opened, and Crow Girl walked out of it. Not far away, there was a man wearing an alloy mask, with both arms being mechanical prosthetics. His left eye was an electronic eye, and his right eye was a radial pupil.
