Chapter 959: Nightfall Again
The [City of Law] just after nightfall.

The surging black fog once again swallowed up the faint light of the night sky.

The streets were like a dying place, and it seemed as if some kind of miasma was coming out of even the cracks in the ground, making it so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"Go back first."

"Distribute the forces we have now."

Lindsay gave an order, and Alice and he turned back to the street where the believers' base was located.

When going back.

Lindsay touched the enemy's body and opened the loot chest.

[Consumables: Poison of Pride]

[A special poison that can be applied to weapons, mixed into food, or ignited to volatilize. It is not fatal in itself, but once infected, a person's mentality will continue to develop in the direction of arrogance, becoming more and more serious until the drug's properties completely evaporate.]

【Arrogance is the great sin of mankind! 】

[A special poison made with source material, of moderate value. 】

[Wonderful Item: Ring of the Contemptuous]

[When wearing this ring, as long as the wearer firmly believes that he is stronger than the enemy, he can obtain a 15-point increase in all attributes during the fight! ]

[I must be better than him! ]

[Equipment that only special awakeners can use, with large fluctuations in value. 】

"..."

"What the hell kind of equipment is this?"

Lindsay blinked.

[Poison of Pride] is nothing special, it is just an auxiliary item with simple and easy-to-use attributes that can play a role in various battles.

But this [Ring of the Contemptuous].

Do you think its properties are strong?

Increasing all attributes by 15 points is already an outrageous level.

Just this request...

"Believe that you are stronger than your enemy."

"It's useless against strong enemies, but it's very effective against the weak. What kind of magic weapon is this?"

Alice turned her head and said:
"Lindsay, what's wrong with you?"

Lindsay threw the [Ring of Contempt] directly over:
"Take a look."

After Alice took it, her expression became as strange as Lindsay's.

"This……"

At this moment, Heller quickly walked out from the believers' base:

"Alice, the black fog has risen again, and many evil essences have appeared in the city."

“We must not sit back and wait for this to happen.”

"Standing in this kind of fog, the skills of the Law Knights are almost useless. It will be difficult for us to control the situation in a short period of time."

"What's worse is their purpose." Lindsay shook his head. "They have now thrown out even the last of their hidden strength. In order to achieve their goal, they will definitely proceed as quickly as possible. We don't have much time."

"..."

The three of them fell silent for a moment.

The time is short, the tasks are numerous, and they don't have enough helpers around them.

Alice frowned slightly.

After a moment, she spoke calmly and decisively:
“It’s impossible to completely control the situation.”

"So what we can do is to try our best to grasp their key points in this chaotic situation, and then destroy them with one blow!"

Lindsay immediately shook her head:

"My scouting skills aren't enough to cover the entire city."

"Or even if we did, it would be impossible to confirm their true purpose in such a short time."

"..."

"Lindsay, you might need some help."

Just then, a voice sounded from behind.

Lindsay turned around and looked at the messenger who had just walked out. Eris said seriously, "The current situation has exceeded the original understanding of Xingjiao City."

"The Seven Seas Alliance and the City of Law have held discussions. In fact, there are several teleportation arrays in the city that are already operational."

Eris finally said:
"Send me to the embassy."

"We may be able to provide some help."

This is already a decision made by external forces to interfere in the internal affairs of the [City of Law].

Lindsay was thinking about how to start the conversation. Heller, the Sufferer standing nearby, took the initiative to take on the responsibility:
"No problem, Mr. Eris, I'll escort you there."

"Even if someone blames me later, I will be responsible for this matter!"

"..."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

There is no room for too much hesitation and delay at this time.

Lindsay and Alice agreed to the action, and then Heller and Eris immediately set off together.

The skills of the righteous ones are not affected by the black fog. Eris herself is also a sixth-stage awakener, and she even has a hidden magical beast companion, which is also the bridge for Lindsay to communicate with them at any time.

They traveled lightly and soon disappeared into the dark streets.

"..."

After watching the two leave, Lindsay also opened her friend list.

Lindsay: [Arasong, I have a question for you.]

Lindsay: [The situation in the Royal City is very chaotic right now. I want to confirm whether the teleportation array in the [City of Law] is functioning normally?]

Arason: [The situation in the city is very chaotic. Can you tell me more about it? ]

Lindsay: [It’s probably like this…]

Lindsay told the other party what happened as concisely as possible.

There was silence in the friend channel for a few seconds before the other party's call appeared again.

Arathorn: [Lindsay, I will inform the Seven Seas Alliance about this matter.]

Arason: [If possible, we will provide corresponding support! ]

Lindsay: [This is beyond the scope of your job description.]

Arathorn: [As long as what you said is true, the School of the Abyss is the enemy that everyone needs to deal with. ]

Lindsay: [……]

Lindsay: Thank you.

Lindsay closed the friend list and waved to Alice:
"I have notified everyone who can be notified."

"The two of us will move in the city and try to find out the real goal of these guys..."

Lindsay's voice stopped abruptly.

Because at this moment, he and Alice simultaneously sensed a terrifying source rising in the city.

Just like the lust, arrogance, and greed before.

The source skill that appeared this time also came with a powerful negative attribute.

——That is the power of despair.

What is different from the previous forces is.

This new guy's skills have a wide range of influence, and his erosion of human nature is extremely serious!
Lindsay and Alice were aware of the horror of it even though they were far away.

Alice, who had excellent perception, immediately sensed the impending threat and quickly turned her head to look at Lindsay:
"Lindsay!?"

Lindsay frowned and pulled open the map.

Through the effect of [Strategic Map], he immediately locked the enemy's position.

This guy was sprinting outward along the central axis of the [Capital of Law]. While constantly infecting the emotions of the people around him, his destination was also very obvious.

The enemy's ultimate goal.

It is a refugee camp built on the outskirts of the city, behind a deep valley of Jinghe River!

Thousands of civilians are taking refuge in that temporary resettlement site, and the guarding force is even weaker than that of the [City of Law]!
Lindsay turned to look at the girl next to her:
"Alice."

"This guy's target is the refugees outside the city!"
