How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 199 That’s not a disease

"Where did you meet that dog?"

"Is the body cleaned up?"

Dunn on the side heard this and immediately asked.

"Yes, on Frozen Stone Street, I remember it very clearly!" Meral replied nervously after hearing Dunn's serious tone.

"As for the dog's body, I burned it because I felt that the dog's behavior was not right at the time and I was afraid that it might carry some virus, so I burned it with fire in a secret corner of the sewer. Clean."

"I went to the hospital for diagnosis later, and the doctors said I didn't have the disease."

"That's not a disease." Yun Mu suddenly said at this time: "That's a curse, a curse that can spread from life to life."

"Curse, curse!?" Meral's face instantly turned very pale.

It seems that compared to some unknown germ that may exist, the curse of occultism is more terrifying.

Yun Mu thought in his heart.

"It's okay, just drink the blood when the curse breaks out."

"Just like just now." She comforted the other person softly.

"What I just drank, was it blood?" Meral's expression looked a little surprised. Yun Mu guessed that she was wondering why the taste of blood was different from what she remembered.

"That is blood brew, a drink brewed with human blood. Compared with blood, it can relieve blood thirst more effectively."

"When you're not thirsty for blood, it tastes almost like raw human blood. You don't want to know the taste."

"By the way, the bottle of blood brew you just drank was made with my blood~" Yun Mu lied with some wickedness: "Does my blood taste good?"

"This, this." The look on Meral's face became a little strange, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, it's just to liven up the atmosphere." Seeing her like this, Yun Mu couldn't help but chuckle.

"I need to drink this myself. How could it be brewed with my blood?"

"After all, no one can live by drinking their own blood, right?"

Looking at Meral, who looked much more relaxed, Yun Mu silently admired his ability to comfort her.

Of course, it may just be the special effects brought about by the title and characteristics.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it works, she's not someone who particularly cares about this kind of thing.

To put it another way, do those titles still have special qualities, so don’t they belong to her?

"What do you mean you also need to drink?" After relaxing a little from his nervousness, Meral looked at Yun Mu with some confusion and asked.

"Yes, it's just as you thought." She nodded affirmatively, with a reassuring smile on her face.

"About fourteen days ago, I was infected with this curse, but I am still alive and well, so you can rest assured."

"At least, this curse will not be fatal in a short period of time."

"In a short period of time. This is not a reassuring statement."

A forced smile appeared on Meral's face.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

At this time, Dunn looked around and said suddenly.

He had not used the skills to reduce his presence before, but the movement on their side had already attracted the attention of many people in the black market.

Especially Meral, when Yun Mu fed her blood brew, she took off his mask, causing her face to be exposed.

Fortunately, there were not many people on this path, and it did not cause any commotion.

In the black market, most people still know how to keep a distance from strangers, but there are no guys who actively come up to watch the fun.

Meral also reacted to Dunn's words at this time, and quickly put on the cat-face mask in a panic.

"Me, let's talk somewhere else!" she said.

After a pause, she added: "I know a place that is safe."

Standing up from the ground, Meral turned to look at the two people.

"If you don't mind, please come with me and I will lead the way for you two."

"."

Yun Mu and Dunn looked at each other with their gray iron masked faces, and then they both nodded and agreed.

"Great." Seeing that the two of them agreed, Meral was obviously relieved.

"You two, please come with me." She turned and walked away.

"This is it."

About thirty-five minutes later, Meral led Yun Mu and Dunn through the neighborhood where the black market was located, entered the sewers, and followed a hidden staircase to a place where the cracked and exposed A canyon-like area with a large underground riverbed.

"This is."

Yun Mu looked at the various houses and buildings built in layers in this canyon area in surprise. He did not expect that there was such a place underground in Shuangluo City.

It feels like my predecessor lived here for so many years, but ended up not even knowing one-tenth of the city.

Should I say that this place is really big, or that the living environment in its predecessor was too harsh.

She thought with some emotion for no reason.

"This is the Dark River, which belongs to the Thieves Guild's territory. Our Frostfall City branch is here." Meral introduced to the two of them.

"What a rare sight." Even Dunn, who lives in Winter City, couldn't help but admire when he saw the scene in front of him.

After all, this style of architecture and terrain should be hard to come across no matter which country it is in.

Maybe in a few hundred years, this place will evolve into a tourist attraction or something.

"Let's talk here."

Taking the elevator to the lowest level of the underground river, Meral took the two of them to an open-air restaurant.

She sat casually in front of a wooden table and chair that was a little worn but very clean, and looked at the goblin boss not far away:

"Boss, let's have a piece of mud monster stew and a giant rat pie."

"Okay." The goblin boss sitting behind the counter cheered up after hearing Meral's words.

Mud monster stew, giant rat pie.

When Meral ordered the name of the dish, the corners of Yun Mu's mouth twitched slightly.

Let’s not mention the giant rat meat pie for the moment. It is actually not much different from rat meat. It can still be eaten after being washed.

But the mud monster.

Is that really edible?

Also used to make soup.

A monster whose whole body was covered in mud and whose body was constantly squirming like gelatin.

Sorry, she really can't imagine the taste.

If she really wanted to eat the mud monster, she thought that she should first clean the mud from the mud monster, then find a way to make it spit out the impurities in its stomach, and then add sugar, ice cubes, and jam to make something similar.

No, how could she really think about how to eat this thing?

Halfway through the thought, Yun Mu suddenly woke up.

"Do you two want to eat anything? After all, you saved me, so I want to treat you to something to eat." Meral pushed the menu in front of the two of them and whispered.

"Let me see"

After what the other party said, Yun Mu also felt a little hungry. She picked up the menu and looked at the words on it carefully.

She wanted to see if there was anything she could eat, normal food.

Charcoal-grilled piranha, giant rat steak, fish-eyeball fried skewers, mud monster mushroom chowder. What the hell are these.

"I, I'm not hungry." After hesitating for a moment, Yun Mu silently put down the menu and pushed it away.

This was the first time that she actually refused when someone invited her to dinner!

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

How could such a thing be swallowed?

"I want one portion of Demon Swamp Frog Stew, two portions of fish-eyeball fried skewers, and one portion of charcoal-grilled mushroom slices." Dunn said silently at this time.

After all, I ordered food!

And he still had a very calm tone.

Am I the weird one?

Yun Mu looked at Dunn with an incredulous expression.

"Well, while the meal is being served, can you tell me more about the curse?" After ordering, Meral clasped his hands and looked at Yun Mu and Dunn and asked.

"Of course there is no problem." After hearing Meral's words, Yun Mu also came to her senses at this time. She looked at the other party and said, "After all, this is our purpose."

Anyway, the one-eared mouse said that the identity certificate he applied for cannot be used today, and it will have to wait until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Before that, let’s deal with the problem of the girl in front of me.

she thinks.

"The curse on you is called the Scarlet Curse, and its effect is"

Yun Mu briefly explained to Meral about the many troubles caused by the scarlet curse and how to deal with them.

Among them, if you drink blood too often, or if you resist not drinking blood, you will eventually lose your mind and become a monster.

She believed that there was no point in hiding this matter. It was better to make it clear from the beginning to avoid misunderstandings in the future.

However, she only explained the effect of the scarlet curse to the other party. She did not say anything about Breonna, the church, or the scarlet outer god.

Although she felt that Meral was most likely not a bad person, she still had to be at least vigilant.

Besides, telling her these things would have no effect.

After all, she is just a [pickpocket] professional who just took up her first-level apprenticeship last night.

"So, no matter whether I drink blood or not, I will die in the end, right?" After listening to Yun Mu's story, Meral said with a trembling voice.

"Although it's not entirely true, there is a high probability that it will be like this." Yun Mu nodded firmly after hesitating for a moment.

If you drink blood when you are thirsty for blood, you have a small chance of becoming a blood descendant.

And as long as you become a blood descendant, the Scarlet Curse will never enter the [apoptosis] state.

But that is a low-probability event after all.

It would be too pitiful to place the hope of survival on one's own luck.

After thinking about it, she still said: "Becoming a transcendent can effectively reduce the side effects of drinking blood. The stronger you are, the slower the erosion of the scarlet curse will be."

The slower the erosion, the more times the blood thirsty state will be triggered. Correspondingly, the probability of being transformed into a blood descendant will also increase.

"Before life dies, try to find a way to lift the curse!"

"Yeah." Encouraged by Yun Mu, Meral's mood improved significantly. She chuckled bitterly, as if to cheer herself up, and said, "There will always be a way."

"Yes, there will always be a way." Yun Mu nodded.

Night, 19:35.

After Yun Mu and Dunn said goodbye to Meral, they left the Dark River and followed the route inside the sewer back to the streets of Frostfall City.

At this time, it was eight o'clock in the evening, that is, there was still half an hour left before Breonna held a meeting at Frost Bank.

"Go back and report this to Breonna."

"Stop by to hear other people's findings."

After leaving the sewer, Dunn casually patted the dust on his body and said.

"Give this back to you."

At this time, Yun Mu took off the gray iron mask on his face and handed it back to Dunn.

"No, just hold it for now. You'll need it later." Dunn stretched out his palm and pushed the mask back.

"Ok."

Hearing what Dunn said, Yun Mu thought it made sense, so he casually took out a blank card and sealed the gray iron mask into the painting.

There was still plenty of time at this time. She and Dunn had no intention of taking a steam taxi, but chose to walk towards the direction of Frost Bank.

In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the gate of Frost Bank.

Well, the familiar boundary, the familiar illusory door.

Without any hesitation, Yun Mu stepped into it, while Dunn followed closely behind her.

"It looks like everyone is here."

In the lobby on the first floor, Breonna sat on a familiar counter, shaking her legs slightly.

She looked around the room, and after confirming that everyone was present, she said, "Then let's start the meeting."

"From left to right, starting with Mr. Edward on the church side."

"Isn't there any substantial progress in the church?" After listening to Edward's story, Breonna looked a little disappointed.

"Yes, although we convinced Father Chelman, the church leader behind him didn't want to see us." Edward looked a little helpless. He had indeed tried every means today.

But the other party refused to communicate with them, which was really annoying.

"Can we use violence?" He looked at Breonna and asked.

"If possible, try not to do this."

I really dare you to say that you can use force on the territory of the church, even if you are three master-level extraordinary beings. It seems, maybe, it is really okay?

No, no, no, you can't think like that.

They haven't determined where the anchor point is yet. If they do it rashly, there will be big problems.

"You should find a way to track Father Chelman. He has frequent contact with the church leaders behind him. You may be able to follow him to find out the other party's identity."

"Uh, that." Edward hesitated for a moment and said, "There are three of us, and no one will follow or sneak around."

A Treader Knight, a Qi Painter, and a Conquering Knight. The three of them don't look like people who can sneak.

".It's true that I didn't think carefully enough."

Breonna raised her forehead slightly and said: "I will ask my shadow guard, Ai, to act with you. Because of some experiences, she has special divination methods, which may be able to help you."

　ps: The Thieves Guild is a super organization with power all over the continent. However, as technology has become more developed in modern times, it has gradually become more and more lonely.
