Chapter 14 Cursed Gold
Wu Chang did not have a pass to leave the sanatorium, but in order to facilitate entry and exit, Randy wrote a staff name tag for him so that he could move freely in the sanatorium.

After putting on his name tag and leaving the dean's office, the medical staff wandering in the corridor did not attack him, as if he had become air.

Except for one person.

When Wu Chang was about to leave the fourth floor, he was blocked by Julie who had been waiting there.

Julie looked at the handwritten name tag on Wu Chang's chest and said in a relaxed tone, "It looks like progress is good."

Wu Chang shrugged. "It's more troublesome than I thought. Dean Randy is very wary and doesn't believe what I say just because I hold the King's Badge. I need to find more evidence to convince him."

"How is the dean doing?"

Wu Chang said: "He is in good health and as strong as an orc, but seeing the townspeople going crazy due to paranoia has put him under so much mental stress that he dares not step out of the office."

"But he promised me that he would help as long as the real murderer was found."

These two paragraphs are true, so it was very natural for him to say them.

Julie nodded. She was prepared for this and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Wu Chang: "While the night is still long, let's search the areas that are difficult to access during the day. As a senior, what suggestions does Miss Julie have?"

"Take a closer look in the basement and the backyard, maybe you'll find something. I'm on the fourth floor, remember to come find me if you need help."

Looking at Julie who turned and left after saying that, Wu Chang showed confusion on his face.

Could it be that he is judging others by his own mean standards?

But the guilt only lasted for a moment before he strangled it to death.

Shame? Not really.

Countless battle royale games have confirmed a truth: only Lao Liu and Bad B can survive to the end.

He is a professional Lao Liu player and his heart is dirty.

After symbolically searching the building for a while and making sure that Julie was not following him, he headed straight for the backyard of the nursing home.

Julie's suggestion was not perfunctory. The underground secret room where Randy stored the old books was located in the cabin in the backyard.

Using the key given by Randy to open the cabin, Wu Chang followed the instructions and found a secret passage leading to the underground behind the fireplace in the study.

At the end of the secret passage is a small library with various documents on the shelves, ranging from carved stone slabs to parchment to printed books. The collection almost spans the history of the development of writing.

Each piece of collection has undergone special treatment, and after hundreds or thousands of years, the handwriting is still clearly visible.

This is a good opportunity to investigate the world view of the dungeon.

Wu Chang took out a piece of paper with numbers on it and quickly found all the books recommended by Randy. After a quick browse, he understood what the BOSS of the copy was.

The Anderson family's ancestors suppressed an evil god named Leman.

Lyman is cruel, cunning, powerful, vengeful, and has a deep sense of evil.

He controls the power of dreams and reality, can satisfy the wishes of believers, and grant them endless knowledge and wealth, but he will often take away the most precious things of believers because of his preferences.

According to one record, Lehman helped the king of a small country repel foreign enemies and revive his country, but at the most prosperous moment of the country, a giant volcano exploded and engulfed the entire country.

It sounds like praying to Lehman is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but desire and luck are the main factors, and Lehman's generous rewards make his followers particularly devout.

Troublesome guy.

Wu Chang put the document back in its place, took out the silver crossbow from his prop backpack, and continued to explore the underground secret room.

"Item name: Demon-breaking Crossbow."

「Item type: copy item」

"Item level: D."

"Item Skill: Exorcism."

"Skill Description: Mark an evil god or evil god's believer, use the magic-breaking crossbow to hit the marked target to cause double damage. You can change the marked target after killing the target or one hour has passed since the last mark."

"Special Skill: Devil Breaker." (Unlocked by the King's Badge)

"Sacrificing a crossbow arrow will unleash incredible power, causing massive damage to the marked target's origin."

"Note: Only by striking directly at the source can you truly harm the evil god."

The resentment on Wolf has been mentioned, and the cursed gold is on the second basement floor of the Moonlight Sanatorium.

If this resentment is true, then there is no better place to hide the cursed gold than here.

Just as he guessed, when he searched a bookshelf, the resentment on the magic-breaking crossbow in his hand flickered. He approached and examined it carefully, and found a groove at the bottom of the bookshelf, the shape of which resembled the tip of an arrow.

The magic-destroying crossbow arrow was inserted into the groove. With the sound of gears turning, a tunnel leading to the second underground floor emerged on the floor.

Become!

After climbing nearly a hundred steps, Wu Chang came to an open stone chamber. Dozens of stone slabs were arranged in concentric circles in the center of the chamber, and each slab was engraved with inscriptions.

As Wu Chang approached, a white shadow like mist appeared in front of him. At the same time, a strong and powerful voice of an elderly man sounded in his ears.

"The fact that you've made it this far is proof of your excellence. Those rats who believe in Lehman can't do it. You must be my descendant, or a descendant of the Mystic Knights, right?"

"Mr. Anderson?" Wu Chang asked tentatively.

The phantom did not respond to Wu Chang, but continued to talk to himself like a video recording.

"If you are a rat who believes in Leman, that's fine. I have confidence in your character. Compared to praying for the little reward from that evil god, isn't it more tempting to kill him, steal his power, and become a god yourself?"

"Even if you just seal him again, the Cursed Gold will give you everything you want." The shadow continued to seduce.

"Don't worry about betrayal. When we sealed Lehman, we bribed one-third of the high-ranking officials of the Church of Tranquility. Thanks to them, we were able to leave alive, so don't feel guilty."

"Next, I will tell you everything here..."

Five minutes later, as the shadow in front of him disappeared, Wu Chang shook his head and turned his attention back to the present.

No wonder the Moonlight Sanatorium is so abnormal. It turns out that before the Anderson family was established, this place was the secret base of the Mystic Knights and was also one of the backup plans to deal with Lehman.

The stone slabs placed in the stone chamber are a large-scale exorcism ritual. Once activated, it will disperse or purify all beings with evil power within a few kilometers around.

The word "disperse" here refers to dispersing in the physical sense.

Only those who master the controller of the exorcism formation or the direct descendants of the Anderson family can control this power.

Considering what happened in the sanatorium and the rule prohibiting leaving the ward at night, it is likely that Randy was unable to suppress his magical talent in his sleep and inadvertently stimulated part of the power of the exorcism formation.

This power is combined with Randy's technique. Once the presence of evil spirits, that is, the existence of delusions, is detected outside the "safe zone", the carrier of the evil spirit's breath will be physically dispelled.

The abnormality of the medical staff comes from the purification ability of the formation.

In addition to attacking the enemy's dispel, the formation can also help one's own side dispel the influence of evil spirits.

However, the method is somewhat extreme, similar to using chemotherapy to eliminate cancer cells.

When the spirit of a team member is affected by the power of the evil god, he or she will be placed in the formation, which will initiate a mental purification and launch an indiscriminate attack on the people in the formation and the evil god's power that is entangled with him or her.

The result is simple and brutal. Either the person entering the formation has a strong spirit and can hold on until the evil god's power is purified.

Either you fail or suffer a mental breakdown, or the excessive purification ability will be converted into physical damage, causing the physical collapse of those who enter the formation.

Wu Chang still remembered the last words that the phantom said when he introduced the ability of the formation: Don't worry about whether the people are hurt or not, just say whether it is purified or not.

Perhaps it was because too much time had passed, causing the magic power to be lost. The phantom only told him how to control the exorcism formation and then dissipated. However, the information about the exorcism formation has already solved many secrets of the sanatorium.

As long as the true identity of the cursed gold is confirmed, the main mission 2 of the dungeon should be completed.

Wu Chang picked up a badge from where the shadow disappeared. The craftsmanship of the badge was the same as that of the king's badge.

"Item name: Secret Magic Badge."

「Item type: copy item」

"Item Description: A token of the Mystic Knights. Holding this emblem will grant you partial access to the exorcism formation and allow you to freely manipulate the power of the formation."

"Special Skill: Final Purification." (Unlocked by the King's Badge)

"Skill Description: By burning the entire formation, a force beyond the formation's limits is unleashed."

"Note: When the evil god's followers use the power of the badge, they will be attacked by the formation after the formation is completed."

The remarks on the arcane badge only appeared when he wore the king's badge. He had previously suspected that, as the first generation leader of the Arcane Knights, old Anderson was too friendly to the evil god believers. Now it seems that old Deng really had a trick up his sleeve.

Wearing the secret badge, he entered the exorcism formation, passed through layer after layer of stone tablets, and came to the core of the formation.

On a stone altar, he saw cursed gold floating in the air.

It was a living eye that was constantly moving.

The eyes of the evil god Lehman.
