Life Dungeon Game

"That should be it,"

Vera nodded slightly, then turned to look at Heo. "So, is there something wrong with this painting?"

"perhaps,"

He Ao paused for a moment, then said softly, "This is the 'origin' of the Eternal Esoteric School."

Veri looked up and stared at the empty glass case.

The painting is called 'Baptism'.

Wash away the filth and return to the divine.

Apart from Vincent, the United Industries executives and city cabinet members who had visited the library all treated her well.

Even Vincent, when he sees her, tries to be gentle and smile.

When she was very young, she even thought Vincent was a good person.

Even though Vincent overthrew her father, when Vincent visited in a private capacity, her father would still invite this 'old subordinate' to tour his library and collection.

"Did the former mayor reply to you?"

The boy's gentle and soft voice reached the girl's ears.

The calm voice seemed to possess some invisible power, soothing the ripples in her heart.

"Wait a moment,"

She looked up, took a deep breath, and stared at He Ao, quickly speaking as she raised her bracelet.

“I just called Uncle Endil, but I couldn’t get through, which doesn’t make sense, so I sent Carrie, who’s out gathering intelligence, to the mayor’s office. Judging by the time, Carrie should have arrived by now, and she should send me a message once she gets there,”

She paused mid-sentence, her gaze fixed intently on the information displayed on her bracelet. After a brief silence, she looked up at He Ao.

"The mayor's residence is surrounded by people from United Industries! They seem to have cut off all contact between the mayor's residence and the outside world."

She took a deep breath and looked at He Ao.

“We’ve made contact with Uncle Endil. Without Uncle Endil, we can’t get the support of the city defense forces, and we don’t know if United Industries will go crazy. Uncle Endil’s mayor’s guard is short of weapons and ammunition and can’t beat United Industries.”

She raised her bracelet. "I'll contact the Twilight Society and have them gather their forces. We have to rescue Uncle Endil."

"Don't rush,"

He shook his head and looked at Veri. "Calm down."

Veri looked up and met the boy's calm gaze.

Her chest heaved violently, then gradually slowed down. She slowly lowered the bracelet and gazed at He Ao.

"You're dealing with more than just United Industries now,"

He Ao continued, "There are several other B-rank members in this city. Can the Twilight Society fight against United Industries, against the Eternal Cult, and against these B-rank members?"

Vera's heaving chest finally gave way completely.

gentle.

He Ao looked up at her and asked, "Do you believe me?"

Veri gazed at the boy's cheeks, which were still slightly flushed. She opened her mouth slightly, then slowly closed it again, and finally nodded heavily.

"It's precisely at times like these that we need to remain calm. The fact that United Industries has only surrounded the mayor's residence proves that they currently have no intention of clearing it out,"

He looked up at the densely packed books around him, picked up the knight's sword leaning against the wall, slung it over his shoulder, and headed towards the underground passage. "Let's leave here first. You contact the Twilight Society first, and I'll take care of everything from here on out."

Veri watched the boy walk towards the underground passage. The bright chandelier cast a long shadow of the boy, which stretched upwards along the wall made of stacked books, as if supporting the entire sky.

The panic, confusion, helplessness, and fear I felt just moments ago slowly melted away at this moment.

The blonde girl with pigtails walked up quickly and followed behind the boy.

The two quickly traversed the underground corridor and arrived at the exit.

"Can we really defeat United Industries and Eternal Cult?"

Reaching out to flip the switch that opened the exit, the girl looked at the boy's profile, lowered her head, and asked softly, "We are so much worse off in terms of numbers, strength, and equipment."

"have no idea,"

The boy's voice remained calm and steady. He turned on the flashlight on his bracelet, carried the knight's sword named 'Guardian' on his back, and climbed the stairs.

Soon, a dark alleyway came into view. The beam of his flashlight illuminated the darkness of the narrow alleyway. The boy looked up and glanced at the overcast sky. "But in the night of this city, there are not only people standing under the spotlight."

The blonde girl emerged from the passage and stood behind the boy, a slightly chilly breeze brushing against their hair in the surrounding darkness.

Veri turned her head and, using the faint light from the flashlight on her wristband, gazed at the boy's profile.

She was well aware that the Twilight Order's power was like an egg hitting a rock compared to the combined forces of United Industries and the Eternal Cult, but she had no other choice.

Without He Ao, she might have really led her people to fight United Industries to the death, and then died in United Industries' encirclement and suppression.

Although this 'young boy' is not very old, he sometimes says hurtful things.

But it seems that wherever he is, there is hope for a solution to any problem.

"what happened?"

He glanced at Vili, who was bowing slightly and watching him.

"nothing,"

The girl immediately looked away and glanced to both sides. "It's a bit quiet around here. There might be an ambush."

"There's no ambush, I checked."

He Ao looked up at her strangely, "Let's go."

He noticed Vera's movements, but didn't pay any attention to them.

He tightened his scarf and walked towards the end of the alley.

The blonde girl trailed half a step behind the boy, gazing at his profile, her steps lightening slightly.

The two quickly reached the intersection, where a black SUV was parked.

The two quickly got into the off-road vehicle.

This time, Vera sat in the passenger seat, while Heo sat in the back.

Where are we going now?

Veri turned around and looked at Heo behind her.

"Let's go find Lena first."

He Ao spoke calmly.

At the same time, he looked at the illusory cards in his field of vision.

Previously, the 'King of Night' cost one exchange star per day, while the 'Usurper' cost one exchange star for 'half a day'?

Can the redemption period be halved?

He Ao stared at the system subtitles in front of him and took a deep breath.

Can I redeem stars at half the price?

As if sensing his thoughts, the subtitles in his field of vision slowly changed.

[Do you wish to exchange 0.5 exchange stars for 6 hours of use of 'The Usurper'? (You currently have 1 exchange star available)]

Chapter 827 The Divine Body is My Body (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The long, dark clouds stretched to the horizon, connecting the still, black sea with the horizon itself. Flashes of lightning rose and fell over the raging sea, their hazy glow peeking through the spots and cracks in the clouds.

The undulating seawater lapped against the rocks on the shore, and the cold sea breeze caressed the man's face.

He raised his bracelet, glanced at the message signed by Yi Luo, and took a deep breath.

A small boat slowly emerged from the dark sea, and a resolute-looking blond man stood at the bow, gazing at the shore.

The small boat stopped just before reaching the shore. The blond man looked at the figure on the bank and asked slowly, "Mr. Gast?"

"Yes."

Gast nodded, looking at the blond man. "Captain Kevin?"

"Yes,"

Kevin nodded, glanced back at the lightning and storm flashing at the edge of the dark sea, then turned to Gast, saying, "This road will be dangerous."

Gast took a deep breath and smiled, "I'm ready."

He leaped and jumped onto the small boat.

Kevin pulled the control stick, steer the small boat around a bend, and plunged into the depths of the stormy sea.

-

Traveling eastward along the snow-covered mountain ranges, with their backs to the storm sea, for thousands of kilometers, deep inland, near the city of Rock, massive tracked machines were rumbling.

"Ha, it seems there still isn't one."

The prospector, dressed in thick work clothes, jumped off the tracked vehicle and glanced at the sample the machine had extracted from the ground under the illumination of the huge searchlight.

Inside the tracked vehicle, the screen of the mineral detector went dark with a series of beeping sounds.

"Hey, you've got sharp eyes."

The driver, who was sitting in the cab, also jumped off the tracked vehicle and stood next to the explorer.

He exhaled, and thick white mist spread through the air.

“Samples from lithium deposits don’t look like this,”

The prospector took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to the driver, lit it with an electronic lighter, and then took one for himself and lit it in his mouth.
