Rogers did not answer, but concentrated on fighting the soul beast. Zhao Jie did not expect a younger brother to dare to complain about his leader to outsiders, so he casually mentioned it and prepared to continue fighting.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the soul beasts stopped attacking and slowly retreated towards the crowd, leaving behind corpses all over the ground, some human and some soul beast, and countless soul rings floating in the air.

"Did we... win?" Zhao Jie stared blankly at the retreating soul beast, his eyes full of disbelief.

The same thing happened to Rogers. He never thought that he could survive in such a situation. When he was about to laugh, he suddenly heard applause.

Snap, snap, snap

"You guys are very good." A man with a human skin book under his arm clapped and walked out of the shadows. He was tall and had long limbs, but from his exposed wrists, it could be seen that he was very thin. A black robe covered his face, and his hands were covered in blood.

"I didn't expect you to be here, Zhao Jie from the Taixun Group." The man lifted his hood. "This is what we call 'misfortune'. Things never go according to plan. We can only keep correcting and perfecting it."

The man raised his head, his face was covered with hideous scars, as if he had been scalded by boiling water, and his eye sockets were empty. Just looking at this face, Zhao Jie felt unwell all over.

"Palace...Palace Master?" Rogers' voice was very shaken. He could tell that the man's voice was exactly the same as his own Palace Master's, but his appearance was completely different.

"Ah, it's Rogers." The man heard the voice and turned his two black holes towards Rogers. "You're still alive. I thought you would be among the first to die."

"Palace Master?" Zhao Jie couldn't believe that the Spirit Hall would send such a person to be the Palace Master.

"Zhao Jie, you've always wanted to meet me, right? I'm the master of the Spirit Hall, Klein." The man wiped his face with his hand, and his face turned into a gentle man with a pair of black-framed glasses and a warm smile on his face.

"What?!" Everyone was stunned. Not only Zhao Jie and Rogers, but everyone else nearby didn't expect that just a wipe of the hand could completely change the face.

“Hahahahahahahahaha!” Klein covered his face and laughed wildly. His gentle face turned into mist and dissipated.

"Are you sure that everything you see now is real?"

The man laughed sinisterly and said, "Your breathing is very rapid."

.........

"My name is Zhao Wei, everyone calls me A Wei, and I am the deputy head of the Taixun Group."

"I might be dying."

"It was just an ordinary day. I led my team into the dark land to collect a rare medicinal herb. But I didn't expect that this was the beginning of a nightmare."

"Hell, I'm in hell now."

"I saw people tearing their faces and banging against the rock wall, crying and laughing."

"I saw people clawing out their own eyeballs and chewing them while screaming."

"I saw someone screaming and attacking people indiscriminately, but he was quickly killed by a man in a black robe."

"That book, that blood-red book, the book with the face on it. It's pulling out the soul and stuffing it into stone."

"The village was destroyed in flames, and everyone in the Taixun Group was buried in the fire."

"The soul beast attacked the village. In order to cover the villagers' retreat, Brother Jie and Atong both died in battle."

"It's all hallucinations. I'm still in this cave."

"They couldn't escape. He didn't stop them from escaping, but they always attacked back in a daze and had their souls sucked out."

"I couldn't see anymore. When I woke up, everything was dark in front of my eyes and my face was burning with pain."

"I must look really ugly right now, still crying. I will definitely be laughed at if Brother Jie finds out."

"Although I am far inferior to Brother Jie in combat, according to the new classification, I should be classified as a reconnaissance-type spirit master."

"Unlike the wild boars that Brother Jie used for battle, my martial spirit has enhanced my sense of smell. Even though I can't see now, I can smell the disgusting smell here and the breeze outside."

"Also, I didn't notice the strange smell in the air before."

"The hallucinations are still coming, and every time I wake up, my head hurts more and more."

"It's not an illusion, it's not the eyes, it's the nose, it's the nose!"

"I want to run away. I have to run away. I have to run away."

"The smell of decay in the dark place is the smell of freedom."

"I'm back again, the hands on my head are exerting force, and it feels like my soul is being ripped apart."

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much”

"Don't open your mouth, don't open your mouth, hold on ...

"I'm sorry, Brother Jie. I'll leave the Taixun Group in your hands."

"No matter who you are, please understand what I mean and find my last gift."

.....................

"He is Ah Wei?"

"That's right." Gu You remembered that Zhao Jie had told him about Zhao Wei's characteristics. Although his face was unrecognizable, his clothes made it obvious that he was the Zhao Wei that Zhao Jie had asked them to find clues for.

"Why does he have this expression?" Gu You couldn't understand. Obviously, all the dead people here had fear, pain and despair on their faces, so why was it that only Zhao Wei looked like he was enduring pain?

After a while, Gu You suddenly remembered something and took out the two identical tokens from his arms.

"This token is Zhao Wei's token!" Gu You suddenly realized something, turned over the token, looked at the word "mouth" carved in stone on the back, and then saw Zhao Wei's tightly closed mouth.

“…Sorry, I’m sorry.” Gu You stretched out his hand and forcefully pried open Zhao Wei’s mouth.

Before Zhao Wei died, he used all his strength to keep his mouth tightly closed. His muscles were stiff after death so Gu You could only pry his mouth open bit by bit.

When he opened his mouth, what caught his eye were cracks from exerting too much force, some broken teeth, and a water-repellent cloth pressed against the roof of his mouth by his tongue.

Gu You carefully pulled out the cloth, revealing a piece of paper with words written on it.

"Soul King, blind man, poison gas, fear, hallucination, the human skin book can extract the soul, rock monster, it's almost done, protect the town, protect the town!!!"

"What is this?!" When Tang San saw the words above, as well as the three huge exclamation marks, he looked at Zhao Wei with admiration, then took out the herbs from the soul guide and began to prepare the antidote according to the clues Zhao Wei left.

From the behavior of Xiao Wu and the others just now, Tang San judged that it might be related to hallucinations, but since he didn't know the principles of hallucinations, he didn't dare to prepare antidotes at will.

Now that he knew that the most important principle was fear, Tang San knew how to break the influence of the poison gas and needed to choose a drug that calmed the mind.

"That time..." Gu You recalled the hallucination that appeared when the hooked-claw cat attacked him.

"I see. The strong wind brought by the Crooked Cat blew away the scent of Xiao San beside me, so the previous hallucination appeared. This may also be related to my irritability in the dark place."

Gu You and Tang San had been to the even more terrifying Poisonous Swamp, which was even more uncomfortable than the Dark Land. Having been tested by the Poisonous Swamp, the two men could not stand the slightly better environment here because they were affected by the poisonous gas that permeated the forest.

Zhao Wei tried his best to leave information. Gu You stretched out his fingers, gently pressed on his furrowed brows, and rubbed them slowly.

"Thanks for the hard work, brother. Leave the rest to us."

.........

"Heh, Soul King."

Klein looked at the black figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, as well as the five spirit rings floating around him, two yellow, two purple, and one black, with a hint of disdain on his face.

"Fallen, your time of death has come."

The person who came was Zhu Zhuqing's guard, who had been watching the soul beast attack silently. He knew very well that normally there would be no soul beast riot in this place.

For a soul beast uprising to occur, there must at least be a qualified soul beast as a leader. There isn't even a thousand-year-old soul beast here, so it might have been done by a fallen one.

He must be patient, retain his strength, and wait for the mastermind to emerge.

“Hehehe, try this.”

Klein flipped open the human skin book and took out a stone with blood-red patterns from his arms. Five soul rings in the best configuration emerged from behind him, and a sinister light emanated from his eyes.

----------------

ps: It seems no one has discovered the clues I buried earlier, so sad

Two more chapters are here. I am quite satisfied with this plot. Although it has nothing to do with the protagonist, at least I think the characters are okay. I don't know if there are friends who have played chapters 2.6.5, , and of fgo. I want to shape these characters into the nameless cavalry, weak, ordinary, but able to give out the only little brilliance with all their strength, leaving hope for the future. Because these two chapters are the product of a literary youth disease, I decided not to read the comments. If you read them, I will be a dog.

Chapter 146 Giant God Sealing Arrow

"Is it an illusion?"

Zhu Zhuqing's guard covered his right arm, and a dark purple color spread upward along the wound on his arm. The man noticed this and used his soul power to press the dark purple color back to the wound.

"Hehehe, you don't look very well."

Klein walked over slowly with a sinister smile, holding a blood-red stone in his hand. A purple cloud of flame was swaying wantonly, and the yellow-green thing that looked like a facial organ showed a mocking expression. There was a hint of red in the place that looked like an eye.

"Why would a ten-thousand-year-old rock monster appear here?"

"Do you want to know? Do you want to know? Hehe." Klein did not hide the malice on his face. He held up the rock monster's keystone with madness on his face.

"It is said that a soul beast can only be formed when the soul of an evil person possesses a stone. Isn't it amazing?"

“You don’t know, do you?” Although the guard didn’t know why he didn’t have eyes, he always felt that the two dark holes on Klein’s face were like eyes of pity looking at him. “The rock monster is a soul beast that once brought disaster to the world, according to legend.”

"For a soul beast filled with malice, the most suitable food for its growth is the soul of pain and despair."

Klein's mouth widened, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. "Guess where those missing soul masters went?"

The guards didn't react much, but Zhao Jie and Rogers, who were listening nearby, reacted strongly.

"You guy!" Zhao Jie shouted and prepared to rush forward.

Rogers managed to remain calm. He held Zhao Jie, knowing that if the two of them rushed forward, not only would it be useless, but they might be killed instantly.

Being killed instantly was just a small matter. If Klein continued to let the soul beasts attack because of this, it would become a big problem.

They didn't know how Klein, as a human, controlled the soul beasts. But they instinctively judged that as long as Klein died, the beast tide crisis would be completely resolved.

"Hey, Captain of the Taixun Group, don't be so excited."

Klein turned his head and shook his finger at Zhao Jie. The rock monster's keystone in his hand fell to the ground under the influence of gravity, but it floated in the air under its powerful telekinesis.

"The guy named Zhao Wei from your group is a tough guy. It hurts so much to pull out his soul. He was in so much pain that he shed tears. But he didn't even scream until I pulled out his soul."

“But,” Klein spread his hands, “He’s dead, don’t think about it.”

"Come to think of it, you have two deputy commanders, right? The other one isn't here?" Klein raised his head, his nose slightly raised. "If he dies too, you'll be a brainless commander without any troops."

“Ah Wei!” Zhao Jie’s legs softened when he heard Klein’s words. He knelt on one knee on the ground, his voice filled with grief and indignation.

In fact, Zhao Jie had already been mentally prepared for Zhao Wei to encounter unexpected events long before the beast tide appeared, and this premonition became even stronger after Klein appeared.

But what if?
