I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

"Ho ho..." There was a noise in the jungle, and a faint murmur appeared in Su Chen's ears, making his body in the armor give off goose bumps.

Eric pulled out the long knife stuck in the soil and held it in his hand and said slowly: "Be careful, they are coming!"

Su Chen did not ask any more questions but pointed his gun directly at the source of the sound. As the noise in the jungle became more intense, several hunched and rotten corpses pounced towards the two men.

'Bang bang bang...'

Without waiting for Eric to step forward to fight, Su Chen cleared the field with three shots assisted by the armor, and ended the battle with a precise headshot with each shot.

"I thought it was some powerful monster. It scared me."

Eric: '...nice weapon'

Seeing that Su Chen's fighting ability was not weak, Eric's aura became noticeably softer and he became more talkative.

With Eric's explanation, Su Chen had a basic understanding of the island.

Although this place is called an island, its area is extremely large and it is completely a small continent.

However, there is no country here. Instead, the island is controlled by a Holy See. Due to the abundant fishery resources, people actually live a pretty good life.

But all the good things collapsed in an instant under the erosion of the dark curse. The curse is invisible. Once the curse is entangled in the ears, whispers will continue to echo. The infected people often cannot hold on for long before going mad and degenerating, and eventually turning into bloodthirsty monsters, cold-blooded people.

Even the once prosperous central city of Mithringa was breached and turned into a monster's lair and paradise under the siege of the cold-blooded army. In the end, only the Holy City of the Church in mid-air was spared, and the people in other cities could only find their own way out and resist in various places to survive.

This is also the reason why Eric saved Su Chen. There are curses and persecutions inside and cold-blooded slaughter outside. There are not many living people in the entire Nova Island. It is a feeling of loneliness that makes the fox mourn the death of the rabbit.

If a tough person has not communicated with his own kind for a long time and is constantly disturbed by the curse, he will sooner or later suffer a mental breakdown and be cursed and alienated if he does not die at the hands of the cold-blooded people.

I don't think I heard any whispers...

[That was because I helped you block it, which consumed a lot of my energy. You must find energy as soon as possible, otherwise you will also be infected with the curse when my energy is exhausted.]

Me? Him?

[Yes, he has been infected with the curse, and has been infected by more than 50%, but there is a very evil force that helps him suppress the curse. His body cannot withstand the torment of these two forces for too long.]

[Follow him, he is a man of great luck, no matter he succeeds or fails, you as a partner will get considerable benefits. The premise is that you can bear it...]

Su Chen asked curiously: What can you withstand?

[You will know when the time comes. Some things can only be believed and remembered if you experience them yourself.]

Without further ado, Su Chen asked Eric directly, "So what can you, or we, do now?"

Eric looked back at him and raised an eyebrow: "You want to join me?"

"Ah? That's right! You saved my life, so if I don't help you, I'd owe you a big favor."

"Hehe..." Eric laughed softly, and finally said: "Although I can't trust a stranger I just met, I think I have no reason to refuse if you want to follow me."

'My destination is very dangerous. It is the Research Hall of the Inquisition in the city of Mislinga. Dr. Herman lives there and also purchases samples of various cold-blooded monsters for research.'

Su Chen asked in confusion: "Didn't they say that Mislinga City has become a paradise for monsters? Has it been recaptured again?"

'No. '

Eric shook his head: "Monsters are still rampant, and powerful monsters can be seen everywhere, but Dr. Herman has a way to survive in such an environment. No one knows how he did it."

'But everyone knows and believes that he can make a potion to remove the curse. I... need this thing very much.'

"It seems we have a reason to go." Su Chen shrugged.

......

'Ding! '

'Pfft! '

Outside the city of Mislinga, a silver-white arm armor blocked the sharp claw attack of the incoming cold-blooded zombie. Sparks appeared at the intersection of the two. A long sword accurately pierced the zombie's heart through the gap left by the blocked claw. At the same time, the blocking arm armor extended an arm blade across the opponent's head.

The corrupt and twisted head shot up into the sky, and a large amount of dark purple poisonous blood spurted out from the gap, staining the silver-white armor.

'Huff huff...'

Su Chen took a deep breath and cursed in his heart: "What the hell is going on? Why are all the monsters coming towards me? Isn't he a human? Is he a human? Why don't you bite him!"

[This is the power of people with great luck. Potential dangers will disappear, and direct dangers will be transferred. This is also the reason why most of them are alone. The more dangers they encounter, the faster the people around them will die.]

"Then I am being used as a shield. Why bother?"

[There is no exchange without reason and loss in the world. If you protect him from disaster, his luck will naturally feed back to you. As long as you can hold on and not die, you will become stronger and stronger, and your progress will be faster and faster. Everything you do will go smoothly.]

[But the premise of all this is that you can survive beside him. If you die, then all your own luck will be transferred to him, further increasing his luck.]

[Compared to his other teammates and relatives who died early, you have a greater advantage, that is me. Every time you help him resist a disaster, when the luck feeds back to you, I can take the opportunity to draw more, roughly five to ten times more than other people, the specific amount depends on the severity of the crisis.]

"Fuck! Then I'll just keep getting beaten."

The system's voice was rarely filled with pity: [You should blame yourself for this. To be honest, I have never seen such an unlucky person like you. You are born with worse luck than ordinary people. If it weren't for me, you would have been left dead in the wilderness long ago.]

[People with bad luck always run into problems when they shouldn't. If you want to avoid this, you can't leave him. Don't you want to be the lucky one? ]

Su Chen: “…”

Thanks, I'm offended.

Eric on the side was also a little puzzled as to why he was so relaxed, but he didn't think too much about it. If the monsters didn't bother him, he could just go and cause trouble for the monsters. And with Su Chen, the MT who had turned on taunt to fight the monsters, it was much easier for him to clean up the monsters that usually ganged up on him.

The two, one on defense and one on offense, cooperated well with each other.

But it was Su Chen, who accepted the blessing of faith from Medea and became a quasi-Templar.

Normally, there is no apparent effect, but once he enters into battle, the speed of recovery of his physical strength and wounds becomes extremely abnormal, and he also has extremely strong resistance to negative states.

He is basically immune to the cold-blooded people's fancy poisons, hallucinations, mental attacks, etc., and the biggest troublesome curse and muttering are offset by the system, which makes him seem so tough and capable.

If it were a local native who could exert 7% of his normal strength despite so many negative effects, he would have to be a master with extremely high attainments in a certain field. Ordinary people could only exert % at most, and still have to endure the mental pollution of the mumbling.

This is also the main reason why the human influence in Nova Island has shrunk so drastically.

However, although Su Chen did not have to fear those unpredictable debuffs, the deeper he went into the city of Mislinga, the more he encountered monsters and their attack methods, which made him gradually unable to hold back.

Especially when he was accidentally ambushed by a ghost-like creature hiding in the shadows with its upper body full of rolling eyeballs, his mentality almost collapsed.

The upper body split open and swallowed him directly into its stomach. The ultra-clear lens of the low-light night vision device and the infinite slow motion of the biological intelligence, the densely packed fine teeth on the raised flesh balls in the pink chamber, plus the strange feeling of being wrapped in slippery, the multiple sensory stimulations superimposed on each other made Su Chen kneel down and vomit madly the moment he came out of the stomach.

He didn't even have time to open the visor of his helmet. A large amount of filth gushed out from the exhaust holes around his neck, mixing with the colorful digestive fluid of the rotten flesh on his body.

Even Eric, who had lost most of his sense of smell and taste after being infected by the curse, couldn't stand this horrible sight and hid far away. Although he couldn't smell it, he could see it!

It's as disgusting as it can be...

"Yue... why are you hiding! This thing just went straight for you, why the hell are you hiding!!! Ugh..."

Eric was speechless and said, "I can hide from you, why can't I? Don't you want to?"

Chapter 452 Hu Meizi!

Su Chen, who was in a bad mood after this incident, started to kill people indiscriminately. He kept trying to exaggerate his presence, thinking that as long as he was conspicuous enough, he would not be ambushed by any disgusting creature.

It’s true that this method does have some effect. However, looking at the densely packed things flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, and floating in the air, he couldn’t help but swallowing his saliva several times.

Actually, he had a high resistance to deformities. After all, the things created by the Miracle of Pain were disgusting to death. But... he obviously underestimated the sensory stimulation that this area infected by the so-called curse could bring to him.

Not to mention the half-orcs flying in the sky with their spines drooping, or the ones who could use their eyeballs as missiles to continuously launch explosions, just stepping on the poisonous area made of hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys on the ground was enough to make him feel sick for most of the day.

Fortunately, he had replenished his stock of thermite grenades and napalm bombs. During the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, a napalm bomb that could cause a local sea of ​​fire helped him and Eric isolate the monster group. Led by Eric, the two successfully entered the Inquisition Research Center and met Dr. Herman as Eric mentioned.

But when Su Chen saw Dr. Herman for the first time, he found something abnormal in the physical scan of the other party provided by the head camera.

Eric took two steps forward and said, "Dr. Herman, I..."

'Stay away from me!!!'

Dr. Herman shouted and looked at Eric in fear and horror. He saw at a glance that the other party had been cursed: "Don't come over, don't force me!"

Eric took two steps forward subconsciously, somewhat confused, and said, "Dr. Herman, your condition is very bad."

Herman, who had been cursed and contaminated and was on the verge of his mental limit, finally lost his sanity with the assistance of Eric's last two steps. He pulled out a needle from his arms and injected himself in the neck.

His blood boiled instantly, his reason was swallowed by the animal nature, his body expanded violently and stretched into a tall and thin strange inhuman being entangled in blood-colored tentacles. His right arm turned into a huge and sharp bone knife, and he attacked the two with bloodshot eyes.

Su Chen already had mature experience in dealing with this kind of thing. He found the right angle and took advantage of Herman's attack to leave an open defense and threw a white phosphorus bomb at the opponent. The smell of burnt protein and chemical odor mixed together in the rising flames, forming an indescribable disgusting smell.

When Herman turned into a pool of thick water and died completely, Eric knelt down beside the blood and murmured: "It's over... I have no hope anymore."

He had gone to great lengths to break in here just so that Dr. Herman could prepare the antidote. Now that everyone is dead, who is going to do it?

Just as the two were staring at the blood in silence, a slight noise attracted Su Chen's attention. He did not say anything but clenched his sword and rushed towards the source of the sound at an extremely fast speed: "Byd, you're still trying to sneak attack me, right? I'll chop you into eight pieces!"

"Ah!!!" A soft and tender scream made Su Chen subconsciously stop his movements, and the tip of the sword in his hand just stopped in front of the other person's white forehead.

The girl slumped on the ground was wearing a nun's uniform. She was looking at Su Chen in horror with big blue eyes under her flaxen long hair. Her pale lips slightly opened and closed, revealing her neat white teeth. Her trembling breasts, which could not be concealed by the conservative nun's uniform, brought cleansing to the eyes that had been defiled for some time.

Especially because of the long white legs that were exposed when she sat on the ground, Su Chen's heart was moved: "Hello, this white, ugh, this young lady, who are you?"

In fact, Su Chen was not so perverted. He was just mentally tense during this period. In addition, the people who had abused and trained them happened to be nuns, which made him have some different thoughts amidst his resentment.

The fighting power and psychology of the nuns in Seris are so abnormal, the nuns in other places should not be like this, this one is so weak, I want to bully her severely at first sight...

'You are a human, not a monster? My name is Annabella, and I am Dr. Herman's assistant.'

The look of panic slowly disappeared, Annabella climbed up from the ground with the help of Su Chen's outstretched hand and replied in a low voice.

'I tried to find a cure for the pollution and helped Dr. Herman with his research, but he's become more and more insane lately, and what he's researching has nothing to do with the antidote, and I can't handle it alone... Then he locked me up, and I just managed to escape.'

As she spoke, she stretched out her tender white little hand and pointed to the end of the corridor, where there was an open cage that confirmed her words.

Eric also came over, and Annabelle saw him and said subconsciously: "It's you."

'Um? '

Seeing Eric's puzzled expression, Annabelle sighed: "It's because of you that Dr. Herman became like this..."

It turns out that there is a core made of special matter in Eric's body, which was named the Pluto Core by Dr. Herman.

After Dr. Herman's research, he discovered that this pluto core is an unstable energy with its own will and life. It absorbs the memories of many people, but not humans.

It also emits shadow whispers with corrupting intentions, which not only infects the host with a curse like other monsters in the outside world, but also greatly strengthens the body and exerts extraordinary power.

This is the power that Dr. Herman wanted to pursue, but his attempt to artificially create the Hades Core failed, and he ended up with that fate.

However, this also gave Annabell another inspiration, that is, if there is no antidote for Eric's situation, then using the Hades core to absorb the power of the curse as an alternative method is a new solution.

By feeding on curses, one can enhance one's own strength while also expelling the source of pollution, killing two birds with one stone.
