Players’ NPC daddy.

Paper Greenland appears.

Chapter 642: The Disappearing Sheep Head, the Prototype of the Devil

Greenland clenched his hands, and his body felt unusually light, as if he had thrown away all his burdens.

She had indeed thrown away all her burdens. Not only did she have no equipment, but even her health points had been reduced to 1 point, the level of a piece of paper.

"Wow, I feel like I have nothing to fear now." Greenland's mouth twitched. The task of obtaining the [Twelve Beasts] is extremely difficult.

"Do we have to use paper man mode? I feel very strong."

"Inside are salt angels. Although they move slowly, they are completely immune to any damage. Moreover, their surface is covered with high-density salt crystals."

Blaze introduced the information about the Salt Angel to Greenland. When it came to the fact that the Salt Angel was completely immune to damage, he seemed helpless.

[Fatal Execution] He always encountered immortal monsters, and Lion Skin had rarely encountered serious sword attacks.

"Damn it, why did I collect these equipment?" Greenland walked towards the dungeon with tears in his eyes, and Blaze, who had always been in the front, finally acted as a normal NPC this time.

That is, the players are working hard in the front, while the NPCs are cheering them on from the back.

Greenland walked to the edge of the cliff and slid down the relatively flat slope next to it.

The previously blurry underground city became clear, and what became even clearer was the statue-like salt angels among the city streets.

These salt angels were motionless, but the ferocious expressions on their faces were lifelike. Normally, this would be followed by a scene where all the salt angels turned their heads at the same time to create a terrifying atmosphere.

But the salt angels were silent, and even when Greenland approached, nothing changed.

Obviously this is the second level of horror atmosphere, that is, when the protagonist walks into it, all the statues slowly turn their heads and create a super scary feeling.

It has to be mentioned here that with the rapid development of technology, horror games also have an open world mode.

There is no main storyline, the player just plays a character in a horror world story background.

Greenland also often plays such games. She has a [Survival Rules in the Horror World], and the third one is not to get close to statues that look lifeless.

Now she must violate.

Greenland gritted his teeth and shuttled through the salt angel statues. When in paper man mode, the player will be considered dead, and enemies that mainly sense life will not be hostile to players in this state.

Even though the Paper Man Mode has only been discovered for less than two days, players have already been using this mode to an incredible degree. Some even use the Paper Man Mode to skip classes and directly steal the rewards at the end of the level.

Greenland didn't think that the challenge was related to the Twelve Beasts, so he could skip classes by using the paper man mode. The designer must have taken countermeasures.

All it takes is an opportunity for these statue-like salt angels to start moving.

Greenland carefully avoided the salt angel and walked towards the direction that Blaze had previously pointed out to her - the central tower.

The Salt Angel did not react at all along the way, but Greenland could feel that there were pairs of eyes moving under the Salt Angel's crystal shell.

Finally, Greenland passed through the densely packed salt angels and successfully reached the tower. When he arrived at the tower, Greenland really understood why he had to use the paper man mode instead of just killing his way in.

Looking out from the center, the densely packed salt angels basically blocked all possible directions of escape.

Greenland took a deep breath and walked into the tower. The tower was also filled with salt angels, but at least there was a passage in the center that was similar to a dog hole.

"Climb."

Greenland lay on the ground without a care and drilled the only passage. Things went smoothly and Greenland noticed something was wrong. According to common sense, there should be some monsters to stop him, but including the salt angel, the whole city was empty.

An adjective suddenly popped into my mind.

[The building is deserted]

"is it possible?"

Greenland simply stood up straight and bumped into the Salt Angel.

The Salt Angel fell to the ground with a thud, without any sound.

"What's going on?" Greenland confirmed the abnormality she had noticed and immediately rushed inside with great force. She went straight to the top floor.

This was a completely dark room, and based on her experience in solving detective games, the black color around her was most likely blood.

This is an extremely ancient, bloody execution ground.

Of course, it is also possible that it was not an execution ground, but some kind of sacrifice.

Greenland approached the wall, stretched out his claws and scratched it, and a large piece of black dirt came off.

After falling off, these dirts simply turn into dust and disappear, and cannot be used as materials.

After the dirt fell off, some scratches were revealed on the wall.

"It looks like a carving." Greenland muttered to himself and began to clean the entire wall.

The first image appeared, a person with two horns on his head. In most works, people with two horns on their heads are usually demons.

Greenland frowned, his movements became more rough, and he swept vigorously. Finally, all the blood stains on the surrounding walls fell off, and a huge painting appeared in front of Greenland.

If I were to describe Greenland's feelings after seeing the giant painting in one word, it would be creepy.

This is a scene where a demon is flirting and showing his affection to a being.

The appearance of the demon at the edge is extremely vague, but the closer to the center, the clearer the description of the demon's face is. A few strokes of carving outline the image of a beautiful demon woman.

The existence of the center seems to be the center of the demons from the entire picture, and the reason why Greenland is so creepy also comes from this center.

Is it because the center looks scary? No, there is another kind of horror in this world, that is, there is nothing there.

The only thing missing from the entire painting was the center, a huge hole, as if the characters in the painting had left.

"Ah fight!"

Greenland kicked back hard, but there was nothing behind him. As in horror stories, the disgusting monster always attacks from behind.

Apparently there is no such routine here.

"Huh~" Greenland looked at the giant painting again, walked over, and observed the gaps in the painting.

It was a goat-headed man.

"No way." Greenland's eyes twitched. She had a feeling that the simple challenge was becoming complicated.

Sheep-headed man, goat-headed man, could that goat-head statue be the head of this goat-headed man?

Greenland covered her face in pain. She remembered a piece of information that she had previously thought was insignificant.

The angel monsters of the Holy Cross Theocracy disappeared, and as a result, a group of monsters called devil believers were born in the Holy Cross Theocracy.

The goat head is the original image of the devil, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the prototype of Satan.

Chapter 643: Demon Believers

Greenland came back with a gloomy face, but she still confirmed with Blaze without giving up.

"Have you seen the animal-head statue?"

Blaze thought Greenland was talking about the other animal head statues, so he nodded and said.

"I have seen it. Wow, it's amazing. It was inserted into the body of a god, and that god was originally a beast-headed god."

Greenland covered his face, put his hands on his hips, and finally lay on the ground like a corpse. Although the two people were not speaking on the same channel, they responded perfectly.

The sheep head statue I got has long legs. No, it has grown out of the body and walked away.

"Blazer, things are getting complicated..."

"How troublesome can it be? Can the sheep-head statue grow legs and run away?" Blaze made a joke, but after Greenland didn't respond for a long time, he felt that his joke was not funny anymore.

"real or fake"

Greenland sighed, lay down on his side, propped up his head, and looked decadent.

"Just looking at the scene, it's possible that someone stole the sheep-head statue before us. There's another possibility, that the sheep-head statue grew a body and walked out on its own. Which one do you want to believe?"

"Since you proposed the second one, it seems that you already have the basis for the second possibility." Blaze sat cross-legged on the ground, took out an apple from the warehouse and handed it to Greenland.

"Tell me about it."

"Do you know what happened recently in the Holy Cross Kingdom?" Greenland took the apple, took a bite, and the paper man's body also perfectly tasted the flavor of the fresh apple.

"No, not really." Blaze stuttered subconsciously, and he could feel his teeth knocking against each other.

Background 1: The reason why the Holy Cross Kingdom has maintained a unified faith for thousands of years is because there is a remnant of the Age of Gods named Theresa who has been operating behind the scenes.

And this Teresa was defeated by him not long ago and never appeared again.

Background 2: The territory of the Holy Cross is very [safe], and there are a large number of angel monsters roaming around in the territory of the Holy Cross.

These angel monsters will not attack humans, but instead target monsters and foreigners.

And because he had approached with the [Eight-Foot Water Mirror], these monsters all went berserk, revealing their true faces as demons. Now they are all standing in front of the Salt Angel statue in the dungeon not far away.

Well, the review of the previous situation is over. Now there are problems in the Holy Cross Theocracy. Who should bear the main responsibility?

But Blaze's rebuttal was a little pale. He was extremely stubborn before the whole matter came to light.

"What happened?"

"That's what happened. Some time ago, there was a split in the faith of the Holy Cross. It was probably because some people had different opinions on faith, and then they clung to each other because of these different opinions."

"It's nothing." Greenland simply sighed and waved his other hand helplessly, "But you know, some people have the ambition to sit on the cardinal's seat, but they don't have the ability. At this time, a large number of lost lambs with different beliefs appeared."

Even without Greenland saying what would happen next, Blaze could guess it.

"Those people gathered the lost lambs, established their own faith sect, and became the leaders."

"That's right. The problem is that in order to solidify their faith's image, they began to distort the image of their original faith. Eventually, the changes became increasingly distorted, leading to the formation of an evil cult. Some of its crazy believers even became monsters like demon worshippers."

Blaze covered his face with his hands and sighed deeply. At first glance, this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, his main activities were within the Giant Kingdom Alliance.

But if we take into account previous situation 1 and previous situation 2, then this matter is closely related to him.

"So...what does this have to do with your corollary 2?" Blaze tried a final struggle.

"Devil believers possess the power of the devil, and the oldest image of the devil comes from a sheep's head. Don't you think it fits well with a sheep's head statue?" Greenland sat up with force and scratched his head hard.

"I strongly suspect that the demon believers were given power by the demon man with the goat head statue. This also makes sense in terms of time. Of course, we still need other evidence."

If possible, she didn't want to do this kind of long-term plot now, but if she refused, she would really miss the sheep head statue.

And looking at Blaze's depressed look, she is obviously indignant about what happened to the Holy Cross Kingdom. If she refuses to get away at this time, Blaze will become a stranger to her in the future.

Don't do this kind of thing——

"Let's go and deal with the demonic believers of the Holy Cross!" Greenland decided to go all out and took the initiative to propose this matter.

"That's right, we shouldn't just let it go!"

At this moment, Greenland felt that he had made a hidden option in the strategy game, which increased the target's favorability to the maximum in one go.

The sky in Blaze, which was low pressure just now, suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.

"But before that, I have to confirm something first. You can come with me." Blaze stood up and waved towards Greenland.

The place that Greenland was taken to, of course, was the Pelion Caves. The Sun puzzle would reveal the location of the [12 Beasts]. If the ram-headed statue really moved, then the direction of the sun's movement would also change.

"Hidden area!? Ha! I knew there must be a hidden area in this place!" Greenland's eyes lit up. It seemed that she really made the best choice, and even the hidden area appeared.

Speaking of the Pyrion Cave, it is indeed the legendary heroic army, the Centaur Sage Chiron.

But what happened next blew Greenland's eyes, and she stepped from the medieval caves into the high-tech age.

"Ah? Ah~ah!" Greenland's voice rose and fell, but she quickly understood the situation.

This is a Shindai research room.

It's not surprising that Blaze brought her to this place, as this guy is wielding a greatsword that looks like a weapon made of God-era technology.

"I won't be surprised no matter what happens... Holy shit! Gundam Chiron!?"

Chiron turned off his mimic skin and revealed his metal shell, shocking Greenland again.

Greenland was shocked, and Chiron raised his hands to cover his chest embarrassedly.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you had guests coming?"

Chiron's reaction was as if he had been seen in plain clothes. He hid himself hastily. When he reappeared, he was already in the well-known Centaur state.
