Can't I develop my own character?

After leaving the headquarters, Ryan drove to Berman University. Shortly after getting off the car, he was stopped by someone.

"Dude, have you ever heard of 'Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God'?"

Chapter 40 Legendary Props, Ring of Death!

What god are you offering sacrifices to?

The four vendors from the trench are still chasing me!

Ryan subconsciously wanted to shoot the pagan, but when he looked again, he found that the other party seemed to be an ordinary person.

The young man in front of me was about twenty years old, about the same age as Jack, and must be a college student.

As for whether they are extraordinary people, after seeing them many times, you can still tell the difference between wild boars and domestic pigs.

Fanatics?

These days, there are many young people who are corrupted by some strange ideas. Among the cases handled by the Administrative Office every day, at least 30% are about pagan disturbances.

These pagans are not truly extraordinary people, they are just exposed to related beliefs for some reason. The lighter ones probably have a sudden outbreak of their second-year syndrome and want to destroy the world or something, and in the end they make a big fool of themselves, get caught and taught a lesson, and then go back to continue their honest lives.

In serious cases, some people are eroded by the power of foreign gods due to chance. Although they are not extraordinary people, their spirits are polluted, which is dangerous.

This kind of people's propaganda of foreign god beliefs can easily corrupt the people around them, and then their power grows stronger and stronger. This situation is the most common in the current expansion of foreign god religious forces.

However, the guy in front of me belongs to the former no matter how you look at it.

Ryan crossed his arms and nodded, "Go on, I'm listening."

"The great Blood God Doclodes is the god of war and glory. Do you know this? When the enemy's cavalry enters the empire's territory, when our people perish tragically at the hands of their guns, when we have lost all hope of victory, only the Blood God can save us!"

The young man said excitedly, "If you have heard of His name, come, please say it with me—Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God!"

"Yeah, what then?" Ryan took out his work notebook and wrote down what he had just said. "Anything else? How many people are there in your gang?"

"Wow, you're interested too, right?" The young man didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. He lowered his voice and said, "But this isn't the place to talk. Come with me, and I'll introduce it to you slowly!"

Ryan was about to say no, I'll take you to the bureau for an introduction, then he suddenly remembered something.

"Berman University... Wait, now I remember, isn't this a side quest in the game?"

He looked at the university gate and felt it was becoming more and more familiar. He hadn't reacted when Jack mentioned Berman University before, but now standing here, memories of the dead kept flooding back to him.

Side quests, super props!

There's no way. He has lived in this world for more than twenty years. Although he has only recently awakened his past life memories, after all, both his past and present lives are him. There are too many mixed memories, which makes it difficult for him to remember some things clearly.

Like the side quests in the game, you really can’t remember them unless you see them with your own eyes.

"Young man, does your school have an old campus?"

The young man was stunned: "You are not from our school?"

"No, my brother is. I'm here to see him."

"I see. That doesn't matter. We in the Blood God Cult never look at status. As long as you also sincerely believe in the Blood God, we are half-brothers!"

Who the hell is your brother? Ryan complained in his heart.

"As for the old campus you mentioned, hehe~ Not only is it there, it's also our Blood God Cult's secret base... Come on, come on, I'll take you there!"

College students are very enthusiastic.

Ryan originally thought he would need his student ID or something, but the gatekeeper didn't even look at him.

Beyond the gates, a main road opened up, flanked by lush camphor trees. It was evening, and students were streaming in and out, chatting and laughing in the sunset. In the June weather, skirts fluttered along the roadside, and Ryan sighed—college life must be good.

"Huh? Captain Ryan? Why are you here?"

Just as Ryan was enjoying his youth, Jack came towards him, carrying his schoolbag and preparing to go home.

Berman University allows students to go home at night.

"Captain?" The college students around him gave him a puzzled look.

Ryan chuckled, "This is a special name for us brothers, Jack boy, of course I came to see you."

He glanced at Jack as he spoke.

"Ah, I'm...um, I'm Jack-boy. Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?"

What a strange name! Captain Ryan's ability to come up with names is really not that good.

"I told you to go back and eat, but this brother said he wanted to take me to experience the greatness of the Blood God... Brother, my younger brother is also very interested in these things, so why not take him along?"

"Of course!"

The university student had no doubts. He was happy that Ryan had won over another person. "Come, follow me. We'll be there soon. We have a sacrifice at seven o'clock!"

“That’s just fantastic.”

Ryan wrote the words 'illegal gathering, pagan sacrifice' in his notebook.

The college student leaned over and asked: "What are you writing?"

Ryan calmly closed his notebook and said, "Nothing. I just wrote down your famous quote and I'll tell it to my brothers later."

"Hey, I didn't say anything famous. I'll introduce you to the priest of the Blood God Cult later. He's the greatest orator!"

The college students couldn't wait and quickened their pace.

Jack glanced at Ryan and wisely said nothing more.

As a sheriff, he's here to investigate cases, but when did so many pagan fanatics appear in their school?

After about ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the old campus of Berman University.

As the sun sets, the street lights emit a pale light. The entire old campus has been completely out of use and looks eerie under the night sky.

Ryan remembered that a major fire had broken out in this old campus many years ago, and the fire had covered one-third of the territory of the original Berman University. Later, the core area that was most severely damaged was blocked off, and over time it became the old campus.

For some unknown reason, the college leaders did not dare to renovate the old campus, and it has remained like this until now.

It was mentioned in the side quest that the fire was actually a cult sacrificial act, which killed hundreds of students and shocked the entire city.

The extraordinary relics dropped during the sacrifice attracted competition from a large number of extraordinary people, but their whereabouts were ultimately unknown.

"That's our territory!"

The college student pointed to an abandoned building not far away.

That place is located on the outskirts of the old campus, so it is relatively well preserved.

"Is everyone else here?" Ryan asked.

"Of course. We agreed to meet at seven o'clock. Everyone should be here by now."

"That's fine." Ryan walked to a nearby public telephone booth, inserted a copper coin, and dialed the duty phone number of the administrative headquarters. "It's me, Ryan. Bring some people to the old campus of Berman University... Okay, a dozen or twenty will be enough."

The college student stood aside, confused.

what happened?

Jack patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, it will be over soon."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Wait a moment, some of my brothers are coming too... Jack, wait here and don't let him wander off."

"Okay, leave it to me!"

"Eh??? What's going on? What are you doing holding me down???"

After handing the college student over to Jack, Ryan walked through the blockade of the old campus and headed deeper.

He walked along a weed-covered road.

I have a very deep impression of this mission. After all, it was on campus, the old campus, and it was at night, so the horror elements were full.

But he is now a superhuman, and he still has a character card, so he doesn't have to worry even if he is attacked by evil spirits.

However, he wasn't quite sure where the thing was.

It's pitch dark, and the operation is definitely different from the game. If it wasn't here, it would be more appropriate to let "Lin Qi" come over.

"Ok?"

"This should be a place for sacrifices. I remember it was on the west side... Got it, that's it."

A house that had been burned to ruins appeared in the field of vision, and to the west were desolate ruins with only a few burned walls on them. The house had collapsed and turned into rubble.

Ryan found an inconspicuous door handle on one of the walls. After pulling it open, he saw a staircase sloping downwards.

This is a basement.

Because the place was very hidden, Ryan spent quite a while looking for it.

The basement was pitch black. He took out the lantern he had prepared in advance from his gaming backpack. This thing was originally meant for 'Xia Li', but he didn't expect to use it himself.

The lantern illuminated the stairs. The ancient gray ground was covered with dust. Ryan carefully stepped down and observed the surroundings.

The reason why I dared to come in alone was because this side quest belonged to the early stage of the game. The monsters encountered in the game were not of high level, and there would be no danger even if I encountered them. The worst case scenario was that I would use up my character card.

However, that extraordinary item is quite good. It is an "upgradeable" equipment that can be used to complete the game.

The basement is not wide. After going down the stairs, there is a room less than 30 square meters on the right, which is equipped with bookshelves, tables and various daily necessities.

There was a bed inside with a skeleton lying on it.

Woohoo~

A gust of cold wind blew.

The wind blew and made the lantern shake twice.

Where does the wind come from in the basement?

Ryan stared at the skeleton.

[The usurper never stops offending, and we all know that this thing is extremely evil. I have spent my entire life burying it. Dawn, grant me the power of eternal protection! ]

The voice sounded like an old man's low cry. To be honest, Ryan was still a little scared when he suddenly heard someone talking in the gloomy basement.

Kakakka~

As he expected, the skeleton suddenly moved.

This side quest can only be accepted by low-level characters. Once you pass it, you can no longer obtain it. The overall difficulty is not high, but it is still a bit difficult for low-level characters.

The skeleton holds an axe with golden flames burning on it.

Dawn and golden fire are all symbols of the Son of the Sun. Ryan was a little curious about how the other party had sustained them for so many years.

"Try it first."

He didn't rush to use the character card. He stretched out his right hand, and a silver-white cross sword extended from his body and was held in his hand.

Since there are no outsiders around, there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Ryan also wanted to try out how powerful this thing was.

"bring it on!"

Swish!

Ryan slashed with his sword.

Then, the silver-white flame burst into a dazzling light, and under Ryan's surprised gaze, the cross sword slanted down along the skeleton's body, cutting off the axe that the latter used to block, and splitting the entire body into two!

Wow~~

The skeleton instantly turned into a pile of skeletons.

"Fuck, so fierce?!"

One sword, dead?

This skeleton is at least level 14 or 15, and is a small boss, right?

In surprise, Ryan felt a sense of exhaustion coming from his body. The magic power in his body was like a pool that had been drained... not a drop was left!

"call!"

He sat down on the ground and it took him a while to recover.

"This sword... is ridiculously powerful, but it can only be used once. After one strike, it completely loses its combat effectiveness. If it kills, it's fine. If it doesn't, I'll die."
