Under the pale moonlight, there was no sound in the forest.

Duanmu Huai held a war hammer in his hand and strode through the dark forest. The headlight illuminated the dark forest passage, and he could clearly see the broken stone pillars entangled by the vines in front of him.

right here.

Duanmu Huai stared at the stone pillar, his eyes becoming solemn.

After all, the elf scout was engaged in intelligence, and was still more proficient than Alyssa in this regard. Although she did not understand what Duanmu Huai wanted to do, she still provided Duanmu Huai with information on several haunted locations near the City of Silver.

Including this forest of falling moon.

According to the elf scouts, this forest was once the home of an evil necromancer a long time ago. Later, the necromancer was eliminated by soldiers. Then there were rumors of being haunted here - of course, not only

Just rumors, mercenaries, traders, and patrols have all reported hearing frightening wailings and screams here, and some have witnessed lights and music coming from deep in the forest.

The lord also sent people to investigate, but there was no response. After that, the place was abandoned.

Duanmu Huai came here, of course, not because of curiosity or as simple as completing a side mission. On the contrary, he came here to find the power to defeat the God of Filth.

Among the evil gods of chaos, the God of Filth is actually one of the most difficult gods to deal with - although even the evil gods of Chaos are difficult to deal with, if Duan Muhuai is to rank him, the God of Filth can at least be ranked second in difficulty.

.

The reason lies in its nature.

Generally speaking, when most people see the spread of viruses and plagues, they will think that the God of Filth is a symbol of death and destruction. However, in fact, this is not the case at all. Although the God of Filth is not as powerful as the God of Tyranny, nor is he cunning.

God's weird magic, but he is unique in manipulating and deploying viruses that are invisible to the naked eye. There are even rumors that all viruses in the world, from colds to plagues, are all the work of the God of Filth.

.

Not only that, the God of Filth is also quite "philanthropic". Unlike other evil gods whose believers have to go through many tests and even baptism of blood and fire before they can be recognized, the God of Filth does not refuse believers who come, whether they are beggars or emperors.

, whether they are nobles or warriors, the God of Filth will open his corrupt and smelly arms, embrace these poor little lives in his arms, and give them equal love.

Even for them, spreading viruses is not an evil act. On the contrary, they believe that spreading viruses and making other people infected with diseases and plagues is a way to join their warm and friendly family that treats everyone equally regardless of class, race, etc.

Means. Even those who die will not be abandoned. Their corpses will decay and then nourish new life, contributing to the life cycle of this world.

Life is endless.

Therefore, among players, the God of Filth is also nicknamed "Loving Father" and "God of Life and Hope" (Dog Head).

This is also true. Strictly speaking, from the perspective of the virus, the God of Filth is indeed a kind father, but——its values ​​are incompatible with ordinary people.

This is like raising pets. Most people like to raise cats and dogs, but some people like to raise maggots. They don’t care about raising maggots. They also think that raising maggots is the right thing for them, and they require everyone to be with them.

Raising maggots together......that's the problem.

Therefore, as the "God of Life", the "God of Filth" is difficult to repel with ordinary methods. Even divine magic and holy light do not have a very good effect on its believers. Because even these

The believers' bodies are rotten, with pus-oozing swellings everywhere, and they look disgusting. They are still endless living creatures, just like maggots, flies, and mosquitoes - the Holy Light cannot have an effect on these things.

Therefore, there are only two best ways to completely eliminate the followers and the army of the God of Filth.

One is to use fire. As long as they are all burned, then there will be no problem.

In fact, after wiping out the Plague Apostles, Duanmu Huai also asked the elf scouts to set up a fire in order to disinfect his power armor, and then burned it under the blazing flames for a long time, and did not come out until he was sure that the disinfection was complete...

Another way is to use the death power of the undead.

The death power of the undead acts on the soul level. It can completely extinguish the flame of life and turn all life into a silent land of death. Even viruses and even bacteria are no exception. In the face of the complete power of death, there is no

Life can survive.

It can be said that death is the best weapon to deal with the god of filth and his followers. Because no matter how ugly and dirty they are, they are still alive - and the flame of life cannot escape the wind of death.

Of course, it is not easy to deal with the undead. Both the Conquer the Undead and Conquer the Vampire decks are dangerous, because the undead are dead objects, and ordinary physical attacks are useless against them. At least you need weapons or magic with elemental attacks.

Instead of fighting, otherwise, going in will just serve food.

Duanmu Huai himself only knows one psychic skill: psionic impact, but fortunately his thunder war hammer comes with lightning element damage, and the doll deck is also regarded as part of the magic skills. Using dolls to deal with the undead is not a good idea.

No big problem.

I just don’t know if the ones here are undead or vampires.

From a certain point of view, vampires are more difficult to deal with than the undead, but it is not without good things - if the player is transformed into a vampire, it is basically equivalent to being immune to the virus of the filthy god. In fact, in the game, many players are

Before attacking the world of the God of Filth, they would be deliberately bitten by vampires to transform themselves into undead creatures to become immune to the virus attacks of the God of Filth.

At worst, wash it back after you finish it.

In reality, there is no such good thing.

Duanmu Huai did not think that the elf scout's information was wrong. The reason was simple. Just when the elf scout told him about this place, Duanmu Huai triggered the mission of "Investigating Luoyue Forest".

Since there is a mission, it means there is indeed something here.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai walked forward again, while Ogis was as always, silently following him like a shadow - this doll girl has not said a word since she was summoned.

Duanmuhuai feels like a robot.

Well, although from a certain perspective, she is indeed a robot.

Walking past the collapsed stone pillars, Duanmuhuai soon saw a dilapidated foreign-style mansion. It was a four-story stone building. It seemed that it had been hit by a fire. The entire mansion was scorched black and collapsed everywhere.

The gravel. The surroundings were unusually quiet. Although it was in the forest, there was no sound of birds or insects at all, not even the sound of wind. It was as if the sounds of the world had been completely blocked.

"There seems to be nothing here..."

Duanmuhuai walked to the gate and looked inside. The entire mansion was already empty. Even most of the walls had collapsed. It looked like a rotten corpse with almost only a skeleton left. Even if it was just standing there

Outside, you can easily see the dilapidated rooms in the mansion that are covered with vines and weeds.

"……………………"

However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai's ears suddenly caught the faint sound of sobbing. He frowned, looked around, and then looked at Ogis.

"Ogis, did you hear anything?"

"………………"

Faced with Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Ogis shook her head, and Duanmuhuai raised his head again. The cry seemed to be absent, and even made people wonder if it was his own hallucination - but Duanmuhuai knew very well.

This is not an illusion.

It seems that we have found the right place.

The corners of Duanmu Huai's mouth raised slightly, and then he raised his right hand.

Activate——soul resonance!!

The next moment, the scene in front of Duanmuhuai suddenly changed.

The originally dark and dilapidated mansion instantly turned into a brightly lit building. The shining lights emerged from the windows, illuminating the entire mansion. The courtyard that was originally covered with weeds also became completely different at this time.

Not far away, a man with a haggard face was standing next to a tombstone, staring at the tombstone in front of him without saying a word.

Even if Duanmuhuai and Ojisi came to him, the man still didn't notice it - this is normal. The man is just an afterimage in this space, just like the puppet master in the puppet house before.

, Duanmu Huai can see him, but cannot interfere with him.

However, what the man did next surprised Duanmu Huai. He suddenly picked up the pickaxe next to him and smashed it hard on the tombstone in front of him!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The man waved his hands like crazy and smashed the tomb in front of him to pieces. Then he opened the coffin inside and hugged the girl lying inside tightly.

"My daughter, you will not die, I will not let you die like this!"

After saying this, the man turned around, picked up the girl's body, and walked into the mansion.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was also curious and followed the man into the mansion. However, the moment he opened the door and walked into the mansion, the scene in front of him changed again.

In the living room in front of Duanmu Huai, a beautiful girl with long purple hair was curled up in the man's arms, looking at the painting book in front of the burning fireplace. She was almost the same as the corpse that the man had dug out from the grave.

They were exactly the same, except that now there was a huge bolt-like thing on the girl's head. The man was gently telling his daughter the story in the picture book.

"...In the end, this monster has no fixed place to live because it pursues the same existence as itself..."

"It always feels like...it's a very sad story..."

After listening to the man's story, the girl showed a somewhat sad expression. The man smiled and reached out to touch the girl's head.

"Yeah, but it's amazing that you can understand this. I won't make you sad, I will make you a perfect existence..."

"Um!"

Hearing the man's words, the girl nodded happily.

"Father, can you read other stories to me?"

"Of course, but it's already late today. It's time for the good boy to go to bed."

"Okay, father, good night."

The girl stood up, then turned and left. The man smiled and watched the girl's back go away. After she disappeared, the man sighed. Then, he threw away the picture book in his hand and died.

He hugged his head.

"It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this!!"

The man at this moment completely lost the gentleness and calmness he had before. Instead, he was like a trapped beast, clutching his head and roaring in a low voice.
