Chapter 840: Doomsday Messenger
Chapter 840: Doomsday Messenger
Looking at the black book in his hand, he felt the non-existent magical fluctuations on it.
Gary Townes quickly realized that this thing was not the "Book of Hell" at all.
It’s more like a notebook than a book!
Although there is a certain mysterious feeling, it is not a product of the "abyss" at all.
This isn't even... out of this world!
I was fooled?!
Why was it so easy to be fooled? Could it be that the other party had the means to interfere with my cognition?
It's too terrifying that a mental attack can affect me and I can't even figure out how the other party did it!
The most important thing is what the other party's purpose is in playing tricks on you.
Gary Thompson suddenly looked up and looked at Lin Yu.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Lin Yu looked at Gary Townsend's expression, which was finally no longer calm, and smiled with relief.
"I told you I don't like being watched—so, bye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu's figure disappeared, and at the same time, the black notebook in Gary's hand also disappeared.
At this time, Gary Townsend finally discovered what Lin Yu had done.
The snake under his feet had completely lost its life.
and……
Just like Gary Tontice didn't know how he was "disturbed", even Gary Tontice couldn't judge how this snake descendant died.
There were no new external injuries - but the soul of this snake-born had completely dissipated.
There is no trace of the soul ever existing in the body.
In Night Valley, which values soul-searching methods, this is almost the cleanest and most difficult method to track down and use this snake-born person.
"I really underestimated this guy, Schreiber... He's amazing!"
Gary Townes sighed, and then the disemboweled woman on the wall suddenly spoke.
"He's really amazing. Even you've been fooled by him... Haha, it's really funny!"
Gary Townes, who seemed very relaxed even after being tricked by Lin Yu just now, immediately felt like he was facing a great enemy when he heard this voice.
He pulled out the revolver in his hand and aimed at the woman's body on the wall. At the same time, he took out a silver cross pendant from his bosom with his right hand and placed it in front of him.
The woman looked at Gary Townsend and spoke again.
"Gary, Gary, the great Gary Townsend, it seems not everyone will act the way you imagine—you even helped him upgrade his props for free. Hey, you are really kind-hearted."
The woman's expression revealed a hint of schadenfreude amidst her regret, and her tone was also very lively.
But... seeing such expressions and words appear on a corpse with its internal organs removed is still creepy.
Gary ignored the other party's sarcasm and spoke in a cold voice.
"I was wondering why the abyssal aura is still so strong here. It turns out that besides the 'Soul of Original Sin' and the 'Third Pillar', you've also joined in the fun!"
"'Second Pillar', Oakfirst!"
The second pillar, whose name was instantly exposed by Gary Townes, the great demon from the abyss, manipulated the woman's corpse to raise its head, a vivid expression emerging on its face.
"If I hadn't come, I would have missed the scene where you were teased... Tsk tsk, if I hadn't seen this, I would have fallen into endless regret."
"Please stop your unnecessary sarcasm. I won't fall for it. Tell me, demon, why are you here?!"
Gary Townes' voice remained grim.
"Don't get so excited. I'm really just here to watch the fun. That kid is much more interesting than you think."
Oakfirst's words were full of temptation.
"Would you like to make a deal with me and let me tell you his secret?"
"Thank you, but I will investigate his secret myself."
Gary said coldly.
"This isn't our first deal, so why be so defensive? Why not listen to my offer first? I just need you to tell me the location of the bug that just escaped into the 'Abyss'."
Oakfest said and Gary raised an eyebrow.
"Then you really should help me keep that kid. If he hadn't killed the snakeborn, I could have pinpointed Netssanchi's location at any time."
"Yeah, it's a bit of a shame, but there's nothing we can do about it. He has a special identity," Oakfirst said, then slowly added, "But I don't need a specific location... Just tell me where you last sensed him in the abyss, okay?"
Gary thought for a moment, then nodded: "Deal."
The two of them were connected by magic, and an invisible temporary contract was reached at this moment.
"The last time I sensed Netssanchi and the Sinful Soul, I was on the north side of the Abyss' Undercurrent, near the Eye of Corruption."
Gary said so.
Oakfirst then spoke up, "From what I can gather, there's a 90% chance that Schreiber is the successor of the Messenger of Doom."
Gary's face showed a look of horror: "Your 'third pillar' of the abyss?"
"It is also the 'Sword of Judgment' of your human world."
Gary added.
"That's not important, but didn't that guy die?" Gary asked in confusion. "How could a successor appear at this point?"
"But that brat does possess both the [Golden Cross Medal] and the [Third Pillar Origin Crystal] awarded by the Inquisition. Combining the two gives me a 50% chance of success," Oakfirst whispered. "He can even tamper with notarized contracts signed by Pillar-level demons, making them unilaterally binding only on the other party. This is the main reason he's able to control the followers of the 'Original Sin Revenant'."
"Although you, as a human, may not understand this method as well as us Abyssal Demons, you have at least heard of it, right?"
Gary nodded solemnly.
"Then...it's understandable that the other party could deceive me."
"However, this thing is much more valuable than the Soul of Original Sin, even with the Book of Hell." Gary narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you worried that I'll tell all the powerful humans about this after I find out?"
"Just tell me," Oakfirst said. "That's exactly my purpose. Those who are qualified to inherit the Messenger of Doom won't be at your disposal as you wish!"
"You humans will pay the price for your arrogance."
Gary looked at Oakfirst: "I think this time it will be you, the Abyss, who will pay the heaviest price - just wait and see, demon!"
