Wayne said nothing and swallowed to suppress his shock. He held his breath and looked at William's palm. The light disappeared so quickly that he almost thought it was an illusion.
When he heard the urban legend, Wayne had a hunch that the world was not as simple as it seemed.
The scene just now undoubtedly confirmed his suspicion.
It's terrible. As an ordinary person, Wayne has noticed the malice from the world. Rather than the unknown magical style, he hopes that everyone will be as ordinary as him.
Unless, he is not ordinary either.
The book of greed!
At this moment, Wayne was more eager than ever to open the book.
"Who imprinted you?"
Facing William's question, Abel looked even more confused. After a moment, he thought of something, but when he started to tell the story, the death believer mark on the back of his hand suddenly changed.
Four tentacles extend from the left and right sides of the inverted triangle symbol, fangs and claws, like a simplified black spider.
The symbol penetrates deeply into the bone marrow and even the soul. It is far from being a simple tattoo on the surface. The toxins from the eight spider legs generally spread along the blood vessels, spreading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, occupying the entire arm.
Abel groaned in pain, seeming to be engaging in some kind of resistance and struggle. His facial features were twisted together. The more he struggled, the more painful he became. At this moment, let alone speaking, even breathing became extremely difficult.
William tightened his fingers, clasping Abel's wrist tightly like an iron pincer. The warm light lit up again, dispelling the darkness and driving back the eight spider legs.
Abel's moans immediately became comfortable, and at the same time, the Book of Greed expressed his desire again, making Wayne greedy.
Too bad, it's William.
Thanks to William's help, Abel's pain was greatly reduced and he returned to the state of dementia. He spoke and talked about a party in the warehouse district.
Abel didn't know much. He was not familiar with the Cult of Death. To be precise, he was not even a peripheral member. He was a believer who was developed incorrectly.
Because of his years of hard work, his steps were sloppy, his eyes were dull, and his skinny body looked lifeless. He was noticed by nearby believers of the Goddess of Death and mistakenly entered the stronghold in the warehouse area.
The other party had a large number of people, and Abel did not dare to resist. After drinking a glass of black rum, the mark of a follower of the Goddess of Death appeared on the back of his hand.
The information provided by Abel was dispensable. Only the stronghold in the warehouse area was worthy of in-depth investigation. Under William's questioning, Abel told a few more names.
Among them, the name of dockworker Pluto caught the attention of several people.
Mrs. Reiner, Abel, and Pluto are all related to each other. The death walker's aura in Mrs. Reiner's body most likely comes from Pluto. Even if he is not a real death walker, it will be an important clue.
"Let's go to the warehouse district!"
Veronica made a quick decision and walked out of the house with the black cat in her arms.
William knocked Abel unconscious, grabbed a blanket and covered him, turned around and chased after him.
Wayne was stunned on the spot, his intuition told him that it was dangerous to go here, and he would definitely regret it if he went, but if he didn't go...
I will regret it even more!
Thinking about this dangerous world and the unopenable book of greed, he gritted his teeth and followed.
"Shall we go to the warehouse district now?"
On the street, Wayne looked at his watch and said tangledly: "It's getting late, it's already dark in the warehouse district."
He rushed from the dock to Abel's apartment and then back to the warehouse area near the dock. It took a lot of time back and forth. Wayne refused to admit it, and deep down he was very resistant to Lundan's night. If possible, he would Hope to leave tomorrow morning.
William saw Wayne's thoughts and slapped him on the shoulder. His big hand was generous and strong, with amazing heat, and he squeezed: "You must have seen it. Yes, Veronica and I are both magicians. So the dark night is scary, but the moonlight will guide us and nothing will happen."
You just keep talking, why are you moving your hands and feet!
Also, it’s understandable that the beautiful girl Veronica is a magician. How come you, a muscular guy, become a magician? Can’t you recruit people?
Feeling William's strong and warm hands, Wayne's eyelids jumped and he said dryly: "I have only read descriptions of magicians in novels. I heard that it is difficult and requires high talent, so... I can Be a magician?"
"Yes, but first, you have to have your own beliefs." William said with a serious face.
"Shut up, you talk too much, don't involve ordinary people." Veronica interrupted coldly.
"I know, but Wayne has been involved. He has a strong sense of death, and the Death Walker has found him..." William refused to accept the words and spoke back, his voice getting smaller and smaller at the end of the words.
It was obvious that he was afraid of Veronica.
Wayne's eyes widened. What does it mean to have a strong sense of death? What does it mean that the Death Walker has targeted him? Please speak clearly when talking about life and death.
"Don't be afraid. Once the death cult stronghold in the warehouse district is destroyed, you will be safe in the future." William patted Wayne's shoulder again, and when Veronica wasn't paying attention, he injected a little light into Wayne's body.
Veronica glanced at William and said nothing.
————
In the taxi, Wayne said nothing and seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, flipping through the Book of Greed without anyone noticing.
The book is open!
William did not teach Wayne what magic was, but he set up a defensive magic on Wayne, a simple application of magic and faith, not complicated, to protect Wayne from the threat of death at critical moments.
Wayne didn't know this, and he didn't have time to know that the moment the light entered his body, the Book of Greed swallowed it in one gulp, as if he had obtained the key, allowing Wayne to browse the contents of the book.
Nothing to look at, almost all blank pages.
The good news is that Wayne's name is on the first page of the Greed Book. The bad news is that the book is too unfamiliar and far removed from Wayne's original intention of writing the code.
Wayne didn't know the reason and could only complain that Jose was mixing in private goods, or that a bunch of bugs had leaked out new features.
When Wayne wrote the Book of Greed, he added a lot of settings, such as title bonus, attribute doubling, full attribute immunity, alien gods, etc.
There is a setting called sacrifice, which is to sacrifice a player, obtain all the items in the other party's package, and freeze the account for seven days.
It is simple, rude and unreasonable, and seriously affects the balance of the game. However, as an exclusive artifact for administrators, it is understandable to be stronger, otherwise it will not be able to control the situation.
After all, it is the fourth natural disaster. If the administrator is not full of dignity, he will only be played by them into a soft body and full of righteousness.
Now, the setting of the Book of Greed is largely gray. I don’t know whether it is temporarily unavailable or has been permanently deleted. Even if there are fish that slip through the net, the effect will not be comparable to the original one. Taking sacrifice as an example, from the very beginning of offering a living being to now signing a contract with a certain living being.
Wayne tried, and his first choice was Veronica, but the contract failed and the plan to enslave the magical girl fell through.
Later, he reluctantly changed to William, but still failed. Even the black cat Monica couldn't succeed.
Wayne can understand that he cannot sign a contract with a magician or a magician's pet. He is too incompetent and is not qualified, but what the hell is it that taxi drivers and passers-by on the street can't sign a contract with either?
After finally activating the cheat, I was about to start a big fight, but the result was the same as not activating it, and I lost a magic!
Is the golden finger too badly cut, or is the user weak and incompetent?
The more Wayne thought about it, the more he was losing money. At this moment, the Book of Greed successfully captured a creature that could be signed.
No, it's a wraith!
On the blank page, a series of bloody codes appeared, and the contract was generated, waiting for Wayne's signature and confirmation.
Without hesitation, Wayne left his name on the contract in a flash of thought.
[Humble prayers, resentful dead in vain, I hear your wails...
Under the witness of the sacred contract, everything you have belongs to me. You can keep the past but lose the future...
You have been given a chance to be reborn, and you will become a spirit of vengeance, wielding the butcher knife for your master, your god, and me]
Wayne: (一`´一)
This thing, how should I put it, doesn’t sound like a good person!
