Jiang Nuo leaped up and sat on the now-extinguished bookshelf, leaning back casually and gazing up at the demon.
"Therefore, there are no longer any living humans in this town."
There was no fear whatsoever; it was as if I were chatting with a friend.
The demon looked down at him, his eyes filled with a strange light. "It was me. I made them immortal."
Jiang Nuo already knew the answer.
He stood up, seemingly bored, and paced back and forth on the narrow bookshelf, muttering to himself.
"You bosses are just as stubborn and inflexible as the system."
"The entire town was massacred; it's a terrible tragedy."
The demon roared angrily, "Don't waste your time! You wretched player, you must complete the solo quest now!"
What's the rush? I still have questions.
Jiang Nuo stopped and looked up at the demon. "You, a demon who fell out of a dungeon, know far too much about the church culture here."
What kind of church culture is this? Even the devil wouldn't understand what Jiang Nuo is saying.
"These are the rules I set, rules that have existed since I was born!"
Jiang Nuo smiled knowingly.
No wonder Si Yan said that everything here is the opposite of what the church does, derived from dungeon rules that are specifically designed to kill people, it really is the opposite.
Thank you for your answer, farewell.
The words had barely left his mouth when his pupils changed from a faint red to a blood-red, and as he leaped up, he grabbed a handful of...
A butcher's knife.
[Holy crap, hahaha!! This knife is just like the one my second uncle, who raises pigs, has!!]
[I'm dying of laughter! God Nuo's weapons are always so unpredictable! I'm laughing so hard I'm practically collapsing.]
Why use a big sword to kill a demon? Hahaha!
The demon roared, "You're going to complete a solo mission! Anyone who breaks the rules dies!"
"I don't."
Jiang Nuo, with her rebellious spirit, smiled slyly, "Rules are meant to be broken."
He swung the knife wildly, abandoning his usual agile movements, wielding the butcher's knife with extreme savagery.
As the fight went on, the demon started to get a little scared.
After all, they had heard of this man's reputation; many of their monster brothers had died at his hands, and that eye... that eye... it definitely belonged to that lord!
That's too cruel, absolutely too cruel.
It's not that it's afraid of death, but it's a monster with a strong moral compass; everyone can die, and so can it.
But you must follow the rules and find the correct method to kill! Otherwise, you're violating the game rules!
"I hate people who don't follow the rules! Go back!"
The demon roared, the transparent membrane separating the library was ripped open, and the demon directly drove Jiang Nuo out.
"Humans, you haven't found a way to kill me yet, which disappoints me greatly!"
The three people outside. "..."
Qi Lin: "It's... actually a very law-abiding demon."
Si Yan caught Jiang Nuo as she threw herself into his arms, then shrank back into them listlessly, glancing at the demon who had returned to the portrait with an unfriendly look.
But you can't get in. Just like the demon said, if you want to kill it, you have to find the corresponding rules and methods.
Jiang Nuo sheathed the butcher knife and leaned on Si Yan's shoulder, seemingly lost in thought.
"So, should we then look for a way to kill it?" Qi Lin asked, "So that no monsters will stop us from exploring the Dragon Vein."
Qi Cang spoke up at the opportune moment, "Before we came, the little girl said that what we had to do was kill the boss, kill the descendant of the wizard."
If the little girl is acting as a guide, then what she says is very likely to indicate the task that will be completed next.
"I have a question," Si Yan asked Jiang Nuo softly, "The demon just said that everyone here is immortal."
"That is, death in the secular sense. So, what about the people underground in the church? Were they dead too?"
Jiang Nuo held up one finger, "A real but unreal town."
"The previous town was an illusion, and this one isn't real either. The people underground in the church are NPCs we'll encounter during our quest."
"The town melted down before, but they're still here. How could they possibly be real people?"
Jiang Nuo explained it very clearly, Si Yan immediately nodded, still holding him tightly and refusing to move, as if he would disappear if she let go.
"I just saw a few more symbols inside."
Jiang Nuo found a piece of paper on the counter and wrote down the three symbols she had noted down, along with the ones she had seen before.
"It sounds like a word," Jiang Nuo muttered, but it wasn't English; his understanding of the world didn't allow him to decipher the meaning of words.
Qi Lin couldn't understand it either, and Qi Cang, as the Blood Demon, understood it even less.
The three of them then looked at Si Yan.
Si Yan touched the tip of his nose. "It's a lost language, originating from a certain group of sorcerers in ancient Greece."
He secretly curled the corners of his lips and looked at Jiang Nuo as if seeking praise. Sure enough, he received a kiss, and only then was he willing to continue talking.
"This term is not complete at the moment; I can't understand its meaning. There must be a few more missing."
"But it probably doesn't have any special meaning; it's just a name."
"A name..." Jiang Nuo mused, then glanced again at the portrait behind the transparent membrane.
"Let's go to the hotel."
Jiang Nuo gave his answer, a smile gradually appearing in his eyes, his thin lips parting slightly, "Blow up the hotel."
