Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Random Instance - Horror Universe
?
[You have used a Random Dungeon Scroll, this time it''s for the Horror Dungeon World: Horror Universe No.7321]
[Randomly assigning your identity, the ratio for this time is: Main Character (99%), Supporting Role (1%), Extra (0%)]
[You have obtained the Main Character Identity]
[Main Mission Released]
[Go to Akman Town to become the Priest of the church and help the townsfolk resolve some paranormal and horrific events. Reward: Lord Skill: Summoning and Returning]
[Lord Recall: Send your heroes and troops back to your territory, consumption: 100 Magic Value]
[This time, the evaluation will be based on your problem-solving methods and the number of issues resolved. The evaluation affects the final reward]
"Why don''t you just give the whole 1% from the Supporting Role to the Main Character? I''m not lacking that 1%." Qin Muye understood by now that being the Main Character definitely had no benefits. "Lord Era" made him the Main Character but did not provide a Main Character Aura, just gave him a disaster-prone physique, which was clearly a trap.
[You have gained a temporary skill: Event Physique]
[Event Physique: You easily get involved in certain events]
"Damn (+000)"
Just as Qin Muye finished thinking, he received this. Thankfully, his identity this time wasn''t the Dragon King Asura, so the temporary skill was not as lethal as a Dumbing Aura combined with a Taunting Aura. However, when it really comes down to it, this skill seems even more troublesome.
After all, those two auras were only targeted towards characters relevant to the storyline, but Event Physique meant that he could get into trouble wherever he went.
"But this time, it''s not too bad, at least I was given some memories, although not very detailed ones."
Qin Muye recalled that the Priest he replaced was named Andrew Villeries, a Priest who sought to ascend to heaven through atonement. As for what sin he was atoning for, Qin Muye wasn''t sure. The memories were limited, which is why he had come to Akman Town.
As for the place he found himself in, it was similar to a Western parliamentary country in the late 19th century. As the Industrial Revolution began, science gradually began to oust theology, causing the Church to start declining.
Of course, that was irrelevant to him. This world was slightly backward-technology was out of the question, certainly no match for Wen Country.
Just like how his car had broken down on the road.
"To be honest, this Andrew seems to be quite wealthy, even afford a car." Qin Muye muttered to himself. However, as for cars, well, he couldn''t fix them. He really couldn''t fix this old- timer car.
Driving an old-timer car to the countryside, he didn''t understand what Andrew was thinking. What''s more crucial is that he didn''t know where Akman Town was located. He wasn''t the real Andrew but only had access to some basic summarized memories of his.
Following Xisel, the path was rough, but with the attributes provided by the Crimson Magic Boots, he did not find it very difficult even if it wasn''t as easy as walking on flat ground.
Having walked for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the hunter''s cottage that the other had mentioned.
The first impression that struck Qin Muye was the messiness and filth, a shanty made of sloppy tin sheets, surrounded by various foul-smelling animal carcasses and even furs
hanging on racks.
But these were not the main issues. After all, being in the wilderness and a hunter to boot, Qin Muye could understand, but he faintly saw several somewhat rusted cars around the tin
house.
''A serial killer in the remote wilderness...''
This inexplicable sense of de?ja? vu surfaced in Qin Muye''s mind, a familiar trope.
The Horror Universe he was in definitely included murderers as a form of horror.
''So does that mean this guy could also be one of the events I need to resolve...''
''So what on earth is Akman Town then? If outside the town there is a murderer, then what
about inside?''
Qin Muye felt like mocking the living conditions that allowed the town to survive at all, wondering if all its residents had moved from Gotham.
It was a bit funny to think about, but no matter, Qin Muye... his troops could fight. ''Wait, if I use Crimson Invasion to sweep through Akam Town, would that count as resolved? After all, there''s no requirement in the main mission to keep the townspeople alive.'' Suddenly, Qin Muye thought of this idea, but he quickly realized that this world lacked elements, Magic Power, etc...
''No, this world actually has Energy? That means it''s not a magic-less cosmic.'' ''It''s just that the type of energy is a bit strange. Forget it, I''ll study it when I have time.''
With energy available, he could use his Crimson Invasion, but eventually, Qin Muye gave up on the idea of using it to cleanse the town. This time, he came to earn an S-level Evaluation, so better not make a mess, otherwise, what about the Special Building Blueprints? Then he glanced at his Super-Space Transmission Channel that had already recorded the coordinates of this world. He could even return to the Magic Continent without a problem, just needing to open it.
Since there''s a time flow speed difference between the two worlds, he had to wait until after completing the mission to come back.
Moreover, he was concerned that there might be some unknown powerful entities within the Horror Universe, so it was better to be careful.
After getting to Akman Town and scoping out the situation, he would summon Tian Qi and
the Evangelical Spirit Monster. In any task, it''s wise to be cautious. If it proved too difficult, then he''d just take the Super-Space Channel and run. What good are mission rewards if they''re not as valuable as his own life?
''So, this Super-Space Channel is really cheeky...''
