Chapter 977 Forty-four. Ghoulization
【Late Night City - Outer City - Fusan District】
【Outer city residents have recently noticed that the Michael family is behaving abnormally. Become photophobic, speak less, reduce going out, and lose weight visible to the naked eye. The monster meat hanging behind the window will disappear when it is left to rot. Neighbors once smelled the rancid smell wafting from Michael's house, and there was a prayer-like murmur when it was quiet at night]
【Mission: Investigate the strangeness of the Michael family】
【Advanced: Completely solve this task】
【Hint: Ghouls, madmen, Senger tribes and some pagan beliefs or infected with characteristics similar to the Michael family】
【Basic reward: 1 credit; 2 team points】
The task two days ago. If the task is left for too long, it will be withdrawn, and it will be handled by the late night city to avoid the aggravation of the incident. Therefore, quests that have been put on hold for a period of time and have not been withdrawn or accepted usually represent: the quest reward is low, or has not changed for a long time - just suitable for the Holy Light team to continue to run in.
"Lu Li, after this mission is over, go to the mission hall with me to choose the next mission."
On the elevator to the late night city, Kiruat said.
"Squad points are not only used to improve rankings, you can understand them as a treasured currency that can be exchanged for things that can't be bought by exclusive college shillings and weird currency."
In addition to understanding the mission mode, Lu Li, as the vice-captain, also needs to understand the role of squad division, so that when Kiruat is sacrificed... Lu Li can successfully take over the position of the leader of the Holy Light squad.
After ten minutes, the elevator descended into the late night city camp. The light ball of the tower is like the first dawn, emitting a hazy and gentle light.
On the outskirts of the outer city, Rusan District might be called a ghetto—an unmanaged, chaotic neighborhood of staggered shacks.
"The 100th place in the leaderboard has 63 team points, and we are 40 team points away from entering the leaderboard..."
Kiruat was a little ashamed. The bottom 50 places on the leaderboard change frequently, and the ranking will plummet at any time due to the consumption of team points. Even so, Squad of Light is still a long way from breaking into the leaderboards.
After all, the Holy Light Squad before this had no intention of meddling in the rankings, and a certain amount of Squad Points would be exchanged quickly.
"If we accumulate 80 team points, we can stay at the bottom of the leaderboard." Jaeger said at this time.
Although both Lu Li and Kiruat lacked interest in the rankings, they felt guilty that they could not even enter the rankings with Lu Li.
In any case, Lu Li's supplies made it unnecessary for the Holy Light team to spend team points to exchange items, and the remaining two months were enough for them to appear at the bottom of the leaderboard——
The premise is that Lu Li will not advance to the senior grades before that.
Enter the Fusan District, where many religious groups spread their beliefs and distribute resources. It's like a deal: you provide faith, I provide food and water.
bypassing those churches, they arrived at the mission location, Michael's house.
A cottage connected to the surrounding sheds. In outer cities or slums, such connected, almost longhouse sheds are common—saving one, or even two, walls can save a lot of money.
And an accident is also a big trouble. Such as fire, such as plague.
doesn't seem to be the case.
Looking around. The Michael family was not dealt with, and the surrounding area was not even blocked. The residents passed around the shack calmly, and the neighbors did not move out.
Suspected plague should not be underestimated. The way to deal with it should be for Deep Sea City to deal with it immediately instead of waiting for Giant Tree Academy to deal with it.
For some reason?
Lu Li thought, unfortunately, this part is not in the teaching of Giant Tree Academy.
The good news is that the Michaels are not spreading the plague. But it seems to be coming soon, because when asked nearby residents, they said they had not seen the Michaels go out all day.
"You keep your distance, Jaeger, protect Lu Li and Naxi." Kiruat wore a diamond-shaped hand shield, did not activate the second form, and leaned into the window.
After a short observation, Kiruat retreated from the window and made a specific gesture to signal his teammates to approach.
"What's the matter." Jaeger looked at the dust-covered window.
"It's weird... I seem to have seen the Michael family but..." Kiruat couldn't explain what he saw. She asked Naxi to drink the manifesting potion and approached the door.
嘭——
The latch was broken, the door was kicked open, and the dust almost obscured the view.
"Three pollution sources! Weak!" Naxi, who kept his distance from the hut, shouted.
But Kiruat has seen the scene in the hut and the source of the pollution.
"Is there anything else?" Kiruat's tone was uncertain.
"No, I can't find it."
"...Come here." Kiruat said, and even lowered his shield and put down his guard.
With a doubtful Jaeger, they approached the shack, the dust dissipated, revealing three silhouettes tied to the wooden chair.
They...or rather they were thin and weak, with greyish-brown patches of skin that resembled corpse spots, wrinkled with thinness, alopecia areata, and loose hair scattered around linen clothes and wooden chairs.
"They made it by themselves? Or someone..." Naxi felt that he was talking nonsense, but there was nothing in the room except the Michael family.
Lu Li opened his stomach bag and took out the traceability medicine before his wrist was bitten by his closed teeth.
"I'll come this time."
Jaeger took the potion and said. Sequence potions have side effects, such as pollution, after all, they are also a member of weirdness.
After taking the potion, Jaeger began to observe the surroundings, and after a while he shook his head in disappointment: "They were tied here an hour ago."
"Anyway, it seems that we are lucky." Kiruat didn't struggle for too long.
Complete the task without doing anything, and you can also get advanced rewards.
Naxi inspected a circle of shacks and found a scribbled circle dedicated to the ghoul **** on the floor of the inner bedroom.
This is the source of the transformation of the Michael family into ghouls.
destroyed it and they returned to the Michaels.
"How to deal with it?"
Kiruat asked Lu Li for his opinion.
"Can it still be treated?"
Lu Li swept over the bodies of the couple who were turning into ghouls and the child who was only seven or eight years old.
"Not sure... Naxi." Kiruaite looked at Naxi, who understood and approached the husband of the Michael family with the protective potion.
"Don't move, I don't want to accidentally kill you..."
He muttered to Michael, who had lost his mind, and took out a bandage from his satchel to secure his head, then cut the skull with a sharp scalpel and opened it.
The sticky dark gray substance pulled out the sticky threads, Naxi leaned back to avoid the disgusting smell, and observed the gray-black brain with decay and atrophy in the skull.
"It's already the third stage...Irreversible."
covered his head, Naxi retreated to the side of his teammates.
The skull was lifted and it didn't seem to hurt Michael, but he was still shaking uneasily.
"Then sell it to the Giant Tree Academy or free them." Kiruat looked up at the child who lost his mind and asked Lu Li regretfully.
Lu Li quietly pulled out the cognate dagger.
