Although the New Year has little meaning to people living in this world,
To some people, the arrival of the New Year even means that another year has passed, and that the end of the world is one year shorter.
Even so, there are still many people who enjoy life while they can.
Reagan spent the New Year's Eve with many researchers at the institute and did not discuss anything related to research today.
Because Jin had consumed a large amount of meat agents in the battle, she couldn't find William during the New Year, so she had to cook meat alone in her room all night. Even though the smell spread throughout the apartment building, no one dared to disturb her.
Yi Chen unexpectedly stayed in the principal's office to celebrate the New Year with Daisylin. The two of them looked up at the stars on the surface of the planet. They no longer discussed magic or academic matters, but talked about some ordinary topics.
Before we knew it, we were talking about Deslin's family of origin.
Valdivia family
One of the four major families in the organization, including Deslin, there have been three prophets in history. Deslin's mother is also an elite gentleman in the organization, but failed to pass the prophet assessment.
The mother was very strong and harsh to both Deslin and her husband.
As an adult, Deslin could no longer tolerate this, and after obtaining the identity of a prophet, she prepared to take her father away from the family. However, her father was still unable to get rid of this cowardice, and at the last moment before leaving the house, he still chose to stay.
At this point, Deslin became completely independent.
From then on, he never returned to his family, nor had any contact with them.
She has always lived alone, enjoying the feeling of being immersed in the void without anyone restraining or disciplining her, and even labels herself as "absolutely independent".
Although he often disguises himself to go to the street area to get a bite to eat, he refuses to communicate with anyone for a long time.
This is the first time,
Deslin tore off the label that had been with her for decades, and actively and instinctively wanted to be with others. She was even able to temporarily put her identity aside and share the past that was buried in her heart.
Early morning, principal's office
When Yi Chen woke up, he was the only one lying on the sofa. There was a note on the table saying that Daisy had left early because she had to attend a morning meeting of the organization's top management.
After washing off the remaining fragrance on his face, he also left a note and picked up his suitcase and left the principal's office.
“Huh… Since Principal Dai Silin has given such a high evaluation to Insomniac Garlon, I will never be able to catch up no matter how hard I try in the last few days.
It would be better to put aside this nervous and uneasy mood and go find Jin first."
Unexpectedly, when Yi Chen was taking the train out of school, he ran into his two teammates on the platform, or rather, Jin and Reagan were preparing to go to the school to find him.
"Hmm? What about you guys?"
Just when Yi Chen was feeling curious, Jin took a step forward, slightly raised his mask and sniffed.
"…Have you washed your body? Where did you go last night?"
"I was learning about corpses and verbally communicating with teacher Zed. After all, I had just recovered and couldn't engage in physical combat... I took a shower because I smelled like a corpse."
"Oh~ So you are in the underground area. No wonder the messenger between organizations said he couldn't contact you and had to send us the message."
Jin deliberately dragged out his tone, seeming not to believe it.
"What letter?"
"You can probably guess, right, William?"
"A reward for death?"
"That's right. Since we eliminated the threat from Wenholm and the dead, we have the opportunity to go to the Hall of Glory to be commended... Although I don't want to have too much connection with the organization, I can't refuse something that is delivered to my door for free."
"good."
…
Hall of Glory
A horizontal tablet with the label "Harbinger of Death" and engraved with three young men and a floating eyeball was placed in the alcove of the hall. Everyone also received a large bonus and the qualification to go to the Gentleman's Treasure House.
The same voting is also being conducted within the team. If anyone in a team of three gets two votes, they will be eligible to go to the "secret room".
The result was beyond doubt; while William was hesitating, he had already been chosen.
"You again."
Archbishop Aleris Heaton squeezed his wrinkled face and could only lead Yi Chen to the secret storage room of the original church again. Since the organization was established, no one had ever received secret storage rewards twice in a month.
A vicissitudes of life voice squeezed through the throat and warned:
"Stop targeting the Holy Hosts..."
"knew."
Yi Chen smiled awkwardly. If the archbishop hadn't said this, he might have really gone to the sanctuary again.
After all, Little Grape has made a lot of contributions to this incident, and Yi Chen has also felt Little Grape's true potential through this "skin-skin combination".
If we can continue to develop small grapes, it will greatly enhance our own growth.
"I just got a spine weapon that perfectly matches the death attribute, so I don't need any more weapons... Wait, I'm still missing a weapon besides the axe."
Yi Chen took out the truncated shotgun "Body Breaker" which had not been used for a long time from the suitcase.
This weapon made of diseased creatures (severely ill ones) can no longer satisfy Yi Chen at this stage and is no longer used. The bullet's iron-absorbing property has little effect on the open sourcer.
Although the "Dead Ridge Lac" can be switched to dual-wielding mode, it cannot be as flexible and changeable as firearms, and will suffer when facing enemies at medium and long distances.
Yi Chen still prefers to take into account both close and long range attacks, and he himself has adapted to this complex combat mode that mixes cold and hot weapons.
His body and brain can adapt to such a mix and achieve the effect of 1+1>2.
"The secret room of the original church is mostly filled with antiques, and there is nothing directly related to firearms. It's probably useless to ask the archbishop, he has never stepped out of here, and he may not even recognize firearms.
However, some of the principles are worth asking about. 』
"Archbishop Aleris, I have a modern weapon made of unopened source material. Is there any way to upgrade it to open source level?"
"As for the props of the diseased creature? If the original structure of the diseased creature is not destroyed, you can use relics with similar properties to improve its quality.
There happen to be some relics in the secret room, you can pick some."
"A relic?"
Speaking of relics, Yi Chen happened to have one in his hand. Compared with the relics in the secret room, it was not necessarily worse, and it was even fresher in quality.
"Archbishop, do you think this thing is okay?"
As Yi Chen unbuttoned his shirt in an ungentlemanly manner and inserted his fingers into his belly button, a black umbilical cord was taken out.
This "token" from an old friend has rarely been used since Yi Chen awakened the attribute of death. It has been lurking deep inside his body, buried in the inner walls and integrated into his flesh.
With the umbilical cord exposed, it breathed in fresh air from the umbilical cord opening and immediately began to twist in the air, releasing wisps of "breath of new life" from the other end.
Although this aura is similar to Jin's regenerative tumor, it is fundamentally different.
Tumors correspond to infinite proliferation, representing a process from 1→∞.
The umbilical cord corresponds to new life, representing the process from 0 to 1.
As this rare breath of new life spread in the secret room and penetrated the ground... Buzz buzz buzz!
Below the area where everyone was, that is, in the holy sanctuary, there were bursts of strong noises coming from the holy sanctuary. At least three holy bodies were experiencing strong physical resonance due to this new life.
The archbishop was shocked and helpless.
"Why is the Host so restless every time you come over here?"
This item should be a very rare "Navel of Beast Disease" that is also rare in the Old World. Put it away for now~ We will discuss your reward again later."
