Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 803 The Origin of the Curse

"Captain, isn't it a bit against the rules for us to just let them roam around in the city like this?"

After Lin Yu and Huang left, a clerk next to the director of the Inquisition finally couldn't help but ask.

"rule?"

The old director of the Inquisition sat on the chair where Lin Yu had just sat, stroking the armrests of the chair.

"The Golden Cross is more important than any other rules."

"What I mean is, since they are holders of the Gold Cross, we should treat them well, keep them in the station, and assign some personnel to follow them closely," the clerk whispered. "Now is a critical moment..."

"If they are truly holders of the Gold Cross who came from headquarters, your idea is certainly correct," the Director of the Inquisition said calmly, "but... that black-haired man with the Gold Cross is no ordinary man."

"Director, I don't understand what you mean."

The clerk frowned and said in great confusion.

"Just now, when I used 'Cleansing', a demonic curse entangled in his soul. What kind of demonic curse do you think it is that I, the Director of the Inquisition and a high-ranking divine magician, cannot eradicate it within the territory of the Inquisition?"

The clerk was startled, and suddenly realized that something was wrong: "I thought you did it on purpose..."

"No, I'm truly incapable of removing the curse mark left in the soul of a 'Monarch-level Demon' by his death. Furthermore, if we're mistaken, he's a demon from the Nightmare clan," the Inquisition's director said gravely. "Do you think his Golden Cross might be a family heirloom?"

"In my opinion, he's most likely a 'demon hunter' who walks the abyss for years—those guys look very young, but they might be monsters of who knows how old they are."

"This curse isn't the kind you'd get from simply 'expelling' a demon or killing its projection. It's the kind that only comes from truly entering the abyss and completely wiping out a demon's true form!"

"Do you think his aura isn't as strong as the woman next to him? But for a guy like that, disguising his strength is as basic as breathing!"

"That Gold Cross might not even have been awarded by this generation's Chief Inquisitor!"

The Director of the Inquisition said this and let out a breath.

"You guys are still young and haven't experienced the end and aftermath of the Dark Ages. The adventurers active in that era acted in a style far beyond your imagination."

"They are more cruel, cunning, and vicious than the dark race, so... no matter what they want to do, we'd better not disturb them."

The director of the Inquisition paused, then continued, "Furthermore, precisely because he's a demon hunter from the abyss, not an ordinary adventurer, he might not interfere with our actions and might even agree with us."

"I'm letting him go free as soon as possible for this very reason... We should just stay out of each other's way and do our own thing."

The director of the court said this and the clerk nodded.

"I see...Do we still need to keep an eye on him?"

"Of course, but send your most astute and skilled personnel, without malicious intent. They must treat this as a protection mission, not a surveillance mission... Ideally, we could get the Holy Fire Church to produce a few priests."

The director of the court said carefully.

"Remember... don't alarm him! This guy is just as dangerous as the thing hiding underground!"

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed the cursed mark of the 'Monarch-level Demon' to remain in his soul."

……

……

……

"Schreiber, speaking of which, what is this demonic curse in your soul?"

On the streets of Lilai City, Huang seemed to remember something and asked.

Lin Yu naturally knew where this thing came from.

After this 22nd death in his own home, it was a kind of death rattle for his existence as a "devil".

Anyone who kills a demon will have their soul cursed by the demon's soul fragments.

Because Ershi died too quickly and had no time to cast the spell before his death, the curse itself was not harmful.

Lao Zheng’s suggestion is to just leave it alone. Although the Nightmare Clan will hold a grudge against it, the cost of getting rid of it is too high.

Although Nightmares are considered difficult to deal with among demons, they are extremely rare.

Before coming to Yegu this time, Shen Bingmiao didn't say anything about dealing with it or taking precautions, so Lin Yu didn't care at all.

But it was impossible to tell Huang the truth, so he could only be vague.

"This happened after a conflict with another player. I don't know what method was used."

Huang nodded, believing Lin Yu's words: "I see, but the person who gave you the 'Golden Cross Medal' didn't help you get rid of it?"

"He doesn't ask me too many questions, and he doesn't have the energy to worry about me that much."

Lin Yu said this and then changed the subject.

"Are we almost there?"

The two people's current goal is to find other players.

According to Huang's experience, if the other party is also a player who is relatively familiar with Night Valley and wants to meet up with other players in a city, the fastest way is to find the Adventurer's Guild in that city.

There are also many NPCs there who can act as thugs - as long as you pay, you can get some temporary, unreliable helpers.

When Huang heard Lin Yu's words, he raised his head and looked at the road, then said.

"Oh, we're almost there."

As she spoke, she led Lin Yu to turn left in front, and after walking a few steps, she turned left again.

Lin Yu looked at the route and couldn't help but be silent.

This has obviously been passed!

But he didn't expose Huang.

The two of them successfully arrived at the door of the Adventurer's Guild - just like in many fantasy works, a spacious two-story building, with many guys dressed like fighters coming in and out of the door.

However, although the building is large, it is not very grand and luxurious. Some of the old stone walls are roughly made, and the wooden gate is covered with cracks.

After walking in, there were no beautiful signboard girls or luxurious bars, only an earthen wall covered with wooden signs and a few simple uncles carrying ladders to put up and take down signs.

The tables in the rest area were all crooked and there were no stools to be seen. Adventurers holding iron swords and copper hammers squatted in the corner against the wall to rest. It looked a bit like the entrance to a talent market.

But...this place is similar to a talent market.

After Huang entered, he looked around and quickly locked onto his target.

"Sure enough, someone has found this place."

Lin Yu followed the gaze and found that it was a unfamiliar face.

But he was also very sure that the guy was a player.

Because apparently, no one in Night Vale wears turtlenecks, cropped leggings, and snow boots.
