Chapter 673: Pedantic and Disgusting
After putting on the cloak, Yue Ji walked in the rotten village. After walking towards the place where the nun had just left, Yue Ji also noticed something was wrong.
A vendor who looked like a human stopped him on the roadside.
"There are monsters everywhere outside... You can't get through without some skills, so you'd better not go and die."
"Huh? Let me first ask, how long has this situation existed, this level of corruption."
Yue Ji lifted his hood, revealing a stern face that was out of tune with this corrupt world. The merchant's eyes widened - he hadn't seen such a "clean" being for a long time.
Apart from that group of nuns, there are actually people like this?
"How long has this corruption lasted?" Yue Ji's tone was as calm as if he was asking about the weather.
"About a few years?"
"So how big is this town?"
“It takes about half a day to walk from the monastery on the far right, where the hatching is the most serious, to the village on the left.”
"…Then this means something very funny."
Hearing Yue Ji's disdainful tone, the vendor couldn't help but take a step back.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't think there's any reason for it not to go all out and directly conquer the entire church and the human world. Rather than not wanting to do it, I think it's more likely that its capabilities are limited."
Yue Ji pointed to the twisted church spire in the distance.
"It affects everything. Its strength may be just that. Although it is disgusting and can restrain you humans without technology, it is probably nothing under a nuclear bomb of modern munitions."
Yue Ji's remarks left the merchant confused, and he just watched this handsome man walk onto the foggy street.
……
Walking on this stinking street, Yue Ji still felt a little uncomfortable. After walking for a distance, the sound of panting came into his ears.
That was obviously coming from the nun.
Yue Ji quickly moved forward upon hearing the sound, and found the other party at the end of a large number of coffins. At this moment, the nun was tied to a wooden cross. Her silver hair was soaked in blood, like a red spider web stuck to her pale skin.
The gravekeeper's skinny fingers were pulling black threads out of her open mouth, and the other ends of the threads were connected to the twitching zombies on the ground.
He is casting magic in an attempt to completely transform the nun into a zombie.
Yue Ji frowned, and just as he was about to attack, the nun completely transformed into a zombie at this moment.
“Ahhh!…”
The moment the screams followed, the whole world fell into chaos.
……
"Ho!"
Yue Ji suddenly opened his eyes.
The cold stone bricks pressed against his cheek. He pulled himself up and found himself lying in front of the stained glass window of an unfamiliar church.
In front of him is a stone statue of a saint.
Yue Ji is an atheist. After all, he has destroyed so many universes but has never seen a reliable god.
So he had no respect at all for the statue in front of him.
As Yue Ji woke up, another soft voice was heard.
"You guys, do you want to?"
It was a softer sound and sounded smaller.
Yue Ji looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thinner nun talking to two villagers.
"Please, it's hard to even leave the village now. Those ominous creatures are becoming more and more rampant."
The female villager asked for help sincerely, and the male villager also asked.
"Can you really solve those things?"
The thinner nun shook her head when she heard this.
"I won't handle this matter. Someone else will."
After saying that, the nun that Yue Ji had just met also walked out of the room and came to the two villagers.
"It is my duty to clean up the filth. Our Lady Mary will protect us."
Although the words sounded sincere, Yue Ji saw that the nun's legs were shaking uncontrollably.
What is going on? Is the world going backwards?
Yue Ji was a little confused. He was looking at the statue of the saint in front of him in the dark, but he felt something was wrong.
It was a bit like a game reload, but the nun seemed to know something, so she was scared.
A few hours passed...
Yue Ji pinched his eyebrows. He was feeling a little sleepy now.
Are these people able to chat like this?
Thinking of this, he leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.
Maybe because I am too tired, I have no dreams.
……
"Hello? How are you? Who are you?"
A sound like a clear spring suddenly pierced the darkness. Yue Ji suddenly opened his eyes and met a pair of deer-like brown eyes. The thin nun was leaning over and looking at him. A few strands of flaxen curly hair slipped off her white linen headscarf, shining softly golden in the morning light.
"Oh, sorry, I have to borrow your place to sleep."
Yue Ji quickly apologized, and when he replied to the other party with a lazy expression, the cute nun actually had an incredible expression.
The nun suddenly froze. Her mouth was slightly open, and her cheeks were flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Yue Ji then noticed that her pupils were shrinking violently - not because of fear, but more like she had seen something incredible.
"what happened?"
Yue Ji was a little puzzled. He looked around but did not see the nun who was perfect in every way.
"Uh, may I ask where that nun went?"
Yue Ji asked again, and this time the nun responded.
The thin nun suddenly took two steps back and tightly grasped the cross on her chest with both hands.
"Um... I'm sorry, I've never met anyone like you." Her voice trembled.
The moonlight shone through the colored window onto Yue Ji's face, and he suddenly realized that in this gray and decadent world, his healthy complexion and neat attire had become the most unreasonable anomalies.
After briefly stating her origins, the nun asked in surprise.
"But you have no magic power, nor the ability to purify filth. It would still be very dangerous if you go out like this."
Yue Ji did not answer the nun's question directly, he just asked briefly.
"What is the source of your pollution? I'm going to kill it."
"Huh? It seems to be an Outer God? But I don't know the specific information. It should be in the easternmost monastery."
"Got it. Does your nun who went out to fight have the ability to reverse death?"
Hearing this, the nun looked quite shocked.
Yue Ji probably knew that the other party could only say this much, so he simply went out to look for the nun himself.
The streets were littered with zombie body parts and bones. Yue Ji returned to the place where the gravekeeper existed at the beginning. Now he had been defeated and turned into a corpse.
However, as he walked forward, the scene in front of him made Yue Ji's pupils tremble violently.
In the cemetery three hundred meters away, the silver-haired nun was being entangled by five pale tentacles as thick as buckets. The surface of those tentacles covered with suction cups was densely inlaid with human eyeballs, and at this moment, all of them turned to the sudden appearance of Yue Ji.
These leeches are very large, larger than Yue Ji could have imagined.
The largest tentacle suddenly split open, revealing sharp ring-shaped teeth that bit the nun's head. Yue Ji's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and the light blade launched by the Evolution Truster drew an orange track in the night sky.
puff!
The severed tentacles spewed out foul-smelling mucus. The broken sections would have grown again, but were instantly decomposed into light blue particles. Yue Ji caught the falling nun with one hand, and used his other arm to directly swing out the molecular cutting.
Stupid! ! !
In an instant, a group of leeches exploded into light blue particles. The nun's clothes in her arms were just torn, but fortunately, the surface of her skin was not stained with strange mucus.
"Hold on tight." He whispered in the nun's ear, his voice drowning out the screams of thousands of eyeballs, "This time I'll let you see... what complete purification means."
The Storm Sword suddenly extended, just like when Guts fought the apostles.
It’s just that the opponent is not that powerful.
The nun raised her face, her crystal-like eyes filled with disbelief. When her gaze fell on Yue Ji's angular jawline, a hint of blood suddenly appeared on her pale cheeks.
It was the first time she had seen such a person.
Yue Ji could feel the body in his arms trembling violently—not out of fear, but some more complicated emotion. The nun's hand unconsciously grasped the front of his collar.
The corners of Yue Ji's mouth twitched. This world where desires are embodied is really straightforward, even nuns can be designed to react in this way.
He caught a glimpse of the other person's snow-white skin faintly visible under the torn clothes, and suddenly felt it was ironic - in the countless bloody battles in the universe, this was the first time he encountered such "frank" malice.
boom!
The light blade formed by molecular cutting blasted another tentacle into a rain of particles. Yue Ji pulled the nun into his arms, and the hem of his black coat automatically extended, wrapping around her bare shoulders like a living thing.
Faced with the large number of leeches attacking him, Yue Ji impatiently swung the Storm Sword with one hand, and after a single blow, the area in front of him exploded, and the entire environment underwent a qualitative change.
The darkness receded at an extremely fast speed.
Looking at the zombies slowly approaching from behind, Yue Ji put away the Storm Sword and prepared to try out the idea in his mind.
Under the nun's astonished gaze, he stepped back half a step and assumed a fighting stance, then threw a textbook right punch at the approaching zombie.
Without the support of light energy, this blow, which relied purely on physical strength, actually caused the zombie's head to explode like a watermelon. The corrupt fluid splashed on the clean stone slab.
"Did you see clearly?" Yue Ji shook his wrist and glanced at the dazed nun. "What you lack is not divine power." He crushed the twitching finger bones on the ground, "but the most basic combat training."
The nun stared at all this in a daze, until Yue Ji gently placed her on the intact stone platform. Only then did she realize that her skirt had already been torn and her black suspender stockings had already been torn.
Her legs unconsciously shrunk together. But what made her heart beat faster was the action of Yue Ji taking off his black cloak.
"Wear this." He handed her the cloak which was still warm from his body temperature and looked into her eyes calmly.
The nun's fingers trembled slightly when they touched the lining of the cloak. When she looked up to thank him, she saw Yue Ji pointing to the eastern sky with the Evolution Truster.
"That direction," his voice suddenly turned cold, "is that the Outer God's lair you mentioned?"
"Oh, yes, who are you?"
"Yue Ji, people from other worlds, I just can't bear to see you keep dying and being disgusted like this, so I thought I'd help you if I could."
The nun looked at this scene and was a little dazed. She took out her wand tremblingly, and then hit Yue Ji's chest with force.
boom.
Nothing happened, only a dazzling blue light flashed in front of Yue Ji.
"Huh? You're really not those things?"
As the nun spoke, her clothes became more and more torn. Yue Ji had no choice but to accompany her back to the monastery to change clothes.
Along the way, she told many stories about herself.
She grew up in a monastery and had always revered the Virgin Mary. However, after a disaster, the entire village lost contact with the outside world.
No one knows why, but the men in this world have no fighting power and are unable to directly fight these filthy things.
Of course, this is also because the technology is too low. Facing the terrifying existence of the Outer Gods, no ordinary person can survive, and most of the monasteries have been destroyed.
Now the only nuns still alive are herself and the younger nuns in that convent.
They believe in the goddess, so they gain a small amount of magic power to fight against these filthy things.
This is a war, but the disparity is too great.
She gained the ability to rewind her death under unknown circumstances, and she experienced firsthand what those people and monsters had done.
Most monsters and deformed cults need her to be the mother of filth or the mother of the outer gods.
So after the monster caught her, the result was predictable.
The goddess statue can restore physical injuries, remove impurities, and replenish magic power.
"The worst time..." The nun suddenly grabbed the hem of her skirt, her knuckles turning white, "The demi-humans cut off my legs... and pressed me against the statue of the goddess..."
Her voice got lower and lower: "Every time I was about to die from excessive blood loss... the statue of the Virgin Mary would heal me... so that they could continue..."
Yue Ji knew exactly what that kind of thing was.
With a snap, Yue Ji crushed the stone cross on the roadside. The broken stones fell from his fingers and created shallow pits on the clean ground.
"Although I understand the significance of this kind of work, if I were here, I would definitely change this."
A monster formed by dirty tentacles jumped out from the roadside again. The nun subconsciously cast a spell to deal with it. The light blue light bow shot out, but failed to hurt the opponent much.
"What attack will you use when you run out of magic power?"
Yue Ji asked calmly, watching the nun pull out a...wooden stick from under her skirt?
“Isn’t this just a stick?”
"This, this is infused with magic..." Her voice became smaller and smaller as she looked at the faint, almost invisible fluorescence at the top of the wooden stick.
Yue Ji rolled his eyes when he heard that. Looking at the tentacle monster that was gradually approaching, he raised the energy blaster gun and pulled the trigger.
boom! !
In an instant, the light blue ball of light collided with the tentacle monster. After a loud bang, the tentacle monster turned into light blue particles.
The nun stared blankly at the drifting blue light particles. Just when Yue Ji turned around and prepared to move forward again, the nun's clothes were torn to an extent.
Yue Ji was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away.
But perhaps the nun was used to it, she did not cover it with her hands, but covered it with her cloak, and then picked up the stick again.
"Let's go back first."
