Deep in the Living

Chapter 282 Preface

The storm is passing.

A man and a woman stood in front of the dilapidated hotel, preparing to go to the next location.

After a brief conversation, we learned that the white-haired girl was named Agatha Strasser, and she was an Iron Pillar Sister affiliated with the Prologue.

Rody briefly told Mr. Hawke his name and why he knew him.

Ga~
The crow standing on Rody's shoulder quickly condensed into the form of a crow after leaving the inn.

Agatha had no mount, and she seemed to have arrived here on foot.

Just when Rody was considering whether to invite the other party to ride on the Raven Horse.

Agatha squatted down and placed her palms on the ground.

With the naked eye, one can see streams of metallic liquid flowing between the blood vessels and converging towards the palm of the hand, as if resonating with the substance beneath the ground.

As she gradually raised her arms,

A large amount of metal material was stripped from the ground.
In the end, it formed a thick iron rod that was more than two meters long. It was bigger and thicker than the iron rod she had used to destroy rats before, and more like a vertical column used in construction.

Agatha then made a throwing motion, aiming in the direction of the Bridge of Sin.

"You run on the crow horse first, and after I determine your speed, I will catch up."

"Row."

Rody pulled the chain on the crow horse and rushed out as a ghostly black shadow.

After determining the running speed of the crow colt, Agatha immediately tensed all her muscles and threw the big iron rod in her hand out with almost all her strength.

The moment she threw the iron rod, her lower limbs burst out with a faster instantaneous speed, and she jumped and landed steadily on the surface of the high-speed flying iron rod.

He flew close to the ground on the iron rod, just enough speed to catch up with the crow colt, and the two were completely parallel.

"This……"

Rody was shocked by the opponent's strength, and at the same time discovered the peculiarity of this way of movement.

Pure force cannot support the iron rod to continue flying, it only provides an initial velocity.

The entire Pain Plain has a high metal content. The iron rod peeled off by Agatha should be endowed with some kind of magnetism, and can achieve continuous flight through the magnetic effect, just like a maglev train.

As Rody was watching the other party's special movement, Agatha pointed forward and said:

"The torture chamber controlled by Lord Hawke is located at the deepest part. After we cross the Bridge of Sin, you just need to go straight along the west avenue. If you can see a prisoner transport vehicle along the way, it means you are on the right path.

The rat is dead, I just need to return to the monastery to report."

Luo Di caught a key word and took the opportunity to ask:

"The Great Monastery? Could you explain the composition of the Prologue?
I only had a private contact with Mr. Hawke through a certain "node" in our world, and I could only move around in the torture chamber, so I knew nothing about the entire structure of the Prologue."

“Sure enough, Master Hawke didn’t tell you this most basic thing… In fact, the composition of the prologue group is very simple.

The so-called [Order] corresponds to the 26 letters of Hell. This is the lifelong goal of the Hell monks, and some people have been recognized by the letters and become members of the Order.

It is important to note that the alphabetical order has nothing to do with their strength or authority, it simply represents their characteristics.

At the beginning of the creation of the real hell.

The meaning of the letters is determined and remains unchanged forever.

Currently, there are ten monks who have successfully obtained the letters, abandoned their previous names, and become true "members of the Order".

Lord Hawke is one of them, with the letter H (hook), which represents a hook and is the spokesperson for punishment.

Some of the sinners in the real hell will be sent to his torture chamber."

"You're not considered a member?"

"I am only a nun who has been practicing Taoism for less than three years. I have not even crossed the "Gate of Demon Ascension". My journey of practicing Taoism is still very long."

"Do the other members of the Prologue also control territories similar to the Grievance Chamber like Mr. Hawke?"

“There are only three people in charge of [special agencies].

The rest of the members are all active in one place, which can also be said to be the main city of the entire prologue group - [Great Monastery]. This is the final destination of the painful pilgrimage, and it is also the place where I mainly live and feel the pain.

If you are interested, Luo Di, you can come and have a look after you go to the torture chamber.

You are Master Hawke's disciple, and even if you have not become a monk in a proper capacity, the monastery will welcome you."

"Okay, come and have a look then..."

Luo Di was very interested in the Prologue. Since there was no time limit for the envoy's journey, he would definitely go to the main city of the monks to appreciate the different types of metal performance and the so-called painful cultivation. Maybe he could get some unexpected gains. "By the way, what can I get for this head?" Luo Di reached out and patted the dark demon head on the side of the horse's back.

"Hold on."

Agatha took out a parchment wanted poster from the side of her clothes, which detailed the wanted order for the rat.

≮Hell's Wanted-Scylla.Black Rat Tail≯

The relevant content is nothing more than the mouse's rank, habits, activity area and the sins it has committed.

[Reward Requirements]: Kill Scylla and throw part of his body into any Hell Rift to receive a small amount of Hell Contribution.

Agatha guessed that Rody didn't understand these terms and began to explain: "You can regard Hell Contribution as a special currency that is directly bound to you.

There are two ways to consume.

First, you can use your contributions to offset sins you commit in Hell.

Second, you can directly spend money in the [Hell Merchant Group]. You can basically buy any type of things in the merchant group. The equipment you are currently using should all come from your world. If you have accumulated enough contributions, you can go to the merchant group to have a look. The hell equipment may be more suitable for you now. "

"How can I get to the merchant group?"

"The location of the merchant group is not fixed. They are always active in the real hell. Whether you can meet them depends entirely on luck... Of course, if you can accidentally get an invitation letter from the merchant group, you can be teleported there directly. I don't know exactly how to get it."

"My contribution now won't be worth anything, right?"

"Well, the goods of the merchant group are all of better quality, and the prices are naturally relatively expensive. I guess you have to kill 3 to 4 more wanted criminals like this before you can buy the good stuff that suits you."

"OK, thanks."

Agatha's expression changed slightly, and the metal tube inserted in her neck also slowed down her breathing.

He glanced at Rody and saw that his appearance and clothing were completely different from those of a demon.

"It's still about four hours to the Bridge of Sin, Mr. Rody, can you share with me your native world? I have never stepped out of Hell, and my activities are basically limited to the area around the Prologue... To be honest, it's a bit boring."

"Ah."

Seeing Rody nod in agreement, Agatha's needle-tip-sized white pupils slowly enlarged, revealing a kind of excitement and desire.

Rody simply explained the situation on Earth as if he was telling a story, mainly talking about the structure of the United States and the threats in the corners.

Agatha showed great interest when talking about concepts such as corners of the mind and pseudo-people.

Since there was plenty of time, Luo Di also told the first simulation practice as a story.

Agatha lived in a large monastery and was exposed to very bitter and dry content every day. When she heard such a story for the first time, she almost fell off the iron pillar when she heard the climax.

When she talked about the tongue-flicking demon, she also realized something:
"Roddy, you have inherited this attribute too, right? It seems that it is this clicking sound that allows you to see through the mouse's trick."

"Ah."

“Incredible~ No matter how you look at it, your tongue is related to mischief, but it itself does not have the characteristics of mischief.

This tongue seems to be able to work in conjunction with the spine, and it is the reinforcement given by the spine that allows the tongue to produce a stronger effect of breaking the mind."

"Hmm~ My tongue was my introduction to hell. As I grow older, its effects are getting stronger."

Agatha suddenly figured something out. "Perhaps one of the important aspects of the [outing] arranged by the Spine is to expose you to the evil play in advance. Anyway, let's talk about it after you meet Lord Hawke.

OK! You continue to tell the story.

How did you survive this kind of evil demon? "

Rody continued to finish telling the story.

Agatha was completely fascinated by what she heard.

“It’s so funny…I’ve never heard a story like it.

And your partners are all great. If any one of them is missing, the situation will be dead!

It’s just that the "class monitor" in this story always feels a bit out of place. It always feels like she doesn’t seem like a human being who is dealing with an incident for the first time. She seems to be very familiar with the development of the entire situation and is just pretending to be unfamiliar.

Of course, it could be that I'm overthinking it.

Can you give me a spoiler in advance, what exactly is the squad leader like?"

"Let's talk about it later."

"Oh~Okay... The Bridge of Sin is ahead. Time flies."
