It was also during the same period that the Church of Death, which believed in the god of death, completely lost contact with the god of death it believed in for about a year, and only responded when the plague of the living dead was resolved.

The God of Death did not explain to his believers why he did not respond to them, and became more like an automatic answering machine.

In Lamia's opinion, such a major event would not happen by chance, and the two must be related.

Chapter 193 The God of Death "dies" first

Lamia chose to stay and continue looking for clues, while Lu Yan and Daisy went to find a place to stay. Looking at the gloomy hotel, the two entered it, and an extremely huge monster appeared in front of them.

It was a stitched corpse, with two heads, one male and one female, looking at the ghost girl and smilingly asking, "Ma'am, would you like a place to stay?"

"Where are the best rooms and how much do they cost?"

"One unit of soul ash per day, more will be refunded and less will be replenished."

Soul Ashes are hard currency everywhere. The unit mentioned here was actually planned by a powerful lich before the Undead Age, which is about one-fifth of the [Soul Ashes] card.

"Give."

Daisy took the bottle of soul ashes from the small bag hanging on her waist and handed it to the boss. He took it with a smile, touched a little with his finger and licked it, nodded with satisfaction at its purity, and gestured for the two to follow her.

Maybe it should be said of a person. After all, in their eyes, Lu Yan is just a constructed machine and does not have a soul.

Entering the room, it was cleaner than expected. The manager seemed to have considered the needs of different races. As a ghost, the ghost girl was given a room with no special features.

Sitting down on the bed, Lu Yan, who was wearing survivor's clothes, had no intention of taking off his armor in the city. Once he took it off, a guy with a strong body like him would probably be targeted by all the undead creatures in an instant.

Lamia hadn't come back yet, so he raised his hand and gestured slightly to Daisy, communicating with her through telepathy. The girl raised her hand and waved lightly to cast basic magic, and the surroundings were completely silent to prevent the sound from spreading.

"Master, it's done. No one outside can hear anything. If someone tries to push the door open, we'll be notified in advance."

"Can you feel where the thing is that draws you in?"

"That should be where the ruins were found. The gravity is pointing in the same direction, and it's underground."

Daisy stamped her feet, and Lu Yan had an idea: "Can we go underground and directly enter that location?"

"It depends on whether there's a special energy field nearby. If there is, I won't be able to transform into an ethereal form and pass through it."

Sitting in Lu Yan's arms, Daisy, who was a little tired, lifted the barrier, closed her eyes and fell asleep. She held the soul stone he gave her in her hand and slowly absorbed it. The stone was visibly shrinking.

After waiting for a while, Lamia received a radio message and entered the hotel. She flew in directly through the window and looked at Lu Yan and said, "Master, do you want to accompany Daisy to the ruins tomorrow, or today?"

"Tomorrow, take a good rest today and cheer yourself up."

"Well, I'll keep watch then, and you can rest."

Lamia narrowed her eyes and smiled. She was indeed the safest among the Night Watchmen. The next best thing was the Equilateral Crystal, who could provide a little more protection. However, Lamia was still more "intelligent".

Closing his eyes, Lu Yan fell into a deep sleep in the survivor armor. Lamia leaned on his arm, her eyes still flashing with light, looking for relevant information and intelligence, pursuing the truth about the Undead Age.

In short, after checking a large stack of information, she had a hunch that there was a 65% probability that the causes of disasters such as the Undead Age, the destruction of the world, and the gods falling into a half-dead state were caused by the God of Death.

There is a 75% chance that the Grim Reaper's "death time" will not be the same as the gods', but that he will fall into real death before that.

That’s right, it was the year when zombies were first born and the connection between the God of Death and the church was severed. The God of Death who released the power of faith after that might not be the original one.

The most likely scenario is that other gods replace the dead god of death and cast magic spells on his believers.

As for the specific situation, we need to continue collecting relevant intelligence and history.

Lamia sorted out a lot of information. The gray sky gradually darkened. As the sun set, the light disappeared in the sky. The moon, which basically did not emit any light, rose, leaving only a faint moonlight.

Lu Yan half-opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, sighing in a half-awake state: "The sun, stars and moon are all in a half-dead state."

After saying that, he fell asleep again. Lamia looked outside. There were several undead creatures at the door trying to enter the room, but each room was either empty or the person sleeping inside had released a barrier, so they couldn't get in.

The petite zombie halfling pushed open Daisy's door, and when he saw the few people whose doors were not closed, they just smiled. He grabbed their heads in batches with one hand and threw them out without any intention of showing mercy.

Three corpses were thrown under the inn. They stood up cursing, with fear in their eyes. Before the zombie halfling could turn around and run away, the stitched corpses of a man and a woman walked out of their room, grabbed one of them and put it in their mouths, chewing it.

The enemy was driven away. Lamia reached out to close the door, not caring what happened outside. She leaned on Lu Yan's shoulder and continued to think and organize.

At noon the next day, Lu Yan slowly opened his eyes, yawned, supported himself with his hands, and allowed his body to move freely.

His heartbeat quickened, his blood flow increased. He turned his arm, opened his mouth to let the survivors reach out, and sipped the survivor food inside the armor. As he ate, he looked at Daisy, who was flipping through a spellbook.

"Daisy, let's go and take a look at the ruins."

After packing up their things in the hotel, they left their temporary residence and followed Daisy's guidance to a place that was not a ruin, but at the edge of the street. The guidance she sensed was right below them.

The ghost girl's body became weak and she lowered her head to burrow into the soil. The two of them waited on the side. Twelve minutes later, Daisy came out of the soil and shook her head to indicate that she couldn't go in.

Then they went to the ruins. A large number of undead creatures surrounded the excavated tunnel, all wanting to go in and find out what was going on. What surprised Lu Yan was that no one stopped the residents and allowed them to enter.

"They're probably being used as cannon fodder and spies. Let them go in and explore the way first. No one will come out with the treasure for a while anyway."

Daisy, who was floating in the air, made a corresponding judgment. Lu Yan, who felt some gazes, said, "Should we go in? There's nothing we can do from outside."

The three of them lined up at the back of the team entering the cave. It was soon their turn in a team of about a hundred people. In fact, it was not crowded, but there were many people outside. The cave entrance was very large, and seven or eight people could pass through in a row.

In the dark tunnel, Lu Yan turned on the survivor's night mode and observed his surroundings. A large number of fluorescent mushrooms appeared in the damp cave, accompanied by a lot of moss, making the ground extremely slippery.

They grow wildly underground, and the thick fungal carpets and moss plates cause many undead creatures that enter them to accidentally fall, and some are directly torn into pieces because their limbs are not stable.

The survivors automatically change, extending nails from the soles of their feet into the ground to ensure stability.

Chapter 194 An underground city full of light mines.

The undead who entered first cleared out most of the monsters in the ruins, but it cannot be said that they dealt with them all. They should have added a [hostile] premise in front of the monsters.

The ruins are similar to the outside world, full of undead creatures. Some of them attack outsiders when they see them, but a large number of them choose to turn a blind eye when they see other undead residents.

Daisy, Lamia and Lu Yan in the iron shell were also ignored and were able to successfully enter the depths of the cave. The further they went, the wider the view became, and soon a fork in the road appeared.

The mechanical girl observed several directions, based on the location Daisy had previously drilled into, and pointed to the widest, downward path:

"Let's take that fork in the road."

As an artificial intelligence navigation, she is not an artificial idiot. Under the leadership of Lamia, the three of them walked deeper into the cave. The residents of Corpse Puppet City who also entered the cave as adventurers also met less and less frequently as the number of forks in the road increased.

As they met later, and with fewer people around, the undead residents of Corpse Puppet City showed an extremely tough character, and their eyes looked at others with more malice.

"Power is not evil, it is the people who use power who are evil." This sentence does not apply in Daisy's world. The negative energy in this world is evil. The ghost girl who plunders souls cannot be considered a normal good camp. At most, she is neutral.

Feeling the malice, Lu Yan pressed his neck lightly, made corresponding preparations for battle, and signaled Lamia not to rush into action and to conserve her strength.

About two hours later, Lu Yan, who had gone deep underground to a location several thousand meters in diameter, looked up at the rock wall, clenched his fingers rhythmically, and suddenly raised his hand and smashed the side of the rock wall.

The punch carrying energy had not yet landed on the rock covered with fluorescent mushrooms, but first hit the air where there seemed to be nothing. The sound of a violent collision echoed in the tunnel.

The invisible monster emerged, a mummy hiding and emitting malicious intent. The fire of the soul blazed brightly in its eyes. It barely blocked the attack with its bandaged fists and laughed maliciously:

"Hehehe, how did you find me?!"

Without replying, Daisy also took action, turned around and swung the sickle to cut at the ceiling. The sound of weapons clashing was heard, and the undead assassin holding the dagger stared at the ghost girl with red eyes.

It and the mummy were about to retreat and regroup, but Daisy held up the lantern and shook it gently, and the attacker's soul suddenly fell into a trance. Lu Yan took advantage of the situation and punched out, smashing the mummy's entire head completely.

The assassin on the other side suffered the same result. His head flew high into the air. When he came to his senses, he didn't even realize that he had been hit. His soul was pulled out of his body and entered the sickle.

"There should be quite a few more resident enemies coming up, so be careful."

"Ah."

Daisy nodded slightly. Lamia was just here for an outing, picking some fungi and mosses from time to time to check on them. Now she lifted up the corpse to observe it, not worrying about the safety of her master and companions at all.

Anyway, with her around, as long as the enemy is not too strong, she can try to deal with it for a while and then take her people away.

The number of people gradually decreased, and an inexplicable strong pressure suddenly appeared in front of the downward tunnel. Feeling the pressure, Lu Yan realized that Lamia had successfully found the right way in one go.

"About the same pressure as one meter below sea level."

Lamia tested it and explained the data to Lu Yan.

"Coercion?"

Daisy, on the other hand, looked puzzled. She was not affected by any pressure and remained very relaxed, feeling no different from being outside. On the other hand—

The ghost girl's companion sickle lit up, as if it had sensed something very important.

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Daisy quickly floated forward following her own perception, while telling Lu Yan about her feelings:

"Master, I feel the call is getting stronger and stronger. The things in front seem to be able to complement me. The item deep in the cave may be very important."

The view gradually widened, and when the three stepped out of another cave and prepared to enter a larger tunnel, a huge underground city appeared in their sight.

The buildings here are very strange. They are all built with obsidian. They look empty inside, but there are many fluorescent light spots scattered around, which indicate that they contain considerable energy.

Before Daisy could float over, several liches and their servants entered the dungeon from another entrance. A vampire warrior curiously reached out to touch the light spot. The lich who had just cast a spell to investigate its nature changed his expression slightly and retreated decisively.

The vampire's fingertips filled with negative energy touched the light spot, and powerful positive energy mixed with light exploded. The vampire was instantly incinerated by the energy, and the negative energy in his soul was also burned out, leaving only a pure soul.

He shook his hand, not even feeling the pain of his body being destroyed.

"I go!"

Lu Yan glanced at the light spot and took a few steps away. Perhaps the positive energy did not have such a strong special attack effect on him, but it could still cause damage normally.

After consuming the positive energy surrounding it, the light spot can still burn the soil normally. All the soil within a radius of 3 meters has been carbonized, and the energy contained in it is already very large.

It was clearly a dungeon filled with negative energy, with undead creatures roaming the tunnels, so logically speaking it wasn't the place where positive energy should be.

But why are there spots of light filled with positive energy here? Is it man-made?

The scientifically inclined liches began investigating. Lamia stepped forward to analyze the energy points, and after three seconds, she made a conclusion:

"It's a man-made booby trap, specifically designed to protect against outsiders. It must have used some special magic to seal the energy, so it's practically non-dissipative. It should last for around 5000 years."

"Since the energy type is completely different, even opposite, from the energy in the dungeon, we can assume that the light spot might be left by the culprit who turned this city into ruins."

"Be careful, let's go in by bypassing the light spot booby trap."

Lu Yan became even more curious and looked at Lamia. He remembered that Lamia had a skill called [Pure Soul]. When attacked by an [Holy] element, the damage would remain unchanged.

Could it be that Lamia's hometown is actually here?

"You can tell whether the dungeon was originally built underground, or whether it sank into the ground due to some human factor."

"It must have been originally built underground. The stalactites are proof of this. They are at least tens of thousands of years old. Of course, it's not ruled out that energy accelerated their accumulation."

Lamia pointed at the stalactites, staring at the town full of light spots and booby traps, looking for the safest route, and signaled Daisy and Lu Yan to follow her closely.

They found an open space where the survivors could pass through. The mechanical girl swung her waist and passed through, and the thin Daisy was able to float through. It was more difficult for Lu Yan, but at least he was moving forward.

Chapter 195 The Arrangement of the Gods.

The liches noticed the actions of the three people, looked at each other, and the fire of their souls flickered with an emotion called heartbeat. They wanted to attack, but they forced themselves to hold it back.

No one knows what will happen after triggering booby traps on a large scale, so it is better not to do it. Observe carefully and advance steadily. With only that one ghost and two constructs, it is impossible to find the treasure even if you force your way in. The advancement speed is too slow.

Entering the huge abandoned city, the energy fluctuations in the air made Lamia, who was constantly monitoring the energy status, frown. The environment here was really too chaotic.

"Something's wrong. The person who caused this ongoing situation is much stronger than me."

Attracting the attention of the two, Lamia began to explain, not mentioning the energy mines that had existed for a long time and had not been affected by negative energy, but simply said that it was the negative energy that filled the air.

Negative energy is constantly being generated, the reason is unknown, but there is also other stronger positive energy coming from certain directions, which means that someone has left more positive energy items in this ruin.

"Let's go check out those positive energy items first."

After passing through the booby trap array, they advanced about two to three hundred meters. Fortunately, the booby traps were only deployed in the outer circular area, like a barrier. There were fewer booby traps inside, but they were more concealed, and some were even hidden.

However, whether it is Lu Yan, the survivor, the mechanical girl or the ghost girl, they all react strongly to various energies and will not be fooled.

Led by Lamia, they walked towards a place similar to a tavern. It was shrouded in black fog, making it difficult to see clearly and impossible to see through the interior using special means.

Before they stepped into the ruins, the objects emitting positive energy fluctuations seemed to sense their arrival and the energy fluctuations became more intense.

The next moment, a radiant arrow shot out from the ruins of the tavern, obviously heading towards the ghost girl. The mist formed by the gathering of negative energy was first rolled up, and then spread and collapsed in all directions.

Daisy dodged the attack by turning sideways. Lu Yan looked intently at the inside of the fog. The attack was launched by a dusty armored figure. It aimed an arrow at the three people. With the surge of positive energy and magic power, the dust condensed into earth and rocks and fell down.

The armor that was originally thought to be gray turned out to be silver-white. The bow and arrow, the sword at the waist, and the armor all had the mark of the moon.

"The emblem of the Moon Goddess,"
