127: Chapter 127 Kobolds

Although Chen Mo had never been abroad, he had seen many tropes in movies.

A normal church has a high, vaulted ceiling.

The murals above should depict angels dancing in the clouds, giving people a sense of holiness.

But the ceiling mural of the church before his eyes was a sculpture of two demons.

They looked like conjoined twins, their bellies fused together, facing each other, a demon with two heads growing from one neck.

Their bodies were tall and strong, with well-defined muscles, and a pair of bull horns grew on top of their heads.

A pair of giant bat wings extended from their backs.

Those wings were as large as storm clouds, capable of shrouding everyone praying below in darkness.

What kind of church worships demons?

Chen Mo looked away, and the others also peered inside one after another.

Coming to a secluded tree nearby, Chen Mo took out the yellowed notebook he had hidden in his pocket.

He had found it behind the old woman's wax figure after entering the Villa earlier.

He hadn't made it public.

Ever since entering this dungeon, an eerie atmosphere had been silently affecting Chen Mo.

Furthermore, the Club President had given the wrong directions earlier, which inevitably made Chen Mo suspicious of the team members.

Sharing the information with the Club President and the others might help deduce clues faster.

But if there was a problem within the team, the clever Club President and Meng Zhou could very likely mislead Chen Mo's train of thought.

Plus, there was that sentence in the Management Group.

In the previous dungeon, the Club President was the traitor who killed 50 people single-handedly!

It was better to... just rely on himself!

The yellowed notebook contained the following words:

"On a summer night in 1812, my friend and I were in high spirits after drinking at a tavern, and I walked home alone holding an umbrella."

"It was pouring rain the whole way, and the wind was howling so fiercely that it nearly snatched the umbrella from my hand."

"Perhaps I had drunk too much; I felt very dizzy and nearly stumbled into a trash can on the way."

"As I left the main road and entered a narrow alley, although I was getting closer to home, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Coupled with the broken streetlights and dim lighting, I even needed to rely on lightning flashes to see my surroundings clearly."

"I know I'm not a peerless beauty, but in this border town, I can be considered quite outstanding."

"Recent news reports have constantly stated that many people are mysteriously disappearing at midnight. Combined with the performance I went to see with my friends tonight, I felt even more afraid."

"Under the influence of alcohol, I felt my brain becoming increasingly chaotic, and I even started to hallucinate."

"Every time I crossed an intersection, I couldn't help but fantasize: was someone following me from behind? Or was there someone in the neighboring alley, secretly peeking at me from the darkness?"

"I could feel my heartbeat quickening, thumping like a drum."

"Just as I quickened my pace and passed through the last alley, I accidentally bumped into someone. The other person was a tall man wearing a black suit with a sturdy, powerful chest."

"Due to panic and Fear, I should have fallen into his arms, but I subconsciously sat down on the ground instead."

"The cold water soaked into my skin, traveling from my hip bone throughout my entire body. At that moment, my body was completely paralyzed, and I couldn't move at all."

"The other person seemed to say to me: 'Sorry.'"

"Then he reached out his hand to me and gentlemanly covered my head with his umbrella. In this cold night, the appearance of such a tall and powerful man made me feel a spark of affection."

"Just as I looked at him with expectation, wanting to take his hand and see what he looked like."

"A bolt of lightning struck behind us. Although it only lasted for a short second and vanished in a flash, I saw his appearance clearly!"

"I will never be able to forget that terrifying night; I even feel like it was a dream."

"At that time, I was sitting on the icy, wet ground, lifting my neck to meet the gaze of the man standing there."

"Extending from the collar of that suit was not a man's head, but the head of a Doberman!"

"This was a Doberman-headed Monster with eyes gleaming with an eerie yellow light!"

The note ended there.

After Chen Mo finished reading it entirely, something even more bizarre happened.

The note in Chen Mo's hand suddenly curled up at one corner like a lit candle, then gradually withered away, turning into a pool of white liquid lying in Chen Mo's palm.

Swallowing hard, Chen Mo had a bad premonition.

Demons, Doberman-headed Monster, wax figures...

Plus, the players' abilities were restricted.

This dungeon... was highly dangerous!

"Helping Grandma Run Red Light: Uh... the script doesn't say this. According to the script, this should be the interactive segment where the priest comes out. Did you guys change the script?"

"I Am Not Mentally Ill: Doberman-headed Monster? What the heck is that?"

"Blooming Chrysanthemum: I'm wondering... could it be that Many Children Many Blessings triggered a hidden plot again? Can we get a raise again?"

"Break Up With Math: From a probability standpoint, this is unlikely. Small probability events occurring consecutively at the same point is pure nonsense, unless someone is manipulating the probability, just like some stock traders."

"Break Up With Math: Wait! I have already broken up with math, damn it! I cannot remarry math, absolutely not!"

"Disturbing the Moon: (Facepalm) Haha, Brother Math is going to die again!"

"Lao Ba: What does that mean? I joined later. Can you share the gossip about Brother Math?"

"Disturbing the Moon: He was originally a famous math PhD, but because he couldn't solve a problem he had been researching for 10 whole years, and even locked himself in a private Villa for a month, he developed claustrophobia."

"Disturbing the Moon: When his good friend came to discuss it with him, they found that Brother Math had already hanged himself, so that's why he broke up with math."

"Break Up With Math: Little Moon, how could you do this..."

"Blooming Chrysanthemum: In any case, the main plot shouldn't change. Next should be the priest arranging accommodation for Many Children Many Blessings and the others."

"Blooming Chrysanthemum: Ghosts will appear at night; as long as you stay in the Dormitory, it's safe."

Sure enough, after Lu Chengfeng and the others finished peeking.

The church doors were pushed open, and a priest holding a Bible walked out.

"Everyone, interrupting others while they are praying is not a good thing!"

Fortunately, the priest was a human, not a Doberman-headed Monster.

"Seeing that you all must be travelers, why not... stay here tonight?"

Meng Zhou stroked his chin, looking at the priest in front of him, always feeling that something was wrong.

Su Qing and Xu Xiaoman hid behind Chen Mo, one on each side.

Lu Chengfeng reached his hand into his holster, ensuring that if the other party made any suspicious moves, he could suppress them immediately.

The Club President was observing Chen Mo's actions from the side.

The priest scanned the people in front of him one by one, finally stopping on Chen Mo. He leaned his face in and sniffed with his nose.

He said: "You have a strange smell on you."
