Start Cthulhu with priest - Chapter 285

c283 282.【The Eye of Original Sin】

Different from the previous platforms that are similar with minor differences, seven stone slabs are inlaid on a tall and strong pillar.

It is likewise constructed entirely of bronze.

Five or six people embraced with open arms, but none of them completely embraced the bronze pillar.

At a glance, the top of the pillar is even less visible.

It inserted straight into the blue-gray sky, towering into the clouds, and connected with the invisible barrier covering the entire bronze city.

Go to the bronze pillar and look again.

There are also raised and entangled lines on the bronze pillars, like blood vessels protruding from the surface of people’s bodies.

They are continuously shrinking and expanding in a special rhythm.

It’s like the steady breathing of the human body, and it’s like the rhythm of the blood pulse.

Something is being transmitted to a higher position with the help of this special blood vessel, nourishing this majestic bronze pillar.

But in An Le’s view.

The bronze pillar itself is like a fruit tree.

And the cursed slate inlaid above is that it has bred the fruit that is already full and ripe.

If you observe carefully, you can find that the weird and mysterious lines on each stone slab coincide with the “vessels” on the bronze pillars.

The Slate of Original Sin was actually created in such a way?

Even An Le couldn’t help being surprised by this discovery.

Since this bronze pillar can give birth to cursed slabs, have other magical and weird existences been created in the long past?

However, the answer to this question is not important to the owner of this memory.

He approached directly towards the bronze pillars, and actively stretched out his “hand” to touch them.

It was only then that An Le discovered that the owner of the memory probably did not have a human form at all.

It is not so much a “hand”, but rather some kind of phantom body made of pure energy aggregation.

In terms of shape, it looks more like slender and soft soft tentacles.

They protrude out almost ignoring the distance.

Finally, gently touch the slate.

Up to this moment, An Le was finally able to see the complete pattern drawn on the stone slab.

Graphics poured into Anle’s eyes at the same time.

The filthy but brilliant color just now splashed out violently again.

It seemed that somewhere in the space was cut by a blade, and chaotic light and shadow leaked from it whistling.

An Le heard the indescribable scream again.

They come from the universe, from the stars, from the pure darkness called “empty”…

It even comes from… the depths of the human soul!

Vaguely, An Le seemed to hear a deep whisper.

“All things evolve and alternate, only desire and sin are eternal.”

When he opened his eyes again, what An Le saw turned into his bedroom again.

It seemed that whether it was the light, shadow, color, or the ancient bronze city full of horror and absurdity, they were all just hallucinations imagined by him.

But An Le knew that this was absolutely not the case.

Everything he saw, heard, and touched were all things that actually happened in the distant ancient times.

Only by using the original sin slate itself to capture and record those shocking past events, and unfold the tip of the iceberg in front of An Le.

Even now, from the corner of An Le’s eyes, he can still see some chaotic and frenzied colors.

The tip of the nose can smell the rusty smell unique to bronze.

That piece of blue-gray sky, as if across a long age, came to his side.

Wait until these abnormal senses completely subside.

An Le was silent for a moment, silently calming down his mood, and then looked at the panel in front of him.

[Filthy sanity +24! 】

[Filthy sanity +35! 】

[Filthy sanity +19! 】

【…】

There are several prompts generated by filthy sanity on the panel.

The amount of each item is quite low.

This shows that even if it is only a bubble that has disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, it still has a real impact on the happiness that has been substituted into it.

If it is an ordinary person, if he reads this memory, there is a high probability that he will become a lunatic who loses his mind, and will live forever in a world that ordinary people cannot understand.

Apart from this reminder, what makes An Le’s expression slightly happy is——

[Six Desires and Seven Crimes Citation Method (Abyss Level) (+0) → (+5)! 】

This gift was directly raised from zero to “+5.”

From the perspective of filthy sanity, this saved Anle 50,000 points of filthy sanity.

Even with his current daily net profit, he would have to earn for a long time.

Of course, An Le also knew that such a mindless conversion could not be done.

In fact, this gift, like [Distortion Healing], cannot be upgraded directly by adding points.

The reason why An Le was able to improve so quickly this time was naturally because he absorbed a large number of slate fragments.

Moreover, An Le quickly found out that although he had absorbed a lot of slab fragments before, he hadn’t revealed the reason for his skill upgrade.

[Greedy Slate (52/100)]

[Slate of Pride (45/100)]

【Slate of Jealousy (29/100)】

[Gluttony Slate (31/100)]

【Slate of Lust (25/100)】

【Slate of Anger (21/100)】

【Lazy Slate (15/100)】

Not only has the progress bar of each original sin slate been greatly advanced, but more importantly, now Anle has finally collected all seven slates.

Come to think of it, it is precisely because of this that the overall progress of [Six Desires and Seven Sins] is considered to be on the right track.

The display on the panel changes accordingly.

Although none of the stone slabs have reached 100% progress, at least they have collected slates of lust, laziness, etc. that were not there before.

Not to mention the other original sin slates.

The slate of lust has a great effect on peace and happiness.

If he could have obtained this piece earlier, he would not have been forcibly occupied by that Black Mountain beauty.

Even now, it is still of great use.

As the ancient dragon’s blood became stronger in An Le’s body, its negative effects became more and more obvious.

The description about it is really not wrong.

[Owning the spine of an ancient dragon, one will possess extraordinary physique and inhuman strength, but one may also gradually become addicted to hunting and copulation, thereby forgetting one’s identity as a human. 】

[Mortals who worship dragons will eventually fall into the abyss, right? 】

The desire to have sex is okay, An Le can find Sai Lei to relieve it, and now there is a Montenegro beauty.

It just gets in the way sometimes.

But another tyrannical impulse to destroy was born from the blood of the ancient dragon.

If it is not handled properly, it may cause extremely serious consequences.

Now, Anle has gathered all these seven stone tablets, especially lust and anger.

All these negative effects can be suppressed.

This is undoubtedly a very practical ability.

Soon, An Le tried again the efficiency of the stone slab in absorbing the original sin, which was also greatly improved compared to before.

Just like the experience summed up before, the more slabs you absorb and the more complete you are, the stronger the effect of this gift will be.

An Le also officially unlocked a branch gift of the law of six desires and seven crimes.

【Eye of Original Sin】

【Desire and sin are hidden in the deepest part of people’s hearts. 】

[Some people only act in accordance with them, so they become slaves to original sin. 】

[But there are people who are sanctimonious and bury the original sin in their dirty and rotten hearts. 】

[Whether real or false, these eyes can see through them. 】

[All original sins have nowhere to hide in your eyes. 】

[However, is it really a kind of luck to be able to see the desires in people’s hearts? 】

A piece of fresh knowledge, probe into

This familiar way of describing made Anle feel quite friendly.

Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have not read such words for a long time.

There is no doubt that this is the full version of Anle’s ability to see different original sin colors on people.

For the same reason, after Anle collects seven kinds of stone tablets, it is officially unlocked and has its own name.

As for describing the hidden meaning in the last sentence.

Anle is easy to understand.

It was like the whisper whispering in his ear.

——All things evolve alternately, only desire and sin are eternal.

No matter how great a saint he seems, he may have his own desires.

It’s just that they seldom express this desire, or act in accordance with the original sin.

So in the eyes of outsiders, a saint is great and selfless.

The achievements they have made allow future generations to completely ignore this small flaw.

But if someone can see through their hearts, when they see the saints being tempted, they will be as shaken as ordinary people.

Mistakes can also be made.

It is inevitable that there will be some strange emotions.

For some devout believers, this is tantamount to a collapse of faith.

Even if you don’t mention these distant things, just talk about the people around you.

If you know the dark thoughts that are growing in their hearts, most people probably won’t be able to continue to trust them 100%, right?

An Le didn’t care much about this.

Since ancient times, it has been discussed regardless of the heart.

Even if some of his close people do have bad thoughts, Anle can accept it as long as he does not do anything that is not good for him on the bright side.

Moreover, the greatest difference between man and beast.

Isn’t it that the former can control their own desires?

*****

After examining the changes in himself after absorbing the slate, An Le had a thought and returned to reality.

This is still the suite where he lived before.

However, one can clearly feel that there are a lot of monitoring equipment and several strange atmospheres outside the suite.

Some of these “new friends” were arranged by Miki Montenegro.

The other part is the handwriting of the other two companies.

Through his performance at the Montenegro company dinner, An Le became famous in the first battle, and officially became a factor that cannot be ignored in the eyes of all parties.

But fame comes with more than better perks.

But also to bear more hostility from the dark.

It is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark.

This sentence is always very reasonable.

The purpose of Montenegro Miki making these arrangements is to protect Anle.

To be precise, it is to protect the people around An Le.

With An Le’s strength, why does he need the protection of others?

However, compared to the real strong, both Lin Jin and Chen Sisi are extremely weak.

If caught, the consequences would be disastrous.

An Le’s shadow servant was barely enough before, but at this stage, the safety of the two of them could no longer be guaranteed.

This part of the arrangement itself was implemented after An Le’s consent.

Otherwise, no one in the Montenegro company would dare to decide such a thing without authorization.

And the temptation from the other two companies is inevitable.

Whether it’s releasing good intentions or trying to test An Le’s partial attitude, for them, they have to try.

Even if, in fact, most people in the two major companies do not have hope for this.

Who made Anle the person that Meiji Montenegro valued?

Whether it is money or status, what they can give, Miki Montenegro can also give, and she will definitely give more.

As for beauty… Who can compare with this queen who is the dream lover of countless people in the abandoned city and who is at the top of the power of the Montenegro Company?

In fact, Miji Montenegro had invited An Le and wanted him to live in the room where she was.

But after thinking it over and over again, An Le still refused.

“Doctor, do you need a meal?”

An Le pushed open the door, and heard Lin Jin’s gentle questioning.

“No, no, I’m going out for a while.”

An Le was responding casually, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a pink halo flowing around Lin Jin’s body, mixed with dots of red.

This is naturally the effect of the Eye of Original Sin.

The original sin of bad pink is obvious.

And red, it should be… Anger?

Maybe it was because of the matter between himself and Meiji Montenegro that made Lin Jin a little sullen?

An Le was slightly speechless.

Anyway, the concentration of this pink is too exaggerated.

An Le even suspected that if Lin Jin was given a chance, she would grab it without hesitation.

However, he didn’t have the time to coax the little girl right now.

Tentacles protruded from the ground and touched Lin Jin’s body.

[Filthy sanity +4! 】

[Filthy sanity +2! 】

[Filthy sanity +7! 】

【…】

A series of numbers with the same experience value flashed past.

When An Le left the door, the two colors on Lin Jin’s body almost disappeared.

Her eyes are clear, but it is because they are so clear that she has a somewhat “sage mode” temperament.

Like a nun who wants nothing.

Lin Jin even began to think about the meaning of life – why do people exist?

Why can the abandoned city stand for so many years?

How should the poor fight for their rights and change their destiny?

An Le knew nothing about Lin Jin’s contemplation behind him.

He would probably feel very relieved if he knew it.

Thinking about this, wouldn’t it be better than greedy for your body all day long?

After leaving the building, An Le quickly changed his face with the help of stone slabs, and walked through several winding alleys, throwing off the breath following him.

Immediately afterwards, he walked towards the black market that he had been to before.

An Le has not forgotten that he still has an unfinished deal with the “grandmother spider” in the black market!

Of course, the current An Le doesn’t care much about the so-called “gene optimization liquid”.

If he asked Miki Montenegro, he would probably get it, and the quality would probably be even better.

But Anle is still very contractual.

Since Granny Spider has made a soul vow, it’s not too much of a hindrance to stop by.

Follow the impression I came to the black market last time.

An Le walked through the crowd, through relatively complicated passages, and in the black market.

He clearly felt that the current black market was more active than last time, with more people coming and going and a stronger atmosphere.

Among the items sold, there are quite a few weapons and extraordinary relics used in battle.

An Le vaguely smelled… the breath of war.

He shook his head slightly, and continued walking towards Granny Spider’s shop.

But when he came to the door of the store, An Le frowned slightly.
