Thousand-Faced Dragon
Chapter 4: Don't Make a Sound
Chapter 4: Don't Make a Sound
This is the past story of a man who was too foolish and honest.
".Don't make a sound. No matter what happens, don't make a sound."
Sur Daon, I will never forget that scene.
As she stuffed herself into the small secret wine storage room under the bed, the mother covered her mouth and spoke with tears in her eyes.
"My dear, my dear, don't cry. Mommy loves you, Mommy loves you, Mommy loves you."
After hugging and kissing herself for the last time, the mother took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and left with her belongings.
In less than ten minutes, she was killed by the robbers in her own living room.
The screams, cries, wails and pleas for mercy of women would always wake up six-year-old Suer in the middle of the night and he would not be able to sleep the whole night.
For countless nights after that, whenever he closed his eyes, he felt as if he was back under the bed again.
He didn't dare open his eyes, as if once he opened them, he would see his mother enduring pain and despair.
She stared at herself with her mouth open and tear-filled eyes, trying to stop herself from getting out from under the bed.
He knew that this was an illusion. He covered his ears and head at the time, so he heard nothing and saw nothing.
The only thing I saw was the half of my mother's face, which was uncovered under the white cloth, with her eyes open in death.
".I am a coward."
There was no reason, no excuse. In the long and painful life that followed, Sur Daon regretted his timidity and cowardice countless times.
"I will never let evil go!"
Yes, why was I so timid back then that I didn’t even have the courage to rush out and protect the one I loved the most?
Why, I don't even have the courage to rush out and die together
"I will never give up protecting the innocent and weak!"
Mother, I miss you so much.
My sword will always be wielded for the weak, for those like you.
"Justice, never compromise."
I would rather die on the road of charging than remain in this living hell of regret and pain.
"Condemn!" Silver light waved, heads flew everywhere, but it was never satisfied.
This is a roar that transcends time, a resonance between heroic spirits and mortals, and a dream that is shattering.
"My head hurts, it hurts, tears?"
When Rean woke up from his sleep, he was a little confused. The regret and despair from the bottom of his heart made him extremely depressed.
"I'm Li Ensu, not Rean. Ahem, not Sur Daon, the most upright and stupid sworn knight." He understood where the warning about the dangers of self-awareness on the Heroic Soul Card came from.
A hero's origin is often tragic, and Sur Daon's was a bit too much.
He sat on the bed in the detention center for a long time before he caught his breath.
Fortunately, there seems to be a good person to vent my anger on.
"boom!"
With one last punch hitting the wall, ignoring a robber lying on the ground, Rean shook his numb wrist.
Six bruised and battered men were lying in a mess in the cell, huddled in the corner and shivering.
[Synchronization rate: 14.2%, satisfaction rate: 9.7%.]
The numbers on the ancient book jumped, and Li En licked the cracked corners of his mouth.
The guess was correct. The value of "Punish Evil" would indeed increase, but it would only increase a little. It seemed that such a weak "sin" could not satisfy Mr. Soul.
Rean has understood the usage of the Heroic Soul Card to a certain extent, which is a certain degree of "soul superposition state".
The initial fusion period can perhaps be called the period of synchronization rate explosion, which is when the heroic spirit has the strongest presence. Then it enters a stable period, and the synchronization rate is relatively stable.
When the two-week stabilization period ends and the effects of the Heroic Soul Cards disappear, how many of them remain depends on how satisfied the Heroic Soul is with you.
"extraordinary."
Li En didn't expect that he would come into contact with the reality of this supernatural world so quickly.
During the stabilization period, Rean also "decompressed" several of Soul's memory fragments.
The former great knight, even if it is just some fragmented memories, is much more effective than the books collected by Rean himself.
"Soul, body, and the skills and techniques of professional rank. Mind and body skills?
This is not an abstract description, but a real existence.
In this world, the body is the root of everything, the hardware that runs the software, and the cup filled with water.
"The beastmen in this world are actually able to continuously evolve. No wonder a degenerate species like me is considered useless."
Even the lizardman disguised as Rean can evolve into a shadow lizard with the ability to disguise its form (change color) or a stone lizard with skin as hard as iron through potions and extraordinary rituals.
Such advancement is equivalent to a species leap. Although it is extremely difficult, a strong person can still experience it several times in his lifetime.
A mortal stone can become a shining diamond, or even an immortal myth.
As far as Rean knew, there were raw stones above the inferior stone level in the race evaluation, and there was also colored gold above the raw stones, so the upper limit of evolution was quite high.
The leopard female police officer I met before should have advanced at least twice, and Sur seemed to have advanced four or five times, and was called a quasi-mythical species.
The body is the foundation of life, and the mind (soul) that carries skills (memory) is the source of life.
Skills or combat level are like the water in the cup, which is the software running on the hardware.
As a "degenerate species (inferior stone level)", Rean now has the "heart" of a strong man and indirectly possesses his skills (sixth-level oath knight).
Right now, he only had the rank of a second-tier Oathknight, and the temporary ranks of a first-tier Paladin and a Warrior. But as time went by, the cup kept leaking, destined to be lost.
What Rean needs most at the moment is whether he can gain the recognition of the heroic spirits during this period and leave more things through the resonance of the souls.
He clenched his fist, feeling very uncoordinated.
"It's like running Black Myth Wukong on a 1050 GPU computer with the highest graphics settings."
The complete form of the quasi-mythical Soul should be more than a sixth-level great knight. This was just the limit of Rean's 30% synchronization resonance yesterday. Now that Rean only has 10%, his performance is even more limited.
"If you are not good at it, practice more"
So, Rean picked up his fists and decided to find his roommates to practice more.
Even if you cannot gain synchronization rate and satisfaction, as long as you punish evil, not only will the "machine soul" be very happy, but you who resonate with it will also feel good.
But this time, it was stopped.
"Holy Oath, let those unlucky ones go."
The sound of key chains jingling could be heard from outside the iron fence. The leopard-eared policewoman stood in the morning light with her arms folded, her honey-colored tail flapping the air irritably.
"Someone will protect you."
This was completely beyond Li En's expectations. He had committed a serious crime and had no relatives or friends here. Who would protect him?
In the long corridor, apart from the prisoners' pleas, the only sound was the footsteps coming one after another.
The honey-colored tail in front of it swayed back and forth, making Rean feel a little itchy.
"Your breath is much weaker than yesterday."
The sudden words startled Lien. Could it be that he had been seen through?
"Sul", who had a 30% synchronization rate yesterday, is naturally much stronger than Rean, who has a 10% synchronization rate now. The sixth-level knight and the second-level knight cannot even be called the same species.
Even with accounts of the same level, the power exerted by advanced players and newbies is not on the same level.
If he had logged in yesterday, he would have had a hard time killing not only the noble young man who had obviously completed a racial transition, but also the bandits in the black shop.
Rean didn't know how to answer, but Talia's eyes were filled with more pity and respect.
"You've become a degenerate species, so your power should be constantly draining away. The chances you can retain to attack are precious. This time, you helped the police department eliminate a major problem. We owe you. If you need anything, just let us know."
What the hell is this? Li En was completely confused.
But in Talia's mind, a complete logical chain has been formed.
This respected Holy Oath Knight must have suffered damage to his foundation in the battle to protect justice, and he continued to lose strength in the process of degeneration and was forced to retire. Due to too many enemies in the past, he could only come to this foreign land to make a living.
The strength that he forcibly retained should be the support for his future life and the thing that saves his life. But in the face of evil and atrocities, how can this battle-hardened righteous man turn a blind eye to it?
Regardless of his oath or his sense of justice, he drew his sword without hesitation.
The "crazy law enforcement" on that day was probably because he realized that his strength was being lost to the point where he could no longer retain it, and he was trying to solve the problem once and for all.
His breath now is not even one tenth of yesterday's. His foundation must have been damaged, and it might even affect his lifespan. Degenerate species basically don't live long.
"Even in this state, he still risked everything to enforce justice and fulfill his oath. Doesn't he consider his own future?"
Talia, who figured all this out in the office at the time, was so moved that she shed tears.
".Our police station also needs some clerks. If you are willing, you can work here. We need senior experience, not combat missions."
At this moment, the prisoners in the nearby cells were stunned when they saw this scene.
Everyone knows that the leader of the third bureau in the dock area, "Explosive Claws Knife Girl", is fierce and ruthless. Who is this cat girl with a red face and pinching her tail?
Then, the prisoner was glared at by "Knife Girl" and didn't dare to say a word and just shrank into the cell.
Rean was a little confused. He didn't know how to respond. What on earth was going on? Was there something wrong with the plot development?
No matter how long the passage was, it was almost at the end. Talia fell silent after not receiving the expected response.
She didn't know what to say next.
This glorious and righteous classical knight had suffered enough, but now he had to endure the greatest humiliation a man could suffer.
"It's your fiancée who will protect you."
"What?"
At the end of the passage, there was already a woman waiting.
The desert rose tattoo winds across her graceful waist and finally disappears under the pearl-studded bodice.
She is the dream lover in the portrait carried by "Rean", the "fiancée" he has never met, the dazzling desert pearl Sallyman Sudar.
But at this moment, her eyes were cold.
"Her family has some objections to the marriage."
The whispered words were Talia's last sympathy.
The sorrow of the humiliation that is about to befall the noble and sad swearer before us.
Li En opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock.
"A classic broken engagement opening? Could it be that I'm the protagonist of this broken engagement story?"
