How to survive in a soul-based game with full female mods

"And this damn Holy Kingdom!"

I was eating hot pot and singing in the Knights' Order when I was suddenly robbed by the Holy Kingdom!

What on earth does the Pope want to do? It is really doubtful that she suddenly said such disturbing DLC ​​plot lines at this time.

Just as Lin Yinxi was resting in his wild thoughts, as if to prove that Lucia had been defeated, the surrounding black mud was washed away, revealing a rune stele embedded in the wall.

The runes carved into the stone tablet emitted a faint green light.

He could have just taken the rune and left here directly and returned to the ground, but before that, he had some things that he had been regretting before the time travel to complete.

Lin Yinxi stood up from where he was and walked towards Lucia, whose whole body was melting and breathing heavily.

Since he used the Holy Catalyst more than twice during the battle, he met the activation conditions for the plot.

In fact, there will be no rewards for triggering this plot, but not everything needs to be done based on rewards.

Perhaps because she heard footsteps approaching, Lucia turned her head towards Lin Yinxi with difficulty, looking tired.

Her head was covered with black liquid and she couldn't even see clearly, but she miraculously adjusted her direction.

"...Who is it, next to me?"

Lucia's lips moved up and down.

101. Heaven is only for the pious

"Ah... I know who it is. It was you... who stopped me. You allowed me, who had been sinking into the abyss of pain, to die as a human being."

Lying on the ground, Lucia's body began to collapse at an ever-increasing rate. Her lower legs had already melted away, as had her left arm.

Only her right shoulder was still moving ominously, as if she was not dead.

From the torn and exposed wound, you can see something trying to grow out of the cross-section.

But before her new right arm rises, she will go to her resting place, so Lin Yinxi chooses to let it go and just listen to her last words silently.

"Good man... could you please show mercy once more and listen to the lamentations of an unforgivable sinner like me?"

Lucia asked in a trembling voice. If this were a game, she'd be given the choice to listen or not.

If you choose "Don't Listen", the plot ends here. If you choose "Listen", the conversation will continue.

However, since I have come here from thousands of miles away and through so much trouble, there is no reason not to continue listening.

"I'll listen. Please tell me."

"You are such a kind person, thank you for your kindness."

Lucia smiled faintly, but black liquid overflowed from that smile.

As the black liquid flowed, her expression gave people the feeling that she was crying rather than smiling.

"I've forgotten how long ago I set foot here with dozens of devout battle sisters to conquer this abyss. Back then, I was still a holy sister."

Her voice became hazier.

"But this isn't a place we can destroy on our own... After making countless sacrifices, we ultimately failed."

Cough, cough, Lucia coughed softly. Black liquid flowed out from between her cracked lips, and a boiling gurgling sound came from her throat.

Lucia then vomited up the black liquid several more times. It seemed that only after she had vomited out everything in her mouth could she speak again, her voice even hoarseer than before.

"I was one of the victims. When I gave up on breaking through the abyss and prepared to return to the surface, a two-headed monster suddenly attacked me, and I fell under the bridge."

Unfortunately, Lucia, who fell off the bridge, survived and did not die.

If she had simply died from the impact of the fall, she could have been martyred as a holy nun, but in the end she survived in such humiliation, which was worse than death.

"I should have been dead, but for some reason I opened my eyes again. When I opened them... it was too late, the point of no return..."

Sadness gradually thickened in her voice, and her half-rotten face became distorted by pain.

"At first, I prayed fervently to the gods. I begged them to save me from this pain... I begged them to show their love and mercy to their followers."

That sadness turned into melancholy.

What she had done in the past, the blasphemies she had committed in her agony, now that she was regaining her holy identity as a nun, was hard to recall.

"But God never answered my prayers, not once. I began to blame Him in a very blasphemous way. I held grudges, swore, cursed, and committed all kinds of indescribable and unspeakable horrible acts."

As if to prove that Lucia's heart was wavering, the wound on her right shoulder began to throb more violently.

Lucia, sensing something unusual, stopped talking and began panting. A moment later, when she opened her mouth again, the movement on the surface had subsided.

"My resentment continued until you, a kind soul, came here and awakened me from my pain. You made me realize what an unforgivable sin I had committed."

Lucia's lips, stained with black liquid, trembled slightly.

"But you stopped me from this. You brought me back to the right path, allowing me to become a human being at the last moment and die as a nun serving God.

Even if the flame of my life is about to die, I don’t know how to repay the kindness I have received from you…”

She turned her head completely towards Lin Yinxi.

Even though both of her eyes were completely covered by black liquid and could not even function normally, for some reason, he could feel that she seemed to be looking at him.

"Merciful one, you must be from the Holy Kingdom. To be able to use the Holy Catalyst so freely, you must be a very pious person..."

Lucia mistakenly thought that Lin Yinxi was from the Holy Kingdom.

This is why the plot can only be triggered by using the Holy Catalyst placed in the boss room more than twice.

Only then will Lucia mistake the player for a "person from the Holy Kingdom" and make the next request.

If you use any other Holy Catalyst instead of the one in the Boss Room, it will not trigger at all. The specific reason is unknown.

One can only guess that the Holy Catalyst in the boss room was once possessed by Lucia herself.

Of course, Lucia had no idea that the Holy Catalyst she dropped had been contaminated, so she could use it even without faith.

“You are such a pious and kind person.”

The voice was wet, but the throat was dry and hoarse. He hesitated and finally uttered the next sentence.

"Can I...return to God's presence?"

Her words were choked with sobs, as if filled with tears. If her face was still intact, she would have been crying and asking questions.

"I insulted, cursed, and resented God... can I truly regain my position as a holy nun and enter God's arms?"

After saying this, Lucia closed her mouth and waited for his answer. Now, it was time for the second choice.

Yes. Or no.

If she chooses "no" here, she will be relieved and then cry out in sorrow, saying that this is just as it should be. After all, what hope is there for redemption for a sinner who insults holiness?

As for subsequent choices, players can let Lucia suffer here forever, or bring her peace with their own hands and finally leave Runeland.

In this case, there are additional branches as well.

If you choose to leave her alone, she will beg not to abandon her; if you kill her, she will be happy to be at peace, but also worried that she will fall into hell.

"Yes."

However, he had no intention of choosing that option.

"God will certainly welcome you back into His arms, regardless of the sins you have committed."

Even in the game, he never denied Lucia's words, so why would he choose to be cruel here now?

Whether Lucia truly returned to the divine embrace remains unknown. Even a careful reading of the game item's descriptions reveals no mention of this.

Perhaps both options can be considered lies.

However, most players didn't care about this and chose "yes", allowing Lucia to sleep peacefully. According to the 10th anniversary statistics, the proportion of players who chose "yes" for the first time through the Abyss was as high as 93%.

"Ahh... I'm so lucky. He's willing to accept even a sinner like me. He's so magnanimous."

The smile on Lucia's face deepened. It was a smile of immense satisfaction, devoid of any trace of sadness.

"Kind person... your kindness towards me is deeply engraved in my heart... Thank you. Although all I can offer you is this insignificant expression of gratitude... I hope that your sincerity can reach you..."

As her voice faded away, the sorrow and sigh expressed in every word she spoke gradually disappeared without a trace.

The sound was so small that it was almost inaudible, but the breathing sound coming from her nose was more soothing than before.

Lucia pursed her lips one last time.

"Merciful sun...Merciful moon...I, a sinner...will return...to you, my everything..."

As soon as the words fell, the lips that had been whispering stopped moving. The chest that rose and fell with every breath also stopped moving.

There was silence.

Lin Yinxi used two fingers to gently close her eyes, which were covered with black liquid and could not be closed.

This is the last thing I can do for you.

This was something he had always wanted to do in the game but hadn't been able to do, and now he had finally done it.

As for how to turn Lucia back into a human, it is not mentioned in the game, so he is powerless to do anything.

After closing her eyes, Lin Yinxi picked up Lucia's Holy Catalyst, which had fallen nearby. This was to be handed over to the Inquisitor later. The story didn't end there.

At this time, Lucia's body had turned into black liquid and began to melt slowly.

Lin Yinxi left her body and walked towards the rune stele.

As for the monster that will appear above,

Let the Knight Commander and the Inquisitors handle it.

......

At the same time, at the top of the abyss.

"Aren't you worried about his safety?"

"Huh? What?"

Selene looked at the Knight Commanders standing leisurely without any vigilance and asked with a puzzled tone.

Although she didn't know what monster would pop out from where and at what moment, she couldn't believe how carefree they looked.

"Didn't our distinguished guest jump down alone? How—"

"Ah, are you talking about Lin Yinxi?"

Liz pursed her lips and burst into laughter.

"That's what I thought at first, but then I thought about it and realized he had already explained everything to us this morning.

Although I was a bit startled because the word "jump" wasn't a metaphor but a fact... he always likes to give us these kinds of "surprises," and it's not the first time or the second time. I'm pretty much used to it now."

"...It sounds like he's done this kind of thing often before."

"He's done it many times. I think he scared us out of at least ten years of our lives, right? Hehe, anyway, I'll ask him to pay it back later."

"..."

"I know what you're thinking, but if you're worried about Lin Yinxi, don't worry about it."

Liz continued in a calm voice.

"He never breaks his word. Even if it sounds impossible and unrealistic, he'll come back calmly and confidently. Whoever worries loses."

“As ridiculous as it may sound, and more like nonsense, he is someone who is fully capable of following through on what he said.

He is fully capable of keeping his word, and this time he also said that he would conquer the 'Abyss' within 30 minutes, so let's wait and see, he should appear soon."

Erica added to Liz's words. After hearing their explanations, Selene decided to slightly modify her evaluation of Lin Yinxi.

Didn't he say he was a newcomer to the Knights? I really don't understand what he had done to earn the Knights' trust and reaction in such a short time.

Hmm...Okay, actually Selene seemed to understand a little bit.

Because she had seen with her own eyes, in the martial arts arena, he defeated the Heretic Inquisitor with an overwhelming advantage. His strength was absolutely unquestionable.

Let's put our worries aside for now.

"I'm not sure if you'll listen to us, but it's okay to take a break now. He said that when monsters appear, the scenery here will change noticeably."
