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

"..."

Selene seemed to be completely depressed this time. Her face was gloomy and she put down the rapier in her hand listlessly and powerlessly.

Just like the existence of monsters themselves, the fact that the Inquisitors, the Inquisitors, and the Popes of the Holy Kingdom had personally taken action to subdue monsters was also a top secret.

Of course, the results were all failures.

Not only was he unable to enter the boss room, but even the sacred barrier cast with all his might by the popes could only prevent further corruption from the true abyss.

The crusade failed, but the four people who participated in it were people who would never betray their oaths and beliefs. Furthermore, there were only four people who participated in the crusade.

In other words, the fact that the Popes had once attempted to work together to defeat the monsters existing underground in the Holy Kingdom was unknown to anyone other than these four.

That's the way it is.

"How... How is it possible... You can't even do this..."

"There must be a way to defeat that monster, Inquisitor."

Lin Yinxi looked into Selene's trembling purple eyes.

"Please look at this."

He raised the back of his left hand to her eyes.

Purple eyes, filled with complex emotions, looked at the rune marks on the back of his hand. In addition to the mark symbolizing the "vitality enhancement" rune, there was another rune mark intertwined with it.

"This is the key. If you obtain this rune in the Abyss Labyrinth, you can enter the real 'Abyss' without any obstacles."

"......Really?"

"Do I have any reason to lie in this situation?"

"But...but...that's impossible..."

"Is it impossible?"

"That monster, a monster that neither the Inquisitor, nor I, nor even His Holiness the Pope himself, could defeat. A monster that even we, the beings closest to our faith, couldn't afford to offend. How could you, alone..."

"I didn't expect the Inquisitor to say something like this. You should have all seen what I've done so far."

Selene flinched. Lin Yinxi smiled softly and continued:

"Do you think that an ordinary person could make His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire so interested in a new knight from a marginal territory?

Even when His Holiness the Pope invited me to the Holy Kingdom, the Inquisitor had to go to the Empire in person to explain.

Do you think the average person can do this? Do you think it's possible?"

"..."

"Do you think it's possible to possess divine power without faith?!"

"..."

"I easily conquered a maze that the Holy Kingdom had failed to conquer several times, and I came back alone. Do you think this is possible?!!"

"..."

"Sister Lucia, who fell to the bottom of the abyss over ten years ago, has returned to the embrace of the sun. Do you think... is this possible...?"

"..."

Selene had no answer to Lin Yinxi's question.

He didn't exaggerate, he just calmly explained what he had done.

Even so, even though those things seemed impossible, Lin Yinxi had already proven that he could make the impossible possible. That was why he could stand here and have this conversation with her.

"Whether I can do it, whether it's even possible, is entirely up to me to decide. Inquisitor, I can say this before you right now: I alone can defeat that monster."

Selene's eyes were even more bewildered than before, because at this moment, she didn't dare to blindly believe Lin Yinxi's words, nor could she believe them completely.

What if? She was in a dilemma.

"I completely understand how you feel. I completely understand your emotions. You must still be feeling uneasy. I won't ask you to trust me right now."

This is a process of completely uprooting the beliefs that Selene has always maintained, renovating them from scratch, and replacing them.

He never thought that a few words from him could make him believe, he never expected it.

"And I'll prove to you what I say."

"......prove?"

Selene reluctantly opened her mouth. Lin Yinxi smiled faintly and answered her with a chuckle.

"How to defeat that monster. From now on, I will tell you step by step in detail."

......

Meanwhile, at Stella's private residence.

'May you find rest in God's arms.'

Stella prayed for several hours, then slowly stood up.

Although she knelt on her knees throughout the prayer, she did not feel any pain or numbness in her legs.

What is even more heartbreaking is the heartache for Lucia who has suffered in the abyss for so long, and the guilt for not being able to protect and save her.

Guilt always filled her heart.

On the other hand, gratitude towards someone has always been firmly rooted in a corner of her heart, occupying a place.

"Thanks you."

Apparently, the first encounter was a bad one, as she casually accused a man of heresy when he had committed no crime.

Think about how heretics are treated in the Holy Kingdom. Even if they are insulted, they can only remain speechless.

Being judged as a heretic, Stella couldn't imagine how insulted he would feel as the person involved.

Under such circumstances, he still calmly gave Lucia the chance to rest in peace, and also gave Stella the opportunity to redeem herself and say goodbye.

This was something she had longed to do for over a decade but hadn't been able to do.

However, she had no idea how to repay this favor.

'...if there's anything he wants, no matter what it is...'

Stella made up her mind, prayed to Lucia's Holy Catalyst, and turned around.

——Knock knock knock knock.

The timing was perfect, and there was a knock on the door.

crunch--

"Is there a problem?"

"We have a visitor."

"Guest...who?"

"He is a new knight named Lin Yinxi, accompanied by the Selene Inquisitor."

When Stella heard the name, her heart beat faster and her heartbeat quickened slightly. Her face also turned a little red.

She tried to calm her violently beating heart, suppressed her pounding heart, and asked in a calm voice:

"Did he say what his purpose was?"

"He said he couldn't tell us."

Something that couldn't be told to the Sisters of Battle. Although she didn't know what it was, Stella instinctively sensed that it was something very important.

"I see. I'll be there soon. Please arrange their positions first."

"Yes."

The figure of the nun who came to report became distant.

In the room, Stella straightened her clothes and combed her hair in front of the mirror, then cleared her throat and walked briskly towards where the two of them were waiting.

106. Persuasion

"Dear guest, please wait here."

After following the footsteps of the combat nun to the reception location, Lin Yinxi had just sat down on the sofa when steaming hot tea and biscuits with strange shapes like bread were immediately served in front of him.

It seems that whether in the Empire or the Holy Kingdom, it is customary to provide refreshments while guests are waiting.

"The Inquisitor will be here soon."

The nun who brought the refreshments glanced at Lin Yinxi, then shyly stepped back, stammered out these words, and disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.

Including the nun in front of him who shyly disappeared after serving him tea, all the nuns he met along the way were not strangers in his eyes, at least he had met them once.

In order to determine whether Lin Yinxi was a heretic, they performed a collective striptease in front of him, so he was deeply impressed and would never forget it.

Now it seems that not only I was impressed, but also the people who performed the strip show seemed to have the scene firmly engraved in their minds.

Along the way, the nuns were too embarrassed to look him in the eye.

The way they were at a loss and shyly made eye contact was really funny.

Even if their eyes met occasionally, they would be so scared that they would run away quickly.

Whether they behaved this way because they had performed a striptease in front of him, or because they felt guilty for unfoundedly accusing him of heresy, was unknown.

Lin Yinxi didn't pay much attention to the nun who had disappeared from his side without a trace since who knows when, and took a sip of tea.

"Tsk, this tea is not my type."

Then, I started to shudder because of the taste of the tea.

As soon as the tea touched his tongue, he couldn't help but frown.

The smell brought back memories from before he traveled through time, just like the white snake grass water his parents had let him drink when he was a child, the sour, salty and fishy smell went straight to his head.

Lin Yinxi tried hard to control his facial expression, and with a serious expression, he grabbed a piece of biscuit that looked like bread, ready to use it to clear his throat.

'...'

But that didn't really make him feel any better.

These cookies taste dry. This is what dried sweet potatoes taste like if you boiled sweet potatoes and exposed them to the sun for three days or so.

Instead, I felt that the moisture in my mouth was absorbed by the biscuit.

Lin Yinxi wisely chose to give up tasting it.

It seems that this tea is really not suitable for me...

He turned his head and looked at Selene who was sitting beside him.

At this moment, she was literally like her soul had left her body, staring blankly ahead with an expressionless face, motionless.

In any case, the shock seemed too great.

Lin Yinxi didn't want to disturb Selene who was lost in thought, so he chose to keep silent.

There was only silence and stillness in the empty reception room. The only sounds that could be heard were the trembling sounds made by Lin Yinxi when he drank tea and the dry sounds of chewing biscuits.

"Sorry, were you waiting for so long?"

Just as he mustered up his courage and swallowed the third sip of tea with difficulty, Stella suddenly opened the door and walked in.

Her green eyes lingered on Lin Yinxi for a moment, then moved towards Selene who was sitting on the left.

She saw Selene's dazed look and tilted her head in confusion.

"What's wrong with this, Inquisitor?"

"Well... because of something."

"That seems to be a very serious matter. It has made her so devastated."

Stella sat on the sofa opposite Lin Yinxi. The moment she sat down, because of the elasticity of the sofa and the gravity of the fall, the plumpness of her chest undulated, and the cloth covering the key parts also fluttered faintly in the breeze, and it felt like it was almost going to present an amazing scene.

"What brings you here, our distinguished guest?"
