Chapter 179

Shaoyao's voice was low, slightly trembling, and reached her ears clearly.

Wen Jianyan was immediately shocked.

Before Shaoyao left, the coffin was still closed?

In other words, during the time she left, the cover of the sarcophagus was pushed open, by whom? The corpse inside?

Various speculations emerged in my mind, leaning in an increasingly dangerous direction.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the open sarcophagus in the distance, and whispered:

"I'll go take a look."

"Wait...what?" Shaoyao was shocked and seemed to want to say something else, but Wen Jianyan shook her head and stopped her:

"Just wait inside."

Wen Jianyan is of clear mind and will not do anything stupid that is tantamount to killing.

First of all, they had been in for a while, but there was no sign of being attacked. Secondly, Team Luce had been able to complete two missions near the sarcophagus without incident. Moreover, if they wanted to complete the mission, they had to get close to the sarcophagus no matter what.

Yes, then, even if the things in the sarcophagus are dangerous, they will not be so dangerous that they will be killed immediately upon seeing them.

However, just as a precaution, he turned around and gave a few instructions to Su Cheng and Huang Mao before taking steps towards the coffin.

The entire underground tomb was shrouded in dark shadows, with heavy black shadows swaying in the weak light and floating on the cold stone coffins. In the dead silence, only the lonely footsteps of the young man could be heard, walking towards the sermon step by step.

Go to the stage.

Quickly, Wen Jianyan was only a few steps away from the open sarcophagus, so close that he could see the lines and floating dust on the stone.

He took a deep breath, carefully and slowly walked up the steps, and then looked into the sarcophagus——

Behind the scenes, the hearts of Su Cheng and others were raised tightly, and they lowered their voices and asked:

"How about it?"

"..." Wen Jianyan straightened up, turned to everyone and shook his head: "It's empty."

He leaned over, stretched out his hand to the lid of the sarcophagus, and picked up something: "Just one."

Several people were stunned and stepped forward one after another.

What Wen Jianyan was holding in his hand was a palm-sized black book with gilded characters printed on the cover.

【bible】

"Wait a minute, is this..." Shaoyao was startled and her eyes widened slightly.

Wen Jianyan nodded: "It's an ordinary level hidden prop."

The moment his fingers touched the prop, a familiar system sound rang in his ears, confirming his guess.

In the dean's room at that time, they found two ordinary-level hidden props. Luce and Wen Jianyan each took one, and the prop in his hand was exactly the prop that Luce had taken away.

After getting the affirmative answer, Shaoyao's face became even paler.

Generally speaking, after the anchor dies, the hidden props they carry will fall off. After seeing the Bible in Wen Jianyan's hand, she realized that her teammates were probably in danger.

The other two people looked into the sarcophagus.

Sure enough, Wen Jianyan was not lying. Except for the Bible that he had taken away, there was nothing in the thick sarcophagus. None of the horrific scenes they imagined appeared, only a small cold and empty space.

Su Cheng and Huang Mao, who were extremely nervous just now, could not help but relax briefly.

Looking at the prop in his palm, Wen Jianyan's expression did not relax at all.

If something had really attacked him just now, whether it was a rotting corpse or a living corpse, the threat would not be too great as long as all of them were on standby.

But...the empty coffin is different.

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes and looked around in the huge underground tomb.

It was "empty" and "dang", cold and dead, and each sarcophagus stayed quietly in its place, with no place to hide.

He frowned slightly and looked up at the taskbar beside him.

After signing a subordination contract with Shaoyao, the activated epic props tasks and the task progress have all been shared with him naturally. It can be seen on the floating task panel that 2 tasks have been completed.

/3, only the last step is left to get the final task reward.

That is to say, after that, they must complete the last sacrament there.

Completing the mission is dangerous, but if something goes wrong in the middle...

Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes and looked solemn.

"What about us picking him up?" Su Cheng looked at Wen Jianyan and asked.

Wen Jianyan looked away and took a deep breath:

"Swift victory."

Although an empty coffin is a hidden danger that has not yet been solved, there is not much time left for them. Even if it is risky, they have to bite the bullet.

Of the seven sacraments, Luce's team had already completed two. They chose confession for the last one, but almost everyone was involved in it.

Wen Jianyan turned to look at the confession room next to her.

The confessional is not big, it is a dark wooden structure, it looks a bit old, and exudes blood that has been settling for a long time. Thick dark green curtains hang down, completely covering the windows on both sides, leaving no gaps.

The door of the small room where sinners confessed was half open, but the door of the room where the priest was sitting was closed.

Shaoyao noticed Wen Jianyan's gaze and said, "That room can't be opened. We tried."

On the floating task bar, the method for completing the project is written: All the anchor needs to do is to walk into the confessional and sincerely confess to the priest the sins he has committed.

Everyone's eyes fell on the closed room.

In other words...in a small, dead, soundless space, there is really a priest who is either human or ghost sitting, listening to the sinners' confessions?

This imagination makes everyone shudder.

Mainly, since Wen Jianyan inherited the mission progress of Luce and the others, his task bar only regarded the "operation" requirements of a project.

However, the Seven Sacraments are not imitations and reproductions of reality. Each project has its own "operational requirements." In other words, the anchor cannot skip the system prompts and directly rely on the real-world sacramental process.

Understand it and complete another task directly.

Moreover, according to what Shaoyao said, their mission was taken in front of the sarcophagus. Now, the lid of the sarcophagus is opened and the "being" inside has disappeared. Even if Wen Jianyan wants to give up the progress and start over

, it may not be possible anymore - giving up the current progress may be equivalent to directly abolishing the only way to obtain epic items.

The only way before him is to complete "repentance".

Wen Jianyan turned to look at Shaoyao: "Everything that happened after my teammates entered the confession room, tell me exactly. Don't miss any details."

Shaoyao nodded and began to tell the story from the beginning in detail.

After selecting the "Confess" item, the method of completing the task appeared on the taskbar. Since there was no prompt, the first person among them could only walk in with his eyes black.

.

What followed was a long and excruciating wait.

Minutes later, the tightly closed door of the confessional suddenly seemed to have lost its confinement and slowly slid open again, revealing a narrow gap.

Luce noticed something was wrong and immediately activated the props to try to pull the person out, but the props failed and there was dead silence inside the confessional door.

The confessional is empty.

The first person failed. Luce could not contact his teammates and did not know the reason for their failure. Outside the confession room, the clues he could capture were poor, but he still made relevant inferences as much as possible, and according to the

This has activated some life-saving items that may be useful, which can be said to be a complete preparation.

But, minutes later, the door to the confessional slid open.

It was empty and empty inside.

The narrow wooden space was closed and dark, but it seemed like a hidden invisible mouth, swallowing the figures of two people one after another, and then slowly opened again, waiting for a victim to enter.

Shaoyao was scared.

She knew that there was some kind of terrible power hidden in the confession room. If she entered it, there would be no chance of survival, so...she escaped without any hope.

As he said this, the expression on Shaoyao's face darkened, and she bit her lip consciously, looking both ashamed and sad.

However, no one has the right to accuse her of being cowardly.

However, the confession room could only swallow two senior anchors one after another, especially Luce, who was the second to enter. Before entering, he had made all the preparations he could. Even Wen Jianyan himself might not be able to do it.

It got better, but still disappeared inside silently.

Rushing in under such circumstances is tantamount to death.

But Shaoyao actually had the courage to come back, which was already a matter of disagreement.

Based on the clues provided by Shaoyao, Wen Jianyan fell into deep thought.

There isn't much information in the taskbar about how the sacrament of Penance should be done.

All he can do now is contact reality.
