Chapter 65: Father Matthew, Run! |
“Maybe this is some kind of special Scripted-Kill CG.”
“That must be it.”
“Let’s wait and see. If it’s a Scripted-Kill CG, then it’s understandable...”
Jiang Chen forcibly comforted himself while staring fixedly at Matthew.
Waiting for the follow-up Scripted-Kill CG.
At this moment, listening to Lord Evil God’s words, Vivian subconsciously swallowed nervously.
No matter what happened normally, Lord Evil God always gave Vivian the feeling that everything was under control.
Vivian had never once seen Lord Evil God get angry over something.
Although Vivian could not understand what “CG” meant, nor did she understand what “stealing the kill” meant—
But why?
Father Matthew was obviously helping them fight against the Monster!
Why was Lord Evil God so angry?
Vivian could not understand it at all.
.....
Meanwhile, looking at the already dead Octopus Monster, Father Matthew slowly walked toward Vivian.
“Miss Vivian, we meet again.”
“Mhm.” Vivian answered indifferently.
“I never expected it to be such a dangerous Monster.” Seemingly not noticing Vivian’s abnormal reaction, Father Matthew turned and once more looked toward the Octopus Monster’s gigantic corpse.
However, what Father Matthew did not know was that the instant he turned around, Vivian completely panicked.
Ahhh! Father, run!
RUN!
At this moment, Vivian was screaming frantically in her heart.
Because she heard the Evil God’s calm voice.
This voice gave Vivian the feeling of calmness after anger had reached its absolute extreme.
“Very good. Looks like this NPC doesn’t have any special tricks. He simply came here to steal the kill.”
“It’s fine if you’ve got no tricks. I’ve got tricks of my own here.”
The instant Lord Evil God’s words fell, Vivian could clearly feel her hand gripping the blood-red scythe tighten slightly.
In an instant, Vivian’s heart nearly jumped into her throat.
Yet right at this moment...
“What an exhilarating battle this truly was.”
“However, justice will always triumph over evil. This Monster has ultimately been brought to justice by me.” Matthew’s voice rang out once more.
The moment Father Matthew finished speaking—
For some reason, Vivian could even sense a faint killing intent in the air.
It’s over!
Vivian thought despairingly.
There was no need to think about it. Lord Evil God was preparing to attack Father Matthew.
Although Vivian wanted to stop him, clearly that was impossible.
“Very good. The matter with the Enforcement Officers still hasn’t been resolved, and now there’s also the Church involved.”
“Wonderful.”
“Lord Evil God’s afraid I won’t die thoroughly enough, so he’s specially adding another layer of insurance for me.”
At this moment, Father Matthew’s attention was focused entirely on the Octopus Monster’s corpse, completely unaware that behind him, Vivian had already raised the blood-red scythe.
“Vivian, are you alright?”
Right as they were about to attack, Lilith’s voice came from behind.
At the same time, Aelia also arrived with the other Enforcement Officers.
Hearing the voices from behind, Vivian secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Surely Lord Evil God would not attack someone in front of this many people, right?
That was what Vivian thought.
But clearly, Vivian was overthinking things.
Lord Evil God’s movements did not pause at all.
No, seriously... just how much hatred and resentment was this?!
It’s unnecessary...
It’s really unnecessary!
Yet right at that moment, Matthew’s voice rang out again.
“However, things are far from over.”
“Just now, I discovered that many evil auras suddenly appeared throughout Silvermoon City.”
“It should be inseparable from this Monster.”
“As a priest, I absolutely cannot allow these filthy creatures to cause chaos within Silvermoon City. Therefore, Miss Vivian, I may require your assistance.”
.......
【Quest: Eliminate the hidden evil Cultists within Silvermoon City.】
【Quest Description: Father Matthew requires the player’s assistance in cleansing the evil Cultists within Silvermoon City.】
【Quest Reward: ???】
Seeing the prompt, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.
A Quest had been triggered.
He subconsciously clicked accept.
“So I guessed correctly. It really was a Scripted-Kill CG.”
Just as Jiang Chen was still thinking this, Father Matthew, after explaining the situation, turned around.
“So Miss Vivian, a righteous person like you will help me... right...?”
Looking at Vivian holding up the blood-red scythe, Father Matthew froze.
“Miss Vivian, what are you doing?”
Very obviously, Lord Evil God was preparing to chop you!
Vivian felt rather speechless. It was so obvious—could he really not tell?
However...
“I’m putting away my weapon,” Vivian answered.
“Putting away your weapon?” Father Matthew looked puzzled.
Then, under his gaze, the blood-red scythe transformed shape and became a pink Lolita-style parasol.
The parasol opened, and while holding it, Vivian brushed aside one side of her ponytail.
“As you can see, my weapon can normally be used to block sunlight.”
Hearing this, Matthew subconsciously looked toward the full moon hanging in the sky, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
“You still need to block sunlight at night?”
“That’s not important. What’s important is that I agree to what you just said,” Vivian replied.
Matthew visibly relaxed.
“Miss Vivian, I truly did not misjudge you. You really are a beautiful, righteous, and kind person.”
“Naturally.” The latter accepted the praise without the slightest psychological burden.
Listening to their conversation, Vivian felt somewhat speechless.
Although Lord Evil God appeared to be chatting and laughing with Father Matthew on the surface, in reality it was nothing like that at all.
At this moment, Lord Evil God had been muttering the entire time.
This kind of plot was completely unnecessary. Why did the final hit have to belong to an NPC?
Even though the kill had been stolen during a Scripted-Kill CG, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
After clearing out those Cultists, could he perhaps kill Father Matthew afterward as well, and so on.
This made Vivian silently worry for Father Matthew’s future.
Clearly, Lord Evil God still had not let the matter go.
While Vivian was still letting her thoughts wander wildly, Lilith and the others also arrived.
Seeing Father Matthew present, everyone exchanged another round of greetings.
Immediately afterward, Father Matthew informed them of everything he had discovered.
“So Father Matthew, are you saying that many Cultists within Silvermoon City are currently carrying out some sort of evil plan?” Aelia asked.
Hearing this, Father Matthew nodded.
“Just now, while killing this Monster, I clearly sensed a special evil aura.”
“It was obvious that before dying, it seemed to have done something.”
“Therefore, I suggest that Miss Aelia immediately send people to investigate Silvermoon City thoroughly.”
Hearing this, Aelia nodded as well.
Meanwhile, listening to everyone’s discussion, Vivian felt increasingly terrified.
The reason was simple.
Lord Evil God seemed once again unable to resist attacking.
Especially after hearing Father Matthew say that he had personally killed the Monster.
Father Matthew, please use your brain and talk less. Otherwise, I’m genuinely worried Lord Evil God won’t be able to resist attacking you.
Vivian could only silently pray in her heart.
