"Wiped out?
It's okay. Let's take a break and continue later. The boss's HP regeneration won't be that fast. "
Mo Shigui was teleported back to the Trial Tower in his soul form. He had to run back to the dungeon of the King's City through the Trial Tower in order to resurrect.
However, Mo Shigui knew that it was pointless. The healers of the Leaping Core Guild were all slaughtered by the Hornet Knight. The next second, the Hornet Knight targeted the group of shield-bearers in front of them.
With both the Tanks and healers dead, the only outcome was to be wiped out.
It was normal for a party to be wiped out in a dungeon, so the Clearers were not too affected. However, Mo Shigui, who was in his soul form, pondered for a long time.
If he wanted to resurrect now, he could only resurrect in the Resurrection Cathedral in Lionheart City.
The problem was … Mo Shigui looked at an item in his backpack that had turned gray.
"Broken Freya Amulet.
Quest Item
Description: This is an amulet that symbolizes the exhaustion of life force. In the crack of the amulet, there is a small line of words: "Good Holy Spirit, are you safe?"
Mo Shigui looked at the description of the item, and the first emotion that came to his mind was fear.
He did not even dare to click on the option to "resurrect in the Resurrection Cathedral."
Be rational!
Be rational!
Mo Shigui kept trying to control his emotions.
It was just an NPC.
Rationally speaking, it was just a bunch of data going from ON to OFF.
ON to OFF … ON to OFF … Life to Death …
The more Mo Shigui thought about it, the more he could not control his emotions. It was like knowing that his loved ones had been sent to the ICU.
He could only stand outside quietly and wait for the arrival of the bad news, but he could do nothing but anxiousness.
"Your time limit as a spirit has reached. You will be automatically resurrected in the Resurrection Cathedral."
A system notification suddenly popped up in Mo Shigui's Message Bar. Mo Shigui was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the players in the Holy Ghost could only maintain their spirit form for a maximum of five minutes.
Once the time limit was up, players would automatically respawn at the Resurrection Church if they did not return to their corpses.
Damn it!
Mo Shigui felt like he was free falling. When he opened his eyes again, the scene before him was the ceiling of the Resurrection Cathedral.
He was lying on the altar in the center of the Resurrection Cathedral.
Under normal circumstances, Freya would say a few lines at this time, although it would be something like "Ah, you're back."
Words like "Holy Spirits, please be careful next time" were filled with worry, but the underlying meaning of those words was "Hurry up and get off the resurrection platform and go farm monsters".
This time, Mo Shigui did not seem to hear Freya's greeting, so much so that Mo Shigui did not dare to stand up on the resurrection platform.
"You're back."
However, in the next second, a familiar voice rang in Mo Shigui's ears. It was a gentle and slow female voice. Mo Shigui abruptly stood up from the resurrection platform and looked to the side.
Fria, the Guardian of the Dead, was standing beside him, unscathed.
"I'm thinking too much."
Mo Shigui laughed at himself. He knew that the developers would not let such an important NPC die.
"Kind Holy Spirit, can I hold your hand?"
Freya suddenly made this request, and Mo Shigui caught a hint of pleading in her voice.
"What hidden quest is it this time?"
Mo Shigui heard Freya say this after he resurrected, but when he looked at Freya's eyes, it was hard to believe that it was a preset sentence from the system, or an NPC arranged by the system.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally took off the gauntlet on his left arm and extended his hand to Freya.
Freya also extended her hands and gently placed them on Mo Shigui's left hand. At that moment, Mo Shigui felt a warmth, a softness that only a human could have, and even Mo Shigui could feel the doll's heartbeat.
"This is the last thing I can do," Freya said softly, her hand glowing.
When Mo Shigui heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, but it was too late. A notification popped up in his Notification Bar.
"Your Zombie Curse has been purified by the Guardian, Freya."
"Farewell, kind Holy Spirit, it's a pleasure to meet you," Freya's next sentence made Mo Shigui suddenly reach out and grab her arm.
But it was too late. Freya weakly knelt on the ground. Before she fell to the ground, Mo Shigui let go of her arm and held her shoulder instead.
In the past, this level of contact was not allowed, but at that moment, Mo Shigui hugged Freya who had fallen to the ground.
"You can understand what I'm saying, right?
It's not preset by the system, you have your own thoughts!
You know what I'm saying! "
Mo Shigui could feel her gradually weakening breathing, and he shouted uncontrollably, "Answer me!"
Freya blinked a few times. Her cherry red lips moved several times as if she wanted to say something, but she did not even have the strength to speak.
"This time, I'm listening!"
Mo Shigui put his ear close to Freya's lips. In Mo Shigui's ear was the same slightly fearful and yearning voice as before.
"Will you … remember me?"
After Freya said this sentence in a very soft voice, her eyes lost the light, and her mouth gradually turned from lustrous cherry red to puppet-like lips.
Her skin, on the other hand, had a paint-like texture. Her hand, which had turned back into a puppet's joint, slid down. Mo Shigui's arm was trembling. He could feel Freya, who had lost all warmth and turned into a stiff wooden block in his arms. His entire hand was trembling.
You call this an NPC?
Is this a f * cking NPC?
Mo Shigui hugged the puppet-like Freya, and he gritted his teeth. There were no tears, only anger from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, he really could not tell whether the words of the NPCs in the Holy Spirit were preset by the system or from their own thoughts.
But there was one thing that Mo Shigui was sure of, he must resurrect Freya.
There was only one way to resurrect her … Kill the Hornet Knight!
Because the one who killed her for the third time was not Wolf Rider, but Hornet Knight.
Freya's soul was taken away by the Hornet Knight.
Mo Shigui carried the unconscious Freya on the Resurrection Platform, and then rushed out of the Resurrection Cathedral. Fluffy Rabbit and some of the Elite Clearers had been waiting for Mo Shigui outside the door for a long time.
"Guild Leader, should we continue to fight the Wolf Rider?"
"Where is the Hornet Knight?" Mo Shigui asked one of his guild members who was in charge of intelligence.
"The Hornet Knight … Guild Leader, that is the Boss that the Abyss Temple is responsible for. That Boss entered our Instance Dungeon and caused our team to be wiped, but if we take the initiative to fight the Abyss Temple for the Hornet Knight, wouldn't it be a little disgraceful for our guild?"
"Just tell me where she is!" Mo Shigui said.
