Chapter 466 – A Climax
Chapter 466 – A Climax
The missing corpse earlier was sitting at the end of the hidden path. Only a skeleton was left, but it was undoubtedly the corpse Max was looking for. The body looked pretty similar.
He crouched down and looked at the skeleton. It looked creepy, but he wasn't scared. This was a game, after all.
"So, this is the corpse." He muttered as he looked around. There were bones scattered around it. "How long has it been since he was dead?"
— Based on the journal, November?
— Maybe three months? Four?
— So this is the evil spirit's body?
— Most likely.
"Let's bury this corpse in a nice place." He said, taking the skeletons. He found a leather bag on the side and put all the bones inside it.
Max tied it with rope and carried it over his shoulder. Then, he left the hidden path and returned to the office.
He climbed out of the hole using the tong again. When he reached the mine, he found a fissure created from the earthquake earlier. It led outside the mine and he could use it to escape.
"Wow, to think the path opened when I read the journal. Should I say thanks?" He muttered as he walked toward it.
— Wait!
— Breeze, are you sure about this?
Max stopped walking when he heard that. He looked at the chat and found they were nervous. He looked at the chat and they continued.
— What if the evil spirit is waiting for you?
"What do you mean? There is no reason to wait for me." He asked in confusion. "Or maybe... there is a reason." He looked at the bag he brought.
— Right! Think about it.
— Breeze, that journal talked about someone manipulating the evil spirit.
— Based on the story's progression...
Max frowned as he understood what they meant.
"Are you saying the evil spirit is manipulated as well? And the corpse was hidden in the mine to prevent someone from digging it out? And now it wanted me to bring the corpse out, huh?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
That made sense.
"This is a good mission. The story was interesting and the mystery was solved. Too bad I couldn't kill the evil spirit. It would be cool if I could defeat it."
He looked at the location where the evil spirit disappeared earlier, at the flower bed.
Then, he saw something shining. He narrowed his eyes and got closer. Shine equals a new tool. That was what he learned from this game. So he looked for the source of the light.
And just as he expected...
"A shovel?" He picked it up and inspected it. The tool was called Grave Keeper's Shovel.
– Grave Keeper's Shovel -> Allows users to dig graves faster. Can be used to fight against undead enemies. +20% damage against evil spirit.
Then, a notification appeared.
[Objective Complete!]
[New Objective!]
[Objective: Report to the Exorcist Headquarters and receive your reward.]
Max smiled when he read the objective. This game was truly great. It had a wonderful progression and it made him immersed in the story.
"Alright."
Max equipped the shovel before leaving the empty field. He arrived at the station, the only building left in the strange Kearse Village, and departed back to London City.
During the journey, Max talked with the chat about this mission. They liked the story and felt satisfied by the ending.
In Max's opinion, this was a good horror game. But it lacked the suspense he liked. And this game was too good to be finished in one session, so...
"See you again, chat! Let's finish another mission tomorrow!" He waved at the camera before logging out of the game.
— See you again
— lol, I thought you are going to finish all quests, but I guess this is fine
— See you tomorrow! I love your horror content
