Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Random Instance - Horror Universe

?

[You have used a Random Dungeon Scroll, this time it's for the Horror Dungeon World: Horror Universe No.7321]

[Randomly assigning your identity, the ratio for this time is: Main Character (99%), Supporting Role (1%), Extra (0%)]

[You have obtained the Main Character Identity]

[Main Mission Released]

[Go to Akman Town to become the Priest of the church and help the townsfolk resolve some paranormal and horrific events. Reward: Lord Skill: Summoning and Returning]

[Lord Recall: Send your heroes and troops back to your territory, consumption: 100 Magic Value]

[This time, the evaluation will be based on your problem-solving methods and the number of issues resolved. The evaluation affects the final reward]

"Why don't you just give the whole 1% from the Supporting Role to the Main Character? I'm not lacking that 1%." Qin Muye understood by now that being the Main Character definitely had no benefits. "Lord Era" made him the Main Character but did not provide a Main Character Aura, just gave him a disaster-prone physique, which was clearly a trap.

[You have gained a temporary skill: Event Physique]

[Event Physique: You easily get involved in certain events]

"Damn (+000)"

Just as Qin Muye finished thinking, he received this. Thankfully, his identity this time wasn't the Dragon King Asura, so the temporary skill was not as lethal as a Dumbing Aura combined with a Taunting Aura. However, when it really comes down to it, this skill seems even more troublesome.

After all, those two auras were only targeted towards characters relevant to the storyline, but Event Physique meant that he could get into trouble wherever he went.

"But this time, it's not too bad, at least I was given some memories, although not very detailed ones."

Qin Muye recalled that the Priest he replaced was named Andrew Villeries, a Priest who sought to ascend to heaven through atonement. As for what sin he was atoning for, Qin Muye wasn't sure. The memories were limited, which is why he had come to Akman Town.

As for the place he found himself in, it was similar to a Western parliamentary country in the late 19th century. As the Industrial Revolution began, science gradually began to oust theology, causing the Church to start declining.

Of course, that was irrelevant to him. This world was slightly backward-technology was out of the question, certainly no match for Wen Country.

Just like how his car had broken down on the road.

"To be honest, this Andrew seems to be quite wealthy, even afford a car." Qin Muye muttered to himself. However, as for cars, well, he couldn't fix them. He really couldn't fix this old- timer car.

Driving an old-timer car to the countryside, he didn't understand what Andrew was thinking. What's more crucial is that he didn't know where Akman Town was located. He wasn't the real Andrew but only had access to some basic summarized memories of his.

After climbing into the car and searching for a while, he quickly found an old map.

"This is a good start; at least I have a map. But before that, I need to know where I am."

He had a paper map in his hand, not a modernized navigation map, so he felt a bit overwhelmed.

As he was pondering which way to go, a voice reached him.

"Father Andrew, is that you?"

Qin Muye turned to look and saw a burly middle-aged man speaking with an excited face. "Hello, I am Andrew. Who are you?" Qin Muye could smell a strange scent coming from the man and, looking at the stains of blood on his clothes, felt there was something off about the man's excitement.

"I'm a Hunter from Akman Town. I don't usually live in town but in a hunter's cabin in the wild. When I was going back before, I heard that a Priest named Andrew was coming to our Church to serve." The middle-aged man seemed to sense Qin Muye's suspicions, so he explained briefly.

Even so, Qin Muye didn't let his guard down. After all, this person was a stranger to him.

"That's wonderful news. My car has broken down on the road, and I was wondering if you could help me find someone from town who could come over and fix the car." Qin Muye cautiously probed.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. It's getting dark now, and if I go now, I might have to travel in the dark. The wilderness is very dangerous at night. How about this-you come back with me to the hunter's cabin, and we set off for town early tomorrow morning. It will be the same if we fetch someone then."

The middle-aged man's tone was laced with sincerity, as if he were speaking the truth. Although what the other party said made sense, Qin Muye still felt that something was off, especially the other's sincere gaze-it was as if he were a lunatic?

Thinking this was quite rude, but they were in the wilderness now.

In the end, Qin Muye still agreed, to him, the man was just an ordinary person, and even standing still, it was unlikely he could breach his shield.

"Alright then, I'll trouble Mr. Hunter, what's your name?" Qin Muye got out of the car and looked the other man over carefully, facing him felt like facing a hyena, the strange smell radiating from his body growing stronger.

"Xisel, you can just call me Xisel, Priest," the hunter replied upon seeing Qin Muye get out of the car, and then continued, "Follow me, Priest. The hunter's cottage I live in is a bit secluded, but very safe, with no wild beasts around."

Qin Muye watched as Xisel walked directly into the roadside bushes, apparently not planning to take the main path, which made Qin Muye narrow his eyes.

'It seems that my Event Physique has been triggered.'

Observing the other's actions, Qin Muye became more certain that Xisel had issues; however, he still followed him. As long as they didn't come to blows, Qin Muye wouldn't take any action, but if he dared to make a move, Magic Divine Arrow would teach him a lesson.

If he can't win the fight... then just scram.

The Lord Summon skill currently showed as available; if he couldn't beat him, he would summon Tian Qi along with the Evangelical Spirit Monster, and then let Xisel know what

ganging up means.

Following Xisel, the path was rough, but with the attributes provided by the Crimson Magic Boots, he did not find it very difficult even if it wasn't as easy as walking on flat ground.

Having walked for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the hunter's cottage that the other had mentioned.

The first impression that struck Qin Muye was the messiness and filth, a shanty made of sloppy tin sheets, surrounded by various foul-smelling animal carcasses and even furs

hanging on racks.

But these were not the main issues. After all, being in the wilderness and a hunter to boot, Qin Muye could understand, but he faintly saw several somewhat rusted cars around the tin

house.

'A serial killer in the remote wilderness...'

This inexplicable sense of déjà vu surfaced in Qin Muye's mind, a familiar trope.

The Horror Universe he was in definitely included murderers as a form of horror.

'So does that mean this guy could also be one of the events I need to resolve...'

'So what on earth is Akman Town then? If outside the town there is a murderer, then what

about inside?'

Qin Muye felt like mocking the living conditions that allowed the town to survive at all, wondering if all its residents had moved from Gotham.

It was a bit funny to think about, but no matter, Qin Muye... his troops could fight. 'Wait, if I use Crimson Invasion to sweep through Akam Town, would that count as resolved? After all, there's no requirement in the main mission to keep the townspeople alive.' Suddenly, Qin Muye thought of this idea, but he quickly realized that this world lacked elements, Magic Power, etc...

'No, this world actually has Energy? That means it's not a magic-less cosmic.' 'It's just that the type of energy is a bit strange. Forget it, I'll study it when I have time.'

With energy available, he could use his Crimson Invasion, but eventually, Qin Muye gave up on the idea of using it to cleanse the town. This time, he came to earn an S-level Evaluation, so better not make a mess, otherwise, what about the Special Building Blueprints? Then he glanced at his Super-Space Transmission Channel that had already recorded the coordinates of this world. He could even return to the Magic Continent without a problem, just needing to open it.

Since there's a time flow speed difference between the two worlds, he had to wait until after completing the mission to come back.

Moreover, he was concerned that there might be some unknown powerful entities within the Horror Universe, so it was better to be careful.

After getting to Akman Town and scoping out the situation, he would summon Tian Qi and

the Evangelical Spirit Monster. In any task, it's wise to be cautious. If it proved too difficult, then he'd just take the Super-Space Channel and run. What good are mission rewards if they're not as valuable as his own life?

'So, this Super-Space Channel is really cheeky...'
