Chapter 101: Random Instance - The Horror Universe

[You have used a Random Instance Scroll. This time, it is a Horror Instance World: Horror Universe 7321]

[Your random identity is being determined. The odds are: Main Character (99%), Supporting Character (1%), Extra (0%)]

[You have obtained the identity of the Main Character]

[Main Quest Issued]

[Go to Ackerman Town and become the church priest, helping the townsfolk resolve some ghostly, horror events. Reward: Lord Skill - Summon and Return]

[Summon and Return: Send your heroes and troops back to your domain. Cost: 100 magic points]

[This time, the evaluation will be based on your methods, approach, and the number of issues resolved. The evaluation will affect the final reward.]

"Maybe you should just give that 1% of the supporting character's odds to the main character. I don't really need that 1%." Qin Muye finally understood; being the main character definitely wasn't a good thing. In The Lord's Era, Qin Muye was made the main character but without the main character's aura. Instead, he was given a disaster-prone constitution. This was clearly a trap.

[You have obtained a temporary skill: Event Constitution]

[Event Constitution: You are easily drawn into certain events]

Fuck!

Just as Qin Muye was thinking this, he received this skill. Fortunately, this time his identity wasn't the Dragon King Asura, and this temporary skill wasn't as lethal as the Intelligence Reduction Aura and Taunt Aura he had before. However, if he thought about it, this skill might be even more of a pitfall.

After all, those two auras only affected characters related to the plot, whereas the Event Constitution meant he would run into trouble wherever he went.

"But this time, it's not bad. At least I have some memories, even if they're not very detailed."

Qin Muye recalled that he was replacing a priest named Andrew Verelis, who wanted to atone for his sins and ascend to heaven. What sins he needed to atone for, Qin Muye didn't know; the memories were limited. This was the reason he came to Ackerman Town.

The place he was in was similar to a Western parliamentary country in the late 19th century. With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, science began to drive out theology, causing the church to decline.

Of course, this didn't concern him. This world was a bit backward; the technology was far behind that of Wenguo.

For example, his car had broken down on the road.

"To be honest, it seems like Andrew's family is quite wealthy, able to afford a car."

Qin Muye muttered, but he didn't know how to fix a car. This thing was a classic car.

Driving a classic car into the countryside, he wondered what Andrew was thinking.

More importantly, he didn't know where Ackerman Town was. He wasn't the real Andrew; he only had a simple, summarized version of the other man's memories.

Climbing back into the car, he quickly found an old map.

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

The map was a paper one, not a modern navigation map, so he felt a bit overwhelmed.

Just as he was thinking about how to proceed, a voice came from outside.

"Father Andrew, is that you?"

Qin Muye turned to see a burly middle-aged man with an excited expression.

"Hello, I'm Andrew. Who are you?" Qin Muye detected a strange smell from the man and noticed bloodstains on his clothes, which made him feel that the man's excitement was a bit off.

"I'm a hunter from Ackerman Town, but I usually don't live in the town. I stay in a hunter's cabin in the wilderness. I heard that a priest named Andrew was coming to our church." The middle-aged man seemed to notice Qin Muye's suspicion and explained briefly.

Despite this, Qin Muye remained cautious. After all, this was a stranger to him.

"That's great. My car broke down on the road. Could you help me find someone in town who can repair it?" Qin Muye probed carefully.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. It's getting dark, and if I go now, I'll have to travel in the dark. The wilderness at night is very dangerous. How about this: you come back to my hunter's cabin with me, and we'll set out for the town early tomorrow morning. We can do the same thing then."

The man's tone was sincere, as if he was telling the truth.

Although the man's words seemed reasonable, Qin Muye still felt something was off, especially with the man's sincere eyes, which made him look like a lunatic.

Thinking this way was quite impolite, but they were in the wilderness.

However, Qin Muye eventually agreed. To him, the man was just an ordinary person, and even if he tried to attack, he wouldn't be able to break through Qin Muye's shield.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Hunter. May I ask your name?" Qin Muye got out of the car and carefully observed the man. The closer he got, the more he felt like he was facing a hyena, and the strange smell from the man grew stronger.

"Xisier. Father, you can just call me Xisier." The hunter replied as Qin Muye got out of the car. He continued, "Father, please follow me. My hunter's cabin is a bit remote, but it's very safe, with no wild animals around."

Qin Muye watched as Xisier walked straight into the roadside bushes, not intending to take the main path. This made Qin Muye narrow his eyes.

'It seems the Event Constitution has been triggered.'

Observing the man's behavior, Qin Muye became more certain that Xisier was up to something. However, he followed along. As long as Xisier didn't provoke him, Qin Muye wouldn't do anything. If Xisier dared to attack, he would teach him a lesson with the Magic Arrow.

If he couldn't handle it, he could always call for reinforcements.

The Lord Skill - Summon and Return was currently usable. If he couldn't win, he could summon Tianqi and the Gospel Goblins, and then Xisier would experience what a group attack feels like.

Following Xisier, the path was rough, but with the attributes provided by the Crimson Boots, it wasn't too difficult for Qin Muye, even if it wasn't as smooth as walking on a flat road.

After about an hour, they finally reached the hunter's cabin.

Qin Muye's first impression was of disorder and filth. The cabin was made of scrap metal, and the area around it was littered with various foul-smelling animal bones and fur.

These weren't the main issues, as he could understand the conditions of a hunter living in the wilderness. However, he noticed a few rusted cars around the metal shack.

'Serial killer in the wilderness.'

This eerie familiarity surfaced in Qin Muye's mind. It was a classic trope.

The instance world he was in was called the Horror Universe, and a serial killer was definitely part of the horror theme.

'So, this guy won't be one of the problems I need to solve, right?'

'What exactly is this Ackerman Town? There's a serial killer outside the town, so what's inside the town?'

Qin Muye wanted to comment on how, in such a dangerous environment, the entire town hadn't been wiped out. Were these townsfolk from Gotham?

Although the thought was a bit absurd, it didn't matter. Qin Muye had capable followers.

'Wait, if I use Scarlet Invasion to cleanse the entire Ackerman Town, would that count as solving the problem? The main quest doesn't specify that the townsfolk need to survive.'

Qin Muye suddenly had this thought but quickly realized that this world didn't have elements or magic.

'No, wait, this world actually has energy? So it's not a magic-free universe.'

'This energy is a bit strange, but I'll research it when I have time.'

With energy present, he could use Scarlet Invasion. However, Qin Muye ultimately decided against it. This time, he was here to earn an S-grade evaluation, so he shouldn't cause chaos. Otherwise, how would he get the special building blueprint?

He glanced at his Transdimensional Gateway, which had already recorded the coordinates of this world. He could return to the Magic Continent whenever he wanted, just by opening the gateway.

However, the two worlds had different time flows, so he could only return after completing the mission.

Moreover, he was concerned that there might be some unknown powerful beings in this Horror Universe, so it was better to be cautious.

He would investigate Ackerman Town first, then summon Tianqi and the Gospel Goblins. It was always better to be cautious. If things got too difficult, he could escape through the Transdimensional Gateway. No matter how good the mission reward was, it couldn't compare to his life.

'So, the Transdimensional Gateway is really a lifesaver.'
