Chapter 903: Different Believers
Chapter 903: Different Believers
"Mr. Prizzum, I have a pitiful person here who needs your help..."
Lizzy took the initiative and approached, ready to introduce Lindsey's situation.
But before she could finish her sentence, Lizzy noticed that Prizzum, who had been praying with his eyes closed, stopped and turned his body towards them.
The man before them was tall and solemn, his two strands of neatly combed white hair hanging down from his ears, giving him an exceptionally dignified appearance.
Although he faced Lindsey and Lizzy, he kept his eyes closed.
With his eyes shut, he addressed the person at the door, "I anticipated this, and you've sent someone over."
"But I never imagined it would be this quick."
"Even using the law to oppress people's hearts, it's impossible to pry open the mouths of those loyal believers so soon."
"A law knight, no less."
"In the end, you've crossed your own bottom line."
As Lindsey's skill guided him.
The Prizzum before them was indeed the mastermind behind tonight's attack."
But because Lindsey's timing was too coincidental, Prizzum naturally believed that the Law Knight from the City of Law had broken the taboo of using Law Radiance to alter human nature, which was why he could obtain information about himself from those devout believers so quickly.
At this moment, he 'stared' at Lindsey, and the aura of an Awakened one emanated from him.
The deity Prizzum worshipped seemed to form a phantom behind him, almost crushing the man before him!
"Mr. Prizzum?"
Lizzy, who had brought Lindsey, was baffled and immediately asked, "What are you saying? What do you mean by a law knight? Robinson is just a cursed man..."
The believer, with his eyes closed, rebuked harshly, "Lizzy, step aside! This doesn't concern you!"
However, the believer girl remained unwavering.
At the sixth stage, when facing Prizzum, who was stronger than herself, she directly stood between him and Lindsey.
Lizzy spread her arms, shielding Lindsey behind her, and said, "I refuse! Robinson is a patient I brought here. If you're unwilling to help, I can take him away instead of having him persecuted here."
Prizzum became furious, "Do you know who's behind you?"
Lizzy still didn't back down, "Even if you want to take action, you have to explain yourself first!"
"..."
"First of all, I'm not a law knight."
Lindsey had his principles.
No matter what, he wouldn't deceive a good person who risked their life and stood up to an Awakened one far stronger than himself, especially when that person was protecting him.
So, Lindsey directly ignored Lizzy.
He switched to a different module, curious about Lizzy's situation.
【Lizzy - 70/100】
【She is a believer who devoutly follows the teachings of kindness, wishing for a beautiful fate to grace everyone. Her affection for you is not special treatment but stems from her sincere wish for a beautiful world. Thus, her affection for everyone starts at 60 points.】
Well, she's a genuinely good person.
Lindsey couldn't help but feel a bit amused.
Who would've thought that he'd encounter such a person while infiltrating the enemy's headquarters?
Meanwhile, Prizzum was also carefully examining Lindsey, who had stepped forward.
As a Seventh Stage Awakened, he first sensed the man's Essence attribute.
"Strong will."
"So, you're a Walker?"
Lindsey shook his head, "Wrong, I'm not a law knight, nor a Walker."
"And the reason I'm here today is also completely different from what you might think."
"..."
The hostility emanating from Prizzum began to subside.
This change in attitude wasn't because he was easily deceived or a pushover, but because he was a Seventh Stage Believer with a skill called 【Apocalypse】.
This ability allowed devout believers to foresee certain events at times, and their judgments often resulted in an uncanny, surreal intuition.
A thought suddenly crossed Prizzum's mind.
The man before him wasn't deceiving him; he was indeed not affiliated with the official forces of the City of Law.
However, what he didn't know was that at that very moment, Lindsey was also observing him using his 【Favorability】 skill.
"..."
To be honest, as a man, Lindsey observing another man's feelings for him felt a bit awkward.
But in the game, the protagonist's targets were both male and female.
So, this skill could still function normally.
【Prizzum - 40/100】
【This man who leads the believers has grand ambitions, and his current attitude towards you is highly guarded. Thinking of having a grand romance with him is like dreaming the impossible. More interaction is needed.】
Lindsey understood clearly.
At the start of their conversation, Prizzum's attitude wasn't like this, and the Favorability score was only 10 points.
It was a bit disgusting.
However, there was definitely something influencing the man's judgment.
Their interaction was too brief for the 【Puzzle Game】 to gather accurate information.
Lindsey was in a delicate situation, deep within the City of Law's territory.
To be blunt, every street outside this Shadow Alley was filled with potential dangers for him.
Moreover, the captured Believer on the City of Law's mountain, was currently being interrogated.
If the Law Guardians obtained complete information, this place might be enveloped in a Law Radiance at any moment.
If the restraint came not from the Law that protected the city, but from a Law Guardian themselves, Lindsey's desire to escape would not be as convenient as before.
In reality, time was of the essence.
But his mind was already racing with thoughts.
Having found the person he was looking for, Lindsey decided to be direct and ask his true question:
"What I need to know is the object of your faith."
"If it's as I suspect, that self-proclaimed sole God, then tell me, where is it now!"
Lindsey was ready for a fight.
Although the opponent was a Seventh Stage Awakened One, if he played some of his trump cards and achieved a surprise victory, he was confident he could take him down immediately.
Meanwhile, Prizzum's calm demeanor betrayed a hint of surprise.
He kept his eyes closed, but his deep voice questioned Lindsey:
"Robinson, where did you hear that name?"
"..."
Lindsey merely smiled in response.
For after Prizzum's question, a new clue appeared on the man, glowing with white light.
He opened it and read:
【Human Awakened One - A Believer with powerful skills. He suddenly heard this name from a stranger's mouth and is now filled with curiosity.】
