At this moment, the werewolf form's night vision ability came into play.
Reyker looked up and saw that the wooden door of the basement had disappeared, and it was replaced by a thick layer of soil.
"F*ck! Spatial magic? Or is this sealing magic?"
Reyker was no longer in the mood to complete the quest. Now, he only wanted to immediately go out and kill that NPC, Siouk a hundred times, and a hundred times more.
He opened the control panel.
He found that he was currently in a special area and could not choose to teleport to the nearest safe zone.
The teleportation scroll in his backpack was also gray.
Since that was the case, the only choice he was left with was to commit suicide.
To prevent players from getting stuck in a special area, the game provided a suicidal function, allowing players to revive at a resurrection point.
Just as Reyker chose this function, a scarlet warning popped up.
[Player is currently in a limited quest. Dying will cause the player to lose a large amount of EXP. Currently, a conservative estimate is that the player will lose more than 3 levels by dying. On top of that, the player will never be able to trigger the follow-up quests.]
Seeing this notification, Reyker calmed down.
Either way, the NPC, Siouk, can hide but he can't run. He might as well finish the quest first.
Having made up his mind, Reyker turned around and walked down the corridor.
After walking for 100 meters in the narrow passageway, he finally reached a spacious area.
What greeted his eyes was a large batch of experiment equipment.
There was a large table that was filled with all kinds of experiment instruments such as flasks, measuring cylinders, and the sort. On the wall were specimens of foxes and owls, and there were even dried corpses of frogs on the table.
To the left was a huge bookshelf filled with all kinds of books with black covers.
After Reyker lit up the oil lamp that was in the room, he transformed back into his human form and began to inspect the table.
He picked up a bottle that still had some liquid in it, and saw that the label on it said "frog urine".
F*ck, so disgusting.
He continued to look through the things on the table and saw all sorts of strange things, like the eyes of a tadpole, the penis of a frog, and so on.
This place was a spitting image of a dark magic laboratory from the Middle Ages.
After looking around, Reyker could not help but have doubts in his mind
"I still haven't gotten a quest hint at this point. It can't be that I haven't come into contact with the quest item, right?"
There was nothing on the experiment table that could trigger the quest. It seemed that the clue would be on the bookshelf.
Thinking of this, Reyker could not help but feel a headache. "The One" was set to be a very realistic world. He dared to guarantee that every book on the bookshelf could be opened and read.
It would be too difficult to find the clue this way.
However, it was a hidden quest, after all, and he had no choice but to be patient and start looking for the clue on the bookshelf.
Reyker picked up the first book, "Human in Water". He flipped it open and found that there was nothing in it except for some horror stories about ponds.
It felt to him that one may use it to refrain children from going to the river to play.
The second book was named "The Origins of River Humans".
After flipping through several books, the notification that he had found the quest hint did not sound in his ears.
Being in such a closed and horrible environment, he could not help but be somewhat irritated.
He put the books back on the shelf and patted the dust on his hands.
Dust. It was as if an electric current flashed through his mind.
He carefully observed the thickness of the dust on each book on the shelf.
Sure enough, in the lower-left corner of the bookshelf, there was a book that was covered in a layer of dust that was thinner than the others.
He picked up the book, and on it was written "The Thirteen Love Poems of Aaron Qin.".
Looking at the incongruous title of the book, Reyker could not help but feel ecstatic. As the saying goes, if something seems off, there must be something wrong.
As soon as he opened the book, he felt that there was something in it. He held the book straight, and a yellowed letter dropped out.
Although it was yellowed, it could be seen that the letter was a faint pink color before. There was also a dried-out brownish lip mark on the lower right corner of the letter.
F*ck, even such a pervert who studied black magic could get a woman to send him a love letter. Why does no one like a good young man like me?
"Dear Count Hilder:
Please forgive me for taking the liberty to send this letter, but my yearning for you is like crazily growing wild grass that has occupied my heart.
I would like to meet you tonight at 8:00 in the Harmon Forest's study where you often go to do your research.
Love, Elena."
A date in the forest? Sex in the wild? How exciting.
Just as Reyker was refuting in his mind, there was a "ding" in his ear. It was a notification for him to accept a quest.
[The Hidden Monster in Siouk's Basement. Do you accept the quest (1/3)?]
[Accept/Reject]
He would be a fool if he didn't accept the quest. Reyker accepted the quest immediately and began to check the quest information.
[An evil creature is hiding in Siouk's basement, find out its location.]
Huh? Isn't the quest supposed to be to find the girl? Why do I have to suddenly start looking for a treasure chest?
In this small room, Reyker began to search again, but this time he didn't find any clues.
Since the clues did not appear on these small things, then they might be on the big things.
Thus, Reyker began to push the table and bookshelf away from their original positions. When he tried to push the experiment table, he realized that no matter how much strength he used, the table did not budge at all.
"Something's off."
Then, Reyker transformed into his werewolf form. Under the double strength buff, the metal experiment table finally began to move.
A screeching sound was heard as the table slid to the side.
Following this, another corridor appeared.
Reyker, who had transformed back into a human, jumped down with the oil lamp in his hand.
As soon as he landed, he felt a cold aura lock onto him.
This was a small space of 80-90 square meters. In the middle of it was a locked coffin.
On both sides of the coffin were two rings. One was inlaid with a ruby, and the other was inlaid with a sapphire.
[Ding! The quest "Finding the Evil Power" has been completed. The second round of the quest is commencing, "Life's Choice".]
The lock on the coffin immediately fell off, and a skeleton ran out.
The two gemstones shone at Reyker at the same time, and a black aura condensed on the skeleton.
[Gemstone Skeleton, Level 9]
[Elite Monster].
[Characteristics]: Its strength is 150% of the person that has awakened it, and it is immune to any black magic below silver grade.
Then, a choice appeared.
[Choose death and join the skeleton by becoming a dark creature(will awaken hidden class) / Continue the quest by fighting the skeleton.]
The hidden class was very tempting, but Reyker believed that the reward for completing the quest through fighting the skeleton would be even more generous.
Just as he tapped on the option to indicate that he chose to fight, the gemstone skeleton waved its bone knife and leaped over, about to chop at Reyker's head.
At the same time, a "ding" sound rang out.
[Complete the chain quest "The Hidden Monster in Siouk's Basement" by dealing with the skeleton.]
150%?
For an ordinary player, this might be a very difficult quest to complete. After all, facing a monster with 150% higher attributes than oneself was a difficult task for an ordinary player who did not have many pieces of equipment on him since many were still novices. This would be a desperate situation for them.
However, Reyker simply smiled. Sorry but my werewolf transformation can increase my attributes by 200%.
The nearly three-meter-long werewolf instantly occupied a part of the room.
