Chu Danqing just took a look at this equipment and stuffed it into the storage space without any hesitation.

To say it's strong, it's indeed very strong, and it has great potential; as growth equipment, it is Exemplary tier from the start.

If it weren't for the human corpses and the cost of his own maximum sanity, Chu Danqing would be very happy to cultivate it.

However, these were actually secondary; the biggest hidden danger was the Grave Keeper's blessing and gaze.

The Grave Keeper must be a god.

As for him taking this painting? To put it bluntly, he was already related to it now; whether he took it or not, it would probably have attracted attention.

Anyway, he had already put it in the storage space; if the Grave Keeper really had the ability, he could go head-to-head with the Paradise.

He was just an ant in front of the Grave Keeper, but the Grave Keeper was probably not even an ant in front of the Paradise.

"This equipment is truly against the laws of heaven and human ethics." Yang Qianyuan also took a look and showed a look of disgust on his face.

"It's just that judging by Elliot's tone, he seems to treat you, Brother Chu, as a confidant; this might be a hidden danger later."

Yang Qianyuan also reminded him.

Although the thing is good, the aftermath of taking it is endless.

"Whether I take it or not, when he comes to the door, the hidden danger has already been buried," Chu Danqing said with a smile: "Ikram Monastery has a problem."

"Elliot has already warned us."

"What's more, your Heavenly Secret deduction is correct." Chu Danqing naturally knew that if he didn't accept it, the entanglement would be less.

However, in his view, things had reached this point; it was nothing more than how to fight.

"Rats devouring corpses; the corpses in here should be these ghouls."

"Rats, Elliot has already said it; the rats in the monastery will be very noisy at night." Chu Danqing said this to comfort Yang Qianyuan.

Yang Qianyuan could naturally understand Elliot's warning and said: "I'm afraid it won't be peaceful at night."

"I think you, Brother Chu, should summon Brother Guo first before the situation develops."

"Otherwise, with the strength of you, me, and Da Bao, I'm afraid it will be ominous." Yang Qianyuan reminded Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to summon: "Alright!"

Before, there was the existence of the god Feeder, so he didn't dare to summon directly; now it was naturally the most suitable time.

【You summoned Covenant Object No. 1, this time consuming 1568 Paradise Points】

【Covenant object has responded】

【Covenant object summoning cognition rationalization modification completed】

Guo Ming's figure walked out of the vortex; at first, his face was still smiling, but the next moment the smile was collected instantly, and his whole person was extremely serious.

He looked around vigilantly, holding the Su Nu Sword, and the four Twelve Yuan Chen Swords were quickly unsheathed.

"What's the situation?" This was the first time Chu Danqing had seen Guo Ming in this formation.

"There are two terrifying things in this place that are no less than the Imperial Heaven that have cast some gazes." Guo Ming said in a condensed voice.

It was not that Guo Ming could perceive the strength of these gazers, but because the upper limit of his cognition was the Imperial Heaven.

While saying this, his brain was also digesting identity memories.

His appearance and flying sword equipment also obtained disguises like Yang Qianyuan's, no longer the original appearance.

"But I should be overthinking it; with such existences, you and I are just ants, so they shouldn't vent their anger."

"It's just that if these two existences fight, even if it's just a tiny bit of aftermath, it's not something you or I can bear."

"Brother Chu... oh no, Mr. William, it's very dangerous here; we can't stay too long." Guo Ming changed his temperament and speaking style according to his memory.

It was just that he was not as smooth as Yang Qianyuan, and even his acting was more awkward than Chu Danqing's.

"Brother Guo, why don't you talk less, how about we change to the persona of a cold bodyguard chief?" Chu Danqing said.

Yang Qianyuan's identity was a scholar consultant, while Guo Ming was the bodyguard chief.

"Alright." Guo Ming thought for a while and directly straightened his face.

"As for leaving, I'm afraid there are gods everywhere." Chu Danqing briefly told the story before.

This made a bitter smile appear on Guo Ming's face: "Brother Chu, you found a good job."

The tomb of Prince Yuanping had already given him a blow to the head, and now it was even more outrageous.

This trial world was not only higher in level than the trial world he was in, but it didn't even belong to the Paradise.

Once exposed, they would definitely die.

"The risk is great, but as long as it is completed, the reward is also generous." Chu Danqing naturally understood the truth that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.

Otherwise, why would the Paradise reimburse you and give you a lot of benefits?

It was precisely because of the danger that there would be these things.

"Well, since it can be reimbursed this time, why don't we try..." Guo Ming said and was about to take things out.

When Chu Danqing saw this, he hurriedly stopped Guo Ming: "Only reasonable expenses are reimbursed; I estimate it is at most your maintenance costs plus the equipment, props, consumables, etc., lost in the mission."

"If you really want to take this opportunity to get things for me to practice, the Paradise probably won't reimburse it."

The Paradise can reimburse ammunition, medicine, and even equipment losses, but the Paradise certainly won't give you these kinds of profiteering expenses.

When Guo Ming heard this, his expression was slightly regretful; he had already thought about what things to send.

"Another premise for reimbursement is that I pay for it myself, not that the cost is directly waived."

"If I take too much at that time and it directly makes me a negative number of Paradise Points and doesn't reimburse me, what should I do about the next rank promotion assessment?" Chu Danqing knew that reimbursement was not his capital to act recklessly, but a bottom-line result.

Guo Ming smiled sheepishly; he was thinking about drilling loopholes, while Chu Danqing was thinking about being down-to-earth.

"Someone is coming." Yang Qianyuan interrupted the chat.

Everyone immediately changed according to their identities.

A knock on the door sounded, and then Rudolf's voice came: "Mr. William, Bena's situation is very bad; she is unconscious but is talking nonsense."

The door was opened, Chu Danqing walked in front, while Da Bao, Guo Ming, and Yang Qianyuan followed behind him.

"Lead the way, and tell me what the situation is." Chu Danqing certainly wouldn't give up, so he planned to go and see the situation.

Rudolf looked at Guo Ming who appeared suddenly; the armor he was wearing was embroidered with the Hamlet family crest.

Plus Yang Qianyuan who arrived before, he just took them as another noble bodyguard.

"After you gave Bena the noble secret medicine before, she also received treatment from the monk physician."

"Bena's fever has subsided, and the situation has begun to improve."

"But just a while ago, Bena suddenly woke up, staring at the surrounding walls with a face full of terror, and kept shouting that there were rats."

"But Fila and the others checked, and there were no rats."

"The more Fila and the others comforted her, the more afraid and crazy Bena became."

"I suspect that the previous fright caused her to lose her mind, plus physiological reasons, making her have severe auditory and visual hallucinations."

"Later, in order to prevent Bena from hurting herself, we controlled her."

"The situation suddenly deteriorated; Bena fell into a coma and had a fever accompanied by delirium again." Rudolf led the way in front, while telling Chu Danqing the general situation.

The locations where the two sides lived were relatively far apart, and Ikram Monastery also served as a health resort, so it was particularly attentive to sound insulation.

As the top health resort in the Golden Eagle Federation, the clients it faced were all dignitaries and rich merchants, so the hardware conditions would certainly not be bad.

Plus Chu Danqing was "appreciating" the painting with Elliot before, so he naturally didn't notice it.

"Physician, did you call him to see?" Chu Danqing asked.

"He has already arrived and is praying for Bena." Rudolf said helplessly.

In his view, Bena needed medical treatment or mysterious exorcism spells like the Hamlet family.

Not useless prayers.

Before they even entered the door, they heard the monk physician's high-pitched prayer.

Then what entered their eyes was a monk wearing a hemp cloth garment with a hood, singing and dancing.

In addition to the high-pitched voice, even the movements were of the large and exaggerated type.

The female lawyer named Bena, who was lying on the bed, was tied to the bed with her eyes closed.

"Swear by blood, you bastards, I curse you to never climb out of the deep pit!"

"Go away, you group of black death legions who gorge on corpses and the living, with sticky bodies and greedy natures!!!"

"No, let me out, I don't want to be locked in a prison cell!!!"

Bena shouted unconsciously, her voice sometimes high-pitched and sometimes sharp, but sometimes mournful.

It was as if she was having several nightmares at the same time.

At the same time, the bed sheet under her was completely soaked with sweat.

Because she was tied tightly, the whole person looked like a wriggling maggot, intending to break free from some kind of restraint.

Chu Danqing took out a sedative and injected it into her, while letting Da Bai treat her.

"Where are the rats Bena just mentioned?" After Chu Danqing finished these, Bena gradually stabilized, and then he asked the female lawyer Fila.

But this was ultimately only treating the symptoms but not the root cause; once the sedative's effect passed, it would recur.

If you want to solve it, you must find the root cause.

This was not only for Bena, but also for himself.
