Chapter 446: Meet the Lie Hunter Again
night.
Zhuge Jun stretched himself and prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest.
Great results today!
After getting through the previous painful period, Zhuge Jun felt that his gaming experience seemed to be getting better.
After defeating the Furnace Craftsman, coupled with Ni Tiantian's new handle, he felt that his mastery of the Transformation Slash had reached a new level.
Next, he began to attack the cathedral for the first time.
The reason why I say this is the first time is because according to the flow of the game, you will have to return to the cathedral from other entrances later and conquer it again.
According to the plot, after sweeping the workshop area, the protagonist has basically unlocked all basic functions, including prosthetic hands and body parts modifications.
The workshop area failed to investigate the cause of the disaster, so the next step is to enter the cathedral to find the archbishop and survivors.
Judging from the situation of this disaster, the cathedral is the hardest hit area by lycanthropy. It is filled with a large number of monsters, mutants and madmen, as well as a small number of corrupted dolls.
After players finish exploring the cathedral for the first time, they will go to other areas to continue exploring, and then return to the cathedral after a certain process.
Zhuge Jun originally thought that the difficulty of the cathedral would suddenly rise to a higher level, but it did not.
It even feels lower!
Numerically speaking, the monsters in the cathedral did have thicker blood and stronger desire to attack, which also caused a lot of trouble for Zhuge Jun.
But these beastly monsters are basically really weak to fire. After Zhuge Jun used his prosthetic hand to enchant the weapon with fire, it can be said that it is easy and enjoyable to kill these mobs restrained by fire.
In addition, in the church area, Zhuge Jun also found some rituals.
As long as the corresponding attributes of knowledge, belief, and mystery are clicked on the threshold, these rituals can be used.
Since Zhuge Jun himself has been lying all the time, his spiritual vision is relatively high. Just click on the corresponding attribute to meet the requirements for using the ritual.
He doesn't have much mana, so he basically doesn't use those powerful offensive rituals, but some auxiliary rituals are still very useful.
For example, enchanting weapons with blue god's flames, or adding spiritual attacks to weapons, etc. are all quite delicious.
After some twists and turns, he arrived at the door of the first boss in the church area.
“Is that the Archbishop behind this?
"Probably not. Judging from the general size of the church area, there will be at least two bosses arranged for the first time. I still haven't explored more than half of it, so it should be the first gatekeeper boss, and the one after the archbishop.
"Go in and take a look. The experience store will close in one hour. Try to get it within an hour!"
Zhuge Jun opened the door in front of him confidently.
"Hey, isn't this an old acquaintance?"
Zhuge Jun was almost happy when he saw the cutscene CG, because he knew this person, the lie hunter who looked like a hedgehog with weapons all over his body from the prologue.
At that time, Zhuge Jun fought with him many times, but basically he didn't get stuck very much. In my impression, he was a boss that was not too difficult to deal with.
The main reason is that although he has many weapons and various moves, his attacks are basically the same, and his attack movements coincide with the player's GP, so it is very easy to GP.
"Although the GP in the official chapter is a little more strict than the prologue, it doesn't matter, I have grown too!"
Zhuge Jun rushed forward confidently. He also knew that he would definitely not be able to kill the Lie Hunter in this battle. After all, he would have to come to the cathedral to fight again later, but it shouldn't be a problem to score a plot kill quickly.
Soon, the battle begins!
The battle at the beginning is quite normal. Although the GP judgment is indeed much stricter than in the prologue, the moves are still the same, and the weapons are still the same, and there are even slightly fewer types than in the prologue.
After Zhuge Jun practiced using the trigger back button, he had initially mastered the GP. Every time he seized the opportunity, the GP could knock out a large amount of the opponent's health.
Judging from this situation, defeating this boss should be just around the corner.
However, a quarter of his health was lost, and he suddenly entered a real-time cutscene.
I saw the Lie Hunter holding a scythe, and suddenly rushed over and seamlessly performed a throwing skill, trying to lock Zhuge Jun; while the character controlled by Zhuge Jun hurriedly blocked it with weapons, and the two sides temporarily fell into a "sword fighting" stalemate. .
"I smell "lies" on you...
"Tell me, in front of that bridge, did you say you were a doll or a human?"
At this time, the screen temporarily entered a time-stop state, and a countdown similar to the previous lie appeared on the screen, as well as two different options of "Doll" and "Human".
"Hey, let me wipe it, what the hell is this!"
Zhuge Jun was stunned. This was the first time that he suddenly had to answer questions in the middle of a boss battle.
What should I answer?
Zhuge Jun's brain is running rapidly. If he follows his previous habits, he will definitely continue to lie at this time, but this boss is called "Lie Hunter", and the line also says "smells the smell of lies", so is it not too bad to lie at this time? OK?
But is it possible that the other party is bluffing?
Are you playing psychological warfare? You want to deliberately induce me to tell the truth?
Maybe he can't accurately determine whether I lied? After all, I have lied so many times, and my spiritual vision attribute is not low, so I won’t necessarily be exposed, right?
If you continue to do this over and over again, it will never end.
Time was running out, and there was only about 10 seconds of thinking time, so Zhuge Jun didn't care about that much, so he decided to lie first.
Even if this option is wrong, it shouldn't matter, right? After all, this is during the boss battle, and I should be able to choose it again next time.
At that time, his answer on the bridge was "doll", so if he wanted to continue lying at this time, he should choose "human", right?
『Human』.
"Lie!!"
The Lie Hunter suddenly got excited, and the power of the scythe increased suddenly. In the cutscene, it directly broke through Zhuge Jun's defense and cut a huge wound on him.
At this time, the game returned to the normal combat state. Zhuge Jun took a closer look and found that his blood volume had dropped a lot, and his torso was slightly damaged.
And this is not the worst.
I saw that the Lie Hunter's scythe seemed to have added some special enchantment, and it faintly emitted a different blood-red light than before.
Not only that, the Lie Hunter's moves actually changed.
Not only did the speed of the moves change, but there were also some fast and slow swords mixed in, and even the original fixed moves had new derivatives.
"Damn, why didn't you show off your awesomeness in the prologue?"
Zhuge Jun was speechless. He quickly began to retreat in the battle, and soon collapsed and got out of control.
Back to the gas lamp, Zhuge Jun briefly summarized the reasons for his failure.
"Sure enough, my initial idea was right. You can't lie!
"If you lie, the boss will be strengthened, which is obviously a level stronger than the previous battle.
"Then I'll try to tell the truth this time?
"I just don't know if there is a chance to choose again in this game. "
With a slightly apprehensive mood, Zhuge Jun once again stepped into the boss battleground.
Sure enough, Ni Tian Tang still had some mercy. This time, after the HP dropped by a quarter, the Lie Hunter rushed up to release the throwing skills, and both sides entered the knife-fighting screen.
It was still the same problem, and there were still ten seconds to choose.
This time Zhuge Jun understood and directly chose "Doll".
This time it was really the truth. He did answer "Doll" on the bridge.
However, the Lie Hunter suddenly got excited, and the scythe in his hand bounced Zhuge Jun again, and cut a bloody wound.
"Lie! !"
Zhuge Jun was shocked: "Oh my God! You don't have martial ethics! I'm telling the truth this time!
"You don't have martial ethics. If you want to cheat, just do it directly. Why are you asking me hypocritically?"
The next battle became suspenseful again. The Lie Hunter had a new trick like last time, and his strength was fully enhanced. Zhuge Jun was defeated again.
Back to the gaslight, Zhuge Jun was very unconvinced.
"Is there a bug in this game? Why would he shout a lie when I tell the truth? This is unfair... Hey, wait, it seems wrong..."
Zhuge Jun was about to shout "This is unfair", but suddenly realized something.
He seemed to be trapped in a paradox!
If he answered "human", then he answered "doll" on the bridge at that time, so this was a lie;
But if he answered "doll", although he told the truth at this time, since he said it was a doll on the bridge, and he was actually a human, then this sentence on the bridge was still a lie.
So, in fact, no matter what Zhuge Jun chooses, he can't change the fact that he once lied on the bridge.
Both situations will be captured by the special skills of the Lie Hunter, and will be seen through on the spot and strengthened.
"Damn, you can't afford it, right!!"
Zhuge Jun was speechless. He thought about it and it seemed that there was only one solution to prevent the Lie Hunter from exploding.
That is to travel back and not lie on the bridge, and directly say that he is a human.
The price is that the giant beast puppet will become a relatively restrained human form, making the boss battle more difficult, but when it comes to fighting the Liar Hunter, the player can directly choose "Human", and the double truth will directly make the Liar Hunter speechless and unable to hunt.
As for after telling the truth, will the Liar Hunter just not be strengthened? Or will it be backfired or weakened?
This is unpredictable, after all, Zhuge Jun did not keep the manual save at that time, and even if he kept it, it would be impossible to play the entire workshop process again.
It's too uncomfortable!
Now Zhuge Jun only has one last choice: hard fight!
"There is still an hour, I hope I can beat it."
He calmed down and continued to fight.
Fortunately, after the boss was strengthened, although there were more changes, it was still within the acceptable range. Zhuge Jun tried three or four more times, and finally continued to reduce the blood volume of the Liar Hunter, forcing him to change weapons.
However, not long after changing weapons, the Lie Hunter, whose health was reduced to half, rushed over again and forced Zhuge Jun into the cutscene again.
"I smell more "lies" on you..."
"Tell me, at the entrance of the workshop area, did you say you were a human or a puppet?"
Zhuge Jun almost vomited blood on the spot: "Damn, you're still here? ?
"What a sin!"
Obviously, the answer to this question is still the same as before. No matter what choice you make, it can only be a lie in the end.
This is purely the designer's malice!
