Chapter 7

Ren walked away quickly, and did not breathe out until he could no longer see the church.

He rolled up his sleeves and looked. There was a bruise on his arm from the beating. It was obvious when he looked in the mirror in the apartment before, but now it has faded to almost disappear.

At this moment, the scars on the whole body felt a heat flow, the muscles were a little sore, and there seemed to be many ants crawling in the body, it was crispy and itchy, but very comfortable.

The same is true of the place where the back of the head was hit hard. Even if I press it with my hand, I can't feel the pain.

Ren finally knew why he was beaten so long by Ramsay, was seriously injured, and was sunk in the river, but he was able to recover from his injuries so quickly.

This is the function of the mobile phone absorbing the soul.

What he absorbed in the square just now was the soul of Ruiz, but when he crossed over last night, what he absorbed was the soul of his predecessor, the last "Ren"!

Without the contribution of his predecessor, it is impossible for Rennes to come back to life now.

Thinking of this, Ren's mood is very complicated.

Not only did he occupy other people's bodies, he didn't even let go of their souls, and became the nourishment for his recovery.

"I will definitely avenge you with my own hands." Ren said silently.

In addition to the skyrocketing battery and almost healed injuries, two or three icons were activated on the phone interface. However, there were too many people on the street, so Ren didn't check the functions of these icons immediately, and continued to look for a place to live.

While walking on the road, Ren quietly turned on the camera and observed the people who appeared in the field of vision.

Under the strange eyes, everyone's soul is revealed.

Ryan found that the souls of most people are similar, at least in terms of strength and weakness, the difference between ordinary people is very small.

After secretly observing hundreds of people along the way, he gradually figured out some patterns.

The color of the soul represents a person's emotions.

When people are relaxed and calm, with little emotional ups and downs, the soul will appear pale; if emotional, such as anger, anger, it will turn from white to red, the redder the color, the more intense the emotional fluctuations, and the deeper the anger .

When the mood is low, such as sadness and mourning, the soul will turn blue.

Green expresses happiness and pleasure, while yellow expresses concern or admiration.

Pain and fear are black, disgust and dissatisfaction are pink, and numbness and dullness are gray.

But the color of the soul is not always pure and single. People's emotions are always changing, usually mixed with two or more colors, like a mass of mixed paint.

If a person is far away, Ren only looks at the color change of the soul, and it is difficult to immediately distinguish a person's mood swings.

Only when he gets within ten steps and concentrates on a target, can he intuitively sense the fluctuation of the soul, as if he empathizes with him, and understands someone's mood most accurately.

Rennes looked all the way, the souls of the people in the Rien District are mainly gray, mixed with some blue or pink, and few people have green and white souls.

Ren sighed secretly, it was obvious.

How can people living in the slums have a good mood, few people will be satisfied with life here.

Color is the outward expression of the soul, but within, is the true essence of the soul.

Ren noticed that there was a strange thing lurking deep in everyone's soul.

This thing is like a symbol, its size is very small, and it is easy to ignore it if you don't look carefully. It is made of red and black, twisted into a ball, with teeth and claws, swimming in the souls of all people like a living thing, exuding a foul breath.

Ren is very familiar with this breath, which is very similar to the breath on Ruiz just now, and the two obviously come from the same source.

"Blood Soul Curse!"

Ren recognized it immediately.

The evil thing in everyone's soul, what else could it be other than the curse of blood and soul?

"Is the blood soul curse in my soul the same as everyone else's?" Ren couldn't be sure because he couldn't see the state of his soul.

Although I heard the whisper of the Lord of Darkness in the nightmare last night, it is certain that there is a curse, but his soul is fused by two people, and there is a mutated mobile phone, so I don't know if there is a difference.

Except for the curse of the blood soul, the soul forms of most people are very simple, and Ren can see through the inside and outside at a glance, which shows that they are ordinary people.

There are very few people whose souls are both powerful and unique.

The souls of these people are similar to the holy swordsman Dempsey. The souls are more solid and layered. There are not only blood soul curses in the core, but also other foreign objects.

Some of these foreign bodies are abstract characters, and some are the appearance of certain creatures, and they are all different.

Ren knows that these things are soul elements!

Each element in the soul represents an ability, and those who possess the elements are all extraordinary.

For example, Ren saw an extremely strong man, he was a head taller than ordinary people, wearing light armor on his upper body, wearing long combat boots, a round iron shield hanging behind his back, and a handle between the shield and his back The sword, only the hilt was exposed, but judging from the thick hilt, the weight of this sword was definitely not light.

He walked on the street, his heavy footsteps made a muffled sound, but his speed was not slow. The pedestrians in front of him gave way one after another, for fear of being hit by him.

Anyone can see that this is an extraordinary person.

Ren observed the soul of this extraordinary person, which was several times stronger than that of ordinary people. It was divided into three layers from the outside to the inside, and there were two elements in the deepest part.

He was a little curious, and quietly quickened his pace to keep up with the other party, concentrating on looking directly at the soul.

The details of the two elements are magnified in the eyes, one is a white tricolor symbol, and the other is a gray stone symbol.

Ren didn't know what these two elements were called, but the intuitive feeling from them made him understand the functions of these two elements.

The white symbol represents pure power, allowing the opponent to have a huge power far beyond ordinary people;

The gray stone talisman can make people's skin tough and strong, and their body strong, resist ordinary injuries, and improve the body's resistance.

"This man is an 'Iron Guard', no wonder he is wearing armor."

Ren didn't know much about extraordinary professions, but he also knew that Iron Guard was one of the most common extraordinary professions.

Iron guards are good at defense. Although pure strength is not as good as "Berserker", they have a balanced offense and defense, long-lasting physical strength, tenacity, and can adapt to various combat environments. Many nobles and chambers of commerce like to hire iron guards as guards, and even train them themselves, so they are very popular.

The disadvantage of Iron Guard is that it is slow, but this is compared to other extraordinary professions.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this Tiewei walks extremely fast, striding a long distance in one step, leaving others behind in just a few steps.

Ren didn't want to follow up, but saw the other party walking into a hotel on the side of the road.

This hotel is very large, occupying the best location on the street, almost in the center of the Lyon district, with a total of three floors and a large courtyard behind it.

Even from a distance, you can hear the noise coming from the hotel lobby.

"The Basil Inn."

Ren observed for a while, and guests came in and out of the hotel from time to time, and found that many of these people were extraordinary, and he saw three of them in a short while.

This immediately aroused his interest.

It's still morning, and it's not even time for lunch, but this hotel is so lively, and there are so many transcendent people coming and going, it's obviously not an ordinary hotel.

Ren entered through the gate, and a strong smell of alcohol came over his face.

Looking around, there are more than a dozen tables in the spacious hall, and half of the tables have customers. They drink wine wantonly and make a lot of noise, and no one notices that someone has come in.

People gathered around the table, not just drinking, but playing cards.

"It's time for me to play the cards, haha, you're doomed this round!"

"Fireball, blast you to death!"

"What kind of shit luck is your hand?"

"Damn, I don't accept it, give it another shot."

All kinds of voices came and went, one by one holding the cards in their hands, with focused and rich expressions.

Someone caught a good card and gulped beer happily; someone lost and cursed; The whole hotel was full of noise and noise that didn't stop.

Of course, not everyone is playing cards, just sitting at the table drinking and chatting with friends, as if exchanging some information.

When Ren saw this scene, he couldn't help being stunned.

This was completely different from what he had expected, and then he remembered that they were playing a game called "All Souls Card".

This game has been popular in the empire for many years. It started as a simulated battle between the extraordinary profession "Wizard of All Souls". Later, the gameplay gradually spread, and more and more people played. The Alchemy Association saw business opportunities, improved the rules of the game, and officially issued various cards. Fans spent money to buy and collect them, and then played against their friends on the table.

The All Souls Card is not only popular among ordinary people, but also many nobles and extraordinary people enjoy it.

Some enthusiasts with strong financial resources set up clubs for this purpose, and regularly hold competitions. The competitions are graded according to their size.

So popular that there are even professions that make a living out of poker, called poker players.

Ryan has never played All Souls Card, only watched his classmates play it.

Because cards are not cheap and hard to collect.

To play a game of cards, each player must have at least a set of 60 cards. According to the quality of the card, the price also rises accordingly. The cheapest common card is only a few copper lisos, while the rarest legendary card is said to be worth tens of thousands of gold shields, which is astonishing!

Ren bypassed the group of guests who came to play cards early in the morning and came to the hotel counter.

Before he could speak, a deep voice came from behind the counter, which could be heard clearly even in such a noisy hall.

"Young man, do you want to stay in a hotel? Or come to play cards?"

A passionate face looked up from behind the counter. This face could not tell the age. Most of the face was blocked by a thick red beard. The huge nose was very conspicuous. There were a pair of brown eyes in the deep-set eye sockets. Thick and thick, with red hair on top shaved in a garish Mohigan cut.

When Ren saw the cockscomb-like hairstyle, he almost couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to really laugh.

Because it's a dwarf.

The counter is only half the height of a person, and Ren can see the dwarf's body, even if the other person's height is only up to his chest, but his body develops horizontally, his arms are thicker than his thighs, his waist is big and his arms are round, his muscles are strong, like a big wine barrel, I'm afraid he weighs twice as much as himself, and if he fights, he will only be beaten.

Dwarves are not human beings. They have not been cursed and are born with brute force.

Ren secretly checked the other party's soul. His soul is different from that of a human being, but it is stronger than ordinary extraordinary people.

He was a little surprised that a dwarf could be seen in the Lien district.

Dwarves were not uncommon in the empire, especially in the big cities on the back of the mountains or along the coast. Many dwarves settled down, ran various businesses, and some became official subjects of the empire.

There are also dwarves in Longshande, but they all live in the relatively affluent Honiton District, or the Silver Star District where the Transcendent Academy is located, and they generally don't come out easily.

"Boss, how much is the cheapest room here?" Ren asked.
