Chapter 841 Chain of Pain

Ma Tao and Ma Yun, who were blown away by Jacob, finally landed near the market, which was where Tang Ning led them to buy local specialties in the morning.

This is the busiest neighborhood in Agats, with shops and houses nearby.

Local residents were all alarmed when they saw two red "big birds" sliding down from the sky and crashing into a nearby warehouse when they landed.

The timid ones quickly hid in the shed and closed the doors and windows.

But there were also brave and curious people who came to watch.

Ma Tao didn't want to cause panic among passers-by, so he quickly changed back to human form, switched his secondary profession to a priest, which he was more proficient in, and ran into the collapsed warehouse in a hurry to look for his sister, regardless of the suspicious eyes of the onlookers.

"Ma Yun? Ma Yun? Are you okay?"

In the warehouse, Xiao Ma had also changed back to human form and crawled out of a pile of betel nuts with a dusty face.

Ma Tao was relieved to see his sister, but he was still a little worried and wanted to treat her.

"I'm not injured, you should save your magic power for fighting." Ma Yun didn't want to accept her brother's kindness.

"You have a big swelling on your head, why are you pretending to be strong!"

Ma Tao slapped his sister on the forehead in annoyance, and applied "spontaneous medical treatment" to help her eliminate the swelling.

Ma Yun rubbed his forehead, looked up at the sky, and confusion appeared in his eyes: "Strange, why is Jacob gone?"

"Don't worry about that pretentious guy, I'll contact Brother Fei now, I hope he's okay."

Ma Tao opened the star disk and was about to send a message in the team channel when he suddenly heard an extremely shrill scream.

"Wow! Who screamed so miserably...Sarilang?"

The brother and sister looked at the place where the scream came from. It seemed to be a store across the street, and they didn't know what happened.

Seeing his sister eager to try, Ma Tao quickly frowned and warned: "Be quiet, we don't have time to meddle in other people's business now--"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right thigh root, as if being cut by a sharp blade, cramps and bones were pulled out, and the pain made Ma Tao fall to the ground and almost fainted.

At the same time, Ma Yun also felt a sharp pain in his leg, his face suddenly turned pale, and dense cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Wo Shi Shi Xian Ren Ban Bang!" Ma Tao hugged his thigh and cursed in pain, "What's going on? Giving birth is not so painful!"

"You haven't given birth to a baby, how do you know how painful it is..."

Ma Yun herself curled up like a shrimp in pain, but her mouth was not idle, and she took every opportunity to argue with her brother.

Ma Tao glared at her, and looked around in pain, and found that passers-by in the market were also like him, hugging their thighs and groaning on the ground, and some even fainted in pain.

Ma Tao looked at the pain and there was no sign of injury at all.

The passers-by who fell on the street and wailed in pain also showed no abnormality, but felt the same intense pain in the same part.

"It seems to be just a simple neuralgia..." Ma Yun guessed with gritted teeth, "Remember the scream just now? If I'm not mistaken, the eighth-ranked apostle of the Holy Blood Knights, Bartholomew 'Scream', should be hiding nearby!"

Ma Tao completely agreed with his sister's speculation. He opened the star chart to check his status bar, and suddenly a debuff called "phantom pain" appeared!

As the literal meaning, phantom pain is not pathological pain, but an illusion.

The victim of phantom pain is like being hypnotized. The caster makes you feel that you are in pain, and you cannot resist the hypnosis with your own willpower, so you will experience a feeling of severe pain - even though it is just a psychological suggestion.

In the most extreme cases, it can even make people die of pain, just like being scared to death by a terrifying monster that does not actually exist.

According to the information provided by Tang Ning, after "Screaming" Bartholomew took the hero potion, he awakened the "hypnotic" superpower "Chain of Pain", which can convey the pain he feels to the people around him through howling, so that those who hear the screams will experience double the pain.

This strange superpower just corresponds to the strange situation on the street.

Ma Tao is sure that all the people on the street who are suffering from unexplained leg pain, including himself and his sister, are victims of Bartholomew!

"This pervert, indiscriminately attacking passers-by, is simply inhumane!"

Ma Tao cursed and extracted magic power, endured the severe pain, and cast "Secondary Mind Barrier" for his sister and himself.

This 3rd ring spell can resist low-level negative mental effects, including illusions, hypnosis and enchantment magic below 3rd ring, as well as similar supernatural abilities.

Bartholomew's "Chain of Pain" should not exceed the immunity limit of "Secondary Mind Barrier".

To put it another way, even if it is not completely immune, it can at least offset most of the pain.

After the "Secondary Mind Barrier" was applied, Ma Yun's pain disappeared. She rolled her black eyes and whispered to her brother.

Ma Tao nodded repeatedly and praised his sister: "Not bad, not bad, you are still very cunning!"

As time went by, the impact of the "Chain of Pain" was also declining.

The stronger passers-by who fell to the ground and groaned on the street had already supported themselves and climbed up, limping away from this weird place.

Ma Tao also stood up and cast the "Level 3 Monster Summoning Technique", summoning a golden ball of light, which was like a lantern hanging in the air, emitting a holy light.

This inconspicuous ball of light is actually the "Holy Light Messenger" from heaven. As soon as Ma Tao summoned it, it opened the "Threat Aura" and "Anti-Evil Array", and then cast the 2nd ring "Assistance Spell", which provided the brother and sister with a triple buff, comprehensively improving attack, defense, immunity and vitality, and weakening hostile creatures accordingly.

Ma Yun cast the "Shield Spell" on herself and loaded six special bullets into the revolver.

Each bullet was infused with magic in advance, and the corresponding number was marked on the outside of the revolver.

The six bullets in the magazine, from No. 1 to No. 6, were infused with "Shape Change", "Thunder Wave", "Spider Web Spell", "Flash Dust", "Fuel Spell" and "Fireball Spell".

The brother and sister were ready, pretending to limp, mixed into the crowd, approached the direction where the scream came from before, and carefully searched for Bartholomew's traces.

…

A middle-aged woman in a rose-red sarong skirt sat in front of the counter of a woodcarving shop, her head lowered, her long hair half covering her heavily made-up face.

She looked like an ordinary shop owner, but her flat chest and protruding Adam's apple exposed her true gender.

"What does it mean to 'let the world feel pain'? That fool Jacob the Great doesn't understand the beauty of pain at all. He should share pain with the world."

The eighth apostle Bartholomew, who was both a "transvestite" and a "masochist", muttered to himself while holding a blood-stained carving knife.
