Hao Ren did not know what was released by the Thirteen Saints, nor did they know what ceremony they held, but some things were for sure: Hasselblad ’s return from Ancatello territory, regarding the original sin of God ’s blood The news made the saints feel horrified. They must have known this original sin for a long time, or at least understood it, so they rushed to take action. They found a "Holy Vessel" from the ancient relics of Corpus and activated it, but this ritual led to an unexpected "monster" awakening from a nightmare, and when everyone was unprepared "Infected" the garrison of the entire Corpus space.
This influence is deep and unnoticeable. It does not rigidly control the minds of saints and elders, but allows the controlled persons to change their thinking patterns while keeping them awake, so that they think they are sober. Make a series of unreasonable actions afterwards rationally, such as catching Demon Hunter elders including Hasselblad, and cleaning Demon Hunter of all different factions.
In the whole process, the saints never left the ritual hall, and all their instructions were conveyed through the heralds and attendants standing outside the hall. No one knows what state they were in those days, and no one knows whether their spirits have completely collapsed and succumbed to the sound in their minds. Judging from their orders, they had changed their temperament at that time, but they never left the hall. Based on the last words of Bedolis, Hao Ren guessed that their purpose in staying in the hall was to trap "that thing" in Ritual scene.
"This is very contradictory," after hearing the analysis of Hao Ren, Vivian was full of doubts, "They followed the" instructions "to start a civil war, while still staying in the hall to suppress the" monster "? Is this really controlled? Still not controlled? "
Hao Ren looked at Claude: "Where is the ceremonial hall? The truth will be clear over there."
"At the top of the tower, closest to the first saint's residence," Claude nodded, "there is the energy center of the spirit world clock tower, and also the Space - Time entanglement point of the entire Corpus, when each is held During this kind of ritual, there will be a strong mysterious force focused directly on the hall. I think that the energy should not be dissipated until now-so only a small number of people can enter. Excessive numbers may cause the vortex to collapse. "
La Nina reminded beside: "We have got all the energy nodes of Corpus."
"The energy in the ritual hall is provided by the Lingjie Clock Tower itself," Claude shook his head. "Although we don't know where this energy comes from, it has been stable for thousands of years. Use it to drive most of the facilities in the upper zone of the tower. "
"This kind of thing with unknown origin and unknown power is really a loss. You can rest assured that you can use it for thousands of years," Hao Ren shook his head and looked at the people around him. "Okay, Vivian, Lily, and Pharaoh. , And then there are Baihuo and Tutanin. Plus I have a total of six people, shouldn't they exceed the standard? "
Claude blinked: "No problem, as long as you do n’t use too much magic or weapons to fire at the ceiling."
Lily and Vivian immediately looked at Hao Ren, the latter shrunk his neck: "Why do you see me?"
"Do n’t just blow things up," Y’zaks patted Hao Ren on the shoulder. "I do n’t hit meteorites much now."
"I ..." Hao Ren pointed to his nose, "Is that all technical work, okay! I have a lot of weight, but I have never been very accurate!"
Little Elizabeth was a little unhappy after being excluded from the team, but the little devil girl was small but very sensible, how to say that she could also replace her father ’s talented child in Devil ’s City In general, she stayed obediently and searched for the rest of the tower together with La Nina.
Claude led the Hao Ren and his party out of this spooky banquet hall, from a secret spiral ramp to the place where the ceremony was originally held. After leaving the hall, Hao Ren looked at Claude's shackles: "Seriously, do you really want to act with this set of things together? This is not suitable for combat."
Claude lifted his hands. Most of his chains had been removed. Only two arms were still wrapped with heavy rune shackles: "Until now I still have the urge to kill. Each of you, the reason why I can suppress this impulse is because its impact is slightly reduced now. These runes make my magic continue to pass, and only when I am in a state of weakness, my mind That thing can calm down a little bit. I guess that thing works with magic or host ... vitality. "
"You were a dangerous man before, and the magic is stronger than everyone else, so La Nina used this special device for you. It seems that this is the way to dispel the stuff in your mind," Y’zaks Hehe smiled, "Hey-but this method will not last long."
"I wish we could put an end to this mess in the ritual hall," Hao Ren sighed and suddenly remembered something when he saw Tutanin walking behind him. "Wait, I suddenly remembered, Bedolis. Did you give the bloodstone of Vivian to you before the accident? "
He reminded everyone that he and his friends were involved in the matter at the beginning of the blood spar — the white fire took the breakout and gave it to Vivian, which triggered the follow-up Series of events.
Bedolis had foreseen everything today before he held a "ceremony" with other saints?
Why did he not stop his companion, but held the ceremony together?
"Every saint has a special power. The saints of Bedolis can see the future when they are messy and obscure, but he does have a hunch," Tutanin sighed softly, "but his ability It ’s not enough to change my destiny. I believe he had anticipated the disaster ahead of time, but he did n’t know that the problem would lie in that ceremony-probably he even felt that the ceremony was the key to avoiding disaster. Anyway, things happened, and He did his best to leave a glimmer of hope, we can't ask for more. "
The secret passage leading to the ritual hall is very long, extending forward in the dark as if there were no end. Due to some kind of spatial distortion, Hao Ren was a little afraid to be sure when he was walking in the secret passage. Move up or down. Bored, he continued to ask Claude some questions: "You showed a strong tendency to attack when you saw Vivian, but none of the other church groups we caught Demon Hunter did."
"To be honest, I don't know what happened," Claude shook his head honestly, "I know 'The Countess Who Brought Red Moon', but I have no extra hatred for her ... Hunting instincts Except for impulse. Today is the first time I saw this legendary vampire, but as soon as I met, I felt that I had to kill her. This is a mission, a kind of ... impulsiveness more terrible than hunting instinct. It completely occupies my entire thought. Seriously, I do n’t want to experience it for the second time. For the first time in my life, I feel that I ca n’t control my body. That is a terrible experience. ”
"The biggest difference between you and other warriors is that you are standing by the saints all year round, and it is the only Demon Hunter that can talk directly to the first saint," Vivian said lightly. "Stay beside that kind of person. This is enough to make you different, you may become more vulnerable to mental attacks, and may be synchronized with the saints ’minds. When they are shocked during the ritual, you will also be" injured. " Do you still remember why you ran to the frontline alone? You are the first saint ’s attendant. It stands to reason that you do n’t need to go to the frontline at all. In theory, you should stay here and be a member of the walking dead. "
Claude shook his head: "I don't remember. I just remember that I was controlled by an impulse to 'purify heretics'. This impulse became stronger and stronger, probably it was the reason that drove me away from the tower. "
"In short, the extra aggressive tendency you show against Vivian is a dangerous symptom. This machine recommends that you cooperate with us after the incident ... to conduct some medical examinations," ASanbaA suddenly got out of the Hao Ren pocket, "We have dealt with all kinds of super life that can affect the mind. If you don't want to leave any surprises in your mind, it is best to do a comprehensive physical examination."
Claude was shocked when he saw ASanbaA: "What is this!?"
"A ... high-tech equipment, don't care," Hao Ren grabbed the terminal back, and at the same time, he found that the passage had come to an end, "Is the ritual hall in front?"
At the end of the passage is a small gate courtyard, with ancient faded stone columns supporting the towering vaults, and on both sides of the gate courtyard is the bottomless abyss: in this tower with a strange spatial structure, this terrain does not Not surprisingly.
In front of everyone, it was a huge door cast of metal and engraved with complex patterns.
"There is indeed energy fluctuation behind the gate, which is very powerful, and has a three-level alert state," ASanbaA projected a blue light scanning the gate. "In addition, it also detected signs of space skew, and initially judged that a continuous space door is opening , Perhaps to transfer energy to the hall. "
Hao Ren subconsciously lowered the voice: "What about signs of life? What about mental fluctuations or other traces of consciousness?"
"No, no life response was found, nor any form of intellectual activity."
Y’zaks slowly turned into a flame demon form, he took a heavy step to the gate: "Is the body of the" monster "really still inside?"
"Perhaps it has no mental activity, or even life characteristics, something that is almost a natural disaster, have we solved this type of event? For example, the anger," Hao Ren also took a step forward and pressed his hand on On the door, "Lily, put a spicy stick in your mouth, Vivian, prepare lightning, fire, tutanin, remote support to you. But be careful, don't do it easily unless you are attacked-the monster may still Being controlled by some kind of ritual, we have to prevent it from being self-defeating and completely getting rid of it. "
After finishing this sentence, Hao Ren took a deep breath and stared at the huge metal door in front of him.
The monster released by the saints from the nightmare may be entrenched in the room behind the gate. An unknown, powerful monster that may have come from the Day of God Killing. What will it look like? What kind of existence will it be? Is it a creature? dead? phenomenon? Or is it just a curse?
Hao Ren and Y’zaks were pushed towards the gate at the same time, and the heavy metal door made a frightening loud noise and slowly opened.
"... Terminal, call the battleship, we may need some technical support." (To be continued.)
