Chapter 313 The perfect sacrifice
Xu Le's statement almost got the other three people involved, but they still gradually figured out what Xu Le meant.
The so-called misery, the so-called ideals, those feelings of sympathy...
"Is it all fake?" Alley asked.
"It's all true." Xu Le retorted gently.
After a while, Xu Lecai slowly said:
“Everything is true, what he did was real, and he worked hard enough without a trace of deception.
It was precisely because everything was true that it deceived everyone.
What he did was true, but the purpose was different.
Some people tell lies that are nine truths and one falsehood, but his lies are ten truths and no lies, but the ultimate purpose is hidden.
Xiong Zemo's goal is to gain a new life, and he is selfish from beginning to end.
No matter whether he can kill me or defeat me, the existence of Mo Chen will die. He has found a new goal. He wants to live in a new state of youthful vitality..."
Although the people present were all extraordinary people, they still felt a chill when they heard Xu Le's inference about Xiong Zemo.
"You think he's in an Illuminati church now?"
"I don't know, let's go first. I'm running away first. Even if I'm not as fast as Xiong Zemo, the time should be about the same."
"good."
…
Area C, in the pile of ruins left behind after Xu Le and Toad smashed into the secret room.
The night watchmen are quickly cleaning up the rotten creatures here. Although they don't know what these things are, they can be sure that these weird things don't have the aura of ancient sounds on them, which is very strange.
"Has the alchemist arrived?"
"Here we come, Captain Zhang." Duo Lei's voice appeared in the distance.
She walked quickly and put on white work clothes, looking very anxious.
Behind Duo Lei, there was also a female assistant wearing a hat.
The assistant lowered the brim of her hat so that no one could see her clearly, but she would make a clanging sound when she walked.
The two of them arrived at the entrance to the secret room one after another, and the captain of the night watchman who was giving instructions hurried over.
"Warlock Dore, come over quickly and check it out."
"good."
Duo Lei didn't waste any time and followed the night watchman to a rotting corpse. When she saw the corpse for the first time, Duo Lei frowned slightly.
"Captain Zhang, go and get busy. I may need some time here."
"Okay, then I'll bother Sorcerer Dolei."
As a newly hired alchemist, Dore did well in the Night Watch team. At least even the Captain of the Night Watch was polite to her.
After Captain Zhang left, Duo Lei immediately squatted down, put on gloves, and began to check the characteristics of the corpse.
"The original host body is human. This can be judged from the shape of his limbs and the condition of his internal organs.
Judging from the strength of the bones, he should have been an ordinary person and would have broken easily, but the branches replaced the original bones.
These branches are tougher, tougher, and feel like mass-produced weapons.
What a terrible technology..."
Duo Lei looked at the body of the person in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.
After making her evaluation, she looked at the assistant behind her and suddenly asked:
"Senior, don't you have anything to say about the current situation at the lighthouse?"
"What do you want me to say?" Chi Xiao slowly raised his head.
"This kind of obvious human experiment is taboo even in the Red Moon Temple, but Beacon is conducting it openly in the Lower City. Don't you think there is a problem?"
Chi Xiao pressed down his hat and looked calm:
"Xiao is just a thug. Such complicated things are too unfamiliar to me, and I'm not very interested."
"All the energy flowing in their bodies is the spirit of the Red Moon. Their approach is completely different from that of the temple. This is the wrong path."
Looking at the indignant Duo Lei, Chi Xiao blinked:
"Then what?"
"Then...such behavior is inhumane? What else is there? They are both believers in the Red Moon. Have the Illuminati and the Temple have embarked on completely different paths?"
"Ah, but these things have nothing to do with us, right? No one assigned us tasks, and there is no money." Chi Xiao still looked uninterested.
Duo Lei stared at Chi Xiao for a while:
"Does the senior only have tasks and money in his eyes? Are there no other things and pursuits? Are we pursuing bright ideals?"
Chi Xiao took off his hat and fanned himself, as it seemed a little hot here.
"No, I want to retire when I am 30 years old. If I make more money, my life after retirement will be better.
Also, I am 22 this year, so you don’t need to always call me senior. "
I don't know whether it was Chi Xiao's salty fish concept or the sentence "I am 22 this year" that deeply hurt Duo Lei. After Duo Lei raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes for a while, she finally sighed.
"Chixiao, why are you always in such a careless state? Isn't there something that would excite you?"
"Yes, there are quite a lot of exciting things."
"What?" Duo Lei immediately asked.
"For example, when I win money, I get very excited."
"Can you still gamble?"
"Can't you?" Chi Xiao said matter-of-factly.
Duo Lei had nothing to do with her. She turned her gaze to the corpse on the ground and said in a deep voice:
"Now the development of the lighthouse has completely exceeded the arrangements and guidance of the temple. The previous informants have died, so one of the purposes of my coming to the lighthouse this time is to investigate what is being done on the tower. Illumination Will be doing something."
Duo Lei said and glanced at Chi Xiao, only to find that Chi Xiao was staring at the entrance of the secret passage in a daze.
"Chixiao, what are you looking at?"
"It's nothing. The seal on this door was broken using a combination of thunder and lightning and the ancient divine water technique. It is very good in line with the technique. It is creative and powerful. I think this compound technique can be developed more intensively."
Chi Xiao rubbed his chin, looking very interested in the compound technique.
But Duo Lei felt very uncomfortable:
"Chixiao, were you listening to me just now?"
"I'm listening. I've been listening. I'm a very polite person. Oh, by the way, what did you just say? Although I'm polite, I don't have a very good memory."
Duo Lei stared at Chi Xiao, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Rebuke the other person?
How could it be possible? Even if the one-eyed owl had a mission to cooperate with her, there was absolutely no way she would scold Chi Xiao. Doing so was almost like courting death.
But Chi Xiao is now in a completely uncooperative state, which makes Duo Lei very difficult to deal with.
Without Chi Xiao's strength, many things would not be possible.
"Chixiao, I need your power, I want to see it."
"Go and take a look? What are you looking for?" Chi Xiao didn't know if he was asking knowingly.
Duo Lei knelt down and touched the golden tree limbs on the corpse:
"I want to go up to the tower and see what's going on up there, what's up there, what they're doing..."
Chi Xiao looked at her condescendingly:
"Isn't the establishment of the Illuminati all under the supervision of the temple? Since they are a group, what's so good about it?"
Duo Lei raised her head and looked at Chi Xiao.
"Chixiao, haven't you ever doubted Hongyue?"
"The spirit of the Red Moon protects us, why should I doubt the Red Moon?"
"Aren't the current Red Moon and the current Red Moon Temple worthy of your suspicion? You already have such strength, why are you still so careless?"
Duo Lei's questioning again had no effect on Chi Xiao, so Chi Xiao just spread his hands:
"I feel pretty good now. I believe Hongyue will be over."
"Forget it, I won't ask you these questions anymore. You need to give me a guarantee about going to the tower."
Chi Xiao turned to look at the tower, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes:
"Okay, I want to see it too."
"Then it's settled. When the time comes, we'll go to the tower."
After saying that, Duo Lei walked in the direction of Captain Zhang. After she left, Chi Xiao slowly moved his eyes to the rotting corpse on the ground.
"Temptation? Is it her temptation or the temple's temptation?"
…
Uptown, in the Illuminati church.
Wang Man was sitting in a separate prayer room, praying seriously to the Lord of Glory whom the Illuminati believed in.
In fact, the Lord whom the Illuminati believes in does not have a definite name at all, and may not even exist.
Others don't know this, but Wang Man, as a believer in Light Casting, understands it very well now.
The essence of the Illuminati exists to steal the power of Lightforge.
The so-called light they believe in is actually the light casting itself, and the light casting belongs to Guyinduo, and is even in an opposite state to the Illuminati.
What is hidden under the golden tree is only rot and no light.
So when Wang Man was praying, his heart was full of ridicule for the light enshrined here.
However, she still maintained her respect. After all, she came to the Illuminati Church during this period just to get tickets for the upper floors of the tower.
"I hope that the glory of my Lord can bathe in me. Wang Man is always ready to dedicate everything to my Lord. I hope that my Lord can listen to my prayers."
"Miss Wang Man seems to be hiding many secrets in her heart." The officiant said softly while standing in the prayer room.
"Everyone has many secrets, Master Priest."
"I heard from the pastor that you can be seen here praying every day. It seems that Miss Wang Man has some important matters that cannot be resolved. You can express your confusion in front of our Lord."
Wang Man glanced at the officiant. Although she couldn't see his face, her intuition told her that the guy in front of her had no human aura.
If it weren't for humans...
"It's just love, it's a personal matter." Wang Man smiled.
"Are you confused because of such a thing? Emotions are really complicated, but how can someone as outstanding as Miss Wang Man fail to love her? I feel like the other party has very little vision."
To be honest, Wang Man already felt something was wrong when a church priest said such words in the prayer room.
Jumping for joy.
She could feel excitement from the other party's body and tone.
What is he excited about?
"No, love has to be because the other person has no vision, just because... the other person's lover is better than me."
"Better than Miss Wang Man? Does Miss Wang Man agree in her heart?"
When Wang Man heard this, he felt more and more that something was wrong with the officiant in front of him.
She suddenly thought of something Xu Le said, and said a little superiorly:
"Is it difficult to admit that others are good? I have started to reflect on myself."
Officiant:…
"Miss Wang Man, don't say that. Although I always think that it is difficult to admit that others are excellent, I am afraid that I can't do it like Miss Wang Man."
"What does the officiant want to express?"
"Miss Wang Man's heart is so pure and full of light. I think you should not be limited to these emotions. You should have some greater visions and ideals."
Wang Man stood up from his seat, holding down the notebook in his bag with one hand and clenching his fist slightly with the other.
"Master Priest, ideals and concerns are not the same thing. Although I have some concerns in my heart, these concerns will not interfere with my ideals. Ideals are lofty.
I will never stop pursuing my ideals. After all... this is a great cause. "
The officiant's eyes shone slightly and he nodded.
"Yes, ideals belong to great causes. I have always thought so and have been working hard for it."
Wang Man stood up and prepared to leave.
The usual priests were not the guy in front of her. She had never seen this chief priest before, and he always gave her an unsafe feeling.
So today she left earlier than usual and didn't even go over to have an active communication with the officiant.
"Master Priest, I have finished my prayer today, so I will go back first."
"Miss Wang Man seems to have left earlier than usual today, why not stay a little longer?"
While the officiant was speaking, he gently walked down from the prayer room.
His steps were not slow, and Wang Man was also retreating, but Wang Man did not turn around. At this time, she did not dare to take her eyes away from the guy in front of her.
"Does the officiant even bother with my prayer time? This should be my private matter, right?"
"No, I just hope Miss Wang Man can wait a little longer. The people looking for you haven't come yet. It's only the afternoon and it's not dusk yet.
The time, place, and characters don't match up yet, so please be patient. "
Wang Man no longer needed to feel it at this time. There must be something wrong with the guy in front of him.
It's just that she is also a little curious and looking forward to the person looking for her...
"Who is the person looking for me?"
"You know, Miss Wang Man, that is the person you cannot love."
"Xu Le?"
"Is this the person Miss Wang Man wants to meet? Haha, so you have to be more patient. Dusk is coming soon, and Xu Le should be here too. It's really an exciting moment."
The officiant walked down slowly, and Wang Man ran out when he found the opportunity.
Unlike her weak-looking body, she ran quite fast and was definitely above the level of a level 1 warrior.
But the officiant just smiled, stretched out a hand, let two golden branches wrap around her, and then covered Wang Man's mouth with a leaf.
The officiant slowly stepped forward and pinched Wang Man's chin, with regret on his face:
"I originally thought you were the perfect sacrifice, but then I realized I was wrong. I found a sacrifice that was better than you.
You just absorbed a little bit of Lightforged's power, and he...
His powerful body was full of explosion and wisdom. He grabbed my forehead tightly. I could even feel the thunder and lightning and ancient sound and spiritual energy flowing through my brain. That suffocating feeling...
The red flames ignited on his fingers were like the most ancient cry in the world.
He has the aura of a warrior and a sorcerer, an intoxicating aura that makes people die. I like him so much...hisssssss~ha! "
The officiant's expression was very intoxicating, but Wang Man felt a chill.
Could this guy be talking about him...
