Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 72 The Crisis of Longque

Lu Fuji kneeled on the ground, holding his hands on the ground and panting violently. His eyes were flashing with split lightning, and the thunder around him flickered and flickered, shining brightly in the darkness.

 Advanced!

 He finally advanced.

 The unprecedented joy is not only due to the improvement in strength.

 What he is more looking forward to is whether his condition can be improved.

 Because his life level has evolved, the disease may be completely suppressed.

 Even killing it is not impossible.

Many years ago, Lu Fuji heard a saying that it is often the patient's own immune system that truly cures the disease, and drugs only play an auxiliary role at most.

 He didn't know whether this statement was rigorous or whether it was true or false.

 But at least it gave him hope.

 Because of this, he has continued to exercise over the years and maintain a good attitude.

 However, the result disappointed him.

 His illness does not seem to have improved, and is even worse than before.

 Because after he advanced, his headache became even more intense.

 Vaguely, he seemed to hear something roaring deep in his mind, as if it was about to break through the shackles at any time and destroy his soul and body.

What the **** is that?

This heavy blow made him stunned.

He has obviously evolved, but his condition is getting more and more serious. This means that from now on, he will have to live with the disease every day and endure endless torture.

 There is no hope of resolution.

"elder brother?"

Lu Sixian squatted beside him, tilting her head slightly, her short hair flowing out.

Lu Buer covered his head with both hands, slowly let out the annoyance in his chest, and whispered: "Ah, I'm fine, don't worry about me. Lu Sixian, have you heard of cancer?"

Lu Sixian shook her head: "No."

 What the hell, I’ve never heard of it.

 It seems that in the new world, no one really suffers from this disease.

The only way Lu Fuji can think of is to find those cocoon breakers who suffered from cancer before dormancy, and then ask them when the disease resolved.

 There must be such people in the new world.

 At that time we will be able to tell what kind of disease he has.

The first is the research of his parents back then, the second is the Kabbalah Tree of Life system of Aurora Technology, and the new world five hundred years later will no longer have such terminal diseases as cancer, but he is the one who got the express delivery from the mysterious man. And the freaks who survived were like loopholes.

 Out of tune with this world.

Of course, he has another clue.

 That’s what I learned from the Ministry of Purana, about the secret of the Mother Nest of Creation.

 In legend, the core of his ability is cells that proliferate indefinitely.

Hmm, there is still hope.

Lu Fuji stood up and suddenly found a drop of blood on the ground.

Lu Sixian was holding a shard of glass in her hand, her fingertips still dripping with blood.

 “What did you do?”

Lu Fuji was stunned for a moment: "Did you harm yourself?"

Lu Sixian put away the glass pieces guiltily and took back her hand.

Lu Fuji then realized something was wrong and subconsciously touched his lips.

 Suddenly, I also touched a little blood.

　　“Did you feed me your blood?”

Lu Fuji vaguely thought of something and was startled.

The experience just now was very dangerous, because there was so much life energy gathered during the advancement process that the thunder and lightning released almost exploded his body. But fortunately, he felt a majestic vitality in the end, and through this he realized The feeling of becoming one with the force of nature.

 Now he finally knew what was going on.

 Only Lu Sixian helped him.

"No."

Lu Sixian opened her eyes and told lies.

"to be honest!"

 Lu Fuji frowned.

  “Hello.”

Lu Sixian said expressionlessly.

Lu Fuji's heart tightened slightly as he thought of the memory he had swallowed before.

 A feeling of guilt arises spontaneously.

 “What happened to your blood...?”

He couldn't help but ask.

Lu Sixian shook her head and said softly: "I don't remember. I had a kitten when I was very young. One time, the kitten got cat plague and was almost dying. It just licked the wound on my knee. I miraculously recovered within two days. My parents said that this is the ability given to me by God, but I must keep it secret from outsiders, otherwise I will be captured by bad guys.”

Lu Fujin narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself: "I see. No wonder Ji Lun wanted to devour her blood after implanting the dark matter. Otherwise, he might have died on the spot. There was no way to kill the Thorn Ghost. Raise it in your own body and treat the living person as your mother body.”

 When he looked at the girl again, his eyes changed.

 This is the witch.

Her blood can help people extend their lives.

Her paintings can also predict upcoming disasters in the future.

Most people may feel scared, but Lu Fuji thought he had found a treasure.

"Don't use these abilities of yours without my permission in the future, you know? And don't expose it to anyone. No one can do it." Lu Buer still didn't get angry with the little girl after all. After all, if If it weren't for her blood, he might not be able to advance successfully.

 As for worrying about what is available and what is not, there is no point.

  It’s better to improve your strength as soon as possible and protect this girl.

 At present, he is already an evolver in the Second Glory Realm. After he has completely mastered the two spells at the current stage, his strength will reach another level.

 At that time, a cypress can be killed with one punch!

"knew."

Lu Sixian replied.

Lu Buer took out his dagger, pried away the piece of land stained with blood, and put it in his pocket: "Let's go, let's go home and eat in such a cold weather... You have to drink medicine after eating." , your brain damage should be much better after a few courses of treatment.”

"oh."

Lu Sixian responded expressionlessly, but felt relieved in her heart.

 Finally got through.

 In fact, she had no idea that her blood had this effect at the time.

 Even her parents don’t know.

As for her cat, it did survive by accidentally licking her blood.

  But she didn’t know why at the time. So much so that later on, these things were all forgotten.

 Ever since drinking the bowl of stinky medicine, she remembered many things. She only knew that she had so many abilities when she was tortured in the laboratory.

Also remembered who Annan was.

 But she didn’t say.

 Otherwise, given Lu Fuji's character, she would probably be prohibited from using any abilities because of her experience in the laboratory, in which case she would be useless.

 And Lu Sixian doesn’t want to be a useless person.

Linhai city center, the church is still so solemn and sacred at night. The golden wall lamps reflect the splendidness of the building, and the ancient icons stand like guards.

 The church echoed with the mass music played by the organ, as if praying for the dead.

Tonight, the City Safety Committee held a meeting, which mainly discussed the threat posed by the Cult of the Dead and how to stop the advance of the White Walkers, including how to go deep into the Holy Mountain to deal with the source of the disaster and other core issues.

 Huge gold crystals are suspended in the center of the church.

 Golden light illuminated the jade mask on the high priest's face.

Although the ritual of baptizing divine power was destroyed, she no longer had to bear the consumption of the Holy Light Barrier. She could still make people feel unfathomable just by relying on the remaining power in her body.

 “This is the current situation.”

The Speaker glanced at the holy silhouette sitting side by side with him on the right, and then turned to look at the senior officials: "I have checked the information left behind by the family and found no clues about the underground ruins. The only thing that is certain is that, That is indeed the place he used to study ghost magic. At present, we have sealed off the underground ruins and started researching the clues at the scene. "

 In the Akashic religion, there is a monarch whose name cannot be mentioned.

 Hence why we use the third person to refer to something.

"Over the years, the City Safety Committee has stopped interfering in many affairs in order to avoid suspicion, but I didn't expect that things would develop to this point. Now that we are facing the crisis of city collapse, I think we must stand up." After a pause, the Speaker said continued.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat after hearing this sentence.

 Because this sentence is overtly or covertly accusing the high priest of neglecting his duties.

 It was agreed upon to govern together, but if you insist on monopolizing power, then you can do it.

 If something like this happens, you are responsible.

Of course anyone with a discerning eye knows that this incident cannot all be blamed on the high priest.

 Because the high priest has only been in this city for a few years, she doesn't know many things at all. The most troublesome corpse-eating cult at present is obviously the mess in the Holy Mountain.

"you mean?"

The high priest didn't even bother to look at him sideways and said indifferently.

"The current situation in Linhai City is relatively stable. Please rest assured that the high priest can rest until he can perform the next ritual and replenish his divine power. We will clear out the zombie cultists in the city as quickly as possible. As for the frontline battlefields, there are already The battlefield will continue to advance until the White Walkers are pushed back a hundred kilometers, and then they will find a way to enter the land of the dead. "

The Speaker replied: "During this period, the Sacrifice Hall has enough time to prepare for the next ceremony. As for the specific affairs, it can be left to the City Safety Committee."

 I see, I’m waiting here.

Yuan Lie snorted coldly.

 Even as a person from the Sacrificial Sect, I can't find a suitable reason to refute at this time.

 On the contrary, Deputy Director General Mo nodded slightly and agreed.

 “No objection.”

 “No objection.”

 The senior executives expressed their approval.

Archbishop Reiner rolled his eyes, not wanting to get involved in this matter at all.

 Charles from the Law Enforcement Bureau also nodded slightly.

Even Longque frowned and said nothing.

Just when the vote was passed unanimously, the high priest said indifferently:

“Did you plan the attack on me?”

 She paused: "Arthur."

 Arthur, the name of Linhai City Speaker.

 Full name is Arthur Russell.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire cathedral fell into dead silence.

 Everyone was horrified.

　　Too strong.

This is the high priest, who brings things to the table with one sentence.

 Domineering and calm.

 It is hard to imagine how the speaker would feel when he heard this.

Although the Speaker will be the beneficiary to a certain extent after something happens to the High Priest, in the final analysis they all shoulder the mission of protecting the city, and big problems will arise if anyone dies.

 So no one can tell what the truth of this matter is.

Arthur was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Why did you say that?"

The high priest said indifferently: "When Constantine embarked on that path of rebellion, the Russell family was his number one loyal dog. Now that he is dead, you want to plunder yourself completely? In the underground ruins, They are all secret shelters left by him. You really don’t know that what the Corpse Cult wants is the White Walkers, and the strange movements in the Holy Mountain are also related to the White Walkers, and you are the people who are most closely connected with all of this. . You didn’t do anything on the surface, but you didn’t know it behind the scenes.”

“At this time you are jumping out and packaging yourself like a savior, so what can you do specifically?”

She dismissed this, paused and said, "It wasn't you who uncovered the Corpse Cult, and it wasn't you who made major breakthroughs on the front line."

Arthur listened quietly and did not refute.

“Now you have to stand up and take responsibility for the city.”

The high priest said indifferently: "How can I trust you?"

There are only two meanings in the words.

 First, I don’t trust you.

 Second, it is useless for you to stand up.

 Arthur seemed to be well prepared and answered calmly: "At least, we are clean. The Russell family has not been involved in the White Walkers and has no power to violate taboos."

 The senior executives seemed to have thought of something, and glanced at a person from the corner of their eyes.

 Long Que smoking a cigarette at the end of the long table.

 “Speaking of which, I’m also thinking about a question.”

Charles suddenly got angry: "Why did the Corpse Cult begin to be active in this city as soon as the Chief Dragon Bird came back, and there were also strange movements in the Land of the Past? If all of this is related to the White Walkers, then we have exactly the same thing here There is a person who masters the art of ghosts."

 Dead silence.

Longque exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly: "Are you coming towards me?"

 In fact, he had long expected that such a day would come.

After all, the city has never given him any trust, and many departments, including the City Safety Committee, also have old grudges with him. There is a high probability that the mastermind behind the Aoki incident will try their best to prevent him from continuing to investigate the case, but he has never I never thought this day would come so quickly.

  【Recommendation vote】

  【Monthly Pass】

I've had gastrointestinal discomfort in the past two days. It's late today and there's another update.
