Trafford’s Trading Club

The war between Britain and France lasted for more than a hundred years. [Night Watch] has also experienced this... but as a king from a much older era, he is not very interested in this kind of killing of each other between human races.

If I remember correctly, he happened to be in the Far East during that time, partly to avoid the war, and partly to find the legendary elixir in the Far East.

But he had the right to live forever because he made a wish to the magic lamp... So what about Xie Jiatu?

Of course he wouldn't have made a wish to the magic lamp... How did he achieve immortality? At this time, even though the [Night Watcher] was not interested in what Xie Jiatu wanted to do behind his back, he was slightly moved by the fact that Xie Jiatu could survive until now.

"You have survived for such a long time." [Night Watcher] shook his head: "Actually, a hundred years is enough for a person to forget many things. As for hundreds of years, even hatred will have long since decayed... …But you still seem persistent.”

"Let me tell you a story." High Priest Xie Jiatu waved his hand at this time.

On the metal wall behind him, a dozen grids suddenly cracked open. From among these grids, a drone the size of a washbasin slowly flew out.

They projected the laser light through the transparent reinforced glass wall. At the moment when the laser light converged, some images unfolded in front of the [Night Watcher].

A quiet mountain village slowly unfolded in front of the [Night Watchman].

The voice of the high priest also sounded at this time: "This is the place where I was born...a peaceful town in the Kingdom of France. As you know, I was born in that era of war."

Suddenly, flames shot into the sky, and the quiet town was dyed red. The flames of war began to devour all the houses, roads... and people here.

Among the ruins, a ten-year-old child was walking with difficulty on the streets of the burnt-black town, carrying a little girl who was even smaller than him.

The child was barefoot, and his feet had long been burned by the hot earth... Finally, his strength was exhausted, and he fell to the ground.

"This is me." The high priest pointed at the child who fell on the ground and said slowly, "Do you feel it?"

[Night Watchman] said calmly: "It's quite pitiful, but since he lives in an era of war, obviously he is not the only one who will encounter tragic things."

"I guess you would say so." The high priest smiled at this time and looked at the child in the image. "Obviously, I didn't think so at the time. For a child who has lost all his relatives, , his only thought at that time was hatred for the entire world."

[Nightwatchman] glanced at the high priest, "Now?"

"There is nothing wrong." The high priest said calmly: "The process of human civilization has always been accompanied by war and blood... The arrival of this misfortune can only be said that I did not have enough ability to protect my family at that time... or even... I will die at any time. So all my anger and hatred at that time were lost to the rage of incompetence."

[Night Watchman] said without salt or lightly: "For this child, don't you think your view is too harsh?"

"He needs to recognize this fact clearly." The high priest smiled and said: "Recognize it clearly, that is, even if he treats life gently, life will not show mercy to him."

"So?" [Night Watcher] frowned, "Are you planning to take revenge on life... on the world?"

The high priest shook his head: "I said, there is nothing wrong with this. At that time, I was so small, that's why I had hatred... But obviously not now, because as long as I want, I even have the ability to The ability to change the entire world.”

[Night Watcher] immediately sneered: "With this place? Oh... Or, with your method of replicating humans?"

"I call it [The Scale of Good and Evil]." The high priest said slowly: "I did not copy anyone, I just separated the good and evil in people."

"[The Scale of Good and Evil]?" [The Night Watchman] couldn't help but frowned, vaguely seeming to think of something, "You mean, Ma'at's... the Scale of Good and Evil?"

The high priest smiled slightly and said: "I think you will think of it immediately. After all, it is the king of the Seventh Dynasty... But unfortunately, it is not the same as the legendary [Ma'at's Scale of Good and Evil] that you know. There are still some differences.”

The [Night Watcher] looked at the drones suspiciously. The drones began to change to another set of images.

In the image, a young man appeared. His appearance was similar to that of the little boy in the flames of war before. He was also very similar to the face of the high priest standing in front of him now. This was Xie Jiatu in his youth.

The young Xie Jiatu was currently in a desert... The oasis was where the Oasis Temple was located.

"I found this scale here." The high priest's voice echoed in the empty room, "I touched it, and it completely separated my good thoughts and bad intentions... Then, I became two , and at the same time my soul also gained eternal life.”

The [Night Watchman] frowned deeper. He was trying to use what he had seen and heard in his long life to understand what the high priest said... to determine the authenticity of this matter.

"Who is the person standing here now?" [The Night Watchman] suddenly asked.

"If I said I was kind, would you believe me." The high priest smiled at this time and said: "You might assume that I am not the kind one, but the one disguised as malicious. So who am I? What matters is why I told you this."

"Oh?" [Night Watchman] raised his eyebrows.

The high priest spread his hands and said: "I am doing a great experiment... I want to invite you to complete this experiment with me. In a long time, you are the only most special human being I have encountered! You have a long Life, your knowledge is extremely rich, and you have a strong body. You are fully capable of becoming the best assistant in this long experiment. Of course, this decision was made after you received the invitation letter to explore the Oasis Temple and I discovered you. The secret begins... Don’t you think this is a destined thing? At first, I just wanted some outstanding scholars, but I didn’t expect you to be among these scholars.”

[Nightwatchman] shook his head, obviously quite helpless about this matter. But the words of the high priest made some things that he could not figure out before begin to become coherent.

As early as half a year ago, after he received a mysterious invitation letter from an investor, he had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart. But he himself had been exploring the mysterious power for a certain purpose in his heart.

More than half a year ago, an entire archaeological team, after going through several hardships, finally arrived at the Oasis Temple. This temple has never appeared in the text of human history.

They almost went crazy and rushed into the temple...the beginning of all this.

[Night Watcher] Thinking of this, he suddenly looked back and glanced behind the gate. At this time, he peeked his head furtively and saw that the scholars who had entered the temple by Iben looked like Iben now.

They forgot everything and turned into puppets. They have been deep in the temple, engaged in various researches, and even himself was copied by the high priest in strange ways. .

It's just that he is special after all...a human being who has no special abilities except immortality.

His wealth of knowledge and experience allowed him to escape. Since then, he has been hiding in the City of the Sun, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Iben...that is, Aria, lost his memory because of his lack of knowledge, and was thrown into the City of the Sun to fend for himself.

The entire City of the Sun is actually under the surveillance of the High Priest. Everywhere in the City of the Sun is equipped with surveillance cameras, and there are even drones disguised as birds in the sky.

The entire City of the Sun is like a huge experimental field. Except for the high priest himself, everyone living here is probably a part of his experiment.

After thinking about this, [Night Watcher]...the real Mr. Otto, if he said that there was no disturbance in his heart, it was naturally untrue. He even began to be shocked by the other party's ability to act!

As a human being who has gained immortality, compared with what the high priest Xie Jiatu has done, Mr. Otto suddenly realizes that he really looks like a salted fish?

"What is the experiment you are talking about?" After a long silence, [Night Watcher] finally went straight to the subject. Living a long life, as he gets older, many times he is not willing to understand the process of something at all. .

"I discovered that there is a soul in this magical scale." The high priest Xie Jiatu said with a vague and eager look at this time: "I can feel the power of this soul in the scale... It is the master of the scale, and it has everything that humans have. Unimaginable power! But it is incomplete, so it has always been dormant... I want to complete this incomplete soul!"

"Complete the soul?!" [Night Watcher] was slightly surprised.

The theory of the soul has been a huge mystery that cannot be solved since ancient times, whether it is the West and ancient Egypt where he has stayed, or the Far East where he has traveled!

"How to make up for it?" [Night Watcher] couldn't help but ask directly. Even though he looked so stupid when he asked the question... He even felt his own stupidity, but he still couldn't help it. Some kind of thirst for knowledge is just around the corner.

A long time has made his knowledge rich enough to eclipse even the best scholars in the world. But even so, there are still many things in the world that he cannot solve... The doctrine of the soul is obviously one of them. one.

If the soul can be completed...if the soul can be programmed...

Resurrect...resurrect her!

The [Night Watchman]'s gaze instantly resembled that of a wild beast, which was extremely aggressive... The high priest seemed to feel the obsession in the eyes of the real Mr. Otto, and couldn't help but frown: "Otto, it seems that you have There are more stories than I know so far... I am really becoming more and more interested in you!"

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly...how do you plan to complete a broken soul?" [Nightwatchman] Otto asked in a deep voice.

The high priest said seriously: "It's very simple, just create a perfect enough shell, and then use it as the residence of this incomplete soul! This shell is enough to make up for the incomplete part of this soul... When this perfect shell is completed, it will be this incomplete soul When you wake up."

The [Night Watcher] couldn't help but frown. He thought deeply about the high priest's words... but the enthusiasm in his eyes gradually cooled down.

He shook his head, "I don't know how you came up with this method, or where you got the inspiration... but I don't think this method is feasible."

The high priest frowned.

[Night Watchman] said calmly: "In the Far East, there is a kind of medicine called resurrecting the soul through the corpse. The general meaning is that a dead soul is attached to another dead person, and then the other dead person He was resurrected... Question: Who is this resurrected person?"

The high priest said without thinking: "His soul is the first person to die, and his mind is also the first person to die. I think, therefore I am... He is naturally the first. No matter how his appearance changes, Only the inner remains unchanged.”

[Nightwatchman] took a deep look at the high priest: "Then, in the years to come, the first person can only survive as the second person. Because he has the appearance of the second person, and has are all blood relationships belonging to the second person. So tell me, who is he?"

"He knows it himself," the high priest snorted coldly.

"Only he knows it clearly." [Night Watchman] shook his head and glanced at the high priest casually: "You don't know either."

"You are wrong." The high priest smiled and said: "What I care about is not which one it is. The point is that if the experiment itself is resurrected, it can prove that what I did is not wrong. This will It is the greatest discovery ever made by mankind."

"But these are not what I need." [Night Watcher] shook his head: "What I need is a certain, real, and only soul."

He and the high priest looked at each other...confronted.

After a long time, the high priest breathed out: "I always make some last-ditch efforts, but often these efforts are in vain... Otto, how I hope you can understand me."

[Nightwatchman] didn't speak... The good conversation was almost over here. He concentrated, tensed up, and then raised the carbon fiber black knife in his hand. I'm afraid the rest of his life would not be easy.

Usually at this point, there is probably only one outcome left.

"Don't worry, I never kill anyone." The high priest shook his head: "I hate to let a life disappear...but you will not know who you are for a long time, and you will become the nutrient for the growth of this shell."

Having said that, the high priest clapped his hands directly... The surrounding metal walls suddenly cracked piece by piece, and only white-robed guards could be seen one by one, slowly walking out from these cracked entrances.

They were approaching [Night Watcher] Otto step by step... At the same time, their bodies also began to undergo some strange changes, as if something was about to burst out of their bodies.
