Due to Wang Ruoxiang's words, a new light shone in the Spell Department's base.
Then the Zoog Lucky reported another good news, "They're here, they're here! The Crow worshippers are here! "
Even before Chen Jiahwa could sense it, the Zoogs at the base were boiling with excitement. They knew exactly what was going on. They could not even find a channel to Dreamlands, they could not escape even if they wanted to. They were in the same boat as the humans.
Not long after the Zoog's report, Zhou Haorui and Yang Xinxin returned from the entrance.
The group had been waiting for the Crow worshippers. They immediately invited them to the conference room where the core members were having a meeting.
"We already know what's going on." Once Zhou Haorui walked into the room, he brought an important report, "The Alliance of Living Will probably launch a second attack in a week's time. Their target should still be a major city."
"What's going on?" Lou Xiaoning asked hurriedly. Xiao Xu was also surprised by how detailed the timing was.
"We've been to New York." Zhou Haorui explained, "There is still a very strong dark energy lingering there. Qing Qing … Xinxin saw an illusion."
Yang Xinxin continued, "The so-called 'dark energy' is probably a kind of energy source, similar to electricity or oil. The thing that attacked New York should be a city of the Inhumans. I saw a lot of buildings and streets on it. The Inhumans have mastered the Space Leap technology, but every time they jump, they expend a lot of Dark Kinetic Energy. However, a single Inhuman only needs to open a small crack in space, so the consumption is relatively small. However, they can't go anywhere they want. They're jumping from the fortress city. That's why the Inhumans could suddenly disappear. They must have returned to the fortress city. I didn't see how they invaded the fortress city again, but I'm sure that every jump from the fortress city consumes a lot of Dark Kinetic Energy. That's their money. "
As the crowd listened, they frowned in thought. That was a little understandable now …
"Do you know how the dark energy is replenished?" Xiao Xu asked.
"I saw a place that looked like an altar. Many inhumans were performing a sacrificial ritual to a black rock." Yang Xinxin continued, "Don't listen to the extravagant descriptions of the Mutants. They are still attached to a dark force, and through the acquisition of power, they strengthen themselves. It's just that they call this dark force their life instinct. Their sacrifice is chaos, carnage and revelry, I will not say the scene, very that. After that, the black rock will generate kinetic energy, which should be their technological core. The dark kinetic energy will then move those machines, including the entire city and those flying cars. "
Everyone once again thought of the Black Pharaoh. This kind of dark energy, dark technology …
Chaos. Nyarlathotep loved chaos.
"Why New York? Not Da Hua? "Xiao Xu asked again." This is not in the best interest of the enemy. "
"We haven't figured it out yet." Zhou Haorui said, "It's possible that New York has been set up by them, and some kind of connection has been formed. The Inhuman city's teleportation shouldn't be unlimited. Besides, there might be another force guarding our side. We've always had this feeling that it's that black cat."
Black cat? What other black cat could it be? Everyone in the meeting room knew it was Wu Shiyu.
After the battle at the Pyramid of Nastassen, Wu Shiyu still had not shown up, so no one knew whether she was still in this world or not.
At that moment, Lucky, who was also in the meeting room, slapped his thigh when he heard that. He signed with his paws, "Like I said, we Zoogs can sniff out Dirty-minded Yu at the restaurant but we can't find her. The chicken drumsticks are still there. This is strange, has she stopped eating chicken drumsticks after becoming a cat? She now has the power of those Ulthar cats. Ulthar cats are very sneaky. Don't keep saying we Zoogs are sneaky, that is a misunderstanding — no matter how sneaky we are, the Ulthar cats will know, but we can't see them! Perhaps Dirty-minded Yu is even eavesdropping on us. "
Lou Xiaoning looked around. She was not sure if Wu Siyu was hiding in the empty corner or somewhere else.
After all, the guy could teleport with others.
But for now, they had no way of knowing what was going on.
"Humanity still has a chance." Zhou Haorui said confidently, "The crow said before, the future of this world depends on us, not those inhumans." Yang Xinxin also nodded, "That crow has always been ridiculous when it comes to money, but everything else he says is pretty reliable."
The confidence of the two crow believers boosted the confidence of the Phecda members.
But Xiao Xu still did not understand, "Why are you so sure the attack will be in one week?"
"Because in the illusion, I saw a countdown on the surface of the Blackstone Engine." Yang Xinxin answered, "When I saw it, it said there was only one week left. But the rest is just a guess, it's just a possibility. Perhaps after the countdown is over, they will be able to teleport again. I don't know whether they have a way to speed it up, like through more sacrifices? I can't tell whether the illusion happened in real time or not. The illusion fragments are messy, it's not surprising that it happened a few days ago, so it's entirely possible that the enemy will launch a second attack tomorrow. "
This was not good news. Everyone's mood sank. Xiao Xu asked, "How many cities like that do you think the inhumans have?"
According to the information from Mysterium World, the inhuman city that appeared in Miru was different from the one that appeared in New York.
"I have no idea." Zhou Haorui's serious expression was convincing, and he was no longer a normal university student. "But I think this speculation has helped them achieve their goal. They might only have one or two cities, but they want us to think that there are countless of them. They have been spreading fear and pain to break our will and the will of the world. So my opinion is, there is no need to speculate. If there is one, then there is one. If there are two, then there are two. "
At that moment, the conference room door was pushed open. Wang Ruoxiang rushed in from outside. She had rushed back from the treatment point. Her face was filled with determination.
After hearing the new information from Xiao Xu, she said instantly, "There won't be many. No matter how many they say, there won't be many. I've interacted with their dark power before, so I know better what kind of existence they are. The Life Consciousness Alliance is the opposite of the Society of Negative Choice and the Yith Race. They are not a community of consciousness and the rule they follow is based on the difference between the strong and the weak. One strong person is the existence of an entire civilization. "
One strong person is the existence of an entire civilization? Everyone seemed to understand. Xiao Xu understood Wang Ruoxiang's meaning once he heard that.
"You're right." He nodded. "Now I believe they only have one city. The reason they appear different in Mysterium World is because they purposely changed their appearance."
"Why?" Lou Xiaoning was confused. She asked urgently, "Why do you think so?"
The difference between having one city and having a hundred or a thousand such cities was too great.
"Based on their philosophy." Wang Ruoxiang explained in detail, "They believe in 'strength is everything', the strongest has absolute power. That way, it doesn't matter if there are more than 100, 1 million or 10 trillion inhumans, the throne will always have one inhuman and its consciousness is the Life Consciousness.
This kind of social structure, coupled with the fact that they were constantly killing each other — many new mutants were like this, and in New York and Millard, there were mutants suddenly fighting each other to the death due to conflicts. Video footage could prove that there were also mutant corpses found in the ruins. With their violent nature, they would only fight even more fiercely. They needed to interact with darkness and consume it to grow stronger. This was how they unleashed their 'life instinct'. This kind of society, no matter how much they pillaged, they would not grow. Their population would not be high because those that were would be killed; their cities would not be many either because only one city represented the strongest or else two cities would fight each other. They did not reproduce and did not have families. Those were all considered to be restraints. This kind of civilization could only rely on plundering to replenish its population, replacing batches after batches, dying batches after batches, just to produce the strongest. The strongest was constantly challenged by those below, and if they lost, they would also die.
We all know now that the Life Consciousness Alliance is not a native organization of our world but an invader. If our world is destroyed by them, they will not stay and will only continue to go to another world and continue another round of destruction. "
"If your guess is right …" Lou Xiaoning understood now. "Then they really know how to create fear."
But the problem was that even if the other party really only had that super sci-fi city, human civilization did not seem to have enough power to defeat it.
Therefore, although these guesses were good news, everyone was still solemn. They were still facing a great enemy.
Wang Ruoxiang thought and said, "They must be creating panic. This world is very big. If we calculate the speed at which they destroy a city in a week, to completely destroy our civilization, it will not take ten years. But people will panic, New York has already started to panic. If the latent inhumans enter the darkness, if the hemoptysis occurs … This world will be destroyed by us sooner. "
She frowned and said solemnly, "Gu Jun and Crow both said that we cannot let this world's pain worsen. We must find a way to cure the latent inhumans, stop their mutation and let them survive even if the mutation fails. They say this is a kind of disease, so we must save them. "
Chen Jiahwa nodded silently. Zhou Haorui also nodded. "That might be our chance."
"The problem is how to cure it. What's with the sacrifice to Crow?" Lou Xiaoning asked the two Crow believers. "Can it cure the Inhuman Disease?"
"I'm afraid not. Distant water can't put out a nearby fire." Zhou Haorui's words made their hearts sink, "What the crow wants is health. To offer sacrifices to the crow, it is not to offer healthy people to it, but to let it taste the joy of a patient recovering to health, the energy of life being rejuvenated. In fact, to put it simply, through a specific ceremony, we treat the patient and let it know. In this way, we, the crow believers, can gain greater power."
Now they understood why distant water can't put out a nearby fire. "Only Crow believers can strengthen themselves like this?" Xiao Xu asked.
"Probably." Zhou Haorui was not entirely sure. "At least, it has to be someone who is related to Crow."
When Xiao Xu heard this, he immediately tapped on the laptop on the conference table and made a new dispatch to the command center. He immediately gathered all the medical personnel who were related to Gu Jun, including his classmates, Sun Yuheng and the rest, especially those who could participate in surgery. They could offer sacrifices to Crow.
"If I didn't misunderstand." Xiao Xu said, "Surgery is the fastest way to complete the sacrifice. Because a successful surgery is a success, a failure is a failure. Whether or not the patient will recover after the surgery, Crow knows better than we do."
"Yes, you didn't misunderstand." Zhou Haorui nodded. "That's right. We also choose to do surgery, but … it's not the same as the modern one."
Everyone had seen those rusty knives and branding irons in the hands of the crows …
Of course, those were not modern surgical instruments, but they were once used in the history of human surgery. They had been used much longer than the modern ones.
"Who did you perform the surgery for?" Xiao Xu asked.
"For those souls who haven't been able to rest in peace." Yang Xinxin sighed. "And it's free."
"Hey, you can use this to strengthen yourself." Lou Xiaoning looked at the two of them, her remaining left eye slightly narrowed. "Strictly speaking, you are also Inhumans. You can grow crow wings, but what about your society? Do you respect strength as well? "
That was indeed the case, but the Crow worshipers worshiped crows.
Chen Jiahwa could tell that Captain Lou meant no harm. He just wanted to hear it from the Crow worshipers. He was also curious. Ever since the crow mark appeared on his right wrist, he did not feel like he was being corrupted by darkness.
"Sigh, what do you mean respect? I wish money was everything." Yang Xinxin could not stop talking about money. "But they don't agree."
"Crows hate sickness." Zhou Haorui said seriously. "That is our philosophy."
"That's not bad …" Wang Ruoxiang said. "I also hate sickness." Lou Xiaoning did not press for more details. She had faith in the Crow worshipers.
"Other than that, we have another discovery." Zhou Haorui added. That made everyone anxious. Why couldn't he just tell them everything in one go? "The Alliance of Living Will, other than the Black Pharaoh, they might be related to the foreign world and the black goat." Crow had taught the other crows many of the known information.
When the group heard about the foreign world, they were shocked but not too surprised. After all, the shadow of the foreign world had not faded over the past few years.
"This is another discovery I made from the illusion. Can I add more money?" Yang Xinxin said, "I saw a statue of the Dark Life Goddess next to the black rock."
'Dark Life Goddess?' Everyone understood it instantly.
Based on the information they had on the foreign world, the foreign people worshipped the Goddess of Life because she possessed the power of light.
But after the foreign world was ravaged by the Necro-skins and hemoptysis, especially after Carlott College was reduced to rubble, some of the foreign people established a new religion, the Dark Life Goddess, which should be the Black Goat of the Forest. They said the Dark Life Goddess was the real Goddess of Life, and the so-called power of light was twisted by Carlott College. In reality, there was never a Dark Life Goddess. Doctor Carlop had been lying to the world.
The Society of Negative Choice, its source of power was the Dark Life Goddess.
Was the Society of Positive Choice also the same? But then there was the addition of Nyarlathotep's malicious intent …
'The foreign world, the foreign world …'
In the end, the foreign world was not ruled by the Society of Negative Choice or the Lai Sheng Society. In the end, the foreign world seemed to have disappeared. Even the Son of Misfortune was sealed away, waiting for his believers to reawaken him in another world. Could it be the Black Pharaoh of the foreign world who sealed him away?
Could it be the Alliance of Life Will that destroyed the foreign world?
Many new questions rushed into everyone's mind. Wang Ruoxiang, Xiao Xu and Chen Jiahwa were silent. Lou Xiaoning said through gritted teeth, "Isn't this good news as well? An old enemy is easier to deal with than a new one. At least we are no longer in the dark."
She was right, but Lucky's next piece of good news cheered them up.
Lucky did not leave the conference room but he received the Zoog's message through the vibrations. He slapped the table happily, "She's here, she's here, Ximei is back! Peacock and Malachite are back as well! "
Feng Peiqian and the rest of the Mysterium members were fighting for their home world at the Mysterium World. Even Peacock and Malachite had left. After Crow was sealed, Deng Ximei went into seclusion. Now was the time when they needed her.
She was once a Spirit Child of the Lai Sheng Society. Among them, she had the strongest and most direct connection to the foreign world.
