"This? Isn't that inappropriate? "
Bai Xinyan did not refuse. She was just puzzled.
Regardless of how Luo Nan managed to deal with the encirclement and interception of true gods for over two minutes, it was easy to imagine that the area where the two sides wrestled was not on the material plane. On the mental plane, it was undoubtedly the Abyss Region.
The Mimicry Map Generator produced a Mimicry Map of the Mental Sea. As its name implied, it could only be used in the Mental Sea. There was an insurmountable distance between it and the main battlefield in the Abyss Region.
Moreover, this was just a simulator. The lag was quite strong. It was not suitable for use in actual combat.
The Pope of Chiji did not speak again. He just used the puppet Scarlet Eye to cut across Bai Xinyan's face. Bai Xinyan was not going to be stubborn about this issue. She shrugged, bent over, and placed the suitcase back on the seat. She opened the suitcase, turned it on, and connected it to the projector. It was certainly not as effective as the one on Eishuke Yukawa's private airship, but the dense bubble scene still appeared.
Bai Xinyan swept her eyes over the various parameters displayed in the projection area. She spoke truthfully, "The debugging will take some time."
There was another part of her that she did not say. Perhaps this high-level interception battle would have ended before the debugging was completed.
The Pope of Chiji still did not speak. The puppet that carried his consciousness even narrowed its eyes. It looked like it was taking a nap. Of course, it was more likely that it was sensing the situation of the battle outside the airship.
Bai Xinyan's communication was fruitless. She could only settle her mind and proceed with the debugging process bit by bit.
But just as she said, this was not a problem that could be solved in a minute or two. On the other hand, the curtain of intense light outside the airship grew more and more intense. Faint rumbling sounds of thunder could be heard. At first, it sounded like it was hundreds of kilometers away, but in the blink of an eye, it was within reach. It shook the airship's window until it hummed. It seemed as if it would collapse and disintegrate in the next moment.
"It's been over three minutes."
Bai Xinyan paid more attention to the battle outside. At first glance, the momentum of this battle was astonishing, but in fact, in terms of intensity, it was far from the strongest. The rhythm of the explosions was intermittent, and there was a high probability that it was a chase, but once the chase started, it would be endless!
Was there a limit to being a true god? Or was Luo Nan too cunning?
Or perhaps...
"You haven't finished debugging yet?" The one who spoke was Kitano Sukuto. The head bodyguard walked over quietly and spoke in a low voice. His original tough and professional demeanor was almost gone.
Without the hint from the Pope of Hyakonji, Kitano Sutoto would not have come here just to investigate. After all, it was just a matter of opening his mouth. Did the Pope of Hyakonji need to put on airs like this?
Bai Xinyan's drifting consciousness came back. She turned around to see what was going on. However, Kitano Sukito happened to block her line of sight. She could only exchange glances with Kitano Sukito and shake her head slightly, signaling him to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
At this time, the cries from the business class and economy class had vaguely spread to the upper deck. Along with the shapeless corpses and unconscious and limp bodies, it looked like a scene from the end of the world.
"The collective emotional state is in a mess, and the spiritual sea is in chaos. The changes are too intense. Moreover, the computing power of a portable instrument is difficult to support the speed and precision of analysis at the same time … It's not suitable for actual combat. "
This was said to Kitano Sutoto, but it was also an explanation for the Pope of Hakuji.
"I'll bring it over."
"Huh?"
Bai Xinyan did not understand at first. Kitano Sutoto's eyelids drooped, and his eyes were almost invisible, but his movements were direct and clear. He reached out and picked up the "Mimicry Generator" that was still in a state of adjustment. He held it up respectfully, turned around, and took two steps to present it to the Pope.
At this time, Bai Xinyan finally saw the current state of the Pope of Hakuji.
The puppet that he had possessed was sitting in a somewhat casual posture. His legs were spread wide, his elbows on his knees, and his upper body was supported. However, the curve of his back was still bent, and his head was also drooping. His right hand naturally clasped his left wrist, and his fingertips tapped unconsciously on his wrist. He looked like he was thinking, but also looked a little tired.
As for the "Mimicry Generator" that was already in his hand, he did not pay attention to it immediately. He still maintained his posture, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Compared to the image of a god and its spokesperson that could not be looked at directly and could not be communicated with, this kind of behavior that was similar to a real life was more or less a buffer for the fragile hearts of the surrounding bodyguards.
Therefore, probably because of Kitano Sutoto's arrangement, the bodyguards began to work. They were trying to settle Yukawa Eisuke and Yamashita Xia Hui, who were stacked together at the feet of the Pope of Hakuji.
At present, they had already carried Yukawa Eisuke away and placed him on the front row seat. They were about to carry Yamashita Xia Hui away when the tip of a polished leather boot suddenly tapped on his side shoulder.
The leather boot belonged to the Pope of Hakuji … Puppet.
"Stop."
Kitano Sutoto, who was still holding the "Mimicry Generator," reacted quickly and called for it to stop immediately.
Everyone's movements froze for a moment.
Only the Pope of Hakuji controlled the puppet to extend its hand and use it to replace the tip of the boot to press on Yamashita Xia Hui's shoulder.
Bai Xinyan narrowed her eyes. Although the entire process was not long, she could see, and the others could also see, that the Pope puppet's fingertip was clearly trembling. Even when it pressed on Yamashita Xia Hui's shoulder, it only calmed down a little.
She roughly understood why the Pope of Hakuji was "putting on airs."
For an Extraordinary, high-intensity output from more than 1,400 kilometers away was not that easy to deal with.
Without a solid fulcrum, the puppet had strength but was unable to use it. It also needed to perform micro-manipulation to avoid bursting the "small water pipe." From this, it could be seen that the majority of the Pope of Hakuji's energy was consumed on this … … Even so, the problem of "accelerated depreciation" was unavoidable.
The puppet's outstretched hand maintained a pressing posture on Yamashita Xia Hui's shoulder for over ten seconds. During this time, the puppet's skin was clearly red. Fine sweat seeped out of its pores, and there were even faint specks of blood. It was only because the puppet had a "drunken" appearance that it was not overly eye-catching.
But even with such strength, Yamashita Xia Hui didn't show any reaction … …
This technique!
Bai Xinyan lowered her eyes.
She made a hypothesis based on this: If the Pope of Hakuji had the support of a B-rank psychic like Yamashita Xia Hui, then the Pope of Hakuji would certainly be much more relaxed than he was right now. But Yamashita Xia Hui had fainted, and he seemed to be quite heavy … … It was hard to say who would be at a disadvantage if they were to fight a protracted battle like this.
Tsk tsk. Luo Nan's grasp of the situation and his control of the details was much more experienced than imagined. It was as if he was exchanging blows with Extraordinaries from time to time.
Where did he accumulate this experience and insight from?
At this time, Bai Xinyan heard the puppet's breathing. It was as if there was a tube of iron sand in its throat, making a rustling sound.
She relied on her many years of experience in researching the human body. Her first judgment was that Xia Hui had developed severe symptoms of laryngeal edema. Eliminating the cause of infection, his heart and kidney functions were most likely abnormal … … Under the strong pressure, the internal organs of the human body had suffered irreversible damage, and the damage was continuing to worsen. There was no possibility of relief.
Bai Xinyan was able to discern so much information due to her personal ability level. The others didn't have this ability. They could only passively wait. In particular, the bodyguard who was preparing to move Yamashita Xia Hui maintained a half-squatting posture. He didn't dare to move.
He waited for over ten seconds, and all he got was the Pope Puppet's sigh. He felt a dry sensation suddenly press against the top of his head.
He seemed to hear a cry of alarm, or perhaps it was the sound of the explosion outside the window. Then … … it was meaningless to him.
All sounds in the first-class cabin disappeared. The Pope Puppet's sigh also disappeared. At the same time, the symptoms of laryngeal edema also disappeared. At the very least, it was temporarily alleviated. The price was the bodyguard who had fallen onto Yamashita Xia Hui.
That person's skin and flesh were already limp. There was no breath left. The way he died was no different from the Maekawa Vice Minister of Affairs.
The surrounding bodyguards all had deathly pale faces. As full-time members of the Yuchuan Family, they had seen quite a few situations of 'internal handling'. But this kind of situation where they were treated as a 'power bank' was truly unprecedented.
The important question was, whose turn would it be next?
The hearts of the people were in turmoil, but now was not the time to pacify them.
Whether it was Bai Xinyan or Kitano Sukito, neither of them cared about these things. From their perspective, what they needed to pay more attention to was the new clear instructions the Pope of Hundred Gatherings made after helping the puppet catch its breath.
The hand that had just reaped a life flipped over. Its palm faced upwards, and it hooked its finger.
Kitano Sukito's reaction was maintained at a high standard. He bent down again and, with absolute respect, handed over the 'Mimicry Generator'.
It was also at this time that he saw a cluster of greenish-black veins appear on the palm. It looked like the expanding capillaries under the skin, but it was more like the shadow of a tree with branches growing horizontally. Within the dark veins, there was clearly light flowing, filled with a different kind of vitality. But just thinking about its most likely source made one shudder.
Kitano Sukito instinctively wanted to keep his distance from the Pope Puppet. He wanted to retreat after completing his task. But the latter had no intention of taking over. Perhaps it felt that the distance and height were just right, so it simply used Kitano Sukito as a table. It stretched its hand over the control area of the device and began to operate it.
Huh?
Kitano Sukito's pupils dilated as he watched the Pope Puppet's fingertips switch back and forth between the virtual interface and the physical buttons. Especially with the appearance of a business elite, he looked quite professional when he did such actions.
But as long as one thought about the true identity, status, and image of the Pope, there was an element of absurdity in it.
And as the Pope Puppet operated, the "Mimicry Image of the Spiritual Sea" in the projection area connected to the device began to change repeatedly. The colorful "water droplets" constantly adjusted the angle of presentation, and at the same time, the colors quickly faded, forming a general grayish-white base tone.
Kitano Sukito did not quite understand what this change meant. He subconsciously turned to look at Bai Xinyan, but he saw that Bai Xinyan's gaze had drifted to Yukawa Eishuke, who had just been seated in the front row.
Bai Xinyan also noticed Kitano Sukito's gaze, but she had no intention of explaining. She moved her gaze away from Yukawa Eishuke and switched back and forth between the device and the projection area.
She knew, and she had even explained to Yukawa Eishuke earlier, that this kind of change was a result of the repetitive spiritual waves in the surrounding area and the changes that had already become a routine. It was presented as the regular 'background radiation'. This was also a sign that the initial analysis of the Mimicry Picture had been completed.
Last time in Osaka, Bai Xinyan had spent at least twenty minutes to achieve this step. Even if the sensing range was wider this time, and the processing of more data … … the difference was too obvious in comparison.
Bai Xinyan could confirm that this device was directly sent over from the Deep Blue World. It was a product of the laboratory, and it had not been put into the market. Perhaps this was the only one on Earth.
Then, where did the super operating ability of the Pope of the Hundred Collections come from?
Was it born with knowledge?
Such thoughts could be written into the scriptures of the church, but in the real world, it was better to use reasoning. From the simple background of the device, if the problem was not in the application or the circulation, then the problem could only be in the research and development stage.
According to her understanding, the Apocalypse Laboratory had obtained inspiration from Luo Nan's Cage Theory to develop this device. They hoped to use it as a key tool to break the barriers that ordinary people had to the spiritual plane. They wanted to make it into a commercial hit and lay the foundation for the next step of their grand plan.
The so-called return on investment, the small profit operation, and the like were just excuses to deal with investors like Yukawa Eishuke.
As for what the grand plan was, Bai Xinyan did not know the full picture. She only heard that the laboratory attached great importance to it, and that even Li Wei was deeply involved in the research and development. But now it seemed that Li Wei was not the only one participating in the research and development.
The relationship between the Apocalypse Laboratory and the Amaterasu Order was no longer concealed … … Yukawa Eishuke had indeed played the worst trick.
"Focus!" A low and hoarse voice flowed out from the throat of the Pope Puppet. It was directed at Bai Xinyan.
"… … Your Majesty?"
"You'll be the one operating from now on. Make sure that the interface is maintained on this baseline." The Pope Puppet did not even raise its head. The arrangement was a matter of course. The slight loss of voice at the end proved that the organ tissue of the throat had not completely recovered. It was impossible for it to recover. It was only a matter of time before it collapsed.
Perhaps it was because of this that the Pope of the Hundred Collections did not play any tricks. She spoke very clearly.
"Qianju exerts force through the abyss region. Distance isn't a problem, but it is very difficult to accurately lock onto Luo Nan.
"Luo Nan previously reversed sealed the magatama configuration and Xia Hui on the back of the mountain, cutting off our path of descent. His methods are brilliant, but it is hard to avoid revealing traces.
"We have grabbed onto a piece of his tail, but it is too insubstantial. It jumps back and forth between the material plane and the mental plane. Qianju probed down from the abyss region to the material plane, causing a large loss in precision. He needs me to act as the signal tower's relay gain. Only then can he encircle and intercept Luo Nan.
"Luo Nan knows all of this. He will most likely do something."
The Pope of the Hundred Collections operated the apparatus as she explained. In this way, Bai Xinyan had a clear understanding of the distorted bubbles of colorful light that gradually grew on the ash-gray background.
Frankly speaking, it was a nesting doll structure.
The innermost layer of the bubble was the signal tower of the Pope Puppet. It appeared weak and fleeting, as if it could collapse at any time.
The middle layer warped and fluctuated, flickering indefinitely. Specks of light would appear from time to time, but they did not form a shape. This was most likely the impact of the battle between the two sides. The details were no longer something that the mimicry diagram could analyze.
The outermost layer was supported by a bubble. This bubble was much more stable, forming a boundary that was not a boundary. Perhaps … … this was the control domain of a true god's extraordinary power?
Of course, everything displayed here was just a mimicry on the mental sea plane. Let's not talk about accuracy. In essence, it was just the area swept by the aftermath.
The main battlefield between Luo Nan and a true god was still the abyss region.
"Understand?"
"His Majesty is using … … himself as bait?"
Bai Xinyan was just being polite. The Pope had only used a pious believer puppet. It was not even an ability user. How could it be considered bait?
If Luo Nan really wanted to pull the firewood out from the bottom of the cauldron, then the true unlucky ones would be them, the passengers of the airship, if there was a slight deviation in the application of power!
However, this possibility was meaningless to the Pope of the Hundred Collections. What he paid attention to was on a completely different level than the others. The puppet raised its head and stared at Bai Xinyan with its scarlet eyes.
"Protect the apparatus. Collect data. If Qianju is unable to obtain the results of the battle, this place needs to be maintained for … … at least 200 seconds. The mimicry generator will transmit the data to the laboratory's cloud. We need to clearly see his foundation. We need to clearly see what he's hiding behind his back! "
"... Yes."
Bai Xinyan agreed. But she had a feeling that the Pope of the Hundred Collections was not talking to her. Instead, he was shouting at Luo Nan, whose whereabouts were unknown within the boundless clouds.
It was like a threat, but it was also like a lure.
