The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly. This year's summer temperature wasn't particularly hot, or it could be said that this year's spring didn't end so easily. In this type of island country, the change of seasons was more gentle compared to inland countries. Even if you were walking on the road, you wouldn't sweat because of the heat.
Of course, it could also be because Pandora and Weska were on his left and right, helping to turn on the cold air.
I never thought that the outer cooling system of the Shiring Apostles could be used like this, I am a genius achoo!
"Pandora, turn on the cold air."
"Oh."
The little girl replied and immediately reduced the volume of the cold air. Visca immediately took the opportunity to mock her: "Hmph, you really are an idiot, you can't even compare to me in terms of precise energy control!"
"Just be quiet for me. Isn't it good to come out for a walk in peaceful days?"
I knocked Visca's head with a moderate amount of force, the latter immediately covered his head and made a face at Pandora while giggling.
As the night deepened, the lights shone brightly. It was almost time for curfew in the 7th School District. Most of the students had already returned to their dormitories. The few delinquents who had been abandoned by the city and had chosen to give up on themselves would not choose this period of time when the police were conducting their last patrol. Therefore, walking on the busy streets during the day and facing such a quiet and empty scene, it was a very strange feeling.
However, this kind of atmosphere could indeed calm people down. No wonder Lin Xue always said that she liked to take a walk on the empty streets at night.
Speaking of which, it was a very dangerous thing for a girl to have this kind of hobby. However, if it was a girl who could predict everything and had the strength to single-handedly defeat a squad of special forces soldiers, as well as the possibility of having a reinforced company of bodyguards following behind her at any time, ah, for the majority of fellow delinquents, that was a very dangerous thing.
Although it wasn't a research institute directly managed by Gakuen City, even if it was a private research institute funded by external investors, it would still have some special characteristics. For example, bringing a loli out to walk on the streets when the curfew was approaching. That's why, being a scientist was quite beneficial — — By the way, there shouldn't be any deviation in my worldview, right?
"Brother, brother." Two continuous cheerful cries, it was undoubtedly Visca's signature way of calling me, "Why are we taking a walk at such a late hour?"
"That's because," I said with a thoughtful expression, looking at the bright lights in the distance. In this quiet and peaceful night, my voice echoed far away, "That's because when my brother went to the bathroom, he accidentally bumped into a certain prophet who was taking a bath. Then, Qian Qian and my sister unanimously ordered him to stay awake outside until midnight …"
"Brother's tone is very profound."
If that's the case, then don't mention that tear-inducing matter anymore!!
Really, this year is really unlucky for me. If I didn't have the habit of taking a bath at this time, if I seriously paused to check if there was any water sound before entering, if I remembered to knock on the door first, then no matter what, I wouldn't have bumped into the scene of a certain shy missy coming out of her bath!
Even though I didn't see anything, I was smashed by a face plate … Of course, I didn't feel the slightest bit of regret! No matter how beautiful that crazy girl was, she couldn't change my fixed impression of her. Lin Xue, back off!
Sigh, how unfortunate …
In the end, I can only use the word unfortunate to describe it. There were so many people in the house, why didn't Shallow Shallow and sister think of reminding me? Furthermore, even Lin Xue, the prophet who claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent, didn't expect that I would suddenly barge in — — How could Lin Xue not know? Could it be that this was another conspiracy?
In an instant, I linked the entire matter to a conspiracy. It wouldn't have mattered if it was someone else, but the problem was that the person who was involved in this cliché plot was the great prophet Lin Xue! Could that girl possibly let her guard down around me?
The answer was — — I was once again made a fool of by that girl, and this time, in order to mess with me, she even sacrificed herself. I really didn't know how that girl's train of thought was formed.
"Visca is very happy."
Without any warning, the little Cat Eyes loli suddenly blurted out these words.
I smiled and placed my hand on the head of the girl beside me and rubbed it. The latter immediately narrowed her eyes and revealed a very comfortable expression.
Of course, the other one couldn't be left out either. Before Pandora's head could hit me, I also pressed down on the other small head.
Thank the heavens, it's really good to have two hands. Also, it's really good that there are only two such awkward beautiful sisters.
"I have a family. I have an older brother and many older sisters," the cat-eyed loli said with her eyes closed. Then, as if she had sensed something, she suddenly opened her eyes slightly and glanced to the side. "Although I have an older sister who's an idiot …"
Hey! Pandora, your head is heating up … Damn, it's scalding hot!
"Why did you suddenly think of saying all this?" I looked at the little girl who was rubbing against me like a kitten, puzzled. My tone was filled with doubt.
"Because my older brother didn't get angry because of what I did in the past, and he didn't hate me because of what happened to Starlink either."
Just because of that, he felt satisfied? Silly girl, forgiving the mistakes of an immature younger sister is something that older brothers and sisters should do. At this moment, I recalled the scene of my older sister bringing me to Er Ya's house to apologize many years ago. So many years had passed in the blink of an eye. Yep, speaking of this, I've gone off topic.
"Visca, come to think of it, you haven't mentioned anything about the Fallen Apostles to me. When you … Yep, when you were working for them, you should have come into contact with some things. If it's possible …" I said these words hesitantly.
Even though he was now free from that nightmare, the past was still the darkest moment in Visca's life. If it was possible, I would rather that Visca lost his memories of that period of time. But that was impossible. Even though he was muddle-headed, that period of time still truly existed in Visca's memories. Moreover, we really needed to know what kind of existences the Fallen Apostles were after the collapse of the Empire.
Originally, I had always wanted to delay this issue as much as possible. I had even deliberately forgotten the fact that Visca was once a Fallen Apostle. However, the appearance of the Barrier Star, the truth behind the destruction of the Atlantis civilization, and the current Star Ring incident had gradually made me feel a sense of urgency. The existence of the Fallen Apostles wasn't something that could be ignored just because you wanted to. If we really wanted Visca to never fall into that kind of quagmire again, we had to at least know ourselves and our enemies.
Although the order of the world was protected by the Gods, everyone had also seen that three-inch nail Goddess as an example. Peace, as expected, was only reliable when it was grasped in one's own hands …
The current opportunity was probably the most suitable scenario that I could create.
There were no outsiders around. The only people by her side were her closest brother and twin sister. She didn't need to have any apprehensions. She didn't need to worry. As long as she spoke, just like a little sister who was in trouble asking for help from her big brother and big sister, we would all help her.
Visca walked in silence. I didn't know what she was thinking about. I could only feel that Pandora's hand, which was tugging on the corner of my shirt, was trembling.
She could feel her twin sister's emotions.
"Brother," Visca finally lifted her head. There was a bitter and relieved smile on her face. "If it were you, would you expose your secret to a lunatic who could cause trouble at any time?"
So, the original Visca was only treated as a powerful weapon by those fellows?
"However, even though I have never come into contact with the core, I still know some of the outer secrets." Visca looked at my fluctuating expression and suddenly revealed a sly smile. "Even though I am crazy, I am not stupid."
"The Fallen Apostles usually consist of a few leader-level apostles who form small groups or act alone. There are very few large-scale battles because they don't dare to attract too much attention from the Protoss. As for how many Fallen Apostles there are and who is leading them, I'm not sure. However, their goal doesn't seem to be as simple as destroying the world."
"They are looking for something in the world, the 'key element' that every world has in common. They will use a specific method and sequence to create disasters, causing the world to fall into destruction through a ritualistic process. Just from the missions that my group has carried out, this plan is rather large. I'm afraid that the participants aren't limited to just the Schilling Rebellion."
I showed a pained expression. "This isn't as simple as just trouble."
"However, the Gods won't just sit and watch." Visca didn't seem to be that worried. It could also be that the end of the world wasn't too important to her. "If the harm caused by the Fallen Apostles is too widespread, to the extent that it reaches the level of the power of the Abyss, the Protoss will definitely intervene to deal with it. Looking at the time, the next large-scale extermination of the God Realm is about to begin."
Gods, huh?
Even though there was Jingle as a role model, in terms of power, as an ultimate life formed from the amalgamation of Law and Energy, they weren't to be trifled with. If the evil deeds of the Fallen Apostles really infuriated the Gods who were overflowing with humanism …
Perhaps, I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
"Brother." After walking in silence for a while, Pandora suddenly tugged on the corner of my clothes. "There's an abnormal energy field in front of us."
Only after Pandora's reminder did I notice the abnormality in our surroundings.
The lights seemed to have dimmed. No, it wasn't that the lights were dimmed. It was as though the artificial light had been greatly depleted in order to reach this area. Some kind of strange energy field had condensed in this area, filtering out the lights of the campus city. Correspondingly …
I raised my head to look at the sky.
The starlight was unprecedentedly bright.
"Alaya, what is this?"
My intuition told me that this thing should be related to mysticism. Could it be that someone from the Magic Faction had sneaked in again? Speaking of which, why did I say 'again'?
What replied to me was a gentle snoring sound coming from the depths of my mind.
"… Alaya!!"
"Huh? Brother Monarch? "
Alaya didn't disappoint me. Just by using my senses to analyze the situation around us, my angel sister, who was highly skilled in mysticism, was able to tell me the secret of this place. "It's some kind of simple ritual field.
Through the construction of several specific scenes, a 'pure world' is created. This is to filter out the artificial elements, strengthening and restoring the natural state of this world. Since the setup isn't complete, its functions are limited. It can only target a single 'target,' and its effects are limited. Right now, this ritual field should be targeting 'light.' The location of the ritual field is the sky, eliminating artificial lights and strengthening the starlight in the sky. Since many branches of the Magic Faction are powered by the power of the stars, although this ritual field doesn't have any offensive or defensive effects, it can greatly stabilize certain astrology magic. And judging from the weak energy waves in the surroundings, the other party should be using the position of the stars to perform divination. "
"Its function is similar to a totem, although the manifestation is different. Right, Alaya, what would the effect be if this ritual field was complete? Would you be able to do it? "
After listening to Alaya's explanation, I was suddenly interested in the Magic Faction. Although the Shiring Apostles' technology had reached the pinnacle, it was undeniable that their attainments in the mysterious and unknown powers had reached a level where they could discuss with the Gods. Just what was the fundamental difference between such a power and science?
"In mysticism, this ritual is classified as' Return. 'It's to restore the world to its original state before it was' Corrupted 'by civilization. If it's completed, it can cause an entire planet's human population to go extinct and instantly erase all traces of civilization, turning the planet into a state that would have been like this if humans had never been born. Since the completion rate is so high, and it tests the caster's control over the power of Law, this ritual was once listed by many schools in the God Realm as one of the top three exams for the Dark Protoss Elementary School. I've studied it before, but I gave up on it because of the conflicting power attributes. Yep, Brother Monarch, you don't need to worry. The humans of this world won't be able to do such a thing. And this ritual field is probably nothing more than a fragment of the God Realm's information projected onto this planet. Apart from making astrology easier to cast, it's not even worth mentioning."
I was rendered speechless.
Do you guys think I should complain, or complain, or complain?
Since it was a "Battlefront" ritual, the range of this forcefield was rather large, encompassing almost the entire street. Furthermore, there were spells to disperse idlers, divert attention, and weaken memories mixed in, causing the entire area to be completely empty. To spend such a large amount of effort just to perform a single divination in the Gakuen City, I really didn't know what the mages were thinking …
"Ahead, turn left thirty meters away. There are three carbon-based lifeforms. One of them has a physical strength that is one hundred and twenty-three times that of a normal human. Main weapon systems have been locked onto."
"Don't make a move casually later." I pressed down on Pandora's head, who was starting to get restless. "To us, the mages aren't enemies."
"Oh." Pandora nodded unwillingly. Then, she activated her invisibility forcefield. The three of us, including a Dazed Angel who was hiding in my mind and starting to doze off again, quietly moved towards the target location.
Just like what Pandora had detected, there were a total of three people on the other side. As they had already blocked the attention of ordinary people, they were openly standing by the roadside. One of them was a tall red-haired man wearing a black robe that resembled a priest's robe. He had a lit cigarette in his mouth, and his face was filled with impatience. The most eye-catching thing about him was that under one of his eyes, there was a barcode-like pattern that made one want to take a scanner and scan it. However, upon closer inspection, one would realize that it was actually a series of Roman numerals. Standing opposite this "priest", who was wearing a priest's robe but had an aura like that of a hoodlum on the streets, was a beautiful girl with long hair, wearing a white short shirt, and a pair of postmodern one-legged jeans. She held a Green Dragon Crescent … cough cough, a long Japanese katana in her hand. Due to the angle, one couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. Between the two of them was a young man with short blonde hair and sharp eyes, who was completely wrapped in a black priest's robe.
Due to the continuous bombardment of the Bubble over the past few days, I had already crammed a large amount of knowledge about the Magic Forbidden World. There was no need to guess the identity of the two people in front of me. They should be Steele, who had full points in fire talent, and the Weapon War God Fireweaver. As for the third person, he didn't appear in the information of the Bubble. It seemed like he was just a quest NPC.
Speaking of which, there was no problem with my train of thought, right?
My mind was filled with such nonsensical thoughts. I pricked up my ears and listened carefully to their soft conversation.
"Steele, you should also have some patience."
A clear female voice. This was the voice of God Fireweaver. The red-haired priest who was being lectured continued to have a sour expression as he fiercely sucked on his cigarette.
"In the first three days, I was still very patient."
From the sounds of it, the people of the magic side had actually been hiding in the school city for three days? This was really a shameful fact. Of course, I was referring to the big shots of the school city.
"If it's possible, I still hope that you can extinguish your cigarette when I'm doing my divination." The golden-haired NPC priest frowned slightly. "That will affect the accuracy of the divination results."
"That is, if you can really get the results."
Steele sneered rudely. However, he still obediently extinguished his cigarette and replaced it with a new one.
"You bastard …"
"Can you stop talking?" God Fireweaver sighed as if she had a headache. "The two of you worked together to set up such a complicated ritual field. It shouldn't be just so that no one would disturb you when you're quarreling, right?"
"Yes, yes. Since Big Sister has spoken," The golden-haired priest looked like a gentleman, but it seemed like his personality wasn't much more serious than Steele's. "Let us continue to search for the fallen Lord Angel. Yup, the chimney over there, I'll have to trouble you to move further away …"
