Lan Mu was discovered as soon as he entered Steel Dogma City, Themis immediately closed off the city and fused it into a sealed cube.
"You think this city can trap me?"
Themis replied: "This city is an anomaly, its characteristic is that it's indestructible …"
Crunch crunch …
Elise was holding a steeple-shaped structure in her mouth, chewing on the metal and swallowing it in large mouthfuls.
Lan Mu and Themis both looked at her, then turned back to look at each other.
The scene remained silent for a while.
Lan Mu asked: "Where's Reinhardt?"
Themis calmly replied: "You won't see him again, before his next punishment erupts, someone will kill him"
Lan Mu smiled: "What a sad story, if you knew that he would suffer eternal torment after death, you wouldn't have done that"
Themis fell silent for the second time.
Lan Mu asked: "You intend to rely on several tens of thousands of fantasy weapons to deal with me? Have you never thought about what kind of torment Reinhardt would suffer? "
Themis asked: "Death … isn't release?"
"As a God, I can responsibly tell you that it isn't!" Lan Mu felt that each of these preachers was more pitiful than the last and couldn't help but say: "Death is only the beginning, the punishment will still exist after his death, it won't harm his soul, only pain. He won't truly die, but that will instead be the greatest torment in the world "
Lan Mu continued: "What about your dogma? Using an anomaly like this just to deal with me? The pain of the next punishment eruption is something that even a God can't imagine, those who don't experience it themselves wouldn't understand … have you never thought about what he would do when he couldn't endure it anymore? "
Themis understood what he meant.
Sacrificing human imagination in exchange for release.
Over the past few decades, Reinhardt had lost a lot of imagination, the price he paid was enough to turn humans into creatures without imagination.
Themis fell silent for the third time.
Lan Mu continued, "Paying for imagination doesn't require anyone's consent. As long as he wants to, he can make all of humanity pay for those fantasy weapons at any time. Under that unimaginable absolute pain, once a person has another choice, and this choice can be easily realized, do you think anyone would not choose? "
This time, Themis didn't remain silent. "0010 won't."
"You trust him that much?" Lan Mu shook his head. He knew that Reinhardt was a Saint, so he would definitely be able to maintain his bottom line. However, others did not know that CANC was playing with fire by doing this. They had placed the future of mankind in the hands of a certain person. If that person was not Reinhardt, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Themis said: "I believe in him, just like I believe in myself"
When Lan Mu heard this, he cursed in his heart: Bullshit! You're not a saint. If you had to endure that kind of pain, you would collapse in minutes.
Fortunately, Reinhardt was a Holy Disciple, and humans would not be implicated.
Lan Mu also knew that even if the Saint did not appear, humans would not be implicated. He purposely said that to take the opportunity to condemn them.
CANC originally sealed off the Fantasy Right Hand. If not for the Zergs, they would not have chosen preachers for it.
In order to resist the Zergs, they were forced to abuse the Fantasy Right Hand. Fortunately, they believed that death was freedom, so those who collapsed chose to commit suicide instead of paying their debts. In fact, those who died could no longer pay their debts. They would be cut off from the connection with the Fantasy Right Hand. Therefore, after death, their souls would only suffer until their souls dissipated.
In other words, as long as a carefully trained preacher grasped the Fantasy Right Hand, it would really be like what Themis believed. No one would sacrifice all of humanity.
The preacher would rather die than pay their debts, and after death, they would not be able to pay their debts even if they wanted to.
"What you're doing is more terrifying than demons. Reinhardt doesn't know that his soul will be immortal after death. When he can't bear it, he will definitely choose to commit suicide. However, all the price will be paid with his immortal soul."
Lan Mu told them the cruel truth in order to create a loophole for these diehards.
He finally understood that these preachers were tenacious and indomitable. Ordinary things could not move them. Judging from their feelings, this might be the only wish that could move them.
As long as they could sign a contract with one or two preachers, this huge organization that covered the world could be easily absorbed into the Lan Bai Society. The preachers were the candidates for the leader. If even the preachers chose to side with them, the people under them would be easy to deal with.
Lan Mu did not believe that all preachers were saints!
Sure enough! Themis said with a dazed expression, "Zero and ten will suffer for eternity … eternity?"
Lan Mu smiled and said, "That's right. I can swear in the name of God that this is true. Forty years is just the starting point. The sacrifice he made for you is far greater than you can imagine! "
Themis said with some pain, "Are you saying this just to make us blame ourselves? You've succeeded, but human imagination cannot be lost. This matter is unsolvable. However, Reinhardt's sacrifice will not be in vain. After such a long time, we have at least thirty thousand fantasy weapons. After you escape from this city, you will face a power that is enough to kill God! "
Lan Mu's heart sank. There were thirty thousand of them …
He thought that it was about time. He smiled and said, "Do you think those things can hit me? Fantasy weapons have a time limit. When they disappear and Reinhardt can't bear the pain and commits suicide, what will you be left with? "
Themis was silent for the fourth time. She lowered her head and did not say a word. No one knew what she was thinking.
"I can save him!" Lan Mu suddenly said.
Themis suddenly looked up.
Lan Mu continued, "I have a way to pay the price without sacrificing humans."
He smiled and provided another choice for Themis.
"If you want to save Reinhardt, you must choose to believe in me! Believe that an angel can lead humans to a wider world. "
Themis said, "Sign a contract?"
"Yes, the contract is purely voluntary. He will form an agreement between you and me that must be fulfilled. If I don't fulfill the agreement, I will also die."
Lan Mu knew that Themis was moved. They had no chance of winning in the first place. They were just holding on with a kind of persistence.
The outcome would not change. Reinhardt's sacrifice would not be meaningful.
In order to save Reinhardt, Themis only needed to admit defeat and become a member of a new containment organization.
It was still the same sentence from before. Under endless pain, if there was another choice, who would not choose? That choice was to sacrifice humans. Now, Lan Mu gave her another choice: Leave it to God.
Themis's final choice was … Okay!
To be honest, when Themis lowered her head and agreed, Lan Mu was surprised and happy.
Although he knew that Themis was moved, he did not have much hope. The probability of her agreeing was only about five percent.
"Very good … You will know the wisdom of your choice today."
Lan Mu looked at Themis's projection and said, "Where is your real body? I only see your image all this time. "
Themis said, "Follow me."
Her image suddenly disappeared. Then, a tall robot walked out of the formation and headed towards a remote building.
This building was a semicircle, about ten by ten. It was very inconspicuous among the many strange buildings.
Themis said through the robot's mouth, "I have no body for a long time. If you want to talk about my real body, I only have a brain left. My soul is connected to the entire city through a special device … "
Lan Mu listened to her. Themis told him a lot of information about him and the Steel City. The two of them unknowingly walked into the building.
Opening the door, Lan Mu saw a special container inside. A complete brain was placed inside.
Lan Mu saw Themis's soul in the brain. This was the first time he saw a soul in a quantum state. It was a 'wave' that was bound in a special container.
"This is your real body?"
"Yes."
Lan Mu shook his head. This Themis was only slightly better than Reinhardt. She was also miserable.
He thought to himself as he walked in with the robot.
"But she will soon be one of us. With the addition of this supreme leader, the Blue and White Society will truly swallow up CANC! Perhaps there will be a way to solve this in the future … "
Dong!
Just as Lan Mu was thinking, the door of the building suddenly closed.
"Hm?"
Lan Mu turned around to look. There was an observation window somewhere in the room. The window was covered, but it was quickly removed.
A robot appeared in front of the window. It removed some of the steel shell that wrapped around the outside of the building to reveal a control panel.
"How familiar … this is …"
Lan Mu was shocked. This was the same Physics laboratory that he had seen in Area 51!
An anomaly that could change the internal parameters of physics!
"Themis! You're courting death! "Lan Mu instantly understood that he had fallen into a trap. What did she mean by agreeing to sign a contract for Reinhardt? Themis was clearly lying to him. She had led him here to use this laboratory to get rid of him.
The robot that Themis was in was also trapped in the laboratory. He stood next to his brain.
"I am indeed courting death. As I said, even if there is no corpse left, it will also be the end for you and me."
Lan Mu instantly turned into a Blood Breed. He planned to switch to another clone and leave. But for some reason, he couldn't sense any of his clones. He couldn't even extend his mental power.
The inside and outside of the laboratory were like two different worlds. Lan Mu's full-powered slash couldn't even leave a mark on the wall.
It was obvious that if the internal parameters were changed to form a black hole, the wall wouldn't be damaged at all. How could it be cut open by his slash?
"This is your plan? Reinhardt and the army you gathered was just a cover? "
Themis was very calm. She spoke with the cold voice of a robot. "Don't struggle. This is only Plan A. I can't entrust my fate to only one plan … Do you know the consequences of reducing the speed of light? You and I will be distorted and collapse into the original singularity. Even God will die! "
"I'm not lying to you. This is indeed my brain. What I said is also the truth …"
Lan Mu stared at the brain. He knew that Themis was telling the truth. It was just that he, the highest leader, was only a bait from the beginning.
If he had only placed a brain of unknown origin inside, Lan Mu would have been suspicious.
But this was indeed Themis's brain. The quantum state soul filled with data couldn't be faked.
"Gabriel, let's die together."
"Let's witness the beauty of the truth when the speed of light plummets."
