Cataclysm King

Chapter 384 Let the Bai family and the Silver Moon Sect serve as shields

  PS. The content is as mentioned.

Ji Xun left the rat camp in the sewer.

Since divination has confirmed that his sense of crisis really has a direct source, of course he cannot leave it alone.

 In the wooden house.

The white mouse looked at the storage ring left on the table with a very complicated expression.

Reni looked at the scarlet blood on her chest and asked with concern: "Mother-in-law, how are you?"

Only a few people in the camp knew the identity of Granny, and Reni was one of them.

　　　It is not what she said modestly, she is not an expert in divination.

But in the entire Eastern Wasteland, it is difficult to find a fortune teller who is more knowledgeable in the field of divination than the old man in front of him.

 Eighty years ago, this man was already a well-known figure in the Federation.

 “Great evil.”

 After all, he had just been given the [Grey Mist Relic], and Reni didn’t want Ji Xun to die like this.

Reni didn’t know what to say when he heard this.

 I didn’t expect the consequences to be so serious.

 After all, divination determined the direction of the crisis and saved his life.

 Of course he also noticed that Ji Xun's expression did not change at all from the beginning to the end.

"Um."

 Sighing again, Grandma said, "Let's clean it up. It's time to change the camp."

 He knew that this was what Ji Xun left for him to study the puppet.

Reni also felt a little unbelievable when he heard this.

Reni's eyes instantly became complicated when he saw it.

ˆ “.”

"this"

The mother-in-law shook her head and said something, and then sighed: "Hey, it's my fault too. I was curious about what that person was predicting, and that's why the backlash was so serious. The young man should have seen something, but he just didn't mind."

 “My life span has been shortened a bit. I brought it on myself.”



 Such a backlash is not a big deal.

ˆ “.”

At this sight, his expression was startled again.

Just this move makes people a little more admirable.

After pondering for a moment, a very rare look of confusion appeared in her rat eyes, and she continued: "But the young man's eyes were as unpredictable as a prophet. He knew his situation clearly, but it seemed that everything was wrong. Unsurprisingly indifferent. This reminds me of the leader of the "Thirteen Kamen Riders". I had an encounter with "Light Chaser" Gurney, and his eyes gave me the same feeling. That kind of person. , never let yourself be exposed to 'accidents'. perhaps."

The mother-in-law had a bitter look on her face and added: "The cause and effect involved in that young man is too terrifying, far beyond my reach. As expected, he should be from the Southern Continent."

The mother-in-law said in a deep tone, "According to the situation of poker divination, it is impossible for that person to be alive. But"

The mother-in-law looked at the poker on the table and said with emotion: "This [Golden Divination Poker] is a relic of my teacher back then. After the 'Golden Coup', the family of the great prophet Atalas was wiped out by several federal congressmen, and this relic was also No whereabouts. Unexpectedly, it fell into my hands again today."

　　But even this was so badly backlashed that it is hard to imagine what the divination was.

 It was just a relic, and he was not stingy.

  Didn’t expect this to be the case.

 He knew that Granny's divination was very special, and even passed most of the cost of the backlash onto the symbiotic rat.

At this point, neither of them said anything.

Hearing this, Reni also looked complicated.

 But with such a huge cause and effect, it is hard to imagine who can survive it safely.

The cause and effect is so powerful that no one can pry into it, just like the gods cannot be looked at directly.

 If there were really bad results, he would take Ji Xun elsewhere.

Thinking about it, he asked again: "Mother-in-law, what do you think of that person's divination result?"

Ji Xun didn’t take away the poker, which was considered compensation.

 In addition to the supplies that were previously promised to pay for the divination fee, there are also many top-notch mechanical materials and accessories.

 In fact, the backhand that was secretly hidden before was this grandma’s divination ability.

  After all, Reni and the other two had killed several members of the Black Knife organization before.

 Reni nodded and helped put away the storage ring on the table.

It was precisely because of this that Reni dared to bring Ji Xun to the camp before.

The backlash just now was not only because of the divination, but more importantly, she had a glimpse of the cause and effect pointed to by the divination.

 In the past, we had purposeful transactions, we didn’t owe each other, and we didn’t think anything of it. But this kind of gift without asking for anything in return made him feel that he owed someone a favor.

In the Thieves City, in a dark alley, the manhole cover of the sewer opened with a bang.

Ji Xun walked out of the sewer.

He turned towards the red-eyed mouse behind him and said, "Say 'thank you' to my mother-in-law for me."

The mouse seemed to understand, and squeaked, then turned around and ran into the sewer again.

 In fact, Ji Xun had noticed before that the mother-in-law was definitely not simple.

The other party can do divination, and Ji Xun can also deduce.

 In the world he deduced, the diviner’s causal line was very special.

Definitely not as simple as an ordinary wanted criminal.

 Looking back at the news related to the fortune teller in history, he also guessed some of the other party’s background.

But Ji Xun has little interest in exploring other people's secrets.

He didn't think much, straightened his clothes, and when he walked out of the alley, he already had the face of a stranger.

It was a coincidence. I don’t know if rats like to visit this neighborhood, but the location where Ji Xun came out happened to be Caramel Street in Xicheng District.

This is the largest dessert wholesale market in the Thieves City.

 On a short street, there are more than a dozen chocolate and cake factories.

The air is filled with the sweet aroma of pastries.

 That's why, the little **** who had been sleeping soundly in her pocket seemed to smell the sweet smell of food, and suddenly her head popped up. She looked at the exquisite pastries in the shop windows on both sides of the street and asked with bright eyes: "Mr. Ji Xun, are we going to eat something delicious?"

Ji Xun looked at little Ivan, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Yeah. Fill your stomach first."

Ivan jumped out of his pocket, lay on Ji Xun's head, and said excitedly: "Okay~"

Ji Xun agreed and led the foodie into the cake shop leisurely.

  Just now, I gave all the supplies to Reni before, so I need to reserve some space of my own.

Ji Xun then started scanning the streets for goods.

Not long after, a certain loli with a bulging belly fell asleep in her pocket again.

Ji Xun began his preparations.

 In the city, the moon symbol of the Silver Moon Sect can be seen everywhere on billboards.

Believers wearing **** nun robes can be seen everywhere on the streets, walking in small groups, their faces full of enthusiasm and piety for the moon god.

Silver Moon pollution is spreading rapidly like a plague.

In just one week, this city with a population of tens of millions has been completely destroyed.

The Thief City controlled by the Bai family is all in this kind of scene, and it can be imagined that most of the other cities in the entire Eastern Wasteland are like this.

 Furthermore, Ji Xun also discovered a phenomenon that is extremely scary if you think about it carefully.

 Along the way, the faces of the city residents no longer show the fear of war, complaints about hard work, and confusion about the future.

 Only expressions of pleasure and enjoyment.

Even a sloppy homeless man lying on the street can get the ultimate spiritual joy as long as he prays devoutly to the moon in the sky and recites the honorable name of Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Joy".

Happiness and dreams form a virtual perfect world, allowing believers to sink endlessly.

Ji Xun had fallen into a silver moon dream before at Tailong Machinery City Station, so he knew what those people saw.

That kind of happy and perfect dream is simply not something that ordinary people can escape from.

 Compared with the suffering in reality, most people would not want to wake up once exposed to it.

 This is also the most direct reason why the Silver Moon Sect can grow rapidly.

Ji Xun finally understood why the card masters’ ancestors were so resistant to the belief in the old gods.

Such a scene full of fanatical believers makes the whole world feel unreal. But at the same time, Ji Xun also had some deep thoughts in his mind: What is the difference between the dream world and the real world?

 The spiritual world can simulate all the senses in the real world. If dreams can be absolutely perfect, then why should we cling to the real world?

 In the sky, a huge bright moon illuminates the entire city.

The bright moonlight shines down, linking to every believer, absorbing the power of their faith.

 The inspiration for pollution exemptions continues to flicker.

Ji Xun walked on the street, deducing the possible flaws in his plan, and murmured to himself from time to time: "That guy Aragorn really gave me a big trouble."

Although he guessed that people from the Southern Continent were most likely targeting Ivan, he had no intention of staying out of the matter.

 The entrustment of friends must be protected with all their strength.

Moreover, Ji Xun himself was also curious about what secrets Ivan had and how people in the Southern Continent would solve problems.

 In his opinion, danger is indeed danger.

  But there is no hope of breaking the situation.

The senior leaders of the Dragon Rebel Army can send Ivan to the Eastern Wasteland. The secrets involved in Ivan must be extraordinary.

But Ji Xun didn’t think that when Aragorn and the others sent people here, they didn’t expect that people from the Holy See would come.

Accordingly, the Holy See will also be wary of the back-up of the Dragon Rebel Army.

 It is this kind of game with huge uncertainty that makes Ji Xun so excited.

It's like playing cards with a master. Before the cards are played, you can already see the types of cards that both parties will play later.

 In this kind of card game, what often determines the outcome is not necessarily the final big card, but may be any "card that the opponent did not expect".

 That's why Ji Xun felt that Aragorn might have had something in mind when he sent the person here.

The future of the poker game is unknown. Ji Xun cannot see through it, but he finds it interesting.

 What he can do is to do his best.

so.

 Now that it is certain that people from the Southern Continent are likely to come to our door.

Ji Xun didn’t intend to take the risk on his own.

 The Bai family and the Silver Moon Sect in Extreme Thieves City are the best "helpers".

 Ji Xun has seen with his own eyes that the Silver Moon Goddess has the ability to hunt down the eighth-level dragon-born card master, so she has to let the other party contribute no matter what.

“People from the Southern Continent should send a small force to make a surprise attack. Well, some special relics may be used.”

“If you want to grasp the spatial displacement of Ivan, you will inevitably limit the laws of space.”

“What level will it be? Level 7? It’s unlikely to be higher. After all, this is the hinterland of the Eastern Wasteland.”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun's mind was running rapidly, and the deduced plan was like the moon above his head, spreading out countless ideas.

I have to mention something.

Ji Xun was given a big surprise by the "multitasking" entry he obtained after advancing to the sixth level.

 Originally used to control puppets while distracted, it can be used in the I-is-the-world deduction with the same miraculous effect.

Ji Xun felt that his previous brain was like a computer processing information at high speed.

 Now, it has become many stations.

Those other personalities who were once caged like circus beasts are freed. They think and grow independently.

This Ji Xun’s deduction ability has brought about exponential improvement.

 But at the same time, hidden dangers are gradually emerging.

 As other personalities become stronger, the risk of losing control becomes greater and greater.

 This is also the reason why Reni said before that high-level card masters in their lineage of magicians are prone to mental distortion.

Ji Xun has no intention of stripping off those out-of-control personalities.

 So, this was another reason why he wanted to go to the Silver Moon Sect.

The other personalities he suppressed before relied on the Silver Moon Sect's "Sky Moon Divine Thought" secret method.

 But before, his level was low and the secret method he understood was very superficial. It could no longer meet the current six-level mental power growth needs.

Ji Xun plans to go to the Silver Moon headquarters in Extreme Thieves City to see if he can get the follow-up to the secret method of visualization.

 Furthermore, I have just advanced and my realm is not yet stable enough.

 There is no more direct method of stabilization than absorbing some extraordinary substances.

 He also wanted to see if there were supernatural beings such as mediums in the sect.

You must know that this is no longer the old sect that Ji Xun met in Sinking City and was hiding in Tibet.

Rather, it is a behemoth with countless believers providing the power of faith.

As I was walking, several nuns came towards me.

 She looks like a young female student.

Ji Xun did not wear the Cross of the Moon and had no church emblem. This made the nuns immediately confirm that this was not a believer of a god, and they took the initiative to greet him.

One of the better-looking nuns said enthusiastically: "Sir, we sincerely invite you to join our Silver Moon Church and become Lord Arachne's most loyal believer with us. Lord Moon Goddess will give us endless joy."

Ji Xun looked at a few people, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

 He did not reject them, but responded directly: "Praise the great gods."

Ji Xun stayed in the Silver Moon Sect for a long time.

 As to his understanding of doctrine, he knows it better than these believers.

Several young nuns saw Ji Xun agreeing so easily, and they also laughed and led Ji Xun to a nearby prayer place.

 Ji Xun is calm and unhurried.

The last time the undercover was discovered, the most important reason was that because of the small number of believers, he had been entangled with the "divine body" of the moon god.

 Having been exposed once, I learned a lesson.

There are now hundreds of millions of followers in the Silver Moon Sect, and Ji Xun is not the low-level card master he was back then. He doesn't think he can be exposed so easily.

In order to prepare the Bai family and the Silver Moon Sect for the upcoming crisis, Ji Xun also took the time to write a "military secret letter".

  He had served as a spy in the Southern Continent Army and was familiar with the format and encryption methods of various military letters.

 He wrote several letters in the tone of a scout from the southern continent who had sneaked into the city.

 The content is roughly as follows: "The Holy Holy See is about to have an important military mission in the Thieves City, and there will be experts coming."

 There is no need to go into too much detail. There are experts in the Bai family who can definitely guess it.

The intelligence officers of the Bai family are also very professional. Ji Xun went to the tavern and "unfortunately" intercepted a few secret letters.

 Even if the other party has doubts about the origin of the letter, they will definitely pay attention to it.

 After all, the Bai family is now the high priest of Oran.

 They know that they must be the key target of the Southern Continent, and they have always been prepared.

Ji looked for these letters, just thinking that when people from the Southern Continent really came, the Bai family would preconceptionally think that they were coming for them, and thus join the war as soon as possible.

 The evening of the next day.

Ji Xun changed into a formal dress and followed the address to the White Pigeon Holy Church, the largest Silver Moon stronghold in Xicheng District.

High-level card masters are determined and difficult to be affected by low-level pollution in the moonlight and darkness.

 That requires continued and stronger pollution.

Silver Moon Sect also attaches great importance to these candidates who can provide combat power and stronger faith.

Ji Xun is currently playing the role of a fourth-level hunter whom he met in the Old Continent but died in battle.

 So after registering at the branch yesterday, the bishop there informed him to come to the White Dove Church today, implying that there would be a higher-level joyful dance here.

 Xicheng District, Iron Knight Street, has a row of luxurious manors.

This neighborhood was originally a wealthy area of ​​Thieves City.

The White Dove Church is at No. 441. This is a spire building decorated with colored sloped glass. It is also the most luxurious manor in the entire block.

When Ji Xun came, he saw that there were all kinds of luxurious motorcycles parked on both sides of the road.

 Enter the manor, there are already many people here.

Wealthy ladies in gorgeous long dresses, young and beautiful noble ladies, and gentlemen wearing top hats and holding canes

Three or five people gathered together, chatting and laughing happily.

 It is said to be a prayer ceremony of the Silver Moon Sect, but more like a noble dance.

Ji Xun was already familiar with the communication procedures of the upper class and walked in leisurely.

However, the garden of the manor was still normal. When I walked into the hall, I immediately saw pairs of naked young men and women hugging each other and dancing on the dance floor.
