Extraordinary pedigree

Chapter 597 Flower of Blood and Bone·The Collapse of Rites and Music

In a dim basement, a dim light bulb was hung on the wall, and the light was swaying, as if it would go out at any time.

The whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was disgusting.

"You run really fast."

Xia Xiu's incarnation [Sisyphus] slowly floated behind him, and his purple-gold body glowed with a strange luster under the weak light. His body was as perfect as the sculpture of David, with clear muscle lines and a strong sense of power.

The ground and walls around were splashed with bright red blood, as if a bloody rain had just ended.

The blood arrows produced by the explosion of the long-legged owl just now turned the entire basement into a mess, and dense pits covered every corner.

These pits are about ten centimeters deep, as if countless sharp arrows instantly penetrated the concrete, leaving tragic traces.

The ground was littered with gravel and cracked tiles, and blood was dripping from the edges of the holes on the wall, forming pools of bright red blood on the ground.

The entire underground operating room looked eerie and terrifying, with a smell of corruption in the air. The surgical instruments scattered around were stained with blood, coldly reflecting the weak light.

On the operating table next to it, there were various dissection tools and bottles and jars, many of which were stained red with blood, which was particularly shocking.

Beside Xia Xiu, the female forensic doctor Lisa had stood up at this moment, and she looked at the masked blond man in front of her with a cautious look.

After a series of beatings and life-and-death trials, Lisa seemed particularly cautious and fearful, and dared not play any tricks or tricks in front of Xia Xiu again.

Her eyes were filled with fear and awe, and her body trembled slightly. She tried her best to keep herself calm, but the tension in her heart could not be completely concealed.

Wearing a mask, Xia Xiu pulled the fishing rod bag behind him, and his avatars [Sisyphus] and [Vashak] immediately sneaked into his body.

The whole process was silent, as if it had never happened.

This made the female forensic doctor Lisa next to him even more at a loss. She stood there, looking hesitantly at the place where [Sisyphus] and [Vashak] disappeared, her heart full of surprise and confusion.

"How can one person have two avatars..."

This thought flashed through her mind, but then an inexplicable force began to erode her consciousness.

She felt dizzy, her vision began to distort, and everything around her seemed to be blurred and deformed.

The impression of the two avatars gradually collapsed in her memory and became blurred, like a ball of scattered ink, and it was difficult to piece together a complete image.

Buzz buzz buzz ~

Then, a buzzing sound suddenly exploded in her ears, like a piercing pain like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, making her thoughts instantly confused.

Lisa covered her ears, trying to dispel the annoying noise, but to no avail.

Some "wrong impressions" began to emerge in her mind. These impressions were disorganized and illogical, like fragments of memory that were deliberately tampered with.

She saw that in the blurry picture, the images of [Sisyphus] and [Vashak] kept changing, sometimes they were tall purple-gold figures, and sometimes they turned into ordinary human appearances.

These distorted memory fragments churned in her mind, making her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Cold sweat flowed down the forehead of the female forensic doctor.

She tried to recall the scene just now, but found that everything became extremely blurry.

At this moment, Xia Xiu's plain voice sounded in her ears.

"Okay, now that the annoying flies have been temporarily driven away, it's time to continue talking about the topic we need to talk about."

This voice was like a shot of cardiotonic, suddenly pulling the female forensic doctor back to reality from the chaos.

Lisa felt a sense of clarity, and the confusion and distortion just now instantly dissipated.

Her thoughts became clear, and she naturally forgot the memory full of logical errors just now.

Lisa only remembered what Xia Xiu did to her and that she had just been attacked by the incarnation, and Xia Xiu's incarnation resolved and counterattacked the opponent's attack.

However, she knew nothing about Xia Xiu's incarnation ability, as if that part of her memory was deliberately erased.

What's even more strange is that she didn't feel anything unusual about it, as if it was supposed to be this way.

The female forensic doctor looked at Xia Xiu, her heart full of awe and a little uneasiness.

Xia Xiu said in his usual warm voice:

"Don't be too nervous, can't you see that I won't take your life, otherwise you won't have the chance to stand in front of me."

Lisa listened to Xia Xiu's words and was silent for a while, with complex emotions surging in her heart.

She knew that her situation was far different from the opponent's power. If Xia Xiu really wanted to take her life, she would have no room to resist.

After a moment of silence, Lisa bowed to Xia Xiu, still feeling a little uneasy.

"Your power and wisdom are far superior to mine. It is my honor to stand before you."

According to the class classification of the Sarkic cult, she belongs to the second class of the six classes in the pyramid - [Zande], and the masked man in front of her is the third class - [Volutar], also known as the [Wise].

Sarkic cultists of this class can be called parents or even patriarchs in the church, and they have considerable power and knowledge.

The next level up is [Casister], who are already religious and secular leaders in the Sarkic organization.

They are called [Flesh Enemies/Flesh Warlocks]. Most of them have various magical means to be biologically immortal, and are more difficult to eliminate than the group of vampires hidden in the hub.

And then above them are [Klavigar], also known as [High Warlocks]. They are the top of Sarkic below the Grand Warlocks. They are the "saints" of Sarkic and even Ion.

Currently, there are only four people in this class in Sarkic, and these four are the Four Saints of Sarkic.

Lisa has the mark of one of the four saints, [Sarn].

In response to the salute of the female forensic doctor, Xia Xiu nodded slightly without comment, and then turned his eyes to the monster [Behemoth] lurking in the corner.

He waved his hand and summoned this creepy deformed monster.

Female forensic doctor Lisa looked at the [Behemoth] that originally belonged to her and was transformed into the deformed and terrifying appearance it is now. For a moment, she didn't know how to express her inner emotions.

Her heart was filled with complex emotions, including loss and helplessness, as well as a hint of fear.

The young flesh-and-blood female shepherd had been broken by the iron fist several times, and now she no longer expected to get her BIO seeds back.

The blond masked man was extremely indifferent to the hideous monster. He stroked the sideburns of [Behemoth] that had turned into a lion head like petting a dog. The lion head roared softly, and the mane trembled slightly between his fingers.

Xia Xiu's movements seemed gentle, but the powerful control made people shudder.

He turned his head and looked at Lisa, his voice still calm but with unquestionable majesty.

"What you said when you were controlled by the owl just now doesn't count. Now let's start a new conversation."

Lisa stood in the dim basement, the weak light swaying, reflecting on her face, making her look even paler and more nervous.

"In order to ensure the efficiency of the conversation,"

Xia Xiu continued, with a hint of unquestionable firmness in his tone.

"I will state my purpose directly - I want to investigate the multiple steps and participants involved in the human body trade line behind you, including the details of illegal acquisition, storage, transportation, sale and use of human organs."

When Lisa heard these words, her heart was shocked and her eyebrows jumped up involuntarily.

She subconsciously touched her neck where she had just been pierced in a "suicide" after being controlled by her body. Although the wound had healed, the terrifying feeling of being unable to control herself still lingered.

Her heart was full of fear and contradictions, and she had fallen into a dilemma.

If she told everything about the consortium and the human body trade line, she would face the endless and weird persecution of being controlled by her body just now, and would also offend a large number of powerful and dangerous people; if she did not tell the secrets of the human body trade line and the consortium, she would now face the persecution of the patriarch from the Sarkic Cult.

She knew very well the dangerous situation she was in, but she still mustered up the courage and asked tentatively:

"Respected head of the family, can you protect your fellow soldiers from being implicated?"

Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of begging and hope, as if she was grasping the last straw.

Xia Xiu did not respond immediately after hearing Lisa's request, but looked at Lisa carefully, as if evaluating her sincerity and value.

Xia Xiu knew Lisa's little thoughts in his heart, but he did not show any impatience or disgust.

For him, this investigation was not only about the human body trade of [pseudo-humans], but also involved the Sarkic Cult.

He was thinking about the complex relationship.

The involvement of the Sarkic Cult made this incident more unexpectedly complex and dangerous.

After the punch of [Sisyphus] just now, he could actually use the elements to corrode and pollute the other party's mind, but that would only alert the snake and make the consortium behind it run faster.

Obviously, the human body trade of [pseudo-humans] has already involved the turbulent political struggle within the Edisi Federation.

This suddenly appeared, unknown Hermes Consortium, behind which are involved the Black Gold Empire and [Trust Giants] hidden in the shadow of the Federation.

The centralized political group of the federal government, headed by the Reserve Director of the Second Bank, chose to cooperate with the Administration and himself - its purpose is to crack down on dissidents, strengthen the control of the federal government, and use the influence of the new alliance to clean up and correct the gray and black areas.

As a bargaining chip, the fourth sword bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven will form a political alliance with the second president John K. Hanks, gain the political connections of Hanks' family, and at the same time, gain the support of the Federal Reserve Bank in the Ivy League War.

What he needs to do is to deal with the things that the interest groups represented by John K. Hanks cannot deal with openly, such as - cleaning up garbage.

And now, Xia Xiu is full of curiosity about the internal operation and involvement of the Sarkic Cult, and wants to know why they are involved in the muddy water of human body trade.

Lisa looked at Xia Xiu in silence, and the fear in her heart gradually deepened, but she knew that she had no way out and could only wait quietly for his answer.

The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the dim lights cast swaying shadows on the wall, as if mocking the incompetence of the flesh-and-blood female shepherd in front of them.

However, this silence did not last long.

Xia Xiu's interesting words broke the silence in the room.

"Although I don't want to deviate from the topic, some things must be asked to better meet my usual purpose of advancement."

The golden eyes of the blond young man hidden behind the mask looked at Lisa sharply through the gap of the mask, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

Lisa felt the pressure of this gaze, and her heart was uneasy, but she knew she had to face it.

Xia Xiu continued: "I asked you before, are you affiliated with the new Sarkic or the old Sarkic, or are you a jumper between the two factions' themes - you haven't answered these questions for me yet."

Lisa took a deep breath, subconsciously thinking about how to answer this question to cater to the "interest" of the head of the family in front of her.

She knew that the blond masked man asked this question not unintentionally, but to thoroughly understand her background and position.

The new Sarkic advocates the combination of modern thaumaturgy technology and flesh and blood manipulation to create more powerful flesh and blood creations, but - judging from their performance, most of them are lunatics, antisocial elements and terrorists.

The Old Sarkites worship tradition and believe that power comes from ancient rituals and taboo knowledge. They are relatively more homely and backward. Some of them are still tribal civilizations and retain the habit of cannibalism. Many cannibal legends on Terra actually come from the Old Sarkites.

And since the disappearance of the Grand Warlock, the disappearance of the Six Commanders, and the disappearance of the Four Saints, the entire Sarkic religion has begun to enter...

The collapse of rituals and the destruction of music!

The leaders and patriarchs should have loved their peers like angels, supported the lineage program, and maintained the relationship between the think tank and the lineage holders.

However, the intention of the Sarkites for power has become the main driving force for all lineage members.

Individuals seek to bring everything under their own dominance and exercise the direction of power (effectiveness). At the same time, other individuals are doing the same thing, and often conflicts arise.

The class system that maintains the circulation of talents should cooperate with the think tank to define the rights, obligations, and welfare of the ruling class and the ruled class of the lineage.

Under the collapse of rituals and music, there are only obligations now, and that obligation is - sacrifice and suffering.

In the Proto-Sarkic sects, this manifested as sacrificing oneself for the greater good.

Neo-Sarkic sects are the exact opposite, believing in sacrificing the greater good for the individual.

Muscles endure pain only to become stronger when they heal.

The same is true for the mind, by developing a tolerance for the unthinkable under normal circumstances - a cycle of destruction and rebirth.

But in either case, it is a manifestation of the abuse of power by the patriarchs and the disregard for the lesser, who no longer see the members of the Sarkic Spectrum as like-minded comrades.

They have forgotten the teachings of the Grand Karcist Black River when he preached.

He said, I come here to liberate the people.

The Grand Karcist liberated the land, and wherever he went, the flames of rebellion would be ignited and the armies of the Daevites would be defeated.

Whether by sword, whisper, or force of will,

the Grand Karcist led the members of the Sarkic Spectrum through the lands of the Daevites and returned them to the people.

He said, stand up, and do not kneel before "him".

He said that struggle is the best teacher, that the Daevas have been destroyed and a new struggle will begin.

He leads only those who love him.
