Casting spells

The most frightening thing is that most of these poor people who have been kidnapped will not be able to return to their relatives and friends alive, but will be killed by the kidnappers and their bodies will be dissolved.

Even Americans who are used to the occasional shooting incidents around them can't bear such a terrible security environment.

"By the way! Is there an answer to the identity of that statue?" Zhang Cheng asked with great interest.

When Mansha heard this, she immediately put down her work, took out her mobile phone and called up a few black and white photos that were not very clear: "Look for yourself! If you're not mistaken, the statue in your hand should be one The story depicted in this ancient mural is of a person. She is not a god, but a powerful priestess."

"Priest?!" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"That's right! It is said that she once offered a total of three thousand sacrifices to a certain god in a grand sacrificial ceremony, so she was given great power and a half-human half-snake form. But later this woman For some reason, the priest became more and more crazy and cruel, trying to replace the god she once served. As a result, she killed all the people in a city with great power. In the end, the god punished her and imprisoned her in a dark prison The Incas were afraid of her power, so they worshiped her as a god..." Mansha explained succinctly.

"Interesting! Is it a fight between the priestess and the gods?" Zhang Cheng's eyes revealed a hint of amusement.

Judging from the power contained in the statue, this priestess has clearly crossed the boundaries of mortals in the use of magical energy. Even according to the current standards, she is an out-and-out top spellcaster.

For such a spellcaster, it is not surprising to have the idea of ​​​​replacing the gods.

Look at the group of high-ranking mages on the Great Road of Faerun, one counts as one, and they are all eager to solve the mystery of the power and immortality of the gods.

But what makes Zhang Cheng feel a little strange is why the god at that time didn't kill this ambitious priestess, but just imprisoned her.

Can't kill?

Or does the other party have something that even the gods can't help but want to spy on?

More importantly, where was the priestess imprisoned?

City of Gold?

With puzzled questions one after another, Zhang Cheng carefully picked up the statue, and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "If you can hear my voice and understand what I mean, then give me Just a hint. Don’t worry, I’m not your enemy, but your potential ally, at least we have a common goal when it comes to dealing with the gods.”

The voice just fell!

The jewel-like eyes of the statue suddenly flickered!

next second...

Zhang Cheng felt a very weak consciousness and wanted to establish some kind of connection with himself.

But it's a pity that this consciousness is too weak, so weak that it can't even convey the most basic emotions, let alone complicated information.

Chapter 7 Self-awareness

San Juan, the capital of the Free State of Puerto Rico, is also known as the Pearl of the Caribbean Sea, especially when there is a deadly storm in the Atlantic Ocean, it will become a safe haven for countless ships.

On days when sailing is impossible, the lonely sailors who disembark from the ship will wave their banknotes generously, drink local specialty rum, and have a little intimacy beyond friendship with beautiful girls by the way.

The instinctive desires of human beings are fully reflected at this moment. Few men can resist this kind of good time when they can indulge in pleasure without taking any responsibility.

But for Zhang Cheng, this low-level desire derived from the continuation of offspring has long since become extremely weak.

So instead of going to the carnival party held in the hotel, he stood alone in front of the window of the luxury suite, admiring the shocking scene caused by the strong wind sweeping across the entire city.

Whether it was the vehicles parked on the side of the road or the roofs of the houses whose structures were not very strong, none of them escaped unharmed.

At a glance, San Juan looks like a girl who has been ravaged by a strong man. She has no resistance at all. The manic waves in the harbor keep beating the rocks and making loud noises. As for the residents, they have nothing to do except hide and wait for the storm to pass. Second choice.

"BOSS! Do you want me to arrange room service for you?" Yelena asked meticulously.

Of course, this room service is not room service in the ordinary sense, but to arrange a beautiful girl to accompany you through the empty and lonely night.

As a professionally trained spy, she was obviously very aware of how strong the physical needs of healthy men were, and she also understood why the director kept sending herself to perform such seemingly easy tasks.

Because Leonid needs to keep in close contact with her employer, she is even ready to go to battle in person if the situation warrants.

After all, the shameful skills learned at the KGB training base back then were intended to be useful one day.

Through psychic powers to detect the superficial thinking of the brain, Zhang Cheng felt the other party's thoughts without any effort, and shook his head with a smile: "No! No need! Don't treat me like those desire slaves who only think with their lower body. Linked together. I am the master of desire, the ruler of desire, and only when I desire something from the bottom of my heart, will I have the corresponding desire.”

"You mean...you won't be interested in women casually? You won't have the corresponding physical impulse?" Yelena's face was undisguisedly surprised, which went against the long-term accumulated experience in her mind .

As the saying goes, the greatest pain of human beings is the inability to control their desires.

From billionaires and political elites to beggars and homeless people on the street, at some point in time, or stimulated by external factors, they will make mistakes that they would never make in normal times.

The KGB, the intelligence organization of the former Soviet Union, discovered this weakness and trained professional spies Swallow and Crow to engage in pornographic seduction.

But everything has two sides, because human beings cannot control their own desires, so many of these trained spies really have strong feelings for the target, and thus choose to betray their own country and intelligence organization.

"That's right! This is a kind of evolution! Evolution from low-level life to high-level life! Think about it, what kind of species will keep itself in estrus all year round, and then desperately mate and reproduce? Naturally, it is precarious, at any time All kinds of unexpected lower life may die. Although human beings have become the well-deserved overlords on this planet, they are still very fragile in nature and need to reproduce to maintain their dominant position in the natural competition process."

When he said these words, Zhang Cheng's eyes shone with a pale golden light, and he obviously did not regard himself as a member of the human race.

Strictly speaking, from the perspective of life, he is no longer a simple human being, but an immortal who has crossed the boundaries of mortals but has not stepped into the realm of gods.

That's why he became more and more indifferent and indifferent to the death of ordinary people.

Yelena undoubtedly noticed something, she shivered subconsciously, and tentatively asked: "So, you no longer belong to human beings?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Cheng couldn't help explaining with a smile: "It depends on where you judge! If you judge based on body shape, thinking and behavior habits, I am obviously still a member of human beings, at least on the surface It sounds like this. But in terms of the essence of life, I have surpassed most of the life forms in this world, and I can even survive the attack of thermonuclear weapons. Therefore, it does not matter whether I am a human being or not, what matters is whether I have confidence in myself Have a clear understanding and definition."

"Then you define yourself as..."

"I think I am a transcendent! I am no longer limited to identity, bloodline, or even species! I am myself! An individual who is destined to stand at the apex of life evolution. Maybe you will feel very strange, but also very scared, I Why did you say this all of a sudden. The answer is actually very simple, I see a certain potential in you, the potential to transcend yourself and complete evolution."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng turned around and looked directly into the other party's eyes.

Through the petite and fragile body in front of him, he could clearly see the incredible changes taking place in the originally ordinary soul inside.

No need to ask, the priestess behind the statue is quietly invading Yelena's soul through magic, making it a carrier of her own consciousness.

You must know that this kind of soul invasion cannot be tolerated by just anyone. The person who is invaded must first have sufficient soul strength, otherwise the powerful consciousness will be crushed in an instant.

"What do I need to pay?" Yelena bit her lower lip nervously.

No one can resist the temptation of supernatural powers!

Especially when she saw the incredible power of powerful magic with her own eyes, a hot flame seemed to be ignited in her heart, but she had developed a good habit of being patient through her years of spy work.

Only when the time is right, will she exchange the chips in her hand for what she has obtained.

In fact, after just a few days at sea, Yelena managed to tell from Mansha that Zhang Cheng had a magic potion that could give ordinary people instant power, so she knew that she had a chance.

But now, when this opportunity is in front of her, she realizes how ridiculous her proud patience is.

The beating heart in the chest cavity is the best proof!

"What a smart girl! I need you to monitor Leonid's every move for me. If he has any betrayal, kill him for me." Zhang Cheng said the terms of exchange with a smile on his face.
