Twelve Trials from Scratch
Page 184
In the center of the huge magic circle layered upon layer, she woke up from a short sleep, stood up unsteadily, and slowly turned her head to look around. The huge city that could accommodate millions of people was dead silent and turned into a huge cemetery .
Those familiar corpses fell beside him, around the magic circle.Other corpses that I didn't know or remember fell on the square, on the street, on the clever motor vehicle, and on the roof of the bell tower. Layers of cold remains covered all corners of the field of vision from the inside out.
The once world-famous city of freedom and ideals has now become a place of death.
Immediately after there was a loud bang and the sound of collapse reverberating throughout the city, countless armies, full of murderous aura, poured in from the breach in the city wall like a flood that broke a bank.
Standing on a high platform in the middle of the dead city, she slowly looked up at the pitch-black sky with scattered white snow falling, and whispered, "Disappear..."
A shimmering drop of water slid down his cheek, and disappeared before it landed. At the same time, the world's largest city named "Negrid" disappeared, and it poured into the city like a tide. The million-strong army that flooded the streets and buildings quickly spread towards the center.
……
"Nearly 300 million people..." Pulling her mind away from her memories, Luo Jieli lowered her head slightly, gently rubbing the book of sages in her hand, "For some reason, they voluntarily gave their souls to me, and let me complete their wishes."
Her tone was as calm and indifferent as possible, but Su Qi, who had extremely keen insight, could still hear the trace of sadness hidden in the deepest part after being dried up by time.
He instinctively felt that the other party was not lying, so he paused for a moment, and instead of asking further questions, he said instead: "It seems that it will be very difficult for you to recover to a full state."
Luo Jielier was silent for a moment, and said: "Don't worry too much, even if the opponent is her who can manipulate the future, you are already invincible. Besides, her situation back then was not much better than mine, and besides... that old man of time It may not necessarily have something to do with her."
"It's just comforting me."
"Not at all."
She said directly: "I am in the realm of existence blocking, and I am not able to predict and divination by ordinary prophets, unless I am at the same level as me and good at predicting and divination. As far as I know, only she meets these conditions One person, but most of my arrangements at that time were destroyed by accidental ground movements, if the magician named Weng Weng is really an amazing genius, maybe there is also the possibility of 'seeing'."
Su Qi frowned slightly, "Aren't you sure, I thought I found a real clue to clear the level this time."
He only watched one episode of animation for the plot of this world, and the system itself didn't issue a reminder, so he has been thinking about how to clear the level since he crossed.Recalling the trial experience of the previous worlds, he quickly grasped the key clue to deduce the conditions of customs clearance-the final boss.
The world of "Inuyasha" cleared the level after killing Nana, "The World of Shaman King" cleared the level after killing Queen Ye, and "Life in Another World from Zero" also cleared the level by killing the boss of each stage... Of course, this is not just a coincidence, but because the story often It takes contradictions to have a climax, and BOSS is often the embodiment of the root causes of contradictions.Among them, the ultimate BOSS is the biggest climax and the biggest source of contradictions. As long as it is solved, the main line contradiction can be solved and the level can be cleared.
So if Su Qi wants to clear the level, the first thing to do is to find out who is the final boss.In the previous communication with Luo Jielier in the Sage's Secret Palace, he found a clue to the suspected final boss, that is, the person who really caused the birth of the "Goddess of Wisdom", the president of the Magic and Magician Management Association, in the Vatican. The status is second only to the pope, and even the big man whose real power is even higher than the contemporary pope - the old man of time.
The reason for thinking this way is not only because of the doubts that Luo Jielier mentioned before, but also a very important reason - he is a member of the Holy See.
We all know that monotheistic religious forces like Catholicism and Guangming Deity are basically not good people, whether in China's online literature or in Riqingli.And the Weng of Time is one of the highest levels of Catholicism, and coupled with the doubts about his high technical skills in divination and prediction, it is obvious that there is only one answer... In the end, the boss is the Weng of Time!Or the mastermind behind him! (violent theory)
Well, although Su Qi was very skeptical, he also knew that these alone were not reliable, so he was not completely sure.
"Where are you going next?" Luo Jielier opened the book of sages again and read, "This country is the territory of Golden Rose, and it will be very troublesome to stay here for too long."
"The ingenious city of Liverpool." Su Qi looked through the car window and looked forward: "That is the center of this era, and it is also the place where the protagonist's journey to the harem begins. There might be clues."
Chapter 40 The Old Man of Time
Not long after Su Qi and others left the Holy of Holies, England, London, St. Paul's Cathedral.
The interior of the church is spacious and magnificent. Under the huge dome is a vaulted hall supported by square stone pillars. Huge murals of Jesus, the Virgin and the Apostles are hung on the walls, and brilliant and bright paintings are applied everywhere. The sunset is seen from the windows embedded with stained glass. Penetrating through, the entire hall was illuminated with golden red, as if overflowing with sacred brilliance.
At this moment, the church was quiet. The rows of wooden chairs used to receive prayers were empty. In the magnificent and empty hall, there was only a mysterious figure in a gray cloak guarding everywhere, looking around vigilantly. Faintly looking towards the rear, a small confessional room made of mahogany was placed against the wall in front of the high platform.
"Father, I need help."
In the narrow and dark confession room, the visitor finally pulled down his hood, revealing his gray hair, and a slightly pale, but naturally majestic and oppressive middle-aged male face.
"In the name of the Father, I will do my best if I can."
The priest's voice came from the opposite side. The clear and powerful voice did not show any oldness, and even seemed a little immature.
But the visitor didn't care, just opened his eyes, holding up his prestige like a lion, staring at the partition wall with a lot of holes in the middle, as if he wanted to see the other person's face clearly through the obstacles, and see clearly what lies beneath that face. Thinking about everything, "My son wants to kill his father."
While speaking, there was an angry look in his eyes.
"..."
"My wife wants to turn me into a puppet."
Hate and disgust emerged from the anger, and his face gradually became ferocious.
"How dare they!? How dare they do such a thing? What do they think of me... what do they think of me!?"
There was a moment of silence on the other side, and a soft and soothing voice came, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you."
The visitor narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a gloomy tone, "Father, you just said that you will do your best."
"If it's just to solve the doubts in my heart, or to confess my past sins, as a priest, I will do my best, but that's not what you asked for."
"Could it be that God can only give people psychological comfort, but can't help believers solve practical suffering?"
"Your Majesty should know that I am not a god, and there are rules that must be followed."
"Of course I know, but aren't rules meant to be broken..." He paused, then said in a deep voice, "If the priest is willing to help to stop the rebellious son and the wicked wife, I am also willing to help so that the believers in this country can come back to life again." under the leadership of the Church."
In the state of being emptied, this is the biggest hole card he can show at present, but...the other party said calmly without hesitation: "Unfortunately, the balance of the world depends on the existence of rules, and our rules are Only observe, not interfere, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After a while, the visitor put on a cloak and walked away quickly with his attendants with a gloomy expression.
The priest walked out of the confession room with a golden book in his arms. He was actually a handsome boy with blond hair, blue eyes, delicate and white skin, and a handsome face like Apollo's.He was wearing an ordinary black priest's robe, but he had a pure and holy temperament, and his deep eyes were full of vicissitudes, which did not make people feel too young or not dignified at all.
"godfather……"
A man in a gray cloak stepped forward respectfully, hesitant to speak.
The beautiful boy shook his head slightly, "Fate cannot be changed, and the principles of the association cannot be broken lightly, there is nothing we can do."
The former raised his head slightly and looked at the current president of the Magic and Magician Management Association, the world's number one prophet who is called the Old Man of Time in the magic circle, and the only living saint of Catholicism today. Still lowering his head, he said helplessly, "Yes, I respect your guidance."
Shi Zhiweng nodded slightly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly frowned, immediately let the gray cloak in front of him fall back, left the church hall, stepped on the spiral staircase in a little haste, and returned to the private bedroom on the top floor.
boom!
The door was slammed shut, he walked quickly to the desk, and threw the golden book in his arms towards the desk like a hot hand.
The next moment, seeing that the book was about to fall on the table, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then opened by itself, emitting light, condensing into a slender and feminine figure in a complicated dress and long skirt.
The figure was only the size of a palm, wearing a golden crown, dragging a long skirt, and his face was blurred, making it hard to see clearly.And if Su Qi was here, he would find that the dress and skirt style on her were very similar to that on Luo Jielier.
"That's rude, little Evan."
The open book was still suspended in mid-air, and the slender and beautiful, fairy-like female figure walked to the edge of the book without any haste, sat down leisurely, propped her cheeks, and looked down at the old man of time.
Yes, look down.I don't know when, Weng Shi, this big man standing at the top of the world, has fallen to the ground, his body is twitching and writhing, howling, struggling like a drug addict, his distorted face is full of pain, and he can no longer see The handsome appearance before.
Fortunately, this room has been soundproofed both physically and magically. Otherwise, the Old Man of Time would rule directly, and the Gray Crosses all over the church would think that the leader was assassinated and rush over to rescue him.
"How does it feel to experience the long-lost magical backlash again?"
After silently admiring Toki no Oeng rolling on the ground for 5 minutes, making the whole room messy, the doll sitting on the edge of the book finally spoke.
At the same time, the burning pain of the magic power flowing freely in the blood vessels like molten liquid in his body finally stopped, and Shi Zhiweng, who was drenched in cold sweat, tried to support his body, but fell to the ground again; He collapsed to the ground like mud, slowly turned his head to look up at the other party, and gasped, "You...why are you crazy?"
"It's really rude. In Little Evan's heart, am I the kind of moody and crazy person?"
The doll snapped its fingers, and Shi Zhiweng suddenly let out a muffled snort, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and his face became paler and paler.
"It's all your fault, little Evan. If you hadn't suddenly messed around and deliberately leaked information about that person to that stupid little fellow Jin Qiangwei, why would we suddenly have such a big trouble. "
"big trouble……"
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, "Is she awake?"
"Aren't you happy?" The doll's tone carried a dangerous smile, "Do you think that the appearance of my deadly enemy can destroy my plan, make me fall short, and save everyone?"
The beautiful boy named Evan sneered, "Aren't you...the omniscient and omnipotent god? Why...ask me?"
"Unfortunately, not yet, that's why I need to ask you, and that's why there was a mistake... Even if that guy was taken away by Jin Qiangwei, she shouldn't be able to wake him up with her ability, but why not only did she wake up?" , and left the coffin that I made for myself, so that the possibility of the future has been greatly changed?"
"I'm... very happy. Something... is beyond your expectations."
"You shouldn't be happy." The human figure sighed softly, "I am my disciple, your soul is in my hands, I made the prophecy must hit, the world's number one prophet 'Old Man of Time', you now have I gave you all the power, position and strength, so shouldn't you be devoted to me and be loyal to me?"
Evan gritted his teeth bitterly, "But the thing I regret the most is that I used my soul to trade with you, a demon!"
"It's really sad."
Even so, there was no hint of sadness in the doll's tone, but a very pleasant chuckle.The next moment, the unavoidable pain that enveloped the whole body struck again, Shi Zhiweng had lost even the strength to writhe, and could only lie on the ground and twitch, let out a hoarse and powerless roar like a dying beast.
A few minutes later, just when he was about to pass out, the pain that hit his consciousness like a tide finally subsided, and a cold voice came from above, "That guy must have an abnormal number beyond the original variable, a Within hours, you'll have to be ready to foresee the ritual, and let me see what's going to get that guy out of his coffin.
"Besides, while I'm tolerant and kind, there's only one thing I can't stand, and that's belittling me and calling me a fool for a fool. Evan, you've fucked up once, and I don't mind if you do it again. Moses and the others also replaced you, anyway, I have changed hundreds of times, I am very skilled in this kind of thing. So you better remember, don't violate our agreement again. "
At the same time as the voice fell, the human form turned into countless light spots and collapsed, and the book closed by itself, floating gently on the table.
Hehe, you killed me hundreds of times, and you still want me not to resist... If the plan hadn't reached the final critical moment, my personality would have been wiped out by the last mess...
Evan laughed back with hatred in his heart, but he finally didn't show it anymore, he just panted, looked at the floor nearby that was wet with his own sweat, and silently accumulated the physical strength needed for the ceremony later.
……
At night on the second day, in the suburbs of Liverpool, Hawke Manor.
In the middle of the flat and vast lawn, the luxurious main house with white walls and blue roof is brightly lit. In the past, it was dinner time at this moment, there should be servants coming and going, and the music was melodious, but now it is dead silent.
In the spacious and bright restaurant with luxurious crystal chandeliers, various silver tableware and silver candlesticks are placed on the long tables covered with white tablecloths, and various dishes on the dinner plates are still steaming. Viscount Ke was not in the mood to eat.
"Richard Hawke, the owner of the puppet workshop 'Scarlet Chariot', the behind-the-scenes controller of Liverpool's largest gang 'The Ripper', in addition to using the dark forces to secretly suppress competitors, do some murders and arson, smuggling In addition to the dirty things of ingenious parts and stealing other people's technology, the main 'business' is human trafficking...that is, secretly plundering people in slums and other places, and then smuggling them into high-priced taboo doll materials."
Su Qi sat on the table with his legs crossed, looked at the manor owner who was sitting on the chair with a big belly and was sweating, and smiled, "Mr. Hawke, am I right?"
I have something to do today, and I am missing a little, and I will make up for the missing one thousand tomorrow.
Chapter 41 I Want It All
"Who are you guys?"
Richard Hawke is a middle-aged white man with a little bald hair, a bloated figure, wearing a black and white dress, dressed like a gentleman, but with a temperament more like a businessman.
He looked at Su Qi who was sitting on the dining table in front of him, condescendingly looking down at him, and then turned his head to glance at 9536 and the others around them.
Just now, this group of people broke into the restaurant suddenly, knocked down all the guards and dolls that they hired at a high price, and knocked out the waiter. Now most of them are walking around in twos and threes in the messy restaurant. Looking around at the oil paintings on the wall or the decorations in the dining room, it looks like a group of mud legs just escaped from the countryside at first glance.
But except for the one sitting in front of me, the clothes on them looked like uniforms owned by some kind of organization, and the combat power that erupted just now was by no means comparable to that of ordinary people, or even ordinary magicians.Those poor ghosts can't even read or read magic books, so how could they possibly afford expensive Constructed Dolls?
Could it be that I accidentally offended someone I can't afford?
In the blink of an eye, he ran through the enemies and forces that had recently clashed in his mind, but he couldn't think of any force that could afford to send such a group of elite magicians to attack him. He could only force himself to calm down and straighten his back. Trying his best to suppress the tension in his heart, he said, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding between us."
Su Qi said with a half-smile, "I've introduced myself for you before, do you think I misunderstood you?"
