Chapter 4081: God-worshiping Ceremony
After listening to Toda's story, Angel did not express any opinion, but asked Yota to continue paying attention to the eliminated people.
Then he went offline.
After Angel opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed.
He still remembered that before he went offline, Yota looked worried and wanted to ask something, but he restrained himself in the end. Angel could guess what he wanted to say, which was nothing more than worrying about the high-level existence taking action against others and worrying about the prospects of the resuscitator.
There was nothing Ingres could do about it.
If he could get more clues and intelligence about the hexagram life later, maybe Laplace could send a targeted person to explore Wanmengyun Port again. But now everything was unclear, and sending more people in might attract the attention of the other party and become a new target of observation.
Therefore, all they can do now is wait and see. Hopefully, the next eliminated contestants will be able to bring more clues.
After coming back to his senses, Angel first told Behemoth about Lu Loren's attitude.
He then shared the information he had obtained from Yota with Luigi and the Water Clone.
The water clone tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, his eyes thoughtful, "It's similar to what I guessed before. However, I guessed before that it might catch everyone on the Cloud Whale Bus, but now it seems that it didn't do that."
Angel: "What do you mean?"
The water clone said calmly, "Currently, only two Crystal Eyes have been interrogated and eliminated. There are only two possibilities. Either the rest have not been interrogated yet, or it has not captured the rest at all."
"I discussed this with my original body and Gleipnir, and we all think the latter is the most likely possibility."
Don’t look at the heart space, just the water clone is watching the live broadcast alone.
But in fact, the water clone itself is a "forum". Whether it is the original body of the Sea of Empty Mirror, or Gleipnir at the regular gathering of multiple races, or even the clones spread all over the Daytime Mirror Domain, they are actually discussing this journey to the Ritual World in the "forum".
When Angel told his water clone about Yota's information, it was equivalent to telling everyone on the "forum".
The water clone continued, "The reason is actually very simple. If we put ourselves in the challenger's perspective, we will understand. If I were caught, I would definitely think about why I was caught, and in the end I would definitely think about the Dream Crystal Origin..."
When the challenger thinks in this direction, he will find that once he mentions the Dream Crystal Origin or the Fairyland Copy to others, he will have a premonition of "death".
Once they receive this death warning, some of the elites of the Crystal Eye Clan will probably make the same choice as Toda.
Even though not everyone will choose to "die to escape from the cage", there must be people who would rather die than live in disgrace.
So, according to this logic, someone will definitely be eliminated voluntarily.
But so far, except Toda and Anta, no one else has been eliminated, which means no one has made this choice.
Then, conversely, doesn't this mean that no one is imprisoned?
Of course, there are definitely flaws in this logic. For example, it is possible that all these people have fainted, so there is no room for thinking.
But these situations are ultimately low-probability events. The water clones and other water friends on the "forum" still prefer the high-level hexagram life and did not capture the remaining challengers.
It is even possible that the remaining challengers are unaware of each other's existence.
Only in this way will they not actively choose to die.
"However, even if the remaining people are not caught, it is not a good thing." The water clone said: "We all agree that even if the remaining challengers are not caught, they must be being watched by the other side, or even secretly guided."
Ingres pondered for a moment and nodded.
He also agreed with this speculation, because...
"Like you said before, apart from Edward, Coleman and the Ice Girl have very bad luck. Similarly, the challengers from the Crystal Eye Tribe will probably not have good luck either."
——Their encounter with a high-status being might be a reflection of their bad luck.
"But with such bad luck, no one was eliminated throughout the whole day except Toda and Anta. This obviously does not conform to the theory of retrograde luck."
"So, there is a high probability that someone is secretly guiding or even protecting them."
"And this person..."
Angel raised his eyes and looked at the water clone, and they both saw the same answer from each other's eyes.
It is that high-level existence.
Only if the other party takes the initiative to guide or even secretly protects you can the negative impact of your fortune be compensated!
Of course, this is just a guess without evidence. After all, the reverse of fortune has not been confirmed yet. But even if we put aside the unstable variable of "fortune", from the objective facts, no one was eliminated all day, which is obviously abnormal. Especially compared with the "grand occasion" of yesterday's successive eliminations, today's calmness is obviously wrong.
If we work backwards based on this condition, we probably cannot avoid the existence of a higher level.
Therefore, regardless of whether luck exists or not, the group of challengers must have been secretly influenced by the other party.
Now the question is, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Water clones are considered bad things.
Angel felt that if the other party was just observing and guiding secretly, it would not be a bad thing, because in the process of guiding, the other party would definitely reveal a lot of information.
Under normal circumstances, when anyone enters a new world, it takes a long time just to understand the world and find ways to integrate into it.
Similarly, without the help of fairyland information, the challenger would be at a loss as to Wanmengyun Port and would waste a lot of time integrating into the world, and might even be unable to access the core secrets in a short period of time.
But if that higher-level being guides secretly, no matter in which direction, it will definitely be much faster than for the challenger to integrate on his own.
It is even possible that within a short period of time, one will be able to come into contact with the core secrets of Wanmengyun Port and even the Yi World.
So, if you look at it from this perspective, it’s not entirely a bad thing.
Of course, overall, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
"However, although the situation on the Resuscitator's side is not very clear now, we also have certain advantages." Angle paused and said slowly: "It is in the light, and we are in the dark."
"As long as there are more eliminated players leaving the game, we can continue to update the information about it."
Once the intelligence is complete, they can be more targeted when they subsequently send personnel into the "window".
However, the "targeting" here does not mean to confront that higher-level being. Currently, the gap in strength is too great and a confrontation is not possible.
Rather, the more complete the intelligence is, the greater their room for maneuver will be.
Once the room for maneuver is large, there will be more ways to escape. Maybe you can even find a way to trick it...
In short, they are not completely helpless.
At this time, the water clone also said: "Speaking of which, the main body has already started selecting new players..."
Angel: "So Coleman and the Ice Girl are really hopeless?"
The water clone sighed and motioned for Angel to watch the live broadcast himself.
Angel looked at the light screen not far away and saw that Coleman and the Ice Girl were still tied up in the empty factory building. However, the originally empty site was now surrounded by the scarlet figure.
Those people were wrapped in scarlet cloaks that covered their faces, with only their bony hands exposed.
The old man in red on the Yunjing bus was also on the list.
However, compared to the slightly simple cloaks of others, the old man in red is dressed very exquisitely, and his religious robe has a solemn feeling.
Its status is obviously extraordinary.
At this time, the old man in red was standing silently in the front, while the other thirteen people sat solemnly like statues, surrounding Coleman and the Ice Girl in the center, and their prayers seeped into the air like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
The ground was covered with red and gold powder outlining layers of bizarre symbols - twisted eyeballs emitting faint light, wriggling tentacles that seemed to be about to break through the ground, and naked totems that symbolized desire, interwoven into a dark ritual array that exuded a decayed atmosphere, as if to drag everything around it into the abyss.
In this gloomy environment, the Ice Girl still truthfully presented their prayers with frost mist.
However, their prayers were whispered silently, so the Ice Girl could not hear them clearly, and the effect presented was also intermittent...
"Tear the curtain of reality, upload the distorted consciousness..."
"Using the desire for divine intercourse as bait, worshiping the chaotic god that is in sight..."
"Struggle... Sacrifice..."
"Circling..."
They repeated themselves over and over, as if deepening the power of some kind of faith through the recitation of words.
But this prayer is obviously not right.
Although he didn't hear the entire prayer, some of the words sounded familiar to Ingres.
"Upload the distorted consciousness..." Angel repeated in a low voice.
Water clone: "Did you notice that too?"
Angel nodded: "It kind of fits with what was said on the crystal slate."
On the crystal slate of the window copy, there is a sentence engraved: "Offering flesh and blood is the cheapest way, uploading consciousness is the supreme way. -Olobas"
The prayer also mentions uploading consciousness, and there is also information about uploading consciousness on the crystal slab. Is there any intrinsic connection between the two?
Because there were no clues, Ingres didn't think too much about it.
But in addition to this sentence, there is another sentence that seems to have a metaphor: "Worship the chaotic god of sight..."
The core of this sentence is "worshiping chaotic gods."
To simplify it further, it means... serving God.
As for the Fengshen Sect, Anger immediately thought of the Fengshen Sect mentioned by Edward before! It is also one of the villains in Wanmengyun Port, and may even be the biggest villain.
“Could it be the God-following sect?”
"I can't be sure, but judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility that they are the God-worshipping sect." The water clone said this and couldn't help but sigh.
It's been less than two days since I entered the dungeon.
On the first day, he provoked the Bloodthirsty Faction, and on the second day, he provoked the God-Worshipping Faction.
Judging from the speed at which he gets into trouble and his bad luck, if he doesn’t encounter the God-worshipping sect today, he might end up in trouble with the descendants of the Creator tomorrow.
The water clone said, "Next time you enter, you must go find Edward first, otherwise the problem of your fortune will not be solved and you will not live long."
Speaking of this, the water clone couldn't help but think of the Crystal Eye Clan.
Although they were being targeted by higher-level beings, it seemed that this also solved their "fortune" problem, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Angel now understood why Laplace's main body had to start selecting a new punctual body, because it was really difficult for Coleman to survive...
The live broadcast was still going on. I didn’t know how many times these cloaked men chanted the prayer. Finally, they slowly fell silent.
Just as they fell silent, the old man in red took out a torch from the wall nearby, and used it to light the ritual formation on the ground amid Satan's continuous cursing.
The next second, intense flames erupted from the center of the formation, and distorted symbols emerged from the flames like living things. Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground, and bursts of white mist rose up.
As the mist rose, the Ice Girl was still using the frost mist to transmit sound signals: hissing.
But soon, the Ice Girl's voice signal was cut off.
Because after the intense red light, all that was left on the live screen was a mist of light, without any sound.
At this moment, there was no sound in the picture, but it was the picture automatically recorded by the Ice Girl's body mirror.
can be seen:
Coleman and Satan, who were not far away, had drooped down and had obviously lost their will. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have been in a coma.
Judging from the motionless scene, the Ice Girl should have fainted.
The old man in red had an expression of obvious joy on his face, and it seemed that the "ritual" was successful.
But the problem is coming.
If the ceremony was successful, why is the live broadcast still there?
If the ritual succeeds, shouldn't Coleman and the Ice Girl be "dead"? Once they die, won't they be eliminated?
As long as they are eliminated, their bodies will definitely disappear and the live broadcast screen will naturally go black.
But now, the live broadcast is still going on, but there is no sound signal from the Ice Girl to help translate.
This means that the Ice Girl and Coleman are not dead yet? !
But if he wasn't dead, why would the old man in red be so happy?
Angel turned to look at the water clone and Luigi. Their expressions were the same as his, both of them were confused.
"Are they...dead?" Luigi asked in a low voice.
The water clone indicates ignorance.
Angel was silent for a moment: "He should be dead, but he doesn't look dead... So he is, like dead?"
Just when they were confused, the live broadcast screen changed again.
The ground in the picture was cracking and the picture was shaking more and more, which meant that the Ice Girl's body was shaking unconsciously.
Bricks and tiles on the roof of the factory building fell off one after another.
Is this... an earthquake?
No, shouldn’t Yungang City be built on the sea of clouds? Could it be that the sea of clouds can also have earthquakes?
As Ingres was thinking this, the picture shook more and more violently. The bricks and tiles above his head fell more violently like raindrops. The thick dust and fog swallowed everything in an instant, and only gray and white noise remained on the picture.
A moment later.
The dust will eventually settle, but the picture after the dust settles does not become clear, because at some point in the picture, wisps of colorful mist floated...
