A Will Eternal Chapter 743
? A group of people chatted while walking, in this way to relieve the pressure brought about by the increasingly mysterious environment.
The surface of the swamp was glowing, as if the light of the last quarter moon and stars had fallen.
But now, the sky is covered by dark clouds, and the ice fog is misty below, and the shimmering light on the water looks very strange.
The vision also included rustling black falling snow, which would melt immediately upon standing on the clothes, forming patches of asphalt-like oil stains, which not only looked sticky, but were also very permeable.
The swamp water with an average of 35cm seems to be under invisible pressure. Although the temperature has been lower than the freezing point for a long time, it has not frozen.
From Kane's point of view, the supernatural energy in this area, mainly the power of water elements and the power of darkness, is stagnant and violent. Only when everyone works together can they leverage such supernatural power and cast spells. Combined ritual spells can also be the power of faith.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally gave up and reminded others that their psychological pressure was already great, so it's better not to make it worse.
In fact, Oliver and the others also felt it more or less. It was a strange sense of alienation, as if this space had emotions and expressed an unfriendly attitude.
And they almost unanimously made the choice to not think about it as much as possible and focus on walking and chatting.
Looking down from a high place, what Moody led a group of people was not walking in a straight line, but winding, as if traveling in a valley between mountains, and sometimes there were large circles that almost turned back.
Compared with walking in a straight line, this way of walking more than doubles the length of the road. The advantage is that the muddy water never overflows people's knees.
Needless to say, people are aware of the dangers of the swampy terrain. Adding all kinds of bad factors on the extraordinary side, it can definitely be called a deadly muddy pond. Now it has penetrated more than ten kilometers and nothing has happened. Moody, the vanguard, is at the top. achievement.
Next is Kane. His role in stabilizing people's hearts is becoming more and more prominent. The combination of him and Moody is a nearly perfect guide.
Kane told others his views on Sino Island, although he didn't say much, but with the wisdom of everyone, he basically understood it.
But if you need to continue talking now, you have to take the initiative to find a topic.
Moody puts forward one: "The fringe area of Sino Island is so special,
So what exactly is the family of gatekeepers who have lived here for generations? Is it still human? "
"Basically." Kane said: "The houses in the port show that the gatekeepers are at least accustomed to the human way of life, and are willing to interact with humans from the outside world. This is much easier to get along with than some primitive human tribes in the dense forest. .”
Kane’s meaning can be understood by others in seconds—don’t look at the outside, look at the core, it’s great to be able to interact with humans and willing to use the products of human civilization. After all, living here for generations is bound to be affected by the environment here. Even if he was once a human being physically, it is hard to say whether he is still a person now.
Oliver added: "I have read some related information about the gatekeepers, which are very general. It is said that their customs are indeed strange, but there are no special taboos. Oh, and, the gatekeepers are all women. "
Moody came interested: "It's like the legendary Amazons fighting tribes."
"It's different, they don't need to borrow seeds from the outside world."
Moody asked in surprise: "Then how do they breed? Immortality is impossible, isn't it?"
"of course not."
"Supplied by Catholics collecting orphans from all over the world?"
"No, it's only been a dozen years since the Renai faction found Shino Island, and the gatekeepers have existed for thousands of years."
Moody swallowed his saliva and said: "Then the most possible way of reproduction I can think of now is to combine with some kind of creature from another world, guessing from the monsters we encountered, I feel that the scene is very dirty and very scary !"
Kane answered: "It may also be artificial insemination or even cloning. Although these are cutting-edge technologies that have not yet been popularized for the current human civilization, it is not surprising that the extraordinary side has been realized thousands of years ago."
Kane said again: "If this is the case, we have to be more cautious. The port area is obviously not built by the gatekeepers. It is at most a market, and it may even be the stronghold of us outsiders."
Moody said: "Now I am more and more curious about the gatekeepers. What kind of community are they like and what do they live on? Fishing and hunting? Farming?"
Oliver felt that this topic was not nutritious, so he ended it: "Our big ship has sunk, and I am afraid that in the next days, I will not be able to do without dealing with the gatekeeper. It will be clear by then."
Then he asked Kane: "Kevin, what do you think of the vicious incident on Sino Island? Who do you think our opponent is?"
When I was still on the big ship before, the operation organizer gave a briefing on the mission, mainly inclined to the speculation that the atonement faction stabbed Lou Zi.
Today's redemption faction is a mad dog that anyone dares to bite, and after getting the "Book of Sin", it is natural to turn it into a real help, so after going back to study it, I hurried to Shino Island again, It seems reasonable to try to attack the evil in the Maze of Myra.
But after the operation started, judging from the encounters, it is not clear what happened to the group, but the group B and the silence of the big ship are all caused by mythical creatures, and the taste is very authentic, sinister and secretive. Almost incomprehensible.
However, to be fair, the current situation is more like they, outsiders, broke into other people's territory, offended the other party, and were severely punished. Mythic creatures don't show much initiative.
At least for the members of Group B, this is the feeling. The dense forest before, the swamp now, and the earliest vortex in the port area are also counted. There is no necessary connection.
In addition, whether it is a dense forest or a swamp, it gives people a feeling that it has been deeply integrated with the natural environment for a long time, instead of being formed after a series of arrangements after occupation.
This makes people wonder, did they get the main situation wrong from the beginning, or did they just land on the wrong island?
"To be honest, I can't decide anything. If I have to guess, I'm more inclined to believe that Catholicism itself is the line of evil gods."
Kane's conspiracy theory shocked Oliver and the others.
After a long while, Oliver said: "Your guess is too bold. The performance of the benevolence faction can be said to be completely opposite to the cult. Even the extreme atonement faction has a lot of remarkable points before going crazy. Good performance. Could it be that these are all acting."
Kane smiled: "Why do you want to act?" He explained: "The reason why human beings characterize those unspeakable old rulers as evil gods is to judge them based on their own moral and ethical perspectives, combining benefits and harms. It is a conclusion of a positioning nature. This angle is actually very narrow, and it is not even enough to reflect even one aspect of the Old Ones, and how many aspects they have, humans do not know, nor can they imagine."
"A simple analogy, if the old ruler is a bear child, then he pours boiling water into the ant hole, or sprinkles food to watch the ants carry, for him, it is part of the game. But for the ants, it is the opposite feel."
"So, from the perspective of God, there is no difference between good and evil, good and evil, any kind of possibility has a high probability of existence, the premise is that if He is interested in playing."
"What we really need to worry about is those family members and our kind, because they are not detached enough, and they often have more specific demands for human beings, food, slaves, which involves hunting, conquering, and then they may play more tricks. For example, adding personal interests to the game."
Oliver was lost in thought.
And Moody's thinking is not deep enough, Kane's outline statement is enough to fool him, he said: "It seems very reasonable. Then erecting God is a member of the old rulers, and then?"
Oliver couldn't laugh or cry: "If that's the case, it means that Shino Island is the habitat of mythical creatures, and we are the unlucky ones who were completely trapped. What else?"
Moody was surprised and said: "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the Renai faction is also the black hand who tricked us? They want to declare war on the entire Tiancheng? Can't they? They also went crazy with the redemption faction?"
Kane answered: "Maybe it was driven crazy. If the Atonement faction has conclusive evidence in their hands, proving that the Benevolence faction is also an evil god, and they are not even good birds, and threaten them with this, then is it possible for the Benevolence faction to submit?"
"..." Moody had to admit, assuming that God is a member of the Old Ones is the background, then the probability that Kane's guess may be the truth is quite high. But he still didn't want to believe this possibility, after all, it was too subversive. He said: "Even if all this is done by the Atonement Sect behind the scenes, what is the motive? Our loss will only alert the various forces in Tiancheng, and even jointly encircle and suppress them. What good will it do for them who are already struggling? "
Kane hehe: "I know that the participants in this operation basically have extraordinary backgrounds. But I still have to say, don't take yourself too seriously. Even if you are the future leader, that is the future, a future with potential The death of the star is indeed regrettable and heartbreaking, but revenge also has a cost. You can't bet on the future of the entire force just because of one person. It is a bit indifferent and cruel to say this, and some people may refute it. If you only care about these things, then People's hearts have long been scattered. But think about it from another angle, what is the magic weapon for the organization's power to last forever? It is important to have a human touch, but it is also important to be concerned about the interests of all members, right? And the longer the history, the more important it is Benefits, this is the norm, right?"
Indeed, what Kane said was very heart-wrenching, but neither Moody nor Oliver could refute it. The fact is that the situation is more serious than what Kane said. If they died, even their closest relatives would not be able to take revenge regardless of the cost.
At this time, I heard Kane say again: "Of course, we don't have to belittle ourselves and don't take ourselves seriously. At least our opponents think highly of us. If this is really a trick of the Redemption faction, then the disappearance of prisoners in Montenegro Prison The collection of villains represented by the case, corresponds to us, what does it remind you of?"
Moody and Oliver answered almost at the same time, except that Moody answered heroes, while Oliver answered warriors.
This shows the difference in thinking between the two. Moody seemed more romantic. He defined this action as a just act of eradicating rape and eradicating evil. People who overcome difficulties are naturally heroes.
Oliver's views are more secular. He knows that people's motives for participating in actions are not pure. They have their own destiny, their own demands, and may even have ulterior motives. It is not worthy of being linked with the concepts of 'justice' and 'hero', at most it is 'courageous', so it is a warrior.
Immediately after blurting out, there was a chill from the bottom of my heart. After all, they have been in contact with extraordinary forces all year round, treacherous, heroes, villains, and warriors. Gathering such obviously opposite existences together, this is a typical example of what conditions are harsh to open. extraordinary ritual.
"You lied to us and used us as sacrifices! These bastards!" Moody cursed angrily, which could make people feel shame and fear. After all, judging from the current situation, the other party has basically It worked.
Kane felt that it was too late, he said: "If you really need a symbolic sacrifice, then it is often the quality rather than the quantity, the blood of the wicked, the soul of the warrior, the higher the quality, the better, how to get it? Naturally It is to raise Gu, and through the operation of cruel fighting, the final winner will be replaced. If this is the case, it is not surprising what we have experienced. Those who die are eliminated, not real sacrifices."
Moody said unconvinced: "Then let me play it off, we are all dead?"
Kane said calmly: "It means that there are not even those who have reached the passing line, so we can find a way to choose."
"Can you do it again?"
"Of course, saving us is a good reason. Didn't I say it, don't take yourself seriously. Within the cost range, there are still people who are optimistic about our future and are willing to invest to save us."
"..." After a while of silence, Moody said angrily and helplessly: "After listening to your speculation, my mood is even worse now."
Kane said: "Do you think my speculation is more likely to match the truth?"
"Well. And I hate being teased the most."
Kane said in his heart: "Of course, you are all proud and proud sons of heaven. When have you ever felt the experience of being manipulated like goods?"
He said on his mouth: "Then you can think about it from another angle. From the immediate point of view, what we are facing is a struggle. From the essence of this series of things, it is also a struggle. A theoretical examination, a fool, will not go If you think too high or too far, you only focus on the present moment. The wise man sees through everything. The conclusions drawn by both are fighting. Therefore, what we have to face is nothing more than fighting and killing. We can say anything if we win. If we lose, It’s useless to think about anything. You may say that it’s easier said than done, but you can’t deny that the truth is the same. Only the middle-of-the-road will care too much about various possibilities and worry about gains and losses. Instead of thinking about these things, it’s better to think about it How to win, at least you can't lose too ugly, Elliott and Cicero, it's a pity. They didn't even finish venting externally, they suffocated themselves internally."
There was another silence, and after a while, Moody said: "At least now that I have a self-consistent explanation, I feel that my heart is much brighter. I won't blow myself up. Even if I die, I will fight to death!"
Oliver also said: "Yes, he died in battle dignifiedly, rather than being defeated by his own cowardice."
Although Ellie and Ella did not express their views, the soul force field reflected their mentality changes.
Seeing that people's fighting spirit was awakened, Kane took out a fiery red bead from his pocket and crushed it directly. At the same time, he shouted: "Accept the blessing of the flame."
The fire exploded brightly, and four firebirds flew out of it, pounced on Oliver and the others.
Oliver and the others chose to trust Kane, and let the firebird turn into a warm current and blend into the body.
Immediately afterwards, the four of them couldn't help shivering, and then felt excited and their blood was rushing.
At this time, I heard Kane say again: "Keep this state."
The four quickly understood the significance of Kane's operation. It turned out that it was an opportunity to promote the common characteristics of the soul, and then achieve the effect of spiritual synergy. Kane was the dispatcher to leverage the high concentration of extraordinary power here.
After connecting with each other with the refined flame power he had reserved, Kane raised his hand and threw 7 fireballs. These fireballs drew different arcs in the air, each tracking the corpse puppet and igniting it.
This kind of ignition is like the natural nature of the human body in the legend. The body is burning, and the clothes are wrapped and so on, but they are intact.
And Kane's operation finally completely detonated the increasingly secretive and dangerous situation. The luminous muddy swamp quickly turned into a dark and turbid abyss, and bubbling bubbles appeared around people, and soon, groups of asphalt-like viscous matter rose like springs. Under the illumination of the fire, people could Seeing this formless substance that has a certain degree of similarity with the characteristics of Shoggoth, it is forming numerous tentacles like branches and leaves of a tree.
The Invisible Sons, a low-level servant race of the Old Ones.
They have a very close relationship with Tsogua, and people can usually find their traces in the temples of Tsogua or those caves that are not exposed to sunlight.
These changeable black creatures have bodies as fluid as liquids, and they have countless forms to choose from.
However, although it can change thousands of times, there is also a habit or not. The shrunken mass like a toad, or the slender shape with hundreds of underdeveloped appendages, are the most used and commonly used ones. All of these can be changed and completed in a very short period of time.
The fatality of this kind of creature is mainly its stealth and suddenness. They can seep out from tiny gaps, and they can also twist or expand their bodies at will. It is conceivable that when they lurk in those damp and watery caves, once they start to move, they will be caught off guard.
And the current appearance mode is obviously different from the general situation.
Letting Kane explain, he felt it should be said:
When a group of people entered this blurred area between the two worlds, the 'taste' (soul power fluctuation) had already penetrated to the other side. Thus attracting the attention of the nearby invisible son.
They couldn't make it through, however, because the group was trying to restrain themselves from giving them the coordinates that would allow them to manifest entities on the other side. The invisible sons refused to give up easily, they followed the scent all the way, gathering more and more.
The increase in the number of invisible sons makes the energy they carry continue to gather, thus forming a more powerful infiltration result, and the influence formed on the side where Kane and others are is becoming more and more intense, which is why the environment is becoming more and more powerful. Mysterious reason. They and their party have long been surrounded by a large number of alien sharks. Seeing that this continues, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
Kane has always had a timer in his heart. He knows that if he does not take the initiative to break the deadlock now, and wait until the boundary collapses and let the invisible son take the initiative, then the situation will be much more dangerous.
So he took the initiative. And the unity of the soul power of the five people can certainly allow him to leverage the rich extraordinary power here, but it also forms a guiding light. Because of the lack of emotional power (fear), this is not a good coordinate, but it is a coordinate after all. The number of invisible sons on the opposite side is huge, after all, they came over, so there was the scene in front of them.
