Chapter 968 The Plan of the Abyss
"Maybe they planned this way at the beginning." Leo said his guess about this matter, saying: "Possessing Sergeant Tyrell and Priest Luther was not chosen randomly, but was planned in this way from the beginning. Yes. Their purpose is obviously not to infiltrate Lanxi City and spread the power of the abyss at all. Their purpose is to attack the credibility of the Church of the Mother of Filth in the power of the abyss. What happened to Tyrell can only be It was just an extra surprise."
When Sylvia and Alice heard Leo's words, they quickly understood the meaning of his words, and their faces darkened immediately.
"Did you make a mistake?" Alice asked with some reluctance to believe it.
"It can't be mistaken." Leo shook his head and said, "I guess the lifestealer possessed by the Luther priest did not completely infect the Luther priest. The will and soul of the Lutheran priest also had a strong restraint effect on the lifestealer. If there is no accident, then the Lutheran priest should be able to counter the lifestealer with the divine power of the mother of filth and return to normal. However, the Soulstealer obviously wouldn't give Priest Luther this chance. He followed my hand to solve Priest Luther and himself together, and by the way completed the planned purpose of framing the Church of the Mother of Dirtyness. In fact, during the battle, I I feel something is wrong, because the power of the life-stealer is too different from the power of the life-stealer recorded in my data, even if it is due to various restrictions and weakening, it should not be so weak, so the life-stealer must A lot of power was allocated to suppress the will of the priest Luther and the divine power of the mother of filth."
Sylvia frowned and retorted: "There seems to be a loophole in your inference. I remember that Lifestealer would not be so selfless and willing to use his life to carry out a plan?"
"I think the soul-stealer who possessed the priest of Luther did not think that he would not even have a chance to escape under my attack." Leo explained: "According to the life-saving methods of the life-stealer, if it is not If I make a move, in exchange for the gods and gods in Lanxi City and various means at all levels, he only needs to pay a part of the price to escape back to the abyss, so I should be the reason why his escape plan failed. As for selflessness, I think It may be that they are being controlled and have to take the risk."
"Controlled? Who controls them?" Alice asked in a deep voice.
Leo controlled the image on the screen, turned back to the entrance of the abyss, pointed to the black mist in the depths of the abyss and said, "It may be him."
Alice didn't understand who Leo said he was, and she had a puzzled look on her face, but Sylvia understood and confirmed, "The abyss snake?"
Leo nodded.
Leo has been paying attention to the movement of the abyss snake ever since he sensed that there was an abyss snake hidden in the depths of the entrance of the abyss. He originally thought that when the abyss tide happened two days ago, the abyss snake would come out to make trouble, but it turned out So the two lifestealers ended up possessing adventures, and the abyss snake didn't even see a shadow.
Now it seems that it is not that the abyss snake is silent, but that the abyss snake is hiding behind the scenes and manipulating and planning, disintegrating the solid defense system of Lanxi city little by little.
Lanxi City’s system of defending against the erosion of the abyss has always been extremely stable, especially the emergence of the Church of the Victims, which has made up for the defect in logistics. Therefore, judging from the records that Leo can find, the erosion of the abyss has a great impact on Lanxi. The adverse effects of the Black Forest world outside the city are also gradually decreasing. With the dozens of abyss tides that have occurred in recent years, all the adverse effects have been completely locked in Lanxi City. Only then will there be extra energy to fight with each other and expand the field.
However, now that there is a crisis of trust in the Church of the Mother of Filth, which is the core of this defense system, then this defense system will inevitably have cracks in its foundations, and it may even lead to the consequences of falling apart. If there is another abyss at this time If the tide is low, it is unknown whether Lanxi City can hold it.
Thinking of this, Leo didn't hide it, and explained his doubts and speculations carefully.
"Impossible! After one abyss tide, it is impossible to have a second abyss tide in a short period of time." Alice retorted immediately after hearing this.
"Yes, according to the data, the shortest interval between two abyssal tides takes more than 20 full moons, which is about two years compared to the time in Velen World." Leo nodded slightly, agreeing with Alice's It was said that the tide of the abyss cannot happen again in a short time, but then he changed the subject and asked again: "But what if the one that happened before was not the tide of the abyss?"
Hearing Leo's words, Alice was stunned, and retorted: "How is this possible? The power of the abyss that poured in the previous time was so pure and strong, and..."
"Where is the time?" Leo interrupted Alice's rebuttal, and directly threw out a doubt, saying: "According to the records I got, although the abyss power last time was thick and powerful, it can also be eliminated in previous abyss tides." It is in the top ten position, but what about the duration? If I remember correctly, the duration of the last tide of the abyss was the shortest, only equivalent to one-third of the time before it. If the abyss has some higher The race has the power to limit the time when the tide of the abyss will appear, and will the limited time be delayed?"
Hearing Leo's words, Alice couldn't refute for a while. Although the situation Leo said had never happened, she felt that this kind of thing might be possible, but it just didn't happen.
"What should I do now?" Alice asked the question that Sylvia had just asked.
"I don't know." Leo shook his head and said, "You'd better tell the managers of Lanxi City what I just guessed and deduced. The key is how they decide to deal with it. No matter how much we say here , to no avail."
Hearing Leo's words, Alice immediately realized what she needed to do most now, so she didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around and left the observation platform, heading towards the manager's city.
After Alice left, Leo adjusted the screen to Commander Tyrell, watching the other party lying quietly in the cockpit of the Titan mecha, at the mercy of the surrounding maintenance personnel, those abyssal mutations on his body The parts seem to be wriggling unconsciously, and no one has any doubts about it.
"I didn't expect us to miscalculate." Sylvia looked at the picture in front of her and said with a little sigh.
"Even gods will make mistakes, let alone us." Leo looked very calm, not at all frustrated by his miscalculations and being used by others, as if what happened before did not exist, and said in a calm tone: "And the other party has been planning for today for a long time, it doesn't make any difference whether we join or not."
Sylvia was silent for a moment, and asked, "When do you think they will do it?"
Leo thought about it for a while, and said, "It should be when the trust of the Church of the Mother of Filth is at its lowest, and all the maggot priests here are removed from the review."
"Isn't that going to happen soon?" Sylvia frowned.
Leo nodded and explained: "Because this practice of framing the Church of the Mother of Filth cannot last for too long, as long as the Black Forest comes forward, all doubts will be resolved, and even if there is no Black Forest to come forward, other domains living in the Black Forest The gods will also send out a sign to defend the church of the mother of filth, so the longer it takes, the more likely this plan will be debunked."
As Leo was talking, he raised his hand to turn on the universal recorder, and then activated an endless loop code written in the recorder, and sent it out.
Then, in the front image, I saw the Titan Mecha on Tyrell's body suddenly tremble violently, and then all the functional systems were shut down, and the whole mecha lay there as if it had been abolished.
All the maintenance personnel around were stunned, and soon they came back to their senses, and hurriedly began to check every part of the Titan mech, trying to reactivate the functional system of the mecha, but they were still unable to do so.
At the same time, Tyrael was also surprised by the sudden change of the Titan Mecha. He found that the Titan Mecha was as uncontrollable as scrap iron, and he was more like a prisoner trapped in this pile of scrap iron. At the mercy of those around you.
At this moment, he seemed to realize something, and when others didn't notice, he looked in the direction of the monitor, as if he had already seen Leo at the other end.
"This is a good way, first get rid of a guy acting as an internal response." Seeing Tyrell who was trapped, Sylvia smiled and said, "Give this guy to me! I can take his The source is drawn out, and with the source of a lifestealer as nourishment, we probably won't need to stay here any longer."
"Not for the time being," Leo shook his head, and said, "I'll paralyze the Titan Mecha now, and I can use the suspicion that Tyrell is possessed by a lifestealer as a reason, but if we attack him now, then our reason It will be untenable, but he will be used as a handle to attack us. Don’t forget that you and I also have the power of the high-level abyss race. You are Belmont, and you can explain it with the power of the abyss. I don’t quite understand it. Easy to explain."
"This matter will also involve you?" Sylvia frowned.
"Maybe." Leo responded uncertainly, and then said: "We have to think about everything in the worst direction, and think about how to deal with it, so as not to be caught off guard." After turning around, he added: "But there is no need to worry too much. I have the contract ring of the Black Forest on hand, and the imprint of the white deer's divine power in my body. Even if it involves me, two things can make me Get away easily."
While talking, Leo didn't pay attention to Tyrell's situation, and returned the image to the entrance of the abyss.
Now the situation over there has temporarily stabilized. Unless Tyrell wants to expose that he has been infected by the abyss and cause a large-scale abyss in his body, otherwise he will not be able to get out of the one-piece cockpit in the Titan mecha. According to the normal situation, he still needs an external life support system to maintain his mutilated body to carry out normal metabolism, at least on the surface.
As long as the life support system is connected to the main control computer, Leo can monitor every detail of his body through this life support system, and even do some tricks secretly.
Just as Leo and Sylvia predicted, the management of Lanxi City has become a mess. They are all confused by the news they just received. The maggot priest Luther has turned into the abyss and died. In the midst of the siege, this news seemed to them as absurd as a prank joke, because in their view, everyone in Lanxi City was corroded by the power of the abyss. It is impossible for Luther to be infected by the power of the abyss, let alone become an abyss.
However, at the same time as they received the news, there was also a complete surveillance video of Luther, the maggot priest, who had turned into an abyss, which made them believe that all this was true, and the most worrying thing happened.
For a long time, the divine power of the mother of filth has been the main force for Lanxi City to deal with the erosion of the abyss. Whether it is the holy words on the surface of the mecha or other items used by ordinary soldiers to restrain the power of the abyss, most of them are from the church of the mother of filth. It was created based on the holy words of the divine power of God. Although there are other divine powers added to it, those divine powers are only auxiliary.
A long time ago, some people in the bachelor's society worried about whether the divine power of the mother of filth would fail one day, and based on the deduction of the main control computer, it was deduced that the effect of the divine power of the mother of filth on the power of the abyss would be weakened or even lost. , What will happen to Lanxi City, the results are all the same, that is, Lanxi City will inevitably fall, the only difference is the time of fall.
This deduction also caused a lot of trouble in Lanxi City at that time, and even almost caused Lanxi City and the Church of the Mother of Dirty to turn against each other, because there were a lot of blasphemous words that were disrespectful to the Mother of Dirty in this deduction.
In order to ease the relationship with the Church of the Mother of Filth, the Bachelor's Association sealed up the deduction report and prohibited research on such things.
However, even so, there are still many bachelors who risk being disqualified as bachelors to engage in this kind of research, hoping to find a way to replace the divine power of the mother of filth when the divine power of the mother of filth fails, and become the core force against the abyss. The new force, of course, has no progress, but this concept of worry has always existed in the management, and now this worry seems to have become a reality.
"Everyone, what should we do now?" Someone asked.
"What else can I do?" A manager of the Sergeant's Association said decisively: "First put the maggot priest of the Mother of Dirty under surveillance, and notify the Church of the Mother of Dirty, and the priests and family members of other churches should also be monitored. , they are not allowed to move freely until security checks are completed."
"Security check? Who will check it completely?" a member of the Bachelor Association asked.
"Of course it is..." The sergeant manager was about to say the answer, but his words stopped abruptly, because it was only then that he remembered that the church of the mother of filth was responsible for the security checks that had been infested by the power of the abyss all along.
