Chapter 699 The Crazy Bishop
"The end of the end..."
Wang Tao frowned.
This statement...seems quite appropriate.
It has been almost two years since the end of the world, but mankind has still not become extinct due to its tenacious vitality. But now if such destructive monsters appear on a large scale, humans may really not be able to hold on. After all, not even Wang Tao can defeat them, let alone other people...
While Wang Tao was talking to the bishop, the whale monster in the distance was almost invisible because all he could see was turbid water!
Countless buildings were washed away by floods, and a large number of zombies fell into the water, and their health bars quickly cleared! This is not ordinary water, this water is poisonous!
Fortunately, the whale monster is far away from the Dusk Church, and the terrain here is relatively high, so the flood will not reach the Dusk Church for the time being.
"Is it coming towards us?"
the bishop asked nervously. Although the flood did not come to them, if the whale monster came over on its own initiative, the flood would naturally be brought over by it. Then the Twilight Church will be in big trouble!
"No, it went south."
Wang Tao flew into the air and took a look, then shook his head and said.
Although the whale monster could not be seen for the time being, Wang Tao could see that the flood flowed in the south direction, and the Dusk Church was to the north.
"Huh - that's good! It'll be fine for now..."
The bishop breathed a sigh of relief.
He placed his headquarters here at that time so that the temperature at the seaside would be cooler and he would not have to worry about the high temperature. But now we can no longer live by the sea... The bishop suddenly looked at Wang Tao.
"We have to do something..."
"Huh? What to do?"
Wang Tao was a little confused.
Facing such destructive monsters, Wang Tao had no choice but to wait until they were about to die and pick them up... So Wang Tao was very curious about what the bishop was going to do.
The bishop looked very serious and said:
"You are already at the seventh level, and you can fly and move freely. Those monsters can't hurt you for a while... So why not go find that 'power that destroys everything'! As long as we find it, we may There’s still a chance!”
"It's okay for me to find it, even if it's a dead horse, but you can tell me what it is?"
Wang Tao was speechless.
Even now, the bishop is still hiding.
"It's not that I won't tell you, it's that I don't know exactly what it looks like. I only know that it is stronger than these destructive monsters! Anyway, as long as you can see it, you will immediately understand that it is what we are looking for. Target!”
The bishop was helpless. It's not that he lied to Wang Tao, he really didn't know what that guy looked like.
"Why do you know this?"
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
I don’t know if what the bishop said is true or not. Wang Tao feels that he is hiding something, but the overall idea is not deceptive.
If what he said is true, then he is just a sixth-level awakened person. Why does he know so much?
Wang Tao was very curious about this. This bishop was a bit too mysterious.
"Everyone has their own information channels. You may not know what I know, but I may not know anything about what you know. This is normal. Let's help each other. I'm not lying to you anyway. After all, we are now They are all grasshoppers on a rope..."
The bishop obviously didn't want to explain.
Wang Tao didn't ask any more questions. He thought for a while and said, "Okay. Then what? If you find it, what will you do next?"
"After you find it, you must notify me immediately, and just watch my operations later! Although I am not very sure, but in this situation, I have to give it a try!"
The bishop gritted his teeth and looked like he was risking his life, but he did not say the most important thing.
"I mean, what are you going to do?"
Wang Tao stared at the bishop with narrowed eyes.
"What do you want to do!"
The bishop suddenly backed away and looked at Wang Tao warily. He felt a malicious look from Wang Tao's eyes, so he said firmly:
"Only I know the specific method of operation. If I say it now, what if you leave me and don't care about the life or death of our Twilight Church? It's impossible for me to say it anyway!"
"Haha, the more you don't say anything, the more curious I become..."
Before Wang Tao finished speaking, the bishop suddenly made a sudden move and disappeared in front of Wang Tao. When he reappeared, he was already more than 20 meters away. He ran directly to the Dusk Church base without looking back. He knew that he couldn't defeat Wang Tao. After all, Wang Tao was already at level seven, but he could escape. There are many escape channels in his base. As long as he is allowed to return to the base, he guarantees that Wang Tao will not catch him.
But just when he was about to get into the tunnel entrance where he had just come out, Wang Tao appeared in front of him without knowing it.
The bishop instantly felt as if he could not move, as if a huge mountain was pressing on him.
Wang Tao looked at the bishop with a smile.
"You can't run away."
I can't deal with the seventh-level destruction-level monsters, but I can't deal with you, a little sixth-level awakener?
The bishop tried it, and after he was sure that he could not leave, he stopped struggling and sighed:
"Just give up, I won't say anything. This is my last trump card. Even if you kill me, I won't say anything."
Wang Tao could feel that the bishop was really unwilling to say anything and his belief was very firm. Even if he was tortured, he might not say anything. Because the bishop knew very well that as long as he didn't say it, Wang Tao would most likely not kill him, but if he did, it wouldn't necessarily be the case.
"Very, very courageous." Wang Tao smiled and then added, "But now is the end of the world, no matter what magical things happen, it will not be an exception. For example... let's see what is hidden in your mind. Although this will make You become an idiot, but as long as I can get what I need, I don’t mind getting some blood on my hands..."
Wang Tao was actually trying to scare him.
Wang Tao didn't want to use mental power to control him unless he had to. Because after all, the bishop is a sixth-level awakener, and there are four awakenings, namely the light system, the dark system, the system and the spiritual system.
Wang Tao can clearly feel that his mental power is very strong. He is the second most powerful person Wang Tao has ever seen. The strongest person is Wang Tao himself.
Although Wang Tao is at the seventh level, Wang Tao's field of law is not spiritual. Even if his mental power is very strong, he is not strong enough to control sixth-level awakeners at will, especially the bishop's mental power itself is also very strong.
If Wang Tao were to forcefully control the bishop in this situation, Wang Tao would be fine, but the bishop would probably become an idiot.
In addition to using mental power to control the bishop and make him speak out, there is another way, and that is Qu Shilin's [Memory Search]. This ability can directly look at the target's memory. It seems to be simpler than Wang Tao's method. .
But the problem is that [Memory Search] can only search the memory of some creatures with weak mental strength, low IQ, or those who have died not long ago, and the memories obtained are intermittent and very vague.
The bishop is of the sixth level, has strong spiritual power and is also smart. Qu Shilin is only of the sixth level, so the bishop obviously does not meet the conditions of "weak spiritual power and low IQ". Therefore, if Qu Shilin wants to search the bishop's memory, there is only one way, and that is to kill the bishop and let Qu Shilin search the corpse's memory.
But there is also a problem, that is, what Qu Shilin searches is not the complete memory, but intermittent ones. If you kill the bishop and you can search for what you want, that's fine, but if you can't search for it, then you'll never have the chance again...
Therefore, Wang Tao was deliberately scaring the bishop to see if he could make him surrender voluntarily.
"..."
When the bishop heard Wang Tao's words, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes. He was indeed frightened.
He himself is an awakened person of the spiritual system. He knows the magic of spiritual power. Although he does not have the ability to search memories, he knows that he must have this ability! If Wang Tao used this method on him, he would be finished!
"You can't do this to me! If I die, it will be useless even if you know the method! Then all of you will die!"
The bishop stared at Wang Tao.
"Oh? What do you say?"
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows. He felt that the bishop was not telling lies.
The bishop hesitated, but in order not to be made an idiot by Wang Tao, he finally gritted his teeth and said:
"You know, I made the believers of the church drink a lot of holy medicine. Those holy medicines can not only slow down their improvement in strength, but also bind them to me! As long as I die or become an idiot, , they will also die! And the 'power to destroy everything' I mentioned needs the help of these believers! This is also one of the purposes of establishing the Dusk Church!"
"You mean, you are bound to the entire Twilight Church staff?" Wang Tao suspected that the bishop was lying to him, but he didn't look like he was lying. "How did you do it?"
Wang Tao has met the believers of the Twilight Church, but their attributes are all very good, and they don't appear to be bound. However, according to Wang Tao's experience in the apocalypse for so long, there are some things that are not directly displayed. If they are not displayed, he will not be able to see them...
"This is an ability of mine that others cannot copy. Anyway, I have been bound to the entire Dusk Church! If they die, I will not die, but once I die, they will die! And as long as they die , then there will never be any way to change the current situation!”
The bishop's tone was decisive, and seeing Wang Tao still unmoved, he said again.
"And you don't think that the Twilight Church only has this many people, do you? This is just the headquarters. We have many branches all over the country. The total number of these people is one million! There are only one million people. Only by working together can we solve the crisis! No one person is missing!”
At first, Wang Tao felt that there was nothing he could do against the bishop, but when he heard what he said later, Wang Tao suddenly grinned.
"It only takes one million people to use your method?"
"……What do you mean?"
The bishop's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Wang Tao explained with a smile:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Tao, the most powerful person in the Changhe Survivor Base. The Changhe Base has a population of more than one million, and these people all obey my orders. We also have an ally, the New Red Maple Base, which also has nearly one million people. People. That adds up to two million people! So as long as I search the memories in your head, what if all of your millions of followers are dead? Someone is available!”
"..."
The bishop was a little dumbfounded. He knew that Wang Tao would definitely not be alone. He should have his own survivor base, but he did not expect that Wang Tao would have so many people! The combined population of two million people is indeed larger than his one million people!
Of course, it was possible that Wang Tao was telling lies, but he didn't dare to bet, after all, his life was at stake.
The bishop immediately shouted:
"No! Even if you have a population of two million, or even five or ten million, it won't work!"
"You are really good at finding reasons!" Wang Tao shook his head, as if he was a little disappointed, "Okay, then I will give you one last chance to convince me. If you still can't convince me, then I will follow my own ideas. It’s coming.”
While speaking, Wang Tao directly used his huge mental power to rush towards the bishop.
boom--
The bishop felt a little dizzy for a moment. Feeling the terrifying mental power in Wang Tao, the bishop had no doubt that Wang Tao had the ability to search memories!
"Wait! I said!"
The bishop took a deep breath, relieved his nervousness, and then said slowly:
"Do you think this 'power to destroy everything' is so easy to trigger? Even if you find that guy, there is no way to trigger it directly. There is only one way to trigger it, and that is to sacrifice, use human life to sacrifice... …”
"What do you mean?"
Wang Tao suddenly felt a little numb on his scalp.
"Yes, it's what you think." The bishop looked at Wang Tao with a faint look. "If you want to trigger that guy, you have to sacrifice at least hundreds of thousands of human lives at once. One million people is the safest! And you have to take the initiative. Willing to give of myself.”
"The holy medicine I have been giving them for a long time has the function of suppressing their strength and binding their lives to me. It also has the ability to control the mind! So they can die for me willingly!"
"Even if you have millions of people under your command, can you persuade them to take the initiative to sacrifice their lives? Obviously it won't work. After all, everyone has selfish motives. Even if they don't voluntarily sacrifice, they will die. If they voluntarily sacrifice, they can still make their compatriots Survive, but how many people are willing to sacrifice themselves to help others? So let alone the millions of people under your command, even if you have hundreds of millions of people, it is still impossible to find one million people who are willing to sacrifice!"
"..."
Wang Tao never expected that the bishop would set up the Twilight Church and develop one million believers just to get them to sacrifice their lives.
And Wang Tao could clearly feel that the reason why the bishop did this was not just for himself, he seemed to really want to save all mankind! At least that's what he thinks.
"Madman, really a complete madman..."
