Chapter 17 Gradually Deepening

"0-02"... Klein repeated the number in his mind, feeling that the problem might be more troublesome than he expected.

Although it cannot be said that "0-02" is definitely more terrifying than "0-05", after all, the essence of the "Wishing Lamp" is a sealed outer god, which is more powerful than all the current true gods. It can definitely destroy this world, even this galaxy, but the higher number basically means that "0-02" is more dangerous and difficult to seal than "0-05" in most cases.

At the end of the Fourth Epoch, the Church of the Seven Gods ranked second in the serial numbering of the batch of "0"-level Sealed Artifacts at that time, second only to "0-01", and the horror of "0-02" can be imagined... However, "God of War" doesn't seem to use this Sealed Artifact in the battle of the gods... Is its type unsuitable for frontal combat, or is it too dangerous to be the same for both the enemy and us? One thought after another flashed in Klein's mind.

His expression gradually became serious:

"Ma'am, what do you know about '0-02'?"

Arianna shook her head slowly and said:

"When the major churches notify each other of '0' and '1' sealed items, they will only give numbers."

Also, even within the major churches, the information on the "0" level sealed artifact is strictly confidential. As a high-level person, they can only access the relevant information when they are in charge of a "0" level sealed object, and do not There is a small probability that the corresponding memory will be erased... On the one hand, it is to prevent the leakage of important information, on the other hand, for many "0" level sealed objects, just understanding them will cause danger, or make the seal invalid... ... Klein said thoughtfully:

"Didn't you already take over the Church of God of War?"

Then you can get all the documents of "0-02".

Arianna looked at Roy and others who were not far away and said:

"Larion destroyed all the '0' level sealed artifact information before fleeing."

Awesome... This kind of unusually cautious guy is really annoying... Klein's thoughts changed:

"What does the goddess say about '0-02'?"

In his opinion, "Goddess of the Night" and "God of War" belong to the same period of existence, and they are in charge of "secret".

In addition, the "0-02" level of Sealed Artifacts will not leave traces in history, and may have caused many disasters. It should not be unfamiliar to the high-ranking people of that era.

Arianna seems to have recalled this situation for a long time, and said without any lag:

"In an oracle in the past, the goddess called '0-02' the 'rule book'."

"Rule book"... This is even more terrifying... Klein's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard it, and he thought of a lot.

He was also a game lover in his last life, and he covered a lot of things, but he was not so addicted, and he was no stranger to the term "rule book".

At this time, Arianna added:

"The fact that you happened to come to Beldan City may also reveal some of the characteristics of '0-02'."

That's right, Ms. Arianna followed the Patriarch Larion to Beldan, and it was quite normal to encounter this mutation, but I happened to be here, which is a bit too coincidental... In mysticism , too coincidence often means something is wrong...

Who is arranging for me, or is it the effect of the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation? Judging from the current situation, the arrangement lacks sufficient purpose to prove it, and I am already the master of "Origin Castle", so I can more or less detect anomalies... If it is the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation, the exiled ones will be excluded. Mr. "Door" and the ancestor of the Antigonus family who were sealed in the foggy town,

Only Zaratul and Amon can affect me to this extent...

However, I have been deliberately avoiding Zarath all the time, and Amon's body is being chased by the "true creator". If it is just a clone, it will not be able to produce such a strong aggregation effect... Well, there is another possibility, the source The law of aggregation between qualities... "0-02" attracts "Origin Castle", which led me to come to Beldan just today?

If this is the case, even if "0-02" itself is not the source material, there must be a certain relationship with the source material... Klein, who had been skeptical for a long time, thought a lot at once, and had a preliminary and vague understanding of "0-02" grasp.

He thought about it and said:

"Judging from the development of things, the rules are gradually becoming stricter and more diverse, and the yellow paper is the evidence. Does this mean that the degree of activation or awakening of '0-02' is deepening little by little?"

Arianna nodded calmly and said:

"Yes, we must find it and find a way to seal it before certain situations come.

"So, it's better to split up and expand the search to save as much time as possible."

Klein had no objection to this, and thought for a while and said:

"Ma'am, you told me so much, isn't it a leak?"

"No." Arianna gave a fairly clear answer, "Leaking means that Berdan's mutation cannot be passed on to the outside world by any means."

This cuts off our substantial connection with the outside world... It's okay, at least we don't have to worry about problems in our usual conversations. In short, it's enough not to swear... Klein breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask:

"The Nighthawks and Punishers here will also follow the rules on the announcement?"

"Yes." Arianna replied in the affirmative, and then her figure faded and disappeared in place.

After watching the dean of the Evernight Monastery leave, Klein quickly sorted out the information he had just obtained in his mind, and gained some understanding of the next possible development:

The battle will not be the focus. The key issue is whether we can find "0-02" in time and find a way to seal it.

And in the process, they will be greeted by more and more complicated and difficult rules and driven citizens.

Thinking of this, Klein turned his attention to Roy and the others not far away, and asked with a smile:

"What do you think of what you just heard?"

Roy and Pasha glanced at each other and said:

"We don't know what a '0' level sealed item is, but we can guess that '0-02' is a very scary item that can make rules and rewrite reality to some extent, and it seems that such anomalies will Further changes over time.

"Also, the Patriarch of the Church of God of War should be a very powerful Beyonder."

Klein patted his palm lightly and said with a smile:

"It's almost like this. If we don't make any efforts and want to stay away from danger by hiding and evading, then we will need to pay attention to more and more behaviors, and we will commit crimes if we are not careful. Hehe, maybe in the end, we will He was executed on the spot for stepping on his left foot when he went out."

These words caused Pasha, Byers and others to panic and couldn't help themselves.

That kind of possible development sounds really funny at first, but when you think about it carefully, you can perceive the ultimate horror lurking within!

After a few seconds, Pasha said solemnly:

"Moreover, citizens can use all means against us, but we cannot fight back effectively, because homicide and intentional injury are very serious crimes..."

"You can try to deceive their senses, but it can't be used too many times." Klein said casually, "What we need to do now is to summarize the laws that '0-02' itself follows as soon as possible, so as to help us activate it Or wake up to real wisdom, find it, seal it, what do you think?"

Phil the Thief thought for a while, then said tentatively:

"It doesn't seem to be able to attack us directly, it can only be punished when we break the rules and commit crimes."

Klein snapped his fingers and said:

"Yes, I can first summarize such a rule: '0-02' cannot punish those who do not commit crimes."

Byers blurted out:

"But it allows citizens to hunt down strangers, who are not criminals."

"This is indeed a bit contradictory to the law just now." Klein responded with a smile, "However, in history, many cities have introduced laws to discriminate and drive out foreigners at different stages. Have you learned from this matter? Can you decipher some deeper rules?"

The four Beyonders frowned one after another, not quite sure what the powerful "magic" on the opposite side wanted to express.

After a short silence, thinking of the other party asking whether a certain behavior is considered fraud, Pasha hesitated and said:

"The rules promulgated by '0-02' must be in line with public perception and have been recognized to a certain extent?"

"Very good idea." Klein praised, "This is my guess based on the law to arrest foreigners, and I have obtained preliminary confirmation from your previous feedback. It can be used as the second rule for the time being. It can help us determine which actions are criminal and which are not."

Seeing that Pasha was praised by the powerful "magician" twice, Roy hurriedly added:

"It will continue to increase the number of laws and regulations to the level of complexity and cumbersomeness, thus restricting us and making us punished no matter what we do. Well, on the basis of arresting foreigners, we can add the crime of trespassing and prohibiting defecation anywhere. regulations, so that over time, it will be more and more difficult for us.”

Klein just nodded, agreeing, suddenly inspired.

He instinctively raised his head, looked at the notice board, and found that there was a piece of parchment on it at some point:

"The curfew order..."

"This..." Pasha and the others also noticed the change, and their pupils enlarged.

It was already night, and if they stayed outside for a longer period of time, they would violate the curfew order and be punished to a certain extent.

"Let's go, there's not much time left for us." Klein raised his hand and pressed the high hat on his head, and said with a smile, "Our target is most likely a book, and it may still be in that great pastor. The body of the head may have been hidden somewhere, and my intuition tells me that the latter is more likely, because that item is too dangerous for anyone, and will become more and more dangerous, of course , the premise is that the patriarch is not crazy, just simply use '0-02' to create an opportunity for himself to get rid of the stalker.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that the Patriarch is an angel walking on earth."

Angel... Roy, Pasha, and the others just took the steps to freeze again.
