Chapter 308 Mamen and Danbai Incident
"Mammon's specifications..."
After hearing Russell's words, Bad Day was a little hesitant.
He lowered his head again and glanced at the disaster sent by God, and shook his head: "I don't think it may be possible. Mammon is the highest level demon that was perfectly hatched. It has the tenth level of spiritual power, and even the elf directors are difficult to fight against.
"The church did not thaw the mechanical angels at that time... With all the forces uniting together, the victory over Mammon still came at a huge price.
“In order to solve this problem, even we at the Tower of Babel were mobilized.
"I wasn't born yet at that time. But I also heard the deer-headed statue say this."
"...What kind of demon is Mammon?"
Russell couldn't help but ask: "Is it codenamed Mammon, or is it just called Mammon? What is the situation of the Danbai incident?"
"It's pronounced mammon."
Bad Day seriously began to tell Russell important information about Mammon, and at the same time it seemed that he wanted to tell the Inferior and the Birds of Paradise these secrets: "This seems to be one of the many languages left over from the past era. Miss Huatouch said, this demon The name translates to 'worldly wealth' and comes from a 'dead language' in which all users have died long ago.
“The host of Mammon is a very greedy wealthy businessman.
"He has been amassing money at all costs by various means since the time on earth - he is an old businessman who lived from the Islamic War to the Sky Island Period. It is said that in ancient times, people did not have so-called "nothing" when trading goods. credits, but use some specific metals as currency.
"The most expensive currency among them is forged with 'gold'. And the host of Mammon has hoarded a total of 860 tons of gold... You may not understand what this concept is. But in short, on the ground At that time, he was the richest man in the world. He could even buy several kingdoms easily. Of course, he did not start from scratch, but was the last heir of a certain family at that time."
"Wait a minute," Russell suddenly realized something, "Since he is so good and a member of the family, why is he a short-lived species?
"This kind of person... actually failed to become an elf in the end?"
Hearing this, Paradise Bird looked over with some doubts.
But Bad Sun just shrugged: "The specific reason is not clear. It may be because the elves hate him...or maybe they think he is too aggressive. After all, most of the elves are still research talents and art Talent-like people. Although they are more or less engaged in business nowadays, I am afraid they still hate this kind of businessman who is too pure in nature. Of course, I am just guessing...who knows.
"In short, at the end of the old wealthy businessman's life, when he used various means, coercion or begged the elves to transform him into an elf, the elf still chose to refuse.
"The elves are only willing to perform various surgeries on him to extend his life. But they are still unwilling to give him true immortality. And he has nothing to do with the elves.
"When he lived to be one hundred and twenty years old, his descendants were dead, 90% of his grandchildren were dead, and some of his great-grandchildren had died of old age. Eighty percent of his organs had been replaced with prosthetic bodies, but He still didn't want to die, he was almost crazy at that time.
"And when he walked into his vault for the last time... Mammon came.
"——A huge monster made of eight hundred and sixty tons of gold. It sparkled in the sunlight.
"The skin and hair of people illuminated by that light will gradually lose color, regardless of whether they are covered or not. The originally black hair will gradually turn into brown or brown, then gold and gray, and then white. When the hair and skin completely change When it becomes pale white, the person will completely lose his 'heart'... From the beginning of fading to completely pale white, the whole process will not take more than half an hour.
"Whether they are brave men or saints, or even the earthly saints of the Cyber Church. After they are completely faded, they will completely lose their existing emotions and memories. All the power, spiritual energy and spells they originally held will be wiped out. into blank.
"Although people are still alive and can still live, talk and work normally...but they are living like zombies. They have lost their dreams, hope and love forever, their faces are always so pale, and their light-colored pupils have become empty. Godless. If the 'pale white' continues to receive the illumination of Mammon, its soul will begin to be extracted by Mammon, and it will attack the surroundings indiscriminately, plundering all valuables and returning them to Mammon, increasing the size of Mammon. Also In other words, they became the familiars of Mammon.
"The children they gave birth to also had white hair - even if their spiritual relatives did not have white hair. This is why most of the residents of Tongshen Island today have white hair."
Russell frowned just listening to Bad Day's story.
He felt a little weird.
"...How did you defeat such a powerful monster in the end?"
"You still want to win?"
Bad Sun asked back: "That means Mammon has no desire to fight at all, otherwise its extremely huge body alone could destroy Tongshen Island.
"The result of the test of the Sanshin Heavy Industry is that if you don't attack Mammon directly, you will not suffer a counterattack - if you use equipment to dig, it will be regarded as an attack, but if it is a person of flesh and blood...especially a poor person who digs, Mammon will The mammon will forgive them and allow them to take some of their gold. But if they take too much at one time, mammon may become angry.
"But the chaos after the arrival of Mammon caused the death of more than a thousand people. These more than a thousand people were basically killed by their own people... because at the beginning, the pale ones lost their minds and attacked randomly. , just like zombies. People suspected that this might be some kind of virus, so they killed all the mutants.
"So Tongshen Island finally dispatched laborers to dig at night. They only took seven or eight gold bars at a time, or turned around and ran away with a dozen gold coins. At this level, Mammon would completely ignore the opponent.
"Then they put these magical gold coins separately into completely enclosed black boxes. Otherwise, even if they are taken away from the original body, the 'Mammon Gold Coins' will still make people gradually fade.
"The Shen Zhi Heavy Industry chose to do it at night because the reflection caused by moonlight is much weaker than that of sunlight, at least it is easier to get closer to the past. They have also tried changing the celestial phenomena to cover the sky, but if Mammon cannot be illuminated, they will become anxious and start to Move towards the light source.
"After all the volunteers on the entire Tongshen Island took a turn, the size of Mammon had been greatly reduced. But at that time, everyone had entered a dangerous critical period, and they might fade away if they were exposed to the light again... …
"Tongshen Island sent a rescue request to other air islands, but no air island responded. Only some lower-level priests of the Cyber Church responded to the call and went to Tongshen Island."
"Where's the dragon?"
Russell couldn't help but ask: "Didn't the dragons react at all?"
Bad Sun frowned: "The dragons are taking action, but their actions are very strange. They seem to know some secrets of Mammon, so they specifically emphasize that the elf directors are not allowed to forcibly arrest others, and the victims must be voluntary. The dragons are not unreasonable. Pay attention to this matter, but they neither organize and call for a rescue team, nor prevent others from going voluntarily, they just do not allow any force to force others to participate... We tried to capture some prisoners to do these things, but were stopped by the dragon.
"When the Cyber Church completed another round of moves, only a small piece was left. Not only did people from other Sky Islands not come, but many of the people on Tongshen Island were unwilling to help. In the end, it was those who had already moved out. After a round of volunteers, they stood up again and paid the heavy price of 4,000 pale white warriors to completely seal Mamen. This time, the pale white warriors were not attacked and killed, but took control.
"After Mammon was sealed, they became relatively normal... and were able to generate new feelings and memories. But the previous feelings and memories were still destroyed by the power of Mammon. In order to take care of their lives, SanosHI Heavy Industry took them Received as employees.
"After that, every year on Tongshen Island, oneself, one's family, and one's neighbors gradually fade away because of hiding Mammon gold coins. It has been like this for seven or eight years, and Shenzhi Heavy Industry has repeatedly asked to hand over all heavy metals. Then there was relief.
"It was also since then that 'credit points' completely replaced all old transaction models. Specific metals can no longer be used as currency... This is also for safety reasons. After all, no one knows whether the precious metals they get are part of mammon.
"In the rich businessman's treasury, there are not only gold coins and gold bars, but also some silverware and jewelry. But these things should have been destroyed and re-melted by Shenzhi Heavy Industry."
Bad Day spread his hands: "I know what you suspect. I have also suspected this - the material of the mind protection chip may contain part of mammon, which is why the chip cannot be copied. After all, I don't really believe that, just The awakening of psychic powers can be prevented by making people faint with electric shocks.
"Would a person who was truly in pain forget his pain because of a brief fainting? If that were the case, then how could he use alcohol to relieve his sorrow or just electrify the chip?"
"That makes sense..."
Russell nodded, exhaled, and changed from his "detective" appearance back to his original posture. I felt somehow relaxed.
He had guessed part of it before.
What he couldn't understand was how could a demon like Mammon be used by psychics all over the world?
But it’s understandable if Mammon’s specifications are so large. It becomes completely reasonable.
He also knew why the "Danbai Incident" had not become "history" banned by the dragon, but he did not see any details on Sogo Island and Happy Island.
But this also confirms that Russell's idea is correct.
"This does prove from the side that Thoth's psychic energy does have the technology to turn demons into raw materials to make certain items. And it can also retain part of the properties of the raw materials..."
Russell murmured, looking expectantly at the disaster coming from the sky, and his tail kept wagging slightly.
He wanted to add a small buckler to his prosthetic hand.
I hope Mr. Misfortune can grant Maomao this little wish...
