Chapter 726: Iceland Shock (247)
"owl?"
Seeing an outsider come in, An Xuefeng burst out with the speed of a man who had been single for decades. He blocked Bingyi tightly in an instant, and then quickly wrapped him in the tour guide's cloak. But out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the owl that Yu Hehui threw in. An Xuefeng's heart froze, and he directly pulled open his collar to expose most of his chest, allowing his naked body to seamlessly block the live broadcast.
However, although the live broadcast has been blocked, only Yu Hehui can see the scene in front of him. If it were An Xuefeng's own body, he would certainly not worry about his brother, but An Xuefeng is now using Wei Xun's puppet body, and he does not want to Let the spring light be exposed for too long. He had been prepared, and the bare chest connection was just an emergency. Soon An Xuefeng took out a crown and put it on, and then took out a golden bell.
"jingle--"
A clear bell rang, and the owl that was flapping wildly in Bingyi's hand succumbed for a moment, allowing Bingyi to take the opportunity to grab its two wings like a chicken, making it unable to move. Then Bingyi looked at the crown on Ah Feng’s head with great interest and the golden bell between his fingers: “What is this?”
"This is the crown of Garuda's horns and the Golden Bell of Garuda, things from the north of Tibet."
An Xuefeng said that the five-piece set of Dapeng Garuda (eagle flute, coat of arms, necklace, golden bell, and crown) is exactly the five items of Xiangxiong survivors that Wei Xun collected when he completed the main mission of exploring northern Tibet. The title 'False King' will be activated when there are any two items. This is a title that can block the live broadcast!
Before entering the competition, Wei Xun had a hunch that something to block the live broadcast footage would be used. Although the use of various props is restricted in the competition, the items collected by completing the main mission are still different. They are 'Shangshung survivors' items', not counting hotels. The 'props' that are rewarded or sold are all 'real items' that Bingyi obtained during his journey, and the restrictions will be weaker. At most, it is due to the different acclimatization of the myths and legends system that the power is weakened, but it does not mean that it cannot be brought in.
The weakened power is also the power of these items themselves. The effect of blocking the live broadcast brought by the false king title cannot be discounted. The hastily set up tent had little space, so shielding him alone was equivalent to shielding the entire tent.
Next to him, Bingyi was already asking Yu Hehui to explain everything in detail. As Yu Hehui described it, An Xuefeng looked at the owl in Bingyi's hand, focusing on its face. He saw that it was not a human face but a serious owl with big eyes, and its expression was reversed. More solemn.
"Is this all the bones?"
"That's right."
"No skull?"
"No."
An Xuefeng gathered the bones of Angel of Dawn into a pile, and then quickly pieced them together in the tent. In an instant, he had assembled a complete left arm bone, left hand bone, left leg bone and left foot bone. Eyebrow, An Xuefeng also took out the bones of little George. An Xuefeng picked and completed the ribs on the left side and some other bones.
The space in the tent was too small. Judging from the skeleton, George was at least 1.9 meters tall. The assembled bones could not be fully displayed, but he could roughly see his half-assembled skeleton. Bing could see clearly with a sharp glance that he couldn't tell the difference when Little George's bones were connected together, but after An Xuefeng took them apart and put them back together, the tiny difference between the bones he picked out and the bones he discarded became more obvious. The bones of the former are crystal clear, as if they are emitting light from within, while the latter is just golden on the surface, but lacks a lively charm.
Just like some archaeological excavations found that the skeletons in some coffins were not entirely filled with gold carvings, golden bones are still different from normal bones.
"So that's it."
Seeing the skeleton put together by An Xuefeng, Yu Hehui understood and couldn't help but sigh: "It's far away in the horizon, but close in front of you."
They kept digging to see how much foreshadowing Black Widow had laid in the match, and why George could appear next to them at regular intervals tomorrow. As soon as Bing referred to the bones left by little George to break through and obtain the title of Lost Joy, Yu Hehui seriously suspected that the Black Widow had left George's Angel of Dawn power in these bones, but they did not expect that the Black Widow would do something even crazier.
She was so bold that she put the real remains of the Angel of Dawn into little George's body and delivered them to Bingyi's hands! As long as Bingyi carries the bones with him, those 'Georges' will naturally appear next to him every day following the aura of power. The false angel Dawn Angel is the biggest bait and the biggest catalyst, attracting the invasion of the outer gods and the arrival of the real angel.
And now, Black Widow has handed over more remains of Angel of Dawn to Bingyi, obviously choosing his side completely and deciding to take action. But Yu Hehui didn't understand.
"Why is there no skull?"
Bingyi pondered: "Where is A5 (Little Witch)?"
He remembered that A5 seemed to have met many Georges, and even got a headless angel statue, and found clues to the angel's head. The angel's head was found in A5.
However, An Xuefeng and Yu Hehui looked at each other and shook their heads slightly: "I'm afraid not."
The little witch is obviously a target set up by the Black Widow. At best, she has some power from George. The real remains of George are definitely all in Bingyi's place. It's strange that Black Widow didn't give him her head as well. Everyone knows that at the launching ceremony of the Mutual Aid Alliance, the Puppet Master gave the head of Angel of Dawn to Bingyi as a gift, and Bingyi gave it to Black Widow. , this head must be in the hands of Black Widow, this is correct.
This skull is undoubtedly the most important thing. An Xuefeng still remembers what Wei Xun told him about the function of the skull. It is the only part of the Dawn Angel that has not been deformed. After taking it, the user will inherit the entire series of titles of the Dawn Angel, including the most important two orange titles of 'Dawn Angel' and 'Absolute Cure' and five purple titles.
The most important thing is that after using the skull, the user will become the unique Dawn Angel in the world. It is difficult for anyone to resist this temptation, but Bingyi resisted it and gave it to Black Widow.
Then why didn't Black Widow return it?
Did Black Widow still have reservations? Or did the puppeteer tamper with the skull, so she didn't give it to Bingyi?
"If George wants to truly get rid of the identity of the God of Light Balder and become an angel, the skull must be indispensable."
Bingyi said firmly. Even if he has no past memories, he has a say in this matter because he has melted his bones into Balder's soul twice. Little George's skeleton contains the ribs of the Angel of Dawn, so wings can be born after fusion. It can be seen that the position of the bones is closely related to the change. Without the skull, George cannot really come back to the world.
"The skull is crucial."
Yu Hehui also said that just looking at this sentence, 'The crystal skull of the Angel of Dawn is the only part of his body that is not deformed', it is known that only with the skull can the complete and real George be resurrected. If there is any deformation, the resurrected one is likely to be a monster.
"It's not that she doesn't want to give it."
At this time, An Xuefeng, who had been silent and thoughtful, spoke, and his sharp eyes moved away from the skeleton and fell on the snow-white owl in Bingyi's hand. It seemed to be tired of struggling, and its hair was blown up and stopped moving. Its big round eyes stared at the bones pieced together on the ground of the tent. The eyes were beautiful, but there was no wisdom and human light. It looked like a pure bird of prey.
"I'm afraid George can't hold on."
An Xuefeng said slowly, and the end of the words turned into a sigh.
He had met George. How could there be no intersection between the strongest new tourists in the East District and the strongest new tourists in the West District? Especially since tourists are not subject to as many restrictions as tour guides, traveling abroad is a common thing. It must be said that even though An Xuefeng is not interested in religion, George is indeed a good person, honest and friendly, full of love and hope for the world.
An Xuefeng has a pair of sharp eyes and can tell who is a real good person and who is just a persona. George is the former. And George is also very optimistic about him. The two of them are considered to be a gentleman's friendship, appreciating each other and caring about each other. An Xuefeng had heard about the "George and the young poisonous spider eloped" case that was a sensation at the time, but he sneered at the sayings of many people that "the young poisonous spider is a snake and scorpion poisonous beauty like Daji, who has bewitched the Son of God and lost his soul" and "it is difficult for heroes to resist the beauty".
This matter cannot be blamed on women. According to An Xuefeng, even if there was no young poisonous spider, George would sooner or later part ways with Whitechapel. Their most fundamental concepts are not in line.
No one in the hostel wants to regain freedom, no one wants to die, everyone tries to live in their own way, especially the top multi-generational brigades and tour guide alliances, all of which have their own understanding of the nature of the hostel.
Just like the first brigade in the West District, White Church, they believe that the world has been polluted and collapsed to this point, and it is the sulfur poison in the abyss that has spread and polluted the human world. The existence of the hostel is to patch up the gap between hell and the human world, but it takes hundreds or even thousands of years to patch up. In order to prevent the human world from being completely destroyed, travelers and tour guides are summoned. Those tour guides or travelers who have awakened the title of demons are compatible with the pollution of hell, and they absorb the pollution and poison for the human world.
As long as they absorb all the pollution and kill them all, the poison that penetrates from hell will be eliminated. As long as they kill generation after generation, one day the hostel will patch up the gap, and there will be no more pollution left in the human world. By then, no one will be selected, and the world will return to peace.
It can be said that the travelers in Whitechapel are a group of martyrs with firm faith. They spend their whole lives to remove filth, and they are devout and persistent. With the belief that they will go to heaven after death, the "life" in this world is no longer important to them. God has entrusted them with a heavy responsibility. Compared with this, their own lives are so small and not worth mentioning.
The travelers in Whitechapel are strong because of their firm faith and fearlessness of death. They will not be weak and shaken by life and death. At the end of every decade, everyone in Whitechapel will happily go to the battlefield and self-destruct-even if they kill "demons", but killing is a sin, they will also face their sins generously until their bodies are engulfed by the holy fire of heaven, which is a perfect life of dedication.
But George doesn't think so.
'Are tour guides born with original sin? They suffer from incurable diseases in reality, and they have to endure the pain of connecting to the abyss in the hotel'
An Xuefeng still remembers that when he talked to George once, he sighed: 'Is there really a heaven in the world? She said she had seen many angels, and those things were just the product of people's consciousness and thoughts. The 'angels' did not punish and kill her just because she was a creature of the abyss, so what qualifications do we have to kill her? '
An Xuefeng is not religious, but he knows how serious it is for a person who has always had a firm belief to be shaken, and he also feels how deeply that 'she' has influenced George. He did not comment on George's belief, but just calmly said that everyone should have their own choices and not be too deeply influenced by others. It is not a good thing to lean from one extreme to another.
At that time, George only said that he would not escape, and An Xuefeng didn't know whether George listened to him or not. Anyway, soon after that, it was reported that George and the young black spider were in the same team, and then opened up the Babel Tower of Babel, a journey to the 30th degree north latitude.
Later...
'No one is born to die, at least everyone should be able to decide why they die'
That was the last time George met An Xuefeng after he left Whitechapel. It was difficult for tour guides to cross regions, so George came to see An Xuefeng alone. There were rumors outside, and George was thinner, but his eyes were particularly bright, as if burning with flames. An Xuefeng was in the mood to compete with him, and was surprised to find that George was obviously a false angel of dawn, but the power of holy light was stronger.
'Since the real angel is just the evolution of people's will and thoughts over thousands of years, then the false angel also represents the truth. '
George smiled: 'Whitechapel is on the wrong path. No one is sinful, and there is no heaven. We are just people struggling to survive. Only by relying on ourselves can we find a glimmer of hope. ’
‘What’s the hostility between heaven and abyss? It’s better to combine the power of both. Maybe guides and tourists should work together.
‘So you choose to connect with the poisonous spider? ’
An Xuefeng asked. George didn’t comment. When he talked about his connection with the poisonous spider, his eyes were full of tenderness. Obviously, it was not just struggling for survival, but also real feelings. An Xuefeng noticed that George hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he said nothing. He just shared and exchanged the token of 30 degrees north latitude with him.
At that time, An Xuefeng had already opened up the pyramids. The token of the Pharaoh’s Pyramid was a miniature pyramid statue, and the token of the Tower of Babel was a well-preserved owl corpse. According to George, they dug up this owl corpse in the deep pit of the Tower of Babel ruins, and then used it as a medium to open up the Tower of Babel.
‘Be careful not to touch here, it’s poisonous. ’
George pointed to the position of the owl’s neck to An Xuefeng, and saw that there were two small pointed fangs embedded in it, soaked in the black spider’s venom.
‘If she hadn’t poisoned the mummy, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be alive to talk to you now’
Opening up the journey to the 30th parallel north is naturally full of dangers. The poisonous spider gave up her poisonous fangs to seal the owl mummy, but she gave the glory of opening up the journey to George. It was not a whim between the two to be able to transfer such a large benefit. Entering the hotel, you can still find your other half. An Xuefeng sincerely wishes them happiness.
George still hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing. They gathered, met, and parted as they did in the past. Not long after, news of George’s death came. The poisonous spider took over the top orange title Black Widow and took over the Tower of Babel. For a time, she was the most popular. Many people say that Black Widow played with George and abandoned him when she had enough fun, but An Xuefeng doesn’t think so.
He still remembered that during a trip to Iceland, Black Widow paid an unknown price to become the tour guide. She found An Xuefeng, holding an owl in her arms, and asked him with hope that George had come to find him in the end, whether he had left any words for him, and whether he had left any way out for himself.
An Xuefeng looked at the owl, which was the token of the Tower of Babel, but it was completely different from the first time he saw it. It was no longer a mummy owl, but a living, snow-white owl. The back looked normal, but when it turned its head and looked at An Xuefeng, An Xuefeng saw a human face on its face - George's face.
Part of George's soul actually survived by attaching to the token of the Tower of Babel! This was so incredible that it was unbelievable. Even An Xuefeng could not imagine that the token of the Tower of Babel could have such a change!
George's face was closed with his eyes and the corners of his lips slightly raised, as if he had sunk into a beautiful dream. Obviously, George paid a great price to hand over the token to Black Widow, and Black Widow was looking at him, with hope on the verge of breaking in her eyes, as weak as a candle in the wind, and it became despair when the wind blew.
‘No’
After a long silence, An Xuefeng slowly shook his head: ‘He didn’t say anything’
He remembered the last conversation with George, George hesitated several times, and his expression when he said that the tour guide and tourists should be gathered together, and the connection was the right way. Now that George is dead, Black Widow can inherit his journey at 30 degrees north latitude, and An Xuefeng has a faint sense in his heart.
Perhaps George came to persuade him to find a tour guide to connect with him. He and George were the strongest new star tourists in the east and west respectively, and they both opened up the journey at 30 degrees north latitude. In the connection with Black Widow, George may have sensed something, and perhaps this will be a new way out.
But at the same time, he should have felt the danger. Maybe it was the hotel’s surveillance, or maybe someone in charge secretly took action, so George finally did not choose to drag his friend An Xuefeng into the water, but chose to carry it himself first.
The result is like this.
George is dead.
There are rumors that a puppeteer was involved in his death, but An Xuefeng doesn't think that the puppeteer could have forced George to death without the hotel's secret manipulation and calculation.
"It should have been a human-faced owl."
In the tent of the camp restaurant, An Xuefeng's voice was very low. His finger passed across the owl's forehead, but it pecked it vigilantly and almost pecked off his finger.
It no longer recognized him.
"The human face represents its human soul?"
Bingyi was very keen and noticed the hidden meaning of An Xuefeng's words. If George's real soul and owl's human face are gone, the animal nature has completely suppressed human nature, and the dissipation of the soul is not far away. He thought of Fenrir Wolf. Its situation was different from the Snow White Owl. Although it had always been a wolf, Bingyi could feel its wisdom and humanity that was different from the beast.
Not as confused as this owl made him feel, so bad. Bing opened the owl's wings and saw its feathers
The token of Thirty Degrees North Latitude has not changed, it is the mummy of an owl from beginning to end. It's just that the remnant soul of George is attached to it, giving the illusion of being alive. This is not considered fusion. When the soul gradually disperses, it will return to its original mummy form.
An Xuefeng believed that the Black Widow might have placed George's skull in the Tower of Babel, using the power of Thirty Degrees North to keep his soul alive. However, in An Xuefeng's view, this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. Once George's head is contaminated by 30 degrees north latitude, what kind of monster can be resurrected even if he is resurrected?
She was really desperate and on the verge of despair.
"How can I save this?"
Yu Hehui also sighed after hearing this. He could be said to be a veteran who joined the brigade before he was called by this name on the way home. Naturally, he knew the friendship between An Xuefeng and George. At the moment, the Black Widow even gave Bingyi the token of the Tower of Babel. , no matter from the perspective of feelings or benefits, it would be best if George could be resurrected.
But this is simply an impossible task! Part of George's soul is attached to the Tower of Babel. Now even the power of Thirty Degrees North Latitude cannot keep him alive. It seems that his soul is extremely weak. Once it is separated from the token of Thirty Degrees North Latitude, it will probably be destroyed immediately. The smoke has disappeared, not to mention that after so many years, the pollution at 30 degrees north latitude has probably completely soaked into his soul. Just thinking about Yu Hehui makes his scalp numb.
Compared with George, his Yu Hehui, Tong Hege and even the resurrection of Fenrir Wolf are really child's play! Thinking of this, Yu Hehui's eyes darkened and he said solemnly: "Otherwise..."
He made a cutting gesture, and now Black Widow pinned all her hopes on Bingyi. If he can't resurrect George and leave him completely dead, what the mad Black Widow will do is anyone's guess. Although George and Black Widow are pitiful, they must not endanger Bingyi's safety! Yu Hehui was ruthless, thinking that he could either strike first and restrain or even kill the Black Widow. There was nothing he could do about it, but he wouldn't do it if there was even the slightest other way to go.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Hehui naturally thought about An Xuefeng as well. He thought more and more deeply, and his eyes fell on Bingyi. Suddenly, he saw Bingyi summoning the twins of light elves, turning them into maggots and crawling on his fingers. The owl's eyes suddenly straightened, and he stretched his neck and stared at them intently until Bingyi ordered them to turn into elves again. , flying around the owl with a smile.
"I was wondering...are there maggots on the mummified owl?"
What Bingyi said was hard to understand. Yu Hehui looked at An Xuefeng. He had seen the initial mummy of an owl and knew best whether there were maggots on it. However, An Xuefeng didn't look at him. He stared at Bingyi and suddenly smiled. His eyes were very bright. When they looked at each other, their eyes were connected, as if they had a tacit understanding and thought of the same thing.
"Absolutely the same as maggots."
An Xuefeng smiled, took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
The corpse of Ymir, the ancestor of the giants, contained huge power. Maggots were born on his corpse. Chaos had no consciousness and was confused all day long. Under the enlightenment of the Nordic god, the maggots turned into elves.
As a token of the Tower of Babel, the mummy of the owl has great power, and the remnant soul of George is attached to it. Now it has lost its consciousness, just like a wild bird, just like the maggots on the giant's corpse.
"Today is Saturday."
Bingyi chuckled and looked at the owl, his eyes twinkling. Every day, the gods of the day would pay attention to the best-performing tourists/tour guides and give out various rewards. But today there was no prompt.
Is it because the performance of these two brigades was not the best the day before yesterday?
Not really.
Today is Saturday, the day of the fire god Loki, a day under Bingyi's control. Bingyi decides who Loki pays attention to and who he rewards. Today, the authority of his fire god Loki is the most powerful. He can feel the fire of Loki burning in his body, and his authority is almost complete. He could feel that his body was full of strength. Yesterday, Ymir, the ancestor of the giants, recognized him as his son.
Compared with the power of giants, the third version of Loki's power in terms of 'gods' is slightly weaker. He is purely hostile to Odin, so naturally he will not get more recognition from him.
If you want to reach the peak of power, you must be balanced and not lose control. There is one thing that only the Nordic gods can do, and that is to create life. If Bingyi can complete it, then his authority as a Nordic god will no longer be able to be used by other gods. God questions! But it's not easy to do this. Bingyi has been experimenting with George for this reason, but it has not been successful so far. It is difficult to produce any results on Loki's Saturday.
Until he saw this owl, it was as if fate had sent it into his hands. What a perfect experiment. It was attached to a corpse full of power. Chaos had lost its humanity, and Bingyi had just melted the bones to George visited him a few times and had some experimental experience with him. This was such a good enlightenment material that Bingyi immediately had a whim and wanted to give it a try!
The miniature versions of Fenrir Wolf, Corn Snake and Little Cuiru, like Loki's three sons, appeared beside him. Loki's flames ignited on Bingyi's body, and the light of wisdom and authority represented by the runes flashed in his eyes. The tent became inexplicably quiet. The solemn and serious atmosphere made Yu Hehui subconsciously hold his breath and concentrate. Without blinking, he watched Bingyi bend a finger, gather all the power belonging to Loki, and gently tap the forehead of the owl.
Just like the Norse gods enlightened maggots and turned them into elves. Today, the God of Fire and Wisdom gathered his divine power to compare with gods with human bodies, and to burn the light of wisdom for the chaotic creatures!
