Chapter 1075 The Death of the Chief Priest (please vote for this very large chapter)
As the closed door slowly opened, the scene behind the door appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
A slightly dim light shines in the wide hall, and small round tables extend inward from the door to the innermost part of the hall.
There, there is a beautiful solid wood bar, a huge gilded wine cabinet, and thin strips of lights spread behind the wine cabinet, illuminating every bottle of wine on it.
A rickety old man wearing a loose nightgown was sitting behind the wine cabinet, looking at a bright display screen behind the wine cabinet.
As the door opened, he slowly stood up.
Ruilin looked at everything in front of her with some confusion. Obviously, the scene in this 'office' was different from the scene in her memory.
He stepped into the hall. The hall was so quiet, as if the fierce gunfire outside had also quieted down at this moment.
But the moment he stepped into this hall, He Ao could feel some kind of sharp and invisible gaze that made people sit on pins and needles, coming from all directions.
"Would you like something to drink? You two."
The old man turned his back to the two people who entered, reached out and took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him, and placed it on the bar.
Feeling the tense and sharp feeling, He Ao calmly walked through the small round tables, walked to the chair in front of the bar, sat down, and said gently, "A glass of 'Commandment', thank you."
"Good taste."
The old man laughed hoarsely, put the wine in his hand on the bar, turned around slowly, and took out another bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.
At this time, Ruilin also came over with hesitation and doubt. She didn't seem to feel the 'invisible gaze' at all, but was a little confused about the changes in this 'office'.
"Kid, it's normal for you to feel confused,"
The rickety old man put the new wine on the bar, lowered his head, and picked up the wine glass next to him. "In front of the office, there is a rolling single-transparent glass curtain wall. When you open that wall, you can't see what's behind." scene."
Hearing this, Ruilin looked back behind her, and sure enough, there was a large translucent glass-like roller blind rolled up on the ceiling not far from the door.
Putting down the roller blind, it probably just seals the front and rear walls.
When she came here before, the roller blinds were down, and the 'officiant' met her at the small table in front.
Click——
With a soft sound, the officiant opened the metal cap of the wine bottle in his hand, looked at Ruilin, and asked gently, "What do you want to drink? Children? Or 'commandments'?"
Ruilin looked at the old man in front of her. Every time she came here before, the officiant would prepare a cup of 'commandment' for her.
She slowly moved her eyes away and landed on the metal bottle cap that the old man then threw into the trash can nearby. She was silent for a moment.
Finally, she nodded slightly, "Yeah."
At the same time, she also saw the officiant pouring out the wine from the two bottles of wine in his hand and starting to mix it.
This was the first time she had seen the making process of 'Precepts'. The 'Precepts' on the bar outside were all packed in a large closed wooden barrel and poured out by the bartender.
The old man quickly mixed two glasses of wine, squeezed a little lime into them, added three ice cubes, and handed them to the two of them.
He Ao reached out to take the wine and took a sip.
Compared with the one he drank before, this glass of wine has a richer aroma in the front. Although the fire in the back is still surging, it is more restrained, and there is still a slight reverberating acidity in the wine.
Ruilin, who was beside He Ao, did not pick up the wine glass in front of her, but just looked at the business around the bar in silence.
"Outlander,"
The old man mixed himself a glass of wine, looked at He Ao, and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I will put medicine in your wine?"
“Normally, I respect a bartender’s reputation.”
He Ao shrugged slightly and put the wine glass on the table.
As soon as he entered the door, he put a mark on the old man's body and knew exactly what was thinking in the old man's mind.
"Outlander,"
The old man looked at He Ao and sighed softly, "I don't know how you came to the glorious city, but your courage is admirable."
"What exactly is this?"
At this time, Ruilin raised her head, looked at the screen next to the old man, and couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, the screen is divided into a dozen small areas, and countless people wearing gray-brown clothes are shuttled through these small areas.
They were holding guns and fighting fiercely with the beautifully dressed people from the 'Discipline Office'.
"This is 'surveillance,' kid,"
The old man glanced at the screen and said slowly, "Your memory has been covered up by the City of Glory. It's normal not to recognize it."
"Are those bright 'lights' also in a category I don't recognize?"
Ruilin raised her head, looked at the bright light on the wine cabinet, and asked again.
The light seemed to be used to create a certain atmosphere, but it was also the brightest light she had ever seen in the city.
"This is 'electric light'."
The old man said slowly, "It is different from the energy supply form of lamps that use waste gas from food factories for lighting."
"Why can't we use electric lights?"
Ruilin asked in a low voice. She had traveled to every corner of the city for countless days and nights, and she knew very well what a bright enough light meant.
But soon, she seemed to have the answer again, and said hoarsely, "Because we are 'livestock'?"
Along with these words, some scattered thoughts and memories emerged in her mind, and she whispered, "It's like the owner of the ranch won't install lights in the ranch unless he needs it?"
This time, the old man didn't answer. He just calmly raised the glass of wine he had mixed, took a sip, and then said slowly, "My child, you are very good. I watched you grow up step by step. There were many nights. , I have considered whether I should let you contact the extraordinary."
He put the wine glass on the table, "If you are still repentant now, you can be the head of the Discipline Office, and you will be responsible for all the rights of the entire Discipline Office. You don't like Lan Robe. Now that he is dead, you will sit Get in his place,"
He looked at Ruilin, "I will open the extraordinary door for you, and you will become the actual manager of this city."
"What about them?"
Ruilin looked at the figures in gray-brown clothing holding guns on the surveillance camera.
"Son, you should know that nothing can be managed well with too much kindness,"
The old man took a sip of wine and said slowly, "The moment they picked up the gun, their fate was decided."
Ruilin lowered her head and stared at the rickety old man, "I want to know, was Ruili really taken away by the 'Angel of God'?"
"She is not related to you, child,"
The old man put the wine glass in his hand on the table, raised his head, looked at Ruilin, and said hoarsely, "When you become the manager of this city, you have many choices."
Ruilin stared at the old man in front of her. She knew that this was actually equivalent to acknowledging her problem.
"Mr. officiant, it is impossible for a shepherd's dog to protect any lamb from its owner,"
Ruilin looked at the old man in front of her, "Because it is just a 'cattle' with a higher status."
"You don't have to protect those lambs, you're not like them."
The old man sighed and looked at Ruilin, "You are very talented. You may become the 'master' and receive the glory."
"If the condition for becoming a 'master' is to use one's own kind as livestock,"
Ruilin slowly held the bronze sword in her hand, "I can't accept it."
"My child, it seems that you have made your own decision. You are as good as I thought, but excessive 'kindness' will only bring you a fate of destruction."
The old man sighed, his old and rickety body slowly straightened up, the horned dragon-like muscles bulged on his body, and the old skin tightened at this moment. At this moment, he seemed to be rapidly becoming 'younger'.
Some kind of invisible pressure spread. At this moment, Ruilin felt as if her chest was pressed by some kind of boulder, and she even lost the ability to breathe.
Her face turned red briefly due to lack of oxygen, but even so, she did not speak again, denying her choice.
boom--
The sound of his index finger tapping on the table resounded in the silent hall.
The sound was not loud, just a gentle knock, but it sounded so clear and loud in Ruilin's ears, like a knock on her soul.
The invisible 'boulder' that was oppressing his chest suddenly collapsed under this 'light' knock, and turned into nothingness in an instant.
Fine beads of sweat seeped out on every inch of the woman's skin in an instant. She panted heavily, like a drowning person fished out of the sea, greedily breathing in the breath of life.
The old man standing behind the bar turned his head and looked at the 'young man' beside him who had one hand on the bar and a wine glass in the other, and asked with a smile,
"Then Mr. Foreigner, are you also here for the missing cute little girl?"
Buzz——
It was as if some invisible ripples crossed He Ao's side face, blowing his hair slightly as it passed in front of him.
Boom-boom-boom-
Behind He Ao, the round tables suddenly collapsed, 'drawing' a long line that extended to the end of the hall.
"I can feel the power contained in your body. It's incredible that you can easily defeat the blue robe."
The old man looked at He Ao and continued to say with a smile,
"But unfortunately, this is the City of Glory. You will never understand how powerful the gift from the City of Glory is. It is a power beyond the understanding of ordinary people. It is a gift from K, the Destroyer."
At this moment, he looked like a strong middle-aged old man and looked up at He Ao, "You have great power. If you are willing to stay here, I believe that the City of Glory will be willing to accept you."
boom--
Fine cracks spread on the wine glass in He Ao's hand in an instant, covering the entire glass almost instantly.
Under the colorful lights, the cracked wine glass seemed to be covered with a layer of fine snowflakes, reflecting crystal clear colors.
"I am a very simple-minded person, just one question,"
He Ao slowly raised the crystal wine glass in his hand, brought it to his mouth, drank the last sip of the wine, looked at the old man, and said with a smile, "Where is the way to the 'upper'? Besides,"
He put the wine glass in his hand on the table and said with a smile, "This is indeed a good glass of wine."
boom--
Along with his words, a crisp sound exploded on the table, and the entire wine glass shattered, turning into fine glass sand and scattered on the bar.
This wine glass has already shattered in the invisible sound wave, but when it 'collapses' is decided by the person holding the glass.
"Unfortunately, only those chosen by glory can go to the upper level,"
The old man raised his hand and gently brushed the glass fragments on the table.
Bang——
At this moment, the countless broken glass fragments exploded instantly, like a rain of bullets, suddenly "pouring" towards He Ao.
This terrifying force broke through the air and made a shrill sound.
Ruilin stared at this scene blankly. She didn't know how powerful this move was, but she felt that if the blue robe just now was here, it would be easily pierced into a pile of minced meat by these fragments.
She wanted to open her mouth to remind him, but the speed of these glass fragments was too fast, far beyond her reaction limit. Before she opened her mouth, the flying glass fragments had already burst out and were about to reach He Ao's body.
But at this moment, as if some invisible light flashed, the flying fragments did not pounce on He Ao, but suddenly flew back, flying towards the old man behind the bar at a faster speed than just bursting out.
Seeing this scene, the old man immediately pulled away and jumped to the side.
Bang——
The wine bottles covering the entire wine cabinet were suddenly pierced, and the rich wine splashed down like raindrops. The heavy wine cabinet was also shattered and fell forward.
At this moment, Ruilin felt her shoulders being grabbed casually, and then her vision rolled, and her whole body fell in front of the office door.
She raised her head and looked forward, only to see that the young man had stood up from his chair at some point, raised his hand, and seemed to hold some invisible hilt.
Then, she saw the young man raised his palm and used some invisible weapon in his hand to cut across the metal edge of the collapsed wine cabinet.
Sizzle——
The flying sparks emerged from the edge of the wine cabinet in an instant, and then instantly ignited the surging wine around.
The flames spread to the wine in the air like a wave, and instantly formed a wave of fire, attacking the old man who had already jumped out sideways.
"Fancy."
Looking at the wave of fire rushing over, the old man had no expression on his face.
This level of fire can hardly cause any harm to a powerful transcendent like him.
He raised his hand, quickly adjusted his body, opened his mouth, and seemed to be ready to "blow" back these "provocative" flames.
However, in a place where he did not notice, fine glass fragments were hidden in the flames and attacked him at a very fast speed.
The moment he opened his mouth, these glass fragments also rushed out of the flames and pierced his chest in an instant.
Then, a sword-wielding figure instantly crossed the surging waves of fire, and before he could react to his injury, he raised the invisible sword in his hand and cut off his head with one sword.
Just when he was holding the wine glass, He Ao integrated his consciousness into the wine glass.
Most of the glass fragments thrown by the "officer" were directly bounced back by him with the shadowless sword, while a small part was controlled by the consciousness and hidden in the splashing wine.
Holding the shadowless sword, He Ao looked up and looked around.
The wine fell at the feet of the young man, igniting a surging flame and flowing around.
End, the end?
Ruilin in the corner looked at the young man standing in the flames, and was a little dazed for a moment.
No, that's not right.
Soon, she found that the young man standing in the flames did not stop moving, but raised his head and looked up.
At some point, the whole hall seemed to be "trembling", and pieces of cement dust on the solid ceiling were falling off rapidly, revealing bright red wriggling flesh.
Then, the walls, floors, and all the visible structures in the hall began to be covered with cracks.
"Stranger, your power is very strong,"
A hoarse and sharp voice sounded from all directions, "but you will never know how powerful the glory of 'Destroyer K' is. This is a gift from God, and this is eternal and immortal power."
Ruilin raised her head and looked at the scene in horror. The scene in front of her was far beyond her expectations.
She never thought that this entire 'hall' was the 'chief priest'.
She subconsciously lowered her head and looked at the young man standing in the flames.
This time, the young man did not make any movements, but just lowered his head, as if he was lost in some kind of thinking.
Huge tentacles extended from all directions of the hall, and they opened their tentacles, revealing a mouth similar to that of a human.
"Ah——"
Some sharp whistling sound echoed throughout the room in an instant.
Those invisible sound waves gathered together, and the flames flowing on the ground trembled violently, and finally overlapped at the position where the young man stood.
The young man's body trembled slightly, and some blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
But he still stood there, as if he was lost in thought.
Those huge tentacles moved, changed their formation, and opened their "mouths" again.
And this time, a stream of light suddenly burst out from the young man's hand, directly cutting off several tentacles in a row, and stabbed a sword into the innermost wall.
The movements of the tentacles in all directions trembled.
He Ao raised his hand.
The human body of the chief priest just now had two energy gathering points, both of which were destroyed by him. Those two were obvious and easy to destroy.
The wound pierced through the wall deep inside trembled, and the invisible sword blade flew back into He Ao's hand.
This is the third one.
Unlike the human body, the flesh and blood of this "monster" covering the entire hall was piled up in a very disordered manner, the energy circuit in the body was extremely complex, and the energy gathering point was unknown.
The final result is that these dense energy circuits actually cover up the real energy gathering point.
This is a bit like a doctor taking a pulse. A thin person can feel the pulse by stretching out his hand, while a fat person needs to feel it for a long time.
He Ao is now following those chaotic energy circuits to find the real "energy gathering point" of this monster.
After a short pause, the tentacles surrounding He Ao moved again, and after changing their formation, they opened their mouths.
At this moment, He Ao raised his hand again, and the sword light burst out in an instant.
The invisible sword blade cut off a piece of tentacle in half like mowing grass, and instantly inserted into the wall on the side of the door, piercing the energy gathering point inside.
When the monster moves, the energy in its body will rise and fall like the tide, and the energy gathering point in its body will also flash more strongly.
This is when its energy gathering point is most obvious.
The fourth one.
He Ao retracted the shadowless sword.
Judging from these energy circuits, there should be another one.
After being penetrated for the second time, the surrounding tentacles were silent for a moment and did not start to move again.
The whole hall was strangely quiet at this moment.
He Ao stared at the dense energy circuits and carefully sorted out the location of the last energy gathering point.
Here!
At a certain moment, he suddenly realized something, immediately grasped the sword in his hand, passed through the surging flames, and jumped up suddenly.
Almost at the same time as he jumped up, a huge tentacle stretched out from under his feet, opened its bloody mouth at the top, and bit his just position.
And at the moment when the big mouth closed, He Ao in the sky had already fallen.
The sharp sword blade did not give the tentacle any reaction time, and instantly cut the entire tentacle vertically from top to bottom, splitting it in two.
In the mellow fragrance of fine wine, the collapsed tentacle fell into the blazing fire.
Boom——
At this moment, the whole hall trembled violently, as if it was about to collapse.
Holding the shadowless sword, He Ao fell back into the flames and looked at the surrounding buildings that were already shaking violently and about to collapse.
The last energy gathering point of the monster was right under his feet.
In the invisible void, a special connection spread.
It seemed that this city was recovering its power.
Seeing this, He Ao reached into his pocket and slowly took out the yellow crystal.
