Cataclysm King - #384 - Chapter 384 Let the Bai family and the Silver Moon Sect serve as shields

PS. It’s stuck, but the content is as per the title.

Ji Xun left the rat camp in the sewer.

Since divination has confirmed that his sense of crisis really has a direct source, of course it cannot be left behind.

In the cabin.

The white mouse looked at the storage ring left on the table with a complicated expression.

Reni looked at the scarlet blood on her chest and asked with concern: “Mother-in-law, how are you?”

Only a few people in the camp knew the identity of Granny, and Reni was one of them.

It’s not what she said modestly, she is not a divination expert.

But in the entire Eastern Wasteland, it is difficult to find a fortune teller who is more knowledgeable in the field of divination than the old man in front of him.

Eighty years ago, this man was already a famous figure in the Federation.

It was precisely because of this that Reni dared to bring Ji Xun to the camp before.

In fact, the backhand that was secretly hidden before was this grandma’s divination ability.

If there were really bad results, he would take Ji Xun elsewhere.

“A shortened lifespan is something I brought upon myself.”

The mother-in-law shook her head and said something, and then sighed: “Hey, it’s my fault too. I was curious about what that person was predicting, and that’s why the backlash was so serious. The young man should have noticed something, but he just didn’t mind.”

The backlash just now was not only because of the divination, but more importantly, she had a glimpse of the cause and effect pointed to by the divination.

I didn’t expect the consequences to be so serious.

“.”

Reni also felt a little unbelievable when he heard this.

He knew that Granny’s divination was very special, and even passed most of the cost of the backlash onto the symbiotic rat.

But even so, the backlash was so serious that it’s hard to imagine what the divination was about.

The mother-in-law looked bitter and said: “The cause and effect involved in that young man is too terrifying, far beyond my reach. As expected, he should be from the Southern Continent.”

I thought that the crisis would be directed at most to the Bai family or the Oran Royal Court.

After all, Reni and the two had killed several members of the Black Knife organization before.

Backlash like that is no big deal.

Didn’t expect this.

The cause and effect is so powerful that no one can pry into it, just like the gods cannot be looked at directly.

At this point, neither of them said anything.

Grandma looked at the poker on the table and said with emotion: “This [Golden Divination Poker] is a relic of my teacher back then. After the ‘Golden Coup’, the family of the great prophet Atalas was wiped out by several federal congressmen, and this relic was also No whereabouts. Unexpectedly, it fell into my hands again today.”

Ji Xun didn’t take away the poker, which was considered compensation.

After all, divination determined the direction of the crisis and saved his life.

It’s just a relic, and he’s not stingy either.

Hearing this, Reni also looked complicated.

Just this move made people a little more admired.

After thinking about it, he asked again: “Mother-in-law, what do you think of that person’s divination result?”

After all, he had just been given the [Grey Mist Relic], and Reni didn’t want Ji Xun to die like this.

But with such a huge cause and effect, it’s hard to imagine who can survive it safely.

“Big evil.”

Grandma said in a deep tone, “According to the situation of poker divination, it is impossible for that person to be alive. But”

After pondering for a moment, a very rare look of confusion appeared in her rat eyes, and she continued: “But the young man’s eyes were as unpredictable as a prophet. He knew his situation clearly, but it seemed that everything was wrong. Unsurprisingly indifferent. This reminds me of the leader of the “Thirteen Kamen Riders”. I had an encounter with “Light Chaser” Gurney, and his eyes gave me the same feeling. That kind of person. , never let yourself be exposed to ‘accidents’. perhaps.”

“.”

When Reni heard this, he didn’t know what to say.

Of course he also noticed that Ji Xun’s expression did not change at all from the beginning to the end.

Sighing again, Grandma said: “Hey, let’s clean it up. It’s time to change the campground.”

“Um.”

Reni nodded and helped put away the storage ring on the table.

At this sight, his expression was startled again.

In addition to the materials promised to pay for the divination fee, there are also many top-notch mechanical materials and accessories.

“this”

Reni’s eyes instantly became complicated when he saw it.

He knew that this was what Ji Xun left for him to study the puppet.

We had traded purposefully before, we didn’t owe each other anything, and we didn’t think anything of it. But this kind of gift without asking for anything in return made him feel that he owed someone a favor.

In the Thief City, in a dark alley, the manhole cover of the sewer opened with a bang.

Ji Xun walked out of the sewer.

He turned to the red-eyed mouse behind him and said, “Say ‘thank you’ to my mother-in-law for me.”

The mouse seemed to understand, and squeaked, then turned around and ran into the sewer again.

In fact, Ji Xun had noticed before that the mother-in-law was definitely not simple.

The other party can do divination, and Ji Xun can also deduce.

In the world he deduced, the diviner’s causal line was very special.

Definitely not as simple as an ordinary wanted criminal.

Recalling the news related to fortune tellers in history, he also guessed some of the other party’s background.

But Ji Xun has no interest in exploring other people’s secrets.

Without thinking much, he arranged his clothes and when he walked out of the alley, he already had the face of a stranger.

It’s a coincidence. I don’t know if rats like to visit this neighborhood, but the location where Ji Xun came out happened to be Caramel Street in Xicheng District.

This is the largest dessert wholesale market in Thieves City.

In a short street, there are more than a dozen chocolate and cake factories.

The sweet aroma of pastries is floating in the air.

That’s why the little lolita who had been sleeping soundly in her pocket seemed to smell the sweet smell of food and suddenly popped up in her head. She looked at the exquisite pastries in the shop windows on both sides of the street and asked with bright eyes: “Mr. Ji Xun, are we going to eat something delicious?”

Ji Xun looked at little Ivan, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: “Yes. Fill your stomach first.”

Ivan jumped out of his pocket, lay on Ji Xun’s head, and said excitedly: “Okay~”

Ji Xun agreed and led the foodie into the cake shop leisurely.

It just so happened that I had given all the supplies to Reni before, so I needed to reserve some space of my own.

Ji Xun then started scanning the streets for goods.

Not long after, a certain loli with a bulging belly fell asleep in her pocket again.

Ji Xun began his preparations.

In the city, the moon symbol of the Silver Moon Sect can be seen everywhere on billboards.

Believers wearing sexy nun robes can be seen everywhere on the streets, walking in small groups, their faces full of enthusiasm and devotion to the moon god.

Silver Moon pollution is spreading rapidly like a plague.

In just one week, this city with a population of tens of millions has completely fallen.

This is the scene in the Thieves City controlled by the Bai family, and it may be the same in most other cities in the entire Eastern Wasteland.

Moreover, Ji Xun also discovered a phenomenon that is extremely scary if you think about it carefully.

Along the way, the faces of the city residents no longer showed the fear of war, complaints about hard work, and confusion about the future.

Just expressions of pleasure and enjoyment.

Even a sloppy homeless man lying on the street can get the ultimate spiritual joy as long as he prays devoutly to the moon in the sky and recites the honorable name of Arachne, the “Lord of Dreams and Joy”.

Joy and dreams form a virtual perfect world, allowing believers to sink endlessly.

Ji Xun had fallen into a silver moon dream at Tailong Machinery City before, so he knew what those people saw.

That kind of happy and perfect dream is simply not something that ordinary people can escape from.

And compared to the suffering in reality, most people would not want to wake up once exposed to it.

This is also the most direct reason why the Silver Moon Sect can grow rapidly.

Ji Xun finally understood why the card masters’ ancestors rejected the old god’s faith so much.

Just like this scene where the city is full of fanatical believers, it makes people feel that the whole world is unreal.

But at the same time, Ji Xun also had some deep thoughts in his mind: What is the difference between the dream world and the real world?

The spiritual world can simulate all the senses in the real world. If dreams can be absolutely perfect, then why should we cling to the real world?

In the sky, a huge bright moon illuminated the entire city.

The bright moonlight shines down, linking to every believer, absorbing the power of their faith.

The enlightenment of pollution exemption keeps flickering.

As he walked on the street, Ji Xun deduced the possible flaws in his plan, and murmured to himself from time to time: “That guy Aragorn really gave me a big trouble.”

Although he guessed that people from the Southern Continent were most likely targeting Ivan, he had no intention of staying out of it.

Of course, friends’ entrustments must be protected with all their strength.

Moreover, Ji Xun himself is also very curious about what secrets Ivan has and how people in the Southern Continent will solve the problem.

In his opinion, danger is indeed danger.

But there is no hope of breaking through.

If the top brass of the Rebel Dragon Army can send Ivan to the East Wasteland, the secrets involved in Ivan must be extraordinary.

But Ji Xun didn’t think that when Aragorn and the others sent people here, they didn’t expect that people from the Holy See would come.

Correspondingly, the Holy See will also be wary of the back-up of the Dragon Rebel Army.

It was this kind of game with huge uncertainty that made Ji Xun so excited.

It’s like playing cards with a master. Before the cards are played, you can already see the types of cards that both parties will play later.

In this kind of card game, what often determines the outcome is not necessarily the final big card, but may be any “card that the opponent did not expect”.

That’s why Ji Xun felt that Aragorn might have had something in mind when he sent the person here.

The future of the card game is unknown. Ji Xun cannot see through it, but he finds it interesting.

All he can do is do what he can do to the best of his ability.

so.

Now that it is certain that people from the Southern Continent will most likely come to visit.

Ji Xun didn’t intend to take the risk on his own.

The Bai family and the Silver Moon Sect in the Thieves City are the best “helpers”.

Ji Xun had seen with his own eyes that the Silver Moon Goddess had the ability to hunt down the eighth-level dragon-born card master, so she had to let the other party contribute no matter what.

“People from the Southern Continent should send a small force to make a surprise attack. Well, some special relics may be used.”

“If you want to capture Ivan who can move in space, you will inevitably limit the laws of space.”

“What level will it be? Level 7? It’s not very likely that it will be higher. After all, this is the hinterland of the Eastern Wasteland.”

“.”

Ji Xun’s mind was spinning rapidly, and the deduced plan spread out like countless ideas like the moon above his head.

I have to mention something.

The “multitasking” entry obtained after advancing to the sixth level gave Ji Xun a big surprise.

It was originally used to control puppets while distracted, but it can be used in the world-I-is game, and it has the same miraculous effect.

Ji Xun felt that his previous brain was like a computer that processed information at high speed.

But now, it has become many stations.

Those other personalities who were once caged like circus beasts are freed. They think and grow independently.

Ji Xun’s deduction ability has improved exponentially this time.

But at the same time, hidden dangers are gradually emerging.

As other personalities become stronger, the risk of losing control becomes greater and greater.

This is also the reason why Reni said before that high-level card masters in their lineage of magicians are prone to mental distortion.

Ji Xun has no intention of stripping off those out-of-control personalities.

Therefore, this is another reason why he wants to visit the Silver Moon Sect.

The other personalities he suppressed before relied on the Silver Moon Sect’s “Sky Moon Divine Thought” secret method.

But before, his realm was low and his understanding of secret techniques was very superficial, which could no longer meet the current six-level mental power growth needs.

Ji Xun plans to go to the Silver Moon Headquarters in Extreme Thieves City to see if he can get the follow-up to the secret method of visualization.

Furthermore, when I first advanced, my realm was not yet stable enough.

There is no more direct method of stabilization than absorbing some extraordinary substances.

He also wanted to see if there were supernatural beings such as mediums in the sect.

You know, this is no longer the old sect that Ji Xun met in Innocence City and was hiding in Tibet.

Rather, it is a behemoth with countless believers providing the power of faith.

As I was walking, several nuns came towards me.

She looks like she is a young female student.

Ji Xun did not wear the Cross of the Moon and had no church emblem. This made the nuns immediately confirm that this was not a believer of a god, and they took the initiative to greet him.

One of the better-looking nuns said enthusiastically: “Sir, I sincerely invite you to join our Silver Moon Church and become Lord Arachne’s most loyal believer with us. Lord Moon Goddess will give us endless joy.”

Ji Xun looked at a few people and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

He did not reject them, but responded directly: “Praise the great gods.”

Ji Xun stayed in the Silver Moon Sect for a long time.

As for his understanding of doctrine, he knows it better than these believers.

Seeing how easily Ji Xun agreed, several young nuns also laughed and led Ji Xun to a nearby prayer place.

Ji Xun took his time.

The last time the undercover was discovered, the most important reason was that because of the small number of believers, he had been entangled with the “divine body” of the moon god.

I was exposed once and learned a lesson.

There are now hundreds of millions of followers in the Silver Moon Sect, and Ji Xun is not the low-level card master he was back then. He doesn’t think he can be exposed so easily.

In order to prepare the Bai family and the Silver Moon Sect for the upcoming crisis, Ji Xun also took the time to write a “military secret letter.”

He had served as a spy in the Southern Continent Army and was familiar with the format and encryption methods of various military letters.

He wrote several letters in the tone of a scout from the southern continent who had sneaked into the city.

The main content of the content is: “The Holy Holy See is about to have an important military mission in the Thieves City, and there will be experts coming.”

There is no need to go into too much detail. There are experts in the Bai family who can definitely guess it.

The intelligence personnel of the Bai family are also very professional. Ji Xun went to the tavern and “unfortunately” intercepted the secret letters.

Even if the other party has doubts about the origin of the letter, they will definitely pay attention to it.

After all, the Bai family is now the high priest of Oran.

They know that they must be the focus of attention in the southern continent, and they have always been on guard.

Ji Xun looked at these letters just to think that when people from the Southern Continent really came, the Bai family would preconceptionally think that they were coming for them and join the war as soon as possible.

The next evening.

Ji Xun changed into a dress and followed the address to the White Pigeon Temple, the largest Silver Moon stronghold in Xicheng District.

High-level card masters are determined and difficult to be affected by low-level pollution in the moonlight and darkness.

That requires continued and stronger pollution.

The Silver Moon Sect also attaches great importance to these candidates who can provide combat power and stronger faith.

Ji Xun’s current identity is that of a fourth-level hunter whom he had met in the Old Continent but had died in battle.

So after registering at the branch yesterday, the bishop there informed him to come to the White Dove Church today, implying that there would be a higher-level joyful dance here.

In Xicheng District, Iron Knight Street, there is a row of luxurious manors.

This neighborhood was originally the wealthy area of ​​Thieves City.

The White Dove Church is at No. 441. This is a spire building decorated with colored sloped glass. It is also the most luxurious manor in the entire block.

When Ji Xun came, he saw all kinds of luxurious motorcycles parked on both sides of the road.

Entering the manor, there are already many people here.

Wealthy ladies in gorgeous long dresses, young and beautiful noble ladies, and gentlemen wearing top hats and holding canes

Three or five people gathered together, chatting and laughing happily.

It is said to be a prayer ceremony of the Silver Moon Sect, but more like a noble dance.

Ji Xun was already familiar with the communication procedures of upper class society and walked in leisurely.

However, the garden of the manor was still normal. When I walked into the hall, I immediately saw pairs of naked young men and women hugging each other and dancing on the dance floor.
