Indescribable cyberpunk - #665 - Chapter 645 Turning point
The great races and the ancient ones rely on their powerful spiritual power to greatly weaken the influence of Gadamon on them, but that’s all.
After getting rid of the last remaining Mi-Go in the deep world, they had no choice but to stop their progress.
Gadamon, who lost control of Mi.G, fell into a riot as expected. Manic energy filled the entire deep world, and even they could not withstand it for a long time.
Even within the energy shield created by the great race, Zhu Jie, who closed his eyes and tried to isolate himself from all external influences, was inevitably affected.
“Use the crystal!”
This time it was the message from the ancient one. Now that the action was over, Zhu Jue had to complete the remaining steps.
Phew~
Zhu Jue, who was standing in the energy shield, let out a long breath and did not open his eyes. He just tightened his grip on the Ancient One’s crystal and began to extend his soul into it.
Zhu Jue has never been a sentimental person. To put it bluntly, he is even a little heartless when it comes to many things. Perhaps it is this personality that allows him to barely hold on when he is mentally confused, but the energy in the ancient crystal The moment it began to pour into his body, Zhu Jue had mixed thoughts in his mind that were difficult to suppress.
What if the Ancient One Crystal doesn’t hold up?
What should I do if I can’t resist Gadamun’s erosion?
What if his plan fails and Gadameng goes completely berserk?
Feeling the strange energy emerging from everywhere in his body, Zhu Jue told himself:
If he loses this time, Qianfan City will most likely follow the footsteps of Ye City, and even be even more tragic. He can only succeed, and he must succeed!
One thought is this, and all the complicated thoughts are gone.
The Ancient One’s crystal unfolded countless bright rays of light in an instant, and all the energy stored in this crystal specially made by the Ancient One was transformed into a massive amount of deep purple light spots that poured into Zhu Jue’s soul.
When his soul was like a shriveled sponge, frantically absorbing all the energy and expanding at a terrifying speed, Zhu Jue finally realized why the great race said his soul was weak and vulnerable.
Through the spiritual converter, Zhu Jue now exists independently as a soul, and his body cannot hinder his power.
This means no limit!
Black and purple mist rose around Zhu Jue’s body, and soon it broke through the energy shield and truly came into contact with the external void. The silver ferocious beast flashed beside him. Not only did its size expand several times, but its eyes were also painted with crazy purple. meaning.
Unsurprisingly, extremely harmonious.
Zhu Jue, who was recognized by Gadamon to a certain extent, was able to strengthen his soul and break through the limits again. In this area where even great races and ancients must be cautious, he felt like a fish in water!
The black and purple wings spread out behind him, soaring straight into the sky with Zhujue.
Raising his head, Zhu Jue finally opened his eyes.
From the moment he knew about Gadameng’s existence, Zhu Jue couldn’t help but start guessing about its appearance.
Zhu Jue knew that this kind of thinking was abnormal, and he also knew that he should try his best to avoid thinking too much in this regard, because that would be causing trouble for himself.
However, when Zhu Jue drank the Gadamon spawn potion and was forced to come into contact with Gadamon because of Father Kane’s mark, some things were beyond his control.
He once thought that Gadamon was an illusory existence like a disembodied light like the Color of Stars. The overturned black-purple sky he saw in the spiritual world was the best proof.
However, until the moment he actually faced Gadamon, all his illusions were completely shattered.
It’s not light, let alone something pure like gas or liquid.
What Zhu Jue saw was a group of things that looked like bacteria or a swarm of amoeba. The chaotic colored light was produced by them, but they themselves were composed of black and purple mucus. Just like Zhu Jue once worked in Community No. 37 There are polluted areas seen in Community No. 40.
He finally understood why Gadamun’s daughter body was able to create a contaminated area, because the latter was a manifestation of Gadamun’s original body to some extent!
It’s just that Gadamun is even more terrifying!
Blisters and scars are constantly forming on its body surface, and they burst open periodically, spurting out disgusting black-purple pus. In addition, deformed heads are constantly forming in its body, with only vague outlines of facial features visible. They will be swallowed up by the mother as soon as they are born, and during this process, these twisted and ferocious heads seem to briefly observe the surrounding environment.
They saw Zhu Jue, but ignored him the next second.
Because in Gadameng’s perception, he is “one of his own”.
Covered in a purple light film, Zhu Jue endured the endless fear that kept popping up in his mind and rushed into Gadameng.
For a moment, Zhu Jue felt as if he had fallen into the same state he had been in when he traveled through ancient times in order to obtain the potion of Gadamon’s body.
Time and space are meaningless in Gadamun’s body, and its existence itself is complete chaos and disorder.
Fortunately, Zhu Jue had already anticipated this, so in order to prevent himself from having a mental breakdown due to overthinking, Zhu Jue cleared his mind in advance when he entered Gadameng.
This is the method taught by the great race. Thinking at this time will only aggravate the loss of the ancient being’s crystal energy and shorten the time he can persist. The most important thing for him now is time, and he must hold on until the ancient being has been exhausted. The first step of the plan is considered successful when the crystal absorbs enough energy.
No one knows when it will be completed, so Zhu Jue can only wait in nothingness.
Waiting for the moment when the Ancient One’s crystal energy is filled up, the energy wave bursts out to wake him up!
Zhu Jue in the deep world has forgotten time, but time in the real world still flows in an irreversible way.
“Sorry, we can’t help. The boss has some special problems with his body. With all due respect, Ms. Virginia, the Archaeological Association cannot help the boss. Besides, we will not disclose any information about the boss without his consent.” Information about the boss’s health problem!”
In the living room on the second floor of the suspended private clinic, Motoko once again rejected the offer of cooperation from the branch president of the Archaeological Association. This was the third time the latter called since he saved Virginia at the door of Lawrence’s residence.
It’s not that Virginia is stalking, but what happened last night inevitably plunged the Thousand Sail City government and the Archaeological Association into chaos.
The cause was the action to arrest Grand last night. It was a disaster!
The monsters that the “refugees” mutated into attacked the onlookers in front of the soldiers of the Ministry of Security and the Archaeological Association. Through the short videos posted on the Internet by the surviving people at the time, Suzi and Gu Yinxing were able to quickly sort out the general story. Condition.
Although Zhu Jue did not mention the plan itself too much to them during the two days of preparation, there were discussions about the illusion of Gadameng. In addition, there was Gu Yingxing, a person who experienced it personally. Compared with They can be considered as insiders to the Qianfan City government.
Obviously, the continuous awakening of Gadamun’s power has caused the bone trees throughout the fantasy territory of Gadamun to be strengthened. The Ouroboros organization took advantage of this change to complete the so-called “Yin Soldier Soul Confinement” that is currently uploaded on the Thousand Sail City network. “.
Nearly 30 people died on the spot, and they all died in the same way as Grande, that is, their souls were extracted from the body by mutant monsters and immediately sacrificed directly to the bone tree.
Compared with bloody killings, this weird way of death is undoubtedly more likely to cause panic.
Its impact is by no means as simple as just killing people!
You must know that Qianfan City has the tradition of the Ghost Festival, which means that a considerable number of people may not believe in religion, but have respect for ghosts and gods. Now, less than a month and a half before the end of the Ghost Festival, something like this happened. .
In the past, with the information blockade in heaven, the government could barely suppress the rumors. Now, with the approval of the high-level parliament to start the “Tinder Mode”, loopholes in the blockade of the lower-level communities will inevitably appear. It may still be suppressed on the Internet, but The exchange of information among people cannot be curbed.
Not to mention that the Qianfan City government had spared no effort to block the news, which resulted in the people having no way of understanding the mutant monsters, which made the theory of “Yin soldiers arresting the souls” popular.
Now if the former wants to refute the rumors, they have to announce the facts about the epidemic that were previously concealed. If they really do this, the absurd claims on the Internet may disappear, but the panic that will follow throughout the city is unbearable for them!
Shooting oneself in the foot is the best explanation of the current situation of the Qianfan City government.
Some people may think that as long as the Tinder mode is adjusted back and the chaos in the underlying community is suppressed, something can be saved. However, the reality is that with the sudden appearance of mutant monsters in Community No. 7 and killing people, the reality is that , it is impossible for people living in Sky City to agree to release the fire mode!
Back to business.
Virginia’s idea of contacting the Weird Studio one after another is nothing more than hoping that Zhu Jue can stand up and give some advice, at least so that they don’t have to wander around like headless flies in the trap set by the Ouroboros organization.
“Regarding what happened in Community No. 7 last night, we do know part of the inside story. The bone tree and the monsters that appeared on the street are not virtual light and shadow or the so-called ‘shadow soldiers’. The reason why they cannot use modern weapons Even all kinds of special weapons attack them because these monsters do not exist in the world at all. They are created by a group of mutant monsters through the separation of soul and body through a certain method of the Ouroboros organization. They can be in another special space. The existence of shuttle.”
It was impossible to tell the other party about Zhu Jue’s situation, which did not mean saying nothing. After a short pause, Suzi glanced at the two people who were still unconscious on the sofa and Gu Yinxing, who was looking after them, and then said,
“In the next period of time, the appearance of bone trees and mutant monster souls will only become more and more frequent. Before the matter is completely resolved, the only advice I can give is to block the area where the bone trees are suspected to exist as much as possible. To ensure that the public will no longer be used as nourishment for the bone tree and thus form a vicious cycle.”
“I will convey this to the government, but these are just passive defense methods after all. Isn’t there a way to enter the space where the bone tree is and destroy it?”
For ordinary people, evasion is feasible, but for the Qianfan City government, they must find ways to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, otherwise the underlying communities will only become more and more chaotic.
After listening to Virginia’s words, Suzi looked at Zhu Jue on the sofa and said in a deep voice:
“Sorry, we are also waiting for a turnaround!”
