The sun is high - #149 - Chapter 148 Collapse
In his past life experience, Xiuge has seen some people slip and kneel on the spot for various reasons.
However, like the officer named Bayliss in front of him, he was the first to kneel down so decisively, quickly and thoroughly.
and……
The person the other party was kneeling on turned out to be himself.
This was different from the kind of “sliding on one’s knees” caused by fear, flattery, flattery or begging for forgiveness from others. All Xiuge felt from this guy was deep piety.
At this moment, Xiuge only felt as if he had become a statue of a god in a certain temple, and the people kneeling in front of him were believers who had witnessed the miracles of the statue.
Although this situation was strange, it also opened a gap for Xiuge’s conversation.
Shuge was silent for two seconds, and then asked: “Raise your head, Bayliss…answer my question, which god do you believe in?”
“I answer, I answer!”
Bayliss shouted, but he always maintained a prostrate posture and did not raise his head as ordered by Shuge.
So Shuge looked at him seriously, and then he discovered that this guy’s body was shaking uncontrollably, and his face was covered with a twisted smile caused by ecstasy. At this moment, Bayliss Apparently he had two extreme emotions of ecstasy and fear at the same time, which made him unable to control his body at all.
The next second, Xiuge heard the name he called out in his hoarse, deformed voice.
“I follow the Mother of the Earth, I am a descendant of the Moon Eagle, and a believer in the huge hills… Praise to the Lord of Burning Fire and Ten Thousand Scales…”
Due to severe mood swings, Bayliss’ words were extremely confusing: “But I am here, but I also see you here! So fate also favors me… I am willing to follow the guidance of fate forever in the future… Wanmian The messenger is above, the messenger is above!”
“What the hell is this?”
There was no change on Xiuge’s face, but he couldn’t help but cursed in his heart.
This guy rattled off too many unfamiliar nouns at once, such as “Eagle of the Moon”, “Huge Mountain”, and “King of Burning Fire and Ten Thousand Scales”. These nouns can even be related to the dream of Xiuge. No one who communicated with the shelter had ever heard of it. Once Bellis finished the call, the only thing Shuge could understand was the “Mother of the Earth” and the “Messenger of All Faces” he mentioned at the end.
The former naturally refers to the Mother Earth Goddess who was once worshiped and believed by countless ground races.
And the latter…
Xiuge squinted his eyes, his thoughts racing, and then a sentence came out of Xiuge’s mouth: “It’s amazing… You believe in many gods at the same time, so what you do is worthy of your beliefs?”
Under Xiuge’s deliberate adjustment, his tone became extremely cold, and there was almost no emotion in his ears. With the operation of the magic power in his body, an invisible pressure also silently pressed on Bei. In Leith’s body, this caused the fear in his body to completely break out.
Shuge could even hear the chattering of his teeth.
“If you increase your intensity, he may lose control.”
A family soul who had served as a law enforcement officer in the Kingdom of Votel obviously had rich experience in this area. He carefully reminded: “I think the level is almost the same. I need to be a little more restrained. If this continues, the scene will be ugly… It smells bad too.”
“Thanks for the reminder, but he is a member of the Black Sun Society after all. I think the force can be stronger to prevent him from telling the truth.”
Shuge responded in his mind and raised his hand.
So a cold touch of Charron slowly penetrated into the cage, and it spun around flexibly, and then the sharp joint at the end of the tentacle accurately touched Bayliss’ neck.
This officer who had joined the Black Sun Society at some point and was ready to dedicate everything to the true gods was finally forced to raise his head. He instinctively wanted to move his eyes away to avoid looking at Shuge, but he came around. The Touch of Charron gave him no room to dodge at all.
Then he saw a pair of chaotic eyes flashing with black shadows.
Bayliss could feel the special atmosphere contained in those black shadows and thick fog – it was different from any kind of magic, but quite similar to the rituals held during gatherings in the association, and from that thick fog, The pressure exerted in his eyes finally exceeded his endurance limit.
“Bellis, you should have seen…I am with the royal family of Walter.”
“Yes, you’re with them,” Bayliss replied, shaking.
There was a strange smell in the air, so Xiuge immediately used magic to block his sense of smell, and said without changing his expression: “My situation is very dangerous, so I need your help, do you understand?”
“Understood, yes…I understand.”
“Then tell me everything you know, instead of waiting for those fools who believe in ‘false gods’ to continue torturing you. When you go crazy or die, you won’t be able to help me.”
In the interrogation room, under the influence of magic, Xiuge’s voice became as ethereal and cold as the echo in an ice cave. He consciously or unconsciously showed the “miracles” from a long time ago to the prisoners in the cage, while constantly The ground exerted a terrible sense of oppression on him.
From Bayliss’s mouth, Shuge got the exact information about the Black Sun Society for the first time.
…
Due to his family structure, Bayliss is a quarter of the blood of Saint Steele from the North, so he is different from ordinary Votel civilians in terms of beliefs.
As a soldier of Votel, he believed in the giant eagle of the plateau and the goddess Mel who brought magical miracles, but at the same time he also believed in the god of life – this is the tradition of the St. Steele people.
And his adjutant had a similar background to him.
In Votel’s military camp, there were too few people who had a common language in terms of faith. Their respect for the God of Life made the two of them lay a solid foundation of friendship, and in those two battles against the plateau ogres After the battle, they were promoted at the same time and followed the transfer order to join Bolden’s city defense force.
According to Bayliss’s vague description, Shuge learned that the days after he just returned to Bolden were very peaceful and boring, until the adjutant who also had Saint Steele blood invited him to attend a certain event. A “fun” gathering.
The rest of the process is lackluster.
This set of processes, which were infinitely close to pyramid schemes, had such a strong sense of familiarity that Xiuge’s evaluation of the Black Sun Society began to plummet.
In order to make himself appear less like a deliberate interrogation, Shuge did not ask too much about the process of Bellis joining the Black Sun Society, but focused on understanding the recent plans and actions of the Black Sun Society.
In this regard, the Black Sun Society has once again demonstrated its amazing abilities in penetration, action planning and execution.
Obviously, Bayliss was not the only one in Bolden who suffered from infiltration and erosion.
The acquisition and transmission of confidential information, the selection of bombardment targets, the transportation and deployment of old crystal cannons and shells…
There are various indications that all this was completed by the Black Sun Society in just one and a half days, and the execution of the process revealed a strange and rigorous “beauty”.
In Bayliss’s account, all he did was get orders and carry them out.
As for the extremely important tasks of messaging and weapon preparation in this process, it was obviously completed by others. As for who these people were, Bayliss did not know.
Under normal circumstances, when the conversation reaches this point, the speaker will realize that he is actually an insignificant abandonment, and will have some emotional fluctuations as a result. However, Bayliss did not show any similar behavior. When Ge told these things, he seemed extremely excited. Rather than “explaining”, it was more like “showing merit” for himself.
“I did it! I did it all!”
Bellis repeatedly emphasized that at this time, he had completely forgotten his current situation and embarrassment, and kept describing the “contribution” he had made to Shuge. At this time, Shuge Asked: “So, you have seen prophecies about me?”
“Yes, we have seen your appearance, we have all seen it… It is a great prophetic dream, a blessing given by the Messenger of All Faces, allowing us to glimpse the fragments and reality of the future.”
Hearing these words, Xiuge was slightly startled. He quickly memorized these contents while maintaining the pressure to release: “Oh? So what did you see?”
“I saw your arrival, your rebirth, your battles, and… and your final coronation.”
Bayliss recalled the fragments he had glimpsed in the “ritual dream”. His expressions were constantly changing, and his eyes were wandering, as if he had touched the ultimate reality: “We all saw it, you You will become the guide who leads us into the truth, you will become the only reality in this world of nothingness, and you will become God!”
These words silenced Shuge.
He knew that Bayliss was simply an unimportant outcast in the Black Sun Society. It would be difficult for him to truly gain access to the secrets of the Black Sun Society. However, in order to ensure the loyalty and availability of its members, the Black Sun Society would definitely Show them some “miracles” on an ongoing basis.
The “prophetic dream” mentioned by Bayliss is obviously one form of “miracle”.
“Prophetic dreams…sounds like this is how the Black Sun Society obtained those prophecies.”
Shuge thought in his mind: “So, in fact, they have been ‘peeping’ into the future in some way, using it as a reference for their own actions or trying every means to promote its realization?”
At this time, Bayliss had finished explaining almost all the information he knew. He looked at Shuge eagerly: “Can you…can you grant me salvation? Or give me more real revelations?”
“you ask me?”
Shuge’s tone changed.
At this moment, he put away Charron’s Touch, lifted the suppression of magic power given to Bayliss, and at the same time dissipated the deep fog in his eyes: “Okay, I will give you some ‘real revelations’ .”
Xiuge stood up from his crouching state. He gently patted the corner of his clothes and said in a different tone than before: “The truth is that you went for a bunch of meaningless prophecies and a human being.” The so-called association of garbage and cancer costs everything and you get nothing.”
In the rapidly changing eyes and expressions of Bayliss, Shuge said softly: “Be proud, Bayliss, everything you have done will make this war break out completely, and your life, family and relatives will all become this war.” The most trivial price in the process, but unfortunately, you will never be able to see the arrival of the black sun, and the gods you believe in… Oh, they will not know you at all, nor will they care about your dedication. “
He looked at Bayliss quietly, as if he was examining a piece of useless waste: “I’m afraid the Black Sun Society didn’t tell you, right? The gods you believe in have already failed once a long time ago. , which is why humans are the masters of Van En now.”
While speaking, a mage’s hand flew over, holding a piece of paper full of words between its fingers.
Shuge stretched out his hand to take the paper and shook it twice in front of Bayliss: “You see, the prophecy has deceived you. I, the so-called ‘miracle’ in the prophecy, did not stand on your god’s side. Here, thank you for your confession.”
After saying that, Xiuge took the detailed and abridged confession and walked towards the door of the interrogation room.
Amidst Bellis’s desperate and miserable roar, Shuge pushed the door open, and the terrifying sound immediately leaked out along the crack of the door, startling the already drowsy Princess Sophia standing outside the door, but she Immediately afterwards, the paper handed over by Shuge made her completely energetic.
Princess Sophia quickly started reading by the light, and then she was surprised: “Huh? How did you do that?”
Xiuge asked expressionlessly: “Didn’t His Highness let the butler use magic to spy on the situation inside?”
Finn shook his head: “Mr. Shuge, even the deep sea level mages can’t let their magic penetrate the walls and doors made of magic silver… If I can do it, Then there will be no need for other soldiers or any new ordnance in the coming war. I alone will be enough to incorporate Merlin Lehe into Votel’s territory.”
After hearing Fenn’s false words, Shuge had no choice but to laugh. He shrugged: “Of course it’s all about reason and emotion… Anyway, I didn’t use any drastic measures. He looks like this. Just out of fear.”
Sophia’s sense of smell was very sensitive. She smelled some unpleasant smells, so she reached out and covered her nose: “Are you scared?”
“Yes, even members of the Black Sun Society will collapse when their beliefs fade away.”
