Chapter 199: A glance at each other, a moment out of control
Chris looked at Wardhouse in shock, there was such a strange and extraordinary way, not by taking potions, but directly awakening in the body?!
And just now he said 20 sequential pathways, and sure enough, 16 is not all.
It's no wonder that, despite Mr. Oliver's great knowledge, Waldhouse is the second most important figure in the Fedlenburg Church after all, and he must have seen a lot of confidential files.
"What are these particular sequence pathways called?" Chris's intellectual curiosity had overcome his timidity towards Wardhouse, after all, it was something that Mr. Oliver had not even mentioned.
Wardhouse crossed his hands on the table, and a ruffian smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"I only know four of the special sequence pathways, the first of which is what we just called 'monsters', they are born with an affinity for all kinds of xenomorph creatures, and they can create all kinds of xenomorph monsters in the later stage.
"The second one is called 'soothsayers', and as the name suggests, they are proficient in all kinds of divination, and they can predict the past and the future through divination. The reason why your 'greedy money' can be divined is that I made it with the extraordinary characteristics of a 'soothsayer'.
"The third is called 'novelist', who can create and change the trajectory of things around him through his own writing and recording.
"The fourth is called 'The Gambler', who is good at accumulating good fortune, playing tricks on fate, and even changing the fate of himself and others. ”
Chris was in turmoil when he heard the fourth, all-too-familiar term. This was the first time he had heard the sequence path of "Gambler" from the mouth of a second person, and he did not expect that he would be called one of the four special sequence pathways by Wardhouse.
Chris suppressed his excitement, pretending to be curious that he had never heard of, looked at Wardhouse and asked:
"Headquarters, why are these four paths a special sequence pathway, is there any connection between them?"
Wardhouse showed a look of "intellectual retardation", and replied angrily:
"I've just given a general introduction to their extraordinary abilities, and it's clear that what they have in common is that they all have some authority over 'destiny', but in different directions. ”
This...... Chris showed undisguised surprise, this is also the first time he has heard about "fate", even if it is another self, he only told himself that he can accumulate "good luck" and be able to transfer the "good luck" of others, but he didn't expect that "gambler" can even change fate!
Just listen to Waldhouse continue:
"It's because they all have extraordinary abilities related to 'fate' more or less that they are uniformly planned by the extraordinary world as a special sequence pathway.
And it turns out that although most of their combat capabilities are not strong, their extraordinary abilities are known for their weirdness. And because most of their Sequence 9 are born awakened, and they don't seem to have the potion formula of Sequence 9, the number of extraordinary people in these special sequence pathways is very rare. ”
The number is very scarce...... It's no wonder that he said that he didn't perceive other "gamblers" in the gambling house before, and under his own secret inquiries from the people around him, no one seemed to have heard of this sequence path.
"Captain, besides Erica, have you seen any of the other Immortals of these four pathways?" asked Chris cheekily.
Wardhouse seemed a little annoyed by Chris's question, and said impatiently:
"I've naturally seen more than one, well, it's not the time for you to come into contact with these now, it's better to follow your captain to listen more, think more, learn more experience, and strive to become a qualified 'punisher' captain in the future. ”
He waved his hand and motioned for Chris to leave.
Chris is helpless, even if the truth he wants to know most is right in front of him, he still can't be too active and curious, so as not to show unnecessary horses.
After walking out of Wardhouse's office, seeing that there was no one at the door, Chris went directly to the office of the fifth team on the same floor, which is the "Black Cat Office".
Speaking of which, there are dozens of rooms on this floor, and Chris has not yet taken the initiative to visit the offices of the other four "Punisher" teams.
Just as Chris was about to knock on the door, the door was opened by Paul, and Chris walked in to see that his captain and teammates were all there, and the weekly summary meeting was going on.
"Just now the boss said that you arrived at the door, but I didn't expect it to be true. Elton, who was leaning on the sofa, looked at Chris and said lazily, and then looked at James, "Boss, are you so spiritually advanced now?"
James touched the door of his brain and smiled innocently:
"It's nothing, you don't have to rush, you can do it when you get to Sequence 7. ”
"Well, I still don't know what the key to digesting the 'Arcanist' is, and I always feel as if I'm at a dead end. Elton said with a frown.
Chris sat in the empty seat next to Wayne, in fact, he had already summed up a little bit of the rules for playing the "Arcanist", but the last time he just proposed a head, he was decisively vetoed by Elton, so he didn't want to say anything now.
It's not that Chris is hiding his secrets, it's just that he feels that he is still in the exploration stage, so he wants to wait for a more complete digestion method to be summarized in the future, and it is not too late to discuss it with Elton.
At this time, Bonnie suddenly raised her hand and said:
"I think that since I entered the church's hospital and studied with the dean, Mr. George, for a few days, the 'apothecary' potion in my body seems to have been digested a lot, which shows that the digestion method that Sister Wayne said really works. ”
Looking at Bonnie's admiring eyes, Wayne, who was sitting in front of Chris, suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile:
"That's still your willingness to endure hardships and study, Dalton told me, you have been by his side for the past few days, and you seem to be working extra hard, and you have never thought that a little girl of your age would work so hard in medicine. ”
Bonnie blushed a little from the praise, and she knew in her heart that the reason why she was working so hard was not because she wanted to catch up with someone as soon as possible, and she could fight side by side with him, not only as a protected party.
Meanwhile, while they were discussing, the Earl of Wellington was visiting the Archbishop of the Constant Sun, Craigie Longman, at the Church of the Constant Sun in the North End.
Wellington, dressed in a Clark gown, sat on the couch, looked at Craigie with a smile and asked:
"Mr. Longman, I have come today to explain to you one thing, and that is about my wife, Sally.
"To tell you the truth, I've been sending people to investigate the matter for twelve years all these years, and just a few days ago, I accidentally learned that Sally was actually from the 'Gate of Hades', and she was also an extraordinary person in the 'witch' pathway, and she was also involved in that matter.
"So I'm here today to ask you what to do next. ”
Craigie Longman, who was wearing a white robe, looked at the city lord in front of him with a kind face, and Zach had already reported to him through a secret channel about Sally's matter, so he was not surprised by this, and said directly:
"Since she is a member of the 'Gate of Hades', there may be a lot of implications, and I suggest that you stand still and act as if you don't know anything. And aren't you looking for that kid right now? I think that's probably the most important thing for you right now. ”
"What about the whereabouts of that child?" Wellington looked eagerly at Archbishop Craigie, hoping for some revelation.
Craigie heard what Wellington meant, but shook his head slightly:
"All I know is that he's in Federenburg right now and seems to be doing well. As for divination and foresight, although I am already an archbishop, I am still not proficient in this aspect. ”
In fact, it's not that the Constant Light Sun Church doesn't have magical items that can be divined, it's just that this kind of foreign object must need some kind of fate medium, last time Craigie had asked Wellington for a drop of blood, but the effect was not obvious, and he could only vaguely divinate the other party's location and life status, and the rest was unknown.
Wellington sighed in his heart, but there was no disappointment on his face, and after a few words of greeting with a smile, he left the Constant Light Sun Church.
After getting into the private carriage outside the door, Wellington instructed Brant, the valet:
"Now go to the Church of the God of Machines and Wisdom. ”
Then, half an hour later, out of respect, the Earl of Wellington lifted off the carriage, and when he passed by the "Golden Tulip", it was also the moment when James and his party came out.
Although it was only a quick face-to-face, Chris and Wellington still looked at each other, and then a wonderful scene appeared.
I saw Chris suddenly pick up his head in pain, and the golden light in his eyes suddenly appeared, and then Chris's pupils kept alternating between blue and dark brown.
And on his skin, fine flesh-colored particles are rapidly rising, and there seems to be more and more tendency.
James, the most spiritual, was the first to notice the anomaly, so he hurried up to Chris, and shouted:
"Don't think about anything now! Stabilize the potions and spirits in your body, and don't let them continue to get out of control!"
Immediately afterwards, the other team members also discovered Chris's abnormality, although they didn't know what caused the loss of control, but they still quickly surrounded him to prevent his current weird scene from being seen by outsiders, and it was also to prevent this loss of control from being irreversible due to the influence of the outside world.
Wellington, who walked to the door of the "Golden Tulip", looked at the group of strange people in front of him with some puzzlement, but he also knew that this was the base camp of the "Punisher", and it was normal for the people inside to behave strangely.
Wellington didn't think much of it and continued to the Church of the Mechanics and Wisdom next to the Golden Tulip.
