Chapter 490: Meeting in Prison
Eliad glanced at Todd and nodded to Meredith, "What do you want to talk about your father?"
The latter found a chair and sat down, combing the feathers on his body, and asked, "How is he recovering now?"
"His body has been steadily recovering under the influence of the Beacon Tower, and in the last two years I have increased the dose of the tyrant, believing that the final ritual will be completed soon. ”
Meredith looked at the old man and said calmly, "I'm not talking about his body, I'm talking about his soul. ”
Eliad was a little surprised, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Is the creature sleeping in the volcano really my father, or is it just a flesh-and-blood being?"
Eliad stared into Meredith's eyes without speaking.
"Is it true that the copied individuals using a part of the human body are exactly the same as the original, or even the soul?"
Meredith smiled, "Isn't there a best example of this before us? Eleanor's copy, Richel, is completely different in personality and values. According to this reasoning, does the individual reproduced from the remains of my father Sutherland really have the same soul as the Buddha-figure?"
Eliad stroked his long beard with his hand, still silent.
"In fact, you have long known these truths, and you also understand that using the method of human body replication to resurrect xenomorph sages is simply a dead end. Meredith shook her head slightly, a hint of fatigue on her face: "Actually, resurrecting Sutherland is just a front, your real intention is to control the Xenomorph Association and use it to establish your own power, right?"
Eliad said expressionlessly, "Your father's resurrection will be an indispensable prerequisite for the rise of the entire alien race. ”
"As soon as the news of the resurrection of Sutherland's ancestors spreads throughout the continent, the xenos will swarm and come under Sutherland's banner, coalesce into a mighty army, and destroy everything in the world. Meredith smiled at Eliad and said, "And the monster under the volcano, its every move has long been controlled by you. So, this army of xenomorphs, you are the real emperor behind the scenes. ”
Eliad sighed: "Grand Master, if you look at everything I have done from such a utilitarian perspective, it will hurt my old man's heart too much...... If you doubt my intentions, I can deliver your father's army into the hands of his daughter. ”
"And pull me into the war between you and Eleanor?" Meredith smiled and shrugged, "Thanks, but still don't have to." ”
"A long time ago, I had a dream that my father had come back from the dead, and that the different races were living in an equal and just world. But now, thousands of years have passed, reality has stung my soul again and again, and the dream has finally awakened......"
Meredith stood up from his chair: "Eliade, look beyond your horizons, power and power are just a game, and the world is just an experiment. ”
Eliad stared at Meredith and asked in a low voice, "As a daughter, is this a declaration of breaking with her father?"
"It's not a declaration, it's just an exhortation at best. Meredith said, "By the way, there's one more thing, I'm going to take a person." Richel, she's with you, right?"
Eliad tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, looking at the crowfeather woman in front of him, the expression on his face cloudy.
"It's a stupid idea to weigh whether or not I should be left behind. Meredith observed Eliade's movements and expressions, and glanced back without a trace: "What's more, I also brought a helper." ”
Looking at Todd, who had not spoken a word and remained motionless all the time, Eliad sighed slightly: "Grand Master, your current actions are not only abandoning your father, but also breaking the oath of the alien race. ”
Meredith smiled slightly, "I'm just going to get out of this farce." ”
Eliad leaned forward, his voice low and terrifying: "Then I still have a question, the tyrant solvent needed for the resurrection ceremony......"
Meredith paused for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll help you finish one more batch, and this will be the last batch." ”
Illad breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up, walked over to the bookshelf, pulled a handle, and a tunnel appeared on the ground.
Seeing Eliad walk into the tunnel, Meredith came to Todd and whispered, "Don't do anything after you see Richel." ”
The latter nodded.
Following Meredith into the tunnels, Todd leads to a secret prison built underground.
The air was filled with the smell of alcohol and blood, and the ground was slimy to step on, giving a very uncomfortable feeling.
Eliad said as she walked ahead, "Rachel has discovered our secret, and it seems to me that she knows more about the obelisk in the crater than you and me. ”
Meredith responded, "You're trying to say that she learned something special during her time in Twilight?"
Eliad walked to the door of a prison cell, turned back and said, "The king of Twilight, the young man named Todd Fischer, is most likely the Chosen One. From him, Richer must have obtained a lot of information about the creator god. ”
"You interrogated her?"
"No, not at all. After being arrested, she confessed a lot herself. Eliad fumbled for the key to the prison in her pocket, and said, "However, before that, she had secretly copied a lot of notes from me, and even my laboratory was sneaked into by her. ”
Eliad inserted the key into the lock hole and turned it hard: "However, I did not find the notes she copied on Richel's body, she must have given the things to Sabrina and delayed the latter's escape." ”
Meredith asked, "What exactly did she copy?"
"With all the observation records and research books about the Beacon Tower, I'm really curious, what exactly does this kid want to do when he copies these things?"
Eliad pushed open the heavy iron door, and the creaking of the shafts was followed by a screeching sound of chains.
Richel, whose limbs were imprisoned by the Forbidden Ring, was chained to the wall with her cape.
She looked at Eliad as she walked into the cage, chuckled and said, "Are you looking for answers again?"
Eliad turned to his side, allowing Meredith and Todd to walk into the prison.
The moment Todd stepped into the room, Rachel's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
