Pains began to rattle Liard's temples, and a feeling of nausea ran through his suffocating chest, and he wanted to get out of the account and take a big gulp of fresh air, but his legs were so heavy that he couldn't move.

The maiden priest looked at Lird who looked strange in front of him, stopped talking and looked at him with concern, and then said, "Are you okay?" Lird nodded quite hard, and then continued to work hard to adjust his breathing, and finally closed his eyes and took a long breath, and only after he was stable did he open his eyes and said to the maiden priest: "That town is completely gone?"

The maiden said, "It's amazing, isn't it?"

Liard's face turned pale and said, "It's very weird!"

The maiden priest smiled lightly and said, "That's true, it's really unbelievable in the eyes of normal people. ”

Lird wanted to ask the other party about it, but after thinking about it, he didn't need to question the ironclad evidence of reality at the moment, his father was in danger, and he would not use his life to make up such a lie with himself.

After pondering for a long time, Lird said: "Whether the military town is destroyed or disappears, all in all, the expected effect has been achieved, so why didn't the follow-up plan succeed?"

The maiden priestess shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, although we were very surprised and even frightened after that military town disappeared in an instant, we were still happy, no matter what we achieved our goal, but the truth is by no means as simple as we thought." ”

"After that, there was no movement on the part of the various forces, as if nothing had happened, not even the slightest reaction from the British army in India, except for a few groups of investigators two days after the disappearance of the military town, there was no reaction at all, and there was no control or search of the surrounding area, as if... That unit was transferred away on its own initiative. Until now, no party has reacted to the matter. ”

Lird only felt his head grow heavier, and he couldn't guess what was going on even if he tried to break his brain.

The maiden priestess slowly walked back to her seat and sat down, her face slightly condensed, "In any case, this time the plan was a complete failure, I violated the ancestral brake and used the clan's guardian, and Mr. Pym even took his own life, but in the end it was all in vain. ”

Liard's mind was a little blank, and he didn't think much about the girl's sacrifice, but said casually: "Fortunately, although it didn't work, there was not much loss..."

The maiden priestly said, "Do you really think this is what it looks like?"

Liald looked at the maiden sacrifice in a daze, a little confused.

The maiden priestess sighed lightly and said, "The inexplicable disappearance of a military array of hundreds of people is not a trivial matter no matter when and where it is placed, it is not abnormal to cause a war with great fanfare as we envisioned before, and the current situation is absolutely unusual. ”

After being reminded by the other party, Lird suddenly realized something, and then began to realize the seriousness of the problem.

The maiden priest said: "The calm performance of the British army has reached a state of 'harboring ghosts', and their silence is actually to achieve a state of concealment, and they want to use this calm to make other forces around them relax their vigilance, so as to carry out their own plans." ”

Lird's mind suddenly flashed back to Jim's always lamenting sadness, overflowing with despair for tomorrow, but his performance was not fully understood by Lird at that time, this time Lird finally understood, no matter what kind of links there were, Jim should be aware of the outcome of this plan, and he understood the seriousness of the matter, which is why he was so worried about the future.

Lird swallowed a mouthful of spit, and at this moment he also felt a nameless fear, a feeling of fear in its simplest form, which stemmed from the most normal physiological response of life when it was spared danger.

At the same time, another thought occurred in Lird's mind, that is, his father should be fully aware of this dangerous situation, so why did he insist so much on bringing himself here and putting himself in such danger?

At this time, Lird did not resent his father, but he was very incomprehensible to his father's actions.

The maiden priestess had no idea about the entanglement of Liard's father and son, and she still explained the current fragile peaceful environment in a relatively indifferent tone.

"Now this time India is in a very sensitive period of pattern, some time ago I also heard that the United States completely participated in this war, there is no doubt that the trend of this war will change greatly, but the British army's performance in the European theater has always been unsatisfactory, which has also led to its military deterrence in other areas has been affected, in recent years Gandhi in India held a rebellion in full swing, not surprisingly, there will be a large-scale explosive resistance in the recent past, Britain is overwhelmed with this, so at this time they are not very like a branch。 But they will never forget it. ”

With that, the maiden priestess sighed lightly and muttered, "Maybe in some places we can't see, they've already started to act. ”

"You mean to say that they have vaguely sensed that something is wrong, or at least they already know that the whole British army has disappeared from some kind of overloaded force." ”

The maiden priestess nodded and said: "Don't underestimate the content of the information held by a state apparatus, what the people know is always just a surface, and the darkest and most secret things may not be released for thousands of years, and I absolutely believe in this." ”

After that, the maiden priest changed her tone and said: "Even if those ordinary investigators can't find any clues, as long as they report the matter to the high-level, some secret agencies will find out the clues of the matter, and based on the information in their hands, although they can't know the truth, they will eventually detect the rough shape of the matter." ”

Lird said, "Isn't it very dangerous here?"

The maiden priest nodded and said, "There is a dangerous building, why are you scared?"

Lird wanted to shake his head in denial, but his heart didn't make him do so, and he nodded anyway.

Seeing this, the maiden priestess sneered and said, "Sure enough, it's Mr. Pym's son, is it really very honest?"

Lird smiled bitterly: "Presumably at this time, no one will not be afraid, right, aren't you afraid?"

The maiden priestess thought for a moment and said, "Actually, my own fear of death is not great, but what I am carrying is not only my personal net worth, I have to complicate it for all my clansmen, and this is the source of all my fears. ”

Although the words of the maiden sacrifice were calm, but Lird felt the heaviness on the shoulders of the maiden sacrifice in the words, looking at the thin girl in front of him, Lird had to admit that if he walked into the campus, he would inevitably be a goddess like the school flower, loved and sought after by countless people, but this is the age when he should enjoy happiness, but he has to shoulder the responsibility of the rise and fall of the clan in the war, and he has to make a difficult but also correct choice in this most malicious era, thinking of this, Lird can't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart。

However, this emotion soon passed, because Lird was now more concerned about his father, and whatever his father did, Lird had to find a way to save his life, even if he knew that there was no hope.

"Let me tell you about my father's injury, since you are willing to tell me this secret, then there is no need to hide my father's condition, I have seen the strange symptoms of his body in the daytime. Speaking of which, Lird suddenly found that the word "weird" had begun to appear frequently in his life.

"Absolutely. The maiden priest said noncommittally.

"For some reason, it was Mr. Pym who was the man who controlled the forces to attack the British military town. As I said before, the so-called power is like a flame, and it is impossible to drive out the wolves without igniting it on the torch, but in this process Mr. Pym is not a 'man' with a torch, but a torch. ”

Leard's heart was shocked when he heard this, but he also understood why his father was so traumatized, although he was very dissatisfied after learning the truth, but he also understood that it was useless to question and accuse the other party now, and all he could do was accept all these things.

"Actually, we didn't expect this to happen at the time, because before we started to carry out this plan, we had done some corresponding tests, and several tests proved that everything was normal, and Mr. Pym's body could withstand that strength..."

Lird said coldly, "But my father is only a mortal after all. ”

The maiden priestess heard the meaning of Lird's words, smiled lightly and didn't care about it, and then continued: "It's true that this matter is my dereliction of duty, but at that time there was really no other way, I'm not afraid that you don't like to hear it, if we can turn back time and do it all over again, maybe we will do it again." ”

"You..." Lird was even more furious when he heard this, but he swallowed back the words to his lips, and could only wait for the other party's next words.

"The accident happened on the night of the execution of the plan, and that night we began to attack the British military town as originally planned. In our intended plan, all we were going to do was an attack, and our purpose was to create chaos and cause chaos in the region in a way that was fake, not to kill someone in a single hit. But it backfired, and that night's power... Went berserk. ”

Rampage.

This word sent chills through Lird's heart.

The maiden priest said: "You have not seen such a military town, it is definitely not a military camp like usual, because of the remote location, its role is only the storage and dispatch of some military supplies, so warehouses, barracks and other facilities are everything, and its stationing is also very scattered, and even we don't want to go up and down here, just imagine, how much explosives are needed to completely eradicate and destroy us here?"

Lird naturally couldn't imagine the specific amount of this, but when he thought of such a huge amount of energy flowing through his father's body, he felt extremely frightened, and those powers were like countless "Yin soldiers", released with the help of his father's body, erasing the military town of hundreds of people with their supplies, leaving no trace, this terrifying scene was simply unimaginable. Not even the most ridiculous newspapers and magazines in San Francisco could do that.

And it is really a miracle that his father, who has been baptized by such a powerful force, can still survive now, and Lird suddenly thought that his father had said that it was the girl in front of him who sacrificed all his strength and finally saved his father's life, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, thinking of this, Liard's heart can't help but feel a little more grateful.

Unaware of the change in Lird's heart, the Maiden continued: "The extreme rampage of that force was something that no one expected, and I tried my best to restrain it at the time, but in the end it was only a drop in the bucket, and when the power was restored and controlled, and disappeared, the entire military town was wiped out. ”

"Aside from its destructive power, the damage it does to Mr. Pym's body is incalculable, just like a smoker, who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day may not show adverse effects until decades, and if he is allowed to smoke a thousand cigarettes in five minutes, then the only thing that awaits him is death. ”

Although the metaphor of the maiden's sacrifice made Lird very uncomfortable, there was no doubt that this explanation made him understand the whole story, and Lird suddenly thought of his father's "torch" Character, after driving away the wolves, the end of the torch is only the result of burning out, Lird believes that his father should be mentally prepared when he starts to do this, but what makes him never understand is why his father chose to do this, in the face of the safety of a non-related alien, can he really do such a thing as giving his life?

The Maiden Priestess paused for a moment to give Lird some time to digest the contents, and then continued: "But Mr. Pym's state is still different, to be precise, that power passes through Mr. Pym's body and does not harm his body, but because the energy of his rampage is too huge, and even if Mr. Pym uses this destruction to erase a military town, he still can't completely release the power in his body, and some power remains in his body, so there is the current situation. ”

Lird couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, although he could accept the previous content, but now this situation surprised him.

At this time, the maiden priestess smiled bitterly and said, "If a person who has that power can become a god, then Mr. Pym is still a god." ”
