Chapter 210: Suspicion
83_83153 The two climbed all the way up the mountain, and just as they were about to reach the top of the mountain, a winding step suddenly appeared in front of their eyes. The peaks from here are so steep that it is impossible to climb them with bare hands, so you have to walk up the steps slowly.
Just as White Cocoon was about to take the first step, the master suddenly reached out to stop him, and then took out a small compass from his bag.
"This is the compass?"
"It's not an ordinary compass, this pointer refers to the area around us where the flow of True Qi is most intense."
"That's right...... But what's the use of getting this now? ”
White Cocoon tilted his head, there was only one path left in front of him, and in any case they would either go up this path or return the way they came, it seemed that the master was completely redundant now. However, the white cocoon did not rush up in spite of the master's behavior.
"I just want to see if this path is a deliberate illusion to confuse us. Wouldn't it be interesting if this was an illusion and there was an abyss ahead, so we just jumped like that? ”
It's not fun at all, is it? The white cocoon almost couldn't help but complain loudly about the smiling master, obviously until he heard the cocoon just now and left, he had always been obedient, and he didn't say a word!
But in the end, he didn't do it, because what the master said did make sense, so he didn't stop the master from continuing to chant the incantation at the compass. A burst of electronic sound came out of the compass, and then the needle of the compass suddenly began to rotate violently, and finally slowly stabilized, staying in the direction of the top of the mountain, which means that there was a huge fluctuation of true qi at the top of the mountain.
The master changed several more places, and finally even reached the intersection, and the compass did not point the pointer to the staircase that spiraled up the mountain, so the master finally breathed a sigh of relief and put the compass in his bag.
In fact, the white cocoon had already put his mind at ease just now and began to wait for the master, because he had already checked the staircase with the ability of his own eyes, and found that it was really just a very ordinary staircase, which was much more intuitive and convenient than the compass, and it was also more trustworthy.
"Let's hurry, we don't know what will happen to the top of the mountain."
The master shook his head and pinched his fingers at the top of the mountain, but he frowned and shook his head. White Cocoon knew that he either hadn't calculated anything, or that something bad had happened, so he quickly ran up with him.
Every time you climb a flight of steps, there will be two huge stone pillars on the two sections of the steps, and at the top of the stone pillars, you can see two different flags hanging each time, some with colorful graphics and some with simple symbols. Several times the white cocoon couldn't help but stop to study the patterns, and he always felt that those patterns were not placed there at random, but had a certain meaning, and this meaning was quite important.
But he also knew that now was not the time to do such a thing, and every time the master would urge him to do something quickly.
Even so, they wasted considerable time on the way, when they crossed the last step at their feet, and then turned a corner to see the huge temple towering in front of them.
A pedestal made of towering stone blocks rests quietly on the top of this hill, and above this pedestal is a shrine. There is a staircase in all three directions of the temple leading to the massive stone platform, and at the top of the temple is a large stone sphere. Below the stone ball was the top of the spire-shaped temple, and the stone ball was only a point supporting it, but the stone ball just stopped there.
"There's actually a shrine here, and it doesn't look like a classical Chinese building......
After being reminded by the master, Bai Cocoon also felt that such a building should not appear in China, because this is not the architectural style here at all, but more like Western architecture.
"Shall you go in and have a look?"
Although he asked symbolically, the master had already taken several steps forward, and he had no intention of taking care of Bai Cocoon's opinion at all, just like he said before, Bai Cocoon was just a person behind the palace, and it was better to have it, and it didn't matter if he didn't.
White Cocoon hesitated in place for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little confused. If the master didn't know how powerful he was before, then forget it, but obviously in Jian Yi Village before, even if the master couldn't use spells, he could still fight normally, and it was impossible to say that this didn't scare the master.
Besides, now thinking back to the previous things, Bai Cocoon suddenly felt confused, obviously the master himself took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to come, which proves that the master must have something to help Bai Cocoon, but he only said that Bai Cocoon helped the queen of the palace, and even always looked like he was dispensable, isn't this inconsistent?
Along the way, the master is a person who solves things by himself, and even a bit like a suspicion of showing off his strength in front of the white cocoon, although the white cocoon is also happy to be idle, but he can't help but start to doubt the true purpose of the master.
This demon extermination conference is definitely not aimed at the white cocoon, he is quite clear about this, it may be that the master wants to achieve something through this demon extermination conference, and the white cocoon can just help him achieve this goal.
White Cocoon shook his head, he was alone here and thinking blindly, and the final result was that the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became, but it was even more fruitless, just adding to his troubles, so after running these distracting thoughts out of his mind, he also hurried to catch up, but this time he was more or less wary of the master.
"What's wrong with you?"
I don't know if the master is more sensitive, or the change in the white cocoon is too obvious, or the master has actually been paying attention to the white cocoon's every move, and he actually noticed a small change in the white cocoon's mentality at once.
"I'm fine, it's just that I don't know what happened to so many people now, and it's a little uncomfortable."
White Cocoon shook her head, and quickly found a very reasonable reason to prevaricate. The master also shook his head, and then sighed:
"We have to prepare for the worst now, which is that all those people have already died, and only then can we accept whatever happens."
Cocoon nodded and stopped talking, and the master turned his attention back to finding the entrance to the temple.
It is true that there are three stairs at the top of this towering stone platform, but those steps lead to the top of the temple, and it is not known whether they can enter it, and even if they can enter it, the master does not know how to fly to the top of this stone platform!
Of course, this is not a problem for White Cocoon, he plans to fly in by himself if there is really no way, leaving the master alone, and by the way, he can also see how he reacts.
But this was just a thought, and the white cocoon soon found that there were several stones carved into them at the bottom of the stone platform, and they could be pressed down with a light press of his hand. It's clearly a mechanism, but I don't know how to use it, and I don't know what the consequences will be.
"Let me look into it."
The master who studies this pattern can be regarded as an expert, at least the white cocoon can't compare to him, since the master took the initiative to crack it, the white cocoon also watched quietly from the side, and thought about it by the way.
"What the hell was that angel before, you haven't explained it to me yet......"
The first thing that came to the mind of the white cocoon was not anything else, it was the angel-like thing that was called a weapon in the shape of Zhu Wan'er, which she had just seen not long ago.
"Hey, I was sealed about twenty-five years ago, and half of it was actually my own will, because at that time the whole world was devastated, although we had time to repair it, but the repair process was quite long, what should I do during this time? We can only keep the world in a healthy state on the surface and avoid some adverse social reactions. ”
"What is the bad social reaction?"
"That's it, in short, there are some things that you must never tell the truth to the people, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable."
Zhu Wan'er sighed and explained, obviously she had been deeply entangled in this matter at that time, and finally had to obey reality. Bai Cocoon had never experienced this kind of thing, so she didn't have an intuitive feeling, but she could also hear a trace of helplessness in Zhu Wan'er's tone.
"I already know this, I'm asking you ......"
"The reason why this world is devastated is because once, in the very center of Linhai City, a tall tower suddenly rose up, the same tower we saw in your consciousness space before. The tower was constantly radiating energy to the outside world, making the whole city inexplicable, and finally even attracting all the owners of the Origin Stones. ”
"At that time, in fact, the organization that resisted the rule of the Origin Stone had a considerable scale, and those who had the Origin Stone carried out a simple rule, but the matter was more complicated, in short, it was said that there was a very important Origin Stone in that tower, and it was also the last one that did not fall into this world, so everyone wanted to grab him."
"So, what happened to that Origin Stone?"
White Cocoon became nervous, if there really was such an important origin stone, then why hadn't he heard of it until now?
"I heard that the stone was snatched by a man in Game Zero, but a lot of things happened later, so the most convincing argument so far is that the origin stone has been destroyed."
"And that's the most convincing?"
There was always a feeling in Bai Cocoon's heart that the Origin Stone was not so easy to destroy, otherwise there would be no need to deliberately create that kind of weapon to deal with it. So when Zhu Wan'er said this, he subconsciously felt disbelieving.
"This is a comprehensive consideration of various possibilities, and it is precisely because of the existence of this most convincing statement that which angel-like weapons will not suddenly appear all at once."
"Why is that?"
"It is true that which weapons come out to defeat the rule of the Origin Stone, but this world is already in tatters, what if it is completely destroyed at that time? Now that there is such a way to destroy the Origin Stone without realizing it, everyone will naturally have such hopes. ”
"Maybe this is fake news that they put out on purpose......"
White Cocoon thought of this possibility again, could it be the fake news that someone deliberately released in order to prevent those weapons from being born? But this possibility was vetoed by Zhu Wan'er at once:
"Yes, there are people who believe so, so they have been looking for the stone, but they haven't found it yet. Even those who have Origin Stones are the same...... This problem is also more complicated to explain, and there will be time to talk about it slowly in the future, in short, the stone should have been destroyed by now. ”
"Okay, so what does that have to do with that weapon?"
Bai Cocoon pursed her lips, a little unconvinced, but Zhu Wan'er couldn't force her to continue if she didn't say anything, so she had to follow her train of thought.
"I was involved in the design of those weapons, but I was the one who stopped them from going into mass production, first of all, because there was no possibility of mass production, and even if it was made on a small scale, it would have huge consequences, but in the end, someone ran away with the blueprints."
"You're saying someone stole the blueprint of that weapon and made it themselves?"
"That's right, because I fell into a deep sleep not long after that, so I don't know what happened next."
After listening to Zhu Wan'er's words, Bai Cocoon suddenly became worried, and even the design drawings were taken away, which means that Zhu Wan'er is not the only one who may be made into a weapon, and many people have become this kind of weapon, which makes Bai Cocoon feel very uncomfortable.
"Judging by your mother's reaction, it's obvious that she has been involved in that series of things before, you might as well ask her, maybe there will be more receipts, after all, I've been just a bystander from beginning to end."
"This ......"
White Cocoon rolled his eyes, he felt that it was not the right time to ask his mother these things now, before that he should obviously have a good relationship with the current Wenren Cocoon, because White Cocoon felt that she was completely like another person when she came back.
And he actually knew what Zhu Wan'er was planning, and he just wanted to know how much people knew through his body. Of course, White Cocoon doesn't mind letting her know, and he might even take the initiative to let her know.
"That's it!"
I have to say that the master pinched the time very well every time, and this time it was Bai Cocoon's voice that came over just after the conversation, and Bai Cocoon felt that he had actually been under the master's surveillance, and even the conversation between him and Zhu Wan'er was heard clearly!
