Chapter 565: The Right Choice
It took a lot of effort for Chu Tianjiang to sort out his thoughts.
The Shadow Alliance had no chance of revival anymore, and Chu Tianjiang knew better that if he didn't take action, Iska would become the twelfth patriarch of the church.
"Wait a minute, I'll send you out."
"I'm not going to leave here until Iska is rescued."
Harold sighed and said, "You should know that Holmes did not let the saint kill Iska, but brought her back, not to transform her into a senator, but for you, to attract you, to get what is in you." ”
"What's on me?"
"You know what it is, and Iskar knows it, I'm just guessing."
"Guess?"
"You are the savior, and you have entered the Holy Mountain and met the two empresses, then you must have obtained the Biochemical Warframe. If my guess is correct, you've bonded with the BioShock. Harold looked at Chu Tianjiang, "What Holmes wants is the biochemical armor on your body. ”
"I'm not going to let him get his way, and I'm not going to give up Iskara."
"But you're no match for him at all."
"That's not for sure."
Harold sighed and said, "No matter how powerful you are, don't underestimate the patriarchs of the church, especially those who are modulated by Feister. ”
"Isn't it amazing?"
"Except for Fester, Holmes has the strongest mind control of all the patriarchs." Harold pointed to his head and said, "If he wishes, he can establish a spiritual connection with any saint who has been concocted, and know everything that the saint of the Tao sees, hears, and feels." If you've used a Bio Warframe to protect Iska you, he'll know who you are. ”
"What about the rest?"
"As far as I know, he is not a combat-type veteran, and his personal combat power is not strong, but his mental control can make everyone his tool."
"This ......"
"The other patriarchs are all combat-type, and they all have a very outstanding superpower, and their combat effectiveness is far above that of other modulators."
"For example......"
"I don't know about the other patriarchs, after all, my status here is not very high, and there is only the tenth patriarch, Reka, who has done the concoction here. His superpower is the ability to control gravity and attack opponents through gravity. No one could defeat him in the gravitational field he had created. ”
"It's nothing."
Harold shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No matter what, I don't recommend you to take the risk." ”
"There are some things, if we don't stick to them, then we will lose our humanity and our value as human beings." Chu Tianjiang stood up, "I'm grateful that you can tell me these things and let me know more about the enemy, but I have to do what I should do." ”
At this time, Chu Tianjiang had already realized that from the beginning, his existence was not a secret.
As the figure says, he has been under the watchful eye of the church since the farm, and the church has deliberately set many traps to deal with him. It's just that Holmes didn't know Chu Tianjiang's personal ability, so when dealing with him, he didn't use his strongest strength. For example, after Chu Tianjiang left the farm, Homs only sent one saint to deal with him, and he happened to be met by Iskar. If Holmes knew that Chu Tianjiang had obtained the Colorful Battle Armor from the underground human civilization, as well as the genetic virus antibody specially developed for him, he would have sent more saints over. After suffering two setbacks, Holmes changed his strategy, and instead of directly dealing with Chu Tianjiang, he aimed the finger at Iska, and used Iskar to lure Chu Tianjiang to the temple and let Chu Tianjiang take risks for Iska .
The problem is that Chu Tianjiang knows that he must not leave Iskar behind.
It's not a question of ability, it's a question of whether or not to do it, or human nature.
Harold also stood up. "Well, I don't know I can convince you. Now, I'll send you to the bottom and help you find Isca. ”
"Professor......
"We have to hurry. Holmes will certainly not let you go, let alone Iska. What's more, in order to deal with you, he will immediately turn Iskar into the Senate. ”
"This ......"
"Obviously, you are a person who values love and righteousness, and you will definitely not deal with Iska."
Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly. If he faced Iska, who had become the patriarch of the church, he really had no way to kill the killer.
Harold picked up the phone and gave instructions to the assistant who remained outside.
Not long after, Lance cart came to the laboratory with a huge metal cabinet on it, and Harold asked Chu Tianjiang to hide it in the cabinet.
Because the figure's detector had failed, Chu Tianjiang didn't know what was happening outside the Dao.
It took a long time for the cabinet to be opened.
It was a room, cramped, with only one console and rather rudimentary furnishings.
"What is this place?"
"The lowest level of the temple. The intruder's spaceship is just outside. Harold gestured to the wall on the left, then worked on the console.
When Chu Tianjiang walked in front of the wall, the wall turned into transparent glass.
When he saw the huge, ovoid object outside, Chu Tianjiang was immediately dumbfounded.
Although according to the information provided by the figure, Chu Tianjiang had already known that the invader's spaceship was a living form and was controlled by the invader, but when he saw this behemoth, Chu Tianjiang was still extremely shocked. The oval spacecraft is at least five hundred meters high and more than three hundred meters in diameter. There are three brackets underneath, and they go deep underground. There are no holes in the surface for personnel to enter and exit.
"It's a creature."
Chu Tianjiang turned his head and looked at Harold.
"It's been 10,000 years, but it's still alive." Harold only looked at the three scaffolds, "That's its tentacles, it's its organ for energy, all the way down to the mantle, and it's used to get geothermal energy." That's why it's always alive. ”
"Alive?"
"It's not quite like the higher beings we know, it's more like a collection of lower beings."
"What do you mean?"
"It has no heart, no brain, no nervous system, and each cell is a single living organism, even if it is stripped from its mother, it can survive independently as long as it can obtain energy from the outside world. To put it figuratively, it's a big mass of living bacteria. ”
"This ......"
"That's exactly what I'm working on." Harold let out a long sigh and said, "After the temple was built, Holmes has been trying to figure out the inside of the spaceship. To this end, he put a lot of effort into it, and even used a high-energy laser to burn a large hole in the shell of the spaceship, and then let the mutants go in to find out. However, when left unchecked, the spacecraft repels all foreign objects and is extremely resilient. After discovering an alien invasion, the spacecraft will automatically seal the exit, and then generate high temperatures, pressures, and magnetic fields inside to kill all intruding objects. If the invading object is resistant to high temperatures and pressures, such as a piece of metal with a high melting point, the spacecraft will also produce a strong acid. All in all, Holmes's efforts almost failed. ”
"Almost?"
"It only worked once."
"What do you mean?"
"At that time, Holmes specially concocted two saints to make them resistant to heat and pressure, and to survive in a strong acid environment for a few minutes. That is, these two saints went deep into the spaceship, roughly figured out the internal structure of the spaceship, discovered the control station located in the center of the spaceship, and knew that there were three control positions in the spaceship, so as to conclude that the key to controlling the spaceship was the biochemical armor. ”
"So Holmes is trying to find the Biochemical Warframe?"
Harold nodded and said, "Of course, this is just Holmes's speculation. Because the invaders are gone, and the set of biochemical armor left behind is hidden by the Shadow Empire, there is no way to confirm this suspicion. However, you can confirm it now. ”
"No, I'll have to find Iskar first."
"It's late."
"What?"
Harold sighed and nodded at Lance, who was standing next to the console, and above the console, a virtual three-dimensional projection image appeared.
Seeing the image, Chu Tianjiang immediately tightened his brows.
It was a special concoction cabinet, and it was Iskar lying inside. In her, there are some pipes inserted, and there are more obvious changes in her body.
"Where is she?"
"Above, the eighty-seventh floor, the Patriarch Modulation Center."
"How do I get there?"
"It's too late." Harold let out a long sigh and said, "The concoction has begun, and if you stop it now, you're going to kill her." ”
"What?"
"The concoction can't be done halfway, and if it ends halfway, even if she doesn't die immediately, she will live for a few days at most."
"But ......"
"Professor." Lance suddenly shouted.
When Chu Tianjiang and Harold turned around, two people appeared on the virtual three-dimensional projection screen.
"That white-haired old man is Homs, and the other one is Reka." Harold glanced at Chu Tianjiang. "It must have been Holmes who called Reka, and he already knew that you had entered the temple. There are two elders, and you are certainly no match for them, and maybe there are more ones on the way. ”
"No matter what, I'm not going to give up."
Harold sighed and said, "The only way to save Iskar is to wait until the concoction is over, and hopefully she will still recognize you by then." ”
"The concoction will make her lose her memory?"
"No, but it will change her consciousness and make her a different person." Harold gritted his teeth and said, "Reka is also a member of the Shadow Alliance, and he used to be an Elder. Before being modulated, he was the strongest and most determined person in the Shadow Alliance. But after concoction, he became a different person, the strongest warrior in the church, and the most devout believer. ”
"Damn!"
"Whether you listen or not, I think you should make the right choice."
Chu Tianjiang glanced at the spaceship outside, and he knew that he had to make the right choice now.
