The temple is not only a forbidden place for the Church, but also a research center and a military base.

After going deep into the temple, Chu Tianjiang, under the guidance of the figure, attacked a guard who was moving alone, and then changed into the uniform of the guard. It didn't take much effort for Chu Tianjiang to discover that there were not only holy warriors here, but also saints, as well as more scientific researchers wearing white robes.

The next discovery made Chu Tianjiang even more dumbfounded.

As he guessed, the holy warriors were brainwashed ordinary people, and the key was in their helmets, which had a control system inside. This system is not only capable of controlling the behavior of the holy warriors, but also being able to convey orders from superiors and provide feedback to superiors. What's more, this system is directly linked to the holy warrior's nervous system, so if the helmet is removed, the holy warrior will die.

After being transformed, the Holy Warrior became a fighting machine with no personal consciousness.

It's just that the holy warrior is just the lowest level of "fighting machine".

Above, there are the saints.

As Iskar says, the saints are concocted products.

In a huge room, Chu Tianjiang found hundreds of modulation cabinets. Like the Holy Warriors, the Saints were originally ordinary people, but they were not brainwashed, or only brainwashed. They were originally believers in the church, and they possessed some of the more prominent abilities, and some even had superpowers. After converting to the Church, they were selected and then concocted to become holy warriors.

The so-called modulation is to change their genes through high-tech means, so that they have stronger superpowers.

The strongest superpower is naturally transformation. Of course, if you are facing a normal enemy, such as the Daredevil, the Saint can easily win without having to transform. Only when encountering stronger enemies, such as members of the Shadow Alliance, who also have superpowers, will the Saints need to transform to enhance their superpowers. After the transformation, the Saint's combat power can be increased tenfold. It's just that the saints can't return to their original appearance on their own after being transformed.

Because the Church has mastered the relevant techniques, it can produce saints in large numbers.

In peacetime, the church does not need too many saints. It's just that now it seems that the church is hurrying to reconcile the saints, so something very important must have happened.

However, the saints are not the strongest fighters of the Church.

In a separate room, there were several more advanced modulation cabinets, which contained several church personnel who were being concocted.

According to the information on the control system, these people are all high-ranking members of the church.

They all have official status, and most of them are bishops of some regions, and some are patriarchs of the church. They possess extremely strong superpowers in their own right, and through modulation, they gain even greater superpowers. To put it simply, they are able to transform like the saints, and by doing so, they gain greater superpowers. What's more, they are able to regain their original appearance after transforming.

These discoveries made Chu Tianjiang realize that the church was forming a large army.

In the temple, there are thousands of saints who have completed the concoction, and thousands of saints are being concocted, and there are countless holy warriors who have completed the brainwashing. According to Chu Tianjiang's estimates, there are at least tens of thousands of people here, excluding thousands of scientific researchers, most of whom are warriors with superpowers.

Obviously, this is a very abnormal thing.

Without an imminent threat, there was simply no reason for the Church to form such a large legion.

The question is, where is the imminent threat?

The Shadow Alliance has been destroyed by the Church, and even the last survivors have been captured. In the old continent, in addition to the Holy Empire attached to the Church, there is only the North Wind Country in a remote corner.

Could it be that the North Wind Nation intends to invade the Shadow Empire, or is the Shadow Empire planning to wage war against the North Wind Nation?

There is another possibility. The invaders found that Chu Tianjiang had returned to this world realm, and found Clara and the others, so they planned to deal with Chu Tianjiang.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang feels that this possibility is very small.

If you deal with him, those holy warriors and saints are useless at all, and they have to use the strongest power of the church anyway, so there is no need to concoct so many super soldiers.

With this question, Chu Tianjiang continued to explore in the temple.

His aim is to find Iska.

Continuing down, Chu Tianjiang came to an elevator.

"Stop!"

Hearing the scolding sound coming from behind him, Chu Tianjiang knew that trouble was coming.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Chu Tianjiang didn't move, he was thinking about what to do next.

Kill that guy? Obviously, it is not realistic, if there is a disturbance, it will soon be discovered by more people, and when the time comes, let alone find Iska, it is unlikely that even if you leave here. Managed to slip away? The figure's detector had failed, and he didn't know which way to flee.

What to do?

"Hey, I'll talk to you. E998, what are you doing here? ”

"E 998" is the code name of the guard who Chu Tianjiang attacked, and the number is printed on the uniform and helmet, which can be seen at a glance.

The man walked in, a captain of the guard.

"I called him."

Hearing this, Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, and he also saw the young man who came out of the elevator, and it was a woman.

"Doctor's ......"

"There was some garbage to dispose of, and I asked him to come over. E ninety-nine, come in. ”

She's a doctor!? Chu Tianjiang was very puzzled, but at this time he had no other way but to enter the elevator according to the woman's instructions.

The captain of the guard did not stop Chu Tianjiang, nor did he follow.

After the elevator door closed, the woman glanced at Chu Tianjiang, didn't say anything, and put her right thumb on the fingerprint reader on the control panel. The elevator starts and goes down. It took about two minutes before he stopped and opened the door.

"Follow me."

The young woman said a word and stepped out of the elevator.

Chu Tianjiang followed out of the elevator, although he wanted to slip away immediately, but thinking that the young woman wanted to harm him, he would not come out to help him at that time, so he followed.

This floor is full of research labs, and each one is huge.

After taking Chu Tianjiang around a few corners, the young woman stopped outside a laboratory.

"The professor is waiting for you, go in."

"Professor?"

The young woman nodded, didn't say anything more, and pushed the door open.

Chu Tianjiang gritted his teeth, walked into the laboratory, and the door was immediately closed.

There was a man inside, an old man, standing next to the console with his back to the gate.

"Hello, I didn't expect to meet here." The old man turned around and greeted Chu Tianjiang. "Now, take off your mask, I've turned off the monitor here."

"Are you ......" Chu Tianjiang was very puzzled, because he didn't know this old man.

"My name is Harold, and I'm the head of this lab. It's my student, Dr. Lance, who started picking you up. "The old man came over." We're meeting for the first time, but I know what you're here for. Iska is still alive, it's just that she's in a very dangerous situation. ”

"You know I'm here for Iska?"

The old man nodded. "Like her, I'm a member of the Shadow Alliance."

"What?"

"Of course, I'm not like her, she's been rebelling against the church from the outside, but I'm breaking into the church and collecting intelligence for the Alliance."

"This ......"

"Sit down, what would you like to drink?"

"No need. Where is she now? ”

"Right here, at the bottom."

"How do I get to the bottom?"

"I know that you want to save her, but you are in such a hurry to save her, it will only hurt her."

"But ......"

"I found you when you entered the temple." Harold glanced at Chu Tianjiang, then sighed and said, "When Iska was brought back, I knew that someone would come to save her, and then I managed to control the temple's monitoring and security system. Otherwise, you'd have been discovered. ”

"How do you know I'm going to come to save her?"

"It was a saint who captured her, and this guy was sent by Professor Holmes, and there were more than a hundred holy warriors with him, and he was the only one who came back." Harold shrugged his shoulders. "Apparently, he was in trouble with the capture of Iskar and lost all his men. Iskar simply doesn't have the ability to deal with so many holy warriors, so someone must be with her. ”

"This ......"

"Obviously, this person is the one we've been waiting for."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"You went to the Holy Mountain, you should have seen the two empresses."

Chu Tianjiang didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, because he didn't know whether Lu Dao should believe the old man in front of him who claimed to be a member of the Shadow Alliance.

"Obviously, you don't know much about this world." Harold saw Chu Tianjiang's thoughts. "Actually, months ago, before the onset of winter, the church knew about your existence and spent a winter planning an action specifically for you. Unfortunately, the saint sent to deal with you was doomed before he reached the farm. If I'm not mistaken, you killed him. ”

"You didn't guess wrong."

Harold nodded and said, "The problem is, you killed that saint and didn't solve the problem. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Subsequently, the Church sent more saints against you and forced you to flee with Iska into the snowy mountains."

"This ......"

"Until then, your actions have been under the control of the Church. It was only after you entered the Snowy Ridge and the Church lost track of you that a more significant decision was made. ”

"Eradicate the Shadow Alliance?"

Harold let out a long breath and said, "Actually, it's a matter of time before it happens, it doesn't matter to you directly, it's just that your arrival makes the church decide to take action in advance." ”

Chu Tianjiang frowned, obviously this old man knew a lot of things.
