Chapter 1226: Counterattack
"Al, tell me, what have those two guys been doing lately?"
Sitting on the empty throne inside the obelisk, Morlock rested his chin in one hand and stared at the distant gate with his eyes.
As the founder of the city and the supreme master, he should never be nervous or flustered.
With the knowledge he received from an old friend, he had established a network of order in the area called the rainbow.
This network can not only withstand the invasion of all kinds of wild monsters, but even the most powerful overlords will subconsciously ignore the city and not attack it.
In addition, after a long period of harvesting spiritual power in the name of "taxes", Morlock's power has long been different from what it used to be, even if he can't move while sitting on a chair, he can easily sense every move in most areas of the city.
But unfortunately, the Dark Alley area is clearly not one of them.
The lifeform known as El obviously does not have a specific form, and appears under the throne like a gust of wind, its body is silver-gray translucent, and it bends down and bows deeply: "Venerable City Lord, one of your two guests has never come out of the memory room, and the other has gone deep into the dark alley area many times to harvest spiritual power. From what I've observed, I'm afraid he's already starting to show signs of addiction. ”
"Oh, addicted, are you sure!" said Morlock's eyes.
"I'm pretty sure! He obviously doesn't know the drawbacks of absorbing and releasing a large amount of mental power in a short period of time, and I believe that it won't be long before he becomes a pawn under your control, just like the other guys. Al replied in the affirmative.
"Very well, what about Byron?" asked Morlock, following closely.
This time, Al shook his head regretfully, "I'm so sorry! Lord Byron disappeared after receiving the news from you. No one knows where he's gone, the only thing he knows is what he's secretly planning. ”
"Gone?!"
Hearing this, Morlock's pupils contracted suddenly, and one of his hands clutched the armrest, and it took two or three minutes before he touched his chin and muttered, "Damn! this guy must be really crazy enough to carry out his crazy plan, right?"
"What's the plan!" Al looked up curiously.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't! That's not something you can know. Forget it, is there any important news?" Morlock seemed to not want to continue the conversation, and decisively changed the subject.
"No, there seems to be one more thing. After returning from the Dark Alley last time, one of your guests brought back a companion. According to my observations, the spiritual powers of the two of them are very similar, and it can even be said that they are almost one. I've never seen in my life where two independent consciousnesses fit so well, and maybe you should pay attention to it. ”
"Well, that sounds interesting! Go, send them a message for me, and say that I have something important to discuss with them. ”
"Now, isn't it too obvious?"
"Idiot, do you think I still need to posturing?"
"As you wish!"
......
Simple!
Brusque!
Direct!
Without too much euphemism and disguise!
The spiritual world is like the most intuitive embodiment of the heart, so it is almost impossible to do things without too many scruples.
Especially for the strong, they only need to give direct orders to engrave, and the weak are only left to be devoured and destroyed in addition to obediently obeying.
You don't need to ask to know that it is impossible for Zhang Cheng and the three others to defeat a city lord in a head-on confrontation, so they are not qualified to refuse.
It didn't take long for them to appear in front of the giant.
"You're the new guy, if I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be from the same place as them, aren't you?" Morlock stared at Zhang Cheng meaningfully.
I don't know why, he felt an unprecedented threat in this guy who seemed to be far weaker than himself.
"Yes, Lord of the City. Zhang Cheng politely stroked his chest with one hand and owed a debt.
"Interesting! Can you tell me, besides you, how many other people have come from that so-called material universe?" Morlock continued to probe and look up and down, trying to find out what it was that made him feel restless.
Regrettably, this is futile.
Unless he tore open Zhang Cheng's body, he would never be able to find the organ that had been cut from the overlord's corpse.
Zhang Cheng, who has always been sensitive, quickly sensed the unusual scrutiny, and responded with a smile: "As far as I know, there may be about three." But don't worry, they are all complete losers, and they don't even have the courage to challenge the unknown. Such garbage, even if it survives, is destined to be rejected by the whole world, and poses no threat at all. ”
"Listen to your tone, they all seem to have been defeated by you?" Morlock changed his sitting position, tapping lightly on the armrest with one of his hands, trying to increase the psychological pressure in this way.
Zhang Cheng shook his head noncommittally: "It can be said that it can be said that it is not." Because it wasn't me who really defeated them, it was themselves, this world where the spirit was supreme. All I did was open the passage and drive them over from the other side. ”
"You opened a passage, what about this passage?" Morlock suddenly came to his senses, leaning forward slightly.
"I don't know! Maybe it's still there, maybe it's gone. I couldn't even confirm the location of that place myself. If you're interested, consider catching those losers. If they are really rejected by the world, they will inevitably carry traces of pollution in their spirits. And this pollution can help you locate that connection point. Zhang Cheng explained half-truthfully.
Of course, to some extent, his theory is correct.
But what about the real situation?
If Morlock does find that connection, he will be greeted by vanishing and eternal death.
Unfortunately, Morlock didn't realize the danger of this matter, and continued to ask impatiently: "So how can we find those guys?"
"Hehe, it's very simple, I just have some leftovers of them here. I believe that with your strength, it should not be difficult to find them. And I can provide some extra help if needed, if you are willing to provide some knowledge and information......"
