At that time, I was going around challenging the gym, and no matter who I was looking for, I deliberately acted as if there was no one in sight. This is because martial artists are basically creatures with strong self-esteem, often fighting without speculation, and some people who practice special mental methods will even develop a strong and deformed self-esteem. Taking a step back, even if the martial artists of the Gym don't care about their own humiliation, they also care about the reputation of the Gym, so my posture is quite effective.

It's just that in the process of what people play, it is easy to change their nature unconsciously, and later on, what is to play and what is to be in nature will gradually become confused. People saw me as a ruthless warrior, and I was so complacent about it that at some point I even made some statements that made adults blush. Now that I think about it, it really makes people want to find a gap in the floor to get into. Fortunately, I withdrew in time, probably not developing any bad roots, and later summarized the "gaffes" during that time, so that there would be no growth.

When the drone told me that the swordsman had re-emerged and was frantically searching for me all over the world, frankly, I didn't pay much attention. Because the magic eye is an identity that I have long abandoned, he wants to find the door through this clue, and it is no use. Not to mention that his combat power directly pursues the demon slaying expert, even if his sword power directly catches up with the legendary alpha-level psyker, as long as he can't cut me, it is equivalent to nothing. Besides, there are so many people who want to find me and kill me that I don't know how long the line can be, and if I can't sleep at night just because there are strong men who kill me, then I might as well retire early.

And so, at noon that day, I went to the doctor's house in Turin. This time, I didn't just go to train the elixir preparation skills, I asked her for help.

She seemed to have just finished her lunch when I noticed a few extra takeout boxes in her trash can, and judging by the food scraps, it was another unhealthy dish. She is obviously a doctor, but her living habits are similar to Xu Shengxing, as long as I look away, I can't remember how nutrition is written.

In that case, I might as well make something for her next time...... No, I'm a Faceling now. I have to keep a cold attitude, how can a cold Faceling buy and cook for the Turin doctor himself?

"What's wrong, Faceling?" The voice of the Turin doctor came. At this time, she was lying in the umbrella cart, which was placed in the living room, and I was standing not far from her.

I replied, "I have something to ask you for." ”

"What is it?" She asked slowly.

"Do you know anything about this?" I took a picture out of my pocket and showed it to her.

She cooperated, and moved her head slightly, as if she could really use her eyes blindfolded by black cloth to see what was in the photo, "Well, this is ......"

The photo shows a dusty Buddha carving, wooden, dilapidated and old.

Yes, there is also a Buddha culture in this world. It's just that the Buddhist culture was extinct a long time ago, along with the previous civilization, with the advent of hell catastrophe.

In addition, as an aside, because of some similarities and differences between this world and my hometown, I once suspected that I had not traveled to another world, but to the future of my home world, but because of a hellish catastrophe in between, this world was changed beyond recognition and became like another world - in fact, the alliance did not seal the knowledge of the previous civilization, and I myself did in-depth investigation, this is an authentic other world.

Then, let's talk about this Buddha sculpture.

The Buddha sculpture was originally owned by a wealthy man and collector in Beaver City, but just half a month ago, the rich man transported the Buddha sculpture to a villa in the suburbs with other collections, but it was attacked by withered believers in the suburbs. As a result, people were sacrificed on the spot, the Buddha carvings were lost, and the rest of the collection was unharmed. As soon as his relatives saw the scene of this strange hunt, they knew that it was the work of the withered believers, and immediately found some "private detectives" in the black area, wanting to know the real reason why the withered believers attacked the rich people, lest the matter be over after the withered believers snatched the Buddha statue, and the fire would burn to them.

As for why they didn't call the police, here are just two points: first, the rich and their relatives are actually not very clean; Second, in this sin city, the greatest evil force is not the underground force.

However, they were obviously not familiar with the Black Zone, so the matter was quickly found out to the drone tipster and relayed it to me.

He told me because I paid him to help me keep an eye on information about the withered cultists.

Why should I care about information about withered believers? There are three reasons for this: first, it is likely that the withered believers were involved in the betrayal of my ex-partner last year; Second, according to Violent Say, the withered believers still intend to work against me today; Third, the remaining two main materials of the withdrawal drug, one of which is only available to them, and the other is not their exclusive property, but they also account for a lot.

The two main materials are called "The Suicide Note of the Fetus" and "The New Blood of the Dead".

Although my original plan was to become a psyker first and then go to their trouble, it seems that my plan is still too idealistic.

I told the Turin doctor what I knew, and she nodded, "Your information is correct, and this is indeed the work of the withered believers. ”

"Why do you say that?" I could hear her outside the strings.

"I have an impression of this Buddha carving." She said.

I remembered that she was also a withered believer, and perhaps she had a clear idea of the reason why the withered believer snatched this Buddha sculpture.

"Do you remember what I told you before, the reason why the withered believers are against you?" She asked.

"I remember." I said, "You say that the withering believers believe that the 'different people' are different in soul from the average person, and that this can help their evil rituals in some way. So geniuses in every field have the potential to become their prey. ”

"So, do you know the 'prophets'?" She asked another question that didn't sound like a cow.

I replied, "'Prophet' refers to a character who was able to foresee danger in the way forward in an unpredictable way in the Hell's Holocaust, allowing certain teams to survive...... Why mention this? ”

She said something I didn't expect, "The so-called 'prophets' are the same kind of people as the true 'different people' that withered believers seek." ”

"Whoever has advanced a certain distance in certain areas of knowledge will see more things than the average person. For example, when faced with a glass of cloudy solution, most people will only see the surface, but chemists may judge the composition and proportion of the solution by its specific color and smell, as well as its reaction when it comes into contact with other substances. If the solution is replaced by a human and a chemist is replaced by a surgeon, the former may appear in the eyes of the latter, and the picture may look like a profile of the human body. Although she looks like a crippled young girl of about nine years old, she often speaks in a seductive tone like a knowledgeable teacher, "Of course, it does not mean that you can really see through this kind of picture, it is just a picture that is reasoned and imagined in your mind based on her own rich knowledge." ”

"However, there are individuals among them, who are different. They may be too obsessed, or they may be too genius, or they may have some kind of psychological aberration, so they gradually cannot distinguish the boundary between reality and imagination. She continued, "If that's all there is to it, then it's just a matter of thinking they're crazy and seeing unrealistic hallucinations." An illusion is an illusion, and even if it seems real, it cannot match reality in the details. In fact, there are quite a few cases of such psychiatry. But the problem is that they can get information from the sights and sounds that should be hallucinatory and corroborate with reality. ”

"In their view," she said, "the universe we live in may be made up of two different signals; may be composed of language and writing; Probably composed of membranes and frequencies that can only be described mathematically......"

— Or, made up of gears and levers. The thought popped into my mind uncontrollably.

I chewed on her words over and over again, mixing these horrific secrets with saliva and slowly fermenting them on my tongue until I swallowed them all.

After a long time, I finally spoke, "So, this is the Prophet." And the prophets were able to see dangers that others could not see because they did see a different universe. ”

"Exactly." She nodded.

"So, what does this have to do with withering believers snatching this Buddha statue?" I asked.

"A few years ago, there was a genius woodcarver who went berserk at home and committed suicide a month later. Before committing suicide, he carved countless works of art, and this Buddha sculpture is one of them. It is said that this Buddha statue contains the knowledge of a madman, and only other prophets can access its contents. The withered believers, on the other hand, believe that he committed suicide because he saw some unknown aspect of the universe at a deeper level, and that his mad soul was locked up in one of the works of art. ”

In other words, what the withered believers really want is neither the Buddha sculpture nor some kind of appalling knowledge in the Buddha carving, but the soul of the artist who may be hidden in the Buddha carving.

"What's the name of this artist?" I asked curiously.

The Turin doctor replied with a good memory: "Franzisco. Tuscany. Arezzo. ”

For the sake of convenience, let's call him a "crazy artist" in the future.

"So, Faceling, what do you want me to help you?" The Turin doctor asked.

"I'm going to find the withered believers who snatched this Buddha statue." I say.

"What about after you find it?"

"From their mouths, there are clues about the two elixir materials, 'the suicide note of the fetus' and the 'new blood of the deceased'."

Insert a sentence, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!

"However, I have been away from the Church of the Earth for a long time, and I don't know the whereabouts of the withered believers in Beaver City and its vicinity." She said.

"Since ancient times, dreams have been associated with prophecy. Psykers who are good at dreams are often also good at divination. I said, "I want you to do a divination for me." ”
