Chapter 35: The Sacrifice of the Gods
The old professor seemed to be too excited, and he didn't think about the consequences of saying this kind of thing in public, fortunately, he was old, his voice was not too loud, and it only caused a small riot, but Su Wenhao's face sank, and now that the army was defeated, they retreated here, although there was no mobile phone and online articles, but the rumors spread faster, and it wouldn't be long before this matter spread among all the survivors!
But at this time, Su Wenhao couldn't care so much, worried that his worst expectations would come true, so he hurriedly greeted the old professor and his team, and asked, "Professor Chen, what's going on?" What sacrifice? What sacrifice? ”
Su Chen was silent on the side at this time.
He could see that the situation seemed to be quite wrong, the military was seriously understaffed, there were only so few people underground, and there were not many people guarding outside, but the survivors poured in in batches, several times more than the military.
The serious shortage of the military actually means that the gathering of a large number of survivors is not organized by the military who are too busy to take care of themselves, and in this case, with Su Chen seeing the rout on the battlefield at that time, a large number of survivors fled scattered, how could it be so coincidental that they gathered here in less than ten hours?
And this Professor Chen, who came out of nowhere, even said, "We are all sacrifices."
This act of sacrificing immediately reminded Su Chen of the god that the slender ghost he had killed in the Sky View Hotel had spoken of!
Professor Chen also seemed to realize that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly stabilized his tone, while showing Su Wenhao a bunch of data that the other party couldn't understand at all, and said, "We are directly below the spatial crack above our heads, when we came here just now, didn't you say that you felt the light became brighter?" That's not the color difference change that occurs when your eyes adapt to the change in the environment, but the real environment brightens -
"The spatial rift above our heads is undergoing a violent energy response, although this time only the blood-colored rift in this area of the Cloud City store above our heads has changed, its frequency and wavelength changes are almost the same as the changes we have observed before it gets dark, and its energy response, although gradually jumping to the peak in our records, has not yet reached the critical threshold...... It seems that there is a lack of some kind of support that is critical to make it to the top.
"And just now, a large number of slender ghosts crossed our line, ignored our warriors, and went directly to the roof of the building, making some kind of arrangement, causing a large-scale dark energy anomaly...... Combined with our previous data, we have completely confirmed that these monsters want to grab the dark energy of our 'sacrifices' in the form of sacrifices, so as to support the blood-colored rift above their heads to reach the energy peak of the changes expected by those monsters...... And then to achieve the purpose of their sacrifice, and then cause some kind of change that we cannot yet predict.
"And combined with what we have learned about the belief in the gods of the monsters, their various abnormal behaviors that actively drive us together without killing us can only be to sacrifice us to the gods they fear and fear!"
Su Wenhao was confused: "Professor Chen, don't tell me these twists and turns, I don't understand, you tell me directly, what is the situation?" And what are the consequences? What should we do? What are we going to do with their sacrifices? ”
Professor Chen's words solved Su Chen's doubts.
A large number of survivors were indeed driven here on purpose, and this Cloud City store has turned into an altar for monsters!
Su Chen's gaze kept falling on Professor Chen: this Professor Chen obviously had important information about the Cataclysm and these monsters that he had been trying to figure out!
What is wrong with this world has always been something Su Chen wants to figure out. You can't live long if you've been chased by monsters all the time, and the stronger you become, the more you know, the longer you can live.
Moreover, this Professor Chen has an understanding of dark energy, space, and monsters, and may be able to find some inspiration from him to step into the second level.
Su Chen had faintly touched the gate of the second level before, and he had a certain feeling that if he could break through the gate of the second level, his ability might undergo incredible new changes!
The battle armor has been completed, and now entering the second level is Su Chen's top priority.
Professor Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, okay, let me say this, those monsters gathered so many people and wanted to sacrifice us as sacrifices. If you stay here, you will almost certainly die. Moreover, their rituals are not purely meaningless, but are really intended to serve some purpose, or to make their gods come down for a real time.
"But if I'm right, enough dark energy is the key to these monsters' sacrifices. As human beings, we don't have much dark energy, it's very thin, so they have to gather many, many people to achieve the purpose they need, and the huge number and bloody sacrifice method are also in line with their mad belief in evil gods......
"However, the situation does not seem to have reached the worst yet, because the dark energy of a single ordinary human is very thin, and the accumulation can support the sacrifice, but if the monsters want to complete the sacrifice, they must first find the main sacrifice with enough dark energy reserves, that is, the powerful talent, before they can really start their strange sacrifice ritual, and then it is when our ordinary sacrifices come into play. And with the few talents who are fighting outside now, they are not strong enough at all, at least they have to always refer to the C-level or above talents over there! One, or even two!
"So, I think there may be some time when the sacrificial rites won't start anytime soon.
"While the monsters don't know that we have insight into their intentions, Deputy Battalion Commander Su, can you find a chance to break out?
"And ...... If you can, I want you to send a few people to help me install a few sensors and cameras, I want to see what they want to do, although this kind of sacrifice is said to be a sacrifice, but since it is to extract energy, there must be dark energy technology of these monsters, which is extremely useful for us...... Even if we can't see the technology, maybe we can find the existence that really controls these monsters behind the scenes!
"God theoretically does not really exist, but is only the blind worship of ignorant civilization and low-intelligence creatures...... If we can get in touch with each other, we might be able to figure out what the gods behind these monsters are! ”
Professor Chen's words were even a little excited, and when he looked up, he found that Su Wenhao on the other side had a strange face, and he was turning his head to look at the other two people beside him, muttering in his mouth: "C level or above...... Gifted? ”
Professor Chen immediately turned his head to look at the two people he had almost ignored.
Su Chen, whose clothes were in tatters, was ignored by him as an ordinary passer-by on the spot, and when he saw Lin Mo, who was half-human, half-monster and looked terrifying, his eyes suddenly sank: "Talented? ”
Professor Chen and Su Wenhao's conversation Lin Mo and Su Chen both heard it clearly, they were not stupid, and they thought of something in an instant.
Lin Mo's face was even more ugly: "I was here about seven or eight days ago, and whether it is a black-scaled monster or a slender ghost, they all know that I am here, but they have never attacked me......
"That's right.
"I'm the main sacrifice."
Su Chen's face also sank, and he had a feeling that I had stepped into the pit.
But at that time, he was also determined to stay here, if he didn't have the buffer of these days here, he wouldn't have been able to get such a precious opportunity to forge a battle armor, the danger and opportunity are equal, and the world is fair. The current situation, he can also accept it, the battle armor has been completed, he can attack and defend, and he is no longer the obscene Su Chen who runs around with his body!
And Su Chen faintly felt that if nothing else, he might not be as important as Lin Mo in the monster, but he should have already been listed as one of the sacrifices.
Otherwise, he shouldn't have been able to travel so easily between the outside of the Cloud City store these days.
It's just that the controller who presides over the entire sacrificial ritual may not have imagined that even this time and again, his own combat power has quietly undergone a qualitative change.
Therefore, Su Chen was not too nervous, on the one hand, it was his tempering of blood and fire these days; On the other hand, he has all his armor and has both offense and defense, unless there are thousands of black-scaled monsters outside that cover the streets, he doesn't believe that he can't kill them!
Professor Chen was the kind of person who had joy, anger, sorrow and sorrow on his face, and when he heard this, his face turned pale, and he said, "It's over, according to our calculations, the ordinary number of people needed for the sacrifice is enough, and the main sacrifice is also here...... I'm afraid the sacrifice is about to begin, and we won't be able to leave...... Maybe we'll be able to see what they're trying to do and how to extract dark energy, and maybe we'll be able to leave some data and observations in a few words......"
Su Wenhao's face was also gloomy, although he didn't know as much as Professor Chen, but in fact, he had already noticed that something was wrong, but the number of monsters was too much, the number of black-scaled monsters and slender ghosts was approaching two hundred, and the remnants of the defeated army on his side added up to no more than fifty people and had no heavy weapons, so they could only be driven all the way here.
Su Wenhao raised his head and looked at the survivors who had spread rumors and become chaotic, and couldn't help clenching his fists, and his heart was full of despair.
If he had enough troops, he would have turned this ghost sacrifice ritual upside down, but now, whether they could survive or not was probably a problem.
Su Wenhao still tried to calm his mind, and pressed Professor Chen, who was in a trance: "Professor Chen, there must still be a chance, you are an expert in studying these monsters and dark energy, think about it, can you analyze the weaknesses and disadvantages of these monsters, and find out what ways to do it?" My brothers and I must fight to the death! ”
