Chapter 17: The Puzzle
"Now, let's get started."
After fulfilling Brother Salted's request, the trial once again straightened his face, his hands outstretched, and embraced the darkness.
With an ancient whisper, the sky rumbled and trembled, as if it had been connected to the universe in that instant.
Something seemed to crawl in the depths of the darkness, and the eyes as large as planets seemed to lurk inside, petrifying everyone present.
An extremely terrifying sense of crisis hit Cheng Hai's heart from behind, but he didn't turn his head away.
In the sky, the body of judgment had already floated, and the faint and misty light had caused an inexplicable sense of sacredness in this area.
"Revered One of all things, the Great All-Knowing and Almighty God. Your most faithful believers are here to offer you a sacrifice in exchange for a billionth of your power......"
The whisper of a murmur triggered the void, and six gray marks fell from the sky and landed on the arms of the four.
At that moment, Cheng Hai felt as if he was being peeped at by Naia. He glanced at the sigil in his hand, then at the heavenly judgment, and held his breath.
His disguise relies on a mask, and although he doesn't have to wear it on his face, if he uses divine power to force the probe, it is very likely that his anomaly protected by the will of the world will be detected.
"Is it going to come this after all?"
He closed his eyes and waited for the moment when the judgment would kick in.
It's over, and this unexpectedly long lurking journey is coming to an end on this night.
"Alright, you guys go back."
An unexpected voice came out of the judge's mouth, causing Cheng Hai to open his eyes unexpectedly.
"It's as simple as that?"
Areth looked at the back of his hand, which had an intricate rune resembling an eyeball.
The rest of the apostles are also puzzled, and here all the apostles are gathered, isn't it the best chance to catch the traitor by forceful means?
"I said, the time for action is not tonight, let's disperse."
The mood of the judgment became a little strange, and he didn't want to say more, and turned away first.
"This ...... It's too sloppy, right? ”
The Night Lady looked at the rest of the Apostles with a look of wariness in her eyes.
She knew the trial very well, and that guy didn't give him any tasks, which meant that he didn't trust him. If she's mistaken for an inner ghost, she's going to fuck up!
"Forget it, I'm leaving."
Extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Cheng Hai took the lead in turning around, making a goodbye gesture with his back to everyone, and left here.
"Well, there will be a date later."
Areth let out a long sigh and left.
Then, there is the Lady of the Night.
Watching his former colleagues leave one by one, Brother Salted Fish's eyes crossed a trace of loneliness: "It's been more than a thousand years, I didn't expect it to come to an end in just a few dozen days." ”
"You're doing this, you're startling the snake."
The figure of the judgment appeared behind him, and he had not left until then.
"I just wanted to know who made things this way sooner, even if it was a second earlier." Brother Salted Fish looked at the photo in his hand with a calm face.
He also knows the trial very well, this guy is too cautious and will only hide all the information in his stomach. If he hadn't tempted himself, he might not have known the answer until he died.
"Don't think about these haves and don'ts, the contradictions between us and this planet are irreconcilable, and this day will come sooner or later."
"Let me be quiet."
Brother Salted Fish lay down, looking at the dark sky in a large font, with a cold expression.
The judge didn't say anything about it and left the place.
"Lies, all lies."
Salted Fish just lay there, staring at the picture in his hand for a long time, and finally burned it to ashes with flames.
……
Walking out of the portal, Cheng Hai sat on the sofa in the rental house rented by Xuyuan, without turning on the lights.
Darkness surrounded him like a tidal wave, but the constant traffic on the streets made the place less eerie.
Recalling the absurd gathering just now, Cheng Hai's thinking came to an impasse.
"There's no problem with the food, and the sigil is just a normal summoning sigil, so am I exposed or not?"
His status has been maintained until now because the trial is unwilling to tear his face. It's just that it's the eve of the big war, and everyone has the will to die, and the trial shouldn't be an undercover agent to continue to hide.
As long as this man still has a brain.
"So what is he waiting for?"
Cheng Hai sat cross-legged, and the enchantment in the room automatically isolated the external noise.
The sigil on his hand is a summoning sign, and after receiving a one-time summon, he will enter the White Gate and teleport to a strange planet.
The rumored planet is a site of great wealth, but it could also be a chaotic planet like Aldebaria.
If it is the latter, will the Inquisition gather forces on the other side of the door and wait for him to enter before delivering the final blow?
"Hoo ......"
With a long sigh of relief, Cheng Hai relaxed his brain.
Along these lines, it seems plausible that the trial did not reveal the identity of the inner ghost outside the conference hall.
But the only problem is that White's prosthetic leg is on Xiao Ai's side, and she and Lin Miaozhen are really in first. Did the trial want to take down Lin Miaozhen before he went in?
"It's not that easy, is it?" Cheng Hai said secretly.
Although he hadn't seen Lin Miaozhen make a move, as the bearer of the will of the previous generation of the world, she was still an immortal cultivator, and her combat power should be beyond doubt.
According to the original prediction of the trial, there is a high probability that their encirclement and rescue will fail.
Now because of him, the eight ambassadors have gone to three, and after removing two undercover agents, the old apostles are only four combat power. It is true that their respective subordinates may be like the Blood Moon and other subordinates, and even with the variable of Dustlessness, they are nowhere near their heyday.
So, what is the basis of judgment?
Just meditated for a night, Cheng Hai still didn't guess the hole cards of the trial.
Looking at the faint sky outside the window, he sighed and said to himself: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, don't think so much, I just need to be in charge of the battle." ”
In addition to the god-level god-level descendant from Lorik, the lord of the sand, he also has an S-class god-descending - the vampire Accardo.
Accardo, known as Alucard in English.
Write the name upside down, and that's Dracu, pronounced Dracula.
He is the protagonist of the Royal Anglican Order, the first vampire in history to evolve through natural evolution.
In addition to the unneedy trait that is far beyond ordinary people, he also has a characteristic that is different from other vampires. He can devour the lives of the vanquished, and for every person he devours, he will have a chance to die.
So as long as this divine descent is turned on, as long as the life in his body is not consumed, he can almost be said to be an immortal existence.
And the principle of the generation of the world's will reward is roughly transformed by absorbing the energy of the monsters he killed, so according to this principle, the large number of monsters he killed in the demon camp and Yanan Town before will become his substitute ghosts.
The trial wanted to kill him, but it wasn't that easy.
This trap, he can wade!
Anyway, there are so many people here watching, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Huh? Someone looked at ......"
Recalling what Yayun Lan said when he was leaving, Cheng Hai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I see!"
