Chapter 854: Inquiry
Almost discovered...
On the 10th floor of the Lost World, Hohenheim donned an invisibility cloak and hid beneath a protruding twisted piece of metal wreckage, allowing the demons above him to fly.
His cloak of invisibility is so effective that any light that shines on it can only see behind him, and it is also sound and dustproof.
Plus he hides his aura well,
All the demons who passed by didn't notice that there was an Earth human hiding around them.
Finally gone.
As the flying backs of a dozen demons grew farther and farther away, Hohenheim took out an LCD panel from his backpack and retracted it back into the inventory with just one glance, preventing the electronic signal from persisting for a long time and attracting the demon's attention.
The people of the bell tower have also been kidnapped, and some of them are still exuding location information.
Considering the previous sights of demons killing or kidnapping players, these positioning information that automatically diverges in layers 10 and 11 are likely to be a trap.
The purpose is to trick other players into trying to rescue their companions.
β...β
Hohenheim leaned out of the metal wreckage, and the punk-style metal telescope on his eye socket automatically extended, focused, and saw the scene in the distance.
It was a fairly wide clearing, and at the edge of the clearing, at six o'clock, a male lion with a red mane and a four-legged golden ring lay on the ground.
The lion's head alone is one person tall.
The lion's red mane is windless and automatic, and his body exudes a wild and powerful aura.
There were some subordinates who were weaker than it gathered around, and they were saying something in an exotic language.
The basic [fluent language] skill does not allow Hohenheim to directly read his lips and understand what the other party is saying.
However, in the hole in the dome above the clearing, there have always been demons, and players who are tied with special ropes have landed all the time.
After a few words of conversation with the Lion King, he placed the Earth players that Hohenheim knew near the center of the clearing.
β...β
Hohenheim's eyes narrowed subconsciously, and the same golden rope as the one used by the other party appeared out of thin air on his hand.
A rope captured from the enemy, called the Rope of Heaven,
Like the [Private Engraving Divine Contract], they are all consumables of perfect quality, and the special effect is to absorb the energy of transcendent creatures and strengthen the rope itself.
At the same time, the body and will of the transcendent are constantly weakened, and this effect is gradually strengthened over time.
In the end, the transcendent creature bound by the rope of heaven was completely transformed into a living dead who could not move, could not think, and could not speak.
(After the rope is lifted, it will slowly return to normal)
In its remarks, [Binding the Sky Rope] and [Private Engraving Aid Deed] are both creations of the so-called "Liwei Mountain".
But the difference is that there is an extra line in the remarks of the former.
Each rope is mixed with the tendons of ten or even twenty mortal children with innate spiritual roots...
Hohenheim didn't know the details of the players in the other world, and using human tendons as ropes sounded completely demonic, but he didn't expect it to be from Liwei Mountain, who seemed to be famous and decent.
He continued to look ahead,
There were as many as forty-three Earth players who were tied up by the rope and thrown to the ground, all of them with their heads bowed, their eyes closed, their expressions numb and empty, obviously losing their sense of self and unable to make the decision to surrender and retire from the game.
On the periphery of them are demons, and on the inside are six bronze bell shadows that occupy a large space.
The projection of each bronze bell has an effect similar to that of a "static stance", and the warm light it emits seals a player from Earth.
They are Michael, Jongli of the Secret Service, Celsus of the Clock Tower, Uriel of the Inquisition, Dir?, and Requiem, the vice president of the Demon Scientists Alliance Guild.
They each occupy the first, seventh, ninth, eleventh, fourteenth, and twenty-second positions in the personal power rankings.
Obviously, the transcendents who were sealed by the aliens with the static stasis force field are all the top players in the first echelon of the earth.
It is very likely that the other party feels that it is impossible to safely restrain these people by relying only on the rope that binds the sky.
A stasis force field must be used to prevent it from escaping - and to protect the Outlanders themselves.
The top 10 in the personal ranking is one game, while the eleventh to the fiftieth is another game.
However, this does not mean that the ranking is everything.
The difference in strength between the first echelon is not so big,
And in the eleventh to thirty regions, there are many players who hide considerable real strength - such as Taihao in the fifteenth place, and Requiem in the twenty-second place.
Thinking of the Demon Scientist Alliance, Hohenheim turned his head and glanced at the side, which was empty, but according to his agreement with the Truth Side, the other party should have infiltrated the nearby area.
Get ready to check out these exotics.
On the inside of the bronze bell shadow is a group of monks dressed in ancient oriental costumesβ
The power fluctuations in four of them are not even inferior to those of Hohenheim itself.
β...β
Hohenheim only swept there out of the corner of his eye, not fixing his eyes on a monk, for fear that his gaze would make the other person feel wrong.
The four strongest monks seemed to be discussing something with a group of rickety figures in gray cloaks,
They took out a stack of comics and handed them to the rickety figure,
The latter raised his arm and took the comic,
With Hohenheim's eyes, he could clearly see the back of the gray-robed man's hand, covered with fine cyan scales and covered with transparent slime, under the cuffs of the man's cloak.
And those comics, called "When the Stars Return to Their Places", 1-12.
