The man reluctantly stood up (shēn) and left the stone platform in the center of the pool.

"Medusa, you're too unstable." After the man stepped down from the stone platform, he sat down on a stone chair, raised his hand to signal Medusa to sit down, and said gently, "A calm heart helps us to see our souls clearly, you might as well try to pray to the gods, I have had a lot of epiphanies here lately." ”

Medusa frowned, looking at the man in black as if she were looking at a stranger

"Prometheus, aren't you addicted to pretending to be the master?"

Listen to this speech. Prometheus smiled slightly, "So what (shēn) is true?" Or do you think it's more realistic to play a scholar, a worker, than a bishop? In the end, everything is just a phantom, and what matters is whether we recognize the real reality. ”

Medusa turned her face away in disgust and said impatiently

"I'm here to get down to business with you, and now there's no one else here, so you can take away your tào."

Prometheus smiled faintly and did not speak.

"Don't you think it's a waste of time to do this (tào)?" Medusa continued, "Tonight's ceremony, if according to my conception, can succeed at least three, if not four. And it's too wasteful, and the people who were finally caught are wasted like this. ”

"So, what do you mean?" Prometheus asked

"I mean, there were a lot of conditions that were limited before. Now that the hunters' power in S City has been greatly reduced, it is a great opportunity for us to expand our strength. Don't hold on to this (tào) anymore, and the religious game with those stupid humans who don't have brains can come to an end for a while. In the end, it is the number of the Chosen One that determines our strength. ”

Prometheus reached out and picked up the teacup on the stone table and took a sip of cold tea, seemingly interested in Medusa's words. Cheerfully assuming a gesture of listening, he motioned for her to continue.

"First of all, I need a high-standard laboratory, and the means of ritual transformation are too cumbersome and inefficient. Also, ask the Courier to bring some more equipment, and I'll make a list. Now that the hunters are clearly planning to go to war with us, the number one priority is to increase the number of the Chosen One. ”

"Secondly, let's get up the few lines buried in S City. After so many years of benefiting from us, it's time to give something in return. Rather than waiting for the hunters to turn against each other when they gain power, it is better to drain their value now. ”

Medusa thought for a moment and added

"Finally, give up this stronghold, it's not safe. We retreat to places where the Chinese government's tentacles can't reach, and leaving the mainland, or Southeast Asia, is a good option. As long as the plan succeeds, then the situation is reversed. ”

Prometheus looked at Medusa, noncommittal to her suggestion, and asked lightly

"Finished?"

"That's it."

"Do you know why, after that defeat ten years ago, I insisted on risking discovery and choosing this base?"

Medusa shook her head, "I don't know, and I don't think it's a wise choice. ”

"For this is the closest place to God." Prometheus said with a confused look in his eyes, "Medusa, you believe in your abilities too much. Self-confidence is a good thing, and you do have the capital to be confident. But after going through life and death, I realized that our wisdom is simply not worth mentioning in front of the gods. ”

Medusa secretly said, "If it is the group (ròu), then it is not as simple as being able to see that it has wisdom." ”

"I know what you're thinking." Prometheus seemed to see through Medusa's thoughts, "Do you really think that by escaping from the continent, you can avoid the pursuit of hunters?" ”

"At least, we don't have to face a strong army."

"Do you think it was God's chosen ones who have protected us through the past ten years?" Prometheus ignored Medusa's prison (sāo): "It is the ordinary human beings who you don't pay attention to that that allow us to accumulate power in the dark." ”

"Once the Chosen One is exposed to the hunters' nets, even if they escape to the ends of the earth, it will be difficult to escape from the hunting dogs. And only ordinary humans are our strongest shields. ”

"The reason why the hunters are restrained in their actions is nothing more than to think about what kind of uproar will be caused when all this is revealed to ordinary people. Conversely, if we let our hands and feet go to create the Chosen One, then the hunters will think that it is more important to destroy us than to influence. This result will do us more harm than good. ”

Medusa remembered the instrument that had been abandoned in the ruins of the refinery and did not open her mouth to refute it. Instead, another question was asked

"Even so, I don't understand why I can't avoid the pursuit of hunters after leaving the continent?"

Prometheus seemed to remember something, and said in a low tone

"It's a hunter to the disaster department, but a hunter is not a disaster department. It is true that the control of the disaster department outside the mainland is very weak, but it is the hunters who leave the continent and are the most crazy. ”

"Isn't the hunter to the disaster department?" Medusa didn't know about these secrets, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but look puzzled

"You don't need to know this." Prometheus waved his hand and said, "In short, as long as the plan can be successfully implemented, then from now on, this world will be the paradise of the Chosen One, and we will not have to worry about the threat of hunters." The gods have already arranged everything, don't be anxious about my child. ”

"But today, hunting. . . No, the attack on the Ministry of Disasters has already been demonstrated, and I don't think we can maintain the balance we had before. Medusa was not persuaded by Prometheus, but she knew that she had no chance of convincing the other party. The dominance of the next plan is still in the hands of Prometheus, and although there are ten thousand doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart, he can only temporarily suppress it in his heart.

On the other hand, she asked this more realistic question.

"Really? If the hunters really figured out the details of us, do you think you would still be able to retreat with all the people (shēn)? ”

"But after this conflict, it's different." Medusa had to admit that if it weren't for her advantage, the strange stranger she met in the afternoon was indeed very difficult, and if the other party came prepared, it was really difficult to predict the outcome or defeat.

"Maybe it's different, maybe it won't." Prometheus said calmly, "After today's incident, we have indeed exposed a lot of information to the hunters, but as long as we handle this matter properly, it is not a good thing. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That's why I say, trust in the wisdom of the gods that will show us the true direction." Prometheus signaled that the conversation was over, raised his hand to stop Medusa's inquiry, and said with a smile

"Then you just do your thing, and don't doubt the gods. You can try to calm your impetuous mind on the mirror platform, which will help you gain the power to control yourself. ”

With that, Prometheus walked out of the cave, and the priestess shēn appeared out of thin air, stepping out of the shadow and keeping up with him.

Medusa said to Prometheus' distant (shēn) shadow

"Using the sect as a gimmick, you can't talk about those stubborn hounds at all!"

The low, soft voice of the departing Prometheus floated from afar

"Scholars, insurrectionists, revolutionaries. I (yǔn) may you use whatever name you want, everything is just a means to lead the lost to return, and they will one day understand the greatness of the gods. ”

Watching the shadows of the two disappear around the corner, Medusa's face turned cold, and she knew that the last sentence was for herself

…

Injured Liunian raised his head with great effort, looked at the sturdy man in a wheelchair in front of him, and spoke

"I just woke up today, and too many visits are not suitable for a seriously injured patient like me."

The ghost looked at the man in front of him carefully, and although his hands were removed, his expression still revealed a strong and confident aura. It reminded him of that rainy night, and he was now very disgusted by the tone of the sad year.

He took off the skin (tào) on his right hand, and the hidden green flame jumped out jubilantly, turning into a long condensed whip with a soft "snap" and whipped on the wounded face. Suddenly, a rough and hideous blood mark emerged from the handsome and pale face of the wounded man.

"As soon as I heard that you had woken up, I hurried to see you. Look at you, your complexion is really bad, and now it's much better. The wrath admired the blood marks on Wounded Nian's face and said with concern

"Thank you so much, I feel good..."Before he finished speaking, another whip shadow was sharply drawn, as if a huge cross had been imprinted on his face, interrupting his words abruptly.

"It's better for patients to talk less and rest more." The ghost's face is full of warmth, like an old friend who has been friends for many years.

Not to mention that the wounded year was fixed by the tentacle volley, even if he was not restrained, with his current weak and sick body, he would definitely not be able to escape the whip of the spirit. However, the pain on the face is far less than everywhere in Zhou (shēn), especially the place where the interior is recovering, it is itchy and painful like a ten thousand ants phagophagoly, and the spirit also skillfully controls the strength, the humiliating meaning of these two whips is obviously stronger.

"That's really bothering you, I thought you were more injured than me, after all, you know, I'm not light or heavy." What kind of person is the injured year, naturally he will not be deterred by these two blows, and he still laughs at the enemy in front of him unhurriedly.

The wraith looked at the wounded years and smiled suddenly

"Are you really an Inhuman? You won't forget that you're just a monster that everyone spits on, do you? Don't you think it's ridiculous to be a hero here at this point? ”

"Oh? After Huairou used up the means, he turned to the agitation method? "Wounded Streamer looked down at the spirit," it seems that even if I lose two hands, I am very valuable in your eyes. ”

"Value? You are indeed valuable. But the way you think about it may be different. Wraith smiled and said, "Tell me, Spear of Light, Shield of Heroes." I'm a little interested in how you can manifest this level of weirdness. ”

The wraith glanced at the huge (ròu) colored tentacles that covered the waist of the wounded year, and said, "In the divine body, the recovery speed is several times faster, I guess you must be extremely unbearable (shēn) at this moment, right?" As long as you answer my questions honestly, I can control your body so that you don't feel these pains and sleep comfortably. ”

"I don't mind saying it, but I'm afraid you won't believe it." Hurt Liunian looked at the ghost, and the other party's eyes showed undisguised hatred.

"If you're lying, I can also adjust your body to stimulate your cerebral cortex, so that you can't be in pain but still have to stay awake." The wraith said to himself

"That's what you're for, right?" Hurt Liunian instantly saw through the trick of the spirit, and pointed out the other party's mind sharply, "No matter what I say, you will say that I am lying, right?" ”

The wrath nodded in admiration for the wounded year, but said on his lips

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, which disappointed me. In that case, I think it's necessary for you to suffer a little. But before that, let's do a little experiment. ”

Wound Liunian knew very well that he was just a chopping board fish (ròu) at the moment, but he didn't intend to give in and beg for mercy, and he looked at what tricks the spirit could play with a sneer in the corner of his eyes.

The green flames that had gathered in the place where the wraith's right arm had been located, and the broken right arm of the self-injured Flowing Years was now swarming with great light. At this moment, he finally felt the strange green flame of the underworld, and he felt a wonderful feeling in the sad year. It was a surging flame, but it was as pervasive as the sea, exuding a cool chill.

The wraith, with its eyes closed close, below controls the green flame, as if looking for something in the broken (shēn) body. He also felt that the green flame covering (shēn) was gradually pressing and heavy.

Suddenly, the wraiths below curled up the corners of their mouths and revealed a mysterious smile...
