Chapter Ninety-Six: The Twenty-First Rite
It's not about the gods...... Well, it is estimated that only ghosts can believe this, no, it should be said that even ghosts can't believe it.
Whether it's Chu Xuan, Salgas, or even Allen and Salgas's teammates know it. They all know it in their hearts, obviously everyone is talking nonsense, using lies and threats to tempt, but no one dares to act rashly.
For Chu Xuan, it was indeed a troublesome thing for Alaisa to fall into the hands of the enemy. If you can, the best result is naturally to be able to safely control Aretha's body in your hands. But if it really doesn't work, killing Araissa's body is not an unacceptable option...... Although it is said that the S-level side plot and 50,000 reward points will be deducted once, the side plot and reward points are not very important things for Chu Xuan, and there is an opportunity to brush up on the points.
It's just that the choice of killing Alesa can only be the last resort, because Chu Xuan is not sure that the key to the evil god's escape is whether it is in Alesha's life, if you can get out of the predicament by killing the evil god of Alesa, it will be troublesome. Although this probability is a bit small, it cannot be ignored.
However, if you continue to drag it out...... It wasn't a choice, at least Chu Xuan realized that the other party definitely didn't want to simply release the evil god, but had another purpose.
If it was simply to release the evil gods, then they should have been able to do so a long time ago. But they seem to have even used the continental shelf oscillator, uh, this point actually has to be a question mark, whether the other party used the continental shelf oscillator is not clear, but it is an indisputable fact that the entire extradimensional space that sealed the evil god was affected by the earthquake.
In short, in this case, the most important thing they should do is to wait patiently, delay time, and wait for the evil god to come out of trouble...... But the problem is, if the evil god really got out of trouble, would he be so kind to let the other party go and deal with Chu Xuan and them specifically? Where do they get this self-confidence? In many stories, the people who finally released the evil gods were not allowed to die. At the very least, the evil god of Silent Hill is not a good bird, and you can understand it by looking at Alesha's behavior.
In addition to the fanatics who have been brainwashed by the evil god, it may be that only a madman would try to release an evil god who has been sealed for an unknown number of years. This kind of fanatical believer may really exist, but it is absolutely impossible to be a member of the reincarnation squad, any reincarnation squad member, except for newcomers, there will never be such a person who can survive until now, especially the reincarnation squad in front of him is a master team whose strength is above the fourth order of the gene lock.
Putting aside the fanatical believers, there is only one possibility that these reincarnation teams can willingly enter this extradimensional space and enter the ghost place where the evil gods are sealed...... The benefits, the huge benefits, far outweigh the risks, at least the benefits that are equal to the risks.
As the saying goes, as long as there is 100% profit, people can take risks, and 300% profit can make anyone trample on all the laws in the world. This sentence describing capitalists is actually common to most people, especially the reincarnation squad that walks on the edge of life and death all year round, they are more crazy gamblers than any kind of gambler in the world, and they only gamble on their own lives.
The reincarnation team is all life-saving, and people who don't spare their lives generally don't live long in the reincarnation world, and if these reincarnation team members who cherish their lives can risk life and death to enter it, there must be huge interests comparable to their lives, which Chu Xuan dares to pack.
Since this is the case, then Chu Xuan decided to continue to delay time, and even ...... Drag it out until the evil god is resurrected and freed! He didn't believe it, after the evil god really woke up, the Dawning Team would be able to continue to brag with them, and at that time, in order to survive, even if he was not very willing, he would have to cooperate with Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan, who had made up his mind, unconsciously slowed down his tone when he spoke, and what made the Dawning Team feel even more hateful was that he had to hand over Alaisa to him with one bite, otherwise everything would not be discussed...... This gave the Dawning team the urge to simply hack them to death before doing the next thing.
It's just that this impulse didn't break out after all, although Salgas couldn't see any expression on his face, he continued to bargain with Chu Xuan, but he already hated Chu Xuan to the extreme in his heart, if he had the ability to draw a circle and curse you, Chu Xuan estimated that he would have died of seven tricks of blood at this time.
Although Chu Xuan couldn't guess the true purpose of the Dawning Team, he really guessed in the general direction, and his hand really grasped the lifeblood of the Dawning Team...... Compared to Chu Xuan and them, the Dawning Team really can't afford it!
The mission of the Dawning Team is not to release the evil gods...... It's not that they don't dare, but it's unnecessary, not to mention that the evil god is not related to them, and if they really want to release it, I'm afraid that the first unlucky one is the Dawning Team itself.
As a qualified reincarnation squad, their main purpose is to hunt down those targets on the main quest and complete the main quest. Silent Hill, these are all secondary.
However, after they met Alesa before, Yoyo's heart demon was released by Alesha, which made them very busy for a while, and Salgas had to show his strength to deal with it carefully, and in the end, although Yoyo failed to survive the heart demon, but the heart demon was successfully suppressed, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, Yoyo has a feeling after this catastrophe, or it won't be long before she can successfully break through the heart demon.
And what made them even more fortunate was that in order to find a way to break through the demons, Salgas rediscovered the plot items they had obtained in Silent Hill...... Although these props were obtained by the previous captain of the Dawning team, they were all left in the hands of the Dawning team in the end.
Then, while flipping through the notebook left by Bishop Chrisbella, they trigger a side story......
"Silent Hill's final side story: The unfinished sacrifice is activated, use the holy seal to find Alesha's body, and follow the prompts in the notebook to complete the twenty-one rituals, and you can obtain the power of the evil god."
There are no rewards or penalties for this side story, but the rewards and penalties are already in the quest hints...... If they succeed in completing the Twenty-One Rituals, they will gain the power of the evil gods, and if they fail, they will ...... Hehe, as an evil god, what would he do if he found out that someone wanted to steal his power? Thinking about it, I also know that the Dawning Team will face the attack of the evil god at that time, and I am afraid that it will still be the kind of hatred that will not die.
The difficulty of this mission is probably heavenly, but as they once speculated, the final side plot of the Silent Hill world must be related to the evil god hidden in Silent Hill, either slaughtering the god or releasing it...... And the twenty-first sacrifice is actually not much different from the God Butcher, after all, after getting the power of the evil god, what use is the evil god?
Among them, the most suitable to use the Twenty-One Rites is naturally Salgas, who has ancient demon genes and has been concentrating on strengthening the mutated bloodline of demons a long time ago, if he obtains the power of the evil god, it will be like a tiger with wings, not only in terms of attributes, but his strength is also the strongest in the Dawning team. Instead of scattering the forces, it is better to gather the forces together to create the strongest one, and the Dawning Team is naturally clear.
It just so happened that they just felt that if they wanted to hunt and kill these people on the bounty list given by the main god, they vaguely felt that their strength was insufficient, and if they could really obtain the power of the evil god of Silent Hill, then their purpose of hunting Zheng Zha and hunting Feng Jie in the future would also be much smoother.
However, the Twenty-One Rite is not a casual stab to death of Alaissa, it is a complete witchcraft sacrifice ritual, and Araisa must be burned to death, and there are many steps to complete before Aresha can be burned.
Even if the Dawning team was to skept everything unnecessary and throw Alyssa to the stake as fast as possible, it would take at least ten minutes to burn her to death.
And this ten minutes or so of time...... They had to face interference from the evil gods, as well as the attack of Chu Xuan's local reincarnation team.
If you can barely deal with one of them, with the strength of the Dawning team, you can barely do it, but if you are both together...... If you still want to succeed, then you can only say that you are daydreaming.
The evil god is not a cabbage, Chu Xuan and they are not ants that can be pinched to death at will, Dawn is useless even if it is a fourth-order member, they don't need to kill the Dawning team, just interrupt the sacrifice ceremony is enough, which makes the Dawning team fall into the most tangled situation...... What did Temeow have to do to be able to complete the twenty-first sacrifice under the nose of the evil god and under the harassment of Chu Xuan?
Leave the other-dimensional space where the evil gods are sealed first? Don't make a fuss, the moment they came into contact with Aleisa, they had already received a reminder from the main god, as soon as Aleisha left here, the evil god would wake up immediately, and even if they continued to hide in this alternate dimensional space with Alesha, the evil god was gradually waking up. The time of this awakening is unknown, there may be another hour, or it is possible that the evil god will wake up in the next second.
So, with every minute that passes, the pressure on the Dawning team increases...... Time is not on their side. If the evil god really woke up completely, then unless they wanted to die with Chu Xuan and the three of them, they would have to join forces to fight the evil god, which was an inevitable choice, and it would also be Chu Xuan's victory.
