Volume 5, The Three Realms of Stars and Moon_Chapter 147, Seeds (2)
Revenge unfolds in front of a desperate old lady who has been a soldier. The landlady did not say exactly how she would retaliate, but it was clear that she had caused great trouble for the cult of Resurrection Day. Because she succeeded in stealing the most important relic of the entire Day of Resurrection, which is what is known as the "seed".
I don't have much concept of these so-called holy relics abroad, and I generally feel that they are similar to the magic artifacts used by the ancient gods. It has mysterious powers beyond the imagination of ordinary people. But according to the landlady, the "seed" is the foundation of the resurrection day, the treasure given by the demon to the resurrection day leader, and all those severed limbs and regeneration, or terminal illness recovery, are actually because of the "seed". For several years after that, until today, the old lady is incognito.
I guess Xiao Wei didn't expect that there was such a mystery when he contacted this family at the beginning, it felt like there was a certain number in the dark, and there was something strange in the universe.
It just so happened that I had now begun to investigate the Day of Resurrection, and it was very likely that this so-called holy relic would have a great effect on my help, so I said unceremoniously and directly: "Old lady, I would like to see your so-called holy relic 'seed'. ”
As soon as the old lady heard this, she immediately stared at me, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff. She took a sip of the beer on the table and said, "Why am I showing it to you?" Why should I believe you? ”
I smiled and said, "I'm working for the two agents, the Resurrection Day has endangered the lives of the citizens, but we can't find where the leader of the Resurrection Day is now, and all the informants are probably killed." We don't know much about the Day of Resurrection, and to be honest, we need more than just your holy relics, but also your help. You can choose to protect yourself, but if you don't want more miserable families like you and your husband, please do me a favor. ”
rose to the height of the people's righteousness, and the old lady's face changed. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Call the two agents you mentioned, and I'll show you the holy relics after I'm sure you're not spies on the resurrection day." ”
The old lady was relieved, and I immediately called Xiao Wei to inform her. After about ten minutes, the two agents and Xiao Wei arrived. The old lady finally relented after carefully checking the documents of the two men and making sure that we were not bad people.
"I've locked the 'seed' in the basement, you come in with me, but don't get too close......" The old lady led us to the door of the basement, pushed open the door with a broken lock, and the basement without the light was dark, and suddenly, there was a dark light in the darkness. The two agents behind me were taken aback and subconsciously pressed their hands to the pistol at their waists.
"Don't be nervous, this is the light from the 'seed', come in with me and try not to make too much noise." The old lady motioned for us to go into the basement. This was the first time I'd come in after living in a while, and the basement was brighter and more spacious than I expected, and it was clean, especially the area in the middle of the basement. In the middle of the space was empty, and there was a table on which the contents were covered by a black cloth, but even so, a glitter of green could be seen shining through the gaps in the black cloth.
"That's the seed, it's fragile, it can't be exposed to strong light, it's not blown by strong winds, and even if the decibels are too high, it can damage it. Stand where you are, and do not come near. After saying that, the old lady walked over slowly, and it could be seen that she was still very cautious when facing the "seed", even though she had stolen the treasure for several years.
The black cloth slowly lifted up, and the green glow that had been blocked by the black cloth became brighter and brighter, reflecting our eyes. I don't know how other people feel, but when I see the seeds in the glass bottle, it's like seeing the essence of life. It's an amazing feeling, and I still don't know how to describe it. If the current earth is described as a man who has entered middle age, then the seed in front of him is like a fetus that has not left the mother's body but has come to the world. It can have countless possibilities, it can be shaped into anything, and it contains an abundance of energy for new life.
It was as if I saw the children of the earth, the seeds that truly inherited the life of this planet.
I've seen a lot of powerful magic weapons, and a psychic magic weapon like the Seven Killing Ghost Knife wouldn't surprise me so much, but this "seed" in front of me is too different. The ordinary looking seed that landed on a little dirt in a bottle gave me a huge shock. My mind was uncontrollable and repeated the same thoughts.
"Eternal life!" However, it was not me who said this thought, but Xiao Wei who was standing behind me. Immediately following Xiao Wei, he pushed away the two agents in front of him as if he was uncontrollable, and walked towards the bottle in front of him as if he was crazy. His eyes looked directly at the "seed" in the bottle, as if he had lost his mind, and his face turned blue as if no one was around.
"Xiao Wei!" I grabbed his arm, but Xiao Wei didn't wake up in the slightest, and even mechanically tried to shake off my hand, and not only him, but also the two agents next to him, Kenna and Susanna, had similar problems. It's as if they've become crazy zombies, and they've lost their minds.
"How so? What's going on with you guys? Hey, hey! I blocked three people and shouted.
"Pull them out, they won't wake up no matter how many times you shout here." The old landlady seemed to be accustomed to this situation and said calmly, while putting the black cloth back on the bottle. I dragged the three men out of the basement, and when they left the basement, they came to their senses after a few minutes.
"Huh? How did we get out? My head...... It hurts......" Kenna muttered uncomfortably as he covered his head, and Wei and Susanna, who were next to him, were not much better.
At this time, the landlady came after closing the door of the basement again, and said calmly, "You are not strong enough, so you have been seduced. This is often the case on the Day of Resurrection, where the Sect Master once wore this seed on his body, and all those who were bewitched would lose their minds, and then they could be controlled by some means. So in the videotape you see thousands of empty alleys, and those people are going crazy and falling at his feet, not the actors, but they are. ”
"Then why am I okay?" I asked curiously.
"As I said, this kind of demagogy is only useful for those who are not strong-willed. Professionally trained, or particularly strong-willed, people are immune. I've been bewitched too, but I've gotten used to it in the past two years. As you see, this is the Seed, which is the Holy Relic of the Day of Resurrection. The existence of this holy relic can be said to be the source of all the magical powers of our sect master. It's a pity that now that this holy relic is in my hands, of course he will keep sending people to trouble me. ”
"You...... Can you elaborate on the Day of Resurrection? Susanna's head was still uncomfortable, and she wrinkled her face as she spoke, her eyebrows twisted together.
"Sit down, I'll make you a pot of coffee."
After the three of them drank the steaming coffee and felt more comfortable, the old lady sat down and lit a cigarette before saying, "The leader of the Easter Day is called Yot, and he is a white child who grew up in a black neighborhood. I can't tell the age, because when I first met him, he looked like he was only thirty years old, but I had seen his picture ten years ago, and it was exactly the same as it is now. And I've heard a rumor that he's actually eighty years old now, but he's young. ”
"I've seen similar surveys, and he was born 80 years ago, but I don't know how he was so young."
"The upper echelons of the Day of Resurrection are controlled by a group that calls itself the Forest, and Yot is the supreme ruler of this group. Before I fled, there were fifty members of the forest. I haven't seen all of these fifty members, but it is said that they are all powerful, rich and powerful. They control some of the lifeblood of the country, that is, in disguise, increase the influence of the Day of Resurrection in the country. ”
