Chapter 116: Evacuation
The pyramid-shaped structure stands abruptly over the wetlands in the middle of the arena, and it is out of step with its surroundings, like a ship parked in the desert.
This is the structure that was exposed to the ground in the earthquake just nowβan ancient temple in the Aztec style.
The grey mottled outer walls are covered with dead moss, revealing its age. The body of the tower is craggy, like a ladder.
"This ...... What is this?" Sanji was surprised.
President Pissarro also looked at the Pope, and the deep secrets of Jerusalem were held only by the New God Church, and even the president of the Nianshi Guild did not know. The temple apparently involved the core secrets of Jerusalem that the Protestant Church was reluctant to make public.
The Pope's face was gloomy.
"It's ...... Remembering the dwelling place of God, it has sunk into the earth for thousands of years, and with it is the countless heroic spirits who have guarded Jerusalem for thousands of years. And they dare to do so, so rashly intrude, disturbing the purity of the dead will invite endless bad luck, and the wrath of the gods will descend on the whole of Jerusalem......"
He looked at the temple with hatred, his gaze seemed to penetrate the stone wall, and he saw three of them: "Don't let me catch you, Dark Neying! I promise I won't make you feel good......"
In the audience, the audience did not know anything about the origin of the temple, and they nodded their heads one after another, praising the handling of the central control room with great skill.
"The game is just going into a scorching period, and it's good to suddenly have a temple rise and adjust the pace. β
"I didn't expect the central control room to do so much, I thought they could only control the weather?"
"Since the appointment of a new director in the central control room, the overall coordination of Jerusalem has become more fluid, and the new director is very capable, presumably this is something new for him. β
"But then we can't see Qilu idols, how are they?"
In the central control room, everyone gathered around the central fruit, looking at the viewing ball in amazement, and the huge temple that suddenly appeared in the center of the arena stunned them.
"What is this? Have you seen it?" asked Steve.
"I thought it was something you added!"
"You know my taste. Director Chai scratched his head, "No wonder they want to invade the arena, this is their purpose! This is a secret that the New God Cult has been deliberately concealing! Even our central control room does not know about its existence, it has been hidden in the deep data of the arena." β
"What now?"
"Regardless of these things for now, our priority is to rescue the people in the stadium, how about the evacuation of the audience?"
"The unrelated personnel have been withdrawn, only the people in the box are still there. β
"Well, it's okay for them ......"
"I can't communicate with the venue now, and the three children in the stadium don't know how long they can hold on......"
"As for this, it's up to me. β
Director Chai rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do a great job. But suddenly remembered that this special dress can't be done without sleeves, so he put down the sleeves again.
"Hey, Snowmark, you're healed?" said Qilu's voice behind him.
Snow Mark was leaning against the corner of the wall to practice the "hardness" that Qilu had taught him. When he turned his head, he saw that Qi Lu had walked into the corridor where he was out of nowhere, and was walking towards him.
"Hmm," Snow Scar replied, stood up, patted the dust, and walked over to Qilu.
"Your eyes are healed too?"
"Well, it's completely healed, it's amazing here. β
Qilu was in high spirits, and he felt as if he was very happy to be here.
Snow Marks' mood was very low:
Are you so happy because your plan has succeeded and opened this temple?
Curry's words to him echoed in his ears: Qilu was the inner echo of darkness in the arena, and it was he who opened the abode of the gods and put them in danger.
He had deeply doubted this judgment, suspecting that it was just Curry's ruse.
How he wished it was Curry's trick.
However, he connected the previous events and found more doubts: why did Natalie only ask for help from herself, instead of the stronger Qilu? It was because Qilu was suspicious, and Natalie couldn't trust him.
Neither the iron rod that Curry had stuck in the ground nor the magic circle painted on the ground worked, so if the temple did not appear naturally, it could only be done by Qilu.
The thought that Qilu might be the same existence as the Black Shadow, or even with the guys who killed the sister next door, Snow Scar felt nameless and angry.
In front of his eyes, Qilu seemed to split into countless small black balls of light.
And Qilu didn't notice anything unusual about the snow marks at all.
"I found it special here, and we were cut off from the outside world, and they couldn't see or hear what we were saying and doing, and I just tried to ask Natalie, and even Natalie didn't respond. I think we're out of control by now. That's the magic here. β
In fact, the invasion was the cause of Natalie's loss of contact, but the Nenshen Abode itself was indeed a unique space that could shield them from the outside world.
"This is truly a special place. β
It's a great place for betrayal and murder.
"It's just a little hot. Qilu complained.
The corridor is deep and rugged.
Qilu walked ahead, his figure thin but active, his back unguarded, if Snow Mark gave him a knife at this time, he would probably kill him with a single blow.
But Xue Zhen hesitated in his heart: how could he do this? Qilu was extremely suspicious, but his internal identity was not ironclad.
But as Curry said, if Kiro was really the inner and knew he was already suspicious of him, he would probably strike first. At that time, maybe you really don't have a chance......
The cycle of the Chain of Doubt begins to show its power.
"What's wrong with you?" Qilu noticed that Snow Scar was a little depressed, "Did you lose too much blood just now?"
Nothing, just the hesitation before killing you.
"Oh...... Nothing, I just ...... Kind of misses my mom. β
Qilu was a little surprised, Xuezhen was strong and brave, he didn't expect that he would miss his mother too, but after thinking about it, he understood that Xuezhen was worried about his mother's safety.
"It's going to be fine, in Jerusalem, time is only half the time it is, so you don't have to worry too much. β
"yes, yes? I don't even know about it!"
"Apparently you didn't listen carefully when you came in. β
"Well, that's true. β
How am I going to know where you stand? Do I really have to wait until you attack first?
"Tell me about your mother. Does your mom have a club or something......
"What kind of club is there...... My mom is just a normal person, but ......."
"But what?"
"But...... She's brave, she's braver than the average person. β
"Brave?" Qilu began to make up his mind again, a brave housewife, armed with two knives...... Does it really have nothing to do with the community? I always feel that something is missing.
Xue Zhen saw that he was making up for it in his brain and smiled bitterly.
Since you want to know, I'll tell you a true story.
"When I was a child, there was a snow disaster one winter, the winter of the snow country was originally a biological disaster, and that year was a disaster that was not encountered in a century, low temperature and continuous snowstorms made it impossible for people in the village to leave the house, when the snow disaster lasted for more than a month, there was a knock on the door of my house, I thought it was a villager, but my mother opened the door and saw that it was a white bear. It turned out that due to the severe snowstorm, the village was no longer guarded, and even wild animals came to forage for food.
"Adult bears can walk upright, they are also very intelligent, they have a lot of similarities with people, and I used to play with them at that time, they were my childhood companions. Maybe that's why they came to the door. But we all know that they are beasts after all, they are carnivorous bears, they are usually docile and kind, but when they are hungry they are more brutal and vicious than brown bears, and now it is obviously the time of hunger. We thought it was coming, but instead of attacking me and my mother, the white bear stretched out its paws like a human reaching out, and guess what it was doing?"
"What?"
"It's begging for food from our family. β
"So smart!"
"Yes, that's when I noticed that the white bear had become too thin from hunger to become a bear, and it looked more like a human being. And on his hind legs, there was a bear cub clinging to its legs, already dying of hunger. They ventured into human settlements, apparently because they were desperate.
"We two bears are facing each other in front of the door, and we are afraid that they will suddenly pounce on us and eat us as food, and they are afraid that we will eat them as foodβyou know, we are also hunters.
"But at that time, we didn't have the strength to fight each other. Now we are faced with a big question: should we give them food?
"If the white bear eats the food and has strength, will it expose its vicious nature and kill us as a reserve of food?
"This ...... That's a problem. Qilu imagined the situation at that time, and it was indeed a dilemma. "And then? Hmm...... I know, your mother must have cut down the bear with two knives, and if the bear had eaten you, you wouldn't have stood here telling me this story. β
Snowmark smiled.
But it gradually became clear in my heart.
yes, I forgot all about it, I forgot what my mother did in the first place.
"My mom ended up giving them food, and they didn't attack us, they just left. The bear is still learning to be like a human and bows to us. β
"Hmm...... Your mom...... It's amazing. Qilu thought about it, and it did seem that this was more courageous than fighting a bear with two knives.
"Haha, yes, I think too. β
"But it's also dangerous, aren't you afraid that they will turn their backs and deny the bear...... Or people?"
"That's what I asked, but my mom said ......"
The snow scar stopped and looked into Qilu's eyes:
"Trust your friends, even if they can easily hurt you. β
Qilu repeated it in his heart, like tasting a new cup of tea, and nodded.
