Chapter 295: Prepare for the battle

This conversation came to an end.

Although he didn't know that Zhou Lu had exploded into a small universe and turned into the hope of all mankind, Zhou Lu's killing of the 'Plague Star' with one blow spread in the base. Compared to the long-forgotten 'Cursed Dragon', the Necromancer has always been the sworn enemy of the Church, and the name of the 'Plague Star' is not comparable to ordinary monsters in the Church. What's more, this pair had hurt the lives of many members of the executive department not long ago, and now it has been confirmed that Zhou Lu's reputation for destroying strong enemies has still attracted the attention of many people; Especially among the church forces, several high-level leaders of the church came to visit Zhou Lu that day.

However, as the person concerned, Zhou Lu himself was not very happy.

It's not that he has any opinions about other people's attention to him, but the training after the battle made Zhou Lu extremely unhappy. After the last conversation, Zhou Heng put forward a request for Zhou Lu to participate in special training. This kind of thing is training, and Zhou Lu is also doing it on weekdays; My brother has no actual combat experience, and he can only toss around in training, so Zhou Lu is with Qin Yue and Herery. However, this time I made such a discovery by playing crookedly, and it may no longer be appropriate to train according to normal methods. After that, the training plan was also prescribed in the institute.

However, it turns out that it is unrealistic to have too high expectations for your brother.

It is said that it is training, but in fact, most of the time it is cooperating with research. Repeating an action dozens or hundreds of times, performing various operations in the face of the same sample, and participating in some messy study and physical examination every day. What was learned in the training was not for nothing, with the help of the Institute. Zhou Lu's ability has also made some progress in other aspects.

The first is magic. Divine art and magical girl abilities. Both are otherworldly superpowers that are closely related to the will of the race. Although there are some essential differences between them. But using faith as a medium, Zhou Lu can use his magic to use a lot of magic that belongs to another rule system. This kind of behavior seems redundant - after all, to use superpowers under another system of rules, you only need to have the abilities under another world system; After all, people from other worlds can also use magic costume props, so it is not uncommon to have the ability of two world systems at the same time, but Zhou Lu's mastery is different.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, such a process of elimination will exist in every world. Humans in a world with strict rules will have more sophisticated skills, while in a world with less stringent rules, humans will have more research on how to get more energy supplies. Because of the difference in rules. Abilities in each world system will have different characteristics; In the world of "Wind Country", the superiority of humans in terms of superpowers is not particularly obvious. Unlike Warcraft, the highest level of human beings is only sixty.

Although this is the statement in the game, in reality, human beings do have the limit of their magical power. After the Guò Brave Trial and the Professional Trial, the possibility of further progress has basically been lost. But even so, the gap between the otherworldly humans is also zài.

Not to mention that those magical beasts whose magic power base far exceeds that of human beings and whose reproductive and reproductive abilities are many times stronger than human beings are also suppressed by human beings and cannot raise their heads, that is, in human society, the strength gap between the top powerhouses also exists. At the beginning, Lin Feng was cursed in his body, but he was able to maneuver in the siege of a group of church knights; Among those knights, there are also some top masters who have mastered the trial of the brave. But compared to Lin Feng, they were much worse. And Lin Feng's strength. It's not even the top on that continent. At the same level of magic power, some top powerhouses can exert several times or even dozens of times the combat power of ordinary people.

In contrast, the setting in "Magical Girl Little Dark" is more ordinary.

The magic costumes themselves were just scrap metal that had come out of nowhere, and after being modified by the scientists of the earth, they were given to some elementary school girls and then asked to save the world. The abilities of these magic costumes themselves are fixed, and there is no room for improvement or research, although it is still impossible to fight uncontrollably because of some restrictions, but compared to the energy rules of "Wind Country", it is obviously much more relaxed. Even when they encounter an invincible enemy, as users, they do not think about how to improve their combat skills, but how to use stronger skills with love and heart.

This is the meaning of Zhou Lu's integration of the two rules. If you use more powerful power to use better techniques, you will be more powerful than any one rule alone. The 'Plague Star' is very powerful, whether it is the power of a magical girl or the top class in "The Land of Wind", it is difficult to compete with it alone; But when the two rules of power merge together, it is a single blow that takes a heavy toll on it.

And this has become the key to the research of the institute, and in the past few days, although most of the time has been engaged in some so-called research, Zhou Lu has mastered more and more divine arts. The knowledge of divine arts can be obtained directly through guò projection technology, and there are not many things that Zhou Lu needs to do. These newly mastered divine arts, without exception, have all improved dramatically - small divine techniques such as healing techniques have not changed much, and advanced high-level divine techniques are different.

The Light of Judgment can wreak havoc on the Plague Star with a single blow, and ultimate skills such as the Doomsday Judgment are even more rebellious for their extreme destructive abilities. After spending an afternoon of using it, the dazzling arc light almost changed the color of the heavens and the earth. It was a loss that this time the site was moved by Zhou Heng to the Indian Ocean, otherwise, probably the entire base would have been affected by this attack and destroyed.

Secondly, there are some other aspects of ability. Now that it has been proved that the abilities of the same root can be compatible, Zhou Heng began to look for some other kinds of abilities. Whether it is magic Taoism, science fiction and supernatural spirits, as long as the superpowers related to racial consciousness, all of them are used by Zhou Lu. But I don't know what the reason is, Zhou Lu can't use these skills.

And this time, the success of the real yàn is nothing more. Zhou Heng found some other people to do the real thing—most of them were little girls. Some come from the earth. Some are from the church; Zhou Heng handed them the magic costume props. Let them fight in the way of magical girls. However, with the exception of Zhou Lu, none of these people were able to produce similar changes; Even if Zhou Lu's necklace is handed over to someone else, it is impossible for the user to have the ability to control beliefs like Zhou Lu.

For such a situation, Zhou Heng can only explain that after the magic costume props and ordinary people obtain a certain connection with Cheng dù, this kind of Cheng dù enhancement can be produced. In this world, even if the will of the race itself does not provide energy support for the costumes, the Institute's energy hub will provide enough energy for the costumes, and this convenient cycle of false energy makes the use of these items much easier. It also deprives the user of the possibility of interacting with the ability itself.

In a short period of time, there was no clue how to obtain the recognition of the will of the race like Zhou Lu, so Zhou Heng organized a team of magical girls - in addition to Zhou Lu's magic necklace, several other magic costume props were sent to several other magical girls, and then let them team up to join the battle. Although there is no hope yet, the only way to let them try to see if they can make any progress in actual combat is at this stage.

On Zhou Lu's side, the situation is a little different. Because of this change, Zhou Lu directly became the top master in the base.

Although the actual combat experience is still lacking, even if the accumulated magic power can only be used once or twice at most, although a large number of church priests are needed to help chant behind him in each battle to provide Zhou Lu with 'faith', but in battle. Zhou Lu's combat power that can burst out in an instant is still incomparable to others. This skill combines the advantages of both rules, and can use the least amount of energy to achieve the highest destructive effect.

Now Zhou Heng has a lot of fantasy abilities. There are some incredibly powerful superpowers; is like Zhong Youxin that Zhou Lu saw that day. However, in contrast, Zhou Lu's ability only needs the energy supply of ordinary Cheng Dù, but Zhong Youxin's ability is different. It may be okay to arm one or two people, but if it is to be popularized on a large scale, the energy budget of the institute will be completely unbalanced.

Because of this reason, Zhou Heng has paid more and more attention to the real yàn. But what I didn't expect was that before there was any progress here, there was some good news from the outside world.

After participating in this incident, the outside countries did not just send some people to join the war. The intelligence agencies of several countries have jointly uncovered a new cult in southern Canada -- an organization that was founded less than a month ago and now has more than 1,000 followers. Although the table xiàn on weekdays is no different from a normal person, there are no less bad things to do behind the scenes. One of the strictest incidents was the last raid on the Institute.

There are some high-level magicians from the world of "Wind Country" in this cult organization, and after bewitching some hackers on the earth as assistance, they finally succeeded in cracking the information system of Zhou Heng's base, and made an offensive plan that can severely damage the base's defense facilities in a short time; Although it did not succeed in the end, it also caused a lot of trouble for the base of the institute.

The combination of science and magic, Zhou Heng has long thought of it; If it weren't for this discovery, Zhou Heng wouldn't have thought of what kind of trouble these seemingly reckless and impulsive magicians could cause; The last time the base was invaded, it was also regarded by Zhou Heng as an accident. It was only now that Zhou Heng figured out how these cultists had paralyzed the entire base's security system in a matter of minutes.

Before these alien invasions, Zhou Heng had encountered two cursed events, and although these two incidents were successfully resolved by Zhou Heng, the cultists' actions were more than that—in other parts of the earth, there were also some cursed ordinary people. Without Zhou Heng's protection, these people soon fell into darkness; Some died, while others were brainwashed into becoming new cultists, and returned to Earth, where they became the biggest bargaining chips for these cultists hiding in the dark.

Later, Zhou Heng angered Alan Noah, and the reason why the other party was able to start it immediately was due to the contributions of these cultists. And these cultists, who have common sense beyond the earth, can develop at a rapid pace without being discovered. Not only did it gather a lot of believers in a short period of time, but it also played a decisive role in the raid. Those hackers on Earth used magic to complete the invasion of the Institute.

After catching these people, many clues will of course become clearer. In addition to eradicating part of the trouble. The clues you get from them are also very important. According to causal clues. Zhou Heng's elites found a space debris that had been abandoned. Obtained some important clues to the causal relationship between these cultists. According to Zhou Heng's estimates, he could use these things to find three cult lords - including Alan Noa, who had been severely injured last time.

However, Zhou Heng was not in a hurry to go out immediately and have a decisive battle with these enemies of the other world.

After dealing with them for a long time, Zhou Heng probably knows a little about the details of these cultists. Now that they have found their minions hidden on the earth, Zhou Heng sent the personnel of the executive department to bring the instruments of the church and cooperate with various countries to carry out a general investigation; Many cultists who were hiding among ordinary people were caught. Some items with traces of the cultist's magic have also been destroyed. It just so happened that the people of the Church had recently made new research progress on the 'Sword of the Silver Moon', and after a large-scale operation using a modified version of the 'Sword of the Silver Moon', the Cultists' power on Earth fell below a critical point. And the meaning of this will soon come out.

Cultists don't ship monsters to Earth at will. Generally speaking, they can only be teleported near some places where the zài space sign is stored. The range of space signs is very large, and it is very difficult to find out where the monsters are located; What's more, there are some cultists who can arrange it at any time, and it is very difficult to prevent it in advance. But now, with the hidden cultists on Earth suffering heavy losses, these space symbols are becoming less and less. The number of monster haunts begins to decrease, as the range gets smaller and smaller. The wolf-filled earth finally regained its calm.

Is this a victory?

The sudden progress gave all sides a sense of unreality; The invaders, who were rampant a few days ago, have now been completely driven out of the earth. And under the interference of the 'Sword of the Silver Moon'. It is impossible for these people to continue to develop many cultists in the form of curses, and in such a situation, the feeling of victory is extremely clear.

However, Zhou Heng's plan is more than that.

"We can't just let it go, we're ready to continue to attack actively." When Zhou Lu specially asked him, Zhou Heng confided in the next battle plan, "We are still discussing what to do, but the next battle will definitely happen." ”

"What's the plan?"

"The guy you captured that day is actually an ordinary warlock who hasn't been brainwashed yet. Because he didn't dare to make a noise, he came to Earth with the monster army. After being captured by you, he provided us with many clues to save his life, including the means to find the cursed dragon. Zhou Heng said, "In addition, we have also found some traces of cause and effect of other cult lords, and now we have to decide who should clean up first." ”

"Oh......" Zhou Lu nodded, "Then when will the battle begin?" ”

"There's no hurry." Zhou Heng said, "It just so happens that we are going to have a negotiation, so you can come along." ”

Zhou Lu didn't know why, and followed Zhou Heng to the large underground training ground. There, there were already many people waiting-including Venia, Lin Feng, Zhong Youxin, and some people of different uniforms and different skin colors, who were standing by the wall at the moment, looking at the center of the empty training ground, as if they were waiting for something.

"It's ......"

"This is to invite you into the urn." Zhou Heng said, "We have opened a spatial coordinate here, and if those cultists are willing to come, they will definitely appear here." ”

The space coordinates on Earth have been cleared, and the cultists are no longer able to reach this world. However, Zhou Heng still set up a coordinate for the cultists to shuttle through space in the large training ground of the research institute.

"In that case, won't they be able to continue to send that kind of guy to attack?" Zhou Lu couldn't help asking, "And this is still a research institute, so you can't expand the spiritual ......."

"No, it won't. And even if they send some monsters over, the people here will be enough to deal with a lot of trouble. Zhou Heng Chengzhu said in his chest, "Even if all of them come together, they are not the opponents of these people present." ”

"This is also ......" Zhou Lu nodded and looked at the people around him. Not to mention Venia, Zhong Youxin, and Lin Feng, who have seen powerful people before, just those strangers are obviously not ordinary characters. Although they are not in battle, the battle-hardened aura on their bodies can be felt even by Zhou Lu, an ordinary girl. Looking at this solemn look, Zhou Lu couldn't help but be a little curious:

"And who's coming?"

"You'll find out later."

Zhou Lu nodded, didn't ask again, and followed Zhou Heng to the wall. When he turned around, he saw a sudden burst of black fog in front of him. The surrounding people took out their weapons one after another, and Zhou Lu also took out a necklace and prepared to join the battle, but was stopped by Zhou Heng.

"It seems that they are not here to fight, so don't be nervous."

Zhou Lu didn't know why, turned his head to look, but saw a figure walking out of the black fog. (To be continued......)
