Chapter 163: Temptation
Xia Noya's hunch was correct, the distortion would indeed come to her door at some point in the future, but Lin Qiu didn't expect it to be so soon, still in Alyssa's manor. And the distortion was also very different from what he imagined, after Xia Noya had done so much foreshadowing for his strength, this sloppy middle-aged tavern image made Lin Qiu completely disillusioned.
In particular, the actual combat power he seems to be is not as exaggerated as Xia Noya described.
"Hey, don't judge people by their appearance!"
Distorted with his hands around his chest, his tone was extremely dissatisfied, if it wasn't for the situation, he wouldn't have deigned to seek Lin Qiu's help at all. Indeed, if he wanted to, he could turn the entire imperial capital into a living hell in an instant, and he could even make the Black Death that happened centuries ago happen again......
However, the failures of the past made him understand the real enemy.
The Holy Maiden, Charnoa, Maran Ferin...... As long as the "Order Cult" still exists, no matter what becomes of the continent, they will complete the reconstruction. It was also the failure that made the aberration understand the limitations of his own ability, and his ability could not affect people of Xia Noya's level, and even those who were weaker than him had little effect.
He couldn't directly spread the plague into the two people in front of him, and ordered them to follow his will.
However, he believes that there is an opportunity for cooperation between the two sides.
He observed the two of them for a long time through the plague scattered on the nuns of the church, and these two people had shown strong dissatisfaction with the saint and Xia Noya since they stepped into the church, and Phoenix's resentment towards the saint naturally did not need to be mentioned, and Lin Qiu was the one who had just been robbed of Xia Noya's ability.
"However, I am not very in favor of the plan to attack the church headquarters, that would be too reckless. Indiscriminate death will only increase Charnoya's anger, which is also not a good strategy. Aberration offered his opinion in his deep, hoarse voice.
Lin Qiu couldn't believe that this sentence came from the mouth of a villain.
It's like a crime-ridden warmonger who suddenly talks about love and peace in front of people. Aberration, the initiator of the sudden reduction of the mainland's population by one-third a few centuries ago, is now seriously proposing the idea of "not creating mass death" in front of Lin Qiu and Phoenix.
"Trust me, you're the only one here who will cause mass death. ”
"What, is it just me?" Distortion was surprised.
You're here to be funny, right?
Distortion looked around at Lin Qiu and Phoenix's eyes like caring for mentally handicapped children, and pursed his lips.
It took hundreds of years to escape from the bottom of the "Spiral City", and the success of the prison escape plan was not only related to his special ability, but also a series of coincidences, he had been preparing for so long, but it was not to come out and slaughter some civilians indiscriminately, and then be thrown back to the "Spiral City" by Xia Noya.
He had to fly far away, and to do that, he had to need the help of others.
"Wait, we'll come one by one. ”
Lin Qiu felt that something was not right.
He had always called himself Conan of this era, the savior of the Helutia guards...... But the current situation seems to be a little different from the familiar Conan plot, and before he has time to reason, the suspect automatically runs in front of him, which is like being able to play Bgm with successful reasoning five minutes after the animation starts.
That's where the most unreasonable thing goes.
"Can you explain what this means first?" Lin Qiu took out the note that Gawain Don Quixote had specially left for them. The real reason why he was involved in this incident was the Mask Four and the targets marked on this note, if it weren't for Alyssa, Richard, Ophelia and other acquaintances who were involved, he wouldn't have investigated this matter at all, and he wouldn't have met Xia Noya, and his ability would naturally not be "confiscated" by Xia Noya.
So the reason for this is that all of this is distorted.
"Oh, that's what you say. Distortion disagreed.
He didn't care too much about the innocuous victims, and the Mask Quartet were just pawns in his hands. From the moment they escaped from Spiral City with the help of his power and succeeded in escaping with him, the chess piece's mission was complete.
"The four of them were framed by the nobles, and their hearts were full of anger against the nobles, and I just made them mistakenly think that they had the ability to take revenge on the nobles. ”
Creating chaos is what the aberrant wants most, and those four guys can just do the right thing to mislead the church, and if the quartet continues, their future will be like that of the couple who were wiped out by Xia Noya in the square. False faith will only bring them death.
After Lin Qiu heard this, he was a little relieved.
In this case, it was just a trick of aberration, and the prisoners at the bottom of Spiral City didn't have their eyes on the people around him.
"But, you're different. ”
Aberration sincerely assured Lin Qiu and Phoenix: "You are people who can be allies, as long as we join forces, not only will you be able to regain your own abilities, but I will also be able to escape from Xia Noya's pursuit smoothly." ”
"No, as long as you turn yourself in now, they will give me back the power right away. ”
"What a cruel person!Aren't we friends?Didn't you think about my situation at all!?" After hearing this, Aberration accused Lin Qiu of being cold-blooded.
"Who's friends with you?"
"Although we haven't crossed paths so far, I firmly believe that in the near future, the three of us will become friends with all kinds of words. ”
"I don't think so. Phoenix took a step back in disgust.
Dragons and phoenixes are both clean-loving creatures, and after absorbing Leorea's dragon soul, she loves cleanliness twice as much - there is absolutely no way she can be friends with a guy who spreads diseases everywhere.
Distortion looked at Lin Qiu and Phoenix with a 'no bargain' face, and suddenly laughed. The smile that barely squeezed out of his shriveled face was enough to make any child have a nightmare for a month: "Worthy of my fancy junior......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Phoenix in a huff: "Who is your junior? You weren't born when I fought with the bastard saint!"
Class and generation are the two most important points for monsters.
Distorted face stiffened, and he hesitated for a while before continuing: "Sure enough, ordinary methods can't move you, but I hope you understand, I won't ask you for help in vain." ”
As he spoke, the distortion path stared at Lin Qiu.
- "You, long for the power to rival the Sith, aren't you? Xia Noya and the Holy Maiden are not the ones who can help you, the people who know the 'Four Knots' and have the ability to help you through the test, are standing in front of you at this moment. ”
It's time to show your cards.
The distorted smile became even more permeable.
He couldn't resist the thirst for power, and he remembered the feeling vividly, so he knew that no one could resist the temptation.
