Chapter 988: The Accidental Instigator

Because of various conditions, the flight speed of the psionic wings is not very fast, only a little faster than the average carriage, but his flight altitude is very high, after flying out of the hotel, he controls the psychic wings to climb quickly, and soon flew to a height of four or five hundred meters, in the dark night, even if someone looks up, I am afraid that he will not be able to see his figure clearly.

Soon Leo flew to the outskirts and landed in the place he had chosen.

It is a quarry on the outskirts of Kabu City, which was built from stone quarries in the early days, and it also prospered for a time, and even a small town was built in the city.

However, some scholars later found that there are some problems with the quality of the stone here, there are too many internal impurities, not strong enough, and there is no problem in building some low-rise buildings or paving roads, but once it is used as stone for high-rise buildings, it will inevitably cause accidents such as collapse.

At that time, the officials of Kabu City ignored this warning and continued to use the stone here, until one day a fifteen-story building under construction collapsed without warning on the day it was built, which attracted the attention of the officials, and stopped the mining of local stone, and used all foreign stone.

Because there was no sales, the quarries were closed due to bankruptcy, and the towns built on the quarries gradually became depopulated, and eventually everyone left the towns, and these towns became the ghost towns of various urban legends in Kabu City, and no one lived here anymore.

However, now there are some people from these ghost towns, who settled here a few months ago, and usually they live in the town except for sending people to the town to buy some daily necessities, let alone leaving the town, even if there are very few people out of the house.

These people did not have to worry about starving to death because they had no work, and every month the city of Kabu would send someone to take a certain amount of handicrafts from them and pay them enough to feed their families.

The main reason why the Kabu city government will place these people in these uninhabited remote ghost towns and live in isolation is mainly because these people are all mutants.

Unlike the French Empire, which completely discriminates against mutants and will try their best to catch mutants, the United Kingdom of France discriminates against mutants much weaker, and the United Kingdom is also very willing to accept those mutants who can still maintain their sanity after mutating, and these sensible mutants will be recruited by the special services of the United Kingdom because of their special abilities and become government employees, such as the intelligence department under Sylvia, which has many similar mutants and dependents.

But even so, there are still many of these mutants who have obvious physical mutations, but have not obtained supernormal strength of incomplete mutants, except for a very small number of people with a skill, the vast majority of ordinary people will not be recruited by the United Kingdom government, in order to settle these mutants, lest the mutants go around and make trouble for their own urban security, and in order to prevent the United Kingdom's reputation among the mutants from going bankrupt, the United Kingdom will concentrate these mutants in some abandoned towns and manage them centrally。

Usually these mutants don't need to do anything difficult, they just need to make some handicrafts and sell them to the government's buyers.

When Leo was training the spirit network, he had already discovered the existence of these mutants, and also found that these mutants were definitely not as ordinary as they appeared, because Leo found seven complete mutants with energy fluctuations among these mutants, but because the energy fluctuations of these seven mutants were not particularly strong, and these mutants also knew the rules and would not go out to make trouble, so Leo did not plan to help the Kabu City Government deal with these hidden dangers.

The quarry where Leo landed was a quarry located at the very edge, and judging from the quarry, mining had only stopped for a long time, and the entire mountain had only been dug off the surface, and it was not like other quarries that had already dug up the entire mountain.

Leo landed on a relatively flat rock, and after falling, he used psionic energy to sweep away all the dust and debris on the surface of the rock, and then used psionic energy to quickly polish the ground, carving out a magic circle composed of twisted patterns and patterns, and then placed the corpse in his hand in the middle of the magic circle in a pattern that looked like three eyes superimposed.

If the assassin hadn't died, Leo would have had a way to use a psionic skill that could read the memory cells of the brain and extract the relevant memories directly from the assassin's brain, but now that the assassin is dead, the brain cells are inevitably irreversibly damaged, so Leo can only use another method to directly interrogate the assassin's soul, or primordial consciousness.

The spell that Leo wants to cast comes from the abyss, which is an ancient abyss spell preserved in the knowledge of the abyss serpent, and the knowledge of the abyss records that any living being, whether it has wisdom or not, will continue to remain in the body for seven days after death, and will only leave the body after seven days, and the unbelievers will dissipate in the heavens and the earth, while the believers will be taken away by the gods they believe in, and if the gods disappear, these believers will also merge into the heavens and the earth like the unbelievers.

The abyss spell that Leo is about to cast is based on this abyss theorem, which can awaken the primordial consciousness of the dead and control the primordial consciousness, those underground churches or cultists may use this method to create corpse golems that can be controlled, and all Leo needs is to control the dead and ask for the information he wants.

After placing some high-energy substances in different positions, Leo, who was ready, began to stand next to the carved magic circle and began to recite the abyssal prayer like a curse according to the rituals mentioned in the abyss knowledge.

At first, Leo's voice sounded like he was arguing with someone, but soon the tones of the abyssal prayers mixed together, forming an inexplicable resonance, and this resonance reaction also affected Leo, making his voice as he reciting the prayer a little unusual, sounding like a nervous whisper.

With the change of sound, the high-energy substances arranged around Leo also emitted different colors of light, and when these lights were so strong that they were dazzling, they seemed to flow into the magic array below like mercury, and then converged towards the symbol in the middle of the magic array, and when all the light converged into the distorted symbol in the middle, the light also mixed together, turned black, and then slowly penetrated into the corpse on the symbol.

At the same time as the power of the magic array merged into the corpse, the corpse also twitched violently as if it had come to life, as if a hysterical patient had become ill.

Immediately after, the corpse's closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing the eyeballs as black as ink, and all the blood vessels in its body floated, making it look even more hideous.

The Léo Assassin stopped reciting the Abyss Prayer because the moment all the magic array power melted into the corpse, he could feel some connection between himself and the corpse, through which he could control the corpse, and the corpse was able to influence his mind through this connection.

"Tell me, who told you to kill the heir of Count Maupassant?" Leo said straight to the point as soon as he was sure that he could control the corpse.

"Ah...... Ah......h......h Man, Lord...... People!"

"Who's your master?" asked Leo again.

"Ahh......h Flames!"

With these two screams, a golden flame suddenly appeared from the corpse's body, instantly dispersing the power of the abyssal magic array on the corpse's body, and at the same time burning the corpse to ashes.

Seeing this, Leo's face became a little gloomy, because the flames that appeared just now showed that this assassin was a cleaner from the church, and a cleaner who had been blessed by the gods of the church where he was located.

In the church, there are paladins who stand in front of people and are admired by the world, and there are also some cleaners who help the church do all kinds of dirty things, but because of the Reformation and other reasons, the number of cleaners in the current church is very small, and the cleaners who have been blessed by the gods are even rarer.

The flame just now was obviously transformed by the divine power of the gods, and its function was to enable the believers who received the blessings not to be polluted by the evil gods and evil arts after death, so that their souls could be integrated into the heavens and the earth in a pure way.

As for Leo, in addition to the fact that this assassin came from the church, he was even more surprised that judging from the energy fluctuations shown by the divine power, the church where the cleaner was located turned out to be the church of the Lord of the Sky, which means that the upper echelons of the Church of the Lord of the Sky wanted to kill the heir of Sylvia.

If Leo hadn't seen the scene with his own eyes, the whole process was within his perception, and all the details had been captured by him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to believe that the Church of the Lord of the Sky would defend little Tolan to the death, which is really a bit unreasonable.

Although Sylvia is not a member of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, nor is she a follower of the Lord of the Sky, her close relationship with the Church of the Lord of the Sky is extraordinary, even closer than that of the faithful.

According to Sylvia's own account, when she was young, she lived in the Holy See of the Lord of the Sky in the Kingdom of Magaria for a period of time, and established a deep friendship with the upper echelons of the Lord of the Sky Church.

But now the Church of the Lord of the Sky has sent cleaners to assassinate Sylvia's heir, and the sudden change is so sudden that it took Leo a while to recover from his shock.

"The cleaner who can send the blessing of the gods, this person's status in the branch of the United Kingdom Sky Lord Church must be very high," Leo made an instant guess in his mind, and several identifications also surfaced.

If other churches do this, Leo will probably not hesitate to kill the door directly, and will not track down who is the messenger, and just kill all the church leaders who are qualified to direct this cleanup.

But now he can't do that, and a church that has such a good relationship with Sylvia is sending someone to do this kind of thing, and no matter how you look at it, it feels a little weird, so he decides to go back and tell Sylvia what happened, let Sylvia find out who is behind it, and then decide what to do.

After deciding to use his psionic energy to erase the abyssal magic circle on the ground and disperse the power of the surrounding abyss, Leo prepared to use his psionic wings to leave the quarry.

"Huh?" But the appearance of an energy fluctuation made Leo stop the psionic skill he was performing, and he couldn't help but look towards the town where the source of the energy fluctuation was located with some curiosity.

This sudden energy fluctuation was not strong, and if Leo hadn't just opened his psionic wings to capture the free energy around him, he wouldn't even be able to feel this faint energy fluctuation.

However, the reason why such a faint energy fluctuation was almost imperceptible aroused Leo's curiosity was that he felt the energy fluctuation of gamma rays from this energy fluctuation.

In the scientific research materials released by the higher civilizations of the universe, it has been clearly mentioned that there are no gamma rays in the subspace, as long as there are such special energy rays in the normal universe.

Leo had previously deduced from the various materials he had collected that the world of Veron, and indeed the entire Black Forest world, should be in subspace, so it was reasonable to infer that gamma rays should not appear here.

But now he clearly felt the special energy fluctuations of gamma rays, which made him wonder if his previous inference might be wrong, and the initial judgment might be right, this was actually in a certain star field in the normal universe.

Leo thought about it for a moment, and decided that he should go to the source of similar Gamma Imagine Energy to see where this energy came from.

Thinking of this, Leo immediately took action, unfolding the spiritual net while moving towards the town outside the quarry.

Soon Leo came to the outside of the town, but his spiritual network was not able to catch the energy fluctuation, mainly because the energy was too weak, and it exceeded the minimum energy fluctuation that the spiritual network could feel.

For this reason, Leo can only cast psionic wings to indiscriminately collect the free energy around him, but he doesn't know why there is no gamma-ray-like energy in the free energy around him, which makes Leo wonder if he had a delusion before.

However, before Leo's suspicions increased, the gamma-ray-like energy fluctuations reappeared, and they were quickly captured by the psionic wings, and the location of the energy fluctuations was also found.
