Chapter 769: Several Ways to Guide Dreams
The strange phenomenon continues before the eyes of the townspeople.
They watched the figure large enough to cover the entire town fade before their eyes, then into nothingness along with the tsunami it towrew, and they were sure that the sea monster was still alive the moment before it vanished.
No one had ever seen anything like it, and they couldn't understand what Diego said the Father had done, the only thing they knew for sure was that the messengers of the Lord of the Tides who had given them endless fear had been erased so easily.
The Emperor was silent.
Strictly speaking, it was the second time he had seen the power of the "Father," but he had no clue about it.
The high priest's face was bloodless.
After confirming that the sea monster was indeed gone, he took a step back, trying to walk out of the square.
But as Diego said, he has no mercy for the vile villain.
Gravity crushed his body in an instant, breaking his bones, and it seemed that the Lord of the Tides did not endow the High Priest with a strong body, but only taught him some bells and whistles to trick ordinary people.
Diego, on the other hand, has already started his next steps.
He agrees with the idea of the 'Emperor'.
It takes enough skill to fight against the Church of the Tides to liberate the people of the town, but violence alone is not enough.
"I wonder if you have time next?"
Diego came to the crowd and let the bewildered residents focus their eyes on him, "I wish I could take a moment of your time to talk to you about God the Father and the Savior......"
Far away in the Seventeenth District, Song Lan cut off communication with Diego after sending the messenger of the Lord of the Tides to a better place, which he felt was already quite difficult for a man who had just returned from a back injury.
Lu Xiang took a towel soaked in cold water and sat by the window and looked at him with speechless and funny eyes.
She couldn't figure out how Song Lan had managed to hit her waist while sleeping, causing him to be "seriously injured" before facing the Lord of the Tides.
"I thought you were good at sleeping."
As she spoke, she put a towel on Song Lan's waist, "Don't move, it won't hurt after a while." ”
At the same time, she can't help but feel deep worries about Diego's future.
Although she had never met the orphan who lived in Silvermoon Harbor, all the people who had been "chosen" by Song Lan so far had inevitably completed the transition to the direction of a comedian artist, and she had recently heard that Hogg-Foster had also used his family's power to establish a foundation to gather stand-ins scattered around the world after returning to power.
"It's different, I was in a nightmare when I was on the surface before."
Song Lan felt a tingling of his scalp when he thought of the tentacles wriggling on the sea and the dense eyes on them, and he felt that he must have accidentally bent his waist in his sleep under the interference of nightmares.
But he was still a reasonable man, and he didn't kill those tentacles just because they were ugly.
Fortunately, the ship eventually docked, and he would not see those strange sea creatures again for the time being.
"How's your investigation going? Where did that meching force come from? ”
"I don't know, but Helena has found some information about those mechanical creations through the internal network of the unified military industry, which was most active 80 to 90 years ago, and has a small amount of information in the company's confidential documents."
However, this seemingly inconspicuous information led to a shocking plan, "There was once a part of parliamentarians who advocated the prosthetics of the whole people, transforming everyone into machines...... Probably to make them become "barren bones" or "emperors", in fact, "barren bones" is based on the product of this concept.
But then suddenly one day, the plan was shelved without mentioning the reason, and most of the research on mechanization was destroyed, and only a small part remains, although it also mentions that they did try to build an invincible fleet, and they named the airships the Steel Fortress.
"The purpose of the Steel Fortress is to allow humanity to be removed from the ground from now on, and it is to lay the foundation for a long time to adapt to interstellar travel and warfare in the future."
It's a pity that this plan, which has placed the good thoughts of countless people, was finally shattered for an unknown reason.
The explanation that Lu Xiang could think of was that they were blocked by psionic and genetic powers, so they had to disappear and disappear from the records of the coalition government for nearly a century.
"The reason why they are in the limelight now may be because the invincible fleet has been built."
As for the mechanical plague, it is a means for them to expand their army, "At present, the situation in Sector 17 is relatively stable, no more mechanized people have been found, and their main attention should be on the Misty Isles now...... But there's one more thing I don't understand, why do they go to that place with so much effort? ”
What awaits them in the Misty Islands is no ordinary opponent, just the local battle before landing on the island has caused them to lose a large number of troops, Lu Xiang always feels that even if they can finally defeat the Lord of the Tide, they will inevitably pay a high price and usher in a lose-lose ending.
"I'm afraid it's a reason for the high-ranking councillors to flee there, and they may think that there is a secret weapon there that can help them turn defeat into victory."
Taking advantage of Lu Xiang's efforts to help him with cold compresses and massages, Song Lan took out his mobile phone and looked up information about Atlantis in the Lost Kingdom on the Internet.
Until then, he had always believed that its existence was the product of the imagination of the people of antiquity, as had been the case with the historians of the coalition government, but the words of the island-inhabitants Paladin and the high priest of the Church of the Tides proved that there really was a sunken kingdom at the bottom of the sea in the heart of the archipelago.
It's a pity that on this issue, almighty netizens can't provide him with too many informative opinions.
There's a lot of talk about Atlantis, but most of them are no different from storytelling contests, and there are even a number of studios that have made films based on Atlantis.
"Looks like the only way to get them to the bottom of the sea is to find out."
After thinking about it, Song Lan could only think of this one way.
But it also meant that he had to help the two of them cross the sea between the Sunken Kingdom and the land, and God knows what terrifying creatures inhabit the water, and he had to emphasize that the real sea monster is much more terrifying than the pictures on the Internet.
And what he observed through Diego's eyes was much more real than in a VR movie, and when he got out of bed, he felt like he was full of fishy smells.
"Those sea monsters should be afraid of you."
Lu Xiang put forward a different opinion, and in the version of the story that Song Lan told her alone, he had already murdered two sea monsters, one of which was also the messenger of the Lord of the Tides.
She also suddenly found that Song Lan's identity as a serial killer seemed to be valid for any creature, "They should be worried that a serial killer has come to their territory, but they don't know if there are enforcers in the sea monster group to help them solve the problem." ”
"I think you should be more concerned about my mental health."
Song Lan has always been very resistant to the identity of "serial killer", and he doesn't know why he was inexplicably placed with the title of "serial killer".
Just like today, he had prepared seaweed rice balls as a toll when he went out to sea, but instead of giving him face, the sea monsters tried to sabotage the ship, leaving him with no choice but to give them a ride in person.
"Of course I'm very concerned about your mental health issues, I took a psychological counseling course when I was at Daystar, and I got a full score in that course at that time, although it may not be as good as a professional psychologist, but ordinary psychological counseling is still no problem."
Lu Xiang wrung out the towel and helped Song Lan to help him lie on his side on the bed.
She felt that she was too capable.
can not only help Song Lan treat his back injury, but also give him psychological counseling.
"I've heard that the registration fee of psychologists is very expensive, and the psychological counseling that is a little famous charges 24,000 watts per hour."
She also turned over on the bed and lay on Song Lan's side, "And they won't lie on the bed with you because of your back pain." ”
"Can you just lie down on the bed together?"
He dared to assert that the therapies that advocated bed-based therapy were by no means serious psychiatrists.
"Anyway, you can tell me if you have any troubles right now."
"As I told you, I won't be able to eat any seafood anytime soon."
"I understand, you're worried about having nightmares when you sleep for a while, dreaming of those sea monsters, I happen to know a psychological counseling method."
Lu Xiang followed the temptation, "You also mentioned just now that Diego and the 'Emperor' plan to rest in the town for one night, which means that they will not go to the sea in the center of the Misty Islands for a short time. ”
Song Lan was noncommittal.
"Then the solution is very simple, you only need to dream of me alone when you sleep tonight."
Lu Xiang felt that she might be a genius psychological counselor, and she came up with such a brilliant idea at once, and in the psychological counseling knowledge she came into contact with, she also mentioned some methods to guide dreams.
"You look at me carefully, and when I let you close your eyes later, you will keep reciting my name in your heart until you fall asleep, so that you will most likely dream of me when you are dreaming."
…………………………
Meanwhile, Diego, who knows nothing about it, has gathered the first people in the town who are willing to listen to him tell the story of the Father.
He believed that the things of God the Father could infect all people.
His eyes were full of determination, and although the Father had once again severed the connection with him, he believed that at this moment, the Father must be working to make the world a better place in a place that he could not see.
