Chapter 275: Civil Strife? I don't wait
Holy Light!
Endless Light!
Blinding light shot out from Luke's hands, from the lenses of the ground, and even from the lenses of the sky, from top to bottom, from every corner, from every position!
Towards the same goal - Ramses, and the black sands of the abyss around him.
The glow is not like lava and can be affected by rain, it shines on the black sand with full power, just a face, the light makes the black sand ripple in bursts, wisps of black smoke rise, and then it is purified by more holy light in the future.
In the next instant, holy light shining from different positions enveloped it.
Black smoke rises and is then purified.
After only resisting a few breaths, the black sand and gravel were all purified by the holy light, and all of them evaporated directly into air, leaving only a one-meter-three pharaoh corpse with a beastly face and lost his mind.
The abyssal energy had eroded its body and reason, and the white bandages around it had turned pitch black.
Under the illumination of the holy light, it was like the black sand that had preceded it, evaporating black gas and then purifying.
One meter three shrunk into one meter two, one meter one, one meter in the holy light.
Eventually, the pharaoh, controlled by the Abyss, disappeared in the light of the Light.
The twelve Praetorian guards who had trudged through the rain also lost their strength to maintain their bodies with the disappearance of their masters, turning into clumps of yellow sand that melted and dissipated in the rain.
In the mirror, Luke stopped the power of [Mirror Transmission], causing the rain to disappear, and the sun shone warmly in the circle again, and the rain slowly formed small puddles along the terrain, or merged into the lake again.
The ability tree swayed and sucked up the loot
Gain XP - 7%, currently XP level 18 (1%)
Gaining Divinity β Sand (2)
This upgrade obtains attributes - Soul Strength +2, Body Strength +1
At present, the soul strength is 40, which has reached the limit of the current energy level, and the free attribute points of the divine overflow energy transformation cannot continue to be improved.
At present, the strength of the body is 27, and the remaining divinity gains 2 free attribute points that have not been added.
As the level increases, the transformation of the Void Divinity, which is being diligently transformed, is also completed as if the gods help it.
Divinity "mirror" +1, the current number of "mirrors" - 8.
Because it is transformed from the original divinity, there is no increase in free attribute points.
For the next goal of [Divine Purification], Luke thought about it, still fearing divinity.
This divinity has little effect on strong enemies, mainly because it is easy to abuse vegetables, but Luke has many methods, and there are many younger brothers, and there are more ways to abuse vegetables, and it is not bad to be afraid.
He once again selected a wisp of "fear" divinity, gradually transformed it into a blank divinity with the [Divine Purification] method, and then placed it at the root of the "mirror" to assimilate.
Blank divinity +1, fear divinity remaining (3).
After two great battles, the forest hut was completely in ruins, and the whole jungle was full of mud and puddles as if it had just been flooded.
Luke pressed the remote control in his hand again, and after a few minutes, instead of a monster crawling out of a dark corner, a small passenger car crawled on the ground between the stagnant water and the broken tree trunk.
"What's wrong? Are these monsters the only ones? Looking at Piros, who got out of the car, Luke asked.
"Of course not," Piros said tiredly, rubbing his temples, "the people up there have temporarily halted the clean-up, saying yes - to make you pay." β
"What?" Luke rubbed his ears, "Did I just hear something wrong?" β
I'm here to work for you, clean up monsters, relieve the pressure of the "cabin in the woods", and save the world by the way, and I still have to pay?
Is this the capitalists of the lighthouse country? Pay me to work?
Piros didn't know how to explain it, so he had to say the original words of the brain-dead above.
"The council said - they know that killing monsters is good for your growth, and now the economic situation is not good, you come to pay to work, you gain growth experience, we gain money, win-win!"
As soon as he said this, he looked at Luke in such a shocked and unbelievable sense that he was even shocked by the brain circuits of these people, and even the emotions of anger did not exist
Pure and pure blank.
After listening to these words, I felt that my brain was itchy, and the cerebellum was atrophied.
Is this what humans can say?
Piros hurriedly continued: "I was also shocked, but some people up there did think so. Moreover, this cleanup was forcibly promoted by Director Hoover himself, and some formalities were missing in the middle. β
Speaking of this, he looked around, and after finding that no one was paying attention, he said in a smaller voice: "Those people have long been dissatisfied with the director, and they just took advantage of this incident to make trouble, and you have also been affected." β
Oh, so I get the idea, political struggle.
Got it, got it, although Luke also had plenty of money to support him to pay to kill monsters.
But- fuck, shame!
Who's stumbling?
Anyway, it's upgraded, so I won't wait.
Luke said sullenly, "Go, go back." β
Piros was obviously Hoover's man, and he quickly followed Luke and explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Hoover is only in a little trouble for the time being, and when his affairs are dealt with, he will go back and clean up all the things that are eaten inside and outside of this group, and you are very welcome to continue to clean up the monsters when the time comes." β
Let me come, let me go?
When I'm licking a dog?
Luke sat down in the seat of the coach and did not respond positively, but only said something ambiguous.
"It depends."
So Piros's head hurt even more.
Originally, the director wanted to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the legendary chosen son, and lay the foundation for the next step of contact in the future. Well, now that I'm halfway through my grace, I'm almost at the end of my vengeance.
Hey, those brain-dead people in the bureau, I really don't know what they think, the FBI was created by the director, he has the secrets of countless people in his hands, and he himself is the pinnacle of the model, a strong man who is close to the legend, how can anyone dare to challenge his authority after being casually teased by external temptations.
It's just that the internal and external difficulties are together, and it really makes them bad for the director.
What a hassle.
His inner activities are very rich, and Luke also added two free attribute points, increased the strength of his body to 29 points, and began to enter deep meditation, and at the same time, his body trembled very slightly, adapting to the newly strengthened physical state.
For a moment, the minibus with excellent sound insulation fell into a deathly silence.
By the time Piros's small intracranial theater was over, the silence had frozen into ice, and he tried to say something to liven up the atmosphere, but after opening his mouth a few times, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and finally he held back.
Silence, silence is tonight's bus.
Quietly, Luke went home, just as he had quietly gone.
After sending Piros away, Luke originally wanted to spend time with the police flower and the gangster who stayed in Phoenix City, and experience the feeling of Xiao Biesheng's newlywed.
But one of them is busy with cases, and the other is rectifying the underground order in Phoenix and several nearby satellite cities, both have their own careers, and they are so busy that they don't care about Luke at all.
Luke took the initiative to come to the door, but was beaten down by Serena.
According to her, oh, your Uncle Luke went out on a busy trip, and when he came back, he wanted me to accompany him, and I was fine? Circling around you every day?
But despite all that's said, she stayed that night.
After failing to sit down, Selena used a sword of words, coupled with a clever empty hand, a two-pronged approach, and Luke deliberately released water, which completed a successful fusion.
Exhausted, Selena slept groggily all night, and when she woke up in the morning, she went out again as soon as she woke up. Now with the "shadow" divine apocalypse, she can summon a shadow to cover her body at any time, blocking the direct sunlight, even if it is a sunny noon, she dares to go out directly.
Luke stayed in the room and continued to meditate for a long time, and then he got up, thinking about Selena, who had simply left, and for a while he didn't know who took advantage of whom.
With nothing to do, he thought about it for a long time, feeling that he couldn't be so decadent anymore, so he directly summoned Halpie and flew to the town of Arkham.
It seems that there has been a lot of turmoil in the official community recently because of the Masonic Society and the Solomon family, and even a powerful secret service like the FBI has had civil strife, and it is not suitable for contact now.
In addition to the official one, the first extraordinary intelligence channel that Luke can think of is Miskatanik University, where the information office and the large globe are too convenient.
Halpie came to Mi-Mi with ease, and the security guard at the gate recognized Luke this time, and he didn't need to call again, so he let him in.
Being able to work as a janitor in this school, which is rich in legendary investigators and has been invaded from time to time by dangerous species such as the families of the old gods, great races, and cults of evil gods, the old man certainly has two brushes, and maybe he was also a powerful researcher when he was young.
With respect for the old-timers, Luke bent down slightly and walked into the campus.
This time it was just in time, the students seemed to have just finished class, and looking at the energetic men and women who were about his own age, Luke only felt like children.
Hey, it's old.
Thinking about it, Luke had already walked into the office building of the history department.
I walked all the way to Professor Harvey's office, but I didn't find any trace of him. Luke asked a passing lecturer and learned that he had taken his graduate students out into archaeology.
After asking if it was real archaeology, and not going out to dig up the Cthulhu clan in the name of archaeology, Luke lost interest in this operation.
He thought for a moment, turned around and walked out of the office building of the Department of Archaeology, and came to the low building behind him, the Information Building.
The information desk was still on duty with the blessed Quinn Mena, which saved Luke from the need to reintroduce himself and call Professor Harvey.
After seeing Luke, Quinn was stunned for a moment, sifting through his mind for a few seconds before remembering his name.
He greeted him warmly: "Hey, Luke! I haven't seen you in a while, the last time the Arctic did a good job, Cerberus Mining now thinks that some troll living in the North Pole fought the monster they dug up and destroyed their base, and there is no suspicion that some extraordinary person did it. β
It's no wonder, after all, the scene is almost destroyed, and there are traces everywhere of Luke's late ability to control the frost, coupled with the huge footprints of the king of the mountain monsters, and the clues left by the movement of his body, it is indeed very reasonable to guess in the direction of the Arctic troll.
"Thank you for the good news," Luke shook hands with Quinn and walked over to the desk and sat down, "I'm here to see what else is worth dealing with." β
Quinn had already guessed Luke's intentions, but when it was verified, he took out a stack of intelligence materials from the filing cabinet next to him, and said to Luke: "Since the old gods have fallen silent, the professors and graduate students of the school have been much more relaxed, and they feel that the whole world has become peaceful, and there is really not much effective information recently. β
As he spoke, he pulled out two pieces of paper from inside.
"Well, some say there seem to be giants in the Adirondack wilderness, and there are three of them. According to local intelligence officers, they like to hunt and eat humans, but officials have checked twice and found no sign of the giants. β
"This is information from a druid who is practicing in the Amazon jungle, I heard him say that there seems to be some abnormal changes there, some strange spore creatures are revival, and now there are many anomalies in the center of the rainforest, which are no longer suitable for human habitation, and even extraordinary people are very dangerous there."
Luke was keenly aware of the elementβspore creatures.
He thought of the strange spores he had found in the Arctic pit earlier, could they be the same creature?
If so, how did it get from the Amazon to the North Pole?
There's a huge mystery involved.
And what Luke is best at is to put aside the messy decryption process, directly tear apart the mystery, and find the sweet fruit in the core - often monsters that can be turned into experience points.
Luke made up his mind that it was this spore creature of the Amazon rainforest.
I've heard for a long time that it's the lungs of the earth and the "kingdom of the world's animals and plants", but I've never seen it before, so I happened to stop by this time to see it for a long time.
The world is so big, I want to go and see it, and by the way, cut down a few monsters that are local specialties.
Thinking of this, he took the blank piece of paper in Quinn's hand that recorded the information.
Seeing that he was interested, Quinn introduced: "The location where the mutation appeared is in the center of the rainforest, where an ancient clan originally lived, but now they have all moved, and those who have not relocated have never reappeared. β
"If you want to know more information, go to the city of Manaus, Brazil, and the druid who gave us the information has organized an expedition, which may be explored in the near future."
"The druid's name is Edel Dipiy, and when you arrive in Manaus, you can look for him at the local zoo or botanical garden, which he likes to spend most time in." (End of chapter)
