214 The Rites of York

The problem stems from a dimly lit chamber.

The environment of the chamber is strange, and the walls around it and the floor beneath your feet appear to be made of hard black stone bricks.

But if you look closely, you will see that the stone bricks are not substantial, but hazy and translucent, as if they were constructed by compressed mist.

And compared to the peculiarity of this room, the "people" in the room are actually even more eccentric-

One was a very young-looking teenager with short gray hair.

The other, however, is a humanoid freak with a white snake head.

The one who asked the question was the snake man, whose voice was hoarse, his tone was strange, and when he spoke, there was obvious confusion in his vertical pupils.

"It doesn't seem necessary?"

Obviously, this snake has the same confusion as the Empress.

But the Empress was able to have this kind of doubt because she knew Andy's condition and some of his actions very well.

The existence of the snake man is very foreign to Andy.

"I don't understand either."

Also unfamiliar was the gray-haired boy with whom he was talking, and as he spoke, he shook his head and said, "But there must be something wrong here." ”

"To be honest, I couldn't understand many of his behaviors at the time, but later on, I can always prove that those behaviors have all kinds of deep meanings."

"Are you referring to what happened inside that school?"

"Of course not, I mean, everything he does."

"Maybe he's improvising? I mean, no one can control everything, right? ”

"I don't rule out the possibility, but it's unlikely."

"Why?"

"Look at this place carefully......"

The two "people" who were talking sat facing each other, and in the middle was an ordinary partition table with many bright points of light floating on the table.

As the conversation continued, the boy would raise his hand to touch one of them from time to time, so that the corresponding points of light would be transformed into pictures.

Footage related to Andy.

From York, to St. Mary's College, and then to the headquarters of the Holy See, the scope includes but is not limited to living, praying, attending Mass, congregating, communicating......

It can be said that all aspects have careful observation, and the corresponding monitoring methods are even more scary.

"It's a pity that these are all retrospectively collected after the fact, and a lot of keys are missing."

The boy sighed regretfully as he fiddled with these points of light.

"He seems weak now, but no one can guarantee that he has any means of hiding, and out of caution, I have never approached him."

"If I'm not mistaken, it's not been long since you were resurrected?"

The snake man sitting opposite spit out the letter and said as if dismantling the stage: "And there is also the son named Theo who is secretly observing, you can't do much, right?" ”

"Dio's origins are the same as mine, and it will be difficult for him to find out what I really want to do."

The boy answered the question behind the snake man, but shrugged his shoulders at the front, noncommittal.

"And if you really believe that I have only recently been resurrected, you will be a fool."

"So?"

When the snake man heard this, he asked, "Do you have any clues?" ”

"What clue?"

"Then why did the reincarnated Lucifer become the Holy Son?"

"This one...... Well, it's not for nothing. ”

As he spoke, the boy raised his finger and pointed out a picture.

"After the incident of the arrogant demon king, the emperor supported a group of newcomers in York, and the movements of that group of newcomers during this period were very suspicious."

"Suspicious?"

"After the Great Purge, there was a vacuum of power in York, and a young girl named Lily succeeded in taking the lead with the help of the Imperial powers, but after that, she became obsessed with infrastructure."

"Is there anything wrong with that? Maybe it's her personal hobby? ”

The snake man was unimpressed when he heard this, "If young people are dissatisfied with the country they are in, then of course they have to do something after gaining power." ”

"And it's also possible that she's using the process of organizational infrastructure to establish authority."

Authority is established through concrete actions, and while mere backers can be awe-inspiring, they cannot develop the attitude and habit of obeying their orders.

So just looking at this matter, there is really nothing to doubt about it.

"That's what I thought at first."

The boy said, "But now, I don't think so. ”

"Why?"

"Because the construction of that place is basically over." As he spoke, he pointed out a new picture.

The scene in the picture is very peculiar -

Overlooking the planet in the vast void of space, a certain part of it, against the background of darkness, shows the outline of a pentagram very clearly.

"York is a small country, but just because it's small doesn't mean it's small. Considering the desert there, the country as a whole is at least in the top 10 on the planet. ”

"And this pentagram ceremony occupies the whole of York!"

Rite......

The snake man seemed to have an unusual interest in the word, his eyes fixed on everything in the picture, as if he did not want to let go of any details.

Seeing that the bird's-eye view was too hazy, it even urged the boy to come up with other pictures.

Of course, there are other pictures.

As the god of the dawn, the boy's use of light is terrifying, and his investigation of Andy's past is extremely detailed.

So as one point of light emerged after another, the white-skinned snake man gradually immersed himself in the various scenes.

"Resurrection? Does this seem to have something to do with the resurrection? ”

"No, no, this seems to be a soul anchor?"

"But why the pentagram?"

What kind of mythological system does this correspond to? The underworld? Earth? ”

"It's weird......"

Constantly spitting out the letter and muttering to himself, the snake man's expression became more and more puzzled.

"Do you see what's coming?"

Seeing that it was silent as it spoke, the young man sitting opposite couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything abnormal in this?" ”

He is good at many things, but he is not good at many things.

At least in terms of rituals, he is no different from Xiaobai.

The snake man is different, it is an absolute expert in this field, and among all the people and gods that the boy knows, there is basically no stronger than the other party.

Now, however, the expert seems to have run into a problem.

After hearing this, not only did he not respond, but his eyes were always on those pictures, and it seemed that he had lost his mind because of this......

The young man frowned slightly when he saw this, but he didn't bother, but waited patiently.

I waited for more than an hour.

"I see!"

At one point, a loud shout suddenly interrupted the silence in the chamber.

I saw the snake man's expression distorted, and his golden vertical pupils looked at the young man, and his tone was full of excitement.

"This is the Lord's anti-truth ritual!"

"The ritual of the Divine Lord?"

The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then as if he had heard something extremely important, his face was surprised with a touch of disbelief.

"Are you sure!?"
