If memory serves, the circuit pattern she created by feeling at that time should have been obtained from that mysterious fragment, and when you think about it, the origin of that fragment is even more precious

When the [Cup] was put into the Federation, Xu Zhi thought that he just wanted to rely on it to open the passage between Midnight and the present world, but now that he thinks about it, maybe he still wants to hide the fragments?

I just don't know where the god of the cup got this fragment.

Although Xu Zhi had some guesses about the origin of this fragment, she was not 100% sure, if it was really as she guessed, then the gods of the [Cup] would definitely find her and try to retrieve the fragment.

But now that the fragment has completely fused with her and become her blood and bones, according to the style of [Cup], most of the people who catch her will find a way to smelt her flesh, or devour her and inherit the fragment.

Either way, until now, no one knew anything about the circuitry in her body, and she didn't plan to reveal it to anyone.

"Is there anyone else you want to say?"

She asked again, and the researchers who were hanging in the air by the little xenomorph opened their mouths and said that they had something to say, but when Xu Zhi emphasized that if she said that if she said it, it would be repetitive or useless, and she would kill this person immediately, most of them were intimidated, but they were still begging for mercy and begging Xu Zhi to let him go.

Xu Zhi ignored this, confirmed to the supervisor that all data and backups had been destroyed, asked about the last defensive measures he had intended to activate the institute, and informed Xu Zhi of a security exit that had been set up when it was built.

After determining everything, Xu Zhi waved his hand, and the little xenomorph directly ate all the researchers who had not yet come down.

And these researchers who had landed "safely" just showed a little fear on their faces when they saw this, and the three family members who had been quietly stopping beside Xu Zhi suddenly rioted, killing these researchers one after another in an instant.

And Xu Zhi looked at the director's dead eyes with a surprised face and said, "I swear, I really didn't do it, and I didn't ask them to do it." ”

It's just that the family knew the worries in her heart and spontaneously made such a decision, which had nothing to do with her, and she really didn't do it.

As for the director's oath circuit, of course she moved her hands and feet, how could she really make that kind of vow to let the tiger return to the mountain?

The self-destruction procedure of the research institute was activated again, and Xu Zhi called the dog to ride it away quickly from the underground research institute that was about to be destroyed, and when he left, he also used [moths] to kill all the guards to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

Less than thirty seconds after returning to the ground, the rumbling sound of earthquakes and explosions came from the ground, followed by the alarmed transcendent creatures and birds, Xu Zhi, who was riding on the dog, could feel that the ground in this area was trembling, and the ground collapsed to flood this unknown underground laboratory, and also covered up many secrets that were not known to the outside world.

It wasn't until he confirmed that the place was completely submerged, and even opened the [Peeping Secret Pupil] to find that there was no trace of a living person, that Xu Zhi turned around and left.

She thought that so far, maybe most of the underground laboratory was carried out according to the "prophecy", and the person who brought her here probably also aimed to destroy the research institute, the only difference was probably that she did not kill Jiang Qing directly, but chose to let her suffer a midnight attack when she only had half a breath left.

Everything found in the laboratory made Xu Zhi have some subtle emotions about this "prophecy", she was a little glad that she found it and destroyed it, but at the same time she was afraid that the person who made the prophecy also knew something and whether it would be unfavorable to her.

Once she got out, she had to figure out who the prophet was.

After leaving the research institute, Xu Zhi planned to go to the middle layer of the lost land, and when she reached the middle level, the danger would increase, but it was still not dangerous for her, and the only thing to pay attention to was the night, in the middle layer, the concentration of extraordinary energy contained in the air, with some rare extraordinary materials and higher-level transcendent creatures, would also appear more frequently, she planned to promote all the dependents except for the small aliens to the name before deciding whether to go deep into the lost land or leave temporarily.

And during the period when Xu Zhi was raising the level of his family, the sect where the spirit body was located at the bottom of the Lotus City finally prepared all the materials and believers needed for the ceremony.

The owner of the factory does not live here, and the management team of the factory is almost already "their own people", so it is not difficult for the believers to take advantage of the night to make a sacrifice.

The security of the surveillance area has long since been replaced by believers, a factory that was originally used as a warehouse has been emptied, the floor is painted with paint made of blood mixed with extraordinary materials to draw a bright red ritual circuit, a hundred well-preserved blood food has been placed in the circuit, and fifty believers are now blindfolded with cloths, plugged ears, and sitting cross-legged at various nodes of the circuit as a living sacrifice.

Xu Zhi controlled the spirit body, still wearing the black wide cloak and the hood that covered most of her face, and walked calmly to the center of the circuit, and someone looked at her with a jealous look, but she didn't dare to say anything.

It's not like no one has tried to do something to Xu Zhi these days, such as trying to kill her within the scope of the least impact, but it's all in vain.

For now, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and no one can say anything more.

"Let's get started when you're ready."

On the surface, as the leader of the order, that is, the priest of the current order, holding a copy of the "doctrine", led the other believers to stand in the distance, looked at Xu Zhi and said.

Xu Zhi read the doctrine, and evaluated it as a stitching monster composed of copying and copying, which is used to pretend to outsiders, but this priest is quite good at pretending to hold this doctrine all day long and never leave his hand.

Seeing that everything was ready, Xu Zhi did not hesitate, and manipulated the spirit body to cut his wrist with a knife, and the blood instantly flowed out and dripped onto the bright red circuit.

It stands to reason that the person in the ritual will slowly ignite the ritual as the more blood is lost, the more blood the circuit absorbs, and as soon as the blood of the Xu rank drips, the circuit will begin to emit a radiant brilliance.

Several high-ranking believers who were watching this scene from a distance suddenly looked surprised, and some even murmured: "She is the one who is favored by the Lord, and she will definitely receive the Lord's gift!" ”

Hearing this, the faces of several high-ranking believers were even more unsightly.

"Why is she?"

"Is there anything special about her?"

"Can you plan in particular?"

“.”

"Is this too fast, she has just called to the Lord when she hears her voice and answers?"

The voices of jealousy kept coming, and as the red light of the ritual circuit became more and more abundant, these voices gradually faded away.

Xu Zhi, who was in the center of the ceremony, could feel that his thoughts were gradually blurring, as if he had sunk to the bottom of the sea full of blood, the voice in his ears became blurred, his eyelids became heavy, and his heartbeat seemed to slow down.

Then, it was the call and closeness from the depths of the body as if from the blood, with a certain majesty and a high level that people couldn't help but want to worship, the existence that couldn't see the face clearly, and couldn't even hear the voice clearly, said something to Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi couldn't hear the specific language, but he could feel that it was the meaning of satisfaction.

Her emotions involuntarily rose a little excited and happy, like a child who has been praised by her mother.

Such a strange emotion made the body in the lost place frown, but did not intervene, but continued to observe.

The spirit body's thinking seems to be completely out of her control, of course, this is also because Xu Zhi is intentionally indulgent, she doesn't want to show any flaws, in the sinking, she seems to have received the gift from the high position, and then, a large amount of [cup] attribute energy suddenly poured into her body, as if. These energies are infused directly from the bloodline.

Her [Cup] attribute circuit seemed to have been nourished in some way and began to grow, and this circuit was completely different from the appearance of Xu Zhi's other two pieces, probably because it was naturally generated.

Soon, her aura broke through again and again, and then, she heard the high-ranking being say something again.

Xu Zhi understood this sentence, but he was also shocked by the content in it.

[The fog is coming, the time has come for the destruction of Lotus City, pass the test, and you can take charge of Lotus City. 】

Seriously?

The fog is coming, it should be said that the bottom fog, after the fog comes, Lotus City will be destroyed?

Test?

What test?

Just as Xu Zhi was thinking, the consciousness of the split spirit body suddenly sank, as if falling backwards from the sea into the sky, a strong sense of weightlessness came, and then it suddenly stopped, and when he didn't realize it, the person was already standing firmly on the ground.

"Opened" her eyes, she was surprised to find herself standing in a place that was both familiar and strange.

It seems to be a region here, the earth is black, and the sky is scarlet, and the charred black earth is surging like blood from time to time, and the only thing that exists in the entire barren world is the huge blood-colored ladder in front of you.

She'd seen this ladder in the Commonwealth.

However, the ladder at that time was not as magnificent as the one in front of him, and it did not make Xu Zhi feel such a strong sense of oppression, as if just looking at it directly required extremely strong courage.

This is the ladder to climb to become an archbishop.

Hell, she's the second time she's qualified as an archbishop of the [Cup] attribute.

Could it be that she is also related to [Cup]?

However, the first time it was obtained was fake, and this time, it seems that it will not be too easy to obtain this qualification.

But if nothing else, the former archbishop has not fallen, then now the number of archbishops is also seven, and the small aliens in the seven already occupy one, and she takes one more, good guys, two of the seven archbishops are internal ghosts.

Now I have to be serious!

Looking at the blood-colored ladder in front of him, where he could feel a burst of oppression just by standing in place, Xu Zhi thought for a moment that this sense of oppression should be aimed at her spirit and extraordinary energy, as for the physical body, it was not in this space, and even if her spirit was now divided into two parts, and a separate one was taken out, it was still stronger than a transcendent of the same level.

But there will be no absolute suppressive power in the whole time, which means that she may have some difficulty facing this ladder.

Ready, Xu Zhi walked towards the seemingly close blood-colored ladder in front of him.

Luckily, it wasn't as close as she had expected, but it was a long walk, and the ladder didn't seem to be about to make it difficult for her, and she quickly made her way to the front of the steps.

When I looked closer, I realized that the steps of the blood-colored ladder seemed to be made of the finest red gemstones, and it didn't seem to be a dead thing, and there seemed to be blood flowing in the smooth and gorgeous crimson steps.

Xu Zhi felt that this should be more than just a visual effect.

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped on the steps, Xu Zhi noticed that the touch of the steps was not the jade it looked like, but a swamp like thick blood and minced meat.

Xu Zhi walked several steps in a row, but he couldn't speed up, but deliberately stayed for a while to feel it, and then found that every step was like this.

If nothing changes after that, it means that she can't stop at any of the steps to rest until the end of the climb, and she has to either climb it all at once, or fail to be swallowed up by the steps.

Her instincts told her that it wasn't going to end well.

Xu Zhi looked up at the ladder that seemed to have no end, exhaled lightly, and then began to climb at an accelerated pace.

In the process of ascending, there are no obstacles similar to those of the Federation, as if the only obstacle is the flesh and blood swamp under the feet, but the empty world, the dark sky and the earth, the constant pulling of blood under the feet, and the ladder of heaven that still has no end in sight even if they continue to climb for a long time are all consuming people's will.

Xu Zhi timed in her mind as she climbed, and then she realized that in this space, the flow of time had slowed down.

She seemed to have been crawling in this space for a day and a night, but in reality less than an hour had passed.

If it weren't for Xu Zhi having "two selves" at the moment, she wouldn't have been able to be so indifferent.

Because she knows that the process of her climbing is not very long in reality, so she can endure it, if she is someone else, and sees that she has climbed for a day and a night, the distance from the sky seems to be still far away, I am afraid that a little impetuousness has risen in my heart.

It seems that there are not too many difficulties, but in fact, the goal that is far away and the sense of urgency that cannot be stopped for a moment is enough to drive people crazy.

"Insidious enough"

The body complained silently, and the consciousness of the spirit body was still climbing, and with the passage of "physical strength", the horror of this step made of flesh and blood swamp slowly appeared, and she had to use extraordinary energy as an aid to lift her already tired legs.

Xu Zhi noticed that the body of the spirit body here was much weaker than the one outside, and it seemed that it had been weakened.

Then, she slowly realized that a day and a night were just the beginning.

The long steps seemed to never see the end, the tired body and spirit were asking for rest, but the crisis under her feet made her unable to stop for a moment, Xu Zhi began to feel that the spiritual power and extraordinary energy were depleted, and the body could not directly transmit spiritual power and extraordinary energy to the spirit body, even if he could, Xu Zhi would not do so.

It was difficult to step up to the next level, even if the sweat had been rolling down from his forehead to the ground, Xu Zhi also thought, this test, but that's it.

She has never lacked willpower and resilience.

The position of the archbishop of the [cup] attribute, she decided.
