435. The time has come
Xu Zhi vaguely guessed that this rally was probably to make trouble for them, but she felt that they couldn't be blamed for it, after all, they couldn't tie everyone up to Liancheng to fight.
If you have the ability, you don't have to start a war as an excuse.
Sure enough, although he still did not show up, at the moment when the aura was revealed, several archbishops present clearly felt a displeasure, such an emotion was undoubtedly terrifying, especially several archbishops, who turned into quails almost instantly.
He didn't speak for a long time, in such an atmosphere, even Xu Zhi felt a kind of torment, as if the guillotine on the top of her head was reluctant to fall, the factor that belonged to the [cup] in her body made her feel fear and fear, Xu Zhi frowned almost uncontrollably, she didn't like such involuntary emotions, and after mastering the midnight rules, she could start trying to cut.
As if he had seen enough of his subordinates' suffering, he slowly spoke, and a rhythmic voice appeared in their heads, as if the voice of the person who said these words was transmitted directly to their minds without speaking.
[Obtain a large amount of high-grade blood food as soon as possible to sacrifice to this place, no matter what method is used.] 】
The time limit is ten days, and if you can't do it, you will sacrifice your flesh and blood. 】
Ten days is not a generous time limit, now that the outside world's vigilance against the [Cup] has reached its peak, the transcendents are unwilling to set foot in Lotus City, and the believers of Lotus City are going to sacrifice their flesh and blood to him, it is impossible to consume them to let them leave Lotus City to capture blood food.
Even if the archbishops do it themselves, the efficiency is not high, how much can be caught in ten days?
A solution had to be found.
And what Xu Zhi cares about is the deadline of ten days, why ten days?
Is there anything going to happen in 10 days?
After His breath subsided, [Arrogant] turned ugly: "What now?" ”
Xu Zhi was also a little embarrassed in her heart, of course, what she was embarrassed about was that she had to find a way to cut off the link with Him within ten days.
As if sensing Xu Zhi's absent-mindedness, [Arrogant] glared at her viciously: "This time, you won't hide and be lazy, right?" ”
Xu Zhi blinked innocently: "But, is there any difference between me and me?" I can't think of anything useful. ”
That's what she said, but Xu Zhi didn't necessarily have no idea at all, she had a few bad ideas in her head, but she was too immoral to say it.
Someone sighed: "You don't need to think of a way, you just don't hide and be lazy, otherwise, you will die!" ”
The person who said this said this with a fierce voice, and he thought it was serious.
Xu Zhi nodded helplessly, but in fact thought that she had no intention of continuing to hide, Liancheng's book had been read, and it was time to go and see what the people outside were doing.
Several other archbishops gathered together to mutter, discussing what should be done, Xu Zhi just listened and did not give any opinions, and in the end, they discussed a solution.
On the 10th, how can we get a large amount of high-quality blood food into Lotus City on the 10th?
After thinking about it, they thought of the teleportation loop.
According to the outside world's current precautions against Liancheng, it is really difficult to get a large amount of blood food, so you can only play yin.
Teleportation loop, which is almost a necessary transcendent circuit in every city, teleportation loop is not a single existence, but must have a connection loop with it, most of the time, the teleportation loop is two by two, some higher quality access loop can carry multiple teleportation loops at the same time.
What's more, teleportation loops are generally built at the core of cities and forces, and exist as important assets, and they are surrounded by high-level transcendents, after all, ordinary people and low-level transcendents simply can't bear the burden of using teleportation loops.
And the underground of Lotus City, there is a huge transcendent circuit that is rare in the world, and using it as a carrying loop is enough to carry the load brought by the simultaneous operation of multiple teleportation loops!
Ten days is enough for them to quietly change the path of multiple teleportation loops, and expand their scope, forming one formation after another, forcibly activating the loops when that day comes, and teleporting all the people shrouded in them to Lotus City.
It's always easy to plan, but there are a lot of difficulties in implementing it, first, the underground loops are too large to modify them, even if it's just to add a one-time access function, and second, it's not easy to modify multiple teleportation loops and expand the scope without the outside world being completely ignorant.
The slightest exposure of one place will alert others to look elsewhere at the circuit.
They hadn't thought of a similar solution before, but they chose to give up because it involved the underground circuit, and now the "Lord" has ordered that no matter what method is used, they dare to hit the idea on the underground circuit.
"But does this require the Lord?"
"The Lord seems to be busy with something, so let's not disturb Him."
They all felt a certain breath of mountain rain coming from his several comings, and they also vaguely sensed that he seemed to be extremely busy, and as intimate subordinates, they naturally couldn't ask more about everything.
"There's not much time, you go and solve the teleportation loop outside, and I'll add the connection loop."
[Arrogant] naturally gave the order, and several people looked slightly dissatisfied, but these days, they have become a little accustomed to the collective of the archbishop led by the faint [arrogance], and now the time is urgent, and staying here to increase the connection circuit is undoubtedly a troublesome job, [Arrogant] voluntarily took it, and they don't want to talk too much.
Xu Zhi was assigned to several cities that were easier to expose because of her [lazy] ability, which was enough for her to better cover her whereabouts, and she tasted the taste of being a thief for the first time, and every time she had to quietly take advantage of the dead of night to repair and modify on the teleportation circuit of someone else's house, and she had to use her extraordinary ability to cover up the ability to modify.
At this time, "laziness" comes into play, whether it is a machine or a human, when they see this modified circuit, they will subconsciously ignore the abnormalities and changes in it, and do not think deeply.
Thanks to the extraordinary affinity that is stronger than the ordinary archbishop and the talent on the circuit, Xu Zhi completed his task early, but he didn't intervene to help anyone, after all, this world has lost the surrogate, and the archbishop is already the most powerful type of person among the named, their traces are not deliberately exposed, and they don't go to places like Luzhou, and it is really difficult to be discovered.
And these archbishops also have their own powers, and they fulfill their missions in their own way.
After completing the task, Xu Zhi even hid his figure quite leisurely, and secretly went to see how the transcendents communicated with the "gods".
To her disappointment, they were just ordinary portrayal circuits, and then sacrifices were made and hymns in praise of the gods were sung, and it didn't seem to make any difference except that the sacrifice was not blood food.
And Xu Zhi was also detected at the moment when the circuit of communication with the gods lit up, fortunately, she ran very fast, and the circuit didn't seem to be very strong, not enough for the gods to exert too much, but even with many restrictions, the blood in her body was surging at that moment, as if she had been hit hard, and the body as an archbishop didn't even see how the other party made a move.
Come to think of it, if the gods really came to the world, the archbishop and his ilk would be nothing more than ants who could be crushed to death with a raised hand.
Under the gods, they are all ants.
Fortunately, she has completed her own task, and even has more than enough time, and the rest is to wait for the arrival of the tenth day.
Midnight.
Ten days was obviously not enough for her to comprehend all the midnight rules, but it was enough for her to experiment with the little xenomorph first on how to cut off the connection with the Cup.
Coincidentally, at this point, the midnight rule also helps, but more often than not, it comes from the wooden rules.
She had already noticed that the operation of the wooden card was somewhat similar to the connection between the cup and the believers, and she had a deeper understanding of it after comprehending the rules of the wooden card, so she had been trying to remove traces of him and the examiner from the little xeno's body for the past few days through the [Secret Pupil], [Authority], and the rules she had comprehended.
The traces of the examiner were eliminated quite smoothly, which further verified that the examiner was actually cast by the [rules], and the traces left in the body of the little xenomorph were traces of the rules, and it was no wonder that she couldn't eliminate them anyway, so she could only cover them up.
The trouble is that the part of the little xenomorph's body that belongs to him, although this part does not dominate, it is quietly hidden in the depths of the little xenomorph's extraordinary ability, like a shadow, difficult to get rid of.
In the end, it was Xu Zhi who stumbled upon the fact that she could first use the rules to warp out a gap in the aura that belonged to him attached to the little alien, and then borrow the [Authority] and the flame of the little orange to scorch those separated breaths and completely burn them out, so that these influences could be removed, leaving only the most accurate, original [Cup] attribute energy.
The process is a bit cumbersome, and it requires a lot of patience, which is also because Xu Zhi has not comprehended enough rules now, and it is not complete enough, if she has already comprehended all the midnight rules, she doesn't need to use such a troublesome method, but it is a useful method anyway.
On the eighth day, she finally completely cleared the little xenomorph of some of his aura, and at this moment, the spirit body suddenly sensed that a "colleague" had disappeared.
This was expected by Xu Zhi, after all, the archbishop was given by him, and completely getting rid of her influence also meant that he would no longer accept his gifts, and the title of archbishop would naturally fade.
But the power was preserved, and that was enough.
And she was able to do this on the little xenomorph because the little xenomorph was by her side, and the spirit body was far away in Lotus City at the moment, and she couldn't help her get rid of his influence in the air, but she only needed to remove the [spirit body] at the moment when she sensed that something was wrong.
All the abilities carried by the spirit body, as well as the contents of her body, will return to her original body.
She only needs to prepare for the impact she receives at the moment of the return of her spirit body, maintain a stable consciousness and not be assimilated, and then slowly smelt her [cup] attribute circuit to remove his influence.
Soon, the tenth day came.
The injury of the spirit body has already healed, and the archbishop's recovery ability is too strong, not to mention that she is still in Liancheng, a place where the [cup] attribute extraordinary energy machine is extremely strong.
Xu Zhi hadn't visited Qi Yanxin in the past few days, and she had a very subtle feeling in her heart, which made her a little awkward, and she didn't want to see Qi Yanxin.
In the past few days, her eyes often fall on a young man, his current position seems to be guarding this area, Xu Zhi will look at him, naturally it can only be that this person makes her feel suspicious, as an archbishop, she may have killed the boy directly when she felt that it was not right, but Xu Zhi did not do so.
She even deliberately indulged the young man with some strange traces, if nothing else, Xu Zhi just wanted to see what he wanted to do and what he could do.
So, when this day came, Xu Zhi saw what he had done.
On this day, the omen was very obvious, the sky of Lotus City had been extremely dark since the morning, and the fog was surging more harsh than before, and even those believers who did not know what was going to happen today noticed that something was wrong.
At noon, the abnormality became even more obvious, the light of the sun shining into Lotus City was actually scarlet, this scene made Xu Zhi think of the day when the Federation ended for no reason, and it was the same, the red light shone on the earth, and the breath of death rose from the ground.
It's just that now only Lotus City is abnormal, but just Lotus City is not small, and when the surging mist is dyed red by the blood-colored sunlight, a voice suddenly appeared in the minds of all believers.
[It's time.] 】
Now is the time for sacrifice.
The archbishops opened the receiving circuits, and they seemed to hear the screams of surprise from the extraordinaries in the outside world, and the teleportation circuits were activated in unison at this moment, and their movements were not detected by the cover-up.
"-No!"
Someone exclaimed, but it was not the transcendental, but arrogant.
"Who did it!"
"Who!"
He almost blushed, the veins on his neck rose up, and his eyes were tearing as he watched as a gap appeared in the connecting circuit that should have been circulating!
That's impossible!
No transcendent can sneak here, who destroyed the corner of the induction circuit?!
Xu Zhi immediately thought of the young man.
Of course, the transcendent can't get in, but what if it's your own people who do it?
Almost instantly, the figure of [Arrogance] turned into blood-colored foam, and then, the bubbles poured into the missing corner of the receiving circuit, the circuit was completed, and the teleportation continued.
The other archbishops were stunned for a moment, for they all realized that it was the Lord who had killed the unfavorable Arrogance, and had used him to fill in the missing part of the receiving circuit.
But is that all there is to it?
Teleporting back will teleport the transcendents with suspicious faces, wary and terrified faces, and then, in almost a moment, they will be transformed into blood to feed this vast circuit.
Blood continued to drip in the cracks of the dirt from above, and it seemed that a blood rain had fallen in this huge and empty basement, but Xu Zhi knew that it was the believers of Lotus City who were melting, decomposing, and turning into blood and water flowing here.
Xu Zhi looked down at the circuit that was constantly devouring flesh and blood and transcendents like a gluttonous man, what kind of sacrifice required so much flesh and blood and living beings?
What is this loop connected to?
She looked up a little uneasily, but she couldn't see through the mud-covered basement roof.
She can't see the people she wants to see.
Thank you to the alliance leader of the kono black eggplant!
Recently, the plot has come to the front of the key node, so when I write, I will consider some lines to be written later, and think about what I haven't rolled out, so I write a little slower
