Chapter 129: Cooperation
"Is she alright, Savior?"
"I've been unconscious for three days now. According to the examination of the hospital, the body is fine. β
"Really......"
The priest nodded slightly.
"That means the situation isn't at its worst."
When Xie Yuzhi heard this, her brows suddenly furrowed.
What does that mean? In other words, is it possible that her current condition will deteriorate? β
The priest watched them in silence before answering after a while, the emotion in the man's gaze unsettling.
"Yes, according to our calculations, once the power of the Divine Pillar enters the awakening process, it will have a serious negative impact on the host, and the impact will continue to intensify, first at the spiritual level, the host's consciousness will be dragged into another dimension, and then the influence from the other world will gradually spread to the physical ......"
The priest was halfway through his speech, and then he changed his mind again.
Of course, this is just speculation, and this result may not be accurate, and is only for reference. We still have to take the current situation as it stands, please don't ...... Too worried. β
It's just that compared to the heaviness of the first half, the "comfort" in the second half pales in comparison.
Yan Jingxing and Xie Yuzhi glanced at each other and saw the deep worry in each other's eyes, but before his heart sank to the bottom, the eldest lady took the lead in speaking:
"We are here to save her, anyway, we are all problems to face and solve, no matter how serious the situation is, we are psychologically prepared."
The uneasy shadow only appeared on her body for a short while, Xie Yuzhi quickly regained her composure, and still had the strength to comfort him in turn.
Yan Jingxing has always been very envious and respectful of Miss Xie's unwavering and strong trait at all times, and he sometimes can't help but think: If he is the only one, facing the dilemma of an important person unconscious, he will definitely be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time.
"Okay."
The priest nodded appreciatively.
"Then I will be blunt, the power that has brought the Savior into a coma at present is the work of the Divine Pillar; The key to its source gate has been in the Savior's body from the moment her parents disappeared as a child. And now, the time has come to change all the history of mankind, and the power from the other side of the door has begun to penetrate the world here, and the first to be affected is none other than the Savior himself......"
Yan Jingxing chewed on his words, trying to digest the amount of information in them. Then he said in a deep voice:
"So, just knock down that so-called 'divine pillar'? If the Divine Pillar is not there, will she be able to restore the original state? Where exactly is it? β
"Hmmm......"
The priest's eyes became serious, and he stroked his chin.
"It is not so easy to destroy the Pillar, and to date, there is no record in the history of either world how to make it collapse with human power. The Pillar will go from existence to non-existence as civilizations rise and fall, until they disappear from the record...... But with each new era, it reappears to give strength to the chosen ones. β
Yan Jingxing listened to him tell the story about the 'Divine Pillar', and at the same time heard Xie Yuzhi whispering beside him:
"Do you remember the mural we saw?"
β¦β¦ That's right.
Yan Jingxing recalled what he saw in the palace at that time.
The first few murals are about a group of people who got something from a pillar and relied on it to become a general or a king, a great man in a certain civilization;
In the last fresco, the pillar collapses on its own, followed by a frenzied scene that seems to have destroyed the world, and it can be believed that the pillar was annihilated along with the decline of a civilization, and it is this ancient history recorded in the palace - for the Arfa who built the palace, it belongs to the distant past.
Of course, judging from the fact that the palace has no trace of life and is close to collapse and abandoned, they themselves have also become history.
In short, the priest's statement is still in line with what they knew.
"Yes...... Is it some kind of 'reincarnation'? β
Miss Xie's conclusion after pondering obviously surprised the priest, and he shook his head after a moment's pause.
"I don't know, maybe...... No, it's not important, the important thing is that the Divine Pillar represents the ultimate secret of life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy, even if it disappears for a while, it will still come back at some point in the future. There is no point in doing anything to it, and it will not save anyone in the moment. We have a better way to help the Savior master the power of the Pillar, and that's what we're here for, and most importantlyβ"
The priest explained a lot in one breath.
"At present, the body of the Divine Pillar should still be in the other world, and it has not yet descended into reality."
"Otherworldly...... You mean alien planets, right? β
Yan Jingxing said.
"There's no difference between the two." The man replied, "It's too far for humans to reach, hiding great secrets related to civilization, but only touching another world with scales and feathers......"
"The question of this title is not important. Tell me, what exactly are you going to do? β
"We urgently need to see the Savior now before we can make our next moves." The priest replied in a deep voice, "Help her wake up from her dreams." β
"I'd like to hear more specific answers."
"Ritual. Through some kind of ritual, we can remind the Savior of her current situation, but it is impossible to directly interfere with her consciousness from the outside world, so it is a matter of whether we can truly get rid of the influence of the Pillar...... The key to this is still her own willpower. β
"Wait, so we can't help her? This, what kind of method is this! β
"As a friend of the Savior, a warrior who guards her, you ought to know her character better than we do, do you think she can't come to her senses on her own? With a pure heart and a will filled with hope, the Savior will surely come to her senses to save herself and all the people of the world. β
Yan Jingxing was choked.
"Of course I believe her! But the problem is not here, the problem is that we ......"
"Only the host of the Divine Pillar can communicate with the will of the Divine Pillar, and it is possible to control the power of the 'God'. And we are not without nothing to do in the process, and we may not face any easier difficulties than the Savior Himself, whose task is to protect her and protect her flesh until she attains victory at the level of will. β
The priest said, beckoning behind him, and the young men in white robes began to organize the items at hand, seemingly preparing to leave here, and their movements were as tacit as ever.
"While the Savior tames his power, we will be greeted by the instinctive revenge of the Pillar, whose primitive, chaotic impulses will awaken the real monsters, as well as all kinds of natural disasters that will strike like a storm, and may even cause its essence to descend early."
"Although we have prepared in advance, the forces that can be mobilized are still limited, and what you can see at the moment is all the people we can carry out this mission. Yes, I know, our accumulation is too scarce and weak......"
Yan Jingxing didn't think so.
In fact, with the strength of the dressed men, the regular army is no match for them.
Of the thermal weapons that have appeared so far for use in warfare, only missiles can keep up with them while destroying the body's defenses; And to want such a small and so swift goal, it needs to be recklessly used in large quantities to be able to cover; If you want to strike at a point, you may need full-fledged hypersonic weapons, which are simply not possible with conventional military forces on Earth.
The only ones who can fight it in a system are probably warriors who are also made using alien living mechanical technology, and they are not used to fight humans at all, but to defeat the weapons of the overlord.
They just met the prototype.
"But with you, a powerful warrior, everything will be different......"
"Well, I've heard enough. Anyway, I agreed. β
Yan Jingxing said.
"Jing Xing has agreed, then his opinion is my opinion."
Xie Yuzhi added on the side.
"But before the official start of the cooperation, I still have something to say, so as not to have conflicts over unnecessary things later."
Her tone suddenly became cold.
"Do you know that we have been unkind to you from the very beginning, what is the reason?"
ββ¦β¦β
"You should be able to consider calling a group of children who are about the same age as us by code names, and giving them a bad impression if they wear clothes that look like lab coats, right?"
Yan Jingxing didn't speak, but while listening to Miss Xie's questioning, he crossed his arms and observed their expressions beside him.
He and Xie Yuzhi naturally considered the origin of this group of people, and judging from their performance, it was really not optimistic, and even made people suspect that they were a vicious group that experimented on minors.
It is for this reason that Miss Yone-sa is asked to determine if they are a criminal organization. If it is a bad guy with no bottom line, they will never cooperate. Adults may learn to compromise and learn to play with the tiger, but for children at this age, black and white are still distinct, and they have the ability to assert their principles.
And then there was the woman who called herself a prophet. You say that the high intellectuals have something to do with her, and we've seen somebody's diary, and the prophet in the diary doesn't look like a good thing. β
Not only did he organize a group of people to send it to another world, but he also used the power of demagogy to complete his ambitions, and he was a bad guy.
"No, no......"
The other children still looked dazed, and Number 9 was the only one who understood the meaning of the words, and she stood up to refute it, but was stopped by the priest raising his hand.
"I see."
The priest replied in a deep voice.
"The two of you did misunderstand. They...... It's a group of poor children who have had a miserable situation. As you might have guessed, there have been experiences of being guinea pigs in the lab, victims of human experiments. We rescued them, but the vast majority were left homeless. Plusβ"
The priest gestured to the children beside him.
"Most of their brothers and sisters died of stunting or died on the road, and those who survived were recorded as 'successful experiments'. So until the end, only they can become warriors. β
"As for the Prophets......"
He sighed.
"We don't know what she's trying to do. This grown-up has a great relationship with the Highly Intellectualist community, and we wouldn't have gotten this far without her, but the Prophet is certainly not from our organization, and has been missing for a long time. β
After a period of silence, Xie Yuzhi nodded slightly, her face still lacked expression change, but her tone was no longer aggressive.
"So be it."
"Great, thank you both for your willingness to understand. Let's go now, let's go together? β
The priest smiled, a smile of relief for the first time, and wrinkles unfurled like the lines of solidified rock.
"Together." Yan Jingxing said.
"Together." Children in white robes stood beside them.
