41. The title of the king is missing
"Would you like to leave now, and go back to the world you used to live in?"
Gatis hesitated for a moment, then finally gave Aisha a question: "Hmm...... My daughter, will I have time to keep her waiting?"
"In principle, it's not too much of a problem for you to let her ascend for a hundred or two years...... What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
"Ah, I guess there is. Gatiss's face couldn't help but show a look of distress, "For the time being, I can't leave here - if it's a few decades in the morning, maybe I'll be able to leave with a hard time, but now, it's a little difficult." If I just leave, something bad will happen......"
"What did you do?"
"I've buried a little bit of a by-product of the war underneath this church, and it's now quite a nuisance. Speaking of which, this is still my mistake at the beginning, and if I just leave it alone, I can't get over it on my conscience......"
Aisha also remembered, according to Lilier, it seems that this succubus has a rather obsessive-compulsive disorder. At least, after she usurped the throne of the Southern Kingdom, she managed the originally stormy country in an orderly manner, but she didn't put much effort into it. It stands to reason that she didn't have to, and Gatis wasn't much of a warm-hearted person, but in the end, she was obsessive-compulsive.
It seems that once Gatis decides to do something, she demands that she be as perfect as possible, and if she wants to play a role, she will also make her role perfect.
People with this complex. I'm afraid it's really annoying to do things halfway, right?
"What exactly do you mean by 'trouble'?"
"It's all said, it's a by-product of the war years...... Naw. As you know, no matter what new science and technology it is, it is always easy to consider military and war applications, let alone wartime. Gatis sighed slightly, remembering some of what she had seen at the beginning, and it was difficult for her to be cheerful, "Something." It was applied to the battlefield without going through rigorous testing, and the adverse effects caused were far more severe than imagined...... Have you noticed the exterior of this church? Actually. In the past, people have always said they would be willing to pay for it to be repaired, but I refused - because it didn't work. Even if it is renovated today, it will not be long before it will be 'corroded' to the way it is now, which will inevitably cause unnecessary speculation from others. So, well. I can only refuse their kindness. The church is barely in this state. ”
Lynn couldn't help but look up at the dome of the church, even inside the church, she could still see the sunlight shining from above, which showed that the church was indeed quite dilapidated.
From Gatiss's words, it seems that it is not just a disrepair?
"Wet sauce, do you feel anything unusual?"
Aisha shook her head too—seriously, if it hadn't been for Gatiss, she wouldn't have found out. The ruin of this church is not as simple as it seems. Although I don't know what the specific situation is, it is considered an "anomaly". Not being able to perceive anything special is a pretty scary thing in its own right.
"What exactly are you talking about?"
"During the war, there was a short-lived type of military that could be said to expose the bad side of humanity quite comprehensively...... Well, it's to stir the body of a living person into a pulp, pour it into a special mold, and condense it into a human shape by means similar to black magic, and it is difficult to see the difference between this kind of bad weapon and ordinary people from the appearance, but they all have a certain amount of superpowers, which can be regarded as man-made superpower weapons, right?"
Listening to Gattisse's description, a chill rose in the back of Lynn's head.
Crush the flesh and blood of a living person into mud, and then make a shape like a clay man? Even Rin, who has seen many dark mages who use evil magic, is frightened by this way of hunting. It's hard to understand the point of doing this!
“...... How did you come up with this terrible way? What kind of ability fragment can give such a bad ability?"
In the final analysis, the fragments that circulated in this world were essentially the body of the Holy Spirit, at least, Aisha would never have believed that this evil-sounding method was done with the help of the Holy Spirit. Even if the "evil god" is contaminated with the aura of darkness, it will never become like this!
"It is said that ......," Gatis said, after glancing at Aisha and Lynn to make sure they didn't feel like vomiting, continued, "It was the Nazis back then who tortured ten powerful people to the point of dying in a rather brutal way, and then compressed their bodies to a square the size of a palm...... The cubes that filled them with despair and hatred possessed the power of extreme evil......"
"Don't say it, let me breathe a sigh and ...... first" Lin stroked her chest, gasping for air, her stomach churning. She probably understood what was going on - this extreme physical compression was able to completely seal and imprison the souls and resentments of those who had died tragically in that small mixture of flesh and blood, enough to distort their own abilities along with their souls.
"That thing...... Do you still have zài?"
"Whereabouts unknown. What is certain, though, is that it has definitely not been destroyed. The remains of the 'weapons' that were made from this block still carry a rather vicious curse, and they have not yet dissipated. It will take about 150 years for these things to completely lose their toxicity. ”
One hundred and fifty years...... Is that thing more exaggerated than nuclear radiation?
"Is that the root cause of your reluctance to leave?" Aisha asked tentatively, receiving an affirmative reply from Gatiss.
"Well, I'm very vindictive, it caused me a lot of trouble back then, and it left a lot of people with scars that can't be erased - if you don't look at that culprit and completely ruin Miè, seriously. It's hard to sleep. ”
In the words, it is not difficult to hear Gattis's anger.
Even if she has amnesia, she's still a pretty cautious woman, right? Gatis was completely "concerned" about the other party...... Trying to erase something once and for all, maybe for the first time in her history, right?
"Can you show us?"
Gatis hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"No problem, but be careful. Gatis thought for a moment. He added, "Those things, they're poisonous." ”
......
"I didn't expect that. It's so big under this church?"
After following Gatiss's footsteps for a long time, Lynn was also amazed by the structure under the church—it was quite impressive, and if she was not wrong, they were now above the ground. I'm afraid it's almost a hundred meters, right? It's no wonder she and Aisha didn't notice anything unusual. Because Gatis is on this, a layer of protection is applied every four meters, and there are nearly thirty layers of protection, which can be said to be impermeable.
Then again, could it be that Gatis dug and built it herself?
"Well, when you're bored, you really need something to pass the time. Gatis turned her head a little awkwardly in response to Lynn's question. "It was fine at first, but then it went with the times. When the town began to erect various plumbing facilities, I took a lot of effort to avoid the intricate network of pipes. ”
"Is it necessary to bury it so deep?"
"At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, I just buried it and blessed a few layers of seals. However, over time, their poison can seep through seals and dirt to the surface, and if I hadn't discovered it in time, it would have been a catastrophe at the time. ”
Gatis thought about what happened back then, and a wave of chagrin couldn't help but appear on her face.
"Although it was discovered in time and remedied, it was at a cost...... The appearance of this church today is proof of this. ”
If she had been cautious, Gatis wouldn't have needed to live in such a dilapidated church that couldn't keep the wind or rain out.
"Here we are, and here are the man-made weapons that I sealed and kept. Note that although I have done a good job of protective measures, I am not afraid of 10,000 in case of ...... Well, be careful. ”
Seeing Gatiss's repeated emphasis again and again, Lin didn't dare to be careless, and held Aisha's hand a little nervously.
When they entered the final bottom layer, Lin couldn't help but be invaded by the cold air on her face, and subconsciously shivered, trying to find something warm to rely on. The sudden change in temperature has completely dropped below zero, and Lin's clothes are still quite cool, if she doesn't have extraordinary strength, entering this "ice storage" with this dress will definitely cause very severe damage to the body.
Lin decisively hugged Aisha's body, her legs pressed tightly to Aisha, almost completely unwilling to move. However, it doesn't matter if she doesn't move, because the things in it are already clearly presented in front of her.
Countless humanoids, frozen in ice, freeze their time at the very last moment before they die.
"If you don't do this, the strong stench of corpses is enough to spread from this more than 100 meters deep underground to the surface. Moreover, low temperature can also effectively reduce or even suspend their activity, preventing the spread of their virulent poison. ”
"Can you elaborate on the ferocious poison you are talking about?"
"It can make the human body corrode and dissolve, and the building decays and weathers, and if it is contaminated, there is basically no room for recovery - I don't quite understand the principle of this, but I have tried to repair the church, but it has not worked. ”
Aisha carefully probed the remains of the ice, and as soon as her mind penetrated it, she was dizzy from the extremely strong stench, but she endured the nausea and continued to search for the information she needed.
"The 'poison' they carry is not so much a toxin as it is to a corrosive substance like a strong acid. It is strange that the form of destruction of matter, which is supposed to be purely physical corrosion, still seems to have a quality that cannot be dissipated?"
To use an analogy, it's like a thing, taking into account both liquid and solid forms.
"Can't it be dissipated?"
Lin frowned, and suddenly something came to mind: "Wet sauce." Can you let me try it?"
"Yes, if it's Lynn for you, for this kind of thing. Should feel more acute, right?"
Aisha also thought that Lin's specialty was soul and spirit, although her personality made it difficult for Lin to become a master of manipulating souls, but when it came to death and revenant, even Aisha had to admit that her perception was not as sharp as Lin's.
"Be careful!" saw that Lin was about to touch the cold ice with her hand. Gatis hurriedly reminded. She wasn't worried that Lin would get frostbite from the cold ice, but she just sealed the remains of the "weapon" in Zài, even through the ice. It still has a good toxicity, but it is restrained by low temperature. If you touch the temperature of the human body, you may be able to reactivate it.
Gatiss had seen a victim entangled in such a ferocity that he had turned into a white skeleton in half a minute.
"There's no need to worry. Lynn was actually quite a reliable kid. It won't mess around. ”
"Uh, Wet Sauce, do you mean that my appearance looks unreliable?"
"Age is hard to hurt~"
This is indeed a problem of Lin's heart - she can't grow tall! Thanks to this Lori's face, she still has to live a life of looking up at people. And the young appearance does give people a feeling that they are not very reliable...... After all, Lynn's nature is very playful, and she doesn't like to pretend to be deep, and people who don't know or know Lin's details will basically look down on her more or less. It's like Gatis now.
Lin attached a layer of magic to her palm, which was used to protect her palm from being burned by the low temperature. Then it gently pressed against a piece of ice.
Hiss -
Where Lynn's palm touched the ice, a piercing sound immediately rose. It's like the hiss of boiling water, and at such times, it sounds very hideous.
It was as if something was corroding Lynn's flesh.
Lynn's expression also became solemn - she could feel that there seemed to be countless tiny ants trying to gnaw at her palms, but because they couldn't break through the magic that Lin used for protection, they were pressed against the surface of the ice, constantly rubbing the ice, and a burst of water vapor rose.
It is unimaginable that under the constraints of cold ice, the wreckage of these terrible "man-made weapons" can still ooze such a terrible poison. Lin suppressed the poison that was trying to break free back into the ice again, and explored her spiritual power even deeper.
"Ugh!"
Lynn's body shuddered and let out a muffled snort—she was really disgusted. As Gatis said earlier, these "weapons" with a humanoid appearance are so unbearable on the inside under the disguise of the surface...... Not to mention bones, there is not even an orderly body level, it is completely a messy mass of flesh and blood. Lynn was even able to find hair, nails, and brains in the mass of flesh......
“......”
The corners of Lin's mouth twitched uncontrollably, so disgusting, such a bad cunzài, it was the first time she had encountered it. She now very much wanted to go straight back to the era that Gatis had said, and completely destroy the people and organizations that dared to do such a thing—that kind of guy should never have stayed in this world and breathed even a minute more!
"These fierce poisons have been tightly practiced with the resentment of the victims...... Although the damage caused is physical in nature, what sustains these 'poisons' is the resentment of the victims of the tragic death—the fear they felt before they died, the despair they experienced, the hatred they generated, all mixed together, blended with each other, and stored in this temporary body. ”
Holding back the churning vomiting sensation in her stomach, when Lynn finished her exploration, a layer of frost formed on the back of her clothes, which was soaked with sweat and frozen by the low temperature.
"It's been all these years, and it still hasn't dissipated?"
Hearing Gatiss's question, Lin could only express her helplessness - for Gatiss, who lived in another world, even though she had lost her memory, her values still habitually followed her body's experience. In another world, it can be said that there are cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and there is never a shortage of poor people who have died tragically and unjustly...... After all, there are so many dark mages, necromancers, and all sorts of evil spells out there.
But there are very few cases where the soul remains for decades after death.
The problem is, this world. A lot of things are very different in the details. Anyway, in the legends here, the resentment of the unjustly killed often appears to be left for two or three hundred years...... Lynn's childhood was also raised in a similar world, and this is still very clear.
caused this phenomenon. Perhaps, the standards that can only be classified into the world are different from each other, right?
Well, it must be a problem with the system!
"It's difficult, the resentment of the dead itself has a certain amount of supernatural power, which is nothing in the other world, but here, it is a force that is difficult for ordinary people to resist. And. The most troublesome part is not here - the trouble is that the souls of the corresponding dead are not in these bodies at all. ”
Gatis was stunned. Then he reacted.
"By the way, these 'weapons' are the large-scale slaughter of many innocent victims at one time, mixing their flesh and blood together. Pour it into a mold in batches to make zuò. Let's put it this way. Not only the flesh and blood, but also the soul have been torn apart and mixed together, can't they tell the difference?"
"Not only that, but only their resentment and hatred remain here, and most importantly, the main memory that can evoke the conscience of the ghost and human nature is not here. If I'm not mistaken. Those things are probably still bound in the evil cube you are talking about. If you can't break the block. Free the souls of the dead, and their bad effects will continue forever. ”
Speaking of this, Lin could only sigh to herself - what a vicious thing.
I am afraid that from the very beginning, the purpose of those who came up with such demonic ideas was only those terrible resentments, and they extracted a large amount of fear and resentment from the dead at once, stripped them of their own souls and memories, and used them as the purest weapons of poison...... This is placed on ordinary soldiers, no matter how well-equipped they are, with the level of science and technology at that time, it is guaranteed that even the people and equipment will be scrapped.
Lin is very clear that it is absolutely impossible for a "weapon" made in this way not to "self-detonate". According to this strong sense of disgust that Gatis expressed, I am afraid that she experienced this kind of scene at that time...... What the consequences were, Lynn didn't really want to guess.
"In the end, do you still want to destroy that thing before it stops?"
For such an answer, Gatis felt a little helpless. If that evil prop was really so easy to find and so easy to destroy, then she wouldn't need to stay here until now.
At the beginning, it was very unfortunate that the town where Gatis was located was chosen by the Nazis as a test site for "new weapons", anyway, it was in the French occupation zone, and it was very easy to cover up the past, wasn't it?
You must know that in that era when various countries have not yet paid more attention to capable people, and the level of technology is limited, in the face of such lethal and vicious humanoid weapons, even artillery fire cannot stop them. The shattered body turned into bloody mud is enough to turn an area into purgatory.
However, they found such a remote town, and Gatis, who was furious, directly wiped out this batch of precious real yàn bodies. It seems that this rash action caused a big psychological shadow on the Nazis, and for a long time this plan was put on hold...... Until the end of the war, it was not restarted.
After all, the emergence of a nun in an abandoned church who has a fighting spirit and sweeps away the evil that desecrates life and the gods is like a very targeted punishment from heaven, and it can also give people the illusion that there are many hermits outside the world...... Anyway, the Nazis in Germany had a fear of churches and other places for quite some time.
It also took a lot of effort for Gatis to set out the follow-up information. However, with the end of the war, the Nazi war criminals deserved to die, those who should be caught, and the rest were on the run...... God knows how many "underground workers" there are unknown. Being able to concoct such a dirty weapon in that era is enough to prove that the Führer has a lot of capable people, and he is much ahead of other countries in the research progress of superpowers. On this premise, Gatisse believed that the culprit of these bad effects must still be in the custody of the remnants of the Nazis.
"Well, if you don't mind, I have a solution that might help you find what you're looking for. ”
"What's the solution?"
Hearing that Aisha seemed to have an idea, Gatis immediately lifted her spirits.
"Lynn and I met a little guy in this world, and we're doing well now. With the help of her current intelligence network, she may be able to find the information you need. ”
"Even those Nazis can be found?"
"I can't guarantee anything else, but if it's all kinds of supernatural things, I think maybe the consultation there will be more efficient than the agencies of many countries, right?"
Su Qiaoqiao?
Lin was a little surprised, Aisha actually planned to introduce Su Qiaoqiao to Gatiss, but after thinking about it, with Su Qiaoqiao's current situation, it seems that she really needs to find a strong and powerful help? And Gatis's words, although Lin doesn't know very well, but she has more or less heard Aisha and Lilier mention a little bit, it doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp.
If OCD doesn't attack, you can see that you are a person with a very black heart.
"I'll think about it. ”
......
"Wet sauce, why can we meet people from our world in this world?"
After leaving the church and saying goodbye to Gatiss, who was reluctant to leave, Lin finally asked Aisha her questions. The appearance of the other party here is a very suspicious problem in itself, although there is a universal saying of amnesia, but Lin still feels an inexplicable sense of conspiracy.
"I'd worry if it were anyone else...... But if it's a succubus, I don't think there's anything to worry about. ”
This is also true - the boss of the succubi is his concubine, and it is estimated that there are few people like Aisha, who have absolute trust in the succubus, a race with a not very good reputation.
If anyone really wants to use the "point" of Gatis to achieve some small means, it is impossible to bypass Easter's eyes. Don't forget, Gatis was chosen to be sent to the present world, how could Esther not pay attention to this junior who had high hopes for him?
At that time, when there was a sudden change in the sky above the imperial capital, Easter, who sensed that something was wrong, took Gatiss, who was of the same clan, with her—no matter what, she could not let her juniors stay in a dangerous place, even if there was no danger for the time being. But she didn't think about what happened after that...... Xiao Wei found Easter, bluntly invited her to go with him to cut people, and dragged away this reliable help without saying anything.
Is Aisha important, or is it important to her juniors?Anyway, East chose the former in the end...... The problem is, who cares so much when fighting with that kind of enemy of Cheng Dù? In short, in the middle of the battle, even if Esther has taken great care to protect Gatiss, he still makes Gatis "fall" when he appears in this world.
The fall across space and the failure to make Gatiss' head bloom were all luck.
I have to say that Aisha's brain replenishment ability is still good, she has a very thorough understanding of East's mentality, and she has basically touched the situation at that time...... Well, it's not a bad thing anyway, since Gatis doesn't plan to leave this world for the time being, it's up to her. Perhaps, after going through some things, her relationship with Lilier can ease up in the future...... Well, probably. (To be continued......)
