Chapter 281 Star Dome Train
Chapter 281 Star Dome Train
"The organization of Hallownest is really full of lunatics. They have grand goals and great ideals, but they just have no humanity."
"In comparison, even the Blood Temple, which loves killing and war, makes people feel warmer."
What prompted Li Yu to utter these two exclamations was a short piece of secret revealed by Zuo Ci.
The search method that Holy Nest just used is called "Psychic Ghost". The number of those strange ghosts is huge, and the way they were created is extremely cruel.
First, use the method of pain screening to select a large number of people who can endure abnormal pain. Then scan these people's souls bit by bit. After that, all excess flesh and blood are removed, leaving only the most primitive nervous system and transforming it into an energy state, in order to maintain control over the soul for a long time.
At the same time, it also allows these “ghosts” to feel pain, which is always fresh and will not dissipate.
As for the price?
It's all borne by these poor people.
And Hallownest has an army of ghosts.
The most brutal way of using it is to find someone by sniffing out their soul factor.
When Zuo Cikui mentioned them, he was full of fear:
"These psychic ghosts are almost immortal. The most common individuals have the power equivalent to that of a sequence seven level. Some high-level individuals are even more terrifying."
"This ghost army alone is enough for Hallownest to gain a foothold in the City of All Happiness."
"And this is not enough to express how profound the heritage of Hallownest is."
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be some more tricks to be used later... But it doesn't matter, as long as you persist for a period of time, the power of the Red Dust Book will become more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Holy Nest will naturally give up."
……
As a high-ranking genius in the City Lord's Mansion, Zuo Cikui's information and predictions are indeed extremely accurate.
In the next few days, Holy Nest still refused to give up and did not believe it.
Various means are used one after another.
Every time, it happens with great fanfare and causes a lot of commotion.
And Zuo Ci would give explanations every time.
At first, Li Yu thought that the leader of the drama group wanted to show off the background of the City Lord's Mansion, but from the second chapter, he vaguely sensed his true purpose.
Only when explaining did he have an excuse to bring down his will.
Every time he descends, he gains more "control" over Li Yu, the chess piece puppet.
This guy was trying to refine Li Yu slowly and covertly.
Li Yu knew this very well and laughed to himself.
Zuo Ci's methods were sinister, shameless, and powerful. If it were any other Sequence Five, there would be almost no chance of escape.
It happened to be him, Li Yu.
The path to spiritual master!
The soul of truth!
His perception is so sharp, even without activating the Bubble of Truth.
Zuo Ci boldly let his will descend from the air, and after three or four times, some of his "secrets" were discovered by Li Yu.
For example, in the sequence of ancient and modern puppets, the fundamental trick to controlling those puppets lies in the practitioner's pollution of the target's body and soul.
Not to mention his soul, even the evil gods cannot pollute him.
He couldn't chew the body either.
In fact, when his will came for the second time, Li Yu received a remote prompt from Yi Ge, the daughter of the God of Whirlpool.
This daughter of the evil god, who possessed terrifying charm and a terrifying body, sent out some voices full of vigilance and dissatisfaction from the distant sky.
It was as if her forbidden love had been touched by someone.
That’s right, it’s Li Yu.
Yi Ge had previously shared the divinity of the God of Vortex with Li Yu, and the two were in a sense a combination.
No one knows how Li Yu himself understood it, but Yi Ge’s feelings towards Li Yu were quite complicated.
One thing is certain, and that is the possessiveness of his body.
With this layer of "insurance" in place, even if Li Yu did nothing, as long as Zuo Cikui really crossed the cordon, what would be waiting for him would be the wrath of a direct descendant of an evil god.
So, Li Yu really did nothing.
He pretended to be ignorant and listened to Zuo Cikui's detailed explanation, asking a few questions from time to time to get more secrets in order to charge the twenty-third bubble of truth.
The effect is excellent.
"It is rumored that someone has unearthed a ruin full of books in the border area. Because there is a stone tablet engraved with a snake mark and filled with ever-changing divinity in the ruins, as well as those demons that keep screaming and can change infinitely, it is highly suspected that this is a library left behind by the 'Omniscient Snake God', the powerful incarnation of the Lord of Everlasting Change in ancient times... As long as you enter it, you will obtain the inheritance left by the Lord of Everlasting Change."
"Brother Li Yu, don't be fooled. That is a bait deliberately forged by Holy Nest."
"They knew you were the chosen one of the gods, so they tailored the trap for you. They also spent a lot of money to make it more realistic, putting in some ancient books and summoning some screamers."
"One of the founders of the Holy Nest, the Ninth Saint, was actually once a favored one of the God of Change. He later betrayed the God of Change and joined the Ancient Saints... Those real goods came from him."
……
"Hey, do you have a feeling that time seems to be a bit chaotic these past two days, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, it's very weird."
"Brother Li Yu, it seems you really killed the right person. Shang Yang's importance in Holy Nest is somewhat unexpected. He actually made them activate the [Time and Space Vortex] device."
"This thing is a divine object bestowed by the Ancient Saints. It can do almost anything it wants with time and space within a region."
"Of course, this is Wanfu City, they dare not go too far."
"I can only try to use some tricks to find out your whereabouts or your life or death status from the cracks in time and space and the vortex of chaos."
"Unfortunately, it's still useless."
"The level of that device is slightly weaker than the Red Dust Book."
... "I don't know why. Lately I feel like all the mechanical creations around me are watching me..."
"This is the intelligent life form inside the Holy Nest conducting a deep search of you. Tsk tsk, it has almost compulsorily enabled all permissions, including the Flesh Satellite and Phase Radar. The quantum computer must have also been activated."
"But I still can't find you. The Idle Man's Clothes and the Red Dust Book are covering up your fate and cause and effect. There are no loopholes."
"Speaking of which, Hallownest has been unable to control this intelligent life form recently. It was originally agreed that it would accept the name [Hallownest Intelligent Life Form], but recently it inexplicably forced itself to change its name to [Skynet]."
"Holy Nest is also in a dilemma. This intelligent life form is already very powerful at this stage, and its potential is infinite... It would be a pity to destroy it, but it would be a big risk if it cannot be controlled."
"Skynet is being activated to find you, and it's at risk of going out of control. Hallownest should be on the verge of giving up."
……
Zuo Cikui's judgment on the Holy Nest was indeed extremely accurate.
After that, there was no more major movement.
The power of the Book of Red Dust also made Li Yu look sideways, and even felt a little terrified.
On the first day, many people were unwilling to believe the headlines of the Wanfu Daily, thinking that the Lord of Misfortune would not die so easily.
But later, gradually everyone began to accept this conclusion.
This change is particularly evident among the star clusters of the Tianjiao Society.
All the geniuses didn't believe it at first, and kept calling Li Yu in the group and making fun of him.
Of course, they all believed that Shang Yang was killed by Li Yu.
This is the mental inertia brought about by Shang Yang's disastrous defeats in the past few battles.
As they continued to call out, Li Yu showed no response, and the demon star mark belonging to the "Evil Star" was dim, meaning death or disappearance.
Finally, everyone began to believe it.
Even Li Yu's number one die-hard fan in the group, Dan Chenzi, a member of the Tiangong Sect who worked for Wanfu Daily, had to accept this cruel fact.
In the group, thousands of merit halls were spent, and the screen was refreshed: "Deeply mourn the untimely death of the former number one prodigy of Wanfu City, the headline maker, the conqueror of Weird Domain, the favorite of the Lord of Change, the shameless Lord of Misfortune, and the kind brother Li Yu."
The other geniuses were also not stingy with their one or two hundred merit points and followed suit by copying and pasting.
Zuo Cikui, the shameless group leader, was the second one to follow.
Little did I know that at that moment!
Li Yu lurked in the group, watching his own death information constantly flashing on the screen, with a look of speechlessness on his face.
Even if this is the case, his name should still be mentioned from time to time.
After all, he once had a brilliant record.
But strangely, no.
Three days!
It was only from the third day that the words Li Yu, or the Lord of the Star of Misfortune, began to be forgotten by everyone.
It seems to be being erased.
The powerful geniuses in the Tianjiao Society would occasionally be mentioned passively because of some associated memories.
On the Ancient God Train, whether it was the patrollers or the lowest-level workers, they all completely forgot about Li Yu's existence.
Even when Li Yu mentioned it unintentionally, all he got in response were blank faces.
They all seemed to be wondering, “Who is this person?”
Li Yu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he noticed this subtle change.
At the same time, he also realized that he might have underestimated Zuo Ci.
If Li Yu can plot, why can't others?
There is no doubt that Zuo Cikui had tricked him a little.
"The description this guy wrote about me in the [Book of Red Dust] is likely to lead to more than just me and Shang Yang perishing together."
"Something else should have been added to make me forgotten by the world."
"It's like an author who writes a novel and deliberately downplays a character, making his importance gradually decrease... until he is forgotten by all readers. Who would remember a passerby who disappeared into the past?"
"I'm afraid this is also a necessary action for him to refine me into a puppet."
"This guy really knows how to play. He's so insidious."
Li Yu complained and cursed in his heart.
However, there was no sign of fear on his face. It was obvious that he already knew that Zuo Cigui would harm him.
He has always had a plan on how to crack it, he is just waiting for a suitable opportunity.
It was as if "luck" had come, and the opportunity came the next moment.
Throughout the Ancient God Train, an extremely shocking announcement suddenly began to play in a loop:
"Everyone listen up, everyone listen up."
"Good news, super good news."
"The Pioneer has completely transformed and evolved!"
"At the same time, a brand new and extremely shocking new line has been laid out and installed, with hundreds of stations. It will take Wanfu City as the core hub and run through the three forbidden areas, from the top of the tundra, the floating giant island, to the deep cave abyss, everything is available."
"There are several special stations, such as [Above the Starry Sky], which is located among the stars in the sky. People from the Three Kingdoms and Six Religions can see it clearly, but they can do nothing about it."
"And our Pioneer will be the first train to use this line."
……
At this moment, even Li Yu could no longer maintain his composure and revealed a look of intense surprise.
