Chapter 933: Overturning the Nest and Explaining the Reasons
Chapter 933: Overturning the Nest and Explaining the Reasons
Because that being was deliberately lured by Chen Chuan to the honeycomb building for a fight, all the mental pressure he released afterwards fell on this side.
Most of the Plague Gang members were affected, not only them, but also the combat creatures in the buildings and various densely distributed field creatures were affected.
The fighting power and physical fitness of these people are not as good as those of the combatants and fighters outside. They are still lying there, and their consciousness is all groggy. This is because the gang members themselves also drew secret rituals on their bodies to resist the first wave of impact. Later, due to Chen Chuan's destruction, the impact was weakened a lot, so they were not killed on the spot.
Of course, some gang members who were closer were not so lucky. They fell there silently. When the action team members rushed in, they saw the Plague Gang members who lost their lives while guarding their positions.
Many places that seemed difficult to pass were easily broken through by them. In addition, combat organisms and some biological pathogens were also very important parts of the Plague Gang's defense system. However, they were all paralyzed by the impact just now. Only the toxins in the air here could cause some interference.
After the action team broke through, technical experts quickly followed in. Their main responsibility was to find out if there was anything left here that could cause serious consequences.
And when they understood the functions of some of the organisms here, they couldn't help but be secretly shocked. If it weren't for the influence of the existence just now, these things would be difficult to deal with, and it would be very difficult to take them down without any casualties.
When they reached the last floor, they encountered some sporadic resistance, but after the defense system was severely weakened, these people were no match for them and were quickly eliminated under the fierce offensive.
Several leaders of the Plague Gang were all caught. According to identification, several of them were wanted fugitives for serious crimes and had committed more than one large-scale vicious incident, including leakage accidents, water pollution, illegal human experiments, etc. However, there were also people whose identities could not be identified at the moment, mainly because they had undergone implants to transform their appearance, and they needed to be taken back for identification.
The kidnapped Speaker Quan was also found. He was lying there, unaware of what was happening outside. According to his youngest son, he had been in a daze since he was captured. They didn't understand what was happening outside and didn't dare to resist these people.
The captain of the operation team there did not comment on this and immediately had the man arrested and taken away.
Chen Chuan walked to the soft leather at this time, reached out to pick it up and took a look, and felt that his guess was correct, this should be some kind of lost item.
The level of this existence should be similar to the one he had seen on the Ferris wheel before, except that the existence on the Ferris wheel deliberately weakened its own power in order to attach itself to Director Yingwei.
The reason why he later wanted to seize the active consciousness was to find a body that could carry and exert greater power of his own. However, before he could completely complete this step, he and Hongfu cut off the body, resulting in the process of transforming from virtual to real failing to be completed.
The power displayed by the existence just now exceeded that of the Ferris wheel. If it had been like this from the beginning, it would definitely not have been able to cross the World Ring. Therefore, it must have received some corresponding supplement, and then relied on the membrane in front of it to lock its own power and prevent it from leaking out.
All of this proves that someone is cooperating with him internally. This is completely different from the situation where Director Yingwei was possessed. The latter was completely caused by himself, but this should be prepared in advance by someone. It is a carefully laid out plan.
Who is behind this?
Chen Chuan thought about it and felt that some people in the municipal council might know something, but they were probably not the main participants. Otherwise, it would make no sense for them not to use this power when they were about to fail. They were not that kind.
The Plague Gang was a direct participant, and behind it was the Green Source Ecological Company. It seemed that the real culprit had been found. But he felt that it was not that simple, because the target was too obvious. On the contrary, it was not necessarily that they were involved in this matter, but the real mastermind behind the scenes might be someone else.
At this moment, he vaguely thought of something.
He put the things away first, then turned and walked towards the tunnel entrance. At this time, he saw Director Lei directing some recovered members of the Secret Cult Bureau to imprison the long-haired man's body, and also using the Secret Cult ritual to seal up the remaining power of the evil god.
He walked over and said, "Director Lei, thank you for this time."
Director Lei said: "It is our duty to eliminate the esoteric rituals. This time I cannot do it alone. Thanks to Mr. Lan, who was found by Director Chen, he has a deep understanding of esoteric rituals, especially the old state religion. There are some things that ordinary old state religion people don't know."
This kind of person should have received religious ritual training since childhood, but I have never seen him in the esoteric system. If I am right, there should be someone in his immediate family who once served as a teacher in the old state religion."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director Lei. I know this person's background. He is indeed a descendant of the old state religion, but now he mainly serves state-owned enterprises. He can be trusted."
Director Lei said: "I am confident in the people that Director Chen has found, but I think that talents like this can be kept in Jibei Dao. This way, he may be able to train a group of talents instead of relying entirely on the Esoteric Religion Bureau."
When Chen Chuan heard him mention this, he asked, "Director Lei, you said before that there are some people in the bureau that you don't trust?"
Director Lei asked the staff around him to leave first, and then said: "The mastery of esoteric rituals depends on talent and age. There are not many talented people. Most of the time, it depends on age and experience. Some people in the Central City Esoteric Cult even came from the old times. They have been dealing with esoteric rituals all their lives. They have rich experience and are very good at handling various rituals.
It’s just that these people have a lot of old-fashioned ideas. Some of the students they teach are called students, but in fact they are apprentices. After these people stand up, they also take the initiative to defend their original ideas.
They rely on their seniority to do things in the bureau. When Director Qian was here, it was difficult to command them. But we can’t do without them, otherwise the entire secret teaching bureau won’t be able to function. This is a deep-rooted problem, not only in our Jibei Dao Secret Teaching Bureau, but also in other places.”
Chen Chuan listened and understood his idea. Since these people were not easy to move, he could only start over and find another group of people. He thought about it and said, "Director Lei, please submit a report to me and I will discuss it at the decision-making meeting."
Tantric rituals are very important. Even its security protocols are implemented through rituals. Nowadays, many people in the upper class are obsessed with using tantric methods and even join cults. If you want to deal with them, you must first understand these yourself.
Some issues within the Esoteric Affairs Bureau are serious enough to be included in the security and defense agenda. As a member of the security decision-making group, he has the obligation and ability to take care of this matter.
Director Lei said, "Okay, I'll submit a detailed report when I get back."
Chen Chuan looked at the tunnel again and said, "Director Lei just told me that there are two levels of ceremony there. The upper level should have been prepared for more than two years, and the painter of this level should be the painter we were looking for before. He should have been in Yangzhi before, so the lower level should have nothing to do with him."
Director Lei also sighed at this moment. Things are unpredictable. He thought of the people he had missed at the beginning, but he didn't expect to catch them here.
He said: "I just looked at the traces of the pattern underneath and my initial guess is that it is about ten years old."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment, "More than ten years? Is that also used to summon the evil spirit?"
Director Lei said, "It's very similar. Although the people who described the ritual are different, the function of the ritual is the same. It should have used resentment and flesh and blood to feed a certain existence before. It's just that this ritual has been used once. I guess the evil god worshipped above may have been swallowed by that existence once."
Chen Chuan couldn't help but nod. If that was the case, then it made sense. The source of the increased power of that being might lie here.
Director Lei added, "The ritual has been performed once, but some parts can be used again. If we add another layer on top, it will form a 'double-covered mountain grid' to sacrifice another more powerful evil god. But I think the ritual painter, the 'painter', may have other ideas. This shows that he understands the purpose of the ritual. I will take him back for interrogation. Maybe I can get some valuable information from him."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Okay, then I'll trouble Director Lei for this matter."
On the other side, Lan Shengu finally recovered his strength. He no longer cared about what was happening on the other side of the tunnel, but hurried outside and saw his cousin who was well protected.
"cousin!"
When Xiaoyi saw him, she ran up to him quickly, looked him up and down, and asked worriedly, "Cousin, are you okay?"
Lan Shengu said: "Fortunately, the Jibei Provincial Government Office is finally reliable. Someone came to the rescue at the critical moment, instead of making a big scene and no one cleaning it up."
Xiaoyi said: "Then can we go now?"
Lan Shengu said: "Then I have to get the other half of the money, and I think that the Jibei Dao Government Affairs Office is still capable of doing things, which is unmatched by other places."
He has been to many central cities, but they are all pretty much the same. He has ideas for solving problems, but it is always difficult to implement them. Whenever something involves interests, he can only deal with it on the surface, and none of the root problems can be solved.
It's really different here in Jibei Dao. They are determined to get to the bottom of things. When you think about it, they have even done something as unacceptable as taking down the Municipal Council, so it seems that there is nothing they can't do.
He said, "Let's stay here for a while. I, your cousin, also need to take a break. I've been too tired these past few days." At this time, he saw a message coming from Jie Peng. He opened it and took a look. He was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
