Chapter 1215: The Gap is Closed and People’s Hearts Are Settled
After the thing was completely shattered, only black and gray debris remained on the ground, slowly drifting away under the light of the crack.
This battle was completed in the spiritual space. The battle process was originally very short, and the flow of time was slightly faster than outside. So in the eyes of people outside, after a sudden flash of light that lasted for several breaths, the thing on the opposite side collapsed, so fast that no one could react at all.
Vigadov was dazed as he watched his friend's body suddenly disintegrate. As a fighter, he immediately figured out what had happened.
He couldn't help but want to go and take a look, but he had been warned by Chen Chuan before that if there were any problems and he was needed to protect others, he should try not to intervene, so he just stood there without moving.
At this time, Chen Chuan held the blade in his hand and slowly walked towards the black smoke and ashes. When his foot stepped on the thing, it made a crackling sound and more gray smoke drifted out.
But in the smoke, the outline of a face was vaguely visible. After it rose into the air, it seemed to be staring at him, and then it suddenly fell down and drilled towards the back of his head.
Chen Chuan was still walking forward, seemingly not noticing anything.
But at this moment, a shadowy hand emerged behind him and grabbed the smoke. The thing struggled and twisted like some kind of entity.
Vigadov, who was standing behind, saw it very clearly. Once the thing was held by the spirit, it became completely clear.
From the outside, it looks like a bunch of weeds with many granular objects in the grass, but if you look closely, they are heads, including those of humans and various creatures, each with a different expression.
Feeling the breath coming from above, he could slightly understand what it was. It seemed to be the spirit of the previous sacrificers and sacrifices. Before he could take another look, a bright knife light suddenly flashed across.
A faint hissing sound was heard in the air, and the mist that looked like weeds suddenly turned from virtual to real, and scattered into fine particles on the ground, making crisp impact sounds when it fell to the ground.
Chen Chuan swung the knife and felt something was sucked into the Xuejun Knife and was digested in an instant, without letting the Xuejun Knife fall asleep. He stroked the back of the knife, took the scabbard from a distance, and then put the knife back into the sheath.
Vigadov looked at the tiny pearl-like particles on the ground. Half of these things were sparkling and the other half were stained with black smoke. He couldn't help but look up and said, "Mr. Chen, this is..."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "This thing should have been a natural spirit of the first people. Later, it was polluted by some evil spirits from the opposite world, so it became like this. Many natural spirits that have been abandoned and completely forgotten may have ended up like this.
I guess it was probably a change in religion and regime that triggered the change in belief in natural spirits, which was very common in the past regimes of the First People. "
He looked at Vigadov again, "Mr. Vigadov, you have to understand that your companion was no longer the same person when he left behind."
"Yeah, I understand. I understand."
Vigadov sighed.
"In fact, I understood it at that time. I was just thinking in case. I really feel sorry for him."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "If you were asked to stay behind to cover the retreat, would you do it?"
Without hesitation, Vigadov said, "Of course I will!"
Chen Chuan nodded. "You are working for a common goal, so you have nothing to feel guilty about. If it were your companions doing the same thing today, how would you feel?"
Vigadov thought for a moment and said, "I would be relieved and happy."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "It seems that you already have the answer. You have completed what he wanted to do. If you still feel uncomfortable, then do more and bring your friend's share as well."
Vigadov nodded solemnly. He thought for a while, raised his head, looked at Chen Chuan, and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, you are right. I know what I should do now."
As they were talking, a colorful light floated out from the corner. The person in charge of the ceremony there couldn't help but let out a light cry and took a few steps back.
Chen Chuan looked towards the corner and found that the part of the ceremony that the person in charge was responsible for had been successfully completed. This seemed to be a signal to start. In the next few minutes, colorful light mists rose up from various places in the field, and the rituals that everyone was responsible for were completed one after another.
Everyone looked at the light and unconsciously retreated to the middle.
The filling and repair of the ceremony has actually been completed here, and now the last step is to start the ceremony.
They all looked at Chen Chuan involuntarily.
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Now that we have come this far, we should see it through to the end. You should continue to complete it."
Everyone took a look and were all surprised. After discussing for a few words, they jointly nominated a young man.
After this person came out, he followed the established process and checked carefully. After making sure that there were no problems in any place, he placed the ritual objects on the reserved ritual nodes and then quickly stepped away.
But it seemed as if nothing had happened. Just when I was a little surprised and confused, suddenly someone pointed forward and shouted, "Look!"
Everyone looked towards the opposite side and saw that the light from the crack began to fluctuate and gradually shrank. The speed was getting faster and faster. After just a few breaths, it suddenly closed. However, at the last moment, it suddenly flickered, making it almost impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
When I looked again, there was nothing left.
Vigadov took a look, then turned to look at Chen Chuan and asked tentatively: "Mr. Chen, is this... taken care of?"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "It's over." As soon as this was said, all the young people present cheered loudly.
Vigadov let out a long sigh and looked around, feeling mixed emotions.
Thinking about the matter that had involved them for several years, it was finally completely resolved today, and the original knot in their hearts seemed to have been let go along with the disappearance of the rift.
These members of the Purity Faction were quite rigorous. They checked the place carefully again and confirmed that there was really no problem before they walked out.
But the matter is not over yet, we need to send people here to completely seal off this place. But it doesn't matter if they don't participate.
By the time the group came out, it was already afternoon.
On the way back to the camp, everyone was excited because this time they were not just spectators, but actually participated and eliminated a rift.
This sense of participation and achievement was indescribable, as if he had realized his self-worth. He even wanted to find a few more cracks to solve them right away.
Not only that, this time they made use of the ritual techniques of the primitive people, which gave them some inspiration and experience. If they encounter something similar next time, they will know how to deal with it.
Of course, this is only a superficial understanding. Before, each of them was only responsible for a part of it. Even if they pieced it together, if Chen Chuan didn't tell them the most critical context, it would be difficult for them to restore it on their own, not to mention that some rituals require specific alienated plants to work, which are irreplaceable to a certain extent.
This is not because Chen Chuan is hoarding his own things, because these are originally someone else's things. The superficial things can be talked about, but if the real core is leaked out and used by others to deal with the Throat of the Star, it will not be a good thing.
After returning to the camp, everyone had dinner together again. This time it was more relaxed. The camp had prepared more ingredients, and there was no duplication from last time.
After the banquet, Vigadov invited Chen Chuan to the reception room and said sincerely, "Mr. Chen, this time the matter was resolved smoothly. We have prepared some gifts for you. Please accept them."
Chen Chuan took a look at the box that was pushed over, and there was also a list of gifts. He looked at it and was a little surprised when he saw one of the things. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Vigadov. I'll accept it."
When Vigadov saw that Chen Chuan was willing to accept it, he immediately became very happy. He waved his hand and asked someone to bring another cup of the expensive drink. After asking the waiter to fill the cup, the two of them toasted each other.
Chen Chuan took a sip and put it down, saying, "In the past, when you found these cracks, did you always deal with them yourself?"
"Correct!"
Vigadov said: "We can only deal with it ourselves. If the federal government learns about this, the local central city will immediately come to control it, but then instead of trying to eliminate this rift, they will only resell or rent it to some laboratories and companies and collect a usage fee from it.
Some laboratories and companies are simply subsidiaries of cults, and eventually end up in the hands of those cults.”
He shook his head. “There have been too many such incidents in the past, so now that we have discovered it, we would rather seal it off ourselves.”
Chen Chuan nodded. The Federation was vast and sparsely populated, with many places simply uninhabited. The government itself still occupied large tracts of uninhabited land and had not developed it, so it simply could not take care of the other cracks.
But behind every crack, there are huge resources. If you can't develop it yourself, then it's only natural to hand it over to the people below to develop it. Because if you really want to develop it, you also need to be responsible for resisting things from outside, which not only saves a lot of expenses, but also can collect benefits from it.
Of course, the purpose of the Purists is not to eliminate every crack, but they are afraid that if the cracks are not developed properly, it will attract the opposite things, which they cannot accept, so there are always conflicts between them and those cult groups.
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Have you ever cooperated with the international investigation team?"
Vigadov said: "We have cooperated, but many of our members are federal people after all. They don't want this international organization to get involved in too many domestic affairs, but want to solve them themselves. Besides, in terms of strength and ability, we think we are stronger than them."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly. It was understandable that during the Dashun period, the arrival of the international investigation team would also cause dissatisfaction among many people.
After all, this is no longer the major league era, and the glory of the major league has long faded.
