Second Coming?
At first hearing this name, Lu Xin was slightly surprised and felt a little familiar.
He remembered that this was not the first time he heard these four words mentioned.
There was a time when both Eclipse Research Institute and others were worried about this happening..
But after the Kindling City incident, few people mentioned it.
It seems that the signs that worried them have disappeared, and Second Coming is unlikely to appear again.
But why did this happen suddenly again?
Even without warning.
In addition, what will this world look like like Second Coming?
Faced with this problem, Chen Jing was as shocked as Lu Xin, and both looked at Professor Bai blankly.
"It's not Second Coming, I should say, it's Third Descent."
Also when their thoughts arose, suddenly, a voice that sounded like it was coming from another space appeared. The next moment, a slight reaction occurred on the spiritual level. Chen Jing drew his gun with a swipe and pointed at a certain empty space.
Lu Xin also had feelings, but he made no unnecessary movements and did not feel any danger.
Chen Jing Where the muzzle of the gun was pointed, a whirlpool of spiritual power appeared.
This vortex started from a tornado that appeared out of thin air, expanded little by little, and finally turned into a ripple. Then, inside the ripple, several Infiltrator emerged from it. The middle one had a red hat on his head.
There are two pointed horns on the hat, and the little face looks bruised and swollen.
I don't know who was beaten.
They jumped out of the whirlpool and immediately saw Lu Xin, with expressions of joy on their faces.
But before he could speak, he held up a portrait high.
What is surprising is that this portrait is an oil painting, and the painting is of an extremely handsome strange man. ——
After Lu Xin reacted for a moment, they realized that it was not a strange man, but Mr. Xue Jia, the dean of Eclipse Research Institute.
It's just that in the oil painting, he is thirty years younger and thirty times more handsome than in reality.
In the portrait, he looks like a living person, talking as if face to face.
He didn't say any nonsense, because as soon as the red hat Infiltrator appeared, he faced Lu Xin, so he also directly faced Lu Xin and said, "Second Coming, Kindling City has been stopped. It was Ms. Peeping Life who joined forces with all of us."
"The essence of that advent was a conspiracy to impact reality jointly launched by Staff Hider and Pale Hand."
"What is coming now is actually the third time, and it has already come. There is no way to stop it."
"..."
Lu Xin's attention immediately fell on the focus of his words, and he frowned and said, "Why can't you stop it?"
"Because this advent was originally brought about by real people."
Dean Xue Jia in the portrait said quickly, "Once upon a time, the first arrival was caused by the war between a generation of researchers and the Beginning."
"The experiments of a generation of researchers turned the Beginning, which was in a chaotic, pure Pollution Source state, into Mental Monster."
"—Or call it: God."
"——However, because of the disagreement in their ideas, they destroyed the one that originally belonged to Lu Tianming, and was also the first one to implant the consciousness of the Beginning. This incident led to the emergence of the first advent and the complete collapse of the order in the pre-civilization era."
"That is, what each of us knows, Crimson Moon incident."
"After the first advent, part of the ultimate came to reality, and seventy percent of people became madmen."
"And after that, those who failed to come to reality always wanted to come. This is the so-called Second Coming."
"After the Kindling City incident, many ultimates in the abyss temporarily gave up their ambitions to descend."
"However, even we did not expect that Third Descent would appear not long after. And this Third Descent was no longer the ambition of the Ultimates themselves. It was a generation of researchers who opened the door and used the pressure of the Beginning to force the endless mysterious creatures in the abyss, including Ultimates, to come to reality as if they were running for their lives..."
"As for the intensity of the pollution..."
"..."
He was slightly startled before continuing, "Even more than the first advent."
The intensity even exceeds the Third Descent that came for the first time?
Hearing this, even Lu Xin was suddenly stunned. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of scene it was...
"This..."
Professor Bai's voice suddenly sounded. You can see that he on the screen has appeared in the car. It seems that he is rushing to the Special Purity Department. At this time, with his hair messy and silky, he couldn't help shouting loudly, "How is this possible?"
"I think it was achieved through betrayal..."
Dean Xue Jia's voice sounded deeper than ever, "Betrayal Mother of Punishment."
"Betrayal? Mother of Punishment?"
These two unexpected words instantly made the conference room a little quiet.
It was hard to connect the dots for a while.
"When it first came, a generation of researchers used their own advantages to control or utilize several ultimates."
Xue Jia Dean whispered, "However, there is a special ultimate who is not controlled by them, but is also willing to be used by them."
"That is Mother of Punishment."
"She is a special existence. It is because of her that a generation of researchers restored Genesis Hard Drive. It is also because of her that the abyss is isolated from the Beginning. It can be said that she is the gatekeeper between reality and the abyss."
"Since Crimson Moon incident happened, she has been protecting reality."
"..."
Xue Jia Dean's words made everyone feel heavy.
Under normal circumstances, the appearance of the ultimate always represents fear and pollution. They never thought that there was such a special person.
"So, what now?"
Professor Bai was silent for a while before he couldn't help but speak, his voice subconsciously softened.
"If I'm right, she should have been killed."
Dean Xue Jia said solemnly, "That's why the portal will open, and that's why Third Descent will appear."
"How come?"
Chen Jing lost his voice and said, "That is the ultimate. How can the ultimate be killed just by being killed?"
"Other ultimates can't do it, but Mother of Punishment can."
Xue Jia Dean said, "Because she is not wary of humans in the first place, she is the protector of reality."
"Just like a mother will be wary of external enemies, but not the child in her arms."
"So, she could easily have been killed by a real person."
"What I didn't expect was... I didn't expect that the teachers would go to such a crazy extent."
"..."
"..."
"Beep beep beep..."
"Beep——"
Outside, various noisy and chaotic sirens were ringing.
The anxious footsteps and shouts of countless people rang out together, pouring in through the wall like a tide.
During the whole process, someone pushed open the door of the conference room one after another. Seeing the tense atmosphere inside, they hurriedly kept quiet.
Not daring to breathe too loudly, he stood quietly next to the conference room, followed by Lu Xin and others, and listened to these words.
"So..."
Lu Xin looked down at his palm, and the black nails there were still very clear.
"Is this the truth about Third Descent?"
"Someone just killed Mother of Punishment and triggered Third Descent?"
"..."
His mood has been stuck in an unspeakable complexity.
This nail has been with me for a long time, but I didn't even think about getting to know such an ultimate person.
Then the first time I heard about her was when she was killed by the person she protected, triggering a pollution incident that threatened the whole world. This subtle feeling made Lu Xin suddenly feel a little guilty towards this ultimate.
A trace of guilt, as if he had betrayed her.
"If that's the case, then we..."
The speaker was Chen Jing. She paused for a moment before speaking anxiously, "What should we do?"
Lu Xin raised his head slightly after hearing this.
He also wanted to know what to do, and hoped that Dean Xue Jia would directly give a reliable suggestion for everyone to implement.
However, Dean Xue Jia in the oil painting did not speak as everyone expected.
After a while, he whispered, "In this situation, I can't give you any advice."
"Even if I give it, I can't make a decision for you."
"So I came here this time just to deliver this news to you."
"And, publish a Special Pollution Cleanup mission..."
"..."
When he said this, he took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Turn around."
Lu Xin and others were stunned for a moment before they realized that his words were addressed to the red hat Infiltrator.
It reacted, held the oil painting, and began to slowly circle around the room.
Let the oil painting portrait of Dean Xue Jia be seen by everyone present, and his words can be heard more clearly:
"Now, as the dean of Eclipse Research Institute, I issue the highest level special pollution cleanup task to everyone in the alliance."
"We hope that those with the ability will come forward to protect the contaminated people."
"Task code: Third Descent."
"Mission level: world-destroying level."
"Task reward... the continuation of human order and civilization!"
"..."
"..."
Such a special mission announcement made it difficult for many people to turn around at once.
But Chen Jing responded the fastest. He immediately came to the whiteboard in front of the conference room, picked up the writing pen, and recorded it with a swipe.
"Everyone, during this period of time, Eclipse Research Institute has been suffering from the impact of the first generation of researchers and Black Spade Club. We have been overwhelmed in many aspects. Therefore, this time, I am afraid that we will not be able to fight against the advent as the main force."
"... Stop!"
"..."
He shouted suddenly, and the red hat immediately stopped.
The oil painting at this time was facing the Professor Bai display screen. It seemed that he had just rushed downstairs.
"The plan has been sent to you, Lao Bai."
"You are the only organization in Alliance Twelve High Wall Cities that has the foundation to execute this plan."
"I can't make decisions for Qinggang."
"So, I can only come here, issue such a task, and ask you to make this decision yourself."
"..."
"..."
On the screen, the background behind Professor Bai kept shaking, making it unclear whether he had red circles under his eyes.
During his rapid breathing, I heard him shouting loudly, "I've entered the elevator..."
"The signal is not very good, teacher..."
Hehehehehe...
