Let the more than thirty years since Crimson Moon incident have become a nightmare...
Old Director said these words, which made everyone present feel shaken and their ears ringing like thunder.
They understood the superficial meaning of this sentence, but they felt even more confused.
And this feeling of confusion was completely unable to dispel the shock that rushed into their minds when they heard this sentence. Their mental strength seemed to suddenly shrink, and there was an electric shock-like touch, causing every nerve in them to spasm.
"You..."
Because he was so shocked, Lu Xin remained silent, but Number Fourteen was startled and asked fiercely:
"How do you do that?"
"..."
"It's very simple..."
Old Director looked at him gently.
Such a look made Number Fourteen feel as if he had asked the wrong question, and his neck shrank.
But Old Director's voice still reached his ears clearly. "The Beginning's power can be obtained through sacrifice. Even those selfish mysterious organizations before Crimson Moon incident can discover this principle."
"In that case, why can't we use a more efficient way to get more power?"
"A generation of researchers, my teachers, they studied this problem but ultimately gave up."
"Because they feel that this will only aggravate the advent of the Beginning and will not help the problem..."
"But maybe, they are just not brave enough..."
"..."
Old Director explained softly, "If we sacrifice enough things in exchange for the advent of an era, borrow the power of the Beginning to reshape the world before Crimson Moon incident, and reshape those who have not experienced Crimson Moon incident, then can it be understood that Crimson Moon incident, and this desperate world after the incident, never existed at all?"
"Energy is stable, and through such a sacrifice, the Beginning, which has consumed enough power, will not bring destruction to this world again?"
"Look..."
Old Director laughed and spread his hands gently, "Just fold it, the problem is solved."
"Imagine a world where nothing has happened and you don't have to worry about what happened anymore. What a wonderful world it would be. How happy would it be if you closed your eyes and fell asleep and woke up to find that it was all just a nightmare?"
"You..."
"You call this a problem solved?"
"..."
Old Director's confident and magnanimous smile made everyone present feel numb.
At this time, they understood Old Director's plan and his philosophy. They couldn't think of what words to use to refute. They just felt deeply that a kind of madness beyond imagination and despair was coming.
No. 5 said before that Old Director built an altar.
That was an altar that could fill half the world, but now I realize that it was wrong...
Not half the world, but the whole world.
What Old Director wants to sacrifice is basically the entire world after the arrival of Crimson Moon incident...
Crazy!
madman!
Others were in a frightened mood and subconsciously leaned back and stayed away from the dining table.
And Lu Xin couldn't help but stand up and looked directly at Old Director. It was the first time he cursed so directly:
"You, you are really crazy..."
"..."
"Why do you think I'm crazy?"
Old Director faced the panic of the people around him and the anger of Lu Xin, but his face was unusually calm. He said softly, "We are already living in the Beginning's dream, and I just want this dream to be less painful and make the world a better place."
"I have told you countless times before about the beauty of the pre-civilization era."
"Such a beautiful world is worth everything."
"Not to mention, all we need to pay is this hopeless and dirty incomplete world..."
"..."
As he spoke, there seemed to be a faint excitement in his eyes, and his arms were slightly raised, as if he was spreading an embrace.
"Children..."
"This is a great plan and a perfect circle..."
"But I need your help, I need you to help me complete this great plan..."
"..."
"You..."
Everyone around the dining table had jumped up in panic.
They either looked at Old Director in horror or fear. Only No. 7 sat next to Old Director as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
Whether it is Lu Xin, No. 3, No. 5, Number Fourteen and others, they have all clenched their fists tightly.
It's just that a certain kind of panic enveloped them, making them don't know what to do for a moment...
"No one will help you..."
Lu Xin frowned tightly, and the black particles in his eyes were trembling slightly.
"Oh?"
Old Director raised his head slightly. As an ordinary person, he actually looked directly into Lu Xin's eyes, and then suddenly smiled:
"I never said you could refuse."
"..."
"..."
"Uh-huh!"
It was as if Old Director's words suddenly touched a tense nerve in everyone's hearts.
The person who originally did not dare to take action against Old Director because of some shadow and panic suddenly made a decision. Number 3, who was closest to Old Director, suddenly gritted his teeth slightly and reached out to Old Director. He grabbed Old Director, and his arm actually grew longer than normal at this moment, like a rope, tied around Old Director's neck, and then his palm suddenly opened.
In his palm, there was a sharp and ferocious mouth, and a small apple spit out from the mouth.
The tab has been removed.
Old Director just sat quietly at the table, seemingly without any intention of resisting.
On the other hand, No. 7 next to Old Director suddenly jumped up. She pursed her lips and said nothing. She raised her hand and grabbed the small apple and threw it out the window. Then she held the knife in her hand and swung it up. With a sneer, she cut off No. 3's arm.
"Chi chi chi..."
Suddenly a sharp sound broke through the air, and a pale shadow flashed quickly. Little Nineteen's body was torn apart and he rushed forward.
She held sharp table knives in both hands, divided them into left and right hands, and stabbed Old Director.
At the same time, No. 8 turned around suddenly, pulled his silver box in front of him, and opened it with a click.
His body seemed to turn into an overlapping of seven or eight shadows in an instant.
Each shadow took out a weapon, or instrument of torture, from the silver suitcase and slashed it towards Old Director.
"Ouch..."
But at this moment, suddenly, everyone heard a sharp scream on the spiritual level.
The next moment, Old Director's window was suddenly knocked open, and the ceiling above his head was violently cracked. There were actually two figures grabbing each other from the window and the ceiling. One on the left and one on the right, they blocked Old Director's side. The attacks of No. 8 and Little Nineteen were affected by invisible spiritual power, and they landed on the bodies of these two people involuntarily.
It wasn't until the two men fell down in a bloody mess that everyone saw that they looked like two ordinary people.
They were affected by some kind of spiritual power and rushed in in time.
Fantasy Nation degree.
No one was ignorant, and they all immediately thought of the reason.
Now they are all in a Fantasy Nation country. In this country, everything will be controlled by a central spiritual power, which can even turn falsehood into reality. This core spiritual power is responsible for protecting Old Director at this time...
There have been signs of this before.
When they entered the city on Ghost Train, those who suddenly stopped and greeted them were this spiritual power.
Old Director's home seems to have no protective power, but in fact, in such a city, everyone can become his bodyguard at any time, and he is a bodyguard who can give his life without hesitation.
Now, such bodyguards are rushing in from the window and from the ceiling upstairs.
From the direction of the door, there was suddenly a violent banging sound on the door.
"Son of a bitch..."
No. 5 gritted her teeth and cursed loudly. Suddenly, the rickety man under her control straightened up.
A dull roar came from the chest.
Immediately, outside the building, at the entrance of the community, there was a violent tearing sound. The section of the carriage that was hung behind Ghost Train was torn to pieces at this moment, and then a huge explosive force shot up into the sky. Three tall and violent figures rushed over from the carriage, cracking the ground with every step, and rushed here quickly.
Invisible spiritual power surged towards them, seeming to block their momentum.
But they were unaware and rushed in this direction violently like machines, slamming into the wall downstairs.
Click...
Like an earthquake, the entire building shook, the walls collapsed and the floors cracked.
And below, the three tall and violent figures were climbing quickly towards the upper floor.
The masterpiece of No. 5 is three violent combat machines created on the same principle as Eclipse Research Institute Negative Zero Unit.
They are almost unaffected by spiritual power, and they can kill them directly if they identify the target.
But now, No. 5 has set its target firmly on Old Director, making a desperate move.
"Kakakaka..."
But at this same time, the damaged rooms and walls were restored quickly. The three violent ferocious beasts quickly rushed upstairs, causing huge damage to this fragile residential building with every move. However, wrapped in invisible spiritual power, this residential building seemed to have its own consciousness and was repairing its body rapidly.
This made the three ferocious beasts seem to be getting closer to the target with every step, but they were immediately one step further away from the target.
This is Fantasy Nation reaching its extreme, possessing a world that is almost repairing reality, lengthening the distance between the beast and its target.
"No. 9..."
Number 2, who was wearing round glasses, glanced at Lu Xin, seemingly asking.
Lu Xin stood aside with a frown and nodded.
Number 2 immediately exhaled, raised a finger, and lightly tapped the wall next to him.
Guanghua containing all kinds of twisted colors appeared from his fingertips.
With point and surface coverage, it instantly covers the entire room or even the entire residential building.
Even the core spiritual power that rules this city, the king of the Fantasy Nation kingdom, lost control of this residential building. His spiritual power was forced to withdraw from the building and lost control. This is no longer his kingdom...
"Wow..."
The spiritual power that enveloped the city was obviously unwilling to be reconciled and was extremely shrinking.
But No. 2 only concentrated slightly, as if he woke up slightly from a dazed state, and his mental power bounced back.
Two huge spiritual forces, one from the outside and one from the inside, squeezed instantly.
Indescribable violent force suddenly burst out due to this violent squeeze. Ripples in the air that were visible to the naked eye exploded in an instant. The roof of the entire residential building was blown away. Sunlight penetrated into the house at this moment, but then came the choking dust and blinding rubble. The weight-bearing feeling was lost under the feet. The entire building collapsed in an instant and crashed downwards.
Click...
Even under the feet, there was a faint dark red light emerging, as if under this impact, the abyss was torn open.
"Hiss..."
Outside the building, there was a strange and unwilling roar, and it went away at the same time.
In this confrontation, No. 2's spiritual power was stronger after all, and he was able to push back the spiritual power that enveloped the city.
However, because God's Nightmare was so powerful, the three ferocious beasts on No. 5 were also bounced away in the chaos.
Among them, there was even one whose body was directly torn into pieces by the two intertwined spiritual powers.
And just as the remaining two ferocious beasts roared fiercely, they immediately pounced on the overturned residential building. The people in the room were already falling involuntarily among the rubble as the residential building collapsed, attracting everyone's attention. Number Fourteen, who had been hiding nearby and shivering, as if frightened by what happened in front of him, suddenly turned cold.
He turned slightly sideways and aimed at Old Director.
The huge belly and body seemed to be collided by something, and endless blood burst out in an instant.
Then a bright red figure emerged from his body.
Like a person, but more like a snake, spiraling forward in an instant.
Bypassing No. 7 and the other figures who had just rushed in from elsewhere, he wrapped himself around Old Director's body, then wrapped him around him and tightened him with all his strength. The head with blurred features opened its mouth fiercely, and bit Old Director's neck with its fangs.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and recognized who the figure was.
"Crack..."
But then, there was a sudden scream, and the slender figure was thrown away and hit the wall.
Then, the delicate spiritual power made the sound of eating away at the mulberry leaves, and everything around him was quickly recovering, including the overturned table, the overturned wine glass, the broken windows, the ceiling with a hole in it, and the lime powder and mud that fell into the dishes.
The entire building experienced the process of being destroyed and reorganized in an instant.
Everything disappeared as if going back in time, returning to its previous appearance.
Only Number Fourteen, whose face was pale and sweating continuously, still had shocking wounds on his body.
The weird snake-like creature was leaning against the wall, coughing blood.
"You all did a great job."
Old Director slowly sat up straight, picked up the towel, and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"But it's not good enough..."
His eyes lightly swept over the people around him, and then commented one by one. "No. 3, you have a parasitic ability. But your power actually comes from possession. I didn't expect that you can develop your ability to what it is now. But with such an ability, you use it to seize the abilities of other living things and hide certain dangerous weapons. Still, you are overqualified..."
Then he looked at No. 5: "The concept of Negative Zero Unit is a bit outdated."
"By erasing one's own mental characteristics to become immune to contamination, it is actually a research with a low upper limit. Such biological weapons are troublesome to make and even more troublesome to maintain. The most important thing is that they are of little use to existences beyond the fifth level."
"..."
"No. 8 and Little Nineteen, your abilities are not special, and you have not developed awakening."
He shook his head slightly. "But you two are the most timid. It would be great if you can muster the courage to attack me."
"No. 2, after all these years, you are still a puppet of God's Nightmare, but you have not become its master."
"So, you really can't fully utilize its power..."
"..."
"The ones worthy of praise are Number Twelve and Number Fourteen."
Old Director looked at the seriously injured Number Fourteen and the weirdo in the corner, with a smile on his lips, nodded slightly, and said, "Especially Number Twelve, I I knew you were hiding, and I tried to find you, but failed. What I didn't expect was that you were hiding in Number Fourteen's body and had the guts to assassinate me when I had given up looking for you."
"This is really good."
"And if Number Fourteen..."
He looked at Fourteen who was slumped in the chair, smiled and nodded, "You have liked scaring people since you were a child."
"I have to admit, I was scared by you this time."
"..."
As Old Director's words were spoken one by one, a kind of despair suddenly arose in everyone's hearts.
Each of them has taken action, but all they got in return were comments.
The most important thing is that until now, they don't know how they failed...
In their despair, they suddenly remembered something, and at the same time they raised their heads and looked at Lu Xin.
And number nine.
The most powerful tyrant.
They don't understand why Lu Xin didn't take action just now?
"No. 9 just took action."
As if he saw their thoughts or their inner hopes, Old Director suddenly smiled and said, "He took action earlier than you. As early as No. 3 put a grenade in my arms, No. 9 had already taken action against me at least three times."
"?"
Everyone's expressions suddenly became dull.
The last glimmer of hope in their hearts was close to being extinguished. They even looked at Lu Xin, hoping that he would refute.
But Lu Xin remained silent and slowly said, "Why?"
He also seemed a little confused, why his mental shock and the destruction of black particles through the air were all useless?
There was also Number Twelve's sneak attack. He had clearly grasped Old Director's lifeline.
But the results suddenly lost their meaning...
Old Director is obviously just an ordinary person. Even if you look at him face to face now, he is still an ordinary person.
But how did he do it?
This question destroyed everyone's last hope.
Old Director had a sigh of relief on his face. He took out a pack of low-quality cigarettes from his pocket. It was only after seeing the pack of cigarettes that he took out that he discovered that the ones he usually smoked and the ones Lu Xin liked to smoke were both of the same brand. When the pungent smoke dispersed, Old Director sighed softly and said, "The sacrifice is about to begin..."
"This is the largest sacrifice and a transaction with the Beginning that I deduced based on all the secret rituals and sacred codes of the mysterious organizations in the pre-civilization era, combined with the research on Mental Mutation and the Beginning, and the ultimate in this era."
"This sacrifice is named God's Cage in the mysterious code records of the pre-civilization era."
"Under the witness of seven archangels, I dedicate my herds, my population, my wealth, and myself to the great Lord. Our Lord will come in a dream. He will be moved by my piety and give me new herds, new wealth, and a new me."
"If he rejects me, I will leave him in a dream, praying forever..."
"..."
Old Director said slowly, and then began to smile, "So, children, I am also one of the sacrifices."
"Before you arrived, I had already entered the altar..."
The third update is here.
