Chapter 721: Be Stronger (please vote for the big chapter)
Card-
Accompanied by the sound of the solid concrete floor being cracked, a little giant with a height of more than three meters and a red body smashed a large piece of glass. With the flying glass fragments, it fell to the ground again.
"Hao Yi?!"
He stared at the train that was half in reality and half hidden in the void in front of him, his brows furrowed.
"You save people."
He Ao looked at Wu Lan, said something quickly, and then jumped out of the carriage.
"good!"
Wu Lan threw away the shackles on her hands.
The Velora restarted and sailed into the void again. Then from the other side of the hall, Wu Lan reached out and pulled Xia Ye, who had just been injured, into the car.
Then the Velora continued to sail forward, knocking away the guards blocking the way and arriving in front of the controlled 'sacrifice'.
West, who climbed back up, did not make any movement during the whole process. He stared at He Ao indifferently, as if he wanted to see something from He Ao. He still held the thin thread in his hand, and the faint red light was in his body.
Jumping.
"Have you always been in Newland City-State?"
He looked at He Ao, his voice hoarse, "You investigated here a long time ago?"
"Didn't we meet when I came here?"
He Ao looked at West calmly and shrugged.
"How can it be?"
West's bloodshot eyes widened slightly, "You want to say that you figured out my plan in one day? Are you kidding me?"
"I guess it's not too difficult."
He Ao looked at him, holding the Shadowless Sword, his eyes calm, "To be precise, it only took most of a day to 'see through'."
In fact, the entire investigation process is not too complicated, because Xia Ye has actually done some pre-investigation. She left an investigation report on the missing person, which pointed out that the missing person in the institute branch may be related to the wider scope of Newland City-State.
Related to missing eucalyptus.
In addition, Xia Ye may also have guessed through some clues that these disappearances may be related to the mirror, so when problems arise, she makes emergency arrangements in the office to avoid the ending of 'disappearing' directly.
This gave her time to leave traces of resistance.
And this trace in turn told those who came to investigate later that there was something in the office that resisted 'disappearance'.
The only obvious difference between the office and the hall was the destroyed lamp.
At the beginning, He Ao and Wu Lan both thought that there was something wrong with the light. The light distinguished a certain boundary between disappearance and non-disappearance. The light might be some kind of 'medium' that devours people.
However, when He Ao was on the phone with Wu Lan, He Ao thought of another possibility through the memory of Lenk devoured in his mind and the occult knowledge in his mind.
Mirror.
It was a cloudy day on the day of the incident. At nine or ten o'clock in the morning, the outdoor brightness was almost dark. When working in this state, the lights must be turned on. In fact, this was the operation of the institute branch at that time.
When there is a large difference in brightness between the inside and outside, the glass window will behave like a mirror and can reflect portraits, which is equivalent to a ubiquitous mirror.
Using mirrors as a supernatural medium and some kind of channel is much more convenient than using light directly.
Of course, the ability to achieve such a quick association also comes from a name that He Ao once heard. In the copy of Ronal, the leader of the wilderness wanderers, the A-level alien beast that once migrated near Chenxi City was called 'Mirror'.
Zhongdie'.
So He Ao asked Wu Lan to look at the condition of the curtains at that time, and found that the curtains were closed, and there were blood stains on the curtains that Xia Ye had deliberately splashed on them, which was a kind of reminder.
Following this line of thought, He Ao opened the information on missing people collected by the institute branch. Sure enough, among the information on many missing people, he saw records about the 'mirror', and Xia Ye's thinking may also come from it.
However, the institute is not a formal investigator, the information is incomplete, and He Ao is not sure whether the method used by the people behind the scenes to make people 'disappear' is definitely related to mirrors.
However, mirrors generally represent some kind of 'passage' in occultism and are rarely related to killings. If they are really related to mirrors, then these missing people are likely to still be alive.
And this involves another question: why did the people who kidnapped them want them alive?
In addition, He Ao happened to come into contact with the Church of Chaos at that time, which gave him a new idea.
Is the 'culprit' behind this disappearance the Church of the God of Chaos? Are the abducted extraordinary beings actually some kind of prepared 'sacrifice'?
So when he was fighting Missionary Right, he specially put a 'mark' on Missionary Right to pry into Missionary Right's thoughts.
Although this guy's mind was very confused, he still vaguely revealed some kind of 'sacrifice' information.
With this information in hand, He Ao reviewed everything again.
If it was the Chaos Church that led the disappearance of the institute branch this time, their purpose was to prepare sacrifices for some kind of sacrificial ceremony, and in order to collect the sacrifices, they caused many disappearances in the city-state of Newland.
So the question is, what role does the 'Moonlight' branch of Newland City-State play in this?
The institute can investigate the missing eucalyptus, maybe they don't know about it?
And why did the Church of Chaos dare to attack the institute branch?
Although most of the time, the institute appears to be harmless to humans and animals, it is still the strongest extraordinary organization in the entire main world.
Didn't they consider the consequences of provoking such a behemoth?
Of course, if their leader has been contaminated and gone crazy, then they may really be able to do anything.
So He Ao specifically told some of the chaos doctrines and asked the leader of the Chaos Church to take the initiative to have a phone call with him.
Through this phone call, he could clearly confirm that this leader was not only not crazy, but also very calm, and could even disregard doctrine to a certain extent for his own benefit.
At this level, everything is very simple. Two questions have one answer.
Why doesn’t Moonlight care about the Chaos Church? Why is the Chaos Church fearless?
Because this is the territory of the Chaos Church, Newland's Moonlight Branch may have been completely controlled by the Chaos Church.
After that, He Ao contacted Wu Lan to check the power branch of Newland Moonlight, and learned about the power differences in the Newland branch, and the conflict between the local minister West and the airborne deputy minister.
But he knew that Yueguang had a problem, but he was not sure which one of the ministers and deputy ministers had a problem, or whether both of them had a problem.
The key here is that the real church leader may have space props in his hands, and those missing people may not be hidden in the main world. If He Ao finds the wrong person, or fails to restrain the space props, it will cause the other party to
If the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the hostage may be killed.
Therefore, although He Ao was more inclined to think that West had a problem, he did not dare to make a judgment easily.
If Heao has enough time, he can set a trap to lure the real wolf out and rescue the captured person.
But obviously, he didn't have time.
Even if the Chaos Church completely controls Newland, it does not mean that they can withstand the wrath of the institute. This is something that even Moonlight Headquarters may not be able to do.
Therefore, the moment they took action against the institute branch, they had most likely already considered the follow-up matters.
The institute will definitely send a C-level officer nearby to investigate, and the nearest C-level officer here is Wu Lan from the Field Service Department.
Their target is not only the extraordinary beings from the research institute branch, but also Wu Lan.
He Ao deduced that their plan was to capture Wu Lan and complete the sacrifice as quickly as possible.
If He Ao hadn't visited here in the name of Hao Yi yesterday, they might have taken action last night.
As for the step of speculation, it actually only took him most of a day to make a full calculation.
"Are you teasing me?"
When He Ao said that it would only take 'half a day', West's face was as dark as water, "Do you think you are a prophet? Do you have some kind of prophecy tool?"
"There are no props, but there is an excellent companion."
He Ao put his sword in front of him and said calmly.
Hearing these words, Wu Lan, who had just pulled Xia Ye into the car, looked at He Ao's back, was stunned for a moment, and finally turned into a shallow smile.
The Velora quickly passed through the hall, smashing several guards who were resisting, and arrived at the corner where items found from the prisoners were piled. Wu Lan quickly reached out and took back his whip and dagger.
Then she waved her whip and rolled the nearest 'sacrifice' into the car.
It is actually easy to make a guess about the cause and effect. The difficulty is to verify this guess and turn it into practical gains.
After He Ao speculated on the general plan of the Chaos Church last night, he found Wu Lan overnight and told her his speculation.
However, he had no idea of using Wu Lan as bait at first, or in other words, he did not take the initiative to propose this idea. After all, Hao Yi and Wu Lan were not familiar with each other.
His original suggestion was to let Wu Lan leave directly and then stir up trouble to see if there was any chance to catch the church leader and rescue him.
The advantage of doing this is obvious, Wu Lan will not be in any danger, and the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, Wu Lan's departure may alert the enemy, causing the other party to forcibly start the ceremony or execute the hostages.
Although He Ao guessed that the Chaos Church might be related to Moonlight, West hid it really well, so he could not determine the real location of the ceremony. Once the situation got out of control and he could not find the location of the ceremony, things might get worse.
.
Although he has follow-up methods, they are more troublesome and risky.
The suggestion of using bait was made by Wu Lan herself.
The benefits of doing this are obvious. You can find the location of the ceremony and determine who the leader of the church is. Moreover, after starting the ceremony, the other party will not dare to simply borrow space props to escape.
The disadvantages are also obvious. If He Ao arrives late, or the other party changes his mind temporarily, or He Ao guesses wrong, Wu Lan will lose his life.
And this probability is not small, because time is too short, and many of He Ao's speculations are not supported by evidence.
Doing this was equivalent to Wu Lan putting herself in He Ao's hands, betting that his conclusion was correct and that he would definitely come.
He Ao asked Wu Lan why she chose this path, and her answer was simple, "I want to take them home."
This is the most likely way to save everyone.
Of course, the final plan was determined by He Ao.
"If you don't want to just let it go, how did you find this place?"
West looked at He Ao, his voice hoarse, "Is it because of that woman? You installed a positioning device on her? You let her be caught by me on purpose, and then found this place with the help of the positioning device? But I had her searched.
She has nothing on her body, where did you install the positioning device?"
"It seems that you don't want to believe that your plan is actually not bad, you just happened to meet me,"
He Ao looked at him and shook the sword, "As for how to position it, this is really a secret."
He didn't prepare any positioning device at all, he just placed a mark on Wu Lan and then determined her location by sensing her shallow thinking.
At this time, several more of the 'sacrifice' behind him had been swept away by Wu Lan.
West looked into He Ao's calm eyes.
Just as Heao said, he was not willing to believe that the sacrifice he had planned so hard for so long was seen through so easily. As an outsider, the other party only spent one day to find this place. This made him
All his wisdom and strategies seem so simple and ridiculous.
In contrast, He Ao really felt that West's plan was quite good.
If he hadn't accumulated a certain amount of occult knowledge and had some understanding of gods.
And if you happen to have a prop like a substitute's cloak, you can obtain information in two identities, increasing the information surface.
It also has space movement props like the Velora that can provide timely support, making it possible for teammates to act as bait and perform extreme operations such as a very short time lag before the card sacrifice starts.
The superposition of various conditions allowed him to achieve this step.
Without any of these conditions, he may not be able to achieve this level.
The most difficult thing about West's layout is that he moves very quickly, leaving very little time for the person to break the game.
If it were any B-level player in the main world, unless they used prophecy items, it would be impossible to break this situation in one day.
So He Ao quite understands West's incredible thoughts. If he were West, he wouldn't be able to figure it out.
But to his surprise, after hearing what he said, West remained silent for a moment and sighed softly,
"I originally thought that my plan was perfect. No matter which Class B came, they would only be led by me. Unexpectedly, today I learned how vast this world is."
Hearing his words, He Ao looked a little strange.
If the scope is limited to the main world, strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with West's opinion.
Because He Ao is not Class B.
At least not now.
"Okay, Mr. Hao Yi,"
West held the rapier in his hand, "I admire your wisdom very much, but in this world, wisdom cannot determine everything,"
The violent breath escaped from his body, and he glanced behind He Ao.
The guards who were originally responsible for guarding the 'sacrifice' had basically been knocked down by the Velora, and even the skinny left missionary was knocked into the wall.
As for the 'sacrifice', Wu Lan and Xia Ye, who had recovered slightly, had already rescued half of them and placed them on the Verora.
The ritual patterns on the ground were still shining brightly, and the blazing flame without temperature on the firewood was still burning fiercely.
In the conversation just now, while satisfying his curiosity, he was also looking for He Ao's flaws, but unfortunately, he did not find He Ao's flaws. He Ao's few sword-raising movements just now seemed random, but in fact they were
Predicted his possible attack direction.
Now, he has wasted enough time.
Skill does not mean advantage, strength is the criterion that determines victory or defeat.
The ritual was stuck at a critical step, and he knew very well that if he didn't deal with the man in front of him, it would be impossible for him to complete the ritual.
He raised the corners of his mouth, and his whole face became a little ferocious,
"See the power of chaos,"
Huge blood vessels were surging, outlining a flame pattern inside a ring on his back.
He raised his hand that was not holding the sword, jumped out suddenly, and punched He Ao.
boom--
He Ao's body was embedded in the huge support pillar, and the Shadowless Sword stood in front of him to resist the huge fist.
He Ao looked at him slightly surprised.
This guy's explosive strength far exceeds that of an ordinary B-level.
"oh,"
West bowed down, looked at He Ao, cracked the corners of his mouth, revealing his ferocious teeth, "Mr. Hao Yi, you are a little stronger than I thought, but only a little."
He raised his rapier high and said, "If you can't dodge this move, you will die."
