Chapter 790 Destiny is unpredictable and delicate (please vote for this huge chapter)
It seems that in the endless darkness, a disc with a faint light illuminates the way forward.
The blood-colored paper butterfly flapped its wings and flew into the darkness. Two people, one large and one small, quickly followed behind the butterfly.
In the silent darkness, sharp chewing sounds could be heard from time to time, like a life-threatening spell, echoing in the ears of the two of them.
The red-haired woman tightly held the disk in her hand and walked quickly in the darkness, carefully following the trajectory of the flying butterflies.
There was no touching platform or ground under her feet, but a void of nothingness.
After jumping from the door of the church, she did not fall in the silent darkness outside the church, but floated upward as if pulled by some strange force.
However, during this floating process, she never saw those churches floating in the air again. There was only endless darkness around her, and there were butterflies walking in the darkness that exuded little bits of blood light, and the butterflies dancing with her beside them.
Little boy.
She didn't know how long it took, but she felt herself begin to sink slowly, and then felt that she had completely flipped 180 degrees, from head up to head down, so the feeling of floating upward turned into sinking.
The chaotic space disrupted her perception.
But soon, she and the young boy beside her stepped onto the 'road'.
This road has no shape, it is still endless darkness. They step on this darkness and continue to move forward under the leadership of the paper butterfly.
In this endless darkness, the light from the flashlight will be completely swallowed up. Only the light of extraordinary items can briefly illuminate some items in the darkness, so she took out her disc as a simple 'lighting tool'
.
However, the little boy next to her stopped her from lighting up and looking around, and just asked her to follow the paper butterfly in front of her.
"There seems to be something very dangerous and strange in this darkness."
She lowered her head and whispered.
"They won't attack us,"
He Ao seemed to understand the worries in her heart and said softly, "Although we can't see the road now, we are indeed walking on the right 'road'. The weirdness in this space should not attack the life walking on the road. Follow the butterfly."
, don’t look left or right.”
At this moment, in his spiritual vision, the surroundings were not silent darkness, but densely packed twisted patterns. They were piled under everyone's feet, above their heads, and behind them, densely packed, constantly twisting and squirming.
Only the space where everyone stood remained a small, long and narrow void.
What maintains this void is the invisible 'glow' emitted by the blood-colored butterfly in front.
This light does not have any actual power, but activates something that seems to be an underlying rule, opening this 'secret passage'.
This road was not opened by paper butterflies, but has always existed in the darkness and is part of the "rules" of this dark space. As long as they walk on this road, the "weird" creatures in the darkness will not attack them.
"Why did you just say that this was a 'set' set up by someone?"
The sound of chewing in the dark silence seemed to make the red-haired woman feel a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
"Excluding Rockaway's hidden power, do you think the strongest person in this church will be in the church?"
He Ao glanced at her and did not answer directly, but asked slowly.
His voice was calm and gentle, dispelling some of the haze in the red-haired woman's heart.
"Not there,"
The red-haired woman subconsciously answered, then she paused for a moment, as if thinking, and then said, "I have information that the most powerful 'bishop' in this church has left the church."
"So this is how you dare to enter this church?"
He Ao followed Butterfly and asked casually.
"Um."
The red-haired woman nodded. She seemed to realize something, but she further explained, "That bishop is the only B-level combat force in the church."
He Ao turned his head and glanced at the red-haired woman. Her flying knife seemed to be an extraordinary item close to B-level, but her own strength was too weak.
If there really were only C-level combat forces in the church, she could still break into the church by relying on her intelligence superiority and the people of the Eternal Old Church to attract firepower, and holding the throwing knife.
If the employer gives her enough money, it would be reasonable for her to accept this task according to the mercenary's habits.
After all, mercenaries themselves do a job of licking blood. As long as the money is enough, they are willing to work even if there is only a slim chance of survival.
"But actually,"
He Ao withdrew his gaze, looked at the darkness ahead, and then said, "I'm afraid that the bishop is in the core area of this church now."
Red-haired woman: "Huh?"
"My initial guess was the same as yours,"
He Ao spoke calmly,
"When the Eternal Old Church attacked the church, I saw their manpower outside. They didn't have many strong men. Most of them were C-level and D-level. The leader was barely B-level.
"Although cultists generally increase their strength through sacrifices, since both sides are cults, if both sides increase their strength, it is equivalent to no increase.
"So I judged at that time that apart from the powerful shield, there was probably no particularly strong person inside the main church. In other words, the strong person inside had most likely been lured by the Eternal Old Religion.
gone.
"At least that's how it is in the eyes of the people of the Eternal Old Religion, that's why they raided with only these people.
“The ‘maze’ room formed after entering the church on the inside seems to confirm this ‘cognition’.
"If they have an absolute advantage, the Eternal Esoteric Cult believers in the main church don't seem to need to initiate this 'delaying for time' tactic,"
Speaking of this, Heao paused, "until I saw Rockaway in the church just now."
"Rockaway?"
The red-haired woman was stunned. She glanced at the blood-colored paper butterfly in front of her, "Isn't he here to catch Alice?"
"Yes, he is here to capture Alice,"
He Ao nodded slightly, and then he immediately asked, "Do you think Rockaway is strong?"
"powerful···"
The expression on the red-haired woman's face was stagnant. If that's not strong, what is?
Then she subconsciously glanced at the young boy beside her.
Okay, this one is stronger.
He Ao seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, but he did not say anything. Instead, he asked, "Following our reasoning, if the strongest person in this church has left, then such a strong Rockaway, now stay
What are the ‘duties’ supposed to be in the church?”
The red-haired woman was confused by this question, and then after a brief thought, she said in a deep voice, "The person in charge?"
"Yes, he should be the main person in charge of the church left behind. In theory, the strongest person left behind in the church, but he is not in the real core area. Instead, he ran out to catch Alice who escaped,"
He Ao turned around and asked with a smile, "What should the core area be like at this time?"
"No one is on duty? Can people from the Eternal Old Religion just drive in?"
The red-haired woman reacted immediately, and then she said in a daze, "But isn't Rockaway a spy of the Eternal Old Religion? Isn't it true that he released Alice himself, directed and acted in a drama to make way for the Eternal Old Religion?"
She heard the conversation between Howo and Rockaway.
As a traitor, shouldn't Rockaway make room for his 'real teammates'?
"It is precisely because he is a spy of the Eternal Old Religion that he cannot let himself go so obviously."
He Ao shook his head calmly,
"After all, it's not easy for him to reach such a high position.
"It is precisely because he is a spy that he should fulfill his duties even more. Only by being seriously injured after a fierce battle with the Eternal Secret Cult can he prove his loyalty to the Eternal Secret Cult.
"After all, when he stayed behind, the church was breached, and he would be held accountable no matter what. At this time, he was seriously injured and suffered a miserable death, to show his loyalty, and then exaggerate the achievements, exaggerating the strength of the old religion, rather than his own weakness, is the right approach
.
"Judging from the fact that he didn't use the Eternal Secret Cult's method of sacrifice from the beginning when he fought with us, he hasn't exposed his thoughts yet."
"Then Alice's escape was actually an accident?"
The red-haired woman thought thoughtfully and said, "In order to maintain the stability of the church inside, he had to come to find Alice?"
Through her brief contact with Alice, she also realized that Alice might have very high authority in this church.
Alice's escape may affect the stability of the church inside.
"Alice is threatening, but not threatening enough."
He Ao shook his head. He smiled and asked softly, "When you walked through the maze rooms, did you find that the rooms collapsed?"
"No."
The red-haired woman shook her head.
Then she glanced at He Ao subconsciously.
The weirdness in those rooms was ridiculously strong. The only broken 'room' she saw was the church that had just been shattered alive by Howe and Rockaway.
She still can't understand how they can be strong enough to break this kind of self-generated 'room' into pieces.
Forget about cultists like Rockaway who relied on cheating, she had heard of as many as eight hundred legends about cultists.
But the young boy in front of him looks like he is eleven or twelve years old, and is still a little thin, and he has not performed any sacrificial ceremony. How can he have such strong power and be able to kill Rockaway?
She can't understand.
Is there really some kind of ability to rejuvenate oneself in this world?
Looking at the red-haired woman's eyes, He Ao knew that she was thinking divergently again, but he didn't care about it and continued, "Do you remember the room of the smiling mask man?"
"Um."
The red-haired woman's thoughts were pulled back and she nodded slightly.
In fact, she has come back to her senses now.
The smiling masked man in that room is most likely some kind of 'projection' of Rockaway in this weird room, and even his abilities are similar to Rockaway's.
"Alice was supposed to have 'escaped' from that room,"
He Ao said slowly to the red-haired woman's slightly surprised expression,
"Didn't you notice that the smiling masked man only had two portions of steak, and all his actions were as if there was 'a person' in the room?
"If the core that makes up that room is Rockaway, then all the weirdness is reasonable, because as the core, any weird behavior in him is understandable and may have its endogenous reasons.
"But in fact, there is a high probability that the core of that room is 'Alice'.
"The core of the entire room is missing, but the rules in the room are still running, and the weirdos in the room still think Alice exists in the room.
"So Alice's disappearance may not be so important to the operation of the entire inside church in the short term.
"Rockaway can definitely go find Alice after the battle. After all, if the church inside is lost because of his search for Alice, then the entire responsibility will be on him.
"So even if Alice was an 'accident', he would not take the initiative to go find Alice immediately.
"unless···"
He Ao paused and glanced ahead. The paper butterfly that Alice transformed into slowed down. It seemed that they were almost there. Then he continued to speak slowly,
"Unless someone from a higher level gave Rockaway an 'order' to recapture Alice, then the responsibility will not be on Rockaway. Even if the Eternal Old Religion invades the core area, he can still throw the blame away.
go back."
"So, Rockaway was actually 'taken away' by people from the Eternal Secret Cult? In order to create opportunities for people from the Eternal Secret Cult to go deep into the church?"
The red-haired woman reacted somewhat, and said with a trembling voice, "Is this a trap? A trap to attract people from the Eternal Old Religion to come in and 'catch them all' in one fell swoop?"
Then she frowned slightly and said with some confusion, "But wouldn't Rockaway's 'boss' make Rockaway or the people of the Eternal Old Church suspicious? He suddenly gave such an order for no reason?
"Or is it that the boss is actually a spy of the Eternal Secret Cult? Isn't this a trap? Then isn't the Eternal Secret Cult deeply penetrated?"
She was a little confused.
"What if Alice's 'loss of control' was not an 'emergency'?"
He Ao looked at her and smiled, "If Alice suddenly loses control and suddenly issues such an order, Rockaway will definitely suspect that there is something wrong.
"But what if this 'boss' had been foreshadowing his concern for the strange problems in the church a long time ago?
"If this 'boss' may be a little neurotic due to his fanatical beliefs, then in this state, it becomes 'reasonable' to issue such an order.
"Of course, this is just a speculation on my part. In fact, there are many ways to achieve this result, and there are many things that seem unreasonable. As long as you put it in a certain setting environment, you can make it become '
Reasonable'.
"Just like some things that some people do are incomprehensible to outsiders, but in themselves, they must have their own inherent logic. What's more, most believers of the Eternal Esoteric Cult have a certain tendency to madness.
"Even if Rockaway and the Eternal Old Church had doubts in their hearts, when Alice lost control, the situation had reached the final step. The arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
"People will always deceive themselves. As long as there is no problem at this time, the people of the Eternal Old Religion will convince themselves, especially when the apparent 'direction' of the situation is still beneficial to them."
"So Alice's loss of control was not the work of Rockaway, who was most likely to profit, but the work of the Eternal Secret Cult, which seemed to be the most 'damaged' on the surface, in order to, on a larger scale,
Get more 'benefits'."
The red-haired woman continued what He Ao said, her voice gradually lowered, "But why do they go through so much trouble to move Rockaway away from the core area?"
"Do you think, if this is a trap, what does it mean to transfer Rockaway away from the core area? And why can the Eternal Secret Cult grasp the trends of the Eternal Old Cult so accurately?"
He Ao looked back at her.
Levins can easily find the movements of Eternal Old Believers.
"There is a high probability that there are spies from the Secret Cult in the Eternal Old Religion. Rockaway's 'spy' identity may have been discovered long ago,"
The red-haired woman pondered, "The reason why Rockaway was deliberately left behind and then moved away from the key location was because he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to use the power of the church inside to execute Rockaway.
"The people of the Eternal Secret Cult are actually very aware of Rockaway's combat power. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, they have to divide him and the people of the Eternal Old Cult to prevent them from appearing together.
"Allowing Rockaway to find Alice at a critical moment can fulfill his and the Eternal Old Church's wishes at the same time, which is beneficial to both him and the Eternal Old Church. Driven by interests, it will be easier for him to accept than other forced transfers.
"And Alice was chosen because Alice herself is related to Rockaway, so it would be more logical for Rockaway to handle it."
As the red-haired woman analyzed He Ao's thoughts one by one, He Ao was also watching the darkness around him.
Therefore, in fact, there was no accident. Everything was planned by the Eternal Secret Cult, but He Ao just happened to break in.
Alice herself will be closer to people who are 'similar' to her brother.
Destiny is unpredictable and delicate.
"This is just a speculation on what I think is the most likely situation that has happened. The real situation is definitely more complicated."
His footsteps stopped in the darkness and he looked around, "It's not necessarily the truth."
The red-haired woman fell into silence. Although He Ao said this, she gradually realized that this speculation was probably the closest to the final truth of this incident.
The operation of the Eternal Old Cult in Winter City is far inferior to that of the Eternal Secret Cult. Rockaway may be the Old Cult's spy at the highest level of the Secret Cult.
The only shortcoming of this 'trap' is that there is too little preparation time, and many things have an obvious sense of haste. The people of the Eternal Esoteric Cult were obviously caught off guard.
If it weren't for the Eternal Old Church's attack on the Eternal Secret Church's main church, it was an "emergency" and an extension of the melee that swept through the entire Winter City tonight controlled by the invisible hand.
If the people of the Eternal Secret Cult take longer to prepare, I am afraid there will be more senior officials of the Eternal Secret Cult entering the main church tonight, and there will be fewer flaws in the plan.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt shuddering.
She seemed to be invisibly involved in the deepest vortex of the two major forces.
Moreover, they are two forces that are more calculating and more terrifying than the other.
No···
Her eyes swept across the back of He Ao who had stopped in front of him.
I'm afraid there are three major forces.
Because of the unexpected situation tonight, the Eternal Secret Cult was actually not fully prepared. The strongest B-level 'bishop' in the church may not be able to form an overwhelming advantage over the people of the Eternal Old Cult.
But now, the battle between them may have ended.
After all, the people of the Eternal Old Church should theoretically enter the core area before Rockaway returns.
When the two met Rockaway before, they were already preparing to sacrifice Alice. So at this point in time, if nothing happened to Rockaway, it would be time to return to the core area.
The people from the old religion should leave, and if this is a trap, the ambush people from the Eternal Secret Cult should have already taken action.
The battle between strong men only lasts for a very short time. If the people of the Eternal Old Religion are strong enough, both sides may suffer serious injuries.
She stared at the young boy's back and suddenly realized that this young boy might not have come here at this time.
Vaguely, she seemed to feel a shadow extending from the thin body in front of her, covering her body and covering all the darkness around her.
"What's wrong? Cough..."
The young man covered his mouth and coughed lightly. He looked at the palm of his hand and coughed up blood, and then looked at the red-haired woman behind him.
A bloody paper butterfly landed on his shoulder.
"No...nothing..."
The red-haired woman shook away the thoughts in her mind.
"You can tell me if you have any questions,"
He Ao nodded slightly, then turned to look at the darkness in front of him, "We are here."
Dong... Dong Dong... Dong...
He Ao struck in the darkness in front of him. Although his hand struck in the darkness, it made a crisp sound as if it were struck on a wooden board. Then, he struck a few times at different times, as if
Determine the exact location of the 'door' in front of you.
Then he stretched out his hand and pushed the 'dark door' open with sudden force.
The hazy light slowly spread out from the endless darkness, falling on the boy's body, on the paper butterfly on the boy's shoulder, and on the red-haired woman's cheek as she stared at the boy's back.
The butterfly on the shoulder moved forward and disappeared into the light, and He Ao also raised his steps and walked into the hazy light.
Immediately afterwards, he felt his body stagnate, and the 'gravity' acting on his body seemed to have changed. His body changed from 'vertical' to 'inclined', and he was about to fall back into the darkness again.
So he suddenly reached out his hand, held the door frame, and then moved forward, completely 'peeping' out of the darkness.
A hazy light fell into his field of vision.
Immediately afterwards, he saw clearly the appearance of the 'door' he was currently in.
An open 'coffin'.
It's also a sliding cover.
Last time, his nutrition cabin had a flip-up lid.
He raised his head and looked forward. In the center of the brilliance, on a round platform stained with blood, a man wearing glasses who was pierced by golden spears was lying on the ground. He held a hand tightly in his hand.
White corona.
Opposite him, stood a beautiful 'woman' with a high ponytail and a gilded white robe, who looked elegant and had a gentle smile on her face.
He Ao's eyes paused for a moment and fell on the 'woman's' throat.
It's a 'sir'.
"Hello,"
The man in white robe looked at He Ao who walked out of the coffin. His eyes paused for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. Then he nodded slightly and gave a gentle smile, "Mr. Yiluo."
With just this slight nod, the terrifying pressure almost pushed He Ao back into the coffin.
This person is very strong.
"Hello."
He Ao didn't move at all, jumped out of the coffin, and landed in the middle of the platform. He walked to the slightly moved coffin that made him feel more familiar. He stretched out his hand, touched the edge of the coffin, and gently pushed the coffin open.
build.
The coffin lid with strong resistance was pushed open in his hands like a light hanging door. He glanced at the person in the coffin, reached out and closed the lid, turned to look at the beautiful man in white robe, and said with a smile,
