More importantly, the origin of the Black Death is also unclear. Before humans could find a cure, it suddenly disappeared.
All these plagues reminded Ling Cang of the Japanese plague some time ago, and then of that legendary terrifying existence, the Plague Knight.
There is no doubt that the Plague Knight has come to the world, and the other three knights will follow. According to the Bible, when God discovers that the humans he created have begun to corrupt, he will bring Judgment Day to the world.
The so-called "Judgment Day" is actually the end of the world. At that time, all people will face the final judgment and pay for their sins. The beginning of Judgment Day is the coming of the Apocalypse. Although the essence of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is anti-God, in this process But they serve as tools of God. They were sealed before and will be released by Jesus when the Day of Judgment is coming.
Of course, these are all records in religious classics, but they have been moved to reality a long time ago. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are powerful people with powers. It is not God or others who sealed them, but other people with powers. Ling Cang I believe that if there is a god, he is actually a more powerful person.
This solves Ling Cang's long-standing confusion, which is why the leader of the Illuminati calls himself the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." The principle is somewhat similar to the Buddhist saying "Who will go to hell if I don't go to hell?" The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are to Use your own sin against God to trigger the coming of the Day of Judgment in order to realize the ideal of the kingdom of heaven.
As for the fall of mankind, it is manifested in the pursuit of material things, addiction to flesh and blood, and drunkenness and dreaming. According to records, the ancient flood was God's punishment for mankind. In order to prevent the world from being completely destroyed, Noah, who built the ark, was left behind.
Taking AIDS as an example, it is mostly spread through homosexuals, drug addicts and promiscuity. These three behaviors are concrete manifestations of human depravity and are absolutely intolerable by traditional religious ethics. From this, we can find that this disease has a strong influence. Targeted.
As for the other knights, it was easy to understand what the War Knight represented, but Ling Cang didn’t know what kind of powers he had. The Hungry Knight seemed to be called the Disaster Knight. Ling Cang recalled the classics he had read and discovered that he actually symbolized It is related to all natural disasters, so his super powers should also be related to this.
Plagues, wars and natural disasters are the three most important disasters for mankind from ancient times to the present. In other words, the three knights of the apocalypse symbolize the three ways of human destruction, and all of these ways ultimately lead to "death".
In "Apocalypse", the four horsemen of the apocalypse descend in order, and the last one to descend is the death knight. From this, it can be inferred that he should not be responsible for anything specifically, but is just the leader of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Ling Cang finally realized how terrifying the Illuminati was, and he took a deep breath. Seeing that everyone was chatting happily, Ling Cang walked aside and dialed a number.
Ling Cang wanted to know whether his speculations were correct, so he wanted to ask Li Pingwei. I am afraid that no one in this world knows the Illuminati better than the Holy See, because the two have been dealing with each other for too long.
The phone only rang once before Li Pingwei picked up the phone. Ling Cang didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his speculation.
Li Pingwei was silent for a long time before asking: "These... are really just your own speculations,"
"right,"
"You are so amazing. You actually made such a discovery based on limited clues," Li Pingwei praised sincerely: "I have never met anyone like you."
"Is what I said correct?"
"Basically correct, the only shortcoming is that you didn't find out the ability of the war knight,"
"That's what I was going to ask you,"
"Actually, there is nothing particularly mysterious..." After a pause, Li Pingwei introduced in detail: "He can control people's emotions, making many people angry, sad or sad... They are all negative emotions anyway. He never It doesn’t make people motivated,”
"I understand..." Ling Cang took a deep breath and then spit it out: "The anger of one person is self-flagellation, the anger of two people is fighting, and the anger of a nation or a country is war,"
"Yes, that's how he became a war knight,"
"Let's talk about the Plague Knight, after all, he has arrived now,"
"Everything you said is right. Today's AIDS and the Black Death in Middle World are all caused by the Plague Knights. However, they were all created by the previous Plague Knights, but were amplified by the current one."
"The last term, this term," Ling Cang was confused: "How come the Knights of the Apocalypse are like being an official? Do they want to give talents to others after taking office?"
"It's a long story..." After clearing his throat with a cough, Li Pingwei continued: "The historical data available on the Illuminati are extremely limited. According to these limited records, the Illuminati was founded in the fourteenth century. In fact, this It was tampered with by the Illuminati to mislead people. Their history is very long, at least more than a thousand years. Powerful superpowers can have long lives, but except for the Lord, no one can become an immortal existence. Therefore, during this long history, there have been several Knights of the Apocalypse leading the Illuminati,"
"In other words, Knights of the Apocalypse is a title, rather than specifically referring to four people. In other words, whoever becomes the leader of the Illuminati is a Knight of the Apocalypse,"
"It can be understood that way," Li Pingwei nodded: "Every Apocalypse Knight will recruit many disciples. Before he feels that he is about to die, he will select the one with the best qualifications and the strongest faith from these disciples to inherit the position of knight."
"Where are the disciples who were not chosen?"
"Kill the burial..." Speaking of the tyranny of the Illuminati, Li Pingwei's voice became a little angry, even though this kind of sacrificial behavior has been widespread in history: "Because the Illuminati cannot allow anyone other than the Knights of the Apocalypse. People have the same abilities, and it is more important to prevent qualified people from challenging the status of the current Apocalypse Knight. God bless, the overall ability of the Apocalypse Knight is on a downward trend. This one should be considered the lowest in ability. This is the case with the Plague Knight. The previous ones can We have created many diseases that cannot be cured, but this time we can only survive,"
"So that's what it is,"
"You also mentioned this Plague Knight. You also know that some plagues in history disappeared without being cured. In fact, it was the Holy See's credit,"
"In other words, every time the Illuminati initiates an apocalypse, it has been successfully defeated by the Holy See,"
"You can say that, but..." Li Pingwei admitted a little helplessly: "We have never been able to completely defeat the Illuminati. Another embarrassing thing is that some of the plagues descended by the Knights of the Apocalypse became so popular because of the Holy See. …”
"Why do you say that?" Ling Cang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Pingwei to admit that the Holy See had made mistakes.
But Li Pingwei did admit it, because the Holy See has made reflections, such as the Black Death in the Middle Ages, and the Holy See's mistakes played a role in aiding the evil.
This thing is a bit funny. Medieval Europe was very ignorant. At one time, people were most enthusiastic about catching witches. For example, a woman looked up at the sky and said: "It may rain tomorrow." If it does rain the next day, the woman is a witch, and people will ask: "How did you know it would rain if you were not a witch?"
This is the result of people blindly rejecting heretics out of ignorance and under the guidance of religious spirit. Catching witches is not only a spiritual need, but also a kind of entertainment. However, the process is very cruel, usually tied to a pillar and burned to death, and "witches" Also unlucky are cats, because in legends, cats are the assistants or incarnations of witches.
The unlucky cats became scapegoats and were hunted and decimated. As a result, the number of rats increased rapidly, and the rats accelerated the spread of the Black Death.
The world is like this. Many seemingly unrelated things are actually inextricably linked to each other. Sometimes a small behavior may even affect the entire world.
After hanging up the phone from Li Pingwei, Tongtong came over and said, "What are you busy with?"
"Oh, it's okay," Ling Cang smiled: "Okay, let's go eat."
Everyone left the zoo and found a restaurant to have dinner. Liang Xiangyu and Tie Xiong left first. Tie Xiong was going back to the capital tonight, and Liang Xiangyu went to see him off.
Ling Cang, Hong Xue, and Tong Tong chatted for a while, and then got up and went back. Qin Hu followed everyone all the time, saying nothing as usual, and he didn't look like a tiger-fighting hero at all.
Neither Ling Cang nor Tong Tong had cars, so Hong Xue offered to take everyone back. While everyone was chatting, they came to the parking lot. Hong Xue took out the keys and was about to open the car door when Ling Cang suddenly said: "Hurry up."
"Why are you so anxious?" Hong Xue rolled her eyes at Ling Cang: "You also made an appointment with someone else."
"No..." Ling Cang said lightly while observing the surroundings: "Something is wrong,"
Qin Hu walked over and said angrily: "Boss, someone seems to be following us."
From the moment they left the hotel, several people followed them at a distance. After arriving at the parking lot, a dozen more people suddenly appeared. Qin Hu's voice had just landed. These people formed a loose circle and began to slowly Move closer to the car.
"Fuck," Hong Xue was very smart and immediately opened the car door: "Hurry up and get in the car,"
At this moment, a thin black figure appeared from nowhere, jumping on the roofs of other parked vehicles, and came closer in the blink of an eye.
Ling Cang didn't wait for the opponent to attack, raised his leg high and swept it under his feet.
The opponent rolled down from the roof of the car, dodged Ling Cang's move, and came straight at him with both fists raised. Ling Cang couldn't catch the move in time, so he could only try his best to lean up and dodge the move. As a result, he couldn't control his body balance. He fell to the ground in embarrassment,
