Since ancient times, a solar eclipse, when day suddenly turns into night, has been regarded as a major omen.
Whether it is a celebration or a catastrophe, the ancients will always annotate it based on their past, present, and future experiences.
The partial solar eclipse that was limited to the ancient city in 1998 was undoubtedly a precursor to disaster.
"666 people who have fallen into despair, how long will it take..."
In a sense, the SWAT team's search for the "lurking ritual performer" was wrong from the beginning.
Although he is a doctor and lurks in the hospital, he is not a doctor!
This is not the fault of the experts of the special service team, but their lack of comprehensive understanding of Chris and their analysis of the Mother Goddess Cult.
The requirement to reenact the ritual is to retrace Chris's path, a prelude to her journey to becoming a god.
This is why people judge that he works as a doctor in a hospital, but this is true, but it is not comprehensive... A little error in information will be infinitely magnified in subsequent judgments.
Now, the special service team has determined that it is impossible for him to meet the requirements for the ceremony after being interrupted from collecting "sacrifice". This is a big mistake.
He collects "sacrifice" in the hospital, but that doesn't mean he must collect sacrifices in the hospital...
"Judging from the current situation in the ancient city, the 666 people who fell in despair...the 666 people who returned (died) in despair while seeking salvation will soon be gathered together!"
Desperate Fallen was a term they learned from Chris's notes as a doctor afterwards, but only people from the Mother Goddess Cult could really understand the meaning of this term.
Its complete meaning is "a poor person who finds hope of salvation in a desperate situation, but ultimately dies in despair."
First, they have to suffer fatal despair, and then they have to gain the possibility of redemption and salvation, but in the end, they still die in despair.
This is part of the Mother Goddess and a derivative of its concept that "all lives are miserable, and only by returning to the Mother Goddess can we obtain true salvation and peace."
The existence of such an "unsavable former hoper" is itself the most needed sacrifice for the Mother Goddess Religion.
In order to achieve the most perfect sacrifice, Chris, whose pseudonym is Liu Yiyi, conscientiously fulfilled her duties as a doctor, tried her best to treat the patient, gave hope to the patient, and then waited for the patient to die in despair.
With her ability, it still took her more than three years to meet this requirement...she collected the most perfect sacrifice.
"The world is cruel and merciless, and human power has its limits. No matter how hard you try, the final outcome will not change. Despair will come sooner or later, just earlier or later." She wholeheartedly practices her philosophy and brings success in rescue.
The greater the hope, and the more desperate the person becomes when his hope fails, the more valuable the sacrifice will be.
Lu Ping'an was regarded as an "unusable sacrifice" because he was unable to enter despair. "Liu Yiyi" directly judged it to be "broken" and chose to give it up.
"Are you okay? Don't worry, we are here. We will dig you out from under the wall..." "Long Xilan", who came with the search and rescue team, carefully rescued the victims under the rubble.
But manpower has its limits, and so does rescue. In the end, while some people were lucky enough to be rescued, there were still people who waited for the rescue team, but did not wait until the moment they were rescued, and died in despair and disappointment.
"489..." Silently completing the new count, he went to the next disaster point.
In the face of this "largest pollution outbreak in the ancient city in a century", no matter how many disaster relief teams there are, the rescue teams are not enough.
But if someone makes careful statistics, they will find that the number of people in the rescue team far exceeds the previous official registration by several times.
But among these extra teams, there is one face that is similar.
"Don't worry, we are here..."

Fang Wen came suddenly and left quickly.
After initially reaching a deal, she left without hesitation.
The content of the transaction is quite simple, that is, she uses her "child" as bait to attract the "predator" into the trap.
What Lu Pingan has to do is use his connections in the special service team to help him set up a trap and kill that guy.
I have to say that the Mother Goddess taught these people to play the same trick...
"Since I don't have much manpower here, I'll use official power to attack my companions."
It is simple and practical, but it also has the disadvantages of being uncontrollable and difficult to obtain feedback afterwards.
Lu Ping An, who has a background in the special service team, can make up for these problems. Fang Wen, who has had previous cooperation experience, naturally turned to Lu Ping An, the "insider".
"Yes, but since you have additional requirements, you must add money. I need a complete set of inauguration sacrifices and material consumption for the covenantee."
Contractor is one of the advanced levels of scholars, the most famous tool man in the world, but it is also the component that Lu Ping'an needs most now... At the same time, considering a wanted criminal, he does not think this is a complete tool.
A career advancement with no combat effectiveness at all.
As a professional tool, Lu Ping'an has already met the requirements for contract applicants. However, the cost of getting a job is very high, and Lu Ping'an is very poor.
"...I have become the contractor, which is also a good thing for our cooperation. Not only do we have the opportunity to achieve more trustworthy cooperation, but the contractor cannot breach the contract..."
At this time, he threw out the bargaining chip.
When a contract is made, if the person who makes the contract breaks the contract, the backlash will be quite terrible. Lu Ping An used this "weakness" to make Fang Wen willing to "increase money."
After thinking for a while, Fang Wen agreed.
Looking at the "mechanical bird" leaving, Lu Pingan was thoughtful. There were some things that he could no longer ignore.
"Big Cat, what is the Mother Goddess Cult? What is the Mother Goddess?" Lu Ping'an has asked about this countless times before. When asked by the special service team, there was no answer, only the dissuasion of "Don't ask again", what he said to Big Cat.
.......
"The Mother Goddess is not a thing... You know this, it's too early." Big Cat gave the same answer as always, but this time, Lu Ping'an had no intention of simply stopping there.
"You said this when I was at level 0, and you still said this when I was at level 1. Now I'm at level 2, so it's almost done... If you don't know it yet, it doesn't make much sense. Do you think it's the same now?
It's a desperate situation. Without more information, can we pass this level?" Lu Ping'an's words were very straightforward. Even if there are risks, we should take the gamble.
The big cat fell into a long silence, and finally spoke.
"Ping An Lu, you know that all the supernatural forces in this world are pollution, right?"
"Of course, isn't this nonsense? External pollution drags everyone into the water, and everything is dyed black."
"So, since it is all pollution, have you ever thought about the source of pollution? What kind of existence is the source of everything? What kind of great existence can pollute one world after another at will."
