Hearing the words of the blood demon, Ronan made a basic judgment in his heart. Naturally, he changed his gaze and looked at the young white priest who was walking towards them. He looked like a guy.
They have seen it before.
Apollyon.
This guy who has become one of the most dangerous extraordinary species in the world suddenly appeared in front of Ronan.
It can be said that this is their territory, and they can do whatever they want. But looking at this posture, combined with what the blood demon said, Ronan also had an ominous premonition.
The last time he saw Apollyon was at a global summit meeting. It was a virtual meeting, and he felt that this man was lonely and gloomy, and he was out of tune with other people.
Only in reality, when this person walks towards him step by step, can we truly feel the deep danger contained in it.
It seems that Apollyon is upright and meticulous from top to bottom. He is the kind of "cold priest" character that comes out of comics and can make little girls scream.
But underneath his formal attire, there were real ups and downs of chaotic waves. Most of them were relatively well suppressed, but traces were revealed only in the pair of eyeballs that were always burning.
Ronan looked at it, and the surrounding air seemed to be affected by the high temperature radiated, causing fluctuations and distortions.
At this moment, the surroundings don't seem to have fallen into the night, but rather like a scene under the scorching sun at noon.
In fact, the street where Ronan and the Blood Demon were located did become brighter, as if there was an unknown light source, and the day and night were reversed.
The crowd at the far end of the street, just as they had missed the supreme ruler of Harbin before, did not notice the reverse change in the sky.
They have been reduced to mere scenes, embellishments of this strange space that is rooted in reality but detached from it.
"A space fault."
Ronan glanced at the blood demon. In the past two days, this buddy had been reminding him that speaking too harshly might arouse Apollyon's dissatisfaction, causing unnecessary conflicts.
But now, he didn't say anything, and the space faults were all erected.
Moreover, this is not a general fault, but more like President Ouyang's logical world. The difference is that in this domain space structured by extraordinary power, the chaotic and manic atmosphere is endlessly stirring.
And when everything returned to Apollyon's body, it was restrained and repressed, and all the chaotic elements were suppressed under the neat robes. Only the violent and unwilling but silent roars and vibrations remained, causing everything around him to tremble.
All the chaos seemed to have nothing to do with him.
The blood demon grinned and took a step forward: "I said..."
After saying half of it, it’s not easy to move on.
Apollyon's eyes seemed to be burning all the time, projecting a scorching gaze, directly stepping over the blood demon's shoulder, stabbing Ronan in the face, and then spoke:
"You are here as an observer, stay there, don't try to be a participant, a governor."
A real warning.
Ronan pursed his lips, said nothing, and listened quietly.
Apollyon did have something else to say: "Either the world is deformed; or humans are deformed relative to the world, interfering with each other and correcting each other. This is the meaning that all things have naturally carried since their existence.
"Following this and taking action is a sacred ritual. Whether it is the kingdom of God or hell, or complete destruction and facing the final judgment, it only depends on their choice."
This gentleman's language skills are as good as mine.
Sure enough, after being a magic stick for a long time, it is more difficult to speak human words?
While Ronan was complaining, he still needed to think carefully before he understood the meaning of Apollyon's words.
This is an explanation.
Although he set up a space fault, although he continued to interfere with and destroy the space-time configuration he had prepared in advance, although he tried to peel off all safety barriers and see the real body directly...
But this is indeed explanation and communication.
The corners of Ronan's pursed lips turned up: "Understood, I am indeed an observer."
The blood demon who was listening should have breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard Ronan's tone, he grinned.
Ronan continued: "So, I will carefully observe this place. Including the current 190 million people in this city, there are nearly 50 million second- and third-stage infected people; there are millions more that are out of control or
Poor bastards on the verge of losing control. I will observe their deformed behavior in this deformed world.
"At the same time, I will also keep a close eye on you, Mr. Apollyon."
The blood demon next to him raised his hand and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but still fell behind Ronan's surprisingly fluent words. In the end, he could only spread his hand, and consciously took a step back, moving away from the core area of the confrontation between the two.
Apollyon's burning eyes were fixed: "You, observe me?"
"Yes, I will carefully observe your position and role in this so-called 'sacred ceremony', as well as the consequences and impact.
"But I also have to admit that pure observation is almost impossible. In this case, a more reasonable prediction and design should be a relatively objective experiment.
"Through relatively restrained measures, let's see how this city, which seems to have turned into a crater, will shift or mutate under the influence of different guiding forces."
Ronan was still talking, but the street buildings on both sides were shaking slightly, and soon the ground was also doing the same. It felt like the entire city was swaying on the water, and there seemed to be real magma roaring and impacting underground.
Ronan didn't care about this, but he thoughtfully invited the blood demon next to him into the discussion group:
"If my geographical knowledge is correct, the city of Harbin is indeed close to the crater. And I have also heard that due to urban design, including the disorderly mining and use of groundwater, urban buildings have been sinking in recent years.
"Also, Mr. Blood Demon, the two of us just saw these.
"In such a complex, well, harsh environment, this city can still exist, and in such a chaotic and dynamic way... It is really not simple.
"Mr. Blood Demon, you can't compare to this."
The blood demon's innocent expression clearly means "You two are tit for tat, don't take me with you"!
As for the promises he made before, saying that he would pave the way for Ronan to introduce him and achieve peaceful exchanges...those promises were all scattered and submerged in this chaotic city, and it seemed that he was never willing to pick them up again.
However, what Ronan said and what the blood demon thought were not on the same track.
He could only shake his head and explain further: "What I mean is that Mr. Apollyon's city is constantly adjusting its state, and he also takes the opportunity to constantly adjust his state. He uses this chaotic situation to adjust his body and mind, and get rid of the powerful but rigid extraordinary world.
structure.
"I must say, Mr. Blood Demon, you really can't do this... at least you haven't done it."
The blood demon did not respond immediately, but his somewhat exaggerated expression and attitude were somewhat restrained.
Ronan directly compared people here: "In my opinion, Mr. Apollyon is a bit similar to Ms. Mera, who is currently a guest in Xia City, but in this state, and with activation and adjustment methods, he is more powerful than that one.
, and seems to have no scruples.”
"Then you don't know much about Mo La."
The blood demon regained his composure and muttered.
But at this time, the gaze he cast on Apollyon was obviously different from before.
Apollyon looked at Ronan quietly, and after a few seconds he nodded slightly: "I have long heard that communicating with Professor Luo can always gain unique insights no matter what. This is good...is there anything more beautiful?
statement?"
Ronan smiled.
He could feel that the chaotic space fault was eroding his defense field more and more obviously.
Of course, correspondingly, thousands of "control lines" from magneto-optical mica penetrated in more unscrupulously, and in the faults, they also tried to create shadows on Apollyon's physical and spiritual framework.
In fact, Ronan wanted to say that Apollyon's state was more like a magic talisman, a dark side species with an essentially chaotic nature projected from the distant sun disk of the abyss.
Although it is chaotic, it has a higher-dimensional framework and therefore has certain regulations.
Of course, its framework is not order, but a reaction to order, so it needs an entity of order to rely on.
This is why magic symbols basically exist in a parasitic state.
As for Apollyon, he can support the spatial faults with the aura of chaos, and he also has an entity of order that he can rely on.
That entity is Harbin.
"This kind of binding of one person to one city seems to be very popular in this world?"
Ronan commented in passing.
In Xiacheng, President Ouyang verified his concept with the hardware architecture through Lingbo Network.
In Sakajo, it's the Amaterasu Order. Well, the practice of claiming to be the Kingdom of God and eager to give birth to fantasy species is also recorded in the fantasy school's materials... Haha.
Well, popularity is only relative.
"Not all order frameworks need to be carried by a city."
Ronan's words and thoughts are not always synchronized, and he will avoid some sensitive information, so there will be some jumps in the sound:
"Mr. Apollyon, does the contract signed between Mr. Miqi and you also fall into this category?"
Ronan's eyes fell on the dark priest's robe on Apollyon.
If he read it correctly, the material of this dress must be the so-called "secret contract" that the blood demon once gave him as a card carrier.
From this point of view, is the "agreement under the city" signed by Apollyon and the Lord of the Secret Contract a prison and restriction, or is it a handrail or ladder to help him climb to a new realm?
Apollyon did not answer. He responded in a more direct way:
The color of the priest's robes on his body suddenly became darker and almost no longer reflected light, so that it looked like a dark shadow - the shadow then expanded and engulfed Apollyon entirely.
At this time, the streets mapped by the spatial fault reference were submerged in the dazzling light. In the environment where it was difficult to see with the naked eye, only Apollyon's calm whisper was heard:
“Who is worthy to open the scroll and loose its seals?”
The blood demon sighed longly: "No way!"
The next second, there seemed to be thousands of war drums beating, and the entire space fault resonated with it, but it was difficult to bear. Countless cracks appeared, as if the world had stepped into the stage of great destruction.
Ronan stood in the center of this "world" that was about to be destroyed, trying hard to recall the common sense that this world should have:
