Chapter 58: Spiritual Pollution

Twenty minutes later.

In the middle of the empty square, Asker held a knife in his right hand and a sword in his left hand, standing in the middle of the data fragments on the ground.

Raphael looked at him blankly, as if his expression was frozen.

"Your swordsmanship is wrong." After a long silence, Raphael finally said, "I just monitored your fighting process."

"In the face of such a highly complex battlefield environment, if we want to replicate the effects of your swordsmanship just now, the computing power required has theoretically exceeded the sky... This is not an ability that ordinary people can achieve. It comes from your

The power of extraordinary swordsmanship?”

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Asker sheathed his sword and looked around, "So these are all encryption programs?"

"What's the name of your extraordinary swordsmanship?" Raphael didn't answer, but quickly flew in front of him, looking curious and excited as if a child had seen a beloved toy.

"Is this all?" Ask asked repeatedly.

"If I don't have a name, I'll give it one." Raphael said seriously, "How about calling it 'Laplace Demon Sword'?"

Ask:………………

"I think it's better to call it "The Sword that Must Die for Artificial Intelligence."" Asker narrowed his eyes.

"Haha, I'm kidding." Raphael said with a smile, "That should be all. I have sensed that the connection between the body and us has been restored. Do you want to go out now?"

"Hurry." Ask said.

"Okay." Raphael opened his arms and said with a smile, "Hold me and I will take you out."

Asker solemnly pulled out his long sword.

Then he woke up from the information connection cabin.

"Asker!" Nora quickly helped him up, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I didn't die." Ask understood what she was worried about. "My sanity has not been damaged."

"That's good." Nora breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

"Where's your brother?" Asked.

"They seemed to have found something and went out temporarily." Nora said.

"Your Excellency Ask, Miss Nora." Raphael's voice sounded again. At this time, it was no longer as agile as in the virtual world, but a cold and indifferent female voice:

"Thank you both for your help in cracking the encryption. Please return to the Licinius Building as soon as possible and wait for further notice from us."

"Let's go." After noticing that Raphael was in a bad state at this time, Ask also realized that a plot mission was about to happen, and quickly said to Nora.

"Okay." Nora said seriously, "I will take you out."

A few minutes ago, according to Raphael's analysis of the decrypted incomplete data, information about a certain location was exposed to the priests.

Bishop Varian led the papal guards to the outer city, and the remaining cardinals, together with the pope, were discussing how to deal with Bishop Langdon in the Lateran Palace, and were paying close attention to Varian's field progress.

Even after capturing and subduing Bishop Langdon, the hour hand of Giotto's Bell still stayed where it was. The fact that it did not roll back showed that Raphael judged that the threat had not been eliminated.

The location decrypted by Raphael is located in an abandoned building near the Tiber River in Beicheng District. In the Fourth Age, this place was originally planned to be developed into a commercial complex, but it was abandoned due to a break in the capital chain.

Everyone headed down the passage of the underground garage, and soon found the secret entrance: leading to the subway station at the bottom of the building, which of course was already abandoned at this time.

After rushing into the subway station, everyone discovered that the surrounding subway facilities had been removed and replaced with various biological research equipment. There was even a neat row of petri dishes against the wall. From Exit A of the subway

Stretching all the way to port B, what was inside was either a human being or some kind of half-human, half-tree corpse.

A large amount of information was scattered on the ground. It was obvious that these staff members evacuated in a hurry and only had time to take away important documents. The papal guards rushed to the nearest computer, pulled out the data cable from their temples, and quickly invaded the server here.

.

In the Lateran Palace, the deleted information recovered by Raphael in real time was also fed back to the cardinals.

Ectoplasm Tree Project:

Using a large number of transcendent clones that were on the verge of losing control, "stimulation mutagenesis" was carried out on some tissues of the Sesame Tree.

The purpose is to take advantage of the "evolutionary" characteristics of the sefirot tree and mutate this part of the tissue into a "spiritual tree" that craves spirituality.

The tree of ectoplasm inherits the "pollution" ability of the tree of ectoplasm, and can secrete "ectoplasm" to pollute and create appendages. These appendages will autonomously crave any spiritual creature, and devour and pollute them.

………………

"Get ready to activate level 4 martial law immediately!" Innocent suddenly said loudly before the message had finished scrolling.

The cardinals below all shuddered in fear. Level 4 martial law, corresponding to the level of deterrence, has not occurred for how many years?

In other words, the so-called spiritual tree...

...has been released by Bishop Langdon’s people?

"Raphael!" Innocent stood up, "How many potential ectoplasm polluters are there in Solomon City today?"

Raphael was silent.

The cardinals also held their breath nervously.

A map suddenly appeared on the screen, with dense buildings centered on Solomon City and radiating out in all directions along the streets.

Then, several dark red dots appeared on the map, with blood-red numbers written next to them: 23.

"So far, 23 ectoplasm polluters have been discovered." Raphael typed a video on the screen next to him, which was taken by the urban police officer on duty.

Inside the window was a pedestrian on the roadside, with a frozen face and a sluggish expression. From the neck bone on his back, a translucent figure stretched out, covered with strange branches and vines, and twisted crazily in the air.

Dancing.

The Templars and vigilantes were shooting at him, but the contaminated pedestrian was still walking forward tenaciously and mechanically despite dozens of bullets in his body.

"Currently, a total of 23 cases of ectoplasmic contaminants have been confirmed." Raphael said indifferently, "The Templars and the Sheriff have been notified to deal with it."

Before the bishops present could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Raphael continue:

"Based on the movement routes and contact ranges of these 23 polluters in the last six hours, a total of 28,821 potentially dangerous polluters were identified."

The Solomon map in the center of the screen was instantly covered by countless light red dots. Most of Solomon was dyed red almost instantly.

Bishops:!!!

"Level 4 martial law has been activated, and the city-wide lockdown has begun." Rafael finally said, "But the estimated effect is not optimistic."

"Due to the recent influence of the demonic tide, complex technological devices including anti-magic magnetic fields cannot be used, and related industrial production lines have not yet been restored. Judging from the combat power displayed by the ectoplasm polluters, the Templars holding ordinary gunpowder weapons must suppress them

It is quite difficult to identify the polluter."

"And, in the next 24 hours, the number of second-generation polluters will increase exponentially. At that time, the difficulty of suppression will increase dramatically."

"Raphael." A certain cardinal suddenly asked, "What is the attack tendency of these spiritual polluters?"

"Based on the information left by the other party." Raphael replied, "Out of the desire for spirituality, spiritual polluters tend to attack extraordinary people. The higher the level, the easier it is to be attacked.

attack."

"The second is ordinary humans who have not taken the magic potion, but have ingested a certain amount of spirituality through various channels on a daily basis."

"Celestine, what do you mean?" Innocent asked seriously.

"The human purists represented by Bishop Langdon." Celestine replied, "Their purpose of creating and spreading the tree of ectoplasm is undoubtedly to eliminate extraordinary beings and thereby purify mankind."

"If the ectoplasmic tree attacks all living organisms indiscriminately and irreversibly contaminates the target like the primordial tree, how can they possibly achieve their purpose of 'purifying humanity'?"

Celestine said in a deep voice: "I suggest capturing a polluter immediately for emergency experiments."
