"Dear Astrologer... We have given wrong instructions to our believers, but is it correct?"
Under the void, a believer dressed like a wanderer said to the leader in his mind.
"Not long ago, during the peaceful era, Orihato and a few others planned a plan to carve our runes on the earth. Do you know why it failed?" The astrologer seemed to be just an unspectacular person. An old man in his fifties, he touched the believer's forehead affectionately and said, "Because they don't have an accurate judgment of our strength, they are too arrogant and underestimate the resistance. If we want to stand out like this, then We must make those most terrible enemies realize that we are not alone.”
"We're not the only ones?"
"Yes, child, I have received the oracle. In addition to us, there are several different false gods competing for a position in this world, summoning believers who fit their own 'wavelength'. They are similar to us, but they are They are ignorant people who have been bewitched and have completely embarked on a wrong path. The spirits of those who have believed in other false gods have been corrupted and there is no room for salvation. Therefore, let them be eliminated on our behalf, and We just need to cultivate and develop ourselves, we need to settle, and this only takes time under the guidance of God.”
"I understand, Your Excellency."
"No, no, no, I am just an ordinary old man. It is our gods who should be respected."
The astrologer smiled and looked up at the huge hole.

Lu Ning drove to the coordinates of the Silent Pagoda. That is a tall tower rising from the ground. If you take a photo of it, you will find that you have taken a photo of yourself looking down from a high place, and the expression is weird and terrifying. Everyone who tries to take the photo and sees the photo will express it. Symptoms of panic and hysteria.
The Silent Pagoda is a spiral tower. Its twisting angle has even exceeded the scope of a tower. It is simply a giant tree that has grown crooked. When approaching the base of the tower within 500 meters, no sound can be made. Any behavior that makes sound will be punished according to the sound level. It has been determined that the minimum standard of punishment is a sound exceeding 30 decibels, and a sound exceeding 60 decibels will directly cause death by an explosion in the head.
Unfortunately, the person who originally recorded the file did not have time to get closer to see the situation at the top of the tower. Just testing the killing conditions of the Silent Pagoda cost several lives. The inability to take pictures also made it impossible to conduct subsequent research. In the end, only one target location was recorded, and only this was reliable. After all, the size of the Silent Pagoda cannot be moved casually.
Lu Ning spent three days approaching the location of the Silent Pagoda. Due to her previous experience, she parked her car far away and did not go there immediately. Instead, she looked around. If that group of believers indeed worshiped the tower as their god, they would definitely not all leave, at least there would be traces of people around.
The Silent Pagoda is located in the center of a group of small towns. Most of the surrounding areas are plains and gentle slopes. There are no mountains. The people in the small town have long fled because of the doomsday. This place is not suitable for living when monsters are everywhere. However, Lu Ning walked around the two towns for a while, but found that he didn't see a single monster.
She opened the map of mountains and rivers and took a look at the ink dots marked on it. However, there was not a single ink dot in the nearby town, which meant that no one she had met before was nearby. Lu Ning put the pictures away, feeling a little strange in her heart. She originally planned to meet a few "old acquaintances" here and settle the unfinished accounts before, but now it seems that is not the case. thing.
Are those believers so low-key?
In Lu Ning's impression, the group of people were all those who wanted to cause trouble no matter what. Although they had become a lot more honest after being annihilated last time, now that they have found their "god", shouldn't they be proud again? ? Just like the people she captured at the base.
In the third town, when Lu Ning drove by, [Requiem] suddenly saw some dense life in his field of vision. After the apocalypse, the life and death in deserted places slowly dissipate, and usually nothing can be seen. Lu Ning started to follow this intensive anger. After walking about two hundred meters, she saw some people who were well-dressed and wearing masks on their faces. They were walking in a hurry, and when they occasionally communicated with each other, they took out notebooks from their pockets and talked to each other with pen and paper. No one made any sound.
This group of people does not have the sense of distortion that the Distortion Point believers have. Lu Ning followed them invisible for a while and found that they looked more like people who were engaged in research and basically did not waste time on unnecessary things. But when she saw what was written on the paper, she felt that this group of people did have the madness of believers.
The content communicated by these people was basically about thinking, exploration, towers and the world, using some terms that Lu Ning could not understand, and even some drawn symbols. The one section she could barely understand was about asking about climbing a tower.
In their words, towers also have levels. This conversation is about a person who has reached the sapphire level asking someone on the ruby level how to continue climbing up. Judging from the content of their conversation, the "tower" will give people a test, and those who pass the test will be rewarded with the knowledge given by the tower. Each time you continue to climb one level, you will be able to uncover more secrets of the world. The curtain allows us to glimpse a deeper reality.
This crazy thirst for knowledge is actually different from the worship of gods by Aberration Point believers. Lu Ning could see that one of the two sides was of a religious nature and the other was of a scientific research nature. Unfortunately, they both followed almost the same path.
This must not be the location of the gods worshiped by believers. She, or the entire base, was given false information by believers. This group of crazy guys can still have the sense to use such a diversionary method. It seems that there are still a few leaders. People live well.
Lu Ning withdrew from the activities of this group of people. The researchers probably included the group of people that the director she knew before had left with them. Although these people are different from believers, they are more dangerous when they have the knowledge and logic to promote these dangerous knowledges. Haven't she figured out how to deal with such a large number of people? Kill them all? Although Lu Ning was not afraid of killing people, he had no intention of causing such a big killing on his own.
She walked back to her car and reached out to pull the car door, but when she touched the door handle, her fingers paused slightly and her body turned to the side. She heard a gunshot in her ears, and a bullet fired ten centimeters in front of her. Rowed across.
"who?"
"Haha, haha... I didn't expect it to be such a little girl..."
A hand holding a gun poked out from the back seat of the car. A pair of eyes filled with deep hatred were revealed among the dirty, knotted hair and dirt on the face. However, Lu Ning glanced over and saw that he had never seen this person before, let alone when he had enmity with him.
"Did you admit the wrong person?"
"Wrong person? Hahahahaha!" The man laughed loudly, "I have carefully tested it, and I will never admit the wrong person... You are the person I am looking for! It's great, you actually ran there by yourself Come to such a deserted place!"
Lu Ning noticed that this man had some diamond-shaped scale-like protrusions starting from his neck. The deep and shallow ravines were particularly conspicuous because of the mud on his neck. His fingers were somewhat slender, covered with vein-like ridges, and the nails on his fingertips were like chicken claws, thick and sharp.
"who are you?"
"Idiot! Who would ask such a question in a life-or-death situation!" The man kicked open the back seat door and jumped out of the car quickly. With a wave of his hand, a cold light flashed through. Lu Ning raised her hand and pulled out Bailu. Wei Shuang blocked his knife, but the sword edge did not cut off his seemingly random meat cleaver.
"Hehe..." This beggar-looking guy let out a cold laugh, "I know you are very capable, otherwise you wouldn't be able to ruin my good deeds. But no matter how capable you are, you can't beat me now!"
With a strong force on his hand, Lu Ning felt that he was outmatched and took two steps back. The man immediately rushed forward and struck him with a knife. Lu Ning swung her sword and stabbed his wrist, intending to force him to retreat, but after cutting his clothes, a row of sparks flew out.
"how--"
The other party didn't dodge at all, and received a blow from Lu Ning. At the same time, the knife hit Lu Ning's chest. Fortunately, she reacted in time and took a step back to make room, otherwise she might not have been disemboweled.
【Quiet】actually had no reaction to the opponent's attack.
This is not an attack disguised as another method. The sharp knife is the most basic threat and will definitely trigger Jing Ming's counter-injury ability. Lu Ning wiped it with her thumb. The sharp knife just now did hurt her. It was not serious, but it is worthy of vigilance. .
"Look at how surprised you are... Is it inconvenient to only have one hand?" He smiled twistedly and raised the pistol in his hand, "You didn't expect it, right? It's just a broken knife and a pistol. Can you be driven to a dead end? I was like this at the beginning, who could have thought of it? Who could have known? Fortunately... the end has come, and that damn woman failed to pursue me! I am still lucky, such a world can allow me Let’s show off our skills again!”
"Are you...Liao Hongli?" Lu Ning slowly guessed the other party's identity.
"Hehe, hehe, you really know me. Now you should understand why I want-"
A red electric light instantly penetrated his abdomen, and Lu Ning's figure appeared five meters behind Liao Hongli. He shook the sword in his hand and turned around.
The lightning burned a big hole in Liao Hongli's body, but there were no internal organs inside. Instead, a large amount of caked meat was turning. A large amount of granulation sprouted from the wound, filling it in an ugly way, and then a layer of purple grew. The green film serves as the skin of the meat. Liao Hongli turned around and coughed, his expression obviously a little surprised.
"Can you hurt me?"
"I can still kill you." Lu Ning returned the sword to its sheath, held it in his hand, and purple electric light surged out of his palm, "Do you think that whatever ability you have acquired makes you strong? You can break my defense, but you can capture me The speed?”
Liao Hongli opened his mouth, and then his expression turned sinister again: "I will definitely kill you! I will definitely...make you pay the price. If I need to pay more, if I want to continue..."
He stretched out his hand and tore off his clothes that had a big hole in them, revealing his dirty upper body, which was covered with various tumors that had been repaired several times, but the most eye-catching one was a piece on his heart. The square thing had some blood vessel-like things extending around it and pierced into his heart, slowly beating with his heartbeat.
No...is it really still a heartbeat?
The purple tendons condensed into a vague avatar on the square. This avatar was somewhat similar to Lu Ning, but Liao Hongli definitely didn't come to the door based on the avatar, but something similar to inspiration.
The troublesome thing is that eyes began to grow on his body, thick pieces of flesh began to cover the surface of his body, and some proliferated limbs had no bones and hung down beside him, but Liao Hongli didn't look uncomfortable at all.
He has been identified as the "Corruption", and now he is heading for further corruption. Lu Ning could see that his body was developing in a direction that could compete with hers, and the thing on his chest might be the culprit. His body has been transformed into a state similar to that of a Type A virus individual, and he is no longer a human being.
Is he seeking revenge, or has revenge corrupted him? Lu Ning clenched the purple thunder in her hand, stretched out a finger and pointed at Liao Hongli.
"Die!" Liao Hongli raised his hand and fired, but the purple lightning flashed and bounced the bullet away. The two rushed towards each other with a tacit understanding. Lu Ning waved the purple thunder in his hand and launched the banishment trial, cutting off The sharp knife in Liao Hongli's hand felt resistance the moment it hit his body.
At the same time, Liao Hongli pulled out a second knife from the back of his belt, stabbed it out, and cut a bloody mark across Lu Ning's face. This time, Lu Ning also had the idea of exchanging injuries for injuries. He raised his hand and pinched Liao Hongli's neck. In an instant, his head began to turn purple and swollen, and a large amount of thunder and lightning burst out from his head, bringing out The blood from the seven orifices.
"You can't kill me..."
A haunting sound came from his belly. Liao Hongli twisted with force and actually broke his own neck. He punched Lu Ning in the abdomen to knock her back. Then he raised his hand and pulled on the crack in her neck. A slightly smaller one with facial features A bald head sprouted from the abdomen.
"Ahem, your ability is indeed so difficult in any body." Lu Ning covered her stomach and coughed twice. She felt that there should be some bleeding in the internal organs. The other party was no longer a human being, and he could still bypass Jing An's judgment. Indeed It's a tough enemy. But it was killing people like this that would give her a sense of accomplishment.
Liao Hongli did not answer, but continued to rush over, but Lu Ning immediately raised his severed hand, and a cannon barrel protruded from the cuff, and purple rays spurted out. Liao Hongli glared and twisted his body to the side to avoid the rays. But this moment of distraction was enough for Lu Ning to use lightning to get behind him, lift up the hand wrapped with thunder and stab it directly from the back of his heart.
