In the Yanzhao base, Cen Gaifei held the report and fell into deep thought.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Miss Yan pushed open the door and entered, holding a folder in her hand.
"Cen Gaifei, I have seen this report, but what is the final conclusion of those people? Reduction? Isn't this ridiculous? These things have turned many people into monsters. Do you want to say that the monsters are us? The original posture?"
"But the verification results are beyond doubt." Cen Gaifei gently placed the report on the table, "I don't think these monsters have anything in common with humans. When the transformation occurs, they are no longer humans. But restoration is not It says to restore things to their original state, otherwise I think we should restore a bunch of simple substances like carbon and calcium."
"what does that mean?"
"Awakening inner desires, human beings' uncontrolled desires and fantasies create such a reduction effect. Are you satisfied with this explanation?" Cen Gaifei said.
Miss Yan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "But this will still cause a certain degree of confusion. I am not going to announce this result to the base."
"Not only that, we also have to send the data to the capital base. We have to admit that our base lacks the strength to handle this research result." Cen Gaifei stood up.
"Hmm...huh? Do you want to go in person?"
"I wouldn't trust this matter to anyone else. During the time I left, the Yanzhao base got rid of your Yan family. My people here will fully assist." Cen Gaifei said softly.
He started taking stock of his list.
The undefeated army was the superpower that Cen Gaifei chose when he entered. He had actually expected it, and could even be said to be well prepared. This world is just as he thought, and he is not ready to leave this world anymore. The important reason is... boredom.
Unlike Yu Sheng, whose soul is irreversibly polluted, Cen Gaifei is a very self-disciplined person and will never let the pollution accumulate. But he entered another dead end, that is, the more carefully he calculated, the more difficult it became to go to the fifth-level gate. Until one day, when he was thinking, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten the reason why he had to go back.
All that he remembered of his "hometown" was a desolate ruin.
At that moment, all the thinking, planning and even hard work in the past seemed to have turned into a joke. At that moment, Cen Gaifei finally felt tired.
His final calculation was to use the rules of the distribution center to find a land for himself where he could retire in peace and never come back. But now this scene best meets his requirements. He has usurped the power of the Zhao family and occupied half of the Yanzhao base. He truly regards himself as a character in the scene and exerts his own abilities... This ability gives him himself The enhancement given is limited, but it can give unlimited power to others, specializing and improving their power, and all those who are infused with power by him will become a member of his list.
In this way, Cen Gaifei formed a team that he trusted most, and it was also an invincible team. He decided to go to the capital base. No matter what the outcome of this scene was, he would try to escape from the vortex.

The killings caused by the believers began to be contained. Even with the power they have been given, they are only slightly stronger than ordinary superpowers. They rely entirely on numbers and sneak attacks to form an advantage, and after people react and start forming groups, they are not so easy.
There was someone who dared to blast the building with a rocket launcher before, but the others were not so reckless, and the firepower and weapons they brought were not bad either. Even if many superpowers appear in the apocalypse, people still know that most superpowers are not as lethal as picking up a gun and shooting one shot. As for the bodies of superpowers, few can really block a gun.
Lu Ning could hear fierce gunshots coming from around her from time to time, but the three of them didn't care about the situation of the battle. After hearing that Xiao Ronghai had gone to contact the Lanhai Tomb Lantern, Zhao Chenshuang immediately said that he must go over and watch Xiao Ronghai's success or failure.
The place where the Lanhai Tomb Lamp is located has turned into a wetland-like state, with severe moisture. Many grasses and trees similar in shape to reeds but dark in color have grown out of the ground and have reached knee-length. Most of the hourglass-shaped buildings here are low, except for the one in the center that is very tall. Like a lighthouse, an oil lamp with a faint light is burning at the highest point.
Beneath the "lighthouse" was Xiao Ronghai. A group of monsters were besieging him. There was a man standing above the lighthouse with a smile on his face. He was sitting cross-legged next to the Lanhai tomb lamp. Yu Sheng couldn't help but sigh when she saw him. Stunned.
"Ah...Yu Sheng, you are finally back." The man saw the three people coming from a distance, and said hello. The voice was sent closer, and Yu Sheng frowned. There was a strong fishy smell all around, and some shadows were wandering among the grass in the wetland, and the target... also included the three of them.
"Mr. Killer, do you seem to be betraying your trust?" Yu Sheng raised her head and directed her voice towards that person.
"No... our agreement is always valid." The killer smiled softly and glanced at Lu Ning and Zhao Chenshuang, "But the other two... I have dealt with them before, so I need to be a little more cautious."
"I don't remember that we have met." Lu Ning and Zhao Chenshuang said at the same time.
"Of course, because the final result ends with your victory, how can you remember such an inconspicuous loser like me? But I deeply remember your faces in my heart, reminding myself not to forget this Two opponents who are not easy to mess with."
Lu Ning was sure that she had never seen this person before, but since he took the initiative to think so, she would just list him as an opponent.
"This is your goal. This gentleman probably has the same goal, but... he doesn't want to talk to anyone." The killer pointed at the Lanhai Grave Lamp, "I have held it for a while. During this period of time, I couldn't help but become curious. What kind of will does an individual with Type A virus have that drives me to summon monster guardians for it, and what is the purpose of bringing it here? "
"You should know what will happen if this kind of thing is too involved, right?" Zhao Chenshuang said coldly, "You are just an ordinary person, so it's better not to be so curious."
"Curiosity is an emotion that naturally arises after you know more and more things." The killer still smiled, "I can usually suppress my curiosity, but maybe it really has affected me. I can no longer stop myself from thinking about what they are. I have watched some fantasy and movies. At first, I thought those who blindly believed in alien gods were stupid, but now it is my turn. , I finally knew that I couldn’t avoid it.”
"This is not your business." Xiao Ronghai, who had been fighting the monster below for a long time, finally raised his head, "That is my spiritual essence, not yours. You can't swallow it at all."
"Spiritual essence? Is that what you call it? Why?" The killer asked such a question.
"Of course it's because we are here, and what appears there corresponds to us..." Zhao Chenshuang suddenly paused in the middle of her words.
Indeed, every tourist thinks so.
It is a mental image fabricated based on one's own thoughts, one's own spirit, and the darkness in one's own heart. It can also be said to be the spiritual essence. These distorted things are presented to everyone in a concrete image... This is the conclusion that tourists come to.
And as the association between Type A virus individuals and tourists has been confirmed one after another, no one has ever doubted the correctness of this conclusion. But now after being asked by this killer, people like Zhao Chenshuang and Lu Ning who were accustomed to reflection suddenly realized that their thinking was actually guided.
The scene of the distribution center has never been fixed, and any qualities developed by tourists can be counter-designed by the scene of the distribution center. And this kind of confidence in one's own judgment...maybe it will be too?
"What? Can't you answer?"
"It is indeed impossible to answer now." Zhao Chenshuang whispered, "We have not found a direct evidence. Without this evidence, this is just a temporary title."
The killer was a little disappointed.
"This answer doesn't satisfy me. I could have handed over the Lanhai Grave Lamp to you."
"It's not yours either." Xiao Ronghai raised his head sharply, "Get down here!"
There was a sharp tearing sound in the air, as if an invisible spear fell. The killer's expression suddenly changed, and he turned over to avoid the Lanhai grave lamp. Then the space around him became distorted to a certain extent. With a crisp cracking sound, the hook hanging the Lan Hai grave lamp broke instantly. Xiao Ronghai also jumped up from the monster and reached out to grab the handle of the oil lamp!
An arm like a dead branch cut off the oil lamp in mid-air.
"Have you been preparing for a long time? This move?" The killer's voice came again, "In the midst of the siege of monsters, I prepared a plot to get the Lanhai Grave Lamp. I would do the same thing, but do you think I would? Did you notice? You have been unscathed by monsters all morning!"
Lu Ning could see that the arm was not extending from the monster on the ground, nor was there any change in the killer. The arm was connected to the outer wall of the hourglass, replacing the hook that hung the oil lamp before.
"But it doesn't matter! Because the Lanhai Tomb Lamp will not leave this position. To get it, you must come up instead of letting the lamp go back!" the killer shouted, "You can't even hear its sound, right? You What qualifications do you have to say it’s yours?”
"That's just an illusion caused by you being too close to it."
Xiao Ronghai's back stretched out wings composed of flames. He doesn't need to fall down. If it's true as the killer said, then he can also take the initiative to get closer.
The superpower he chose can control the basic elements. The four elemental balls of earth, water, fire and wind floating around him are the intuitive expression of his ability when it is released. But only he knows if the Lanhai Tomb Lantern is really his superpower. To show it concretely, there is information that no one knows but yourself.
——The fifth elemental ball, the part represented by "ether".
"You want evidence? Then I will prove it to you."
With a sneer, Xiao Ronghai rushed towards the killer and Lan Hai's grave lamp. The flame in the oil lamp immediately began to jump, as if cheering, cheering that the other self was finally willing to accept it.
"Interesting, this is indeed the moment I have been waiting for, the answer I have been looking for for a long time." Seeing him approaching, the killer did not panic. Instead, he stretched out his hand to touch the ball in the Lanhai Tomb Lantern. flame.
The appearance of the oil lamp is made of light pottery, and inside it is deposited with lamp oil as clear as water that will never be consumed. The bright fire is constantly beating, and under the influence of the wind driven by the two people reaching out to it at the same time, it becomes More and more eye-catching.
Have all the elements in place? No, with a slight swing of Xiao Ronghai's fingers, an elemental ball that could not be seen by ordinary vision floated towards the Lanhai Grave Lamp.
Zhao Chenshuang and Lu Ning glanced at Yu Sheng, but this time Yu Sheng did not stop them. The two of them kept an eye on her, and then carefully observed Xiao Ronghai's condition. No one knew what happened during the previous abstinence from killing, nor was it clear how the abstinence from killing failed, but this time there was nothing obstructing the vision between Xiao Ronghai and Lan Hai Fendeng.
The monsters that were still rushing towards Xiao Ronghai howled and scattered away the moment the contact occurred, but within a moment they were all gone. Xiao Ronghai and the killer seemed to be still, firmly attracted by the Lanhai grave lamp. The flames blooming from it changed from red to bright white, and soon spread to the two of them.
A heat like midsummer spread from the center outwards, causing the entire wetland area to quickly become filled with steam. Lu Ning's vision was not affected by this steam. She could clearly see the white flames covering the area. , the bodies of the two people are slowly dissolving, and some grid-like veins spread toward both sides in the form of flames, and then connect.
Among them, the most obvious ones are the four elemental balls that have been hovering around Xiao Ronghai. They are rotating at high speed with two people and one lamp as the center, and the afterimages even form a complete circular orbit. Slowly, their human appearances began to blur, merging towards the lamp.
"He looks like he's going to fail." Zhao Chenshuang raised her sword, "What did you see?"
"Vibrant." Lu Ning was helpless. From Requiem's vision, he could clearly see that Xiao Ronghai's vitality was becoming more and more vigorous. This was a phenomenon caused by his spirit constantly resonating towards the Lanhai tomb lamp. According to common sense, In other words, he should get closer and closer to his own spiritual essence, so that he and Lan Haifendeng can completely identify with each other. But this was obviously not the case. Instead, they were melted by the light and absorbed into the lamp.
Four arms emerged from the flames, with white feathers on the wrists, wings on the back, no facial features, and no male or female body.
The faceless angel reached out and grabbed the four elemental balls that were coiling rapidly, and a cross-shaped halo appeared behind it.
