When he opened his eyes and saw the dark and deep ocean, Austin felt numb - sitting opposite was the Archbishop of Poseidon Church! Get it here! Do you still want to let your believers live for two more days?
But now that he's here, Austin has no choice but to bite the bullet and go see what's going on. Unlike before, as soon as he had this thought, his body appeared directly in front of the evil god.
Okay, you don’t need to swim over there at all, right?
The five-eyed evil god changed his half-dead look from the previous few times. He raised his arms flat by his side and spread his fingers. The fine scales on his body opened and closed as if he could breathe. Three of the five eyes on his face opened. The remaining two bottom ones are still tightly closed.
Austin was sizing up the evil god in front of him when suddenly there was a strange "crunching" sound, as if a monster in the abyss was grinding its teeth.
After hearing this voice, Austin's hair stood on end, and he subconsciously wanted to leave, but the evil god produced a huge gravitational force out of thin air, holding him firmly in place and unable to move.
"An abnormality in the beloved has been detected, and automatic analysis has been started." The voice came from the evil god's body.
"ah?"
"After the analysis, it is determined that the abnormality is number 0011, and we are ready to start the emergency plan 00131 pre-detection."
The Austinites were stunned.
Something is wrong, nine out of ten is wrong.
He has never heard words other than issuing or completing the oracle, and why does the tone of this voice sound a bit like the alchemy machines Henry is tinkering with? It's completely different from the previous feeling of being cold and feeling alive.
Austin instinctively felt that the situation was very bad, but at this time, he was no different from the fish on the chopping board. He could only watch the "breathing" speed of the scales on the five-eyed evil god getting faster and faster, as if something was brewing.
So desperate——
"It is detected that the beloved meets the prerequisites, emergency plan 00131, faith fission, ready to start."
"Huh?" Austin didn't understand at all.
"What fission?"
A very ominous premonition came to mind - not a sense of danger, but a person's most basic survival instinct.
"Emergency Plan 00131, Fission of Faith, activated."
The five-eyed evil god in front of him opened the first eye above him, and a strange evil light shot out from the pure black pupils, completely covering Austin in it.
Then came the pain, the ultimate pain.
The pain that tore apart the flesh came like a tide, washing over Austin's body, like countless venomous bees biting every inch of muscle.
Austin wanted to scream, but all the muscles in his body were out of his control. He couldn't even pronounce any syllable smoothly, and could only squeeze out an unpleasant "ho ho" sound from his throat like a dying beast.
Tens of seconds later, the pain eased, and Austin's chaotic consciousness became clear for a moment, but then he was swallowed up by even greater pain.
The feeling this time was a little different from before. This time Austin only felt like he was split in half from the middle with a giant axe.
And if there were other people here, they could see that he was indeed cut in half vertically by a water line. No blood or internal organs flowed out of the cut area, but countless bright white lights emerged from the body, entangled and surrounded, and gradually formed the other half of the body.
When the pain ended, two Austins appeared in front of the Five-Eyed Evil God.
In reality, Austin's eyes gradually regained their vitality, and Bishop Kejia's original solemn expression also relaxed.
"How? What's the gain?" he asked.
Austin smiled and nodded, sincerely thanking: "Thanks to His Majesty the Archbishop for your help. I fully understand the price I need to pay."
Kejia nodded and said, "That's good. It seems that the choice to lend this artifact is the right one."
"I'm not used to oweing favors to others. Your Majesty, the Archbishop, or does the Poseidon Church need me to do something?"
Kejia showed a thoughtful expression and said after a moment: "I heard that the military department has arranged a week's administrative leave for you. Let's wait until you come back from the nursing home and have a good rest for a few days."
Austin nodded slightly, suddenly felt dizzy and his body shook slightly.
Of course, this subtle movement could not escape Ke Jia's eyes. He waved his hand: "Don't worry, this is a side effect of the artifact. You have completed too many oracles, and the side effects are slightly bigger for you. You can rest for a while. Can……"
"How's it going? Do I need to take you to the hospital?" Austin felt someone shaking his hand in front of his eyes.
Open your eyes wide and you will see that there is only one-third of the sun left on the sea level. The orange-red glow dyes the entire sea into golden red, and there are dense spots of light shining between the undulating waves.
Austin was not interested in admiring the scenery. He turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and found that he still couldn't see his face clearly.
"Are you feeling better? Did you suddenly faint just now? You didn't respond when I called you." The man waved his hand again and asked.
Austin pushed his hand away impatiently. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly found that his face gradually became clearer.
It's him.
It's another Austin.
It was a strange situation, but the danger perception was not triggered, and the weariness deep in Austin's heart also drove him to put down the half-raised pistol - too lazy to kill him.
"Who are you?" Austin asked.
"My name is also Austin. To make it easier to distinguish, you can call me by my last name and call me Doug." The man replied, "As you can see, I am you, the other you."
"What's going on?" Austin wanted to stand up, but was unable to do so.
Doug scratched his head and said helplessly: "It's a long story, but you can definitely trust me. After all, one must be confident."
Austin didn't react at all to this cold joke, and his subconscious told him to stand up first.
He grabbed the hem of Doug's clothes with both hands and stood up slowly with the help of his strength. He looked straight at "himself" in front of him, and then a burst of unknown anger arose, and he fiercely moved towards that familiar face that couldn't be more familiar. fist.
Doug received the punch without any defense, staggered back, stood up unsteadily and smiled: "Don't be so angry, we are the same person, and a family can't have internal strife."
"You fart." Austin cursed. His mind was so messed up now that he had a splitting headache just thinking about it, so he just wanted to throw this annoying guy in front of him into the sea.
"Don't be impulsive yet, let's talk." Doug put his hands on Austin's shoulders and pushed him to sit down on the steps.
"First of all, because you were about to reveal your secret, I separated you and took away the most negative parts of your body and spirit. Now you are the most authentic favored one of Poseidon Miles."
"how about you?"
"Me? I am now the favored one of the evil god, the contract carrier of Marianne, and the owner of Benjamin's Voyage Diary." Doug smiled, as if it was a good thing to endure so many negative traits, "By the way, as a way to help you prevent disasters In exchange for the rewards and necessary conditions, I also took away your current 13 oracle gifts. In the future, the oracles we need to complete and the gifts we obtain will also be calculated independently."
"Emergency plan 00131?" Austin seemed to remember something and asked with a sudden worsening headache.
"Yes, that's right." Doug clapped his hands, "The prerequisite for starting this plan is to have certain schizophrenic traits, and we happen to have it, so that's it."
"In other words, are we schizophrenics now?" Austin found it difficult to accept that this person had become mentally ill after returning from a good trip to the sea.
"Do you have to belittle yourself like this?" Doug seemed dissatisfied with this statement, "How about calling it 'One Body, Two Souls', what a mysterious and pretentious name, but it just occurred to me that there seems to be another name Even better idea….”
Listening to this guy's nagging, Austin felt his head hurt even more, and he could only quickly change the subject: "What about the body? Where is our body now?"
The setting sun on the sea level has not moved for a long time, and the waves seem to only rise and fall following a fixed pattern. There are no seabirds or ships on the huge sea surface - everything indicates that this world is not normal. Austin didn't even bother to guess that this place was probably just a fantasy created by him.
"Oh, don't you feel uncomfortable now? You are weak and have a headache, which means that the control of your body is in my hands." Doug spread his hands helplessly, "There is no way, you have been unconscious for too long, the carriage Maybe the old man here will see the flaw."
Austin was a little angry and cursed: "You bastard! Get out of my body!"
"No, no, no." Doug shook his right index finger and smiled, "My dear friend, this is 'our' body. I think it will naturally rotate with you when the time is right."
"you--"
"As for now, just hang out here for a while, I have to deal with that old guy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Austin was the only one left on the beach again.
"...That's it, I'll send you to a nursing home now." Kejia patted Doug on the shoulder.
"……Thank you for your help."
Kejia did not reply, but made a wave gesture on his chest and said: "The sea god is above, and the waves will protect you."
The carriage did not know when it changed direction. Instead of continuing to the Inquisition, it headed towards the Naval Sanatorium in the opposite direction in the last ray of light.
Ryan looked out the window at the sun gradually sinking into the sea level, and tapped the table with the five fingers of his right hand.
Before he could get impatient, a man in gray robes finally opened the door and walked in.
"How's it going?" Ryan didn't look at him, his eyes wandering on the sea.
"It has been taken away by the Poseidon Church. The direction of the carriage is towards the Inquisition."
"Yes." Ryan stopped typing and turned to look at the man in gray robe, "Has it been dealt with completely?"
"It's clean. Everyone involved in this matter has shut up." The man in gray robe laughed dryly, "Forever."
Ryan shook his head and clenched his right hand into a fist. The man in gray robe shook slightly and then exploded, scattering ashes all over the ground.
"It's done now."
