Time has stood still.
Eluma felt the woman's eyes falling on her, it was an indescribable presence. At this moment, Eluma's consciousness was completely deprived of her. She seemed to have fallen into a "zero" world, with no existence except for the ubiquitous nothingness.
However, Eluma did not panic or have any fear. She was just floating quietly in this endless "zero" world, feeling the purest kindness from this world.
Yes, kindness.
"I don't have any ill will towards you."
The voice sounded again, but it was different from the voice of a woman in the real world. When the sound sounded, a trace of color appeared in the world, suddenly smeared into the nothingness.
"You like reading books, right?"
That color was a book without a name. It appeared out of nowhere and fell into Eluma's hands, giving her a touch. Eluma raised her book and stared at the white paper without any characters.
"I have no plans to bring you mysteries, but they are still pursuing me, and the blunter my words are, the more skin I reveal."
An ethereal voice floated in Eluma's ears, bringing her "true knowledge."
"Three children know the truth about the world. One goes crazy, one is ready to face the truth, and the other wants to struggle in fear."
"Yingnan is like a rice field, a trap for rabbits. A madman is looking for you. He wants you to join him and make you him."
"Now, you and the brave have created a fourth child. Shape him, protect him, and let him become hope."
"Remember, Eluma."
The sound gradually dimmed, as if an invisible force pushed Eluma away from the edge of the world. At the last moment, Eluma heard the voice's advice.
"You are the cure for everything in this matter."
Buzz~~~
The bell in Yingnan rang, heralding the arrival of the afternoon. Countless brilliant colors appeared in front of Eluma's eyes, and then gradually calmed down, interweaving into the light blue living room that she and Zhou Li had decorated. After the bell rang for the third time, Eluma stretched out her hand and picked up the book beside her.
A blank book, as if waiting to be written.
Wait a moment……
Eluma, who had escaped from the ethereal state just now, seemed to have thought of something. She put the book aside, took a deep breath, and then covered her cheeks with her hands. A crimson color gradually climbed up Eluma. ears.
What a fourth child...
*************************************************
"Loading!"
After flicking the car and parking the car, Zhou Li shouted at the arsenal manager who had already prepared: "Your commander Luo Ya just gave you an order, I'm here to pick up the goods!"
"receive!"
After quickly confirming Zhou Li's identity, the manager immediately started the mechanical device on the side. After a sound of gears operating, Zhou Li's trunk was filled to the brim with gunpowder and launching devices. After the mechanical device stopped operating, Zhou Li stepped on the accelerator, and the magic power engine roared instantly.
When he returned to the high ground, there was less than three minutes left. Not far away, the shield of the cathedral was already crumbling. Every time the huge bone rod landed on the shield, it caused ripples and an overwhelming sound of friction.
Luo Ya took down the explosives from the trunk with ease, and while assembling the alloy parts, he said to Zhou Li: "Detective Folds, the yield of these explosives is equivalent to a full blow from a demigod-level strongman, but Due to our own professional issues, the loss of launching at this distance will degrade it into a brilliant-level attack, so..."
After tightening the straps, Luo Ya stood up and said to Zhou Li with determination: "Please tell my daughter and wife after this incident that I love them very much."
Facing Luo Ya who stuck a flag on his forehead, Zhou Li quickly stretched out his hand to hold him and said quickly:
"Don't rush to die, we have another way."
"There is no need to persuade me, Mr. Zhou Li."
Luo Ya shook his head. At this moment, Zhou Li saw how powerful this man was. "A brilliant-level attack can't hurt a monster of this size at all. I just calculated it. Only bombing in front of him can do it." To inflict heavy damage on a monster, attacking the back has no effect at all.”
"oh."
Zhou Li nodded, and then hit Luo Ya on the back of the head with a slap in the face. In shock, Luo Ya collapsed softly on the ground and lost consciousness.
It definitely doesn't make sense to deal with this kind of axial reasoning. We can only talk about physics.
After taking off the weapon that was very similar to the rocket launcher on Earth from Roja's body, Zhou Li put it on his shoulder, then picked up Roja's communicator and asked the church:
"Let me confirm again, is your shield generator self-destructing with enough power?"
The so-called residual self-destruction means that the shield generator has a hidden energy on its back, which can release a shock wave at the moment when the shield finally breaks, knocking back the enemy and leaving the crowd inside with a chance to escape.
After once again confirming that the church was operating this kind of residual self-destruction device, Zhou Li ignored the other party's doubts and requests, but hung up the communication, half-knelt on the platform, and adjusted the launcher.
Then the church was targeted.
When the trigger was pulled, the dazzling fire suddenly engulfed everything in its path, including the giant skeleton. In an instant, the skeleton giant fell into the sea of fire, and the huge shock wave directly rushed its body towards the shield. Staggering, the skeleton giant fell on the shield that was directly hit by the flame explosion and was about to self-destruct.
With another terrifying roar, the church's shield emitted a dazzling blue light, with the residual warmth and burning of gunpowder. The skeleton giant accepted this greeting from gunpowder and magic with his face.
Shatter, burst, explode.
The powerful impact of the two explosions caused horrific trauma to the skeleton giant. The constantly shattering bones caused the giant to kneel on the ground and continued to disintegrate itself. He let out an angry roar, but it didn't help the collapse at this time. Because a black mist has filled his body, preventing the recovery of those severely damaged bones.
In the end, the giant couldn't support his body and fell straight onto the church. The church was completely shattered by this time, engulfed in a sea of fire and a pile of broken bones. The people hiding in the underground shelter were trembling. The two thunderous bombings just now made these believers who had been praying forget everything.
Looking at the skeleton giant that was gradually being swallowed up by the flames and whose body was in pieces, Zhou Li squinted his eyes and fixed his gaze on a piece of paper that gradually emerged among the remains of the skeleton giant. With a surge of black mist, Zhou Li quietly put the paper into his arms. He walked up to Roya, patted his face, and woke him up.
"Mr. Folds..."
Although he had just been hit hard by Zhou Li, and he immediately lost consciousness. But Roja did not attack immediately. On the contrary, he forced himself to calm down and looked at the skeleton giant not far away.
When he saw the skeleton giant lying in the ruins of the church, he seemed to understand something, smiled bitterly, and then said to Zhou Li with grateful eyes: "Thank you, Mr. Folds."
?
This time, Zhou Li was really confused.
Aren't you from Yingnan? Why do you always like to apologize and thank others when you have nothing to do?
Don't you bow?
In order to maintain his image, Zhou Li did not ask, but replied in a calm tone: "You're welcome, this is a citizen's duty. And I also caused a second damage, which can't be said to be harmful." How nice.”
So as a non-citizen, should I be corrupt or should I be embezzled?
"No, your move was the right one."
Roja was slightly emotional. In fact, he had planned to use the secondary aftermath of the large shield to attack, but because the rules of the Templar profession "must not harm the country," Roja quickly gave up on this plan. Plan, even if this plan has the highest success rate.
Therefore, if Zhou Li hadn't knocked himself unconscious, the outcome of this incident would most likely have been his own death while only severely injuring the skeleton giant. There will be more variables, and whether the people under the church can survive is also a question. Therefore, Luo Ya, who has always been upright, made no secret of his appreciation and gratitude to Zhou Li for this detective who took on such heavy pressure and made the most correct decision at a critical moment.
After analyzing why he wanted to thank Luo Ya through his words, Zhou Li nodded with a smile, turned away from his seriousness, and said to Luo Ya in a relaxed tone: "In this case, I am responsible for these post-war losses. Don’t we need to compensate?”
"Of course, you are the hero of this incident, and we cannot ask the hero to compensate for the losses."
At this time, the fourth team of Templars arrived belatedly. Facing the captains of the four teams who were about to hand over to him, Luo Ya saluted Zhou Li, then arranged for a military vehicle to escort Zhou Li home and then went to the church to carry out the aftermath.
With the sound of braking, Zhou Li returned to the small building he liked very much. When he came to the door and was about to take out the key, Zhou Li suddenly took a step back. In an instant, black mist sprang up and enveloped the corridor.
"What's this?"
The black mist lifted up the box that suddenly appeared at the door. Zhou Li looked at the beautifully packaged golden box and commanded the black mist to cover it with a solemn expression. Soon, Zhou Li's eyebrows relaxed slightly.
It's pure gold and valuable.
"just kidding."
Zhou Li smiled, and the black mist's detection told him that there was only an ordinary book inside. He took the pure gold gift box, then took out the key, opened the door, and entered the living room.
"You're back? How's things going?"
Eluma was still sitting in the wicker chair, and her swaying look was really interesting. She stretched out her hand and waved it, and her bare smooth forearm drew a bright ripple in the air, which was very beautiful.
"Well, it's solved."
Zhou Li nodded, walked to the wicker chair, and placed the pure gold gift box on the table with the tea set aside. Then Zhou Li stretched out and threw himself directly on the sofa.
Then, Eluma spoke, and her first words silenced Zhou Li.
"Zhou Li, an indescribable voice communicated with me just now."
"Cough cough...cough cough cough"
Zhou Li choked himself to death with a sip of black tea. He put down the tea cup and asked quickly: "What did you say? What indescribable sound? What happened while I was away?"
Afterwards, Eluma told Zhou Li everything that had just happened completely, without any omissions. The words "the fourth child you and the brave created" made her blush with embarrassment. Any waves.
After listening, Zhou Li fell into a long silence.
"This guy is smart."
Picking up the tea cup, Zhou Li's face returned to a calm look. He looked at the mellow red tea under the light and analyzed: "She should be avoiding something, so she can't tell you the truth directly. But she should I guessed that you would tell me everything, so there were a lot of seemingly disorganized words mixed in."
"At the beginning, she showed that she had no ill intentions and told you that she knew you liked reading, which proved that she had paid attention to you."
Gently shaking the black tea in his hand, Zhou Li continued: "I can't tell the truth directly because someone is chasing her. This is a reminder that there are enemies monitoring her and you, and it also reminds me to analyze the truth. And no words.”
After drinking the black tea in one gulp and blinding the gods in the sky with a snap of his fingers, Zhou Li looked at the wordless book in Eluma's hand and said: "Three children, if I guessed correctly, the corresponding Those are the three books of creation.”
"The madman should be the book of ignorance and incomprehension, the one who is ready to face the truth should be the book of omniscience and omnipotence, and the one who is struggling in fear is, as I expected, the book of half-knowledge."
"The rice fields are Yingnan, and the rabbits are you and me."
As if he had become a real detective, Zhou Li's analysis was very meticulous, "She is reminding us that Yingnan is a trap."
"The madman is looking for us. In other words, this trap is set by the Book of Ignorance. He wants to assimilate us and let us join the ranks of the Lezi people."
"As for the next few sentences..."
Zhou Li frowned and said uncertainly: "Inspire us to defeat ignorance? Create the future?"
After listening to Zhou Li's analysis, Eluma tilted her head, feeling an inexplicable sense of disobedience. But her attention quickly focused on the answer Zhou Li analyzed just now, and she forgot about this sense of dissonance.
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, Zhou Li seemed to have caught something and took out the paper that the giant skeleton in his arms had dropped. When he looked at the paper carefully, he discovered that the paper, which was as white as white jade, was made of bones. Engraved on it is a name and a text similar to a biography.
"Mr. Bones."
"The executioner wakes up underground and embeds the bones left by the innocent souls in his own body. With ridiculous resentment, he will destroy the gospel that judged him and enter hell."
