Chris' death was just the beginning.
To be honest, nothing Chris did was wrong in any way according to the laws of that country. Even if his identity is really unknown, he will not be punished to death. Even the laws of most countries dare not touch the brow of Twelve Quarters, let alone kill a high-ranking minister in Twelve Quarters.
But as far as Zhou Li is concerned, since I have given you many opportunities to reveal your identity and you don't tell me, then you can blame me or not. I will definitely not be able to save your life anyway.
What's more, Zhou Li discovered some clues.
For example, regarding this attack on Tariq, the attitude of most of the churches at the 12th Quarter was ambiguous, which illustrates one issue - timing.
Zhou Li believed in Twelve Hours' determination to destroy humanity, and he believed it from the bottom of his heart. He knew that whether it was the God of Chaos who fought alongside him back then or the God of Elements who seemed to have no regard for worldly affairs, as long as the pollution was still there, they would not give up the idea of destroying mankind. However, they are not completely unanimous internally, at least they disagree on when and what method to use to destroy human beings.
For example, the current twelve quarters are clearly divided into four factions.
Among them, the three brothers, headed by the Goddess of Life, the God of Commerce, and the God of Law, are radicals. They are beings who only want to destroy humans or kill them, and their brain stems and brains are not proportional.
The second one is the moderation faction headed by the God of Chaos, the God of Elements, and the God of Emotions. They haven’t done much action so far, and their attitude is ambiguous. If Zhou Li hadn’t read the information left by the Trail Blazers, He may think that these gods can be fought for, but the fact is that they have been corrupted by the "truth", and it is only a matter of time before humanity is destroyed.
The third faction is the brain-dead faction.
Yes, I’m talking about you, the God of War.
There is also a fourth faction, which is a bit more special.
Dead man sect.
No need to say more about who it is.
In this invisible war against Tariq, Zhou Li seemed to notice that in addition to the participation of the radical gods, there was also another force involved.
A group of... businessmen with roots in major churches.
These people seem to be instigating something, and their identities cannot seem to be revealed. They are obviously very devout to the church where they live, but what they do is full of the style of a commercial church.
However, the commercial church also does not acknowledge their existence.
At first, Zhou Li thought these people were fanatical believers who wanted to avenge Yin Jue, but later Zhou Li discovered that there seemed to be some discrepancies in the facts. Because the behavior of these people is not limited to simple revenge. What they want more is to overthrow Khrinin's regime and take over the country themselves.
He didn't know what the purpose of these people was, nor what faction they belonged to, but he knew that these people were destined to be his enemies.
Because behind them, there is the encouragement of Shankos, the God of Commerce.
Zhou Li believed that as long as the gods wanted to do something, he would never let the gods get their wishes. If the gods don't want to do something, Zhou Li must blow the charge horn and be the first to do it. And this weird organization is also a sore that must be removed for Zhou Li.
After all, the cunning rabbit still has three caves. As a weak warrior, Zhou Li doesn't want to hide more energy in his back.
In Zhou Li's eyes, Tariq is now his back garden No. 3.
Of course, his No. 1 back garden is a twilight forest that has been transformed by Kallis into something similar to an underground fortress, while No. 2 back garden is more magical.
It's Magnum Palace.
"Well, since I have helped you catch the spy and executed him on the spot, I won't disturb you anymore."
Zhou Li clapped his hands and said with satisfaction to Liras on the side: "This kind of person who deceives you under the guise of doing your best is really disgusting. Fortunately, I noticed it early, otherwise I would have lost money."
"You're right."
Liras sighed and glanced at Chris' body with a pity. For this old man, he
In fact, he didn't care about the Twelve Hours of the Herinin regime. If the Goddess of Life hadn't acquiesced to this man's actions, I'm afraid that for the sake of the stability of the Life Church, Lilas would have killed this man first.
"Okay, I won't disturb your research anymore."
Zhou Li looked around. Others did not dare to look at him. When Zhou Li's gaze was caught, they immediately lowered their heads or looked away. After all, Zhou Li's scene just now was too cruel, and Liras's attitude also proved that Zhou Li's cruelty was his prerogative.
As for Chris.
A businessman who smells like copper, even though he is still the minister of Life Church, others don't like him.
"I hope you will not forget the purpose of Life Church."
Zhou Li spoke as if he was reprimanding, but his tone did not sound condescending, "You can make money at any time. You only have one life."
After leaving these pun-intended words, Zhou Li smiled kindly at Lilas, and then left here leisurely.
Is there only one life...
Lilas looked at Zhou Li's back and felt powerless for the first time. As a good old man, Liras has always believed in the principle that no one should be offended. After so many years, relying on the foundation of the Life Church and the leadership of Lilas, the Life Church really has no enemies. But after this incident, Liras began to think about a question.
When the fire starts to burn, who will be the first to be unlucky?
Wall grass.
"solved."
After leaving the Life Church building, Zhou Li took out his communicator and dialed Herinen's phone number, "Your informant is right. There is indeed a problem with the director of the pharmaceutical department in the Life Church. He is most likely from the Commercial Church. .”
"He showed up once three days ago. After my informant completed the personality profile, he found that he had nothing to do with the mainstream personality of the Life Church. I wondered if he was from another church, but I didn't expect it to be true. Let me guess right."
Herining on the other end of the communicator sighed, "This is troublesome. He will cause us a lot of trouble in the future. After all, the Life Church itself is not good at these things. With such people who are proficient in business, we probably can still We need to speed up the production of medicines.”
"You can slow down now."
At this time, Zhou Li spoke.
"Um?"
Herinen was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Did you reveal his identity?"
"almost."
Zhou Li paused and added: "I killed him, even if he is not a spy, he must still be a spy."
Suddenly, Herinen stopped talking. He stared blankly at the setting sun outside the window, not knowing what to say for a while.
"He is not alone, there should be an organization behind him."
At this time, what Zhou Li said attracted Herining's attention.
"organize?"
Helinen frowned, "What organization?"
"A group of businessmen stationed in various churches. The Commercial Church does not recognize them, and they also have a certain status in other churches. These people seem to be instigating those churches that do not want to attack Tariq to join the war, and at the same time help them with advice. And their purpose is most likely to take control of Tariq's regime and overthrow you."
After Zhou Li told his discovery, he thought for a moment and continued: "These people are not recognized by Twelve Moments, but they have the identity of Twelve Moments. They can be said to be a group of capable ghosts. I suspect that these people It’s not just a spontaneous organization.”
"you mean..."
Herinen quickly understood what Zhou Li meant. This organization, which had never appeared before, most likely had the shadow of a god.
"They probably didn't establish it."
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Li expressed his opinion, "If it was really established by the Twelve Hours themselves, they can set up a position similar to an instructor or an external minister in other churches, and they can do these things legitimately. . But they are hiding their identities so much now, probably because of other factors. For example, some gods don’t like these people."
"You feel
, can this be used? "
Herinen and Zhou Li are very similar in some aspects, including their grasp of opportunities.
"A lot of space to use."
Zhou Li leaned against a huge stone pillar with a communicator in his hand and a faint smile on his face. "I will visit the Church of Elements next. If I come to a conclusion, we can find a solution." There’s a way.”
"I will fully cooperate with you."
If it weren't for the fact that it's fun to work with smart people, Zhou Li almost understood what he was going to do as soon as he said it, "You can call on any of Tariq's power of public opinion at any time, and you can also use Tariq's power at the same time. Talk to other churches on behalf of the Rick administration. I can guarantee you that if you want a story to appear, the words you write will be on the front page the next day."
"Okay, wait for my news."
Zhou Li smiled and hung up the communicator. He raised his head, and a magnificent building like superimposed elements appeared in front of him.
Red, blue, bright yellow.
Corresponds to the three elements of fire, water and light.
This time, Zhou Li did not have the whole group look at me like he did when he went to Life Church. Instead, he entered the Elemental Tower from a side passage just like an ordinary tourist.
After entering the Elemental Tower, there is a spacious and bright hall. In the center of the hall are three transparent crystals. In the center of the crystal, the original breaths of the three elements are stored.
Elemental mages and elemental cultists are two different factions. Elemental mages communicate with elemental elves and let them help them cast spells. Some are like Ash in Pokemon, who rely on language (chanting) to direct elemental elves to attack.
The elemental cultists are different. They use the original breath of the elements, which is the purest element before the birth of the elemental elves. These elements are gifts from Asua, the god of elements. Only Asua can command those pure elements.
Therefore, elemental cultists and elemental mages have never been easy to deal with. One believes in God and serves the gods every day. A letter elf, like a licking dog, licks those elemental elves every day. There was even a strange elemental mage with XP who once announced that his lover was the water elemental elf, and he wanted to marry the water elemental elf.
Then he was beaten into a dog by the earth elemental elves who came over.
Therefore, most elemental cultists look down upon elemental mages. They think that they are just a bunch of licking dogs with XP problems. Of course, they also know that they are also dog lickers.
But they are not surprised. Asua is a gentle and knowledgeable girl with eyes, and she is very beautiful.
Just like the Pope of the Church of Elements.
"If you want to visit here, you can just tell me."
When Bai Qin, the red-dressed archbishop of the Church of Elements, learned that there was a brave man downstairs who looked very similar to the brave man and was nervously talking to the three elements, he knew it must be Zhou Li himself. She made a prompt decision, put down the earth element that had begun to take shape in her hand, and quickly came to the hall to find Zhou Li.
"It's okay, I'll just take a look."
Zhou Li withdrew his gaze with some regret. After all, according to the mouths of those elemental mages, these three crystals actually sealed three different elemental girls: the red-haired sister, the blue-haired lolita, and the blond tsundere. Unfortunately, inside Periphery perceives nothing but pure elements.
"What's the purpose of your visit?"
Bai Qin had just finished asking this question, and then she seemed to have thought of something. Her expression froze, she looked around, lowered her voice and asked Zhou Li: "You want to ask about Tariq and Twelve Hours recently, right? ?」
"Can you answer that?"
Zhou Li looked at her and said calmly: "I'm not putting pressure on you, just tell the truth."
"To be honest, I don't really understand."
Bai Qin gave a wry smile. Out of all the twelve moments, apart from the Church of War, which has no brains, the Church of Death, which is already dead, and the Church of Literature, which has no gods to believe in, the attack on Tarik was the least severe. Yes, apart from the Church of Bombing and the Church of Emotions, it is the Church of Elements. So far, the elemental teaching
The only thing that will target Tariq is to reduce the supply of elemental crystals to Tariq. But the problem is that Taric has a high-level substitute called radiance crystal, and there is no need for single-purpose elemental crystals.
"When I learned that the Twelve Quarter Meeting decided to impose sanctions on Tariq, I was still investigating the structure of Crystal Creation, and even Mosk hadn't come back. When I came back, both the vote and the resolution passed the sanctions. We had no choice but to follow Twelve Quarters and leave."
After shaking his head, Bai Qin's face turned a little grim. "If you want to ask who initiated this resolution, I can only say that I don't know. Because this is a secret meeting and no information is retained. Even I can't know it now. Who initiated this resolution and who supported it?"
"It's okay. In fact, what you said is enough. I have another question."
Zhou Li looked at Baiqin, his expression calm, but there was a kind of breathless pressure.
"Don't you want Twelve Hours to be in charge of Tariq?"
Facing Zhou Li's question, Bai Qin was stunned.
After a long time, Bai Qin let out a long sigh and nodded.
"Of course I hope."
