"You see, we all have ulterior motives."
Raising the tea cup in his hand, Zhou Li said with a hearty smile and a gentle voice: "There is no poison in your tea, only fragrant tea for comfort. When I killed your remains just now, I didn't kill you completely. , but left behind the runes for capture.”
Looking at Anya, who was still able to speak as usual even though her body was dead, Zhou Li's eyes flashed with a chill, "Don't you think it's a little inefficient for us to communicate like this?"
"You're stalling for time, I know."
Anya's face could no longer express any expression. If Zhou Li hadn't used the power from the disaster, her body would have collapsed long ago. "Me too."
"You're looking for my location, right?"
Looking at the smiling boy in front of her, Anya lamented his youth in her heart, and said in a calm tone: "You have been delaying, trying to find me by following my breath. But unfortunately, your idea is wrong. .”
"Location means nothing to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Li's expression suddenly froze. The body in front of him collapsed instantly with the sound of fine sand flowing, and the power of disaster that he originally penetrated into Anya's body also dissipated.
Location...
Zhou Li stopped Arthur Morgan who was trying to refill his gun. He stood up, walked to where Anya once was, stretched out his hand, and a halo from the God of Life slowly fell on the fine white dust.
The Black Emperor's power is simple and crude, and Zhou Li can use it easily on weekdays. The power of natural disasters is rather strange and its usage is a bit complicated, so Zhou Li usually uses this power directly and rarely uses these abilities. Moreover, Zhou Li in this life rarely chooses to take action himself, so there is no need to take risks if the legion can crush him to death.
But this does not mean that Zhou Li will not use the ability of the Calamity. After all, in a sense, the Calamity is more suitable for Zhou Li than the Black Emperor. After all, the Black Emperor is a tyrant anyway, and most of his abilities are straightforward, but disasters and natural disasters are different. The treacherous level of disaster is something that people have always feared.
But now, Zhou Li has activated the power from the disaster—the natural disaster.
The basic logic of the calamity profession is "the power of calamity", that is, when others fear or respect Zhou Li, Zhou Li will get the power of calamity from the other person. The power of disaster can steal the abilities of gods and turn them into natural disasters. The power of disaster consumed by natural disasters is related to the connection established between the corresponding gods and Zhou Li.
For example, the Fantasy Disaster, which is the power of the God of Literature, Zhou Li can release this natural disaster by paying only 500 Disaster Power. Because the relationship between the God of Literature and him can be said to be a life-and-death relationship, and the relationship is very good, so even if he is dead, he can give him some strength, and it is not a big problem anyway.
Another example is the goddess of life. Her relationship with Zhou Li is very bad, extremely bad. Therefore, Zhou Li had to pay ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine calamity powers in exchange for the natural disaster of life. But the problem is that now Zhou Li has the Holy Tree Crown in his hand, a card that contains the power of the God of Life, so he can directly use the power of 500 disasters to summon the natural disaster of life without looking at the face of the Goddess of Life.
Therefore, when Zhou Li faced the disappearing Anya, he did not hesitate to use the power of the goddess of life. He could detect that the thought puppet had signs of life before it died, which meant that if done correctly, he could rely on the reverse effect to find Anya's location.
No?
Zhou Li was suddenly stunned. He checked again in disbelief, but the feedback from the God of Life was still that there was no sign of life, not even a trace.
How can this be?
Zhou Li frowned and found it difficult to understand this scene. When he killed Ant just now, he specifically found out that there were a lot of life elements in Ant's body. This is normal, because even if he is a thought puppet, he still cannot escape the two categories of body and soul. Therefore, even if Ant was killed by Zhou Li, he would still have considerable traces of life left.
But Anya didn't, not at all.
Zhou Li clearly remembered that when he killed Anya, he deliberately controlled the power of natural disasters so as not to destroy the world.
Multiple organizational structures. In this case, even if Anya was blasted to pieces by the God of Chaos, her soul infected with the power of disaster by Zhou Li would still guide the life elements where to go. But the problem is, there is no life element in Anya's body at all, not even a trace.
This is contrary to common sense.
Of course, Zhou Li didn't care too much about this matter. He just gave up looking for Anya after thinking for a moment. Instead, he looked at Hathaway aside and said seriously: "Hathaway, you should go back to the hotel immediately and let Azi and the others investigate whether the Emotional Church can be inhabited by people. Buildings and abandoned clinics must be investigated."
"OK."
Hathaway also understood that the situation was urgent. She nodded, fell back, and quickly disappeared from Zhou Li's sight. After confirming again that there was no signal on the communicator, Zhou Li looked at Arthur Morgan aside, his face becoming much less serious.
"Do me a favor."
Zhou Li looked at Arthur Morgan and said to him, "We are in trouble."
"trouble?"
Arthur Morgan looked reluctant, but his revolver thought otherwise. He lowered his head, took out a cigar and put it in his mouth. This was a way for him to release Dead Eye without having to concentrate. He patted the pistol on his waist and said in a hoarse voice, "What it can solve is not a problem."
"If my estimate is correct, there should be people from the Church of Emotions outside the door now."
Zhou Li reached out for a cigar. Of course, he didn't know how to smoke. He just thought it was interesting. After lighting the low-quality cigar, the pungent smell sobered Zhou Li's brain. After all, if the natural disaster of life is used, the goddess of life will feel it. Although she can't stop Zhou Li's actions, she can still give him some obstacles.
For example, there was always noise playing in Zhou Li's mind.
The boys in elementary school are less naive than her.
"This woman has made the church of emotions her own."
After chewing Hanako's teeth, even a tough guy like Arthur Morgan couldn't help but feel chills when he saw the scene of the soul puppet's demise, "Who knows how many puppets there are among the people outside."
Although Anya clearly stated that she only made thirty-four puppets and put them into the Twelve Hours and Twenty-Four Guilds, who said that her master did not inherit some puppets for her, or that she created some lower-level puppets? ?
It takes a long time to make a brilliant-level doll like Ant, but what about making a gold professional? You know, most of the management in Twelve Quarters is held by people like Gold and Platinum. Anya only needs to put her puppets at various key nodes, which is enough to control a church or a union.
As for the Church of Emotions, which Anya has worked hard on for several years, it is impossible to have only a few puppets.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Of course, Zhou Li opened the door without preparing to meet. He and Arthur Morgan just sat side by side on the sofa, holding cigars in their mouths and staring coldly at the door that was gradually opened.
【anger】
A crimson halo suddenly filled the entire room, and a strong pungent smell suddenly filled the room. The actions of Zhou Li and Arthur Morgan were surprisingly consistent. When they saw the crimson light, they instantly jumped back and broke out of the window.
Yes, they were not prepared to fight.
beat? hit what?
Two on three or two on four against five, six, seven or eight, Zhou Li and Arthur Morgan are confident that they can completely solve it. But the dense footsteps in the corridor just now proved that the number of people outside was not a single number, but hundreds of people. Although Arthur Morgan has no bullet limit, his bullets are his magic power, but the problem is that even if he fires Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, he can't keep firing hundreds of shots. He is a human being, and his blood vessels have limits and cannot hold so much magic energy.
Therefore, Zhou Li and Arthur Morgan were sitting on the sofa, simply wanting to give the person opposite the illusion that they wanted to fight. In fact, Zhou Li and Arthur Morgan reached a consensus the moment he heard the footsteps.
Of course, breaking out of the window is not without cost. After all, this is the twenty-fifth floor. Let alone Gerost, even Torea may not be able to survive in style. There is a high probability that the corpse is embedded in the cement board and cannot be buckled.
come out.
Most professionals in this world do not have the ability to fly, and there are only those elemental mages who control the wind element to float in the sky. But the problem is that the wind element is an unpredictable thing in the elemental world with a strong accent, and ordinary elemental mages have no way to communicate with them. If you say Chenghua Road, it will hear it as Waibi Babu. If you say turn right ahead, it will hear it as Vladivostok. Therefore, ordinary people have no way to control the wind element.
The reason why Zhou Li dared to jump was not because he had an extra foreign language and pride, but because he had already left a backup plan.
"Why has Void been so busy escaping recently?"
Linghai closed the void door in confusion, blocking the roar of those emotional spells. She looked at Zhou Li and said to him, "According to what you said, the changed plan has already begun."
"After the change?"
Upon hearing this, Arthur Morgan was stunned.
"Well, only Linghai and Kaya knew about the change last night."
Zhou Li nodded. The plan had already started anyway, and he didn't have to hide it. "Anya delayed because she found out that I wanted to detonate the crystal tower's redundant energy in advance, so she attracted me to her stronghold to slow me down. pace, and then accelerate her deployment."
"According to the original plan, we will evacuate all residents within 25 kilometers, because the smoke and harmful substances generated by the explosion will cover this area. After the evacuation is completed, Tariq will gradually reduce the comfort runes in the energy tower. Let the energy explode in a safe environment. At this time, Kaya and Linghai will open a channel on the top of the tower, and the channel will directly swallow up the energy of the explosion and move to a safe place."
While following Ling Hai's footsteps and walking in the void, Zhou Li explained: "This plan will be perfect if it can be successfully executed, but I already made a judgment yesterday. The Truth Church will not sit idly by and do nothing. They will definitely It will thwart this plan. And the most vulnerable part of the plan is to allow energy to circulate in a safe environment."
"If the energy cannot be absorbed smoothly, the Void Gate created by Kaya and Linghai will most likely be impacted by the energy and collapse. So Anya only needs to disrupt the energy environment around the energy tower, and our plan must Stagnation. At the same time, the chess pieces she placed in the energy tower will most likely detonate the energy tower in advance to achieve her goal."
"In other words, that fucking tower is going to explode soon?!"
Arthur Morgan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He never expected that the plan that was originally implemented half a month later would come so suddenly. Last night he was still studying how to use two revolvers to support his body and stand upside down. Today, he was going to rescue Tariq with the brave. This huge change made him unable to react for a while.
After taking a long puff of his cigar and being sternly told by Linghai that smoking was prohibited in the void, Arthur Morgan pinched off his cigar angrily and scratched his head, then asked Zhou Li: "What did you tell me in such detail? Use me."
"Of course, and you're important."
Zhou Li nodded. In fact, he had already started to guard against them when he discovered the strangeness of the Emotion Church. Zhou Li trusted the intelligence network of the Emotion Church. After all, he could detect all the colors of Kuchazi Huang Yi wore yesterday. Turned out, it is very easy for the Emotional Church to monitor a phone line.
Therefore, the plan Zhou Li mentioned at the beginning was actually incomplete.
Is it fake? No, just one link has been changed.
According to the original plan, it was to [create a stable energy environment] - [Kaya and Linghai open the Void Gate] - [detonate the unstable energy in the energy tower and let the Void Gate directly absorb the energy] - —[Callis will introduce energy into the City of Calis]—[Finally, the spiritual sea will release the energy from the City of Talis into the Tomb of the Pioneers]
The whole process is like this. These are all interlocking and there is no fault.
But Zhou Li changed something, and this will be the key to his victory over Anya.
What he wants to create is a chaotic energy environment.
"A chaotic energy environment will cause energy to explode, and such energy cannot be guided into the Void Gate at all. However, there is one good thing about the chaotic energy."
week
Li slowly walked out of the Void Gate, and Kaya had been waiting for a long time.
"They can charge the Void Gate."
The explosion of energy is not a sudden volcanic eruption, but a gradual eruption.
"Thirty seconds is when we calculate the usable time of energy when the energy tower explodes. Energy beyond this time will be uncontrollable. So what we have to do is to accurately capture the energy in the energy tower when it explodes. Live at the gathering point of energy and introduce these *** energy into the gate of the void."
"Then..."
Zhou Li raised his head and looked at the tower that represented Tariq's supreme authority and honor. He remembered what Herinen had said to him.
People above all else.
"Swallow the entire energy tower."
