“Does this make sense?”
It's not that Joey wants to badmouth, but he feels that with the power of people like Anne, if they want to go against the church, even death is probably not enough.
"Those are not important to me!" There was an unpredictable meaning in Anne's eyes.
When Joey Zhengzheng wanted to ask more questions, Annie stood up and said quietly: "I know you have a lot of questions now, and I don't know much about some things."
Joey knew that Annie's words were very clear, that is, he needed some sincerity in exchange for information.
He thought for a while, and his eyes gradually became firm: "I will serve as an internal response for you."
Annie smiled and nodded: "Happy cooperation" and said, she stretched out her white palm.
Their hands were separated as soon as they touched.
Under Joey's earnest gaze, Annie revealed a piece of bombshell news:
"The real Poseidon has not died, but is sleeping in the deep sea city of R'lyeh. Poseidon believers have been trying to wake him up. The Mermaid Forest was established for the resurrection of Poseidon."
As Annie spoke slowly, the dark clouds that had been plaguing him finally dispersed.
If everything develops according to the normal track, the organization Mermaid Forest will not appear. The mistake is that a group of Poseidon believers have solved the Fulde Manra formula.
Once a weak person gains too much power beyond himself, it is inevitable that he will swell.
As a result, they not only formed the "Mermaid Forest" but also annexed the Poseidon Church.
Their mission, from awakening the Poseidon at the beginning, became to share the power of the Poseidon.
Greed makes these people abandon their faith.
The eight people who formed the Mermaid Forest were too powerful, and the orthodox sect has been suppressed.
Until the curse breaks out.
Since then, the Poseidon Sect has divided into two factions.
A group of people escaped into the deep sea, while the Mermaid Forest moved between the sea and the land.
On the surface, they believe in honoring the God of the Sea, but secretly they madly snatch women and children as sacrifices.
They kept feeding that heart in order to continuously draw energy and create more tribesmen.
For so many years, the reason why he has not been noticed by the Holy Church is because there is a strong protective umbrella behind him.
Anne even guessed that the person behind it might be a big shot.
"This is why you want to blow up the Church of Light, to attract the attention of the church's top brass and expose everything to the sun."
Annie nodded slightly: "You are half right."
"It is easy to blow up the church, but it is difficult to make all the residents of Port Leia abandon their faith."
The world's belief in gods has reached an unimaginable level of madness.
Even willing to sacrifice his life for it.
"It's really hard"
At this moment, Anne's eyes were particularly firm, and there was a hint of heroic spirit bursting out: "It is really difficult to do this under normal circumstances."
She gave it a try, chuckled, and continued: "Now, the heart is in my hands, and there are many ways to operate it."
"For example, using the missionaries of 'Heavenly Father' to create riots and overwhelm the Church of Light."
Joey shook his head: "These are not enough to shake the believers' faith."
"You don't need to be completely shaken, you just need to open a hole among the people in Port Lia."
Joey asked again: "Where are you going to blow up next, the library or the hotel?"
According to the previous analysis of Anne's behavior, the next two locations are most likely the hospital where Olivia is located, and the hotel where Mi Pang works.
Unexpectedly, Annie smiled and shook her head: "None of them."
She stared at Joey with strange eyes and said word by word: "I will arrange to give their lives to you."
"What's the meaning?"
"That's the literal meaning. I need you to completely trust Benny Hoyland. With the special nature of your gambler sequence, as long as you successfully break into the interior, he will most likely give you Sealed Artifact 2-049 for use."
Joey didn't like Annie's tone of casually deciding the fate of others.
He replied with a cold face: "What makes you think that I will cooperate with you?"
Annie smiled confidently and said, "You have no choice."
Joey was dissatisfied and said, "What about Olivia and Mi Pang? They don't have a choice?"
"It's not just them, I don't have a choice either." When she said this, Anne's face turned gloomy for a moment, and her tone was low: "From the moment we were contaminated by the curse, the choice is no longer on us."
"From the moment we set foot on that boat, the fate of the eight of us was determined. We were supposed to die on that island, but because of you, we all lived a little longer."
Joey's heart beat faster for a moment, and he thought of Azrael's predicted death time. There were 8 Annes, and the death time was ten years ago.
This paradox troubled him for a long time, and he once thought that Azrael's ability to predict was inaccurate because he lost his true form.
How could someone who died ten years ago appear alive in front of me?
And the most important point is that there is no possibility of the spirit in Anne's body being replaced.
There are no symptoms of pollution attack.
If it is contaminated or the spirit body is replaced, under his spiritual vision, no matter how well hidden it is, some clues can be detected.
The current situation is that Anne is Anne Bullock, the original owner of this body, and the compatibility between the spirit body and the body is 100%.
"Is it just because of me?" Joey pointed a finger at his head.
How to put it, the thought in my heart is: Am I really that powerful? I don't even know.
Anne herself was not sure about this, and her tone was not very sure: "There is a high possibility."
Then, she said: "Before the eight of us, the rotation of the curse has been going on for hundreds of years, and without exception, the eight chosen people died under that pool."
"These are also the memories that were suddenly instilled in you?"
He also went down to the bottom of the pool. Not only did he go down, he also saw the big fireball. Why didn't he come into contact with any memory information?
"Yes, there are eight people every time, except this time, there is one more person." She stared at Joey with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.
After about ten seconds like this, his eyes turned around Joey: "Maybe there is something special about you?"
"special?"
Now that the words have been spoken, Anne no longer hides and tucks it in, and asks bluntly: "Do you have any extraordinary items on you?"
"Extraordinary items?"
"Yes, although the gambler sequence has a certain probability of triggering the lucky value, it is not enough to support the mutation that occurred on the ghost island."
Joey pondered for a while and couldn't figure out what was special about him apart from the gray mist.
Annie was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
"Extraordinary item!" He chanted over and over again. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, slapped his forehead, and took out a short blade the size of a palm from his waist.
"Could it be what you're talking about?"
In Joey's hand, there was a delicate knife, with a greenish luster all over it.
The blade is covered with scale-like patterns.
The moment Joey took out the short blade, the 'red spider silk' tied around Annie's wrist seemed to be stimulated by something.
It separated from Annie's wrist with a 'whoosh' sound and wrapped around the handle of the broken blade.
The two seem to be one and the same.
Playing with the knife in his hand, Joey thought of a weapon, a boomerang. After throwing it, he could recall the weapon by gently pulling the thread at the end.
One end of the silk thread was tied around his wrist.
Joey suddenly had the illusion of blood connection.
His fingers trembled slightly, and the broken blade flew out with a whoosh.
It went straight through the thick wall, leaving a tiny hole in it.
With a slight thought in his mind, he gently pulled the red silk thread tied to his wrist, and the broken blade flew back.
"What a good thing!" He couldn't help but praise.
When he turned around, he saw Annie looking at him gloomily.
Joey smiled dryly, rolled his eyes, and had a helpless and troubled expression on his face: "Look, this thing seems to be inseparable, how about giving it to me?"
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere fell into dead silence.
After about ten seconds, Annie stretched out her white palm and said, "Bring it here."
Joey smiled and handed the thing over.
Don’t forget to remind: “Don’t touch the blade, it’s poisonous.”
Anne holds the short blade in her left hand and pulls the silk thread with her right hand. The two seem to be closely connected.
Joey's heart was beating fast, fearing that Annie might be accidentally scratched.
If it was before, he was still somewhat sure about the toxicity, and he hadn't had time to experiment with his abilities after the mutation.
"Where did this come from?" Annie asked.
For a moment, he really didn't know how to explain this extraordinary item.
It can't be said that it was brought from Senegal.
It would be strange if Anne didn't think he was crazy.
If the news accidentally leaks out again, the Holy Church will capture him in a minute and use him as a guinea pig.
"I got this thing by accident"
Everyone has their own secret. Annie stared at Joey for a moment, but finally shook her head and returned the things to Joey without further questioning.
Said softly:
"Can you separate them?"
Joey tried, shrugged and shook his head: "No"
Anne stared at him with a half-smile: "Can't, or don't want to?"
"Can't and don't want to"
"Ha! You are quite honest!"
"Hehe" he received the short blade with satisfaction.
The expression on his face was extremely flattering: "The water is cold, I'll give you another drink!"
"Come on, stop pretending"
In Annie's eyes, Joey put the things away with a smile.
dignity? Hehe, just kidding, any extraordinary item can fetch a sky-high price at auction.
If based on brother Wilson's salary, ten years would not be enough.
At this time, Anne was a golden figure in front of him, exuding golden light.
"It's almost time. Please be careful during this period. I will notify you then."
After watching Annie leave, Joey immediately took out the broken blade.
Without hesitation, he stabbed himself in the arm.
'Quenching', an extraordinary weapon brought back from Senegal, has been on standby since it came out. It's not that I don't want to use it, but I think it's a bit useless.
The power is not to be said, the toxin can even poison demigods, but the side effects are a bit severe.
He had diarrhea every now and then, and he had had enough of that feeling before.
And the most important thing is that now he can't use extraordinary weapons.
In Senegal, the ratio of extraordinary people to ordinary people is very small, with at least one person in ten being an extraordinary person.
Take Lia Port as an example. There are tens of thousands of people in the whole town, but there are only a few extraordinary people on the surface.
Under the complete rules of order established by the Seven Gods, it would be impossible to have a large-scale battle like Senegal.
Time passed little by little, and a thin layer of green mucus appeared on the cut cut by 'Quenching'.
A feeling of dizziness gradually filled my mind, and in my sight, the furnishings in the living room seemed to double.
Sure enough, the toxicity increased a lot. He could even feel his thoughts stagnating.
This is the effect of allowing the poison to spread on its own without his control.
With his current spiritual strength, the poison will spread in 5 minutes. I can't imagine how terrifying it can be when the master activates it.
He was secretly happy to have harvested a powerful extraordinary weapon, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in his stomach.
"No!"
Joey rushed into the bathroom holding his stomach.
After being upset for a while, he came out looking pale.
"The toxicity is stronger, and the side effects are also much stronger."
In the past, even if there were side effects from using 'Quenching', they could still be suppressed, but now it's better, with side effects occurring within a few minutes of each other.
If you use it to fight, you can kill yourself without the enemy taking action.
Looking at the red thread in his hand, he recalled the side effects Annie mentioned.
Pain shared.
The general meaning is that between the two targets connected by the red spider silk, one party will be hurt, and the pain will be shared with the other party.
When one party dies, the other party is also affected.
When they were on the sailboat, Anne used red spider silk to tie everyone together in order to make everyone a community of interests and prevent betrayers from appearing.
Following this train of thought, he murmured to himself: "Can I transfer the side effects through the red line?"
He did what he thought of and excitedly opened the door and went out. Looking at the hurried people on the street, he was choosing a target.
The girl selling drinks on the street corner is wearing sexy clothes and greeting the passers-by.
When he was looking at the drink girl, the other party also looked over. She waved to Joey, ran over with a smile and said, "Sir, do you need a drink?"
Not far behind her, there was a bald man standing, who was usually a thug in a bar.
"No need!" Joey waved his hands repeatedly. His wallet could not support his consumption.
The drinking girl's originally smiling face turned gloomy in an instant.
He snorted coldly: "Poor man, what do you want me to do if you don't have money?" He even spat: "Bah! What bad luck."
Under the street lights, she swayed her slender waist and staggered forward.
Looking at the other person's back, Joey subconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth: Do you have to stick to him to make him suffer? Then I have no choice but to help you.
A tiny strand of red thread quietly slipped out and penetrated her and the bald man's body at the same time.
The moment he turned around, 'Quenching' stabbed his arm without hesitation.
This time, he directly activated the 'Quenching' ability.
The wound was instantly covered with green liquid, and the numbness instantly made the entire arm lose consciousness. The toxins were eroding the body at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, on the other side of the street, the drinking girl and the bald man were running as fast as they could, clutching their stomachs.
When they entered the door, they were still crowded together, wishing they had two more legs.
"Interesting, it can work!"
Joey knew that the experiment was successful and the side effects of 'quenching' were transferred from being 'red spider silk'.
