(For Silver Alliance, random update cannot be used, completion progress 66/100.)
Outside the tower, there is Food City Street.
Countless secrets are hidden in the long-abandoned streets of Food City, and the whole city is filled with an atmosphere of death and desolation.
There are many areas here with special rules, which also led to a lot of evil people. After there were no regional restrictions, they began to leave the city.
But there is also a place that seems out of place in this city.
It's a ring.
The main part is a circular road that surrounds the entire food city. On both sides of the road, there is a telephone booth at a certain interval.
In the strange telephone booth, there has been no sound of phone calls for a long time.
Jing Liu held Jing Si's hand and took Jing Si to a telephone booth.
They look more like a couple than a pair of siblings.
But holding Jing Si's hand was only to suppress the distortion in Jing Si's body.
Not long ago, Jing Liu sent his confidants to go outside the fog, because the world outside the fog began to become exciting.
"Brother, how are you now?"
Jing Si shook his head, looking somewhat painful.
"It's about to happen. You... leave me..."
A low growl like that of a wild beast came from Jing Si's throat, as if he was trying hard to suppress some desire.
The starry sky in the sky began to slowly spread out. Stars began to rise and then fall.
Gradually, the night sky and stars surrounded Jing Si. When it was completely surrounded, Jing Si would fall into a state of madness.
Jing Liu was not afraid. She could see part of the future and she knew very well when her brother's "madness" would occur.
"Is there any place you want to go? Once we get the reincarnation, I will take you there..."
"Light, Lin."
"You really still can't forget Professor Tao?"
Jing Si nodded with some difficulty.
"It's a pity that I don't have the ability to take you to that place now... Even the cause and effect here are the cause and effect of Food City. My power is not enough to support us to change such a future."
The evil obsessions were transformed into a telephone booth by the power of cause and effect. This telephone booth actually had extremely powerful rules, but these rules were like a lock.
What is needed to open the lock is a key, and the key is the power of cause and effect.
Bai Wu had been here before and had experienced several causal journeys. In fact, they were all Jing Liu's intentions.
The harbor of Food City saved Wen Hao, the streets of Food City saved Lin Rui, and the outskirts of Food City saved Gu Hailin.
Apart from Yin Shuang's phone call, which made Bai Wu feel very strange, almost all the causes and effects here were related to Food City.
They are all related to Jing Liu, because in Jing Liu's eyes, Wen Hao, Bai Wu, the shelter, and the masked man are all important chess pieces used to restrain the opponent.
One of Jingliu's eyes had turned white, and the scene in his eyes had also disappeared a lot.
Not long ago, she used the power of cause and effect again.
The starry sky covers everything.
Jing Si imprisoned himself in the starry sky, while Jing Liu left far away.
Waiting for the next time, when my brother will wake up for a moment.
After the Nijing domain completely covered this space, the few strands of Jing Si's floating hair outside the domain also became transparent.
"Brother, I will find the tower and let you put an end to all this."
The savior does exist.
This is what Jing Liu once said.
But in Jing Liu's eyes, the three words "savior" have another meaning, a crazier meaning.
The opening of the well, the Ark's arrival outside the fog, the white fog's arrival outside the fog, and even Chen Shuyue's arrival outside the fog not long ago, are all within the causal cycle of Well Six.
She and Jingyi both have the same goal - to restore the tower.
But when the tower really appears, she and Jingyi will become the biggest competitors.
As for the former opponents on this chessboard, the masked man, Jingwu, Jingsan...
In Jing Liu's opinion, it is not worth mentioning.
It’s not that they are not strong, but their karma means that they are destined to not be able to enter the tower.
…
…
Thousands of years ago, with many religions, Fuyue New Island and Fuyue Old Island were originally one country.
In that era when religion was at its most powerful, the country was divided into two because of new religions and new doctrines.
Over thousands of years, religious disputes became less intense and relatively mild, and the people of the Old Fuyo Island and the New Fuyo Island began to trade with each other.
There are also religious associations similar to the Writers Association. Under a local plaque, you can see the seals of many different sects such as Manichaeism, Wuweiism, New Buddhism, Old Buddhism, Brahmaism, etc.
They also have their own offices, which are very close to each other and they can even sit together and play mahjong.
It’s very interesting that you can hear the words of several sects at a mahjong table—
"Holy Father, please let me draw the first one, Amen."
"Buddha is merciful. As the saying goes, if I don't touch myself, then who will?"
"Tao follows nature, everyone, don't be discouraged. This poor Taoist's four great joys follow the laws of nature. How can you not be defeated?"
Seven hundred years later, religion is now just a simple belief, without so many political implications.
People are increasingly believing that religion can purify the soul.
On Fuyouxin Island, a man in a priest's robe, wearing Buddhist beads and holding a dustpan in his hand, is praying for a woman.
"Which sect's god do you need to bless? Is it Taoism, Buddha, or the Holy Father? Or the Goddess?"
The woman was not very polite:
"I want to see my father, and I know that you are the contact person."
"Amitabha, the Lord will guide you to find the truth. May you and your father be reunited soon, Amitayus." The man put his hands together and drew a letter "z" on his chest.
The woman showed the tattoos on her hands:
"No matter who you are, I hope you can consider your own identity!"
Queen of Spades.
When seeing this pattern, this charlatan who believed in the integration of so many religious sects did not react much.
"As far as I know, there are a group of people in Sheng country who like to tattoo the Queen of Spades on their ankles, which means it is for black people only and they worship black people. Although Sheng country is gone, and I am a multi-religious mixed charlatan who believes in the equality of all beings, I still suggest that you see a psychiatrist."
"But this is on your wrist. I sincerely hope no black people are harassing you."
"You're irritating me! You low-class card!"
The Queen of Spades is ready to attack, even though it has only been a short time since her evil fall and less than a year since the advent of distortion, her fighting ability is still very weak.
But Q's qualifications give her powerful perfect-level entries.
Whether it is the upper limit of growth or the growth rate, it is definitely not comparable to those of Xu Ling and McDro.
In this world where distortion has just arrived, she doesn't believe anyone can resist her.
But just when she was about to make her move, a golden swastika seal symbolizing the Manichean sect and a red Z seal symbolizing the Old Fuk religion suddenly appeared behind this compound charlatan.
The Queen of Spades suddenly stopped, and felt as if she took one more step forward, she would fall into an abyss.
The charlatan smiled, twisted his Buddhist beads with one hand, and waved his whisk with the other:
"I just don't want to tell a fact. Why should the donor be angry?"
"What facts?"
"Your mother is dead, and your father is dead too. You don't have a father."
Spade Queen was furious: "Your memory was erased? You'd better remember your responsibilities. You are just a contact person!"
"Alas..." The charlatan sighed:
"You are still young, you don't know that we concierges are often hidden bosses."
The Queen of Spades was stunned.
Because the swastika and z-shaped marks behind the charlatan disappeared, and what appeared behind the charlatan was a huge letter -
K.
"You are... k?"
Xi Yunzi showed his wrist, which had no tattoo.
"Ah, I don't really like this name, you see, and I won't bear such a mark."
"Although this mark is difficult to remove, my Buddhist name is Wangchen, my Taoist name is Xiyunzi, and the Lord gave me the name Nero. You can choose whichever you think sounds better."
The charlatan seemed to be thinking, which one sounds better.
Spade Queen was puzzled and looked at the other party in astonishment:
"Impossible, Dad said there is no K... Dad can't even lie to me... I am his most beloved daughter..."
"You don't even have a father, so how can your father talk about you? Oh, after thinking about it, you should just call me Xi Yunzi."
Xi Yunzi decided to call himself that. Although he was a compound charlatan, he still preferred Wuwei Sect.
"Do you think it's a good fit? I like the Wuwei religion, which advocates tranquility, inaction and returning to nature. The doctrine and philosophy of Shengguo seven hundred years ago are much higher than other religions. But don't think that I am just a Manichean hater, or a hater of the new or old sects. In fact, every sect has its merits, but I may not have enough understanding."
Spade Q doesn't want to hear this Xi Yunzi say this.
But Xi Yunzi is just that kind of person. Sometimes he speaks very little. When he speaks less, he seems like a thinker. When he speaks more, he seems like a chatterbox, which makes people feel annoyed.
"Even if...even if you are K, even if there really is K, but Dad told me to find him through you. K must obey Dad's orders."
The Queen of Spades didn't know how big the gap was between herself and the King, and her tone sounded a little scared.
"I only obey the orders of Daozu, Buddha, Holy Father and Yepo. People must have faith, and faith must be much stronger than ourselves. Although you can regard your father as a faith, for me, he is not qualified to be my faith."
What Xi Yunzi said was a matter of course.
Spade Queen said angrily:
"How dare you blaspheme Daddy."
Xi Yunzi shook his head and sighed:
"Why do you still call him dad? Don't you know that the moment the distortion came, we changed from human beings to evil beings? Why is that?"
The Queen of Spades was stumped by the question and stepped back subconsciously:
"W-why?"
Xi Yunzi was very patient:
"Because we are discarded cards, understand? Our abilities are limited and cannot compare to the trump card of the father you mentioned. Of course, as long as the situation is right, all trump cards will become useless one day. But that day is far away, tut tut."
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. We have become useless cards. In the next card game or chess game, we will either be eliminated by that Light Lost Knight or another adult. My purpose is just to test the opponent's methods. Why are you so complacent? Even the Buddha thinks you are stupid..."
After saying this, Xi Yunzi continued:
"Have you ever seen anyone return to the paradise? Have you ever seen anyone fall into evil in the paradise?"
"without… "
“That’s it. You are the Queen of Spades after all, a Spade type. You are best at playing with people’s hearts, but look at you. Not to mention the failure of your attempt to sow discord between humans and the forces in the Mist, you were deceived by someone and didn’t even realize it… Tell me, do you want to convert to Buddhism, go to heaven, or go to the Hell?”
"I am skilled in the business. I am good at all the afterlife services you want, such as salvation, shaman dance, and soul calling."
Xi Yunzi looked at the Queen of Spades with a kind look.
Spade Q said in surprise:
"You want to kill me..."
"You are a key surveillance target. Your death will be of great significance. As we said before, you can't return to the farm, so you might as well make the most of your last value."
Xi Yunzi's eyes became more friendly:
"You...are going to betray Dad?"
"No, no, no, even though he is not my belief, I respect him. Even though I folded, I know very well that he will be the final winner. I must have some merit, I can't be a slacker. When a certain era comes, I can do better, right? I love God, but I don't want to see God too soon."
Xi Yunzi's smiling eyes could be narrowed into a slit.
He squinted at the Queen of Spades, which made the Queen of Spades feel creepy.
The Queen of Spades turned around and tried to escape, but the church door was already closed.
This is a Western-style church with Brahma murals around it and a Buddha statue in the middle.
It symbolizes religious harmony.
In fact, it was created by an artist decades ago, who was later burned to death.
But what is interesting is that this place has been preserved and is considered a holy place by people of many faiths.
Xi Yunzi, the current Red Heart King, is the owner of this place. He has lived in this world for hundreds of years under different identities.
Religion gave him some pleasure.
"Buddha, Dao, and Saint Father Ye Po all hope that you will carefully consider which side you want to join."
This is a strange church with its doors and windows closed.
Following the sound of breaking bones, the church was filled with chanting of Buddha, followed by standard Old Catholic prayers.
After everything was over, Xi Yunzi walked out of the church.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, burped, and still squinted his eyes, looking kind, ready to start doing business.
But at this moment, the cross in front of Xi Yunzi suddenly shook.
"Sister Yu'er? You're having a great day today. Oh my, I missed you so much. Did you miss me? Do you want to join the religion? Um... Manichaeism is not allowed. You can't get married. Let's join the Wuwei religion..."
Xi Yunzi was very happy.
In a dark room in a faraway place, a woman with loose hair, wearing a hospital gown and bare feet, squatted on a cold chair, holding a red gem with an indifferent expression, as if she could transmit the sound to a faraway place through this stone:
"Is it resolved?"
"Well, I only left the wrist with the tattoo. In the end, it was the Buddha who took her in. The Buddha has a good appetite recently, as the saying goes, wine and meat can make you wear—"
Before Xi Yunzi could finish his words, the woman interrupted his spell:
"It's good that it's resolved. Have you contacted the other two people? I think they are okay."
"We've made contact. We four will be able to meet soon. We can't make the same mistakes as these youngsters. The enemy is coming in full force. We must seek the blessings of the Buddha, the Taoists, and the Holy Fathers. If they can't protect us, I'll add a few small sects. Well, the God King in the Orlo mythology seems to be my belief..."
All-
The phone was busy. This was the nth time that Xi Yunzi was hung up by Sister Xiaoyu, who represented the diamond K, because he talked too much nonsense.
Xi Yunzi didn't care. After giving two dry chuckles, he opened the church door, went back to the church, squinted his eyes and began to pray.
At the same time, waiting for the four Ks to gather.
