The few slaps Lan Moying's stand-in gave me were really seriously injured. If I didn't get treatment in time, I might not be able to fight anyone in a short time. Fortunately, we carried the secret medicine prepared by Lao Donkey, which managed to suppress my injuries.
When I wanted to come the next day, Ling'er had already appeared in my ward. I heard about their cooperation from Ye Xun, so naturally I would not pretend to know anything: "Thank you this time, as long as I I can come back alive from the desert and I will never shirk my mission."
Ling'er smiled and said: "I believe in the credibility of the Divine Ghost Sword. I came here this time to tell you that the Holy See and the Adventurer's Guild are looking for you, and you will not be able to return home through normal channels in the short term."
I suddenly frowned: "How long will it take for them to lift the blockade?"
"It's hard to say!" Ling'er shook her head and said, "If you can trust me, I can arrange a stowaway boat for you, but I can't guarantee whether you will be intercepted by the other party."
"Thank you very much. I owe you another favor." Until now, I can only believe Ling'er.
"I'd be happy to let you owe this kind of favor a few more times." Ling'er smiled and said, "If you have any other needs, just ask them and I will do my best."
I thought for a moment and then said: "Can genetic code really enable people to awaken their superpowers?"
"It's probably only one in 10,000 chance, right?" Ling'er said: "Among the Yao Xing lineage, only Ning Yao and Dark Yao have awakened their powers. Ning Yao's super power is stealth, which can cover up certain objects out of thin air."
Only then did I understand why Lan Moying's five stand-ins suddenly appeared near me.
Ling'er continued: "My powers are distortion and collapse. You and Ye Xun have already seen it."
I saw the death of the substitute with my own eyes, so I naturally know the meaning of distortion. As for the breakage, it should be the reason why the daggers on Ye Xun's body suddenly broke. Because Ling'er has always been hiding in Ye Xun's team, and she is the only one with such ability.
Ling'er continued: "I don't know how Yao Xing awakens his powers, but the process of awakening my own powers makes me feel a little baffled. My powers seem to appear out of thin air, with almost no signs."
"At that time, Allen always wanted me to believe that he was the devil. The awakened powers in me were the magic given to me by the devil. I know that the reason for the awakening of my powers has a lot to do with Allen, but it is definitely not The power he gives.”
Ling'er paused for a moment before saying, "I believe even more that he unlocked the genetic lock on me."
Ling'er said: "You should know the term gene lock, right?"
I nodded and said, "I've heard of it, but I haven't believed it."
I have indeed heard of gene locks, but not from mythology, but from some science fiction novel. To put it simply, the author of that novel believed that human beings once had the same power as gods. However, at some point, someone blocked most of human abilities, which turned human beings into relatively weak existences in nature.
The thing that blocks human abilities is the genes that exist in the human body. Those genetic chains are like locks, firmly locking human abilities and even the brain. As long as the genetic locks are unlocked, humans can return to their peak and become A god-like existence.
Seeing me nodding, Ling'er continued: "I also know that the gene lock thing is a bit unbelievable, but if you can believe in the existence of myths, why don't you believe in the existence of gene locks?"
"This..." Ling'er asked, leaving me speechless.
In a sense: science fiction is also a kind of myth, but it is a myth derived from existing science or doctrine. That myth is not of the past, but of the future.
The biggest difference between science fiction and mythology is that science fiction may one day become a reality, but mythology will always exist in legends.
However, these two things that could not have intersected in the first place collided together in front of my eyes, which made it difficult for me to accept this fact for a while.
Ling'er changed the subject and said: "Actually, this time you will encounter the holy knights of the Holy See, which has a great relationship with our Tulip family. There are also devout light believers in the Tulip family, but they failed to keep the family's secrets in the face of their faith. So. , the Holy See would take the idea of Dark Castle, they need more Paladins. When I say this, do you understand?"
"Understood!" I nodded slightly. Although some things can be speculated, they cannot be put on the table for communication.
I personally have always kept a distance from religion, but I have learned some things in order to explore God.
The Chinese Church has never accepted the jurisdiction of the Holy See, nor has the Holy See recognized the Chinese Church. The two sides have always been on the same page. In the country, the church will never have an armed force like the Holy Knights. So, I didn't pay too much attention to the Paladin thing.
However, the European Curia is different.
The Holy See once had supreme authority in Europe, and the collision between royal power and theocratic power lasted for hundreds of years, and finally ended with the decline of theocratic power.
Now, although the Holy See is still a transcendent existence, it has lost its former glory, and the matter of canonizing the king will naturally not happen again.
However, some people's persistence will not change with the passage of time. On the contrary, it will increase day by day. It is inevitable that some people will have other thoughts.
This is probably what Ling'er means.
I said solemnly: "The Holy See has obtained the devil's body. Hasn't it already achieved its goal? Why are you still looking for me?"
Ling'er shook her head and said, "I don't know. The family was infiltrated by the Holy See, but they failed to send anyone into the Holy See, so we can't find answers to many things."
I nodded slightly and said, "Where is the Wugui Sect? The Huo Sect paid such a heavy price in the castle, is it possible that it just ceased its activities?"
Ling'er shook her head again and said: "This time the Ghostless Sect's actions are not small. According to the information obtained by the family, Huang Cang, the King of Hades, has already said that he is going to touch Li Xiaomao. No one is allowed to take any chances with you, otherwise , the dead warriors of the Fire Sect will definitely come to visit."
"Huang Cang is not joking this time. It is said that he is already preparing to attack the Tyrannosaurus Adventure Group. That is the second-ranked team in the Adventurer's Guild."
Someone once used eight words to describe Huomen as "haunting and never ending". Even if those targeted by Huomen did not die at the hands of Huomen, they would be driven crazy by his endless assassinations. In the end, Choosing to commit suicide in order to seek relief is why people talk about Huomen and become so angry.
Huang Cang said this, so those who want to take advantage of us should restrain themselves somewhat. It actually helped us invisibly.
Ling'er continued: "In addition, I have received definite news that Yunhua, the Witch of the Hanging Door, has made rumors about Lan Moying and wants you to die without a burial place."
"Yunhua?" I frowned and said, "Who is Yunhua?"
Ling'er said: "Yunhua is also Lan Moying's woman and the actual leader of Xuanmen. The reason why Xuanmen has never had a little king is because of Yunhua's existence."
"Lan Moying is a romantic by nature and does not want to settle for one place. After taking over as the Xuanmen Heavenly King, he still goes his own way. When the Xuanmen power saw its decline, Lan Moying brought back a woman from nowhere, namely Yunhua. Let She helped her temporarily manage the Xuanmen. As a result, in just a few years, the Xuanmen became famous again in the Ghostless Sect."
"If Lan Moying hadn't been so famous, I'm afraid no one would have remembered that there was a love demon in the hanging door."
Ling'er paused for a moment before saying, "Yunhua rarely leaves the sect. I think she won't devalue herself and deal with you personally. However, Xuanmen disciples will definitely swarm here, so you have to be careful. "
"Well!" A sneer appeared at the corner of my mouth: "Let them come if they want! I just want to meet the Wugui Sect for a while."
Ling'er shook her head and smiled: "Don't really fall for it, otherwise, my investment will be in vain."
I said with a half-smile: "How about I pay you some interest first?"
When Ling'er looked at me inexplicably, I said calmly: "What do you think the method of cracking the secret of the love demon is worth?"
Ling'er's beautiful eyes widened and she stared at my face for a long time without blinking before saying, "Are you kidding me? You are playing with fire. It's too risky for you to do this."
I smiled lightly and said: "Since Xuanmen wants to play, then I will play a big game with them. My secret method can not only crack the secret of love demons, but also identify people who have fallen into the secret. Do you want to?"
"Yes!" Ling'er stood up and said, "Since you dare to sell it, why don't I dare to take it over."
I nodded and said, "That's good. I'll write it down for you right now."
Ling'er looked at the note in her hand with a wry smile and said: "Your revenge is too strong. If I am your enemy, I can only beat you to death in one go. Once you are given a chance, you will be even scarier than Huomen." "
Ling'er stood up and said, "Give me two days. In two days it will be time for you to show off your skills. Just wait for my news."
Not long after Ling'er left, news came out that the Tulip family was going to auction the love demon's secret technique.
In less than half a day, the news spread throughout the Western adventure world. The sensation caused by a small piece of news was no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake. Countless adventurers flocked to the Tulip Family's underground auction house from all directions.
But I arrived at the auction house one step ahead of them. Ren Tianqing, who was standing upstairs with me at the auction house, looked at the people coming in one after another and whispered: "Wang Huan, is Lan Moying really back?"
I calmly replied: "This time, I used conspiracy. Lan Moying will definitely think that I am auctioning "The Secret Art of Love Demon". He doesn't want the intelligence network he has built over the years to be destroyed in one go, even if he knows it I'm plotting against him, and he will definitely come. This time it depends on what method Lan Moying wants to use to break the situation."
I said it easily, but in my heart I didn't dare to relax at all. The battle with Lan Moying is a real master's game. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
