Ash and the others immediately turned their heads to look at the empty passage, ignoring the worship scene inside.
They had seen the power of worship in the hospital camp. Even if people were not inside, just watching from a distance could attract them.
Only Tamashi could take a look at him occasionally. The burning ideal in his heart not only enabled him to resist the freezing cold wind in the dark night, but also allowed him to shine brightly in the face of other lights.
"What is the Transcendental Church's worship like?" Igula didn't hear any movement, "Why is there no sound at all?" Tamashi: "It's hard to say." "What are they doing?" "Many strange patterns appeared in the air, and then everyone stared at the patterns in a daze." "What exactly is the pattern?" "It's hard to describe. It looks simple but mysterious." "Can you write it on our palms?" Tamashi didn't refuse, and drew the pattern he saw on the palms of Ash and Igula. As he wrote, Ash and Igula's expressions became more and more strange, and finally the two looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
Igula asked again: "How are these patterns distributed?" Tamashi said: "Use straight and horizontal lines to divide the grids. Some grids are in a group of sixteen, some are twenty-five, and some are thirty-six. Most of the grids have these patterns, but some grids are empty..." "Sudoku game!" Ash blurted out instantly. He was addicted to this kind of brain game when he was bored in junior high school.
"What is Sudoku?" Following Tamashi's question, Harvey also understood the reason why Ash and the others were silent. However, he and Tamashi were not familiar enough to consider the latter's face, so he said calmly: "It is an intellectual game that uses number arrangements and combinations. You have to calculate the missing numbers based on the rules between the numbers."
"Oh."
Tamashi was stunned and smiled: "So that's it, it's the game I'm least good at..." "Strange, the worship of the Transcendental Sect is a group of people playing Sudoku together?" Ash quickly turned to the next topic and pondered: "This is far from what I imagined..."
"The worship of each sect is basically unreasonable to outsiders."
Tamashi said: "I have seen a sect's worship where everyone sleeps together, because they follow the Floating Cloud Dafa, and the ideal is that everyone can live a leisurely life."
"Worship is not only about worshiping Dafa, but also about worshiping ideals. The worship of each sect is related to their ideals."
Igula suddenly realized: "Worship is for believers to imagine the future after they realize their ideals, thereby resonating with Dafa!"
Ash also understood - for sects that pursue a leisure life, the worship service is to sleep; for sects that pursue killing all evildoers, the worship service is to gather together to enjoy and rest; for the Four Pillars God Sect, the worship service is to indulge in unlimited lust...
"What is the connection between transcending consciousness and playing Sudoku?" Harvey was a little confused: "Is the future of transcending consciousness playing Sudoku?"
"Because they don't know what the future will be like after transcending consciousness, they can't even imagine it, and the worship service must be participated by all believers, so they use intellectual games instead."
Igula analyzed: "Sudoku is just one of them, maybe there are other worship options."
"But this situation is very beneficial to us." The Fraudster said: "All the transcendent believers are sitting in their seats, and any unusual movement will be very obvious. Once Silver Lantern tries to snatch the Dafa, it will definitely be stopped by the believers immediately."
"Now we only have to worry about whether Silver Lantern will give up the action tonight, but the Transcendental Sect's worship service is probably of this type every night that does not require movement, so it will be useless for her to continue waiting.
On the contrary, if we leave, she may not even be able to find a scapegoat." The reason why Ash and others think that Silver Lantern will act as soon as possible is because of the position of the Transcendental Dafa - they are all at the bottom. It would not be easy for Yin Deng to snatch the Dafa and escape. It would be like breaking through from the 100th floor to the 1st floor. However, if there was a scapegoat to divert attention, the difficulty would be much lower.
There is no doubt that Ash and his friends are the best scapegoats.
Then why don't Ash and the others leave the Beyond Building and wait outside?
Because the worship service was held at night, if Ash and his companions did not live in the Chaoyue Building, they would not dare to sleep outdoors at night. If Yindeng really took the Dharma away, they would have to wait until daytime in a nearby town to continue the pursuit, basically skipping this battle round.
Tamashi asked, "What if Silver Lantern really disguises herself as us and puts the blame of stealing the Dafa on us, have you thought of an escape route?"
Ash looked at Igula in surprise. Igula didn't look at him and said to Yashajin, "There's no need to escape. Once Silver Lantern successfully seizes the Dafa, it will inevitably cause chaos. She who can possess the spirit will definitely do so immediately and use the power beyond the Dafa to break out of the siege. By then, the worship will be interrupted and there will be chaos. We will be responsible for blocking the exit, and Ash will find an opportunity to possess the spirit of another person beyond the Dafa, and then we will attack Silver Lantern together. We will definitely catch that woman then."
Only now did Igula tell Tamashi about the plan.
"Aren't you afraid that the Transcendental Sect will also regard Ash as a snatcher?"
"As long as he doesn't try to take away the Dharma and helps intercept the Silver Lantern that is trying to snatch the Dharma, how can the Transcendental Sect be hostile to him?"
Igula smiled and said, "And unlike the Silver Lantern, Ash can be 100% absorbed in the spirit. You should understand the impact of this on the Transcendental Sect."
Tamashi suddenly realized. No matter which sect, 100% absorbed in the spirit is equivalent to the 'spokesman of the Dharma', and is undoubtedly the leader of the sect and the embodiment of the ideal. If Ash can show perfect absorption in the spirit and does not take away the Dharma, the Transcendental Sect will not hate him but will not like him either - as long as Ash does not follow the Transcendental Dharma, he is a heretic after all.
On this basis, if Ash helps intercept the Silver Lantern and retains the Dharma for the Transcendental Sect, even if he is a pagan, he can also fill up his reputation in the Transcendental Sect!
The lawful Transcendental Sect must repay Ash's kindness! However... "There is a big loophole in your plan." Tamashi said: "After Silver Lantern snatched the first Transcendental Dharma, she would either snatch the second one immediately, or the Transcendental Sect would guard the second one. In either case, we would not be able to get close to the second Dharma, not to mention that once a riot breaks out, the Transcendental Sect will definitely send people to keep an eye on us."
"First of all, rule out the possibility that she snatched both at once." Igula: "If that's the case, we can't do anything about it, but the Transcendental Sect, whose reactions are faster than consciousness, are unlikely to give her this opportunity."
"As for the possibility that the Transcendental Sect is guarding the second Dharma, it is indeed very high."
The Trickster raised three fingers: "But after knowing the three prerequisites, this obstacle will no longer exist for us." "The first prerequisite is that the parasitic god's combat power far exceeds that of a legendary one. We were able to hurt Silver Lantern before because we relied on your Gray Fox legacy, Tamashi.
Otherwise, no matter how clever our design is, as long as Silver Lantern is a parasitic god, we can break all crises with our strength." "The second prerequisite is that Silver Lantern needs to escape from the building, but the Transcendental Sect, whose self-consciousness is constantly weakening, will definitely risk their lives to stop her. There must be some parasitic god believers in the Transcendental Sect, and they pose a threat to Silver Lantern." "The third premise is that Silver Lantern is a greedy maniac, and here is an interior space that can be seen at a glance."
Tamashi's distorted voice became hoarser: "Could she-"
"There is no better battlefield than here." Igula said: "Silver Lantern will most likely try to seize the second Great Law by relying on the power of the soul-hosting, and in the process will constantly consume the high-level combat power of the Transcendent Sect. Even if it is really impossible, she has to kill those soul-hosting people who can threaten herself, and throw dirty water on us by the way, before she can escape the building with peace of mind." "With the increase in casualties, the Transcendent Sect will sooner or later not be able to take care of us, we just need to wait quietly for the opportunity."
The Trickster smiled: "Even if Silver Lantern fails to destroy the defense of the second Great Law, it doesn't matter. Tamashi, your Gray Fox blade is enough to penetrate that layer of defense, and then Ash can reach in and touch the Great Law to complete the soul-hosting. After that, it's time for us to save Transcendent and stop Silver Lantern."
Tamashi: "But this will kill a lot of people." "Yes, Silver Lantern will kill many people." Igula emphasized the name 'Silver Lantern': "But many people will survive because of us. If the Transcendent Sect did not send people to stop us, if we could get closer to the Dafa more easily, everything would be simpler... but there are no ifs." "Like we told them two days ago, there is a parasitic evil man who can disguise himself lurking in the building, but compared to us heretics, they trust their own security system more."
"If they were willing to trust us and conduct a carpet search of the building, Silver Lantern would have been caught long ago, and they would not have encountered such a disaster."
The man under the Black Crow mask wanted to speak, but the words were stuck in his throat after all.
The Crow Killing Sect has seen many things like this. Although they are simply trying to eliminate evil, things in the world are often not that simple, and not everyone is willing to believe them.
What's more, they are not always right.
There were poor people who didn't believe them and ended up with their entire family slaughtered; there were also unlucky people who believed them but ended up suffering heavy losses.
Compared to these outsiders, the Transcendent Sect naturally trusts their own judgment more.
Faced with the test paper of fate, everyone has his or her own answer. Until the results are announced, who would think that their answer is wrong?
Tamashi had seen this before, except that he hadn't faced it alone.
So he did the same as before, even though Kalan, Yelu and Tanomu were no longer by his side, he still asked his confusion: "We have already predicted everything, is there no better way?" "The world will not be so kind to us." Igula said: "Even if this result makes you feel unhappy, it is already the best we can do." "Yes." Ash also said: "Think about it carefully, we have indeed done the best within our capabilities." The trickster looked at the cult leader in surprise. He really didn't expect Ash to agree with him, even though the plan originally came from Ash's mouth.
"Are we unwilling to help the Transcendent Sect?
No, it's the Transcendent Sect that refuses to believe us, regards us as heretical merchants, and ignores the information we provide. If I must say, it's their own fault."
"If the Silver Lantern doesn't take action, we can't act either. The Transcendent Sect will only regard us as outsiders with ulterior motives. Only after the Silver Lantern snatches the Dafa and causes heavy casualties, will we have the opportunity to get close to the Transcendent Dafa, perfectly incarnate the spirit, save them as saviors, and fight against the evil Silver Lantern disaster."
"In this way, we can not only capture the Silver Lantern, but also gain the friendship of the Transcendent Sect and a pass to the Qinri Alliance..."
Ash looked at Igula: "Is that so?"
Igula met his gaze calmly: "Yes." "This is indeed the best plan, worthy of my... Guidance from the virtual world. "Yash said: "Although we knew everything, we did not collude with Silver Lantern to murder the Transcendent Sect. It was just the most helpless choice. The Transcendent Sect is not wrong. It is natural for them not to believe us, and it is impossible for them to let outsiders approach their great law. What does the Transcendent Sect have to do with us?
The only person who is wrong is Silver Lantern. She is a mobile disaster and the source of all evil. We are just her victims. " "It's just..." Ash frowned, closed his eyes, and his lips moved but his voice became smaller and smaller. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath, opened his bright eyes, and stared at Igula: "It's just that how can this world be like this? How can they do this? How can we do this! " As Ash asked questions one by one, his sanctuary rose quietly, covering everyone in it. Before they were surprised, Ash looked at Harvey and said: "Ghost King, help me attract the attention of everyone inside and disrupt their worship."
Harvey did not speak, but directly summoned Alice, activated the "Cold Flowing Fire" to enter the fusion state, and then walked to another passage.
At this moment, Ash suddenly remembered his conversation with Harvey in the afternoon, and laughed at himself for not being as quick as a necromancer. But thanks to Harvey's question, he was able to do it without any hesitation.
"Crowslayer, throw me in with all your might." Tamashi clenched his fist, and the sound was as if bones were exploding.
"Rusty Crow." Ash looked at Igula: "You should know how to cooperate with me, right?" "Of course." Igula lowered his eyebrows: "It has always been me who cooperated with you, and you never cooperated with me."
"Next time for sure." Ash smiled: "This time, just follow me and treat the world gently." Tamashi picked up Ash, and Ash was stunned: "Didn't I ask you to throw it over?"
"My running speed is much faster than your flying speed." "But I am a Sanctuary Magician after all, can you change your posture-" When Harvey transformed into a Hades Knight to spread despair and attract the attention of all transcendent believers to disrupt the worship, Tamashi's feet burst out with rapid thunder sounds, and almost in one breath, he ran to the fence of the audience and threw Ash out! Ash spread his golden and silver wings to adjust the flight trajectory, and fell from a height of 100 meters.
His goal-to surpass Dafa! He wanted to seize Dafa before Silver Lantern, follow Silver Lantern's path, and leave Silver Lantern with no way to go!
