Suppressing the spiritual polluters in the city and capturing a polluter for experiments are obviously not contradictory and can be carried out simultaneously.
The situation of the former was not optimistic. In just one hour, the number of psychic polluters in the city quickly increased from 23 to 118. They wandered on the blocked streets, broke into buildings on both sides of the street and attacked residents despite the shooting of the Templars and sheriffs.
The experiment on the other hand also went smoothly. Since the scientific research data was obtained from the abandoned subway station, all the conditions and parameters were readily available, and the priests only needed to repeat the experiment according to the data.
Experiments have shown that anyone attacked by an ethereal polluter will be transformed into an ethereal polluter within 20-30 minutes. The clinical feature is a translucent spiritual figure spreading from behind, which contains a large amount of supernatural power and will significantly enhance the polluter's ability to resist being killed.
In terms of attack targets, the Ectoplasm Polluters also show a high degree of selectivity:
For "pure-blooded humans" who have never ingested spiritual substances, spiritual polluters look down on them and have no intention of attacking them at all.
For ordinary people who have not upgraded but have ingested spirituality (such as killing or eating extraordinary creatures), the Ecto-Plasma Polluters show a certain interest in attacking.
This attack mainly uses the vines of the spirit behind to pierce the opponent. It will not cause bleeding or actual wounds, but it will gradually transform it into a spirit polluter.
For extraordinary people with levels, spiritual polluters develop a strong desire to attack.
There are not many ways to kill an ectoplasm polluter, and physical attack is the least efficient method. Autopsies have proven that even if an ectoplasm polluter loses too much blood, his mutated spirit body will replace the blood to maintain life.
On the contrary, energy attacks have better effects. For example, fire, electric shock or laser can directly bombard the translucent spirit spreading behind the target and effectively kill it.
After the spirit behind them was annihilated, the contaminated humans also showed different symptoms. If the target was an ordinary person before being contaminated, they would suffer certain physical and mental damage, but not enough to be fatal; if it was an extraordinary person, they would almost lose control and die on the spot.
Therefore, the result is obvious. The Spiritual Tree is a special weapon specially developed by extreme humanist forces to deal with extraordinary people.
So after the Level 4 Martial Law Order was issued, a fierce debate immediately broke out at the Cardinals' Conference on how to deal with the large number of spiritual polluters that appeared in the city.
How many people are ordinary people without any rank, but have absorbed spirituality? Raphael roughly estimated that this number accounts for about 30% of the total population of Solomon City, but they are the richest group of people.
Because only rich people would buy the meat of extraordinary creatures to taste it.
Among the cardinals, people from wealthy Italian families like Licinius, Medici, and Este were naturally strongly opposed to the policy of appeasement and insisted on using the maximum force to suppress the rebellion.
The second group is the bishops who come from ordinary families. They are confident that they do not have any spiritual qualities and their families do not have any relatives who have eaten extraordinary creatures. Therefore, most of them try to demonstrate from various angles how difficult it is to suppress spiritual polluters, and the most crucial point is that "as long as they are not extraordinary, they can be saved even if they are polluted."
