After observing for a while, Jiang Cheng found that the other party looked calm and showed no signs of surprise as he should have when he discovered Qiming Star, so he put down his suspicion a little.
Jiang Cheng's worry is justified. The afterimages of time and space are not as simple as game characters. They are people with real memories who have existed before and now. Communicating with them is naturally not as simple as clicking OK at the game NPC. On the contrary, it is much more complicated. Just a simple act can change people's subconscious thinking, and then produce a series of uncontrollable changes like the butterfly effect. Jiang Cheng always adopts a cautious attitude towards variables that cannot be controlled.
Next, after everyone had a brief exchange, Chu Honghu also revealed their original plan.
"In fact, we have found out the plan of this Mithras envoy. He is going to conduct a blood sacrifice of a hundred people here to summon the clone of the ancient god Mithras into the world." Chu Honghu said, "Once it is done, If he succeeds, the entire world will be plunged into a state of eternal disaster. Therefore, our action this time is to destroy this ceremony."
Cui Benshan asked according to the process in his memory, "The blood sacrifice of a hundred people is extremely dangerous. What should we do specifically to have a chance of success?"
Chu Honghu glanced at Cui Benshan and replied, "With our strength, it is impossible to directly destroy the ceremony, and we cannot resist those mutated monsters alone. Therefore, we can only sneak into the core of the ceremony quietly, that is, Observatory, then kill the Mithraic emissary who controls the ritual!"
"Kill the ancient god's envoy?" Cui Benshan pretended to be surprised, and then mused, "As of now, this is the only way! But those who can arrange a blood sacrifice of hundreds of people are all bishop-level envoys. We people, really Can it succeed?"
Lie Zhennan chuckled and said, "If we just rely on us, of course we won't be able to succeed."
Cui Benshan looked at Lie Zhennan and said, "I have seen something behind you exuding an unusual aura. What is it?"
Chu Honghu faintly uttered two words, "God's evildoer."
Duan Fei couldn't help but be moved, and blurted out, "Godly evil? An artifact guarded by a stranger from this world!"
Chu Honghu looked at Duan Fei, "You know?"
Lie Zhennan was also surprised and said, "The existence of divine evil is extremely hidden. Only the top leaders of the Born Stranger clan and other Stranger clan leaders know about it. How did you learn about it?"
Duan Fei was immediately speechless. He also knew about this because of the authority of the clan leader, but now he couldn't explain it like this, and he was embarrassed for a while.
Cui Benshan quietly transmitted the message, and Duan Fei parroted, "I accidentally heard an old man in the clan mention it when he was drunk."
"Who is that person?" Lie Zhennan said angrily, "The secrets of the clan are child's play. You shouldn't tell them even after drinking. Tell him his name, and when I get back, I will enforce the clan rules as a warning to others!"
Duan Fei could only apologize and said with a smile, "The old man has passed away, and I have never mentioned this matter to outsiders. The deceased is the most important, brother Lie, can you just let him go?"
Lie Zhennan snorted heavily and stopped talking, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Duan Fei secretly squeezed his sweat and deliberately tightened his mouth to prevent himself from talking too much.
Chu Honghu didn't care about the scene just now, but continued, "Although the ancient god apostle is powerful, this evil is its nemesis just like the real person in the legend. Moreover, compared to the real person, the evil is more lethal The power is more direct. As long as the ancient god's messenger is successfully hit, the opponent will die immediately! However, the strong pole will be broken, and the god's evil will be damaged, which will take a long time to warm up and repair. A hundred years ago, if the god's evil had not been destroyed by the ancient god If the envoy had polluted it first, it would not have caused such heavy casualties. It is for this reason that the birth clan protects the divine evil very closely, and the younger generation does not even know the existence of this artifact."
Cui Benshan nodded and said, "I see, then let's set off now!"
Everyone also knew that time was urgent, so they immediately stopped talking nonsense and set off according to the established route.
Looking from a high place, I saw a group of thirteen people diving into the forest and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
However, a hundred meters away, at the top of an old tree, a strange bird with a distorted image crouched on it. The seven or eight eyes of different sizes on his forehead were always staring in the direction in which everyone was leaving, as if a mouth made of two palms were constantly opening and closing, making disgusting and hairy screams.
On the observatory, Liang Fan looked into the distance and suddenly felt something in his heart. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said: "Finally found it!"
At this time, Jiang Cheng and his party were not aware of this yet and were continuing to move forward cautiously.
Along the way, Cui Benshan finally began to tell everyone what he recalled.
Cui Benshan said to everyone, "Our mission in this game is to protect this group of people from arriving at the observatory safely, so that they can successfully assassinate the Mithraic messenger Sun Fengen. Because hundreds of people were transformed into monsters that year, the nightmare Mist arranged for hundreds of people to participate in the game. However, due to the Wusheng Cult, after each start, all participants were transformed into lycanthropes, and instead became the enemy's accomplices, making the game more difficult."
Jiang Cheng frowned and asked via voice transmission, "These monsters look scary, but with your strength, as long as you're careful, they shouldn't be insurmountable."
Cui Benshan smiled bitterly and said, "Now these monsters are only in the first stage. When we join Chu Honghu and the others, the monsters will enter the second stage, and their strength will continue to increase as time goes by. Not only that, if we are blindly careful on the road Avoiding and ignoring time will allow the ritual to be completed, and the final mission will still be a failure."
Duan Fei said, "If this is the case, then now should be the best time. Let's kill them as soon as possible."
Cui Benshan still shook his head and said, "The distance from us to the observatory is not very short, and it is impossible to get there in a short time. Moreover, if we are exposed to the enemy's sight, it will only accelerate their evolution and accelerate the consumption of ourselves. Strength. Although Chu Honghu is an afterimage of time, he still has the wisdom before him, and the way he chooses to move forward is already the best choice. Not only that, this person is also extremely alert, and he will be noticed if he is not careful. There are clues. If Chu Honghu discovers the truth and knows that he is a time and space afterimage, the entire team will be shaken, and the next game will only develop in an unfavorable direction."
"So, no matter what, we can't let them know the truth!" Cui Benshan warned everyone through a message.
Jiang Cheng nodded, turned around and accidentally saw Lin Yu frowning, with an unspeakable complex emotion on his face.
The team has gone deep into the mountain forest and is heading towards the star observatory. Although everyone moved forward carefully and the route was very secretive, the feeling of silence around them made people feel uneasy.
Duan Fei couldn't help but ask, "What should we do next."
Cui Benshan's face became serious and he said slowly, "Next, the chess game is about to begin."
"Chess game?" Duan Fei didn't understand what he meant.
Above the sky, a strange bird flew across the sky so fast that only an afterimage was left behind, as well as that disgusting and terrifying cry.
In the distance, connect Tianfeng, below the star observatory. Ou Luhe, Jin Yu and Ji Meng were standing on the mountainside platform. Looking down the mountain, the botanical garden is being transformed in this horrific ritual. Originally lush and green, due to the pollution of mutated monsters, it gradually showed dazzling colors, as if some kind of huge poisonous creature was slowly awakening on this land.
Ou Luhe's eyes were blank on his old face, as if he were blind. After a moment, an excited smile appeared on his face and he said, "The chess game is about to begin!"
Jinyu didn't look at the old man, but turned around and looked towards the mountain road. Ji Meng came over and said with a smile, "That kid is here to seek death again."
As he was talking, someone indeed appeared on the mountain road and was walking towards the platform below.
The person who came was none other than Mithraic disciple Liang Fan.
