When the 'Heavenly Dog' devoured the sun, the apocalypse descended. Xu Zhi, a young girl with a heart condition, was cruelly abandoned by her parents in a dead city.
Countless mutated...
The agent of the Heart looked confused for a moment.
In the brief seconds she was awake, she remembered what she was going to do.
She sensed the Cup's plan, she knew a shocking secret, she knew...
The function of that huge ritual circuit is not to isolate Liancheng, or rather, it is more than that!
The biggest function of that circuit is to collect flesh and blood and store energy for Him!
He is still the same He, and they were deceived at first!
Having been dormant for so long, He must have known a lot and planned a lot.
Must be stopped, must be told.
However, just as she was thinking this, her thoughts seemed to break, followed by a mosaic like snowflakes, and then her resolute expression seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
In the dark room, her expression gradually became gloomy, and her originally clear eyes seemed to be covered with a blood-red shadow.
She thought, no, she was wrong, she didn't see anything at all.
She just went in and took a look around, found nothing, and then came out.
The agent of [Heart] sat up from the bed. In just a short moment, her somewhat strange expression had returned to a very natural look.
Inside, unknown to anyone, her innate circuit was already emitting a bright red light.
She pushed open the door of the secret room, thinking that she should go and apologize to her friend. She had gone to Liancheng in person but found nothing.
Fortunately, she did not die in there as the other party predicted. This is already a very good result, isn't it?
Outside, in a large city.
For several days in a row, the city management bureau has been sending people to clear out the believers of the [Cup]. They even did not let go of ordinary people who had not yet become believers but were secretly worshipping the [Cup] at home, or extraordinary people who had made remarks close to the [Cup].
It seems that they would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go, and they are unwilling to even leave any flames.
Under such harsh measures, many believers have secretly slipped out of the city, and those who did not have time to leave were all killed by the Administration. It seemed that the [Cup] in this city was about to be banned.
On this day, on an inconspicuous civilian street in the city, a gangster in his thirties wearing a metal prosthesis was talking with his friends.
"Without those guys, we've lost a source of funding."
They don't care how much harm the [Cup] does. They only know that those idiots who desire the power of the [Cup] will buy a lot of things at high prices, even some illegal and very strange things. They can kill anyone and dismember the person into several pieces and sell them to those crazy idiots. It is a very profitable business.
"Shh! Do you want to die? How dare you bring this up!"
If you bring up this topic now, you might be invited to have a chat with the administration.
The man snorted unhappily. For desperate criminals like them, the Administration was naturally among the things they hated the most.
For some reason, he always feels uncomfortable with his new prosthetic body. Is it because it doesn’t fit him well?
That's not right. He spent a lot of money to get a better one this time. It shouldn't be worse than the cheap one he had before.
Forget it, I'll debug it tomorrow.
He didn't take the discomfort in his prosthetics seriously, but instead continued on with the previous topic. He wanted to say something more, but then he was concerned about his companion's mention of the Administration. In the end, he just opened his mouth and changed the subject: "Anyway, whoever can make me money is my faith."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the slightly horrified look in his companion's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
He was puzzled, but saw his companion's face full of fear. He took a few steps back as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, then stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly at his arm - where the new love's prosthesis was.
He was puzzled and looked down, then he saw it.
At some point, the originally exquisite new prosthesis became twisted and broken, and red blood crawled out of the prosthesis like tentacles, twisting the metal and climbing up his arms and body. At this time, half of his body was entangled by the blood like a python, and he, like a prey chosen by a snake, had already fallen without knowing it.
What shocked his companions even more was that when he saw this scene, he did not show any surprise or fear.
He just exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something: "So that's how it is. You saw it."
He raised his head and looked at his friend again. His normal eyes had turned pure black without him noticing. He showed a smile that was completely different from the past. There was something inhuman indifference and murderous intent in that smile: "Then you can't leave."
Screams emanated from this deserted alley, but no one cared about the tragedy happening here, simply because, at the same time, the same tragedy was happening inside countless cities!
Every person who was equipped with a prosthetic body produced by Liancheng seemed to be infected by a certain set program at this moment and became a believer of the [Cup]!
The city, which had been gradually returning to its former tranquility, once again fell into chaos even crazier than before!
This is simply because, prosthetics are like daily necessities for cities in this era, and their penetration rate is extremely high. Liancheng is the city with the largest production of prosthetics, especially the high-end and low-end markets are almost monopolized by Liancheng!
Only in the mid-range market is there room for other cities to grab market share, but most of it is occupied by consortiums cooperating with Liancheng!
Even many military and administrative personnel in the city were equipped with prosthetic bodies, which would help them better enforce the law or defeat the enemy, but at this moment, they became the culprits who dragged their own city into hell.
No one expected that all the prosthetic bodies produced in Liancheng were suddenly connected to the [Cup] today, directly infecting all the people who were equipped with the prosthetic bodies from the depths of their spirits and flesh.
You know, every prosthetic body is connected to a person's flesh, blood, and spirit, and Liancheng is favored by the world because of its excellent safety in this regard.
But no one expected that the safest prosthesis would, at this moment, reveal the secret door that the designer had installed for it long ago.
All the cities were plunged into dire straits in an instant, and the army that had originally planned to encircle Liancheng naturally had to give up the expedition.
After all, now even the army is in chaos, so how can they have time to care about Liancheng?
The world is in chaos at this moment.
But if there is no external force, this chaos will be quelled sooner or later.
We need another fire, a more thorough fire that will extinguish all the firewood and set the world on fire.
Thus, in this world, a piece of news was spread that made people in dire straits even more desperate.
——The agents of [Qi] and [Xin] fell on the same day!
At the same time, two agents were seriously injured due to betrayal from within the agent group!
One of the agents of death has taken refuge with the [Cup]!
This piece of news is undoubtedly adding insult to injury!
Even the great, omnipotent agents have surrendered to the Cup and died one after another. Who can stop the Cup?
Gods of other attributes?
But we haven't heard from them for so long!
Everyone is wondering whether they are dead!
Otherwise, why have the gods never shown up, nor responded to prayers? Over the long years, even their agents have never seen them or heard their orders?
At this point, could it be that the [Cup] is the destiny?
At this moment, people's hearts were shaken like never before, and the momentum of the [Cup] reached its peak at this moment.
Finally, the existence of the [Cup] became known to everyone again, and it even became more powerful than before.
The agent's betrayal and death became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and everything became chaotic.
Some people secretly instigated others, and those who were unintentional were trapped by others. In just a few days, the believers who had been almost killed began to emerge again like mushrooms after rain, and their numbers increased. However, even so, the archbishops of the Cup still did not show up, but allowed these ordinary believers to cause chaos.
However, without the [Archbishop] as the backbone, no matter how much these believers make trouble, they will eventually be suppressed.
The disappeared archbishops have undoubtedly become a major concern for the extraordinary people. At this point, they understand that [Cup] has already planned one conspiracy after another, and the archbishops who are still missing have become a shadow floating in their hearts.
"We must break their conspiracy before the Cup launches its next offensive!"
"What does the Great Prophet say?"
"She's still asleep."
"Did you ever say when you would wake up?"
"No, but she said that this time she would dream of something extremely crucial, and we should not disturb her."
"Damn, where are the other agents?"
"The one who made the casting returned to the Gods Heavy Industry, saying he had something important to tell us. As for the one who made the moth, as you know, we don't have any information about him. He's injured and is recuperating."
"So, there's no agent who can help now?"
Dong, Qi, and Xin are all dead. Is it possible that none of the remaining four can stand up at this moment and lead the extraordinary people to unite and fight back?
"how so?"
Someone asked in confusion, "The Cup has only been revived for less than half a year, right? How could it be so rapid?"
The counterattack of [Cup] was so fierce and swift, as if it had not just revived, but had been dormant for a long time, planning everything, and waiting for an opportunity to see the light of day again.
But how is this possible?
They had confirmed it again and again at the beginning. In fact, not only them, but even that unreachable existence reached out its hand, which confirmed that He was sealed.
For this, even huge sacrifices were made. It can be confirmed that the [Cup] was indeed completely destroyed at that time.
"Do you want to cooperate with the Gods Heavy Industry and use the method they mentioned?"
Someone asked cautiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.
After a while, someone replied: "It's not the end of the road yet. We can't..."
"That's too outrageous, and the success rate is unknown. If it's not absolutely necessary, it's better not to do it."
"Try your best first."
"The Gods Heavy Industry is the only solution. Now, don't think about it."
"First, unite with other cities to suppress the believers, and at the same time try to contact our gods to see if we can get a response."
Some people issued orders, but some people were not optimistic about the results.
"God? They are just extraordinary beings whose existence is unknown. They don't care about anything in the world. How can they be called gods? They are not even as good as them."
Not as good as the [Cup] attribute god, at least he will appear.
He was stopped before he could finish his words, but it was obvious that someone in the silent room agreed with what he said.
"Anyway, let's do this first."
Some people sighed, and others could only nod. After all, there was no better way now.
In the Lost Land, even if the main body knows nothing about the outside world, it can still know the great changes that have taken place in the world through its spiritual body.
"Prosthetic body?"
She suddenly thought of her classmates and the prosthetic body award she had received.
“That’s really…”
Are things that can turn people into believers given as rewards to talented students?
His heart is damnable.
If not only them, but also the chosen ones from other cities received this reward
This time, [Cup] really did something extreme.
Did you learn from the last lesson?
So this time it was even more amazing.
After preparing for so long, we finally gave the world a huge surprise.
"What should I do now?"
The situation outside was turbulent and no one could predict what would happen next, not even Xu Zhi. But she didn't care. She was even looking forward to what changes would happen in the world next. However, the power of the extraordinary people seemed to be at a disadvantage, and the situation where [Cup] dominated was not something she wanted to see.
But, just because the [Cup] has been dormant long enough, can it sweep across with the force of thunder?
Don’t the extraordinary people have any foundation to deal with it, and can only rely on those agents?
She felt that things were not necessarily the case.
What's more, she cares very much about [Gods Heavy Industry].
This organization gave her a very subtle feeling. At least, she didn't think that [Gods Heavy Industry] was really focused on cooperating with [Cup] and allowing [Cup] to seize the world.
She always felt that this organization must have its own plans, and they must be doing something shocking behind the scenes. So far, [Gods Heavy Industry] seemed to have only appeared secretly in various places, so low-key that it was difficult for Xu Zhi not to suspect them.
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning."
She was not in a hurry to wade into the muddy water, and first picked the peach that was about to be harvested.
In the past few days, her power has become more pure. Perhaps tonight will be the time when she can once again look up at the midnight sky and comprehend the rules.
The sun sets and midnight arrives as expected.
Xu Zhi unexpectedly discovered that after she had her own grave at midnight, she no longer appeared randomly somewhere at midnight, but would steadily fall next to her own grave.
At this moment, when she arrived after midnight, she just looked around casually, and then she saw a detail that made her pay attention.
The eternal lamp on her grave was moved.
Someone, or something, had touched the lamp, changing its position without removing it.
