Chapter 396 415. A Small Attempt
If power caused cities to quarrel and argue with each other, then absolute power made them stop quarreling.
At least, that's what it seems.
When the news spread that the [Agent] had returned to the city, the people and extraordinary people who had been in a panic because of the [Cup] all relaxed as if they had taken a reassurance pill.
"As long as the agent is here, everything will be fine."
This is the idea of a considerable number of ordinary extraordinary people. To them, "God" is an illusory concept, and the "Agent" is the "God" that can be touched and truly protects them.
With the [Agent], all the cities soon reached a consensus and took the lead in clearing out the [Cups] in their own cities, and then launched a general attack on Liancheng, without the need for negotiation, and directly wiped them out.
So in the following days, believers continued to escape from their respective cities and come to Liancheng. The barrier of Liancheng was only not protected against the [Cup], and believers could easily enter the barrier. After observing this, other cities also tried to "carry" something on the fleeing believers and let them bring it into Liancheng. However, the believers who presided over the overall situation in Liancheng were not fools, and they naturally thought of this.
Most of the time, they were able to discover the gadgets carried by some believers in time, but there would be times when they overlooked them. If the "Archbishop" was there, there would naturally be no such omissions, but unfortunately, Xu Zhi was being lazy.
She didn't care about the situation in the world at all, she just wanted them to beat their brains out.
So while the outside world was clearing out their own city, they also obtained some information about Liancheng. For example, they determined through some small means that there was no archbishop of the [Cup] in Liancheng.
"How strange! They go to all that trouble to pollute an entire city, only to release a few... small shrimp?"
During a meeting targeting Liancheng, someone couldn't help but wonder.
The meeting was in the form of a holographic image, and in the upper part, several mysterious figures neither revealed their faces nor spoke a word.
That is the will of the Agent.
"It made such a big noise that everyone's attention was drawn there. Is this some kind of deception?"
They had never thought of it this way before. After all, if this was a deception, the price would be too high and it would not be worth it no matter how they thought about it. However, after their investigation, they found out that there was no [Archbishop] in this city. Even if there was a loop barrier, it would not be unbreakable in front of the [Agent]. Once it was broken, Liancheng would be just a lamb to be slaughtered.
In the previous generation, there were seven [Agents] and seven archbishops of the [Cup]. But the bad thing was that the [Cup] also had a [Pope]. In order to wipe out the [Cup], the Extraordinary Camp paid a huge price. Looking back now, it is still chilling and tragic.
Many people speculated that the agents suffered irreparable injuries in that battle, which was actually very obvious, especially [Winter], one of the main output players, who had now fallen directly.
Almost everyone present agreed that the one who killed [Dong] was the Pope hidden in [Cup]!
The next agent of [Winter] has not yet appeared. Now, there are only six agents left, and they don’t even know how many [Archbishops] there are in this generation!
However, according to the news, there are already four people who have appeared.
"A deception? I don't think so. On the contrary, I think the fact that there is no archbishop in the city is a deception!"
Several people started arguing based on this news, but the agents sitting high up in the room said nothing and watched everyone argue in silence.
In the end, no conclusion was reached that convinced everyone, so we could only ask the agents who were observing the meeting.
The six figures were very illusory, as if something was covering them, making it impossible to see their appearance and figure. However, although they were just holographic images through the Internet, they still exuded a majesty that made people want to bow their heads involuntarily.
The conference room was silent for a few seconds, and then a voice sounded from above. It was obviously just an ordinary tone, but it seemed to carry a certain rhythm. Every word fell clearly into the ears of all the listeners, making people involuntarily ignore her originally quite ordinary tone and feel as if they were listening to heavenly music.
I'll go check it out.
She just said such a simple sentence, but those who participated in the meeting below the shadow showed joy on their faces.
"It would be best if you were willing to go."
Someone complimented.
But it's not a complete compliment.
They cannot directly ask the agent to do anything, but in the expectation, this person is naturally the best one to go.
Because she is the Heart.
With the decision of the agent, the meeting came to a quick end.
Everyone else left, only the six figures sitting high remained in the conference room.
A figure moved his fingertips slightly, as if forming some kind of incantation, before speaking: "This is not an easy task."
As soon as she finished speaking, [Xin] quickly said, "No, please don't continue."
The person who was interrupted didn't get angry. He seemed to be twisting his hair with his fingers and said slowly, "Why are you so nervous? I'm not a bad person who only knows good things and bad things."
I couldn't see Kokoro's expression, but I could tell from her tone that she seemed to be quite close to her interlocutor: "I'd rather it be that way."
"Don't worry, I've been learning a new method of fortune-telling recently. According to my calculations just now, you shouldn't die on this trip."
After hearing this, [Xin]'s focus was instead: "Is there a method of calculation in this world that you don't know about? Do you need to learn it?"
This is really rare.
Hearing this, the person seemed to chuckle: "That's not the case. I say learning, but in fact, it's a new thing I recently researched. However, the effect is not very good. Nine times out of ten, I get wrong results. I'm still thinking about how to improve it so that it can detect wrong results ten times out of ten."
[Heart] stopped talking.
"laugh."
Someone sneered: "It sounds like your trip is very dangerous. Do you want me to go with you?"
He said "accompany", but the tone did not sound like concern, but rather like ridicule.
"You want to go with me? You'd rather follow behind and pick up the spoils."
【Heart】returned coldly.
The implication is, who doesn't know your evil ambitions?
The [Agents] are not united with each other. Sometimes, their relationships are quite bad, and there are also people who covet the lives of their kind.
They have been in the position of [Agents] for too long, and it seems that the road to transcendence has reached its peak. No matter what, they cannot break the shackles above their heads. What's more, in the battle against the [Cup], almost all of them were injured and have not recovered yet. So some of them became ambitious. This ambition made their peers feel dangerous, and naturally they did not want to associate with them.
"Well, it's time. I should go to bed. Good night everyone~"
"By the way, I had a dream a few days ago. In the dream, everyone was in a very bad state. So, don't underestimate our opponents. Please act with caution."
"Although being cautious doesn't necessarily help."
After all, she rarely had such "dreams", and every time, the contents of the dream would come true.
After she finished speaking, her figure disappeared in the conference room, apparently having left.
"Then I'll be leaving too."
Before anyone else could say anything, [Xin] left.
The remaining few people didn't have any special relationship with each other, and they all left the meeting room in silence until only two people were left.
"Get ready, the opportunity has arrived."
The man who had never spoken before looked at the only person left in the conference room besides himself and spoke.
"I've been prepared for this for a long time."
The person who responded was the same person who had ridiculed [Xin] before.
After saying these two short sentences, the two disappeared from the meeting room.
The conference room returned to silence, as if there had never been any secret conversation before.
Lost place, midnight.
As dawn approached, Xu Zhi still failed to successfully portray the fragment of "rules" in his mind.
She was not discouraged. After all, she had prepared herself for the fact that this would not be easy. If she could accomplish it easily, it would make her question her life.
Soon, the sky began to brighten slightly, and the atmosphere of midnight dissipated like a tide when the first ray of sunlight appeared.
Under the sunlight, the trees returned to their normal appearance, and the eternal lamp that Xu Zhi hung on his grave disappeared into the air at midnight.
But there is indeed an extra tree here, even in the daytime.
"Has midnight affected reality?"
Or is this place inherently associated with midnight?
Xu Zhi only thought about it for a moment and then put the question behind him. Now was not the time to think about these things.
Today, she didn't plan to start hunting immediately, but instead planned to make a small attempt.
In the past, she had thought that she could successfully depict the circuits of [Moth] and [Lamp] simply because she had an extraordinary affinity for these two attributes. Of course, this must have been a reason as well.
But now she knew that the most fundamental reason was not because of affinity.
And now, she believes that the affinity of all her attributes will not be low.
So, why not try to depict other attribute loops?
If it were before, Xu Zhi would never have had this idea. She was courting death, but she was not really looking for death.
Now that I know the peculiarity and inclusiveness of her talent circuit, I can naturally give it a try.
"Then let's start with the heart."
She planned to first create attributes that her clan did not have, which were naturally [Heart] and [Inspiration].
Compared to [Qi], she wants [Heart] more. Even though her self-healing ability is strong enough, she is not immortal after all. And with [Heart], she can be more daring in seeking death, so naturally she will try [Heart] first.
After making the decision, Xu Zhi asked her followers to stay around her. She did not rush to try it out, but tried to recall her feelings when she first created the [Lamp] circuit, and her actions when she created the [Moth] circuit again.
When she reached the final state, perhaps because of the blessing of the [Light] attribute, Xu Zhi could almost recall every action she had taken and even the most subtle feelings exactly, which undoubtedly made things much more convenient for her.
After confirming the successful examples he had done, Xu Zhi began to try to build the [Heart] attribute circuit.
Compared to the confusion and desperation when building the [Lamp] for the first time, and the cautiousness and constant attempts when building the [Moth], this time it was obviously much more relaxed.
Experience and a better understanding of himself allowed Xu Zhi to start this experiment calmly.
She skillfully used [Authority] to control the extraordinary energy of [heart] attribute in her body that had always made her feel uncomfortable and even a little repulsive, and moved it to the empty space on the side of the two exquisite circuits.
The circuit of a superhuman being is not a flat surface but three-dimensional, and the location of the circuit in each person's body is different. It depends on the location where the superhuman being subconsciously places it when she awakens.
This position exists within the body, but is not connected to the flesh and blood, does not occupy the space of other "organs", and can even coexist with them or penetrate them.
As the extraordinary people are promoted step by step, the location of the talent circuit gradually becomes more hidden, and even cannot be easily detected.
It is not difficult to destroy the extraordinary circuit of the Knower. Even the location of the circuit is not completely hidden. The trace can be found by breaking open the body. However, it takes some effort to destroy the extraordinary circuit of the Named One. At least on the physical body, the trace of the circuit can no longer be seen. It is necessary to use extraordinary items or abilities to find it.
Therefore, at this moment, when Xu Zhi used [Authority] to guide the [Heart] attribute energy to carve extraordinary circuits in her body, the extraordinary abilities would often pass through some organs in her body, but they would not affect each other.
This was the third time Xu Zhi had carved the core of this circuit. For her, something that had been successfully done once could be considered proficient, not to mention having done it successfully twice.
Even though this time there was a double repulsion of [Moth] and [Light], and the temptation of loss was chattering in his mind, Xu Zhi was still able to carefully depict every small detail in the circuit with great calmness.
This is undoubtedly a long process, because this circuit is too delicate, and there is not much [heart] attribute energy in her body. If she fails once, she can only hunt [heart] again to replenish the energy, so she can only be careful and careful, and try to complete it smoothly without any mistakes.
In the early stages of this portrayal, Xu Zhi encountered almost no difficulties. Of course, whether it was attribute conflicts or other interferences, they were not difficult in her opinion.
When the circuit was almost complete, the "hand" holding the pen in her mind suddenly began to feel heavy.
It was as if something was holding her back, preventing her from finishing the final stroke.
Faintly, thunder seemed to be heard in the Lost Land under the clear sky.
Xu Zhi turned a deaf ear to this and focused only on fighting the strong repressive force in her consciousness, trying her best to prevent herself from trembling when she "put pen to paper". She didn't know what was preventing her from depicting the circuit, she just felt that this obstruction was not so unavoidable.
Ignoring the thunder in the sky that seemed to be issuing a warning, Xu Zhi did not hesitate to use all the extraordinary energy of the [Light] attribute that he had just recovered on [Authority], leaving no way out for himself. Then he went straight to the core circuit that had been drawn out long ago and made the most crucial move.
