Chapter 743: Industry eliminated the extraordinary
Well, I've dealt with quite a few of them. Now there are two of them in my family, and one of them has been promoted to a legendary doctor, Hughes thought to himself.
But it's hard to say these things out loud. It's not that I doubt Beatrice's loyalty, but mainly because Gwen and Gwen themselves don't know whether they are the "Named Persons".
"As for Lina, she once tried to infiltrate Castel as the Fire Moth, but was later discovered by Chloe. She escaped, leaving behind a shell. Then, she went to the North and tried to incite Bazel to attack Castel. You know the result."
Beatrice nodded and was about to say something when her eyes suddenly fixed: "Lina left behind a body?"
"Yes." Hughes was stunned. "Is it strange?"
"It's strange. Lina is indeed difficult to deal with. She has escaped the Vatican's encirclement several times, but her body has never been left behind."
Hughes blinked.
When you think about it this way, it does seem a bit strange.
Zeus didn't know the fighting power of the Named One before. Now think about it, Lina was only discovered by Chloe and Isaac at that time. With her subsequent performance, let alone escaping from these two people, she could easily win even in a head-on battle, right?
When the Fire Moths fled to Castel, there were only two or three cats left, but Lina was able to compete with the full-fledged Candlelight Clan.
If the banshee wasn't counted, Lina could basically single-handedly defeat the entire Castel at that time. If the banshee was counted, Lina could also easily escape - the banshee's tracking ability was not that strong.
hiss.
Beatrice and Zeus looked at each other and saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes: There was something strange about that body!
Xiu Si immediately opened the mind link: "Does anyone know where the body that was left behind when Lina was caught is? @Everyone"
"I know, it's at Test Site No. 7!"
"Ah, I'm at Test Site No. 7. Is that the body Gaia is using for the human transformation experiments she's conducting here?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I remember that body was sealed by the Fire Moth. She should be using the one left by the Pirate King."
Xius stood up and said, "The body is at Test Site No. 7. Let's go there together."
The mechanical temple's transformation technology is not too dangerous, at least it will not bring about any catastrophic consequences, so it has not been moved.
The two walked out of the room together and entered the elevator. Zeus had already contacted Gaia through the Banshee. When he and Beatrice stepped into the test site, Gaia and others were already waiting on the side.
"What happened, my lord?"
"We want to take a look at the body that Lina left behind. I suspect there might be something wrong with it."
Gaia was stunned for a moment, then she reacted. She looked at the several banshees who had gathered around her and her expression became serious: "Do we need to evacuate the surrounding non-essential personnel?"
"That's not necessary."
The banshees were holding dragon breath cannons, and some could even hold six of them. The firepower of four or five banshees was stronger than that of the 25-man Candlelight Society team. Add in Beatrice's legendary fountain, and Zeus felt very stable.
—Little Gwen hasn’t told Hughes yet that [Named Person] isn’t afraid of contamination.
Soon, the container sealing Lina's body was brought over.
The banshees also put on heavy armor and took up weapons. They were all available at the test site.
Zeus looked at the sealed container. In his original imagination, it should be something similar to a coffin. This could probably be considered the correct use of a coffin.
But the equipment that was moved in was not square. Judging from the appearance alone, it looked a bit like the Iron Maiden?
The sealing tool was made of an unknown material, but it did not leave much free space and instead fit the human body very tightly.
If you must say, it's a bit like the Terracotta Warriors, except there's a real person trapped inside.
"Why do all your Fire Moth stuff seem a little weird?"
"Really? It's all right." Gaia looked at the Terracotta Warriors with a puzzled look on her face. "These extraordinary ritual objects are all very strange and bizarre."
The effects of extraordinary rituals are often quite general and it is difficult for them to play a big role. Therefore, the major churches do not pay much attention to them, let alone improve their appearance.
Just make do with it if it works.
Zeus looked back at the banshees. In addition to Ash, there were several other banshees nearby who were already prepared.
"Open it and take a look."
Gaia nodded, placed her hand on the top of the Terracotta Warrior's head, then took out a booklet with her other hand and began to read the instructions.
Hughes: “.”
"Aren't you a transcendent from the Fire Moth? Why are you so unskilled in your job?"
"I'm also in charge of industrial technology and research and development within the Fire Moth. Who would want to learn these outdated rituals? Not only are they useless, but they're also cumbersome. Just follow the instructions."
Gaia said without looking up.
Zeus was completely speechless. Indeed, if a superhuman nowadays wanted to become stronger, the best thing to do was not to hone any superhuman skills.
Galahad was a skilled martial artist, but he was still hit by a train.
My mother-in-law is old and her physical condition has declined, but she can fight the [Investigator] head-on with the Dragon Breath Cannon.
There is no way, Castel's technology is developing too fast, and the supernatural power cannot keep up.
It is said that [Buried] has become the most popular way to transcendence. The priests of the Silent Temple who stayed in Castel spend all day in the testing ground and don't have to worry about any danger.
——They can’t die.
At most, she would be like Nora, broken into several parts.
Thinking of this, Zeus looked at Beatrice with pity. As an Investigator, the side effect of her ability was bad luck. No testing site would allow her to enter.
Gaia struggled with the instructions for a long time, and finally completed the ceremony with some difficulty.
With a slight cracking sound, the Terracotta Warriors shattered into pieces and crumbled into dust on the ground.
"Is this a one-time use?"
"Yes, when you need to seal it, apply holy mud, carve the ritual, and bake it dry."
The corner of Hughes's eye twitched. It really was the Terracotta Army.
As the dust settled, the appearance of the body was revealed to everyone.
"hiss"
Beatrice gasped, causing everyone to turn and look.
"Oh my god, it's exactly like the illustrations in the banned book. I mean, do you know how it feels to see the people illustrated in books hundreds of years ago appear before your eyes?"
Zeus nodded. He had not seen Lina very often, but he had seen this body before and had studied it with Chloe, but unfortunately they didn't get anything out of it.
After thinking about it, he sent someone to find Big Gwen again. Maybe she could find something.
Beatrice was the first to approach Lina's body and looked it over carefully.
She reached out and touched it a few times, her eyes shining again, and she used her extraordinary abilities to do something. Finally, she pulled out a hair and put it in her mouth to chew.
"So, what did you find?"
