Chapter 615: Four [Demons] and the [Greedy Demon] Gather Together
In the silent environment, only the piece of meat was wriggling, and faint rustling mutterings came into his mind.
Lu Yuan said with sweat on his forehead: "Seniors, is this part of the epoch disaster?"
[It is difficult to draw a conclusion with the naked eye. You have to try it with your eternal flame... The glass is transparent, and the light seems to be able to shine through. Be gentle and don't break the glass.]
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, his fingers glowed red, and he opened the alien space for 0.001 seconds.
The red light condensed into threads and shot out like a laser!
He immediately used the alien space again to protect himself.
A strange thing happened! With the infusion of this ray of eternal fire, the faces of those who kept howling in pain actually melted away like ice and snow! That piece of flesh and blood returned to calm.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but wonder: "Are these pieces of meat so sensitive to external stimuli?"
The strangers discussed for a long time before explaining: [That strange face just now seemed to be the malice condensed from a living being... It was directly wiped out by your eternal fire. ]
Another stranger said: [I think so too. I think the wriggling flesh is just ordinary. It is not as good as a real disaster. Is it really the result of suppression? ]
"This life's malice is actually useful?" Lu Yuan was really doubting his life.
[Alas, there is always a way out. The times are always changing, and we have no way of predicting what strange technologies will appear in the future.]
The old aliens didn’t know everything, and they discussed it for a long time but still couldn’t reach a consensus.
Lu Yuan could only turn his gaze to a higher level.
There are glass windows on the first floor, but there are no windows on the second and third floors, so it is impossible to see what is inside.
However, the cold and chilly atmosphere here is real. Lu Yuan guessed that there might be ghosts or other terrifying creatures imprisoned here.
He didn't dare to try anything recklessly. If something went wrong, he would be in big trouble.
At this moment, the lights nearby suddenly lit up, and the rumbling sound of an aircraft was heard in the distance.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan was hiding in a different space, and people from the outside world could not find him directly.
Looking closely, I saw a large group of ruins octopus people, who came here with a diplomatic team from a certain civilization.
The individuals of this civilization look a bit like pangolins, wearing white cloth robes, a hat on their heads, and their two small eyes rolling around.
When the pangolins saw the ball of flesh and blood, all the scales on their bodies stood up - the flesh and blood was not intimidating enough for the greedy demon god, but for ordinary creatures, the weird appearance and grotesque aura alone were enough to scare them paralyzed.
“My lords, are you so anxious? It’s getting late now, and we are really panicking staying here... We are afraid that this epoch-making disaster will pounce and eat us.” The pangolin leader stood in front of the tower, trembling with fear.
The octopus man cursed: "What are you afraid of? It is our duty to seal the disaster of the era. If we seal it one second earlier, we can delay the time of this era by hundreds of days!"
His righteous attitude and fearless determination shocked Lu Yuan who was hiding in another space.
“Do these guys really think they’re doing something great to save the world?
"We have been here for several epochs and have not been afraid of our duties. What should you be afraid of?!" The tone of the people in the ruins softened a little. "You should know that this is a great contribution to the entire era! And we will also give you value. Why are you panicking?"
"You are right." The pangolin leader nodded and opened a metal box containing a blood-red stone tablet.
Lu Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at it carefully! That was the "blood brick" that collected everyone's blood, which could be exchanged for a high value in the ruins.
The strange people in the ruins used a strange crystal ball-like instrument to illuminate the bloody stele.
"Your civilization has a population of 8.989 million, and its technological strength has reached the standard of a mid-level second-level civilization. Its future potential has reached the C-level standard... However, your civilization has not been favored by Pangu's will. Its internal development momentum is poor, its racial value is below average, its intelligence is above average, its wealth distribution is uneven, the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and its development momentum is average..."
The pangolin was stunned by what he said. How do you know all this? Once history is sold, it is like having your clothes stripped off and your naked body admired by others.
The octopus man said in a tone of regret: "You really need to work harder. This kind of civilization is too common in Pangu Continent and too ordinary. So we give it a value of 66,000. What do you think?"
The pangolin leader was delighted, as the value of 66,000 could solve his urgent needs and buy a lot of supplies.
But on the surface, he said: "Sir, is that all? In order to consolidate this blood brick, we spent a lot of effort to convince the people."
"You know, this kind of strange thing, there is a lot of internal opposition."
The other party replied coldly: "Your civilization is not strong enough. Whether it is your internal system, technology, humanities, or your contribution to Pangu Continent, or the world's will's recognition of your civilization, it is only at the level of ordinary living beings."
"Giving you a C-level standard is pretty good! Don't bargain here. If you can't make it, you can just leave without making a deal!"
The pangolin's scales stood up, and it felt vaguely annoyed.
But his identity and status are nothing in front of the fifth-level civilization!
What's more, this blood brick can only be sold at a high price in this relic.
If you put it somewhere else, who would want your blood product? "Sir, I bargained for the sake of our civilization to become stronger..."
The octopus man's tone improved a little: "How about this, I'll give you an extra 500 value points, which is the maximum value within my authority. I'm not the owner of the ruins, I'm just working here..."
…
Upon hearing this, the old strangers in the Immortal Palace started discussing it again.
[I have a rough idea: this strange 'blood brick' can guide the world will of Pangu Continent to suppress the monsters in the tower. ]
[The higher the weight of a civilization in the world will, the better the effect of suppression. ]
[For a civilization like this, the weight is relatively low, so the effect of suppression is naturally very general... Of course, this is just my guess. ]
Lu Yuan nodded and continued to observe the transaction between the two parties.
After some discussion, Pangolin finally handed over the "blood brick".
The aliens in the ruins stuffed this thing into a machine, and soon, it turned into a scarlet halo, pouring into the interior from the top of the tower.
It seemed as if a sharp cry like that of a baby came from the void.
With a soft "嘤" sound, the pangolins lost their balance and fell to the ground.
When they stood up again, they found that they were bleeding from all seven orifices. They were obviously terrified and worried, fearing that they had violated some taboo.
"Did you see that? Even in its sealed state, this thing can still launch a strong counterattack." The octopus man said earnestly, "But this means that our seal is effective! You are worthy of pride!"
"We still have to wait for a while to see the effect of the seal."
The pangolins apparently accepted this statement and endured the increasingly harsh "wailing" sounds.
The old stranger in the Immortal Palace asked: [Lu Yuan, have you felt the coming of the world's will? ]
"No...no." Lu Yuan frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head.
He is now in the state of the Greedy Demon God. Even if separated by a different space, he should be able to keenly feel the "will of the world".
But there really was no movement.
"If there really is a major hidden danger here, won't the world's will take the initiative to suppress it?"
[Alas, no, the world will is very smart in some areas, but very stupid in some areas. It actually does not have the subjective initiative similar to life, especially for some internal affairs, it is quite powerless. ]
[You can think of it as the immune system. It is very powerful in the face of foreign bacteria, but it is powerless in the face of endogenous diseases such as cancer, and it cannot even recognize cancer cells. ]
"I think I understand..." Lu Yuan nodded.
The scarlet light illuminates the bottom layer of flesh, like a layer of blood film made of blood.
Accompanied by a harsh sound.
Those strange and vague human faces reappeared once again. The twisted faces were baring their teeth and claws, struggling to get out of the flesh and blood, which frightened the pangolins watching nearby and made them tremble with fear, and blood even gushed out of their capillaries.
But they persisted.
At this time, the crystal man in the fairy palace spoke again: [What the hell is this... something is wrong. "
"How did this blood integrate with the evil thoughts of living beings? How can this guide the will of the world?"
The world will is a neutral existence, with no special good intentions, but no bad intentions either.
"Heaven and earth have no benevolence, and treat all things as straw dogs." This sentence means that heaven and earth treat all things the same, neither being particularly good to anyone nor particularly bad to anyone, and everything develops naturally.
But now the scene is clearly developing in the direction of evil and chaos.
Another old snake man suddenly said: [I feel like this thing is a bit like a special curse. ]
[And it looks a bit like a blood curse, specifically used to curse relatives. ]
Everyone was stunned.
【Don't worry, I'll take a look. 】
The technology of "curse" is a remote and mysterious existence in idealism. Although humans have a few people with the ability to curse, they are not systematic and can only use it on their own.
Only a very small number of civilizations, with a large number of talented people, can develop the discipline of curses.
And the civilization that the old snake man lives in just happens to have some exposure to this.
[Why do I feel that the probability of the bloodline curse being true is 90%? ]
[Could it be possible to curse those beings to death... Impossible, absolutely impossible! This bloodline curse is only effective on relatives and friends. It is an extremely sinister existence...]
[Perhaps the people imprisoned here are different from what we imagined? ]
"Could it be that those pangolins have a great ancestor?" Lu Yuan asked, "That's impossible. They are just an ordinary civilization..."
【Perhaps, their ancestors rebelled? 】
[It should be that the ancestors of many civilizations rebelled, and the sealing ceremony of this tower was established... Because no matter which civilization condensed the blood bricks, the ruins will be purchased. 】
But it seems quite strange no matter how you think about it.
The grotesque human face lasted for half a quarter of an hour, and Lu Yuan heard a heavy sigh again.
All the flesh and blood stopped moving.
"The effect is better than expected!" The alien in octopus form said, "Then I'll convert it into 66,500 worth of it. How about that? Add another 1,000!"
"Thank you, sir!" The voice was full of joy.
These pangolins wiped the blood off their faces, and each of them looked exhausted.
The old snake said: [Heh, if you activate the blood curse, you will naturally have some backlash. I guess everyone in their city has similar symptoms, and it is still unknown whether there will be any consequences.]
Lu Yuan raised his eyelids and thought to himself: "With such serious sequelae, it is impossible for humans to sell their own blood anyway."
These pangolins began to discuss what they should buy. 66,500 can buy the technology of third-level civilization!
But having too much value in hand is not necessarily a good thing. They are only a second-level civilization and may not be able to keep their wealth.
The leader said: "We must improve our military strength!"
"We want to buy production lines for Apocalypse tanks, multi-purpose infantry vehicles, and Kirov airships... well, some third-level civilization technology trees..."
The octopus man laughed and said, "This thing is worthless, I can just give you some scraps..."
"You still need to speed up the pace of development."
Next, the pangolins and the strange people from the ruins left one after another, and the place fell into silence again.
Lu Yuan continued to wait for more than an hour. The old aliens kept discussing but could not reach a consensus.
It was already two o'clock in the morning, and the surrounding environment was getting darker.
He thought to himself, "If it doesn't work, I might as well control a few octopuses and find out the result."
But it is obvious that these octopus people are just workers and are deeply proud of their careers, and it doesn't seem like they are pretending.
Even if he could control it, he wouldn't be able to get any information.
"What's more, a Level 5 relic even has a brain chip. Maybe there are some means of anti-control... I must be cautious."
"Forget it. This kind of investigation cannot be rushed. We still have to rely on human power to investigate slowly."
Just as he was about to escape from the sewer, he suddenly noticed a dark shadow slowly approaching the tower.
Two figures slowly emerged from the darkness and began to study the tower carefully.
"Isn't that... Solomon? How come he is here?" Lu Yuan's pupils dilated, the hair on his body stood up, and he was filled with shock and doubt.
One of the shadows possesses a very strange ability.
God's skill - Black shadow barrier! A gray-black mist enveloped the surrounding monitoring equipment, temporarily blocking the electronic equipment. This magical ability was quite mysterious, and seemed to be able to block the spread of information. All monitoring equipment still worked normally, but could not capture the two figures.
As for the other Solomon, there was no trace of emotion in his cold eyes. Even when facing the sealed object in the tower, he did not show any fear. He just looked at the tower with a stern face.
Vision [Demon]! And there are two of them.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but secretly groan, this world is really in dire straits.
If you encounter any Atagan civilization, you will find that its leader has been possessed by the devil.
"What is the [Demon] doing here?"
The two figures were seen very carefully, patrolling the surroundings. After making sure that the black shadow barrier had blocked all surveillance, they began to communicate boldly.
Solomon said in a calm tone: "This matter cannot be delayed any longer. So many blood curses are about to erase his last wish."
Lu Yuan was shocked.
Solomon: "Thinking back then, he evenly distributed his flesh and blood across the Pangu Continent and protected it for so many epochs, but now no one knows about it. I deeply sigh that what he did was not worth it."
"Later generations even used blood curses to attack it. This is extremely foolish."
"We have already developed self-awareness. Why don't we go to another world and show our talents? Why should we be confined to this dying Pangu Continent?"
"If you and I join forces and push a civilization to become a Level 5 civilization, we can create a greater foundation!"
Another black shadow [demon] spoke in an incomprehensible language, seemingly denying the matter and showing great disdain.
Even though the [Demons] don't have any emotional fluctuations, they can learn from other creatures and express some emotions...
Lu Yuan vaguely understood.
The black shadows [devils] seem to be the practitioners of an ancient oath, and their goal is to take over the bodies of [ghosts] and fight against the disaster of the era.
Demons like Solomon began to use their ability to possess other people's bodies to control civilization.
"It seems that there are also differences in concepts between [Demons] and [Devils]."
Lu Yuan was eavesdropping at an unusual level.
His fighting ability is not a big problem for dealing with the [Devil], but he is not in a hurry to jump out. After all, he can't make too much noise in this ghost place.
Solomon said, "Don't worry. Now that I have come across this matter, I will definitely find a way to deal with it. However, the civilizations here will inevitably become victims. Even the Atagan civilization that I command will not survive."
The black shadow [demon] let out a strange sneer.
Laugh at his sympathy for such mediocre creatures.
Just die, who cares about the ants under your feet!
Solomon shook his head. "You don't understand. You have always walked alone and never participated in civilization. But that is the wrong path. Only with the power of civilization can we advance science and technology. Pursuing personal power is too difficult."
"Only the power of civilization can leave this world. Individuals cannot leave Pangu Continent."
"Besides, even if you really possessed the ghost, so what? The world is no longer the same as it used to be..."
"My path is the right one. Since we were designed, we are not the kind of anomalies that are good at fighting. We have to rely on our own advantages."
"The power of civilization is weak, but sometimes it is also very strong. Although we have no feelings, we also have conflicts of interest. A loner like you will never understand this kind of interest relationship. I don't want to destroy my own civilization, but things have their priorities."
Just then, the moonlight in the sky became dimmer.
Lu Yuan's eyes blurred, and he suddenly found that two more creatures had come here! One of them looked like a stone man, with crystal diamonds protruding from the surface of its skin.
The other one had fangs like a wild boar, was tall, nearly four meters tall, had well-developed muscles, and was covered with fur.
"Four [devils]... What kind of mobilization meeting are they holding?" Lu Yuan became more and more surprised and suspicious.
