Ash and the others immediately turned their heads to look at the empty passage, ignoring the worship scene inside.
They had seen the power of worship in the hospital camp. Even if people were not inside, just watching from afar could attract them.
Only Tamashi could take a look at him occasionally. The burning ideal in his heart not only enabled him to resist the freezing cold wind in the night, but also allowed him to shine brightly in the face of other lights.
"What is the Transcendental worship like?" Igula didn't hear any movement, "Why is there no sound at all?"
Tamashi: “It’s hard to say.”
"So what are they doing?"
"Many strange patterns appeared in the sky, and then everyone stared at them in a daze."
"What pattern is it exactly?"
“It’s hard to describe. It looks simple but mysterious.”
"Can you write on our palms?"
Tamashi did not refuse and drew the pattern he saw on the palms of Ash and Igula. As he drew, Ash and Igula's expressions became more and more strange, and finally the two looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
Igula asked again: "How are these patterns distributed?"
Tamashi said: "The grids are divided by straight and horizontal lines. Some are in groups of sixteen, some are twenty-five, and some are thirty-six. Most of the grids have these patterns, but some are empty..."
"Sudoku game!" Ash blurted out instantly. He was once addicted to this kind of brain game when he was bored in junior high school.
“What is Sudoku?”
Following Tamashi's question, Harvey also understood why Ash and the others were silent. However, he and Tamashi were not close enough to consider the latter's face, so he said calmly: "It's an intelligence game that uses number combinations. You have to calculate the missing numbers based on the patterns between the numbers."
“Oh.” Tamashi was startled and smiled, “So that’s how it is. This is the game I’m worst at.”
"Strange, a church service that transcends sects is just a group of people playing Sudoku together?" Ash quickly changed the topic and pondered, "This is far from what I imagined a church service to be..."
"The worship services of every sect are basically incomprehensible to outsiders," Tamashi said. "I've seen a sect where everyone slept together during worship services because they follow the Floating Clouds Dharma, whose ideal is for everyone to live a leisurely life."
"Worship is not just about worshipping Dafa, it is also about worshipping ideals. Every religious sect's worship is related to their ideals."
Igulla suddenly realized: "Worship is for believers to imagine the future after their ideals are realized, which resonates with Dafa!"
Ash also understood - for the sects that pursue a leisurely life, worship is to sleep; for the sects that pursue killing all the evildoers, worship is to gather together to enjoy and rest; for the Four Pillars God Sect, worship is to indulge in unlimited lust...
"What's the connection between transcending consciousness and playing Sudoku?" Harvey was a little confused: "Is the future of transcending consciousness playing Sudoku?"
"Because they don't know what the future will be like after transcending consciousness, and they can't even imagine it, and the worship must be participated by all believers, so they use intellectual games as a substitute." Igula analyzed: "Sudoku is just one of them, there may be other worship options."
"But this situation is very favorable to us." The fraudster said, "All the Transcendent believers are sitting in their seats. Any unusual movement will be very obvious. If Silver Lamp tries to snatch the Dharma, he will definitely be stopped immediately by the believers."
"Now we just have to worry about whether Silver Lantern will give up the action tonight, but the Transcendental Church's worship service is probably of this type every night, and it's useless for her to continue waiting. On the contrary, if we leave, she may not even be able to find a scapegoat."
The reason why Ash and the others thought that the Silver Lanterns would act as soon as possible was because they were at the bottom of the hierarchy, which was beyond the position of Dafa. It would not be easy for the Silver Lanterns to snatch Dafa and escape, which was equivalent to breaking through from the 100th floor to the 1st floor, but if there was a scapegoat to divert attention, the difficulty would be much lower.
There is no doubt that Ash and his friends are the best scapegoats.
Then why don't Ash and the others leave the Beyond Building and wait outside?
Because the worship service was held at night, if Ash and his companions did not live in the Chaoyue Building, they would not dare to sleep outdoors at night. If Yindeng really took the Dharma away, they would have to wait until daytime in a nearby town to continue the pursuit, basically skipping this battle round.
Tamashi asked, "If Yin Deng really disguises himself as us and pins the blame for seizing the Dharma on us, have you thought of an escape route?"
Ash looked at Igula in surprise. Igula didn't look at him and said to Yashajin, "There's no need to flee. When Yindeng successfully seizes the Dafa, it will inevitably cause chaos. She who can possess the spirit will definitely do so immediately and use the power beyond the Dafa to break out of the encirclement. By then, the worship service will be interrupted and there will be chaos. We will be responsible for blocking the exit. Ash will find an opportunity to possess the spirit of another transcendent Dafa, and then we can attack Yindeng together. We will definitely be able to catch that woman then."
Only now did Igula tell Tamashi about his plan.
"Aren't you afraid that the Transcendental Sect will also regard Ash as a snatcher?"
"As long as he doesn't try to take away the Dharma and helps intercept the Silver Lantern that is trying to steal the Dharma, how can the Transcendent Sect be hostile to him?" Igula smiled and said, "And unlike the Silver Lantern, Ash can be 100% spiritual. You should understand the impact of this on the Transcendent Sect."
Tamashi suddenly realized. No matter which sect, 100% incarnation of the spirit is equivalent to the "spokesperson of Dafa", and is undoubtedly the leader of the sect and the embodiment of the ideal. If Ash can show perfect incarnation of the spirit and does not take Dafa away, the Transcendental Sect will not hate him but will not like him either - as long as Ash does not follow the Transcendental Dafa, he is still a heretic.
On this basis, if Ash helps intercept the Silver Lantern and retains the Dharma for the Transcendental Sect, even if he is a pagan, he can also fill up his reputation in the Transcendental Sect! The lawful Transcendental Sect must repay Ash's kindness!
but……
"There is a big loophole in your plan." Tamashi said, "After Yindeng took the first Transcendental Dharma, either she immediately took the second one, or the Transcendental Sect guarded the second one. In either case, we can't get close to the second Dharma, not to mention that if there is a riot, the Transcendental Sect will definitely send people to keep an eye on us."
"First, we have to rule out the possibility that she would take both away immediately." Igula: "If that's the case, we can't do anything about it, but the Transcendent Sect, whose reactions are faster than consciousness, is unlikely to give her this opportunity."
"As for the possibility of transcending the sect and guarding the second great law, it is indeed very high." The fraudster raised three fingers: "But after knowing the three prerequisites, this obstacle will no longer exist for us."
"The first premise is that the power of the incarnation is far greater than that of the legend. We were able to hurt Silver Lantern before because we relied on your Gray Fox legacy, Tamashi. Otherwise, no matter how clever our design is, Silver Lantern's incarnation can break through all crises with its power."
"The second premise is that Yin Deng needs to escape from the building, but the Transcendent Sect, which is constantly weakening its self-awareness, will definitely risk their lives to stop her. There must be some believers in the Transcendent Sect who are living in the spirit world, and they are a threat to Yin Deng."
"The third premise is that Yindeng is a greedy maniac, and here is an unobstructed interior space."
Tamashi's distorted voice became hoarser: "Could she -"
"There is no better battlefield than here." Igula said, "Silver Lantern will most likely try to seize the second great method with the power of the spirit, and in the process will continue to consume the high-level combat power of the Transcendental Sect. Even if it is really impossible, she must kill those spirits who can threaten her, and throw the dirty water on us, so that she can escape the building safely."
"As casualties increase, the Transcendent Sect will sooner or later not be able to take care of us. We just need to quietly wait for the opportunity." The Trickster smiled and said, "It doesn't matter even if the Silver Lantern fails to destroy the defense of the Second Great Law. Tamashi, your Gray Fox blade is enough to penetrate that layer of defense. Then Ash can reach in and touch the Great Law to complete the soul transfer. Then it will be time for us to save the Transcendent and stop the Silver Lantern."
Tamashi: "But a lot of people will die."
"Yes, the Silver Lantern will kill many people." Igula emphasized the name 'Silver Lantern': "But many people will also survive because of us. If the Transcendental Sect did not send people to stop us, if we could get closer to the law, everything would be simpler... But there is no if."
"Like we told them two days ago, there is a parasitic evildoer who can disguise himself hiding in the building, but compared to heretics like us, they trust their own security system more."
"If they were willing to trust us and conduct a thorough search of the building, Yindeng would have been caught long ago, and they would not have encountered such a disaster."
The man under the Black Crow mask wanted to speak, but the words were stuck in his throat.
The Crow Killing Sect has seen many things like this. Although they are simply trying to eliminate evil, things in the world are often not that simple, and not everyone is willing to believe them.
What's more, they are not always right.
There were poor people who didn't believe them and ended up with their entire family slaughtered; there were also unlucky people who believed them but ended up suffering heavy losses.
Compared to these outsiders, the Transcendent Sect naturally trusts their own judgment more.
Faced with the test paper of fate, everyone has his or her own answer. Until the results are announced, who would think that their answer is wrong?
Tamashi had seen this before, except that he hadn't faced it alone.
So he did what he did before, even though Kalan, Yelu and Tanomu were no longer around, he still asked his confusion: "We have already predicted everything, is there no better way?"
"The world will not be so kind to us." Igula said: "Even if this result is unacceptable to you, it is the best outcome we can achieve."
"Yes."
Ash followed suit: "If you think about it carefully, we have indeed done the best within our capabilities."
The trickster looked at the cult leader with some surprise. He really didn't expect that Ash would agree with him, even though the plan originally came from Ash's mouth.
"Are we unwilling to help the Beyonder Cult? No, it's the Beyonder Cult that refuses to believe us. They regard us as heretical merchants and ignore the information we provide. If anything, it's their own fault."
"If the Silver Lanterns don't take action, we can't act either. The Transcendental Sect will only regard us as outsiders with ill intentions. Only after the Silver Lanterns have caused heavy casualties in their quest for the Great Law, will we have a chance to approach the Great Law of Transcendence, perfectly possess the spirit, save them as saviors, and fight against the evil Silver Lanterns."
"In this way, we can not only catch the Silver Lantern, but also gain friendship beyond the sects, a pass to the Qinri Alliance..." Ash looked at Igula: "Is that right?"
Igula met his gaze calmly: "That's right."
"This is indeed the best plan. It is worthy of the guidance I got from... from the virtual realm." Ash said: "Although we knew everything in advance, we did not collude with Silver Lantern to murder the Transcendent Sect. It was just the most helpless choice. The Transcendent Sect is not wrong. It is natural for them not to believe us. It is impossible for them to let outsiders get close to their magic. What does the Transcendent Sect have to do with us? The only person who is wrong is Silver Lantern. She is a moving disaster and the source of all evil. We are just her victims."
"only……"
Ash frowned, closed his eyes, and moved his lips but his voice became smaller and smaller. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath, opened his bright eyes, and stared at Igula: "How can this world be like this? How can they do this? How can we do this!"
As Ash asked questions, his sanctuary quietly rose up, covering everyone inside. Before they could be surprised, Ash looked at Harvey and said, "Ghost King, help me attract the attention of everyone inside and disrupt their worship."
Harvey didn't say anything, he just called out Alice, activated 'Ice-Cold Fire' to enter the combined state, and then walked to another passage.
At this moment, Ash suddenly remembered his conversation with Harvey in the afternoon, and laughed at himself for not being as quick as a necromancer. But thanks to Harvey's question, he was able to do it without any hesitation.
"Kill all the crows. Throw me in with all your might."
Tamashi clenched his fist, and the sound was like bones exploding.
"Rusty Crow." Ash looked at Igula: "You should know how to cooperate with me, right?"
"Of course." Igula lowered his eyebrows: "It has always been me cooperating with you, and you have never cooperated with me."
"I'll definitely do it next time." Ash smiled and said, "Just follow me this time and treat this world gently."
Tamashi picked up Ash, who was stunned: "Didn't I tell you to throw it over?"
"I can run much faster than you can fly."
"But I am a sanctuary magician after all, can you change your posture——"
The moment Harvey transformed into the Hades Knight and spread despair, attracting the attention of all the believers to disrupt the worship, Tamashi's feet burst out with rapid thunder sounds, and he ran to the fence of the audience seats in almost a breath and threw Ash out!
Ash spread his golden and silver wings and adjusted his flight trajectory, falling from a height of 100 meters, his target——
Beyond Dafa!
He wants to seize Dafa before Yin Deng, follow Yin Deng's path, and leave Yin Deng with no way to go!
