Overturned Tower

"...Why do you see something completely different from me?"

Russell frowned: "What about the strangulation?"

"Strangling is no different. That's why I was shocked when I saw the end of the city."

The words of the God's Vessel still had some palpitations: "I have a feeling... If he wants to, he seems to be able to bypass you and hurt me."

"That is to say, he has some kind of devil-like characteristics?"

Russell confirmed the meaning of the container of God.

As a demon, the God Vessel can see through each psyker's body and see the demon inhabiting them.

This is their racial ability as a "psychic symbiont".

Is the mage also a kind of demon?Or will he become a demon when the mage's path comes to an end?

Or is the essence of high-level mages and demons close to some extent?

The container of God thought for a while, and added: "To be precise, he is like a living demon... a demon that does not depend on the host.

"Of course, in fact, I feel that I can also exist independently in the dream world. After all, the dream world is not a material world, but a thought world. As a thought body, I can also exist directly. If you want to hang up, I can also go for you For leveling in the dream world, it doesn’t matter if you sleep normally.”

"In that case, will other demons still see me? Or will they see you directly?"

"Probably not. As far as I am concerned, Zhongxiang has always been the demon god burning with flames. It is through your memory revision that I can know what it really looks like. Because I have a symbiotic relationship with you. Venom understands Don’t understand? It’s just that kind of symbiosis, but I don’t get scum, and I don’t really exist in your body, it’s essentially just a 3D projection to accompany you.”

"Morgan" put his hand on his chin, thinking: "But generally speaking, other demons don't seem to enter the dream world either. Judging by the meaning of that last town, he doesn't seem to see me... After all, I am nothing kitty."

"That is to say, the teacher is not a devil, but has some kind of devil's nature... right?"

Russell concluded: "I remember Teacher Zhong said that he has 'can't leave the dream world anymore', 'is just a crippled waste' or something.

"Could it be that he no longer has a physical body? Or is it that his physical body has been deformed or died... But his will is too strong, and he can abandon his body to exist alone. That's why he said that he can only survive in the dream world and cannot return to reality. if.

"If human beings lost their physical bodies, they would indeed be no different from demons."

The container of God nodded: "They are all thought bodies, but they cannot coexist with human beings."

"I mean, is there such a possibility..."

Russell hesitated for a moment: "You demons... Could it be a mage who has died once and lost his memory?"

Hearing this, God's Vessel was startled for a moment.

The atmosphere between the two was silent for a moment, and the container of God suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "I was shocked, I actually started thinking about the possibility of this matter just now...

"But something suddenly occurred to me... If the demon was a mage before, how should [I] explain it?

"None of us are natives of this world, you should still remember. Obviously there is no mage similar to your ability in this world, our ability is unique. That at least shows that even a mage may transform into a demon , but it’s certainly not mainstream.”

"However, at least one thing is confirmed..."

Russell thought about it: "I wasn't sure before. But since the 'Wedge of Mind' can hold psionic energy just like the mind protection chip, it can hold too high a level of spells... It means that this technical elf has already understood it. Now it seems In other words, whether it is spells, psionic powers, or the power of holy orders, their powers should be essentially the same. Only the way of expression and the way of acquisition are different."

"That means," God's Vessel crossed his arms, "Psionic energy is definitely not something that has been around for nearly a hundred years."

"Yes."

Russell nodded: "The elves are not 'creating' psionic power, but 'recreating' psionic power. Judging from their decision-making when they established Sky Island, they should have known psionic power and demons from the very beginning. exist."

"That means that the 'initial demon Mammon' is not the earliest demon at all. The 'Pale White Incident' that swallowed one-third of the staff of Shenzhi Heavy Industry, and ate the memories and feelings of five thousand people in Tongshen Island, The whole process was deliberately manipulated!"

The container of God immediately followed Russell's words.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

The container of God, whose memory and position are exactly the same, but whose personality and way of thinking are different, is the detective's best assistant.

"Then, their goals are nothing more than a few. Mandatory implementation of chips, reducing the number of employees in Shenzhi Heavy Industry, artificially creating apathetic Tongshen Island, cultivating demon mammon..."

Russell pondered: "I used to feel that the first possibility was the greatest. But now it seems that they already knew the principle of the 'Spiritual Wedge'...then maybe the fourth possibility is the truth.

"They want to cultivate the tenth-level demon 'Mamen', and they sacrificed one-third of the residents of Tongshen Island..."

"The last question is," the container of gods continued, "where is 'mammon'?"

"Maybe it's always been with us."

Russell murmured in a low voice: "The wedge of pain must have been dismantled from the hammer of pain.

"As for the mind protection chip, so far no one has been able to make a counterfeit version...

"Could it be part of mammon?"

Chapter 30 Food

Although it was just speculation, Russell thought he was infinitely close to the truth.

Under the demon's vision of the container of gods, what Russell saw was different from what Russell saw, not only the end town...but also the "Hammer of Pain" in his hand.

This means that there is something special about the hammer itself.

A part that splintered out of it became a wedge of pain that drove into Russell.

It can prevent others from being brainwashed, send severe pain when memories are modified, and can also carry spells.

And the mind protection chip will also use "electric shock" to make people faint when the mood fluctuates to the limit, and it can also be used to carry the spiritual energy of others...

- They are so much alike.

If you connect all these clues together, it becomes clear.

Now that mages have mastered the technology to turn angels into "sources of holy orders", and demons existed in the world 100 years before the popularization of psionic energy... plus the almost instinctive effect of the container of gods on the final city fear, and the container of God saw a demon-like feeling from that hammer...

I am afraid that the mages have already seen the "demon".

And they also mastered the means of capturing demons and making them into "psychic wedges"!

Since the mages on the ground have mastered this technique, there is no reason for the elf mages not to know.

Although Zhongxiang didn't say it clearly, his meaning is also very obvious...

Those "sources of holy orders" were made by the elves after the establishment of the empty island, and then sent to the dream world to sell to them.

There is too much information here.

You know, after people moved to the empty island, the angels were frozen.

There are no angels active outside at all. Even if those elf mages have power and extraordinary power, how can they capture angels to create the "source of holy order"?

There is probably only one answer.

——These angels should have been sold to the company by the top management of the church.

This matter probably has nothing to do with the Pope, after all, the Pope himself is also a kind of angel... and the only angel that is not frozen or sealed.

Moreover, the popes are ephemeral species, not elves.He has no authority to participate in such transactions.

But even if he knew about it... I'm afraid he wouldn't say anything.

Because the pope's position is not on the side of the "angels".

Popes are ephemeral species, and their political lifespan is only seven years.After the election every seven years, when he wears the "crown" that belongs to the Pope, the Pope immediately becomes a temporary angel.And when he leaves office, he is no longer an angel.

As an angel who exists to continue the cyber church, his mission itself is to make decisions with the church as the highest priority.

Even if this decision itself will harm the group of angels, as long as it is beneficial to the church, then he will still choose the "most correct choice".

And because he is the user of the God's Arrival Device, he knows that the God's Arrival Device does not have absolute brainwashing ability.

Therefore, the pope will often become the "angel" who is most resistant to angels and distrusts angels the most.

——It is because he has tested it himself that he knows that the binding power of this thing is not strong at all!

Angels are too holy, and their power is too powerful... Anyone who can become an angel will naturally wear a halo shortly after entering the church.

As for other faculty members who cannot become angels, they can actually be said to be "losers".

From the perspective of three views, it is incomparable with angels.

Their only advantage is that they can choose despicable tactics and plans at will without worrying about the loss of the power of the Holy Order.

...After all, they didn't have much power of holy orders.

But not the angels.

If the healer resists his own healing mission and does not want to heal others, his power of the Holy Order will be greatly weakened.

That's why the "free ones" commanding the "bound ones" became the original concept of the Cyber ​​Church.

But what if the angels returned to the church as heroes with outstanding military exploits and excellent moral character?

It's good to have mages as a common enemy, but once the mages disappear...

That means, the whole church is to be washed by the angels from top to bottom.

Because they are incomparable to these self-made weapons no matter in terms of sanctity or ability.

But angels are not cold combat weapons, they also have self-awareness, selfish desires and favorite things, and they can also be angry, greedy, and jealous.

But because the aura of the angels is directly restrained by the cardinals and the pope, they are inherently limited.

This will inevitably lead to violent conflicts, and may even cause the church to fall apart and fragment into multiple churches.

That's why the pope decided to freeze the angels.And the angels also accepted this order after understanding it.

...Now it seems that this decision should have been taken advantage of.

Paradise Bird's father probably realized something was wrong...so he chose to escape at that time.

Until now, the church and the company have gradually become inseparable.

The church also began to interfere with the ruling power of the islands, and sent angel squads to influence the head offices of the islands, but they were still unwilling to unfreeze all the angels, or even more angels...

——I'm afraid the real reason is that the numbers don't match up at all.

Once all the angels are unfrozen, the angels will immediately realize that something is wrong.

The number of frozen angels has been unknowingly missing, and they have been made into "source of holy order" and sold to those elf mages.

Both are permanent directors of the head office, some elves are at the top of the church, and some elves are mages.It is only normal for them to recognize as "same race" between them.

After the "Pale White Incident", Thothling was able to develop a second-generation chip.

Compared with the "firewall" of the first generation, the second-generation chip has an additional "active protection" function.

That is to say, when the mind fluctuates violently, it can stimulate the brain with "electric shock" and make people faint.

"But now that I think about it, was that really an electric shock?"

Russell muttered: "It can make people faint instantly without leaving any negative effects... Isn't this the effect of the Wedge of the Mind?"

"From this point of view, maybe the hammer in Zhongxiang's hand is also a tool made of 'demons'."

The container's expression became serious: "Do you still remember, Russell.

"What I can copy is not only psionic power, but also the power of holy orders. From this point of view, demons should be born to be able to extract the power of holy orders."

The power used by Paradise Bird's father, they can use it without a halo at all.

Even stronger than when wearing the halo.

"In this way, everything makes sense..."

Russell murmured.

The reason why the chip cannot be imitated is because its most critical raw material is completely limited!

Russell had heard of it. Although the technology of the mind protection chip was developed by Thoth Spirit... but Shenzhi Heavy Industry and Ampoule Biomedical also participated in it.

At first, Russell thought it was because the chip production line was provided by Shenzhi Heavy Industry, and the bio-implantation technology was provided by Ampoule Biomedical.

But looking at it now... Maybe the real reason why Shenzhi Heavy Industry participated in it is because they provided the "raw materials"!

Ampoule BioMed certainly helped a lot in this as well.

Otherwise, that one demon alone would not be able to be used by hundreds of millions of people all over the world.

Even if it is slicing and treating milk full at the same time, it will definitely be too late.

Is it cloning technology?Can cloning technology replicate psionic powers?

Or does Ampoule Medical have other special technologies?

Just uncovering a dark corner of the world, the pressure of its spread made Russell a little suffocated.
