Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 756
Fallen man?

"Emperor" disagrees with this appellation.

In his view, he has always been on the right path.

Only those terrorists who regard human life as nothing and keep stirring up disputes in this world are more suitable for this title. Since the dark age, he has been looking for the real source of those whispers, and this time, he realized that he Getting closer to the answer.

At this moment, there was one last thing before he could establish communication with Whisper—sleep.

The "Emperor" couldn't remember how long he hadn't slept well. After undergoing a large-scale transformation of his body and implanting an operating system in his brain, he also lost some things that belonged to human beings. sleep is one of the basic abilities of human beings.

He guessed that these whispers were using dreams to confuse people.

Manipulating dreams is indeed a category of interfering psychic powers. The psychic powers recorded by the coalition government are able to sneak into dreams and change the type of subconscious cognition of the dreamer.

The "Emperor" didn't hesitate, he quietly came to the room next to Diego, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

For a pseudonym implanter, the first step to sleep is to cut off the operating system and make it offline. The consequences of doing so are also obvious-he will lose all self-defense during the offline process of the operating system system.

But the risks are all worth it if you can get right to the source of the whispers.

In a strange feeling, darkness soon enveloped him.

He didn't know how long he had been wandering in this long darkness. His ears were completely silent, but his consciousness and thinking were in a highly active state.

Until, he felt that his consciousness had taken a trip, and another voice emerged from the dark depths.

It was the sound of waves.

He was obviously lying on the bed, but he felt bumpy.

It seems to be floating on the rough sea waves with an old sailing ship.

Immediately afterwards, a faint light penetrated into this world, and the "Emperor" took a deep breath, and the salty air got into his nose.

He opened his eyes and saw the only light source in the room.

a candle.

The candle flame flickered with the waves, as if it would go out at any moment.

It was something he had never experienced before, but strangely, he seemed to know where he was.

The source of those whispers did not show up. The moment he regained his body, he rolled over and got out of bed, and pushed open the door of the room.

There was no one in the narrow and dark corridor, and the next torch was about tens of meters away from the room, guiding him like a signpost.

At the end of the cabin, the "Emperor" finally met the crew of the ship. They were dressed in gray robes. They were both crew members and the most devout disciples of the Lord of the Tide.

The believers ignored the existence of the "Emperor", and they were concentrating on completing the work at hand.

They need to offer sacrifices to the tide lord to ensure that they can sail safely in this sea area. This time the sacrifices were prepared as usual. They escorted a thin figure onto the deck, and her Her figure looked exactly like those orphans, with a sack covering her face.

The sacrifice didn't make a single sound, her mouth seemed to have been blocked by the believers, and her trembling body was enough to tell that she was in a state of intense fear.

The "Emperor" did not stop the believers, because he had already guessed the identity of the child.

The person mentioned by Diego’s companions—a child who is suspected to have awakened psychic powers. Before she was thrown into the waves by the believers of the Tidal Church as a sacrifice, she used to convey the picture she saw to the Friends who are still in port.

But this also means that everything he sees now has already happened.

Even if he has great abilities, it is impossible for him to travel through time to stop a tragedy that has already happened.

The "Emperor" followed at the end of the team, and as the followers of the Tidal Church boarded the deck, the sky outside was also shrouded in darkness, and the oil lamps in people's hands barely illuminated the road ahead.

He looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds seemed to have stopped flowing, and they were just frozen in the sky.

In front of the ship was not an endless ocean, but a mountain looming in the darkness. When he looked at the mountains, he felt heart palpitations.

The believers brought the sacrifices to the side of the boat, chanting words in their mouths, as if they were completing some ancient ritual.

They formed a circle and knelt on the ground piously, facing the mountains in the dark depths.

It was also at this time that the "Emperor" vaguely saw the true colors of the mountains.

They have life and are still alive.

This is the true face of the unknown sea, and he finally understood what the coalition government's expeditionary fleet encountered in this sea, and why those well-trained naval soldiers were lost in this sea forever, and could no longer Back to land.

The towering mountain was watching him, and it also awakened the familiar feeling of "Emperor".

When he arrived at Silvermoon Harbor and stood at the pier and looked into the distance, he felt that some kind of vision was watching him from the depths of the ocean. Now he knew that the owner of those visions was an unknown creature with a size as large as a small town. In the history so far, there has never been any record of this kind of creature.

They were even bigger than the sea monsters he had encountered in the deep sea.

The believers on the deck completed the pre-sacrifice ceremony, and two of them dragged the girl's thin body and slowly lifted her above her head.

Then, he threw her overboard and let her fall into the raging waves.

Before she fell, a tentacle that sprang from the waves caught her.

The tentacles are covered with eyes, densely packed.

Faced with this scalp-numbing scene, the believers prostrated themselves in front of it in reverence, watching it wrap the girl's body and sink her into the bottom of the sea.

The sea is pitch black.

The "Emperor" couldn't see clearly what was hidden under the black waves, but what he could see was that after the sacrifice disappeared, the rolling waves weakened obviously, and the clouds in the sky seemed to recover again Flowing, the looming figure in the dark depths is going away.

This seems to indicate that it is very satisfied with the sacrifices presented by the believers.

What appeared before his eyes seemed to be the only way to the Misty Islands.

The old sailboat was still driving slowly on the sea, and an invisible force guided them to their destination.

The "Emperor" suddenly realized that he did not go with the ship, and he was also thrown overboard.

Or more accurately, abandoned by the entire world.

Distant ships and endless oceans serve as a backdrop, and he never actually reaches the deck.

He is sitting in a theater.

Witness a sacrificial ceremony that took place in the past as an audience.

And now, the show is over.
