Chapter 388 Ritual Circle
"grim Reaper"

The moment He Ao's voice fell, a black shadow sprang out from his right side.

Immediately afterwards, a plump and slender thigh wrapped in black silk pulled towards He Ao's forehead.

This is a whip kick.

The red sword light flashed past and collided with the whip leg in the sky. He Ao squatted down, knees slightly bent, orange light emerged on the surface of the slender thigh, blocking the red sword light, and instantly shattered.

This black shadow is also a C-level, this is the first time He Ao met a talent sequence that can head-to-head with the 'Warrior' in terms of strength.

The black figure stepped back abruptly and landed in the middle of the triangle pattern not far away.

The hem of her skirt fell, covering the delicate and plump part between the opening of the black stockings and the short skirt.

This person is none other than Ilia Ann's maid.

Shila-

Accompanied by an extremely slight sound, the tight stockings were torn open on the maid's thigh where He Ao's sword light had just collided, exposing the snow-white skin underneath.

Then the skin cracked instantly, revealing a thin and long wound, from which glowing orange blood overflowed.

He Ao didn't look at this scene, but raised his hand and glanced at the bracelet.

"As a large number of fleeing people entered the southern area, robbery incidents in the southern area gradually occurred... Ah! Just now the mercenary group of the mining consortium started shooting on the street... the city defense army, where is the city defense army! !!"

The current real-time news is being broadcast on the wristband.

"Made Mining Consortium, I have long disliked you!!!"

"Brothers, fuck them! If we don't kill them today, we will die! Shoot! Shoot!"

Then there was the sound of the host fleeing in a hurry, and chaotic gunshots.

The southern district also began to be chaotic.

The South District is the last area in Rock City that still maintains a certain order. If the South District becomes chaotic, it means that the chaos has completely spread to the city.

In the Federation, the one who likes chaos the most is the God of Chaos, and the followers of the God of Chaos also like to create chaos everywhere.

Besides the God of Chaos, there is another evil god who also likes chaos, and that is the God of Death.

Unlike the god of chaos who likes chaos itself, the god of death likes the despair and death brought about by chaos.

The more people who despair, the more deaths are possible, the more this evil god can be pleased.

Therefore, believers of the God of Chaos often like to cause riots in one area at a small price, and change the place with one shot. The more chaos they create, the more they can please their gods, and this kind of chaos can be easily extinguished.

On the other hand, the believers of the God of Death prefer to deliberately arrange a situation, causing large-scale killings and deaths.

The best time for death to come is when a large number of deaths occur. Those souls that have just died are the best sacrifices for death.

The believers of Death God were active at the end of the cataclysm and the chaotic era when the federation was first established.

At that time, the belief in the God of Death was at its most glorious, when a large number of cities and gathering places were established, and believers of the God of Death moved between these cities and gathering places, provoking conflicts, causing massacres and deaths.

In the end, the entire gathering place was sacrificed to the god of death in exchange for promotion or gifts.

Therefore, the reputation of the believers of the god of death is even worse than that of the god of chaos. After the establishment of the Federation, large-scale arrests and hunting down of the believers of the god of death began.

There have been no active records of the Grim Reaper's disciples since.

If it wasn't for the fact that Dawn City was established in an old enough time, and still kept a large number of records at the end of the cataclysm and the establishment of the original federation, Christos would not have been able to find such detailed information for He Ao.

The data show that the Church of Death has the power to intensify people's emotions, making people shrouded in the sphere of influence more and more crazy.

Now it's just chaos, and then the chaos will be induced to kill, and that's the moment when the god of death will come.

He Ao's eyes swept over the huge pattern flowing with bright red liquid.

In fact, there are two patterns of the eye of truth.

A common pattern used by wizards, the eyes are set in triangles and are closed.

'The truth beholds all His followers, and the followers can never see that eye. '

Inverted triangles inlaid with closed eyes, the meaning in occultism is 'untraceable truth' or 'truth is always on the way to explore'

And if this eye is opened, it means 'Truth has been found'.

Generally only wizards with extreme conceit will use this pattern, and other wizards feel that using this pattern rashly is a 'blasphemy' of truth.

The God of Death directly used this pattern to make his own ritual circle.

Although the other party is a great existence, the wizards still think that the god of death is an 'arrogant' lunatic.

After the organization of wizards disappeared, some wizards became the core force of the Church of the God of Knowledge. Therefore, the Church of the God of Knowledge inherited the views of some wizards, and had long been at odds with the Church of the God of Death.

Ilia Ann's maid did not attack again, she retreated behind Ilia Ann.

The beautiful woman whose eyes were covered by a light veil stretched out her hand to cover the wound on the maid's thigh.

Accompanied by a burst of purple light, the blood continuously overflowing from the wound was slowly stopped.

The whip kick just now was just a test, a test for He Ao's strength.

After stopping the bleeding for the maid, Ilia looked at He Ao,
"You don't seem curious about seeing me? How did you guess that?"

The gentle mother's words rang in He Ao's ears, which gradually relieved He Ao's nervousness.

He froze, but he didn't make any unexpected expressions. He glanced at the ritual circle on the ground, and a little bit of spiritual power was mobilized by him, and his entire field of vision changed.

A series of purple loops flowing in the sky appeared in his field of vision. One end of these loops was connected to the Eye of Truth ritual circle in front of He Ao, and the other end extended beyond the wall, spreading in all directions.

At the same time, he looked at Ilia Ann and said with a chuckle, "There is a little bit of luck,"

In fact, the old foreman gave He Ao two reminders, one was when he gave He Ao the mine pick that night, and the other was actually when they met for the first time.

On the night when He Ao and the old foreman met for the first time, after he chatted with the old foreman, the old foreman told him the location of the bathroom, and added another sentence, 'The church can move around freely, God loves the world, but please keep quiet. '

It was this sentence and the attraction he felt afterwards that made He Ao find the door of the underground library, and saw the pattern of the Eye of Truth and Ilia Ann.

The emphasis is on the phrase please keep quiet.

Ilia Ann can't see anything, but her hearing seems to be very strong, and she can quickly identify the location of people through subtle sounds.

So He Ao's footsteps must be very, very light. In fact, He Ao did so, so that he could successfully avoid part of Ilia Ann's perception, find the mechanism, and open the door of the underground library.

But the old foreman probably didn't intend to remind He Ao at that time. He may have discovered the underground library, but he couldn't avoid Ilia Ann's perception to enter the underground library, so he let He Ao walk around.

The noise of these chaotic movements affects Illya Ann like a wolf coming, eventually reducing her acuity.

For the old foreman, this is a long-term task. He may not only find He Ao, but also find other people, and even the early stage has been going on for a while to reduce part of Ilia Ann's sensitivity.

But he didn't expect that He Ao, as a 'warrior', had extremely strong control over his body, and his footsteps were so soft that he entered the chapel before Ilia Ann could sense it, found the cross, and unlocked the mechanism of the cross.

According to the schedule of Ilia Ann's ceremony, without He Ao, Ilia Ann would have probably completed the ceremony before the old foreman completely paralyzed Ilia Ann with this "wolf is coming" method.

This may also be the reason why Ilia Ann didn't guard against this kind of 'little trick'.

In short, in terms of the game, when He Ao entered the church map for the first time, he completed the difficult 'hidden mission' and obtained the key clues to the entire main mission.

The first meeting with Ilia Ann in the basement library was not pleasant, so He Ao has always been wary of Ilia Ann in his heart.

Ilia Ann should have been surprised and confused at the time.

Because of this precaution, when Ilia Ann reminded He Ao not to read more books about gods, he did not show his anti-pollution qualities, but obeyed Ilia Ann's suggestion.

If he had shown his ability to resist pollution at that time, the bookshelf barrier just now would not have been broken so easily.

However, He Ao sensibly showed a cooperative attitude at that time, and did not explore further. Ilia Ann still had to use the miners' mutual aid association, so he did not directly attack him.

If he was a little more irritable, maybe Ilia Ann would seize the opportunity and try to kill him, the 'person who discovered the secret'.

Then, as he was leaving, Heo asked Ilia Ann if anyone else knew about the underground library.

Ilia Ann's answer was that the old foreman didn't know.

But at that time, He Ao had vaguely sensed that the old foreman knew something, which proved that there was some kind of rift between Ilia Ann and the old foreman.

But at that time, He Ao didn't particularly doubt Ilia Ann, he just thought that she had no relationship with the miners' mutual aid association, and they were on guard against each other for the sake of their interests.

The time when he really started to be vigilant was when he was looking at the mayor's information.

He found that the mayor's self-cultivation was completely different before and after, and when the mayor first gave a speech, the natural movement of sitting with his shoulders flat and his body upright was a bit inconsistent with his overall behavior, and the mayor did not do it afterwards. This action appears.

Ordinary people may think it is normal, and there are not many things that a person suddenly works hard to change himself.

However, He Ao, who has experienced several copies, experienced the lives of different characters, and has a puppet in the main world, immediately realized that the mayor may not be the original 'mayor' anymore.

From then on, he began to doubt the identity of the mayor.

He has used the puppet crystal ball and knows that there are powers in this world that can control others.

And that special sitting posture is the incompatibility when I first took over the new body, and it naturally showed the movements I was used to.

At that time, He Ao felt that the sitting posture was familiar, but he got too few clues.

Ilia Ann handled all the information almost perfectly, and she also discovered an unintentional small loophole in the mayor's election at the beginning, so she began to consciously block all the materials of the mayor's election.

He Ao's doubts continued until the old foreman was attacked. The old foreman did something that was obviously not in line with his character, and then he was attacked. He Ao almost instantly thought of the person behind the 'manipulation' of the mayor.

The opponent can also control the old foreman.

Based on this, I started to think about it, and I naturally thought that the old foreman might be involuntary, and sometimes there was something in the words, and then I thought that the old foreman might have given a reminder that night when he gave the mine pick.

The old foreman said one last thing as he was leaving,
'Remember to collect my body, don't be picked up by the municipal garbage collector like Yaz. '

Ilia Ann should only be able to feel some of the obvious emotions on the surface of the old foreman, but not the deeper ones, so the old foreman had to detour several times to deliver the news to He Ao.

First of all, when it comes to collecting the corpse, the old foreman had a premonition of the possible end of death, so he mentioned this.

But in the end, after he was seriously injured in the attack, it was the pharmacist who took him away, so he may have arranged for the pharmacist to help him 'collect the body' early in the morning.

Now that the funeral has been arranged, why did he mention collecting the body?

An anomalous point is often used to emphasize a specific content.

What the old foreman wanted to emphasize was that 'Yaz was picked up by the municipal garbage collector. '

When He Ao killed Yaz, the old foreman was not present. If he wanted to know about Yaz, he had to go through the intelligence network to inquire. of.

What is the background of Yazi's body being collected?
In the confrontation between Iliaan and Abe, Abe may look down on Yaz and don't want his body, but after Abe leaves, Iliaan should not give the body to the municipality, because giving it to the municipality is equivalent to giving it to the mayor.

It's not like the mayor's enemies could do it.

Of course, this incident can be explained by various reasons, but the old foreman emphasized this point in order to remind He Ao.

There might be something wrong with Elijah Ann.

After figuring this out, He Ao naturally thought of the mayor's sitting posture. The mayor's initial sitting posture was almost exactly the same as Ilia Ann's sitting posture in the wheelchair.

That's the sitting posture of sitting in a wheelchair for a long time.

Ilia Ann has nothing to do with the mining consortium.

The mayor’s series of operations aimed at miners in the direction of the mining consortium can be explained from the perspective of the mayor, the actual controller of the mining consortium, but it is difficult to understand from the perspective of a behind-the-scenes person who has nothing to do with the mining consortium .

If Ilia Ann is greedy for the power of the mining consortium, she can go out directly to control the mining consortium. As a B-level, it is much easier for her to achieve this than supporting the mayor.

Moreover, she did not benefit herself during her control of the mayor, and even lost her position as speaker because of the election of the mayor.

If you don't plan for small profits, you must have big plans.

Combined with the attack on the old foreman, He Ao quickly speculated that Ilia Ann might want to detonate the chaos of the miners and the mining consortium.

Including her in the process of controlling the mayor and supporting the miners' mutual aid association, she is also deliberately intensifying the conflict between the two.

This is also the reason why the team that attacked Wensen from the Miners Mutual Aid that night fell into the trap of the city defense army.

Because there are her people on the left and right, that time she not only wanted to get rid of Wen Sen, but also wanted to get rid of Ivo, who had superb mech driving skills.

Ivo, who is driving a C-class mecha, is too powerful a boost for the Miners Mutual Aid.

It is difficult to understand the matter of intensifying conflicts and not benefiting oneself, so He Ao speculates that Ilia Ann's actions may have something to do with mystery.

Then he judged that the mayor must be abandoned to intensify the final conflict, so the mayor must die.

At the same time, he asked Christos for information about the Eye of Truth.

Of course, the derivation process is complicated, and He Ao has no need or time to explain it to Ilia Ann. He shrugged, and then said "a little bit of luck" just now,
"When I saw it, I didn't think you were a good person."

This is really not a lie. When he was in the basement library, He Ao really didn't think Ilia Ann was a good person at first.

Elijah Ann:?
Her white feet were submerged in the bright red water.

For the first time, an expression of astonishment appeared on the face of this cold and sexy woman.

In her long life, she has heard many compliments on her appearance, but this is the first time she has heard the description of 'you don't look like a good person'.

The maid next to her was also obviously a little confused. She didn't know if He Ao was joking or explaining seriously.

The key is that He Ao was very serious when he said this.

When the two were confused by this answer, He Ao was mobilizing his consciousness at the same time to carefully analyze the energy flow of the magic circle in front of him.

The complexity of the energy flow of this magic circle and the power involved are far beyond the objects of his previous analysis, and the consumption of spiritual consciousness is also abnormally large.

Ilia Ann was quite apprehensive about his ability to resist pollution and the power he had just displayed in battle. He was delaying time and waiting for the moment when the ceremony was finally completed, so He Ao was delaying time to analyze the ritual circle.

After a while, Ilia Ann's gentle voice sounded again, "Even if you guessed my identity, you should go to the church to find me instead of coming here."

He Ao glanced at her, this time he didn't give a general answer, but explained seriously.

In fact, the starting point of the core of the confirmation ceremony is to start with those monsters polluted by the God of War.

The more than 30 locations where monsters appeared did not form any pattern.

But when he knew that Ilia Ann had nothing to do with God of War, He Ao decided not to start from the monster, but from the impact of the monster.

If you draw the areas where these monsters killed, you will get more than 30 irregular shapes.

These irregular figures all have a relatively obvious, eccentric position. Connecting these centers can form a huge regular circle, which includes most of Rock City.

At this time, embed the pattern of the eye of truth into this circle, adjust the angle, and you will find that at a certain angle, the pattern of the eye of truth will completely coincide with the points that the mayor has visited.

The mayor's trajectory is extremely complicated and messy, and there should be points of deliberate misleading and blindfolding.

He Ao is not sure whether this overlapping method is correct, and it is also possible that the mayor's random route just constitutes an eye of truth.

But the death of the mayor gives Ho-oh a hint.

All the behind-the-scenes black hands pointed to the mayor before, so under normal circumstances, it can be taken for granted that the final core location may be in the mayor's mansion or the mining consortium building, which is the first floor.

But the mayor died, and He Ao also confirmed that Ilia Ann was behind the scenes.

Under normal circumstances, it would be speculated that the core location is the church where Ilia Ann often stays, which is the second floor.

At this time, He Ao stood in the perspective of Ilia Ann and thought about it seriously. According to Ilia Ann's rigorous style of acting, he might have set up a third layer of reversal.

That is, the core point is actually in the mining consortium or the mayor's mansion, the most dangerous place is the safest.

And the pupil of the eye of truth that coincides with the mayor's trajectory is the mining consortium building.

So He Ao guessed that the core point was the building of the mining consortium.

Hearing He Ao's serious explanation, Ilia Ann was stunned again.

He Ao's explanation here is so serious and meticulous, which contrasts with his just "doesn't look like a good person" statement, as if he really thinks so.

He Ao looked at Ilia Ann, he actually had other judgments that he didn't say.

Outside, relying on the killing of monsters and the arrangement of the mayor, a huge ritual circle covering most of the city was built, and that was the body of the ritual circle.

According to Chenxi City's records on the Church of the God of Death, it is very likely that everyone under this magic circle will be affected by this circle, and their thinking will continue to be radicalized, leading to killing, and eventually becoming the souls sacrificed to the God of Death.

And the ritual circle in the mining consortium building should be the core of the circle outside.

Those faint purple radiances are the energy lines connecting the core and the main body of the magic circle.

By observing the flow of these energies, He Ao has figured out the core of the energy circuits of these magic circles after half of the second divine consciousness was consumed.

The stronger the ritual circle, the higher the requirements for the layout of the circle.

Destroy these cores, and the giant magic circle outside is very likely to collapse instantly.

He leaped forward sharply.
