binary dead train

Chapter 448 Tools of the Betrayer
After the embarrassing enthusiasm of the other party, Turing and Alicia were led by the priest to the secret passage behind the altar.The road leads through the sewer system beneath the city to the site of the sect that Turing had visited the day before.

The whole sewer was stinky, and Alicia walked on tiptoe, frowning.Turing built a filter directly under the hologram to solve the problem.The priest, on the other hand, seemed very used to it, and was familiar with the road. Walking through the stinky ditch was like walking through his own home.And he was very enthusiastic along the way. Under the "guidance of the root", he kept telling Turing about the sect's affairs, and at the same time, he hoped that Turing could also join them.

Soon, he finally left the sewer, and the underground church he had seen yesterday reappeared before his eyes.

"Roots nourish all things. All Banga people should be the people of Roots. Welcome to the Sanctuary, Mr. Firefox. I can guarantee that this must be a pilgrimage that neither you nor your little assistants can imagine."

The priest led the way with a pious face, while Alicia looked at the surrounding environment anxiously but curiously, and clung to Turing's side——

In such a closed space, only the boss next to her can bring her enough sense of security. Because of Turing's arrangement, the two foxes are not by their side at the moment.

"Don't be nervous, do as you said before. The first goal is to get enough information." Through the amplitude transmitter, Turing's voice came from the ear of the little genius.

The infiltration operation last night also allowed Turing to figure out the nature of these believers.Those who have a fanatical belief in the "root" have no effect on life threats at all, but belief has also become the weakness of these people, although the things these people worship always make Turing have a strange feeling that he is worshiping himself.

The promenade that I walked through yesterday reappeared in front of my eyes, densely packed candles filled both sides, congregants in black robes surrounded the promenade, and the "wild believer" named Ghana Coffey stood in the very center of the promenade , walking slowly towards several people with an oppressive force.

Under Turing's gesture, Alicia picked up the camcorder and began to pretend to shoot.

"Introduction to you, our sacrificial knight—Gana Kofi."

Sacrificial knight... Turing thought about the meaning of this title, and at the same time raised his camera to the strong man in front of him.

"May Root bless you, Mr. Reporter."

Garner Coffey made prayer jewelry on his chest indifferently, and saluted Turing with a very respectful attitude:

"You must be the gospel that descended from the root and shall lead our way..."

The priest slammed into Garner Coffey, winked at him, and then led Turing forward with a smile on his face:

"You can visit as you like, Mr. Reporter. However, I hope you can go to the Baptism Hall first, which is our heartland."

"Excuse me, what is a sacrificial knight? Is there any reason for this name?"

"The root came to Bangka to save Bangka from the misery of the war. He dedicated himself to the loess, sacrificed the knight, and dedicated himself to the root. Just like this..."

The priest stretched out his hand, and there were many marks on the palm pierced by phantom limbs from the inside.

"This is the stigmata... This is our token of piety. And the sacrificial knight exists to protect the root, the guardian with countless stigmata."

Turing squinted his eyes, and at the same time used the amplitude transmitter to perceive the priest in front of him and the offspring in the body of the so-called sacrificial knight.

There are some abnormalities in the offspring in these people's bodies. Even if Turing has completed the parental takeover, these anomalies still exist. Compared with the original offspring, the silver offspring in their bodies seem to have higher efficiency. And this kind of efficiency is sucking the body of the host all the time, which is a kind of vicious extraction.Although they are also parasitic, the state of these believers is more uncontrollable than Turing's host. The daughters in their bodies have been tampered with, but the tamperers have no way to go deep into their core. In the final analysis, they are still Turing's. thing.

While the priest and Turing were talking, Olyssia felt a black shadow flashing by her side, and there was something in her palm.

She turned sharply to the back, only to see a figure among the two rows of believers in black robes hastily walked into it and disappeared into the shadows, apparently also a believer.

Alicia was stunned for a moment, then looked at the thing in her hand, which was a note.With the help of the dim light, she could see the words on it clearly:
【Run away! ! ! ! 】

And here, the priest is also continuing to preach the content of the sect to Turing:
"The person with the highest belief has stigmata all over the body. Our supreme leader has all the stigmata that humans can have. He leads us, guards the root, and spreads the teachings of the root to save Bangka..."

Looking at the pious black priest, Turing knew the important point——

The leader of the root sect.

"Is that the leader of your church? Did he start the sect?"

"No... the guardian of the roots only needs to guide, not to establish. He discovered the existence of the roots and dedicated everything to serve the roots. He is our leader - the son of Banga."

"In the root's prophecy, the son of Banga will lead us to guard the root, and root will help us liberate Banga under our protection, bring sweet freedom to the loess, and rain down to restart all this, And Banga will step into prosperity from now on..."

It's kind of like that.Turing twitched his lips.

If nothing else, this self-proclaimed "Son of Banga" should be a traitor within the organization.

A group of people gradually walked into the church named "Baptism Hall", and Alicia approached Turing again, and carefully handed him the previous note.

"Who gave it to you?" Turing frowned, and glanced at the priest leading the way.

"I don't know..." Aulishia lowered her voice, "I couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he seems to be a believer."

That must not be a believer.

Turing, who has always been suspicious, thinks so.

But this little episode was not enough for him to leave. The priest had almost nothing to hide from Turing at the moment. He could get more information, and it would be best to find out the true identity of the son of Banga.

After thinking about it, Turing put the note in his pocket.

Things start to get interesting.

"Mr. Firefox, this is 'Root'."

A group of people walked into the baptism hall, and the statue reappeared in Turing's vision.Aulishia's reaction was much stronger. She recognized the extremely similarity between this statue and the main nest of the World Tree in Yezhou.

"Very...exquisite statue." Turing considered his words, thinking about bringing the topic back to the son of Banga, "but, with all due respect. How do you know the image of 'root' is like this? Could it be that Banga Jiazi has seen the true God?"

But the priest smiled devoutly, with an inexplicable pride on his face:
"Our leader, the Gospel of Bangka, has naturally seen the real root. And the real root is never confined to any place, it can exist in the hearts of each of us. But only the truly devout people can get the root His bestowal, become a part of Him."

You are the only one who can talk about parasitism for this kind of sake.

"This son of Banga, have you ever seen him?" Turing directly clarified the words, and unsurprisingly, the priest made another enigmatic speech:
"The image of the son of Banga is changeable. I have never seen him. But I know that he is a part of Root, and his appearance has different appearances in front of different people. In front of Root's congregation, he is One of us, a pious congregation. In front of the heretics, he will be the most terrifying demon."

In other words, you haven't seen your leader.

However, another message was revealed in the priest's words——

"I noticed that you mentioned heretics. Excuse me...does that mean other troops in Banga?"

The priest's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Turing:

"The sect of the root is committed to guarding the existence of the root, and the root will send down the gospel, bring baptism to Bangka, drive out all invaders, and liberate this loess. But... the sect today is full of holes , we even lost our roots."

"Lost the root?" Turing frowned.

"That's right, the root is deep in the Banga, it's there, but it's everywhere." The priest pointed to the sculpture, "But the pagans took it and took it for themselves. something intolerable..."

Having said this, the black priest's expression became angry and gradually hysterical.

"That is a group of unforgivable sinful people. They split from the sect and took the 'root' as their own... This is an unforgivable sin!"

This sounds familiar...

Analyzing the information revealed by the other party, Turing always felt a sense of "the villain sues first" coming to his face.

"But fortunately...we have you now." The priest's excited expression changed suddenly, and he stared at Turing with scorching eyes.

Turing suddenly had goosebumps and twitched the corners of his mouth:
"Father, I'm just a reporter..."

"That's just what you think!"

The priest grabbed Turing's palm violently:

"You think you're a reporter, but how do you know if you're one of us?"

Turing: "?"

Seeing that Turing did not speak, the priest hurriedly continued to say:
"Do you think you came here of your own volition? No, no... it was the root that led you, brought you to Bangka, brought you to His sanctuary. Just yesterday, we got the root The guidance of the root, the gospel of the root, it is he who conveyed the oracle to us, you are the new patron, and you will become a new son of the root!"

The priest said Technetium was getting more and more excited, and stood up directly:

"Soon... a great son of the root will come here, come to the sanctuary, and when he arrives, you must accept the baptism from the root!"

Bang! ! !
A piercing and roaring loud noise suddenly spread throughout the underground space, and the sound of rolling stones and dripping sand continued to be heard, interrupting the priest's loud recitation——

The noise was coming from the far side of the ground.

The priest slowly folded his hands together:
"It seems...someone wants to interrupt this upcoming sacred ceremony."

He looked at Turing: "Mr. Red Fox, please wait here, I'll be right back."

After speaking, he quickly left the baptismal hall and headed for the place where the noise came from.All kinds of yelling and yelling were faintly heard over there, and the congregation was running around, which seemed to cause quite a bit of confusion.The "sacrificial knight" who had been waiting at the entrance of the baptismal hall with Turing and his party before also disappeared.

"Sir, are we leaving here?" Alicia, who had been watching the conversation between Turing and the priest, asked.

"Of course not." Turing's expression gradually softened, "Have you captured the information in this priest's words?"

Alicia thought for a while:

"This sect... is actually a force led by someone who split from the organization?"

"Be confident and carry on."

"Well... they think they are the orthodox, and they worship the world tree as their god... the traitors of the organization bewitched and ruled them with their beliefs, but... the part of the world tree giving birth doesn't seem to be in their hands."

Turing nodded:

"good."

Heretics, most likely referring to members of the original group.

"But I don't quite understand one thing..." Alicia looked at Turing suspiciously, "What did you do yesterday to make them treat you so...undefended? They didn't even search us There are armed..."

"...It's not important." The corner of Turing's mouth twitched.

Alicia's deduction is similar to Turing's.Although I didn't know the appearance and name of the traitor, he must be very familiar with Banga.In addition, Turing also got a very important message -

The phantom limb three doesn't seem to be in the hands of the gang.Judging from current events, World Tree has rarely left the Northwest since it killed the Mikton Federation garrison more than half a month ago. The phantom limb was taken from the hands of the "Heretics", the former members of the World Tree.

But this is only an inference at present, and empirical evidence is still needed.

Being able to get this information is already a good harvest for Turing, but he will naturally not be satisfied with this, especially in the last sentence of the priest, which clearly shows that a "son of the root" is coming here.

From the definition of the sect, the "son of the root" is the most "pious" believer and is a "part of the root".

This sounds a lot like a state of offspring parasitism, but Turing knew that in the small resident of the sect, the priest, the so-called knight named Ghana Coffey, and some of the congregants all had silver offspring.

So this "son of the root" must be a higher level existence.It may even be the direct subordinate of the traitor.

That being the case, it would be a good choice to sit on the sidelines here.However, the sudden loud noise just now also means that this place is not so hidden and not so peaceful. With the small note just now, this underground church may have been targeted before.

"Pay attention to the surrounding area." After ordering Alicia, Turing immediately connected to the priest's son and tried to peep, but at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the side of the baptismal hall, and Turing was dragged violently. up:
"What are you still doing here? Get out of here with me!"

Turing opened his eyes. It was a terrified Banga man. After a little thought in his mind, he connected this man with the note:

"Are you the one who handed the note?"

"It's not important, listen, you should leave here immediately... This is not a good place, and it will be purged soon!"

"You are from Wu's Heavy Industries."

"You...? No, I'm not." The man shook his head repeatedly, but the momentary hesitation had already revealed his identity.

"Wu's Heavy Industry has been staring at this place for a long time. Is it for the 'son of the root' who may arrive today?" Turing immediately sorted out the key clues.

"You...?" The man froze for a moment.

"You are an informant of the Wu family... In this way, something seems to be connected. It seems that you are still a very kind informant..." Turing looked at him with a smile, and put his hand on the On the camera on the chest.

"...Anyway, if you don't want to die, get out of here immediately! That's all I have to say!"

After saying this sentence in Mu Guoyu with a strong accent, the Banga man ran out of the baptism hall, but the next moment he bumped into a black shadow and flew out backwards, spitting blood——

A tall black shadow suddenly threw the two corpses in front of the statue, and walked into the baptism hall with heavy steps.

This is a two-meter-tall hideous human figure, covered with silver spine-like exoskeleton and bright red interlaced muscles, and decorated with rough Banga beast skulls everywhere.

Behind him, there are the slightly reserved priest and Garner Coffey.

In the end, he locked his eyes on Turing and Aulishia, and a pair of blue electronic eyes shrank slightly, revealing a touch of joke:
"The patron of 'Root'?"

　Dizzy to death.Unknowingly, I found that I was a little procrastinating again.
