Chapter 237 Three Questions About Cult Sacrifice

Kress was invited to the room of the cult priest.

Contrary to expectations, his room is not as luxurious and huge as the smiling face, it is less than fifty square meters, filled with all kinds of strange mystic props, and all kinds of ritual formations are painted on the walls Law.

The whole room was extraordinarily weird and mysterious, revealing an indescribably uncomfortable atmosphere.

"Sit down." Blaise sat on a black stone chair: "Please feel free, don't be too restrained."

"What do you want to talk about?"

Kress still couldn't quite understand the situation.

"Since you know that I'm coming to kill you, why don't you plan to resist? Since you are the agent of Amytheus, then Amytheus must also know that the purpose of the master of the wheel of fortune is to save this city, and its What's the attitude?"

Cleese's question is also Zhou Ze's doubt.

"I'm not very clear about the attitude of Amytheus, but I don't think it will be willing to be constrained."

Blaise picked up a glass of blood-red liquid from the table and took a sip.

"Although I am the agent of Amytheus, I also have my own will... The monster clone in the underground told you that I am a dog loyal to Amytheus, right? Oh, don't pay attention to it, that guy and I It’s not been a day or two, it must still be resentful that Amytheus and I teamed up to seal its mind.”

Oh shit, both gangsters and cult leaders said not to trust each other, I knew this would happen, so I don't believe either!
"What about your attitude?"

Kress and Blaise looked at each other: "Enemy, or friend?"

"Want a drink?"

Blaise shook the cup in his hand.

"No."

"I don't exclude you from saving the residents here, nor will I prevent you from taking Amishus under your command."

Blaise drank the water in the teacup, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I remain neutral, as long as you don't hurt my lovely believers, and don't destroy my beautiful sect, maybe we can be friends."

Come on, cults definitely can't stay, I can't afford you my friend.

Zhou Ze complained in his heart, but the current situation is stronger than others, and it is not easy for Kleis to directly attack Blaise. It depends on how Kleis plays on his own.

Kles didn't pick up his words, but asked, "You advocate letting your followers give up the past, and what have you given up?"

"Let's let go of the past in order not to be entangled by this false world."

Blaise opened his hands, with an intoxicated expression on his face as if he was embracing something.

"I have long said goodbye to my cowardly self. Family, friendship, love, sympathy, memories, curiosity, and dignity are no longer the chains that bind me. My soul is no longer complete, and my life has become fragmented, but But I am getting closer to the reality of this world."

He smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Only by breaking free from all the shackles can we go to true freedom... I saw the stars on the other side."

These words do not match the preamble, and the lunatic can always find a way to justify his crazy theories.

Obviously both Zhou Ze and Kress could truly understand what was going on in Blaise's mind. If they could understand, then their spirits might not be far from being insane. It's no joke that those who are close to ink are black.

Kress corrected the topic: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Blaise said indifferently: "I have three questions to ask you, as long as you can answer them correctly, I will tell you the location of the rubbings of the Necronomicon, and my mental projections in every lost city will be at your disposal. Deal with it, don't resist."

So simple?
Zhou Ze in front of the screen was a little confused.

The development of the game is becoming more and more detached. It seems that once he deviates from the main path laid out by Amishus, he will fall into a fog. The development of various plots is inexplicable, and each NPC has its own little calculation...

But if you want to pass the level with a high score, you have to plunge into this fog, there is no other choice.

【Agree】or【Reject】

If you refuse, you will die in all likelihood.

"What's the punishment for a wrong answer?" Kress hesitated.

"There is no punishment." Blaize showed a nervous smile: "I will publish the answer and ask you to repeat it, that's all."

Tsk, this guy is laughing cheaply. This seemingly simple situation usually has a deeper meaning.

"Okay, then you can ask."

After thinking about it, Zhou Ze asked Kress to try to see what the cult leader in front of him wanted to ask.

With a faint smile on the corner of Blaize's mouth, he casually picked up a white human skull from the desktop full of small occult objects. The size of this skull is not like that of an adult, but more like that of a child or a baby. skeleton.

He looked at the skull and said slowly: "What is the essence of the world?"

Asking a fart question!Do you think I am omniscient?Why don't you just let me memorize all of pi.

"The nature of the world?"

Kress fell into deep thought: "What exactly do you want to ask? This question is too broad and complicated. I can't know the answer, and I can't give you the answer... According to my own understanding, the essence of the world is..."

[Option ①: A game that cannot be repeated. 】

[Option ②: A farce that makes people laugh. 】

[Option ③: A combination of madness and despair. 】

[Option ④: The world has no so-called essence. 】

[Option ⑤: Too lazy to say. 】

this?How to choose?
The first option is a bit of a risk of exposing the world game, it's better not to mention the game, and the second and third options are a bit out of place.

"Forget it, I can't think of it, you just give the answer."

Anyway, Blaise said it doesn't matter even if the answer is wrong, he will announce the answer, so it's better not to answer.

"Abstaining is not a good habit. The nature of the world is different in everyone's heart. Just say your own answer."

Blaise shook his head with a little regret: "Or, you don't have any views on this world at all in your heart? You just live in such a muddle, you are really boring, I don't know that the organization Wheel of Fortune has taken a fancy to you Which point?"

"Stop talking nonsense and announce the answer."

Chris interrupted his chatter with a frown.

"The essence of the world is... madness and despair!"

The expression on Blaise's face was full of fanaticism, and his tone became sharp: "Life is full of despair at a glance. After despair, it is complete madness. The whole world follows the overall tone. Creation and destruction are just forms, madness and despair. That's the source!"

Zhou Ze in front of the screen was too lazy to complain, and he was not interested in arguing with this lunatic any longer. Whatever you say is whatever you want, even if it says 1+1=9, I can still shout 666 to cheer.

Do you still have to discuss philosophical issues with you after playing a game?What kind of reason is this.

He just wants to quickly end these three questions, and then see if the situation will develop smoothly, whether Blaize will back down, etc... It is enough to make the game plot go forward.

To be honest, Zhou Ze is almost tired of playing the Lost City chapter, and he feels like he is going out of his mind if he continues to play.

"All right, all right, the essence of the world is madness and despair, I know."

Kles also received Zhou Ze's whispers telling him to end the question and answer quickly, speeding up the progress of the conversation.

"What's the second question, hurry up and tell me, why don't you ask me, just report the answer and let me read it over again."

"No, your answer is necessary."

Blaise was adamant on this point.

"If you don't answer the second question, then I will have to see off the guests. Do you understand what I mean?" He casually threw away the small skull in his palm, narrowed his eyes and stared at Cress, exuding If there is any real spiritual coercion.

Kleis' mental value dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I will answer! Keep asking!"

"Second question." A playful smile appeared on the corner of Blaise's mouth: "What is the essence of human beings?"

[Option ①: The essence of human beings is endless desire. 】

[Option ②: The essence of human beings is to pursue what they cannot get. 】

[Option ③: The essence of human beings is to continue the proof of their existence. 】

[Option ④: The essence of human beings is to survive at all costs. 】

The essence of human beings is a repeater!

Zhou Ze really wanted to say that, but it would be ridiculous not to have this option in the game!

Picking the first option casually, Zhou Ze said that he just hoped to end this unclear question and answer as soon as possible.

Kleis pondered: "The essence of human beings is endless desire."

"Good, very good."

Hearing this answer, Blaise grinned in satisfaction, with obvious joy in his eyes.

"Your answer is great, but this answer still lacks something... The essence of human beings is not only desire, but also fear!"

His expression became crazy again, as if he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, he stood up dancing and said loudly like a speech in a cadenced tone:
"Desire for survival, desire for knowledge, greed, lust, appetite..."

"Fear of the unknown, fear of death, fear of pain, fear of loss..."

"Human beings are a collection of endless desires and fears!"

Well said, I will reward you with a little red flower, okay, next one.

Krys was indifferent to the deceptive rhetoric and tone of the cult priest, and looked at him quietly, beckoning him to ask the last question.

"last question."

Blaze was sometimes crazy and sometimes calm. He seemed to be wandering around the room aimlessly, and took down an old oil painting from the wall, which showed Prometheus trapped in chains on the top of a mountain with a painful expression on it. The bloody scene of being pecked at the internal organs by a giant eagle.

"What is the nature of life?"

【Option ①: The essence of life is the chemical reaction of countless substances put together. 】

【Option ②: The essence of life is an intricate existence between matter and energy. 】

【Option ③: The essence of life is to act according to one's own will. 】

Still choose the first answer straightforwardly.

This answer is also relatively scientific materialism.

Human beings have discovered that the way the brain works is actually that the brain nerves release currents to control the body. Consciousness depends on matter. The best evidence is that when you are sick, you will feel dizzy and unconscious.

However, the cult priest Blaze would not be satisfied with this kind of answer.

"Wrong! Life is not some ridiculous chemical reaction."

Blaise was sometimes furious and sometimes crazy. He tore up the antique painting in his hand in a blink of an eye, and said firmly in a chant like a magic stick: "The essence of life is evil and pain!"

"Every life must devour other lives if it wants to survive. The continuation of a life must be established on the death of other lives."

"Continuously enduring pain, constantly killing others, and constantly satisfying the pathetic desire, just to survive in this world full of madness and despair, every life is burdened with endless sin and pain..."

"This is the essence of life!"
