The edge of pure land

As the morning sun sets on the rooftop of the Stellar Technology Building, the golden module of the Watcher Lighthouse has been completed. It reflects the dazzling sunlight while suspended in the air, and looks like the dome of a concert or a stadium when viewed from below.

The huge rooftop, which can accommodate 2,000 people, is already overcrowded. Sitting on the seats are officials from the federal system, representatives of famous evolutionary families and some well-known entrepreneurs, and even more reporters and cameras from major media. The lights kept flashing.

Of course, there are even more plainclothes military members.

Today, the then-pope of the Akashic Church visited Linhai and officially held a press conference at the Stellar Technology Building to unveil the new Watcher Lighthouse system to the world, fundamentally solving the problem of continued unrest by heretics in the past six months.

The news spread throughout the world as early as three days ago, causing an uproar in various countries. The world's top media and representatives of the Evolver family swarmed in. Local flights were basically overwhelmed, and the airports were basically full. We are in a state of suspension with huge passenger traffic, hotels are also full, and the popularity of the tourist season is not so exaggerated.

After all, the last time the Akashic Holy Cult held a press conference, they announced to the world that they would establish a peace strategy based on the five holy high priests. This move completely balanced the boundaries between evolvers and ordinary people and ensured that in the new era the basic order of the times.

Especially this time, the then Pope Qi Xian of the Akashic Church will personally attend the press conference. You must know that this is one of the few sages of the old world in the world today. He has already embarked on the path of evolution as early as the new era. He is a well-deserved human being. pioneer.

At the same time, this pope was also a high-level executive of early Aurora Technology, and he must have mastered many unknown secrets. If you dig out any of them, it would be big news that would shock the world.

However, because the Holy Cult of Akasha attaches great importance to its own closedness and confidentiality, it has rarely communicated and contacted with the outside world in recent years, and those secrets have never been explored.

Such a good opportunity must not be missed.

At 8:59 a.m., the Pope in a black suit walked to the press conference seat accompanied by six red archbishops. Since Aurora Technology transformed into the Holy Cult of Akasha, they have rarely appeared in public Showed up, except in times of life disaster.

The church rarely preaches or expands, and when it appears in public, it takes a savior's attitude, so its reputation has been very good for five hundred years. Coupled with the selfless devotion of the Holy High Priest, even if some people dislike religion, their contribution must be recognized.

In the universal impression, popes dress themselves up very well and often create an otherworldly temperament. They like to wear crowns, holding scepters, exquisite necklaces and exaggerated rings, no matter when and where they are. It's glittering.

But Qi Xian is different.

He seems to be an inhumane forensic doctor. People who come face to face with him will always have a very strange illusion, as if they will be dissected by him as an autopsy in the next second.

And according to rumors.

The Pope five hundred years ago was really a forensic doctor.

"let's start."

The Pope sat down in the center of the seat, holding his glasses and looking at the crowd of people in the seats below. His cold eyes did not stop at anyone, as cold and hard as ever.

The six cardinal archbishops took their seats.

The two sacred high priests, Suye and Tiansi, also appeared at the scene and took their seats at the left and right ends of the seats. Their perfect faces, like those of gods, amazed everyone present.

Finally, as two senior members of the Supreme Council, Secretary Zhou and Mr. Peng sat at the front of the audience, with a group of high-ranking officials behind them.

Drones are hovering in the sky, reporters are holding cameras to film, and the entire press conference will be broadcast live to news media around the world.

Next is the time for reporters to ask questions.

"Excuse me, how does the Watcher's Lighthouse system work? What kind of turmoil will this cause to the world? Will the lives of ordinary people be affected?"

"In view of the turmoil of heretics and the recovery of the Celestial Civilization, is the Federation confident in solving this catastrophe? After five hundred years of precipitation, humans seem to have the ability to coexist with ghosts. The current qualification assessment for practicing sacred rhythm is still It’s very strict. Faced with such huge pressure, will the Federation consider relaxing the qualifications for practicing sacred rhythms?”

"Where are the heretics from the Tower of Babel fleeing now? There are rumors that the turmoil at the fifth site originated from within the Akashic Holy Cult. Do you admit this statement? Will the Akashic Holy Cult finally do this? Responsible?"

The reporters' questions were very tricky, like a group of sharks that smelled blood and wanted to make big news, but unfortunately they found the wrong opponent.

The spokesperson of the Akashic Holy Cult is very cunning and can easily avoid all the key points, but leaves people speechless: "The Watcher Beacon System launched by the Akashic Holy Cult is a set of positioning and control systems for heretics. program……"

Just as the red archbishop from the Noah Organization was talking, an extremely cold voice suddenly sounded, overwhelming the entire audience.

It was a young reporter, but his voice sounded like a gray-haired old man: "According to reliable information, the Watcher's Lighthouse does not exist to suppress heretics, but the Akashic Holy Cult wants to cover up its own mistakes. A weapon that threatens the entire world!"

His voice was cold and resounding: "The Holy Cult of Akasha concealed the facts. You studied the reincarnation of the gods without permission, which led to the internal invasion of the church and indirectly led to the dark matter pollution and human experiments in Linhai City for a hundred years."

Another middle-aged female reporter also stood up, her voice equally cold and vicissitudes of life: "This is also the birth of the creation race, and the tragedies of the seven holy mountain survey operations all originated from this. After the disaster, you didn't think about it. Instead of trying to make up for it, I chose to hide it.”

Someone else stood up: "In order to erase the evidence of the crime, you did not hesitate to use insidious means to eliminate dissidents, erase those who knew the truth, and then let the soldiers on the front line pay for your mistakes with their lives... As for you, you are still here today. Fighting for power! Is the Watcher's Beacon System prepared to target heretics? That's wrong! It can only be used to lock in divine power. What you want to protect is not peace, but your own status."

More and more reporters stood up and said the same thing in unison. The fellow travelers around them were shocked, as if their companions had changed.

There was a commotion at the press conference.

The cameras were pointed at these people.

The shutter clicks wildly.

The flashlight flashed wildly.

The red archbishops took action one after another.

Only the Pope was calm.

The reporters had different looks, but in his eyes they seemed to have the same face. That was his old colleague from five hundred years ago, the person who should have died in the Beginning.

"Yin Hao."

He said softly: "It is indeed you."

The spokesperson of the Akashic Holy Cult was furious. He immediately slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "There is no evidence. Everything is nonsense. These people are obviously controlled by heretics and are deliberately trying to discredit the church. I will catch you." The people behind the scenes, you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd was separated.

Yuan Qing walked out in a suit and skirt. Her high heels made a clicking sound on the floor. She raised her charming yet wild face and said in a loud voice: "Is it true that the Holy Cult of Akasha does not exclude dissidents? So, may I ask? , where did the Vice-Pope go for such an important meeting? We have documents about the Watcher's Lighthouse in our hands."

Ai Yue was also wearing a black suit, raised her cold eyes, raised the document in her hand and said: "After investigation, the deputy pope of Akasha Holy Cult, Yan Minghan, was assassinated and disappeared two days ago. At the same time, he disappeared There is also an important witness in Aoshan Island Prison, Carl Maria Willigert. Why did the Akashic Church conceal the information? "

The cardinals were stunned.

Secretary Zhou and Mr. Peng sat in the audience silently. Even though most people at the scene were watching the actions of the two old men, they remained silent as if they were watching a show.

The scene was in an uproar, especially the audience in front of the TV. They seemed to smell the coming storm. This was super sensational news that had been rare in hundreds of years.

Faced with the question, the Pope finally spoke: "The Vice-Pope is ill and is recuperating at the moment. As for Karl and others in Aoshan Island Prison, they have been secretly transferred."

He raised his eyes, stared at the two girls in front of him, and said in a very calm tone: "It turns out that you were the ones who invaded the Stellar Technology Building yesterday. This is a serious violation of discipline and defection. You are going to be sent away." Court martial."

The plainclothes soldiers in the audience immediately stood up and surrounded the girls. If they were not afraid of their strength, they might have taken action on the spot.

"Sure enough, the church has seriously eroded the military."

Secretary Zhou said calmly: "Do they still know that they are soldiers? Or do they think of themselves as church clergy in their hearts?"

Peng Xianzhi snorted coldly and said nothing.

The door to the rooftop suddenly opened, and Admiral Su Shi walked in with the special night sequence, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, everyone here. I received an investigation order from the headquarters of the Supreme Federation Supreme Council, and now I want to conduct an investigation on everyone at the scene. Control. We suspect that the Akasha Holy Cult has been eroded by the Celestial Civilization and must conduct a comprehensive investigation immediately."

Accompanied by the whistling wind, the night special forces had passed through the crowd and arrived in all directions of the venue, appearing and disappearing like ghosts.

Next comes the swarming Dawn Special sequence.

The roar of helicopters and Quinjet fighters rang out in the sky.

The military has obviously begun to take control of the scene.

Su Shi took out the confidential document in his hand and said to the audience: "The order issued by the President of the Federation requires the immediate suspension of the Akashic Holy Cult's Watcher Lighthouse Project!"

At this moment, things went wrong.

Such a thing happened in front of the public media all over the world.

This is a joke to others!

The six red archbishops of the Akashic Holy Cult looked at each other. They obviously realized that the development of the matter was beyond their control, and the Human Watch Army had obviously reacted.

Only the Pope was unmoved and said calmly: "Okay, since the president has given the order, just stop it. The Akashic Holy Church accepts all investigations. The original intention of our transformation is to protect the sacred tree and use divine power to maintain it. We have a clear conscience for world peace.”

Too magnanimous.

Such a frank answer seemed to make it seem like they really had no problem, but in fact a majestic pressure swept over them and permeated the hearts of everyone present.

Su Shi frowned slightly, the wind and snow whistling in his eyes.

But at this moment, Ai Yue and Yuan Qing looked at each other. At this moment, they both felt the vague pressure, but they still mustered up the courage to say: "In this case, please Mr. Pope hand over the Ruins of Time." key and allow Mr. Elder to be investigated together.”

There was a boom.

The girl seemed to feel the power of the earth shattering.

In an instant, their orifices were bleeding.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The Pope looked at them coldly: "But if this is the case, shouldn't you two first pay the due price for yesterday's invasion?"

At that moment, just when the girls' world was collapsing, a generous figure stood in front of them, and in an instant, the overwhelming pressure disappeared.

Su Shi protected the children behind his back and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Pope, this is a bit too much. If senior officers of the military violate discipline, it will be resolved by the military."

The Pope smoked a cigarette, stood up from his chair, and looked at him condescendingly: "Really? But I remember that according to the extraordinary laws of the Supreme Federation revised sixty-seven years ago, the Akashic Holy Church also has independent autonomy. Watcher The lighthouse is a system used to maintain peace and should not be stopped due to any political factors, especially when life disasters strike.”

Su Shi raised his head and faced him tit for tat, and saw the black card on his chest at a glance. He also knew that the body of the Watcher's Lighthouse was not here, but in the Ruins of Time in the suburbs.

But if you want to enter the Ruins of Time, you must have that black card.

But here comes the problem.

Sushi is only the eighth wisdom realm.

His rank is very high.

But not high enough.

Secretary Zhou and Mr. Peng have high enough ranks, but they are already old and it is difficult for them to show their due strength. But this time the opponent is different.

The Pope of the Akashic Church.

The strength of the Ninth Crown Realm has basically been determined to have the prototype of the kingdom. As long as it takes that step, it can reach the top and be remembered by history.

Without Yuan Rong, no one is his opponent.

"I am the Pope of the Holy Cult of Akasha, and I exist for the order of the world. I hereby guarantee that the Watcher Lighthouse System will bring peace and hope to the world again. If this system leads to disaster and turmoil, then all results are up to me. I will bear it myself.”

The pope's voice echoed throughout the audience, like a lion roaring. After five hundred years of dormancy, he finally showed his domineering and toughness that matched his status today.

Even Su Shi was shocked by the pressure, but he still raised his head and said coldly: "I'm sorry, team leader, I still want to give it a try."

The title he used was not Pope.

But the team leader.

Because they were colleagues five hundred years ago.

In a sense, Su Shi was excluded from the church system by the pope in front of him, otherwise he would not have joined the military and became a special general.

I saw Su Shi raising his hand, feeling cold.

It was as if the wind and snow were roaring in, freezing the air.

The moment the frost and snow dispersed, they were suddenly shattered.

Because the six archbishops stood up together and let out a cold snort in unison, a huge sound wave swept across like a tide, shattering the howling frost and snow.

But at this time.

The door on the rooftop was suddenly blasted open.

I saw a shimmering afterimage roaring towards me, passing through the crowd in the auditorium, passing by the military personnel who were unable to react in time, passing through the tense crowd, and escaping from the camera with a speed that subverted cognition. , came to the seat belonging to the Holy Cult of Akasha.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

There was a click.

The necks of the five red archbishops were twisted, and the shocked expressions were still frozen on their faces. The huge sound waves were stuck in their throats, and the strange sounds like dying of breath gradually disappeared.

With a thud, he fell to the ground.

Only the last red archbishop stood there in horror. He was held high in the air, kicking his legs randomly like a rabbit and struggling wildly.

"What you just said is indeed watertight."

Medanzo grabbed this guy's throat, raised his shining fingers, and touched his forehead: "But now, I want you to say it again. Is that really the truth?"

A devilish face.

A devilish voice.

Like a demonic fear.

The cardinal was so frightened that he peed his pants.

Of course, it's not shameful to wet your pants in front of Metanzo.

At the press conference, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. Only the Pope remained calm and even lit a cigarette for himself: "I knew you would come. Your style of doing things is still the same as before. Like a rebellious child.”

"Hey, long time no see."

Medanzo still grabbed the red archbishop's neck, turned his head slowly, and showed a weird and crazy smile: "Teacher."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang!

The two holy high priests Suye and Tiansi stood up, and saw their hands suddenly clasped together, and a huge beam of light fell from the sky, drowning the body of the white-haired young man.

The endless holy light falls like a waterfall.

The sound washed over Metanzo's body.

It seemed as if he was going to be burned up in the holy light.

Metanzo's body could no longer be seen in the endless light, but his mysterious and deep eyes were still bright, with a hint of sarcastic smile.

"Didn't you notice that there is one less person today?"

yes.

The Holy Cult of Akasha lost one person today.

There were supposed to be three holy high priests.

But from beginning to end, there were only two sacred high priests, Suye and Tiansi.

Where did the High Priest Lianhua go?

Along with this question, a cold female voice sounded in the terrifying roar, echoing in everyone's ears: "My life depends on heaven..."
