Chapter 577: Liquidation
Perhaps it was Gillan's trembling caused by suppressing the intense discomfort that woke Torina up from sleeping in her arms.
The girl stood up quickly and asked with concern:
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay."
Ji Lan shook his head and gave a reassuring look.
“Just touching the new essence has improved my strength, making it more difficult for my 'downgraded' body to act in the world... If I am a little careless, I am afraid that the escaped power will trigger an unstoppable mystery. Disaster."
"Your essence has been improved again!"
Tolina covered her mouth, very surprised.
Jilan nodded.
The girl looked at him with a rather emotional expression.
“It’s amazing.” Torina said. "You are as special as 'Director' Mr. Clark. Although you do not have the help of 'Enlightenment Fire', your promotion speed is still rapid... I remember when we first met, you were still a second-level mystic. Now more than two years have passed, but you have already Became a ninth-level apostle."
"I can feel you now. The aura on her body is very powerful. Although it is not as strong as Si Chen, even Mr. Qiao La is far inferior to you."
As she said that, Torina paused for a moment and took the initiative to reach out and massage Jilan's temples. , whispered:
“You just touched the new essence, are you tired?”
"Fortunately, it's not..."
Gilan responded with a smile.
But before he finished speaking, he saw Torina staring at him with a meaningful look.
"Well, I am indeed a little tired."
He changed his words.
The corner of the girl's mouth curled up, and she suggested in a low voice:
"How about you 'upgrade' and go back to Castle Black, and have a good rest... After all, as you said, staying in the world is very taxing on your body. "Big."
"Ahem..." How could Ji Lan not know what the other party meant, but the tacit understanding was not broken. "Okay, let's rest first."
…
…
After most of the day.
Deep in the dream, the isolated island Black Castle.
On the big bed in the attic boudoir, the blurry outlines of two people can be seen through the curtains.
Jilan looked blank and stared at the top of the bed in a daze.
The black-haired girl was hugging him like a koala, and kept stroking his left chest with her index finger.
The missing circle cross mark that emits a deep black light becomes deeper as Torina depicts it over and over again.
In these days, Jilan couldn’t remember how many times Torina had deepened the mark on him. He couldn’t help but retract his gaze, looked at her, smiled and said:
" Now, I’m afraid even you can’t remove the missing circle mark.”
“I won’t remove it.”
Tolina raised her black eyes and smiled slightly. vocal channel.
"It needs to stay on your body forever, so that I won't find you. And..."
"And what?"
"Well, I won't tell you."
Tolina smiled playfully, her eyes moving.
Jilan didn’t know what he meant, but he didn’t ask. He just smiled and kissed the other person’s forehead.
As Torina's law was completed and the chronic illness in her legs was cured, her character became a little more lively than the original tranquility.
This is obviously a good change, indicating that Torina's heart has been opened and she is no longer stuck in the darkness and ice of the past.
Jilan is so happy.
He lowered his head and glanced at the missing round cross mark on his chest. There seemed to be some power hidden in the deep darkness, tightly connecting him and Torina, as if they were inseparable from each other.
Although he had no emotional experience in his previous life due to physical and mental disabilities, he also understood that this was a manifestation of the girl's strong possessiveness.
"Want to sleep some more?"
Gilan asked softly.
Tolina shook her little head and said:
"No, I have slept enough. Instead, you should take a nap and I will massage you..."
< br>“Okay.”
Gilan did not refuse and readily agreed.
He closed his eyes and immediately felt a pair of gentle hands pressing his muscles, which was quite comfortable and relaxing.
Just like that, Jilan's consciousness fell into a deep sleep... Although he fell asleep, it was dreamless, because he was already in a dream.
Mortals sleep in dreams, but ascended ones sleep in dreams. The two are completely opposite.
Just like reality and dreams, they are reflections of each other.
Time passed quietly.
A few days later.
On an isolated island of ice and snow in the sea of blood, Gilan once again finished the day's "cleaning work" and returned to the cave from the bottom of the sea. He and Torina hugged each other and warmed up by the fire, drinking tea and chatting.
But he suddenly noticed something and silently took out a metal microphone that was constantly vibrating from his arms.
The inside of the silver microphone shines with a complicated triangle and circle alchemy array, as well as a special symbol.
Someone was calling his alchemy hotline.
Looking at the symbol, Gillan recognized it as the symbol of the mysterious investigation committee.
Click.
“Hello, Maiev?”
Gilan answered, held the phone to his ear and said.
A woman's voice came from the other end:
"Yes, Chairman Gilan."
"What happened?"
Gilan asked again.
Generally speaking, with the four members of Aleviya taking the lead, there will be no mistakes in the affairs of the committee. For Maiev to take the initiative to call him on the hotline meant that the matter was unusual and that he, the chairman of the committee, needed to make a personal decision.
"That's right, Chairman... According to your wishes, Miss Aurora and the four of them held a mobilization meeting a month ago. Together with other leaders, they formulated a detailed 'clearance plan' and targeted the three major old god secret sects. The action was taken."
On the other end, Maiev said in a deep voice.
"The twenty-two leaders each led their teams to perform the mission, and the process went smoothly. In just two weeks, they tracked the opponent's stronghold based on intelligence clues and launched a pursuit until the secret cult members in the empire were Most of them were wiped out... It's a pity that the leaders and senior officials of the three old god secret sects have not yet been killed."
< br>“After urgently calling for the assistance of the three high priests of the Mechanicum, we successfully captured the other party’s traces, but they had already gone to the border of the empire and were about to flee.”
“The heads of each group jointly requested I asked Chairman Jilan whether to continue the pursuit and eradicate the three old esoteric sects.”
"Yes, I understand." Gillan held the metal microphone and said softly. After thinking for a while, he added: "I will take charge of this matter myself. In addition, please convey to the heads of each group for me to express their hard work and that all achievements will be distributed in accordance with the committee regulations."
So when he chose to take action personally, Jilan also had some considerations.
The Three Old Gods Esoteric Cult is not simple.
They are not following the "Road of Fire Swords", but the "Road of Secret Ritual" that is closely connected with the old gods. The power system is very strange. The average members are okay and not too powerful, but the situation is different for the leaders and higher-ups.
According to Jilan's knowledge, when the "Road of Secret Ritual" goes to a deeper level, it not only receives more gifts from the old gods, but also carries stronger power.
Just like the "Killing Game" host he met in the real film "Old Peel". As a high-ranking member of the "Crescent Moon Society", "Mr. Crescent Moon" is obviously stronger than the average Level 5 Kusei, almost the same as Level 6, and more lethal.
This is just a high-level person, not a leader.
What's more, the other party has fled to the border and is about to leave the empire. If the people in charge are allowed to continue to travel long distances to lead the pursuit outside the country, it is likely to cause casualties or even serious losses.
“Yes, Chairman.”
Mavey’s respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
After Ji Lan finished explaining, he asked about the recent war situation. As a result, according to Maiev, the Battle of Buao is currently very tense. In the past, the Federation had an absolute advantage and had penetrated the Empire's defense lines one after another. Even if the advantage is no longer there, the strongholds, fortresses and other war facilities built and deployed along the way after the massive invasion will not disappear, and they have stubbornly resisted the Empire's counterattack.
The only weakness of the opponent currently is that the logistics supply line is too long.
When fighting in the empire's homeland, the other side obviously suffered a disadvantage. It is difficult for the Federation to fight for consumption.
But no one knows how long this war will last.
Perhaps, the only thing is to wait for which side can't support it.
After hearing the battle situation, Gilan was silent for a while. He told Maiev a few more words before hanging up the hotline.
Click.
After he put the metal microphone away again, the girl beside him asked:
"Are you going to carry out the mission yourself?"
Gillan's call did not avoid Torina, she naturally knew what happened.
"Yeah." Jilan nodded. "I'll be gone for a while, but it shouldn't be too long."
"I'll go with you."
Tolina said.
“I don’t want to stay here alone, and I don’t want to go back to Castle Black alone...”
Hearing this, Jilan did not refuse and nodded with a smile.
…
…
With Jilan's current strength, he can already use the "Law of Bubbles" to digitize his own abilities and tamper with them to a certain extent.
Therefore, he simply expanded the seventh-level ability of "fast movement" to achieve the effect of teleporting people.
Just the blink of an eye.
Gilan and Tolina disappeared from the cave on the isolated island in the Blood Sea, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers from the extreme south to the extreme north, and arrived in a ruined city.
It is evening now.
The sky was overcast and gray.
The once prosperous and lively Bosvia was first hit by the Federation's "Final Explosion", and then became one of the main battlefields of the war between Austria and Austria. Now it is full of ruins. of scorched ruins.
There was deathly silence all around, not even the chirping of birds or insects.
The streets are in dilapidated condition and are covered with craters, remains of shoes, hats and clothing, various garbage and black blood stains. Stone slabs were broken and overturned, and collapsed street lamps and trash cans were everywhere.
Two figures, a man and a woman, shuttled side by side among the ruins. Along the way, many wreckage fragments of tanks and armored vehicles could be seen.
"Is the mission target you are looking for in the ruins of this city?"
Tolina asked.
"Yes." Jilan smiled and explained patiently: "According to the information given by the Mechanicus, the leaders and senior officials of the Crescent Moon Society fled here. They seem to be planning to use this road. Go abroad.”
He looked around at the surrounding environment.
The cold wind passed through the abandoned city, whistling like a ghost. The apocalyptic urban scene gives people an extremely desolate feeling.
This city is the prototype of the real film "Old Peel". The original game involving the "Moon God" and the "Remnant King", the "killing game" created around the ascension of the "Torrent", happened here.
It’s just that the spiral tower named “God’s Choice Tower” disappeared decades ago.
"I sensed them."
At this time, Gilan stopped and said softly.
His perception is so powerful now. Coupled with the level 7 ability "Aiming Assist" blessed by the "Law of Bubbles", he can easily see through every corner of the entire city.
No one in this world can hide under his nose.
Gilan raised his hand.
Torina smiled slightly and put her little hand up in a tacit understanding, holding it for the other party.
Soon, Gilan took a step forward.
Whoosh——
The two disappeared again.
This time, he teleported directly to another street in the abandoned capital of Bosvia.
There were roadblocks piled with sandbags all over the front, and some metal debris that hadn't been cleared in time piled up like a hill.
Jilan stood on the street and turned to look at a residential building on the left.
On the wall full of bullet holes, many crooked words were painted in blood, such as "Hiru", "Bastard" and "Slaughter".
Apparently it was left here by the Owina army.
Every window in this seemingly deserted residential building was covered with black cloth.
"They are in the basement of this building."
Gilan said lightly.
Tolina leaned next to him, saying nothing, but with an interesting smile on her face.
At this moment.
Bear! !
Black flames suddenly ignited under Gilan's feet.
The flame formed a circle, surrounding him and the girl, and the fire gradually grew larger, trying to engulf the two of them.
"The object of Miss Furtis's greatest respect is actually the fourth year old 'Mr. Pearl' Ivan."
Tolina faced the black fire that surrounded her, and she didn't feel anything at all. Don't worry, talk about it as if nothing happened.
“Therefore, the embodiment of the power of His law in the earthly world is also in the form of fire, and it also targets the spirit body.”
"I see."
Gilan raised his eyebrows.
No wonder the spiral of the divine sword, the essence of April's "Miss Elegy", whether "clown", "match", "incense", "quiet bell", etc., are all related to flames.
These are all imitating the "Moon God".
Bear! !
The black flames suddenly gathered together, forming a pillar of fire several meters in diameter, engulfing both Gilan and Torina.
This fire is not hot, but as cold as bones.
Even the originally cold air condensed into ice crystal dust, spreading everywhere like a heavy fog.
Six men and women wearing classic black ceremonial robes suddenly appeared around the pillar of fire, standing in the position of a six-pointed star, and began to pray.
Their faces were smeared with thick white foundation, weird and exaggerated makeup, and they were mumbling something.
But the ceremony for the six people had just begun, and the black pillar of fire gradually became smaller until the man and woman inside were revealed.
The tip of the girl's raised index finger was condensing a black hole the size of a fingernail, which was forcefully dragging the surrounding flames and swallowing it.
The ceremony was forced to be interrupted...
This scene made the six men and women in black robes stiffen and remain speechless in astonishment.
“You six should be the First Quarter Moon Disciples of the ‘Quarter Moon Society’.”
Ji Lan's expression remained normal and he spoke softly.
“Where is the leader?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall middle-aged man slowly walked out of the residential building.
This person has long hair, wears a spacious black gold-rimmed dress, and has an ordinary appearance.
“Your Excellency, ‘Red Sage’, I didn’t expect that you would actually take action personally and even chase you here...”
