Chapter 666 Fear as Anchor
‘The original sin of the old “Blue Holy Flame”… was called “The Feast of Bliss.” ’
Chen Lun closed his eyes tightly.
He raised his head and the force field quietly dissipated.
The heavy rain poured down on his body, washing away the blood and tears from his face.
Regarding the source of the Azure Holy Flame, it was the last information flow obtained by the incarnation on the "Ark", but other than that, there is no more information.
‘The old days are indeed too powerful. Even with my current strength, I almost lose control even if I observe it from a distance... The 500 million sanity harvested from players is directly reduced by 100 million. ’
Chen Lun slowly opened his eyes.
Deep fear and solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He looked down at his palms again.
'And there is a huge problem... Although I came to reality through the advent ceremony and can take action here, the Sun Continent is too far away from here, and the anchor point of "Cang King" cannot support my continuous "cross-region" activities. . ’
For those in high positions, faith and anchor are indispensable.
Faith represents reason, which determines that those in high positions will not be infected by pollution and lose control. Chen Lun does not need to worry about this at all.
He still has a sanity reserve of 400 million on hand.
But the anchor point means "existence". Without it, high-ranking people cannot continue to move, otherwise they will lose themselves in power.
To give an analogy, if the high-ranking person is a train, reason is coal, then the anchor point is the track... With reason but no anchor point, no matter how fast the train is, it will eventually lose itself in the boundless "power desert" .
He may still have reason, but he has forgotten who he is.
The best result is just to become an "agent" of sequence or authority.
If Chen Lun loses all anchors, then he is no longer Chen Lun, but an angel of destiny who holds "secret" authority... He can be called "Anonymous" or "King Cang", but he is definitely not " Chen Lun".
Of course this is just a hypothesis.
As long as his love for Floy remains passionate, his obsession will make him always remember himself... At most, his freedom of action will be restricted.
In the Sun Continent, there are almost no high-ranking people who have lost control due to the lack of anchor points.
After all, anchor points are generally composed of "influence". High-ranking people on the Sun Continent have basically had a huge impact directly or indirectly, otherwise they will not be able to meet the requirements of the promotion ceremony.
But Chen Lun's current situation is extremely special.
He crossed an unknown distance and landed on the Azure Star. He lacked an anchor point here and could not continue to move.
In order to solve this problem, Chen Lun quickly came up with an idea.
A simple and crude but very effective idea.
"Everyone, I need you to do me a favor."
He turned around and spoke softly to Dongyang, Chenxi and others.
"Mr. Jack, please speak."
Dongyang and others quickly lowered their heads and said respectfully.
Chen Lun said something lightly.
The ten people present immediately froze on the spot, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Something that shocked Dongyang and the others happened next——
bite!
[You triggered the S-level side mission: Fear as Anchor! 】
Task description: "King of Blue Clothes" Jack Spate has come to your hometown, Azure Star, and he needs enough influence as an anchor.
He has commissioned you, and your companions, to spread fear for Him.
(Note: Refusal will have serious consequences, choose carefully!)
Mission goal: Make enough federal residents fear the "King of Blue Clothes". (Not less than 100 million people/rewards can be stacked)
Mission reward: 20W experience points, 10 attribute points and 5 regional popularity points.
Task panel? !
Spreading fear? !
Dongyang and others were stunned. The CPU in their brains was unable to perform calculations and burned out on the spot.
What the hell is going on? !
Why do the panels in the game appear in reality? ! !
'Um? ’
Chen Lun discovered something strange about Dongyang and others.
Although he knew that his commission was indeed appalling, he would not make them look like they had seen a ghost.
Calmly performing "Thought Stealing", Chen Lun instantly got the answers he wanted from the minds of Dongyang and others...
‘They can actually receive panel prompts in reality! ’
Chen Lun was also surprised.
His thoughts were spinning very fast, and with his inhuman brain power, he quickly thought of the greatest possibility——
Could it be...
That last four-season bookmark?
Maybe the answer has something to do with it.
‘Only by actually getting the “Flower” in hand can this conjecture be verified... But before that, I need a deep enough anchor to support the movement of this body. ’
Chen Lun stood in the rain, thinking silently.

Half an hour later.
Dongyang and others wore brightly colored raincoats and walked on the bustling streets with their heads lowered, blending perfectly into the crowd.
The streamlined hover car full of technology whizzed past them in the lane beside them, streaking across the streets.
Soon, they stopped in a huge square.
Even on a heavy rainy day, there are still people coming and going here and it is very lively.
"The most visited area in Huanlan City has arrived, Star Valley Plaza."
The centaur's voice sounded in the private channel.
Dongyang raised his head and stared at the front of Xinggu Plaza. A huge screen spanning the entire square and hundreds of meters high was hung in front of a business building.
There are two attached screens on both sides, relying on two other tall buildings. Although the size is slightly smaller, it is still shocking.
At this moment, these three large screens are playing advertisements, promoting some of the latest technology products owned by major consortiums.
For example, the "9.1A electronic pill" can greatly improve men's endurance. It is not only effective on the human body, but also covers various chip modules and even various models of "special prostheses"...
It can be stronger and more powerful, turning men into beasts of the night.
"We come from the future to change the present, you live in the present and create the future."
The popular actress "Sully Hafen" has long silver hair and wears a slim-fitting silver dress. She sits on a white chair, holding a transparent transistor the size of a fingernail in one hand, and plays with an enchanting mechanical sound. He spoke.
Finally, the logo of the Doug Consortium was also displayed on the screen.
Dongyang withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice in the channel:
"Act as planned and let's get started."
"Received."
The other team members who had already dispersed responded one after another.
Chen Xi and Honey Yuzu were wearing lavender and pink hooded raincoats respectively. They walked through the rain. After buying two glasses of mixed juice at the window of the beverage shop on the side of the square, they went straight to the awning next to the central flower bed.
There were many glass round tables and chairs here for people to rest and dine. After they sat down, Yuzi put her bag on the table tacitly and took out a small laptop.
Chen Xi took it smoothly, and while sipping her drink, she connected the data cable behind her ear to the computer and started typing on the keyboard.
It looks like a casual office.
There were countless people like the two of them in several areas of the entire square, and they were not conspicuous at all.
Soon, with a snap, Chenxi's slender index finger tapped on the Enter key. The gradient purple manicure complemented the colorful keycap, which was quite beautiful.
Zizi——
The speakers hidden in the decorative sculptures around the square suddenly emitted an uncomfortable electric sound.
The bustling crowd stopped and looked at the big screen with frowns. Even some men and women sitting and relaxing under the big umbrellas of the awning also turned their heads to look.
"What are you doing?"
“It’s so noisy!”
On the big screen, the advertisement that was playing suddenly flashed, and then the screen went black.
Then the screen changed, revealing a figure.
The man looked young and his appearance was impeccable.
It's just that the dress is quite retro, wearing a black top hat and black dress, and holding an ivory white carved cane in his hand, which belongs to the style of hundreds of years ago.
On the big screen, a man was standing upright on the rooftop of a building hundreds of meters high, standing on the guardrail in the heavy rain.
Facing the camera, behind you is the bustling scene of the entire gorgeous city.
"Good day, residents of the Federation."
The top hat gentleman looked calm.
The deep and magnetic voice resounded and echoed throughout the square through high-tech speakers, even drowning out the sound of the pouring rain.
"Unfortunately, I have to inform you of bad news here... Because the federal government and the Azure Holy Religion refuse to surrender to me, the entire federation will suffer my divine punishment..."
"Hahaha!"
"Which company's new advertisement is this?"
"It should be a creative short film by the Red Consortium. It's not bad. Although this style of clothing is old-fashioned, it is also quite fresh. It makes me want to try a different one!"
The crowd in the square laughed and laughed, pointing at the big screen.
Some men and women under the awning couldn't help but smile, talk and laugh, and commented on the strange man on the screen. They thought this guy looked really good, but I didn't know which prosthetic doctor had the plastic surgery technology and customized modules.
Snap!
Chen Xi's index finger then pressed the Enter key again.
Dozens of program boxes popped up on the screen of the laptop, and the codes were running by themselves at extremely fast speeds.
"Sister Chenxi, it seems that Brother Gouzi and the others have succeeded."
Honey Yuzu whispered from the side.
Chen Xi nodded.
The plan is going smoothly.
Goutou Jin, Forgotten Wuji, Dragon King and others acted separately, relying on force to force their way into the highest-standard signal station in Brilliant City, and inserted her backup chip into the server.
Chen Xi successfully entered the darkness.
Didi!
At this time, pedestrians in Xinggu Plaza and even on the surrounding roads all received an unknown text message without exception.
The crowd stopped and opened their personal terminals curiously and confusedly.
But he was shocked to find that the holographic projection on the text message was exactly the same as the picture on the big screen in the square!
Still the man in the black hat and black clothes.
The camera gradually moved forward, and the gentleman opened his arms.
Grinning into the camera.
"Please remember, please hate as much as you like... I am the King of Blue Clothes, Jack Spate."
"What the hell?! What's going on?!"
"Which consortium did this?!"
The crowd immediately started talking.
Many men and women frowned, dissatisfied with such spam messages.
boom! ! !
Suddenly there was a loud noise.
A giant sculpture in the center of Star Valley Plaza suddenly exploded.
The violent tremors and fire suddenly frightened the crowd.
boom! boom! boom! !
Continuous explosions occurred all around.
Walls and glass of high-rise buildings were shattered and splashed, and landscape trees and technological landmark decorations were all destroyed.
The momentum was so great that the ground shook.
The whining sirens kept coming and going, extremely harsh.
The woman started screaming and the crowd fled wildly.
There was chaos all around.
The rain became more intense and panic began to spread.
However, the crowd originally thought that this was a terrorist attack planned by rebels or cyberpsychotics, but their guess was quickly overturned by the next scene——
There was a crackling sound.
Countless pieces of gravel, glass, and even raindrops defied the laws of physics and floated upward.
Then came larger objects, such as tables and stools, flowers, plants, and parasols...until the ground cracked, stone slabs, large swaths of walls, and even entire buildings floated and rose.
Everyone gave up escaping.
Everyone looked at this doomsday scene with horrified faces and raised their heads in shock.
A huge "star" composed of countless tiny objects shrouded the sky above the entire gorgeous city, blocking out the sky and the sun.
"Has the end of the world as spoken by the Holy Religion come..." (End of Chapter)
