Chapter 63 The weird moon!
In the car, Ji Xun sat silently in the corner.
His "unsociable" persona has been established, and those colleagues ignored him and just talked to themselves.
“Boss, where are you going on this mission?”
“There was a fight between workers at the gunpowder factory, and more than a dozen people died. I heard that the explosion was very bad, and it was A tough job"
"Oh, the people in the union have taken some wrong medicine recently, and they are also making noises and holding parades. People are dying every day, and they don't know what they are trying to do."
"I heard that the consortium from the upper city started a After joining the factory, the salary was nearly 4,000 yuan a month, which was much higher than other factories. At first, the gang members said it was a conspiracy, and few people went. But later, people who tried it got the money, and people from other factories gradually started to work. It's a riot. The union has also put a lot of pressure on the gangs."
"Yes. My buddy is the one who 'painted the wall'. The gang recently assassinated several foremen who took the lead in the trouble." br>
"The average labor force is already 4,000? Hiss. So, the wages of our corpse collectors should also be increased."
"."
It was no longer new for Ji Xun to hear these things.
Workers are also one of the biggest sources of unrest in Innocence City recently.
After Cao Sihai was killed, the federal congressmen also learned that it would be difficult to defeat the hard nut of Innocence City by relying on force alone.
The chaebol businessmen obviously have a further vision and their methods are much more slick.
They knew that once the Old Continent was developed on a large scale, Innocence City would inevitably become a choke point city, so they began to seize various resources in Innocence City as soon as they arrived.
With its huge financial resources, it acquired, invested in, and built a large number of factories.
The chaebols are very wealthy and concentrate on grabbing resources in order to squeeze out the small workshops in the city in a short period of time, so they raise wages very high, poaching people at almost two or three times the salary.
Suddenly, the conflicts among the people at the bottom of Innocence City changed from being unanimous to the outside world to internal conflicts.
For example, Nuggets Pier.
Although the Nugget Pier, the only connection to the Old World, is controlled by gangs, it is the lower-level workers who actually do the work.
Originally there was no risk, but the salary was low.
The cost of porters is only 3,000 per month.
Now someone is offering 6000, who are you going to do it with?
It would be strange not to make trouble.
This is the plan.
Even if you know, there is nothing you can do.
Is it possible that the gangs in Innocence City can still play with the chaebol to increase their wages?
I tasted the sweetness at first, but it was eaten away bit by bit.
I want to stop it now, but I can’t.
Playing with power and economics, people at the bottom can never be the opponents of those politicians.
The influx of a large amount of hot money has also caused prices in Innocence City to skyrocket. People have to pursue higher salaries if they want to survive, and conflicts will become more and more intense.
But this is a supernatural world where power reigns supreme over politics.
Originally, the methods of businessmen were not so vicious, at least not everyone had such long-term vision.
But it seems that another invisible force is secretly adding fuel to the flames. Someone deliberately guided the direction of the wind at several key nodes, and the turmoil became more and more intense.
Ji Xun sensed a familiar formula from the recent turmoil.
Like the labyrinth of a large cemetery, a few pieces of news ruined the Cao family's path to governorship.
I never saw any "mastermind" from beginning to end.
The same is true for this turmoil.
Obviously, there are master plans behind these turmoils.
If the trouble continues like this, before long, even if the nobles don't send any lords to suppress it, all classes in Innocence City will conflict and divide themselves.
This kind of method was not surprising to Ji Xun in his previous life when information was developed.
But he also thought it was pretty good.
Judging from the information he has learned now, the mysterious "Old Continent" is a place with real legends of gods and demons.
That is the sea of stars.
Ji Xun is full of interest in that mysterious place.
It’s also good to develop it early.
Not long after, the steam truck arrived at the gunpowder factory.
The fighting here has subsided and it is a mess, waiting for their corpse collectors to clean up the battlefield.
Ji Xun and others got out of the car and started collecting the bodies as usual.
Originally this was a very ordinary field mission, gathering the stumps, spraying medicine, and then bagging them into the car.
However, no one expected that a strange event would happen.
As I kept it, the surrounding light suddenly became brighter.
It is not the light emitted by the dim gas lamp.
But a kind of bright silver light.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Look, what is that in the sky!"
Ji Xun was also attracted by the light. When he looked up, he was also stunned.
The sky shows a vision.
Is this
the moon?
Ji Xun’s eyes froze.
I don’t know when there was an extra bright moon in the sky!
Why is there a moon in the underground city?
He dazzled and thought he had seen it wrong.
But if you take a closer look, isn’t that bright celestial body in the sky just a silver-hook-like moon?
Ji Xun looked at it and his eyes narrowed, and he was also very confused: "What is going on."
Although the space of this underground city is high, it is far from high enough to accommodate such a huge celestial body.
What you see in your eyes is not necessarily the real thing, but most likely some kind of optical anomaly similar to projection.
“How did you do it?”
Ji Xun observed for a while but did not see the projected light trace.
To the naked eye, the moon looks exactly like the real thing, hanging high in the endless darkness.
Moreover, looking at it, it seems that the moon has a magical power, which makes people feel a sense of spiritual pleasure.
Ji Xun found this feeling strangely familiar.
“What is that?”
“I don’t know, is it a new lighting device made by Shangcheng Laboratory?”
“Hey, why don’t you Said, it’s quite beautiful.”
"."
The people in the dungeon have never seen the moon, and no one knows what it means.
One by one, they pointed at the luminous objects in the sky.
Ji Xun always felt something was wrong, and vaguely felt that something big was about to happen.
However, the moment he thought about it carefully, an idea flashed in his mind, and he shouted in his heart: "This is how it feels!"
He finally realized that the familiar feeling just now was for nothing.
In the secret room in the maze of the cemetery, he looked at the "" symbol carving on the ceiling.
That’s how it felt at that time! Exactly the same!
Suddenly, Ji Xun understood immediately and had already determined the direction in his heart: "The moon in the sky was made by the believers of the old gods behind the cellar in Tailor Street!"
And almost as long as he looked at it for a moment, an enlightenment emerged that made people think deeply: "You are exempt from a slight pollution of faith"
"This pollution of faith!"
< br>Thinking of something, even Ji Xun's current state of mind was amazed when he looked at this method: "What a big gesture."
He squinted at the moon in the sky, his eyes gradually dimmed. It was cold, and I murmured to myself: "Are those guys from the old sect such a big deal? They just hide in the dark on weekdays. With this appearance, they directly use the moon to pollute their faith. Are they going to pollute the entire Sinless City?"< br>
These guys are playing so blatantly, are they planning to cause a big wave?
It turns out that it’s not just the chaebols who are lively, the believers of the ancient gods are also lively in the shadows.
Enlightenment’s reminder is already very obvious.
The moon is not just beautiful.
But it is a source of pollution.
The source of disaster that pollutes faith!
If there were no [JOKER] Trickster exemption from faith tampering entry, Ji Xun might have been tricked himself and would not have been able to detect it at all.
At this moment, he also understood the meaning of this entry.
What kind of pollution is this? Can there be a greater threat of pollution if you have faith?
It’s like the spiritual stamp that enslaves people. If this thing is tricked, even its cognition will be biased.
The more I think about it, the more I feel like my scalp is numb.
At this moment, Ji Xun seemed to see a big hand from ancient times, quietly pushing away the soil from the tomb and stretching it out, blocking the human view of the heights.
A certain ancient god who has long been buried in the dust of history, after thousands of years, wants to awaken the dormant instinctive terror in human blood and regain control over lower creatures.
Ji Xun looked serious: "Belief is polluted, it's so lively now."
Killing people and making bloody sacrifices. In the eyes of the gods, human beings are probably no different than animals. The believers of the ancient gods are like It gave him a very bad impression.
Ji Xun could already foresee that mankind would be dominated by the gods of the past and fall into endless night.
It was like a human being trapped on an isolated island by gods, knowing the true eternal night forever blinded by false beliefs.
Facing the terror of domination from the indescribable ancient gods, Ji Xun snorted a sneer, his eyes full of burning sternness. The curvature of the corners of his mouth became higher and higher, reaching an almost evil level.
Tsk, let me just say what are the shortcomings
In the end of the world, a place of exile like Innocence City, if it is just violence and disorder, the folk customs can really be considered simple.
To do this now,
It suddenly felt right.
No matter what kind of ancient gods, old sects, or evil god sacrifices
This is the correct way to open up the dark side of the extraordinary world.
This is a world with gods and demons!
Pollution of faith, this mysterious method is impossible to guard against.
If there is no way to restrain it, even high-level spell card masters will fall into the trap.
The hands of those believers of the old gods pose a greater threat of instability than those of the plutocrats.
Ji Xun looked at the moon in the sky, thoughts racing in his mind.
The pollution is not serious at the moment, but it will become difficult to say after a long time.
However, at this moment, the surrounding light dimmed.
Looking again, the moon in the sky suddenly went out.
The night returned to calm.
There is nothing in the sky.
As if everything is an illusion.
“Eh, it was interrupted?”
Ji Xun thought of something immediately after looking at it, and thought to himself: "Is it because there is not enough energy?"
Since the Old Sect has shown up, there is no need to hide it.
Since it is polluting the whole city, it would be good to just do it to the end, but now it is suddenly interrupted?
It should not have been interrupted by an external force.
This is the first time the moon has appeared. Those old believers should not be so stupid. They were discovered the first time.
Ji Xun thought of something else.
He is a staunch materialist.
He also recognized that everything in the universe is an energy unit, and even gods should be described by certain special energy units.
Such a large-scale pollution of faith definitely requires a source of energy.
Even magic must be supported by magic power.
"So, what kind of energy does this 'moon' need?"
Ji Xun thought about it quickly in his mind.
In his eyes, the moon is like a light bulb, which only lights up when electricity is supplied.
But where does "electricity" come from?
Following this line of thought, Ji Xun suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.
"Eh, energy? Could it be generated by a sacrificial ritual?"
Ji Xun instantly thought of the bloody sacrificial ritual in the basement of Tailor Street.
Could it be that [Secret Cause Medium] is actually energy?
Not only that, he also instantly thought of the layout of the maze in the cemetery.
There are four stone pillars in the secret room, on which are carved human sacrifice rituals, and then the priest points to the moon symbol on the ceiling.
Using sacrifices to pray for God’s response.
The more I think about it, the clearer it becomes.
Ji Xun's brain was working rapidly at this moment.
The pieces of information about the old sect kept colliding in my mind.
Secret Chamber of the Great Cemetery, Four Columns to the Moon, Sacrifice in Tailor Street
Like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, a corner of a certain pattern is pieced together in the blink of an eye.
Although I didn’t get a glimpse of the whole picture.
But just this corner is enough for Ji Xun to speculate on a possibility that is very close to the truth.
He is almost certain that there must be a sacrificial ceremony before the "moon" appears.
Ji Xun's eyes fluttered, and a bolder guess came into his mind!
"Now that the position of the moon is fixed, is it possible that the positions of the 'four pillars' are also fixed?"
Although he did not understand why the stone pillars in the secret room were designed in this way.
But his intuition told him that those four stone pillars must have coincided with a certain formation, and they must not be changed easily!
Now the position of the moon has been determined, it is at the exact center.
Then if you make sure a little more, can you determine the position of the four pillars?
"Tailor Street Cellar!"
Ji Xun turned his eyes and already grasped the key point.
If his guess is correct, the cellar in Tailor Street was one of the four pillars.
So in other words, there should be three similar sacrificial ceremony strongholds in the other three locations?
Ji Xun doesn’t care about the old sect.
The spell card masters in this world have been coexisting with gods and demons for countless years, and games at that level are simply not something he can consider with his current strength.
There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the city of innocence. He doesn’t think he is the only one who has discovered something wrong with the moon.
At this moment, Ji Xun had a bold idea in his mind: "What if we can find another place of sacrifice, will we also be able to find the [Secret Cause Medium]?!"
My thoughts suddenly became clear.
Ji Xun’s eyes were burning.
He felt that he might have a big surprise for those Old Day believers!
