Chapter 312 Crazy
After watching the movie.
Jilan sat cross-legged on the ground and remained silent for a long time.
He stared at the illogical movie images that were still flashing on the curtain, his eyes still full of shock.
‘Miss Torina’s full name is actually “Torina Gerald”? ! ’
Ji Lan secretly thought, surprised.
The owner of the Black Castle in the dream, the sick girl in a wheelchair, turned out to be the daughter of William and "Ms. Snow"...
The child of two Si Chens Descendants...
No wonder she is so mysterious and powerful!
When Gillan understood Miss Torina's life experience, it suddenly dawned on why the girl in the wheelchair had a strange reaction when the name of the head of the empire was mentioned in casual chat.
‘Perhaps the reason why Miss Torina has disabled legs and can never leave Castle Black is related to this secret history. ’
Jilan couldn’t help but guess, and sighed secretly at the same time.
In order to ascend, William paid many prices to satisfy the truth of "equivalent exchange"... Among them, the birth of Torina was one of the prices.
In a sense, she is not the "child of love" between William and Xadia, but a "result of a transaction."
"Ms. Snow" borrowed her own laws to help William ascend, and at the same time gave birth to their daughter Torina, thereby saving the world...
From the moment she was born, Torina was forcibly given the mission of saving the world. She couldn't make her own decisions in life at all, everything was arranged.
No matter how great such a mission is, Gillan only feels sorry for her.
Tolina has never experienced the growth process that a normal girl should have. All she has is an empty and silent castle, a cold wheelchair... and unspeakable loneliness and pain.
Until this moment, Gilan understood why Torina was happy every time he visited and why she was so afraid of the dark...
Gilan stood up and fiddled silently with the projector on.
He recalled the hidden scenes he had just seen, and felt a little emotional about William's determination.
Through these secret histories, it can be seen that for some unknown reason, "Ms. Snow" of Jiu Sichen contacted William early in the Land of Gods and told him how to use the "Enlightenment Fire".
Therefore, a series of William's subsequent actions were actually paving the way for his ascension.
Perhaps his original purpose of establishing the "Healing Knights" was just to intervene in the "Battle of Yongsa" and end the war... But later he realized clearly that just like this, he could not realize his dream at all. .
Human beings have endless desires, and neither natural nor man-made disasters can be stopped by human effort... Only by becoming a god can one have the ability to overcome all difficulties and complete the grand vision.
Therefore, William participated in the war, commanded the regiment, was deliberately arrested, and suffered all kinds of inhumane torture in the dungeon.
These are to personally understand the power of the three Si Chens: "Gladiator", "Blind General" and "Noon Dawn".
Including the final combination with Xadia and the creation of their daughter Torina, it is also a "close" experience of the "Snow Lady" path.
William borrowed the experience of the Four Sichen Roads, used the "Enlightenment Fire" as a weight and "equivalent exchange" as a lever, and finally leveraged the truth and soared in the dungeon.
‘William Gerrard…’
Ji Lan silently said something amazing in his heart.
He slowly walked to the window and glanced at the sky.
Even in the morning, the faint outlines of many stars can still be seen in the blue sky. One of them is the "Crane King", which symbolizes the god of struggle and change.
…
…
"Huh?"
Jilan's eyes moved downwards and his brows suddenly frowned. He noticed that there seemed to be some noise and confusion on the street below.
I saw a carriage overturned on the side of the road. The embarrassed passengers were arguing fiercely with the driver. Both sides looked very angry, even ferocious.
Even the horses were snoring and shaking their heads with red eyes, looking very impatient.
The other side of the street.
A middle-aged man in a suit was scolding a newsboy carrying a cross-body bag.
"I told you not to buy it! Don't you understand human language?"
"Sir, just buy a newspaper! There is big news today, really..."< br>
Crack!
The middle-aged man actually slapped the newsboy in the street.
And he cursed with hatred:
"Bottom bastards! You morons don't deserve to live here, get out!"
The newsboy received a slap in the face and fell to the ground.
He raised his head and looked at the back of the middle-aged man, with resentment in his eyes. He stood up, took out a fruit knife from his crossbody bag, flew over and stabbed the opponent in the lower back.
“Ah!” The middle-aged man screamed, clutching his wound and staggering down.
The newsboy sat on top of him and kept stabbing him with his knife, screaming indiscriminately. Blood splattered everywhere and made a popping sound.
At this time, the coachman and passengers who were arguing also got into a fight.
Some pedestrians on the street kept exclaiming when they saw this.
However, such verbal quarrels or physical conflicts are not isolated cases, they occur in every store. People seem to become extremely irritable and mentally unstable.
"What's going on?" Jilan's eyes stern.
He suddenly seemed to have discovered something and immediately activated his spiritual vision.
In addition to the free four-color cosmic elements, there was also a mysterious substance like mist in the surrounding air.
The substance is vague and has a psychedelic yellow-brown color, giving people a dangerous and weird feeling.
"This is..." Jilan raised his arm and stretched out his fingers to try to touch. However, the yellow-brown mist seemed to be alive, avoiding his fingers on its own.
“Miasma?!”
A flash of understanding flashed in Jilan's eyes.
From the beginning of his journey, he knew that the air in this other world was filled with miasma. Ordinary people who do not rely on shelter, perfume, soap, and mystical clothing will be infected by the miasma and become sick and crazy.
But it was not until this moment that he observed the vague existence of miasma with his own eyes for the first time.
‘There is even a little miasma flowing in the room...’
Gilan looked around, frowning.
He looked out the window again and found that the miasma outside was even stronger, as if the entire city was shrouded in a vast yellow-brown fog.
'What happened to cause the miasma to become more intense...'
In the past, the miasma was invisible and intangible, and could not be detected even with spiritual vision, but now it can See vague outlines.
It can be seen that the concentration of miasma has inexplicably increased!
Jilan looked away.
He dressed neatly and left the apartment with his gray cane. After going downstairs and getting on the "public car" parked aside, we drove straight to the Triumph Building in the central area.
On the way, he saw conflicts and bloodshed on both sides of the street more than once. From simple quarrels, to pushing each other, to using sharp weapons, and even group fights involving a few people or more than a dozen people.
The elegant people in the capital in the past suddenly became violent under the influence of miasma, and would take action if they disagreed.
Police station carriages can be seen everywhere. Either while driving or parked on the side of the road. Police officers in blue and gray uniforms tried their best to mediate and maintain order... but often even the police officers could not control their emotions and drew their guns to shoot people.
Listening to the sporadic gunshots outside the car window, Gillan grabbed the steering wheel with a solemn expression.
‘It seems like something big happened...’
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
When he struggled through the increasingly crowded and chaotic streets and arrived at the Triumph Building, he was shocked to find that the place was surrounded by the army.
Behind the temporary wire guardrail and sandbag roadblock, there were many soldiers with live ammunition standing.
They stood ready and alert to their surroundings.
A group of soldiers, led by two lieutenant-level officers, intercepted Gilan's car.
"Team Leader Gilan Iros, due to emergencies, we, at the request of the superior department, will strictly control the central area..."
The middle-aged captain headed by him held the Gun, gave an imperial cross salute to Gilan, and then explained seriously.
Gilan showed his identification and got out of the car without embarrassing these people.
"Do you know what happened?"
He slammed the car door and asked the two lieutenants in a deep voice. The latter two shook their heads, and the middle-aged captain who spoke earlier replied:
"I don't know. We just received the order at the first opportunity and forced the soldiers to inject high-concentration 'anti-miasma medicine' , even if it is arranged here."
"Yes." Ji Lan nodded. "Thank you."
He said no more, just frowned, walked forward with his gray cane, and walked straight towards the Triumph Building.
'It seems that after the accident occurred, the empire took emergency measures immediately...it must have discovered the root cause of the problem, which was the sudden intensification of the "miasma". ’
Jilan thought to himself as he entered the building.
There were people coming and going in a hurry. The faces of the staff were quite anxious, and there was even a trace of panic between their brows.
It can be seen that the severity of this incident far exceeded official expectations.
Gilan passed through the crowd, took the elevator up to the 70th floor, and went directly to the investigation committee hall.
He found that almost all the committee members in the capital were here, and there were no less than a hundred people at a glance. Gravediggers including Raynor, Mgul, Garnold, Kaya and Maiev were all present.
Seeing Jilan approaching, Maiev quickly stepped forward to greet her.
"Mr. Gillan, you are finally here. Chairman Pala has just issued an order and plans to send someone to notify you to come and gather for a meeting."
Mavi lowered her voice and was serious. said.
"Something big happened...'Miasma' suddenly broke out, and the concentration increased sharply. Many ordinary people were infected, became seriously ill, and even went crazy."
"The entire Muse City is in chaos!"
"Is the scope of the 'miasma' outbreak limited to the capital? Or is it like this throughout the empire?"
Gilan thought After thinking about it, he asked in a deep voice.
Maiev sighed heavily, shook his head and said:
“According to the latest information, not only the capital, but also not limited to the empire... there are also riots in other countries. Death rates increased dramatically."
"This is a world-wide disaster!"
"Chairman Parra said that the harm of this incident is countless times more terrible than the great plague and famine in the Middle Ages... If it cannot be dealt with in time, Then the entire world's population will shrink by 70% to 80%."
"All countries and civilizations, including the Bremen Empire, will completely collapse as a result..."
"So serious?!"
Jilan's pupils shrank.
But then he thought about it, if the sky fell and there was still a tall man holding it up, no matter how anxious he was, it would have no effect.
The operation of all things in the world depends on the law of truth of the Twelve Sichen. Even if the "miasma disaster" this time was not caused by the superiors, it was definitely inseparable from it.
Pap, tap...
At this time, a burst of footsteps came.
The committee members in the hall turned around and saw an old gentleman with white hair walking, followed by several high-ranking officials, politicians and committee leaders.
"Mr. Chairman."
Everyone said hello quickly.
Pala waved her hands, walked to the high platform of the hall with a serious face, and said straight to the point:
"You must have seen this emergency. The miasma concentration suddenly intensified. Higher than any period in the past!"
He sighed and drew a coordinate chart with white chalk on the blackboard in the hall. The X-axis was the age and the Y-axis was the miasma concentration.
A "V" shaped curve was drawn out by Parra.
“According to relevant data, the concentration of miasma in the Middle Ages was only 1.8'Pa'. By the 19th century, it slowly dropped to 1.2'Pa', and even dropped in recent decades of the 20th century. It's below 1'pa'..."
Pala said slowly.
“In addition, miasma prevention knowledge such as ‘perfume doctrine’, ‘cleanliness theory’ and ‘dressing method’ has also been popularized among the people, and miasma has gradually evolved from a natural disaster that was originally smelled into An extremely common thing. "
"We all thought that 'miasma' was like the countless diseases that had been defeated in the past years, and had become the 'defeat' of mankind..."
"But in the early hours of last night, the concentration of the miasma suddenly intensified. After multiple tests, it reached an astonishing 3.6 Pa... and the concentration is still growing!"
"I don’t know how many people are here. He fell ill and went crazy during the miasma disaster and even lost his life..."
"The empire is facing an unprecedented challenge!"
"The situation is very urgent!"
Pa With a wave of their hands, several clerks held confidential documents and distributed them to every committee member present.
"As members of the Bremen Empire's Mysterious Investigation Committee, you need to mobilize immediately, perform your respective tasks, and try your best to prevent this disaster!"
"Yes! Chairman!"
Everyone held the documents in their hands and responded solemnly.
Gilan raised his hand and looked at it. The document detailed the task he needed to perform -
Escorting a batch of specially prepared high-concentration "anti-miasma medicine" to the "North Muse" Ruiteyin Water Plant", supervising internal staff to mix anti-miasma medicine into daily water.
'Treating the symptoms but not the root cause...'
Jilan sighed inwardly.
There are millions of people living in Muse City, and the "Ritein Water Plant" provides daily water for hundreds of thousands of residents in North Muse. After these anti-miasma medicines are diluted, their effectiveness is unknown.
And such investment is also huge, and the empire cannot be maintained for a long time.
But Gilan also knew that this was a stopgap measure.
Chairman Parra intends to use this to stabilize the situation in the capital and gain more time to think about countermeasures.
Otherwise, if this continues, I don’t know how many people will die in the empire, and what kind of chaotic scenes will occur, and the overall order will be seriously affected...
