Chapter 20 Aoki’s Raid

After Lu Buer returned to the stone house, he leaned against the door in a daze and murmured in his heart: "In a political and religious alliance like the Supreme Federation, the church generally does not interfere in secular affairs. However, once the church wants to forcefully interfere, then It must be something otherworldly."

Such as those pagans.

Like the heart that disappeared in his palm.

In the past few days, he had read a lot of relevant legal documents, and he also had an understanding of the legal system of the Supreme Federation. He also knew how much trouble he was involved in.

The quilt on the bed was lifted up, and Lu Sixian raised her head, her delicate face a porcelain white in the dim light of the night: "Is my brother under investigation by the Heresy Judgment?"

Apparently she hadn't slept the whole time.

Lu Buer replied absentmindedly: "Yeah, I asked some questions, mostly about the place of death. In fact, I don't even know what that place is for."

Lu Sixian replied seriously: "The place of death is a restricted area of ​​life, an area no longer suitable for human beings to set foot on. After the disaster five hundred years ago, with the birth of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, an additional name appeared on the earth. There is something called dark matter, which can contaminate any form of life and reshape it, which is where the White Walkers come from."

Lu Fuji was surprised: "You actually know?"

Lu Sixian replied seriously: "I have studied systematically."

Lu Buer became interested, pulled up a chair and sat over: "Continue talking."

"Usually people think that the White Walkers are the deformations of some life forms. In fact, this is not an accurate statement. Because it is not them that mutate, but the dark matter in their bodies. The dark matter has the characteristics of self-evolution, so Only White Walkers have different levels."

Lu Sixian tilted her head and replied: "A very few white ghosts are also aggressive to the same kind under special circumstances. They can swallow the dark matter in the bodies of the same kind and complete their self-evolution. In the end, they evolve into very terrifying things. Some It can even destroy a city, ugh."

In the weak candlelight, she raised her hands and clenched them into claws, making a fierce expression.

Of course, this is not intended to be cute, but for a more vivid expression.

Although it does look silly.

Especially with her expressionless face.

Lu Fuji thought of the particularly large White Walker he had killed.

Maybe it falls into this category.

"So why are they asking me if I've seen the mountain?"

Lu Buer was puzzled.

Lu Sixian thought for a while: "Maybe they want to ask about the Holy Mountain."

"Holy Mountain?"

"In the year 198 of the Holy Calendar, before the third-generation holy monarch Constantine was crowned, he was a wanderer outside the city-state. Until one day, he and his team of scavengers found a treasure map from before the disaster. Following the guidance on the map, I embarked on a journey to seek miracles. Under the leadership of a unicorn, I passed through the endless fog, passed through various places of death, and finally saw a mountain hidden in a special dimension. Inheriting the legacy of the mythical age.”

"It sounds like a fairy tale, but it is indeed logical. Because the tree of life that humans found in the North Pole was only the most important part of the legacy of the gods. No one knows where the civilization of that era of gods came from, but its There are more than just these ruins. After Constantine walked out of the Holy Mountain, he received powerful power given by God and created a new era."

"After Constantine was crowned the Holy Monarch, he canonized his companions as the Lords of Shengen City, thereby establishing the Holy Family, the Russell Family. Since being canonized, the Russell Family has been tasked with guarding the secrets of the Holy Mountain, even if Now their family has declined.”

"Until the third generation of the Holy Monarch Constantine died of madness in his later years, the secrets of the Holy Mountain were never revealed to the world. However, in the past seventy years, unknown changes have occurred repeatedly in the Holy Mountain. The Russell family stationed in Shengen City, We have sent teams many times to investigate and eliminate the anomalies.”

Lu Sixian was like a machine reciting what she knew, without any emotional fluctuations from beginning to end. Even the primary school students read the text with more emotion than her.

"Wait a minute, what is the Holy Monarch?"

"You can understand it as the supreme glory that is above secularity and religion, second only to the throne of God."

Lu Buer was surprised: "Is this what your superiors asked you to learn?"

He always felt that things of this level were definitely not accessible to low-energy people.

Even he may not be of sufficient level.

"Can not remember."

Lu Sixian tilted her head and thought: "Anyway, I can think of these things."

Lu Fuji thought of the warnings on her information and always felt that this little girl might have an unusual origin.

"The changes in the Holy Mountain are unknown, so how do they know how to clear them?"

He suddenly thought of another question.

Lu Sixian shook his head: "The mutation of the Holy Mountain is unknown, but the principle of the mutation is certain. Because according to the information left by the third-generation holy monarch Constantine, the Holy Mountain is a place full of dark matter. The holy mountain...is probably like this."

Her eyes became focused, she tore off a roll of toilet paper and scribbled on it with a pen.

Lu Fuji found that her eyes became hollow while she was painting. Her pupils were already white, which made her look a bit weird, even faintly ferocious.

The painting was very abstract. The legendary holy mountain looked like a devil's sharp horn reaching into the sky, but the mountain was flowing with a dark and sticky substance, like graphite and like burning embers.

Lu Fuji's scalp went numb after just one glance. This was the so-called dark matter, exactly the same as the thing in his palm!
  His right hand trembled slightly.

No wonder Lu Sixian lowered her head to smell his palm before, claiming that she smelled the scent of the White Walkers. It turned out that she was not talking nonsense.

Damn it.

Lu Fuji finally knew what was going on with the changes in his palms, but this was likely to bring him great danger.

"Who exactly are you?"

Lu Sixian did not answer his question. Her eyes became dull and empty, and she looked sleepy and tired.

It's as if my IQ has been wiped clean.

It seemed that just painting that painting had consumed all her energy.

Lu Fuji realized that things were not simple. If she was just an ordinary low-energy species, it would be impossible for her to have access to the knowledge about the holy mountain, let alone draw the appearance of that mountain.

To be on the safe side, it would be best to strangle her to death.

But Lu Fuji couldn't do such a thing.

This little girl looks quite pitiful, just like herself before.

If there is a chance, we still have to find out who she is.

Otherwise, I always feel uneasy.

"Lu Sixian?"

"elder brother."

"Are you tired?"

"Ah."

"Then go to bed."       "Where's my brother?"

"I'm going to bed too."

"Oh, be safe..."

"Be careful? Did you plant a bomb under my bed?"

"No bombs."

"Why don't you go to bed yet?"

"forgotten……"

Lu Sixian answered obviously perfunctorily, as stupidly as a child with cerebral palsy. She turned over and rolled off the bed, her skirt turned up, revealing her snow-white skin.

Lu Fuji had no choice but to carry her to bed. She was as light as a kitten.

I hope she can return to normal after sleeping, otherwise his mentality will collapse.

However, at this moment, there was a bang in the room next door.

Lu Buer was surprised: "Did that guy He Sai drive?"

Unexpectedly, there was another heavy collision sound, as if a fist hit the flesh.

The door was knocked open, and there was a painful groan.

Lu Fuji realized something had happened and hurriedly opened the door and took a look.

Under the torch outside the stone house, Jose curled up on the ground in pain, clutching his lower abdomen and inhaling in pain, unable to speak.

"Yo."

The man stepped on his shoulder, turned around and said, "We meet again."

In the darkness, the man raised his head, revealing a familiar and cold face.

Aoki!

Lu Fuji's first reaction was that he had been exposed for lying, but he immediately discovered that things did not seem to be what he thought, because the other party returned alone.

Most likely, he wanted to catch him by surprise.

This kind of behavior most likely does not represent the Heretic Tribunal.

"What do you want to do?"

He said expressionlessly: "Let go of He Sai."

Aoki stepped down hard, and the huge force made He Sai cry out in pain.

"Okay, give me what you took."

Aoki licked his lips and said hoarsely: "Officer An and the boss named Zhang have already confessed that what I want is in your hands. I know you may have forgotten where that thing came from, but You should know that it does not belong to you."

His expression became ferocious, and he said every word: "Take it out."

Huge fear exploded in his mind, and Lu Fuji's thoughts were like a violent storm.

Aoki's words completely awakened him.

It turns out that he was right to be cautious.

Aoki has no memory of losing the place of his past life at all.

If Lu Fuji confessed today that he still retained the memories about the pagans, he would most likely be targeted by him, and he would never end well.

Whether Longque will protect him is unknown.

And behind Aoki, there is a high probability that there are other forces.

Lu Fuji guessed that what they wanted was the heart pendant.

It's a pity that he can no longer hand it over.

Cold murderous intent rushed towards him, and he repeatedly warned himself to calm down.

Qingmu said that Officer An and Boss Zhang had already recruited them, and they were most likely scamming him.

This is a little trick of the Prisoner's Dilemma.

Neither Officer An nor Boss Zhang knew that the thing was in his hands, so they couldn't explain it at all.

Unless there was nothing he could do after being tortured, so the blame was passed to him.

Aoki probably thought that the four of them were a group, so he deliberately used clichés.

In other words, there is a high probability that Aoki doesn’t know who has the item.

Not even knowing that he had recovered his memory.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Lu Fuji said calmly: "I didn't take anything from you."

Aoki sighed softly, then suddenly twisted his waist and struck him with a sharp leg sweep!

boom!
  This kick smashed the wooden stake next to it, and Lu Fuji dodged sideways at the critical moment.

The howling wind lifted his forehead, exposing his tiny pupils.

"Ok?"

Aoki was obviously a little surprised, and his continuous leg sweeps were like a strong wind!

Bang bang bang!
  Faced with this kind of attack, Lu Fuji calmly blocked it with his crossed hands. The instinct of fighting had been ingrained in his mind. He skillfully raised his elbows and raised his arms like a seasoned fighter, and blocked the attack without any hesitation. The opponent's last kick.

With a bang, his center of gravity sank, and he bent his knees to relieve the force that fell from the sky.

Aoki's eyes changed: "Interesting."
