Chapter 344: Disappearing Authority
"What the hell are you?!"
Pastor Hong, who was pulled out of nothingness by Levi, no longer had the previous arrogance and mockery in his eyes, and there was only an unspeakable fear!
He had never seen such a person, such an existence, in this world.
Based on his perception of living things, Priest Hong was certain that Levi was absolutely dead without leaving even a trace in that void just now!
No one can survive in that situation, no matter who it is!
So Levi is indeed dead, but if he is dead, then who is this man who is intact and has pulled himself out of there with one hand?
There was no other thought in Pastor Hong's mind except this one question.
And the only person who could answer this question gave such an understated answer.
“I’m a player.”
As Levi spoke, he tore off a piece of cloth, tore it into strips, and then wrapped it around the palm of his right hand like a bandage.
"Player?"
Pastor Hong repeated the term blankly.
It was obviously such a simple meaning, but he couldn't figure out what Levi meant in the current context no matter what.
"Yes, I am a player, and you are the villain NPC who is destined to be killed by players and turned into upgrade consumables."
After he finished speaking, Levi didn't give Pastor Hong any time to think. He directly inserted the hand wrapped in a simple bandage straight into the skull on top of the broken body!
When Levi's palm touched the sticky and soft substance, Pastor Hong's body suddenly trembled violently, and then his eyes became completely dull, without any trace of human emotion!
Levi's current means of mind control have not yet reached the level that can control the Chosen One, but if he wants to dig some memories out of Pastor Hong's mind, he does not need to control him completely.
As long as a part of your limbs touches the core of his brain where memories are stored, all the information will be revealed without reservation.
Soon, the latest movements of all Green Day members and the location of the only piece of rule fragment controlled by Green Day were no longer a secret to Levi.
The piece of rule fragment that was traded away from the Stuart family has been in the hands of Green Day, the organization's top decision-maker, since it was obtained by Green Day.
As for Green, he stayed in the northernmost city developed by mankind, the Arctic, all year round. Even when so many people from Green Day went to the central area to cause trouble, he never moved.
The North Pole is also one of the bases operated by Green Sun in the Western Region. Many core members stay there all year round. Now according to the information known by Pastor Red, not only their leader Green, but also the two chosen ones Blue and Purple are also there.
The other blue, yellow, orange and red, which is now in Levi's hands, are all outside making preparations for what's next.
Originally, Hong was in another city and had become the guest of the Duke of that city. The two of them had basically discussed the plan about joining Green Day in the future. Then, he received news from Green in the Arctic that the parrot Hong had died.
So, the nearest priest Hong was sent over to check out what was going on.
People died in New Lan, so of course Archduke Stuart, who is in charge here, must give an explanation, and of course the culprit must be found and made to pay the price.
Hence, we have the current situation.
After understanding these things, Levi did not hesitate. He exerted a little force with the hand inserted into the priest's red brain, and the head of this chosen creature exploded completely like a watermelon with a firecracker stuffed in the middle.
At the same time, in the player information, a brand new ultimate skill point and 100 free attribute points have arrived.
Levi didn't hesitate. After allocating the attribute points according to his usual habits, he directly added the ultimate skill point to mind control, a biological skill.
The next moment, he could noticeably feel the changes in his physical fitness!
The skill points themselves have already undergone a significant enhancement, and now with the biological blessing of the chosen level, Levi can clearly feel that if the priest's red is brought back to life, the two of them can fight again.
Even if he used the fierce method, it would take less than five minutes to get the result.
Whether in terms of physical fitness or control of the rules, he won completely.
But a one-on-one victory is obviously not safe.
Levi untied the bandage on his hand that was covered with white sticky substance, while thinking about what to do next.
Including the gravity authority which still has a term of three months, he now possesses three heavenly powers. There will be no accidents if he faces any one of them alone.
But when there are too many people, it is still a bit unstable.
Levi knows very well when to take risks and when to be steady.
If he wants to take the fragments of rules out of Green Day's lair, he can at least get the fourth authority, and that's when he can really have fun.
At this time, it’s time to choose a lucky person!
With the information in Pastor Red's mind, he identified the target with almost no hesitation.
Among the four chosen ones that Green Day went out with, one person's mission was different from the others.
Qing is Levi's old acquaintance, the parrot keeper who sneaked into the academy under the alias Chi Qing.
He was carrying out a task assigned to him by Green in an abandoned city on the western edge of the Western Region that had accidentally expanded to the seabed during development.
That city is not too far from Xinlan. It takes about a week to get there by train. However, there is no trunk line leading to this city in the Western Region. If you want to go there, you must charter a train and go there specifically.
And this is not a difficult task for Levi at all.
After making some simple repairs on the spot, he walked out of the huge pit that occupied half of the city of Xinlan.
Without using any means of transportation, he flew directly from the sky. In just a dozen seconds, he crossed hundreds of kilometers and arrived at the urban area of Xinlan.
At this time, the southeastern part of the city had completely become a restricted area for life, including a small part of the urban area, which had also suffered destruction.
But because Sherlock had transferred everyone in advance, and Levi had intentionally set the center of the battle close to the barrier, there were not many casualties. Those who died were basically those who had businesses in the eastern part of the city and were unwilling to leave.
Levi found Sherlock and handed over the control of the entire city to him, and also let him handle some of the aftermath work.
He only took a train, ready to find his next prey as soon as possible.
At the same time, in the dilapidated monastery in the Arctic, there was an uproar!
"The biometal signal left on Hong's body has also disappeared!"
In the dilapidated monastery, a group of adopted orphans were playing in the activity area outside.
The weather in the Arctic is not controlled by any meteorological bureau, and even the chosen ones in the atmosphere system have no way to control it. It has always been in an intermediate state between having rules and nothingness, making it impossible for people to start.
Blue, a short, young man with messy hair, punched the table in the monastery. The loud noise scared the children playing outside. They leaned over and carefully observed the three adults sitting on the bench in the auditorium. Except for the green adult, the other two had very bad expressions.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, the nanny hurried over. She gathered all the children who were out playing together and dragged them away from the activity area to prevent them from disturbing the gentlemen's important events.
Green was still the same, sitting quietly in the main seat. Even though he heard Blue's roar, there was no emotion in his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
The other Zi who stayed in the Arctic was a woman wearing a long skirt and had long straight black hair. She looked quite quiet and gentle.
After hearing Lan's words, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, but her hands did not stop moving. She distributed the teacups on the table and then made tea.
"That stupid parrot died, so what? Why would Red die there too? He is the most resilient among us! Who can kill him?"
Lan's voice was extremely irritable, and it was obvious that he and Pastor Hong usually had a good relationship.
"It's only been 10 days since you sent him the message to go to Xinlan! 10 days is enough for him to just arrive at that city, which means he was intercepted and killed as soon as he got off the train! This is definitely not something that one or two chosen ones can do! There must be a conspiracy!"
"If this is a conspiracy, then the death of the former Red can only be a conspiracy."
Green's voice was calm, without any of Blue's impetuousness, as if he had just heard a trivial matter.
"Is it the group of dukes who united together? Did they take action in advance? The Stuart family finally chose them. These people united together, killed the former Hong first, and then used her as bait to lure the current Hong over, and then ambushed him together?"
Zi's voice is as gentle as her appearance, just like the older sister next door, which makes people subconsciously like her as soon as they hear her.
Green just shook his head. No one knew what he was thinking. He didn't answer these questions, but just looked at Blue and said.
"There is something I need you to do to find Orange, you two can do it together."
Lan's temper became more and more violent.
"You clearly know we don't get along!"
"He is more stable than you, and you also need to be more thoughtful than him. Whether you are compatible or not, you must go together this time."
Hearing his words, Lan sneered, but still said.
"What do you want me to do with him?"
"After you meet up with him, go to the territories of those dukes."
Lan's face couldn't help but froze, then became extremely ugly, and he even stood up from the chair on the spot!
"What do you mean? You want me to die with him!"
Green just silently took out a pendant that looked like a coin but could rotate in the middle from the pocket of his robe and handed it to Blue.
"Show them this and tell them I can, as their representative, give them the promises they want."
When seeing the patterns on both sides of the pendant, Lan was stunned for a moment. After two or three seconds, he came back to his senses. He met Green's affirmative eyes and finally took the thing in his hand with a complicated expression.
Just as he turned around with the pendant and was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and looked at Midori again, as if he wanted to confirm something, but in the end he seemed to feel that the matter was no longer important and strode away.
Only purple and green remained in the auditorium.
The sadness on the gentle woman's face not only did not dissipate, but her brows became even more furrowed.
"Why should we abandon our previous plan now? Shouldn't all these old things be cleared out together?"
Green was silent for a long time, and after a long time he finally answered.
"Lan has a bad temper and some things are not suitable to be told to him. He knows this himself, so he wanted to ask just now, but didn't. But in fact, if he asked, I would not hide it from him, just like if you asked, I would not hide it from you."
"One thing went terribly wrong."
Purple stared at him.
"Red's death?"
"From the moment you choose to join Green Day and become one of our brothers and sisters, it's not going to be a surprise no matter who dies."
Green's gaze became particularly deep, and those dark pupils were like an abyss that made it impossible to see what was underneath.
"Hong is dead, and the Duke of Stuart is also dead. More importantly, the authority and rules that the two of them held have all disappeared."
Such words made Zi a little stunned.
"Disappeared?"
Green nodded.
"Yes, those two powers were not inherited by anyone, nor did they remain in the blood of the two people. Instead, they disappeared from this world."
"Then, if that's the case, who is maintaining these two rules in each city now? Without the corresponding Heavenly Chosen Authority, these two rules should disappear as well!"
"I don't know." Green's answer was very direct. He lowered his eyes. "It is precisely because of this that the problem is so serious. The person who killed Duke Stuart and Red was not the alliance formed by those dukes, but another person or force."
"This method of directly erasing authority is the most disturbing. The fact that Hong was killed so quickly means that the person who did it has the means to absolutely threaten the Chosen One. No matter what he wants to do, we are all unsafe."
"If the original plan is to be carried out and that person continues to erase the authority of the Chosen One, the trouble facing the world will undoubtedly be even greater."
"So, some things can't go according to the previously planned route."
After saying this, Lu stood up from his seat.
"I have to go back one of these days. This kind of thing needs to be made known to those people in the tower."
