"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, what are you talking about???"
Now it was Nianlun's turn to panic.
Alvin's tone was a little too frivolous, which was too abnormal and frightened her.
"Nothing, I just felt the need to apologize to you guys."
The girl turned her back to her.
"After all, you have invested so much in me."
"it's a pity."
"It's so hard to have... such a young queen."
Chapter 164 Final preparations
"Go ahead." Returning to the main hall, Hitzfeld sat calmly on the upper throne and looked at the people whose bodies were pierced by tentacles. "Where is your master, and what does he want to do?"
There were four survivors in total, two of whom were surviving demons - that is, the forces within the Church of the Mother of Savior other than the nuns' faction, and should be the most direct believers of the evil god; the other two had most of their bodies replaced with mechanical parts - they were defeated by Xia Yibing in a head-on battle, and their chests were sealed with ice knives to prevent them from self-exploding.
The two mechanical humans were undoubtedly the most stubborn. They had no intention of continuing to live, so they would not compromise at a time like this. Therefore, they just huddled there and said nothing.
As for the other two demons, they were all followers of the evil god, which showed that their beliefs and minds were distorted. Of course, they were definitely not the kind of people who were afraid of death, and they also kept their mouths shut and refused to speak.
"In fact, even if you didn't tell me, I could have guessed it." Hitzfeld frowned in his heart but didn't show it on his face. He crossed one leg and put his hand on it, saying lightly: "He wants to discover the mystery of the blood source through the experiments conducted by Luca, and then spread his research results to the entire Elsa continent through the Church of the Mother of Savior, and become the new Lord God shrouding this land, or the new gray fog."
She knew too little about Yinsel's intelligence, and it was indeed just guesswork based on those videotapes. But the legacy left by Coldis was extraordinary, and it helped her recognize the nature of the enemy very early - she saw that these people were looking at her with surprise.
"So, you saw what was in the bell tower..." The middle-aged centipede who faced her the most struggled to say, "That's why we were called together for emergency action, because it's a huge hidden danger. I didn't expect you to even crack the secret room..."
As one of the people who was seriously injured and had many deaths in the initial collision with Hitzfeld, no one at the scene knew better than her how terrifying this girl with gray eyelashes was when fighting.
He suffered the most damage both physically and mentally, so he was relatively more likely to speak up than others.
"You all know about Luca's research." Hitzfeld's eyes swept back and forth across their faces. "This has been a long-lasting research, right? He has been helping Ves-Nian collect the flesh and blood and even organs of various large clans, and even unpopular families, and cultivate them using forbidden methods, and extract blood species from them... These things may be enough to fool the locals, but do you think they can fool me?"
“So what if I can’t deceive you?” said the cyborg with only his chest left. “You know much more than these natives, so it’s normal for you to analyze things to this extent. But don’t even think about getting any information from us. We won’t tell you.”
Xia Yibing and Gu Laotou had been standing on both sides of the seats since the beginning. The former couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard him say this: "Yinsel doesn't take you seriously at all... Haven't you realized yet? You are just consumables that he casually threw here!"
"We are consumables." The cyborg turned his gaze to her. "We know very well that we are consumables. We understand and are willing to do so... This road must have sacrifices. Since he gave us a new life, we should repay him with our death."
These psychopaths talk in a set way, and it sounds like they are performing an opera...
Xia Yibing frowned. She really had a headache interrogating evildoers. Such people were usually determined and crazy. Ordinary torture methods were no longer effective on them.
Otherwise, how could so many potions that can force people to speak or dream be developed... Various powerful potions with side effects were originally used to dig out information from the mouths of evildoers.
Looking at Hitzfeld again and again, Xia Yibing felt that talking nonsense was a waste of time.
Didn’t she use local herbs to make a powerful developer or something like that?
I seem to have used that thing to enter the dream of the big monster in the temple before, so I might as well take out some of it and use it.
But Hitzfeld might have other considerations. She pretended not to notice Xia Yibing's eye hint at her and turned her gaze back to the middle-aged centipede.
This man looked like he was about to die.
A huge spear composed of a dozen tiny tentacles pierced his chest and abdomen from behind. His centipede body, which was more than ten meters long, was entangled like a coiled snake and was imprisoned by more tiny tentacles. The flesh and blood of the two were gradually assimilated.
The Blood Temple has awakened. It is not picky about food and will eat anything that is made of flesh and blood. But no matter what, it is also a practitioner of the mysterious path. These people have the same power in their bodies, and it enjoys eating them particularly well.
If Hitzfeld hadn't allowed it, it would have sucked the two demons to pieces.
They are all "mysterious disciples", which means they are my subordinates in the network. So can I use this channel to get him to talk?
Anyway, there were two copies of each "consumable", so Hitzfeld didn't feel bad. The spirit in his brain instantly spread out, using the tentacles of the Blood Temple as a medium, and forcibly poured into the middle-aged man's flesh and blood.
I keep doing this kind of trick... I think I can create a new genre called "Spiritual Seance".
“Eh? Oooohhhhhh—”
The middle-aged man was already immersed in agony and torture but he was gritting his teeth to persevere. The infusion of external spirits was like countless needles poking his brain, causing him a severe headache and he couldn't help but screaming in agony.
This was a neuralgia that spread from the deepest part of the brain all the way down the spine. It was not enough to resist it with willpower, especially since his spine was so long due to deformation... Hitzfeld also took some effort to complete the "soul summoning".
It looks a bit similar to "Eternal Life with Divine Blood", but it has much greater limitations. If she didn't have these tentacles of the Temple that were combined with the other party, and if the Temple didn't listen to her 100%, she wouldn't be able to do this.
"Okay..." The girl breathed a sigh of relief and vaguely gained another hazy perspective, "Tell me what you know."
The other party doesn't have her flesh and blood in his body, so it's different from controlling Black Owl.
She controlled the Blood Temple remotely, and let the Blood Temple remotely control this person, so the control was not that strong. She could only partially control the other person's mind and body to make him cooperate.
"I don't know where the master is. I only know that he hasn't shown up for a long time..."
The middle-aged man really spoke, his expression looking a little dull: "I don't know what the master wants to do, but he said that everything he did was for salvation, to lead all of us out of the abyss..."
"Shut up!"
"What did you do to him?"
The mechanical apostle who spoke like an opera singer was stunned for a moment, and turned to glare at Hitzfeld.
"You witch! How do you have such power??"
Hitzfeld waved his hand lightly, and the flesh tentacles inserted into the opera man's body suddenly separated with force, tearing his chest apart in an instant, breaking it into a pile of flesh and mechanical parts.
The bloody scene was secondary, but the decisiveness... the understatement like "You are useless now" made even Xia Yibing's eyes twitch.
My little angel seems to be a little different...
Of course you don't need to be polite to evil people... Oh, by the way, I've always been worried that something might happen to her in this regard because she's always too gentle... I should be happy now.
But Xia Yibing still couldn't be happy, because she started to think about why Aisuen had such a change, and the reason was naturally related to Lengdis.
She had definitely killed him.
She must have hatred in her heart.
To Yinsel, and even more to these iron lumps who were trying to deceive her by using the residual influence of Lengdis.
Hitzfeld didn't know that Xia Yibing's watching her kill someone could lead to such a rich cause-and-effect plot. She turned to look at another apostle, "You won't say anything either?"
Although they have obtained a usable survivor, the two groups are from different factions, and the Mechanical Apostles may hold more important information.
The man didn't say anything, just glanced at her and closed his eyes.
Hitzfeld wanted to tear him to pieces like he had killed the last man, but suddenly he thought of Bunoliel... He seemed to be very knowledgeable about mechanical modification.
She changed the question: "Is the old man from the Posuo family also in the same group with you?"
This question was too obvious and unimportant, so the apostle hesitated and said to her, "Of course... Didn't you come here because he sent you a message?"
Hitzfeld shook his head and waved his hands. He was immediately wrapped by more tentacles and was wrapped into a huge tumor amid whimpering and struggling.
He still wants to deceive and induce me at a time like this... There is not a single truth in his mouth. I'd better let him go for now and let him try to modify it after I control Bunoliel.
Turn your attention back to the middle-aged centipede and then officially enter the interrogation phase.
"You mean Yin Seul hasn't appeared for a long time."
"Yes."
"How long is a long time?"
"At least twenty years."
"What do you think he did?"
"I don't know..."
"What do you think—what do you think he's going to do?"
"I have no idea……"
"It seems like too much of his brain has been eaten... Forget it, let me ask it another way: Do you think he might be hiding in Oujin City?"
"impossible."
"What's the reason?"
"We all came from Oujin City. Oujin City was completely taken over and controlled by that bastard. If the master was in Oujin City, she wouldn't be so arrogant."
"Bitch you mean Ves-Nyan?"
"Yes."
This is good news.
Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing looked at each other, joy and excitement appearing on their faces.
Obviously, the body can only do this if it is given enough autonomy.
This indirectly shows that Alwin is not too restricted in that body, and it is possible that Yinsel's control over her is gradually fading, which gives them hope of saving people.
"Is it possible that he is overseas?" Hitzfeld continued to ask.
"I have no idea……"
"Is it possible that he is in the Knight's Tomb?"
"I have no idea……"
"How many divine corpses does he have in his hands?"
"I...I saw a thick meat pole..."
"'Mother of Nursing.'" Xia Yibing curled her lips.
To some extent, the arsenal is the most difficult evil god corpse to deal with, because it can provide a steady supply of troops. Maybe those tumorous nuns and these demons were made of that thing.
"Will he be in Sara?" Hitzfeld asked more and more critically, "Are he and the Undead Fleet still in this world?"
"I……"
An expression of struggle, pain, and torment appeared on the middle-aged centipede's face.
Just when they thought there might be some major progress, his head exploded with a "bang".
"..."
"..."
Hitzfeld's curiosity was not satisfied, so he turned to look at the only remaining demon.
"I said!"
"Don't do that to me! I said it myself!"
The demon was extremely scared. It was true that he was a fanatic, but the fate of his companion was too miserable - that was a power that directly overrides the spiritual will. He vaguely felt that the other party was the source of the road and the master of the road. His loyalty to faith was rapidly collapsing.
Ten minutes later, as his brain also exploded into pieces, Hitzfeld confirmed at least one thing, that is, Yinsel seemed to have tampered with them, involving the most crucial secret - his position would trigger the "brain explosion" self-destruct program.
It's a very mechanical method, which makes people want to kill him even more.
"Let's summarize?" Hitzfeld looked at Xia Yibing, "What should we do next?"
She had already considered how to act. But no matter what, their relationship was equal, and now there was an "outsider" like Gu, so she had to give Xia Yibing some face and handed over the power to make the decision to her.
Xia Yibing didn't understand the twists and turns at all, but that didn't stop her from feeling happy for no reason. She pondered for a moment under the old man's gaze and said, "I think we should get on Oujin as soon as possible."
The reason why it took ten minutes to blow up the second demon's head was certainly not because of the ten-minute delay this time, but because Hitzfeld asked some other questions before that to be on the safe side.
These include the location of Oujin City, the deployment of military forces, the status of the Human King, the so-called birthday banquet, etc.
And these people have indeed been keeping an eye on Oujin City. Although they are not on good terms with Oujin City for the time being and were driven down from above in a very shameful way, they still have the means to monitor that place.
They did not fight with the Human King not because they could not defeat him, but because they thought there was no need to waste their master's power.
Yes - in their cognition, the Human King is equal to Yinsel's power, and now the power is just temporarily out of control. As long as Yinsel returns, everything that Weiss-Nian has managed over the years will be a tribute to Yinsel.
"They don't want us to have contact with the Human King." Xia Yibing affirmed, "They didn't hesitate to kill so many people for this... We must solve Ou Jin's problem before Yin Seer returns!"
"I think so too." Hitzfeld nodded. "There just happened to be a birthday party, so I'll use this as an excuse to build some connections."
They already know that the current Ou Jincheng is not the real thing.
The real thing was blown down and crashed by Yalian, and it was most likely pieced back together by Yinsel to seal the three evil eyes. The current Oujin City is just rebuilt with blood mud, but its scale and sanitary conditions are much better than the floating city of flesh and blood.
Luca had mentioned the "birthday banquet" before, which refers to the fact that the Human King would fall into a deep sleep every once in a while, but would wake up on his birthday every year. This was the grandest festival in the entire Oujin, and all the major clans would visit the Human King with blessings and gifts - nearly a third of them were not human!
They have no proper identities in the Kingdom of Corrupted Blood. Although Hitzfeld has obtained the identity of "Bishop Hashem", because this identity belongs to the church and the church and the Human King are not on good terms, it is obviously difficult for her to use this identity to bring people up.
So after a brief discussion, they decided to ask Bislo for help.
