Cataclysm King Chapter 63

  Chapter 63 The Weird Moon!

  In the car, Ji Xun sat silently in the corner.

  His "lonely" personality has been set up, and those colleagues didn't pay attention to him, and chatted on their own.

   "Boss, where is this mission going?"

   "There was a worker fight at the gunpowder factory, and more than a dozen people died. I heard that the bombing was very bad, and it was another tricky job."

   "Oh, the group of people in the trade union didn't know what medicine they took wrongly recently, and they also followed the riots and organized some parades. People are dying every day, and they don't know what they are trying to do."

"I heard that a consortium from the upper city opened a factory with a salary of nearly 4,000 a month, which is too much higher than other factories. At first, people from the gang said it was a conspiracy, and no one went. But those who tried later got it. People in other factories gradually started to make trouble because of the money. The union also put a lot of pressure on the gang.”

   "Yeah. My brother is a 'painter of the wall'. Recently, the gang has assigned tasks and assassinated several foremen who took the lead in making trouble."

   "The average worker is 4,000? Hiss. So, the wages of our corpse collectors should also increase."

  Ji Xun heard these things are not new.

  Workers have also been one of the biggest sources of recent unrest in Innocence City.

  After Cao Sihai was killed, the congressmen of the Federation also knew that it would be difficult to gnaw at the hard bone of Innocence City by relying on force alone.

  The chaebol businessmen obviously have a far-sighted vision, and their methods are much more tactful.

  They knew that once the old continent was developed extensively, Innocence City would inevitably become a throat city, so they began to seize various resources in Innocence City as soon as they came.

   With its huge financial resources, it has acquired, invested in shares, and built a large number of factories.

  The chaebols are rich and powerful. In order to squeeze out the small workshops in the city and concentrate on seizing resources in a short period of time, the wages are very high, almost two or three times the salary.

   All of a sudden, the contradictions among the people at the bottom of Innocence City changed from unanimity to external conflicts to internal conflicts.

   For example, the Nuggets Pier.

  Although it is said that the Nuggets Wharf, the only channel connecting the old continent, is controlled by gangsters, it is the bottom workers who actually do the work.

   Originally, there was no risk, and the salary was low.

   Porters are only 3000 a month.

   Now someone drives 6000, who are you with?

   It's no wonder it doesn't make trouble.

  This is conspiracy.

   Even if you know, there is nothing you can do.

   Gangs in Innocence City, can they still play with chaebols to raise wages?

   I tasted the sweetness at first, but was bit by bit.

  Now I want to stop it, but I can't.

   Playing tricks and playing the economy, people at the bottom will never be the opponents of those politicians.

  The influx of a large amount of hot money has also led to the soaring prices in Innocence City. People have to pursue higher salaries if they want to survive, and the conflict will become more and more intense.

   But this is an extraordinary world, where power rules over politics.

  Originally, the means of the merchants were not so vicious, at least not to say that some people have such long-term insights.

  But it seems that another invisible force is secretly fueling the flames. Someone deliberately guides the direction of the wind at several key nodes, and the turmoil is intensifying.

  Ji Xun felt a familiar formula from the recent turmoil.

  Like a labyrinth in a large cemetery, a few messages ruined the Cao family's road to governor.

   I haven't seen any "mastermind" from the beginning to the end.

   This turmoil is no different.

  Obviously, behind these turmoil, there is a master layout.

   If the trouble continues like this, it won't be long before the nobles don't send some lords to forcefully suppress it, and all classes in the city of innocence will conflict and split on their own.

   Ji Xun was used to this kind of method in his previous life with advanced information.

   But he also felt very good.

   Judging from the information he has learned so far, the mysterious "Old Continent" is a place where there are real legends of gods and demons.

   That is the sea of ​​stars.

  Ji Xun is full of interest in that mysterious place.

   Early development is also good.

   Not long after, the steam truck arrived at the gunpowder factory.

  The weapon fighting here has ebbed, and it is a mess, just waiting for their corpse collectors to clean up the battlefield.

   Ji Xun and the others got out of the car, and started to collect the corpse as usual.

  Originally, this was a very ordinary field mission, collecting the stumps, spraying medicine, and then packing them into the car.

  However, no one expected that a strange event would happen.

   Put it away, suddenly the surrounding light brightened.

   Not the dim light of gas lamps.

   But a bright white silver light.

  Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "Look, what is that in the sky!"

   Ji Xun was also attracted by the light, and when he looked up, he was also stunned.

  The heavenly vision.

This is

moon?

  Ji Xun stared blankly.

   At some point in the sky, there was an extra bright moon!

  How can there be a moon in the dungeon?

  He dazzled and thought he had misread.

   But if you take a closer look, the bright celestial body in the sky is not a silver hook-like moon?

  Ji Xun shrank his gaze, and was also very puzzled: "What's going on?"

  Although the space of this dungeon 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, it is most likely some kind of optical anomaly similar to projection.

"how did you make it?"

  Ji Xun observed for a while, but did not see the projected light trail.

  Looking to the naked eye, the moon is exactly the same as the real one, hanging high in the endless darkness.

   Moreover, looking at it, it seems that the moon has a magical power, which makes people feel spiritually happy.

  Ji Xun found this feeling inexplicably familiar.

"What it is?"

   "I don't know, is it a new lighting device made by the Uptown Laboratory?"

   "Hey, don't tell me, it's pretty pretty."

  Dungeonites have never seen the moon, and no one knows what that means.

   Pointing at the luminous object in the sky one by one.

  Ji Xun always felt that something was wrong, and vaguely felt that something big was about to happen.

  However, just for a moment of contemplation, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted in his heart: "That's how it feels!"

  He finally realized that the sense of familiarity just now was just for nothing.

  In the secret room in the maze of the Great Cemetery, he looked at the engraving of the "" symbol on the ceiling.

  That was the feeling at the time!

   Exactly the same!

  Suddenly, Ji Xun immediately understood, and he had already determined the direction in his heart: "The moon in the sky was made by the group of old **** believers behind the cellar on Tailor Street!"

   And almost as long as he looked at this moment, a thought-provoking revelation emerged: "You are exempted from a slight pollution of belief."

   "This pollutes faith!"

   Thinking of something, even Ji Xun's current state of mind looked at this method and was amazed: "What a big hand."

He squinted at the moon in the sky, his eyes gradually became colder, and he murmured to himself: "Are those guys from the old sect playing such a big game? It's okay to hide in the dark on weekdays. This appearance, let's do it directly!" The moon pollutes faith, is this to pollute the entire city of innocence?"

   These guys are playing so blatantly, is this going to make a big splash?

   It turns out that not only the chaebols are bustling, but the believers of the ancient gods are also bustling in the shadows.

  The hint of enlightenment is already obvious.

   This moon is not just beautiful.

   but a source of pollution.

   The source of the catastrophe that pollutes beliefs!

  If there is no [JOKER] Deceitful Exemption Faith Tampering entry, maybe Ji Xun himself has been tricked, and he will not be able to detect it at all.

  At this moment, he also understood the meaning of this entry.

   What the **** kind of pollution is this? Could there be a belief that pollution is a greater threat?

   It's like the mental seal of a slave. If this thing is tricked, even cognition will be biased.

   The more I think about it, the more numb my scalp feels.

   At this moment, Ji Xun seemed to see a big hand from ancient times, which quietly pushed out the soil from the tomb, blocking the vision of human beings looking to the heights.

  A certain old **** who had long been buried in the dust of history wanted to wake up the instinctive terror sleeping in the blood of human beings after thousands of years, and regain control of the dominance over lower creatures.

  Ji Xun's expression froze: "Faith pollution, it's so lively now."

   Killing people and performing **** sacrifices, human beings are no different from animals in the eyes of the gods. The believers of the ancient gods gave him a very bad impression as soon as they came.

  Ji Xun can already foresee that human beings will be dominated by the old gods and fall into the endless night.

  It is a kind of real eternal night, like human beings trapped on an isolated island by gods, and cognition is forever blinded by false beliefs.

  Facing the terror of the **** of the indescribable ancient gods, Ji Xun snorted and let out a sneer, his eyes were full of scorching sternness. The curvature of the corners of his mouth became higher and higher, reaching an almost evil level.

   Tsk tsk, I just said what is missing

  Innocence City, the end of the world and a place of exile, if it is only violence and disorder, the folk customs are really simple.

  Now do this,

   This smell is suddenly right.

  It doesn't matter what kind of ancient god's retinue, old sect, evil **** sacrifice

   This is the correct way to open the dark side of the extraordinary world.

   This is a world with gods and demons!

  Pollution of faith, this kind of mysterious means is impossible to guard against.

  If there is no way to restrain it, even high-level spell card masters will be tricked.

  Those believers of the old gods are much more threatening than the turmoil brought by the plutocrats.

  Ji Xun looked at the moon in the sky, thoughts racing in his mind.

  The pollution is not serious right now, but it will be 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.

   Nothing in the sky.

  It seems that everything is an illusion.

   "Huh, interrupted?"

  Ji Xun looked at something and immediately thought of something, thinking: "Could it be that there is not enough energy?"

  Since the old sects have shown up, there is no need to hide them.

  Since polluting the whole city, it would be fine to do it to the end, but now it is suddenly interrupted?

   Should not be interrupted by external force.

   This moon is the first time it appears, those old believers should not be so stupid, they were discovered for 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 body unit, even gods should be described by some special energy units.

   Such a large-scale belief pollution must require an energy source.

  Even if it is magic, it must be supported by magic power.

   "So, what is the energy that the 'moon' needs?"

   Ji Xun began to think quickly in his mind.

  In his eyes, the moon is like a light bulb, which only lights up when it is energized.

   But where does "electricity" come from?

  Following this line of thought, Ji Xun suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

   "Hey energy? Could it be produced by a sacrificial ceremony?"

   Ji Xun instantly thought of the **** sacrifice ceremony in the cellar of Tailor Street.

   Could it be that the 【Secret Cause Psychic】is actually energy?

   Not only that, he also instantly thought of the layout in the maze of the Great Cemetery.

  There are four stone pillars in the secret room, on which are carved living sacrifice ceremonies, and then there is the moon symbol that the priest points to the ceiling.

  Using sacrifices to pray for the response of the gods.

  The more I think about it, the clearer it becomes.

  Ji Xun's brain is running fast at this moment.

  The fragments of information about that old sect kept colliding in my mind.

  Great Cemetery Secret Room, Four-Pillar Arch Moon, Tailor Street Sacrifice

  Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, a corner of a certain pattern was assembled in a blink of an eye.

  Although there is no glimpse of the whole picture.

  But just this corner is enough for Ji Xun to guess a possibility that is very close to the truth.

  He is almost certain that the "moon" will appear only after the sacrificial ceremony.

  Ji Xun rolled his eyes, and a bolder guess appeared in his heart!

   "Since the position of the moon is fixed, is it true that the position of the 'four pillars' is also fixed?"

  Although he didn't understand why the stone pillars in the secret room were designed in this way.

  But his intuition told him that the four stone pillars must have some kind of formation, and they must not be changed easily!

   Now the position of the moon has been determined, it is in the very center.

   Then make sure a little more, can't you determine the position of the four pillars?

   "The Tailor Street Cellar!"

   Ji Xun rolled his eyes and grasped the point.

  If he guessed correctly, the cellar on Tailor Street was one of the positions of the four pillars.

  So in other words, there should be three other sacrificial ceremony strongholds in the other three locations?

  Ji Xun doesn't care about any old sects.

  Spell card masters in this world have coexisted with gods and demons for countless years, and that level of game is 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 that there is something wrong with the moon.

   But at this moment, Ji Xun had a bold idea in his mind: "If I can find another sacrifice place, will I also be able to find [Secret Cause Spiritual Medium]?!"

  Thinking suddenly brightened.

  Ji Xun's eyes were burning.

  He felt that he might have a big surprise for those Old Day believers!
