Chapter 235 Evil God
The air was floating, and Bodner was crying and shouting.
Suddenly, an invisible wave swept by, and even Sean was stunned for a moment.
Is this... Mind projection?
The technology of the Mind Hall...
The surrounding ruins gradually became vivid, as if time was rapidly going backwards.
This place has become the original appearance of the town square.
"Bernard's memory was read, and the projection was built based on his etheric layer. This is the scene that Bernard saw at the beginning..." Saint Master Three of the Mind Hall knows this kind of situation very well.
The Mind Hall has the same effect, but there is still a big difference between stripping consciousness from the etheric layer and reading memory.
This is just the scene that the person saw at the beginning, and it does not necessarily match the reality.
Bernard's etheric consciousness is displayed around.
He stood in the center of the town square, where there was a huge mirror.
The young Bernard was very handsome and he was beaming.
Standing in front of the mirror, he smiled and said to the lively townspeople around him: "The great seducer Gao Yi responded to my prayers, and the Lord of the Sea will respond."
The crowd around cheered and praised, and the middle-aged man who looked like the mayor stepped forward and said: "Tell me, Bernard, you gathered everyone together, what do you want us to do for you?"
Bernard said excitedly: "Everyone in the town is my friend, the person I value most, I hope to get everyone's blessing!"
The people around laughed warmly, and the young postman was making a noise: "Bernard, you must be talking about Krenina's pregnancy! Am I going to be an uncle in the future!"
Bernard smiled happily: "Yes, I got the ceremony, I completed the sacrifice, I can have a reward - and this reward is my child!"
"Where is Krenina?" A gentle old woman asked.
Bernard pointed to the top of his head, where there was a two-masted sailboat, anchored in the air in a strange posture.
He said happily: "Krenina is on the boat. The blessing of the ocean must be completed on the sea. After everything is completed, I will invite everyone to the banquet!"
But the people around him didn't seem to see the boat, but applauded enthusiastically.
Bernard took out a lot of things.
There were necklaces, skulls, leather maps, kettles, and keys.
These were the things that the fisherman had shown Sean, and each one was heavily contaminated.
But in the mental projection, these things looked normal.
Bernard pressed each thing to his chest and recited the words of prayer devoutly.
"I stand before you with the most pious heart and offer you this sacrifice.
I thank you for giving me life, guiding me to the depths of the ocean, and protecting me on the road I am on.
I know that every breath and every step I take are inseparable from your gift. I thank you for giving me wisdom, so that I can know the world and understand the true meaning of life.
Today, I offer my most precious things and pray for your coming and giving me gifts.
Please let the son of the deep sea come to my lover Krenina..."
He closed his eyes and recited the strange prayer, but he did not notice that when he was reciting the words, the residents of the town who were originally happy all became sad. They looked at Bernard quietly with pity and sorrowful eyes.
When Bernard finished the prayer and opened his eyes, they became happy again.
The mirror behind him floated up, and the sky turned dark, as if there was thunder hidden in it ready to go.
"Please bless us!" Bernard threw everything into the mirror.
The residents of the town slowly knelt down, stretched out their hands, and had a strange calmness on their faces.
Gradually, the mirror began to shake at a terrible frequency, and the hands of the residents of the town began to twist randomly.
This is not a blessing ceremony... Sean, who was watching silently beside him, thought.
In front of his left was the old fisherman Bernard, who looked at all this in confusion.
"Krenina, I, I completed the ceremony... Everyone blessed us... But you had an accident..."
At this time, a woman with a round belly came out.
She was beautiful, but her skin was terribly pale, and there seemed to be something struggling to get out under her bulging belly.
"Krenina..." The old fisherman was almost crazy.
He cried again: "You and our children..."
Krenina showed a desolate expression, and she walked over slowly.
"Bernard... everything you see is not real..."
"Why..."
The mind projection was fluctuating, and Sean frowned slightly.
This time it should be Krenina's etheric consciousness, but Krenina is dead. She is at most the obsession in Bernard's memory and the partial consciousness retained by the strange mirror.
This kind of existence should not have an etheric layer...
The scene of young Bernard holding a child blessing ceremony for his wife disappeared, replaced by Krenina who was left alone on the deck.
The perspective is completely different.
The ocean is not calm, and the blue water surface shows a strange horizontal amplitude.
The surrounding seawater is rushing towards one place, which is... a small town.
The boat is also following, and Krenina is shouting desperately, but no one can hear it.
Then, Sean and the fisherman Bernard saw what really happened.
Young Bernard stood on the square with a crazy face. Next to him were a broken chain, the head of a huge sea beast, a huge prison map, a lot of corpses of recently dead sailors, and a A black key almost three meters high.
The original mirror turned into a huge mirrored door. The door knocker in the center was two big mouths oozing a fishy smell. The big mouths were devouring heads and corpses.
And Bernard has already raised the key - he wants to wait for the door to open and open the prison inside.
The residents of the small town were kneeling next to them. Each of them was reflected in the mirrored door. In the mirror, their own reflections were clinging to the ground and refusing to move, with a terrifying smile on their lips.
They were struggling, but they couldn't move.
The square was sinking, and all the sea water poured in, completely submerging their mouths and noses.
Crazy Bernard was still shouting: "Thank you everyone for your blessings!"
The residents of the town drowned in the water one by one, staring at Bernard with countless meanings in their eyes.
Krynina on the ship was shouting loudly, but Bernard turned a deaf ear.
Finally, the mirrored door ate the head and the sailor's body, and all the inhabitants drowned in the sea.
Bernard shouted happily, holding the key and walking into the opened mirror door.
On the boat, Krenina's belly bulged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she made a painful sound.
The ship also began to sink, and it seemed that all the sea water was sucked into the open mirror door.
Krynina was drowning in the water. She struggled but no one could help her.
The chains floated out, tying Krynina securely in the cabin, and she drowned.
However, in the water, her belly was still moving strangely.
"Poof -" a cracking sound came.
The thought projection vanished into thin air.
The old Bernard stood there, watching all this in disbelief.
"This is impossible... this is impossible... this is impossible..." He shouted in pain and misery.
Sean watched all this in silence.
Same as my guess...
The so-called blessing ceremony is actually a sacrifice... Those contaminated props are sacrifices, and the so-called blessing is the lives of all the residents of the town.
The gift given by Gaozun the Seducer was indeed a child...
However, Krenina is just a container for recovery.
And the person who accomplished all this was Bernard who was deceived.
"This is impossible...this is impossible!" He was crying.
Krynina, the old mayor, the postman, the doctor...their bodies were all erratic.
"Everyone forgives you..." Krinina wanted to hug her husband, but she couldn't do it.
After trying several times, she had no choice but to stand up and cried softly: "Everyone remembers what you have done, and everyone knows that you have been deceived..."
The old mayor sighed, his voice hoarse: "Child, our town is famous because of you. Your fishing boats have brought countless wealth to our port. You always take care of everyone... Maybe this is the price... …”
"Mayor of Minsk..." Bernard's eyes had completely lost their luster.
Krinina cried and squatted on the ground. She looked at her lover and said softly: "Bernard... this may be fate. We have all become sacrifices for the evil god..."
Bernard shook his head in pain: "It shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be like this... No, no... No! I resurrected you! I obviously did it!"
"No... that's..." Krynina's lips trembled. She hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "That's the evil god's plan... He was born, but the power was not merged with Him... …He has been tempting you, tempting you to revive Him, tempting you to save your strength for Him and then bring it to Him...I, I am just a bait in the sea of gray, and you are a fisherman who was tempted..."
Bernard froze in place, he was shaking.
The mayor of Minsk took a step forward: "Child, our consciousness has actually been parasitic on your body... But there is too little we can do... Run, child, the last thing we can do is to prevent the evil god from letting go." The power becomes one with Him.”
He showed a somewhat bitter smile, but the hand touching Bernard's head was still as kind as when he was a child.
"Run, get out of here... As long as you still remember us, we are not really dead..."
Other projections also shouted:
"Run, Bernard!"
"leave here!"
"The evil god might be coming, so hurry up!"
Krynina looked at Bernard, her eyes full of love and anxiety: "Get out of here, my dear."
"But...but...you...I killed you, I can't leave you..." Bernard was trembling.
Krynina said seriously: "Throw away that pocket watch. That is not the lighthouse I gave you. It is the incarnation of the evil god's power - that mirror door is the evil god's artifact, sucking away the wails and souls of everyone who died tragically. , everyone you’ve seen before is your reflection in the mirror!”
"That's our shadow, but it's also the influence of the evil god... Leave here and throw the pocket watch far away!"
A large number of projections were displayed that seemed to have exhausted a lot of power. The projections of Krenina and the residents of the town were becoming transparent, and the pocket watch in Bernard's hand opened by itself.
The blue dial was surging with waves, and the pointer lighthouse turned into the glowing protrusion of an anglerfish, waving wildly like a tentacle.
Is the evil god nearby?
As soon as this thought came to Sean's mind, suddenly, the pocket watch seemed to come to life.
The ground under his feet began to tremble again, and the wind and sand were whistling.
The cabin and the square shook together, and a layer of dazzling blue light flashed on the ground next to them.
The sand and rocks below became a transparent floor, and blue energy veins shone and spread from the deepest part of the ground.
"Mechanical creation..." Sean's pupils shook violently.
That is to say...
Just like the scene that swallowed the camel bell team, the huge black shadow swam forward.
But this time, Sean could clearly see that it was not the giant approaching, but the energy blocks on the path that were constantly forming a body.
The whale jumped out and then fell back into the ground.
This is not a strange creature in the gray sea...
It should be said that the gray sea under our feet is all one!
This is a technological creation with energy veins as the core.
The entire gray sea...is a sea of nano-creatures? !
So, the pocket watch is actually...
The ground is shaking, and those nano-creatures are spreading along the energy veins. There seems to be a building deep under the feet.
The pocket watch is a starter...Is this the main control room?
Sean had an absurd idea.
On the other side, the increasingly transparent Krenina was loudly urging Bernard.
"What exactly is the evil god? None of us can see it clearly, but pollution will affect everything! Bernard, leave here quickly and throw the pocket watch outside the gray sea!"
Bernard was trembling, and those nano-creatures seemed to no longer obey his orders.
Many gray-blue particles flowed out of his mouth and nose, and his already old face was further exhausted.
Bernard panted and murmured, "So that's how it is..."
"Get out of here!" Krenina screamed with all her might.
But Bernard just smiled with relief.
"Krenina..." He turned his head, "So that's how it is..."
He lifted up the chain that had been sinking into the ground.
As the energy veins became clearer, this time, Sean could finally see it.
The chain connected the location, and it was also made of nano-creatures. As long as Bernard kept holding it, various nano-creatures would enter his body with the chain, delaying his aging and providing him with strength.
Bernard laughed bitterly: "Krenina... I'm sorry, I was not only deceived, but also controlled..."
Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment and turned his eyes to Sean.
Sean frowned slightly, and the latter whispered: "Mr. Sean, can you leave here with the pocket watch... I beg you..."
Sean was thinking and was about to answer, when suddenly, his elbow touched something.
He turned around subconsciously and looked, and his breathing tightened all of a sudden.
The mirror appeared beside him at some point.
The dim mirror reflected half of Sean's silhouette.
At this moment, Bernard made a terrified and resentful sound, and Krenina and the residents who were about to disappear all screamed shrilly.
"Evil God... Gao Xi!"
