old dream

Chapter 171 Sun Passage
Linus' ritual was easily interrupted because the connection was still exposed to the etheric plane.

Compared with the gap in strength scale, this is the real gap in the second curtain.

"Do you know how the lieutenant brought the wine in?"

After hearing the question from the Silent City, Linus withdrew his dazed eyes and looked at the human-shaped shadow in the darkness.

The moonlight in the ruins flowed on "him", and Helvetia had already broken free from the shackles of the material body, whether it was by sealing the body somewhere, or by taking advantage of the transformation of death.

It turned out that the "City of Silence" had already left, and he had quietly left the sanctuary set up by Danaro on the female moon frequency, but the intelligence system of the Principality of the Holy Province was unaware of this.

For the past half month, Helvig has been lurking in the etheric field of Stade like a ghost, while resisting the reconnaissance of various predictive and narrative agencies, while waiting for an opportunity.

"Why do you think I know?"

Linus calmed down and replied:
"If I have mastered his transportation route, will I still fall into this trap?"

The sprawling of that shadow is still continuing, and a structure similar to frost and dust is condensed on the large crystal plane, producing structural colors like butterfly wings. They deflect the moonlight at countless angles, thus bringing out a dark, metallic color. iridescent.

"I can't tell."

The harsh feeling of crystal collision fades away, and the sound becomes soft and smooth in a short time.

After all, the people of the religious order are especially good at intelligence operations, whether it is search and collection, or prediction and deduction.

Having lost their status in the past, they can only rely on information and prophecy to survive, although this has also brought disaster.

The biggest difficulty of the "Swabian method" of reverse resonance prediction lies in the accurate description of events.The reason why Linus was able to complete this step was because of the help of the narrative mechanism.

The personnel of the Ninth Division of Stade did not have this ability.

Regardless of predictive science, this "Silent City" can track the lieutenant directly, but——

"Forget it, let's get started directly."

Herwig said rather impatiently.

Anyway, even if it fails, it's none of my business.

His purpose of coming here is only to obliterate the potential threat of Linus.

Handling chores like the lieutenant is just a small calculation of the Stade Bureau.With a character like him, at most he would do it easily.

Linus closed his eyes to strengthen his intentions, and found that the nearby ethers had been locked.The connection with the virtual world was broken, and the remaining spiritual essence became stagnant water stagnant in the ether.

Including the ether on his body, he has been unable to find an exit.This kind of deprivation of all power, despair and peace is also one of the origins of the opponent's title of "City of Silence".

Herwig rubbed his newly formed fingers, making a squeaking sound like a jewel squeezed when he clenched his fist.Then almost at the same moment, one of Linus' legs fell off.

This inhuman body can withstand even greater insanity.

The number one commissioner didn't know what happened, but his weight suddenly lost two kilograms, because the joint between the hip bone and the thigh bone had disappeared in one piece, turning into a cloud of flying blood and broken bones.

"—Boom!"

It looked as if someone had fired a shot with a large-caliber rifle, but there wasn't.

Only the white air curtain on Herwig's right fist that has not subsided hinted at what he had just done.

It wasn't a gunshot at all, but a sonic boom caused by a punch.

At the same time as the flesh and blood burst, Linus' whole body was carried away by the momentum, rolling on the rough ground.

Because of his mental toughness, he managed to avoid being dizzy.But still couldn't help grunting.But when the tumbling stopped, Linus had already clasped the exposed aorta in the blurred wound with his hands to avoid rapid blood loss.

There was another creaking sound in the air, and the condensed crystals carefully blocked his blood vessels.

"Forgive me, I haven't tortured others for many years, and the strength is not good enough."

It's not good to accidentally kill the subject.

Silent City walked close to Linus's body, bent down and fumbled in his upper and lower pockets for a while, frowning:

"Don't you smoke?"

His body can no longer appreciate the beauty of nicotine, but it is rare for his body to condense once, and he still can't help but want to savor it.

"Since there is no smoke, shall we hurry up?"

Herwig straddled Linus and crushed one of his fingers as he asked.

Linus roared hoarsely, his body struggled violently, and was immediately suppressed by Herwig's steely hands.

"I used to enjoy torture, but now I don't have that patience."

He said lightly:
"You and I both know that after more than ten days of torturing a person, the information obtained in the end may be similar to that extracted from the corpse."

"We are all insiders, otherwise we wouldn't go through this boring process."

"Tell me everything about that lieutenant, or I'll hand over your body to those in the branch. The result is the same. You choose."

Linus' gums were already damaged due to the heavy pressure, he raised his head and showed a bloody smile:

"There may not be what you want on the corpse, don't forget..."

The memory self-destruction mechanism set by the church.

The bone twisting "click" sounded again, and Herwig pulled out another finger as a punishment:

"You thought I was dealing with self-destruct for the first time?"

The connection with the position has been cut off, and now Linus can't do anything.

Helvig has extremely rich experience, after all, Leia was tortured in his hands 30 years ago.

Linus' body was convulsed by severe pain, he vaguely imagined how his sister would feel at that time.

Would she hate this man?Or is he thinking about protecting his companions even to death?

"never mind."

The same look in the eyes of the woman at the time of the persecution made Silent City inexplicably disgusted. This prey will not yield to external forces.

More pain, on the contrary, will make this kind of person's will stronger.

"I'm tired," he said, raising his wrist a little, ready to crush the other's heart.

At least with the corpse of the running dog of the religious order, the people from the Stade Bureau should be able to dig something out.

"……path……"

"what?"

Helwig, who was about to make a move, hesitated for a moment, thinking that the other party was going to tell the lieutenant's transportation route.

"Pathway to the Sun."

And it was this extremely short time that allowed Linus' intentions to completely focus.

The connection to the astral pathway is deeper than the etheric and is established at the void - the level of deep consciousness.

It's just that these forces must pass through the ether to preserve the structure.Therefore, it is necessary to use the ether of the human body and the ether of other stars when performing rituals.

But what Linus wants at this time is not the controllable power in the ceremony, but the overflow of spiritual essence.

The spiritual essence that is enough to destroy the material body overflows.

Only a strong solar channel can provide this density of spiritual essence in a short period of time.

And because the City of Silence blocks the ether of the human body, they will completely rush into Linus' body, destroying and destroying all material structures.

Since this person is asking about the route of transporting wine, it means that the lieutenant has not yet become a puppet of the Ninth Division.

I have been unable to realize the blueprint to save everyone, so I only hope that this last persistence can give you a little bargaining chip.

A huge amount of chaotic overflowing spiritual essence raged in Linas' body, and intense light came out from Linus' facial features and pores.

"Oh!"

There was another violent gunshot, and the expressionless Silent City had already chopped off Linus' head with a knife in his hand, trying to stop the overflow of spiritual essence.

But it was too late, the violently turbulent sun spirit element was burning and condensing, destroying everything in his brain.

Never be defeated by others, let alone by yourself.

lieutenant.

Herwig frowned and looked at the unrecognizable corpse, and touched the head that was already limp and rotten with his foot.

It was not until then that the remaining spiritual essence was consumed.But as the light on Linus gradually dimmed, the ruins did not return to darkness.

Herwig squinted his eyes and looked out. It turned out to be the newborn sun, rising.
