I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 188 The Nun's Past

Lin finally put down the smoking gun, and the creeper in front of him stopped moving.

"Confirmed death." Fran, who was watching the battle not far away, said to him through the helmet's intercom.

Lin finally let out a sigh of relief. It didn't take much effort to kill the upper body.

The monster has been imprisoned in the Order of the Deathstroke's high-intensity cage.Before taking action, Lin Zhong made a lot of preparations. He weakened the creeper by fasting, and also prepared weapons and plans specifically for dealing with the bishop species. Then, under the supervision of Fran and Jishi Ark soldiers, he released it by himself. Go on a hunt.

In the dangerous abyss, when encountering such a superior species, even Lin Zhong, who had led a whole team of professional hunters in the past, had to wait and see.But in this environment, even if it is just a one-on-one fight, the whole hunting process is basically the same as killing an animal in a slaughterhouse-in Lin Zhong's evaluation, it is like slaughtering a struggling pig.

After killing the creeper, the soldiers from Jishi Ark quickly got to work, using equipment to extract the pseudo-core from the corpse and handing it to Lin Zhong.

"Please enjoy it while it's fresh." The female officer in charge of commanding and assisting Jishi Ark also joked.

The pseudonucleus of the superior species is a dark red colloid that has a texture like raw egg yolk but is quite tough. Lin has seen it many times, but this is the first time he has eaten it.

Since he had already had the experience of eating abyssal creatures in the past, he didn't have any intention of resisting and just put the thing in his mouth and ate it.

There was no taste at all, but after it fell into the stomach, a heat began to spread from the abdomen, like taking a sip of strong wine, or swallowing a fireball, the heat traveled through the limbs and bones.

"We will prepare to deal with the next ghost-faced crawler tomorrow. If Mr. Lin is free later, let's have a meeting together to formulate a plan?" The officer confirmed the follow-up arrangements with Lin Zhong.

"Okay." Lin Dian nodded.

It took them three days to kill two of the top subjects in this base, and it was expected that within a week they would be able to kill all five top subjects and turn them into Lin Zhong's experience pack.

Although this process is tedious, it is indeed stable enough.

But to reach the apostle level and solve the prey here, it can only be regarded as barely reaching half of the progress. Next, we have to go hunting in the abyss.

Whenever he thought about this, he couldn't help but think of Eileen's email.

"I contacted the nun before and asked her to help me investigate some things. Have you heard about it?" He tried to ask the technical officer.

"Well..." the female officer suddenly smiled bitterly, "Mr. Lin asked me if I was a little embarrassed?"

"Ah?" Lin Zhong didn't react for a moment.

"Sister, she is the commander of the entire Jishi Ark force. An officer of my level does not have the authority to contact her directly. It should be said that I need to go through a layer of reporting to contact the deputy commander, Mr. Galahad. Sister Unless I directly participate in the arrangement, it is impossible for me to know the situation." The female officer spread her hands and said, "There are very few people like you who are allowed to directly contact the nuns within the Ark, let alone You are still just a partner. Of course, please rest assured that the task we received from the priest is only to assist you, and we will not interfere too much."

Lin Zhong was startled for a moment: "That's it..."

He has always been able to contact the nuns directly in most cases, and has never seriously considered this issue.

The Benevolent Society is a religious organization, and clergy will provide help to believers. This idea has always made him have a weak impression of the hierarchy within the Benevolent Society, and it feels like it is natural for the nuns to mingle with the people below.

But in fact, Jishi Ark is still a standard military organization. The nun is the highest commander. It is difficult for the officers below to contact her beyond the level. However, the nun allows him, an outsider, to contact her at any time and introduces him to the saint.

This is probably because he was identified as a candidate for the knight race of demigods.

This reminded him of Eileen saying that the nuns, like Mr. Key, were looking forward to the completion of the "Return of the Stars" ceremony.

The officers of the Enji Society in front of him are all assisting him. Is the Enji Society pushing him to become a demigod mainly to contain the Lord of Time, or to complete the "Return of the Stars" ceremony?

Irene was naturally far less trustworthy than Sister Yisi, but there was one thing that always made Lin Zhong feel grudge: before he took the initiative to ask about it, the nun had never mentioned the "Return of the Stars" ceremony to him. This shows that the nun has a reason to hide this ritual from him.

There is a possibility that the nun, like Mr. Key, knows the meaning of the Star Return Ceremony and what will happen after it is completed.

"By the way, Priest Galahad was urgently transferred this morning. Is it because of this incident?" the female officer suddenly asked casually.

"Galahad left?" Lin Zhong was a little surprised.

Galahad has been staying in this base these days, in order to thoroughly dispose of the materials left here by the Deathstroke Order, investigate intelligence, and to always respond to possible retrieval operations organized by the Deathstroke Order.

"Don't you know? It seems like it's not for what you said, but the only ones qualified to summon him are nuns." The female officer nodded thoughtfully.

Lin finally thought about it, excluding the faceless saint, Galahad was the commander of Jishi Ark after the nuns. Before the matter here was settled, he left temporarily, probably to deal with more urgent and important matters. matter.

Galahad is the third-in-command of the Enzi Order, an apostle-level superior, and the nun's deputy.He should also be a core member of the Enji Society. Will he also know information about "The Return of the Stars"?

Before having a direct conversation with Irene, he had never thought so deeply about the internal situation of the Enzi Society.

"I heard before that the Enzi Order was founded by saints and nuns. When did Priest Galahad join?" Lin Zhong asked the female officer casually.

"Ah, this... Actually, I heard that Priest Galahad was also a founding member of the Enzi Society. He was the nun's teammate during the hunter period from the beginning." The female officer replied thoughtfully.

"Hunter period?" Lin Zhong was stunned for a moment.

"Don't you know?" The female officer blinked, "Before the establishment of the Enzi Society, the nuns and Priest Galahad were both hunters exploring the abyss, and they were also teammates."

Lin Zhong was really surprised by this statement, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not surprising.

Started as a wild hunter, explored the abyss using abyss relics and ordinary weapons, and then learned the method of becoming a superior and the secret of the center of the abyss, then transformed himself into a superior, and finally reached the center of the abyss to win the position of demigod— —This process is quite reasonable.
