Chapter 161 Revelation

Although Wu Chang was in high spirits, as if seizing the kingdom of God on earth was as easy as taking candy from a sack, Irene was not as optimistic as he was.

Irene didn't want to pour cold water on Wu Chang, but she felt that she had an obligation to wake Wu Chang up. She sighed and said:

"Your idea is good, but unfortunately, I can only see the occult rituals arranged here, and I don't know how to change them."

As she gradually gained a better understanding of emotions, she found that being able to sense other people's emotions not only failed to promote communication, but made communication more difficult.

In order not to disappoint Wu Chang too much, she added: "If it's just to destroy the occult rituals here, I can do it easily."

Wu Chang looked at Irene who was speaking hesitantly, and a smile appeared on his face. He could feel the change in Irene.

When you think about whether what you say will affect the other person before you speak, it means you care about him.

She has me in her heart.

He had decided that if it was a boy he would name him Wu Wei, and if it was a girl she would name her Wu Shuang.

Just when Wu Chang was about to name the child, Irene stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him.

"Wu Chang, are you okay?"

Wu Chang shook his head and came back to his senses. "Sorry, I was a little distracted. We were just talking about something. We can't modify all the people in the Kingdom of God on earth, right?"

Irene said: "Unless you can control the other party's master of mysticism, or find a master of mysticism who can help you."

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Only you and I should know about this matter. There is absolutely no room for a third person."

The reason is simple, he wants to eat alone.

The Kingdom of God on Earth might be his biggest trump card in the future, and he would never allow anyone else to know about it, nor would he allow anyone else to get involved.

"You don't understand occultism, and I don't understand occultism either, but we have to change a huge occult ritual. Doesn't this sound unreasonable?"

Seeing Irene nod, Wu Chang laughed and said, "What the gods do is a miracle. Miracles are impossible to complete and unreasonable. That's right! When the kingdom of God on earth is completed, everything will become reasonable."

"Let's continue looking for the next node. We must thoroughly understand their layout so that we can use it in advance for future transfers."

Irene looked at Wu Chang holding her hand. When she was feeling down just now, Wu Chang took advantage of the chaos and grabbed her hand, and never let go since then.

"I'm fine now, you can let go."

Wu Chang shook his head and refused, saying, "Didn't you see it when you were shopping during the day? In my dimension, men and women go out together and hold hands like this. This is the local custom and you have to learn to integrate into it."

Irene frowned slightly. Although she had not learned this part, her intuition told her that Wu Chang was talking nonsense. However, when he held her hand just now, she could indeed feel a strength from her palm, a strength that made her feel at ease.

Since he didn't reject it, he didn't expose Wu Chang's lie.

Irene looked for traces of mystical rituals and determined the direction of the next node. The two of them came out of the Wenchang Temple holding hands, like a couple who were about to take a test and came to make a wish.

"Erin, there are actually many different customs and practices in our plane. I think you should try them all. For example, in western countries, kissing the cheek is popular. When you meet each other every morning, you have to kiss the other person first."

"There is a country called French Chicken, where they even have a kiss on the cheek. They also have a tradition of French kissing. I suggest you try it too."

"Hey, I'm talking to you about culture. What are you going to do with the light of determination? Wait, don't smash it!"

The two spent an entire night circling almost the entire Wanghai City and found the twelve nodes of the kingdom of God on earth.

Wu Chang marked all twelve nodes with real-life anchor points. Every time he completed two nodes, he would receive an attribute reward.

He thought he had encountered a good opportunity to brush up his attributes, but after the actual anchor points exceeded nine, he no longer received any display rewards. Even after completing the twelfth anchor point, no new attribute rewards appeared.

It seems that five attribute rewards are the upper limit of the rewards for the first job transfer task.

There are five attribute rewards, all of which are in the mode of deducting life and increasing other physical attributes. In total, 8 points of life are reduced, and 7 points of strength, 5 points of agility, 3 points of endurance, and 10 points of energy are increased.

No wonder the combat effectiveness of players with and without job changes is so different, especially for players with hidden professions. Even the worst hidden profession will not be inferior to the strongest ordinary job change.

Not to mention the strength brought by the profession, the first job transfer task alone brings 17 attribute points. If a series of tasks are completed, I don’t know how many more attributes will be obtained.

No wonder he felt a huge gap in attributes when facing Kenshin. It turned out that the difference was in job change.

The twelve ritual nodes are not all the nodes of the Kingdom of God on Earth. According to Irene, whether intentionally or accidentally, the player who arranged the ritual did not activate the most core part of the ritual of the Kingdom of God on Earth.

If the ritual node is not running, the location of the node cannot be detected.

It seems like a good way to hide the nodes, but you have to know that it is much easier to modify or destroy an occult ritual that has not yet been activated than to modify or destroy an occult ritual that has been activated.

This situation is exactly what Wu Chang expected.

The framework of God’s kingdom on earth has been established, which is equivalent to the house having been built. The property deeds have been issued, and all that’s left is to write the name in the owner’s column and stamp it.

Who the homeowner writes depends entirely on the mood of the person arranging the ceremony.

The other party was setting up the Kingdom of God on Earth for the first time, and was worried about problems. He wanted to make full preparations and activate the Kingdom of God on Earth in one go.

Or maybe the other party's faith is not sincere, and he is waiting for a good price, wandering among several evil gods.

Wu Chang couldn't tell which situation it was. He only knew that in his eyes, the landlord column must have Wu Chang and Irene written on it.

What he cares about is whether to change the original plan.

Before, he was thinking of letting Tang Renquan do what he wanted, and then intervening to seize the kingdom of God on earth after he had pushed it to the final step.

But given the current situation, it seems that Tang Renquan can be asked to leave in advance. He will take advantage of the chaos to look for the core nodes that have not been activated yet, and try to directly name Irene.

They have marked the twelve nodes of the ceremony on the map of Wanghai City, and based on the twelve nodes, they have locked down the approximate area of ​​the core of the ceremony.

As long as they can use the Administration to get rid of Tang Renquan and his gang, it will only take one night, or at most two nights, for him and Irene to find the core of the ritual.

What he had to do next was to wait for Ye Ge’s next activity and choose how to deal with Tang Renquan based on the activity.

Ever since the erosion copy appeared, the atmosphere in Wanghai City has become extremely tense.

Although the erosion copy will change people's cognition, making people forget what happened in the erosion copy, and making all unreasonable phenomena reasonable.

But the impact of the erosion copy on people has already penetrated into their spirits and is far from easy to get rid of.

The citizens of Wanghai City, especially those in the area affected by the erosion copy, began to become sensitive, irritable, and easily angered.

It is common to see large groups of people looking up at the sky at the same time, seeming to be chanting something.

You can also see people getting angry for no reason, and the words "What are you looking at" can become the opening line of an invitation to a duel.

All of a sudden, the crime rate in Wanghai City skyrocketed, road rage victims were everywhere, and the business of praying to gods and the gambling industry flourished.

Ordinary crimes are not so serious. At most they are just fights and brawls, which won’t cause any big trouble.

However, for some individuals with high inspiration or severely eroded copies, their will is no longer able to restrain their distorted spirits, and they become extremely dangerous.

The number of missing people in Wanghai City in the past week has exceeded the total of the past five years.

There are five or six missing persons cases almost every day. In some cases, the bodies are found quickly, while in others, neither the person nor the body is found.

And this number is only the data of reported cases.

If those who have not been found are included, the number of missing persons will at least double.

Just dealing with these sudden and vicious incidents kept the police officers across the city very busy and they had no time to deal with ordinary fights.

The lack of police force has led to further chaos in public security, and this trend cannot be changed in a short period of time. The saying that good children should go home before dark has been brought up again.

Ordinary police officers in Wanghai City are busy, and members of the management bureau are even split into two people.

Most of the individuals distorted by the eroded copies will become monsters and possess powers beyond those of ordinary people. To deal with such monsters, the Administration must take action.

The management staff not only had to deal with ordinary people affected by the erosion, but also had to be on guard against players outside the management who were trying to take advantage of the situation. The most typical example was Tang Renquan. While the problem of the remaining erosion copies had not been resolved, these rats hiding in the gutter took the opportunity to jump out.

Wanghai City is not a famous large city, and there are not many local players. In this case, they are busier than ordinary police officers.

The management bureau did not assign any other tasks to Wu Chang except that he was asked to keep an eye on the Yege Bar and make sure to find out Tang Renquan's real purpose.

This allowed Tang Renquan to slack off openly during the few days of silence, while Zhao Yan, who had worked overtime all day, had to say thank you for his hard work.

There are 28 hours left until the activity time specified by Ye Ge.

Wu Chang, like a detective on the lookout in a movie, found a place to live near the Yege Bar among the administration's properties and moved there temporarily.

On the balcony of the room, there is a telescope specially used for surveillance. Without leaving the room, one can easily observe the movements at the door of the Yege Bar.

On the coffee table next to the telescope, there are donuts, red bean bread and milk, creating a perfect atmosphere.

Wu Chang himself was sitting next to the telescope, browsing on his phone.

A short video was playing on the mobile phone. The video was shot in Wanming City, 300 kilometers away. The video was very short, only 15 seconds, but the content was shocking enough.

The camera lens of the mobile phone was shaking violently, and it could be seen that the photographer was holding the phone when taking the picture. Directly in the camera was a thick gray-yellow fog, which was rolling in the fog, and huge black shadows could be vaguely seen swimming in it.

The sound reception in the short video is very poor. You can hear the fierce wind noise and the faint sound of electric current.

If you turn the volume of the video up to the maximum, you can hear a faint chanting from the wind noise. The chanting sounds ethereal and pleasant, not like the sound of humans, but more like the call of some special animal.

"I, I don't know if I can record it, and I don't know if you can hear it. It's calling me, and it's lonely."

Four seconds into the video, the voice of the person filming was heard for the first time, mixed with heavy gasping. Judging from the shaking of the camera, the person filming was running towards the thick fog.

"It's calling me. I can't just leave it like this. Can you hear it? Its voice is getting closer! I, I see it!"

Amid the photographer's excited shouts, the short video freezes at the moment when the thick fog spreads towards the camera.

It was as if something had broken free from the thick fog and was rushing towards the photographer.

This short video comes from the A-level erosion copy in Wanming City.

Six hours ago, the electromagnetic interference that enveloped the erosion copy suddenly created a half-hour vacuum period, and a large number of short videos from the survivors in the copy appeared on major short video websites.

Since most of the accounts that posted the videos were small accounts with very few followers and the review system was very lax, the video with #浓雾 was automatically pushed to the top of the trending searches within two minutes.

This wave of changes happened too quickly and caught the administration off guard. Even though they manipulated the review process to delete posts from the entire network, and even subsequently shut down the servers of major short video sites in a short period of time, some posts still slipped through the net and were saved and widely circulated.

The short video that Wu Chang watches is one of them, and it is also the most influential one.

Not only was it saved and spread, but a kind-hearted person also changed the name of the video to "Turn the volume up to maximum and listen to the whispers of the universe."

At first people thought it was just a prank, but soon, due to the correct way of opening it, tens of thousands of viewers were affected by the sound in the thick fog and prepared to go to Wanming City and rush into the thick fog like the person who filmed the video.

The most intuitive manifestation is that all high-speed trains and airplanes passing through Wanming City were sold out within one hour after the video appeared.

Even though all public transportation to Wanming City was subsequently closed, there were still countless spectators driving private cars, blocking the highway intersection and attacking the checkpoints set up by the military.

Due to the urgency of the situation, the Wanming City Administration Bureau has sought help from all surrounding branches.

As the nearest neighbor, almost all the masters from Wanghai Branch came out, including Jian Xing and Shi Ning.

It can be said that Wanghai City is in an unprecedented emptiness at this moment, which is a perfect time for something to jump out.

Wu Chang watched this 15-second short video over and over again. Through repeated freezing and almost frame-by-frame analysis, he vaguely saw a horn-like pattern in the fog in the last frame.

This is it!

After becoming an explorer, his authority in the Administration has been greatly improved, and he can freely browse a lot of common sense information without spending corrupt silver coins.

Among these common senses that can be browsed freely, the information about the evil god believers mentioned the three most active evil god cults at present.

They are the Tranquility Sect, the Bliss Sect, and the Revelation Sect.

Among them, there is no need to say much about the Tranquility Sect, which is an old friend of Wu Chang. The sect’s symbol is a crescent-shaped vertical pupil.

The Cult of Bliss is second only to the Cult of Tranquility in terms of activity. Its doctrines are to indulge desires, enjoy pleasure to the fullest, and perceive the world with the body. The cult's symbol is a four-armed and four-legged human being, similar in appearance to Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.

If you must say, Wu Chang had some contact with the Paradise Sect. In the Quiet Town copy, the Perception Sect believed by the islanders on Bliss Island was a branch of the Paradise Sect.

They also advocated indulgence in freedom and enjoying themselves to the fullest, but because of Irene, they went from the extreme of indulging desires to the extreme of restraining desires.

The last of the three evil cults, Revelation, is a force that Wu Chang has not yet come into contact with.

The symbol of the Revelation Cult is a twisted horn.

They are different from the other two evil cults. They believe in the evil god not to gain wealth and power, nor to satisfy their own desires, but to save the world.

They believe that the end of the world is coming and all life will perish in a great disaster, and the gods they believe in will give them the Revelation leading to the future world. Following the guidance of the Revelation, they will lead their believers through the end of the world and reach the bright world of the future.

The Revelation Cult sounds very selfless and their purpose is very pure, but the more so, the more they believe in their own correctness and justice, and the more they are convinced that those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters.

They believe that everything they destroy is a necessary sacrifice in the process of welcoming light.

Because of this, this group of paranoid lunatics acted more recklessly than the other two sects, and the harm they caused was more serious than the other two.

The reason why the A-level erosion copy that appeared in Wanming City is so difficult to deal with is closely related to the involvement of Revelation.

Anything will become extremely troublesome once these three groups of guys get involved.

Putting down his phone, Wu Chang continued to monitor the Yege Bar.

Unfortunately, the Yege Bar was closed all day, and he still didn't see any useful information until the agreed time.

At 9:30 in the evening, Wu Chang's phone vibrated. He turned on the screen and saw the pinned announcement of the Ye Ge chat group update.

There is only one location in the announcement, Haiyang Square, Cuihu Park, Ping'an District.

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows, he was very familiar with this location. Among the twelve nodes of the Kingdom of God rituals on the ground that he had scouted last night, one of them was at the location being located.

Moreover, Haiyang Square, located in the south and north of Wenchang Temple, are two major nodes.

He and Irene had guessed last night that if the next event was scheduled at Haiyang Square, it would mean that the other party could not wait and would soon conduct the earthly kingdom ceremony.

He took the transformation pill, took a taxi and headed straight to Haiyang Square.

When he arrived, one third of the group had already arrived at the scene. They stared blankly at the sculpture in the center of Haiyang Square, and finally subconsciously expressed their wishes.

Haiyang Square is the Dream Square that used to be in the Erosion Copy. After the Erosion Copy was broken, it did not disappear, but merged with Wanghai City.

Some of the power of the Great Miracle still remains here. Citizens who have been affected by the erosion copy and have been to the Dream Square will unconsciously make a wish in a low voice when they come here.

It is for this reason that this place was chosen by Tang Renquan and others as one of the important cores.

They didn't have to wait long before they saw the manager of the Yege Bar arriving with the Pilot Band. From the looks of their attitude, it seemed that they wanted to hold an open-air concert here.

But unlike in the Yege Bar, the bar manager did not wear a conspicuous suit, but a rather classic dress. The bar waiters following him did not wear bold leather jackets, but changed into dresses of the same style.

Their participation brought a touch of solemnity and sacredness to the open-air party, which was supposed to be full of passion and wildness.

This style is so novel that many regular customers of the bar came over and asked which store the dress was custom-made.

The bar manager smiled but said nothing, and just said that he would push it to everyone later.

Compared with the special style of the bar's dresses, Wu Chang was more concerned about the patterns on the cuffs of their dresses.

Every bar staff member, including the waiters, has a twisted horn embroidered on his cuff.
