Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

Aside from these two, there are the Title Douluos from the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders...

Ning Rongrong glanced at Sima Xi.

She believes that Poseidon was responsible for the work in these two places.

After all, Poseidon had already taken the Black Flame of the Temple of Worship before she even appeared, so the worshippers of the Temple of Worship were bound to suffer a terrible fate.

In the Elders' Hall, although Ning Rongrong had no evidence, she could only assume that it was Poseidon who did it.

After all, there couldn't be any other possibility.

There are only so many Title Douluos in the world, and even fewer people can take on so many Title Douluos at once.

After much thought, the only one with that ability is Poseidon.

Sima Xi, standing to the side, noticed that Ning Rongrong glanced at her and then began to think. Combining this with what Ning Fengzhi had said earlier, she understood what Ning Rongrong was thinking.

So she nodded:

"It was indeed 'me' who did it. In the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders, all those Title Douluos were knocked unconscious by 'me'. The reason... they were in the way, so that's all."

"Back then, when 'I' accidentally wandered into the Elder Hall for the first time, they stopped me, so I knocked them unconscious. Then, when I got to the Offering Hall, it was the same thing. The blows... well, not light. It seems they really haven't recovered yet."

Chapter 232 The Call

Lu Ma logged in around the same time the three of them returned to the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Lu Ma clearly heard their conversation.

However, there were too many things he didn't understand. Even though he knew that "the Spirit Hall's current state was the work of Ning Rongrong and Poseidon," he was still completely clueless about other aspects.

The Spirit Hall was reduced to ruins... Qian Daoliu died, cut in two... The Title Douluos of the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders were all knocked unconscious by Poseidon and haven't woken up yet...

The reason...

Since it's related to Ning Rongrong and Poseidon, it's probably related to the Holy Spirit Cult.

It is related to the Holy Spirit Cult, and the change occurred at the Spirit Hall.

After thinking about it, Lu Ma could only conclude that the matter was related to Black Flame.

"Therefore, Ning Rongrong and the other two came to the Spirit Hall in order to obtain the Spirit Hall's Black Flame..."

"only……"

"That explains Ning Rongrong and Poseidon, but why is Gu Yuena here? It doesn't make sense from a different perspective."

When Lu Ma was controlling Ning Rongrong in the game, Gu Yuena never appeared, so he naturally didn't know about her existence.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

When faced with more important matters, these minor details can be overlooked.

Based on the current situation, Black Flame has most likely obtained it.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong's level increase can also be explained by the Black Flame.

Like Gu Yuena, this is a detail that can be ignored and Lu Ma doesn't need to speculate too much.

Lu Ma understood, and at the same time felt a sense of urgency.

The game has a problem, but he has already checked the code. Apart from that one string of characters he doesn't understand, there are no other issues. In other words, there's no way to troubleshoot outside the game itself.

He could only hope that he could get some useful information from the game that would help him figure out exactly where the problem was.

After all, although he couldn't understand the code, he could understand the scene it depicted.

He wanted to try to deduce the problem with the code outside the game by observing the in-game behavior.

Although he knew the chances of finding the problem in time were slim.

Lu Ma subconsciously focused his mind, trying to control Ning Rongrong to move the camera as usual, but the next moment, he was stunned again.

He pressed the button, but the character in the game didn't move at all.

He couldn't control the character.

"By bypassing that section, I can get in, but can I only look and not touch?"

Lu Ma immediately realized what was happening and frowned.

Being unable to control the character is not a good thing, as it means that his perspective is locked.

He can only obtain information from the perspective of the characters in the game, and cannot explore on his own.

He could force himself to take control by writing a few lines of code, but that would also take time, and whether he would have enough time was another question.

Moreover, he had a strange feeling about him.

He had a feeling that even without giving himself the authority to act, he could still find the problem.

-

The area encompassing the Spirit Hall.

Ning Fengzhi has already gone to arrange the handling of the Title Douluo.

Now that Ning Rongrong and the other two have returned, they no longer need to worry about anything.

Meanwhile, Sima Xi and Ning Rongrong's conversation continued.

"The matter of the Spirit Hall is now settled. So, what's next?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Sima Xi and asked.

Sima Xi glanced at Ning Rongrong, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke:

"Actually, it's nothing. After that, all we can do is wait... Lu... uh... Ma...."

When Sima Xi said these words, especially the last few, her expression was already quite bad. Clearly, she had been under considerable pressure to utter those words.

Ning Rongrong was stunned when she saw this.

She was stunned for a long time before she realized who this "Lu Ma" that Sima Xi was talking about was.

They also realized why Sima Xi was acting this way.

Lu Ma, that is naturally the name of the Holy God.

And Sima Xi's current behavior...

To be honest, could she really understand?

On the day Shrek moved the stone in the rainy night, she also had a feeling of suffocation.

In this world, it is not permitted to attempt to communicate with the Holy One.

Looking at it now, it seems that calling someone by their first name is not permitted either.

Ning Rongrong was not sure why these two things could not be done.

In just a few seconds, Sima Xi's condition visibly deteriorated again.

"what happened to you?"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise, and she and Gu Yuena rushed forward at the same time, supporting the swaying Sima Xi on either side.

They could clearly feel her body trembling violently, and her breathing becoming extremely disordered.

"Cough... No, it's nothing... I just suffered a backlash."

With the help of the two men, Sima Xi managed to stand up, breathing weakly, and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Ning Rongrong looked at Sima Xi with a complicated expression:

"It's as if you knew this would happen, but you still did it. Why?"

In Ning Rongrong's eyes, if Sima Xi did not know about this beforehand, then he should have shut up when he was about to utter the first word, just as she did at the time.

Sima Xi recited the name in its entirety, indicating that he had already anticipated this outcome.

This puzzled Ning Rongrong, because she didn't think Sima Xi had any reason to do this.

"call--"

Sima Xi did not answer immediately. She paused for a while before regaining the strength to speak, and then replied...

"It's to speed up the process."

"Progress? What progress?"

Ning Rongrong remained puzzled.

"The progress of opening up the passage."

“I believe in him. He will definitely turn his attention here. So, I need to let him know what’s happening here and what’s happened to me.”

"It might not get through this time, but that's okay."

"As long as I intermittently leak information about this place and about me, he will eventually find out."

Ning Rongrong and Gu Yuena were even more confused.

Ning Rongrong was a little better off because she had experienced it before.

Does Lu Ma know what happened here?

Of course.

Ning Rongrong firmly believed this.

only……

Whether it's possible or not, and whether it will happen or not, are two different things.

Lu Ma had the ability to know, but after all, He hadn't appeared for a long time, hadn't controlled her, and hadn't transmitted His voice.

Ning Rongrong knew that Sima Xi was taking a gamble. She was betting that Lu Ma would happen to hear her say those words.

Ning Rongrong also knew that this was unlikely.

She thought about it and was surprised to find—

It seems that this is one of the few things they can do.

"This will take a lot of effort and come at a high price..."
