Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

In other words, at this moment, the "God" who is about to be born has been "confined" to the "altar" that summoned her.

An Suxin asked: "So, we can go up after all the offerings on the boat are eaten up?"

"In theory, yes," Aita gave the answer.

Chu Yan stared at Etta's face, as if trying to see something from her eyes: "Really? That's great. I have another question here, Etta, since you are my brother's maid, then I want to ask you..."

Chu Yan paused for a moment, then asked softly, "My brother, between you and that [God], who are you loyal to?"

……

Chu Xiao couldn't feel the passage of time. People kept moving back and forth outside the room, and the entire artificial human factory seemed to be becoming very busy.

Finally, the door of the room opened again.

However, the person who came in this time was not Sir Lobelin, but the tall security chief Angelo and the mad-looking Dr. Adrian.

"Come out, it's time." Angelo said expressionlessly.

The doctor named Adrian was holding a tablet, staring at Chu Xiao from head to toe with shining eyes, as if he was about to drool.

Chu Xiao took a deep breath, left the bed, followed the two men out of the white room, and the two guards at the door followed him - they kept pointing guns at Chu Xiao, probably to prevent him from taking the opportunity to escape.

The other party's consideration was very thorough. Chu Xiao tried to find a chance to escape, but he couldn't find any opportunity at all. He had to follow behind several people and continue walking deeper into the artificial human factory.

He knew that the place he was going to now should be the final destination, the legendary "Secret Church", where he would see the body of God.

Chu Xiao suddenly thought of Shi Koti. The secret in the church was what he had been looking for. Did she know about the Jazz's crazy plan? Did she know that a being beyond comprehension had come? No, the bigger premise was whether that cunning woman could survive the sacrifice ceremony of the [God].

Everyone outside the factory is a sacrifice offered by the knight to the Gods, but as a relative of the knight, Shikoti should not be treated so cruelly. Perhaps she has left the ship with Anna.

Chu Xiao's mind was filled with a mess of thoughts as he followed the crowd through a long corridor, as if they had walked through a winding maze. One security door after another opened in front of them. Then Chu Xiao discovered that the style of the corridor suddenly changed from a sci-fi metal style to a solemn decoration like that of Barlotti.

It seemed as if in just a moment, he had traveled through time and space.

Chapter 99 Invitation

Chu Yan's question suddenly made the atmosphere on the deck tense.

The way they looked at Aita was immediately filled with nervousness and distrust. After all, except for Ruan Mengmeng, it was the first time for the girls to meet Aita, and their understanding of her was limited to the introduction given by Ruan Mengmeng.

"Of course I am loyal to my master." Aita replied calmly.

"If it was the original maid, maybe so." Chu Yan said, "But after you wake up from your coma, you may not still be the original maid."

Eta's expression did not change, but Chu Yan's words surprised everyone.

Others may not notice it, but Chu Yan has an almost inexplicable sense of familiarity with Aita. If she must say, it is as if she has met a "sister" whom she has not seen for a long time. However, it is precisely because of this sense of familiarity that she can feel the strange sense of disharmony lingering around Aita.

"Perhaps, I really have some connection with that so-called god. I can hear things like auditory hallucinations from time to time these days." Chu Yan frowned. No one would like to have a strange voice in their head. "So, I can probably 'smell' something on you that shouldn't be there."

A vacuum appeared around Etta, and everyone consciously kept a distance from the maid.

When he came face to face with the [God] before, and the moment his consciousness connected with Aita's, something was indeed left in this body.

"…It's just a piece of information." The maid smiled, as if it was a standard formula, without deviation, like a mask, "I am not a personality, but a trace left in this carrier, and I need to borrow her personality to express it. Please rest assured that your companions are not injured, but are still sleeping soundly."

At this moment, the atmosphere around the maid suddenly changed. She still had no power at all, which was far from the terrifying power on the Nibelungen not far away, but no one dared to take her lightly.

The body of an ordinary person cannot bear the weight of a [God], otherwise Sir Lobelin would not have gone to such great lengths to create a "God's body". However, Aita happened to be a "by-product" of this plan. Although he also could not bear the thoughts of a [God], he could still retain a fleeting piece of information.

In other words, the Eta in front of us is a "message" left by the gods.

"What do you want to do?" The task of communicating with the gods naturally fell on Chu Yan.

"This is an invitation." "Aita" said so, still smiling, but exuding an inhuman feeling, "I invite you to attend a banquet that is about to begin."

"I already know about this, so there's probably no need for you to go into details."

Even when facing the information left by the [God], Chu Yan still maintained her aura of not being at a disadvantage.

"According to your human custom, an invitation in person shows that it is important enough."

"Why?" Chu Yan asked, "You are far more powerful than us, and you are even worthy of being called a 'god'. Why do you value us mortals so much?"

"Maybe it's because the way you struggle is very interesting." This was the answer from the [God], his calm tone was filled with malice that made people feel cold. No, it was not malice, but a condescending indifference, like the laughter of a child playing with ants.

The atmosphere on the deck was tense. Gu Ke had even drawn his pistol, and Ruan Mengmeng had already pulled out a section of her long sword. But perhaps because of the pressure from the [God] right before their eyes, their eyes seemed to be shaken.

"Please don't be nervous. My presence won't affect anything. I'm just a piece of information, completely independent of the main body." "Aita" seemed very calm, turning a blind eye to the hostility of the crowd. "Besides, I can provide you with enough information. As for the safety of the owner of this body, please don't worry. After this piece of information dissipates, she will naturally return to normal."

"What if... we reject this invitation?" The person who asked this question was An Suxin.

"Aita" looked at An Suxin and smiled, "Will it?"

It can be said that he is worthy of being the "God" hidden in people's hearts. He easily grasped the girls' psychology and knew what was most important to them at the moment.

"Okay, let's continue this game." "Aita" still had a smile on his face, but the inhuman feeling of oppression slowly receded. "Excuse me, is there anything else you want to know, ladies?"

With just such a moment of change, she really seems to be still that ignorant maid.

"I have another question, and I hope to get an answer," An Suxin asked at this time. The secretary looked at Etta, as if she wanted to see someone hidden behind Etta's eyes. "Sir Lobelin spent a huge price to create the body of the [God] in order to resurrect his wife, and studied the method of bringing the [God] to the world... Is this really just his own will?"

……

As the most important facility on the Nibelungen, this church gave people an extremely depressing feeling. Chu Xiao felt that it had been filled with something invisible. The moment he walked in here, he actually had a feeling of drowning in the ocean.

Chu Xiao was escorted by a group of people through a church hall that looked unexpectedly plain and monotonous.

The number of staff here is obviously much smaller than that in the android factory, but this place is the real core location of the Nibelungen.

Somewhere here, the body of the [God] is stored.

"What are you looking at?" Dr. Adrian, who looked crazy, suddenly asked. He almost came close to him, and Chu Xiao could clearly see the bright red bloodshot in his eyes.

"nothing."

This doctor made him feel very uncomfortable, and subconsciously he wanted to stay away from him.

"Humph, I've already applied to the Bishop. When the ceremony is over, your body will be mine!" Dr. Adrian seemed very excited. "I've already figured out how to use your body!"

Damn, this guy still hasn’t given up on sending him to the dissection table.

"What if I survive?" Chu Xiao asked.

"How is this possible? I've already calculated that the probability of you surviving is 0. It's 0. Do you understand? It's impossible for you to survive!" Adrian stressed, "How could I be wrong? My calculations can't be wrong!"

"Okay, Doctor!" Angelo stopped Adrian, "Now is not the time for you to go crazy! There is not much time left before the final stage of the ceremony. Don't forget to delay Mr. Sir's important matter."

The instruments and equipment for the final stage of the ceremony still needed to be debugged by Adrian. Since it involved the gods, they dared not be careless.

As for Chu Xiao, he was locked up in the small dark room by Angelo again. Compared with the white room, this room was much smaller and darker. The two guards were still guarding the door. Chu Xiao would wait here for the final ceremony.

However, when Angelo left and Chu Xiao was about to look for other opportunities, one of the guards guarding the door suddenly attacked his companion!

He moved extremely quickly and without any warning, breaking the opponent's neck in just one move.

Then, the guard opened the door of the room where Chu Xiao was imprisoned and taunted Chu Xiao: "I have been teaching you for so long, and you are just going to stay here and wait to die?"

It was clearly a man's face, but it sounded like the voice of a beautiful woman that Chu Xiao was very familiar with.

Chapter 100 Escape

Chu Xiao was stunned at first, but he quickly remembered that this woman, Shi Kodi, did have a disguise skill comparable to that in martial arts novels, and the original "Zheng Wei" was very different from Shi Kodi's true appearance.

"Can you even play the role of a man?" Chu Xiao couldn't help but move his gaze to Shikoti's chest - how did she hide those two big lumps?

"Is this what you're focusing on?" A voice like Shikoti came out of a man's mouth, and the sense of disobedience was really strong. "Do you still want to leave here?"

Shi Koti opened Chu Xiao's handcuffs and threw the dead guard's weapon to Chu Xiao: "Now, we can continue to cooperate."

Chu Xiao stretched his numb wrist and took the guard's weapon. Perhaps considering not to hurt Chu Xiao's life, this gun was not one of the common ones Chu Xiao used. According to Shi Koti's explanation, this was an electric shock gun. Although it was a non-lethal weapon, it would immediately make the person lose the ability to move.

"Hurry up, they'll notice you've escaped soon."

Chu Xiao knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and now was not the time to question Shi Koti. But Chu Xiao was still in a dilemma when leaving the small dark room where he was imprisoned.

This is the core area at the bottom of the Nibelungen. Although it is called the "Church", it is more like a huge and closed maze. For Chu Xiao, except for barely remembering the way he came, the entire church area is completely dark.

As for Shikoti...

This woman's previous purpose was to find this mysterious church. Although no one knows when she changed her identity, this should be her first time to come to this church.

Returning the original route was a very tempting option for Chu Xiao, but the problem was that Chu Xiao didn't think that Shi Koti came to rescue him specifically in order to let him leave the ship.

——The relationship between them is far from being this close.

Even though they had not been together for a long time, Chu Xiao knew what kind of person Shi Koti was. No matter how harmonious their relationship had been before, his true relationship with Shi Koti could turn into hostility at any time when there was no common interest support.

"Go this way first." Shikoti found a direction and led Chu Xiao to the depths of the church.

Unlike Chu Xiao's expectations, the terrain in the Shikoti Church did not seem so unfamiliar, and the direction of movement was quite clear, and it did not seem like they were running around everywhere. "They should have discovered that you had escaped by now. Going back would be like walking into a trap."

Shikoti did not take off her disguise, and she still looked like an ordinary young man. Her original appearance was too dazzling, and even a glance from a distance was enough to catch the attention of others.

"Be careful to avoid surveillance. If you don't want to be caught by them, you'd better follow closely and don't run around."

It must be said that Shikoti was extremely professional in this regard. She could always easily find the location of the surveillance and find the blind spots of the surveillance in a very short time. Thanks to Shikoti, at least so far, despite the footsteps of soldiers running around everywhere, the two of them were still like fish hiding under the sand, and no trace was found.

The entire church area is filled with luxurious and solemn decorations in the Baroque style. The ceiling is painted with murals in various religious styles. The painted glass lets in light from an unknown source, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere. Walking back and forth between the corridors and stairs, one feels as if he or she is traveling through the Renaissance era, and has a sense of time and space confusion.

In order to avoid the approaching guards, Shikoti took Chu Xiao into a small compartment - a very common facility in the church, called a confessional or confession room. In many stories Chu Xiao had read, this kind of confessional room would often become a place for plotting or encountering.

The soldiers' footsteps gradually faded away, and the two men in the narrow confessional looked at each other.

For Chu Xiao now, this degree of darkness could not block his vision, and he could clearly see Shi Koti's face at the moment. Although he knew that under her mediocre appearance, there was an exquisite beauty, but being in a narrow space with a "man" still made him feel very uncomfortable.

Shikoti's disguise was perfect, and even at such a close distance, it was difficult to find any flaws. Chu Xiao was secretly glad that the face in front of him was not Shikoti's exquisite, enchanting mixed-race beauty, otherwise he would have found it difficult to remain calm.

It’s not that Chu Xiao lacks self-control, but he knows very well that Shikoti’s “beauty” is enough to be used as a “weapon”, but this woman does not seem to like her God-given “weapon”.

"Now you have time to talk to me, can you?" Chu Xiao asked in a low voice, "Why did you save me?"

This time, Shi Koudi glanced at Chu Xiao. Although his eyebrows and eyes were ordinary after the disguise, at this moment he revealed some of his original elegance: "I said at the beginning that this is another cooperation, or mutual use."

Both parties have a very clear understanding of their relationship with each other, or in other words, they still maintain a fragile cooperative relationship while being wary of each other.

"Now that it has come to this, I hope you can be frank. You proposed cooperation before just to use me to find this church. Now that you have successfully achieved your goal, could you please tell me what exactly you want to get here?" Chu Xiao asked in a deep voice. Since it was a cooperation, he didn't want to be used like a tool without knowing what it was. At least he had to know what this woman's purpose was, otherwise he might not even know when he was sold out.

"Although being too curious is not a good thing, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?" Although the expression on the fake face was not obvious, Chu Xiao could imagine the smirk on Shi Koti's enchanting face.

"I will make my own judgment." Chu Xiao said, not wanting to be at a disadvantage in momentum.

Chu Xiao already knew that Shi Koti belonged to another bishop of the church, and that bishop was named "Simon". Although the two sides were not so exaggerated as hostile forces, Bishop Simon and Sir Lobelin had a very bad personal relationship. At the same time, due to the difference in concepts between the two factions, there were also some frictions and differences between the two factions.

"...I think you should understand this. It's a common problem among humans." Shikoti shrugged, showing disdain for the power struggle within the cult.

Since Sir Lobelin's behavior after the disaster attracted the attention of Bishop Simon, Simon had sent Shikoti to investigate what the knight was up to. Because Shikoti was related to Sir Lobelin by blood, he was given certain authority on the Nibelungen even though he knew that the other party was from a "hostile force".

She successfully investigated the "secret space" in the artificial human factory and also realized Sir Lobelin's purpose of resurrecting his deceased wife.

However, before Chu Xiao appeared, her investigation had come to a standstill and she was unable to make any progress.

It was not until now that she used Chu Xiao to sneak into the real core area of ​​the ship and learned about the crazy "feat" that the Jazz was performing.

"I was originally scheduled to go with Anna and the others, but I took some time to stay here." Shikoti shrugged, her movements were quite playful, but coupled with her current "disguise", it made people feel very weird. "As for what I should do now... Since I already know what my uncle is doing, my goal naturally becomes the most important achievement on this ship."

She paused for a moment, her eyes filled with calm madness: "The body of the [God]."

Chapter 101 Cooperation

Perhaps because he already had some understanding of Shikoti's character, Chu Xiao was not surprised at all when he heard the other party's real purpose. He even thought, "As expected."

"Such a dangerous action...why do you think I will help you?" Chu Xiao didn't want to have anything to do with that [God]. This kind of action was so dangerous that he just wanted to stay away from it.

"Do you think you have a choice?" Since Shi Kou Di chose to rescue Chu Xiao, she was sure that she could control the man in front of her. "At least in this matter, our interests are the same. After all, you don't want to die, right? Or your precious sister is being targeted by the cult?"

The reality is just as Shikodi said. Chu Xiao really doesn't have much choice in this matter. Not to mention that Shikodi still holds the card of "Chu Yan" in his hand. Now he is basically trapped in this church. Without Shikodi's help, it is simply a pipe dream for him to escape from this hellhole by himself.

"My goal would be to take away the physical body of God. If that is not possible, then the next best thing is to destroy it before he descends into the physical body!" Shikoti's tone was calm, but what he said was fierce.
