With this belief in mind, Natalie walked into the door in front of her. She could feel that she was getting closer to the truth.

Sure enough, after entering the room, Natalie found that it seemed to be some kind of prison cell. There were many independent small cells next to each other. Most of the cells contained crazy half-orcs, but there was one cell that seemed a bit special.

It was a woman wearing a white coat with eyes and a strange helmet on top of her head, only her appearance was normal.Anxiously walking back and forth in the cell.

Chapter 197: Chapter 33 The Truth

"Huh? You..."

When she saw Natalie approaching, the woman in the cell immediately noticed something was wrong with her, raised her hand and pointed at Natalie in surprise and said, "You haven't been brainwashed, have you?"

"Brainwashing? What brainwashing?" Natalie's answer was a disguised admission of her state. After hearing this sentence, the woman in the prison jumped up excitedly.

"Great! Now I'm finally saved!"

"Don't be too happy, tell me what happened? Why are the people here crazy?"

"This is the church's secret, so I can't tell you."

"Really?" Natalie raised her eyebrows, and the next second the expression of the woman in the opposite cell suddenly became terrified. Both hands tore at her mouth, desperately opening her mouth to the maximum, and then it was covered with blood. Bloody hands protruded from her mouth.

Under the woman's horrified eyes, this hand grabbed her neck.

"Give you ten seconds to think about it and tell me the truth, or I will strangle you to death. Anyway, I can resurrect your body and become a puppet that I can control at will. You will tell me whatever I want to know. "

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" the woman yelled, from her eyes Natalie could see that this person's psychological defense had collapsed.

So Natalie didn't torture her too much, she withdrew the blood magic and let the bloody hand dissipate.

"Can I talk now?"

"You, what is the relationship between you and that blood race... It's really strange, you blood races are so strange."

"Blood race? Is it the one you captured before? How is she doing now?"

"How is it? Very good, everything here is thanks to her."

"What do you mean, speak clearly, I can smell you lying, so if you tell half a lie, then I will crush you to death."

Natalie is just scaring, she will not casually kill her compatriots, or former compatriots.

"Okay! Here's the thing, we've developed a brainwashing device"

The woman gave a general description of the device researched by the church.

"In the beginning we used contact brainwashing, but after countless improvements, we can already rely on soul stones for remote brainwashing."

"Soul Stone." Natalie murmured these words.

She knows what a soul stone is. There are many elemental stones with different attributes in this world. They are important materials for making staffs or magic circles. As long as runes are carved on the stones, the corresponding magic can be released.

Moreover, high-quality elemental stones can automatically replenish magic power, which means that after a period of time, they can continue to release magic.

And soul magic does not belong to any type of elemental magic, so there is no elemental stone that can be used to release soul magic, only soul stones can do this.

"We used the soul stone to make something called the seal of God, and engraved a large number of soul magic runes on it, and used it to release the magic of remote brainwashing."

"..." Natalie listened to this, but she didn't feel any experience at all, because in her opinion, the Holy See seemed to be able to do this kind of thing.

"But then I discovered that as the number of people brainwashed by Shenyin increased, Shenyin began to produce self-awareness."

"self conscious?"

"That's right, every person who has been brainwashed by the God Seal will have her soul linked to the God Seal for a period of time. During this process, all the thoughts and emotions of the brainwashed person will enter the God Seal through the link. Although these emotions will disappear after the link, there will be a little bit of residue. Over time, more and more people are brainwashed, and more and more residual emotions will be accumulated. After a certain degree of accumulation and integration, self-awareness will be produced."

Natalie couldn't understand what the woman said, because after all, it was not within the scope of her knowledge.

"Why does Shenyin have consciousness without a brain?"

"The soul doesn't have a brain, does it? The human body is just a vehicle for the soul, and it is the soul that controls it. Although the God Seal has no life, its essence is the soul stone. You should know that this stone can not only use the soul Magic can also be used to store souls. Those who are connected with it will more or less have a trace of remnant souls remaining in the soul stone, and eventually evolve their own thinking."

"What does its awakening of self-awareness have to do with all this?"

"The self-awareness of Shenyin has been full of violence, anger, and many other negative emotions since the moment it was born."

"why?"

"Because..." The woman hesitated at this point, but she was afraid of Natalie's power, so she could only tell the truth: "Because most people are in pain during brainwashing, so their emotions at that time It is the emotion touched by the seal of God."

The divine seal is just an empty jar, and any emotion thrown into it will give birth to the consciousness of that emotion. Almost every brainwashed person is feeling pain, so the divine seal is naturally in contact with the consciousness of pain.

The negative emotions that people have when they are in pain also naturally enter the divine seal.

"In order to prevent terrible things from happening, we put many restrictions on the seal of God, so that people who are brainwashed by it can only believe in the God of Light, put aside all killing and struggle, and create a beautiful world. With this restriction, the negative emotions in the seal of God can no longer affect the brainwashed. And we will regularly clean up the consciousness of the seal of God until...we find the vampire."

"We underestimated her, underestimated the vampire's desire for blood. We brainwashed her when she was the hungriest, her obsession with blood, the bloodthirsty buried in her bones, and the emotions that surpassed ordinary people a hundred times were suddenly connected to the God Seal. She was successfully brainwashed, but the God Seal was also strongly affected."

"The obsession obtained from that blood race made it lower than the cleansing of the consciousness of the divine sense, and it became smarter. It learned to hide itself until it found a chance to detonate everything."

Hearing this, Natalie almost understood that the god seal brainwashed that vampire, and that vampire also affected the god seal in turn.

"The restrictions we impose on the seal of God cannot be changed. People who have been brainwashed will still think about creating a better world, but the method will change a lot."

"Can you stop all of this?" Natalie said suppressing her anger. The Holy See is beyond Natalie's imagination. All of this is caused by the greed of the Holy See, and innocent people will die for it.

If it wasn't for saving the innocent, Natalie wouldn't care about this mess.

"People who have been brainwashed can't be saved. The only thing you can do now is to prevent the situation from expanding. I blocked this place, but this is only temporary. If you let the seal of God connect to your body, then this city, no! The country will be reduced to purgatory!"

"Ontology?"

"That's right, the seal of God is just a part of a huge soul stone, and just this small piece, the range of magic it emits is enough to cover half of the city."

Chapter 198: Chapter 34 The Morning Star Appears

After a brief conversation, Natalie gradually understood the truth of the matter. The reason why such a large-scale church was built in such a small city was because the Holy See had discovered precious soul stone minerals deep underground in this city.

When these minerals were discovered, the Holy See made a plan for a brainwashing device, and thus built this church.It appears to be a church, but it is actually a human laboratory of the Holy See.

Now the experiment has been basically completed, but no one expected such a result, the god seal made of soul stone produced self-awareness, and it controlled everyone in this church.

But this is just the beginning. Before this, the church has used the soul stone minerals here to make a huge god seal, but this god seal is too large to be convenient for experiments.Therefore, a small divine seal is needed for the experiment. Under the initial shooting, as long as the experiment is completed, then the small divine seal can be embedded in the large divine seal, and then the maximum effect can be exerted.

"You must stop all this! Otherwise, people in this country will be affected. People who are not strong-willed will become bloodthirsty monsters, and even those who are determined will become lunatics, just like those paladins. They will kill all people who are not brainwashed."

The reason why this woman was not brainwashed was entirely because of the helmet she wore on her head, which blocked the brainwashing signal of the God Seal. In order to avoid those lunatics, she had no choice but to lock herself in this cage.

"Where is that huge god seal?"

"Fifty floors underground here."

"Fifty? How many floors have you built?" Natalie only went down to the tenth floor. She thought this was the limit, but she didn't expect it to be much deeper than she imagined.

"There are a total of [-] floors, and the huge god seal alone occupies [-] floors. A basketball-sized god seal can brainwash the people of half a city. I don't need to go to the range that the huge god seal can affect. What more can I say? I will draw a map for you, and she will point out the location of the God Seal."

"I see."

Natalie can imagine that if the small god seal is combined with the big god seal, the consequences will definitely be disastrous.

"..." The woman hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The deeper you go underground, the stronger the impact you will receive. You... I don't know what you rely on to get here. But if you go further down, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the brainwashing energy. Wear this?"

The woman pointed to her helmet: "This thing can block the ripples of brainwashing."

"Then what do you do? Didn't you say that once you are brainwashed, you can't return to normal?"

"This is what I deserve. I presided over this experiment. I just want to create a beautiful world without darkness, but I didn't expect such a result in the end. Please stop this."

After all, the woman took off her helmet and handed it out through the gap in the iron door of the cell.Then her expression became painful: "I didn't expect... I would be brainwashed by something I created... I will, I will become a slave of God's Seal."

After all, the woman slammed her head against the iron door, and with a muffled sound, she fell down slowly with blood on her forehead.

Looking at the woman's body, Natalie's mood was a bit complicated. She said she was a bad guy, but she had the consciousness to save everything, and said she was a good person, but all of this was caused by her.

"Oh... may your soul be at ease." After that, Natalie picked up the helmet on the ground, and according to the information on the map, Natalie resolutely went deep underground.

But not long after she left, the woman who had just fallen to the ground slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the direction Natalie was leaving with a sly smile.

"Master, according to your instructions, she already knows all of this. In your words, this is the mission npc, right?"

There was no one around the woman, as if she was talking to herself.But soon, a trace of black liquid emerged from Liya's ear, and then the liquid stretched and stretched, and finally formed a human shape.

"Well... finally I can move my body." Chen Xing stretched his limbs and twisted his slender waist.

"Hmm, I didn't expect that the chief scientific officer here is also called Liya. It seems that people with this name like to do research~"

This woman is Liya, who was arranged by Morning Star to guide Natalie here.As for the tragic situation here, it is not entirely because of Morning Star.

Just like what Liya said before, the reason for all this is that the church's experiment was too extreme, which caused the god seal to produce self-consciousness. The existence of the morning star is just a catalyst, which accelerated this process.

But who told the church to catch vampires?Chen Xing, who successfully broke into this place, acted as the inner ghost, allowing Liya to enter here smoothly.Now that the church has completely fallen, Morning Star naturally doesn't need to worry about the presence of darkness discovered by the paladins here.

"Master, don't you want to brainwash that person?"

"No need for now, if she can complete all these trials, then there is no need for brainwashing."

All of this is Morning Star's test for Liya. If Natalie is a guardian, then Natalie is no longer at the same level as the Elf Queen, so she needs to get the blood ancestor's inheritance, but not everyone can be recognized by Morning Star casually.

The reason why Chenxing wants to test Natalie is because Chenxing likes Natalie's will before, so she wants to try this girl.

If Natalie didn't have this qualification, then Morning Star could only turn her into the same existence as other slaves.

"Master, the brainwashing here doesn't affect you, does it?"

The reason why Liya knew all this was because she ate the church science officer with the same name as her and got the memory of the other party.

"Depending on the situation, if it's just my soul, then it's easy to be brainwashed. Because my soul is not strong, but if it is wrapped in dark matter, then nothing can affect it."

To put it simply, Chen Xing is now like a tortoise. Her soul is fragile, but there is a hard turtle shell of dark matter outside, so any magic attack on the soul has no effect on her.

"Master, if you don't brainwash that guy, even if she passes the test, she won't be loyal to you?"

"Don't worry, you will know when the time comes, I will definitely make this girl loyal to me."

The queen's allegiance brought confidence to Chen Xing. Leaving aside the remaining soul of the blood ancestor in the blood gem, even without this thing, Chen Xing thought of a way to make Natalie loyal to him.

Chapter 199: Chapter 35 Dead Space

Maybe it was because the guardian had left a thought, or simply wanted his successor to be more loyal to the master of darkness.

Therefore, every guardian inheritance has the remnant soul of the guardian of the past. After the remnant soul is fused with the successor, the successor will get some memories, emotions, and a full set of skills of the guardian of the past. This is why Natalie can use blood magic at will now.

Of course, due to incomplete fusion, the memories and emotions of the past guardians have not yet entered Natalie's soul. Change her, just subconsciously affect it a little bit.

But this is enough for Chen Xing, because the blood ancestor is not strictly a dark creature, and is fundamentally different from the little dragon girl or the blackened elf queen, so she will not be as instinctive as those dark creatures A sense of obedience to the master of darkness.

But with the inheritance of the blood ancestor's consciousness, this will change. The only thing that cannot be confirmed now is whether the blood ancestor in the past was really loyal?

"Should be loyal, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have died fighting to protect the past me."

Chen Xing chose to believe in the blood ancestor, and she also likes Natalie's personality. If she can be loyal to her, then Natalie will definitely be an excellent subordinate.

"Let's go, let's go to a good show~" Chenxing took Liya's hand, and then pulled her into the shadows.

The blood race is only sensitive to flesh and blood, so after wrapping the flesh and blood in darkness, Natalie can't feel the existence of Chenxing and Liya at all, so they followed Natalie smoothly, watching Natalie's heroic performance from the shadows.

"I'm sorry everyone! In order to prevent the disaster from happening, I... can only take your lives!"

This time Natalie was not soft, because Liya said before that after being brainwashed, there is no possibility of being rescued. No matter what she said is true or not, now Natalie has no time to stun these people, so when she meets her opponent again, she directly uses her full strength.

Some scientific researchers were not her opponents at all. When the paladin appeared in front of Natalie, Natalie just raised her palm towards the opponent, and a blood-red magic circle appeared around her slender arms. Immediately afterwards, many blood thorns grew out of the body of the opposite paladin, bursting through their bodies.

The reason why it went so smoothly was that apart from Natalie's strength, the main reason was that the paladins had no experience in fighting blood races, not to mention that they were in a state of brainwashing and their spirits were very unstable, let alone fighting well.

The combination of various reasons made Natalie in a state of being crushed the whole time.But the smoother it went, the more uneasy she felt.

It turns out that Natalie was right. She found something very wrong. What about the people here?

From just now, Natalie only met some paladins and scientific researchers in white coats, but these were far from enough.

This huge building can accommodate thousands of people, not to mention the many slaves who were captured here.

But along the way, Natalie never saw these people at all.The passing rooms were all empty, and even the people who entered here with him before were gone.

"Eat it? It shouldn't be. It stands to reason that people who have been successfully brainwashed will not be attacked. Even if they are eaten, there should be residual corpses. No matter how brainwashed, they are still human in essence. It’s impossible to eat and wipe clean like a vampire.”

Natalie's doubts grew, and the closer she got to the ground, the more her head hurt.The helmet on the top of the head seemed to have reached its limit, and even the strange blood ruby ​​flickered as if it was about to run out of energy.
