Chapter 1018, Sun Cult
Chapter 1018, Sun Cult
Island owner's mansion.
The flames gradually died down, and Wu Heng walked out from the center of the furnace.
The heat rising from his body distorted the air, and the winding runes on his skin fell off and onto the ground as he walked.
Wu Heng clenched his fists and could clearly feel that the strength of his bones had indeed improved, but there might still be some distance to go before he could break through to the second stage.
Two furnaces not far away were still burning.
Viola sat cross-legged on the left side, her skin covered with blood-colored runes, constantly absorbing the heat energy from the surroundings.
On the right, Xilagui was sitting cross-legged, wearing the beach pants and a small vest that Wu Heng gave her. Her cold white skin was also covered with runes, as if it was coated with a layer of honey by the firelight.
Looking at it this way, Xilagui's skin is really white, very milky white.
Wu Heng stood at a distance and watched, unable to help much, so he walked into the living room.
Minnie and Robbe came over with towels, dusted him off, and sat down in the living room.
The queen asked, "How was your day?"
"There's nothing special about it. The second stage will be more difficult." Wu Heng took the herbal tea and took a sip.
When I was studying the first stage, I received a system prompt the next day.
This time of strengthening bones with evil spirits has been going on for the third day.
The queen nodded and said, "The second stage is inherently more difficult, but for you, half a month should be enough for you to break through."
"Let me borrow your good words!"
"I have already handed over the first stage of rune drawing methods to the skeleton rune master." The empress looked at the 'stove' outside the window, "In the future, when they practice, just let the skeletons draw them."
Wu Heng continued, "It's better to leave it to the skeleton, in case we go out and no one helps them."
If you go to the zombie world or leave Treasure Island.
The Queen Mother has no way to draw runes for them, so it’s better to hand it over to the Skeleton Rune Master, who can draw them at any time in the future.
As they were talking, Xiaoxiao and Benny flew back.
"It's so lively outside!" Xiao Xiao said, gesticulating excitedly, "Everyone is talking about Aunt Viola becoming a hero, and saying that they are not afraid of the Vatican coming again."
Penny also said, "The bards in the tavern are also praising Viola. The enthusiasm is quite high."
Because she is always checking her phone in the zombie world, Benny starts to speak more and more like a modern person.
It also uses heat.
As the two souls spoke, the other women also came over.
They didn't go out in the morning, so they were a little curious about what was going on outside.
Xiao Xiao continued, "I also heard that a few people were discussing writing a letter to the Chamber of Commerce, suggesting resuming cooperation with Treasure Island!"
Wu Heng listened to what Erhun said and nodded.
The sensation was expected.
Not to mention Treasure Island, once the newspaper is delivered to various places, it will definitely cause a certain amount of heat.
Viola's promotion was like a pawn suddenly crossing the river on the chessboard, forcing all the waiting forces to re-examine the game.
Shannella leaned back on the sofa and said, "By next week at the latest, more representatives from the Chamber of Commerce will come to our door with gifts to save the chance of cooperation."
"Humph!" Philippa took a big bite of the apple. "You ran faster than anyone else back then, and now you want to come back and take advantage of the situation?"
Shannella smiled and said, "We really can't let them come back to take advantage of the situation. The agreement we signed with the consortium includes exclusive sales rights in the region. They won't be able to get the goods even if they come back."
Philippa continued, "It's okay to sell some to them. I can pretend to be a pirate on the route and take the goods back."
Xiao Xiao said in surprise, "Wow, this is the legendary case of thieves eating thieves."
"What do you mean by thieves robbing thieves? It's just normal robbery," Philippa corrected.
Wu Heng glanced at the two funny guys and said, "I'm going to take a shower and go out for a while. Xiaoxiao, don't run around."
"I know~!" Xiaoxiao agreed.
Wu Heng got up and went upstairs. The maids rested for a while and went to the training room, while the ghosts returned to the study.
After taking a comfortable shower and changing clothes.
Back to the study.
He glanced at the ghosts who were gathered together watching a TV show and said, "Let's go to the zombie world."
"I thought he was going on a long journey!" Xiaoxiao muttered.
"There's nothing to do recently, so why go on a long journey?" Wu Heng said.
Xiaoxiao floated over and said, "We haven't gone out to play for a long time."
"Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go see our sister. If we don't go now, she'll be going to kindergarten. What will she do if she doesn't recognize us?"
"How can it be so fast!" Wu Heng thought for a while and said, "If there's nothing else to do in a few days, let's go over and take a look."
"Okay!" Xiaoxiao agreed and got into her body.
After the other three ghosts also entered the body, Wu Heng opened the door and walked in.
……
Zombie world, monitoring room.
Walk out of the gate and release all four ghosts.
"Uncle, give us the phone so we can see what people are talking about in the forum." Wu Heng took out the doll and the phone, one for each of them, and they gathered together to watch the forum.
On Wu Heng's side, he glanced at the surveillance camera in front of him and saw a skeleton in a robe standing upright in the guard's room on the first floor.
They are dressed completely differently from the skeleton guards who are on duty.
"Xiaoxiao." Wu Heng said to the back.
"What's the matter?" Xiaoxiao turned around and looked over.
Wu Heng pointed at the skeleton on the screen and said, "Bring it up here."
"Oh!" Xiaoxiao agreed, broke away from the puppet, and disappeared through the floor in the form of a ghost.
Not long after, Xiaoxiao returned and there was a knock on the door, followed by a tall skeleton walking in.
He was wearing a dark blue robe, his body was straight, and soul fire was flickering in his empty eye sockets.
[Spirit Mage (Level 20)]
Master of the Corpse, it seems that Li Yahong has sent another Pope's skeleton.
"Who is it?" Xiao Xiao possessed the puppet again and looked at it curiously.
"Corn Sword Saint No. 2, the Pope Skeleton that was sent for upgrade last time." Wu Heng said speechlessly, "You even forgot the name you gave it."
"Ah!" Xiao Xiao suddenly realized and walked around. "Juggernaut No. 20, is it level ?"
"Level 20."
Xiao Xiao controlled the puppet, jumped up, patted the skeleton on the shoulder, and praised: "Not bad! Much better than other skeletons."
The other three puppets on the side also turned their heads to look over.
Especially the Empress, who only realized at this time what Xiaoxiao meant by "brushing" skeletons in batches.
It turns out that the Vatican heroes are used as a method to replenish skeletons.
The more you understand, the more exaggerated it becomes.
After watching "Sword Master No. 2", the ghosts continued to browse their phones, and Wu Heng also took out his phone.
As I took it out, a ding-dong sounded and a text message came.
Wu Heng unlocked his phone and saw that it was a message from Li Yahong.
When the phone call is not connected, Li Yahong usually sends a text message first to convey some information.
The first message was, "The skeleton has been sent back to you."
Next, continue to open the second message, which is about the "Sun Cult" mentioned last time.
"The Sun Cult is located in the Principality of Andorra in the southwest. The leader is called 'Adrian Morton'. I heard that he was originally a psychology professor. After the apocalypse, he received God's revelation and created the Sun Cult."
Below the text, there is a photo.
It is a pattern, a golden sun, surrounded by simplified lines of light.
Wu Heng frowned instantly and carefully identified the pattern.
At first glance, it looks a bit like the holy light pattern of the Church in another world, or a simplified version.
It can’t be such a coincidence!
Wu Heng frowned, and then shouted behind him: "Come and take a look."
The four ghosts who were browsing the phone came over, formed a circle, and looked at the phone screen.
"The symbol of the Holy See?" Glinda said, "Two lines of light are missing from the edge."
The pattern of the Holy See's holy light is a sun wheel surrounded by seven layers of light, symbolizing God's omniscience and immortal glory.
The pattern in front of me is missing two lines of light.
But the appearance and structure are basically the same.
"Why is this here?" the queen also asked.
Wu Heng briefly explained to Jihun the Sun Cult mentioned by Li Yahong.
After listening, everyone fell silent.
This is not good news. If the zombie world is related to the Holy See, it will give people the feeling that their hometown has been tampered with.
"Could it be a coincidence?" Benny asked.
Xiao Xiao said, "The pictures are similar, how can it be a coincidence?"
"Let's go over and take a look. The other party is a small church, so it's unlikely to be the Vatican. If they really are related, it would be better to resolve it in advance." Wu Heng said, picking up his phone and calling Li Yahong.
After two rings, the line was connected, and Li Yahong's voice came from the other end, "Hey! Did you see the Swordmaster No. 2 that I sent over?"
"I saw it." Wu Heng continued, "Tell me about the Sun Cult. How is it now?"
"It's still the same! They spread their words on forums and world channels, but few people believe them, and even more people curse them." Li Yahong said with a smile.
With the establishment of the Sun Cult, the most dangerous time had passed.
They have only just started to spread this theory about God, and modern netizens will certainly not tolerate them.
"Didn't you show any special abilities?" Wu Heng continued to ask.
"Ah? No! I still need to trade food in the market. What special abilities do I have? If I have any, I'm just an ordinary psychic." Li Yahong continued.
The Sun Cult is considered to be a complete fraud organization.
Glenda said, "Let's go and have a look. It's just a short trip."
Wu Heng nodded and continued to ask on the phone, "What is the scale of the base?"
“I heard it’s a small base of more than a hundred people. If the people inside had real abilities, it wouldn’t be this large.” Li Yahong looked down upon this base.
"Prepare the plane, I'll go over there." Wu Heng said directly.
"You're going there in person? There's no need."
"It's okay, just go and check the situation, it won't take long."
Li Yahong didn't say much and continued, "Are we leaving today?"
"Go today."
"I will arrange a plane for you now, and then I will use satellite to accurately locate you and tell you the exact location of the base." Li Yahong said thoughtfully.
"Okay!" and hung up the phone.
Wu Heng got up and took the ghosts out to the airport.
……
The plane was flying through thick clouds, and outside the window was a rolling sea of gray fog.
Inside the cabin, Wu Heng sat in a chair, with more detailed information sent by Li Yahong on his mobile phone.
'Adrian Morton', 42, a former psychology professor, claimed to have received a revelation in a dream about a month ago.
The core doctrine is that only those who believe in the sun god can survive the doomsday catastrophe.
"How's it going? Any new news?" Glenda looked over.
In the seats next to them, Xiaoxiao and Benny were browsing the forum, and the queen was watching TV series. Only Glenda seemed to be quite concerned about this matter.
"There is no new information, except that the other party received divine revelation in a dream a month ago." Wu Heng replied.
"Mental problems?"
"That's possible. The pressure in the end times is quite great."
Grinda thought for a moment and continued, "If it is really related to the Vatican, it would be quicker to act."
"Okay!" Wu Heng nodded.
……
The plane landed on the dilapidated runway, and the tires made a screeching sound.
The hatch opened and Wu Heng strode down.
Outside, several officials in faded uniforms walked up quickly.
But after walking over, he glanced at Wu Heng, then looked at the hatch behind him, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Just one person coming from Yama Palace?
In the end times, how dare such a person run around?
"Welcome to Andorra." The leader smiled and extended his hand.
Wu Heng shook hands with him and said in English: "Thank you!"
The two of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries.
Wu Heng went straight into the main map, "Our deputy leader, I should have told you that I want to go to the Sun Cult."
The official immediately took out a tablet and circled a place with his finger, "Here, they took in a lot of desperate criminals."
The location the other party mentioned was the same as the one shared by Li Yahong, so it didn't seem to be a secret.
It sounds like there's more to it than just religion.
"Leave the plane here for now, I'll go over and take a look." Wu Heng said.
The other party hesitated and said, "It's not easy to contact them over there. I suggest you communicate with them via radio."
"No, there are some things I need to confirm." Wu Heng said.
The officer's forehead was sweating. "I'll give you a team of armored vehicles! Enough to deter those guys."
"I can go there by myself, don't worry!" Wu Heng smiled.
Seeing that he could not persuade the man, the official could only say: "This is my number. I have the armored vehicles on standby to rescue in time if there is any danger."
This is someone from the Yama Palace.
If I really died here, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to the other side.
Food, supplies and serum all depend on Yama Palace.
Wu Heng nodded in agreement and left the base directly.
After walking for a distance, Wu Heng activated the [Mansion Technique] and released the Skeleton Shanshan, who rode on his back and quickly flew towards the destination.
On the way, Granda said, "It seems that we have overthought it. If it is really related to the Holy See, it can't be so tragic."
Not to mention it really has something to do with gods.
Even a normal professional in the Holy See shouldn't end up in such a miserable state.
According to what the base official just said, it is almost being designated as a terrorist gathering place.
"Then our trip would have been in vain." Xiao Xiao flew on his back, his tone somewhat regretful.
The queen smiled and said, "It's a good thing that there is nothing."
After flying for a while, the barbed wire fence in front gradually became clear.
The crooked steel plate was covered with sun totems. Several sentries with guns on their backs were eating something, completely unaware of the figure flying quickly in the air.
