Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

After a long while, he said, "I have a question... Do the people in this world really exist?"

Liu Yi took a deep look at Li Ang, as if he had seen through his inner thoughts, and said, "Although they were born in this false world, there is no doubt that they are all living people."

"It's okay if you don't want to find the key, but I have no intention of interfering with your decision." Liu Yi said lightly, but these words completely blocked the bold ideas in Li Ang's heart.

That's tens of millions of people... It's not just one or two people. Although Li Ang doesn't think he is a good person, he is not that bad. If it accidentally affects one or two people, then he may not care, but this But there are hundreds of thousands of people.

This really made Li Ang feel a lot of pressure.

He scratched his hair and said helplessly, "Okay...it seems I can only go there once. I hope that ghost hasn't woken up yet."

You have been staying at the police station peacefully for three months, so you can't wake up at this time, right?Li Ang is not unlucky enough yet.

"We'll talk about this later. Now tell me what the ceremony is? What preparations need to be made?"

Li Ang decided not to think about this troublesome matter for the time being, and in addition to finding the key, they also had to find a way to complete the ceremony of the Feather Festival.

He was so busy in the past two days that he didn't even have time to take a breath, so he didn't investigate what exactly the Hagoromo Matsuri was going to do.

"It's very simple. There are no special requirements, as long as the person who chooses the sacrifice meets the requirements."

"A sacrifice that meets the requirements..." Li Ang frowned.

Does this mean there are no special requirements?But there is no other way, now I can only do what Rui said.

"What's the request? I can go look for it."

"No need to go to so much trouble, there are sacrifices that meet the requirements right here," Liu Yi shook his head and said, "You and Miss Nauman are the sacrifices that best meet the requirements."

Chapter 91 Ceremony

Are he and Adele the most suitable sacrifices?

Hearing what Liu Yi said, Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her with a rather surprised look, "Are you serious?"

Using the two of them as sacrifices, isn't this just asking him and Adele to die... It's a shame that Liu Yi can say such a thing openly, and I don't know what she thinks.

Seeing the strange expression on Li Ang's face, Liu Yi knew that he was thinking wrong.

"You are overthinking. 'Sacrifice' is just a term that has been used forever. It doesn't matter what you want to call it," Liu Yi looked at Li Ang and explained calmly, "There is no need to sacrifice, and there is no need for you to do anything specially. What, just prepare the relevant props and follow the process of consciousness."

But this is not Li Ang’s problem. Throughout history, whenever the words ritual and sacrifice are related, the first thing people think of is definitely the words blood sacrifice and living sacrifice. This kind of ritual has been used throughout Thailand. It was not until the rise of Originium technology in modern times that this ancient bad habit gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

Rather, Hagoromo Daimyojin is one of the few outliers among the many gods. His rituals are essentially a blessing to the participants. From this aspect, he can be regarded as an out-and-out one. The good god.

But this is normal. Gods with malicious intentions towards humans may not survive this era. Dayan can accomplish the great feat of consecrating gods. Although other countries are not as powerful as Dayan, they can kill one or two with the whole country. It is not a problem to think of gods with malicious intentions towards humans.

Hagoromo Daimyojin is one of those people who has been missed. He has been hiding in this different space and playing SimCity for who knows how many years. No one will come to deliberately cause trouble for him. What happened now is purely unreasonable. Accident.

They have all hidden the entrance to Sagazaki City well enough, so there is no way it can be found.

After hearing Liu Yi's explanation, Li Ang still didn't believe it, and asked strangely, "It's that simple?"

The so-called ceremony seemed to only require her and Adele to walk around a fixed route without even moving... Could the ceremony be so simple?

"It's that simple," Liu Yi nodded and said calmly, "Of course, this ritual is only given meaning in this world."

After saying this, Li Ang understood everything. The so-called ritual was just a way to communicate with the great god, similar to...an encrypted alarm clock?Only the great god will respond to this ritual.

Now that the struggle between the Great Myoyo and the monster has reached its most critical moment, it is difficult to perceive changes in the outside world. Even Rui cannot contact the Great Myoyou. Only traditional rituals such as the Hagoromo Matsuri that have lasted for thousands of years can be performed here. This situation caused the great Mingshen to react.

This is a signal to Him, representing the beginning of the final attack.

Now the monster's body is blocking the exit of this world. It wants to escape from this world, but it is trapped here by the Great Ming Shen. If they don't get the cooperation of the Great Ming Shen, they will completely destroy the monster's body and they will not be able to open it. A passage to the outside world.

This is what Liu Yi has been planning all along. Even if she doesn't encounter an attack today, she will contact Li Ang after school, because they really don't have much time left.

After learning Liu Yi's full plan, Li Ang also made his own decision.

"Boom-"

The door opened, and Adele, Professor Valk, and Lin walked out with different expressions, interrupting the conversation between Li Ang and Liu Yi.

However, the two of them have basically said what they need to say, and what they haven't said is only some insignificant details. It doesn't matter if they don't ask.

After taking a look at the three of them, Li Ang could roughly guess what they just said from their expressions and the emotions they exuded.

Lin En's brows were frowning and relaxing at times, presumably because he was recalling his memories carefully. However, no ordinary person would have the chance to experience such a bizarre thing. Just sorting out the false memories implanted by the Great Ming God was enough for him to doubt his life. .

Although there was nothing special about Professor Valk's face, the emotions hidden in his heart were not calm at all, and the eyes he secretly looked at Rui were also full of complex emotions.

In this regard, Li Ang could only secretly apologize to his old man in his heart. Their time is very tight now and they really can't take care of the old man's mood. Anyway, after they leave this world, everything will return to normal. Before that, I can only ask the old man to bear with it.

Li Ang also asked Liu Yi why he didn't directly restore the memories of Professor Valk and Lin En, especially Lin En. He was a genius that was highly valued by the whole tower. If his memory could be restored, it would definitely be of great help.

But it's a pity that it can't be recovered.

Liu Yi has already explained that this kind of operation on memory is very dangerous. She can only prevent the memories of these two people from being affected by setting changes again and again, but there is no way to make them change back to their original state. Only the great god himself can Do something like this.

However... everyone knows the current state of the Great Ming Shen, so we can only make do with it like this for now.

After everyone gathered together again, they briefly discussed their next plan.

In the end, they decided to stay here and play defense.

Since they can't go to the police station, they can just stay here. The time they have to delay is only two days. Finding a safer place is a waste of time, and this place is actually not as good as Kumano said before. It's unbearable, and it can barely be used with a little modification.

This place... should be a replica of the family area of ​​William University in Professor Valk's memory. Both Leon and Adele saw many familiar things, which made them feel very nostalgic.

It had only been a little over a year, but that house had become very vague in their memories, and they didn't know what Gaota would do to their home after they left...

However, it will not be too late for them to go back one day and reckon with everything the tower has done to them.

At this time, Kumano was directing his soldiers to reinforce some weak places in the entire house, and at the same time asked others to send them enough supplies to last for a while.

Among the busy crowd, Li Ang thought for a moment. Li Ang knocked his hands and said,

"Then without further ado, I'll set off now."

Chapter 92 Night Detective Bureau

It was getting late, and the time when those aberrant monsters launched their attack was close to noon. By the time the disciplinary army had cleaned up the remaining aberrations in the campus, the sun was almost setting.

There are dark clouds outside, and now there is no light outside. Kumano's soldiers can only be divided into three groups, relying on infrared night vision devices to monitor the situation outside.

Although the camouflage of those monsters is perfect, there is still a small flaw. Their body temperature is different from that of ordinary people. Infrared night vision devices can just detect this small abnormality.

Even if Liu Yi guarantees that the monster's body will not have enough power to deal with them in the past two days, he still has to make sure that just in case, all the pipes in the villa connected to the outside world have been cut off, including water supply pipes and sewer lines, to prevent things from getting in. Entering the villa along the pipe, Kumano asked his men to collect enough supplies to last them through this period of time.

The protection of the villa was basically foolproof, and Li Ang was ready to go to the police station to find the key.

There is actually no difference between day and night for Li Ang. Although he has regained his strength in this world, Li Ang still trusts his perception more, and in a place where the vision is restricted inside a building, he still has no sense of it. The blind angle observation method is more advantageous.

Li Ang was worried that something unexpected would happen if he arrived late. Anyway, he would have to go to the police station to get the key sooner or later. It was better to get this key item in his hand as soon as possible to feel at ease.

Of course, Li Ang didn't rush over without any preparation. He got a set of spare equipment from Xiong Ye, including a gun, a stabbing sword, and a lantern.

Although Li Ang is not particularly good at using these weapons, it is much better than what he used to do with bare hands.

The power of the hand gun is quite good, enough to solve most of the troubles. It can help Li Ang save precious Origin Stone energy. The stabbing sword... This weapon is not suitable for chopping. Li Ang is not used to it, but it is better than nothing.

As for the lantern... I don’t know what the ancient lantern is used for, but according to Li Ang’s speculation, it should be a special magic device. Unfortunately, it cannot have real effects in this world and can only play a simple role. lighting effect.

Unfortunately, this was of no use to Li Ang and was just a burden, so Li Ang went to the police station alone with only a blunderbuss and a bayonet.

Xiong Ye showed great disdain for this, saying bluntly that Li Ang would die if he lost it. If he didn't come back at dawn the next day, he would personally take people to the police station.

Li Ang was not in the mood to argue with this tool man. After exchanging a few words with Adele, he left the villa.

Before Li Ang arrived at the police station, he noticed the subtle aura in the air.

He did not directly enter the block where the police station was located, but went to the top of the building opposite and observed the situation there from a height.

"The situation is not very good..."

Seeing the situation below, Li Ang frowned slightly.

Everything in this world is running spontaneously. Even when the Great Mingshen is still intact, I am afraid that he cannot change the world as he wishes.

And this morning, something big happened that could shock the entire Sagazaki City - the teachers and students of a school were bloodbathed by aberrant monsters, and very few people survived.

Although the copycat version of the Punishment Army sealed off the surrounding areas in time, it was impossible for such a major event to not leak out at all, so these people naturally approached the police station.

Even with cognitive interference, a large crowd still gathered outside the police station. They were all parents who were worried about their children's safety. They surrounded the police station, but the door of the police station was always closed and no one came out. No one can enter the police station.

Of course, Li Ang doesn't care about these people outside. If he wants to, he has many ways to sneak into the police station while avoiding these people.

What he cares about is the atmosphere inside the police station.

Just a door separated the inside and outside of the police station into two completely different worlds.

There was a lot of people outside the wall, filled with the sadness and anger of different people, but the lights inside the wall were bright, but there was no feeling of people at all... There was something inside, or something there had awakened.

Li Ang's most worried thing finally became a reality. Perhaps the method of forcefully installing the punishment army was too rough, which finally led to unknown changes in the police station.

When Li Ang came to the police station last night, although the atmosphere here made him feel a little uncomfortable, it was far from as strong as it was now. Now from a distance of several hundred meters, Li Ang could feel the ominous atmosphere emanating from there.

It seemed that the No. 1 infected person he had been worried about for a long time finally woke up.

The scale of that aura was several times stronger than the mature body that was hacked to death on the rooftop. It was not inferior to the clone of 'Shui Yue' at that time, but Shui Yue was burned to death by Li Ang without any resistance at that time. , and he had no way of inferring how strong the No. 1 infected person was now.

However, those guys in Kumano were definitely no match for this infected person, and it was indeed the right thing not to let them die.

"Troublesome..."

With a sigh, Li Ang pressed the large-caliber bullets into the magazine one by one, and then quietly slipped from the top of the building.

Bypassing the parents who surrounded the police station in anger, Li Ang chose a relatively remote place. With his extraordinary physical fitness, he didn't even use a run-up and crossed the row of nearly three meters high. The sharp fence fell into a dense forest.

Patting the dirt on his body, Li Ang confirmed his current location, then looked up towards the third floor.

That's where the director's office is.

After using his senses to confirm that there was no one inside, Li Ang began to climb up along the carvings originally used for decoration on the outside of the building.

Are you kidding? Reality is not a real game. Does Li Ang really want to enter through the police station gate honestly? While being chased around by the aberrant monster inside, he can crack various mechanisms in the ancient museum. Then you are looking for the key card that you don’t know where to put?

Li Ang was looking for the key, not Sanguang. How could he be so stupid if he ignored the shortcut and went for the first iron instead?

He smashed the glass window of the director's office with the butt of his gun, and Li Ang turned over and entered the room, looking around.

So, where is the key?

Chapter 93 Sources

Frankly speaking, this doesn't look like what a director's office should be.

There are oil paintings hanging on the walls, a plaster bust in the corner, and an easel with an unfinished work directly in front of Li Ang. This place is more like a third-rate artist's studio, although it fits the atmosphere of this museum very well. , but it is somewhat inconsistent with the setting of the police station.

Unless, the new police chief is also an art lover.

In the light of the artistic crystal chandelier on the ceiling, Li Ang slowly looked around the entire room.

In addition to finding many flower-shaped emblems belonging to Hagoromo Shrine, Li Ang also saw many objects that could represent the identity of the police chief, which meant that Li Ang was not looking in the wrong place.

Somewhat surprisingly, when Kumano's setting was changed, the person who replaced him as the police chief turned out to be Section Chief Ishii.

But it seems natural when you think about it. In the previous world line, Ishii was originally the section chief of the Investigation Division. It can be said that he is one of the few people in the police station whose status is second only to Kumano. If Kumano is gone, he will replace him. normal.

Of course, what Li Ang is looking for is not these things.

However... no.

After searching every corner of the room, Li Ang found nothing that matched the shape of a key card. Instead, he forcibly broke open the mezzanine behind an oil painting on the wall and found a rectangular groove that looked like Where the key card originally resided.

"...Was it taken away by someone?"

It's really the worst ending...but there's nothing surprising, it's expected.

Li Ang's mood only sank slightly before he regained his composure and began to sort out the current situation.

The key card was taken away... The only one who has the ability to do this is Ishii, who is now the director.

Judging from the traces of dust falling on the mezzanine, that mechanism should rarely be opened. The most recent time should be not long ago, most likely today.

What did Ishii want to do when he took the key card in a hurry?

Thinking of the strange changes that occurred in the police station, countless details connected together in Li Ang's mind - Ishii wanted to escape, or to evacuate with the remaining survivors of the police station.
