This is probably some kind of commonality of these people?
Undertaker: Chapter 123 122. It's so funny
According to the order of the venerable, the butler advanced the weird ceremony before him to the next stage.
The phonograph in the corner suddenly fell silent, and several white-robed waiters around the room took out a small silver bell from their arms, and rang it one by one, making a crisp ringing sound.
Ding~ding~ding~ding~ding~ding~
After the bell rang six times, three more waiters in white robes came in pushing three wheelchairs.
There was no one sitting on the seat, but there were three crystal balls, a classic prop in mysticism.
The bell continued to ring, and after three more crisp rings, the crystal ball on the wheelchair began to glow slightly, emitting a layer of foam-like mist, which continued to condense into shape, and finally turned into three emaciated figures. Bent, like an old man with the roots of a dead tree.
The venerable and the attendant present put their hands on their chests and greeted the three old men together, looking respectful.
Looking at it, Luo Xia couldn't help being amazed in his heart.
Those three old men were all projections of consciousness, similar to the people in the circus he met before, but they were obviously much smarter and more professional. They were not pure phantoms, but entities made of foam and mist.
So it looks much more realistic, and should be able to make physical contact, and you don't need to adjust the lighting to match.
In contrast, the consciousness projections of those in the circus are really like a circus...
The old man sitting in the wheelchair in the middle first looked around at the guests present, and finally put his gaze on Rorschach, pointed and commented:
"He's not bad! He's one of the best in this group of people."
His voice sounded deep and powerful, not at all like the old man on the surface, and it was a bit familiar. Obviously, the voice that first invited everyone into the exhibition hall was the owner of the city who claimed to be the oracle. The one with the first name.
But his speech surprised both the steward and the venerable. Who would have thought that he would be optimistic about this crazy shipping tycoon Planck?
But Luo Xia didn't want to listen to this, thinking that he had been exposed again, and was about to snap his fingers again, violently attacking.
Then go downstairs and smash that fossil!
But before he could act, he heard another old man on the left comment:
"It's really good. Be careful and cautious enough, and know how to protect yourself. It's completely different from these people who only enjoy themselves."
Even the last remaining old man on the right nodded and added:
"I can think of using magic to protect myself, and my thinking is very flexible. It's a pity that what he is facing is the ritual and wisdom from the great wise man Tanis, which cannot be resisted by any magic."
After a few simple comments, the old man in the middle nodded to the venerable, and the latter also took out a silver bell from his arms, and rang it for the last time.
After the bell rang, the guests present came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and started to move again.
Then he continued to eat and drink, as if he was completely unaware that there were three more people in wheelchairs in front of him.
Even the corpse lying on the ground and the blood-stained carpet were ignored.
The body was lying next to the rich woman, but she turned a blind eye to it, and was busy flirting with the waiter in a tight leather jacket.
This spiritual suggestion is really weird...
Luo Xia slandered, and then the last one moved, showing that he had won the round [Wooden Man]
At this time, a paunchy guest who looked like a wealthy businessman had finished eating the lobster and snails on the plate, and then said to the old man in the middle while licking his greasy fingers:
"Your Excellency the First Speaker, thank you for your generous hospitality. This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life."
And another guy who looked like a politician next to him sarcastically said:
"Come to the party hosted by the first speaker, the chief justice, and the first director of the Administration, but you only care about eating?"
Obviously none of the three old men introduced themselves, but they naturally called out each other's identities.
The old man in the middle smiled coldly, and asked everyone:
"You are the people with the most status, status, wealth, and power in this city. So, can you please tell me, do you think you have controlled this city?"
Although this question was raised very abruptly, everyone present changed the topic in an instant with cooperation, and began to express their opinions and give their own answers.
Only Rorschach listened silently, without saying a word.
Judging from the answers of these people, they are not so inflated. They basically admit that they are not decent enough to control the city.
And also complained about the interference and supervision of organizations such as the House of Representatives, the Church, the Esoteric Church, and the Extraordinary Affairs Administration from various angles.
But the old man in the middle was not so tactful. After listening to everyone's various answers, he said loudly:
"As you said, even if you have reached the pinnacle and perfection in your respective fields, business, politics, academia...but there is still a very long way to go before mastering this city..."
"And what I want to tell you now is that although more than 500 years have passed, the city has changed a lot, and it has also experienced that cruel war, but today, this city is under our control! It is like 500 years ago. Same as before!"
"We are the [Place of the Dying], the immortals who have escaped the shackles of life, and the supreme beings above time and death!"
"We are still here! We are forever!"
"This is the true meaning of life we are looking for, this is the only authority that can control this city, eternal life and endless time!"
"I know that you have made a lot of efforts to break through the 300-year life shackles, and once wanted to give up and meet the fate of the gods branded by the gods... But now, the door to a whole new world has opened in front of you!"
"Join us and come to the [Place of the Dying], you will have everything in this world!"
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became more impassioned.
His words seemed to be very contagious, causing the guests present to kneel on the ground without realizing it, lying on their stomachs in front of him.
And the venerable, the steward, and the waiters also knelt on one knee, as if they were worshiping some great existence.
But at this moment, a disdainful sneer sounded in the supposedly solemn venue.
All eyes turned to the direction where the laughter came from.
Rorschach waved his hand embarrassingly, and explained:
"Sorry, I couldn't hold back..."
"I thought it was something amazing, but it turned out to be a group of living corpses?"
"It's so ridiculous..."
The Undertaker: Chapter 124 123. The Fastest Runner
Luo Xia's series of laughter first stunned the people in the [Place of the Dying], and after a few seconds, they showed that expression of broken defense.
"This... the ceremony has failed? How is it possible?!"
But after a moment of shock, the old man who was called the "First Speaker" took the lead to come back to his senses, put away the look on his face, and asked coldly:
"Which sect are you a clergyman? Do you know the fate of disturbing us?"
And the venerable quickly took out the previous bell and a ritual knife from his arms, hit it hard with the back of the knife, and shouted sharply:
"Your Majesty!"
Instead of kneeling down, Luo Xia spread his hands indifferently, shrugged, and complained:
"Tell me to kneel? Even Tanis, the wise man you speak of, dare not ask me to kneel."
As soon as the words fell, the faces of the three old men changed again, and each exclaimed in surprise:
"Not good! They are from the Holy See of the Northland!"
"Hold him! Get out!"
"Damn it! The Northlanders are here again..."
After all, their figures began to dissolve and disappear rapidly, leaving only a puddle of off-white foam in their breath, hanging sticky on the crystal ball.
This time, it was Rorschach who was shocked.
Even though he was talking so much nonsense before, he was so straightforward and decisive when he ran away?Wouldn't say a word of cruelty?
From the earth to this world, this is the first time he has encountered an enemy that runs so fast!
If the leader could run as fast as them, he wouldn't be dead on the street...
Fortunately, the problem is not too big, it's just the projection of the three consciousnesses, just follow up later.
And the venerable who seemed to have a lot of status in their organization would definitely not be able to escape.
He didn't even think about running away, but while ringing the bell, he waved the ritual knife in his hand, gesticulating various patterns in the air, muttering words again, and wanted to launch a verbal attack on Rorschach.
It looked like he was drawing a circle to curse Rorschach...
And the other waiters in white robes also took their own actions. Some ran to the corner and turned on the phonograph again, trying to make the same music as before; some followed the posture of the venerable, ringing the bell and thinking .
Only the housekeeper was the most straightforward, actually took out two ceremonial short knives, one on the left and one on the right, and rushed towards him to fight Rorschach.
Rorschach stood there motionless, but silently took out the scripture.
Dozens of crystal chains emerged out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, all the people present were bound and pinned to the ground, including those dignitaries who hadn't recovered from their senses.
Luo Xia also disliked that these people talked too much nonsense, and specially adjusted the distribution of the chains, directly strangling these people's necks, leaving only a little room for breathing, so that they could no longer make any sound.
And although these people seem to have a lot of tricks and strange methods, under the powerful crystal chains, they are all as honest as corpses, and they don't even have the strength to struggle.
"The real master of the Oracle City, is this?"
Luo Xia smiled disdainfully, and began to look up the resumes of these people automatically with the textbook in his hand.
There is a lot of content, but what needs to be focused on is only the Venerable.
Judging from the resume, although they bragged about this [Place of the Dead] as if it were a god, but in fact it did not surprise Rorschach at all, it was just a group of living corpses who refused to die.
Although the upper limit of human life span is [-] years, it is an objective law that no one can violate.
But as long as you stop being a human being, there are still many ways to continue to 'live'.
And what this organization adopts is the notorious method of 'life grafting'.
To put it simply, it is to stuff the internal organs of those young and energetic people into their own bodies by means of occultism, alchemy, and even sorcery and occult techniques, so as to fight against the inevitable end of life.
This is not a new thing, but an old routine that existed thousands of years ago, and it has been spurned and wanted by various forces for thousands of years. It is an absolute taboo. Villains who dare to touch are always punished. The harshest form of capital punishment.
At the same time, this is not a safe and proper way. Putting other people's organs into your body will inevitably have various adverse effects. It will be difficult to move like a normal person. Endure all kinds of pain and suffering caused by organ discomfort.
The life expectancy is not long, and other people's organs will fail at a hundredfold rate. One operation can only last for two or three years, and then they have to be replaced again. As the number of replacements increases, various side effects will also occur. concentrated burst out.
In the end, it will often be alienated into various disgusting monsters, and it is difficult to maintain even the consciousness of thinking, and gradually become the lowest level of monsters without self-awareness at all.
In the end, it is not an easy thing to break through the upper limit of lifespan, and often requires paying a completely unequal price. It is even more stupid to turn into a monster after all kinds of tossing and suffering. extreme.
So logically speaking, this kind of magic that is difficult to use and strictly controlled should be something that has long since disappeared.
Anyway, Rorschach has been in the Tribunal of Divine Favor for so many years, and he has never heard of anyone daring to do this.
But judging from the resume, this kind of taboo magic has not only been passed down, but also continuously improved and optimized by them, and many new versions have been released. Coupled with the spiritual hints of those taboos, this set of magic has become unreal. So dangerous and difficult to use.
"Where did this group of people find these extinct taboo knowledge?"
Seeing this, Luo Xia couldn't help asking in a low voice.
In the biography of the Venerable, he failed to find the answer.
This person is actually very young, less than two hundred years old, and he is the youngest venerable in their organization.
But it is also the most powerful one, and it is also one of the few minions who can move around outside.
The official members of the entire [Place of the Dying] organization, that is, those attendants, stewards, and venerables, only have more than 60 people, and the scale is very small.
But through those spiritual hints, they controlled thousands of puppets outside, some of them were dignitaries like tonight's group, and some were the person in charge of salted fish, almost all walks of life.
If these people behave well, they can be promoted and become full members.
But there is still a very long distance between the official members and the "eternal life" they claim. Among their more than 60 official members, including the three senior elders, only seven of them have lived past the age of [-].
The Undertaker: Chapter 125 124. Now I have a clear idea
After this venerable's resume, he successively took over a dozen children from the shelter, and then performed that bloody and cruel operation on them without any anesthesia...
Among them was a well-behaved and cute little girl who left a deep impression on him. She didn't cry or make trouble, she was very quiet, until the end she hid a few pieces of chocolate in her pocket, and she was reluctant to eat it, as if she was planning to take it. To share with important people...
So he left half of the body and stuffed it into a garbage bag...
When Rorschach saw this, he closed the scripture and didn't want to read any more.
Although more information should be found in his resume, Rorschach no longer wants to examine this life full of sin and filth.
