The Final Story of Miss Weird

She glanced at Elsa, who seemed to have heard nothing and was still sleeping soundly. A trace of envy flashed through her mind for the little girl's outrageous sleep quality, and then she got up and opened the door.

"coming."

The door opened, and standing at the door was Cen Xiangyun, whose face was full of tension, even panic, and Lu Manqing, who was wearing pajamas and a nightcap and yawning, with a pillow in her arms.

Just as Cen Xiangyun was about to scream, Luo Ling turned sideways and pointed at the sleeping Elsa. She understood and immediately lowered her voice, but still couldn't hide her excitement.

"Miss Luo Ling, something happened, something serious happened!"

"what happened?"

Luo Ling frowned slightly.

"Just now, a high-risk weirdo appeared in Victoria!" Cen Xiangyun glanced around and said nervously, "Uncle Shaoheng sent a message that now all P7 and above in the company have to rush back for a meeting!"

Before Luo Ling could speak, the sleepy Lu Manqing rolled his eyes and muttered,

"I thought it was something, Xiangyun. You called everyone out just for this matter."

"This, this is just a small matter?" Cen Xiangyun's eyes widened. "This is a high-risk and bizarre incident, on the same level as the Jiangcheng County incident!"

Hearing this, Luo Ling's face looked a little strange. After hearing this, she finally understood what was going on.

Most likely, it was the movement of the agent who had just been designated.

Well, actually it was her fault.

Then there is nothing to worry about...

"High-risk and weird things are scary, yes, but...what does this have to do with us?" Lu Manqing said with a nonchalant look, "Whether you want to fight or I want to stop them, even the company says that only those above P7 can go back to attend the meeting. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. As for us, it's better to go back and get some beauty sleep."

Cen Xiangyun was stunned. It seemed that what Lu Manqing said was... not wrong?

What is she nervous about?

"That's right, Miss Cen, you are overreacting." Luo Ling added.

Because she knew it was her own fault, she also knew that nothing would come of it.

"Uh...really?"

Cen Xiangyun scratched her head.

Am I just too weird?

She saw that even Elsa was sleeping soundly, and she was the only one who was panicking and it seemed that she was the only one who was abnormal.

"Don't you have to carry out the commission tomorrow? Go to bed early, Miss Cen." Luo Ling continued.

“Beauty sleep, beauty sleep...”

Lu Manqing yawned again.

This commotion that lasted most of the night ended with Cen Xiangyun confused and doubting herself.

A night of silence.

Chapter 5: Game in the Mist (k)

The waning moon hangs high.

For many people, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

In the seemingly peaceful Victoria area, who knows how many waves were secretly stirred because of that stunning glimpse above the sky.

Not to mention the "Pioneer" who is at the center of this storm.

In a medium-sized church in the city, the priest stood upright beside the altar, slightly tilting his head, silently gazing at the Holy Lord in the mural.

Next to them are monks and nuns praying with their eyes closed, devoutly offering their faith to the great Lord.

At this moment, a muffled groan came from the priest, which was quite harsh in the quiet chapel.

Even the nuns and monks who were immersed in prayer were awakened. When they looked up, they found that the priest's seven orifices were bleeding. They were instantly panicked.

"Father, you are..."

"It's okay," the priest said calmly, his eyes looking at everyone filled with the same kindness as always, "It's just the Lord's test of my piety. You all... continue to pray."

He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and slowly wiped away the bloodstains bit by bit.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that there was nothing wrong with the priest.

They closed their eyes again and continued to pray.

"It's really troublesome."

The priest casually placed the bloodstained handkerchief on the altar.

"Has he been discovered? An awakened 'Him' is definitely not someone we can touch."

This priest is a "religious man". He himself does not have any faith. In his own words, he is just a scholar who studies religion.

Using the religious organization, his own abilities, and his own understanding of religion, the religious man successfully created a "method of stealing" that can be used by ordinary people.

The faith of ordinary people is also a kind of power in the soul, but most of the time it is too weak to be used at all.

However, when this belief is concentrated on a certain carrier, the scattered forces can be gathered together. This is the essence of faith.

More importantly, this power will have some kind of mysterious connection with the carrier, which is the most crucial point.

Religious people use the characteristics of faith to choose the carrier as the weird that possesses power. In this way, they establish a connection with the weird and take the first step to steal power.

To seize the authority of the weird by stealing, it can only be done through the corresponding awakened person on the weird side, because in this way can a connection be established, otherwise there will be no connection, let alone stealing.

Next, there is a “price”.

After establishing contact, the person making the contact needs to pay a "price" himself, or he can pay the price indirectly through some means.

But when the connection is made through faith, paying the "price" is much simpler, and can even be done in a more deceptive way.

This can be achieved by just some ordinary people with strange physiques.

After summarizing this set of methods, religious people began to conduct several experiments.

After several failures, which caused disasters that killed about 20,000 people, he finally succeeded in seizing some of the power of a certain strange person for the first time.

But, not much.

Simply put, it's a bit tasteless.

Although only ordinary people are needed, the time period is long, the conditions are harsh, and the authority that can be obtained is too weak, so it has no practical value.

This method was not put to use until the Pioneers began to plan against Victoria... Although the seized power was weak for the Pioneers, it was an extremely powerful force for the pawns under their control.

Relying on these means, the pioneers were able to infiltrate a considerable force in Victoria, namely a large number of small religious organizations including the Church of Light, in preparation for the next layout.

In fact, in addition to the "White Witch" incident, similar mysterious power incidents have emerged in Victoria in recent years, but it is still difficult for the "Company" to distinguish whether it was done by the Apostles, the evil pioneers, or both.

However, this is the first time that someone has actively cut off contact with me.

"He almost found me from his memory. Haha, it was really thrilling."

The religious man was also grateful for what had just happened.

Since the "White Witch" has already taken action, I should just give her some face.

Without making any noise, the religious leaders issued instructions to all church leaders to suspend all religious actions against the "White Witch".

However, there is another problem.

"Through whose memory did the White Witch spy on me?"

Religious people know that it is most likely an ability like soul searching, and the person being searched is probably already dead.

If we knew where it was, we might be able to go there now and find some clues to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious "White Witch".

You know, the "White Witch" is the first monster in history to replace the original sequence, and she is also a high-risk monster with power. In the entire world of awakeners, no one does not want to understand how she did it.

Therefore, after issuing the order, the religious leader asked his subordinates to investigate which church had lost contact.

The religious man turned his head slightly and looked into the distance, up to the sky.

"What a beautiful waning moon, it seems to be stained with a little blood..."

If I have the chance, I really want to see this "White Witch" in person. It is said that she looks like a silver-haired girl in her teens.

The next moment, the religious man's expression froze.

"how come..."

The subordinates soon sent a happy report.

All teachings have been responded to, and none of them have been lost.

In other words... the "White Witch" didn't seem to kill the owner of the memory.

But how is this possible?

Religious people have experienced this personally, and that kind of angry voyeurism cannot but tear apart the consciousness of the one who remembers it.

Even he had to pay a small price to escape.

No, there is another possibility.

The religious people recalled the situation in Jiangcheng County.

Both the information released by the company and the conclusions drawn from the internal investigation of the Pioneer revealed some of the abilities of Puppet Rumor and the White Witch.

"The ability to dominate others..."

Fortunately, judging from the description of the incident previously named the "Baiyan Village Incident", this domination can be confirmed by cutting open the flesh and blood to see if it has been replaced.

But... no guarantees.

Who knows the truth about power?

Perhaps even the white mycelium that replaced flesh and blood was just another disguise, a deception that led to misunderstandings.

Also, were the 400,000 civilians who died in the most horrific ways really just an act of venting by the "White Witch"?

The religious man's eyes flickered slightly, and he gave up the idea of ​​checking the flesh and blood of all church members. Firstly, there were too many people, and secondly... it was meaningless.

"White Witch...does she want to play chess with us? Such a dangerous and strange invitation is really scary."

it's fine.

Be it dangerous or weird, or even taboo...

As long as the pioneer's overall situation fails, both the chessboard and the chess pieces will be overturned.

What’s more, when it comes to dealing with high-risk anomalies, the pioneers are not fighting alone.

There are also organizations on the order side, such as companies, whose hostility towards the weird is even greater than that towards the pioneers.

"Fortunately, the things that the church knows are just scattered details. Even if the White Witch reads all of them, she won't be able to see the whole picture."

The religious people breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was very uncomfortable to have a thorn added to their problem for no reason, this was already a very good result.

Next, just be careful not to have any contact with these grassroots churches. Anyway, the initial arrangements have been completed and these churches can operate smoothly.

After that, all that's left is waiting.

......

After a long sleep, Luo Ling slowly opened his eyes in Alyssa's body.

Next to her was Stasha who had fallen asleep. She turned her head to look at the sky. The blood color on the waning moon was gradually fading, and a faint pale light appeared on the horizon.

Becoming an "agent" is also incubation in a sense, but it is more special.

Now the "hatching" is over and the hatchery is gone.

She briefly checked what happened last night, with a slight sneer on her face.

"Sure enough... As expected, I knew that this guy would come back to secretly check the situation..."

In order to avoid attracting attention, Luo Ling certainly couldn't let religious people notice this place.

Therefore, after killing the church members, Luo Ling took control of them all, using the highest level of "complete control". These people were exactly the same as before, both in appearance and in body.

Even searching the soul through memory and using abilities to trace back, there was no way to find anything wrong.

But they are dead, and now everything is just controlled and imitated by the puppet's ability, just like the residents of Jiangcheng County, they have become lost "lambs".
