Chapter 1184 Blood Sacrifice Ceremony
Tong Qi raised his head and looked into the distance. Even though he was thousands of miles away, he felt a familiar yet unfamiliar energy source at this moment.
Because this energy source is gathered too far away, the reaction is very small, not even comparable to the energy reaction of the magic crystal inside the train next to it.
It is like an extremely dim star among the bright stars.
However, when it appeared, Tong Qi still instinctively focused his attention on that star.
"The fluctuation of this energy source is - divine fear." Tong Qi put his hands on his belt and his expression became slightly serious.
During this time, his perception seemed to have been further strengthened.
Energy sources, large and small, have no secrets in his eyes.
Especially when the transformed resonance belt comes back again, the belt itself has the function of sensing amplitude energy.
With the combination of the two, Tong Qi even had the feeling that no extraordinary energy source in the world could escape his detailed perception.
Although it is just perception, after acquiring perception, you can carefully observe the changes in this energy source, thereby strengthening your control over energy.
Tong Qi feels that it may not be long before the four-fold energy resonance can be achieved.
The train is still fast.
After running fast, Tong Qi and A Jing finally arrived at the Royal City on the second day.
At this time, there was still no black fog in the Royal City. It was obvious that after the first batch of demisters disappeared inexplicably, the second batch was immediately shipped.
Thanks to this, they can directly see most of the city's scenes when looking from a high place in the distance.
In the city, a huge stone statue is being built. A huge rough stone is pushed to a designated location and erected. A large number of carvers are working on it with various tools. Looking at the face carving is awe-inspiring.
Beside this stone statue, there is a monument.
This monument was erected when the kingdom was established, and it represents the first king.
However, at that time, Lilina’s real name and appearance were unknown, and few people even knew that she was a woman.
Until now, when the gods are searching for Lilina, people don’t know what Lilina looks like.
So when people proposed to build a statue for Lilina, they chose the ‘inscription’.
At this time, Ajing looked at the stone statue that was about to be carved with reverence. It was an absolute worship of power.
Tong Qi only glanced at it, then moved his eyes away from the stone sculptures and looked at the prosperous scene in this royal city.
Because the black fog was removed, the royal city returned to its previous prosperity, and many people from outside the city were now pouring into the royal city.
It looks a bit more prosperous than before, with crowds of people everywhere.
Tong Qi pressed his belt and completed the transformation in an instant, and the energy induction had started.
"Those three pieces over there should be the current defogger." Tong Qi looked at a place where he could sense many magic energy sources. He had also seen some of the magic fluctuations. They should be Senior of the Kingdom Guard.
"And besides that, the power of the void crystal..." Tong Qi closed his eyes to feel it.
However, it was discovered that void energy was floating around, and the void crystal except for the defogger could only vaguely feel its presence.
"Very smart!" At this time, Lu Bai said: "They used the principle of the defogger to hide the stolen void crystals under the energy fluctuation of the defogger."
“Unless the defogger is turned off, if you want to sense the void crystal, you can only lock on a rough range, and there is no way to determine its specific location.”
Lu Bai looked at everything in front of him with a smile in his eyes.
Tong Qi released the transformation and then frowned. Because of A Jing over there, he did not have a direct conversation with Lu Bai, but began to think.
If it were just like this, then it would be impossible for Lu Bai to speak.
Tong Qi and Lu Bai don’t communicate much, but they also know that Lu Bai usually only expresses his own opinions on important matters.
In other words, the matter at hand is definitely not just a matter of rebels stealing the Void Crystal.
But thinking about it, it is true that the original void crystal was guarded by a large number of experts, but it was still lost. This incident illustrates many problems.
"Don't look." But at this moment, Ah Jing pushed Tong Qi away and walked towards the royal city. The people to greet them had already arrived.
Soon, they were welcomed into a secret room in the royal city.
There are various archives here about the defogger before and after it was lost.
Many investigators on this matter gathered in front of them and described various situations.
However, Tong Qi could clearly feel that these people were not very enthusiastic about him, and all their conversations were directed towards A Jing, and they were trying to flatter each other both inside and outside of their words.
Tong Qi didn't care too much about this. The fact that he was not very popular with the king had spread everywhere for some reason.
After reading some information, I found that after multiple investigations, no useful information was obtained at all.
“Where is the guard member responsible for guarding the defogger currently being detained?” Tong Qi asked.
Although he was not too enthusiastic about Tong Qi, the investigators here did not ignore Tong Qi and gave the answer immediately.
The person in charge of the caretaker is a member of the ninth-level guard. Although he neglected his duties and made a big mistake, it is impossible to imprison him for this.
You can only let him rest in a special garden and recuperate his body a little. In fact, this means that he is deprived of his actual duties and only retains his false duties.
Each of these individuals has crossed that threshold and mastered extraordinary abilities beyond ordinary people.
Each one is an idol worshiped by people all over the country. Even though we are in trouble now, it is only a temporary low point.
The group of people soon arrived at the villa, which occupied a large area and had beautiful scenery.
Especially since this is the royal city. If Tong Qi was a soldier in the past, even if Tong Qi served longer than the founding of the kingdom, he might not be enough to come here to take a look.
Tong Qi did not lament the wonder of life, but felt that the class gap was too huge.
"If one day, I am in power, I must..." Tong Qi exuded his own thoughts.
Only found that no one answered the door.
“That’s not right!” Tong Qi reacted immediately, and kicked the door in front of the horrified eyes of others. In the process, he had already completed his transformation.
The magic crystal protective shield above flashed past and was broken.
Subsequently, a foul smell spread from the garden.
Ah Jing also immediately noticed the problem, put his hands on his waist, and immediately transformed and ran towards the inside.
Tong Qi also followed and walked in.
Looking around, I saw a large number of symbols daubed with blood on the ground of the entire garden.
Circles, triangles, twisted symbols.
The scene of a large-scale sacrifice by a cult.
Seeing this scene, someone immediately called the police.
The people from the Kingdom Guard here also rushed over here quickly after hearing this.
The sacrificial ceremony that took place in the royal city was a big event, especially when a ninth-level guard was involved.
After searching for a while, Tong Qi could not detect any more information.
“Judging from the dryness of the blood, at least three days have passed since the sacrifice ceremony.” In other words, the sacrifice had already begun before they set off from Hezhi’s research institute in the field.
“Everyone has disappeared, and only a large number of symbols are left in the garden.” Then Ajing also walked over with a serious expression and said.
“It seems that the loss of the crystal fragments in the defogger was not caused by outsiders.”
“It’s very possible that it was a thief.”
As soon as this result came out, everyone felt a little heavy.
The ninth-level guard can be said to have reached the highest status in the kingdom, and can be regarded as one person below ten thousand people.
There are only a few people who can be above his status.
Yet such a person would do such a horrific thing, basically cutting off all "returns" to himself.
"Because he was one of his own, no one was sent to guard him, only some of his own attendants followed him."
“Almost since we moved in, no one has come out.”
“People thought it was because he failed in his guarding mission and was in a bad mood, so they didn’t pay much attention to it.”
This incident was really unexpected. Considering the other party’s status, I couldn’t think of any reason why he would do this.
"But because of this, he has some flaws." After being shocked, Tong Qi said.
His eyes looked at the strange symbols that filled the room in the villa.
At this time, the power on these symbols has almost disappeared, but Tong Qi can still sense it.
After taking a deep breath, Tong Qi reached out and squeezed, using the energy resonance ability of the belt to extract the energy from these symbols.
Then a blood-red gemstone was formed.
Hold this gem and use it as a medium, Tong Qi can sense the location of the energy source from a distance.
The opponent steals the void crystal and uses the energy fluctuations of the defogger to cover up the void crystal.
However, the power of this cult's sacrifices now does not have the power to cover up it.
As long as you want to look for it, you can find it quickly.
“Let’s go!” Tong Qi gave the order straightforwardly, and then rushed towards the area where the energy source was located.
At this time, Ah Jing also put aside his opinion of Tong Qi and planned to find the ninth-level guard first.
This matter is really of great importance.
They ran wildly together, and soon Tong Qi, A Jing, and many members of the guard had arrived near a park.
There were many people here, and upon seeing this, someone immediately went to evacuate people.
However, it was still a step too late.
A flash of blood bloomed, covering a large area in an instant.
It pulled everyone in this area into a strange alien space.
Second update, sorry.
