Chapter 308: Lighthouse Version of the Four Hawkers
Ames picked up the Easter egg with corrosion marks on its surface, opened her mouth wide, tilted her neck back, and swallowed it down with a gulp. One could even hear the sound of the silver egg falling into her stomach. Then her body began to return to human form.
"That thing won't last long. Find some suitable materials and I'll help you refine a new treasure." Yan Xu, who had taken back the chain, seemed to smell something and frowned. He took it to the bathroom to rinse it before putting it away and said to Ames.
"Good master." Ames changed her address very consciously. Although she achieved part of her goal, she was not so naive as to think that she could get something for free without paying any price. All she could pay now was herself.
Although both are using themselves as bargaining chips, there is still a difference between the two. The Abnormal Pollution Investigation Bureau is really too inhumane. If you really fall into their hands, it would be a fate worse than death.
As for the ancient monk who defected to the East, let alone how high his credibility was, the mere fact that he had a way out was enough for her to make the right choice.
However, if Aimees had some thoughts before, she no longer has them now, because the opponent's method obviously acts on the soul, which means that even if she dies, she still cannot escape the opponent's palm. In this case, being tough is not advisable, and giving in is the right thing to do.
Yan Xu, who had long been accustomed to being addressed as "master" by beautiful women, had no intention of asking the other party to change his words, nor was he impatient to mount the horse, even though the horse was very plump and smooth. However, he had long passed the stage of being unable to walk when seeing a woman. Instead, he waved his hand indifferently and asked the other party to leave.
After knowing that her master had no further thoughts, Ames put on her clothes much faster and then left quietly.
After the other party left, Yan Xu took out the essence that dropped strangely in the haunted house and compared it with part of the power extracted from Aimees, because he was very curious about the difference between the two. It turned out that the properties of the two were similar, but the essence was slightly different.
But Yan Xu couldn't figure out the difference for a while, so he came to the grove to seek inspiration.
With Yan Xu in charge of the haunted house, there is naturally nothing wrong. The grove has only been simply treated, so there is still some strange energy left. If anyone comes here to have a wild fight in the near future, there is a high probability that they will be caught.
The way the police, or the Abnormal Pollution Investigation Bureau, handled the situation was very simple. They just set up a cordon and that was it. Yan Xu was speechless about this, but he couldn't even find anyone to complain to.
After crossing the cordon, Yan Xu strolled in the grove, carefully feeling the difference between the strange energy here and the strange energy in his hand.
The strange energy in the grove was thinner, like a polluted version of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while the strange essence in his hand could be called a spirit stone.
As for the power sample extracted from Ames, Yan Xu pondered for a long time and suddenly remembered that this was just an alternative incense, something more polluted than the lower-grade incense.
Yan Xu was no stranger to incense, which was why he was able to detect the problem so quickly.
After piecing together the information that Ames had said, Yan Xu suddenly understood what the second phase of the grand plan was: creating a god.
"It's fucking crazy." Thinking of this, even Yan Xu couldn't help but shake his head, because he knew that although this was just a guess, the possibility was very high, and it was also something that the Lighthouse Country could do.
The reason is very simple. Initially, the Lighthouse Country regarded the weirdness as a unique treasure. Later, it was discovered that other countries had the same things, but they had ancient traditions to deal with them specifically. There was no time to spread them, let alone cause heavy casualties.
Especially in the ancient country in the East, the younger generation had a hard time finding a weirdo to practice with, and some even traveled thousands of miles to come here to fight monsters, or in Eastern parlance, to subdue demons and exorcise monsters. They were immediately broken down, and at the same time, they also realized the gap between the two sides. These ancient heritages were thousands of years old, so how could the Lighthouse Country, which still regarded World War II items as antiques, compare?
There are also systematic myths and legends. Since there are strange things and monks, do the legendary gods exist?
This undoubtedly made the sensitive hegemonic mentality of the Lighthouse Country feel extremely anxious.
Although some of the inheritance was later obtained through some means, ideology and cultural traditions are the biggest obstacles. It would be simpler to hold the cross and call on God.
So the ambitious Lighthouse Country planned a big plan to create a god.
"War, wealth, freedom, love, they want to create four gods in one breath, they are really not afraid of death, and after being polluted, won’t they become tyranny, greed, chaos, and desire, the Lighthouse version of the four hawkers?!" Yan Xu knew that the Lighthouse Country was good at courting death and liked to drag everyone to death with it, but wasn’t it a bit too much to drag the soul along to jump into the cesspool after death?
Now he knew why those ancient monks from the East turned against each other. Stealing the inheritance was just the fuse, and creating gods was the real reason.
Moreover, he could imagine that no matter how serious the consequences were described by the ancient Eastern monks, and no matter how much they tried to dissuade them, it would only strengthen the Lighthouse Nation's determination to continue implementing the plan, because they believed that the other party was afraid, and the more the other party tried to stop them, the more it proved that they were right.
Has the Lighthouse Country not considered that failure would lead to serious consequences?
How is that possible? You can say they are bad, but you can never say they are stupid. In fact, the Lighthouse Country is very clear about how serious the consequences will be if something goes wrong.
But once they succeed, they will bridge the gap between them and other countries with ancient heritage in the supernatural realm, and even surpass them, and even set foot in the realm of God. The temptation is so great that it is impossible to refuse.
Even if they fail, they can spread the disaster and let everyone bear the consequences, which is another form of mushroom bondage.
This is the big plan. Once the situation is about to get out of control, the ancient monks from the East will be dragged into it.
In fact, although this approach is shameless, it is very effective. The big plan is half successful, and they also gain a lot of derivatives from it.
The only problem was that they underestimated the speed at which God grew, or rather, they underestimated the extent of the Lighthouse Nation's depravity, and so the Lighthouse version of the Four Vendors was born.
Although these are all speculations, the possibility is extremely high, especially the appearance of Ames, which allows Yan Xu to obtain evidence, because the ownerless strange energy is completely different from the strange energy on the other party.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Yan Xu felt the urge to leave quickly.
The four vendors in the Lighthouse version are definitely not as good as the ones in the Warhammer version. The problem is that this is not an Empire, let alone an Emperor. There are not even any Ultramarines. There are only a bunch of bastards who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
If it is not valuable enough, Yan Xu will never come to this world again, and he is not even going to take anything away from this world, because he cannot be sure whether these things are contaminated.
If the pollution is brought to other worlds, Yan Xu can’t believe what the consequences will be, so the question now is, is this strange world valuable?
