Overturned Tower

"...Is this possible?"

The Clarion did not want to believe it: “This way the church would not have enough benefits at all!

"As a 'savior' angel, the Pope cannot do anything that has nothing to do with saving the world, otherwise he will directly lose his power; at the same time, as a superior person who has inherited the wisdom of his predecessors, how can he possibly do it?" Such a useless thing?"

He was racking his brains, but he couldn't think of any meaning other than discrediting the angels and losing the church's reputation as a neutral person that had been accumulated for so long.

"Not necessarily, right?"

Wu Ming just laughed: "Originally, they were planning to wait and see the demon be released, and then try to win over people's hearts. But now it seems that the demon will be destroyed directly, so they attacked the burial mechanism."

"...No, this is impossible!"

The trumpet suddenly reacted, and even the sound became louder: "Even if this is a conspiracy of the church - there is absolutely no way the angels will obey such an evil plan!

"To sow discord, incite war, release demons and cause catastrophic disasters... If I receive such an order, I will not hesitate to turn around and chop off the head of the person who gave me the order!"

"Is it really impossible?"

Wu Ming sneered: "Guess, why do I always have no hope in the church? Now it seems that my guess is correct.

"Before I became an angel, I happened to be studying for a doctorate in brain science in the church. Father Andrew, who invented the divine descending device, was my mentor during my previous master's degree.

"Although I was one of the first subjects of the divine device, it does not mean that I knew nothing about it or had high expectations for it. I realized at the time... that it was essentially a low-power device. A brainwashing device? I think you don’t object to my statement, right? "

The horn made no reply.

Because this is actually common sense.

If the church so wishes, the "divine device" can actually be a "pious device." All you need to do is enter the airtight container covered with motors, put on the halo device, and connect to the server, and you may become an angel when you wake up again.

In this process of losing consciousness, their personalities have actually been washed countless times.

The thinking of every "sage" must be "come down from the gods" once. After confirming the synchronization rate, then switch to other saints... After everyone has completed a turn, the halo of the lower-level angel with the highest synchronization rate will be awarded.

At this time, their "advancement" path has also been clarified - whoever has a high synchronization rate with the superior angels will be marked. Only when it is confirmed that it is safe and controllable, or the battle situation is tight, will the corresponding promotion ceremony be performed to promote them to the corresponding position.

"Complete brainwashing cannot awaken the power of the Holy Order - even the artificial intelligence of our time can easily tell which papers are plagiarized. We are like 'borrowing' some 'papers' from previous generations of saints, Then I wrote my own graduation project. In order to pass the review, I modified part of it based on my own understanding... It is precisely because of this link that the church cannot fully 'mass-produce angels'."

Because there are always people who can’t even understand what they are copying.

But if there is no "review" step...

"Then there is no doubt that the church will brainwash all of us into weapons that obey orders. The result of their failure to do so is also very clear - that is, almost all angels today are dissatisfied with the corruption of the church. Compared with them , we are the more 'orthodox' side. The strength of the power of Holy Order has proven everything.

"And the divine descending device is already a technology from a hundred years ago. During the hundred years when we were frozen, the church knew clearly that the angels were out of control, so would they sit still and wait for death?"

Wuming finally expressed his deepest worries: "I don't think so. They tentatively only unlocked a small number of angels, which has proven the true attitude of the church - they are afraid of us. They are afraid of absolutely nothing." An angel who will never fall even if he compromises, an angel who is always pure.

"So, I have always thought that the church must be conducting an experiment to 'optimize the divine descending device'. Our thawing should be the last chance... That's why I am willing to obey the church's orders and show a submissive posture.

"——But obviously, there are stupid angels like you, and there are other places on the island that I can't see or touch, and there are other angels who don't hide their disgust for the church. So the church confirmed Our attitude carried out the last part of the experiment.”

The angels who attacked the reconstruction agency may have had their minds completely controlled or their personalities wiped out.

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something.

He quickly confirmed to the Paradise Bird: "How many angels have come?"

“I don’t know, I don’t know—but it’s a big, dark place!”

The Bird of Paradise was not sure: "Peter Pan said that they were all able to fly at will just like him. The scale was even larger than that of his former friends, and they simply blocked out the sky... It's okay, I'll ask again!"

With that said, she dialed the phone.

But soon, her expression froze.

The Paradise Bird was silent for a while and then raised its head.

"……no signal."

No signal means entering the downtown area, the black area, being in the signal shielding area, or simply physically removing the chip...or losing vital signs.

"At least a few hundred people, probably more than that."

Wu Ming concluded.

Seeing the Paradise Bird getting anxious, Horn patted her head and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay. This only shows that the situation is not the worst..."

"What?"

"It shows that their power of holy order has been significantly weakened. Angels in this era are the top legion-level combat effectiveness. Without the elf directors taking action, a company of angels is enough to sustain single-digit battle losses. , the entire empty island was easily bulldozed.

"And so many of them are attacking the execution department, which has no more than level three psychic powers, and most of them are at level two or lower, and they can still let Peter Pan send out the message...it shows that they are not as strong as Wu Ming and Xiang Xiang. .”

The person who suddenly spoke was Delphinium.

She woke up and her whole demeanor changed. The cool and elegant aura about her body has obviously become lighter, making her feel more approachable and softer.

An almost magical charm lingered around her, a warm and intoxicating scent like roasted rose wine that could make anyone who saw her for the first time have a certain liking for her.

"Furthermore, this also explains one thing... I have been keeping an eye on the airspace and surveillance of Happy Island during this time. If there are hundreds of uncoded people without chips, it is impossible to sneak into Happy Island without warning and not be caught. I find.

"It's even possible that they are directly locals from Happy Island. Because they all have chips from the island, there is no warning when they gather on such a large scale - maybe they have been among the crowd all along and just received the order to wear a A halo that you carry with you.”

Hearing this, Paradise Bird subconsciously touched the top of his head.

She had done something similar before.

"Using the angels of the old era to brew sacred wine to create a new generation of fallen angels..."

The horn murmured in a low voice, with an expression as ugly as solidified mud on his face: "No wonder..."

"Don't be too surprised. Our Pope and Russell are now enemies."

For the first time, Delphinium said something that had not been said to the Paradise Birds before: "He seems to be holding some kind of conspiracy to seize world power and declare war on Russell.

"He has completed the 'cyber immortality' and uploaded himself to the data layer. Although this technology is not yet perfect and has many loopholes, he no longer wants to wait - he wants to complete the cyber immortality plan immediately .

"I don't know about other things, but if he wants to implement this plan... I think only people whose lives are not going well will want to enter the virtual world.

"If the angels' abnormal behavior comes from the Pope's wishes, then the church may have reached a unified opinion."

"...Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The horn fell into shock.

"After all, I have no evidence here at all, and I don't know your position. Smart people all know the truth of not being close.

"In less than three minutes, Peter Pan was disconnected. Now it's definitely too late to stop them. With the armed execution department being penetrated instantly, we simply can't organize it in a short time. Defeat their combat power.

"-But no matter what, I have to go and see."

Delphinium's expression was serious.

On the contrary, Wu Ming, who had been encouraging her to take action, was the first to scold her: "Where are you running with your big belly? I'm afraid the devil has been leaked, and you may die for some reason if you get close again!"

"——Then count me in."

Lang Yan's deep voice came from outside the door.

The next person who walked in was Zhan, who was obviously the head of the Special Execution Department, but looked like a timid subordinate. There is also Lang Yan's underage girlfriend Kamalse who is both father and mother and is actually over a thousand years old - or in other words, "Losa" who was named by Lang Yan.

The smiling Malt Liquor was at the back of the crowd, turning Kasumi's authorization card in her hand. Neither Xia nor Bingshui, whose combat prowess was within the realm of mortals, came.

"If you want to go, go ahead. I'll stay here to look after the house..."

Ah Zhan, who was still a little timid at first, gradually became resolute under the gaze of Delphinium: "I can do it...Senior Delphinium! Leave all the command and liaison work to me. Now I can That’s what we do.”

For the first time, he used "senior" instead of the customary "minister" to address Delphinium.

Delphinium looked at him deeply for a long time.

Then he nodded slowly.

She didn't say "come on" or "I believe in you" or other empty words to encourage the other party. Instead, she said in a very calm and low voice: "Don't let me down."

"As you wish."

Azhan's tone became more determined.
