Chapter 28 Awakening (Four K)

"This bar is really noisy."

In the corner box, the witch slammed the door of the box with a look of disgust on her face, turned to look at the other disciples, "Why don't you go to [real name] to meet? You have to come here."

[Real Name] is the name of another bar, which is the bar opened by the professor of the Syndicate. It is usually a gathering place for everyone in the Syndicate.

"The teacher has gone on a long trip,"

Tai Haoyan said concisely: "I won't be back in a short time, the bar is closed."

The witch raised her eyebrows and said, "Going out again? Where did you go?"

"God knows."

Taihao spread his palms and said, "I can't get in touch."

There was no news from the teacher, but everyone present at the Syndicate didn't seem worried at all.

Only they themselves know the weirdness of the professor,

Before the killing game started, the professor had already started activities to find children for training around the world.

Teach them knowledge and skills, and take them to perform various bizarre tasks - such as quietly destroying a dam somewhere in the United States;

Hack into the Japanese bank system and loot the ill-gotten gains of criminal gangs;

Go to war-torn areas in Central Asia, sneak into dangerous areas under the patrols of armed men, and protect and rescue precious cultural relics;

These tasks are almost completely unrelated to each other, but some of the disciples of the Syndicate were trained to be qualified early on, and they became like a fish in water on the road to becoming players.

The professor seemed to be just an ordinary middle-aged man on the outside and inside.

But his whereabouts were elusive, and he seemed to have anticipated the coming of the killing game, made arrangements in advance, and was secretly executing some kind of plan.

Even now,

Even after all members of the Syndicate possessed powerful extraordinary powers, they still maintained their unreasonable admiration and trust in the professor, even if they did not know what the professor's specific plan was.

"Tsk, it's too bad that the old man still disappears every day despite his age."

The witch curled her lips and looked at Taihao, "So, what's the point of calling us all over this time?"

"I have something to announce,"

Taihao nodded and looked at Amberli,

The latter cleared his throat and said slowly: "You may not know that the last script mission I just experienced, the time flow rate is the same as in the real world.

In that script, I met Su Nisheng in an afterimage state. "

Embry recounted his experience in the last script task.

Her Chinese is not very good, and she can describe many things in one sentence.

Fortunately, everyone present was a player in the first or second echelon, so they could imagine the danger of the scene through the description.

Everyone's expressions gradually became serious, and they fell into silence after Amberli finished narrating.

The witch frowned and said slowly: "In other words, after Li Ang went through the script mission with you and faced the projection of the god suspected to be Su Ni Sheng, he was teleported back to the real world.

Without much rest and recuperation, he provoked the Mobile Task Force of the Special Affairs Bureau, faced Suzaku, and defeated him? "

"This should be."

Emboli nodded, "The battle with Su Ni Sheng's shadow was difficult. I almost used my trump card, and even summoning Black Sail failed to cause any real damage to her.

Hohenheim, Leon and others,

The state after completing the script task is definitely not much better. "

"..."

Taihao frowned slightly when he heard this, and turned to look at the silent control, "What do you think Li Ang's true strength is?"

Uncontrollably closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep and steady voice: "Based on the strength shown in the video,

He stayed in the routine and I didn't use my trump card. There's about a 80-80 chance of winning against him.

Unlocking the divine power, seventy-three.

If you completely lift the restrictions and turn into a dead wood titan..."

Losing control was silent for a moment, and under the curious eyes of his companions, he shook his head, "It's hard to say.

Zhongli Mieming and Wang Buliuxing failed to force out more of him.

Suzaku's fighting style is completely incomparable with mine.

We really have to calculate the odds between each other,

You still have to fight one-on-one. "

"hiss,"

Wang Hu, who is also a disciple of the Syndicate, smacked his lips, "Aren't you even sure of winning?"

"There are no sure battles."

Losing control calmly shook his head, "Time, location, respective states, moods, intelligence, external factors...everything will become a factor that interferes with the outcome of the battle.

A more accurate term for the odds of victory is the probability of victory for both sides in countless battles at the current stage.

In terms of performance in the video, I might have a slight advantage.

But the combat video is just a video after all, and he has more trump cards that he has yet to reveal.

So, it's hard to say. "

After saying that, Lose Control turned to look at Amberli and asked calmly: "What about you?

If you and Kuang Ranhuo unite again, are you sure you can defeat the Deadwood Titan or the Suzaku Vision? "

"Well..."

Emboli and Kuang Ranhuo looked at each other and saw uncertainty in each other's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Amberli hesitated and said: “It’s a bit difficult.

You also know how difficult it is to reach the level of a god in modern times.

Not only did Li Ang leave, he was also promoted to the rank of demigod.

It proves that he has accumulated enough divine power and that he has a large number of unknown followers.

in this case,

The recovery speed of his divine power must be much faster than that of the ghosts, foxes and demon gods we found before who have long since cut off their faith supply and whose names no one chants.

Although the complete form of Black Sail may be able to penetrate the defense of the Deadwood Titan, it may not have an advantage in endurance.

If we fight alone, we will probably lose in terms of battery life. "

"Is this so..."

Taihao frowned and thought for a while, then sighed, "That's fine.

Now that Li Ang has chosen to ascend to the long level of the gods, and it seems to be very effective, I won't hide it from everyone.

Bass, please introduce to everyone your recent discoveries. "

"Um?"

Everyone looked at Bass, who was hiding in the corner and was the eleventh disciple of the Syndicate. He was wearing an anime shirt and looked like an ordinary otaku.

Being stared at by his senior brothers and sisters, Bai Bai smiled awkwardly, stood up from his seat as if resigned to his fate, and clapped his hands, "Uh... Actually, it's not a particularly important discovery.

Some time ago, wasn't there something unusual happening in the Ajanta Caves in Maharashtra, central India?

A tourist discovered the Buddha statue of Lord Shiva Jataka in the cave and smiled.

On the same day, the European Heavy Industries Group sent people over and teamed up with India's local extraordinary agencies to seal off the Ajanta Caves.

Because the topic the teacher gave me before was to study the long steps to ascend to the gods,

So I spent some time and sneaked into Maharashtra with the stonemason, passed through the layers of blockades of the European Heavy Industries Group, and got first-hand information. "

Bass and Mason looked at each other, and the latter nodded and took out a projection device from his suit pocket.

Start the device and project the image on the wall of the bar box covered with thick soundproofing and sound-absorbing materials.

The angle of view of the picture is stable and there is no jitter. It should have been shot with a drone.

Bass and Stonemason maintained their stealth status and passed through the blockade of heavily armed Euroheavy Industries employees.

Arriving near the Ajanta Caves.

The Ajanta Caves are built in the middle of a cliff and blend into the cliff itself.

The European Heavy Industries Group cut down the surrounding trees that blocked the view, laid concrete roads, and built a temporary base.

Looking around, one can see a large number of scientific researchers wearing protective clothing, debugging instruments at the foot of the Ajanta Caves.

Not far away, engineers were setting up a turret defense line, with gun barrels aimed at the grotto itself.

All European Heavy Industries Group personnel wear noise-canceling headphones and semi-transparent full protective masks.

"Um?"

The witch noticed something unusual in the picture and hesitated: "This is..."

In the picture, a certain cave in the Ajanta Caves emitted a soft and shadowy light.

The surroundings resounded with the intoxicating holy Buddhist sounds like fairy music.

"The carved stone walls around the monastery represent the Tathagata's past deeds of bodhisattvas. The auspiciousness of attaining the holy fruit and the spiritual destiny of entering the state of annihilation are meticulously carved. Outside the Jialan Gate, there are stone statues on the north and south sides. . The local custom who heard this said: This phenomenon roars loudly and the ground shakes.

This passage comes from Xuanzang's description of Azero Jialan of the Maharaja Kingdom in "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

Azarajalan may be the Ajanta Caves. "

Bai Bai said in a deep voice: "The divine light and Buddha's sound that you see now,

It is the symbol of the slowly awakening Buddhist kingdom in the Ajanta Caves. "

"Buddha country..."

The witch frowned. She also had a general study of Eastern mysticism and knew that the so-called Buddhist Kingdom and Buddha Land were very complicated things.

Simply soil can be divided into five categories: impure, impure, pure, impure, mixed, and pure.

And the Buddha land where the Buddha lives can be divided into two, three, five, etc. different ways according to the different interpretations of the Buddha's body.

However, since the Buddha's place is the Buddha's land, there is basically no problem in imagining the Buddha's country as the kingdom of God in the concept of Western mysticism.

“The stonemason and I sneaked into it and found that the European Heavy Industries Group had managed the Ajanta Caves into a real-life secret realm that could be continuously excavated and explored.

It's a bit like a low-end version of the Demon Prison. "

Bass introduced: "Players from the European Heavy Industry Group enter the Ajanta Grottoes, pass through the barrier that is constantly emitting Buddha's light, and enter the slowly awakening Buddha's kingdom.

All kinds of treasures were stolen from it.

And, constantly trying various means,

Trying to suppress, interfere or even completely control the master of the Buddhist kingdom - a Buddha who is still sleeping and has not yet awakened.

There were too many people in the European Heavy Industries Group. The stonemason and I only dared to take pictures casually on the outside, but did not dare to go into the Buddhist country to explore.

However, judging from the materials they plundered from the Buddhist Kingdom,

The owner of the Buddhist Kingdom should be a legendary king of Devabhati City in Jambudvipa, India, more than 2,000 BC.

That is King Shibi who cut off his flesh and fed it to the eagles. "

Bai Bai's expression became serious, "According to legend, King Shibi had jurisdiction over 84,000 vassal states and 60,000 mountains and rivers. He was kind and kind. He was tested by Emperor Shakti and Vishogama. He cut his flesh and fed it to eagles, and gained the power of all the gods and Buddhas. Accept it, sit on the ground and become a Buddha.

Of course, these are just fairy tales,

His true identity should be a powerful transcendent whose specific era cannot be determined.

It's enough to leave a part of his own origin behind and fake death to escape the inspection of the killing game.

And at the right time, the Buddhist kingdom will be restarted and resurrected. "

Bass paused for a moment and said with a solemn expression: "I remember the teacher told me a long time ago that after choosing the path of gods, you can have power that ordinary mortals cannot reach.

He will also become a prisoner who is lingering and unable to control himself.

It wasn’t until I saw the Buddhist Kingdom in the Ajanta Caves that I understood the meaning of this sentence.

Haven't the outside world always been wondering where all the extraordinary beings have gone throughout the ages?

In my personal opinion, they are all dead, having died under the increasingly severe test of the killing game.

Whenever a session of spiritual energy recovery comes to an end, its difficulty will suddenly increase, and 99% of the current players can be wiped out.

The Killing Fields Game will not allow truly transcendent immortal species, or even immortal species, to appear within its jurisdiction.

As long as you become a player, you are bound to die, and it is impossible to live beyond the average lifespan of a mortal.

The only way for powerful extraordinary beings in ancient times to avoid death was to gather the power of faith, abandon their own will, and become gods.

In this way, even if their true bodies die in the killing field game,

It can also rely on mortals to continue to praise their deeds, spread their stories, and remember their [concepts] to maintain its own existence.

In the hope that spiritual energy will rise and the Kingdom of God will revive,

Wake up again. "

Bass slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said quietly: "King Shibi, in mythology, is just a mortal who accidentally became a Buddha.

If even he could form a Buddhist kingdom and live to modern times, then what about the other gods, Buddhas and immortals who have not been completely buried by the long river of history?

If now is the dawn moment that the gods and Buddhas have longed for,

So what attitude will they take when they wake up to face us in the modern world? "

The question of sea bass made the atmosphere in the box become quiet and depressing.

The witch held Meow Meow's head and rubbed the latter's furry chin, thoughtfully.

Wang Hu and LAN looked solemn.

"Perch, these... theories of the resurrection of gods,"

Wang Hu looked at Basi and asked seriously: "Is there more evidence?"

"A little."

Bass nodded, "Do you want me to tell this information to the extraordinary organizations in various regions so that they can take precautions?"

"Um."

Wang Hu nodded slowly, "If those gods really wake up, then whether it is for extraordinary institutions or ordinary people,

Still, it’s not good news for us modern gamers. "

"I guess even if those extraordinary organizations know about it, they probably won't change anything."

Bai Bai smiled bitterly and said: "In the concept of mysticism, as long as the gods are using the power of faith formed by the wishes of all living beings, they will inevitably be affected by the wishes of all living beings.

You cannot do anything that goes against the will of all sentient beings or against your own vocation.

In a sense, the free will of oneself as an independent individual has been lost.

In other words, after receiving the news of the god's resurrection, the extraordinary organization

The most prioritized option is most likely to use the will power of sentient beings.

To influence and interfere with the gods.

Just like the European Heavy Industries Group, when they discovered a slowly waking up King Shibi, their first thought was not to eliminate it, but to destroy it.

But use, constrain, and control.

No one can withstand the wrath of a god, but no one can refuse the temptation to enslave a god. "
