Chapter 4078 Luck
"What happened next..." Luigi sighed, "Forget it, you can see for yourself."
Luigi signaled to the water clone to help control the previous live broadcast footage.
The water clone did not refuse. The current picture was too dull and there had been no new changes for a long time. Even if it was replayed, it would not have any impact.
As the water clone quickly replayed, the scene that had happened on the Yunjing bus was also presented on the light screen.
"This old man! There are so many empty seats in the cockpit, but he insists on staying right under our noses. He has bad intentions."
After the old man in red sat down, before Coleman could do anything, Satan spoke first.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other passengers in the car were stunned. Many of them turned their heads and looked at Satan from a distance. They did not say anything, but just used their eyes to express "You are so brave".
Coleman already felt bad after hearing Satan's words, and after seeing the shocked and sympathetic eyes of the other passengers, he felt even worse!
I clearly told Satan to try not to talk before we got in the car, why didn't this guy stop!
Coleman cursed in his heart and bowed to the old man in red, indicating that what he had just said was not what he meant.
Originally, the old man in red just looked at the person beside him with a faint look.
But now, Coleman's body was saluting respectfully, but the flame on his neck looked reluctant, which made the old man's eyes glow with interest.
"Interesting." His voice was soft and soothing, and his tone was not sharp, but Coleman felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
"You're already so old, and you're still saying such immature things." Purple Flame pouted: "Should I reply with 'things are getting interesting'?"
As soon as Satan finished speaking, Coleman swung his big hand and smashed Satan into the grid below his neck.
The meaning is very clear: stop talking nonsense to me.
Although Satan was very rebellious, Coleman was the main body and he could not resist at all. He could only say "I will be back" before being smashed under the neck and disappeared.
Then Coleman apologized to the old man in red again using sign language.
He didn't want to have any accidents happen because of offending some important person.
The old man in red did not make any move, but just watched the interaction between Coleman and Satan quietly. When Satan disappeared below his neck, he slowly said: "They are twins of the evil fire clan, but their fire bodies are like ordinary people. They are really excellent offerings..."
Coleman was shocked: "?!!"
His identity was actually recognized!
Not only were the Evil Fire Clan right, but even the fact that they were twins was confirmed. Who is this person?
"The original body is in control, but it has given its speech ability to the clone. Interesting, very interesting." The old man in red had a twinkling eye. Under Coleman's gaze, he slowly said, "Korngro actually left this interesting sacrifice to wander around. It's such a waste."
Who is Cohengro?
Coleman wanted to ask, but because Satan was taken away, he could not speak and could only stand there.
He had a feeling that he might have been targeted by the old man in red, and that things might get bad...
He now only hoped that the Ice Girl could see the situation clearly and not get involved, so as to avoid being targeted by the old man in red. In this way, even if he and Satan were targeted later, the Ice Girl could still find a way to borrow strength from outside...
However, his expectations were soon dashed, because the old man in red actually looked at the Ice Girl again.
“Although ordinary ice materials cannot compare to evil fire, they are equally intelligent. The effect should be better if ice and fire are used together.” The old man in red spoke slowly, but the meaning behind his words was extremely vicious.
"Was Cohengro really stupid to let you two go, or was this a hook?"
The old man in red seemed to be lost in thought.
The Ice Girl then slowly moved. She stretched out her hand and used the frosty white air to write a line of words on the mirror surface reflected by her body: Who are you? Who is Cohengro?
The Ice Girl also knew that they were targeting her, and Coleman was temporarily unable to speak. Considering that they would most likely "die" later, the Ice Girl decided to get information from the other party before she "died".
At the very least, their deaths should have some value, so that when I enter on time in the next round, I might be able to avenge them.
The old man in red: "Another one who can't speak? Then this ice and fire sacrifice is even better. Gods love balance. Silent evil fire and silent frost and ice, a perfect team!"
The old man in red seemed to have regarded the Ice Girl and Coleman as sacrifices at this time, and the possessiveness in his eyes was extremely obvious.
"You don't know Cohengro? But aren't you using Cohengro's tickets?" The old man in red paused, as if thinking of something: "If it wasn't given to you by Cohengro, could it be Caesar or Reginald?"
When he mentioned Reginald, he noticed the Ice Girl's eyes flickered.
"So it was Reginald who gave you the tickets. Haha, that's right. That guy is very rebellious. He doesn't care about rituals or sacrifices. He relied on his talent to reach the position of authority, but he still doesn't belong to the Blood Faction."
"Come to think of it, I once wanted to persuade Reginald to rebel, but unfortunately, he was too obsessed."
After the old man in red finished speaking, he nodded and said, "It makes sense that he will let you go."
When the old man in red said this, the Ice Girl had actually guessed Cohengro's identity.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should be the other two persons in charge of the Temple of the Corpse.
Before, Edward had mentioned that there were three persons in charge of the Temple of the Corpse, namely the person with higher authority, the person with middle authority, and the person with lower authority.
Among them, Reginald is a person of lower authority.
Then Cohengro and Caesar mentioned by the old man in red just now should be the remaining two persons with authority.
At the same time, the answer to why the old man in red sat next to them as soon as he entered the cockpit was also revealed: the other party could sense the ticket.
Perhaps there was something special about the Yunjing Bus tickets, which allowed the other party to find out that they were from the "Blood-spreading Faction" as soon as they came in. Considering that he himself said that he had tried to incite Reginald to rebel, the old man in red was most likely an enemy of the Blood-spreading Faction.
In other words, even without Satan's provocation, the old man in red had already started to have ideas about them after he found out that their tickets came from the Blood-Swallowing Sect.
Otherwise, why would he go out of his way to sit next to them?
After analyzing this information, Bingnv was still a little excited. She usually doesn't do any intellectual training, and now she can analyze to this level, it should be okay, right?
Then, the Ice Girl wiped away the question about "Koengero" on the mirror, leaving only the original question: Who are you?
"Who am I?" The old man in red did not answer, but said with a smile: "You will know soon."
……
At this point in the scene, Luigi paused.
"That's about the end of their conversation with the man in red. The old man at the back didn't say anything else. He just stared at Coleman and the Ice Girl sinisterly."
"Then, Coleman discovered the rule that violence is not allowed on the Whale Cloud Bus. They tried to stay on the Whale Cloud Bus to avoid being watched by the red-clothed men when they got off the bus."
"But the other party had already made up their minds to attack them, and the Yunjing bus would also clear the cabin after arriving at Yungang City. So, they finally got off the bus in Yungang City."
At this point, Luigi signaled the water clone to reflect the appearance of Cloud Harbor City on the live broadcast screen.
Because of the viewing angle, they only saw part of the scene of Yunjing Wharf in Yungang City, but from the magnificent building and the countless robotic arms like Tallinn, they could see the advancement and grandeur of Yunjing Wharf.
A glimpse of the whole picture shows that the Yunjing Wharf is already so stunning, and Yungang City is probably even more magnificent.
However, they could not see the full picture of Yungang City for the time being, because as soon as Fu got out of the car, Coleman and Bingnv were ready to escape.
However, the man in red did not give them any chance at all. The moment he left the Yunjing bus, he murmured, "The ceremony is complete."
Next, Coleman and the Ice Girl were like people trapped in a Minotaur's labyrinth. No matter how they tried to escape, they could not find the exit.
The man in red only needs to take a step to easily come in front of them.
As the man in red gave them a kind but cold smile, their vision went dark.
Coleman and the Ice Girl fell into a coma at the same time.
When they woke up, they were tied up... But this time they were not in a palace, but inside an empty factory.
The above is what happened when Ingres was meditating.
"Their luck seems a bit bad." After watching it, Angel felt that Coleman and the Ice Girl had extremely bad luck. They had just escaped from the dragon's den and fell into the tiger's den again.
Moreover, it is still difficult to avoid.
After all, they met the man in red on the Yunjing bus, and he was heading straight for them, so they couldn’t get off the bus midway...
Luigi said that the current situation was all due to Satan's mouth. But in Angel's opinion, even without Satan's mouth, this would be difficult to avoid.
"Have you noticed that it's not just them who have bad luck. In fact, the challengers from the Crystal Eye Tribe have bad luck as well." The water clone suddenly said at this time.
Angel nodded: "Found it."
The water clone sat on the sofa, tapping the armrest unconsciously with his slender fingers: "Do you think this is a target of the world consciousness?"
Angel muttered in a low voice: "Targeting the world consciousness?"
"Yes, just like you said before, the challenger entered the ritual world through unconventional means, which is actually a kind of 'invasion'."
"The unconventional means of invasion may have activated the world consciousness, causing the luck of all entrants to begin to deteriorate."
The water clone's words were not random guesses, as many illegal immigrants experience similar situations.
When you enter another world through unconventional means, there will be a period of "rejection" during which your fortune will plummet. It will not be until you adapt to this world that things will gradually ease. In a sense, this is the punishment of the world's will on the intruder.
Some stowaways may even die if they cannot adapt to the new world. This is what happened to Jon.
Therefore, world consciousness is directed at objective facts.
However, there are also worlds that do not target illegal immigrants, such as the Nightmare Realm, the Dream Realm, the Mirror Realm... these special worlds; for example, some worlds that are open in nature, such as the Abyss, the Panic Realm, and the Dark Corner.
Also, in a world where the rules are not perfect, pan-consciousness is lacking, and there generally will not be this kind of "targeting".
The ritual world is an imperfect world, and for this reason, Ingres did not think about it in this direction at first.
But now after the reminder from the water clone, Angel thought about it carefully and felt that maybe it was really possible.
The rules of the ritual world are not perfect, but perhaps their world consciousness is complete, and they have a strong rejection of illegal immigrants, so there is a "rejection period with declining fortune."
"If that's the case, then I feel like the main mission 1, surviving for thirty days, won't be easy to complete."
"The moon is shining all day, the red moon appears in the sky once every ten days, and the world consciousness is targeting us..." Angel felt that the challengers' future was bleak just by thinking about it.
Angel suddenly thought of something: "Come to think of it, Edward doesn't seem to be in this situation? His fortune seems to be rising instead of falling?"
As soon as Edward entered the ritual world, he met an old acquaintance. Not only did he escape danger, but he also stayed in the Temple of the Corpse, which allowed him to avoid the moonlight and resist the red moon.
From this point of view, Edward is really lucky.
"Perhaps it's because his soul has been branded in the ritual world, so this decline in fortune did not befall him." Angel guessed.
After all, Edward had lived in the Yi World for eight hundred years, and he had probably left a mark on the world's consciousness a long time ago. Therefore, his return was not only not targeted, but also provided convenience.
"So, Coleman and the others might have made the wrong choice before. They should have followed Edward." Luigi said.
Water clone: "It's useless to say this now, but next time, I can suggest that the original body choose the timely clone to go find Edward first."
When the man in red appeared, the water clone no longer believed that Coleman and the others could survive, and even began to think about the plan for the next week.
Although she had not experienced it personally, she could tell from the live broadcast that the man in red was very powerful, at least a formal wizard or above.
Maybe even higher.
Coleman and the Ice Girl are no different from ordinary people now. Although one can set a small fire and the other can spread some frost, that's all.
When facing the man in red, let alone fighting back, dying early would be a relief.
"Where is the man in red now?" Angel looked at the live broadcast screen. At present, it seemed that although Coleman and the Ice Girl were tied up, there seemed to be no one else at the scene.
Luigi: "The red men captured them and brought them here..."
Afterwards, a group of people in priest robes appeared in the factory. They should be the men of the man in red.
They reported their work in front of Coleman.
"According to their conversation, the man in red was going to arrange a ceremony, and Coleman and the Ice Girl were the sacrifices." Luigi paused, "After that, the group brought a large number of ritual utensils, and the man in red arranged them from inside the factory to outside."
Luigi pointed specifically to the empty factory floor, and to a strange shape outlined by the golden powder.
These were arranged by the man in red.
"So, if nothing unexpected happens, the man in red should be setting up the ritual outside the factory right now."
Hearing this, not to mention the water clone, Angel also felt that Coleman and the others were hopeless...
