Chapter 153 "The Congressman Also Has His Own Son" (4)
In the Lishan Technology Field Base, the gang members who were captured one after another were planning to escape.
The members of the Gerolamo Gang appear to be working diligently in the foundry, but in fact they are always keeping an eye on the situation of the Tokawa Group, because they know that the Tokawa Group will surely lose their patience first, and as long as they create chaos when the Tokawa Group escapes, it will be their best opportunity.
These brainless youngsters are obviously the best targets for exploitation.
Not long after, the members of the Daochuan group who went to the medical center came back one after another. It was obvious that they did not find any good opportunities there.
This is normal. After all, there are many injured people in the medical clinic. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, many serious casualties will occur. Lishan Technology will definitely strengthen the security forces here.
It seems that the only way to escape is from the processing plant.
Soon, the Daochuan Group found a time when the defense was relatively lax and tried to escape. Members of the Gerolamo Gang were also ready to move, waiting for the outdoor base to become chaotic so that they could run away.
The Daochuan Group seemed to be running smoothly, and the guards of Lishan Technology seemed to be lax. They just loudly warned in the base that such behavior would be regarded as an invasion, just like breaking into the base by force, and the consequences would be borne by the user.
The people from Daochuan Group didn't care at all and kept running outside. Seeing that there was no movement in the entire Lishan Technology Field Base, it seemed that success was just around the corner.
Many people from other gangs also ran away, and the Gerolamo gang was also ready to make a move, but the second boss Ricardo finally remained rational, as he felt that there was something fishy going on!
There is no reason for the defense to be so lax. This is totally unlike the style of Lishan Technology.
Just when the Gerolamo gang members were about to question Ricardo for being too cowardly once again, something strange happened. An electric current suddenly burst out from the columnar buildings that everyone thought were just power transmission stations, directly knocking the gang members who wanted to escape to the ground!
In the Lishan Technology Field Base, crackling sounds of electric currents came one after another, and all the gang members who wanted to escape were given electric shocks at an extremely fast speed, and they all fell to the ground, without a single one left.
The people of the Gerolamo Gang were completely terrified. They didn't expect that this field base looked ordinary, but in fact it was full of lethal weapons! Even the telephone poles scattered throughout the base had such strong lethality?
What they didn't know was that this was the result of deliberately reducing the power. If it were at its most efficient, this would be enough to paralyze some heavy tanks.
The members of the Gerolamo gang were once again impressed by the wisdom of the second boss. If they had also run out, there would be a dozen more people lying on the ground.
Those who escaped were dragged into the medical clinic again. Seeing their miserable condition, the gang members in the foundry began to work silently and completely gave up the idea of escaping.
…
Grantham, controlled by Chen She, finally got in touch with the Knights of Time and Space again.
After the previous war, the crazy people of the Spacetime Knights were obviously seriously injured, but in the eyes of the Spacetime Knights, this operation was very successful. Chen She didn't quite understand how these people defined "success", but he was getting more and more used to their thinking.
The members of the Time and Space Knights were very happy about Grantham's return, because they all thought that Grantham had gone to the time and space world.
But besides the joy, there was more confusion and shock.
Because according to Meredith and Ferdinand, Grantham had gone out of control and self-destructed in order to resist the corporate army and cover their evacuation!
In their knowledge system, once entering a state of being out of control, it is absolutely irreversible. To put it nicely, it means entering the world of time and space, and to put it bluntly, it means death without a burial place.
But Grantham clearly exploded out of control, but he was fine, nothing happened, and he was able to attend the meeting of the Knights of Time and Space as usual. No matter how you look at it, this is too bizarre!
No matter how strong a person's synesthesia is, it is impossible to reverse the fundamental laws. Moreover, Grantham is not an extremely rare profession that can create miracles. He is just a very common manipulator.
The Yellow Priest was the first to raise doubts and suspected that there was something wrong with this Grantham. It was possible that some people in the Corporate Alliance who had mastered the ability of synesthesia were disguising themselves as Grantham to gather intelligence.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the meeting suddenly became tense.
But Chen She had already thought of an excuse.
He told everyone a story: he did blow himself up, but after that, he entered the space-time world and began to drift aimlessly. He thought it was a long time, as if he had drifted for decades, but in reality, only a short time had passed.
Originally, he was about to gradually forget himself, but at this moment, a mysterious power found him. It not only helped him resist the erosion of the time and space world, allowing him to maintain his self, but also taught him some knowledge of the time and space world, allowing him to gain power from the time and space world.
Then, this power sent him back to the real world through a method he did not understand. However, although he was back, his body could not recover. Now he could only parasitize on an ordinary body and his strength had to be slowly restored.
The Yellow Priest scoffed at this statement, thinking that Grantham was making it up.
In fact, although the Time and Space Knights believe in time and space, they will definitely say "Let's meet in the time and space world" before self-destructing, but in fact this is just like wishing others to go to heaven after death. No one really believes it.
Being able to come back from the world of time and space is like someone claiming that he saw God in heaven and that God resurrected him. It is too unreliable.
But the highest-ranking red-robed priest seemed a little excited and began to ask for more details.
For example: What does the world of time and space look like? What is the mysterious power that saved you? What are its characteristics? What knowledge of the world of time and space was imparted to you ? What was the specific process of returning to reality like? Did the mysterious power tell you anything else? Did it let you pass on certain information to reality?
The Yellow Priest was expecting to see Grantham make a fool of himself because he didn't think Grantham could answer these questions.
Grantham could only make up a story, but it would be easy to expose the truth in front of the red priests who had more knowledge of time and space. As long as there was any loophole, the red priests would definitely be able to expose his lies immediately.
But unexpectedly, Grantham spoke eloquently and answered questions fluently.
Because before Chen She came, he had already thought that the other party would ask this question, and he had already got the answer from Epsilon in advance.
In fact, everything Grantham said is entirely possible to come true. Epsilon is an example of someone who entered the world of time and space and remained alive.
Of course, Epsilon's situation is special. He is a top energy fluctuation curse scholar, so he can survive in the space-time world and absorb knowledge bit by bit to maintain his consciousness.
If Grantham died in reality, he would most likely disappear in the world of time and space.
But in the lie that Chen She had made up, Grantham was saved by Epsilon. Epsilon was able to survive in the space-time world for so long and had such powerful knowledge of space-time, so it made sense that he saved Grantham and then sent him back to reality.
As for why Epsilon himself did not come back, this is also easy to explain: Epsilon's strength is too strong, so it cannot pass through the gap between the space-time world and the real world. However, the energy fluctuation level of Gransom is not high, so it is still possible for Epsilon to do it.
As for the questions raised by the Red Priest, they naturally did not pose any difficulty for Chen She. After all, as long as he answered according to Epsilon's instructions, no one would be able to find fault with them. No one understood the world of time and space better than Epsilon.
As for Epsilon, he would of course be happy to see Chen She occupy a high position in the Knights of Time and Space, so that he would be more likely to take over this body in advance, and many things after taking over would be easier.
So, after some questions and answers, everyone was shocked.
Because even the red-robed priest with the most knowledge of time and space could not find any fault with it, and even felt that what Grantham said was true!
You know, when Epsilon was the high priest, Grantham had not yet joined the Knights of Time and Space. In these years, Grantham was just a priest and had no chance to come into contact with the upper echelons of the Knights of Time and Space. There was no reason for him to obtain any information about Epsilon.
But in this case, everything Grantham said pointed to Epsilon, which in itself was even more bizarre than his return from the world of time and space.
How could he know all this if he hadn't really met Epsilon in the world of time and space?
And, the most important thing is that Grantham's words gave the Red Priest hope.
Although many people had previously firmly believed that Epsilon was not dead and would definitely return, after so much time had passed, there was still no sign that this prophecy would come true, which inevitably made people doubt it.
But now, the return of Grantham proved that Epsilon was indeed still alive in the world of time and space, proved that the goal of the Knights of Time and Space was extremely correct, and proved that all the efforts and persistence of the Knights of Time and Space were not in vain.
It can be said to be of extraordinary significance!
As a result, the nature of the meeting quickly changed, and no one dared to question Grantham's statement anymore.
From all aspects, it is a foregone conclusion that Grantham will become the black priest.
The two priests, Meredith and Ferdinand, had mistakenly believed that Grantham was going to trick them when they were on a mission before. However, at the last moment in the Dawn City Council Building, Grantham cooperated with the sudden change in time and space activities to summon a large number of time and space creatures, causing great chaos. Not only did he miraculously evacuate from the encirclement of the Corporate Army, he also personally covered their retreat, providing the two of them with a precious chance to escape.
Coupled with what they had seen and heard at the Time and Space Knights' Dawn City branch before, they became more and more certain that Grantham might even become the next high priest of the Time and Space Knights, so they have become Grantham's staunch supporters.
And their attitude obviously also affected the judgment of other priests.
Coupled with the "miracle" of Grantham's return from the world of time and space, everyone looked at him with admiration.
Therefore, at the meeting, Grantham became a black priest because of his "outstanding performance" in the previous period, and the sphere of influence under his control was further expanded.
The next step is to choose the area that you are in charge of.
The Knights of Space and Time is also an organization spread throughout the Old Land, and once one reaches the level of high priest, it is obviously not for the sake of taking advantage. After gaining higher power within the Knights, one must also shoulder more responsibilities: to cause trouble in wider areas and to do bigger things.
But the yellow-robed priest was obviously a little nervous, because a large area of the northern continent was originally under his jurisdiction.
According to common sense, after a priest is promoted to a senior priest, he will definitely give priority to the area near his original city. Grantham, who has just been promoted to a black priest, is likely to choose the Northern Continent.
This will lead to a conflict between the yellow priests and the black priests. If the yellow priest originally thought that Grantham was not to be feared, he is now panicked.
Because the result of the conflict will definitely be that the Yellow Priest will be driven to the Western Continent where few people are willing to go. After all, Grantham's status in the upper echelons of the Knights of Time and Space is no longer what it used to be.
Unexpectedly, Grantham did not choose the Northern Continent, but the Western Continent instead.
Although there are some areas of influence of the Space-Time Knights there, they are far inferior to the Northern Federal District and the Central Federal District. It is a place that most high-ranking priests do not want to go to.
Although this place is indeed chaotic, it is too marginal. In this place, no matter how big the incident is, it will not become a big news. On the contrary, because of the intricate forces, it is easy to cause problems.
What's more, the corporate war is about to break out on a large scale, and the Western Continent is one of the main battlefields.
With Grantham's insistence, he successfully took over all branches of the Knights of Time and Space in the Western Continent.
