Chapter 224 The incident is over... temporarily
“Huh…Huh…”
Mo Cheng sat down panting. The battle with Ichikiel, as well as the subsequent calming of the earthquake and even the holding back of the sinking and civilian areas, had almost exhausted all his strength.
After taking a look at the rich area and the magic area above his head , Mo Cheng just made sure that those places would not fall down and then stopped paying attention to them.
He was not even very worried about the current situation of the sinking area and the civilian area. As long as they did not fall directly into the ground, the Aundair royal family would definitely find a way to pull the sinking area and the civilian area back to the ground.
If for no other reason, Fairhaven is the capital of the Principality of Aundair, and no country would have its capital so "indecent".
Moreover, the civilian area and the sinking area are the outer areas of Fairhaven. The sinking of these two areas makes Fairhaven like an isolated island standing in a tiankeng. If those two areas are not pulled up, Fairhaven will not be able to attract caravans, and even taxes from all over the country will not be able to be brought in.
As for the malicious things under the sinkhole, Mo Cheng didn't know their origins, but the Aundair royal family should know something. He guessed that the establishment of Fairhaven here, as well as the location of the war fortress and the Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy, were probably related to the things under the sinkhole.
Although the sinking area and the civilian area were more than 20 meters away from Fairhaven, fortunately they did not fall directly to the bottom, and the things below could not come up. At this moment, Mo Cheng knew very well that the things below the tiankeng and the things in the other two areas were basically none of his business.
That is something the Aundair royal family should consider. He has done everything he can.
In order to kill Ichikiel before the time was up, Mo Cheng even unlocked the memory that he was absolutely unwilling to unlock, the killing he did in the [Foreign Land] to prove his strength and for pleasure.
Mo Cheng could understand that once he recalled his original memories, and the pleasant feeling he had at that time from killing and improving himself, it would be difficult for him to maintain his mentality.
When the body spontaneously recalled the pleasure of killing, there was no need to think about what Mo Cheng would do at that time. Especially since he had a plug-in that could upgrade by killing, and he had killed many people in the [Foreign Land].
At that time, Mo Cheng would not stop, nor would he have the slightest mercy. When the desire to kill filled his body, he would seek pleasure. He would be the most ruthless and terrifying demon.
But at this moment, Mo Cheng was unwilling to do such a thing, even though he had done the same thing in the past.
But human beings are like that. In the past, they solemnly promised that they would not become the person they hated the most, but in the future, they will feel ashamed and unhappy about the stupid things they did in the past, and even want to strangle their former selves.
So at that time Mo Cheng pretended to fall into the trap and hit Ichikiel's chest to give him a chance, a chance to use [Atonement] on him.
Mo Cheng closed his eyes. [Atonement] did not have the desired effect on him. Or rather, [Atonement], driven by all the power and vitality of the Eighth Step of Ichikiel, only isolated his mind from that part of his past memories.
Now when I recall the memories of the past killings in the [Foreign Land], they are as blurry as if they were through a thick fogged window.
Moreover, as time goes by, the power of [Atonement] will become weaker and weaker without replenishment, until one day it can no longer be maintained, causing Mo Cheng's thoughts and past memories to completely merge.
Mo Cheng sighed helplessly when he thought of this. It was fine that he was young and ignorant and indulged in the holographic game with a strong sense of reality, but he played a killer. And he didn't know why he ran into this world that was just like a game. Mo Cheng was also very confused.
It's like a child who has been accustomed to scalding ant nests with boiling water since childhood. If he suddenly encounters a thoughtful and intelligent ant-man one day, he will probably subconsciously scald him with a pot of hot water.
"Fortunately, Ichikiel is not smart, or he also realized that I was using him, but he chose to take a gamble when he could not escape death."
Did Ichikiel finally realize Mo Cheng's plan? Mo Cheng guessed that he probably knew it, but like Mo Cheng, Ichikiel had absolute confidence in the power of "Atonement". He was sure that Mo Cheng would be twisted by the power of "Atonement", from a murderous butcher to the most holy saint.
But Izekiel's plan was wrong. Not only could [Atonement] not distort Mo Cheng, it couldn't even completely isolate that part of his memory.
However, this also met Mo Cheng's expectations. He used the power of [Atonement] to first isolate his thinking from being influenced by that part of the memory, and then used his own thinking as the leading factor to slowly and without being influenced imperceptibly get the memory back.
If we allow that part of the memory to return and merge directly, it would be like pouring boiling water into a hot oil pan.
With the isolation of [Atonement], Mo Cheng's behavior is like slowly pouring hot water into cold water, which can minimize the impact of his alienation.
…
After killing Ichikiel and stopping the [Earth Vibrator], the system log seemed to jump several times.
But Mo Cheng no longer had the mind to check his gains, and he didn't even have the mind to camouflage the battlefield.
He was very tired now and just wanted to go back to Albert House and sleep.
First, he took Mishas to a double ranking match in the Dragon Laboratory, and spent a lot of effort to reconstruct a heart to revive Mishas. After leaving the dungeon, he did not rest, but ran directly back to Fairhaven with Mishas in his arms. Then he encountered an earthquake and had a life-and-death game with Ichikiel.
This does not even include the aftereffects of unlocking one's past memories. When it comes to spiritual things, most of the time one can only rely on oneself to overcome them.
Now Mo Cheng could feel fatigue emanating from his whole body. He just wanted to lie down in his familiar bed and sleep for three days and three nights.
Standing up, Mo Cheng suppressed his tiredness and planned to help his teammates who were still fighting. Although they couldn't face Ichikiel directly, it was because of them that Mo Cheng didn't need to waste time slowly clearing the soldiers along the way.
But before Mo Cheng could go to help, Margaret had already climbed over several broken walls and walked back. Although the leader of the law enforcement team had many wounds on her body, judging from her condition, the winner was obvious.
Margaret's return was like a signal, and Ralph and Lonnie came back here one after another. As for the fate of their enemies, Mo Cheng felt that there was no need to ask.
Then, the members of the law enforcement team and the knights who were used to stop the blockers also gathered here one after another. Although many of them were injured, some were even seriously injured. But with the micro-light ointment specially provided by Mo Cheng, they at least had a chance to be discovered by their teammates and then brought to Mo Cheng for treatment.
When everyone had gathered, Mo Cheng took out Ichikiel's head with a smile.
"Everyone, the culprit of the earthquake incident has been killed by me."
