Chapter 75 Indicators and Tasks
Before Cocker could react, light golden space-time particles had already emerged from Chen She's hands, penetrated into his head, and entered his brain, completely rewriting his consciousness.
The other two knights and the remaining 20 or so believers tried to escape in terror, but the space-time creatures controlled by Chen She were like sheepdogs chasing sheep, and blocked them all back.
They simply had nowhere to go.
Although the space-time creatures of the two knights had been killed, they still wanted to fight to the death and rushed towards Chen She frantically.
However, the next second, Kirker suddenly turned around and punched the two knights in the abdomen with two heavy punches, leaving them unable to resist.
Chen She grabbed the heads of the two men with both hands and completed the rewriting of their consciousness in the same way.
Coker, no, it should be said that Gao Jingwu stretched his muscles and bones. "This body is a bit weak. A time traveler with a single synesthesia profession is very different from my original fighting style, but I can adapt to it."
The two knights also raised their heads and looked at Chen She and said, "Captain."
The remaining 20 or so believers wanted to escape, but under the siege of four people, most of them were eventually caught by Chen She, who instilled the consciousness of the rebels in the other side of the space into their brains, replacing their original consciousness.
Four or five church members were so desperate that they wanted to commit suicide attacks to fight to the death, but their synesthesia abilities were so poor that they were easily controlled by Chen She.
It’s a pity that their bodies are no longer usable. Only half of the sacrificed resistance soldiers in the other side of the space have possessed the bodies of these members of the Space-Time Knights.
Of course, there are still many homeless people in the branches of the Space Knights. But for Chen She, these homeless people are innocent. If they forcibly take their bodies for the use of the resistance fighters, it is equivalent to killing them in a sense.
Therefore, Chen She only transformed all the middle-level personnel such as the knights and believers in the Knights of Time and Space, and as for those innocent vagrants who were captured, Chen She planned to arrange them to his own foundry.
There were not enough available bodies, and there was nothing that could be done about it. Chen She felt that there would always be better opportunities in the future.
Soon, the entire branch of the Spacetime Knights was completely controlled by Chen She.
Although on the surface the people here are all knights and followers of the Space-Time Knights, in fact they have all become rebels.
Gao Jingwu asked: "What should we do next? Leave here?"
It is obvious that the resistance fighters, including Gao Jingwu, don't like this place very much. To them, it is dark and gloomy here, and they always feel like rats in the gutter.
Perhaps only an abnormal organization like the Space-Time Knights, who like to hide their identities, would like to live in a place like this for a long time.
Chen She shook his head and said, "Not for now."
"There is actually a node here that is connected to the headquarters of the Spacetime Knights. We can move away, but this node cannot be moved."
The node that Chen She mentioned is a bit like some special altar. It is connected by a special synaesthesia architecture, which allows the various branches of the Spacetime Knights to communicate with the headquarters in real time, and can even transmit some special substances, such as spacetime particles.
Whether the headquarters provides material support to the branch, or the branch hands over space-time particles to the headquarters, it all needs to go through this channel .
Although this connection node was not particularly complicated for Chen She, and he could replicate it with his knowledge of synaesthesia, the problem was that the establishment of this node was bidirectional. It was a bit like a portal, which had to be built at both the starting point and the end point to connect.
In other words, if Chen She wants to move, this connection node must be re-established, and the headquarters must give the nod during the establishment process.
Chen She didn't have the confidence that he could fool all the high-ranking officials of the Spacetime Knights' headquarters for the time being. Moving at this time was neither legitimate nor justifiable, and would also seem very abrupt.
What's more, transferring this connection node requires a large amount of space-time particles. Although Chen She is relatively wealthy now, there is no point in spending money on such things.
Chen She said: "I understand that everyone doesn't like this place, but in fact they just don't like the living environment here."
"These crazy people in the Spacetime Knights don't care much about living conditions. As long as they can be with spacetime creatures, they will be very comfortable. But of course it's not possible for normal people like us."
"But this problem doesn't necessarily need to be solved by moving. We can also build this place and make it more livable."
In this way, Chen She's cunning rabbit had one more cave.
Experience stores, branches of the Space Knights, and bases of the resistance army in the wild. Chen She can make all these places impregnable and cultivate them into forces that are completely loyal to him. Even if the corporate army comes to attack, he can rely on these bases to deal with them for a long time.
Although the living conditions at the Spacetime Knights branch underground in Dawn City are a bit poor, it is obviously safer than the experience store on the ground.
Gao Jingwu and other rebel fighters nodded, agreeing with Chen She's statement.
Chen She said: "Next, I will find a way to buy a piece of land from the ground, transform it into a hidden entrance, open up the connection with the underground, and then send all these homeless people to the foundry."
"Then we will conduct a comprehensive and secret transformation of the underground space."
"We still have to preserve this branch of the Spacetime Knights as much as possible. In some extreme cases, this identity may be of special use to us. However, this plan of changing the cage and replacing the bird requires everyone to cooperate with me."
Gao Jingwu smiled and said, "No problem. It's nice to change your identity occasionally."
Chen She recounted some details about the Spacetime Knights' internal affairs to the resistance fighters who had just successfully taken over other people's bodies, and then he made a simple count of the remaining supplies in the Spacetime Knights' branch.
There are some supplies necessary for the daily operation of the maintenance branch, such as daily food, drinking water and other supplies, etc. These are completely meaningless to Chen She. After all, the people of the Space-Time Knights have very low material needs, so both food and drinking water are quite makeshift.
The most valuable thing is only the space-time particles.
Grantham had said before that the target given to him was to collect 2,000 units of space-time particles. Before the first sneak attack on the warehouse of the Fujido Group base, the Space-Time Knights had collected more than 700 units of space-time particles, and after the attack on the Fujido Group's warehouse, they obtained more than 500 units of space-time particles.
However, the consumption of these space-time particles was also very serious. Chen She counted the remaining space-time particles in the warehouse and found that there were only a little over 900 left.
Obviously, a large number of space-time particles were consumed by Grantham in the previous military operation against the Fujido Group.
The resistance army directly obtained all the space-time particles stored in the Naraku Project from the Fujido Group, a total of more than 1,800 units. In other words, Chen She currently has more than 2,700 units of space-time particles on hand, which has completely reached the target issued by the Space-Time Knights Headquarters to the Dawn City Branch.
Chen She was briefly confused about how to use these space-time particles.
In fact, there are only two usages.
The first is to report directly to the headquarters of the Spacetime Knights that the operation has failed and the mission has not been completed, and then naturally swallow up the more than 900 units of spacetime particles in the warehouse for the daily development of Lishan Technology.
The second option is to report the success of the operation to the headquarters of the Spacetime Knights and successfully obtain 2,000 units of spacetime particles to be handed over.
The risks of the first option are completely uncontrollable.
This time, Grantham's military operation directly involved most of the Dawn City branch's forces. If he paid such a painful price but got nothing in return, then even if the top leaders did not doubt him, he would at least be charged with dereliction of duty.
Will the top leaders of the Space-Time Knights still have faith in him? Will they still have faith in the ability of the Dawn City branch to do things?
The most likely possibility is that the top leaders of the Spacetime Knights will directly send new priests to take over the Spacetime Knights' branch in Dawn City, or even a major change of personnel.
This is definitely not what Chen She wants to see. If such a thing really happens, the risk for Chen She will increase sharply and he will never have peace.
So the second option would be more sensible.
If enough time and space examples are submitted, it will prove that Grantham still has a strong ability to do things and can do everything possible to complete the targets assigned by the headquarters .
By then, the casualties and losses of these personnel will be completely acceptable. After all, the style of the Time and Space Knights is to complete the goal at all costs, and whether the losses are bigger or smaller is not that important.
Although 2,000 units of space-time particles may be a bit painful, it is an expense that cannot be avoided for safety reasons.
But besides this, are there any other options?
Chen She had a general idea in his mind and decided to give it a try.
However, this idea may not succeed. If it fails, we can only adopt the second method and honestly submit the 2,000-unit space-time examples.
Chen She finally went over Grantham's related memories in his mind and finally determined that Grantham actually had no accurate concept of where these 2,000 units of space-time particles would be used.
Because the headquarters of the Spacetime Knights only ever issues orders and never gives clear explanations.
Hopefully, we can vaguely infer from Grantham's memory that these space-time particles are most likely used to support the Space-Time Knights in attacking some large cities.
The Space-Time Knights are an organization that causes headaches for all the forces in the Old Land. The reason is that they don't care about anything and only want all mankind to embrace space-time creatures and fulfill Epsilon's legacy.
But what should they do if no organization in the old land cooperates with them?
They can only continue to create chaos and carry out attacks in big cities. The more people are displaced, the faster .
It has to be said that such simple and direct thinking is very consistent with the thought process of the Knights of Time and Space.
Starting from this point, Chen She felt that he might be able to find a way to keep these 2,000 units of space-time particles in his own hands as much as possible.
He came to the front of the altar of that node and sent a special communication request to the headquarters of the Knights of Time and Space in Grantham's way.
The response came much faster than Chen She expected.
Just a moment later, a space-time rift appeared in front of him, and an illusory black figure walked out of the space-time rift. It gradually solidified and turned into a rather oppressive human figure.
The mask on his head and the patterns on his body were a faint red, and he was obviously the most powerful figure in the Knights of Time and Space, the Red Priest.
Chen She, like Grantham, half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said in a humble tone: "Master Red Priest."
"I failed to do my job well. In the process of obtaining space-time particles, some people were lost. Please punish me."
"But all the space-time particles you need have been collected."
The red priest still looked like a creature from space and time. His tall body had no extra movements or expressions. He just said in a dull voice, "Hand it over."
Chen She couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, this red priest is really inhuman, Grantham risked his life to get so many space-time particles, but you didn't even say a word of condolence, nor did you ask in detail about the specific process, but directly reached out and asked for the space-time particles. Isn't it a bit too inhumane?
Of course, he certainly didn't dare say these words, otherwise if the red priest really ran to Dawn City, it would be a big problem.
But Chen She certainly couldn't transmit all the space-time particles so easily, so he decided to take risks and say a few more words to test the waters.
"Master Red Priest, I dare to make a request to you."
The red priest seemed a little unhappy and said, "The matter of the black priest will take some time. You did not handle the matter well this time and it is difficult to convince the public. I will think of another way."
Chen She hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant."
"I want to share your worries and make these space-time particles work better."
The red priest's voice paused for a moment, "To play a better role?"
Chen She continued, "Most of the Knights' space-time particles are ultimately used to accomplish Lord Epsilon's goal and realize a new era of harmonious coexistence between humans and space-time life. Currently, the Knights mainly use these space-time particles to carry out space-time activities and develop the Knights' personnel."
"So the fundamental goal of these space-time particles is to strengthen the Space-Time Knights. Is your understanding correct?"
The red priest asked, "So?"
Hearing this, Chen She knew that he had guessed correctly, and he hurriedly continued, "In the past, I was only responsible for collecting space-time particles, and was not involved in the task of expanding the Knights' Order. Now I want to share more of your worries, and I hope you can also give me the task of expanding the Space-Time Knights' Order."
After saying this, Chen She felt a little nervous, not knowing how this mysterious red-robed priest would respond.
So far, his guess was correct. The Space Knights headquarters asked the various branches to try every possible way to collect space-time particles. In the final analysis, it was to launch attacks on some large cities and key targets. The ultimate goal was to complete Epsilon's anti-human plan.
And strengthening the power of the Knights of Time and Space is the only way forward.
In other words, this final step was originally arranged by the headquarters of the Spacetime Knights, but now Chen She has volunteered, hoping that the headquarters will give him this task.
If this task is assigned, then these space-time particles will naturally not need to be handed in. It is equivalent to becoming Chen She's own activity funds.
But Chen She didn’t know what kind of instructions the red-robed priest would give him?
The red priest was silent for a moment, which made Chen She feel even more uneasy. After all, the people in the Spacetime Knights were a bunch of lunatics. Although Chen She had dealt with Epsilon a lot, he was not sure if he could accurately understand the intentions of these lunatics.
Finally, the red priest spoke: "Within three months, train 10 knights or priests with energy fluctuations above level 4; train 50 followers with energy fluctuations above level 2; create a space-time beast tide with energy fluctuations of level 6 targeting the city of Dawn; obtain 2,500 units of space-time particles."
"If you can do this, I will allow you to keep these 2,000 units of space-time particles."
After hearing what the red-robed priest said, Chen She exclaimed, "Wow!"
This is a business that makes a lot of money with no investment.
Originally, I only had 2,000 units of space-time particles. Three months later, not only did I have to turn these 2,000 units of space-time particles into 2,500, but I also had to train so many younger brothers and create a space-time beast tide with a level 6 energy fluctuation?
This is simply asking for too much.
But Chen She had no other choice. After thinking quickly, he said, "I will complete the task at all costs."
The red priest nodded, turned and left without saying anything else.
Only after he was sure that the red-robed priest's energy fluctuations had completely disappeared did Chen She feel relieved.
He sighed silently, "My goodness, the operation of the Space-Time Knights is just like that of capitalists. Even capitalists don't exploit people like this!"
Although Chen She does not have a very clear plan now, he originally hoped to use Grantham's identity to develop the distribution of the Space-Time Knights.
Although this goal is a bit outrageous, Chen She has some connection with Epsilon after all, so it is possible to achieve it with some effort.
If this goal can be achieved while developing the Spacetime Knights, then it will be a natural progression to gain more resources and trust from the Spacetime Knights headquarters.
Fortunately, the matter of the Spacetime Knights has come to an end for the time being. Three months is neither long nor short, and Chen She still has time to make long-term plans.
