Volume 11: The Crown Prince Chapter 86 Blood Sacrifice Ceremony
Tong Qi raised his head and looked into the distance. Even though it was thousands of miles away, he could feel a familiar yet unfamiliar source of energy at this moment.
Because this energy source is too far away, the reaction is extremely small, even not as good as the energy reaction of the magic crystal inside the train next to it.
It is like a very dim star in the dazzling galaxy.
However, when it appeared, Tong Qi still instinctively focused his attention on that star.
"The fluctuation of this energy source is - divine fear." Tong Qi put his hand on his belt, his expression becoming slightly serious.
During this period, his perception ability seemed to be further enhanced.
In his eyes, there were no secrets about energy sources, big or small.
Especially when the transformation resonance belt comes back again, the belt itself has the function of sensing amplitude energy.
Combining the two, Tong Qi even had a feeling that no extraordinary energy source in the world could escape his meticulous perception.
Although it is just perception, after gaining the perception, one can carefully observe the changes in this energy source, thereby strengthening one's control over energy.
Tong Qi felt that it might not be long before he could achieve quadruple energy resonance.
The train is still fast.
After a quick run, Tong Qi and A Jing finally arrived at the royal city on the second day.
At this time, there was still no black fog in the royal city. Obviously, after the first batch of defoggers disappeared inexplicably, the second batch was immediately transported in.
Thanks to this, they could directly see most of the scenes in the city when looking from a high place in the distance.
In the city, a huge stone statue is being built. A huge piece of raw stone is pushed to the designated location and erected. A large number of sculptors are busy on it with various tools. The facial features are awe-inspiring.
Next to this stone statue stands a monument.
This monument was erected when the kingdom was founded and represents the first king.
However, at that time, Lilina's real name and face were not well known, and even few people knew that she was a woman.
It was not until now that Shenwei was searching for Lilina that people knew what Lilina looked like.
So when people proposed to build a statue for Lilina that year, they chose "inscription".
At this moment, A Jing looked at the stone statue of Shenwei that was about to be completed with reverence. It was an absolute worship of strength.
Tong Qi just took a glance and then moved his eyes away from the stone carving to look at the prosperous scene in the royal city.
Because the black fog has been dispelled, the royal city has regained its former prosperity, and many people from other places are now flocking to the royal city.
It looks a bit more prosperous than before, with crowds of people everywhere.
Tong Qi pressed his belt, and the transformation was completed in an instant, and energy sensing began.
"Those three pieces over there should be the current defoggers." Tong Qi looked towards a place where he could sense many sources of magical energy. He had even seen some of the magical fluctuations there before. They should be the predecessors of the Kingdom Guard.
"And besides that, the power of the Void Crystal..." Tong Qi closed his eyes to sense it.
However, he discovered that void energy was floating around, and other than the defogger, the void crystal could only vaguely sense its presence.
"Very clever!" At this time, Lu Bai said, "They used the principle of the defogger to hide the stolen Void Crystals under the energy fluctuations of the defogger."
"Unless you turn off the defogger, you can only lock onto an approximate range if you want to sense the Void Crystal, and you can't determine its exact location."
Lu Bai looked at everything in front of him with a smile in his eyes.
Tong Qi cancelled his transformation and frowned because of A Jing over there. He did not talk directly to Lu Bai, but started thinking.
If that were all, then Lu Bai would not be able to speak.
Tong Qi and Lu Bai don't communicate much, but he knows that Lu Bai usually only expresses his own opinions on important matters.
In other words, the current situation is definitely not as simple as the rebels stealing the Void Crystal.
But it is true when you think about it. The original Void Crystal was guarded by a large number of experts, but it was still lost. This incident explains many problems.
"Don't look." But at this moment, A Jing pushed Tong Qi away and walked towards the royal city. The people who greeted them had already arrived.
Soon, they were welcomed into a secret room in the royal city.
There are various files here about the events before and after the loss of the defogger.
Many investigators of this matter now gathered in front of them and described various situations.
However, Tong Qi could clearly feel that these people were not very enthusiastic about him. All their conversations were directed towards A Jing, and they were flattering the other party in their words.
Tong Qi didn't care much about it. The fact that he was not very popular with the king had somehow spread everywhere.
I read some information, but found that after much investigation, I did not get any useful information.
"Where is the guard team leader who guards the defogger being held now?" Tong Qi asked.
Although they were not very enthusiastic about Tong Qi, the investigators here did not ignore him and immediately gave an answer.
The head of the guards was a member of the ninth-level guard. Although he neglected his duties and made a serious mistake, it was impossible to imprison him for that.
He could only be allowed to stay in some villa to calm down and recuperate, which in fact meant depriving him of his real job and leaving him with only a nominal one.
A Jing did not interrupt Tong Qi at this time, and he actually wanted to see this ninth- level senior.
Each of these individuals has crossed that threshold and mastered extraordinary abilities that surpass ordinary people.
Each of them is an idol worshipped by people all over the country.
Although we are in trouble now, it is only a temporary low point.
The group soon arrived at the villa, which covered a large area and had beautiful scenery.
Especially since this is the royal city, if Tong Qi had been a soldier in the past, even if his service time exceeded the establishment of the kingdom, he probably would not have been able to come here for a look.
Tong Qi did not marvel at the wonder of life, but felt that the class gap was too huge.
"If one day I am in power, I must..." Tong Qi expressed his thoughts.
But I found that no one responded when I knocked on the door.
"No!" Tong Qi reacted immediately, and kicked the door in the horrified eyes of others, and in the process, he had completed his transformation.
The magic crystal protective shield above flashed by and was kicked through.
Then a foul smell came out from the villa.
A Jing also immediately realized the problem, put his hands on his waist, and immediately turned around and ran inside.
Tong Qi also followed him in.
Looking around, one could see that the entire ground of the villa was covered with a large number of symbols painted with blood.
Circle, triangle, twisted symbols.
It was like a scene of a large-scale cult sacrifice.
Seeing this scene, someone immediately called the police.
After hearing this, the people from the Kingdom Guard here also quickly rushed over here.
The sacrificial ceremony that took place in the royal city was a major event, especially since a level nine guard was involved.
After Tong Qi searched for a while, he couldn't find any more information.
"Judging from the dried blood, the sacrificial ceremony must have been going on for at least three days." In other words, the sacrifice had already begun before they set out from Hezhi's research institute in another place.
"Everyone is missing, and only a large number of symbols are left in the villa." Then A Jing walked over and said with a serious expression.
"It seems that the loss of the crystal fragments in the defogger was not caused by an outsider."
"It is very likely that the employee embezzled the property."
When this result came out, everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
A ninth-level guard can be said to have reached the highest position in the kingdom, second only to the emperor.
Only a few people can be above his status.
However, it is such a person who would do such a horrific thing, basically cutting off all his "escape routes".
"Because he is one of our own, we did not send anyone to guard him. Only some of his own servants followed him."
"Almost no one has come out since they moved in."
"People thought he had failed in his duty and was in a bad mood, so they didn't take it too seriously."
This incident was really too unexpected. Given the other party's status and position, I couldn't figure out why he would do this.
“But because of this, he revealed some flaws.” After being shocked, Tong Qi spoke.
His eyes turned towards the villa, which was filled with evil symbols.
At this time, the power of these symbols has almost disappeared, but Tong Qi can still sense it.
After taking a deep breath, Tong Qi stretched out his hand and pinched it, extracting the energy from these symbols through the energy resonance ability of the belt.
Then a blood-red gem was formed.
Holding this gem, Tong Qi used it as a medium to sense the location of the energy source from a distance.
The other party stole the Void Crystal and used the energy fluctuations of the defogger to cover up the Void Crystal.
However, the power of this cult's sacrifice is now not strong enough to cover it up.
As long as you want to find it, you can find it quickly.
"Let's go!" Tong Qi gave the order directly, and then took the lead and rushed to the area where the energy source was located.
At this time, A Jing also put aside his opinion of Tong Qi and planned to find the ninth-level guard first.
This matter is of great importance.
Running together, Tong Qi, A Jing, and many members of the guard team soon arrived near a park.
There were still a lot of people here, and when they saw this, someone immediately went to evacuate them.
But it was still too late.
I saw a flash of blood blooming, instantly covering a large area.
All the people in this area were pulled into a strange and alien space.
