Volume 7 Coral Chapter 665: Fear as Anchor
'The original sin of the old "Sacred Azure Flame"... was called "Blissful Feast".'
Chen Lun closed his eyes tightly.
He raised his head, and the force field quietly dissipated.
The heavy rain poured down on my body, washing away the blood and tears on my face.
The source of the sin of the Azure Holy Flame was the last stream of information the incarnation obtained on the "Ark", but other than that, there was no more information.
"The Old One is indeed too powerful. Even with my current strength, I almost lost control just by observing him from a distance... I lost 100 million of the 500 million Sanity I gained from the players."
Chen Lun slowly opened his eyes.
There was a deep fear and solemnity in his eyes.
He looked down at his palms again.
'And there is a huge problem... Although I came to the reality through the Advent Ceremony and can take action here, the Sun Continent is too far away from here, and the anchor point of "Cang Wang" cannot support my continuous activities across regions.'
For those in high positions, faith and anchor are both essential.
Faith represents rationality, and determines that those in high positions will not be polluted and lose control when they take action. Chen Lun does not have to worry about this at all.
He still has 400 million in rational reserves.
But the anchor point means "existence". Without it, the person in a high position cannot continue to move, otherwise he will lose himself in the power.
To use a more vivid analogy, if the person in a high position is a train, reason is the coal, and the anchor point is the track... If there is reason but no anchor point, then even the fastest train will eventually lose itself in the vast "desert of power".
He may still have his sanity, but he has forgotten who he is.
The best result is to become an "agent" of sequence or authority.
If Chen Lun lost all his anchors, then he would no longer be Chen Lun, but an angel of destiny who holds the power of "secrets"... He could be called "Anonymous" or "King Cang", but definitely not "Chen Lun".
Of course this is just an assumption.
As long as his love for Floy remains strong, his obsession will make him remember him forever... at most his freedom to act will be restricted.
In the Sun Continent, it is almost impossible to see high-ranking people losing control due to the loss of anchor points .
After all, anchor points are generally composed of "influence". Those in high positions on the Sun Continent have basically caused huge influence directly or indirectly, otherwise they will not be able to meet the requirements of the promotion ceremony.
But Chen Lun’s current situation is extremely special.
He crossed an unknown distance and landed on the Azure Star, but without the anchor point here, he was unable to continue moving.
In order to solve this problem, Chen Lun quickly came up with an idea.
A crude but very effective idea.
"Everyone, I need you to do me a favor."
He turned around and spoke softly to Dongyang, Chenxi and others.
"Mr. Jack, please go ahead."
Dongyang and others quickly lowered their heads and said respectfully.
Chen Lun spoke calmly.
The ten people present were stunned where they were, their faces filled with disbelief.
What shocked Dongyang and his friends even more happened next -
bite!
[You have triggered the S-level side quest: Fear as Anchor! ]
Mission Description: "The King of Blue Clothes" Jackspeight has come to your hometown, the Azure Star, and He needs enough influence as an anchor.
He has entrusted you, along with your companions, to spread fear for Him.
(Note: Rejection can have serious consequences, choose carefully!)
Mission objective: Make enough federal residents feel fear for the "King of Cang Yi". (No less than 100 million people/rewards can be accumulated)
Mission rewards: 200,000 experience points, 10 attribute points and 5 regional reputation points.
Mission panel?!
Spreading fear?!
Dongyang and others were stunned. Their brain's CPU couldn't handle the calculation and burned out on the spot.
What the hell is going on?!
Why do the panels in the game appear in reality? ! !
'Um?'
Chen Lun noticed something strange about Dongyang and others.
Although he knew that his commission was indeed horrifying, he would not let them look as if they had seen a ghost.
Chen Lun quietly used the "Thought Steal" skill and instantly obtained the answers he wanted from Dongyang and the others' minds...
'They can actually receive panel prompts in reality!'
Chen Lun was also surprised.
His thoughts raced, and with his inhuman brainpower, he quickly thought of the biggest possibility -
Could it be...
The last four seasons bookmark?
Maybe the answer has something to do with it.
'Only when I get the "Flower" can I verify this conjecture... But before that, I need a deep enough anchor point to support the movement of this body.'
Chen Lun stood in the rain, thinking silently.
…
…
…
Half an hour later.
Dongyang and others were wearing brightly colored raincoats, walking with their heads down on the busy streets, blending perfectly into the crowd.
A streamlined hover car, full of technology, whizzed past on the lane beside them, leaving streaks of light.
Soon, they stopped in an extremely large square.
Even on rainy days, this place is still bustling with people coming and going.
"We have arrived at the area with the largest flow of people in Splendid City, Xinggu Square."
The centaur's voice sounded in the private channel.
Dongyang looked up and stared at the front of Xinggu Square. A huge screen that spanned the entire square and was hundreds of meters high was hung in front of a business building.
There are two additional screens on both sides, supported by two other tall buildings. Although they are slightly smaller in size, they are still shocking.
At this moment, these three large screens are playing advertisements, promoting some of the latest technological products from major conglomerates.
For example, the "9.1A electronic pill" can greatly improve men's endurance. It is not only effective for the human body, but also covers various chip modules and even various types of "special prostheses"...
It can become stronger and more powerful, turning men into night beasts.
"We come from the future and change the present. You live in the present and create the future."
The popular actress "Su Lihafen" had long silver hair and wore a slim silver dress. She sat on a white chair, holding up a transparent transistor the size of a fingernail in one hand and spoke in an enchanting mechanical voice.
Finally, the Doug Group’s logo was displayed on the screen.
Dongyang retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice in the channel:
"Act according to the plan and get started."
"receive."
The rest of the team members who had already dispersed responded one after another.
Chenxi and Honey Pomelo, wearing lavender and pink hooded raincoats respectively, walked through the rain . After buying two cups of mixed juice at the window of the beverage shop at the edge of the square, they walked straight to the awning beside the central flower bed.
There were many glass round tables and chairs for people to rest and eat. After they sat down, Yuzu tacitly put her bag on the table and took out a small laptop.
Chen Xi took it , drank the drink, connected the data cable behind his ear to the computer, and started typing on the keyboard.
A casual office look.
There were so many people like them in several areas of the square that they were not noticeable at all.
Soon, with a click, Chen Xi's slender index finger tapped on the Enter key. The gradient purple manicure and the colorful keycaps complemented each other, looking quite beautiful.
Sizzle——
The speakers hidden in the decorative sculptures around the square suddenly emitted an uncomfortable electric sound.
The bustling crowd stopped and looked at the big screen with frowns. Even some men and women who were sitting under the big umbrellas to rest turned their heads to look.
"What are you doing?"
“It’s so noisy!”
On the big screen, the advertisement that was originally playing suddenly flashed, and then the screen went black.
Then the scene changed, revealing a figure.
The man looked very young and his appearance was impeccable.
But his outfit was quite retro, with a black top hat, a black suit, and an ivory carved cane in his hand, a style from hundreds of years ago.
On the big screen, a man was standing upright on the rooftop of a building hundreds of meters high, standing on the guardrail , in the heavy rain.
Facing the camera, behind you is the prosperous scene of the entire gorgeous city.
"Good day, fellow citizens of the Federation."
The gentleman in the top hat looked calm.
The deep and magnetic voice resounded and echoed throughout the square through high-tech speakers, even drowning out the sound of the pouring rain.
"I have to tell you a piece of bad news... Because the federal government and the Azure Holy Church refused to submit to me, the entire federation will suffer my divine punishment..."
"Hahaha!"
"Which company made this new advertisement?"
"It should be a creative short film from the Red Financial Group. It's not bad. Although this style of clothing is old-fashioned, it's also quite fresh. It makes me want to try a different outfit!"
The crowd in the square was laughing and pointing at the big screen.
Some men and women under the awning couldn't help but smile, chat and laugh, and comment on the strange man on the screen. They thought the guy was really good-looking, but they didn't know which prosthetic doctor's cosmetic surgery technology and customized module he had.
Bang!
Chenxi's index finger then pressed on the Enter key again.
Dozens of program boxes popped up on the laptop screen, and the code was calculating on its own at a very fast speed, constantly flashing across.
"Sister Chenxi, it looks like Brother Gouzi and the others succeeded."
Honey Grapefruit whispered beside her.
Chenxi nodded.
The plan is going smoothly.
Goutou Jin, Forgotten Wuji, Dragon King and others acted separately and used force to break into the highest-standard signal station in Gorgeous City and inserted her backup chip into the server.
Chen Xi successfully hacked in.
Didi!
At this time, pedestrians in Xinggu Square and even on the surrounding roads all received an unknown text message without exception.
The crowd stopped and opened their personal terminals with curiosity and confusion.
But I was shocked to find that the holographic projection on the text message was exactly the same as the picture on the big screen in the square!
Still the man in the black hat and black suit.
The camera gradually moves forward and the gentleman opens his arms.
Grinning at the camera.
"Please remember, and please hate me as much as you can... I am the King of the Blue Cloth, Jackspeight."
"What the hell?! What's going on?!"
"Which consortium did this?!"
The crowd immediately started talking.
Many men and women frowned, dissatisfied with such junk messages.
boom!!!
Suddenly there was a loud noise.
A giant sculpture in the center of Xinggu Square suddenly exploded.
The violent tremors and flames suddenly made the crowd terrified.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Explosions continued to occur all around.
The walls and glass of high-rise buildings were shattered and splattered, and the landscape trees and high-tech landmark decorations were all destroyed.
The sound was so loud that it shook the earth.
The wailing sirens sounded one after another, extremely harsh.
The woman began to scream and the crowd fled frantically.
There was chaos all around.
The rain got heavier and heavier, and panic began to spread.
However, the crowd originally thought that this was a terrorist attack planned by rebels or cyberpsychopaths, but the following scene quickly overturned their speculation -
With crackling sounds.
Countless pieces of gravel, glass, and even raindrops defied the laws of physics and floated into the sky.
Next came the larger objects, such as tables and chairs, flowers and parasols... until the ground began to crack, and the stone slabs and large sections of walls, and even entire buildings began to float up.
Everyone gave up trying to escape.
Everyone's face was filled with fear, and they looked up in confusion, staring at this doomsday-like scene.
A huge "star" formed by countless tiny objects shrouded the sky above the entire Gorgeous City, blocking out the sky and the sun.
"Has the end of the world spoken of by the Holy Church come?"
