When several people fell into despair, there were dense footsteps in the corridor of the prison. It was the family members of the victims. They followed Su Yu's suggestion and insisted on coming to visit the prison regardless of the late night. First, they wanted to observe the interrogation process, and second, they wanted to vent their anger in front of the murderer. As the noisy crowd approached, the figure in the void disappeared. The old woman lying on the ground was vomiting violently and looked in agony. "Forgive me, Lord Poseidon. Many of those sisters believed in me and voluntarily sacrificed their souls and bodies. Therefore, you can no longer harm their relatives and descendants..." In the darkness, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Chapter 145 Reading on a snowy night Far away at the Solstice Mission's station, a bonfire burned brightly at night, illuminating the faces of everyone around the fire. The members of the mission sat next to each other, holding hands with those next to them, and began to pray silently. At some point, this became a common rule for everyone on this trip. No matter how important the task was at hand, when the bonfire was lit, they must complete the blessing ceremony with everyone.
The members of the mission prayed to the Ice Queen, the supreme ruler of the Solstice Kingdom, hoping that she would bless His Royal Highness the Prince with a long life. Except for the Hidden Mirror Lady and a few executives, almost no one in the mission knew that His Royal Highness, whom they admired and admired so much, had actually already reached a level comparable to the Ice Queen. Even through this trip, Su Yu is compatible with the other six elemental powers, and his strength will be further improved. It is only a matter of time before he surpasses the Ice Queen. On the tallest building in the middle, the upstairs windows were open. The guards patrolling back and forth felt awe in their hearts whenever they saw the tall figure standing behind the window. That is the person they respect the most, respect and respect are engraved in their blood, and they have no reason not to be proud of with the other six countries, in addition to the queen, the Solstice Kingdom also has an unparalleled prince. He not only brought internal changes to the Solstice Kingdom, but also brought dignity to the Solstice Kingdom. The word dignity sounds relatively abstract, but among the countries we visited this time, whenever the missions left, the local people would always shed tears; just today, the people of Liyue knelt in front of the Say thanks at the door. All this made them truly feel what dignity is. Gaining recognition from people in other countries is more difficult than conquering a country by force, but His Highness the Prince did it. Su Yu stared at the bonfire downstairs and didn't speak for a long time. The Lady Hidden Mirror held her cloak in her arms, not daring to interrupt his thoughts without permission, and stood silently behind him. Standing behind the prince, she always felt a strange sense of safety and security, just like when she was in danger when she was a child, she would always hide behind her father, convinced that her father could protect her from wind and rain and resolve all dangers. . Colleagues outside the building were sitting around the bonfire praying. His Royal Highness stood upstairs looking at everything. The firelight danced in his eyes, as deep as an ancient well. The scene before me was sacred and peaceful. If you could hire a painter to paint this scene, it would definitely be a famous painting in the Solstice Kingdom. It's just a pity that with the temper of His Royal Highness, he probably won't allow himself to do this. She still remembers that in the first year when the prince came, the Winter Solstice Kingdom encountered the ultra-low temperature that only happened once in a century. Even the whale oil in the oil lamps froze, and it was impossible to light the oil lamps in every household at night. The Queen left seclusion early and quietly appeared in the Winter Palace. The queen went out of seclusion several times, claiming to take time to deal with court affairs. In fact, only her attendants knew that she only left seclusion to talk to the prince. The group of civil and military officials kneeling outside, and even the eleven executive officers who were waiting to be summoned, together could not compare to the prince's status in the queen's heart.
She happened to be on duty that day, and she took advantage of the cool moonlight to make a routine inspection of the Winter Palace has been without sunlight all year round and is bitingly cold. Without the warmth of the oil lamp, it seems even more quiet and cold. As soon as she turned around, she saw the great being on the throne. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. After kneeling down, she stood up to inform others. The Queen usually stays in seclusion for several months before coming out. Therefore, every time she appears, it is a huge event for both the people of the Winter Solstice Kingdom and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. The Queen stopped her and signaled her not to alarm outsiders. Then he disguised himself again and asked her to lead the way to the prince's residence. Although she was a maid, she was also the Queen's personal attendant and had a very high status in the Winter Palace. She led the way and passed several security checks closely guarded by guards, and successfully met the prince. Halfway through, the Queen asked her to guess what Her Royal Highness was doing at this time. She replied that His Royal Highness likes to read very much on weekdays, but the temperature today is too low to light the oil lamp. On a dark and snowy night, he should go to bed early to rest. The Queen told her that the two of them basically had the same idea. When she got there, she realized that she had guessed wrong, and it was so wrong. In a courtyard covered by several buildings, the prince was wrapped in a large cloak and sitting alone in the snow. There was a pot of charcoal placed next to him. The wind and snow blew across the sky, and from time to time there was a tongue of fire. You could feel the warmth from a distance. His Royal Highness, who couldn't let go of the book, actually used the reflection of the snow to read! The prince reads a book on a snowy night, with a pot of charcoal fire and a pot of warm wine to warm his body. It is an extremely warm and inspiring picture. The queen immediately summoned the palace's oil painting master to record this beautiful moment. The next day, the Queen showed the painting to the Prince to appreciate it, saying that it would be hung on the east wall of the Winter Palace to encourage civil and military officials to develop the good habit of reading and studying, and to use it as a propaganda poster for future generations. respect. The queen originally thought that the prince would be very happy, but unexpectedly, after the prince read it, he just said lightly: I am just a passerby in this period of time. It is the contemporary people of Teyvat who are truly worthy of admiration by future will experience a catastrophe, an unprecedented turmoil, and will pay great sacrifices and costs to fight for the slim chance of breaking their fate. Finally, the prince said meaningfully: If the queen wants to establish a hero, there is no image more suitable for her to be a hero than all living people of the Winter Kingdom and the people of the other six countries are so ordinary, yet so great. They carry the memory of history and inherit the fire of civilization. They are the real heroes. After hearing this, the queen put away the scroll. Then he gently held the prince's hand, patted the back of his hand and said: After the war between gods and demons, many of my fellow demon gods asked me before they died. They did not understand why I vowed to protect the people of Winter Kingdom to the 's because they don't understand that humans are the source of power for power of the gods protects the human race, and humans in turn feed the gods. The gods and humans are interdependent. My prince, from now on, I will give you full power to reform the Solstice love the people of this land and the sentient beings of Teyvat. You deserve this trust. …… The lady with a hidden mirror's memories of the past were suddenly interrupted by the sound of rough waves on the sea in the distance. Under the bright moonlight, the calm Liyue Harbor suddenly stirred up a stormy sea. The blessing ceremony in the yard was interrupted, and everyone looked curiously at the sparkling sea in the distance. The endless deep sea seems to be dormant with a ferocious beast that may burst out of the water at any time. The hidden mirror lady put on a robe for Su Yu: "Your Highness, the power of the water element is extremely boiling. It seems that the Demon God of the Sea is about to explode in the sky prison. As you expected, after the old woman was imprisoned in the sky prison, The power of the Demon God of the Sea has been awakened. However, so many people have died in Tianlao, and my subordinates are really worried about them."
Chapter 146 Su Yu suggested that the victims' families go to Tianlao, but in fact he had other intentions. Anyone imprisoned in the sky prison will experience severe torture, as well as all kinds of humiliation and torture. The old woman was outraged by the public and was the subject of "care" by the jailers. Therefore, Su Yu expected that the old woman would rise up to resist. She has the support of the evil god behind her. Once she goes berserk and gets out of control, she will cause massive casualties in Liyue City. After some consideration, Su Yu came up with a clever plan to let the victims' families go to the heavenly prison. Why is it a brilliant idea? The old woman and the detective general, the brother and sister, spent hundreds of years bewitching and kidnapping women from Liyue to sacrifice. They were loyal minions of the Demon God of the Sea. These two people not only have hard work, but also their master, Poseidon would not stand idly by and watch the believers being captured alive and thrown into the heavenly prison to suffer. With Su Yu's current strength and realm, once the Demon God of the Sea releases some aura, his consciousness will be able to detect the exact location last night in the auction hall of Wanwenjishe, he used his divine power to torture the old woman for questioning. During the whole process, the Demon God of the Sea did not come to save her, nor did he show any trace of his power. As a result, Su Yu had a judgment in his heart: The consciousness of the Demon God of the Sea may be hidden in the old woman's body. This is not a simple seizure of the body, which will cause the death of the host's consciousness, but a symbiotic relationship—— This is a power that only the devil has. During the war between gods and demons, many demon gods gave up their bodies and placed their souls and consciousness in ordinary human bodies in order to avoid their enemies. Even though this will limit the power of the demon, the advantage is that it can perfectly cover and hide its own aura with the help of the human host's body. Su Yu had read relevant records in an ancient book in Zhidong, and he had an accurate grasp of the methods of the Demon God of the Sea. And Su Yu also learned from that book that because they share the same body, the demon's consciousness can affect the behavior of the host, and the host's own will can also suppress the demon's consciousness. According to the old woman's confession, she believed that the girls sacrificed were the redeemed people, and what she did was to help them escape from the suffering of the world. It was obvious that her mind had been twisted by the Demon God of the Sea residing in her body. In essence, she still had basic human conscience. She was always sorry for the relatives of the victims and would never harm them. The Demon God of the Sea is not afraid of the families of his victims. All humans are ants in his eyes, but the old woman has completely opposite ideas and will stop him from killing innocent people indiscriminately. Su Yu suggested that the families of the victims go to Tianlao, taking advantage of the old woman's mentality. Su Yu estimated that the Demon God of the Sea couldn't figure it out anyway. As the host, the old woman obviously needed his power to resist the jailer, and it was the host himself who stopped him from breaking out at the last moment. At this moment, the turbulent waves in Liyue Harbor soon became calm. The Hidden Mirror Lady knew one fact very clearly in her mind. What happened in the Tianlao was revealed by His Highness the Prince. As expected, the secret agent quickly came to report and reported in detail what happened in the prison. The old woman was communicating with the evil god in prison, but for some reason she was forcibly interrupted by the family members of the victim who arrived, and she suffered severe backlash. The secret agent thought that this piece of information would attract the prince's attention, but he was surprised to find that the prince's expression was not surprising, as if this result had been expected by him. He is the only secret agent in Tianlao. There is absolutely no way that anyone can report the situation there earlier than him, so there is only one possibility left: His Highness the Prince has predicted the future in advance! This kind of speculation would be ridiculous if applied to anyone. Even gods cannot accurately predict the future, let alone humans who are not gods.
But if this person is His Royal Highness, then it seems reasonable. The prince is a man who can create miracles, knowing everything and being omnipotent. The Hidden Mirror Lady asked the secret agent to step back and said respectfully: "Your Highness is wise. A crisis was successfully avoided in the Tianlao, and many people's lives were saved. There is still something unclear about my subordinates. Since you have deduced in advance that the Demon God of the Sea is hidden in In the old woman’s body, why not reveal this secret on the spot and annihilate the consciousness of the Demon God of the Sea?” What could be the deeper meaning in His Highness's use of other methods to deal with matters that could be solved directly by force? Su Yu looked at the sea in the distance and told her an astonishing truth: "The Demon God of the Sea has been hiding under Morax's nose for so long, and the old woman may not be the only container of his consciousness. Even if this demon is eliminated, A ray of consciousness, and there are many consciousnesses scattered and hidden among the crowd.” The Lady Hidden Mirror was horrified, and she had a better understanding of the methods of the Demon God of the Sea. The devil can disperse his consciousness and inhabit the bodies of many ordinary people, which is simply impossible to guard against. "Theoretically, everyone we meet when we walk on the streets may have a ray of consciousness of the Demon God of the Sea hidden in his body. If I act rashly, I will definitely alert the snake, and it will only make him more vigilant." "Understood, Your Highness." There was another reason that Su Yu did not explain. Although it is the unique authority of a demon god to give up his physical body and place his spiritual consciousness on a human being to survive, most demon gods will lose their strength after using this ability. The Demon God of the Sea dispersed his consciousness but was never discovered by Zhongli, which undoubtedly proves that his strength not only has not declined, but may have also increased over hundreds of years by enjoying the souls of the sacrificed girls. This kind of great demon is the best among the demons, and his strength cannot be underestimated. It is very likely to be comparable to the Dragon King Ruotuo at his peak. Even Zhongli was helpless against Ruotuo Dragon King at his peak. Although Su Yu was confident of winning against the Demon God of the Sea, after all, he was in Liyue City. Once a war broke out, innocent people could easily be hurt, so it was not a good idea to take action by force. "Your Highness, is there a way to identify those people who are hosted by the consciousness of the Demon God of the Sea? I have an idea to find these people and imprison them together. In this way, the Demon God of the Sea will no longer be able to continue committing crimes. .” Su Yu replied: "Of course there are methods, but the efficiency is too low. There are tens of millions of people in Liyue Port, and it will take several years to screen them all one by one." The Lady Hidden Mirror sighed: "Oh, I can never catch him." "That's not necessarily true." Su Yu smiled indifferently, "The Demon God of the Sea suddenly ordered the old woman to act this time, and required two women to sacrifice at a time. His timing was very subtle, and it happened to be during Morax's retreat." The Hidden Mirror Lady's spirit was lifted: "Your Highness, you once said that the Emperor of the Rock King was in a very bad state, and even sent Mr. [Puppet] Sandone to monitor him. The Demon God of the Sea should also have noticed the abnormality of the Emperor, so he dared to He came out to cause trouble during this period. In other words, will he commit crimes again? " Su Yu said in a slightly playful tone: "When Morax became weak, the enemies who were hiding began to get ready to move. The sudden increase in the number of demons at night, and the sea demon Olias who killed the girl, these may be This is just the beginning of the dark corner of Liyue. As Morax's situation gets worse, the Sea Demon will definitely make a big move. Wait patiently." Ps: I wish you all a healthy Qingming Festival! Chapter 147 "Your Highness, there are cranes singing in the distance. Could it be a visit from an immortal?" The Lady Hidden Mirror has amazing ears, and she was the first to hear the sound coming from the distant sky. The crane is an auspicious animal in Liyue, and one of the "three-eyed and five-appearance immortals" includes the crane clan. "Hmph, these immortals from Liyue finally took the initiative to visit the prince. You taught them the art of true immortal assistance, and they should learn to be grateful."
The Lady with the Hidden Mirror accompanied Su Yu to Grandma Ping's Luofu Cave. Her impression of those immortals was that they were old-fashioned, old-fashioned and unreasonable. He is also a descendant of the gods. The eight-level palace minister of Inazuma Narukami Taisha Shrine is more understanding of the world than the immortals of Liyue. It is no wonder that not only "Yuhengxing" Keqing and the immortals have been rumored to be at odds many times, but also Liyue. According to public opinion, the common people also criticized the immortal's indifference. "The Immortal will not come to visit me so late. You go to the door to pick me up. By the way, bring over a set of Go." "Follow your highness."
