From Prisoner to Si Chen

For a while.

The three Ikarugas who were reading the document were all shocked and speechless.

Even Gilan was stunned.

'The gear plan is actually a god-making plan...'

His mind was racing.

Regardless of previous movie viewings or real-life experiences. All kinds of clues come together like a puzzle at this moment, forming an incomplete but outline picture of the truth.

‘If this “secret history” is based on the “Munich Empire” in the film as an allusion to the real “Bremen Empire”, then...'

‘The “Gear Project” is to create Si Chen? ! ’

‘Did the Empire succeed in the end? ’

Gillan was shocked.

He actually already thought of the answer.

It's just that this answer is too shocking.

Success...

The Bremen Empire was mostly successful.

Because, January Sichen’s ‘torrent’!

The God of Machinery and Enlightenment, He is the final result of this "Gear Project".

With the unyielding will of mankind, a supreme Sichen was born from the hands of mankind!

The true identity of "Torrent" is most likely Barbara Engel!

The genius sister of the red-haired female student Lilia!

Even if it's not her, it's still closely related to her!

Gillan was shocked by the truth of this "secret history".

He simply could not imagine how the head of state and the empire did it.

Because according to the truth in mysticism, if a person wants to ascend to godhood, he can only climb to the top level through the "Road of the Fire Sword"...

"Unexpectedly, the series of films "Human Will" turned out to be the 'secret history' of the ascension of January Sichen's 'torrent'."

Ikaruga gasped on the spot.

He suddenly realized that it was definitely not a good thing for several people to learn about this "secret history"!

"The contents of this document about the "Gear Project" must not be easily recorded and disseminated in reality..."

Ikaruga said solemnly to the other two companions.

"After watching the movie, the most we can do is record the conversations of the imperial head of state in the initial meeting and report them to the senior management of the 'Screening Round Table'."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the top of his head behind him.

It seems that these words are also a warning to the headquarters members who are staying behind during the whole process outside the movie.

"Don't worry, we know."

Mr. Parrot and Miss Quail both nodded.

Maiev, a girl in a white dress on the side, was puzzled by the exchange, but she didn’t ask any more questions.

Ji Lan suddenly thought of something and said to her:

"Miss Maiev, is the name of the fourth year old 'Mr. Pearl' Ivan?"

"Ah?" Maiev was startled for a moment, then nodded. "Yes. This is what is recorded in ancient books."

Hearing this, Ikaruga and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

In the minutes of the meeting they just saw on the document, the head of state mentioned "Ivan".

Therefore, this old god "Moon God" has strong malice towards human beings.

"Do you think the 'Crescent Moon Society' followed the will of the Moon God to organize this 'killing game'?"

Ji Lan took a deep breath and expressed his opinion in a deep voice.

"Could the real purpose behind the 'Tailing Ceremony' be to destroy the 'Gear Plan', that is, the ascension of January Sichen's 'Torrent'?"

"?!"

The three turtledoves were shocked.

What Mr. Blood Owl said is not unreasonable.

No, that's most likely it!

The Empire, on the human side, wanted to create a new god that would be beneficial to itself.

As the old god, Moon God wanted to prevent the birth of Si Chen, who was obviously biased towards humans...

This is the game between the empire and the old gods!

After thinking about this, Ikaruga added:

"If this is the case, then the meaning of the 'God's Chosen Tower' is deeper... The apostle 'Mason', and even the June Sichen 'Mrs. Ya' whom he serves, are probably on the side of the Moon God. "

"Hmm." Jilan thought with eyes wide open. "It's no wonder these 'secret histories' are not easily accessible to anyone... It's a desperate fact."

He suddenly thought of the words of thanks left by the "director" after the film.

'Is William Gerrard the winner of this game? ’

Ji Lan frowned.

‘The leader of the “Healing Knights” lived three hundred years later and played an extremely important role in this matter? What did he do? ’

Even the Windmill Cat has lived for so long, there’s no reason why Captain William can’t...

And through February Sichen's "director" calling him his "best friend", it's hard not to speculate whether Captain William ascended to become an apostle, or whether it was Sichen.

'So, is there any push from William Gerrard behind the rise of January Sichen's "torrent"...'

Ji Lan secretly thought.

Several people discussed seriously for a while.

At this time, Ikaruga suddenly glanced at his watch and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Jilan noticed something strange about him and asked aloud.

"The 'release effect' occurred, and other moviegoers entered the film we were in."

Ikaruga said solemnly.

"Huh?" Ji Lan was a little surprised. "How did you know?"

"This is a rule discovered by the 'Record Society' headquarters."

Ikaruga explained.

"Whenever the 'release effect' appears, it will be accompanied by a sign, that is, the clock in the film will go back two seconds."

"So, every time before we watch a movie, we will wear a stopped watch... As long as the second hand goes back two steps, it means that the 'release effect' has appeared."

"I see."

Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

He felt that the "Recording Club" headquarters had conducted very in-depth research on real film, and a team like the Ikaruga trio gave people a very professional and sophisticated feel.

"Let's get out of here first."

Ikaruga suggested.

"Since the goal of watching this movie has been achieved, we can end the operation at any time... But we can also try to settle near the 'God's Choice Tower' to see which force has entered the movie."

"Okay." Gillan did not refuse.

That night.

There are five people in total, including Gillan, Team Ikaruga and Maiev, a girl in a white dress. They are hiding in the living room on the second floor of an abandoned grocery store near the "God's Choice Tower".

The curtains in the room were tightly closed, and only a few candles were lit.

In the dim light of the fire, a group of people gathered around the window. Gillan opened a crack in the curtains and peered out onto the street.

In the distance, seven or eight men and women dressed in ragged robes were seen kneeling in front of the steps of the "God's Choice Tower", bathed in the scarlet moonlight.

Under the light of the blood moon, their exposed skin actually emitted green smoke and appeared strange burn marks.

However, this group of people was indifferent to this, and still maintained a solemn expression, and kept kowtowing towards the gate of the "God's Choice Tower" while muttering something in their mouths.

"They are people from the 'Ascetic Sect'..."

Ikaruga recognized their identities and whispered.

Ji Lan frowned slightly.

Another organization he didn't understand.

"This is a secret society that believes in June Sichen's 'Mrs. Ya'. The members inside are all ascetics with abnormal brains. They believe that everything in the world will rot, and only through hard work and hardship can they realize their own destiny. eternal."

Ikaruga seemed to know a lot about this secret society and turned to explain to Jilan.

"There are seven major precepts within the 'Ascetic Sect', namely, abstain from arrogance, abstain from jealousy, abstain from rage, abstain from laziness, abstain from greed, abstain from lust, and abstain from gluttony."

"Ms. Crow once commented on the behavioral logic of this secret society. It means that their 'penance' is actually through constantly restraining their desires in the 'material world', that is, in the mortal world, to temper their gnosis and abide by their rationality. Effect."

"The essence is to suppress the 'id', strengthen the 'super-ego', and bring human nature closer to divinity. In disguise, the threshold of the 'body' of the body is raised in all aspects."

Listening to Ikaruga's words, Ji Lan couldn't help but think of some passages in "Si Chen Zhi".

It is said that Si Chen and the apostles, as gods and angels, have long abandoned their humanity and have no sorrow or joy.

‘So the seven precepts of the “Ascetic Sect” are actually an imitation of God? ’

Gillan thought.

‘The seven deadly sins that suppress human nature reach a state similar to divinity… But is this the right path? ’
