Chapter 451 The Eternal School's Conspiracy
As these players swept all the way, they soon found the location of the Eternal School and sorted out the general outline of the conspiracy behind "Blood of Lies".
Players have already discovered that the main content of the early stage of "Blood of Lies" takes place in Charlton City, and the final ending will return to Charlton City.
But in the middle and late stages of the game, players will go to some new map areas.
This includes the "Abyss Mine".
After investigating the situation in Charlton City, new clues point to this special closed area under Charlton City.
In the original plot setting, the people of Charlton City found this mysterious special crystal in an accidental archaeological discovery, which opened the tragedy of Charlton City.
This special crystal exists in large quantities in the underground ruins of Charlton City.
Of course, the location of this underground ruins does not completely overlap with Charlton City. It has an extremely exaggerated scale. One part is located underground in Charlton City, while the other part is in the wilderness or under the mountains, and some simply exist in the open air in the valley.
In order to obtain more underground crystals, Charlton City has carried out a long and deep excavation of this relic. With the joint efforts of human miners and puppet miners, this mine has formed a rather outrageous scale.
There are not only narrow and narrow mines with many connections, but also a huge pit structure in the center, which is covered with various construction platforms and elevators from top to bottom, and it is bottomless.
Of course, this huge pit is not entirely formed by human excavation. The ruins originally buried underground have a complex structure, which has played a certain role in the mining and excavation of Charlton City.
At this point, it can be roughly inferred that the serious earthquake in Charlton City must be related to this huge mine.
So, after searching the entire Charlton City and the surrounding areas but still not finding any traces of the Eternal School, the protagonist was forced to go deep into the abyss mine under the guidance of the plot.
Due to the damage caused by the earthquake, the passage from Charlton City to the mine has been completely blocked, so players actually need to take a detour, enter the mine from the suburbs of Charlton City, and continue to explore in depth, and finally open up the passage from the mine to Charlton City and return.
During the exploration of the mine, all kinds of the most powerful monsters gathered together.
There are powerful beast miners, crazy mining puppets, guard puppets responsible for ensuring safety, and many indescribable abyss creatures.
There were originally eggs of some unknown creatures in the abyss mine. They were captured and raised by humans in the ancient ruins, but most of them were extinct in the disaster that destroyed the ruins. Only a few eggs were sealed and dormant under special conditions.
With the occurrence of this earthquake, many criss-crossing cracks appeared above the mine. The change in the environment allowed these eggs to begin to hatch and continue to grow and develop under the nourishment of flesh and blood and crystals.
Although they are still young, they are enough to pose a fatal threat to players.
In addition, players will encounter more and more corpses of members of the Eternal School.
They all wore a special birdcage on their heads, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. According to the explanation in the plot, this was originally an important invention of the Starry School, namely the "Thought Synchronizer". This special device can make the wearer's mind vibrate at the same frequency, so that it can better amplify its own mind and receive signals from the universe.
But soon, the Starry School decided to abandon this dangerous invention because it caused some changes within the Starry School.
But as the Eternal School, which did everything it could, this group of extremists was willing to try any possibility, so they used this Thought Synchronizer to connect each other's spirits and receive signals from the universe.
These members of the Eternal School seemed to have just died not too long ago, and their bodies were not completely rotten. It can be basically determined that their collective death occurred at the same time as the disaster in Charlton City.
The deeper the exploration, the more traces of violent mining of crystal mines, and the more corpses of members of the Eternal School.
Although the underground crystal mines can be used as energy, according to the requirements of Charlton City, the mining of crystals obviously has a very strict priority order.
Just like coal resources, some are shallow coal with high purity, good effect, and easy to mine; while others are deep coal mines with more impurities, poor effect, and difficult to mine.
The same is true for crystal ore.
Some crystals are located in the shallow part and can be quickly mined with a simple miner's hoe. These crystals are of high purity and will break with a little external force. They are easily crushed into powder and used as energy for dolls or carriages.
The other part of the crystals is located in the deep part, which is almost integrated with the stone. The impurity content is relatively high and requires very violent means to mine. Moreover, after excavation, complex processes are required to purify it into powder and use it as energy.
Therefore, in the requirements of Charlton City, high-purity crystals in the shallow area should be mined first, and those deep crystals will not be mined for the time being.
On the one hand, for economic benefits, these crystals will be left for mining when the refining technology is more developed; on the other hand, it is also to ensure the stability of the geological structure of the entire mine pit, leaving these crystals that are integrated with the ore to provide a more stable support.
But now, these deep crystal mines are also full of traces of violent mining, especially many huge stone pillars originally used for support purposes have been dug up.
There is no doubt that this must be done by the Eternal School.
They infiltrated and controlled the mine very early and conducted mysterious experiments here.
So where did these violently mined deep crystal ores go? The Eternal School should not want to refine them into energy, because the current technology is not mature, it is difficult to refine, and the cost is also very high.
Moreover, the dead members of the Eternal School clearly showed certain characteristics, and their death positions seemed to be deliberately arranged, as if they were part of some mysterious ritual.
Finally, after going deep into the core area of the mine, seeing more densely packed members of the Eternal School arranged in a specific shape, a vague truth emerged in front of the players.
The disaster in Charlton City was obviously caused by the dangerous experiments of this school.
Although the unclean blood itself will cause disaster and destruction, if it is allowed to develop naturally, this process is still relatively slow.
The civilization in this relic was able to develop to such a scale, indicating that they still existed for a long time even if they were cursed by the unclean blood.
According to this estimate, even if Charlton City continues to develop and utilize the unclean blood, it can at least develop stably for decades.
But it is obvious that due to more advanced technology and more researchers, the arrival of this disaster has been greatly advanced.
Out of fanatical belief, the Eternal School made a terrible plan.
They secretly infiltrated the mine through mental control and conducted terrible experiments here.
Destructively mined deep crystal ore, and did not hesitate to dig up the original reserved pillar structure. They did not intend to refine these ores and use them as conventional energy for puppets, but simply and roughly piled them together to prepare an unprecedented terrible ritual.
Through such a large amount of crystals, all members of the Eternal School connected their consciousness together, and through the flesh and blood structure they created, they briefly combined the "body with strong carrying capacity like the ancient god" with the "powerful spirit like the ancient god".
And this moment attracted the attention of the real ancient god.
The energy of the massive crystals burst out instantly, causing a strong earthquake; the gaze of the ancient gods spread through the flesh and blood structures of the Eternal School and their interconnected consciousness network, not only instantly killing all the members of the Eternal School, but also affecting the entire city of Charlton.
As a result, those humans who were more affected by the unclean blood instantly turned into monsters or zombies, and the puppets also fell into madness due to the crystallization. Only a few people who were less affected by the unclean blood survived.
But even so, they also had large emotional fluctuations and serious mental trauma.
They survived by chance and were forced to hide in the room and dared not leave.
In order to eliminate these effects as much as possible, the player controlled the protagonist to fight a fierce battle with the "created ancient god structure" and finally hunted it down.
But even so, the disaster still did not end.
Those members of the Eternal School did not really die, they seemed to be trapped in a special thought space. So, the player entered an illusory space by touching the corpse of the flesh and blood structure.
Here, the people and creatures of the ancient ruins seem to have all resurrected and returned to their heyday, and the members of the Eternal School are mixed in. The player needs to find and kill all the members of the Eternal School to completely solve this illusion.
After a difficult battle, the player finally got rid of the illusion and got the special "Heart of the Ancient God".
From the description of the prop, this is the broken heart of the ancient god.
It does not come from the real ancient god, but a naturally formed lump in the corpse after the flesh and blood structure plus the thoughts of the members of the Eternal School, which has a part of the power of the ancient god.
So the player opened up the way back to Charlton City from the inside and returned to the cathedral again.
To pass this broken heart of the ancient god, face the ancient god who is staring at Charlton City and fight with it.
Only by defeating this powerful ancient god can Charlton City be freed from eternal despair.
Before really seeing this ancient god, the player needs to finally defeat the powerful lie hunter.
Although it has been fought once before, but this guy ran away.
And this time is the final battle.
Only after defeating the Lie Hunter can you face the final boss.
