Chapter 3316: Bloody New City (76)

Schiller didn't have time to study this problem carefully before he was blocked at the office door by Blood. This demon gentleman was finally anxious.

Schiller is now very interested in seeing him, because his slightly anxious look seems to have written a few big characters on his face: "I am a fat sheep, come and slaughter me."

In addition, Schiller also really needs to figure out what kind of role he plays in this series of historical events. To say it has nothing to do with him is impossible, but his weird attitude of swaying left and right now doesn't look like the kind of mastermind behind the scenes planning a big conspiracy, always showing a bit of powerlessness.

Schiller invited him to sit on the sofa by the window. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Cat Getan seems to be the same scene, but something is different. The chaos in the Lower District and the Upper District is gradually spreading, and something is accumulating in the land below, just waiting for the final outbreak.

"We must talk." Blood said, "I know you are not a person who likes to waste time, so I will just say it. You shouldn't participate in the fight between the Vare family and the Wei En family, this makes no sense other than making the situation worse."

"I am not here to listen to your conclusion." Schiller looked at him and said, "Tell me everything you know, and then I will decide what I want to do."

Blood didn't seem to have any other way, so he had to say: "I have been staying here and guiding the growth of the descendants of the Vare family to prevent a terrible prophecy."

"Tell me about it."

"You should have investigated the matter back then clearly. The priest Bakar of the Order of Order saved Edmund Wei En, who was about to be imprisoned, and they came to the New World together and defeated General Arkham. Edmund Wei En followed his promise and ruled Cat Getan Village with Bakar."

"But you might not know about the later things. In short, Edmund let Bakar spread the faith of the Order of Order in Cat Getan Village. But later he discovered that these cultists didn't just want faith, they came to the New World from thousands of miles away, completely for an ancient prophecy."

"About 4 billion years ago, that is, when the earth was just born, an ancient god came to the newborn earth. The high temperature and fire here made him feel comfortable, and he regarded this place as his new home."

"But as the earth gradually evolved, it began to cool down and gradually appeared life, until humans appeared. The structure of the earth was no longer suitable for the survival of gods, so he left, but left behind a group of believers."

"The god worshipped by this group of believers exists in the form of a huge fireball that is incomparably hot, just like the sun hanging high in the sky. But they believe that their god is greater than the sun, and one day they will return to the earth and turn them into eternal existence in the fire."

"After humans left primitive society, this group of believers went to all parts of the world to spread the faith of fire, forming many religions related to fire, and the Order of Order is one of them."

"The Vare family is the founder of the Order of Order, and also the existence that knows the most secrets. Legend has it that they faced the gods directly in ancient times and reached a deal with the gods."

"Deal? What deal?"

"They obtained the bloodline of fire, and similarly, they must welcome their master back at the right time."

"What method to use?"

"Make the earth hot again."

Schiller raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect such an answer. He looked at Blood and said: "You mean, their god came to earth when it was still a big fireball, felt that the living environment here was good, and was reluctant to leave when he left, so he left a contact method for the aborigines who appeared later, ready to come often when he is free?"

"To put it popularly, that's it." Blood nodded.

"I have a few questions." Schiller said, "First, since it came to earth so much earlier than humans, why didn't it try to change the environment here?"

"Because the earth is special." Blood answered, "I can't explain the specific reason to you, but the earth plays an important position in the universe and is not something anyone can move. To use your words, he is just a tenant and has no permission to renovate the house."

"Then how can his believers do it?"

"Because his believers are humans. Humans are also special, they can transform the earth in the way they want. In a sense, they are landlords."

Schiller nodded, and then asked: "What will happen if that god comes back? Will the earth be destroyed?"

"No, but it will become the way it is suitable for him to live, that is, the hot high-temperature sphere 4 billion years ago."

"That is to say, the earth will not be destroyed, but humans will perish."

"That's right. And as far as I know, his believers have been working hard for this. They firmly believe that this is the end of humanity."

"Very creative." Schiller said, "But humans haven't been destroyed yet, which shows that their plan didn't succeed."

"Not entirely, they need to wait for a timing." Blood continued to explain, "They need to wait for the stars to rotate to the designated position before they can summon their master and throw themselves into the embrace of eternal fire."

"What does this have to do with the Vare family?"

"The Vare family has the bloodline of fire. When the stars return to their positions and they chant the spell, the fire of the old days will descend."

"When will the stars return to their positions?"

"I don't know, they seem to have their own set of identification standards." Blood said, "Completely different from ours."

"Then what role do you play in it?"

"I won't hide it from you anymore." Blood said, "I am indeed a demon, but I am also a person who keeps my word. The contract signed must be completed."

"Who did you sign the contract with?"

"Edmund Wei En." Blood sighed slightly and said, "He offered his soul to the devil to ensure that this land would always be under the rule of the Wei En family."

This clue is too important. Schiller immediately thought of the deal between Edmund Wei En and the East India Company. So his real trading object was not the East India Company, but the demon Etrigan?

"What is your relationship with the East India Company?"

Blood shook his head and said: "I didn't participate in the deal between them. My deal with Edmund was later, when Cat Getan City had already been built, and he was leading workers to build a dam."

The clues in Schiller's brain gradually connected.

He knew that the current Batman is not a descendant of Edmund Wei En at all. In the comic plot, Batman and the Angel of Death are both descendants of the Vare family.

Then, this demon Blood is already considered to have violated the deal, because although it is still the Wei En family ruling Cat Getan in name, the bloodline has actually been replaced.

So Blood doesn't know about this?

Schiller immediately understood that Bakar erased his existence, let his descendants inherit the Wei En family and vigorously touted the Wei En family, just to hide it from the devil's eyes.

When reading the comics, Schiller found it strange. Edmund defeated the fallen and corrupted General Arkham, Bakar defeated the fallen and corrupted Edmund, and then let his descendants inherit the Wei En family and live in the name of the Wei En family.

Then the question is, what about the true descendants of the Wei En family?

Edmund was not young. Even if he had been displaced in the first half of his life, he really didn't have the opportunity to start a family. But from the time he took down Cat Getan Valley to his death, there was still plenty of time for him to get married and have children, right?

If Bakar really wanted the Wei En family to be well, he could just be a minister of orphans and raise the young bloodline of the Wei En family, right?

How did it end up that the person named Wei En was still Bakar's descendant?

This proves that Bakar letting his descendants live in the name of the Wei En family was definitely not because he was moved by Edmund Wei En's righteous act and inherited this surname to commemorate him, but had other plans.

After Blood said his deal with Edmund, Schiller understood that Bakar did this to deceive the devil.

As long as the family ruling this city was still named Wei En, Blood would not be considered to have violated the content of the deal, and he would not investigate carefully.

Bakar should have deliberately left two bloodlines, one to replace the descendants of the Wei En family, and the other to remain in the name of the Vare family, which was also to confuse Blood.

After all, people who didn't leave bloodlines in that era were in the minority. As long as there was such a bloodline, Blood wouldn't think that the current Wei En family was actually a descendant of the Vare family.

Blood raising Paul all the way was actually to monitor him, preventing him from knowing the truth one day and going to overthrow the rule of the Wei En family, leading to him violating the content of the contract.

It has to be said that Bakar and the Order of Order played this trick of replacing the civet cat for the prince brilliantly, and even the devil was deceived by them.

Then Schiller reacted again, their fundamental purpose of playing such a trick was still to realize the prophecy.

The devil can get benefits from the deal with humans, they absolutely don't want humans to perish, so Blood will definitely stop the prophecy.

Then the key person in the prophecy—the descendant of the Vare family with the bloodline of fire, was inevitably targeted by him. Blood also did exactly that, hovering around Paul, determining that he had no plan to realize any prophecy.

But the Order of Order was obviously one step higher. There was more than one descendant of the Vare family. The real killer move was hidden by them in the most dangerous and safest place—the Wei En family.

While Blood was staring at Paul, the Order of Order could use Batman to realize the prophecy.

This can explain why Aodeyin Company, the puppet of the Order of Order, always appeared where Blood appeared. They were also staring at Blood, ensuring that this demon was really fooled and would not jump out halfway to interfere with their plan.

At the same time, it can also explain why the upper society must target Batman, constantly killing the people close to him, making him a lonely person, because they need him to become a madman, so that they can manipulate him to realize the prophecy.

Recalling Alfred's true cause of death, Schiller understood that the Order of Order, which had been staring at Blood, found that Blood had contacted Alfred and gave him a diary. They were worried that Alfred would learn Batman's life experience, so they used Aodeyin Company's instruments to kill him.

As for Jason, it was probably because he discovered the truth that Batman was manipulated by the upper society, and Batman trusted him very much at that time. In order not to let him affect Batman, they wanted to borrow the Joker's hand to get rid of him.

And what puzzled Schiller was Jason's survival. From the series of means of the Order of Order, it can be seen that they are shrewd and cautious, and the layout spanning hundreds of years has almost no mistakes, but they missed Jason alone.

Why didn't the Joker kill Jason, and who sent him to Blüdhaven? Is this just a coincidence, or is someone resisting the Order of Order in the dark?
