Chapter 606

Under the crimson moonlight penetrating the curtains, Ludwig, wearing two-piece pajamas and a small jacket, was like a emotionless timekeeper, telling all the memories and knowledge he had absorbed from the old man in the black robe's semi-charred brain and internal organs:

"Only the brain is his own. He is called Prinpino.

"Because he was old and his body was weak, he began to come into contact with arcane knowledge, unknowingly received the gaze of the 'Great Mother,' mastered a lot of secret knowledge, and became a Beyonder..."

Hearing this, Lu Mian muttered two sentences silently, half-mocking and half-fearful:

Receiving the gaze of the "Great Mother" and didn't get pregnant?

Is the one you follow really the "Great Mother"?

Ludwig continued:

"It's not certain when Prinpino began to lose his internal organs; no relevant knowledge or memories were absorbed.

"Similarly, the time he became a product of human alchemy is unknown.

"His philosophy is:

"Humans were once the children the 'Great Mother' loved and was proudest of. All dullness, all aging, all weakness are because they are far away from the mother and polluted by reality.

"Only by letting the Son of God of the 'Great Mother' descend into the real world can humans be saved, enter the Other Shore World, and return to their original appearance.

"By then, the 'Great Mother' will also return to the real world she dominates."

Using "she," a pronoun with a clearer gender, to refer to the "Great Mother" instead of "He"... This shows that in the eyes of people like Prinpino, pregnancy and giving birth are still things for women, so the mother must be "she"... This is different from the state of the Night-Roaming Society... Lu Mian looked at Ludwig and nodded approvingly.

Ludwig repeated Prinpino's attempts and partial abilities in a tone that was neither fast nor slow and had no ups and downs:

"The birth of the Son of God requires a specific body, a body composed of internal organs of different people...

"This is not the whole of the descent ritual; it's missing a key part...

"Prinpino has a very strong self-healing ability. As a product of human alchemy, he is immune to the influence of many Beyonder abilities.

"He can control humans who have been indirectly polluted by the Son of God, or specific-pathway Beyonders who have directly contacted special patients, within a range of one hundred meters, and it needs to be in an unclear state..."

Hearing this, Lu Mian suddenly associated it with the Sequence 7 "Vampire" of the "Pharmacist" pathway:

Beyonders of this type all have powerful self-healing abilities and can also create "blood servants" that resemble their own puppets!

Lu Mian didn't interrupt Ludwig, patiently waiting for him to continue:

"He is not only good at surgery but can also directly heal others, mastering a ritual that allows a human to survive for a period of time even without internal organs.

"He can combine with trees and wooden products, hide inside them, obtain a hard shell, and escape detection.

"He can catalyze the growth and reproduction of organisms, including but not limited to mice, fleas, bedbugs, fungi, and various plants, but it requires consuming his own vitality. His vitality can be replenished through unsuccessful Son of God descent rituals. Every nine rituals require replacing a batch of internal organs...

"He can also curse others, can summon evil creatures, can burn life to use a small amount of evil arts..."

After Ludwig finished speaking, Lu Mian discovered that Prinpino's Beyonder abilities were quite mixed, having both the partial state of a "Vampire" and reflecting certain characteristics of the "Earth" pathway's "Planter," "Physician," etc., while also mastering a small amount of "Evil Arts," and it was also through burning life to cast spells.

"It seems like a combination of the three pathways of 'Pharmacist,' 'Planter,' and 'Evil Sorcerer,' but not all of them... Can he still be gifted power like this? The 'Great Mother' is indeed the pinnacle of these three pathways..." Lu Mian pondered for a while, took Ludwig's hand, and walked out of the suite.

He said to Lu Jianuo, who was standing at the door:

"Go call the priest in the prayer room here and tell him all the details you know."

After instructing, Lu Mian pondered for a moment and added:

"Find the captain first, then find the priest."

"Alright." Lu Jianuo agreed instinctively first, then asked suspiciously, "And you?"

"I'm naturally going back to sleep. If they want to visit me, they can wait until tomorrow morning." Lu Mian waved his hand and took Ludwig along the dimly lit corridor toward his suite.

I'm the only one responsible? Lu Jianuo couldn't help but mutter.

He suddenly discovered that he was the only one left at the door of the suite where some internal organs were still scattered, shivered violently, and walked quickly toward the captain's room.

…………

Ten minutes later, in the old man in the black robe's suite.

The priest named Montserrat and Captain Pedro looked at the situation at the scene while listening to Lu Jianuo detail his encounter.

Lu Jianuo told these two quite uneasily that he was a Beyonder, a "Physician" of the "Planter" pathway, because he showed excellent ability to see patients, was visited by Enio, and later, in the middle of the night, he suddenly sleepwalked while in a sleeping state, came here, and was almost removed of his internal organs, fortunately being rescued by his employer.

During the whole process, Lu Jianuo just omitted the part where Ludwig drank blood; he told everything else he knew.

Captain Pedro, who had a nice brown beard, muttered half-jokingly:

"Could it be that your employer killed the passenger in this suite, deliberately scattered his internal organs everywhere, and then made up such a story about an evil wizard to trick us?"

Uh... Lu Jianuo was speechless for a moment.

It really couldn't be ruled out that this possibility existed!

Priest Montserrat, who had clean eyebrows and was wearing a brown priest's robe, shook his head:

"Determining the physical state of Enio will know whether this story is true or false."

"I know." Captain Pedro touched his chin beard and looked at Lu Jianuo, "What is your employer's name?"

"Louis Berry." Lu Jianuo answered truthfully.

"Louis Berry..." Pedro's gaze froze, "The great adventurer Louis Berry who hunted the 'Devil Wizard'?"

Montserrat also widened his eyes slightly:

"The great adventurer Louis Berry who cooperated with the church in Sangta Port and secretly prevented evil forces from sabotaging the Sea Prayer Ceremony?"

This... My boss's reputation is so loud now? The Church of Mother Earth told all clergy that Louis Berry is a friendly person and a collaborator? Hmm, this ship started from Sangta Port, the priest on the ship must be the first batch to be notified... Lu Jianuo had thought about it but hadn't expected his employer's name to be so useful.

He answered without hesitation:

"It's him, the great adventurer Louis Berry."

As soon as Lu Jianuo finished speaking, the whole ship was suddenly thrown up, at the top of a giant wave dozens of meters high.

And there were no dark clouds or heavy rain at the moment, nor were there strong winds or lightning.

After jumping a few times between the pitch-black giant waves, this steamship fell lightly back to the sea surface, and everything around it returned to calm.

Captain Pedro glanced at the messy suite and the windows where water was still sliding down, and asked Lu Jianuo in a deep voice:

"Is this your employer's power?

"I heard that someone performed magic with sea waves in the bar tonight. Was that a real sea wave?"

"Yes." Although Lu Jianuo didn't know what was going on himself, he still attributed the scene just now, which was like natural power, to his employer.

He then added:

"He is saying hello to you."

Captain Pedro and Priest Montserrat fell silent immediately.

After more than ten seconds, Pedro asked Priest Montserrat, whose external age was under thirty:

"Does the church have information about this kind of surgery and ritual?"

Montserrat glanced at Lu Jianuo and didn't let him avoid it.

This priest pondered for a moment and said in a low voice:

"There is a group of believers of the mother who have gone astray. They believe that the corruption of the present world and the degeneration of humanity are all the sad consequences of being far away from the mother.

"They attempt to use every means to let the so-called Son of God descend into the real world and summon the return of the mother through the return of the Son of God.

"We call them the 'God Descent School'."

Lu Jianuo asked a question with little conviction:

"Can the Son of God descend just by relying on the internal organs of ordinary people?"

He didn't know the specific surgery and ritual, but he could roughly guess that the key material should be internal organs.

Montserrat gazed at the remaining human organs in the suite and said with a heavy tone:

"The Son of God is the mother's child, and humans are also the mother's children."

Meaning, essentially, there's no high or low, so they can be used as materials, relying on quantity to make up for defects? Lu Jianuo roughly understood the true meaning of the priest's words.

Many rituals involving blood sacrifice can actually be explained by this theory.

Priest Montserrat didn't say anything more and turned to Lu Jianuo:

"Tell your employer that we will handle the subsequent matters; let him not worry."

"Alright." Lu Jianuo breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

The next morning, Lu Mian woke up on time and discovered that he no longer possessed the "power of the sea," so he couldn't obtain the authority of the "Viceroy of the Sea."

He drank a sip of light beer with regret and began to write a letter to Lady Magician, telling her about the problem of the God Descent School and the so-called birth of the Son of God in the Spirit World.

Not long after, the "Doll" messenger brought a reply:

"Encountering the 'God Descent School,' I can't even determine if it's your problem or Lu Jianuo's problem.

"The so-called Son of God has already been born in the Spirit World, but that's just propaganda rhetoric. Understand? Just like the scriptures of the 'Fool' Church, just listen to it; don't take it seriously.

"Of course, similar things do exist, and they are brewing and developing, which actually has a certain relationship with you, because the original source is that empty baby cradle in Cordu Village, the child that Lady Pualis 'lost.'

"In addition, a conclusion can be drawn from feedback from all sides: that 'Lady Night' did not die in that Trier of the Fourth Epoch, and even encountered or obtained something that made the Son of God matter develop further.

"Besides her, Vazan Sanson of the 'Sinner' organization also fled the Trier of the Fourth Epoch. The reason is unknown, and the encounter is unknown..."

Vazan Sanson is still alive? Seeing the middle part of the letter, Lu Mian was stunned at first, then revealed a smile.

Just at this time, his bedroom door was knocked thumping.

"Who?" Lu Mian knew it was Lu Jianuo outside, but still asked casually.

Lu Jianuo answered through the wooden door with a terrified tone:

"Me.

"I heard the baby's cry again!"
