Chapter 37: The secret under the Holy Auditorium

　　Compared to adapting to the improvement of physical quality, it is obviously more difficult to adapt to the improvement of mental attributes.
Leo’s spiritual attribute promoted to 20 o’clock is already regarded as a formal spiritual psionicist in the Earth Federation, but these increased spiritual powers are not obtained by him after years of accumulation, it is likely to be The soul of this body is produced after the complete fusion with himself, so these spiritual powers belong to outsiders. If they cannot be properly controlled, they will even interfere with his original spiritual power.
　　 The most obvious manifestation of the sudden improvement of spiritual power is the gift of spiritual perception.
　　Spiritual awareness This talent is directly linked to mental power and psionic energy. When mental power is still ten o'clock, Leo can easily control the spiritual perception talent.
However, as his mental strength increased to 20 o'clock, the spiritual perception talent began to show signs of being out of control. The most obvious feature is that even if he does not open the spiritual network and activate the spiritual vision, he can easily distinguish the negative surroundings through perception. The energy field can also sense the goodwill and maliciousness of the people around it, and even when some people burst out with strong emotions and thoughts, they can also perceive the fragments of thoughts emanating from them.
　　 A large amount of information poured into Leo's mind uncontrollably. If it were ordinary people, they would have been driven into madness by these messy and negative emotions, thoughts and so on.
Fortunately, Leo has a side-brain system. At the same time he was affected, he started the mode of filtering the side-brain, summarized and analyzed all kinds of information that has been influxed, analyzed the useful parts, and saved the useless parts. It is discarded directly.
　　Although the use of the auxiliary brain system to deal with the shortcomings of the rapid increase in mental power, some speculation and coincidence, but at least gave Leo a buffer time, so that he can have enough time to adapt to the surge of mental power.
　　 "Activate the spiritual network."
　　After a slight adaptation to the spiritual perception talent that increased with mental power, Leo immediately began to try the spiritual network skills just created by the psionic skill module.
　　As he guessed in advance, after forming the psionic skill, the spiritual net no longer needs to open the spiritual vision, it can be activated separately, and the coverage of the activated spiritual net has expanded to about two hundred meters.
　　 He feels that if it is used with perfect control skills, the coverage of the spiritual network should be able to double.
　　 In addition, with the opening of the spiritual net, the surrounding negative energy field began to be pulled under the action of the energy absorption characteristics of the spiritual net and penetrated into the spiritual net.
The negative influence caused by the Lingjue talent just appeared again, but this time it is no longer a variety of ideas and emotions that can be clearly analyzed, but an indescribable negative energy that makes him feel like being in an ice cave. In general, the body and mind become extremely cold.
Feeling anomalous, Leo immediately controlled the spirit net to expel those negative energies in accordance with the application of the spirit net sorted out by the Earth Federation, limiting the ability of the spirit net to absorb the surrounding travel energy, and only keeping the spirit net’s most basic detection ability unchanged Quickly put the surrounding terrain data into the para-brain system to form a three-dimensional topographic map in the eyes.
In order to collect as much terrain data as possible, Leo stood up and began to walk around, especially around the tower-shaped hall of the Holy Auditorium, which puzzled some priests who noticed his strange behavior. , Because there is nothing outrageous, so there is no obstruction.
　　After Leo returned to the starting point, a complete topographic map of the Holy Hall was projected in Leo's eyes.
　　 There is not much special in the hall of the hall on the ground. The building is completely a kind of common religious buildings such as vaults, stone columns and religious sculptures. The only thing that surprised Leo was that there were three places in the Holy Auditorium where his spiritual network could not penetrate. One of them should be the meditation hall to which Catherine went, corresponding to the three high priests of the church.
　　However, for the part on the ground, Leo does not care too much. He just needs to understand the terrain and the data of the defense deployment of the church guard. It is enough. His real concern is the part of the catacombs.
　　As Martin said, there is a huge catacombs underground in the hall of the Holy Auditorium, and only those believers who have been ill will be sent into it to see if they can receive the care of Aknaya before they die.
　　Inspected by the spiritual network, it is indeed as Martin said that the Holy Auditorium is a huge space about five meters down, but he found that the catacombs only occupy a small part of this space.
The downward extension of this underground space has exceeded the coverage of the spiritual network, and analysis of the data such as terrain, ruins, debris, and overall structure that have been collected through exploration has made it more like an underground city, an ancient city The underground city centered on the temple.
Only this part of the underground city was excavated only near the surface. This part is the catacombs. As for the deeper city, the main body of the city has been buried by gravel. Many passages found through the spiritual network lead to deeper underground. It was blocked by a lot of rubble.
　　 It is interesting that the Aknaya Church should be very clear that there is an underground city below, because Leo found that more than one group of people were digging the blocked passage in the deepest part of the catacombs.
What is more interesting is that not far from the excavation team, there is a group of monsters in the closed basement leading to a deep well, and the people of the Aknaya church are throwing a lot of meat in the deep well, obviously the Aknaya church Knowing that these monsters exist, it is even possible that they are the creators of monsters.
　　When the spirit network sensed these monsters, Leo almost thought that he had returned to the federal 21 research base, because the situation of these monsters is very similar to the things in some of his memories.
　　Federal Research Base No. 21 is an institution that is not recorded by the federal government. If Leo did not a batch of important experimental materials that year, I am afraid that it will not know that there is another Research Base No. 21 in the Federation.
　　 The main research project of this research base is to optimize human genes, which is often referred to as heterogeneous genetic modification.
As the Earth Federation entered the interstellar age and began to expand into the interstellar, humans found that their bodies are very unsuitable for survival in the universe. All kinds of harmful rays, countless unknown viruses and other common things in the universe can easily take human lives. .
　　At the same time, the federal government has also found that among those alien races that have been in contact, many ethnic groups have extremely strong survivability and adaptability in the universe. So some people proposed to see if they could integrate the excellent genes of alien populations into human genes and optimize human genes. For this reason, the Federation established this research base No. 21, which does not appear in any documents.
In this research base, there is a warehouse dedicated to containing experimental failed products. Leo entered the warehouse when assisting the base to deal with failed products, and saw hundreds of experimental products that failed due to the fusion of alien genes, and those failed experiments The product looks very much like the monster that Spirit Net saw in that basement.
The reason why 　　 is very similar is not to refer to the appearance of the two, but to the distortion and deformation of the body caused by the collapse of the body's genes after the gene fusion fails. This situation is very similar.
"Do people in this world have mastered the technology of heterogeneous genetic modification?" Leo was very shocked and even more unbelievable about his discovery. After all, even if it is the Earth Federation, the technology of heterogeneous genetic modification has just started, such a technology How can the world that has only developed into the steam age have such top-notch science and technology?
　　Although I was confused, Leo did not bother me with this problem for too long. After all, they would enter the catacombs shortly afterwards. Then, if they look carefully, they might find the answer.
　　After dispelling the three-dimensional topographic map in his eyes, Leo also put his attention on the spiritual network skills.
From the beginning of testing the spiritual network skills, Leo has not withdrawn the spiritual network. It has been more than twenty minutes since the maintenance of the spiritual network, and he found that for such a long time, the spiritual network consumes only the spiritual energy. Only a little psionic.
　　 Such a small amount of consumption and mental network skills before they are formed, can hardly be the same.
　　 According to Leo, the reason is that besides the reason that the formed psionic skills themselves consume much less psionic energy than the unformed skills, the larger reason may be related to the existence of the spiritual network skills in the spiritual awareness talent.
Judging from this situation, Leo’s Spirit Net may be regarded as a half-skill and half-talent. Talent does not consume psionic energy, so when the spirit net is opened, his psionic energy consumption is more than normal spirit net skills. Cut in half, or even more.
"Leo, there seems to be something wrong there?" While Leo was devoted to checking the details of the spirit net skills, preparing to try some of the most common methods of applying the spirit net in the Earth Federation, Jason sitting on the side suddenly stood up. He came to him, shoved him, and said to a place not far away that should be similar to a confession room.
　　 Leo heard that his attention was withdrawn from the spiritual network and personal data interface, and he looked at where Jason pointed.
　　 Perhaps because of the substantial improvement of various physical qualities, his eyesight has also improved a lot, even if he does not turn on spiritual vision, he can easily see the distant scene.
I saw that at the moment there were a large number of church guard priests equipped with sabers and crossbows quickly gathered towards the building pointed out by Jason. The church guard already there seemed to intend to rush into the building, but then there was a burst of gunfire From that building, those who tried to rush in were forced to withdraw.
　　 At this time, an amazing scene happened. The priests around the building suddenly pushed away the priests who were about to attack the building. Each one became a brave warrior and rushed into the building unarmed.
After a rush of gunfire, cheers came from inside the building, and then saw that the Aknayas who did not die in the conflict dragged a dozen people in black robes who were unconscious at the moment and walked away from the building. After coming out, and will be handed over to the Church Guard. Then one by one, as if nothing else, sat back to the previous place, continued their prayers that were interrupted before, and even the wounded did not treat the wound.
After 　　, I saw that the priests of the Church Guard had cleaned out more than 30 bodies from the building and a dozen seriously injured and unable to move. This shows how fierce the fighting in the building was in less than a minute.
"It's a madman, a group of lunatics!" After watching the whole turmoil, Jason looked at the other believers around him who were so indifferent to what happened just now. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Said with palpitations.
　　 Leo knew exactly what Jason was talking about. To be honest, he was shocked by the scene just now, and had a fear that had never been seen before.
In the battle of the Earth Federation, it is not uncommon to launch a charge because of being forced into desperation, and the soldiers are not afraid of death, but such a thing usually has two premises, one premise is that there is no way out, and the other premise is Inject epinephrine.
　　However, the believers had nothing to do with these ordinary church believers just now, and what happened in the building did not require them to intervene. They only had to stay by and watch the church guards solve these disturbance-causing people.
But these people suddenly rushed into the building like a lunatic. They did not need to inject any drugs at all, and they were able to deal with those who caused disturbances without fear of death, and whether it was against the enemy or afterwards. The deaths of the other believers were indifferent, which made Leo, who was used to all kinds of battles and deaths, feel a little chill.
As for the reason that made him fearful, he thought that there might be many more believers who were as fearless as before. ~EbookFREE.me~ His eyes looked around, only in this bright sanctuary with a diameter of five kilometers In this way, there are no fewer than 50,000 followers who can be turned into lunatics at any time, which is not counted as other believers living in those steel frame buildings.
　　According to Martin, in the cage city, there are more than one million members of the Aknaya Church. Among them, how many fanatics are there, I am afraid Martin is not clear. However, even if such a fanatic is only one-tenth, then the Aknaya Church has at least one hundred thousand dead to drive.
"What do they want to do? This is definitely not what the ordinary church does." Leo was keenly aware of the stumbling block in his mind, and he could not help but emerge that these 100,000 fearless cultists were holding various deadly weapons. Scene out of cage city.
　　 At this time, Catherine hurriedly walked out of the hall, and from her gloomy face, she could see that the meeting with the Major Priest of Mage had just gone away.
　　Standing on the steps of the hall, she looked at the place where the turmoil happened just now, her face was a little blank, and she didn't seem to know what happened just now. Afterwards, she looked around again and saw Leo and Jason, who were tall, standing strikingly among a group of sitting black robe believers, and walked quickly.
"The catacombs are closed, even if I am not allowed to enter, we have to think about another... Hey!" Catherine hurried over and said the result of the conversation with the high priest of Major, but the words had not been said. After stopping, he looked around and asked with a puzzled expression: "Why are you the only two, Nielsen?"
　　When Catherine asked, Leo and Jason only realized that Nelson didn't know when it was gone.
