Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 198 Another History (Monthly Ticket Plus 7)

The literature reading room is a large area divided into three floors. The aisles are lined with towering bookshelves filled with densely packed tomes.

Looking at this dizzying scene, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

The Scarlet Church even has an online shopping service in its church store, so why doesn't it have an intelligent query system in its reading room?

This dazzling scene was like hell for someone like her who was not sensitive to words!
"There seems to be a catalog here." Kyogoku Makoto walked to the central pedestal of the bookshelf and flipped through it casually. "It roughly classifies and numbers the information content of different areas, so it is relatively easy to find."

".Okay." Suzuki Sonoko was deflated and accepted this primitive method of finding information.

The location of the general volume of sealed objects inside the Tingen Pandora Gate was in the same area as the Quaternary History Classification. The two of them quickly arrived here. It took about fifteen minutes for Suzuki Sonoko to find the general volume that she had been longing for from a pile of serious history.

"Let me see, there are only four Level 1 Sealed Artifacts."

She followed the directory and found the page where the Level 1 Sealed Object was located.

It begins with a description of the definition of a Level 1 Sealed Object.

The so-called Level 1 Sealed Objects are extremely dangerous magical items. They may not have very strong power, but they are almost all composed of extraordinary characteristics above the middle sequence, and they pose a great threat to social order.

According to incomplete statistics, among all the Level 1 Sealed Objects currently in storage, the least harmful ones can have an impact on a small town with more than residents, while the extreme ones can even directly shake a large city like Tingen.

And inside Pandora's Gate, there are four such seals.

"."Suzuki Sonoko could no longer say "only four pieces".

For a magical item of city level, it is simply outrageous.
廷根潘多拉门收录在册的四件1级封印物分别为1-027，1-033，1-175，1-244。

The descriptions of the other three are somewhat abstract and not very detailed. Only 1-175, the stolen Level 1 sealed object, has a relatively detailed record.

[1-027]

[Creeping Hunger]

[Different extraordinary abilities were demonstrated in several attempts, but the price was that each time it was used, a full human-sized amount of flesh and blood had to be sacrificed.]

[The Beyonder properties cannot be determined yet, but it is at least Sequence 5.]

【Possessing the characteristics of being ‘alive’. 】

When Suzuki Sonoko saw the effect of this seal, her eyes lit up at first, but she soon noticed the side effect of requiring the sacrifice of flesh and blood, and she got goose bumps.

She looked at the next one.

[1-033]

[Mirror of Arrodes]

[You can ask any question every natural day, and the questioner will get an answer from 1-033. The answers to questions involving high sequences will be distorted and inaccurate, but the specific extent of this error and the specific mystical strength that can affect 1-033 are not yet determined.]

[After asking 1-033 a question, the questioner will also receive a question from 1-033. This kind of question will often cause the questioner to be extremely humiliated. The questioner can choose not to answer, but the price is a lightning strike that is enough to shock an ordinary person.]

【Possessing the characteristics of being ‘alive’. 】

Looks interesting!
Suzuki Sonoko remembered a party game that is popular in the real world called "Truth or Dare".

[1-244]

[No Dark Cross]

[1-244 is very targeted at evil and corrupt creatures, and can quickly purify them. Even demigod-level evil spirits cannot last half a minute in front of it, and will "lose" their evil nature and transform into glorious creatures.]

[1-244 has a strong property of rejecting Beyonder characteristics. Any seal below level 1 that comes into contact with it will produce a violent separation effect, releasing its original Beyonder characteristics. 1-244 cannot be held by Beyonders above Sequence 9. The sequence of the person who forcibly holds it will be gradually reduced. If it exceeds three hours, non-demigods will inevitably regress to ordinary people. If it exceeds six hours, even Sequence 4 demigods will lose their Beyonder abilities. However, for Sequence 3 Saints, the effect is minimal. From this, it can be judged that the Beyonder characteristics it combines do not exceed Sequence 3.]

"hiss"

She took a breath.
Isn’t this the real nemesis of Beyonders?

With this thing, even ordinary people can deal with extraordinary people below the level of demigod.

Is this kind of thing still just a level 1 sealed item?
Suzuki Sonoko noticed that there was a higher level of the sealed object, level 0, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

How devastating would those Level 0 sealed objects be?
If someone could get them, they could even bring them from the metaverse to reality.
She didn't dare to think anymore and emptied her mind to look at the sealed object with the most detailed record.

[1-175] [Holy Emblem of the Sun]

[The spoils of war gained from the encirclement and suppression of the followers of the evil god. The owner is of the evil god path sequence 5. After actual combat, it is determined that 1-175 is at least a sequence 6 Beyonder characteristic, and there is a high probability that it is a sequence 5. ]

[In the encirclement and suppression war, 1-175 showed amazing group targeting, possessing a wide range of faith auras. Those below Sequence 7 would be forced to forget their past beliefs within the range and fanatically convert to the evil god. The mid-sequence Beyonders would actively reveal the urge to extract the Beyonder characteristics of their original path.]

[In subsequent visits and investigations, it can be seen that the radius of this range is approximately between 2km and 2.5km, and the closer to the center of the circle, the stronger the bewitching effect.]

[The effect of this aura of faith is continuous. Even after 1-175 was contained, the people who changed their faith did not wake up from the bewitching. During the finishing work handled by the major churches, they were proud of their faith and extremely rejected the guidance of the official Beyonders. They even mistakenly recognized the evil gods as the righteous gods and blasphemed the three righteous gods.]

[Most ordinary people returned to the right path under the guidance of the Orthodox Church, but some stubborn people disappeared afterwards, and their whereabouts could not even be found through divination and prophecy. It is very likely that the evil organization secretly provided them with shelter. The loss of these people is heartbreaking.]

[In addition, 1-175 can burst out with a maximum temperature of 5000 degrees Celsius under the user's urging, and emit a strong light comparable to that of a small sun, causing two levels of damage to the enemy. The price is that the user will not distinguish between friend and foe, and will directly bear the high temperature. ]

Suzuki Sonoko swallowed and felt a chill down her spine.

This kind of seal can directly change people's minds and make them have fanatical beliefs.
1-175 itself is not what scares Suzuki Sonoko the most.

What scares her most is
What is the attitude of the Scarlet Church that makes it store this terrifying magical item as a Level 1 Sealed Object?
Since there is such a thing as 1-244 without the Dark Cross, why don't they just use it to separate the characteristics of 1-175 and destroy it?

A deep fear welled up in her heart.

"What's wrong?" Kyogoku Makoto, who was flipping through the history of the Quaternary Period, noticed her bad complexion and asked with concern.

".It's okay." Suzuki Sonoko forced a curl of her lips and hid this horrifying thought deep in her heart.

They are now tied to the Scarlet Church's ship. If they do not choose the path of characteristic transformation, these unnecessary thoughts will only affect their status in the church.

Ah Zhen has a simple mind, and she doesn't want him to be troubled by these messy things.

And it might not be as bad as she thought. Maybe the church had other reasons?

For example, although this seal seems terrible to her, it is actually a very small matter for a high-sequence strong man.

She still couldn't fool herself.

The majority of people in the world are not High-Sequence Beyonders, but ordinary people.

If a church does not even care about the safety and freedom of ordinary people, what position does it have to be a "true church"?

"Ms. Suzuki, look at this. I found some interesting things. Maybe they will be useful." Kyogoku Makoto didn't notice her worry and held the book "Quaternary Classical Studies" that he was reading.

"What is it?" Suzuki Sonoko put all her thoughts aside and moved closer.

"Look." Kyogoku Makoto stepped aside and pointed to a paragraph. "It says here that in the Fourth Epoch, gods often walked on earth, and that the true gods that existed at the same time were not limited to the three great gods of today."

"Just the things that can be written in this book include the 'God of Death' and the 'Witch' who I don't know if it refers to the Scarlet Church."

"Then why are there no other gods now?" Suzuki Sonoko covered her mouth halfway through her words.

There was deep horror in her eyes.

She already knew the answer to this question without having to answer it.

Apart from the only three existing gods, there is naturally only——

Evil god.

Without needing Kyogoku Makoto to share, she started searching on the bookshelf herself, and then found a book called "Change of Dynasties" about the end of the Quaternary Period, tracing back the history of two thousand years ago.

"At the end of the Fourth Epoch, the gods began to retreat from the world and no longer appeared on the ground where people lived. Prayers to most gods were no longer answered. The great Scarlet Witch, as one of the few gods still walking on the earth, created a new dimension with compassion and mercy for those who had fallen into madness and lost control due to the 'loss of gods'."

"There, they no longer have to endure the whispers and murmurs from the top of the path. They can find endless peace and no longer have to worry about losing control and going crazy. There will no longer be any extraordinary or faith, because their gods have long stopped watching them."

"That dimension far away from the human world is called the 'Forsaken Land of God'."

"And those gods and people who were abandoned were recorded in history as"

"'Remnant of the Old Ones'."
