Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 101 Hughes and Hughes and Hughes
Hughes has done a lot of tests here today, mainly due to Monica's stimulation.

Machines can be injected with souls, so maybe his bodies can also be stuffed with souls. If he doesn't study it in advance, he may suffer losses in this regard in the future.

Therefore, he made a list in advance, wrote down all the test methods he could think of, and then returned to the Golden Throne to test them one by one.

For example, he is now ready to try the mind link.

He had just tried the symbiotic contract and concluded that it could not be brought up. This was easy to test because all the banshees had signed a symbiotic contract with him, so in theory he was the center of the contract. If he was not there, the vitality could not circulate in the banshee.

Therefore, he had no hope for a mind link.

"Ash?"

"Nini?"

"Monica?"

"Anyone is fine, just reply when you hear it."

After waiting for a while and receiving no reply, Xiu Si nodded.

"It seems that the mind link is also unusable. Next, let's try the priest's body."

He had studied the priest's body for some time, but no matter what means he used, he could not successfully descend upon it.

Zeus turned to look at the white-robed priest, who remained motionless, staring at the table like a puppet.

"It still doesn't work, what could be the reason?"

Zeus tapped the table lightly. He now knew a lot more about the extraordinary world and had his own guesses about it.

"This priest's body has a holy emblem on it. I've never seen this pattern before. It probably doesn't belong to the Orthodox Church."

The holy emblem was pinned on the collar of the white robe, and the pattern on it was a burning torch - the trademark that Hughes designed for Caster was based on this holy emblem. Although the patterns were not exactly the same, some connection could be seen. Perhaps in the future, relevant organizations would contact him because of this.

As for trouble? What kind of trouble could there be? No matter how powerful this church is, it can't be stronger than the Orthodox Church. In his territory, there are two Orthodox Churches, the Candlelight Society and the Silent Temple. He is not afraid of cultists coming to his door.

Oh, Chloe doesn't seem to be a Candlelight Cult member either. But Beatrice is, right? She can't be a cultist in disguise.

Moreover, he printed out this pattern openly, with the intention of testing the surrounding organizations. Now it seems that at least there was no reaction when he showed it to Chloe. Perhaps this organization has disappeared long ago, and only the white-robed priest is left.

"Church. Priest." Hughes rubbed his chin. "Could he be a transcendent? Can't a transcendent's body descend directly?"

It now seems that each major church has its own extraordinary powers, and they are not the same. Candlelight has [Investigators], the Silent Temple has [Burieders], and the directions of the extraordinary powers they control are also different.

Hughes himself had little interest in supernatural powers, or rather, he had little interest in possessing such powers.

The Banshees' spells were indeed useful, but he wasn't planning on learning them himself.

He is already exhausted from dealing with territory affairs and teaching advanced classes every day. How can he have the time to study anything extraordinary?
He has no need to go to the battlefield, and he doesn't have to be a superhuman to explore the unknown.

Now it seems that I can try to contact him. There may be some secrets hidden in the body of this white-robed priest.

Well, if it's convenient
Becoming a superhuman is a very low priority for him. After all, it is just a guess. He will talk about it when there is a chance in the future.

Then Zeus looked at the other body.

The middle-aged man and the old man, the bodies he descended into when he first crossed over, both died unexpectedly due to various reasons.

After his death, he would return directly to the Golden Throne. If it weren't for the worker Zeus, he really wouldn't have thought of descending into the body of the deceased. Now might as well give it a try.

Looking at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man slowly raised his head and showed a simple smile.

Xius's eyes went dark, and he felt himself falling rapidly.
A few minutes later, Hughes returned to the throne.

He descended several times, and the middle-aged man and the old man looked the same after they descended. There was darkness before their eyes, and their bodies were unable to move.

Hughes suspected that the two bodies had been buried in the ground.

"Okay, now everything has been tested."

"First of all, I have extraordinary abilities. The extraordinary abilities brought by the symbiotic contract cannot be used by other bodies, and I have no way to use them here."

"I don't know if it will be the same if I actively advance to the Extraordinary level, but I suspect it may be different."

"Secondly, whether the body is dead or not does not affect my control. Only the moment of death will it be forced to return."

this point is very important.

Lord Zeus's current identity is extremely important to him, which makes him feel a little restrained. After all, this body is just a mortal, and it will get tired, sick, and die.

But the death of the body does not mean that he cannot control it. This is the case with the worker Zeus. The big hole in his chest is still there, and he can still control it.

It seems that he may only appear to be alive, and in fact death does not have much impact on him. Even his body will not rot and will remain the same.

This way you can do a lot.

"But try not to take any risks. Lord Xiusi's identity is too important. It would be bad if he died and was discovered."

"And there's the White Priest. Even if the worker Zeus's body has been transformed into a god and can hear the believers' prayers, it won't affect my arrival. But the White Priest cannot. This body must be hiding a great secret. I'll pay more attention to the clues of this holy emblem in the future."

"Okay, that's about it. Now let's go check on Monica first."

Monica summoned a lot of souls and couldn't send them back, and Zeus didn't have time to go and see them.

He came to the Golden Throne as soon as possible, taking care of his body and soul first, and then taking care of other things.

If the soul cannot be sent back, the most that can happen is that there will be a lot more boilers that will burn fuel. If something happens to his soul, who knows what troubles will arise.

Throne Zeus closed the mental link, turned to look at Lord Zeus, and was ready to descend.

Then his movements suddenly stopped.

He just called out through the mind link, but no one responded.

This is nothing, but
"How can I open the mind link?"

Mind link is an ability that comes with the symbiotic contract. Just because no one responded to Zeus's call doesn't mean he can't use it.

This function is somewhat similar to making a phone call. The reason why his call did not go through is that no one answered the other end. It has nothing to do with the symbiotic contract. The symbiotic contract is to ensure whether he has the phone in his hand.

"That's impossible. The power of the symbiotic contract can't be brought up here."

"Could it be that this Throne Xius has also signed a symbiotic contract with someone?"
