"Immorality", this is the key that supporters of the Psionic Sect have found.Who doesn't want immortality?
Whether it is a supporter of technology or a supporter of psionics, the more powerful the aristocracy is, the more they hope to live longer, and the more they climb to the top of the pyramid, the more they hope that their efforts can be rewarded more and continue to enjoy the privileges and benefits they have worked so hard for.psionics; The Silencer.Aristocrat; Civilian.Merchant; Soldier.Conservatives; Radicals.The list could go on for a long time, because health and life are the common weaknesses of all people, and no one can resist them - maybe there is, but after all, they can resist a very, very small group of people, which also means that "immortality" represents the interests of the majority.As long as the code of immortality can be truly found, then the dispute between the psionic faction and the technology faction may be able to find a perfect fit.As a result, the Umani Church, which is closely related to the fate of the empire, has borne the brunt, from Yaphgomon to Hano, who have completely abandoned the distinction between the righteous and external gods, and will do whatever it takes to find a way to live forever, even if the price is to "sacrifice" the spirit animal, they will firmly grasp the life-saving straw.Because as long as they can truly find a way to live forever, not only the nobles, but also all the upper classes and elites can win the support of the upper class, the elite, and even the silent people who have become nouveau riche will have a hard time resisting the temptation of "eternal life", and then the psionics will be able to take full control of the situation.But—Yafgomon, or Hano......
Now Hordon still can't find more information for the time being, maybe there is more connection between them, maybe Hano's doppelganger who escaped into the darkness has become Yaphgomon, maybe Yaphgomon is the one behind luring Hano's escape into the darkness.Perhaps, Yafer Gomon and Hano hide the true secret of "immortality".Maybe it's true, maybe it's fake, but whether it's true or not, even if it's just a cover to fool the public, in the predicament of the gradual decline of the psionic faction, this is definitely a trick!
For the Umani Church, there should be internal disagreements, after all, the path from the righteous god to the outer god is not only a moral test, but also a question of faith; But in the face of the menacing arrival of the Technocracy and the huge pressure of the aristocracy, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the church to resist.In this way, both supporters and opponents should have their own power, but Holden still lacks enough clues to judge who will have the upper hand.And tonight's bald head, he belongs to the opponents, but he is not as "one-size-fits-all" as Hoden said, he needs to face the strong impact of psionic supporters, and is even considered a traitor who defected to the tech faction, which is the reason why the bald head did not alarm that group.Things have developed to this point, and it seems that all the clues can be connected.The Southern Orson Company, the Antu Auction House, the Count Gustav, etc., all represented the upper class, who would do whatever it took to stand for their interests; The Church plays the role of threading the needle, easily connecting the different forces and keeping them secret.But what about Mr.
Harford's dinner?
It can be understood for the time being as a test field for "immortality", maybe for experiments, maybe for sacrifice, maybe there are other reasons for discovery, but there are still many doubts about Mr.
Harford's dinner party, starting with Samuel, to the disappearance of the homeless, and the extinction of Victor and Albert, there are always some things that cannot be completely smooth.Also, if "immortality" is really what everyone wants, then why didn't the aristocracy make it public?"
Outer gods", or evil gods, this is obviously one of the reasons, after all, evil gods represent darkness and fear, and this history has been erased from the official annals of the Raia Empire, but what else?
Since there are already nobles who are willing to ignore the attributes of evil gods for the sake of immortality, and take risks by unscrupulous means for their own interests, then once they succeed, they will be able to convince more supporters.But looking at it now, things are still in a state of secrecy, and little minions like Nightingale, Victor and Alber who don't know the core secrets have also been eliminated, and it is obvious that the sensitivity of the matter is still above the imagination; At the same time, there is opposition within the Umani Church, and the opposition is not absolutely weak.Why?
Is there anything other than the evil gods that will stop such a trend from spreading across the board?
Success?
Mortality?
Or something else?
Like Mr.
Harford's dinner, Hodden felt that the tip of the iceberg had been revealed, but a key piece of the puzzle was missing; And, Howlen's instinct was that the missing pieces of the puzzle might be the same piece, and that finding the puzzle would reveal the whole picture—at least the disappearances of Hodden and Samuel.And behind this "truth", it is very likely that there is a larger and more magnificent conspiracy, and the struggle between the "Psionic faction VS the technology faction" should be far more than this, and even ......
Are Karg and Gulan also involved, and do the people who are really playing chess behind them have higher goals?
Of course, all of the above is a "hypothesis", and Hoden's associations based on his existing clues may all be his own whims, as if written; Maybe it's all his own wishful thinking, forcibly linking unrelated clues, trying to find a way home.Maybe it is, maybe it doesn't......
In front of Hoden was still a foggy pile of puzzles, and the bald vague words didn't really point to any facts, and he couldn't even be sure if he was heading in the right direction, or if he had already strayed from the path of the truth.At the same time, Hoden cannot rule out the possibility of the bald head lying and fooling, because he has always been on the periphery of the matter, and has not been able to enter the inside of the incident, and he can only piece together a "hypothesis" through clues, but there is no way to confirm this "hypothesis", because the closer you get to the truth, the more dangerous it may be—perhaps, Hoden needs to go to Mr.
Harford's dinner in person to see the truth; But at what cost?
And what is the price of truth?"
The water here is deeper than you think."
Remembering the words of the bald head just now, and savoring it, the bald head seemed to be worth it, but Hoden realized that curiosity had always prevailed over fear, and he had always been like this since he sensed that the church might hide the truth, as if facing an intricate math problem, and now he was finally able to find the context of disintegration, and the excitement was indescribable.It seems like a long, long time to describe, but in fact it is only a moment in Horden's mind, the chaotic puzzle finds a vague connection in the maze of minds, and looks up in the direction where the bald head left: he, can't leave yet.()
