"We have always had the upper hand in war. This advantage is certainly not as obvious as imagined. The reason why dark creatures are powerful is precisely because of their extremely terrible reproductive ability. Although they are backward and barbaric, they have also led to them being more fierce than human warriors in battle and fearless. We have always felt that this is a problem that is difficult to explain with natural phenomena and other scientific theories. I have dissected many dark creatures captured on the battlefield, and new extra organs have been produced inside their bodies, especially their brains, and the mutations are far beyond imagination."

"Mutations?"

This word immediately attracted Su Hao's attention and instinctively aroused his association: "Just happened to Coxson?"

"Not exactly, some are even much worse than Coxson."

When he said this, Nashbar's face showed a deep worry: "For these, dark creatures have exactly the same views as us. They also use words such as ghosts and demons to call those mutants. Dark creatures also hate these mutants, believing that they have betrayed the God of Darkness and simply pursue more powerful forces, but abandoning the rules that the dark world must be adhered to. Our lurkers sent back some image records, showing the dark creatures' handling of infected people. Their methods are more cruel than us, and it is not too much to describe them as "smashing bones and ashes". Zhang Zhongyuan's pharmacist's understanding in this regard is similar to that of the dark world. They also believe that this is a plague, a terrible virus that can affect the mind and turn the infected person into a demon manipulator."

Su Hao felt chill all over. It was not because of his timidity, but because some memories deep in his heart that wanted to be forever were awakened again by Nashbar's words. He vaguely felt that Nashbar must know something, but he could not ask what he wanted. After all, Su Hao also had many secrets, and it was definitely not public or known to outsiders.

"It can be confirmed that there is an extremely cruel and mysterious species in the space field."

Nashbar soon returned to normal and said in a serious tone unique to the clergy: "The source of evidence is the space realm of 0x1. They worship some kind of evil idol. In the words of the dark world, it is worship of evil gods. Of course, this statement cannot be tolerated in the human empire. Our only gods are the emperors. There may be only one, or many evil gods in the space realm. They manipulate everything behind the scenes, and they mean supernatural existence. These evil forces can transcend science and truth, shake our souls, and torture our minds. Don't you want to know the true meaning of those words in Coxson's mouth? It's a kind of witchcraft, a terrible dark magic, and obvious evil."

"You told me that before the battle of the Fortress on the top of the mountain, you heard the whisper-like low sound from the communication channel. It's not surprising that sound is also a way of energy. The ancient tape recorder is the representative of this energy. The space of DS A66 has a huge magnet ore, especially around the Fortress on the top of the mountain, and there are as many as six metal veins of different directions. They jointly affect this area, special locations, specific locations, and cold and variable climate. All of this allows that sound to flow back within the fixed area, interfering with the radio waves, and making the electronic instrument users mistakenly think that the devil whisper in their ears. General Karakf and I have communicated about this. Many people in the D39 Army have had similar experiences. The soldiers called the voice "the lie of the demon" or "non-word". But in reality, it is the same."

"In the "Classic", ghosts, demons, supernatural, evil witchcraft... all these words are denied heresy. The Imperial Civil Affairs Headquarters even proposed to remove these words from the human dictionary and abandon them forever. Because we don't like the connotation they have. But after all, they are just a word, a title, a syllable with a special meaning. What you see in the fortress of the mountaintop, what happens to Coxson, well... I'll call it "ghost" or "devil" as well.

Yes. But I have to make it particularly clear that this is just a word. Using these words does not mean that we deny the true side of human beings seeing about the realm of space. We only recognize creatures and recognize that intelligent life is an organism. "Demons" may be a creature that has existed a long time ago, and even exists far longer than humans. They occupy the space field but cannot enter the main world. They have continued to reproduce and grow until we invent these words and use them to sing them."

Su Hao suddenly felt that his overall logic was a little confused, and even his thinking no longer continued the previous rules. Whether it is the earth or the red dragon world, the outside of the planet is the universe. But here, in the third stage of the world, outside the main world, there is an uncountable space field of all sizes.

Yes, only by using the word "can't count" can the number of space domains be corresponding to. This is verified by Su Hao from the human muscles and dark creatures that he has devoured in the past. Friends may deceive you, and enemies may deceive you, but they will never, and cannot join forces to deceive you. Especially when they don't know the problem between each other, the answer is absolutely true.

"Why do we create new vocabulary to describe fear of "devils"? Especially when we already have a bunch of more suitable and closer to real words."

Deacon Nashbar changed into a majestic and extremely serious expression: "For the main world, the space domain is equivalent to another world. Although they are usually very narrow and small in size. In some ancient documents of the Empire, nouns such as "alien humans" or "space variants" were used for space creatures. This is actually very appropriate. Although they have the same genes as us, they are very dirty and have various irreversible bad habits. In fact, the creatures in the space domain can also be called "non-human monsters". However, they are not the kind of life forms we are familiar with, and such titles are too difficult to pronounce."

“Isn’t it a form of life we ​​know?”

Su Hao blurted out, "What is that?"

"They are not organic creatures. In the correct way, they are special energy bodies with minds."

Nashbar said softly: "They are also facing the same crisis as humans and dark creatures. They also need resources. Although we still don't know how much impact resources have on their lives? But you have to understand that, like dark creatures, they are enemies of the empire, and their threats and powers even surpass the dark world. They influence our world in what we call "witchcraft" or "supernatural". This is the real reason why Coxon mutations. Infection is just the appearance. When Coxon searches for enemies in the fortress on the top of the mountain, he was affected by the potential demon energy, causing his mental loss, which caused him to deviate from the emperor step by step. Under the temptation of the demon, he took the initiative to enter a certain pool and touch the source of infection, thus becoming what he is now."

"Direct contact with the source of infection?"

Su Hao felt an indescribable terrible chill suddenly popping up on his back, and he couldn't help but shout: "Touch the source of infection directly? Are you saying that Coxon himself lets go of defense and lets those viruses enter the body?"

"If it weren't for the temptation from the demon, this kind of thing would be unreasonable."

Deacon Nashbar looked at Su Hao: "Don't forget that the main legion and the Purification Knight are not the National Welfare Forces. Each of us has a genetic gland in our body. The initial gland originated from the Emperor himself, which was the most precious gift he gave us. He blessed each of us. We have strong biological protection capabilities, and only a very small number of toxic substances can pose a threat to us. I carefully examined Coxon. That kind of virus could not break through the skin of the Legion warriors at all, and could only cause infection through blood. I can imagine such a picture: Coxon found the pool, then used a knife to separate his body, and immersed the bloody wound below the water surface. Then, you found him, you noticed the abnormal changes in Coxon, and he shot his comrades. Then... Coxon turned completely into a monster and fell into the darkness forever."

"Let's look at the names we are avoiding! Demons, ghosts, possessors, mutants... In the empire's realm, these words are strictly prohibited from being mentioned. Because this is a sin in itself. Evil things are everywhere, and creatures in the space field cannot break through obstacles and can only guide ordinary people in energy. They can perceive the changes in the main world, and thus lure people's subconsciousness according to the laws of development of things and induce them from the perspective. Even when we, clergy, when referring to these words, we must always remember: in the dark corners of the space field, there is no evil god in fact.

Or demons. They are just exaggerated and ignorant statements. They are meaningless synonyms. They are just non-human creatures that are strongly hostile to us, and that's all. We have to admire His Majesty the Emperor's foresight. The main legions and the purifying knights were created to fight and crush the emperor's enemies, as well as these potential space creatures. Although the power they show amazed us, it is only because their life forms are completely different from other enemies. They may not be killed by swords, but we can nail them firmly and crush them with a strong and firm will."

A strong wind blew past the outside of the house, and a heart-pounding "whimper" sound came.

Su Hao felt that there were many different scenes swaying back and forth in front of his eyes. It was blurred and clear for a while, but he couldn't connect everything, and he didn't know what it meant. The black particles in his body began to surge at this time, as if groups of dense tadpoles suddenly appeared on the calm water surface. They swam in one direction, but Su Hao could not detect any practical meaning from this behavior.

Deacon Nashbar's explanation was very clear, but Su Hao only understood three things.

First: The dark world and the human world are irresolvable enemies.

Second: There is an energy creature that is extremely hated against humans in the space realm, and they are also enemies of the dark world.

Third: The changes that happened to Coxson have already happened in between. He is not the first victim, and he will definitely not be the last one.

"I saw Coxon being occupied, then rotting, and then becoming a monster that was unreasonable."

Su Hao raised his head and looked at the deacon with his exploratory eyes: "Can anyone be tempted by them and occupied? Can our faith and our immunity have no effect in the face of these terrible invasions?"

"Haha! Did the Coxon incident scare you?"

Deacon Nashbar smiled and said, "It's always hard to accept when you hear this kind of thing for the first time. It's not surprising that there is a gap between ideals and reality. This is the truth. We must keep this secret strictly. Even in the dark world, there are many high-level dark creatures with confidentiality opinions. The Dark Council even wrote this rule into the secret book to warn every secret person. As far as I know, in history, two dark dukes took the initiative to contact space creatures and accept their temptation in order to pursue a stronger power. These dark dukes were finally sentenced to death by the parliament, and even their corpses could not enter the dark siege, but were directly burned to ashes and threw them into the depths of the swamp in the gray area."

"Actively contact space biological?"

Su Hao became interested in this matter: "I saw many evil worship objects in the fortress on the top of the mountain, including dolls with strange shapes, bones used as rituals, and candles... Well! I remembered that those candles seemed not waxy, but an abnormal substance."

"Are you talking about this?"

Nashbar stood up, walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out a piece of gray candle, and rolled along the table to Su Hao. It had burning marks on its top, and the surface was gray, which was less than ten centimeters long.

Su Hao took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, nodding: "This is it."

"This is indeed not a real candle, but an evil ritual medium made of human fat."

When he saw that "candle", a hint of disgust flashed in Nashbar's eyes: "The space domain may be very close to the main world or far away. Many people can make space converters, but in the principle, only the inventor, that is, His Majesty the Emperor himself, truly understands. Those alien creatures use energy more advanced than us. In theory, as long as they like it, they can tempt anyone."

Su Hao asked: "There is no restrictions?"

"Of course there is. Otherwise, these evil ritual substances and special media would not appear."

Nashbar continued: "Only when the distance is very close, the temptation of alien creatures can play a role. Research within the Holy See shows that demonic temptations can be actively emitted from the space domain by these creatures, or through rituals through polluters, thereby establishing a channel between the main world and different space domains. They are pulled from it, hidden quietly, or appear actively, and become worship idols of the barbaric aboriginal people in the name of the evil god."

Su Hao remembered the first time when he met General Karakov at the National Defense Forces Command, he heard him mention that the beliefs of the indigenous people in the DS A No. 66 space are very strange, and they are a strange wooden doll.

"Energy organisms have no actual form when they are in the primitive space. People always believe in the entities they see, and they are forced to give up their original ways of existence and attach themselves to a physical object, such as humans, or dark creatures."

Deacon Nashbar constantly answered Su Hao's doubts: "Ordinary people often worship things that are stronger than themselves. For alien species with strange bodies, they often have greater fear than understanding. They can see through their thinking, know what you like, want, and fear, and then modify the appearance of possessed species based on your needs and fears. If the indigenous people in the space are reproductive, their appearance will be more focused on this aspect. If they are ancient primitive worship objects, possessed species will grow sharp and huge horns, or burly bodies that match the legend. Doing this is not for them.

Difficulty. You only need to change the genes of the possessor and increase the intake of certain nutrients. The Imperial Institute has done similar experiments before. They modified the genes of the cow, so that the poor guy no longer ate grass, but became interested in meat. The cow began to become like a lion, opening his mouth to chew around his kind. It grew fangs, its hooves and feet turned into claws, and even forced other bulls to mate with it. When the process ended, it immediately ate its husband. The cow eventually turned into a monster, had three diagonals, and ate the juvenile body it gave birth to itself."

The words of the deacon of the Holy See made Su Hao nod. Genetic changes themselves mean species changes. If they are just experiments, the danger can be controlled within a certain range. But if they are released and become the tempting capital of space organisms for other intelligent lives, things will become out of control. Just like poor Coxson, perhaps he did not realize what he had done, actively infect, and then mutate.

"Stop blaming yourself for the Coxon thing. That's not your fault."

Nashbar saw some of Su Hao's thoughts and comforted him: "This is an accident, and it is also an arrogant victory for space creatures. The rebels performed evil rituals in the fortress on the top of the mountain, and dark creatures were also involved. In fact, our enemies this time were not dark creatures. They were also tempted, but General Karakoff did not notice this. Coxon paid the price for this, and we also suffered heavy losses because of it." His husband. The cow eventually turned into a monster, had three diagonals, and ate the juvenile body it gave birth to itself."
