Chapter 371: Sacrifice and Choice
When the sound of gunfire, explosions and fighting filled the entire Lost City, there was silence and peace in the huge soul room.
After arranging her men to guard the door, Anna walked into this sacred building alone.
The towering and gorgeous domed ceiling, and the exquisite murals recording the history of the city on the walls.
However, what took away all of Anna's attention in an instant was a diamond-shaped crystal engraved with ancient runes located in the center of the hall, enshrined on a round table!
From the irregular crystal, an extremely dazzling blue light was emitted, illuminating the entire soul chamber.
Looking at the sacred source so close at hand, Anna couldn't help but get closer step by step. Her face shrouded in blue light seemed to be mixed with excitement, intoxication, and other complex emotions, and she murmured to herself:
"The divine source...it really exists..."
"Constantine, I finally found it..."
Thinking of her dead brother, a flash of hatred suddenly flashed in Anna's eyes.
Constantine, don't worry, I will avenge you, not only the person who killed you, but also the Holy Trinity who has made your life extremely painful. I will...
Whispering in her heart, Anna came to the sacred source, took out a piece of smooth silk cloth, and carefully wrapped it.
Just when she was overjoyed, Laura's voice suddenly came from the door:
"Anna! Stop!"
Turning back suddenly, Anna saw the stumbling block that had been standing in front of herself and the Holy Trinity - Laura and Lu Qi!
Both of them held firearms in their hands, but they did not point the guns at her.
Looking at Anna and the sacred source in her arms, Laura took a step forward and persuaded her earnestly:
"Your men have been defeated, give up!"
Even though she knew Anna was an undercover agent of Holy Trinity, Laura still couldn't bring herself to be cruel and wanted to reach out and pull her back from the edge of the cliff...
However, when you have reached the end of your life, how can you give up your only life-saving straw?!
"No!"
"You have already taken Constantine away from me, don't try to take it away from me again!"
Facing Ana’s accusation, Laura frowned and took a step forward again:
"At this point, are you still planning to sacrifice your life for the Holy Trinity? Wherever they go, they will only bring death...and this is their nature, and they will never change!"
"I gave up everything for this. I don't want to just hand it over to Holy Trinity!"
After a pause, Anna continued:
"What about your father?"
"You will make him a joke in the history of mankind! You are so close, how can you give up?!"
Hearing this, Laura couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
Seeing Laura struggling and thinking, Lu Qi on the side understood that the time had come for her to make a decision.
In order to restore his father's reputation, expose the sacred source to the world and usher in greater chaos, or to bury this artifact that caused the dispute forever...
At the same time, the unwilling Anna was still using words to try to seduce Laura and make Laura
"Think of the hundreds of millions of people who are suffering and dying. We can save them, and together we can change the world!"
"Isn't this what you want? If your father knew, he would be proud of you..."
"Yes, I have thought so too."
While speaking, Laura slowly raised her head, with only strong determination in her eyes:
"However, after experiencing all this, I suddenly realized that the price of doing this is too high!"
"It will indeed change the world, but change is not always a good thing!"
This sentence was what Jacob once said to her.
Perhaps, from the first moment he saw Laura, he knew that Laura would face the difficult choice she is facing now.
And Laura also made her own choice.
"Our life will eventually end, death is a part of life..."
"It's easy for you to say, you are not the one who is about to die!"
"But this is not just about you, it is about humanity and the protection of the fundamental value of humanity!"
"So, even if I sacrifice my father's reputation and everything he pursues, I will never let you take it away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jacob and Sophia, who had arrived belatedly, arrived at the Soul Room from another entrance.
Seeing Anna holding the Holy Source in her hand, Jacob immediately said:
"The source of the sacred should not exist in the world in the first place!"
"I don't care! This is my last and only hope, and no one can stop me!"
Before she finished speaking, Anna, who was caught between front and rear attacks, suddenly took out a pistol from her waist and was about to shoot Jacob.
"careful!"
At this critical moment, Lu Qi, who had been playing soy sauce beside him, took action!
Bullet time, start!
Lift the gun, aim, shoot!
Only two "puff" sounds were heard, and the bullets shot out hit Anna's pistol one after another, knocking it away!
Anna, who was in pain, staggered and suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Seeing the tragedy that was stopped in time, Laura breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Anna:
"Anna, that's it..."
Realizing that the situation was over, Anna lowered her head and looked at the sacred source in her arms, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken!
She quickly opened the silk cloth and held the sacred source of intense blue light tightly in her hands!
"No!"
At Laura's exclamation, a burst of more intense blue light suddenly emerged from the sacred source.
In an instant, two materialized streams of light appeared in Anna's eyes, and they were sucked in by the sacred source!
Lu Qi, who witnessed this scene, roughly understood the principle of the sacred source.
The divine source does not give humans immortality, but takes away their death and lifespan!
With the completion of a certain mysterious ritual, Anna, who was paralyzed on the ground, seemed to have temporarily fallen into a state of weakness. She involuntarily let go of the sacred source in her hand and let it fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Laura immediately stepped forward, picked up the silk cloth, and wrapped the sacred source of strong light again.
Seeing that Laura had obtained the Holy Source, Lu Qi did not and immediately shouted:
"We have to leave here quickly before the undead army comes..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of heavy footsteps and the sound of armors clashing at the door.
Following the sound, I saw a large number of undead warriors slowly approaching from the two entrances of the Soul Chamber!
Seeing this scene, Jacob quickly took Sophia's hand, stepped back slowly, and reminded him loudly:
"Laura! Lu Qi! The sacred source must not be taken out of here!"
"That will only bring more death and chaos!"
Chapter completed!
