Chapter 15

"knock knock"

In front of a detached villa in the Jowood District, Richard Ernst, who was carrying a suitcase, bent his fingers and knocked gently on the door.

There was no answer from the door, and no footsteps, but Richard was in no hurry.While waiting, He heard footsteps coming from behind. Looking back, he saw two strange women coming hand in hand, one tall and one short. They stood outside the black railing in the garden, looking at Him curiously.

"Hi, we're here to visit Mr. Vaughn." The tall lady said, she showed a polite smile, "Excuse me, is he back?"

"He went out?" Richard was stunned for a moment, he came in a hurry, only now did he realize that the house was really quiet, not even a breath of breath.The Temperance Angel, who thought it was the Lord not wanting to see Him and deliberately pretended not to hear, was puzzled for two seconds, then turned around, took off his top hat, and asked the two ladies in a friendly manner, "I am his student, what happened? "

The two women looked at each other.

"This... this is because we met Qilingus outside by chance before." The small woman replied, she looked young, and she seemed to be just a young girl with her stature, "You know that before the hurricane About to infiltrate the Duke's ball, sir?"

"I understand very well." The angel in question replied.

"Mr. Vaughan and we encountered Chillingus and nearly died (Richard:! Thank you Lord for leaving me the bounty.). Mr. Vaughan left for refuge that night, and we temporarily moved, He stayed in the nearby church until the news of Chillingus' death came before he dared to go back."

After speaking, they pointed to the mailbox at the door.Inside was a letter from three days ago, and no one has come to take it away.

"So that's how it is..."

Richard nodded, the Lord certainly would not really leave because of refuge, there must be a reason for him to go out.Maybe the Aurora will know the truth, but Richard doesn't want to get too close to those "companions" who are too fanatical, which will bring danger to the comrades of the foundation and sect.

Temperance Angel regretted for a moment. It seems that he can't report to the Lord today, so he can only go to the East District immediately to check the situation.He is very busy, always so busy that he has no time to stay. He has to go through the formalities to go to Feneport in these two days, and he will have to communicate with his collaborators far away in Intis later.The church of the benevolent Mother Earth highly appreciates His helping children, and it is customary to hold a charity dinner when He makes an appointment to visit, and He cannot be absent.

"If Mr. Vaughan hadn't protected us, maybe we would have been killed that day." The lady with brown curly hair sighed softly, "But the news about Qilingus' death has spread all over the country. Mr. Vaughn saw The newspaper should be back shortly afterwards."

"Yes." Richard nodded with deep understanding, "He is a very gentle person... But I still have urgent matters, and I have to leave Backlund tonight or tomorrow morning. If he comes back, please say hello to him for me .”

The pale sun hanging in the sky has been completely swallowed by the crimson moon, and the peaceful starlight and crimson moon shadow enveloped the entire city.The chaos is silenced, and the flames are swallowed by darkness. This is the most grand requiem ceremony descended by the gods. The souls that have just died and the people who were originally induced by the demons have obtained the blessing of tranquility at this time. Instead, they closed their eyes in unison, fell down quietly, and fell into a dreamless deep sleep filled with the fragrance of moonflowers.

"...If the Goddess of the Night descends in person, or asks a servant to come, I will probably accept it after meeting and continue in another place."

Edward squinted his eyes, staring squarely at the crimson full moon in the sky.There is no need to hide anymore, the soulless body of "Nightmare" is like a puppet without strings, falling straight backwards.This place has long overlapped with the virtual "Abyss". After the power of the Goddess of the Night arrived in this small town and put everyone into a deep sleep, she naturally pulled her and the "Abyss" into the dream of this group—perhaps the servant of God Arianna was on her way, ready to attack His exposed flesh in the real world.

Edward quickly made a judgment, a black moat split open under his feet, and a faint blue flame burst out.He revealed his mythical creature form without hesitation!The ferocious black exoskeleton twisted like a blade drilled out of the skin. When the torn skin healed again, its hardness surpassed that of steel, and the meandering blood turned into thin lines of fire coiled around the body.

"But just the power projected from a distance makes me retreat, Goddess of the Night—you really look down on the 'demon' too much. "

The smell of sulfur was so strong that it seemed that a hundred volcanoes erupted at the same time, and half of the dream city was instantly reduced to a sea of ​​flames.Curved goat horns protruded from the top of the devil's head, and lava flowed between his fingers. His huge body, which rose to tens of meters in an instant, exploded the small building he was in. When the huge black bat wings were fully opened, even the night sky was covered. Most of it is covered.The demon swept across the low buildings with flaming eyes, turned around, and several houses collapsed one after another, with a low growl in his throat:
"die"!
Foul words fall, weighing more than a thousand catties, and death strikes, as light as a feather.

The orders to take lives were issued in the city, and a cyan aura that could not be detected by the naked eye quietly mixed into the thick black mist like a tide.So in this huge dreamland, people who are dying, people who are dying, people who are desperate for the future... whispers of temptation are all heard in the ears.

"Your life full of misery can come to an end..."

"You either never get happiness, or you lose hope just as your life improves. It doesn't matter. Living is a painful journey."

"If the end of this painful journey is eternal peace and the people you long for reunion, delicious food, warm quilts, healthy bodies, long-lost children... then death is also worth looking forward to?"

"Your life is worthless, even a drag on others."

"Life is better than death. If you want to get salvation, you have to abandon it."

"In the world after death there will be no cold and heat, no worries and sorrows, and no pain." The devil's whisper echoes in the dreams of every unfortunate person, and he uses his authority to choose the fallen To those who have given up on themselves, select those who have ushered in the "decline" and are just on the verge of death, and then guide them to draw an end to their own lives.

"Give them to me, for the gods will not save you."

Die, die.The demon that roams the earth said, you are like dust and grass, even if you die, no one will care.

Afflicted by illness, expensive medical bills used up all the savings of the family, and the frail girl who saw her parents getting old day after day shed tears in her dream, guilt made her give up her life; she has not been found for three days The impoverished man who worked, but was reluctant to eat the moldy bread in his arms, curled up in a dirty corner and died his last breath. A gray mouse looked left and right, and took the bread from his hands; powerless The mother who raised the child finally gave up herself in the exhaustion and despair of not seeing the future, leaving the child who did not know what sadness and death were, crying loudly, absorbing the last trace of warmth from the mother's embrace.

All beings are in various states, and there are thousands of sorrows.

"Of course, I will give you salvation. The world is so cruel and life is so small, why not give it to me, I will make good use of each of you, you are very precious, I will not waste it at all."

Then one pair after another of the dull, walking corpse eyes flowed tears, and then closed forever.They gave up their lives in their dreams, and they would die silently in reality. This is the most peaceful death.In their dreams, there is a red moon, a black sky, a hand that gently lifts them up and helps them get rid of their heavy bodies, and an angel who looks at them kindly and leads them to sink into the lightless deep black sea until they sleep forever They didn't know anything, and naturally they didn't feel the slightest pain.

Their accumulated resentment, the last unwillingness and sorrow before death converged into a gray air current, and different but equally sad faces emerged as they surged, converging towards the small building of the Nighthawks in Tingen in the dream.

And under the power of An Ning, the mother body—Megauss has long lost her fighting spirit. She was a believer in steam before she was alive, but now she is watched by the night after her death.The heir of the evil god is still struggling, absorbing the gray energy firmly, and trying to drive this useless mother body out of here.But she just stared up at the sky blankly, under the empty eye sockets were two long dry bloodstains, under the crimson moonlight, she seemed to be crying.

In the next second, the demon crushed her.

Edward lifted the roof, held the formed offspring in his hands, and removed the remains of the mother.Eyes burning with faint blue flames lightly swept over the Seer who closed his eyes tightly and trembling in the small building, and the Midnight Poet who was instructed by the Worm of Time to close his eyes and clenched his fists.They obtained the most direct protection against "death", but nothing more. The "Insect of Time" is trying its best to maintain the sanity and life of the Midnight Poet, and he is indeed too weak to even lose this weak carrier... What a pity, I wanted to lure the Midnight Poet to commit suicide, so that the Insect of Time could reveal his true identity , killed him to perform the ritual...

According to the original plan, he should sacrifice the entire city in blood, help his allies descend to the gods and at the same time complete the sixth massacre, and then advance to Sequence One. go.But almost always there is no rapid change. If the appearance of the Worm of Time is a surprise, then the gaze of the Evernight Goddess can only make him give up his promotion plan this time.

"..." Ah, yes, there is one more thing to do.

Enough death and enough resentment made the carrier in his hand finally change from illusion to reality, then the time for him to wait has come.

The cyan aura, which is difficult to detect with the naked eye, quietly gathered again, mixed with the resentment of the heir of the evil god, and was swallowed by the child eager to grow up.For the imminent doomsday, it is not always true to play the game of allies and play house with the gods on the earth seriously.The Outer God "King of Decline" certainly hopes that the gods on earth will continue to intrigue and restrain each other.It's best not to give birth to a new true god, and it's best to keep going crazy if you're crazy.

The "True Creator" is much more cautious than Roselle, his obedience for more than 1000 years, even coupled with his own long-term madness and intermittent sobriety, can't make him lose his guard completely.

Edward has never been able to find a safe time to pollute him, and this time the divine descent is undoubtedly a good opportunity-the "decline" path is completely unfamiliar to the gods of the earth, and the goddess of the night just transmits power at this time, and she can pollute him. With the effect of the curse disguised as "distress", the high-level authority will always overlap somewhat. "Decline" happens to include some images of death. Who can accurately distinguish which one it comes from?
"The ceremony has been completed." His voice rumbled, "Aren't you ready to do it?"

The good fortune and favor of the King of Angels came, and a giant silver snake suddenly swam out of the corner of the dream world.The giant snake's scarlet eyes faced the red moon in the sky, its huge body coiled up the entire city, and its huge mouth bit its tail, forming a closed loop of fate. ——"Restart!"

The twinkling of the stars stopped for a moment, and the night that fell from the sky slowly returned to the sky.The filth receded, tranquility reigned over this quiet city again, everything returned to the original, only life had passed away.

The demon opened his eyes on the ruins. He still looks like a human being, and his posture has not changed, but there is something black in his hand.

Edward glanced at his pocket watch, from the time he started to successfully escape from the dream, the seconds had completed a circle, and Tingen's fate had undergone a great reversal in 30 seconds, if there were no annoying fortune-teller and Evernight goddess Nosy attention.Then according to the original plan, if the desire and evil thoughts are successfully enlarged and all people are incited to kill each other, there should be no complete person here who can still breathe.

He quickly sank into the spirit world.

Ince Zangwill finally controlled his trembling hands.

He remembered this aura, and he didn't dare to forget it, because he once solemnly swore under the holy emblem of the goddess that he would never betray the church and the people he wanted to protect, and then he was encouraged by His Highness the Pope to advance to Sequence 4.

And then...then he failed.

Ince Zangwill's fingers dug deep into the wall.He failed, he has failed once, so this time must succeed.This is not what he wants, but there is no way out!The talent is not good enough, and the political achievements are only mediocre. His hard work has finally allowed him to accumulate enough merits and get the chance to become a demigod.

But it failed, and it almost lost control during the promotion process!Complete failure!I won't have a second chance again!Do not!Do not!You can't do this to me!I work harder than anyone!You can't deny me just because of one failure!I still have a chance, and I am still worth cultivating!I am loyal to the Church and the Goddess, I—damn it!No one listened to the hysterical roar of this loser at all. His promotion qualifications were handed over to Ilya, and that woman... successfully completed the promotion!He also received the honorable title of "Eye of the Goddess"!That position should have belonged to me, such glory should have belonged to me!
He was panting heavily, and his spirit was unprecedentedly excited, and the eye that was not blind was covered with bloodshot eyes, so red that it looked like it was about to bleed.

0-08 glides happily on his notebook, as if dancing:

"After feeling the breath of the Evernight Goddess, Ince Zangwill was terrified, but he found that the Goddess didn't pay attention to his existence at all. Perhaps, probably, the Evernight Goddess didn't bother to kill him by the way!"

"Poor Ince Zangwill, he has finally realized that he is worthless, and it fills him with determination."

"Ince Zangwill entered the ruins of the Blackthorn Security Company—everyone is still asleep, and no one is awake. This is a perfect opportunity to take the holy relic. But something strange happened, how could it be A Nighthawk has awakened? But Dunn is dead, this weakling with only Sequence 8 can't stop the emotional Sequence 5 at all."

"The Nighthawk is dead. Ince Zangwill has taken the urn. Cheers! You finally won your second chance for promotion!"

On the peak of the Land Abandoned by God, in the depths of the eternal darkness, the "angel of destiny" Ouroreus who was kneeling and praying with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.Countless chaotic symbols flowed in His eyes, and finally converged into silver-white symbols connected end to end.The good fortune accumulated in this life melted at an unimaginable speed like snow in the sun. Twelve pairs of pale wings spread out. Ouroreus' eyes lost their luster. He closed his eyes and fell down peacefully. go down.

Flawless wings and feathers covered his body. Losing too much luck at one time was a bad omen. In order to prevent it from affecting the Lord and future events, He immediately started the next stage of fate.

The body of "Angel of Destiny" Ouroreus quickly lost its vitality and became one of countless beautiful snake sloughs.
