Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 441 The Courage to Have Nothing
763
Klein's heart sank slowly.

Of course he hoped that this was just his own guess, the worst guess. In fact, nothing happened to everyone, nothing happened... But he couldn't think of other better developments, and he couldn't deceive himself, because of Amon's actions and personality Completely limited his imagination.

Hermes obviously also realized the truth of the matter. He cast a veiled and comforting look at Klein, and then said a few words casually to the guard, then quietly ended the dream and left his will.

At the edge of the stronghold in Moon City, the body of the guard suddenly swayed, and he suddenly woke up because he lost his balance.

I almost fell asleep leaning on the weapon!
The guard broke out in a cold sweat from his dereliction of duty. People who live in this land must remain vigilant at all times as long as they leave the city. An inconspicuous doze may kill everyone—— Because dreams here are always dangerous.

He looked around nervously, and found that his companions were still eating around the fire, and the meat soup in the pot had only been reduced by about half.

Only then did the guard relax, and after a few minutes of confirmation, he patted his face, regained his energy, and continued to stand guard and patrol.

In the distance outside the stronghold, Hermes reopened his eyes.

Medici continued to act as an "audience" and used his personality to prop up "psychological invisibility". He exchanged glances with Hermes, and the "audience" angel in the team nodded and said in a deep voice:

"You two should have understood the status quo."

He looked at Medici again: "His Royal Highness Red Angel, I have limited communication and understanding with His Royal Highness Shi Angel, so I dare to ask you, when pagans and believers of the Creator live together, His Highness Shi Angel will open the network of believers of the Creator. One side?"

Medici took a bite of the apple that exudes a delicious roast chicken flavor, and made a crisp sound that didn't sound like a fruit, but more like the sound of a bone being bitten off. He smiled:

"What kind of joke are you talking about, Hermes, has it been too long and you can't remember clearly? When will the Lord allow pagans and believers to live together? This kind of thing is impossible to happen."

"Besides, I don't believe that Amon will do this now."

Medici took another bite of the apple, gnawing on it.This overly strong fragrance made Klein look sideways frequently. He wanted to ask several times what this apple smells like and where it was cultivated.But his spiritual intuition told him that he might not want to know the answer.

With Amon's ability, it is very simple to pick out pious believers from pagans, and it is very simple to treat pious believers' physical defects... But the problem is that He doesn't think he should do these things.

This is the difference between mythical creatures and humans.

If it is a human angel who believes in the ancient sun god and stays alone in the Eastern Continent, he will definitely provide some help to the troubled humans who have the same belief, just like the "holy word" who has been wandering here since the sun set Angel" Steve.

The "Angel of the Holy Word" is indeed one of the angels who once followed the ancient sun god. It is one of the "angels surrounded by light and figure" in the scriptures and murals, but after all, he has fallen after the real Creator, and his spirit and viewpoint Contaminated by these bloody and insane spiritual forces.In addition, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and he has weak emotions, and he will no longer take the initiative to help the survivors of the land abandoned by God.

The "Angel of the Word" also doesn't feel that the outside world is beautiful. On the contrary, he enjoys the Eastern Continent more, and enjoys this shadowy and sinful kingdom of God even more.

He thinks that the outside world is full of temptations, evil traitors, and he is unwilling to tell the survivors what the outside world looks like.

However, as a believer in the true Creator and an insider of the "Banquet of Betrayal" (at least he thinks so), Steve will selectively pass on the belief of the true Creator to certain survivors, making these survivors fall into despair. And skeptics have a new faith to fall back on - a raving mad god is better than a creator who hasn't spoken a word for 1000 years, no?
The gods can babble, and frequently ask the gods to descend, and even babble that the "listeners" who reach this path will die if they are not promoted within a year. Although this is cruel and terrifying, it also proves that the existence of the true Creator is real, reliable, and active Very high.

"Amon wouldn't do that."

For Amon, belief in the ancient sun god is a must.

Those who believe will not be rewarded, but conversions will be punished.This is quite unfair, but this is Amon's attitude.Among the countless destroyed city-states in Land Abandoned by God, there are towns that lost all their lights in an instant because of conversion.

In the silence of everyone with different meanings, Medici finished gnawing the apple in his hand, reached out and pressed Klein's shoulder, and said in a flat tone:

"Go ahead and prepare for the worst, I mean, plan for the total destruction of the city."

"Although, for some reason, it is impossible for Amon, who has obtained Origin Castle, to stare at the Eastern Continent for a long time, but now he is 'The Fool', the good god who gave the survivors of the Eastern Continent the help they need, not to mention whether you can To gain their trust, as long as you appear in front of their eyes, they will definitely choose to pray to the 'fool' immediately and report our actions."

"Worst plan? To put it bluntly... Klein, you should understand what I mean."

It was rare for Medici to seriously call Klein's name instead of "Your boy". He looked at the real "Fool" standing in front of him, and saw that the other party looked calm and said nothing.After the red angel thought for two seconds, he still chose to speak directly:

"I know that you have helped these people, listened to the prayers of the people of this city, and seen their joyful smiles, but now this place has become a battlefield, this is war, a small, invisible war. You are on the battlefield, you cannot retreat, you must advance."

"What would you do if they attacked you?"

"If they are controlled by Amon and become his secret puppets or clones, crying to you for help without knowing the truth, and at the same time wanting to join forces to kill you, what will you do?"

"If people in the whole city have been parasitized, as long as the parasitism is removed, they will die or get out of control, what will you do?"

Hermes, who was watching the situation in the distance, turned his head and looked at Klein. He frowned and speculated that this young man might be the favored one of the ancient god "The Fool" based on the information that "he is a fellow countryman of the Creator". They are, after all, ancient, mysterious beings.

Klein fell silent.

Be hostile to the people of Moon City and Silver City, use force against them, or even fight to the death... To be honest, Klein has never considered this issue since the day he met "The Sun".

But now, this seems to be something that will happen almost [-] times out of [-], forcing Klein to face this cruel reality.

"I...I can't answer that question."

Faced with such a situation, even Klein could not help but feel a little bit of trouble—he had never considered it from the perspective of force, and the two angels who were willing to assist him were enough to suppress all the two cities that did not even have Sequence 3, but This is not what he wants - he is thinking hard about whether there is a way to avoid fighting... Amon is not in the Eastern Continent now, and he may not care about the few adherents of the Eastern Continent who have changed their letters. Are you going to kill all of these people?
He couldn't understand Amon's thoughts at all, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Your Highness the Red Angel."

Hermes spoke for Klein and relieved his mental pressure: "The situation is not that serious. I have already checked, and most of the people in the city are mentally normal. A small number of parasitic existences may also have A chance to save."

——"Parasite" also has two states.

The initial parasitism is similar to the relationship between Pallez Zarathustra and Leonard. It has a shallower level, can hear voices, and can interfere with behavior, but it cannot directly affect the host's thoughts and thinking. If you want to communicate, Must rely on sound.

And deep parasitism is the complete control that is close to the fusion of the two.

"But there is a solution to deep parasitism, isn't there? It can be dealt with through rituals that can be responded to by relying on the great being."

Medici sneered, but he didn't refute without saying a word:
"Haven't you figured out the current Amon's strength and personality, Hermes? Where can I find a high-ranking being willing to help? I'm planning to ask here... (Medici stomped his feet) The one who is merciful, or the hidden sage? By?"

Hermes looked at Medici calmly with clear eyes: "Which one do you think is better?"

"Neither one is good." Medici raised his face, and looked at Klein again, "It's mainly you, what are you going to do, kid?"

"..."

Klein, who was suddenly asked, stood up straight as if he had just woken up from a dream. He seemed to have just recovered from his own thoughts, and showed a firm look to Medici and Hermes:

"I'm going to negotiate with the people in Moon City."

"Hey!" Medici smiled, and patted Klein's shoulder forcefully, "Are you courting death?"

Klein shook his head and said seriously: "Based on what I know about Amon, I think Amon likes to bully the weak. If you two angels appeared, he might kill everyone and parasitize everyone or turn them into monsters." Become a secret puppet. And if I negotiate with Moon City under the banner of 'The Fool', maybe I won't be killed by Amon in the first place, He may, may choose to play with me, torture me, and make me fall into despair."

"You're crazy." Hermes didn't agree with Klein's thoughts, "When you enter Moon City, you must communicate with the high priest, he is very likely to have been parasitized, and if you walk over like this, you are just giving Amon away for nothing! "

"Yes." Klein asked back, "But what can I give him for nothing?"

Hermes was taken aback by this sentence.

"I have nothing, Mr Hermes."

Looking at those light golden eyes, Klein paused every word, and said very seriously:
"I'm not 'The Fool', nor the envoy of 'The Fool', nor anyone else, just an ordinary Sequence 3 Extraordinary. There is nothing in me worthy of an angel who has already obtained Origin Castle. What the king cares about."

"I have no value, and I'm not even as hated by him as these converted people, so that I have a chance to live."

"Even if there is only one person who has not been parasitized, I will try to save him from Amon's hands."

This... Hermes was still reluctant, but just when he was about to say something to dissuade him, a hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder. Medic.

"Well said, Klein, you can do whatever you want, anyway, we don't have the ability to beat the current Amon, can we?"

Medici finished this sentence in a very indifferent tone, then looked at Klein, and after looking at him seriously, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, evoking a smile.

"I will do everything I can to help you."

"Because I believe in you."

Tingen.

After Leonard finished flipping through the official documents in his hand, wrote notes and stamped them one by one, he pushed all the things on the table forward, and fell heavily on the cushion of the high-back work chair equipped by the Church of Storms.

"Old man, what day is it?"

He broke off his fingers, counting the days boredly:

"It's been 23 days since I was found by Kurt... no, from the day when the 'Fool' suddenly let me approach the Thunder Church, it has been 20 days, and it will be a month soon. In this month, I have [-] days I spent it all in the Thunder Church, and I never even went out of the church door! Now my voice is getting louder, and I will beat my chest subconsciously when I pray, old man, do you have any clues?"

Pales didn't want to talk to him, because there was nothing he could do.

Dozens of days of boredom is nothing to an old angel with a four-figure lifespan, but Leonard stays here safely and securely not only for himself but also for Him, and He has nothing to do but chat with Leonard , to relieve his bored and irritable mood—although in the eyes of other members of the Thunder Church, the deacon of the Evernight Church would suddenly talk into the air while walking, and he was talking to himself everywhere, which was obviously even more abnormal.

He comforted the young man: "Be patient."

"Old man, it's not that I can't stand loneliness, I just want to know why I have to stay in the Church of Storms?"

Leonard sank into the armchair and sighed:

"Whether it's you, Mister Fool, or Klein, they all look like they know something but don't say anything! Forget it, I can't say you, after all, you are better than Klein—Ke Ryan just disappeared without a word from me."

"... Your former colleague may have encountered some trouble."

Pallez organized his language and said slowly:

"I can probably guess that the departure of 'The Fool' must be related to Amon. It should be that their struggle is ongoing, or the result has been separated...'The Fool' asked you to take refuge in the church of the God of Thunder, no Has it been approved by the God of Thunder? This proves that the God of Thunder has at least reached a certain level of tacit understanding with The Fool... I don't even believe that The Fool is that old friend I know now."

Leonard's brain is more or less developed now. Through his mission experience, he is keenly aware of the intelligence:
"The 'fool' you know has conflicts with the former god of thunder? And is it impossible to cooperate?"

"There is no life-and-death hatred, but it is difficult to reconcile." It must be said that the subordinate who has become the "Mother of the Heavens" will help Antigonus to save face for the Mother of the Heavens... also It's not impossible, but it's not in line with the Thunder God's usual self-esteem and arrogance.Pallez said lightly, "...I'm [-]% sure that 'The Fool' is not the person I know."

"He is either the Sequence One of the 'Seer' pathway that has never shown up, or the activated source itself."

"That……"

Just as Leonard was about to speak, there was a knock on the door outside his special approval office.

Leonard sat up straight in an instant, and soon, a person came in with a file bag in his hand, and as soon as the door closed, he bowed briefly with the impatience unique to the Storm Passage, and then said:
"Captain Mitchell, your team at the Blackthorn Security Company has some things that you need to confirm."

Leonard raised his eyebrows, and while getting up to get his clothes on the hanger, he asked, "Did something happen to Fry and the others? I remember that half of my captain authority was transferred to Fry. He is qualified to handle most of the day-to-day affairs."

"I don't know that."

The Extraordinary who sent the message shook his head, and then took the initiative to grab the doorknob: "Captain Mitchell, please come out with me."

"Get out?" Leonard was a little surprised, "The Church of Thunder allowed me to go out?"

"Please don't make it look like you are being imprisoned by us!" The members of Thunder Church retorted immediately, their tone was impatient but they used honorifics, "Your Excellency Frye is waiting in the conference hall outside, you don't need to leave the church, just go to The conference hall on this floor will do.”

"Oh."

Only then did Leonard feel relieved. After all, for the past half month, Frye and the others had been handed over to the "River and Sea Church" to deal with affairs. So he naturally walked around the desk, put on his coat, walked over.

Seeing him approaching, the Extraordinary stepped back half a step winkingly, and opened the office door a crack.

Leonard was about to reach out to pick up the document bag in his hand, when suddenly, his eyes blurred, it seemed that a silver lightning struck in the air, and it seemed that a ball lightning suddenly shattered the glass and smashed in, instantly the whole room The silver snake dances wildly!
But before Leonard, who only had Sequence 5, could react, everything was over in an instant.

He blinked, and it took two full seconds before the snowflakes in front of him gradually disappeared.Immediately afterwards, he saw that the Extraordinary standing only two or three meters in front of him had disappeared and turned into a scorched black human silhouette, with his charred hand still hanging on the doorknob.

Leonard froze, his brain was temporarily unable to process the information implied by the situation in front of him.

After more than ten seconds, some spiritual brilliance began to gather beside the silhouette of the human figure, condensing into a shape with extraordinary characteristics.

Pallez, who fell silent with Leonard, suddenly spoke:

"Open that door."

"Don't take that hand away."

"okay."

Resisting the shock in his heart, Leonard pinched the doorknob with two fingers, and turned it forcefully with the severed hand, opening the door a crack.

Leonard's pupils shrank suddenly - behind the door was not the corridor of the office floor, but an abstract and brightly colored world!

——The spirit world is connected behind the door!

Spirit world?Why is it the spirit world?Leonard was dumbfounded. Suddenly, he heard a light slap, and something fell from the broken part of the broken arm and landed on the ground—it turned out to be a dead transparent little piece with twelve links. insect.

Leonard instantly understood everything, and he also knew what this Extraordinary wanted to do.

"Amon..."

This is the power of the "door" pathway... Was this stolen by this avatar?It doesn't seem like... and the old parasite seemed to be infected by his fear, and it took a long time before he gathered the Worm of Time that came to the door, and then said in a sigh-like tone:

"I can't see through him anymore..."
