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

871
After a while - not too long ago, Amon once again set foot on the land of the Eastern Continent.

The sun above his head made him a little hot, but the shadow of death constantly reminded him of the end of this journey.

Go to Chernobyl, he himself thought, or someone said this in his ears, your father (me) once came out of there, and now he (me) is also waiting for you there, So you must go back, come back to Him (me).

The Land Abandoned by Gods, he really wanted to continue to call it the Land Abandoned by Gods. After all, the God who favored this place was still dead and had died long ago. For Amon, as long as the ancient sun god did not favor the Eastern Continent, then the God here would All people have been abandoned by God.

Of course, only he would think so. Nowadays, the people of the Eastern Continent have received the attention of "The Fool". They have sunshine and a variety of safe and healthy food. "The Fool" is about to fulfill his promise of salvation. The vast land in the north of the Northern Continent has almost been taken into his possession. It is the new home of the descendants of the giants in the outside world, and will soon become the new home of Silver City and Moon City.

Although he was running towards death, Amon had no choice, so he maintained a relatively even speed.

After walking for a while on the road away from the ruins of the Giant King's Court, Amon saw traces of human activities.

After seeing the characteristic camp of the Eastern Continent, Amon immediately recalled many things - taking one or two lanterns while passing by, or touching something from the camp was already the most gentle thing. He had In one night, the lights of an entire city-state that had converted to the True Creator were stolen, and the intermittent screams and various cries came from the darkness, and the pagans who abandoned the ancient sun god inside were " "Shadow", under the attack of monsters and secrets, there was no longer a living person in less than a minute.

The true Creator will not save you, Amon thought jokingly, He has gone crazy and cannot save himself.

He will only use gibberish to convert you, get the salvation you think you have in your hallucinations, and finally fall into madness.When everyone goes crazy, there will naturally be no pain and despair in surviving in the dark.

In this way, after walking slowly for a while, Amon saw the Silver City Afternoon Town Camp built using abandoned buildings.

Behind the barrier formed by huge rocks and stone pillars, the bonfire burned quietly.Members of the Silver City exploration team in twos and threes were patrolling or guarding under the illumination of this light, preventing accidents.

This reminded Amon of this city-state, the Moon City, and the experience of his clone and Klein traveling together on the Eastern Continent.

After the true creator ceased to exist, the people here were handed over to the "Fool", that is, Klein Moretti.

To be honest, Amon was shocked when he first learned this information.

Because he didn’t believe that the traitor Sasril would still want to find a home for these remaining humans in the Eastern Continent, even if this was the anchor given by the other party to win over the “Fool”, even if it was just a pretense, putting Those believers and humans were handed over like objects, but didn't the result also give these people a chance to live?Admit that Saslier really wants to save these people, rather than unilaterally seducing and falling. He really wants to catch something and save something, just like denying his previous actions.

It's like admitting that everything he did before was just meaningless venting of anger and personal grudges.

Amon was not happy to see this scene.

It is true that He has no morals and is not bound by morality. He can kill whenever He wants without any reason.

But Amon just happens to think that he is dealing with these traitors from the standpoint of the ancient sun god... But he actually has nothing to care about. Even if his father may be more sympathetic to the idea of ​​​​the true creator, it does not prevent Amon from hating these things. people.

Amon can do whatever he wants, because the sun god will not criticize him.

So He decided to simply let the survivors of the Eastern Continent disappear completely, but he didn't want to give them a happy life, so He gradually parasitized these people, letting the symbol of the monocle gradually spread like pollution, bringing countless terrors, and finally completely Swallowed these two city-states.

After doing all this, indeed, just like every time he dealt with betrayers in the past, Amon felt in a good mood.

but……

"what is that?"

In the afternoon town camp not far ahead, a "Dawn Knight" nearly two meters tall was standing on the barrier, looking into the distance.

After the sun cleared away most dangers, the mortality rate of people was greatly reduced, and the food sources of many monsters were reduced. What they now need to guard against are only some monsters that come out to look for food during the day.But even so, these warriors will not slack off.

Suddenly, he saw a humanoid shadow approaching in the distance.

That was... "Dawn Knight"'s eyebrows frowned slightly. He thought of something and felt a little excited.

People who wear clothes that are completely different from those in Silver City and Moon City can walk freely in the Eastern Continent. There are only two "Fool" envoys in the records, or they are elusive and sometimes help them, sometimes they don't. His Highness Steve, the "Angel of the Holy Word", is hostile to them and seems to be mentally disturbed.At this moment, a stranger who obviously did not belong to the Eastern Continent appeared, which made the "Dawn Knight" feel inexplicably excited. He was thinking about whether the envoy of God had returned and was preparing to take the second group of people to the outside world.

But didn’t the first group of people leave just a short time ago?It has just been a week. Is this time really enough for them to build their next residence in the outside world?The most important thing is, is that really a "god envoy"? "Dawn Rider" is full of thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, the thought disappeared from his mind.

Amon, who had stolen this idea, had some surprises. For the first time, he felt that something was wrong with the "idea" he had stolen.He felt as if he had stolen a set of iterative data rather than a person's thoughts.

It is difficult for people other than Amon to understand such mysterious things as "feeling", but Amon clearly feels that the human in front of him is not a real human being, but a flesh and blood that is perfectly simulated with memory, data and spirituality. They still have extraordinary characteristics and have been programmed with a calculated lifespan. They are not real humans, but a bit like spiritual creatures.

Amon thought about it for a moment, and when he looked up at these people again, there was no interest in his eyes at all.

"It turns out they are all dead..."

The God of Deception pinched his monocle thoughtfully, and raised the corners of his mouth happily: "So that's it, I thought it was a 'miracle' of resurrection... Ha, it seems that even if the source Even a castle cannot accomplish such a big miracle."

"I was still thinking about why you could still show up alive after I clearly killed you all and parasitized them all. At that time, Sefirah Castle was still in my hands. I originally thought that some of you should be 'miracles' The resurrected existence also has his marionette and the creation of the demon of knowledge, so he plans to instigate you to rebel and make you realize that the family, friends, and relatives who accompany you are all the dreams that the 'Fool' let you have. Unexpectedly, you are actually the product of 'reappearance', so there is no point in deceiving you."

Amon laughed, defrauded the distance, passed through the afternoon town camp, and arrived directly in front of Silver City.

He looked at the "people" coming and going in the city, looked at the "people" patrolling back and forth on the city wall, looked at those "people" who were eating, resting, playing musical instruments and singing hymns praising the Creator, and collecting money. The smiling "people" of the food... Amon looked at these people, looking at these resurrected "people", this group of vivid data, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually widened:
"Klein, you should know what your followers are, right? But you still decided to protect them and treat them as real people. It seems that you are better than me at deceiving yourself."

"Kill them again? It's not impossible. I originally planned to do so, but Klein should be fusing the uniqueness now, and it is impossible to clearly feel my actions. Before he wakes up, the Demon of Knowledge will definitely And I will make up for all the 'people' I killed, so there is no need for me to do this."

Amon pinched his right eye socket and walked towards the east.

……

The next day, Saturday.

The grayness of the sky seemed to be thicker, and no one spoke for a long time in the house where the Moretti family was located.

After returning from get off work at noon, Benson stood behind the bay window with a solemn expression, looking at the pedestrians hurriedly coming and going outside, wondering what he was thinking.

Melissa sat on the sofa next to the coffee table, lowering her head, looking at the simple machines she made, as if they had turned into statues. "Huh, no matter what, the Thunder Church is actively maintaining order, and the two batches of relief food from Feneport have gradually brought society back on track." Benson breathed out, touched his hairline, and turned around Come on, force yourself to smile and say, "No matter what, Backlund is definitely safer than most places. Melissa, take a rest for a while, aren't there social practice activities in the afternoon?"

Melissa didn't look up, and said with a faint voice:
"Kleon found a good job and our life gradually improved. As a result, an accident took him away..."

"We moved away from Tingen to start a new life, you got the job you wanted as a government employee, I entered university and started on the right path, and then the war broke out..."

"We finally adapted to this environment and prayed that the war would end soon. As a result, the emperor was killed..."

"Finally, the order became a little more stable, and the Church of Thunder began to maintain the country. As a result, the evil god took away Klein's soul, the goddess's church disappeared, we lost our faith, and we must convert to the God of Thunder..."

Having said that, Melissa raised her head slowly, looked at her brother with eyes full of confusion and said:

"Benson, is it just so difficult to obtain and maintain a better life than before?"

Benson was speechless for a moment. He looked at his sister's confused and sad eyes. The eldest brother, who had taken up the responsibility of the family early on and had always acted as a reliable and optimistic family pillar in front of his younger brothers and sisters, also fell into silence.

"I'm sorry." After a deathly silence, Melissa said softly.

"You don't have to apologize, Melissa." Benson braced himself and smiled, "None of us did anything wrong, but life and fate are like this, bad luck always comes one after another. ...Forget it, let's not talk about this. Now, do you want to take a nap? Or have a snack?"

"No, I'll go back to the room right away."

Melissa stood up quietly, lowered her head, and walked to her room in a depressed mood.She put her hand on the doorknob, and after a while, whispered to Benson:

"Benson, the professors of the Thunder Church hope that we will all convert, and it seems that they do not intend to continue to recruit female students. Benson, I am so worried. I finally got into college. If I convert to the God of Thunder, what will happen? Won’t you be kicked out of school?”

"No, Melissa, don't scare yourself."

Benson was also startled by his sister's speech. He was a little nervous, but after all, he could not act nervously in front of his sister, which would further infect her with his bad emotions.He quickly used his eloquence to appease his sister: "Don't be too nervous, Melissa. Didn't the church issue an announcement to introduce the faith of the Mother Earth Church?"

"I heard that the Mother Earth Church encourages childbirth, work, and women's studies. Maybe we can choose to convert to the Mother Earth Church, so that we can continue to go to school. Haha, you are from Backlund Technical University The first batch of students, no matter what, you will not be dismissed."

Melissa listened to Benson's words quietly. She didn't say anything, she just nodded and went into the room to rest.

The two of them had less than two hours at home at noon, so they did not turn on the gas for heating.Benson came to the sofa with a blanket in his arms, closed his eyes in the increasingly cold room, and wanted to take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep.

A noon passed like this.

In the afternoon, he returned to work tired and depressed.

Benson worked diligently, constantly shifting his attention from one document to another, dealing with the various events at hand with the same efficiency as before.So far, the fact that the salary of government employees has not been reduced is his greatest psychological comfort. He urgently needs to use busy work to cover up his uneasiness and helplessness against the turbulent reality.

During the occasional break, he walked into the lounge with a cup of mellow coffee, ready to smoke a cigarette to relieve his mood.

As soon as he entered, he heard his colleagues communicating quietly.

"Have you heard? The young lady from the Hall family seems to have left home. The Hall family announced that she was engaged and therefore left the family..." This colleague Benson is not familiar with, but it seems to be an inheritance. He is a child of a small aristocratic family who does not have a title or family property, so he has a better understanding of the affairs between aristocrats. "...Miss Hall seems to have only grown up last year. She is not 20 years old this year, and I don't know if she is married." Where...she is so favored, I thought the wedding would be held with great fanfare, but it ended like this."

At this point, he laughed a few times and teased: "Maybe there is something hidden."

"I seem to have an impression of the lady you mentioned. Is she the one who runs the foundation?" There are still many people who love gossip. Another colleague who was smoking immediately answered the question with interest, "During this period, Didn’t the church expose a lot of scandals in the royal family? Maybe something happened to Miss Hall and she was sent away in a hurry by her family. "

Based on these unreasonable speculations, a group of people discussed enthusiastically,

Benson was not interested in this. He slowly closed the door and prepared to go to other lounges.At this moment, several people who looked like security guards and police inspectors passed by him. They were discussing secrets in another sense in a low voice:
"Have you heard? There seems to be a lot of strange things happening in Becklandry."

"Some people will suddenly wake up after falling asleep, and then find themselves in another place, a strange city."

Benson was a little curious about this kind of thing. He followed the two colleagues and listened to them continue: "Yes! I heard that in that city, there is a church of the evil god, but no one knows which evil god it is. "

"I also heard that some people saw dead people there... There was a man whose fiancée died. When he woke up, he found that he had arrived in that city and saw his fiancée working in the company fine! It's just that he Before I could do anything, I fell asleep again."

"There is such a thing..." Another person was horrified.

Being able to see dead people... Benson's fists clenched violently, which reminded him of bad things. He didn't want to listen anymore, and immediately turned around and left, entering a quiet lounge.

Those people were still communicating in low voices:

"In those secret gatherings, some people began to spread demon-related beliefs again."

"The church should regulate it, but..."

"...Who knows what form those damn temptations will take this time? If we want to clean up the belief in demons, I think we should close down that food factory first! Do you know how many people die there every day? "

"Ten at most, no casualties for at least two months."

Another person asked, "Do you know how much tax food factories pay to the church every month?"

The speaker paused for a moment: "I don't know." His attitude was still tough: "But I think they are the real devils! If we want to protect the people of Backlund, we should first shut down this industry, and then It’s right to take it back to the church!”

"Save it." Another person said, "If you investigate carefully, you will know that they provide nearly a thousand jobs..."

There was a stagnation in the conversation, and the two extraordinary men from the church whispered and gradually walked away.
