"Courage and sacrifice?"

The king of decay put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Amon, and asked again: "Do you want to learn courage and sacrifice?"

Amon touched his eyes: "I don't want to learn, I just want to understand what this is."

"Is this what your father told you?"

"Yes."

"It's very simple. Let me ask you a question." Outer God returned his gaze to the newspaper calmly, "Since this is what your father expects of you, are you willing to die for your father?"

"..." Amon pinched his monocle again, with a usual smile on his face, "Is there any cause and effect? ​​I mean, what happened to me made me die, and what can I get in exchange for my death? "

"There is no need for any cause and effect." The Declining King turned a page of the newspaper, "You just need to answer me if you want to."

"... all of me will die?"

"Correct."

"Will father resurrect me in the future?"

"Ask this kind of question to your father when the time comes."

"..." Amon pondered for a while, and slowly found a place to sit down, frowning, and the mask-like smile on his face showed a distressed expression due to thinking.He was silent for an exceptionally long time. It was so long that Outer God finished reading the whole newspaper and switched to the next book. Amon finally said, "I don't know until that time."

"I think I will run away. My father used to be half-old, so the spirit can be regarded as indestructible. It will exist in his way forever and will return one day. Since he has existed forever, it doesn't seem to matter whether his body survives or not. Meaning. I will try to avenge him, if I can be resurrected, it is not unacceptable to die for my father. If he is not willing to resurrect me, or if I can’t survive even if I sacrifice him, then I will run away.”

"Hmm." The Declining King was noncommittal, "Then are you interested in the so-called courage and sacrifice?"

"Despite my father's expectations, I'm not interested."

"Hmm." Outer God answered him lightly, "You are the mythical creature, why do you have to use all your power to serve humans?"

Late at night, on a dark and remote path in the East District, a girl walking carefully with a big bag full of old clothes.

She was wearing an old but neat light blue dress with a white apron.She carefully looked around while walking, and tried to choose a path with gas lights, so she took a long detour and wasted a lot of time.She's obviously aware of the recent rampant kidnappings.But today's work has been busy until now. If I go back before dark, I will not be able to buy bread tomorrow.For her own future livelihood, even if there are kidnappers outside, she must bite the bullet and work until late at night.

Go home through this alley...

She whispered to herself, cheering herself up.

The girl stood under the dim gas lamp, looking carefully at the dark alley.The light can only illuminate the entrance of the alley, and after two meters, there is darkness, as if a big mouth to choose someone to eat, which makes people panic.

The girl took a soft breath and walked in more cautiously.Step by step, she slowly looked around, trying not to make any noise.When she walked to the middle of the alley, her tense expression and body showed signs of softening, and her steps became a little lighter.

At this moment, a closed wooden door on the left side of the alley suddenly opened, and a gauze coated with ether was hidden in one hand covering her mouth and nose!The girl's eyes widened immediately, she held her breath subconsciously, and struggled violently, then another hand stretched out from the darkness, grabbed her neck fiercely, and dragged her into the dark room.

boom.With a soft sound, the wooden door closed, and the alley returned to silence.

"This little girl is quite strong."

Feeling that the strength of the struggle in the arm is getting weaker and weaker, someone in the darkness sneered: "See how long you can last."

At this moment, he felt a sticky and cold thing being patted on his cheek, slowly sliding down.Is it water? Is this broken house leaking?
But it hasn't rained recently...

"...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" The kidnapper suddenly screamed heart-piercingly, let go of the girl imprisoned by him, and scratched her cheek desperately. Along the way, there was a burning pain like skinning and gouging out bones!The kidnapper struggled to get out a match and stumbled to the only broken mirror in the cabin.crack.With a soft bang, the match was lit, illuminating his vision.

He saw another human face in his own face!
It turned out that what fell on his face was a piece of flesh and blood!The piece of flesh devoured his skin, digging a gap in his body, and a strange face grew out of it!That face was expressionless, dull and terrifying, and kept moving, as if trying to get out of his body.

At this time, he heard a slight coughing sound behind him.

The girl who he thought had lost the ability to resist slowly sat up, took out a bottle of irritating potion from her pocket, and took a deep breath, then her nose and tears flowed out together.

"Woooo... finally... woooo... hooked..."

The girl was choked and said while wiping tears.

No matter how obtuse he may be, the kidnapper knows he has fallen into a trap.The crack with the human face has cracked to the shoulder, and half of the face has completely lost consciousness.He gritted his exposed teeth ferociously, resisted the pain and took out a small section of signal light from his sleeve, lit the unextinguished match, and threw it viciously into the sky.

In the dark night sky, a firework suddenly exploded.

……

When the person growing out of the crack completely emerged from the kidnapper's body, the kidnapper had become a skeleton with taut human skin, without any blood or internal organs, like a mummy that had been dried for several years.

Footsteps could be heard faintly in the distance, and the flesh and blood puppet that had been given a fixed order was expressionless, while Alia, who was acting as a bait, quickly closed her eyes, fell to the ground and continued to pretend to be dizzy.The flesh puppet bent down and took out the wallet and watch from the kidnapper's mummified body. Suddenly, a whip was drawn in the air, and it hit the flesh puppet's wrist fiercely, cutting off his hand at the wrist!

bang bang bang!Bullets fired continuously, three bullets shot into the flesh puppet's eyes and between the eyebrows at precise angles, instantly destroying his (non-existent) brain, the powerful impact knocked his skull away, red blood and muscle tissue Splashed a few meters away behind him.

"No wonder he dared to hinder us. He turned out to be a Extraordinary."

The revolver in Katie's hand gave off curls of smoke, and the soft whip in the other hand dripped blood drop by drop.There was a cruel smile on her scarred face: "Die here."

The flesh puppet was hit by the recoil in a backward posture that humans couldn't maintain balance at all, but it didn't fall down, but slowly stood up straight again.He turned his face to Katie, the skull was shattered, and where the eyes should have been, there was only a mass of blood and flesh, with two bullets embedded in them, and the reflection of the brass made them look like real eyes.Even Katie, who is ruthless and loves to torment her opponents, couldn't help but feel a chill.

"wrong!"

I thought this was a mid-low sequence Extraordinary who was good at flesh magic or controlling corpses, but Katie's spiritual intuition suddenly sent a signal of vigilance and panic!She immediately emptied the magazine on the flesh puppet, beat him into a puddle of bones and rotten flesh that could not stand up, and imprisoned him with extraordinary ability.At this time, the minions she brought finally arrived at the scene, and seven or eight people stood scattered outside the alley, each of them covering their faces tightly, like a wall that even light could not penetrate.

Katie did not suspect him, and immediately ordered: "You guys stay here and watch, I will go back and report to Mr. Heras..."

"Hee hee hee."

"Hee hee hee."

"Ha ha ha ha ha."

Before she finished speaking, these seven or eight subordinates suddenly let out strange laughter.Katie was terrified. She jumped back and loaded six bullets at an extreme speed that even soldiers could hardly achieve. Attached to it with force, the brass-colored bullet precisely pierced through the heads of four people, blasting a big hole in their heads.

The four fell down, and then fused together.

The other three also smiled strangely while merging together.

Then, the flesh and blood surged upwards and turned into a human form.

Mr. A walked out of the filthy pool of blood, and looked at Katie, who was facing an enemy, with crazy and sinister eyes: "Let me redeem your sins."

"The great sin of kidnapping the Lamb of our Lord can only be forgiven by death."

Alia sent the old clothes to the people who had just resettled yesterday. There were 9 people crowded in the warehouse. It is said that there were originally more than a dozen people, but some people ran away during the night, including an old woman.

The old lady seemed to be a devout goddess believer, and everyone was discussing whether to move away immediately, lest she report this place to the priests and adults in the Evernight Goddess Church.

But these things are under the control of the Aurora Society. When the time comes to transfer the people away, the sheets, bedding and clothes will be burned, and the people around will be able to deal with it if they come to testify.The flow of people in the East District is scary every day. Unless tens of millions of people are suddenly lost, or it involves a large-scale spread of cults or protests, otherwise the church will just register and don't take it too seriously, let alone Said to track down the whereabouts of refugees.

She looked at her precious pocket watch, it was already past ten o'clock, and the red moon was hanging high.This pocket watch was a gift from Dean Norma to congratulate her on her admission to university. It was plated with silver, inlaid with a circle of gold wire, and engraved with her name. It was one of the few things that truly belonged to her.

"Ah, Miss Maria!" Seeing the person in charge who was talking to the blue-haired uncle, Alia happily went up to say hello, "I met the kidnapper and successfully completed the task!"

"But no one else seems to have been kidnapped, only me...Mr. Ernst said that I am too thin, is it true?"

"Did you run into the kidnapper? Were you injured?"

Maria suddenly became nervous, strode up to Alia, checked up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're fine. You're really too thin. You must eat more during the years in college."

"The school canteen is delicious, but too expensive."

Alia, who came to the work-study program for a week, stuck out her tongue: "The bacon sandwich is delicious, and it would be even better with some cream."

"Okay, you have successfully completed the task, and I will reward you with a small pot of cream." Maria also showed a slight smile, "Mr. A hasn't come back yet?"

"Mr. A killed the kidnapper, and the Extraordinary who was attracted ran away when he saw him. He chased after him, and I took the opportunity to run back."

Alia handed a large bag of old clothes to the blue-haired uncle, helping him distribute simple and plain coats and shirts, and happily got a can of her favorite whipped cream, which she decided to bring to the school dormitory tomorrow Eat slowly on toast.Well, I have to write a letter to Dean Norma this week, telling her that I saw Ademithor in Backlund. Ademithor is very smart now, he is already a normal person, and he can learn to read and write at a very fast speed. Very fast, you can go to a normal school to study!
"You can sleep with me tonight. It's too late now. Get up early and go to school tomorrow. I can treat you to breakfast."

After speaking, Maria's spirituality moved slightly.She looked at the shadow on the wall outside the door, and slowly frowned: "Mr. A?"

"it's me."

A woman's voice answered her.

Maria saw a tall, ferocious looking woman with a revolver and a soft whip hanging from her waist. She looked like a mercenary, but her demeanor was a bit solemn, which was very strange.

"This is Kapin's subordinate?" Maria felt it with her heart, and then frowned deeply, "A "judge" in the middle and low ranks... is the same as my worst expectation, but the judge is not Is it the orthodox way of the police and the military? Why would they work for a human trafficker like Capin? Could it be a bounty hunter or a mercenary? ... Or is it that Capin’s current power and business have grown so large that the military has taken refuge in him?”

"That's not my business."

The woman's expression was fierce, but her eyes were dull. Mr. A's voice came from her chest and abdomen: "As soon as I leave her body, she will die immediately. I will go back to Capin tonight and put the complete Give you the route map, I will stay there for a day, you can help me according to the situation."

"it is good."

Maria breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her consent, Mr. A controlled the woman's body and went back the same way, taking the corpse and the traces of the battle to Capin's mansion.

On Thursday morning, Klein came to the cheap coffee shop in the East District as agreed.The old Kohler, who was still wearing the thick jacket before, was sitting in the corner, pairing a piece of black bread with tea that could barely taste the tea.

Klein came across from him, took out the things he had prepared a long time ago, and pushed them to the other party.It consisted of two 5 soli notes, four 1 soli notes, and a handful of copper pennies for added effect.

Old Kohler stared straight at them, and after a while, he stretched out his right hand and took it tremblingly.

He looked at it repeatedly, raised his hand and wiped his eyes, and smiled and said: "At the pier, we carry heavy goods, step on the cold and dirty water to do some troublesome cleaning, and it only takes about 1 soli a day..."

And here is a full 15 soli!

Klein listened silently, and said after a few seconds: "What have you heard recently? What have you noticed?"

Old Kohler's expression changed a little, and he was a little uneasy. He put away the funds, took another sip of tea, pinched the corners of his eyes and said, "I know a lot of dock workers, and I re-established contact with friends I knew when I was wandering. They have Some have entered the factory, and some are still going back and forth between the workhouse and the corner of the park, heh, just like I used to...

"Uh, what's more, I heard that there have been cult activities secretly in the Eastern District recently, but the scale is not large, and it's just heard..."

Old Kohler was a little vague, with the guilt of lying to Mr. Reporter.

This... Backlund's well-known cult is nothing more than the Aurora Society?Could it be that after what happened to Lanwusi, they began to pay attention to the poor people in the East End, Docklands, and East End, hoping to use them to achieve certain goals?I don't know if the three major churches have noticed this phenomenon...it should be...isn't Miss Maria the boss here?She is so righteous and excellent, why did she let the Aurora Society preach in the Eastern District?It seems that her subordinates may not be like this, maybe in the foundation... Klein sandwiched the butter between two slices of toast, and took a bite without knowing the taste.

Old Kohler babbled for a while and then said: "Mr. Detective, according to your instructions, I have paid attention to the matter of the female textile workers. In the end, with the joining of the police, their struggle failed, but, hehe, the leading people became factory supervisors, and a third lost their jobs.

"Some of them are actively looking for new jobs, some have become street girls, and some don't know where they went. It's a mess now."

If "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Chillingus was in this situation when he came to Backlund, then he would quietly kill one or two people in the Eastern District every day, and no one would notice... Klein sighed in his heart.

Old Kohler continued to talk about some daily experiences and said, "By the way, Liv's youngest daughter disappeared last night."

"Liv?" Klein had never heard of this name.

Then the old Kohler suddenly said: "It's the laundry lady who you and the reporter saw last time who was arguing with others. She has been taking her eldest daughter and younger daughter to do the washing work at home, but yesterday, her two daughters delivered clothes. On the way back, one got lost, the younger one, what a pity, she has been a widow for many years, and she has been counting on her two daughters, but in the end...hey, the police in the East District will definitely not look for it too hard. "

Unlucky people often have greater misfortune, because they do not have the ability to resist risks and change their environment... Such a sentence suddenly flashed in Klein's mind.

He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Take me to see them. I'm a detective. Maybe I can help them find someone."

"...They have no money." Old Kohler reminded.

Klein picked up his hat and cane and said:
"I also do volunteer work occasionally."

Old Kohler was stunned. He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly released his right hand that was clenched tightly on the coin, took out 15 soli from the 13 soli, and handed it to Klein.In Klein's surprised eyes, he said almost sadly: "I know this is ridiculous, but you are a kind and good person, and it is already a great blessing if you are willing to help us. Even if you want to do volunteer work, Liv As long as the wife has a little money, she will not agree. I, I will return the money to you, as if I paid for Liv to ask you to find her little daughter. "

"Two soli, as long as it is two soli, my daughter and I can eat. Mr. Detective, please accept it, please."

--------

By the way, Admisol doesn't seem to have a surname, he's just a Tingen-limited tool man who doesn't need more settings.

Looking back at the plot requires a whole one.

By the way, there is one thing that must be said:
Did the Aurora Society suddenly become a good person, nor did they change their ways? In essence, they are still lambs who only listen to the truth. When the truth is crazy, they will follow the madness, kill and set fire. If the truth wants to improve themselves, they will immediately follow suit. It's not pious enough to be a good person and a good thing, if it can't be seamlessly connected.

It's not that they have awakened their conscience, it's just that the Lord told them to do so.
