Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 164 People who disobey the gods

Friar dormitory area, in individual rooms.

Xin Lailai looked at the situation on the war channel and withdrew his gaze.

Tonight's war channel is obviously much more lively than the previous two days.

The war is coming, and everyone feels more or less uneasy and nervous. At this time, a few words on the War Channel is the best way to relieve stress.

Suddenly, Xin Lailai's eyes moved slightly.

"Are you back..."

Xin Lailai muttered to himself, and his soul sank into the soul space. He looked at Ling Yuzi who looked tired, gently touched his head and said:

"Just rest first and leave the rest to me."

"Um…"

Ling Yuzi nodded slightly, lay in Xin Lailai's arms, and soon fell asleep.

Xin Lailai looked at the peaceful sleeping face of the girl in his arms, smiled softly, stroked her hair, and carried her to a small bed that was woven with soul energy like cotton.

Ling Yuzi has been outside helping him prepare for the general attack for the past three days, and has hardly stopped to rest. Therefore, even with 50 points of soul strength support, the girl is already exhausted.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ling Yuzi."

After covering the girl with a quilt woven with loose soul energy, Xin Lailai exited the soul space and looked at the dark night outside the window, his eyes slightly focused.

"Om~!"

Suddenly, the communication device next to Xin Lailai's ear trembled slightly. Xin Lailai pressed the answer button. The next second, Kongmu Lianhua's voice came from the headset:
"Mr. Black Sword, are you free now?"

Xin Lailai was slightly startled when she heard Kongmu Renhua's voice, and she was keenly aware that the other person's tone was different from what she had heard before.

"Yes, is there something wrong with Mr. Kong Mu?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask Mr. Heijian out for a chat. If it disturbs Mr. Heijian's rest, forget it."

The tone was calm and a little tired, completely devoid of the usual sense of majesty.

If it weren't for the fact that only Lotus Kongmu could get through in this frequency band, Xin Lailai would have almost thought that she had recognized the wrong person.

"Is that so? Since Lord Kongmu invites you, I am naturally happy to accompany you."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Black Sword. As for the location, let's choose the roof of Friar's car."

Roof?
After hearing this, Xin Lailai opened the psychic field and saw Kongmu sitting alone on the edge of the roof of Friar's car, quietly staring at the night sky.

"I understand, please wait for a while, Mr. Kongmu."

After saying that, Xin Lailai turned off the communication and went out towards Kongmu Renhua's position.

Although he was not sure what Renka Kongmu was planning to do when he suddenly called him, the other party was the leader of the God Eaters and an important combat force against the forbidden species. Therefore, as long as the request was not too excessive, Xin Lailai would basically consider it. Second, to avoid damaging the relationship between the God Eater and Contractor camps.

……

5 minutes later, Friar is on top.

click, click...

The footsteps sounded in the empty night, drowned in the passing wind.

The howling evening wind kept hitting Xin Lailai's face, making his robes whistle.

"Mr. Black Sword is indeed a man who keeps his promises."

Kongmu Lianhua looked at Xin Lailai who was standing next to him, chuckled and said.

"I wonder what the specific purpose of Mr. Kongmu inviting me out late at night is?"

Xin Lailai looked at the dim wilderness ahead that was glowing under the moonlight, squinted his eyes slightly, and said.

"It's nothing, I just want to find someone to chat with. After much thought, it seems that only you, Black Sword, is more suitable."

Kongmu Lianhua looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, her eyes moved slightly, and she whispered:

"Black Sword, what do you think our chances of winning this war are?"

"About thirty percent."

Xin Lailai also sat down, leaning against the cold iron wall, and looked at the night sky with Kongmu Lianhua.

"Really? It's much higher than I thought. As expected, Mr. Black Sword has the confidence of a strong man just like what Gendan said."

Can TM please stop mentioning this matter?
When she thought of how she entered the world of God Eaters, Xin Lailai's eyes twitched unnaturally, but she still had a gentle smile on her face and said unhurriedly:

"Your Excellency Kongmu is overly praised. I can estimate a higher winning rate simply because the strength of Your Excellency Kongmu has increased my confidence in this war."

"Confidence... Isn't it such a subtle statement? Come to think of it, someone seems to have said such words to me in the past."

Kongmu Lianhua looked at the night sky, her golden pupils reflecting the bright moonlight and the stars that seemed to be spinning in the sky.

"Is it Alyssa?"

"Well, I didn't expect that Heijian's intuition would be as sharp in this area." "It's nothing, I just experienced it personally. A man like you would run out and look at the moon alone in the middle of the night, except thinking about women. I can’t think of any other answer.”

After a few words, Xin Lailai seemed to have completely relaxed and lay directly on the cold iron sheet, resting his head on his hands and crossing his legs.

Hearing that Xin Lailai had easily revealed his thoughts, Kongmu Lianhua was slightly stunned and fell silent.

"Do you feel bad?"

"A bit."

"This is normal. It means that you are still thinking about the other person's affairs. It means that you are still the same person now as you were then."

"Does it mean I haven't forgotten yet..."

Hearing this, Kongmu Lianhua imitated Xin Lailai's example, lay down, stretched out her hand, and shook her fingers slightly.

"Mr. Black Sword, do you want to know why we suddenly participated in this war?"

After being silent for a while, Kongmu Renhua stared at the night sky and suddenly said:
"In fact, the will of the world has not told us anything about the truth of this world at all. Even until now, we still don't know what the normal future you talk about looks like."

"Wait, what did you say?!"

Hearing Kong Mu Lianhua's answer, Xin Lailai was slightly startled, showing an expression of disbelief.

"As you heard, Mr. Black Sword, in fact, including me, Gentian... and everyone you saw in this fortress, none of us have been told by the will of the world about the so-called world. the truth."

Kongmu Lianhua said, smiled, looked at Xin Lailai, and said:
"Don't you think it's amazing? But it's actually very reasonable. If you were the Black Sword and were the will of the world, you wouldn't choose humans who regard Aragami as their mortal enemy to help you when you have already chosen Aragami, right?"

Hearing this, Xin Lailai fell silent and realized the problem.

Yes, he realized now that the "small number of humans" selected by the will of the world in the introduction to the paradise probably did not include Renka Sora in front of him and the people he saw in Friar.

As for why Kongmu Renhua, or humans, know these things...

"Is it because of Shikzar?"

Xin Lailai said a name. Hearing this, Kongmu Lianhua took a deep look at Xin Lailai and nodded.

"Yes, it's him, the head of the branch, who is responsible for everything you see now."

Johannes von Schickzall.

The villain in the original plot of God Eater was the head of the original Eastern Branch.

Because he firmly believed that it was impossible for humans to defeat the Aragami, let alone achieve communication with the Aragami, he forged the lie about the Aegis Island plan.

In the original plot, Shikzar used the power of the God Machine to collect the core of the Aragami and create the largest Aragami in history. As the singularity that triggers the terminal predator, the Nova, intends to actively trigger the [Endgame] that devours the entire surface of the earth. End of prey].

Moreover, according to the report that Xin Lailai saw, in the third-level war, the fourth-level adjudicator sent by the Aragami camp... was Xinxing.

According to the content of that report, the controller of the Nova Core at that time was Shikzar, who had become a god.

The battle of transformation, the wild god, the will of the world...

Shikzaar, human, God Eater camp...

"I see, the reason why you know these things is because..."

Xin Lailai's pupils trembled suddenly, the information in his mind connected together, and he instantly realized the truth.

"Yes, thanks to the branch chief who was regarded as a traitor to the entire human race at that time, we were able to know the truth."

Kongmu Lianhua said calmly.

"Black Sword, you should know very well that I can sense the memories of other divine machines through contact."

Xin Lailai nodded. This is the exclusive setting of Kongmu Renhua... or the protagonist of God Eater in the original work. He has the [sensing ability] that can communicate with the soul.

But this ability can only be effective on people who are unprepared, so Xin Lailai dared to come into contact with Kongmu Renhua like this.

"In fact, we were faced with various emergencies at that time and had no idea what was happening."

"It wasn't until a man wearing a black and white mask brought the branch leader's core after he turned into an Aragami to me, and asked me to use my induction ability to read the memories in the broken core, that we finally understood what had happened. whats the matter."

"We are just characters in a script, and this world is challenging beings more powerful than gods in order to resist this fate."

Kongmu Renhua said, slowly stood up, facing the howling evening wind, raised her head and stared at the night sky:

"Do you know what the last words he left in his memory were?"

A not-so-loud voice sounded in the noisy wind, but it easily suppressed the noisy wind:
"It will be up to us to decide whether to obey His will and give up mankind for the sake of this world, or to disobey His will and ruin the future of the entire world for the sake of mankind."

"And this is my choice."

As Kongmu Lianhua said, he looked at Xin Lailai, who was also standing next to him, with a frightening light flowing in his golden pupils.

"Humanity will live forever, even if it devours the gods!"
