"Roberts, there's one thing I want to ask you...... Have you ever wondered ......"

At the window of the flying saucer, Wendy, who suddenly called Roberts, was silent for a moment, she turned her back to Roberts and said with some hesitation. Looking at the blue planet below her, her eyes flickered a little, and there was a certain brilliance in her bright eyes.

This fashionable girl, who is thirty years old but still single, seems to have lost the role of time in her body, and her appearance is as good as her early twenties.

She turned her back to Roberts behind her, revealing only half of her side face, the deep space and the blue planet under her seemed to be inferior to the beauty of the half side face.

Roberts knew exactly what she wanted, but he knew that he couldn't give her any promises, but even if he wanted to refuse, she would definitely change the topic quietly before she refused, so as not to let herself refuse, and then continue to look forward to the day when she would agree.

"Wendy, I'm ......"

He opened his mouth to speak, according to past experience, whenever he wanted to decisively refuse, a cheerful voice would inevitably sound and deliberately divert the topic, not giving himself a chance to refuse.

But......

No.

Right in front of him, the slender figure with his back to himself did not speak again this time, but quietly waited for his answer.

But Roberts's keen insight could see that the hands clenched with his back to his figure, the fingers were clenched so tightly that they almost made white marks...... She was so nervous that she even had to turn her back to Roberts to barely keep her composure.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the unattainable kaolin flower, the highly sought-after sexy queen, in front of Roberts, she was like the little girl who was only 8 years old, with her head down, just clenching her hands, and she didn't dare to speak.

Roberts was silent for a moment, but said anyway.

"Wendy, I'm sorry, I've only loved Betty in my life, and you've always been like a sister to me. ”

After so many years, Roberts finally said this sentence, as if a big rock had fallen in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but then came a worry about Wendy, who he didn't want to hurt Wendy, who he regarded as his sister.

But unexpectedly, Wendy just lowered her head, didn't show any sadness, just bit her lower lip, as if she had expected all this, and then just muttered.

"That'...... Have you ever had a crush on me...... Even if it's just occasionally...... Even if it's just a little bit ......"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and saw her hands, the slender ten fingers crossed unconsciously, and the voice asked with a little unconfidence. The rejection of more than ten years has made her lose confidence, in fact, she has already accepted this reality, but there is still a trace of unwillingness in her heart.

It's just a little bit, she doesn't want to fight with Sister Betty for anything, but it's really just a little bit......

With his back to Roberts, but behind him ......

There was no response.

The heart sank into darkness little by little, gradually despairing.

And looking at the inexplicably sad figure, Roberts couldn't bear it, he knew that the best way at this moment was to flatly deny it, but he couldn't deceive himself and Wendy, after a long time, he nodded.

“...... There were. ”

In an instant, the slender figure in front of her seemed to freeze, and Roberts couldn't see her face clearly, but he could feel that she was experiencing a drastic change in mood at the moment.

Suddenly, a little bit of glittering crystal object appeared in front of Roberts, and that little bit of crystal crystal was as transparent as glass, like a pearl floating in this flying saucer with only a few gravity, and the source of that crystal was ......

"Wendy, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Roberts stopped.

In front of him, Wendy turned her head, in front of the blue planet behind her, but there was a little tear in her eyes on her happy face, and the tears did not fall, but lingered nostalgically beside the bright eyes, which were filled with unprecedented joy.

"I'm happy, Roberts, I'm really happy. ”

Her voice was a little choked, and there were tears in her eyes, but there was only joy and joy on her face.

O human beings, such marvelous creatures, have a smile on their faces when they are furious, but often tears on their faces when they are truly happy.

"Roberts, I'm so happy, I keep telling myself in my heart that I should laugh and not cry in front of you, but I don't know why, my eyes don't listen to me, and I can't help but want to cry...... Roberts, I'm pretty useless. ”

"Wendy, I'm ......"

Just as he was about to say something, the soft body hugged him, his lips were gently blocked, he subconsciously wanted to push away, but suddenly found that his body was soft and weak, and the soft feeling came from his lips.

"Wendy, you ......"

But before he finished speaking, only a greasy female voice sounded in his ears.

"It's okay...... Don't feel guilty, it's all my fault, you're not at fault...... You just think it's a dream...... Roberts, you're the only one I've ever loved......"

In this space saucer specially designed for the invasion of Earth, it has an extremely large space, which can accommodate more than a dozen Atlanteans, not to mention humans who are not as tall as Atlanteans, and no one is aware of what happened in this small compartment.

During that time, Roberts woke up like a dream, as if embraced by the gentle clouds, and rarely relaxed, except to dimly hear a voice muttering something......

"I'm sorry, Sister Betty...... I'm sorry, Roberts...... I'm so happy, Roberts ......"

"Goodbye, Roberts. ”

......

Inside an underground church somewhere in London, England.

The original cross logo has long been removed, replaced by a large number of sculptures and ornaments on the theme of snakes, and the church is full of undisguised worship and fanatical belief in snakes, and is full of pagan beliefs that are different from the world.

Since the events of that night, all the monastic monks who did not believe in the father of the serpent have been cleared, and the remaining ones are the old monks who insist on believing in "the serpent and the truth", and they continue to take over the various small forces under the monastic order, while eliminating the possible remnants of the old forces.

And all this happened under the gaze of the serpent sculpture in Nasenlen......

At the foot of the serpent sculpture, many old monks were prostrate and muttering prayers, and the former servants of God and the monastic order had completely become believers at the foot of the serpent. As Uberto said, both Uberto himself and the monastic himself are too close to the truth.

It is not man who is chasing knowledge, but knowledge is chasing man, and its chase is ruthless, like an eagle falcon in the air chasing a rabbit on the ground.

At this moment, the monastic order has been overtaken by the once dusty knowledge that has been reborn through the mortal body, just as many vultures gather on the corpse, gnawing at the flesh of the corpse with their hooks and claws, and the form of greed is like a gluttonous feast.

In the past, the monastics rejected many supernatural powers, treating them as "defects in the creation of the world, things that should not exist." Every old monk is just an ordinary mortal, ruling many small forces according to the rules of human beings, but now these old monks are covered with snake scales and the characteristics of wild beasts, and they do not hide their own miracles.

"The Son of God, who has been burdened with his fate, has returned to Earth, and soon, our Lord will awaken from that ancient slumber. ”

The old monk at the head spread his scaly arms and raised his head, celebrating the progress of his fate step by step.

The many old monks behind him were equally delighted, and they opened their mouths wide to reveal their mouths full of sharp teeth, and then they all bent down to the serpent sculpture in front of them, and sang in a low, disgusting, strange voice.

“C-GNAIIH-OG! PH'NILGH'RI-N'GHFT-OR! SYHA'H-FHTAGN-THROD，H'NYTH-STELL'BSNA-OOBOSHU! YA-YAR-HAI-THARANAK!”

Our Father, the power that surpasses all darkness, the near-eternal slumber is coming to an end, and your servants are looking forward to your coming, and our time is coming......

The chanting shook the entire underground church, making the ancient church buzz.

......

At the same time, in the air, inside the flying saucer was a different scene.

"Bang!"

With a furious fist, Uberto's head was slammed, and the thin young man was directly knocked out, only to hear a pop, the young man's body hit the instrument, and the oozing blood gushed out.

The embarrassed young man barely held on to the metal floor, and before he could stand up, he was dizzy, and then a large thick hand grabbed the collar, and the clenched furious fist quickly enlarged in front of him, spreading into a huge shadow......

"Bang!"

It was a similar feeling again, the huge force hit the bones of the face, causing the bones to let out a mournful sound, and the head hit the metal floor directly, accompanied by the severe pain was the dizzy world, the saliva in the mouth was irrepressibly born, and everything in front of me seemed to be dark, almost impossible to see.

"Daddy...... Don't fight anymore!"

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Falling to the ground weakly, a young girl's panicked voice sounded faintly in front of the chaotic eyes.

For some reason, the fist didn't fall on him again, coughed a few times, and spat out the blood in his throat, Uberto tried to open his eyes, and his eyes were blood-red, but he could still see Roberts, who was full of anger and was blocked by his daughter.

"Joan, get out of the way, this guy actually pushed Wendy into the sea...... He killed Wendy ......"

Angry and desperate voices amidst Joan's desperate attempts to dissuade her.

"Ahem...... Hehe, if we don't kill her, we should have died just now. ”

However, Uberto, who was lying on the ground with severe pain and multiple wounds, glanced at Roberts, struggled to prop up his body, and said shakyly.

"Roberts, use your brain to think about it, that woman must have some signs long ago, even if she is tight-lipped about you, she will reveal something. ”

"What signs?"

Roberts, who was already extremely angry, reluctantly suppressed his anger with reason, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

In front of him, Uberto, who struggled to even stand up, glanced at him.

"Roberts, the whole Retreat is crazy, everyone is crazy, they have too deep access to the truth, but why do you think that Wendy, who is the guardian of the Retreat, has no effect?"

"I told don't trust Wendy too much, because even if she doesn't want to hurt us, she's a ticking time bomb that could change one day. Wendy has been infected, she is transforming step by step, she has long known this, so she has already told me and Joan. ”

"Now on this flying saucer, apart from you, neither I nor Joan know about it! Roberts, Wendy is the only one who hides it from you, she doesn't want you to know about it. If I hadn't pushed her into the sea in time just now, it would be you and me who would have died by now!"

The sudden sound made Roberts dazed, his steps became a little sluggish, Joan hurriedly hugged his father, but Roberts was unaware, just looked at Joan, and muttered blankly.

Joan...... Is this true? ”

Joan didn't speak, just lowered her head silently, but this was actually equivalent to acquiescence.

If Uberto is just saying this, Roberts can think that this guy is talking nonsense, but if even his own daughter says the same, Roberts can't help but believe it.

Holding back the pain, Uberto barely breathed for breath before speaking earnestly to Roberts.

"Roberts, think about it, I haven't hurt you in the past few months of our cooperation, and I've been helping you all along. ”

"I don't want to push Wendy into the sea, originally we planned to wait until then to tell you, she still has a while before she really changes, but not long ago I don't know why, maybe she was stimulated by some kind of sudden increase, maybe even she didn't notice it, I had to do it......"

Roberts didn't listen to all of this at the moment, but he only noticed this sentence.

“...... I don't know why, maybe it was some kind of stimulation, and the speed of her mutation suddenly accelerated......"

"Goodbye, Roberts. ”

In a trance, the hazy female voice sounded in his ears again, and he vaguely guessed the reason in his heart, and his heart was blank.

After a moment of silence, Roberts said in a hoarse voice.

"What do you mean by mutation? ”

Uberto gasped slightly, then replied.

"Serpentine. The body gradually takes on the characteristics of a snake, with scales, sharp teeth, deformed bones, and finally a snake's tail, which looks like a snake that walks upright like a human. ”

"That sculpture of a woman that we took from the moon has something inside it that is the root of all this. It seals some supernatural secrets, and the more you try to pursue those secrets, the more you will gradually be eroded by those 'secrets', and finally 'snaked'. ”

"You should still find some runes on that statue, those are ancient mages trying to seal this statue with the help of the power of the gods, the symbols of the gods in various religions are on that statue, but the effect is ...... Hehe, you saw it too. ”

Roberts turned to look at him and said with a blank face.

"I watched Wendy grow up when she was 8 years old, and I knew everything about her, how the hell did she become a monastic guardian? ”

"Have you ever thought about it...... She was actually a hermitage guardian before she was 8 years old?"

Uberto stared at Roberts coldly and said word by word.

"She's been hiding her secrets from you, and she's more than you know. ”

"What exactly is a hermit guardian?"

Roberts looked at Uberto with a cold expression, his face was emotionless, but those who knew him well knew that the more he showed extreme cold and composure, the more it proved that the anger in his heart was close to the limit.

“...... A secret you can't know yet. ”

Uberto was silent for a moment, but said anyway.

Roberts' fists clenched, his forehead bruised, and suddenly he stepped forward, grabbed Uberto's collar with one hand, and forced him against the metal wall.

"Bang!"

Uberto was slammed against the metal wall, his feet dangling in the air, and his body could not exert any strength.

In front of him, Roberts's pupils faintly sprouted flames, one of the few supernatural powers within him, and when he was angry, the flames would manifest in his pupils.

"Secrets, secrets, Wendy is dead, and you're still talking to me about secrets???"

The hair that spreads makes Roberts look like an angry lion, and Uberto feels threatened with death.

"Hiccup...... Roberts, there are some secrets that the less people know, the better...... Either it's me or Wendy...... I would never want you to know this secret, it would only put you and Joan in danger......"

Uberto was almost out of breath because of the oppression of the force, and he struggled.

Roberts was silent for a long time, his anger as if it were beginning to fade. But at this moment, suddenly, his eyes suddenly looked at Uberto's wrist, and then he was inexplicably stunned for a moment, as if he saw something incredible.

Uberto followed his gaze as well, and then he froze.

On his wrists, there are several transparent snake scales, which are not large, but they are particularly conspicuous......

Finally, this self-proclaimed Da Vinci-like genius also began to snake in his mouth.
