"Huh?"

Simon and Vanessa were a little surprised, Christina seemed to be a monster at all, or the gentle big sister who used to be. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't you want to fight, I think so too."

Christina gently touched the heavenly fire next to her neck with her steel claws, feeling curious.

"Oh, yes, that's for the best."

Simon breathed a sigh of relief, while Vanessa's mood was more mixed.

What the hell are you thinking, Christina?

"In that case, can you tell us where Hinclair went?"

Simon struck while the iron was hot and began to ask.

"O President, Hinclair has a very important mission to accomplish, he wants to save the city and change this cursed land once and for all."

"Didn't Hinclair say that there is no way to purify the land?"

"It's true that it can't be purified, but it can be changed."

"Change?"

Christina pointed to Simon's near-sightedness.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Skyfire withdrew, but Simon didn't plan to get close to Christina, which was just the right distance.

"Just like us, let this land be transformed into a land of steel, and with the power of God, this kind of thing can be done."

Simon was shocked when Vanessa suddenly interjected, her voice full of anger.

"God? You have taken refuge in the evil gods?! ”

"yes, so what?"

Vanessa gritted her teeth and squeezed out unwilling words.

"You guys are crazy, God doesn't have a good thing! You are willing to become the lackeys of the evil gods! ”

In response to Vanessa's incomprehension, Christina behaved very calmly.

"Which is more important, one's own life or the survival of the world? Until now, no one has been able to understand God's intentions, but no matter what, we have to live, don't we? God may destroy the world in the next second, we can't stop it at all, God is like a hurricane, tsunami, earthquake and other natural disasters, if you can't resist, then you have to adapt. If you want to survive in this world, you don't have to rely on strength, but on the ability to adapt to this world. Survival of the fittest, nothing more. ”

"But ......"

Vanessa's eyeball-filled greatsword flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but recall the terrifying paladin that appeared in her memory. No matter what kind of god it is, it must come with malice, and what it does is not to save humanity or save the world.

God will be evil, and faith will be evil.

This is the common knowledge of the world of Essos, as long as you believe in the gods, it means embarking on a path to the endless abyss, but everyone knows this and prostrates at the feet of the gods without hesitation. To survive or to perish, man's choice is sometimes as simple as that.

Different from the beliefs of other worlds, Essos's faith is an unscrupulous means to survive, an escape from the despair of reality, a vent to the darkness of ****, a madness of forgetting pain, a distortion of a fragile mind, and a grotesque of anomalous people. The mad believers are dancing on a runaway train, scribbling graffiti in this desperate world, no one cares about the consequences of doing so, just as they don't care about their own life and death, they only act for the pleasure of their hearts, and perhaps their only common goal is to hasten the world's demise.

"Isn't he a human anymore, President?"

Vanessa's heart was shattered, and what she held onto, what she cherished, was now a memory.

"No, the president is still human."

"Why is he the only one who still maintains his human posture?"

Simon asked, confused.

"Hinclair is our leader and the future master of steel, how can it be a simple ritual. The president would sacrifice the entire city to the gods in exchange for untold power. ”

"Sacrifice? Is it even to do this kind of thing just to become strong for yourself? ”

"It can't be said that for his own sake, the President will also turn this city into a city of steel, and all the golems we have stored will be turned into crystal gold creatures, so that our strength will reach an astonishing height."

Christina's tone was filled with adoration for Sinclair.

Simon has seen the power of the golem with his own eyes, and if the giant golem is given wisdom, then I am afraid that the legendary giants will not be able to match.

"It turns out that the so-called transformation is a sacrifice, and the undead of the whole city will also perish together, good idea, what if there are other creatures left here?"

"Of course, it's a sacrifice together, except for us, who are already crystal creatures, there will be no other living creatures in the whole city."

Simon suddenly felt the urgency of the matter, and they had to stop Sincley as soon as possible, or escape from the place.

"And how far has this sacrificial ritual come to be?"

"It's going to be done before sunset today, and you won't have time to stop it."

Christina was gentle.

"Why be our enemies, we are companions, but you have not yet been converted. Simon, I invited you to join the Brotherhood of Steel, and this invitation is still valid, and if you wish, I can perform a transformation ceremony for you now. ”

The initial ritual needs to be presided over by a priest, but the follow-up only needs to be led by a crystal creature, which is why a person like Christina, who has no magical abilities at all, can preside over the ceremony.

"Come, join us in our great cause."

Apparently intending to convince Christina not to fight, but instead being invited to join the Brotherhood of Steel, Simon was amused, his will was very strong, and he would never be moved by a few words.

Looking at Vanessa's slightly worried gaze, Simon put his arm around Vanessa's shoulders.

"That's not good, as a normal man, how could he give up the beauties around him and throw himself into the arms of monsters. My taste is not so heavy, and I prefer local and original beauties to girls of different races. ”

Before Simon could give Christina a thumbs up, he was hit in the ribs by an angry Vanessa, almost catching his breath.

"You, you're obviously very reliable when fighting, why do you always drop the chain at such a time!"

"Ahem, you don't have to be so ruthless."

Simon rubbed his ribs and complained weakly.

"Hehe, interesting. Simon and Vanessa, you guys go, don't stay here. Although I don't want to fight you, I can't go against my duty, and you must not destroy this place, so don't waste any more time and get out of here. ”

Christina seems very calm and has absolute confidence in her own strength.

"That's not easy to say, if I want to destroy these facilities, I just need to let Skyfire attack, can you stop Skyfire from flying?"

"Of course you can, but I don't have to bother."

Cristina parted strands of hair in front of her and gently lifted the veil to reveal a soft face with her eyes closed.

"Christina, you keep your eyes closed all the time? You were the same when you fought me just now? ”

Vanessa exclaimed.

Can she see things even though she closes her eyes, is this her special ability?

Simon was on guard, and the Skyfire Shuttle was ready to attack.

Christina slowly opened her eyes, purple eyes shining with a strange light.

"Because it was training just now, how can I cheat?"

Cheat.

The ability to be evaluated in this way is a little more impressive at this moment.

"Can't move?"

For a split second, Simon and Vanessa were restrained in place, unable to move.

Without warning, without any signs, without flashes or buzzes, the two of them were subdued without a sound, there was no way to dodge, they didn't even find out what their abilities were, if it was a real gun, the two were corpses at this time.

"You are no match for me. Leave, Vanessa, and if you don't want to join us, leave the city, this is my last word of advice to you. Take care, Vanessa. ”

Christina closed her eyes, her face obscured again by a black veil.

Simon and Vanessa resumed their movements, and they looked at each other, both seeing each other's horror.

"Let's go, Vanessa."

Simon looked at the blood-smelling workshop, hesitated for a while, but didn't make a move. Christina's terrifying abilities are a source of fear for all enemies.

"I see. Take care, Christina, I'll be leaving, but before that I want to see Hinclair, and I'd like to hear him talk about these things in person. ”

Vanessa walked away without looking back, leaving only a lonely back.

"Wait for me, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Simon hurriedly followed, and the figures of the two disappeared into the stairs.

"Vanessa, you're not going to get the answer you want."

Christina went back to her desk and sat down, waiting for the end of the day.

That would be a new birth for the Brotherhood of Steel.

Simon and Vanessa walked all the way to the outside of the headquarters without saying a word, and looking at the depressed scene around them, Simon couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. He would rather see the tranquility of the ruins than the sound of the dark factory devouring flesh and the tingling of his scalp.

"Oops, mistaken. Christina said a lot, but didn't tell us where Sincley was in the end, how do we find him? ”

Simon patted his head, feeling very remorseful.

"Let's put this aside for now, and let's think about how to get out of here first."

"It's not easy."

Simon casts Feather Fall, a new spell he learned during the Battle of the Temple, which greatly reduces his weight and reduces his falling speed.

"You're learning things a little too fast, it's only been a long time."

Vanessa suddenly felt that her years of psionic learning had been in vain, and she bounced with Simon to the roof next to her speechlessly.

"What are those weird zombies, they look like golems."

Simon saw several zombie-like monsters not far away following a fixed route to a certain location. The zombies move quickly, and the surface is not rotting or swollen, and there are obvious signs of stitching and splicing. The most important thing is that the skin of these zombies has a metallic texture, like an iron shell, and there is an iron mask on the face, which is very familiar.

"This should be the incargo."

With a keen sense of observation, Vanessa speculated.

"I'm afraid that the transformation ritual also has a success rate, and those who fail should be the caged people we saw before, and the fate of these people is the same as the corpses of the dead, they have been made into this strange thing, and that mask is the evidence."

Simon nodded in agreement.

"In that case, the place where these steel corpses are going is likely to be related to the Brotherhood of Steel, so we might as well follow along first."

The two of them jumped forward on the roof of the building, stalking one of the inlaid steel corpses, chosen because they were familiar with the direction it was heading.

Central square, Temple of the Sun.
