Volume 1 Chapter 3: The Nasty Man
When Zero woke up, the memory of what God had said quickly faded away.
Only the impression that he seems to have promised something still vaguely exists.
"......" has encountered a lot of dilemmas, even if this embarrassment is more, it can't make me have any more sorrow.
By this time, it was already evening.
Have you slept for so long?
In the process of being called by God, my sense of time seems to be seriously distorted.
I always feel like I'm missing something important this afternoon......
β...... Did the Holy See inform me of something?" Zero pondered for a few seconds before throwing it aside, "Ah, it's all about the inconsequential stuff anyway. β
With that, he walked to his home. The streets are still bustling with people, but most of them are people returning home or going to dinner with their companions.
My life will never be so colorful. Their lives are black and white, and any color infection will implicate them. Because the black and white is not thin, but so distinct.
"......" Mr. Zero returned to the front of the house, but felt that the atmosphere was a little delicate.
"How...... It doesn't feel like you've been invaded by something weird, do you?"
He opened the door, closed it, and found a sword against his throat.
Sure enough, the room was deliberately arranged by himself to be a little too dark, so that the moment you entered the door, you couldn't see anything clearly. I should ...... myself in the future Forget it, I still prefer a slightly darker environment.
"My money is all in the third filing cabinet on the left side of the attic. Mr. Zero raised his hands and said bluntly.
"What a sane attitude, Mr. Zero. A slightly hoarse voice rang in Zero's ears, and it seemed to have a hint of banter. "It's a pity that I'm not one of those stupid thieves who want to rob you, a university professor. I am a vicarator of God's will. The other party turned on the light, and a handsome and gloomy face appeared in front of Zero's eyes. "Langton's Sustainable Light...... Do you use strange things as everyday objects, Mr. Zero, you are a real dangerous person. I have always been shocked and regretted that the Holy See did not order your arrest. Thanks to the wisdom of the gods, you will finally go through my hands to the end of execution, hahahahaha. His laughter was feminine and sharp, and it was quite unpleasant.
"A face I've never seen before...... Isn't it from the Holy See?" Seeing the other party's frowning face, Zero shrugged, "Isn't that the one on the surface?" Zero relaxed, ignored the sword around his neck, walked to the kitchen, and began to prepare to make a pot of coffee. "Would you like some coffee, the 'Agent'?"
β...... Didn't you think you'd be hacked to death by me the moment you moved?"
"Nope. Since I didn't knock out and break my limbs and drag them back as soon as we met, I didn't dare to touch me directly. Besides, it's just that the invitation in the afternoon hasn't been fulfilled, so it shouldn't be that you will kill me in the evening, right?" Mr. Zero said unhurriedly, and at the same time lit up the thing that was receiving water in his hand: "The passage of the endless water source, look, I also installed a valve on it myself, it's very useful, right?"
"They are dangerous and desecrated objects that should be contained and destroyed by the Holy See. And you should be honoured that the Holy See has done a great deal of effort to get me here at onceβto prevent you from absconding. Looking at Zero's disapproving look, he continued: "Neil Charron, the deputy inquisitor of the Inquisition, has been instructed to invite Mr. Zero to the Holy See. Mr. Zero, I feel more and more that you are not only dangerous, but also annoying. β
"Yes. Zero smiled.
"Especially this disgusting smile. The presiding judge said, "I firmly believe that there is something distorted and even blasphemous in it. β
"That's right. I'm sorryβ" Zero had already made up his mind in a brief moment of thought - he kicked up the flour bag next to him, and for a moment the kitchen was filled with dust.
"Damn...... Do you still think you can escape?" After waving his arms to disperse the flour, the deputy judge found that Mr. Zero had fled to the side of the attic.
β...... God says that the unbeliever will be punished. He raised his sword, looked in the direction of Zero, and chanted in a low voice.
The moment Zero jumped up to the attic, the staircase he was on broke off.
β...... Why, the target has shifted?" and after a moment of confusion, he stepped forward again.
"Mr. Zero, there's no way you're going to get away from this...... Senses like you, you wouldn't do such boring things, would you?" Neil approached.
"If you don't give it a try...... You'll never know the answer, will you?" As the words seemed to be the answer, Zero jumped from the attic and kicked Neil in the back - of course it was impossible.
In Mr. Zero's house, the light exploded and flashed in an instant. Neil dodged Zero's attack with dexterity, and after briefly parrying with his sword, he smashed his fist into the opponent's stomach, causing the opponent to fall to his feet weakly.
"I'm a professional, Mr. Zero. If you were to be defeated so easily, I would be ashamed of God's grace. After kicking away the oddly shaped weapon in Zero's hand, he kicked him away in disgust and watched Zero tumble to the wall.
"You see, it's only a matter of seconds to make a well-dressed person so ugly. Neil put on his gloves, withdrew his blade, approached the man who was groaning in pain, and picked him up.
"Blessed be the grace of God. After whispering a few words of prayer, he dragged Zero to the door, where at this time stood an ominous but holy door of light.
β...... Mr. Charron, you're really strong enough. Is the blessing of the gods so useful......" After a sentence of admiration or mockery, Zero muttered, "Even so, there are still too many things you can't recognize......"
Then, in exchange for more brutal abuse from Neil.
