Volume 1 Chapter 33: Pride and Prejudice

"Flesh has been induced......" Mr. Zero sighed suddenly.

"Hmm, what are you talking about......" Just as Mr. Zero had not yet left, the Mechanical Pope saw such a scene:

The gap in the suitcase he always carried with him seemed to be stuffed with something, and then overflowed outward.

Droplets of dark red blood slowly converged in the pits on the ground.

"What the hell is this......

"The 'blood of the gods' before...... Ha, really, can't you just let me have a few days of easy life? Despite that, Mr. Zero did have a relaxed expression.

He waved his hand, pressed the brim of his hat, and walked off into the distance with his suitcase.

"I'll fix it. ”

I don't know who to listen to.

......

"Flesh and blood believers should be coming this way soon...... The previous vision is estimated to be visible to people all over the continent...... But I'm going to have to deal with Philo's business over there......" Mr. Zero hesitated, "Can you only trust the Mechanical......"

As he was thinking, he heard a faint thud coming from a certain direction.

"What's going on......" He tried to sense something, but found nothing.

"I'm just an ordinary person after all. After staying away, Mr. Zero's expression was not relaxed.

He had to make a choice to deal with the more important things and leave the unimportant behind.

"What if...... If we can really be like God, can we save everyone? That being said, he was not interested in the answer to the question.

So he turned around and reversed course.

“...... Is it over there? Maybe it's the 'other' child that the little girl from before. ”

A voice rang out from Mr. Zero's side.

“...... Why are you here?"

"Brother, you're too cold. I've come here to help?" the girl smiled.

Mr. Zero stopped and turned his head to look at the other party's fair skin, wearing a pure black gothic dress with some inexplicable beauty, and said, "Do you still insist on your strange outfit?"

...... And I wear an umbrella no matter what the weather. The taste is really quirky. ”

"I guess you're going too far. The girl next to her smiled maliciously: "Obviously, my brother praised me for being cute at that time?"

“...... That was when you were a kid. Mr. Zero turned his head to look ahead and continued walking.

"Ah, that's bad. Mr. Zero, are you only in heat for children of this young age? Tsk, poor Lola......" The girl continued to walk and look straight ahead, without hesitation in using harsh words in a coquettish tone.

"Stop talking nonsense. He said coldly: "What are you here for? What anomaly has Mr. Duke asked you to deal with? Don't say anything to help, as long as you don't come to my neighborhood, it will be the greatest help to me." ”

"That's why you're always so annoying, Mr. Zero. The girl seemed to be tired of the pretentious tone, such a cold response, "That's why I will always remember the brother who loved me in my childhood memories...... You monster who stole his existence and clothed him. I will hate you forever as much as I remember my brother, Zero. She called his name word by word, but with a very different affection than the one she had called her brother.

"......" Mr. Zero's expression did not move at all.

"Whew......," the girl sighed, "It's been a long time, but I'm really helping this time...... I'm dealing with that side this time. The girl pointed in the direction where there was a faint roar coming from before, "According to intelligence, it is a terrifying 'annihilation' centered on a girl. ”

“...... If it's really the content of the girl's nightmare just now, you're going to die. Mr. Zero looked at the girl again and whispered.

"yes, I know. But what about us...... Isn't that what we do? to fill in the holes that occasionally occur in people's daily tranquility with our lives. The girl spun the handle of her umbrella briskly, "We are probably no different from the soldiers who defend our homeland...... Salute to me, the one who went to the dead, monster. She simply gave up calling her name in favor of such blunt disdain. "If it had been to the extent before, I might not have been able to fight even if I died. ”

"I've done so much more than you. Mr. Zero looked at her and said, "And, that level of stuff...... It's not something you can deal with. ”

He gave his trademark gentle smile: "Don't test that thing with your immortality. It's really going to die. ”

"You care about me!" "The girl who felt that the other party's atmosphere was gradually becoming wrong gradually became unable to calm down, "Don't pretend to be the tone of that brother." Do you think I don't know? No one would really want to die if they could. But that's what I have to do. ”

"There's no such thing. If I do it, you don't have to. Mr. Zero was thinking in his heart, and sure enough, he still had to find a way to solve it all.

"I'll deal with it. I have a way. He smiled and said, "I'm a monster after all." It's always much better than you guys. ”

“...... And what about the other side of the matter you said earlier?"

It's like you've set up a trap waiting for me to say...... Mr. Zero laughed in his heart. But this kid wouldn't do that.

"I'll fix it too. ”

Not really. It's just a matter of resignation. Even I don't have the skills.

Mr. Zero instinctively spoke somewhere in his heart. But you have to do what you really have to do.

No one can really do it for themselves.

At this moment, Mr. Zero suddenly felt a shiver again.

"What the hell is going on today?" even he felt a little confused in his mind.

"Something happened again......

Then he saw a thousand paper cranes flying.

"What is this?"

The crane circled around him twice, as if to confirm something, and floated in front of his eyes as if it had unfolded itself.

“...... Darkhaven. Mr. Zero picked up the paper and hurriedly browsed through it, but only said these few words.

"What's wrong with the Darkhaven?" we just thought it was a little strange on our side, but for some reason, it always seemed impossible to probe effectively...... the girl asked.

"Why did it all happen together? He smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, when a coincidental grain of sand rolls down, the whole building will fall apart." ”

"It's like dominoes, triggering each other. It was fitting that Annott had been given this example in the first place. ”

"What the hell are you talking about? What is Domino, and who is Anotte?" said the girl, a little dazed, but also a little like a little girl who was worried that her favorite toy would be snatched away by someone else.

"Nothing. I just feel that I really can't handle all the things in the world by myself. I'm probably only capable of ordinary people. It's really hard to fantasize about being a savior hero. ”

"What are you talking about? How can one person do everything? Why don't you ask others, or organize some people to rely on their peers?" the girl looked at him with a stupid look, "And what kind of understanding do you have of 'ordinary level ability'?

"But someone else might mess it up...... You can't rely on anyone else. He shook his head.

"You haven't tried it yet, have you...... What's wrong with believing in others? Always distrusting others will eventually become a cause of your failure. The girl looked at each other with an inexplicable look.

What kind of thing do you think is that, you can experiment a few times.

If you're not careful, the world will be destroyed and reset again......

He thought so, but suddenly there was a little suddenness.

Anyway, it's just another reset of the world.

It doesn't seem impossible to experiment.

Although each reset may cause countless people to die in it and never be resurrected......

But if the "experiment" succeeds, maybe it won't save more people in the future?

"Can't life be measured in mere numbers?" Mr. Zero remembered when God looked at him as he said this.

“...... Damn it. He suddenly said something thoughtlessly, startling the girl who was watching him.

“...... Maybe you're right. I should also trust in the power of others when necessary. Mr. Zero came back to his senses and said.

"yes. So......" The smile on the girl's face flashed.

"Nothing so. You are not allowed to go. He grabbed the back of the girl's neck as she tried to move on.

It was almost like holding a black kitten, and Mr. Zero inexplicably flashed the thought.

"Why? You mean I'm absolutely untrustworthy?" the expression on the girl's face changed again.

It's like a kitten that wants to tickle and bite. You see, how easy it is.

"Trusting someone is not the same thing at all as watching someone die. Mr. Zero said with a poker face on his face again.

"I ......"

“...... Okay, can you go and help me with the other side of the matter? I trust you very much. ”

It's really like an older brother coaxing his sister.。 Mr. Zero thought so.

“...... Oh, I'm going to go because you helped me solve this matter, so I will go as a gift in return......"

"Alright, alright. Go for it. Mr. Zero rubbed the girl's head, "Please, you should ......"

......

At this point, it was already after the two were separated.

The girl seemed to wake up from her dream, and then made a disgusted expression and retched.

"Damn...... Damn!" she looked remorseful and disgusted, "and unconsciously facing that monster...... The kind of reaction that is almost flattering...... I was still being rubbed by that thing literally like an older brother............ Disgusting, disgusting......"

She looked almost crazy pulling at her pretty black hair, which was just like Mr. Zero.

When she calmed down, she patted her face, "It's not my brother...... It devoured my brother's monster...... The thing that calls himself Mr. Zero ......"

"Even my brother's name was left ......"

"Wait and see...... Someday...... Someday...... I'll let my brother come back......"

......

On the other side, Mr. Zero reflected as he approached the place of destruction.

Do you really have no trust in others?

After all, I don't believe they can do anything to slow down the end of this world......

Shouldn't this be arrogance?

I firmly believe that only I can do it, and I firmly believe that I am different or something......

"It's arrogant to think that you're always special, Mr. Zero. He remembered again the words of the unnamed god that had spoken to him.

“...... Maybe that's really going to be the reason for my failure. ”
