Chapter Eighty-Four: The Grumpy Knights of Judgment
Thirty-nine forts. Third floor.
After his former comrade-in-arms died due to the three-headed dog of hell, Jiang Ming never chose to recruit new hunters.
Nowadays, the hunter's profession is becoming more and more difficult. Because of the existence of the Judge Knight, many hunters gave up continuing to be hunters and chose to join the Judge Knight.
There are not many such hunters, but they are not particularly few. Most of them have not participated in the Battle of the Yopera Plain, that is, they have never been in contact with Song Que.
On the one hand, Jiang Ming is remembering his old friends, and on the other hand, he really can't find a few temperamental people among the newcomers.
He is more traditional and orderly.
After all, the appearance of the Judge Knights has only been a few months, while the human hunter squad tradition has lasted for hundreds of years. So Jiang Ming still didn't have the heart to be a knight of judgment, he couldn't believe it.
This kind of belief is just a simple belief, and it has nothing to do with Song Que. Regarding Song Que, Jiang Ming didn't want to comment too much, especially since Song Que and Tang Xian were very close.
He admits that he has no friendship with Tang Xian, but the initial promotion and the various things they studied together back then, now in retrospect, Tang Xian at least taught himself a truth - before making a conclusion about anything, there must be enough evidence.
For various considerations, Jiang Ming is now a lone ranger. His natural ability is not strong, but fortunately, he is also a position within the system, so it is not a problem to support himself.
These days, Jiang Ming and his wife Yang Xiaoru live together in his wife's mother's house, his parents have long passed away, and this kind of thing is spent in his mother's house during the New Year.
In my mother's family, there is a brother-in-law who became a knight of judgment two months ago and is now responsible for guarding the family.
Jiang Ming is very uneasy these days because this brother-in-law is very strange.
Three days ago, Jiang Ming and the Judgment Knight walked side by side, and the Judgment Knight was standing guard routinely. Jiang Ming came to his side and said in a sense of contact:
"Do you smoke or not?"
The Knight of Judgment did not speak.
"What's going on? Don't remember me? Jiang Ming saw that the other party didn't react, so he said again.
But the Knight of Judgment did not speak, still standing like a statue.
Patting its bronze shell, Jiang Ming said:
"Can you take it off? Although it is a technology left by God, you will have to marry a wife in the future, right? You can't wear this to the cave room, can you? Jiang Ming thought that maybe he was too serious on weekdays, so he changed his joked rhetoric.
But the other party still didn't react.
Jiang Ming was stunned for a while, shook his head, and said in his heart that he didn't invite this brother-in-law to see him?
Unbeknownst to him, the emotional control of the Knight of Judgment was in the hands of Konstantin, and now Konstantin had shared this authority with Li Wanye on the pretext of saving management time.
Most of the time, these Knights of Judgment are emotionless machines.
Their consciousness is trapped in the kingdom of God.
Jiang Ming felt bored, so he went back and said a few words to his mother-in-law, asking if this brother-in-law had always been like this, or if he had done anything that his brother-in-law was unhappy about. The mother-in-law explained that this was a rule in the army, and that the brother-in-law almost did not speak until a certain time.
Jiang Ming frowned, he was mixed with this system, which family has such a fucked rule in the army, and he has to take a New Year's vacation, and he is not allowed to speak during the day?
There is a kind of weirdness here that Jiang Ming can't say.
He is a very shaft person, and once he feels that something is wrong, he has to find out everything.
So Jiang Ming talked to his brother-in-law during the day for the next few days, but he didn't see his brother-in-law take care of him.
At some point in the afternoon, between four and five o'clock, the Knight of Judgment spoke, in a voice that was unpleasantly mechanical, with no emotional ups and downs, and simply greeted the family.
Jiang Ming greeted it, but it still didn't pay much attention, but occasionally replied.
It wasn't until after five o'clock that the Judgment Knight once again entered the "guard" state, and no matter what Jiang Ming called, it didn't care.
Jiang Ming could feel that in that "active" hour, this big man like a machine was indeed conscious and thinking. But for some reason, he always felt that his brother-in-law, who had been honorably dedicated to the Knight of Judgment, had no affection for this family.
And the rest of the time, Jiang Ming felt that this was simply a machine. There is not a breath of life.
He was taken aback by the idea of his own.
That night, Jiang Ming tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
This brother-in-law has no relationship with him, but in the final analysis, he is from his own daughter-in-law's family, and his wife cares about him very much, and has talked about it many times.
said that this child is very filial and very good to his family. Especially for himself, whenever he was bullied when he was a child, his younger brother would try his best to get justice for himself.
Sometimes she even feels that her brother is like a patron saint of herself, and she can't tolerate her sister being wronged.
Jiang Ming's feeling is not like this.
Since the Judgment Knight spoke, people have basically eliminated the perception of the Judgment Knight, and these warriors in bronze armor are usually silent, and it is difficult to make people suspicious, after all, the Judgment Knight itself gives people a sense of quiet security.
And whenever it was time for the Knights of Judgment to be active, they could indeed call the names of relatives and friends, and indeed talk about the memories of the past, even some extremely private memories, so people did not doubt it.
It's just that Jiang Ming still feels that something is wrong.
After all, he fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up, it was almost noon.
"You're awake. Brother-in-law. Jiang Ming was stunned.
The ugly electronic synthesis sound is obviously his brother-in-law.
This greeting made Jiang Ming wonder, isn't it time to come?
"You're — you spoke earlier today."
"I want to go back to the kingdom of God...... No, I'll be with you. ”
Jiang Ming frowned slightly, how could this brother-in-law with bronze armor speak so unfavorably?
Where is the kingdom of God?
Is this a slip of the tongue?
Jiang Ming didn't know one thing.
Twenty-four hours a day, twenty-three hours a day, these Judgment Knights live in the wonderful kingdom of God.
And that one hour of time, returning to reality will make these "souls" who once longed for beauty and found it beautiful in the kingdom of God feel a great contrast.
If dreams are longer than reality, then which is more suitable for reality, dreams or reality?
What was once a reality of only one hour is now a reality of all.
Judge Knight Z950512, that is, Jiang Ming's brother-in-law, married his sister in the kingdom of God. In that place, he lived happily with his wife, who could be described as a "childhood sweetheart", every day.
And what about reality? The reality is brutal. The sister who guarded her since she was a child actually married someone else.
Fortunately, reality is false, and everything in the kingdom of God is true.
The world of consciousness is mostly in the kingdom of God, and only that hour is in this false reality.
Just wait until everyone believes in the Judgment Knight, and then you can leave. After the end of the New Year, my consciousness can live happily with my sister in the kingdom of God every day.
That's the real world!
But today, it suddenly realized that everything had changed.
Is the time ahead of schedule?
Obviously he should have been in the kingdom of God, but he returned to this false reality ahead of time - watching his sister cover this unpleasant brother-in-law in the morning, and hearing his sister's joy and pride when talking about another man.
"Go back, let me go back, let me go back!"
It kept reading these words in its heart, thinking that it must be God's negligence, or maybe it must be God's special arrangement?
Maybe it's just that the time to travel to this not-so-beautiful dream has changed?
It thought so, and a noon passed. Then when Jiang Ming woke up, he heard the words that accidentally came out of his mouth - I want to go back to the kingdom of God.
That is the truest place in the heart of this knight of judgment.
Not everyone has the perseverance of Konstantin and Tang Xian, who can distinguish between reality and dreams.
Even if some people can tell at first, they don't want to wake up again when the dream is too good.
This kind of resistance to reality will continue to amplify to the point of self-suggestion, forming a kind of reversal of reality and dreams.
……
……
The doubts in Jiang Ming's heart became heavier and heavier.
For the next few days, the strange rule of "not talking" seemed to never exist, but anyone who was a sister asked a younger brother, and whoever was a younger brother would answer.
And when I asked this brother-in-law, I got a cold look.
Although the expression of the Judge Knight was frozen, Jiang Ming could feel this undisguised hostility. Not only did I feel it, but my wife also felt it.
Yang Xiaoru sometimes says to her younger brother, be kind to your brother-in-law or something.
But in exchange for the same cold answer.
So in the past few days, Jiang Ming found that his wife was very sad. Probably because the relationship between sister and brother suddenly dropped to the freezing point.
And Jiang Ming also found that his brother-in-law's temper seemed to be getting more and more irritable.
"When will this damn dream end? Let me go back to the kingdom of God, that is the real world. Jiang Ming heard this sentence twice.
When he heard it for the first time, Jiang Ming thought that his brother-in-law had some kind of confusion, and when he heard it for the second time, Jiang Ming was convinced that all this was not a slip of the tongue and confusion.
But in the brother-in-law's cognition, there is indeed a place called the Kingdom of God.
Jiang Ming didn't tell his wife about these things.
Instead, I opened the Internet, entered the forum, and began to consult some information.
There are a total of 280,000 search terms for the keyword Kingdom of God! But the entries that have appeared recently are basically related to the Judgment Knights, and some of the posts in the forums shocked Jiang Ming.
"I don't know why, my husband talks more these days than before."
"My son too, who used to join the Knight of Judgment and was silent, but he talked a lot these days, but-"
"Lots of words? Probably, but I feel like he's so grumpy, my best friend, who became a Knight of Judgment three months ago, and I went to war with him, but now he feels like he's annoying me. ”
"Do you know the kingdom of God? My brother has been thinking about returning to God these days. ”
"Shocked, I heard it too, I thought I heard it wrong, but it is true that my children are also talking about the kingdom of God."
"What is the kingdom of God?"
What is the kingdom of God?
Where is the kingdom of God?
Both of these questions have arisen almost after a series of recent anomalous discussions about the Knights of Judgment.
Jiang Ming was finally convinced that it was not his brother-in-law who was abnormal, but all the trial knights, who had fallen into an abnormal state.
Jiang Ming calmed down and began to think about what to do.
"If there is any kingdom of God, then if you want to know where the kingdom of God is, you can only ask people who have been to the kingdom of God."
Another day passed, and for the first time, Jiang Ming found that his wife was crying, the reason was that he had been very harmonious since he was a child, and even his younger brother, who was too harmonious, yelled at her today.
The New Year has not yet arrived, but the atmosphere of the family has become very strange.
Jiang Ming could feel that the Kingdom of God was to these people what drugs were to addicts.
They're starting to get more and more cranky.
Some family conflicts on the forum are also the same as their own side, and they have begun to escalate slowly.
"How long will you be trapped in this nightmare? When will I wake up? When he saw his brother-in-law, Jiang Ming heard such a sentence,
Instead of hiding his curiosity, he asked:
"Where are you talking about the kingdom of God? As far as I know, this place doesn't exist, and you haven't left the Thirty-Nine Fortresses, could it be a dream? ”
What Jiang Ming didn't expect was that such a sentence seemed to stimulate his brother-in-law.
It was furious:
"You are a fictitious, false being, and you dare to say that the kingdom of God is fake?"
At that moment, Jiang Ming even felt that in the eyes of his brother-in-law, some kind of death ray that terrified all beasts would be spewed.
His breath became rapid, and a flash of fear flashed in his eyes.
It wasn't until a long time later that the trial knight on the other side, who was extremely strange to Jiang Ming, finally calmed down, and it still said in a cold tone without any emotion:
"The kingdom of God does not allow you to slander such a fictitious thing, you and everything now are just God's test for me."
With that, the Knight of Judgment departed. I don't know where it went.
Jiang Ming's heart was in turmoil, and an unprecedented sense of fear struck.
If it was just his brother-in-law doing this, he wouldn't feel anything.
But now, in more than two hundred fortresses, all the Knights of Judgment who come into contact with people and operate in the civilian level are all like this.
This is a big problem in the world.
There are more and more searches for the kingdom of God.
Jiang Ming has always kept all this down, but he also knows that it may not be long before there will be reports from all over the world.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of Tang Xian and Song Que.
These two men were the first to criticize the Judgment Knights, and perhaps they only knew the true secret of the Judgment Knights.
If you think about it, didn't the previous Knights of Judgment always have no emotions?
What the hell is all this going on?
Could it be that their emotions, or their minds, their souls, have been imprisoned in that place called the Kingdom of God?
Jiang Ming's hand trembled uncontrollably.
Looking at the huge ceiling above his head, and thinking about the increasingly irascible temperament of the Knights of Judgment, he suddenly sensed that an unprecedented upheaval was about to strike.
