BGM: Unusual state of affairs

Magpie picked up the wooden wine glass on the table and put it to his nose to sniff, then put it down with a frown.

He prefers sweet coffee to this shoddy spirit.

"Whew... ”

Let out a long breath of white air.

The temperature at night is on the low side, and the temperature difference between day and night in the kingdom of God is more than 20 degrees, and people with slightly poor physical fitness are prone to illness here.

There was a rare hint of tiredness between the magpie's eyebrows, and he glanced helplessly at the strong man who was cramped and restless opposite.

Thirty minutes have passed since Magpie met this guy, and there have been misunderstandings in the middle that are not pleasant in any sense, and it is only at this time that Magpie roughly understands the meaning of the other party's expression.

How do you say that? The truth can only be found in the midst of hardship. Well, I can't make it up.

It's a tavern.

Rough wooden building with no doors, the side facing the street has no walls and is supported only by a few fine logs.

It is brave to be able to sit under this humble shed, but these guys are just lacking in the eyes of magpies.

"In other words, this is your ancestral spirit, right?"

With two fingers, magpie held a crumpled piece of paper with a mess of graffiti, but barely able to make out the characteristics of the flames and plants.

It should be unmistakable.

"You said it before. . . Ancestral spirits existed before you were born? Does anyone know when?"

"And why do you believe in this one?"

This question is actually a bit of a cross line for a believer.

But Riel's face was still stiff and dry, and there was no reaction to it.

Predictable.

Magpie shook his head to himself.

"This... I'm sorry, Kami-sama, but I don't know. ”

This is true of Rare, or the primitive clans represented by it, not without faith, without a vision of the gods as tools.

It's just that there is no such concept, and the concept of "gods" is more inclined to respect the role of fathers and ancestors.

In short, there is no precise concept, and the belief in "ran-burning" is simply a habit that has been passed down since ancient times.

On the contrary, the civilized people living in the iron civilization were deeply aware of the concept and insurmountability of the gods, so they had fanatical beliefs. And whether this is out of profit or deep fear ... It's hard to say.

Magpie pinched his brows, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Riel with empty eyes, his tone cold.

"Speaking of which, did you come here after dying in the outside world, or were you here in the first place?"

"Wh... Riel didn't understand why Magpie was so excited, and subconsciously shrank back, as if he was about to run away at any moment.

Speaking of which, this guy has been fidgeting since they met, is there anything hidden?

"Of course we've been here since the beginning, and this land is my home. ”

Rare replied subconsciously, and then boldly asked, "God, God, what is the "outside world"?

"Whew... No. The magpie leaned back in his chair and creaked and looked up at the stars.

"So, if you die, where will you go?"

"Spirit Monument! Every clan member will return to the Spirit Monument after death! Praise the great ancestral spirit, even the unforgivable sinner has never been abandoned. ”

Riel's expression is filled with a sense of trust in "Ranran", so much so that his previous agitation dissipates.

I see...

I see! Is that what it is?

Magpie's eyes were empty, his gaze was like a dead fish, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Speaking of which...

Faith is a bondage and a harbor for one's own soul – and if this is true of paradise, then they really deserve to be celebrated.

。。 If they can't return to the spirit tablet, it will be an unimaginable thing for them.

The gods, exercising non-human authority, commanding the earth and mountains, will become ambiguous when they become entangled with the fate of mankind.

From the distant and unknowable gods to the gods, the gods and people have been constantly interpreting epics and myths, countless coincidences, stories of miracles and despair - unfortunately I have not been able to see it.

Magpie thought with regret.

So... This time it's pretty much clear.

Magpie twisted his stiff neck, making a slight creaking sound.

"Well, I'm pretty much clear, thank you for your cooperation. ”

"Uh... Yes, great unknown gods! This is my pleasure. ”

Riel doesn't understand Magpie's reaction, but still doesn't know how to pay his respect.

"Let's go?" Magpie stood up, straightened his arms upward, and stretched.

"Kami-sama, where are you going?。。 Need my company?"

Melon looked puzzled, but asked anyway.

Without him, the gods are the absolute truth here.

Ignoring his reaction, Magpie stuck his hands in his pants pockets, squinted his eyes and walked straight outside

And to be honest, there is no god in this "false kingdom" who can compare with himself...

Do whatever you want!

Walking to the door, Magpie glanced sideways at Riel and grinned, returning to his usual gentle smile.

Obviously, the question was answered, which made him sincerely happy.

"It's not where I'm going, it's where you're going. ”

"Huh?" Riel opened his mouth.

"You've been unsettled since the beginning, isn't there something urgent to deal with? ”

"Let's go, lead the way. ”

。。。。。。

The sparse tent stone houses, the simple stone streets, and the sound of footsteps can be transmitted far away.

Magpie followed Riel, walking equally down-to-earth.

Riel looks like he wants to walk or even run briskly, but he doesn't dare to do so, which makes Magpie find amused.

Looks like there's really something good to watch tonight.

As for about the clan - about the kingdom of God?

That's what I just reasoned about.

I don't even need the assistance of the Rubik's Cube, it's just an answer that I get by simply following the logical chain.

First of all, you have to understand what the meaning of this kingdom of God is - yes, it is to drop it in the space near the school park as an outpost like a bomb.

It's just the power of the projection of the kingdom of God that really works.,I don't know if it's the school district where the autumn god is.,It's likely that there are three-digit or even more school districts that have been attacked by the projection at the same time.。

Even the Shadow Storm God who appeared in the high heavens was just a pretense, and it could be easily extinguished with the resistance of the core school district - so why put the Kingdom of God in the sky when it was obviously meaningless?

The first is likely that this incident is just a corner of the game between the park and the school park.,It's just harassment.,The backyard of the school park caught fire.,This restrained a lot of experience in the school park.,And then it will affect the frontal battlefield of the two behemoths nowhere.,Open a gap for the park.。

But just for the sake of this, it is not cost-effective to let a high-ranking god voluntarily join a kingdom of God.

So there is the second point.

According to Riel's words, Magpie can roughly conclude that those "civilized people" are believers who are already "perpetual inhabitants of the flesh", who are praying, who are "dead", "half-dead souls who should be dead but still linger in the past and eternal life".

And clan warriors - these are living people, and it is incomplete to even say that they are believers.

In the end, Magpie came up with a conjecture that seemed absurd but was very consistent with the real situation.

——This space originally had some kind of overlap with the school garden.,It can be speculated that it's a nest of "Ranran".

The latter is a creature that has been recorded since the time of the gods, and it is not easy to live in this space, and it is not easy to think about it to survive to this day.

After all, it's the camp of the gods.,Although it's said, "The most dangerous place is the safest place",But living in the blind spot of the school park will still be fearful.。

It can be seen from its tepid attitude towards believers that there is a fear deep in its heart.

Luckily, though, it has managed to make it this far.

The kingdom of God is holding its footsteps.,Or for other reasons.,In short,"Ranran" failed to return to the base camp in a certain war.,So it's simply hidden in the school's eyelids - maybe Crown will know.,It's just not broken.。

Until one day, those conspirators of Paradise suddenly remembered this guy, so the "perchants" who knew that Ranran's bottom was thin came here with their incarnations, brought their own believers, and then took the life of "Ranran" and seized its identity.

Like all cruel and intelligent parasites, the "Permaculates" succeeded.

At this point, it is self-evident what value this kingdom of God can squeeze.

Magpie walked wordlessly on the rough stone pavement.

To be honest, there are only so many parts that can be speculated so far, as for whether there are more dirty and ruthless killings, the number of bones buried in the middle, and even the real behind-the-scenes operators...

It's not clear.

Well, how is this?

With me, what other waves can you make?

What do you want to do? What can you do? Where are you doing stupid things now?

Ignoring tumors and natural disasters like me, it's really a group of self-proclaimed conspirators waiting for me.

A cold light flashed in the magpie's eyes, like the stars in the sky.

Whether it's a paradise or a school park, whether it's a god or a man, no matter what purpose, philosophy, and historical baggage you have.

Since your existence is in my way, I can only erase them all.

Who told you to stand in the way of Lily of the Valley?

So, I hope you'll notice it sooner rather than later, and do your best to resist me!

Because.. You guys.. I won't let go of any of them!

The magpie's eyes revealed a sea of red, like a strange crawl out of the abyss of imagination.

"Click. ”

A pebble was kicked away, rolled in mid-air a few times and fell to the ground, not moving.
