Michael exclaimed, "Why are these two thousand all slaves?" ”

This is the end of being too honest, making Michael feel like a powder keg that has been ignited, but fortunately the gunpowder inside is already wet.

I said, "It can't be helped." ”

Michael: "What do you mean you can't do it?" It's Missouri! This is simply a Bochi job! ”

I want to refute it, but think about it.

Legang said, "Michael, calm down, listen to what Longinus has planned." ”

I ordered the dinner robot to build a .... Camp and bring them... Concentrated inside, I know that this camp looks evil and cruel, but it's not actually ** like that, I just can't let them live in the city.

Michael said, "It's ridiculous that you're giving them food, what's the difference between that and a beast?" They are human! Mankind! For Cain's sake. ”

Abel stood beside me, frowning, Michael and Legang thought he was a good bodyguard I had found, and although Legang teased that I didn't need to be protected, they didn't ask much.

I thought about it and decided to tell the truth, and I said, "Michael, you've lived for hundreds of years and know about humanity, right?" You know that humans are easy to learn badly, especially if they are not properly educated. ”

Michael nodded, held out a finger, and said, "But I still insist....."

I interrupted him and said, "Don't interrupt me, let me finish." A wise man has pointed out that the welfare I give to the citizens of the weeping is far greater than the capacity of the city, and that my city has just suffered a great blow, most of the people have died, and that I am short of labor, and that I need to fill the city with life without impoverishing me..."

Michael said, "So, you put them in concentration camps like death row prisoners? ”

I waved my hand and said, "Don't use that word, it's not a concentration camp!" It's just quarantine, if you know them, you'll think I'm doing the right thing, they're captives of the devil, they've been brainwashed by the devil, they're full of negative emotions in their nature, I can only scare them with fear for the time being, but once they indulge, they'll get terrible, if they know I'm kind, they'll be out of control, maybe they'll hurt the rest of the city, and you know that the rest are almost all kids under the age of seventeen or eighteen. ”

Michael said, "Don't beat around the bush, you buy the cheapest food from the black coffin and feed it to them?" ”

I spread my hands and said, "I don't have much money, and besides, I don't want to put too much pressure on the black coffin, especially since they eat a hundred times better now than they do in London!" ”

Michael looked into the barbed wire fence and saw the slaves smiling as they munched on some coarse bread with only a little salt on it.

Michael added, "I heard you say that you took the newborn baby and the child under the age of four from them and gave it to the demon messenger?" ”

He was referring to Veraille, who had behaved honestly during my absence, and had been assessed that I should trust her.

I said, "The blood of these slaves is not ordinary, they are a kind of... The Aether clan has a high probability of having a child who becomes a mage. ”

Legang asked, "Nefarem?" ”

"No, not yet, but it's close."

Michael calmed down a lot, his demeanor had changed from scratching his hair to biting his fist, and he said, "So, you broke them apart from their parents?" ”

I grimaced and said, "Do you think they are better with their parents, or are they better educated by demons?" ”

Michael shrugged and said nothing about it. He went around in circles, sighed, and said, "Well, this is your city and your experiment." ”

I said, "You know I'm right. "I secretly glanced at Le Gang and asked him to persuade Michael on my behalf. Then I sent them back to the black coffin.

Abel said, "I never understood why you needed these people, they were just a burden. ”

I frowned and said, "Don't you understand what power is all about?" At least you understand that if I'm on the toilet, someone has to watch the kids for me, or, while I'm sleeping, watch the herd or the farmland, and don't be bothered by the thief. Can you understand this? ”

Abel said, "You are a weak man, Seth, you don't need such a big city at all, you don't need so many troubles, if you keep exercising your strength, you will become as strong as me." You are not a demon and need human faith to sustain yourself. ”

He was so sad that I suddenly felt like I was working for nothing.

I said, "I'm saving humanity, I'm perpetuating human civilization." ”

Abel: "It's all in vain, humanity has fallen to this point, it's all self-inflicted, and they will only repeat the same mistakes again and again." ”

"So I have to guide them."

As we spoke, we came to the church of Cain, and the moonlight shone on the cold and hard building, and Abel looked at it for a moment, and said, "What is the name of a nice house?" ”

Faced with this holy and vast project, filled with pride and accustomed to nature, I blurted out, "This is the church of Cain." ”

Abel: "What church?" ”

I felt like I had been poured a basin of cold water from head to toe and said, "That's it.... The church should win, which means that we should win. ”

I didn't even tell him we believed in Cain, and I forgot that he was killed by Cain twice!

Able pushed open the door and walked in, I was afraid that he would tear down the church, so I could only follow carefully, and said, "I don't mean anything else, Cain is still the ancestor of our human race, and... Or are you... My brother. "Of course I'm sure I don't know Cain very well, but brother is a good reason, after all, there are extenuating circumstances.

Vaguely, I noticed movement in another chapel on the right, who was in it so late? Who would have had the audacity to steal something from the Church of Cain?

Abel became transparent, I swallowed the water of Amon, and we walked over there, where it was a group of young men, sitting on several large cushions, looking intently at the screen in front of them.

It was the kind of LCD TV from the last century, and when it was plugged in, there was a woman's humming voice on the screen.

A bunch of little bastards steal the church's electricity at Cain Church and watch movies that shouldn't be watched.

Abel sneered, I didn't know if he was okay, but I quickly realized that he was just happy in his heart, because he thought that Cainism was a joke, and that jokes had to be ridiculous.

One teenager said, "Mask, why are you putting this kind of thing on our feet?" ”

Mask?

The mask said, "Poor children, do you feel that the sorrow in your heart is diminished by the baptism of this amusement? ”

They shook their heads and said, "I just want Mom and Dad back." ”

The mask said, "Poor, pitiful, but you have to learn to look forward, to look at this screen, to feel the power of life-creation, to feel the joy of ascending to heaven, to forget all your troubles, this is the teachings of Cain, this is the teachings of this religion...."

He took out another disc and said, "This is the classic supreme with license plate number CWPD-666, a treasure in my collection, known as a temptation that demons can't stop......."

I shouted angrily, "Mask, you're going to die!" ”

He screamed in fright, and with his hands like electricity, he hid the disc under the cushion and kicked it off. The children were so frightened that they ran away in the blink of an eye, and I didn't bother to stop them.

Then, the mask pretended to be nonchalant and smiled: "Ah, Longinus, my good mayor, when are you coming back?" Why don't I know? ”

I yelled, "If you're not busy leading these kids down the wrong path, how can you not know? ”

The eyes of the mask swept over my face and fixed on Abel, who took off his hood and looked directly into the mask's eyes.

Abel said, "Strange. ”

The mask also said, "Strange. ”

I asked, "What's so strange?" ”

Abel said, "I seem to have seen this man somewhere." ”

The mask said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere, too." ”

They were all lost in thought, and even the Mask guy was uncharacteristically serious. They stood silently in this holy and dark church, in the absurd little chapel, in the pungent smell of hormones of the youth, beside a pile of vulgar discs, bowing their heads in bewilderment, as if at this moment they had captured the most important secret of their lives and had to unravel the mystery before dawn.

I simply behaved calmly and silently, after all, I couldn't be compared to them, especially that mask, why did his aura seem so divine now? So I riveted my strength and kept silent with all my might, trying to make myself a little more sacred than Mask and Abel.

But after a while, Abel said, "What a boring night." ”

The mask said, "Then let's go back early, I remember cooking instant noodles at home...."

He grabbed the disc and the screen and ran away, thinking about Cain's canon—if the mask was to be punished, this kid would be enough to be burned at the stake.

But I still relented and decided to let him go, am I too indulgent to the mask? No, no, I can't punish him, because he's still useful to me, and he's a tool man who is easy to control and doesn't have the slightest ambition.

In this era, where do you find such a good tool person?

Abel asked, "What is instant noodles?" ”

I said, "You're not going to be interested in, a kind of food soaked in water." ”

I was wrong, Abel – a vampire for tens of thousands of years – was interested in instant noodles.

He and I went to the hut where the mask was crying and pushed open the door, and the mask had already cooked three bowls of instant noodles as if he knew we were coming.

Hell, why is this instant noodle so fragrant? In these days, a bowl of instant noodles with its sauce can be considered a heavenly food.

Able picked up a bowl, and he quickly learned to use a fork to roll up the noodles and put them in his mouth.

The mask said: "I will only make you a bowl, this bowl can be sold for three hundred credits on the market, I am really losing blood today." ”

I exclaimed, "What a profiteer! "The biggest problem with instant noodles is that you can't stop eating the first bite because it's so easy to eat.

We were soon mute again, eating noodles with our heads down, as if there was a huge, profound answer hidden in this noodle against the mystery I had just inadvertently felt.

Or maybe the mystery has already been revealed.

More likely, there is no mystery at all.

We were just three bored, insomniac guys eating delicious instant noodles late at night.
