Volume 2 The Federation Chapter 25 The Evil God
That night, on her way back, she deliberately passed by the square. In the corner of the square, she could easily see a ring of fire surrounded by several flames, which were bubbling and burning in the night, and the sparks in the sky were born from the ring of fire, dancing in the dark around an old man who knelt in prayer in the center of the ring of fire, unmoved by the white smoke that filled the flames. On the periphery of the ring of fire, four pillars stood with torches in all directions, and silver-white flames burned on them.
"Most merciful and merciful Mother of the Galaxy," he knelt on the ground, "we offer fire, we will light the darkness for you with our piety, we are humble, we worship you as the mother of all things, we only pray that you will protect us, the nameless and ancient evil god has awakened, our homeland is suffering, and the apostate is still indulging in each other's greed, we ask for your forgiveness, and renew our long-forgotten tribute, may Our Lady be merciful......."
"May Our Lady be merciful......." Dozens of worshippers around the fire knelt on the ground and bowed to the flames reverently.
The flames ignited in an instant, as if they really sensed something, "Mother Galactic has appeared?" One exclaimed, and the others echoed, and for a moment they thought they had seen a miracle.
But in Tianxia's view, this is really more like an easy fuel apparition. She only glanced at it a few times, then turned to leave, these guys are god killers who plan to fight the evil gods, and it is better to stay away at this time, so as not to hurt themselves when they are struck by the thunder of the gods.
She walked to the door of her own house in the apartment building, and in order to prevent the recurrence of the embarrassment she had not been before, she quietly listened inward at the door beforehand.
Inside, a man's voice was reciting an old Union poem, "I am Ozmandis, the king of kings, I am also, I dare to convince the heavens...... a strange sound effect sounded, followed by a noise, shouting, screaming, and crying.
The man's voice sounded again, "Conquer the world, dare to convince the heavenly father, there is nothing else, but around the ruins, only the yellow sand is reckless, lonely and desolate, stretching in all directions." “
After a moment's silence, the man continued, "Byron....... 1818, wonderful...... To be able to write such great verses, as a poet, he died without regrets, look at the ....... under his feet"
A familiar girl's voice rang out, "I've seen this, this poem was written by Shelley, he remembered it wrong. ”
Ciri said with a sneer, "No spoilers. ”
For a while, Tianxia didn't dare to act rashly, just kept calm and continued to observe, the voices of two strange men were talking to each other, could it be that she was watching a movie again? Or two men this time?
Tianxia settled down, knocked on the door, and after only a few seconds, someone opened the door. "Leyaya...... Classmates ......."
The well-dressed Ah Tai appeared in front of her in a knee-length hip-length skirt, with flesh-colored stockings and high-heeled sandals on her feet, making Tianxia feel like a lightning strike, what is the situation? But there are no men here, why is she dressed like this? Could it be that it was shown to the two of them?
To tell the truth, Tianxia is really grateful for this leg, she is not a lace after all, maybe Princess Valian may be interested, but it is not very likely, after all, Ciri has Valyian's purest bloodline, and her body is beautiful, which can be called the most in the galaxy, how can she fall in love with this ordinary man's vulgar legs, but it may not be impossible, she is not even taboo about lesbian pornography.
"Tianxia-sang," Ah Tai hugged her in surprise, the smell of greasy perfume on her body made her only feel like a strong corpse odor, "You're back." ”
"It's not me, but the ghost is back?" Tianxia pushed her away angrily, only to see Ciri sitting in front of the couch watching an old-fashioned DVD TV, "How was your training today?" asked Ciri as usual.
"The instructor let us watch a good show of eating the living, and the dead were my comrades."
"it...... "Ah Tai burst out coldly, "It's so exciting?" "It seems she's never been trained as a recruit, good luck guy.
After Tianxia casually packed up the clothes on her body, she went to the bathroom to wash her dirty body, and walked in with cotton slippers, "What are you looking at....... Why is it so noisy? She glanced at it subconsciously, fortunately it wasn't a film of two men doing sports, otherwise Tianxia would have to suspect Ciri's sexuality again. It's not easy to accept people who like the same sex, but it's not shameful, but those who eat both men and women, she can't figure out their suffocating thinking.
"Old Federation movies," Ada, who seemed to know a lot about these, solemnly announced, "Alien. Contract, this is an exciting and philosophical sci-fi horror film, of course, it is a sci-fi movie from decades ago, but it is very interesting, can we watch it together, Tianxia-san. ”
So the three of them turned off the lights, covered themselves under the quilt and hid on the sofa to watch this old movie several times older than her again.
With the last song "The Gods Enter Valhalla" sounding, the old movie finally came to an end. From their previous point of view, they will only come to the conclusion that the movie is old and the special effects are average, but combined with the current situation, they have quite a feeling after watching it.
"It's warning us to beware of synths," Adachi swore she understood, "it's warning humans to beware of betrayal." ”
Tianxia thought of the scene at the training ground today, and she retorted uncomfortably, "The synthetics are too far away from us, I only see the horror of this monster, alas, if there is such an extremely intelligent creator behind the white spider, we will eventually go into extinction like the humans on it." ”
"It's a story, a story that makes us think we're thinking, why think about it so much," Ciri stood up, "Two hours, the movie is a bit long, Leyaya, it's so late, let's send you back." ”
It was indeed dark and dark, and although it was late summer, the stars here were already thick with ink, and the streets were faintly lit up early.
Leya didn't care, "I'll do it alone," she patted her waist, "I have a gun." ”
"Once two men attack you at the same time, your gun may not be effective, and in the chaos of the situation, a gun is also a good thing to grab," Ciri insisted, and insisted on pulling Tianxia, "We also have guns." Two people, two guns, is safer than one of you. ”
They said they were leaving. The three girls approached the faint street lamp from the community, and the bonfires lit by the evacuees became more and more dazzling, so that they unconsciously rubbed their pupils, and the light pierced their eyelids, but fortunately they quickly came back to their senses.
They noticed that there were people staring at them, more than one, many of the evacuees were muttering something, many young people were popping up obscene jokes like "that girl", "panties", "legs", "stockings", "tits" and so on, and those middle-aged people, their eyes were hotter, but they were also more hidden.
"Leyaya," Tianxia glanced at the meat stockings under Ada's knee-length hip-hugging skirt, and couldn't help but kindly remind, "I think you'd better change your clothes next time, if you're going to come out at night." ”
"Why, I can look mature and sexy in such a dress," even though she had already noticed the malicious eyes of some of the victims, Ah Tai didn't care, "My gun is enough to keep me safe, so they are not so bold," she suddenly sneered, "Tianxia-san, is she jealous?" ”
Jealous that your legs are thicker than mine? Or are your boobs smaller than mine? Tianxia wants to laugh a little, she has never worn a skirt on weekdays, but it doesn't mean that she is in worse shape than this guy, not to mention, in today's bad environment, she has to highlight her so-called "mature and sexy" with stockings and hip skirts? If that's the case, I'd rather my marksmanship be more "mature" and "sexy" than my body.
Tianxia didn't say anything, just spread her hands helplessly, since this good classmate who pays attention to "sexy" has to insist, she has nothing to say, she just hopes that if something really happens, her police dad can not blame her and Ciri for this.
After sending off Leyaya's classmates, only Ciri and her were left to walk back. "Aren't you going to persuade Le Yaya," Tianxia couldn't help but ask, "This road is not safer than expected, and you also know what has happened recently." ”
"I'm afraid that something is going to happen to Leaya, she told me personally," Ciri yawned, she covered her mouth and smiled, "She has too many boyfriends, she has long been bored and bored, and she also said that she is willing to be violently raped by a macho man who jumped out of nowhere in the dark night when she can't see her fingers, you take a good look, she enjoys the pleasure of being watched very much, there is no need to care about her." ”
"But ........" rape in the usual sense is often accompanied by beatings, of course, few men are willing to beat up a woman who wants to look good on him, but perverts are not necessarily, such as the Cherry Grove Killer.
"We can't control other people," Heary reminded, "but we can only do our own thing." ”
"Okay," Tianxia reluctantly followed Ciri back.
"Ciri-san," Tianxia suddenly thought of something, "there are a lot of rumors among the evacuees these days, and I think you'd better listen to the rumors about the Vallean royal family and the Supreme Council." ”
"I know."
"Know?" Tianxia turned her head, and by the moonlight and warm yellow light, she could barely see her eyes through the heavy mask, "Then what do you think?" ”
"I've heard too much about the arrival of evil gods, the collusion between the Supreme Council and foreign races, and the Valenian royal family carrying out some terrible biological experiment. The collapse of the federal order, there is no news of the Second Fleet, and there is no sign of improvement, naturally people will wonder if the Galactic Mother has abandoned them, and whether the Supreme Council and the Royal Family have abandoned them, no one can stop this rumor, they are just looking for another kind of sustenance, and so am I, the chaos has blinded our eyes, and we can only wait for it to dissipate for now. ”
Keep waiting? Tianxia also seemed to hear a hint of hesitation from Ciri's words, and she began to waver?
Of course, they can wait, but the number of monsters is increasing day by day as the vine man spreads, how long can they wait? Everyone knows that it will take at least a week for the Second Fleet to arrive at the Earth Federation, and it will take more than half a month for the council to approve the procedure, but it will never be delayed for too long.
Once it was a month, two months, or even longer, and the Second Fleet had not yet arrived, at that time, Tianxia could not imagine what it would be like at that time.
A complete collapse of order, a scuffle of warlords? Survival of the fittest? The bottom line of morality and law has been completely lowered? Each of these possibilities is not a wonderful future for these girls who are still underage.
If she were a man, if she were her brother, if she was strong, if she was ruthless, if she was ambitious, she might be happy with the chaos, but she was only an underage girl.
"You should stand up and let people see that Valyan hasn't abandoned them, and then ........."
"Regard me as the savior? As time goes by, and the situation doesn't get better, I'll be the first one to be sacrificed to those evil gods, if they really exist," Ciri put his arm around his shoulder, "Of course, it's not that I don't want to do my duty, I've lost my silver hair and golden eyes, otherwise I might have been pulled out by my old watch as a shield at the Changhe military base, right?" The Mother of the Galaxy has made me look like this, and she must have something else. “
What is the meaning of washing vegetables? Tianxia didn't say anything more, and they walked silently to each other into the depths of darkness, and the street lights in the distance gradually went out.
