Chapter 529: It's About Time
At a certain intersection at midnight, Lin Xuan stood there quietly, as if waiting for someone. After a short time, the nearby space distorted, and two figures appeared from the void. It was Crowley, with an unknown demon. Of course, for Lin Xuan, as long as he saw it, he could be sure that that guy was the guy who hurt Caitlyn in the square.
"It doesn't seem like it's time for us to meet, right? Any questions? Crowley asked. But there was some uneasiness on his face. Because he had probably guessed what Lin Xuan meant.
"Now that you've brought him here, you should already know what I mean. Crowley, I want to know, who gave you the right to dare to change my script. ”
"Pa Zuzu didn't mean it, he just added a little scene temporarily. And the end result isn't bad, right? And there was no substantial damage. So ......"
"No damage? Is that your reason? He hurt Caitlin without my consent, both physically and mentally. I'm really weird, I look very deterrent? A dog dares to go against my will. As soon as the words fell, the demon named Pa Zuzu on the side suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, convulsing all over. It seems to be extremely painful. A miserable green flame loomed over him.
"You ......," Crowley seemed to say something else. But in the end, there was no opening. Demons cannot be killed on earth, they will only be banished to hell. But he soon sensed that something was wrong. Because in his perception, Pazuzu's aura is constantly weakening.
Not a weakness after an injury, but a weakening in nature. It's as if its life is rapidly burning out.
"Wait a minute, I promise there won't be a next time. He was just on the spur of the moment. Crowley wanted to exonerate his men, but Lin Xuan was unmoved.
"On the spur of the moment, Crowley, you're a smart man, I thought you could at least come up with a better excuse."
"They're demons. It's in their nature, what do you want them to do? This is already the result of trying to suppress as much as possible. They are unable to restrain their vicious nature. ”
"Insurmountable? That's just that you're not in charge. And I don't need collaborators who can't restrain themselves. This is the last chance, there is no next time. Restrain one's own nature, or die. ”
The green flames burst into flames, and Pazuzu only let out a half-scream before losing all his breath. A demon was slain on earth. This is a power that only those angels have. Crowley's face turned pale.
………………..
Woodtown is now the most talked-about location in the world. Caitlin returns to her long-lost home. Even though it was planned, the feeling of coming home was still a little emotional.
Surprisingly, the imaginary images of various media interviews and the like did not appear. Apparently the government department is secretly intervening, I don't know why. They created a quiet environment for Caitlyn.
"It's not what we imagined."
"yes, it looks like some people within the government are starting to get restless. They want to seek something more. Maybe you're trying to find a way to get in touch with us right now? ”
"What do they want to do?"
"If you think about it, it should be clear, Caitlin. All they want is simple, to maintain their rights. Because of the creatures of darkness and our presence. The power institutions of this world are obviously facing a reshuffle. Whether you admit it or not, we have played a pivotal role in this reshuffle. Now someone wants to take advantage of us. ”
"What's the point of that for us?"
"This is really an opportunity to speed up our plans. Those people can't compare to the old conglomerates that hide behind the scenes. But they also have a considerable amount of resources at their disposal. It's just a superficial resource, but that's exactly what we need. Wait, soon they will appear. ”
Caitlin lived in the town as if nothing had happened. It's as if nothing has happened. Until one day, some people finally can't take it anymore.
"Miss Caitlin, though it's a little strange to say that. But we need to meet the people behind you. ”
"Interesting, he said you would come to me. Do you know what we want? ”
"I don't know. But I believe it's a big goal about saving the world or something. And we can do everything we can to help you. ”
"And what do you want?"
"We hope that this world will never be watched by those dark eyes again."
Caitlin paused for a moment before she understood what the other meant. These people actually want to completely clean up the consortium that is hidden behind the scenes.
"Do you know what that means? Those people have the ability to wage war anywhere in the world. In a sense, they control the world. ”
"But that's not a problem for you guys at all, is it? I've seen a stealthy video. A human known as Purple Electricity. He has incredible speed. I calculated that if he were a killer, he would be able to slaughter all the soldiers of the entire Pacific Fleet in a matter of minutes. He is an even more dangerous existence than nuclear weapons. But as far as I know, he's your guys, right? You may not have many of you. But you have the most powerful force in the world. ”
"And then? Can you get those guys together and let us catch them all? ”
"There's no such possibility. In fact, at no time do they really get together. Because if they dare to do that, we dare to throw a nuclear bomb there. They knew in their hearts how much power was resisting them. So, cherish your life to the extreme. ”
"So what to do, we find them and kill them. And then all the benefits go to you? Is this your sincerity? ”
"No, we'll pay first."
…………………………
Times Square time continues to ferment. Almost all the media are working together to promote the follow-up of this matter. Surprisingly, none of the media outlets had a negative assessment of Caitlin. Almost all the media, overtly or implicitly, have put Caitlyn in an unprecedented position.
Even in the eyes of most people, a mindset has been formed that she is the savior. At the same time, the attacks of the dark creatures continued. The government's armed forces, as well as the newly formed Special Operations Group, have made certain achievements. But it's still the same old problem, when it comes to the dark creatures of the energy system, they are forced. After all, no matter how powerful a gunpowder weapon is, it can't kill a ghost.
Civilian casualties occur from time to time. And it's getting worse. This made all the people miss the figure holding the flaming sword even more.
The long sword that remained in the square was taken away by the government departments who arrived. That sword had one of Lin Xuan's spells on it. It is imitated by the spell of the Sword of the Supreme King in the wizard world. If you wielder a sword, you can automatically get the skill bonus of the master of swordsmanship, and instantly become a master of swordsmanship.
The government has chosen a lot of people to hold the sword. One of them is even able to 'summon' flames like Caitlyn does. But it was clear that they didn't fully master the magic sword. Even the people who eat melons can easily see that the strength of these sword-wielders is far worse than Caitlin.
When the fourth sword-bearer died at the hands of the dark creatures, the angry crowd could no longer take it anymore. They demanded an explanation from the government. Why don't you invite that female warrior out of the mountain. Because almost everyone found out. After Caitlyn retired, the superpowers who had worked together to fight the dark creatures disappeared one after another. They seem to be headed by Caitlyn, or upset for her. This has also exacerbated the dissatisfaction of the masses with the government.
They stubbornly believe that it was the incompetence of the government that forced the great warrior away. Now people have lost their asylum, and the government is doing nothing. And the unknown reporter was once again pulled out and whipped to the corpse. In fact, after the Square incident, he lost his job.
Originally, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper hoped to use his popularity to carry out a wave of hype. When the newspaper office was splashed with paint and smashed glass, he could still bear it. And think that this is a manifestation of high heat. But as the situation intensified. People started throwing Molotov cocktails at the newspaper offices. At this time, the whole newspaper office could not stand it anymore. Collectively, they demanded that the unknown journalist be dismissed. Otherwise they will resign en masse.
So Mr. Reporter was kicked out of the newspaper office without any suspense. Surprisingly, though, the angry crowd didn't rush up to him and squash him. It's just that he keeps harassing him, interfering with his job search, smashing his glass at night, etc. And all the aggressive behavior is to avoid really hurting him, or his family. It's just the use of some invisible oppression, and public opinion condemns him.
This is clearly the government's handiwork. They made extremely precise arrangements for the handling of this reporter. As the initiator, he obviously can't get any better. However, we must not let public opinion go unchecked. Because there is no doubt that if he goes out into the street, he may even be beaten to death by the angry crowd. And if he dies, the account will be related to Caitlin anyway.
And he has a wife and a daughter. The damage done to his family, two truly innocent people, after his death is incomparable. This situation will bring a stain on Caitlin's prestige. All by no matter what, they will not allow this person to die. There is even a team of agents who are secretly protecting him.
As time passed, the incident did not subside. On the contrary, it is getting more and more intense. Finally, the government 'can't stand the pressure' of public opinion. They openly announced that they would bring Caitlin back and form a department dedicated to fighting the dark creatures with her as the core.
The next day, thousands of people gathered in front of Catelyn's door, and they petitioned together to take up the magic sword again and protect the world. Caitlin didn't respond, just stood there a little struggling, looking overwhelmed. Until a little girl stepped forward.
It was a little girl of seven or eight years old. She took a bouquet of flowers and walked up to Caitlyn.
"Sister, my mom was eaten by a monster. They say you can defeat monsters. Please, will you go and run them away? Then no other child will lose his mother......"
The little girl is prepared in advance. But what she said was true. Countless psychologists and sociologists have repeatedly consulted. In the end, it was decided that only the simplest scenario would be enough to evoke emotional resonance for everyone. And Caitlin's comeback will also become a matter of course. At that moment, Caitlin couldn't even tell whether it was acting or showing her true feelings. All she knew was that she was in tears.
"Sister promises you. Fight away all the monsters and won't let any child lose their mother again. ”
Thousands of people cheered together, and countless people who followed this scene through various media also cheered. At this moment, Caitlyn only felt the sword in the lake connected to her heart, trembling slightly.
She slowly stretched out her hand, and a dreamlike color appeared in her hand. Colorful is not enough to describe. It was a light that brought together all the colors of the world.
The light flowed in her hand, converging, and eventually forming a transparent sword. The brilliant colorful light gradually fades into a pure crystalline color, or even colorless. However, the vast majority of the crowd could still see that an invisible sword was in Catelyn's hand. For the sword has their share of power.
"In the name of the Sword of Victory and Oath, I call upon all warriors who hide in the darkness. It's time to stand up, it's time to rebel, it's time to put an end to this. ”
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was clear in everyone's minds. All the humans who contributed to the sword in the lake have accepted Caitlin's will. This time, she stood in this world with an upright leadership posture.
……………………..
"Miss Caitlin, whatever you're going to do? I think it's time to hurry. We are now facing a counterattack from those old powers. In the last week, three of our members have died in assassination. They have let go of all restrictions and are starting to do whatever it takes. We don't have the strength to confront them head-on. Now, I feel like we should charge something in return. ”
"Last question, I know that you are representatives of the emerging consortium. So, how can you be sure that you will not become the kind of existence that you are now adversary? ”
"This doesn't need to be considered. Because I think you're going to look out for us. Isn't it? ”
"Hehe, maybe. I'll take care of those guys. You are now using all your resources to prepare for an onslaught. ”
"Impact, what do you mean?"
That's what it means literally. Whether it is on the physical level or on the social level, the world will usher in a shock. Caitlyn, gather the others, and let's go. The goal, purgatory. ”
