"Tick, tick, bell...... Tell you the time, it's 10 o'clock sharp...... p.m."

On a fairly lively street in Brooklyn, there's a garbage disposal station. Normally, people didn't think it was inappropriate, but at this moment, it seemed to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were ambushing around it, it was simply too glaring and glaring. It's just that no matter what angle they use, how good their eyesight, and how critical they look at the past, they still can't see anything unusual.

They say it's some magical stronghold?

Now, the young missionary who had contacted them was walking towards the garbage disposal station, which was believed to be the base camp of magic, with the girl who had previously revealed a magic hand in front of their eyes—a mobile phone that had been shoved into the flat surface of the paper and retrieved it again. When I got to the door, the girl knocked on the door. A strange fluctuation of light suddenly appeared on the ordinary door, and then disappeared, as if the eyes were mistaken for it. Anyway, the girl had already passed the verification of the guards at the door. The young missionary pulled her behind again and walked in first.

And in the eyes of the agents, the door didn't even open, why did the young missionary and the magical girl pass through?

"Don't move around, don't think too much, remember your mission, and guard your position. You know the rules. The chief commanded in the communication. Next, we just wait for the signal. ”

As a result, outside the garbage disposal station, the atmosphere is slowly transitioning. At the intersection of several neighborhoods around, there are signs reminding pedestrians and drivers that "the natural gas pipeline is leaking, and it is being repaired, please take a detour". Within a few blocks, agents were quietly evacuating the residents of the main house for the same reason. As for the inside of the processing station, a good show is kicking off at this time.

"Oh, why didn't I remember it was a party ball, why did you bring Plus+one with Clarley?"

Plus+one usually refers to a guest at a banquet party who brings a companion who is not on the invitation list. The guy who speaks here is called Emile, a subordinate of Valentine, Clarley's evil father. He was mocking Clarley.

"Why, are you so desperate to bring one more person to your death? Or do you know there's always going on out there, so bring him over to protect him? Valentine said that if you don't hand over the Holy Grail, he will summon more evil spirits to wash the whole world in blood, and there is no mention of saving the life of your male companion in this agreement! If you think about it, so is your life! ”

As he spoke, the guy reached out and touched Clarley's face, only to be slapped away by Rollo.

"Be respectful!" Rollo played the role of an adolescent boy very well.

"Wait, are you not just plus+one, or the+one? Hahaha...... "Emir laughed even more cruelly. "Clarley, you have found a boyfriend like this, are you ready to confess to your father? I can't wait to see that, hahaha......"

He turned and walked inside, taking Rollo and Claret to meet Valentine.

"So, my daughter, did you bring your boyfriend to meet the parents? At other times, I might have been glad to welcome you, but now I have to wonder about your motives. Clarley's father said this first, just after the Emir had whispered into his ear to report the situation.

Valentine has a heroic and somewhat uninhibited face, coupled with his conceited personality, plus a bit of extremism, which constitutes his unique charm. To be honest, many villains in various stories are actually of that type, and even when they first appeared in the work, they were more trustworthy and trustworthy than the protagonist. It's a pity that in order to highlight the protagonist and for the development of the plot, they can only let them die.

"Clarie doesn't want me to come, she doesn't even want me to let me know about it. It was I who found out, and I didn't worry about her, so I followed. Rollo stepped in front of Claré and met Valentine's gaze with a determined gaze, "You are Claré's father, you are still a very powerful hunter, why do you still hook up with those demons?" ”

If he didn't know the inside story, Rollo would definitely be considered a very competent boyfriend. At least that's what Valentine thinks.

"Again, Clarley, I'll be happy for you if it were something else. I was willing to stand in the way of your mother, but unfortunately, she betrayed me......" At this point, Valentine felt a little hideous, and then regained his composure. "As for you, child, it's the Shadowhunter and the Spirits, not the Demons...... By the way, what's your name? ”

"Rollo."

"Rollo, okay. I'm going to tell you, you're naïve. Maybe you haven't officially entered society yet, and you don't know the sinister nature of the world and the sinister nature of human beings. Maybe you think that as long as you persist in some things, as long as you are brave, you can succeed. But in many cases, perseverance and courage are only the least of all the elements on the road to success. For example, in World War II, was the persistence and bravery of the Allies really higher than that of the Nazis? Not necessarily. And they can win only because they first invented nuclear weapons. Working with the evil spirits to purify my blood with the Holy Grail is the nuclear weapon I want. ”

"But now there are no Nazis." Rollo said.

"Ha, you're so naïve! And, of course, the Nazis, but they hid it. The more Valentine spoke, the more excited he became. The goal I want is not the Nazis, but something more terrible and difficult to deal with: the decay of humanity and the arrogance of angels! ”

And that's how Valentine's 'class' begins. It probably had nothing to do with the fact that he wanted Rollo and Clarrey to change their minds and follow him, but he simply wanted some listeners who could release the suppressed emotions in their hearts. Needless to say, the decay of human beings here is actually similar to the argument of Hydra, that is, human beings are being corrupted by themselves, and if they continue like this, they will only lead to destruction, and if they want to change this status quo, they must be cleansed. It seems that part of Valentine's plan is to summon a horde of evil spirits to 'cleanse' the world. As for the so-called "arrogance of angels", it seems that Valentine has something to know about the Shadowhunters. According to him, the legend is true, and it was the angel Rachel who used the Holy Grail and blood to create the first Shadowhunters to fight evil and save humanity. That is, angels really exist. However, as the Shadowhunters have become thinner and thinner, their abilities have regressed, and the evil has become stronger and more cunning, the human race has been plunged into crisis again and again. For thousands of years, no matter how much the Shadowhunters and other humans prayed to the heavens, the angels never helped or saved. So......

So, it was the arrogance of the angels that made human beings what they are today. The fall of mankind is also the sin of angels! And when I take back the Holy Grail, when I reach or even surpass the heights of angels, I will tell those who are high up that they are not qualified to look down on humans, that they are just pathetic and pathetic bugs! Hmph, bring the Holy Grail! ”

It can be seen that Valentine has been holding back for a long time. It can also be seen that Claree also knew that her father had such 'ambitions'. Of course, she didn't agree with her father's philosophy at all. Rollo thought it was interesting. If angels really exist, and come out to save humanity as the Shadowhunters once wished, again and again, then what is it, and what are superheroes?

Well, the idea is drifting by, or it's still the right thing to do. Now Rollo can confirm that Valentine has accepted his deliberately displayed persona - a naïve high school student who loves Claré very much, and the point is: harmless.

As planned, Claree cast her magic to remove the Chalice from the card, and he, the 'Wife Protector', went over to take the Grail and pass it to Valentine before Clarey handed it over. At this time, Valentin would think that Rollo was worried that Claret would be hurt by his father, and Valentin naturally didn't care about this. What he wouldn't have noticed was that Rollo was already very close to him.

Next is the most critical part. Valentine got the Holy Grail again, so naturally he wanted to verify its authenticity. He slit his finger and squeezed a few drops of blood into the chalice, glanced at Claret, then looked at Rollo again, forcing him to drink it. At this time, Rollo still looked like a good child, and after hesitating for a while, he still reached out to take the Holy Grail. And at this moment, he activated his 'purification' ability through the system mother, and he didn't forget to hide it, and at the same time that the golden light lit up from his hand, the special effect of the Holy Grail was also erased. At the same time, taking advantage of the moment of Valentine's stunnedness, Rollo's wrist shook, and a silver dagger slipped out of his sleeve and landed on the palm of his hand, and he stabbed Valentine's heart at the place.

That's the end of the 'harmlessness'.
