Chapter 65: I Am God
"Listen, you two...... I changed my mind. ”
The godfather leaned forward and sat up straight, his fingers crossed on the table.
He said softly, "I have something to ask you for help with." ”
It's not just a conversation with the strangulation, but the inferior who stands behind the strangulation is also included.
Strangling has no opinion on this either. He just patted the seat next to him, and said without looking back:
"—sit down and listen."
The godfather knew that this was not because the strangulation had changed its attitude towards the inferior...... On the contrary, it was he who began to be wary of the inferior.
The character of the strangulation is like that of the king of lions. He is the kind of character who does everything in his power to protect the weak, but does not allow the other to disobey him.
In the face of the weak within the group, he is the most just ruler and the best big brother.
When facing the strong outside the group, he can grit his teeth and hold on to the end, not giving in and not giving in.
…… But only in the face of the strong people inside, the strangulation will be extremely vigilant.
Before the barber became a godfather, the strangulation tested him. That's just because the barber became a mage.
When the inferior awakens a new spiritual power, the sense of crisis of strangulation is constantly alerting him.
Just by having the current inferior stand behind him, the strangulation will feel uneasy. It's like someone behind him holding a dagger, and he can't help but want to look back and make sure.
With a little stimulation, he'll want to show his fangs at the silent deer – and he'll want to bite off his neck to prevent further trouble.
"I was going to make the 'inferior' a banner for us. But for you these days, it's a waste. ”
The godfather looked at the inferior gently, like a tutor looking at his confused student.
His tone can be called gentle, but the words he says are not so gentle: "Now that you have new strength, show it."
"Then use your new psionic energy to kill a few people. From now on, you are the sharpest knife in the hands of the godfather, and people should think of me when they see you.
"Well, since you're just a ghost, don't stigmatize the name of the 'inferior'...... I'm going to give you another code name. The time of sinfulness in the lower part of the city is coming to an end. When people think of uncensored people again, they no longer associate them with downtown. Only the 'godfathers' and 'families' will become the new masters.
"I'll give you a new name...... It's called 'silence', how? ”
This is actually the code name that Russell came up with when he used it to tease ale, taken from the fact that the inferior has lost his voice.
But he didn't expect that it would be a prophecy at that time-
He wasn't going to send the inferior out for some wet work.
After all, the inferior is not good at firearms, because he has awakened his psionic energy since he was very young, so he has not practiced physical skills.
All he needs to do is snap on the lighter when he is aiming at them, or touch them when he is close to them. He doesn't usually read and study like Delphinch, and his favorite thing is to arrest illegal psionics, which is actually to abuse vegetables.
As long as they can touch the body of others, the inferior person can directly shake the opponent with a loud sound until they lose their ability to resist. Because of this, the inferior who relies too much on ability almost becomes a waste person after losing his psionic power......
The inferior is completely dependent on the protection of strangulation. Prepare to make a typical example of "from Uptown, but joined the Godfather's forces".
Although the inferior was hated in the past, everyone must admit that "the inferior is a righteous person". He is only hated because he is too righteous and upright, and he doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand those human feelings.
If such people have no talent, they will be suppressed by their bosses who are bored and jealous of them. But precisely because the inferior has irreplaceable talents, people can only hate him and can do nothing. In the end, I could only sigh "that madman" and faintly admired him.
If such a jealous and hateful person is willing to join the Godfather's forces, then there seems to be nothing to fear. The dangers advertised in Uptown can be completely defused under the hedging of the "spokesperson" of the inferior...... Once they joined, the Godfather naturally had a way to keep them.
But today's inferior ones have been forced to change their positioning.
It is impossible for a strangulation to keep a stranger who can kill him by his side. Once he stays for a long time, Strangulation will think that the Godfather is spying on him with the inferior.
- Although the Godfather did want to spy on him with the inferior.
But the truth is true...... As long as it's not found by strangulation. So the inferior must be dispatched now.
He has changed from the positioning of the peerless tank of the past to an assassin in the shadows.
Under what circumstances is an assassin the most dangerous?
Of course, it's most dangerous to know that he's around, but not to know where he is.
It's so dangerous that you can't help but sprinkle a handful of powder.
The inferior's previous blue shift has reached level seven, and although he has changed his psionic energy, the blue shift value will not drop.
There is something very counterintuitive about the various abilities of this world. That is, whether it is spells, holy ranks, or psionic powers, there are no "blue bars".
It has only one driving force, and that is a certain emotion.
If an ability is no longer driven, or if it is exhausted...... That's actually when the user finally can't hold back.
For example, if he hadn't been so manic and furious, he wouldn't have been able to develop his psionic abilities to the fullest extent.
The godfather has never used the spiritual ability of "caged bird", because no matter how he plays, he can never experience the despair of being embattled and having no way out. Without that sense of despair of being "imprisoned by the world", the caged bird will not be able to exert its full strength—the strength of psionic energy will gradually increase with the level. It shouldn't just be the ability to confine a small dark room, it's just that the current Russell can only play to this extent.
Because of this, while Alice's "Immortal Instrument" and Morgan's "Fairy in the Lake" and other psionic abilities have been upgraded along with Russell's Blue Shift and Red Shift, the "Caged Bird" still stays in its initial state.
And the newest psionic energy of the inferior, according to the container, is the psionic energy with the tone of "emptiness".
As the inferior's original desires collapsed, he didn't even expect that he would become like this after his wish was fulfilled...... And at this time, it was heard that "Tovatus", who had once regarded himself as an archenemy, had abandoned himself and turned to the godfather as an archenemy......
His and Tovatus' positions were completely reversed.
The strong sense of emptiness and the desire to do something attracted new psionic powers.
But his original demon didn't die or leave him because of it—it still dwells in the body of the inferior, only to fall asleep because it lost that emotion.
If one day the inferior can regain his anger, it will return at the same time.
- If the inferior can harness emptiness and fury at the same time, switching back and forth between two diametrically opposed states, then he will be the only person in this world to possess dual psionic powers.
"Not long ago, Miss Bingshui, the new chief reporter of Uptown, was murdered in a heavy truck while she was riding in a car. Although the murder failed, the people of Uptown eventually found out that the incident was related to Downtown...... Or to be more precise, related to the 'veil of ignorance'. ”
The godfather glanced at the inferior and said slowly, "I think, Mr. Inferior doesn't need me to say more."
"I'll introduce you to Strangulation...... The chief reporter, her father is the veteran hero 'Emperor', her best friend is 'Kasumi', the only daughter of the head office director, and another hero, 'Tiansheng', is pursuing her.
At the same time, she is the chairman of several small companies. Her assassination directly shook the stock price and even the broader market. Now it has attracted the attention of the entire Hero Club, the board of directors of the head office has set its sights on it, several companies in Uptown are investigating, and Tian En Daily and Tian En TV are still silent, but they will not be silent forever. ”
With every word the godfather spoke, he knocked on the table.
The face of the strangulation became more gloomy.
"There is no doubt that the man who shot it violated the law of silence that you have established...... What you were afraid of is true. As soon as the attack in the lower town involved the upper echelons, it caused a thunderous rage. If it weren't for the dissolution of our organization, we would have been wiped out this time.
"I know Tovatus that person. He never presses others to do anything, only induces.
"For that person, coercion is a lack of fun. It's like walking off the sidelines when playing a game, losing the meaning of the game itself. So that person must have betrayed us because of greed. ”
The godfather's slow words, like the whispers of a demon, gradually aroused the anger in the heart of the strangulation.
"Money, fame, power...... Either to be more valuable in front of Tovatus, or ...... To add to your blockage? ”
"—that's enough."
Strangler Shen interrupted, "No need to say any more, I understand.
"The murderer has broken into the house with a knife, and he should be shot whether there is anyone in the house or not - we have been able to avoid this kind of scourge in the past, but that doesn't mean he's not guilty. You don't have to convince me, I understand, I understand...... Just give me his name. ”
The strangulation's tone was full of murderous intent, and the rare scarlet anger at the bottom of the pupil ignited again: "I'm the best at doing this kind of thing...... I will grind him into mud with stones. ”
"There is no internet in the lower part of the city, and there are already few pilots. There shouldn't be too many pilots who can remotely control heavy trucks. I think there are probably not many people and mercenaries who are close to the curtain of ignorance. ”
The godfather lowered his head and picked his nails, and said lightly: "You don't need to check, let's kill them all." The execution is for the rest of our family to see.
"Then check again, the people who betrayed me and went to Uptown...... Silence them, and they'll be handed over to you.
"Really, he warned them...... Sooner or later, greed will kill them. It's a shame they didn't take it to heart. ”
"You've dealt with people from the Veil of Ignorance?"
Strangling frowned: "When did you contact them?" ”
"You lion, you really don't know what a joke is......"
The godfather sighed and asked rhetorically, "Do I need to prove anything to the dead?" We're just going to show outsiders and make them think — look, the Godfather does what he says!
"But anything can be said by the godfather whenever he wants. The Godfather seems to have said everything, and he seems to be able to touch everywhere...... He seems to be everywhere, as if he is ever-changing.
"Or so to put it. If they don't know who said a word, it can be said that the godfather said it. I give them that power.
At the end of the day, people don't need to know who the godfather is. As long as there is a proxy to step in for me...... In that case, it doesn't matter what I said. ”
The corners of the godfather's mouth rose slightly.
He leaned back, the upper half of his face away from the candle on the table, hidden in the shadows behind him.
"The Godfather is just a symbol, lion. The power is not in my hands, but in the hearts of people. It's people who need godfathers, and there's godfathers......
It's like the church needs God—but believers don't need to see God. There is no need for a God to exist in the church. ”
