"Knock Knock"

In front of a single-family house in Jowood, Richard Ernst, who was carrying a suitcase, bent his finger and knocked softly on the door.

There was no response, no footsteps, but Richard wasn't in a hurry. As He waited, He heard footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, he saw two strange women, one tall and one short, standing outside the black railing of the garden, looking at Him curiously.

"Hello, we're here to visit Mr. Vaughan." The tall lady spoke, and she showed a polite smile, "Is he back?" ”

"He's out?" Richard was stunned for a moment, he came in a hurry, and now he found that there was indeed silence in this house, and there was not even half a breath. The temperance angel, who thought that the Lord did not want to see Him and deliberately pretended not to hear, was puzzled for two seconds, then turned around, took off his top hat, and asked the two ladies in a friendly manner, "I am his student, may I ask what happened?" ”

The two ladies looked at each other.

"This ...... This is because, we had previously met Ziringers by chance outside. The little woman replied, she didn't look very old, and she seemed to be just a young girl in size, "Do you know about the Hurricane Lieutenant General sneaking into the Duke's ball, sir?" ”

"I know very well." The angel in question replied.

"Mr. Vaughn and we were confronted by Zielingers and nearly lost our lives (Richard!). Thank you Lord for leaving me the bounty. ）。 Mr. Vaughn left for refuge that night, and we moved for the time being, staying in the nearby church until news of Zielingers' death broke. ”

With that, they pointed to the mailbox at the door. Inside was a letter from three days ago, and no one had come to pick it up until now.

"That's ...... so"

Richard nodded, the Lord certainly wouldn't really leave because of refuge, He must have a reason to go out. Perhaps Aurora will be able to find out the truth, but Richard doesn't want to get too close to those overzealous "companions", which would pose a danger to the comrades of the Foundation and the Sect.

The Angel of Temperance regretted for a moment, it seems that he can't report to the Lord today, so he can only go to the East District immediately to check the situation. He was too busy, always too busy to stay, and in two days he had to go to Fenerport, and then go back to communicate with his collaborators who were far away in Intis. The Church of the Merciful Mother Earth God is especially appreciative of His efforts to help children, and it is customary to have charity dinners when He has scheduled a visit, and He cannot be absent.

"If Mr. Vaughn hadn't protected us, we might have been killed that day." The brown-haired lady sighed softly, "But the news of Ziringus' killing has spread throughout the country, and Mr. Vaughan should be back soon after reading the paper." ”

"yes." Richard nodded knowingly, "He's a very gentle man...... But I have a hurry, and I have to leave Beckland tonight or tomorrow morning. If he returns, please say hello to him on my behalf. ”

The pale sun hanging in the sky had been completely swallowed by the red moon, and the peaceful starlight and crimson moon shadow enveloped the entire city. The chaos fell silent, the flames were consumed by the darkness, and it was the greatest requiem ritual descended from the gods, and the souls of the newly dead and the people who had been induced by the demons were blessed with tranquility at this time, and they no longer produced the negative emotions that the evil gods needed, but invariably closed their eyes and fell quietly, falling into a dreamless deep sleep filled with the fragrance of moon flowers.

“…… If the goddess of the night descends herself, or asks the servants of the gods to come, I will probably accept it when I meet and continue in another place. ”

Edward narrowed his eyes and looked squarely at the crimson full moon in the sky. There was no need to hide it anymore, and the "Nightmare's" soulless body was like a puppet without a string, falling straight back. This place has long overlapped with the virtual "Abyss", and after the power of the Goddess of the Night reached this small city and put everyone into a deep sleep, it naturally pulled him and the "Abyss" into the dream of this group - perhaps the Divine Servant Arianna was on his way here, preparing to attack his exposed flesh in the real world.

Edward made a quick judgment, and the black moat cracked beneath his feet, and dark blue flames erupted. He did not hesitate to reveal his mythical creature form! A black exoskeleton twisted like a blade peeked out of the skin, and when the torn skin healed again, it was harder than steel, and the blood that flowed turned into thin lines of fire coiled around the body.

"But the power of the long-range projection alone wants me to retreat, Goddess of the Night—you look down on the Devil too much."

The smell of sulfur was so strong that it was as if a hundred volcanoes were erupting at the same time, and half of the dream city was instantly reduced to a sea of fire. The demon's head stretched out with crooked goat horns, lava flowed between his fingers, and his huge body that rose to tens of meters instantly burst the small building he was in, and the huge black bat wings were fully opened, and even the night sky was obscured by half. The demon swept across the low building with his flaming eyes, and he turned, several houses collapsing one after another, and a low roar came out of his throat:

"Death"!

The filthy words fell, weighing more than a thousand catties, and death struck, as light as a feather.

The order to take life was carried out in the city, and a trace of cyan aura that was imperceptible to the naked eye was quietly mixed into the thick black fog like a tide. So in this great dream, the dying people, the dying people, the people who despair about the future...... 's ears all rang with whispers of temptation.

"Your life full of suffering can be over......"

"You may never be happy, or your life has just improved and you have been robbed of hope, it doesn't matter, life is a painful journey."

"If the end of this painful journey is eternal peace and the people you long to be reunited, delicious food, warm bedding, healthy bodies, and long-lost children...... So death is also worth looking forward to, right? ”

"Your life is worthless, even a drag on others."

"Life is worse than death, and if you want salvation, you have to forsake it."

"There will be no more cold and heat, no more troubles and sorrows, and no more pain in the world after death." The whispers of the devil echo in the dreams of every unfortunate person, and he uses his authority to pick those who have fallen to the point of abandoning themselves, to select those who are on the verge of "decay", and then guide them to bring their lives to an end.

"Give them to me, for the gods will not save you."

Die, die. The demons who roam the earth say, "You are like dust and mustard, and no one cares even if you die."

Suffering from illness, having spent all her family's savings on expensive medical bills, and seeing her parents grow old day after day, the weak girl shed tears in her dreams, and the guilt made her give up her life; The poor man, who had not found a job for three days, and who was reluctant to eat even the moldy bread in his arms, curled up in a filthy corner and took his last breath, when a gray rat looked left and right and took the bread from his hand; The mother, who could not afford to raise her children, finally gave up on herself in exhaustion and despair with no future in sight, leaving the child, who did not yet know what grief and death wept, to soak the last shred of warmth in her mother's arms.

There are many kinds of beings, and there are thousands of sorrows.

"Of course, I will give you salvation. The world is so cruel, life is so small, it is better to put it in my hands, I will make good use of each and every one of you, you are very precious, I will not waste anything. ”

Tears flowed from one pair after another, and then closed forever. They give up their lives in their dreams, and they will also die quietly in reality, which is the most peaceful death. In their dreams there was a red moon, a black sky, a hand that gently took them and helped them out of their heavy shells, and a messenger who kindly watched and led them into the dark sea of darkness, and they knew nothing until they slept forever, and naturally did not feel the slightest pain.

Their accumulated resentment, the last unwillingness and sorrow before death converged into a gray air current, and when they surged, different but equally sad faces emerged, converging on the night watchman's building in Tingen in their dreams.

And under the power of tranquility, the mother, Megaoos, has long lost her fighting spirit, she was a believer in steam during her lifetime, and now she is watched by the night after death. The children of the god are still struggling, soaking up the ashes and trying to drive the useless mother out of here. But she just stared up at the sky, and under her empty eye sockets were two long dried blood streaks, as if crying in the crimson moonlight.

In the next second, the demon crushed her.

Edward lifted the roof and held the formed offspring in his hands, removing the remains of the mother's body. The eyes of the dark blue flames fluttered lightly over the soothsayer, whose eyes were closed and trembling in the small building, and the midnight poet, who was also instructed by the insect of time to close his eyes and clench his fists. They were given the most direct refuge against death, but that was about it. The Worm of Time is doing his best to keep the Midnight Poet sane and alive, and he is so weak that he is not willing to lose even this weak carrier...... It's a pity, I wanted to tempt the Midnight Poet to commit suicide, so that the Worm of Time would be exposed and kill him for the ritual......

According to the original plan, he should sacrifice the blood of the entire city to help his allies descend and complete the sixth massacre and then promote to Sequence 1, and his actions will be fast enough to complete the ritual and leave before the Storm and Night Church react. But there is almost always no rapid change, if the appearance of the time worm is a surprise, then the gaze of the goddess of the night can only make her give up this promotion plan.

"......, yes, there's one more thing to do."

Enough death and enough resentment to finally turn the carrier in his hand from the illusory into the corporeal, and the time has come for him to wait.

The cyan aura that was imperceptible to the naked eye gathered again silently, mixed with the resentment of the evil god's heir gulping and swallowing, and was gulped down by the child who longed to grow. For the sake of the impending apocalypse, we will never really play ally games and play games with the gods on earth all the time. Of course, the outer gods of the "Declining King" hope that the gods of the earth will continue to intrigue and restrain each other. It is better not to give birth to a new true God, and it is better to continue to be crazy if you are crazy.

The "true Creator" is much more cautious than Russell, and his more than a thousand years of peace and obedience, even combined with his own prolonged madness and intermittent sobriety, cannot make him completely defenseless.

Edward never found a safe time to pollute him, and this time the gods came down to undoubtedly be a good opportunity - the way of "decay" is completely unfamiliar to the gods of the earth, and the goddess of the night happens to have a power at this time, he can disguise pollution and curses as the effect of "calamity", there will always be a slight overlap in the higher levels of authority, and "decay" also happens to contain some images of death, who can accurately distinguish which one he comes from?

"The ceremony is complete." His voice rumbled, "Aren't you ready to do it?" ”

The good fortune and favor of the king of angels came, and a silver-white giant snake suddenly swam out of the corner of the dream world. The giant serpent's scarlet eyes faced the red moon in the sky, and its huge body coiled the entire city, and the giant mouth bit its tail, forming a closed loop of fate. - "Reboot! ”

The twinkle of the stars ceased for a moment, and the night that had fallen from the sky slowly returned to the sky. The filth receded, tranquility reigned over the quiet city, and everything returned to its original state, except for the life that had passed.

The demon opened his eyes on the ruins, and he was still human, his posture unchanged, except for something black in his hand.

Edward glanced at his pocket watch, and from the time he started to do it until he succeeded in escaping from the dream, and the second had gone all round, Tingen's fate had been greatly reversed in thirty seconds, without the nosy attention of the annoying soothsayer and the goddess of the night. Then, according to the original plan, if you successfully amplify your desires and evil thoughts and instigate everyone to kill each other, there should be no one here who can still breathe completely.

He quickly sank into the spiritual realm.

Ince Zangwill finally reined in his trembling hands.

He remembered this aura, and he did not dare to forget it, because he had solemnly sworn under the emblem of the goddess that he would never betray the Church and the people he wanted to protect, and then, with the encouragement of His Highness the Pope, promoted to Sequence 4.

And then...... And then he failed.

Ince Zangwill's fingers dug deep into the wall. He's failed, he's already failed once, so this time it's definitely going to be successful. It wasn't what he wanted, but there was no way back! The talent is not good enough, and his political achievements are only average, and his hard work has finally allowed him to accumulate enough merits and get the opportunity to become a demigod and a half-human.

But he failed, and he almost lost control in the process of promotion! A complete failure! I won't have a second chance! No! No! You can't do this to me! I work harder than anyone else! You can't dismiss me because of a failure! I still have a chance, and I still deserve to be trained! I'm loyal to the Church and the Goddess, I'm — damn it! No one listened to the hysterical rants of this loser at all, and the promotion that originally belonged to him was given to Illya, the woman...... Successfully completed the promotion! I also got the glorious title of "Goddess's Eye"! That position should have been his own, and such glory should have been his own!

He gasped for breath, his spirits were more exhilarating than ever, and his eye, which was not blind, was bloodshot and red as if it were about to drip blood.

0-08 glides happily across his notebook, as if dancing:

"After feeling the breath of the Goddess of the Night, Ince Zangwill was terrified, but he found that the Goddess did not notice his presence at all, and the Goddess of the Night maybe, probably, did not bother to kill him by the way!"

"Poor Ince Zangwill, he finally realizes that he is worthless, and it fills him with determination."

"Ince Zangwill has entered the ruins of the Black Thorn Security Company, everyone is still asleep, no one is awake, this is the perfect opportunity to take the holy relic. But something strange happened, how could a night watchman wake up? But Dunn is dead, and this weak man who only has Sequence 8 can't stop the emotional Sequence 5."

"The Nightwatchman is dead. Ins Zanggerwell took the urn. Rejoice! You've finally earned a second chance to be promoted!"

On the mountain peak of the Godforsaken Land, in the depths of eternal darkness, the "Angel of Destiny" Ulorius, who was kneeling and praying with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked left and right in confusion. Countless chaotic symbols flowed through His eyes, and finally converged into silver-white symbols that were connected from end to end. The good fortune of this life melted like snow in the sun at an unimaginable speed, and the twelve pairs of pale wings spread out, and Ulorius's eyes lost their brightness, and he closed his eyes, and his face fell down peacefully.

Immaculate wings and feathers covered his body, and the loss of too much luck at once was a bad omen, and in order to prevent it from affecting the Lord and what came after, He immediately began the next fate.

The body of the "Angel of Destiny" Ulorius quickly lost its vitality and became one of the countless beautiful snake moults.
