Chapter Ninety-Eight: So, You're Brave
296
On Friday, a new day, Crane slept until he woke up naturally, got up slowly, washed up and went downstairs.
He did not rush to prepare breakfast, but habitually opened the door, bathed in mist, and took out today's newspaper from the newspaper box.
As soon as he opened the newspaper, he saw this headline:
"The Aurora stronghold has been discovered, and the terrorist organization has suffered a heavy blow! 》
"I hope Mr. A dies in this encirclement." Crane solemnly drew a crimson moon on his chest.
"What's that?" Suddenly, he noticed that the newspaper was sandwiched in a thick envelope, and the weight was not too light.
Pinching the surface, the scent of the banknote flash through Crane's mind, and his spiritual instincts told him that it was a lot of cash.
He carefully unwrapped it and pulled out the stack of gold pounds.
After counting the bills, he confirmed that there were 1,000 pounds in total.
"It's a bounty from the Heart of the Machine...... Is this what they call secret giving? Why are they so reassured? Just put it in the letter box? What if it's stolen? Crane couldn't help but complain.
With this money, his savings had reached a very staggering three thousand five hundred pounds, not only could he pay his Sequence 6 potions material money in full, but he could also have a balance of more than a thousand pounds, enough for him to worry about his livelihood for a long time.
He can go to the vampire Emlyn White now and complete the deal!
Without further ado, his "magician" potion has just been digested, and he can immediately prepare for promotion-related matters. After breakfast, Crane immediately put on his coat, put on his hat, picked up his cane, and went out with a newspaper.
He prepares to head to the Harvest Chapel and ask the vampire Emlyn if he has found the promotion materials he needs.
On his way to the public carriage station, he saw the landlord, Mrs. Starlene Summer, directing the maid to load the suitcase into the carriage in front of the door.
"Good morning, Mrs. Summer." Seeing someone familiar, Crane smiled and said hello.
Starlene smiled reservedly and greeted back.
Crane asked curiously, "Where are you going?" ”
"It's almost New Year, Mary gave Luke a holiday in advance, and we plan to go to Didey Bay to welcome the new year."
Starling took the initiative to say: "Hey, we have been to several cities there, and the famous coastal town is the same, we are going to Fenerport this time, the scenery of Seville is said to be very good." ”
Crane responded cooperatively, "It's really enviable." ”
"What about you? Detective Moriarty, where are you going to spend the New Year? Starlene asked with a smile.
I'm likely to stay local...... By the way, I could have gone to Mr. Edward to pass the time and have a chat, she invited me to dinner several times, and although I didn't want to be paid, I was always happy to do so...... The corners of Crane's mouth turned up:
"Back to the sea, the winter there has a different taste."
Starlene's smile became more and more obvious:
"I hope to see you in the New Year in the future."

Medici sat on a single couch by the wall, looking left and right with his legs crossed, smacking his tongue at the overly decorative and elaborate decoration style of Intis 200 years ago.
"This look is to praise the decoration style of the Sun People."
Medici's gaze swept over the dazzling designs and lines, and he let out a loud boo: "But it's also a skill to be able to use gold so freshly and refinedly, and she should have been a craftsman in the first place!" ”
Sauron also booed the Medici loudly: "Yes, yes, and then the whole world began to praise the sun." I think the asymmetrical style looks the best, the great red angel heel is high and low, and they walk like a cripple! ”
The Red Angel laughed unconcernedly, "Don't talk like you didn't wear that style of shoe!" By the way, you shouldn't have been a little girl back then, how was it, how did the half-loose and half-tight corset feel? ”
"You ......," Sauron was amused, and did recall his short memory of a poor girl for two seconds, and said generously, "It feels good!" It feels better when you don't even need to bind your chest in the later stage, Medici, I can't think of a provocation that can be so low-level, gender doesn't mean anything to hunters, all we need is war, war and trampling! ”
"You specifically mentioned this, are you going to change your career to become a witch? So come and ask me for my opinion in advance? ”
"Don't take yourself too seriously, Sauron, when did I mean that?"
"You *** me *** hahaha!"
“*****! No, no, no, no, no, no, *****no, ”
“*******!”
“***! *,******! ”
“……”
Holding a hot water cup in his hand, Mr. X, with a weak face, asked the person next to him suspiciously, "Who is that?" I don't think I've seen it in the colony before. ”
"Why is he arguing with himself in two tones?"
“………… Yes. ”
The black-haired young man leaning against the wall next to the fireplace was stopped by the question, and there was nothing to say in his inscrutable smile. Amon pinched the socket of his right eye, and said to Mr. X with a calm and serious face:
"He's an unfortunate man, he's been hit a little bit after becoming extraordinary, his brain is broken, and now he's a severe schizophrenia, fantasizing that he has three personalities in his body, and his temper is worse than the other, and don't be too surprised if you see him start fighting left and right."
"I didn't expect it to be like this."
Mr. X's expression also became serious, and he drew an inverted cross on his chest with great emotion, and halfway through the drawing, he remembered that now the Lord had changed his gestures, so he drew a positive cross: "May he be redeemed under the Lord's gaze." ”
After speaking, he frowned again and looked at Amon suspiciously: "By the way, who are you?" I don't think I've seen you in the stronghold. ”
"It doesn't matter who I am."
Amon deceitfully stole Mr. X's sobriety by the way, and Louis Vane, who was not in good shape, immediately lost his consciousness and put down the mug in his hand with his last effort, and fell headlong on the sofa, snoring comfortably in a few seconds.
Seeing Medici arguing loudly with himself while walking around the living room for most of the time, passing by the Dark Sage who was counting casualties and losses, busy (Kersma, who had already learned her identity, took the time to salute), passing by the self-healing Mr. A who was squirming in the corner and repairing himself (by the way, he pinched two handfuls of Mr. A and said a few words), and was about to come to him, he snorted in displeasure, turned around and teleported to the second floor, ready to go back to his room.
The decorative candlesticks on the wall suddenly spontaneously combusted, and the flames fell to the carpet and soared on their own, and a figure turned out of the flames, and the red banner on the eyebrows of the black-haired and brown-eyed hunter stood out.
She raised her eyebrows: "The little crow is going back to the nest?" ”
It seems that escaping is sometimes useless, thought the doppelganger Amon. Since you are out of trouble, you will inevitably look up and not look down in the future, and there is no point in escaping. He decided to simply use this opportunity to create his own "Medici impression", so that he could think about how to treat her in the future, whether to treat her as the same as other things or people according to the style of the ontology, or to deal with the past casually according to his own preferences.
So he looked at the "Red Angel" carefully.
This is the first time I have seen myself, before he was caught, he was a sequence 4 clone no more than five hundred years old, and in the real Amun, he was a large number of passing line clones, belonging to the bottom of Amon's food chain, otherwise he would not have been dragged by the clone of sequence 3 to see what the demon that made Adam deflated look like.
Therefore, he did not see the Medici with his own eyes, he did not see the kingdom of heaven with his own eyes, he did not see Solomon with his own eyes, he did not see Arista, he did not see Trenthorst, Bethel with his own eyes...... Just knowing. Because these memories and impressions can be easily extracted from the ontological memory, but most of the time there is no need to be nostalgic. Time is always moving forward, the people of the past are either buried in the soil or buried in the ashes of history, it doesn't matter what is killed, anyway, Amon is everything, Amon is everything.
However.
Since the severance of the connection with the ontology, those memories that have not been carefully watched in the first place, like the boot animation that comes with the system, have become more and more foggy, and even become some crazy color blocks.
Gradually, he is no longer able to easily understand and view the memories of his body, which can cause him to lose control and even die.
Like an ordinary extraordinary, the world is full of dangers, an experience that Amon has never had in his memory.
So the doppelganger took a closer look at Medici and suddenly realized that she was actually very weak.
Very weak, although it is a combination of three evil spirits, its full strength should not be at all that of Sequence 2, not to mention that the three conquerors are definitely hostile to each other. Walking the earth in the body of a hunter demigod, death and the situation made her aware of her current situation, and she put her face behind that face, no longer laughing as wildly as she used to, showing off her fiery hair and knife-like eyes.
She was too weak, she knew she needed to disguise, she needed to hide, and then she only hurt people with sharp words. She provoked me, not only because it was her instinct, but also because she knew I wouldn't kill her.
The fearless flames of war actually had a cautious mind to avoid disaster in matters other than the battle, and death took away from her, and there were things other than life...... What's more, he can actually look down on her, which makes the doppelganger a little annoyed and a little unaccustomed. He thought that Medici should be very hostile to him, after all, her death could not be separated from the help of the main body, so he was almost ready to distance himself at any time.
It just so happens that he doesn't plan to have anything to do with her, can't the two of them just not disturb each other and do their own things?
"Why, you're so scared that you can't speak?" Medici wrapped his fingers around the black hair of his possessed body, and said to Amon in a strange tone, "Do you know what your body will say to me? ”
Amon pondered for a moment and asked shamelessly, "How do you answer?" ”
"Your expression is quite annoying. But I have a lot of adults, and I don't have the same knowledge as children. ”
Medici grinned: "Nine times out of ten, she will return the favor from the perspectives of 'boring', 'stupid', and 'nostalgic'. ”
"What would you say?"
I can understand boredom, stupidity can also be regarded as a kind of tooth for tooth, so what exactly does "nostalgia" mean...... Is it the name "Little Crow"? Amon carefully analyzes and thinks carefully, our most changing animal image is indeed a crow, and the adjective "small" can be regarded as just a contempt, so how did "nostalgia" come about? Did the word have any special meaning in the past? Expressing closeness? Or is it a reference to the history of the Glorious Age? But if there is such a special reaction to this title, then the ontology is actually ......
The doppelganger glanced at the direction of the study, thought for a moment, and replied cautiously:
"Do you still need to be nostalgic now?"
"I kind of understand what the ontology means, she's saying that you're still living in the past. Although you have experienced so much and died for almost 2,000 years, your memories have always stayed in the former kingdom of heaven, obsessed. ”
Medici raised an eyebrow.
Amon said seriously, "You have returned. ”
The black-haired hunter's face was visibly stunned, and Medici was surprised by the answer, and then let out a loud and hearty laugh. She smiled breathlessly as she reached out to touch Amon's head, and Amon immediately defrauded the space to dodge.
"Good, good! That's a good point! Little crow! ”
The hunter laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, and she wiped them away, no longer provocative in a sarcastic tone. The evil spirit straightened his back, and the momentum of his body suddenly changed, and when the container was not smiling or sneering, it seemed that it could have a bit of Medici charm.
"yes, I'm back."
The red angel raised the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath in intoxication, and a confident and arrogant smile appeared on this face again:
"The trimming is over, and the war is about to start again!"
"The Lord has returned, and I will surely be by her side again as a swordman. To hell with the damn Seven Gods this time! ”
Amon gave her a round of applause.
"And you boy, well, pleasing little crow."
Medici's words changed, and his expression gradually became evil: "I think you are much more likable than your body, do you want to come to my command as an adjutant, and when we turn around, we will join forces to hack her to death, and then let you be the body!" ”
"I refuse."
Amon replied, "You'd better start with Recovery Sequence 3 first." ”

At ten o'clock in the morning, all formalities and identification were ready, and the members of the Aurora Society were to move to a new temporary base, the "Faye Manor", more than a hundred miles southwest of Beckland.
The Dark Sage took the key from Edward's hand and gathered everyone together. Since the streets are now full of extraordinary and plainclothes policemen from the three major churches, searching everywhere for clues about the Aurora Society's personnel, and the procedures for leaving the city will also be monitored, it is impossible for the carriage to be transferred.
Fortunately, Faye Manor is also adjacent to East Tuckershire, and in order to create a normal relocation route, some people can be transferred from East Tuckershire, leaving a fair and honest movement trajectory and living in a logical manner, while most of the remaining people go in batches through the door seal.
Mr. X was woken up and became a door-opener in the middle of the lake.
It took more than two hours for the transfer of the Aurora Club people one after another, and the crowded living room and the second floor finally became empty again.
Edward snapped his fingers, and the demons and some of the ghosts in the cabinet were thrown out, and they did not need any instructions at all, and they consciously and skillfully completed the division of labor, and began to clean the carpet, discard the clutter, mop the floor, and do as meticulous as they can.
Amon sat on the handrail on the second floor, looked down at the servants on the first floor busy back and forth, and suddenly asked: "I remember that demons will derive their own abilities, and your ability is "trading", what was the unique ability of the angel of the Belial family before?" ”
"It seems to be a 'second life.'"
Edward replied disapprovingly, "But I don't know it accurately, because this ability should have been used against my filthy word, 'death.'" After all, we are angels of the same level, and the blessing of the Mother Tree of Desire only shields my sense of crisis. ”
"I see, you-"
Amon's words came to an abrupt halt.
He felt some kind of gaze come down suddenly, but it wasn't directed at him.
Amon watched as the usual smile on Edward's face vanished without a trace, the whites of her eyes turned black, a faint blue flame lit up in her eyes, her clothes seemed to be held up by something, and the skin under her sleeves glowed with a metallic black glow.
Slowly, slowly, she turned her head to look at a spot in the void, as if she was staring at something.
“…… Fools who do not belong to this era. ”
"The mysterious lord above the gray mist."
"The Yellow and Black King in charge of good fortune?"
After two seconds of silence, the outer god began to mumble to himself. Amon gasped, and the faint word "Source Fort" came out from between his teeth, and his figure quickly shrank, turning into an unobtrusive crow.
