"That's interesting."

Edward stepped out of the spirit realm and put on his coat. She turned around, and after making sure that the real Creator hadn't followed, she naturally blended into the crowd in the port of Enmat, like an ordinary gentleman going out for a walk after dinner.

She didn't use her top hat to limit her vision, she casually looked left and right, and there was a smile on her face.

"He saw the bishop of the night who had defected in the port of Enmat......"

"It's been so long since he's been caught, 0-08 is still on him. It shouldn't have been 0-08 who brought me here, I'm right here, do you dare to write 0-08? - It also has no reason to write about me, unless there is a higher level of narrator. ”

Long before the Great Smog, Adam or her "Dusk Hermit" tried to sow distraction in the fragile international relations of the Northern Continent, using the "devil's card" as a bait to lure Jason Beria into assassinating Duke Negan.

But in Edward's opinion, this is a scam at all, after all, not letting the "demon" give birth to a high sequence and a strong person should be the unspoken rule of the top of the extraordinary world, even if Jason Beria completes the task, it is nine times out of ten that he will be solved on the spot and completely wiped out.

I believe that those gods and gods are superstitious about the "trend of the times", and the "choice of fate" god stick might as well believe me, at least I will really give something when I am in a good mood - not to mention that "trend" and "choice" are all self-directed and self-performed by Adam, the leader of the god sticks, she has written everything hundreds of years and thousands of years ago, and in the eyes of other god sticks, it is natural to follow her words and control everything.

"It's not interesting."

"If it was the kind of doctrine of the past, 'the fate of all things was predestined at the birth of this universe,' I would be interested in learning about it...... Is Adam throwing out the 'Devil' card now to attract me because he feels that the current 'zeitgeist' has completely deviated and will simply start a new chapter, or does he think that there is still a chance to break the zeitgeist back after killing me? ”

Edward thought about it for a moment and then gave up, she didn't plan to learn the way of thinking of a godstick.

In addition to recovering the "demon card", even if it is to touch 0-08, it is worth running by yourself.

"It's a good thing if you can die by the way—" She looked at the eye hidden in her shadow, and didn't say it, but she was sure that the true Creator would have thought of it too.

Edward wasn't very worried about Adam being around him, and if she did come, he would beat her with his fists until she left. There is no high sequence in the entire port of Enmat that can kill her, and the audience's set of psychic fanning and hypnotic suggestion is useless.

"Anyway, why don't you eat first?"

The weather is getting warmer, and the sky in the northern continent is not yet dark.

The streets are a jumble of fish and dragons, and they take on a chaotic color in the eyes of the demons.

At a glance, Edward could discern the approximate lives of the people who were still worth eating—for example, the landlady who ran a tailor shop seemed to be a brilliant pirate, and at least ten people died at her hands. The man who was carrying goods for a ship was a fugitive, and the bald man who passed by was a loan shark and seemed to have killed quite a few people, and resentment and guilt hung brightly on him. Judging from the degree of its sins and desires alone, it is not bad, but it is too bad to be served.

In addition to this, there are also thieves and petty murderers who are not eye-catching, and aristocrats who can only eat occasionally...... Aristocrats are born with their own logos, and it is easy to see at a glance, because it is rare for someone to carry so many resentments at such a young age. In addition to the more vivid black, most people are more ordinary gray, and they are ordinary people who are good or bad.

These chaotic ordinary people gathered together, bustling, and walked like patches of colorful haze.

The evil people around seem to be slowly increasing, the demons are here, and ordinary people will also be affected and imperceptibly produce evil thoughts.

If Edward had stayed here for a few more days, the security of the port of Emmatt would have been in vain.

The demon's gaze casually swept over the people nearby, and he wondered with interest whether to eat a few people and fight the tooth sacrifice or do nothing and wait for the holder of the "Demon Card" to come to the door. One by one, she looked at the people who could be put on the table, and suddenly, she met the eyes of the crowd.

Edward, acting by accident, looked away and walked to the side of the street. But the other party seemed to stare at him without blinking, and there was always a gaze on him.

So she turned her head back again, smiled and greeted the owner of the turquoise eyes: "Hello? ”

The green-eyed young man didn't seem to feel that it was rude to look directly at people all the time in Rune, and his expression was unusually serious, even to the point of some nervousness, fear, anger, suspicion...... When did I create a victim?

Considering that he would not remember any of the victims, Edward did not think much about it, nor was he in a hurry, and waited with a smile as the other party took out some weapon from his arms to give him a blow, or took out some signal flare and threw it into the sky. After all, this young man seemed to be a mid-sequence extraordinary, with a gun and an extraordinary spiritual object on his body, and he was either a member of the Secret Order, or—she noticed the other man's hand hidden in his pocket—oh, it turned out to be the "Red Glove" of the Night Church.

To arrest the defector bishop?

Just as she was about to leave, the green-eyed young man suddenly spoke, and his voice was low, reaching her ears directly.

"It's you." He whispered, "Who are you?" ”

Edward raised an eyebrow, then nodded approvingly, "Looks like you know me, and there are people around you who know me - someone told you you can't remember my face and name because you're afraid I'll notice?" ”

The young man was silent.

"Then how did you notice me, is the person who instructed you nearby?" Edward looked around casually, not feeling any special emotion, and the premonition of crisis did not react, so she turned her gaze back to the young man, and said with a smile:

"Also, don't recite the name of the goddess of the night in your heart."

Leonard Mitchell was horrified, he immediately stopped thinking about moving the soldiers, and he did not foolishly try to provoke the other party with his spiritual bullets and weapons, he never expected to run into them by chance while searching for Ince Zangwill, as the old man suddenly disappeared was enough to prove the problem. Even in the face of the note "Amon is coming", the old man just gasped.

From this perspective, Leonard confirms that the unknown mastermind behind it is somehow more dangerous than Amon.

He clenched his palms in cold sweat, feeling cold and wet in his gloves.

"Tingen."

Anyway, there is no such thing as a safe distance in front of such a strong person, and I don't know if the other party will directly kill him on a whim, Leonard simply took a step forward, stood in front of the other party, gritted his teeth and said:

"Do you remember Tingen? You killed ...... there"

"Four thousand three hundred and fifty-one."

Edward added: "So? Are you here for revenge? For whom do you, family, friends, or relatives? ”

Four thousand three hundred and fifty-one? So many people? Leonard suddenly got stuck on this number, and the church gave a statistic of more than 3,800 people, and the specific number cannot be estimated...... Are there still so many people? Are there so many people who don't even notice the church?

“…… You killed so many people, and you didn't have any emotions at all? ”

Leonard quickly came back to his senses, put the matter of numbers behind him for a moment, and said angrily: "The birth of the true Creator's heir there, it takes a great deal of negativity to mature, and you have sacrificed more than 4,000 people for it!" ”

Edward touched his chin suspiciously, and said:

"So what? What the hell are you here for? ”

"If you're just here to express your dissatisfaction, there's pen and paper at the newsstand next to you, and you can leave after you've finished writing."

Leonard was stunned again.

The other party's reaction was expected by him, and it was completely unexpected by him. He only understands the old man as a divine creature, and the old man will sneer, ridicule himself, and point out himself, so Leonard always feels that even if he becomes a divine creature, he should retain a little bit of his own humanity and emotion, but like the madness brought by potions, he needs to be vigilant and confrontational at all times.

In the face of this high-order powerhouse who openly cut the table with humans and talked about humans in the tone of talking about animals or insects, Leonard was speechless for a moment - many people will not scald ants with boiling water or stomp on the ant colony because of their curiosity, but even if they do? Would anyone feel that they are ants and be furious at this act and even want to avenge the ants?

In this case, Leonard suddenly felt that his anger was meaningless, and others didn't even bother to kill him, looking at him was like watching an ant with teeth and claws waving its tentacles at his feet.

But I'm human, I'm one of the ants that have been trampled to death, how can I not be angry about it!

"It's okay, I understand you, you're human, and it's definitely sad to see your fellow citizens being killed so casually."

The demon said to Leonard quite gently, quite understandingly, and a few words quietly turned the anger in Leonard's heart into a daze, like a tai chi, and then, without waiting for Leonard to speak, she added:

"Who are you here to accuse me of? Your significant other? ”

Leonard was led to think, he found a chance to speak, and immediately said:

"More than 4,000 innocent people who died in Tingen."

"Is there anyone you know inside?"

Yes? Belch...... Leonard thought carefully for a long time, as if he knew only two people who had died in the disaster in Tingen, one was the captain, but Dunn Smith, who had returned to them, seemed to be the same as when he was alive. The other is his companion Cleon Moretti, but the other party is a member of the Secret Organization, and he may have another purpose to escape by death and join the night watch......

Leonard frowned:

“…… Even if they didn't, wouldn't their deaths be worth my anger, grief, and hatred for you? ”

The smile on Edward's face widened, and she touched her chin, thinking seriously for a moment:

"I remember that most of the people I killed were in the lower streets, that is, the slums."

She looked at Leonard, aggressive like a snake with fangs: "So these people I killed, before they died, did you care?" Do you know their names? Since you don't know, since you don't care at all, why do you come to question me with false compassion? ”

"It's not! I've been down the street, I'm ......" Leonard was momentarily speechless.

She looked at Leonadel and suddenly smiled:

"You must have someone important killed by me, right?"

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible to name a single victim out of the 4,000 people."

"In that case, then don't use the 4,000 people who have never been cared about by you as a shield, they will not die at my hands, but will die in sickness, hunger, sickness, and poverty, why don't you say that I gave them a merciful death?"

"How dare you say that they don't want to die? How do you assess whether they are suffering in life or in death? ”

Who is more painful, dead or alive?

That...... Should be...... Death, right?

Leonard tried to retort, but he couldn't seem to make a sound anyway.

He suddenly thought of the family that he had gone to investigate with Crane a long time ago, the hostess could only earn a few pennies from morning till night, and she wouldn't be able to do this kind of work for long, and her eyes would be broken, how long could she do the work of the lake matchbox? So what can she do when her eyes are broken? …… They don't have a job, and even if they die, they don't get compensation, but they still lack another source of income, what happened to them...... And in the East Side, how many of the people who were killed by the smog felt more relief and relief than pain when death came?

Why did he think that death must be painful?

Because I grew up in an orphanage in the church, but I have always lived happily?

After saying these cold, sword-like words, Edward put on her most skillful and gentle smile, and she approached Leonard, who was a little sluggish from the huge impact, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke softly:

"You're the 'Red Glove' of the Night Church, and you're here to arrest your traitors? …… Did you know that from the very beginning, 0-08 was released from the underground sealing room by your goddess? ”

Leonard's hole shrank suddenly, and he looked up in disbelief at the staring black eyes that were close to him.

The demon chuckled in a low voice, "Otherwise, how could a waste who had failed even promotion sequence 4 calmly leave the underground sealing room of the main church where you were heavily guarded and where the angels were sitting, with a level 0 seal?" ”

After saying the words with a smile, she shook her head again, as if she was really sighing:

"How pitiful, you stupid, righteous people, how much manpower and material resources have been expended to bring back 0-08? How many church members and innocent people have died as a result? How sad it would be if they knew that their tragedy had been acquiesced by God from the beginning! ”

"You!"

Leonard was almost so frightened that he was a little angry, he didn't believe it, of course he didn't! This is the demon's demagoguery, which is tempting him to fall, to blaspheme, to betray his faith! Leonard almost jumped up, and he said angrily:

"Say no more! Do not blaspheme the goddess in front of me! ”

"There's no way I can trust you!

”

After the outburst, he suddenly realized that his voice and reaction were a little excessive, and quickly looked around, only to find that all the people were walking and living normally, as if they couldn't see the small area where they were.

If I were killed, no one would find out.

The thought popped into Leonard's head.

She could have killed me directly, but still talked so much to me, just to deceive me?

"Haha, I admire your faith, because I am a cold and cruel person who will not give trusting anything without interest."

The demon casually praised Leonard, and in this way, he once again dispelled some of the anger and hostility rising in Leonard's heart with his words:

"I don't expect you to believe it. Well, I'll tell you a story. ”

She lowered her voice and said: "0-08 is an important item that a high-sequence extraordinary person needs, and your goddess of the night has cooperated with the other party, so as a reward, you have to give 0-08 to this high-sequence powerhouse." ”

"It can't be."

Leonard shook his head very firmly: "Everything in the church belongs to God, if the goddess wants to give something to others, there are so many ways, there is no need to use this way at all!" And find a defector to steal? It's just troublesome! Even have to find a defected bishop to steal the seal, and after such a big circle, haven't the things been delivered yet? ”

"Because it's a private deal for them."

Edward smiled slightly, and made an analogy with kindness: "It's like you and I both have a crush on the goods in a store, and your financial resources are not as good as mine, but you happen to have what the owner needs, so you are willing to sell it to you at a low price—in this case, would you be stupid to come to the store and bid with me?" What if I bid too high and the owner changes his mind? Of course, it's better to secretly trade with the shopkeeper in private. ”

"That's not possible." Leonard still wasn't convinced.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, the strong man is about to come and get 0-08." Edward disagreed, "You'll have to watch and see if Ince Zangwill will be killed by 0-08, and see if someone else will come and take this item." ”

Even if Adam doesn't come, I can pick it up!

Besides, how could Adam not come? They've been preparing for so long.

Seeing that Edward said so firmly, Leonard couldn't help but be a little suspicious, but the suspicion only appeared for a few seconds before he threw it out of his mind, and even confessed to the goddess for believing in the temptation of the devil and atoning for his sins.

"Then again, do you hate me? Do you hate me, or do you 'have beings who can knead human life at will'? ”

What's the problem?

Without thinking, Leonard replied, "What I hate is people like you who kill innocent people for their own purposes." ”

"Well, so is the Seven Gods."

"Don't spew blood! The gods have fought off monsters and sheltered humanity from disasters for thousands of years! ”

"Then this is so strange, why is the history of the Quaternary period broken? Why did all the people in the last epoch die? Are all the ruins going to be destroyed? Edward replied casually, "Because the people of the last era did not trust God." God was afraid of them. ”

Nonsense! Leonard was just about to refute when the underground ruins of the Pound family suddenly flashed in his mind.

At present, the academic research on the Quaternary can be said to be pitiful, and it is not easy to find a relatively well-preserved remains of the Quaternary in the city of Beckland. Just when he thought he was going to go into the archaeological exploration, the church completely destroyed it.

How can God be afraid of man?

It is clear that God maintains the normal operation of society, it is God who brings people a normal life and dignity, and God loves the world!

“…… This doesn't mean much, after all, ungodly people are a danger to society. He held on.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, I don't need you to believe me."

Edward glanced at the wall clock in the distance, then at Leonard's red gloves, and said with a smile again:

"Wait until 0-08 is picked up by the scheduled customer, and you can think about it again."

"Think about it, do you hate me, or do you hate the strong who kills innocents, and hate yourself who is not strong enough. Otherwise, according to your logic, the goddess of the night who released 0-08 to make people lose their lives - it is the same existence. ”

"You! You ......" Leonard was almost angry, but before he could make a good speech, Edward pushed Leonard to the side, walked into the distance, and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Leonard, of course, was not stupid enough to catch up, he stood there for a while, then went in the opposite direction, and after walking for a long time, he heard an old voice in his head cough.

"Old man, the devil's words are terrifying."

Leonard was angry and heartfelt: "It's just full of lies, I can't believe a word, you're right, next time I will absolutely, I will never get close to the demon again!" ”

Listening to Leonard's self-hypnotic words, Pales sneered softly.

I'm pigeon, I'm pretending.

A long time ago, "Guess who will be bumped into by the old love in the future and listen to the devil's reasoning to doubt life" decryption, everyone basically guessed that it was Audrey, but it was actually Leonard.
