789

In the Hall family's luxurious mansion, a family of three dined in silence.

The Countess cut the beef on her plate with a silver-encrusted knife and fork, and when she saw the maid waiting by the door with a snack, she subconsciously smiled and looked at the chair beside her.

It was empty, and there was no figure of her lovely little daughter.

Lady Caitlin's movements also caught the attention of Earl Hall and Hibbert, and the knives and forks in their hands paused in unison, and under their gaze, Lady Caitlyn suddenly burst into tears.

"Mother's ......"

Hibbert spoke softly, but didn't know how to comfort the sobbing Lady Caitlin.

Unknowingly, within two years, such a huge change occurred in the whole world, the originally happy and beautiful family was broken and collapsed step by step, and now, he has become the last child who is still with his parents.

Hibbert, who was still a little frivolous and was judged by Earl Hall to be politically insensitive enough, was forced to grow up, and after the departure of his dear sister Audrey, Hibbert clearly felt that his father and mother seemed to be getting old again.

"Audrey, my little angel......"

Lady Caitlyn wiped her tears with a handkerchief:

"She's only nineteen...... Even Rune didn't leave a few times, so he had to leave the house, leave us, and go to Intis alone......"

"There are no backers, no elders, not even a friendly family with whom we have a contract...... My Audrey, I don't know if I'll ever see her again......"

Hibbert could not bear to continue listening, and he opened his mouth to comfort his mother:

"There is no marriage contract, but the young lady of the Montmar family is willing to take care of Audrey as if she were her own sister, and that family is more powerful than any of our other relatives there! …… Mother, maybe we shouldn't be so worried, Audrey is smart. ”

"No matter how smart she is, she's just a child who is not yet twenty years old."

Hibbert didn't say it was okay, but as soon as he said it, Lady Caitlin's tears suddenly fell again:

"Audrey's friends around her are all good boys, and the Hall family has enough capital to reject unscrupulous suitors, even the prince of the former royal Augustus family can refuse politely, where has Audrey seen those real sinister hearts?"

Hibbert finally fell silent.

There was one thing that Hibbert and Earl Hall knew.

That's Audrey - too simple and kind.

His sister Audrey Hall is often praised for her beauty and kindness, rather than intelligence and political sensitivity. Audrey's usual social activities consisted only of afternoon tea with friends, hunting, and parties, and occasionally attended aristocratic gatherings, and was taken to the lounge by her mother because she was a young unmarried girl, and did not participate in the discussion of politics and current affairs among powerful men.

The charitable foundation was an opportunity for Audrey to be in direct contact with the outside world and to accumulate fame for herself, and Audrey obviously gained some growth, but was soon affected by the war and was limited in the number of times she went out.

In this way, Audrey lost an important channel.

She witnessed the wounded directly because of the war. As a result, she showed her pity, and while gaining fame, Audrey also received a medium evaluation in the circle as "kind, but too simple and young" because she frequently sought the help of other nobles.

It can be said that Audrey grew up under their gaze, and although she was the focus at parties and a star and gem in the circles of high society, she did not really have the skills to make a living in the upper "little society".

If the war had not happened and the international relations of the Northern Continent were still peaceful, then Count Hall's method of cultivating his daughters would have been no problem at all, and he would even be admired and envied by other nobles. In the future, he will definitely raise his favorite little daughter like this, meet all her requirements, and finally choose one for her with his heart, or let Audrey choose a marriage partner she likes.

But now the situation—if Earl Hall had sensed the unrest between nations earlier, he might have given Audrey the same education as the heir, in order to prevent such an embarrassing situation.

After Count Hall decided to send Audrey to Intis, the family taught Audrey some knowledge about it.

But these ...... Obviously not enough.

Far from enough for a 19-year-old aristocratic girl with little social experience to survive in the turbulent power class, Audrey is also a bit of a strong character, if she really tries to fight for something, then she will definitely not be able to play those old guys, she will be torn to pieces.

"Audrey, poor Audrey, she didn't even take Anne with her, she had to leave alone in a pony carriage......"

Lady Caitlin's tears fell like beads of broken thread, and her husband and eldest son, in their grief and silence in their own thoughts, were probably the only mother, the only one in the room who really shed tears over her daughter's departure and her future fate.

"She's supposed to be in Byam by now, right? We also travelled by boat the year before and the route to Byam was quick and safe. ”

"I didn't expect the world to change after just one year."

She wiped away her tears and said to herself:

"Although I heard that there are cultists active there, but the Thunder Church's blow is so strong, and Audrey is in first class, she will definitely be fine...... How long would she have to wait in Byam for the Montmar family to respond? Will she write to me? Will Audrey be able to get used to the food there after arriving in Intis? …… Will she write to us? ”

"How cruel fate is to separate her from us...... My child, I really miss you......"

……

Bang!

Audrey punches the incoming Extraordinaire squad.

Her eyes were bright gold, and the moment the Thunder Church Extraordinaries were sent flying, they had already fallen into a dream, their bodies slamming to the ground like sacks of heavy potatoes, drenched in the rain.

"If the entire 'substitute punisher' team loses contact, it will soon attract nearby demigods......

Audrey reverts the dragonized arm to its original shape, the sleeves of her shirt torn apart and hanging from her arm.

She stared at the extraordinary beings who were lying on the ground, but in the end she still couldn't overcome her psychological barrier and couldn't kill them.

But she was also unprepared to let these extraordinary people go, and Audrey could see that there were some more things in them that extraordinary people should not have when they went on a mission, such as gold and silver jewelry...... She didn't want to think about what was going on, and she didn't have to.

Therefore, she arranged a nightmare for all of them.

They will become ordinary people in their dreams, chased by monsters, hunted by wild beasts, and killed by the extraordinary...... If there are no demigods to wake them up, they will always fall asleep, knowing that they have been killed from the outside world, or that they will collapse and die in nightmares.

"With them, I should be able to attract a demigod."

Audrey thought as she inflicted psychological invisibility on herself.

It is useless to only clean up these extraordinary, according to the foundation of the Church of the God of Thunder, even if only a third of the extraordinaries came, there were at least hundreds of people, dozens of experienced "substitute punisher" teams, it was too late to clean up the past one by one, not to mention that Audrey could not overcome the obstacle of killing people now, and she could not directly deprive the extraordinary people of the Orthodox God Church of life like this.

…… However, these people should be punished.

Rather than "adjudicating" their sins from a high vantage point, Audrey doesn't feel that being a demigod makes her qualified to look down on others, but she still feels that even if it is not a "ruling", they should be allowed to go through the same pain and suffering.

She lurks up and hides on street corners, making her way to the psychic islands of the surrounding civilians, giving them the psychological hint of "going to the shelter" while waiting for the demigods who will take the bait.

Half a minute later, Audrey heard a soft sound.

A flower cat appeared a few meters away on the wall, constantly sniffing the smells around it.

Under the influence of psychological stealth, the cat did not notice that there was a "manipulator" hiding in the immediate vicinity, it just walked back and forth on the wall a few times, constantly sniffing and sniffing, as if looking for something.

This cat......

From the audience's point of view, Audrey judged that the other party should be an extraordinary creature at the first sight of the cat!

Because she herself raised Susie, a Sequence 5 spectator dog, Susie often behaves very human, but with animal characteristics, and this flower cat shows a similar state to Susie. If Audrey remembers correctly, when the cat appeared, she glanced a few times at the extraordinary, who was lying in the distance, before she began to look around.

It's looking for me......

Just as Audrey was thinking about her next move, an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly appeared!

Audrey's doppelganger, who was walking through the world of the mind, suddenly noticed that a new island of the mind suddenly appeared around her.

Fortunately, she has been constantly searching for the survivors around her, giving guidance and comfort to others, otherwise she would never have noticed - just when her attention was focused on the flower cat in front of her, an island of her mind suddenly appeared out of thin air in close proximity, and she couldn't even touch it!

This means that the other person's sequence is higher than oneself and the heart is closed!

It's the enemy! Come prepared!

Audrey jerked back, and she saw a sword light slashing across her neck.

……

Airplanes!

Richard finally couldn't bear the requiem in his mind, he was forcibly knocked back into human form from the mythical creature, and it was a time when he was spiritually exhausted and could die uncontrollably at any moment.

And the space was completely dark, and behind the equally dying Night Pope there was an illusory figure, dressed in a cascading but uncomplicated black dress, dotted with countless starlight.

He was as huge as a mountain, with countless starlight on his head, and a pair of arms covered with dark short hair grew from his ribs and waist, but he had a beautiful and gentle face covered with a thin black veil.

His eyes seemed to condense the starry night sky, which was both peaceful and irrepressibly terrifying.

Two of His hands dragged a long scythe, while the rest were empty, as if lifting something invisible.

"Goddess of the Night"!

I want to die. Richard didn't even think of looking up at the goddess, for the wound in her chest and abdomen that had been cut open by the sickle would never heal, for her life-sustaining and rational spirituality had finally run out.

I want to die.

If I die, how many can you drag with me to bury me?

Richard didn't want to think about these desperate things, but he had been thinking about it since the beginning of the battle - he was so tired, even if he didn't want to admit it, he really felt tired in this world and didn't want to go on.

“……”

He decided to say something last.

"After you kill me......" Richard didn't have much more to say, or he already knew the answer, but there was still one last bit of motivation to ask the question, "What will you do with the people here?" ”

The "Goddess of the Night" did not answer Him, and neither did the Pope of the Night, their attitude speaks for itself.

“…… Indeed, I was stupid not to ask you this question. ”

Richard said to himself that he also had thoughts about killing all the people in the Northern Continent, but he was sure that these thoughts would only be thoughts, and he might be cold and disgusted and despise the people of the Northern Continent, but he would not be able to do such a thing in the end.

There's only one choice now.

"You don't have to do it."

Richard wiped the blood from his face and suddenly showed a sunny and cheerful smile: "I will kill myself." ”

"It doesn't matter if you take away my extraordinary traits when I'm dead, kill my people as you please, and whatever you do on this land."

He reached through the hole in his chest with a hand and grasped his heart as if it were painless.

The smile on Richard's face grew brighter:

"Do whatever you want—because you don't have much to live!"

Just as He was about to make a move, a door suddenly opened in the dark world, grabbed His shoulders, and dragged Him out.

TBC

——————

Bang!

Another house was sliced open, and Audrey's figure flew high and smashed into the wall a few meters away.

"I'm a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society!"

In the smoke and dust, Audrey, who had barely dodged the attacker's sword with the help of the dragon's physical fitness, said loudly. Through the dragon's eyes, she could clearly see that the person who came was a young man with red hair and green eyes, which was the most obvious sign of the Intith Sauron family!

Secondly, he is a high-sequence "hunter"!

The only reason why a saint who does not belong to the Church of the God of Thunder or Rune appears here is that the other party is the same as himself, and he is also a person who belongs to the Rite Sect and belongs to Richard's side!

At the same time, she also noticed that although the opponent's attack was rough and direct, destroying many houses along the way, they also selectively avoided the houses where the spiritual brilliance of the living people shone brightly.

If it is not a friend, it should not be like this at all.

Cha.

The great sword easily pierced into the masonry, and the hunter looked at her coldly:

"I haven't seen you."

Before the words fell, the tip of the sword came straight towards Audrey's front door! Audrey had no strength left to continue to hide, she simply did not dodge or dodge, and directly faced the shadow that was so fast that it was almost impossible to see and said:

"I'm a doctor in the Highlands! It's Mr. Richard's special 'audience'! ”

"I know His name, I know His dwelling, and I remember what He said to me!"

Swish!

The tip of the sword stopped no more than five centimeters in front of Audrey.

Wipe! The version just now is wrong, there is a duplicate! It may be that Amon launched an attack, and everyone should not have seen it!
