871

After a lapse of time—it didn't take long for Amon to set foot on the land of the Eastern Continent again.

The sun above him was a little hot, but the shadow of death was a constant reminder of the end of his journey.

Go to Chernobyl, and He thinks so to himself, or someone says in His ear, your father (I) came out there, and now He (I) is waiting for you there, so you must go back and come back to Him (me).

God's forsaken land, he really wants to continue to call it God's forsaken land, after all, the god who cares for this place is still dead, long dead, for Amun, as long as it is not for the ancient sun god to visit the Eastern Continent, then the people here are all abandoned by God.

Of course, only He would think so, and now the people of the Eastern Continent have received the attention of the "fools", they have sunshine, and they also have all kinds of safe and healthy food. The "Fool" is also about to fulfill his promise of salvation, and the vast land in the north of the Northern Continent has almost been taken into his pocket, which is the new home of the descendants of the giants in the outside world, and will soon become the new home of Silver City and Moon City.

Although he was running towards death, Amon had no choice, so he maintained a relatively even speed.

After walking for a while away from the ruins of the Giant's Court, Amon saw traces of human activity.

After seeing the camp that was unique to the Eastern Continent, Amon immediately remembered a lot of things - walking by and taking a lantern or two, or touching something from the camp was already the gentlest thing, he had stolen the lights of an entire city-state that had converted to the true creator overnight, listened to the intermittent screams and all kinds of cries in the darkness, and watched the pagans who had abandoned the ancient sun god in it under the "shadows", monsters and secrets, and in less than a minute there was no one alive.

The true Creator will not save you, Amon playfully thought, he is already mad and cannot protect himself.

He will only use whispers to convert you, to get your supposed salvation in the illusion, and finally to go crazy. When all the people are crazy, there will naturally be no pain and despair of surviving in the dark.

In this way, after walking slowly for a while, Amon saw the afternoon town camp of Silver City, which had been built from abandoned buildings.

Behind the barrier of boulders and stone pillars, the bonfire burned quietly. Under the illumination of this light, the members of the Silver City exploration team were either patrolling or guarding to prevent accidents.

This reminded Amon of the city-state, of Moon City, of his doppelganger and Klein's experience on the Eastern Continent.

After the true creator ceased to exist, the people here were handed over to the "Fool", that is, Klein Moretti.

To be honest, Amon was shocked when he first learned of this information.

Because he didn't believe that the traitor Sasriel would still want to find a home for these remnants of the human beings in the Eastern Continent, even if it was an anchor that the other party used to win over the "fools", even if it was just a pretense to hand over those believers and humans as objects, but wouldn't the result be a chance for these people to live? Acknowledging that Sasriel really wants to save these people, not a unilateral temptation to fall, is really trying to seize something, save something, just like denying his previous actions.

It's like admitting that what you did before was just a meaningless vent of anger and personal grudges.

Amon was not happy to see this.

It is true that He has no morality, He can be unbound by morality, He can kill if He wants, and there is no need to find any reason.

But Amun thinks he is dealing with these traitors from the position of the ancient sun god...... But there was nothing he really cared about, and even though his father might have been more in favor of the true Creator's ideas, it didn't prevent Amun from hating them.

Amon could do whatever he wanted, because the sun god would not criticize him.

So he decided to completely let the survivors of the Eastern Continent disappear completely, but he didn't want to give them a good time, so he parasitized these people gradually, allowing the symbol of the monocle to spread like pollution, bringing countless horrors, and finally completely engulfing the two city-states.

After all this, it was true that Amon was in a good mood, as he had done every time he had dealt with a betrayer in the past.

But......

"What's that?"

In the afternoon town camp not far ahead, a "Knight of Dawn" with a height of nearly two meters and three meters was standing on top of the barrier, looking into the distance.

After the sun cleared most of the dangers, the mortality rate of the people was greatly reduced, and the food sources of many monsters were reduced, and they now had to guard against only some of the monsters that came out to feed during the day. But even so, these fighters will not slack off.

Suddenly, he saw a humanoid figure approaching in the distance.

It was ...... "Knight of Dawn" whose eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he thought of something, and his mood was slightly excited.

The people who wore completely different costumes from the style of Silver City and Moon City, and the people who were able to walk freely in the Eastern Continent, there were only two oracles of the "Fool" in the records, or His Royal Highness Stifer, the "Angel of the Divine Word" who was uncertain and sometimes helped them, and sometimes was hostile to them, and looked a little mentally abnormal. At this moment, a stranger who obviously did not belong to the Eastern Continent appeared, which had to make the "Dawn Knight" feel inexplicably excited in his heart, thinking about whether it was the return of the divine envoy and preparing to take the second group of people to the outside world.

But didn't the first people just leave? It's only been a week, is that time really enough for them to build their next place to live in the outside world? And most importantly, is that really a "divine messenger"? "Dawn Knight" has a lot of thoughts.

Immediately after, the thought in his mind vanished.

Amun, who had stolen the idea, was a little surprised, and for the first time he felt that something was wrong with the "idea" he had stolen. He felt as if he had stolen a set of iterations of data, not like a person's mind.

It is difficult for people other than Amon to understand the mysterious thing of "feel", but Amon clearly feels that the human in front of him does not seem to be a real human, but a flesh and blood perfectly simulated with memory, data and spirituality, they still have extraordinary characteristics, and they are also programmed into the calculated lifespan, they are not real humans, but a bit like spiritual creatures.

Amon pondered for a moment, and when he looked up at these people again, there was no interest in his eyes.

"It's all dead......

The god of deception pinched his monocle thoughtfully, and the corners of his mouth curled in pleasure: "I see, I thought it was a 'miracle' of resurrection...... Heh, it seems that even the Source Fort can't accomplish such a big miracle. ”

"I was still thinking about why you still appeared alive when I killed you all and parasitized you. At that time, the source castle was obviously still in my hands. I originally thought that some of you should be resurrected by a 'miracle', and there should be a secret puppet among you, and there should also be the creation of that demon of knowledge, so I also planned to rebel against you, so that you realize that the family, friends, and relatives who accompany you are all the dreams of the 'fool', but I didn't expect that you are actually the product of 'reproduction', so there is no point in deception. ”

Amon laughed, directly deceived the distance, passed through the afternoon town camp, and directly reached the front of Silver City.

He looked at the "people" who came and went in the city, at the "people" who patrolled back and forth on the city walls, at the "people" who were eating, at resting, at the "people" who were playing musical instruments and singing hymns in praise of the Creator, at the smiling "people" who were collecting food...... Amon looked at these people, at these resurrected "people", the data of this group of living dragons, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually expanded:

"Klein, you should know what your followers are, right? But you still decided to protect them and treat them as if they were real people, and it seems that you are better than me at deceiving yourself. ”

"Kill them again? It's not impossible. I really intended to do so, but Crane should be merging the Oneness now, and it is impossible to clearly feel my actions, and when he wakes up, the Demon of Knowledge will definitely make up for all the 'people' I have killed, so I don't need to do it. ”

Amon pinched his right eye socket and walked towards the east.

……

The next day, Saturday.

The gray of the sky seemed to be thicker, and no one spoke in the house where Moretti's house was for a long time.

After returning from work at noon, Benson stood behind the bay window with a solemn expression, looking at the pedestrians hurrying outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

Melissa sat on the couch beside the coffee table, her head bowed, and looked at the rudimentary machines she had made, as if they had been transformed into statues.

"Phew, anyway, the Thunder Church is actively maintaining order, and the two batches of relief food from Fenerport are gradually getting society back on track." Benson exhaled, touched his hairline, looked back, and smiled reluctantly, "Either way, Beckland is definitely safer than most." Melissa, take a break, don't you have social practice activities in the afternoon? ”

Melissa did not look up, and said in a somewhat ethereal voice:

"Klein got a good job, and our lives gradually improved, but as a result, an accident took him ......"

"We moved out of Tingen and got ready to start a new life, you got the desired position as a government employee, I entered the university and started on the right path, and as a result, the war broke out......"

"We managed to adapt to this environment and prayed for an early end to the war, and as a result, the emperor was blown up and killed......"

"Finally, the order stabilized a little, and the Church of Thunder began to maintain the country, and as a result, the evil god took away Crane's soul, the church of the goddess disappeared, and we lost our faith and had to convert to the god of thunder......"

Speaking of this, Melissa slowly raised her head, looked at her brother with a confused gaze and said:

"Benson, is it just a little better than ever, so hard to get and maintain?"

Benson was speechless for a while, he looked at his sister's confused and sad eyes, and the eldest brother, who had carried the family early and had always been a reliable and optimistic family pillar in front of his younger siblings, also fell silent.

"I'm sorry." After a deathly silence, Melissa whispered.

"You don't have to apologize, Melissa." Ben Sen pulled himself together and smiled, "None of us did anything wrong, but life and fate are like this, and bad luck always follows one after another. …… Forget it, don't talk about this, do you want to sleep for a while? Or a snack? ”

"No, I'll go back to my room right away."

Melissa stood up quietly, her head bowed, and walked to her room in a low mood. She put her hand on the doorknob and, after a moment, whispered to Benson:

"Benson, the professors at Thunder Church want us all converted, and they don't seem to plan to continue admitting female students. Benson, I'm so worried, I finally got into college, if I change to the God of Thunder, will I be expelled from school? ”

"No, Melissa, don't scare yourself."

Benson was also taken aback by his sister's statement, he was a little nervous, but he couldn't behave nervously in front of his sister after all, which would make the bad mood further infect his sister. He quickly used his eloquence to appease his sister: "Don't be too nervous, Melissa, didn't the church issue an announcement to introduce the faith of the Mother Earth God Church?" ”

"I heard that Mother Earth God Church encourages fertility, work, and women's study, maybe we can choose to convert to Mother Earth God at that time, so that we should be able to continue our education. Haha, you're one of the first students at Beckland University of Technology, and there's no way you're going to be fired. ”

Melissa listened quietly to Benson's words, she didn't say anything, just nodded and went into the house to rest.

The two were at home for less than two hours at noon, so they didn't turn on the gas for heating. Benson came to the couch with a blanket in his arms, closed his eyes in the room that was getting colder, and tried to take a nap, but couldn't sleep.

A noon passed like this.

In the afternoon, he returned to work with a tired and depressed mood.

Benson worked diligently, constantly shifting his attention from one document to another, dealing with the events at hand with the same efficiency as ever. So far, the unabated salaries of government employees have been his greatest psychological consolation, and he desperately needs to cover up his uneasiness and powerlessness in the turbulent reality with his busy work.

During the occasional break, he walked into the lounge with a mellow cup of coffee, ready to smoke a cigarette to relieve his mood.

As soon as he entered, he heard his colleagues whispering to each other.

"Have you heard? The young lady of the Hall family seems to have left home, and the Hall family claims that she is engaged, so she has left the family...... "This colleague Benson is not very familiar, but it seems that he is the son of a small aristocratic family who does not inherit the title and family property, so he also knows more about things between nobles," ...... It seems that Miss Hall only came of age last year, and she is not yet 20 years old this year, and she doesn't know where she got married...... She was so favored that she thought that the wedding would definitely be held with great fanfare, but it ended like this. ”

Speaking of this, he laughed a few times and teased: "Maybe there is something hidden." ”

"I also seem to have the impression that the young lady you are talking about, is it the one who opened the foundation?" There are still many people who love gossip, and another colleague who was smoking a cigarette immediately answered with great interest, "During this time, hasn't the church exposed many scandals in the royal family?" Maybe something happened to this Miss Hall, and she was sent away in a hurry by her family. ”

With these unreasonable speculations, a group of people discussed enthusiastically,

Uninterested, Benson slowly closed the door and prepared to head to the other break rooms. At this moment, several security guards and police inspector-like people passed by him, and they discussed secrets in another sense in a low voice:

"Have you heard? There seems to be a lot of strange things going on in Becklandry. ”

"Someone will wake up from falling asleep and find themselves in another place, a strange city."

Curious about this kind of thing, Benson followed the two colleagues and listened to them continue, "Yes! I heard that in that city, there is a church of evil gods in the open air, but no one knows which evil god it is. ”

"I've also heard that people have seen dead people there...... There was a man who had died of his fiancée, and when he woke up, he found that he had arrived in that city, and he saw his fiancée working in the company in a good manner! It's just that he didn't have time to do anything, and he fell asleep again. ”

"There is such a thing...... "Another man was horrified.

Being able to see people who have died...... Benson's fists clenched violently, which reminded him of something bad, and he didn't want to listen any longer, and immediately turned away and entered a quiet break room.

The men were still whispering:

"In those secret gatherings, some people have begun to spread demon-related beliefs again."

"The Church Should Be Regulated, But ......"

“…… Who knows what form those damn temptations will take this time? If we want to get rid of the demonic faith, I think we need to shut down that food factory first! Do you know how many people die there every day? ”

"Up to ten, at least two months without casualties."

Another person asked, "Do you know how much tax the food factory pays to the church each month?" ”

The person who spoke paused for a moment: "I don't know. His attitude remained tough: "But I think they're the real demons!" If we want to protect the people of Beckland, we should first seize this property and then take it back to the church! ”

"Save it." Another person added, "If you look closely, they offer nearly a thousand jobs......

There was a pause in the conversation, and the two extraordinary members of the church whispered and walked away.
