Section 19: The glimmer of the sandbank

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A weird and twisted world. ”

"It's going to be hopeless soon. Soon. ”

Middle East, somewhere.

A group of robed men and women descended suddenly. And in the next moment, he disappeared, and all the leaked information was completely converged and summarized in an instant, like a phantom of the world.

A bookish-looking young man from the Middle East stood in the center of the crowd, staring at the blazing sun at the top of the canopy. At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun raised a large amount of green smoke over the vast desert, and not far away, several thirsty camels were dying in the desert.

"I feel the pain of the world." I don't know why, the spiritual power in the world of reincarnation is always mostly female. The Spiritual Power of the Sandbank team is a perfectly curved adult woman, with a red mark on her eyebrows and gray stars shining in her eyes. "The world is tormented, ravaged, and it's about to fight back. Many ancient giants are being awakened one by one by the pan-consciousness of the world, and whether they are controlled by the world or not, they are hostile to all things. ”

"For everything?" The sandbank youth continued to gaze at the scorching sun above the heavenly dome. It's as if there is some secret hidden inside the sun.

"Oh, of course the poor world hates all things, but especially uninvited guests." He gets a response, from a middle-aged man with a small hat and an illusory donkey by his side. "Think about it, suddenly one day, a group of unmasked bandits rushed into their home, lifted the table, demolished the pillars, and beat the children. Or, my esteemed lord Bayi, do you think the owner of the house will bend his knees? ”

"So do you have any insight into that, Avanti." The youth's gaze shifted slightly. "As the wise man of the sandbank, do you have the power and responsibility to provide advice, or are you the donkey now?"

"Insights?" The middle-aged man gave a funny smile. "What insight can I have. Dear Lord Bayi, why don't you ask me how many stars there are in the sky, so that I can point out the donkey's tail to you, and say, "Behold, there are as many stars in the sky as there are hairs on the donkey's tail!" ”

"Your donkey has one hundred and thirty-seven hundred thousand four hundred hairs on its tail, and it moves up and down by a thousand every second. The number of stars we can observe in our visible range is 2,964,401, and there are many more light sources that are not directive. The young man replied lightly, then nodded.

"I see, there are only more than two million stars...... There should be 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, but now I can see and count 2.96 million. It seems that this world stage is not big enough for us to escape. ”

"You're as wise as ever, Lord Bayi." Avatar exaggeratedly took off her hat and saluted.

"I'm not Bayi, I'm Malik." The young man shook his head slightly. "And you're not Avanti, at least not the fairy tale Avanti who does good and punishes evilβ€”but we're in an awkward position like a donkey's tail. Twelve teams fight, and the sixth comes. The Survival Time Limit Mission, according to the Lord's description, will last until nearly a day after the arrival of the Middle-earth team - and Sandbar is not even qualified to be an enemy of Middle-earth. ”

"But we may not be qualified not to be enemies of Middle-earth." Whispers speak in the throat of the psychic. "Even if mortals have no intention of fighting the gods, the gods on a mission may not be willing to let go of the ants under their feet. And we don't know the needs and goals of the Middle-earth team, even if it is only in the process of testing, it may be easily wiped away like dust. ”

"The position of the Middle-earth team is unknown." Malik nodded slightly. "And the two strong teams of Celestial God and Demon have a high probability of being inherently hostile to the Central Continent team in order, and there is a high probability that they will be opposed to each other according to their names. The future is destined to be a mess that we can't peep into, and we can't discern it carefully. ”

"But the strong ought to dominate the weak, and the weak ought to obey the strong." A tall black man said in a deep voice. "Just as we obey you, if the Middle-earth team is destined to be invincible, then Sandbank should follow the path of Middle-earth, unless you intend to face death and fight them to the end."

"Strength needs proof." The captain of the sandbank team nodded. "And the road of our sandbar also needs to be practiced by ourselves."

"Let's see the world, and then we decide where we're going. Perhaps this world is worth saving, or perhaps this world is already filled with irreconcilable hatred. ”

"You've made your choice, Lord Bayi." Avanti mounted the donkey. "Look at your tone, don't you look like those hard-mouthed and soft-hearted kind-hearted young ladies? As long as the world is not irreconcilable, you are on the side of the world, so why don't you just do it and just say that you want to save the world? ”

"I'm not trying to save the world." The captain of the sandbank team shook his head slightly. "I'm just going to be on the side of Sandbar's interests. Also, I'm Malik, not Bayi, and I don't want to stress that anymore. ”

"You're a dead duck." The wise man in the story has pity in his eyes. "Why are you unwilling to accept a fate of deterioration that can at least be compromised. It's not a good thing to be Lord Bayi. At least, Master Bayi, it won't be [Ahura Mazda]. ”

The world was silent for a moment.

All the protective enchantments on the sandbank were wiped out in an instant, but something even larger, intangible, and hollow-like spread sharply outward with the sandbar captain as the core! All information within a radius of tens of kilometers was captured by the invisible vortex at this moment. The wind no longer flows, the temperature no longer makes sense, only pure light, vaguely constructed in the form of huge eagle wings and dragons!

Then, in an instant, it was all gone.

Malik covered the top half of his face, pressing the wriggling whiskers of light and amorphous flesh back into their original form. A new protective barrier was once again established in the surrounding area.

"I'm not Bayi." His gaze seemed to turn into a tentacle of hunting, wrapped around the neck of the wise man. "In this world, I would like to stress one last time. And if you recite that name the next time, you will be the one who will pay the price. ”

And the target captured by his eyes was still a playful expression.

"But how long can you hold on, Master Bayi." Avanti still used that title, and he didn't get any extra treatment for it.

"Good intentions do not always lead to good deeds, especially when the executor is unwilling and does not recognize his true self. Your compassion will betray all that you wish to protect at a point that you absolutely do not expect. ”

"Then we'll talk about that then." Malik did not respond directly.

He just looked for a random direction. Then, stride forward.

"Or, one of you, at that time, can stop the fate that I have guided."

Ahura Mazda. Zoroastrianism's highest belief is also a pole of the dualism of good and evil. Of course, in the mythological system, the good god will naturally defeat the evil god, which means that good and evil have become one.

Zhu Wen has been involved in this field, but she has not been deeply involved in this field. Her latent spiritual qualities prevented her from diving too deeply in this realm. Because of the duality of good and evil, there is a very fatal shortcoming compared to the Orientals.

Orientals like to compromise. The golden mean is the philosophy pursued by the Orientals.

In the dualistic theory of good and evil, there is no 'middle' – either good or evil, white or black. Neither the mean nor the gray exists, and this means that once good and evil touch the tipping point of flipping, the latter will betray everything about the former.

Event logging.

October 14, in the Arabian Peninsula.

A supernatural force of unknown affiliation has emerged and suppressed almost all zombie infections in the Arab region in an instant. As its leader, Mr. Malik has shown an almost omnipotent power of prayer, and not only can the infected be cured in an instant, but even the deceased who have been completely transformed into blood zombies can quickly recover and regain their lives under his power.

They call themselves 'sandbanks', and they are named after the ancient names of the Arabian zone. There is unconfirmed information that both the head of the BSAA and the EU's top adviser mysteriously disappeared for some time when the 'sandbank' appeared. It was not until the 'Sandbar' forces did not show any demands for power, and only concentrated on suppressing various supernatural disasters that they reappeared.

This is, of course, nonsense.

On the same day, Mr. 'Nyos' and Mr. 'Karl' threw their goodwill and welcome to 'Sandbank' through the Internet. The official saying is that 'the world needs heroes, and even more so sandbanks', but the latter is silent about this. This may be due to the supernatural faction.

October 15, in the Central Asia region.

All the blood-borne zombies in the ancient sandbar area have been completely cured, and Mr. 'Malik' has created a sacred realm with power to cover the entire sandbar land, eliminating all abnormal polluting forces. Erudito, however, quickly deduced Malik's true identity from the manifestations of his power and the details of the corresponding rituals, confirming that he was at least a part of his will, if not the divine descendation of 'Ahura Mazda'.

The ancient Zoroastrian faith spread in Central Asia in an instantβ€”for some well-known reasons, the Holy See and the Central Asian faith had not been at peace, and this made the faiths in Central Asia tend to be embarrassed after the 'Messianic Apparition', but now they have finally found a new alternative. to counter the influence of the Holy See.

The 'sandbank' thus became the nominal supreme ruling body of Central Asia – the former did not respond in any way. But the Central Asian states took advantage of this opportunity to fulfill an ancient ambition - the Central Asian states were united in one moment, becoming a powerful whole. The influence that the Americas had exerted over the centuries in Central Asia was completely removed in an instant, and a well-known and small country was driven into the ...... along with the parasitic peoples above it was politely sent into the Red Sea.

October 17, in Eastern Europe.

Sandbar went to the seal of Typhon and suppressed Typhon with absolute power, annihilating all of Typhon's heirs. The Behemoth of Typhon is suspected to have been completely destroyed, and the sacredized land covers the entire war zone.

On the same day, the Central Asian Union and the European Union established a strategic alliance and publicly announced that they would sell oil and other valuable resources in a fairer way. Countries around the world are happy to see this, but the Americas remain silent. Karl, the EU's top adviser, had a relatively good cooperation with Sandbar during the crusade, although the former was shut down immediately afterwards, and there are rumors that he was injured in the crusade against Typhon.

18 October, in West Africa.

Sandbar traveled to the Hydra Seal, defeated Hydra with the BSAA's cooperation, and strengthened the seal - Hydra was judged to be incorruptible and could not be completely stripped of it, but the seal could last for a long time. The crisis in West Africa was resolved almost perfectly, and the leader of the BSAA, Neos, praised the bravery of the members of the sandbank and said that the BSAA was willing to establish a close cooperation with the sandbank.

The Central Asian Union expanded again, and African countries joined one after another. It has become a pole of the world.

October 19, in North America.

The Americas rejected Sandbar's visit, saying that 'the Americans can solve America's problems' - they contacted the Living Saint Alice and sent the New Ambrela Special Operations Team to Northern Canada to suppress the cult source - the results were unsatisfactory, and the emergency operation failed due to the intervention of many cultists who had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Americas, and the Special Operations Team suffered heavy losses, with only a group of former mercenaries successfully escaping under the protection of the Living Saint.

On the same day, the Sandbar forcibly intervened in the blockade of Northern Canada, ignoring warnings and blockades from the Americas.

October 20, in Northern Canada.

The blockade zone has been cleared. The source of the contamination, the shattered Evil Statue, was captured by Sandbar and sealed upon failure to destroy. The American's request to be the place of custody of the seals was denied.

On the same day, the Central Asian Union and other countries in the world put pressure on the American side to fulfill its commitment to share the remains of Inti. Or 'a joint investigation team of countries to go through North America until the missing remains are found' – the Americans eventually relented, admitting that Inti's remains were not completely lost, but that it would take a little time to move them.

Countries urged North America to seize the time and fulfill the agreement.

The world, at this moment, seems to have returned to peace.

All calamities have been suppressed, and all crises have been dealt with. Even the complex disease that spread everywhere is gradually no longer dangerous under the pressure of the special drug produced by the European Union adviser Arminius who worked overtime to produce it.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

At most, it is just a little noise of private complaints from those whose interests have been damaged.

World...... It seems that time has been gained.

Seem.
