In the evening, it is on Sixth Avenue, which is gradually becoming lively.

When Da Gu and Sha Ji pushed open the door of the second-hand store at the entrance, Lu Xuan, as the boss, sat at the front desk rarely.

Not in human form, but in Galvin form, the eyes are slightly closed, leaving only the auxiliary brain to control the body, and the main brain is running and thinking about a research topic quickly.

Kalian, who was forced to become a waitress, stood very obediently at the entrance of the gate, smiling and greeting all customers who entered the store.

So, as soon as Dagu and Shaji came in, they saw a surprising scene.

As the boss, Lu Xuan closed his eyes motionlessly at the front desk, while Kalian, who was forced to become a waiter, gushed about various second-hand electronic products in the second-hand store to customers.

From the old game consoles at the end of the last century, to the latest second-hand electronic accessories......

Karen explains the advantages of the product in a conclusive and precise manner, as if she were really a clerk at this store.

Without disturbing Kalian's work, Dagu and Saki waited until the guests had left before finding a place to sit down.

"I really didn't expect you to have such a well-behaved side?"

The first to speak was Saki, who was obviously surprised by Karen's performance today.

For this mechanical girl who came out of nowhere, Saki's knowledge of her is limited to her stubborn personality and near-immortal personality.

Unlike the prosthetic androids, Kalian's will does not reside in her body, but in the wider online world.

Therefore, Karen uploads and synchronizes her own data once a day to ensure the unity of her personality.

The time when the data is synchronized is Kalian's personal "rest time".

Shaki also wanted to find out Kalian's true identity.

But in addition to knowing that the other party was an artificial intelligence like Zhizi, he couldn't get more information from Lu Xuan.

Fortunately, Saki isn't really stupid.

Through various details, Shaki deduced that the Karen in front of him was most likely the short-lived mechanical Tiga.

Or rather, the artificial intelligence of the destroyed mechanical giant.

"I've always been well-behaved, okay!"

Glaring at Sha Ji quietly, Karen quibbled without confidence.

As Sha Ji said, although Karen has equipped herself with a girl's prosthesis, her mind and knowledge reserves are not comparable to ordinary people.

But because she wanders in the lonely network all year round, Karen likes to join in the fun.

Since she came to Sixth Avenue, she has been called the "Three Great Evils" of Sixth Avenue along with Ge Ye Jiro and Young Master Ayan.

Anyway, if something happens, it's right to find the three of them.

"Are you in such a hurry to let us come back this time, is something wrong?"

Looking at the bickering between Sha Ji and Karene with a smile, Da Gu finally did not forget the true purpose of this trip, and turned his head to ask Lu Xuan, who had regained consciousness at some point.

"Something did go wrong, and we seem to be being targeted."

Obviously using uncertain words, Da Gu heard the meaning of certainty from Lu Xuan's tone.

"Targeted?"

Somewhat unable to understand Lu Xuan, Da Gu couldn't help but repeat the other party's words.

"I'm not sure who they're targeting......"

"But one thing is for sure, they must be eyeing one of us."

Looking at Da Gu with a blank face, Lu Xuan had no choice but to explain.

"Ever since the Machine Island incident, there have been frequent attempts to invade Sixth Avenue."

"According to various clues, it can be judged that the intruder is most likely a Kiriel."

When he said this, Lu Xuan's tone paused slightly before continuing.

"Actually, I think what they really want to invade is the underground shrine in Kumamoto City."

"It's just that the underground temple has been transferred by me to a completely isolated imaginary space, and it is basically impossible for the Kiriel to enter it through external channels."

"So they had to settle for the next best thing, wanting to invade the Sixth Avenue and look for traces of the giant's existence."

Sixth Avenue is the "Black Street" guarded by giants, which is a well-known thing among the outliers of Earth.

There was no need for Lu Xuan to explain too much, Da Gu could easily figure this out.

"Is that alone enough to tell that the invaders are Kiriel?"

It's not that he doesn't believe Lu Xuan's judgment, Da Gu just feels that with the previous performance of the Kiriel people, things must not be so simple.

"Of course it's not just that, there's more evidence to prove my speculation."

Glancing at Da Gu, who was still full of confusion, Lu Xuan, who didn't expect too much from his IQ, explained further.

"First of all, Tomoko found out that there have been groups on the Internet that have been smearing Tiga and Galvin recently, and have also intentionally or unintentionally led public opinion to attack the Galvin Group."

"Secondly, a mystical religion called 'Angel Religion' is rapidly rising, and many believers have seen the picture of angels descending."

"The Angelic Cult declares that the end of the world is coming and that the divine flame will cleanse the earth of all filth......"

"It is only in the divine flame that a sinful human being can be reborn."

"Does this rhetoric sound familiar?"

When Lu Xuan's words came to this, even Sha Ji and Ka Lian, who were arguing on the side, couldn't help but show a curious look.

"The gods of Kiri-El use fire as their symbol, and the Kiri-El people have also declared that the end of the world is imminent, and that only they can lead humanity to a new life."

"What's more, Tomoko has investigated this so-called 'Angel Sect' and has not discovered the existence of supernatural individuals from it."

Since it was not the supernatural individuals who created the picture of the angel's arrival, it is conceivable who created this series of religious worship.

"Kiriel people...... Collecting human beliefs? ”

After a brief silence, Shaki gave an unexpected but reasonable answer.

"That's right, the Kiriel people, led by Tetsuo Uchiharato, seem to want to make a big move."

"So their first goal was to remove the obstacles—the Tiga and Galvin who were hiding among the human beings."

He opened his mouth to speak, and Dagu wanted to say that what the people of Kiriel were looking for should be Galvin, right?

But when he thought that he had indeed shown his stance on the side of the human race more often, Da Gu was a little unsure.

"That'...... How can we stop them? ”
