Chapter 182: The epitome of tragedy
Although he did not participate in the so-called team building activities, McArou was still in a good mood today.
The youngest is 9 years old.
This means that in six years at most, she can be freed from the task of raising these children, and if the big boss is not on a whim, she can also stock up some more savings.
Lex was about to graduate from college, and the trainee was paid three pounds a week's work, and if he had a conscience, he might be able to send back home one pound a week. ’
'Loren and Martha have two more years, it doesn't matter, it's coming.'
'Maybe it won't take six years, but if this job lasts for three years I'll be able to live a little bit of my own life,' McArough began to think about the future in her mind, and her steps were brisk, but after a while she slowly stopped.
What's the point of life? She suddenly felt a little unmotivated, and only felt a well-up of exhaustion.
McArou's father was a Rune soldier who was killed in the colonial war in the Southern Continent, and his mother eloped with an Indis with a pension. The widow of a merchant was the widow of a businessman, and the old woman was also a retired teacher.
Merculo's literary foundation came half from the kind old woman and half from school, she had been a writer a few years earlier, but those who knew about it had almost returned to the realm of the gods.
At that time, she was a well-known newcomer who serialized two books, about the love story of a girl's fantasy.
Thanks to the manuscript fee, she has a past income that she also said, which can be regarded as the best among the civilian class, although these are not comparable to the rising star Furth who has emerged in recent years.
The old woman, perhaps afraid of loneliness, adopted several more children while she was studying at a foreign university, and gradually, people began to abandon the children on her doorstep.
Before her adoptive mother returned to the kingdom of the gods, she had asked her if she would be willing to raise all her children and send them to school.
There were no babies, just 5 or 6 year olds.
Without much thought, the young McAroux agreed.
The old woman's savings and her manuscript fees would have been enough to last until the last adopted children grew up.
But the implementation of the Corn Laws made the cost of living higher and higher, and at that time the foreign grain did not hit the Rune market, just in time for the unemployment of workers and inflation.
Under the pressure of reality, everyone was suspended from school for a while, until McAroux met the man, Tennison. Gilbert.
A Sequence 8 mind reader.
The erudite and gentle Tennison first gained the trust of the children, then entered the heart of McArouen, and finally swindled all the gold pounds from her and was ready to sell her.
On that day, McAroux drank Sequence 7: The Psychiatrist's Potion, which Tennison had earned through human trafficking and fraud.
In the memories in his mind, he suddenly looked around in confusion, this was the last stop of the public carriage, and it was about a 10-minute walk from home.
To be honest, it wasn't a home, just a place of duty and responsibility that made her feel tired, and she usually had to pay attention to the mental health of these children with extraordinary abilities
She's not kind, she's just stupid. Stupid enough to think that the love story in the book will happen in reality, stupid enough to think that pie will fall from the sky.
Now that all that stupidity has turned into potion and gone into her stomach, she should pay for the stupidity.
Thanks to the King for taking back the right to education, enacting the Law on Primary Education and establishing public primary schools, this is another significant expense. Although Beckland's days are getting worse day by day.
If it weren't for this group of children, she would have had an easy life, right? I won't listen to Tennison's nonsense, saying that 800 pounds can become a shareholder of a school, and go to school and eat for free.
McCareu pinched herself, her eyes regained a little brightness, this is a lot of houses in the suburbs, but they are all scattered and relatively open.
The streets are filled with semi-unemployed poor people working as temporary workers and hungry children who have been driven.
Ten minutes later, McCarroux sighed as he looked at the houses not far away.
"Sister!"
She looked back at 13-year-old Vina and 10-year-old Levy, each carrying a basket.
"What a coincidence." McAroux smiled, "What did you buy?" ”
"Brown bread." Vina lifted the cloth from the basket and found a few pieces of brown bread inside.
"Didn't I tell you to buy bread and meat?"
"Here." Levy held up the basket in his hand.
"That's all? It's Nalo's birthday. McAru looked a little displeased.
"Sister. Nallow said he wanted to save more money to save money for Lex's brother's tuition. A smile appeared on Vina's face, the lack of nutrients on weekdays caused the girl to be a little thin, and her smile was not so good-looking.
McArou's gaze briefly became wooden and glazed, and she seemed to see herself more than ten years ago.
She pretended to be nerve-wracking, and then smiled at the two children, "Make it up to him at night, let's go." ”
McArose took the free hands of the two children and asked softly:
"Can you hold it on one hand?"
"Yes!"
Life is a little more comfortable to feel that these children are sensible and cute, I hope to get through the past few years, it is best to pass in the blink of an eye.
Phew-
Boom boom
As soon as the spiritual warning in his mind reacted, in less than 3 seconds, the sound of breaking the air and the sound of explosion came one after another.
A house not far ahead erupted into a fireball, a blinding light followed by a scorching wave of air.
Several houses on the left and right were shrouded in flames, and the houses a little farther away were tossed to pieces by the air waves, and the sky was covered with debris of wooden planks and the remnants of clothes of unknown families.
A piece of wood with flames clanged and landed beside McAruy and bounced twice.
Pedal Pedal Ped
Frightened by the sight, McAru took a few steps back and sat down on the ground with her two children.
Levy rolled his eyes as he hugged the bread basket and fainted.
McCarroux wanted to scream, but the spiritual warning was like a hammer to force her to come to her senses for a moment, and she got up and lifted the two children to escape.
The psychiatrist in Sequence 7 is not the same as in Sequence 8.
The body has become healthier, and although it has no obvious muscles, its strength and speed are much stronger than before Sequence 8, which is equivalent to the limit of human beings.
Improved eyesight, even objects hidden in the dark can be seen clearly.
Shout!
At the moment when the sound of breaking the air came, McArou subconsciously threw the two children into the distance, and her body was also unbalanced by this movement, and she looked up at the sky before she landed, and a black behemoth came to her face.
Then, darkness followed.
Above the scorched earth ruins, Su Lin held a broken spirit in his hand, reading some of the memories that remained and projected on this spirit thinking island.
"Only transcendent spirits can hold out for so long." Delen. Esso used the power of the Lawn Mage to stop the burning of flames and the loss of life in the first place.
It is the law of this realm that all spirits will return to the spirit realm where reality overlaps, and this is true for both ordinary and transcendent spirits, it is only a matter of time.
But that's normal.
That cannonball was dropped by the fleet under the command of the War Bishop of Sequence 3, and it itself carried extraordinary power, and the spirit of ordinary people dissipated in an instant, and the spirit of the transcendent will also be shattered.
The light flickered, and the spirit gained by the mutilated spirit jumped a few times like a candle blown by the wind.
"Where's her home?" There was no fluctuation in Su Lin's voice, "How are those children?" ”
"At the center of the explosion."
Delen. Esso paused, looking at the nearby inhabitants lined up on the ground, including two children holding baskets, one with an iron rod stuck in his abdomen:
"There is survival."
"The flesh is still there, and the spirit is still there." Su Lin glanced at the piles of spirits that had no will and were wandering and dissipating: "You are not lucky today, but you are also lucky." ”
"Is Miss Arianna there?"
A figure of a woman wearing a simple linen robe, a bark belt, long black hair, and no shoes and socks has come out of nothingness.
It is none other than the angel on earth, the servant of the secret of the Church of the Night, Arianna.
He made a courtesy greeting and quietly looked at Su Lin, whose divine aura was becoming more and more intense.
Delen. Esso was terrified in his heart, he had heard a little about this angel who walked on the earth all the year round in the Church of the Night, and he also knew about its existence, and at this moment the other party actually respectfully saluted the angel named 'Salir' beside him?!
It's hard to do it. This is a Sequence 1 angel?!
"Please turn this area into a state of secrecy for the time being."
Arianna didn't ask why, bowing slightly, the area vanished as if erased by an eraser, the ruined buildings, the charred land, the people who lived there.
The moment everyone appeared in the hidden space, more than a dozen spears of light pierced the young, young, old and breathless bodies.
The white pillars of light that reached the sky were like waterfalls descending from the sky, and after a blur of light, the wandering and dissipating spirits disappeared, and a trace of blood appeared on those cold bodies.
Delen. Esso's eyes widened, he had heard of the incredible high sequence ability of the angels, but he didn't expect this kind of miracle to be given casually?!
"The rest will not be resurrected."
[That's good, thank you, boss]
[I can go to the great kingdom of the goddess of the night to reunite with my family. 】
There was a message from the spirits.
Su Lin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't you want to live?" ”
He hadn't even spoken, though McCarroud's situation was a bit of a problem.
According to this world, her spirit body consists of astral spirits, mental bodies, etheric bodies, and spirit bodies, and most of these components have been dissolved and returned to the spirit world.
The collapse is doomed, and now it is only Su Lin who has made it gain false integrity, and it is estimated that the real fool will be able to fool this state when he comes.
Are you a messenger of the gods? 】
"You can think so, and you can think of me as a god."
Delen. Esso's expression was not to look at Su Lin but at the expression of the hidden servant Arianna over there, what was he talking about? He said He was God?
You must be a good deity
But why is there a god like you, the world is still like this]
"God also has a lot of helplessness, but maybe you can hope that the future will be better?"
[Those who put down their farm tools to chase the sun will definitely end up in a more embarrassing situation.
I've already experienced it once]
"What a good abstraction you say.."
[I have a deposit in the Bakerland Bank, please pass it on to them, it was originally for my future travel]
[Although I don't know if I can run away from under Mr. Delen's nose. Ha ha. 】
Su Lin glanced at the mutilated spirit in his hand, then at the two children lying on the ground and the ragged people around him, and asked after two seconds of silence:
"Do you accept such an ending?"
McCarroud's spirit didn't answer, just stopped throbbing, as if falling silent.
[Fate is a writer, life is a script, I think I am qualified as an actor, at least I have experienced tragedy and suffering, lies and deception, and finally ushered in the ending I should face. 】
"You weren't so young before, you may not know what it means to be civil." Su Lin sighed in his heart, let go of the spirit body in his hand and let it turn into a human form, and said:
"A common problem for you writers."
"I wanted to get back to my old job, but I couldn't write about those fantasies that didn't have a realistic logic
So I'm not supposed to be a writer right now. McArou's voice was staccato as her spirit slowly but surely dissipated as she walked in the direction of Vina and Levy, crouching down in front of them, stroking her forehead.
"I'm sorry"
She could no longer support it, and turned into patches of light, blending into the eternal darkness of the hidden space.
At the same time, the hidden space is like a graffiti painting, and the colors are distorted and superimposed to become a normal world.
Su Lin lifted the two sleeping children on the ground and put them into Delen, who was tense and didn't know how to speak. Esso's arms.
"I'll leave it to you first."
Su Lin looked to the southwest, and his gaze crossed the infinite distance to the fleet of float ships of the Fusak Empire, which had flown dozens of miles away and was still speeding up, and a Sequence 2 weather warlock did not directly participate in the battle but answered in front.
From a rational point of view, this war has nothing to do with him, there are too many tragedies in this era, he is not the savior of this world and it is impossible to prevent all tragedies from happening, McArou is just one of the many tragedies in the microcosm.
But he's not happy now.
'Should I thank Fursack's fleet for making my Jindan Stage Light God from another world realize whose home field it is?' ’
'You're making me unhappy, I'm going to tell you about a bystander or a sensible guest?' ’
'Do whatever I want!' ’
Of course, the premise is that it can't affect Lao Zhou, well, Ms. Arianna's role is highlighted.
"Ms. Arianna." Su Lin showed a smile, pointed to the southwest and said:
"There's a Sequence 3 War Bishop on the other side, how much can his extraordinary traits sell for on the black market?"
“.”
Arianna shook her head slowly and said:
"There is no such thing as the extraordinary character of a Sage on the black market."
Arianna seemed to have long analyzed what the strange god might do next, and said without a hint of stuttering:
"If you're willing, we'll be able to offer a price you're happy with."
Sorry for being late.
And then why do some people think I'm writing about the heroine?,Readers who have read the mystery know that under the background view of that world, there are actually all kinds of exploitation and ordinary people who have become victims of the times.,The squid is big, really powerful.,The contradictions of modern Europe and the helplessness in the background of the times are integrated.,The tragedy is repressed with humor.,My deepest impression of the mystery actually happens to be the fifth and sixth volumes.。
That's why there will be these chapters from the perspectives of Zhongli, Su Lin and Lu Mingfei to witness the reality of this world.
It can't be the heroine....
