A figure stood in the midst of the burning ruins, he stood in the midst of the city he had made, he was once again disguised as a human being, he looked at his former people, and saw those who had followed him and fought for freedom become the flesh and blood enemies of the world.

He realized that it was His hands that buried it all.

He looked at them and wept.

"Ion, please don't weep for us."

Flesh and blood enemies came to their savior, and they stretched out their distorted tentacles to wipe away tears for their gods.

He lifted his head, and His eyes were so sad.

His gaze looked through this world to the distant world.

He saw it.

A blonde youth was standing there.

A figure was behind the blonde youth, constantly pushing the rolling stone that symbolized fate, again and again.

"Please, save Terra—"

········

Deer Courtyard Anderson Dormitory - Room 404.

"Whew-"

A young blonde man sat up from his bed suddenly, sweating as if he had had a nightmare, and he reached out to brush back the sweat-soaked blonde hair on his forehead a little, and then lifted the back of his hot right hand.

"[Born Key] Spiritual Vision at the Time of the Awakening Cycle······"

Xia Xiu's right hand was showing a special red ring at this time, he looked up at the table next to the window that was shining in by the sun, and it happened that he was not sleepy at this time, so he simply got up and washed up.

Three days have passed since the Linden Street massacre, and he had returned to Luyuan three days earlier.

After Xia Xiu returned to the Deer Academy, he learned from Professor Raugen that Professor Nimus had a fierce friction with the senior management of the [Thirteen Branches], and the final result of the friction was that some of the senior executives of the [Thirteen Branches] retired early, and the Deer Academy was about to move to the next destination in advance.

After washing, Xia Xiu sat on the sofa in the living room with a cup of hot water, and he was looking at a report that was about to be 404, which was published on [Mole Instant Messaging].

The Linden Street Massacre

——[Case Review]——

On November 2, 1589 in the Terra calendar, the entire [Thirteen Families] sixty-ninth [Cornflower] structure lost communication with [Thirteen Branches] due to an inexplicable virus, and the virus is suspected to have been transmitted by [Red Branch].

At 8 p.m. that night, [Cornflower] lurking outside the street interrupted the space-time thaumaturgical barrier in Bodhi Tree Street, causing the block to remain in the same state as when the spell was activated.

At the same time, cut off the escape route of the block to the outside.

After that, [Cornflower] began patrolling the neighborhood and killing members of the anomalous community.

Survivors recalled that [Cornflower] used a highly contaminating EVE pulse gun to shatter the head and right palm of those who resisted or prevented him from attacking his victims.

The timeline of the massacre is as follows:

At 20:00, the management personnel who discovered the problem with the space-time barrier attempted to contact the outside world, but were unable to receive a reply.

At 20:01, [Cornflower] began the slaughter.

At 20:07, members of the anomalous community organized troops to revolt against [Cornflower].

At 20:12, the resistance was unable to resist the [Cornflower] troops, which had the most advanced equipment, and most of the measures in the block were attacked.

20:18: During this time, the leaders of the [Thirteen Sections] Dissident Division, [Iron Hand], and other structural forces are holding a special meeting, during which the [Anti-Theft Shelter] is opened, and each opening takes a 10-minute gap.

At 20:21, [Section 13] discovered an anomaly in the neighborhood (previously to be reported to [Section 13] by members of the anomalous community outside the block, but it was not accepted).

At 20:27, the case was transferred to the Special Affairs Section of the Anomalous Interference Department.

At 20:38, the Special Operations Division arrived on the scene, but they were unable to mobilize a large constructor force without authorization.

At 20:49, the Special Operations Division was authorized and the 57th [Pansy] troops were deployed to Linden Street to provide assistance.

At 20:51, the Special Affairs Division opened the Fault Barrier, and [Pansy] and [Cornflower] began to fight.

At 20:57, the first survivors were rushed to the hospital for treatment.

At 21:00, the Super Natural Disaster Response Bureau dispatched a special firefighting team to extinguish the extraordinary fire caused by EVE particles and ARad in the neighborhood.

At 21:13, the second group of survivors was rescued.

At 21:45, the third group of survivors was rescued.

At 21:57, the situation is basically stable.

——[Reactions from all walks of life]——

-- Local reaction in the Berlin area --

The day after the massacre, the Hohenzollern family sent representatives to negotiate with the [Thirteen Branches], which also involved the assassination of the president of the Hohenzollern Group, and according to the autopsy report, the president of the Hohenzollern Group was killed by the EVE weapon of the [Thirteen Branches].

The negotiations went on for three hours, and from the photo below {photo: a Hohenzollern delegate spits on the flag of the [Thirteen Branches] (paparazzi)} we can tell that the negotiations did not go well.

In Terra 11.4, [Thirteen Branches] signed the Memorandum of Agreement on Anomalous Affairs with all hubs in the Berlin area, which in essence reduced the occult populations in the Berlin area to "colonies" of [Thirteen Branches", and these so-called tactics were clearly aimed at moving closer to the hegemony of the Heavenly Right, rather than actually thinking about the occult community. (The link to the protocol is below+)

At the same time, the [Thirteen Branches] also blocked and cleared out the relevant messages that "[the Thirteen Branches] deliberately indulged in massacres" and "[The Thirteen Branches] and [Red Branches] were in the same stream."

The reporters who asked the questions all revealed that they had been physically threatened.

-- Multi-party reactions --

After the incident, the president of the Central Union Association of Moldova launched a charity campaign to raise funds for the victims and survivors for follow-up work such as medical funds and legal aid.

Hearing this news, the vast number of extraordinary groups and personnel have offered their love. In addition to receiving donations from individuals, the organizers also received donations from various social organizations such as [Shikain], [Dimension Express], [Soul Street], and [Snake Hand].

However, what is worrying is that there are still most people in the transcendent society who have varying degrees of radical thinking about this incident, which even affects the entire transcendent circle of Youyang.

It's not uncommon to see statements like "Xenoartists are disgusting" and "Anart is shit", and a member of the Senate even went so far as to publicly declare that "die well, these anartists who like to flaunt themselves will only cause trouble for Terra".

Even some genealogical netizens are not hesitant to spread rumors, and they do not care about the act of spreading rumors. In an interview, the representative of Bodhi Tree Street stated in a righteous and rhetorical manner that any rumors about Bodhi Tree Street being suspected of trading high-risk Mima virus injections are purely slanderous by people with ulterior motives, with the aim of stigmatizing the anomalous community enthusiast groups and the anomalous art group, just to discriminate against us and add a trumped-up charge.

-- International Reaction --

Rarely, the Kingdom of Heaven did not intervene militarily in the massacre, nor did it issue any condemnation or sanction afterwards.

[Final Remarks]

Aren't members of the lineage not people under the veil?

Whether this is a supernatural biochemical disaster caused by poor regulation, or is it the result of years of discrimination.

Due to the inaction of the Berlin government and the deliberate indulgence of the Kingdom of Heaven, groups of anart enthusiasts and anartists were considered "non-nationals" or so-called "anomalous entities" for a long time.

In a way, this amounts to a denial of the basic rights of these anomalous communities, their treatment is not taken seriously, their rights and interests are not properly protected, and their right to life is sometimes threatened by repressive policies.

Improving their situation requires the efforts of society as a whole, especially those in power.

————————————

When Xia Xiu finished sipping the hot water in his hand, he also finished reading the report that was pinned to the top of [Mole Instant Messaging], and in just five minutes, this article was already read by 10,000 people.

And in the sixth minute, the article disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Xiu's genealogical link was also broken.

The pedigree app you linked to is not currently in the Terra server! 】

It seems that the control of [the thirteen branches] has begun.

Xia Xiu thought as he lay on the sofa.

I guess I noticed something·······

The Ensemble is about to begin, and no regional government would want to be the venue for the Scarlet King's Theater.

And it's very easy to keep the Scarlet King from targeting him, that is, to make himself boring, he will not target the boring places and the boring people.

Thinking of this, Xia Xiu began to think about his next itinerary.

The first thing is to deal with some small things around you, such as the completion of the business, the transformation plan of the Great Demon Dog, and the evolution of the non-psionic weapon stage·······

Thinking of this, Xia Xiu raised his right hand, and the back of his right hand lit up with a burst of light, and a spear with 30 barbs appeared in his hand.

The pedigree interface began to automatically read the characteristics and abilities of this spear, and a bright red interface appeared in front of Xia Xiu.

————————

【Spear of Gayaberg】

[The 30 barbs on the spear will disembowel the opponent, and the sharp blade will leave a saw-like scar, and it can be easily pulled out no matter how deep the stab is.] 】

Traits: [Sharp], [Penetrating]

[Powerful Penetration]: With the blessing of the concept of [Penetration], if it is judged that the defense does not pass, the blocking object will inevitably be pierced by this gun.

[Blade Saw]: With the blessing of the concept of [Sharpness], if you are slashed by its sharp blade, it will leave a saw-like scar.

[Disemboweled]: Attack the enemy's chest and heart with this gun, and the 30 barbs on the spear will disembowel the enemy.

[Heartlocked Enemy: Ununlocked (Requires [Juggernaut Avatar] to unlock)]

——————

This is Xia Xiu's first transcendent weapon: [Gayaberg's Spear].

An arm that is perfect for melee combat, and if [Juggernaut] has that weapon, the concept above it will be brought to full play.

After watching it for a while, Xia Xiu took the [Spear of Gayaberg] into his right hand for spiritual cultivation.

Now that the preparations for admission are ready, all that remains is the admission ticket.

The "Ensemble Interpretation" held by [Crimson King] has the following rules:

One: The [Scarlet King] will unfold the [meta-narrative] in Terra at will, that is, use the authority of fate to unfold the story, he only builds the stage, sets the characters and props, and everything else, he will not interfere.

Two: In addition to the characters he has set up, other people or races need to get rendition cards to enter.

There are three types of rendition cards.

[Red Card - Demon]: The final boss behind the scenes and the embodiment of the "negative story" driving force, the "turn" of one of the fundamental forces that drive the development of the narrative, this card has one and only one holder.

[Yellow Card - Yellow Rigoletto]: The promoter of the development of the plot, the "intentional" and "coincidental" playmaker of the twist. All "human figures" are their puppets. The card is held by both the puppeteer and the puppeteer, and there is no limit to the number of players on the card

[White Card - Savior]: Justice, honor, brilliance, the creator of all good endings, the defender of "positive plot" and "reunion", the card is the sworn enemy of [red card], the card usually has 1~7 holders (the specific situation depends on the deduction mode).

The above three can be understood as: BE ending, plot promoter/-stirring stick, and HE ending.

The Crimson King will pre-arrange the holder of the [Red Card] and the [White Card], and when one of them destroys the other, the card holder will get the card ending, and the interpreter will receive his [Champion Title].

[Yellow Card] is for those who want to enter the game, and [Yellow Card] can choose to favor white or red when entering the game.

And then there is the core gameplay of the deduction:

(1): [White Card] and [Red Card] can be converted, i.e., [Devil] can be converted into [Savior], and [Savior] can be converted into [Devil], and the reason for the conversion must be expressed (ceremony).

(2): [Yellow Card] can be upgraded: [Yellow Card] can become white or red when the conditions are met, and the specific conditions can be explored by themselves.

(3): [Red Card] and [White Card] must be defended after either side is removed, and the deduction can only be declared after 24 hours if there is no upgrader.

(4): [Red Card] and [White Card] can be revealed: that is, declare their existence to the world, and the person who shows the card will receive [Destiny Protection] and [Plot Inertia], which can prevent him from being killed by the [Yellow Card] manipulation.

(5): There is no race to participate in the performance.

Of course, if there is a shower on either the red or white side, then the one with the hidden card will have a "special attack blessing" for the shower.

If both players show their cards, they get (4) at the same time, in which case the [Yellow Card] controller can't do much.

Settlement:

The [Champion] may make a wish to the [Crimson King] that matches the level of the performance, and the specific degree will be determined by the [Crimson King].

The [Yellow Card] of the winner of the [champion] can get one-twentieth of the wish of the supporter, for example, the value of the [champion's] wish is 20 yuan, then the supporter can only make a wish of 1 yuan.

One last rule: The above treaties are set by the Scarlet King, who can change them and add new treaties at any time.
