Afternoon: 17:00

Tórshavn Dock Building.

Towering on the top of the city, the skyscrapers are like giants stretching their majesty in the city. Its exterior towers into the sky and rises from the ground like a shining peak, attracting the attention of countless eyes.

The façade of the skyscraper is made up of patches of glass curtain walls, transparent and crystalline, like a mirror that reflects the surrounding scenery. The sun's rays shine on its surface, like thousands of stars coming together, illuminating the building brilliantly.

The rooftop at the top is like a kingdom in the sky. Here, people can overlook the bustle of the whole city and feel the pulse of the city.

However, there were a bit of a lot of guests on the rooftop today.

"Technical adjustment, this must be the technical adjustment [of the financial street], this is a short-term, temporary price correction, usually does not change the overall upward trend of the stock or the market, it must be like this, it must be !!"

"1.7 million, 1.7 million, Quancang Longen, I didn't blame anyone, I blamed myself for being greedy, I wanted to give my family a comfortable life, who wanted to lose everything, I was willing to gamble and lose, I could only be willing to gamble and lose."

"I, I just want to make some quick money, I just want to make some quick money······"

At the top of the building, a group of bankrupt financiers are gathering on the rooftop, and an atmosphere of frustration and despair pervades the crowd of people who have failed in the stock market. Their faces were haggard, and their eyes had lost their former brightness and confidence, replaced by a blank and confused look.

Someone sat in a corner, his body hanging low, as if he was overwhelmed by the tremendous pressure.

Someone listlessly flipped through the hands of the only remaining news consultation after being declared bankrupt? The function of the [financial card], the gaze is eclipsed, as if looking for a glimmer of hope. Frustration and exhaustion were written all over their faces.

The veterans were smoking, wrinkles were deeply engraved on their foreheads, all of them frowned, the corners of their mouths drooped slightly, and the confidence and pride of the past had been stripped away by the cruel reality of the stock market, leaving only a look of weakness and decadence.

Their shoulders drooped, as if weighed down by the burden of defeat. Staggering, their steps heavy on the ground, as if each step carried a huge burden, their originally tall figures were now low and thin, as if they had aged for decades overnight.

John Giovanni was also in the crowd, and when he was declared bankrupt by [Financial Street], he only found it incredulous.

I have such a big asset, you tell me that I am bankrupt, impossible, absolutely impossible, there must be something wrong.

However, even if it is unbelievable, bankruptcy is bankruptcy.

And Giovanni also sensed something was wrong when he went bankrupt.

Longen was sanctioned, Turney shorted itself, Valais Thermal Power used high leverage to launch a [reverse buyout] against itself······

It's too much of a coincidence, the original downwind game has become a desperate game.

Who is behind all this, is the other party trying to ·····

"It's all my own greed, I wanted to give my family a comfortable life, who wants to lose everything, farewell, family, I love you, I love this world!!"

A voice full of madness woke Giovanni from his contemplation, and he subconsciously looked at the source of the sound, on the railing of the rooftop, a middle-aged man opened his arms to the sky, his expression revealed a heavy sense of despair and despair, his posture was rickety, as if he was carrying the heavy pressure of the world.

Looking at this man's figure, Giovanni's pupils unconsciously shrank, and his face unconsciously showed a shocked expression.

As a blood clan who has been in the financial market all year round, he naturally knows that this middle-aged man wants to make a "leap of faith" on the rooftop and end his painful life.

It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of jumping off a building after a failed stock speculation on the news, even if everyone on the rooftop jumps off the balcony now, he won't even blink an eyelid.

Just kidding, he is a noble [people of Cain], how can he care about the life or death of these down-and-out "blood animals".

Giovanni's strange expression was due to the fact that in the midst of the group, no, or rather, he had seen a horrible mass of [active mivirions] in the sky above the rooftop.

The concept of Mimu is to compare the behavior of a crowd to a virus, infecting other people. And due to the existence of the [Aetheric Ocean], if a large number of highly distorted midosin are gathered together, it will distort to form a huge field, and it will even be activated. In the realm of Terra's transcendent academia, it is believed that the Juggernaut Incarnation is also an active mimavirone.

Within Giovanni's sight, he saw a large, metallic crow with a wide variety of eyes that could rotate 360 degrees, regardless of any angle or distance, and observe everything around it. Its body seems to be made up of a thick darkness and void, and there are points of light flowing on it that resemble a galaxy, giving people a deep and endless feeling.

You should cut yourself off for such garbage!

Forget it if it's dead, no one cares anyway!!

Gambling on dogs is not good to die!!

Terrible, crazy, and negative thoughts kept filling everyone's minds.

Giovanni swallowed his saliva and looked at the crow with fear and wariness on his face, he knew the [active mivoviroid].

【High-risk Mimavirus-Werther Effect (Suicide Mimicry)】

People who are prone to suicide usually gather together before any suicide occurs, and once a negative event occurs in this group, then the suicidal tendencies of the group increase, and worst of all, this group summons [Werther].

[Werther] emits a high-level mistress virus called [Suicide Imitation], and it has multi-stage advanced abilities, the first stage of which is called "Introduction to Suicide Imitation", when it completes a series of operations and completes the third order [Title Supplement], it can complete the crowning and activate into an evil god.

Its authority is analogous to nuclear radiation, i.e. mass deaths occur when vulnerable groups (suicidal people) are affected by radiation (negative events).

"Quack-"

The crow let out a piercing cry like a blade cutting through the quiet air.

Its voice was hoarse and high-pitched, like an alarm from the darkness, exuding an unsettling aura, each whistling like a groan of pain that pierced through the eardrums and into the depths of the heart.

The disappointed people present stood up, like marionettes, with dull expressions, and came to the railing in a neat manner, stretching out their hands and embracing the sky like the first person.

Giovanni is still a vampire at heart, the financier is just his shell identity, and he did not sell his blood energy as an asset to [Financial Street], so after bankruptcy, he is still a transcendent, and [Werther], who has just completed "Introduction to Suicide Imitation", cannot interfere with him, and he is now an actor of the Red King, so he will not be polluted at all.

"Let's die together, everyone!"

The middle-aged man who was preparing for the "Leap of Faith" at the beginning had a sickly smile on his face, and opened his arms with him, and his companion who hugged the sky showed the same smile.

[Werther] seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and generally people who are infected by it must die neatly if they want to die, and they are never allowed to sneak away or rush away.

After discovering that Giovanni couldn't be polluted, [Werther] didn't want to wait, it mainly served humans, and other races were just small gifts in passing.

"Quack-"

[Werther] screamed again.

Then, the unexpected happened.

Phew-

An intangible, insubstantial thought weapon was fired at the excited [Werther] from afar, and it plunged directly into its body, which then inflated like a balloon.

BOOM！

A crunch thud pierced the quiet air, and [Werther] exploded like a balloon with a deafening explosion.

At the moment of the explosion, its shell shattered into countless fragments, like brilliant petals blooming in the air; Colorful fragments flew apart, like a sudden fireworks feast; Smoke filled the air, obscuring the sun's rays and making the whole scene look eerie.

The aftermath of the explosion still echoed in the air, as if it had caused a kind of desecration to this beautiful sky.

The freshly formed [Werther] was directly dry burst.

And all this happened in a split second, and before Giovanni could react, [Werther] was blown up, and he blinked his eyes and looked in the direction where the thought weapon had been thrown, and there, he saw the initiator of the attack.

In front, a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes walked towards him, followed by a trio of two large and one small.

"For a week, the guys went to get those people back, and then they would go to the phone booth under the building and call the crisis hotline, [Samaritan Suicide Prevention] was distributed all over Terra, and this kind of professional business was left to them."

Xia Xiu, who had just finished throwing the [Ridiculous Pollution, Closed Mind] spear, instructed the three Tours beside him that it was not good for those shareholders who were standing on the railing and trembling to hang there.

"Okay."

The three of Turce directly summoned the [Juggernaut Incarnation] to the "Leap of Faith" group, and several of the shareholders who had already jumped were directly kicked back to the balcony by Broly and Zhou.

Xia Xiu looked at the wreckage of [Werther] in the sky with complicated eyes, the other party naturally couldn't be directly wiped out like this, what he had just exploded was even the [Werther] who was only a toddler, and even the younger brother who hadn't completed the "Introduction to Suicide Imitation" yet.

Xia Xiu's mood is very complicated now, because [Werther] shouldn't be here now, the other party is one of the control sequences in the Heavenly Kingdom [Crisis Sequence], and it is also the main target of the [Wall of Sighs].

Sequence targets appear directly in Terra, in the present world, and in the previous life, they take place in the fifth expansion.

At that time, Terra was in the stage of complete collapse······

Xia Xiu quickly adjusted his inner thoughts, the matter of collapse was not something he should think about now, the thing he should consider now was the vampire in front of him.

"Who are you!?"

At this moment, John Giovanni stared tightly at the oncoming blonde youth, his fangs bared from his mouth, and the blood clan abilities on his body began to mobilize wildly.

[Grande] is too wasteful, without the assistance of [Financial Street], it is also funny to release it, so Giovanni can only use the real ability that belongs to the blood clan.

In the face of the vigilant Giovanni, Xia Xiu was too lazy to beep, and directly opened his [mod], took a step forward, and the whole person turned into an afterimage.

【Photocorporeality Activation!】 】

[Mimicry of light elemental life!] ]

"Oh my God... Country!? ”

Giovanni screamed in horror like a cat meeting a mouse, and with [Extraordinary Strength] and [Extraordinary Acumen], he subconsciously felt a strong wind hitting his head, so he subconsciously reached out to protect his head.

Bump –

A whip leg with a blazing light was directly whipped into his arm, his entire arm was directly twisted and deformed, and the bone marrow inside was directly crushed into bone foam by the terrifying force, and then he flew out directly.

Boom –

Giovanni rolled like a ball, and he struggled to bring himself to a halt, while he frantically burned blood energy to activate [Rapid Healing] and [Shadow Manipulation].

Giovanni's arm was healing rapidly, and the shadows in front of him began to squirm like tentacles.

"Ahem..."

Gotta get out of here quickly!

Giovanni endured the pain and said in his heart. At the same time, he quickly got up and controlled the shadow to protect himself, while the others ran straight to the rooftop.

As long as he runs over there and jumps, he will need time to activate his [Transformation Ability] and turn into a bat to complete the escape.

As long as I run over there, I can ...

Sisss –

Giovanni's eyes widened as a boiling steam sounded, and his pupils reflected the blond youth with blood-colored steam in his hands.

【Hat-trick】

[Great Magic Moment: Completion Collapse Impression Technique!] ]

[Great Magic Hour: Presence Weakened!] ]

How could it be, when did he get close, he had been there all the time, I clearly remember him there motionless...

Boom –

The boiling blood-colored steam tore apart the shadows around Giovanni.

The broad, powerful palm tore through all obstacles, and the slender and powerful fingers firmly clasped the head of the vampire with fear.

"Wait, I still have..."

[Blood Fighting Technique: Strong Hand Crusher!] ]

Click-

The vampire's skull burst out with a large amount of watermelon juice, which was directly evaporated by the boiling blood-colored steam, and the golden eyes of the blonde youth stared indifferently at the headless corpse that slowly fell to the ground.

The headless corpse lay limply on the ground, and at the severed head, there were flesh buds wriggling.

The blonde youth raised his right hand, and an azure pistol appeared on his right hand, and he held it to the flesh bud, constantly pulling the trigger.

Touch! Touch! Touch!

The blue energy arrow continued to annihilate the wriggling flesh buds, and while shooting, Xia Xiu also specially summoned his anonymous [financial card].

[Have you decided to swap out all your assets to activate [Gold Flooding]?] 】

[Note: This economic magic only has the function of showing off wealth, and has no real effect.] 】

"Activate [Gold Coin Flooding]." Xia Xiu said slowly.

A magic circle suddenly appeared in Xia Xiu's position, and then, a large wave of gold coins poured down like a waterfall.

Boom Boom –

When the gold coin poured down, Xia Xiu had already activated [Body Void], and the [Count Count] on Giovanni's watch seemed to feel something and began to spin wildly.

[Grande] came out of the watch, and instead of the original cow and bear double-faced, it became a shriveled vampire old man, pale and ugly.

Dangdangdang –

The gold coins made a cacophony of sounds, like countless small laughs echoing in the ears. The vampire's hands gripped the coins desperately, but couldn't hold them, and the coins slipped from his fingers like sand.

Groaning and enjoying and struggling, it was overwhelmed by the boundless riches, its eyes full of greed and pain.

It tried to break free from the pile of coins, but could not break free from the coins anyway.

The glow of the gold coin grew stronger and stronger, enveloping the vampire.

Eventually, the vampire's body was completely consumed by the gold coins, leaving only a pile of ashes that were submerged in the gold coins and disappeared into it.

“··· It also caused all men, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. No one shall buy or sell except that which is sealed, and who has the name of the beast, or who has the name of the beast. ”

The blonde youth looked at the reduced vampire and whispered, his golden eyes shining with an obscure sheen.

Xia Xiu held the hand of the [Financial Card] and squeezed it hard, and the entire [Financial Card] was directly crushed by him and turned into a ball of light, and the true essence of the [Financial Street] subconsciously flashed in his mind.

【Financial Street】···

The highest crisis sequence target.

One of the Beasts that brought Honkai to humanity and to all of Terra.
