Chapter 254: The Domineering of the Rest City (7,000 words)
"That's ...... so"
Xiao Huan listened to the old and unattainable old man on the other side of the table talking eloquently, full of confidence, and his heart was a little abrupt.
It doesn't matter who sits on God's seat, just make sure that you are shepherding the earth for God.
Is it because the usual mysterious sources cannot directly interfere with reality, and strangers are needed to carry out their instructions, so these people have hallucinations, thinking that the mysterious source will always be inseparable from them?
But what if the mysterious source swallows up the whole world, and there is no longer a need for such a shepherd?
What if the authority they receive afterwards is not as strong as they thought it would be?
β¦β¦
For a moment, Xiao Huan had a lot of questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but in the end, he just lowered his head slightly, and these questions were not spoken.
There are probably a lot of questions in the world, and if the questioner is given enough time to think, then they will realize that they don't need to ask them.
What if you ask?
He has already determined that he believes in the set of theories, and also believes that his set of theories can make them rest in the city and let the strangers in other cities live well, while he thinks that his theory is stupid, once the whole world is swallowed up, he can even see a laughing expression on his confident face, but at least now, he is not convinced of him, he represents the city of rest, has been deeply trapped in this theory, and it is impossible for him to die with him, and then discuss it in the end.
Convincing others is hard, and people who try to convince others are pitiful.
So Xiao Huan simply hid all the words that he subconsciously wanted to refute, just was silent for a while, and then smiled at Mr. An opposite: "No wonder in your eyes, the old man is naΓ―ve." β
"It's still your good temper!"
"If I were put in your shoes, I would even think he was stupid."
"With such a good status and power, I am indifferent, I want to return to the original world and be an ordinary ......"
ββ¦β¦β
As he spoke, he even felt a little understanding of the old man.
He remembered a case that Yang Jia once told him: a patient who lived in a nursing home, thought that he was a big man, thought that he was in the hospital, just to temporarily avoid risks, thought that all doctors and nurses were his bodyguards and assistants who hid their identities, just to protect themselves, thought that the medicine he took was just nutrition, and thought that all the programs broadcast on TV were related to him, so he insisted on holding meetings with nurses every day, insisting on making meeting minutes and preparing speeches......
He lives in a fantasy world in which he has infinite power.
But if he is really awake, he will find himself in the real world, just a forgotten and ridiculed patient.
So, even if someone could tell him in his fantasy world that he could actually wake up, would he choose to wake up or continue to sink?
β¦β¦
"That's a good point."
Listening to Xiao Huan's words, Mr. An showed a faint smile on his face and said, "Your description of him is exactly what I think of your old president. β
"What about you?"
"Would you rather believe in that childish persistence, or accept everything God has given you?"
ββ¦β¦β
When looking at Xiao Huan, his gaze became deeper, and vaguely, there seemed to be some kind of invisible power, which made people dare not look directly.
But Xiao Huan looked directly at him, paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "I came to return the information card of your Resting City Knight's Heart......
As he spoke, he held out his hand.
The soft one next to her was in a daze, Xiao Huan's hand shook in front of her, and she reacted and hurriedly took out the information card from her backpack.
It can be seen that Squishy is actually very nervous, and she put this information card into a delicate cardboard box, and even tied a clumsy bow on it, which looks like a gift.
Xiao Huan took it, put the cardboard box on the table, and with a gentle push, it slid across the entire table and stopped in front of Mr. An.
Smiled: "Now, I have returned this card." β
Mr. An lowered his eyes, looked down at the cardboard box with a bow, and couldn't see joy or anger in his eyes that were hidden by wrinkles, and after a long time, he said silently: "Red heart, it's a pity." β
"She was supposed to be the third archangel of the kingdom of God."
"However, this is also her life, a brander like her, her fate and will are controlled by a mysterious source, and it is indeed not suitable to stay in the kingdom of God."
"But the four archangels are a perfect structure."
"So ......"
ββ¦β¦β
As he spoke, he paused slightly, and suddenly looked up at Xiao Huan: "President Xiao, are you willing to come over and take her place?" β
"Me?"
Xiao Huan was slightly surprised: "Only the third in line? β
In these words, his arrogance and dissatisfaction, and even a certain provocative mood have been expressed.
But unexpectedly, the old gentleman An was not angry, he seemed to be so dull that he couldn't feel the ridicule in Xiao Huan's words, but looked at him seriously: "Even if you want to rank higher, it's not impossible to talk." β
"It's just a matter of what you can get for the Sabbath."
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Huan was really a little surprised this time, and said with a smile: "I thought that you had arranged everything in the city of rest." β
"Everything in the city of rest has indeed been arranged."
Mr. An said slowly: "But if you want to build a true kingdom of God, you can't just stop at the city of rest. β
"Since the outbreak of the Singularity Crisis, the world has been scattered, the council has lost control of the world, and the administrative halls of each city exist independently, and they have also pinned their hopes on the Black Forest, hoping that the Black Forest that caused everything can end all this, but unfortunately, the Black Forest is just the one who opened Pandora's box, but he has no ability to close the box, and the changes in the world are unstoppable, but the administrative hall of the Rest City has begun to build a new structure in this world and is ready to promote a new election."
"Once the general election is completed, the Executive Hall of the City of Rest will become the supreme head of the council."
"At that time, the city of rest will represent this world, and at the same moment, our kingdom of God will exist independently on the back side of reality, watching over the entire real world."
"President Xiao, can you imagine what kind of picture this is?"
"At that time, we will have supreme power, and the Hell Organizations have no roots in the city, so they are not worth mentioning."
"Dante's organization has always been out of the affairs of the cities, so they do not have the support of the cities, and only we can become the cornerstone of the kingdom of God."
"When the time comes, your ability will no longer be limited to one city, but the whole world, do you think that in this new world, the third archangel of the Kingdom of God will have a lower status than your current little Black Gate City President?"
ββ¦β¦β
Such a fascination brought some strange descriptions, and even Squishy felt a little scared.
She heard a kind of frenzy in Mr. Ann's description.
And fanatics are scary.
"In some places, the city of Sabbath has indeed gone further than other cities......
Even Xiao Huan couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
Now, there are still a considerable number of strangers in various cities, who are respectful of the aborigines, believing that they are monsters in human skin, and that they are flesh and blood monsters created by the will of the city.
They are simply dismissive and vulnerable to real-world power.
Even the Night Bottom City that I saw before was just using the pollution power of strangers to control the administrative power of the local city, so that it was convenient for me to make some arrangements.
The Sabbath City, on the other hand, not only accepted all this, but even began to dominate it.
At least so far, among the forces that Xiao Huan knows, there are only two people who have begun to use the power of the real world and the ability of strangers at the same time.
On the one hand, it is oneself.
On the other side is the current city of rest.
At this moment, it was indeed difficult for Xiao Huan to imagine what kind of situation would form once the plan of the Rest City was successful, and the Administration Hall of the Rest City they supported obtained the highest power in this world.
The highest power of reality is combined with the greatest power of mysterious sources.
After all, we will create a true kingdom of God, or will we completely bury the world?
β¦β¦
A lot of thoughts flashed in his heart, but Xiao Huan couldn't see it on the surface, and in the eyes of outsiders, he always had a faint smile on his face.
After listening to Mr. An's description, he immediately smiled and said, "That's very good, but I'm not very interested, I just came to return the card and go to the banquet." β
"Now, I've returned the card."
"Banquet ......"
ββ¦β¦β
He glanced down at the empty table, which didn't even have a plate, smiled and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and said, "The food is also very good." β
"So, it's time for me to take my leave!"
ββ¦β¦β
The faces of the people present changed suddenly.
Soft glanced at Xiao Huan in some surprise, lowered her head again, and a flash of excitement and expectation flashed in her eyes.
And next to the round table, the little knight who had picked them up before and showed him the city suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Huan coldly.
Mr. An stopped talking, and his long black and slender index finger nails tapped lightly on the tabletop.
Xiao Huan looked at their reactions, and suddenly smiled: "Rest City can't be so unreasonable, and we will detain the card that comes over, right?" β
"In the circle of strangers, this seems to be a very rude thing......"
ββ¦β¦β
These words were said by the hearts of those present who moved slightly.
There is a habit of returning information cards in the circle of strangers, so naturally there is a potential rule that is not unfavorable to the person who returns the card.
Once such a thing is done, it means rudeness and will be despised by the cities, which is a very big blow to the reputation of the city of Sabbath, which is respected as the head of all cities.
Tuk, tuk, tuk
Mr. An's black curly nails tapped lightly on the tabletop, and after hearing the words for a long time, he looked up at Xiao Huan and said with a smile: "The reputation in the circle of strangers? β
"Actually, the old man doesn't agree with the title of stranger."
"People who call themselves strangers are crazy, neurotic, they live in hallucinations, so they don't have a sense of belonging to the real world, so they think they're strangers, and they even want to escape from the real world."
"But Sabbath is different, we are to be the masters of the real world, so we are not strangers."
ββ¦β¦β
These words suddenly said softly, and his heart was slightly nervous, and he didn't admit that he was a stranger, which means that he was not ready to abide by the agreement of a stranger?
But then, the old gentleman An said: "Of course, we really can't keep President Xiao, this kind of big bullying small thing, the old man still disdains it......"
"It's just that before President Xiao leaves, some things still have to be made clear......"
ββ¦β¦ President Xiao, it has been many years since the old man has spoken so quietly to a young man like you. β
ββ¦β¦β
With a strange smile on his face, he looked at Xiao Huan gloomily: "Now, more than seventy percent of the cities have joined the Rest Alliance, ready to build the Kingdom of God with us. β
"And now, the old man is inviting you, who only have second-tier strength, to join the Rest Alliance with the sincerity of the first-tier city, and even promised you the position of one of the four angels, which is already very sincere, right?"
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Huan nodded: "Yes." β
Mr. An said in a low voice: "Then do you believe that more cities will join us, and even in the end, only you are left in Black Gate City?" β
Xiao Huan nodded: "Yes." β
"You describe it so well that very few people would refuse to be gods...... Even if it's just a slave of God. β
ββ¦β¦β
Mr. An was slightly silent: "Then why do you refuse?" β
"Just because you've described it so well......"
Xiao Huan smiled: "Any kind of thing that is too beautiful can easily lead to war......
Mr. An kept looking at Xiao Huan's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his eyes what he really thought in his heart, but all he saw was calm and relaxed.
After a long time, he sighed in a low voice: "No wonder you can inherit Kuang Juemin's position, your stubbornness and naivety are exactly the same as him." β
"Old man, there is no shortage of people to take the position of the archangel, but since you also know that no one can stop our plan, then we will not allow some things in Black Gate City......"
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Huan's expression was indifferent, and he said softly: "What does the old gentleman want to do?" β
"It's not about how you want to do it, it's about ...... you've already done it"
Mr. An spoke indifferently, as if he had lost all interest in continuing the conversation when he said this, and waved his hand lazily.
The little knight, who had not sat down at the round table and had not sat down, raised his head and slapped his palm gently.
The next moment, the secret door on the right side was opened, and a row of slender women wearing slender cheongsams rushed in, all of them holding a wooden tray in their hands, which was covered with black silk.
The little knight slapped his palm lightly, and the black silk on the tray slowly slid to the ground.
The things on the tray were terrifying, they were all pale and stiff dead heads, which looked still fresh, and they should have died not long ago.
And at the moment when the silk slid down, these dead heads, as if they had been stimulated by something, blinked their eyes slightly, and tried their best to open their already dim eyes and look at the wall next to them.
Suddenly, a faint picture appeared on the wall.
Seeing the picture on the wall, she immediately got up, and the metal wrench on her short leg was copied in her hand, and she clucked.
Xiao Huan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The three heads in front of them project a picture of three unfamiliar cities.
In the first picture, red-eyed Ling Ping is wearing an old-school British suit, holding a civilization stick in his hand, slowly walking on a wet stone path, but unlike his elegant gentleman's style, he is carrying a white backpack on his back, fluffy, and from time to time a chubby cat head pokes out of it, looks at the surrounding scene with disgust, and retracts back into the backpack.
At the end of the street, under a dim streetlamp, a man waited quietly.
He seemed to be very burly, but he happened to stand under the shadow of the street lamp, as if he was one with the black shadow.
"Mr. Taylor, we haven't seen each other for four years, and I feel very honored that you are willing to meet me, and even talk about Nightmare Anchor."
ββ¦β¦β
The red-eyed Ling Ping came to the bottom of the street lamp, about three meters away, stopped, and politely stretched out his hand to the other party.
In the black shadow under the street lamp, a pale and wet palm stretched out and shook hands with Ling Ping, and his voice was hoarse: "Mr. Ling Ping, to be honest, my curiosity is greater than my desire to trade. β
"You know, it was by chance that I strengthened the Pillow of Hugs into an anchor of nightmares, which is my lifeline."
"You have always been a sensible and gentlemanly person, what is the reason why such a person as you are willing to come and ask me if I want to sell such a valuable thing?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Came by Order......
Red-eyed Ling Ping smiled and said, "You should have also heard that the new president of our Black Gate City is a person with a bad temper, and I will definitely do my best to do what he orders." β
"How? The price is good, would you like to sit down and talk about the deal? β
ββ¦β¦β
The shadow under the street lamp laughed: "To be honest, I am willing, after all, this S-class forbidden item is not actually suitable for confrontation, nor is it suitable for solving distortion things." β
"It's a good deal to sell it, exchange it for something that suits me, and get an extra credit."
"It's a pity ......"
ββ¦β¦β
He paused slightly, and in the black shadow, two dark red eyes faintly appeared, with a slight mockery in them: "I was approached by a few other friends, and they mentioned another business to me......
As he spoke, the buildings around the wet path began to soften and melt.
Four or five men in black robes slowly walked out of the melted building, blocking Ling Ping's back path.
The shadow under the street lamp laughed in a low voice: "I think it's more cost-effective for them to leave you behind and then pay me 100,000 points......"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In another city, in the alleys full of garbage, Lao Zhou at the bottom of the bridge wore a black top hat and ate slowly in the drizzle, holding a box of braised beef-flavored instant noodles.
The rain kept pouring down into the instant noodles, but it didn't seem to affect his appetite.
He kept eating, and even drank the soup and rain in the bucket, and then wiped his mouth, put down the cardboard box, stepped on it, and put it into a snakeskin bag along with a bottle of mineral water at hand.
He got up, took a small flashlight in his mouth, lit up the map in his hand, drew a cross on it, and prepared to continue to another place.
But at this moment, he suddenly stopped, and at some point, there were scattered footsteps, the footsteps became louder and louder, more and more complicated, but there was no figure in sight, and Lao Zhou at the bottom of the bridge just stood silently, and said for a long time:
"I'm Old Zhou, the black hat of Black Gate City, and I came out to find something on the orders of our chief."
"Passing by your city, I just bought a bowl of noodles to eat, rest, and I'm going to leave now, I don't want to do much, and I ask you to let me go."
ββ¦β¦β
"Are you looking for the Eternal Helmsman?"
The scattered footsteps around sounded, but a shrill voice rang out: "Then don't look for it, we will know where he is." β
At the bottom of the bridge, Lao Zhou silently raised his head and said, "Say, the price." β
"We're going to have money, and we're willing to spend money on your news."
ββ¦β¦β
"Hehe, no need......"
The voice hiding in the dark smiled: "Let's let your president think about how much money should be spent to buy your life......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In another place, dressed up bewitching and sexy, a pair of slender thighs with a pair of big snake sisters with sky-high heels, they were sitting in a dark red room at this time, they were down-to-earth, found the city where the barren sail was located, and directly found the local alien organization, and put forward the conditions for exchanging that S-class special item, but as a result, more than a dozen silent people came at once, blocking them in the room, and a pair of dangerous eyes stared at them.
Sister Orochi suddenly panicked, and her sister said in a trembling voice: "Why are there so many people? β
"One or two are ok, a dozen...... The two of us can't bear it......"
ββ¦β¦β
My sister was also a little sluggish, then subconsciously licked her lips and hesitated: "Sister, why don't you try it first?" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The second step of Noah's plan requires seven major parts, and Xiao Huan sent the red-eyed Ling Ping, Lao Zhou at the bottom of the bridge, and the big snake sisters to find three of them.
But unexpectedly, now in the city of rest, I saw the shadow of their three people, and it was obvious that all three of them were in trouble, and even their lives were in danger.
Squishy knew that this was naturally not a coincidence, and finally understood where so many people in Rest City had gone.
She usually doesn't have a good relationship with these people, but after all, she is from Black Gate City, and she suddenly became angry and clenched the metal wrench in her hand.
And Xiao Huan, but he still maintained his calmness, took a serious look at the picture projected on the wall, and then politely looked at Mr. An on the other side of the round table, and said with a smile: "What does Mr. This mean?" β
"President Xiao, you're too young......"
Mr. An said lightly: "Not long after you awakened, you have already been promoted to the fourth stage, and even inherited the mysterious path left by Kuang Juemin, won a great victory in the gambling battle with the Hell Organization, hunted the secondary mysterious source with the support of the city's power, and even expelled Dr. Anti, one of the four great mentors of Dante's organization, from the city...... You are too smooth, so it is normal to be proud, but the old man wants to remind you that your understanding of the world is too shallow......"
"You misunderstand the world!"
ββ¦β¦β
As he spoke, he suddenly waved his hand again.
So, on the tray in the hands of the fourth cheongsam woman, the black silk was peeled off, and there was also a pale head, and a vague shadow was cast in the eye sockets.
A deep and dark city appeared in front of everyone's eyes, from some landmark buildings in this city, Xiao Huan and Soft immediately recognized that this city is the Black Gate City, and the position of this perspective is slowly appearing three figures.
These three figures are tall and short, but they all give people the feeling that they are powerful.
Squishy even saw spades, clubs, and squares on their bodies, or shoulders, similar to the hearts she had seen on the Knight of Hearts.
So, she immediately recognized the identities of these three people.
The three knights of Rest City, they actually appeared in front of the Black Gate City, with a certain cold and desperate aura, and walked side by side towards the Black Gate City, which is now an empty city.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"So, the old man doesn't actually plan to forcibly keep you."
Mr. An was sure that Xiao Huan knew what these pictures represented, especially the last one.
He looked at Xiao Huan indifferently and said slowly: "But the old man needs you to know that Kuang Juemin's Noah plan will make many people unhappy." β
"If you must betray most of the theocracies and fight against the kingdom of God."
"Then, maybe when you leave the city of Sabbath, you will face only a dead city."
ββ¦β¦β
"Brother Xiao, he ......"
Squishy suddenly became a little anxious, and the little short leg stepped on the chair with one on the round table, and the other metal wrench was also grasped in his hand.
She was extremely nervous in her heart, she didn't know how to do it in Rest City, so accurately blocked all the people in Black Gate City, but she clearly knew that there was no reliable person in Black Gate City now...... He and Xiao Huan have left, and only the useless little four are left there...... What else would that guy do but squat in the trash can to pick up cigarette butts, he faced the powerful three knights of Rest City, and it was estimated that he might not even dare to show up......
What can I do about this, when I go out, my home is gone?
Facing her anxiously, Xiao Huan waved his hand slightly, signaling her not to panic.
With a deep groan, he looked at Mr. An strangely: "You can actually arrange someone to block our people there so accurately, does it mean that you already know that these seven parts are what we need?" β
"Do you even know where those seven items are, and what information we can get now?"
ββ¦β¦β
Mr. Ann was silent, seemingly dismissing to answer these questions at all.
Xiao Huan laughed slowly, glanced at the huge, cold round table, and said, "Originally, this table could be full of people, right?" β
"But now you've all sent out, three big knights, thirty-six little knights......"
"Then I want to ask ......"
ββ¦β¦β
He groaned slightly, looked at Mr. An, and had a polite smile on his face: "If all these people are dead, will you feel distressed?" β
You have to do a good job of designing it later, the battle is the most difficult to write, you can't always meet with two people, and directly divide the victory and defeat with rock-paper-scissors, right?
The number of words is less for the time being, so let's design it first.
