"Father, why did you say such a thing to that young man? Prince Edsak only mentioned it before, you don't need to be so concerned, right? Hibbert Hall asked, a little puzzled and a little curious.

"Nothing." Earl Hall replied:

"It's just that this way can make the professor, who is still unknown, feel a little grateful to us."

"The kindness we showed was the least valuable of the chips we could come up with."

……

Crane was busy dealing with the various elites around him who had flocked to him because of Earl Hall's words, and he couldn't help but secretly complain. He looked at the people in front of him and wiped the beads of sweat that slowly soaked from his head.

It's, it's so welcoming...... Just a word, as for it...... Klein thought with some joy and a little tiredness. When the people here dispersed, he looked at the curly-haired young man who walked in front of him, and couldn't help asking:

"Who are you?"

"I'm a family." Amon pushed his monocle and said to Klein with a smile, "I see that so many people have come to talk to you at this banquet, so I wanted to ask you some questions, okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Klein raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. The literary workers he had seen before had come to know him as a person, and that was only because of the two sentences that Earl Hall had just said.

This gave Klein a greater understanding of the power of the world - no, not just in this world close to modern Britain, but in every world!

The family in front of him wanted to ask Klein a question, instead of pursuing utilitarianism, which made Klein suddenly feel a little more fond of him. Although he knew that this might be just words, the genes of "being good teachers" buried deep in the body of human beings still played a role, and Klein said with a smile: "Please sit down, let's talk while eating." ”

"Okay." Amon watched "Professor Moriarty" and endured the instinctive actions that directly parasitized him; He looked at the food shelf next to him - he rarely eats human food, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.

According to what was written in the "Divine Disguise Human Series" - "How to Get Along with People" recommended to him by the outer god, if you want to build a good relationship with people and get the news you want, you must first do similar things. Just like Professor Moriarty in front of him went to get a dessert, he should have asked for those things himself.

Of course, that only if you don't use extraordinary abilities.

Just as Amon was about to take a dessert and leave, he heard Klein beside him say gently: "If you don't have anything special to eat, I recommend you try the lemon cake over there, it still tastes good." ”

Amon was stunned: "Ah, thank you." ”

With that, he took a lemon cake and turned to sit down beside Crane. He looked at Crane, who was sipping sweet iced tea and cutting the cake, and sat up a little straighter, as the book taught.

It was also a rather novel experience for Amon, who had never communicated with such a weak human on an equal footing before - although he could tell that Professor Moriarty in front of him was already Sequence Seven, he was still no different from a normal person in Amon's eyes.

It's nothing more than the difference between one-moment parasitism and two-moment parasitism.

But it has to be said that Amon's learning ability is indeed outstanding. In just a few days, the god of deception had adjusted his speaking state to the same as that of an ordinary human. In terms of disguise, Amun was ranked among the gods.

He groaned, looked into Klein's eyes, and asked, "If you could avoid danger by hurting others when you were in danger, would you choose to do so?" ”

Amon felt that since the professor in front of him was so sought after, there must be merit. As it happens, Amon felt that he could test what "humanity" really meant through him.

Klein was stunned—he really didn't expect this family to ask such a question.

Klein pondered for a moment, and said tentatively in a half-joking tone, "You shouldn't have written my answer in, right?" Or are you a journalist coming to do an interview? ”

Klein had to guard against being investigated, after all, his identity could not stand up to scrutiny, and as long as he went to Tingen, he could easily find that his face resembled "Klein Moretti", who served as a night watchman in Tingen. And if it is found out that Benson and Melissa were also brought to Beckland by his relationship, then he will have a lot of fun.

At that time, Klein may have to directly consider whether to abscond with his family.

Why is it that no one believes me when I tell the truth...... Such a thought flashed through Amun's heart, and he shook his head gently: "No, I just want to know what others will do. ”

It seems that this young man may have encountered some kind of problem and has some trouble in his heart...... Was it through the choices involved? Crane pondered the thoughts of the person in front of him and said to Amon, "I will try to avoid danger, but I will not take the initiative to harm innocent people. Even if it might put me in danger, it would be against my heart. ”

"Even in the face of fate's mockery, we can't give up, we can't hurt innocent people......" Crane said to Amon in front of him, pushing the monocle that was about to slip off his left eye. He subconsciously said his experience when playing the "clown", which is also his deepest experience.

"Hehe, this sentence really seems to be the words of those god-like soothsayers." Amon remembered Zarathu and Antigone and said casually. But under this sentence, Klein's vigilance couldn't help but be pulled up a little, and after all the things he had been through, he was now extremely sensitive to the name of his sequence.

"Do you have any questions?" Crane continued to ask on the surface, but in fact he was ready to end the conversation. He vaguely felt that the young man in front of him might be an extraordinary person, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart about this person who didn't know what he meant.

"Yes." Amon nodded and asked Klein in front of him, "What I want to ask is:"

"If, in addition to your life, something is important enough for you; And on the other side of the scales are the lives and interests of people you don't know. Choosing between the two, which one would you give up? ”

Klein was silent.

He put down the knife and fork in his hand and was silent for two seconds. He looked up after deep thought and said:

"You're stumped me."

"I don't know what I'd do when I didn't have to do it."

Klein took a deep breath and solemnly said to the curly-haired young man in front of him, "But for now, I will try to prioritize saving the people I value, but I will not exchange my innocent life for my benefits." Even if I sacrifice, I will not choose to sacrifice others. ”

"Is this the answer you got after weighing your intellect and feelings?" Amon was incredulous at Crane's answer, and he asked, "Are you willing to give up your life?" Without life, there is no meaning to anything else. ”

Amon couldn't help but feel disgusted with this so-called "humanity"—could this really be something that could help him? Want Him to give up His life to save others? That's kind of ridiculous.

"It's just that some things are more important than life." Klein sighed: "When you feel that something is more important than your life, you will naturally choose the more important one." Some people may feel that their lives are more important and that there is no shame in them. ”

"For me, if that day does come, it's time for me to make a choice......"

Klein remembered the time he had fought against the divinity of the true Creator in Tingen.

"Then my life is only a necessary sacrifice."

Amon suddenly understood the professor in front of him understood human nature. The corners of His mouth turned up slightly, and he whispered:

"Funny ......"

"Even people who are not tainted by divinity will choose what is more important to them, no different from mythical creatures."

"Of course, I don't know, and I don't care what is important to those humans. But why did my father know and think that only by understanding these things did he understand what human nature was? Isn't the father a natural mythical creature? Didn't He separate the 'Sea of Chaos' and come out of it as a god? ”

"I need to know more about human beings, most of them are stupid, but some of them are really funny, and they can make such a choice after thinking rationally......"

"Maybe I can choose the low-order extraordinary."

Thinking of this, Amon raised his head and looked at Klein in front of him. He reached out and took Klein's hand, "Thank you very much, I have many doubts cleared now...... Well, what's your name, please? ”

"Sherlock, Sherlock Moriarty. I am a professor of history. Klein smiled and asked politely, "What's your name?" ”

"Ah, my name is Amon, a family." Amon's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Judging by your reaction, you seem to know me?" ”

Klein's whole body stiffened, he naturally knew Amon, it was a dangerous high-sequence person who Gao Wei had told him a few times before that he needed to pay attention to! It's just that Klein didn't expect that the person in front of him, who didn't look like Amon, would be-

Crane subconsciously wanted to break free from Amon's grip, but he grabbed his wrist tightly, so that Crane couldn't break free. Amon pushed his monocle and took it off Klein's face to put it on his right eye!

Although in order to avoid the sight of others, this Amun's sequence has not yet reached the demigod and has no parasitic ability. But He can use the occult connection of the "Right Eye Monocle" to the "Angel of Time" to complete the parasitism of his own being!

He wanted to know what secret was in this man who knew him!

Klein's pupils constricted, he snapped his fingers, and the match in his pocket lit up, distorting the light in the distance for a moment. The spell made with the divinity of the "True Creator" that had been exchanged for the privilege of the Dependant was instantly activated, causing the head of Amon to be enveloped in black air, and the brain was also stagnant for a moment.

His figure suddenly appeared at the table more than 20 meters away, knocking over a whole row of shelves! Crane didn't have time to think about the consequences of this, and continued to use the flame jump to prepare to leave the scene.

At this moment, Klein felt a familiar sense of lucidity, just now he was dragged into a dream by an extraordinary person of the "night" pathway! But in an instant, the dream was gone.

Klein rolled around on the ground, hurriedly surveying the guests around him. Their movements slowed and stiffened, as if they were immersed in a sweet dream. A pair of cold eyes stared at Crane, causing Crane's body to tremble.

"Captain......" Klein smiled bitterly, snapped his fingers, and disappeared in place with the burning flames. Dunn was just about to pursue, but found an old man patting him on the shoulder: "No need to chase, Dunn, he is a member of the church. ”

"But......" Dunn wanted to retort, he had just felt the breath of divinity belonging to the "true creator" from that man.

Dunn, who has been tainted by the true Creator, knows all too well what the divinity of the True Creator feels like. But Dunn watched as the Archbishop of Bakeland, Anthony Stevenson of Sequence 3, blocked the view of others with his body, and tapped four times on his chest to draw the shape of a "Crimson Moon".

"It's a secret."

Anthony said softly, listening to the archbishop's words, Dunn seemed to understand something, and was silent for a while, ready to deal with the guests who saw the extraordinary - since the archbishop said so, then they must cover for "Professor Moriarty".

Anthony took out a stiff and dead "Time Worm" from the young man's mouth, and looked thoughtfully at Leonard, who was standing aside, with a pale face. He whispered a phrase and prepared to carry out the oracle of the goddess.

Leonard didn't expect that Amon that Pales had just said was right next to him.

It wasn't just Klein who was scared, but Leonard and Parles.

……

Godforsaken land.

"I think Klein is going to be completely abducted by the Aurora Society." Amanisis looked at the true Creator and whispered. The True Creator silently reverted back to the state of the Hanged Man and changed the direction of his cross.

"Go find a high-dimensional seeker." After a long silence, the True Creator said, "It has nothing to do with me, I didn't kidnap him." ”

“…… I mean, let Klein have a name in the Church of the Night. Amanisis put his hands in front of him and stared at the scarlet one-eyed of the true creator: "We have to keep betting, or he may fall to the stars under the spell of the outer gods." ”

"Even if He is from the same hometown as us, I don't dare bet on how much humanity is left in His heart."

"There is even a possibility that we do not have the same definition of human nature as He does."

“…… I know. ”

The True Creator's voice was low: "It's about to begin." ”

Amanisis nodded, looking into the distance, silently dissipating in the darkness.

There is one shift today, and there are still three shifts left -
