"Because...... You should have died a long time ago. ”

"What do you mean?"

The thin man with black hair and black eyes smiled and didn't talk, but Carmen couldn't help but think of the Soul Eater incident a long time ago, and if it wasn't for Rann, he really ......

"I'm curious about who helped you." The Prophet asked lazily as he leaned against the stump, and Carmen's heart tightened, and she pursed the corners of her mouth and did not speak.

"Well, I can guess even if you don't say it." The Prophet said, "After all, the Kamuyi had no tradition of serving other gods. ”

"What the hell are you here for?!" Carmen couldn't help but ask, looking at the Prophet with a little more wariness in his gaze, and he kept praying in his heart that Rann's gaze would be noticed.

"Don't be nervous, I'm really just here to meet old friends."

"Then you've seen it, you can go." Carmen said coldly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, he did have a friendship with the Prophet, but the relationship between the two was not close enough to the level of friends, and the Prophet had clearly said before, 'I didn't expect to see him here'

That is, the prophet did not come to him.

"......Who is the old friend you want to meet?"

"He's already here." The Prophet smiled.

Carmen looked strangely from side to side, but saw no one, only him, the Prophet, a vagabond.

Wait, bum?

When setting up the venue, they had obviously driven away all the irrelevant people in the park.

The homeless man's body moved, and the next second he opened his eyes, and his brown pupils turned silvery white in an instant.

He stood up, and the temperament around him changed in an instant, and his sloppy appearance and sour coat could not stop the mystery and the momentum of the superior emanating from within.

The homeless man sat on the stump in a random position: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Come and see, and don't you say, come and see an old friend," said the Prophet with a smile, "and whoever let someone not go out of the door, I dare not go to your inspection office, and only at this point in time can I see you in this place." ”

"Don't use your ability to speculate on my whereabouts, do you think you've lived too long?"

"Eh, you're right, I've lived enough."

Carmen watched the conversation between the homeless man and the prophet in confusion, and from their familiar conversation, it was not difficult to hear that the homeless man was an old friend whom the Prophet had come to meet.

No, it shouldn't be a homeless man, judging from the momentum he exudes, the inner core may have changed.

The prophet changed his words and looked at Carmen with a smile: "It's rare for the three of us to get together again, I think it's been hundreds of years. ”

Carmen didn't answer, if what the prophet said was true, now that homeless man is fate inside?

Why do the legendary Three Sages gather here? What exactly is the purpose of their coming here?

"It doesn't make sense." Fate coldly commented on the prophet's statement, his eyes swept over Carmen, and for a moment Carmen felt as if his whole person had been seen through by those translucent silver eyes, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

In the next second, fate frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"What do you see?" The Prophet asked curiously, and seeing that fate did not answer, he said to himself, "No, I have not seen anything." ”

Fate did not speak, but this attitude was already tacit.

The Prophet hissed softly and handed his flask to Fate: "This is a strange thing. ”

"It doesn't count." Fate took the flask, "I've seen enough strange things since I've been here. ”

"Oh, you think this city is special, too, don't you?"

"The balance is still fragile, but it's a way out."

What kind of dumb riddle are they playing? Carmen listened in confusion, and although she didn't understand, she still subconsciously recorded it.

Not far from them, there was another player doing the same thing.

That's right, players.

As a player, how can you not do something in such a lively gathering, and do a good job of buying things, is that what the fourth natural disaster should do?

The above righteous and strict words come from Ah Long, who frantically threw and sneaked as soon as he entered the venue.

In fact, he originally planned to live the whole event at the rally, but because of the movement on the black cat's side, he noticed Carmen, and noticed that a strange NPC called Carmen, Aaron followed curiously, but he didn't expect to hear such a powerful thing.

I don't know what they're talking about, but these two new NPCs are big guys at first glance!

This momentum, this Riddler's attitude!

[It feels like a new plot.] 】

[Aaron, why are you eavesdropping again. 】

[You can always overhear key information, which is also a skill (lighting a cigarette)]

[Huh? I originally thought that this game activity was just about buying and selling things, and there might be a favorite link such as picking up leaks, but in fact, there is another story? 】

"Didn't you listen to their conversations? 'Hundreds of years' 'Inspectorate' 'should have died', hiss...... I feel like these guys are so big. 】

[I feel this way too, it must be the key plot! ] 】

Aaron thought the same thing, and he listened with bated breath.

"So you're here to meet the master of the city?" The Prophet asked, "You don't look like someone who has such leisure." ”

"Let's do something."

"Is there anything I need to do in person?" The Prophet teased.

Fate was silent for a while, and said, "I have no way to see through the fate of this city. ”

The prophet was stunned.

"The city was supposed to disappear a few months ago, but it still exists, and since then, fate has been upset and the future has become a fog again," said fate, "so I felt compelled to come and visit for myself, and when I saw the city with my own eyes, I realized that I had come to the right place." ”

"Has fate changed so much?" The Prophet looked at Carmen, "This is indeed interesting. ”

He suddenly turned to look in a direction and said loudly:

"That's what he said, what do you think? More than us, do we have the privilege of meeting the Lord of Arkham? ”

One second, two seconds.

The Prophet scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hey, is there really no one here?" But I obviously feel like someone is watching here? ”

[Aaron, they won't be talking about you. 】

[Grass, wouldn't it be embarrassing to go out now. 】

[But Aaron is not Rann, hhhh, you won't be killed when you go out.] 】

Ah Long himself felt very embarrassed, he wanted to say that he was a live plot, the big guys just treated him as a camera, don't care, but seeing that the prophet's eyes were already in the direction where he was, he was obviously sure that there were people here, and it was useless to hide, Ah Long was just about to grit his teeth and walk out, when he suddenly found that a golden point of light appeared around him.

Babbling.

The plants moved slowly, knotted together like pythons, faintly outlining the outline of a young man, and at last the rough bark of the plant turned into white and smooth skin, and the branches became intricate horns.

Rann stepped out of the tree, covered in white cloth, and glanced at Aaron sneaking beside him.

[prprprprpr wife! ] 】

[Ahhhh 】

[Rann obviously found the sneaking Aaron bar, but at this time there was a firepower to attract fire, woo woo is too favored.] 】

[Aaron, how can you do it, hurry up and let me come! ] 】

Rann had already turned his gaze to Carmen's side as he prayed, and when he heard what they were exchanging, his guard snapped up.

He knows more than the player, and it is now almost certain that the director of the Inspection Bureau is likely to be the legendary 'fate', and from their conversation, this suspicion has also been confirmed, but he didn't expect this gathering to attract him, and even the prophet with the least information is here!

What exactly are they here for?

Rann thought about it for a long time, but still chose to appear, no matter how Arkham is his kingdom, he can't still be wild here by these two people, if they really plan to do something, they can quickly take them down.

And in the eyes of the prophet and fate, the appearance of that mysterious god is far more secret and grand than imagined.

They can perceive more things than ordinary people, and their inspiration is far beyond the limits of human beings, so they can see more things than Aaron.

At the moment of the appearance of the mysterious god of sheep's horns, the plants of the forest seemed to be cheering, whispering in their ears the greatness of the faun, the loud hymn, as if to assimilate them into his followers.

Yes, in their perception these plants are alive, and each plant has a concentration of spirituality that is not low in concentration, which in the eyes of those who know what spirituality really is, the information contained is simply chilling.

If you are a person with high inspiration, the moment you enter this city, you will probably be assimilated into this 'forest' and become a member of the Faun devotees, he will kneel on the ground and pray with the 'plants' until the same roots grow on his knees, and he will not close his eyes for days and nights until he becomes a part of the 'forest' completely.

Akamur is full of trees, and in their eyes it is as if it is the kingdom of God on earth supported by human pillars, this is the pollution of the faun, this is the kingdom of the faun.

At the moment of Ranne's appearance, Carmen had already lowered his head to the distance two steps behind him, and the Prophet bowed his head in the direction Rann had come, avoiding looking directly at his face as a sign of respect, while Fate stood indifferent, looking only into the distance.

"Salute to you, Lord of the Forest, Lord of Arkham." The Prophet was the first to say hello.

Rann was surprised by the Prophet's rather measured courtesy, but he quickly reacted and began to force business: "No need to be polite.

”

The Prophet relaxed again, Rann raised his right hand, and the forest moved instantly, the vines on the ground entangled, the stumps rose from the earth, and soon four chairs appeared in the clearing.

"Those who come are guests, sit down."

The Prophet was amazed at Ran's easy-goingness, but quickly calmed down and consciously sat between Rann and fate.

So the seats now become: Fate, Prophet, Ran, Carmen.

Carmen also sat down in her chair at Rann's motion.

"Allow me to apologize for not being the first to come to your realm." Know first.

"It doesn't matter." Rann said lightly, raising his eyes to look at the calm face of Fate, "The person who comes is a guest, of course, the premise is to follow the rules of the guest." ”

"Naturally, I will comply." The Prophet smiled, he was wise not to say 'we', who knows what fate is here to do, anyway, he has no confidence to do anything in the kingdom of the Faun, "After all, this is a very special city, and we have no intention of upsetting the balance you have created." ”

[Balance? What balance? 】

[They seem to be talking about balance before?] Is there anything Rann did that we don't know about? 】

The barrage in Aaron's live broadcast room was very confused, but as everyone knows, Rann himself was even more confused.

Seeing that Rann did not speak, but did not object, the Prophet struck while the iron was hot, and said, "When I heard that a god had appeared in Arkham, I thought that another city was about to be in ruins...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rebuke you, I know that even if God doesn't mean anything towards humans, it's that we're too fragile as ants living around giants, and even if giants don't mean that, just a gesture is enough for ants to perish round after round. ”

Just like the tragedies that the prophets have seen in the long history of the cultists summoning evil gods again and again, in fact, sometimes the gods summoned by the believers do not have the same malice towards human beings, but they only exist for a moment, and human beings will die spontaneously.

This has nothing to do with whether it is an ancient god or an evil god, the main thing is that the life level is too far apart.

The Prophet couldn't really tell which faction Rann belonged to, but either faction was deadly to humanity.

Therefore, when he saw Arkham with his own eyes, the prophet was so surprised, not for the overwhelming 'forest', but for the Arkham people who still maintained normal order under the forest.

"Therefore, I am very touched by a god like you who bends down to care for the feelings of the ants," the Prophet browled his eyebrows, "and though I don't know how you did it, there is no doubt that you have created an illusory bliss for the Arkhams, keeping them away from the truth of madness. ”

Rann had guessed that the reason why the evil god could shuttle through the fog without fear of pollution like the weird was because the evil god was a greater source of pollution, and this guess was indeed correct, so since Arkham had become his earthly god, then the people living here would be gradually polluted according to normal laws, and their thinking would be gradually disturbed by the trees, and their inspiration would rise, and the day they saw Arkham's 'true' vision would be the time to assimilate into the forest.

This is the evil god, and even if they are as gentle as Rann, they cannot reduce their own pollution.

But coincidentally, because of pity, Lane used the power of dreams to influence the dreams of the Arkham people, which is a symbol of the subconscious, and Lane gave the 'Arkham' people a sweet dream that they would not wake up, that is, people who changed their subconscious and refused to admit the change in their worldview may not see the real Arkham for the rest of their lives.

As for the heretics who suddenly saw the real Arkham, it was mainly because they were unlucky, these people were originally very inspired, and when Rann used the power of the dream realm, he accidentally emitted a little mist, which was inhaled by them, causing a brief period of madness. In the madness, they saw the real Arkham again.

This is also the reason why the previous prophets and fate said that this is a special city, a city that is generally occupied by evil gods, and at this time the inhabitants of the inhabitants should have begun to slide into the abyss of madness, and the healthy mental state of the Arkham people is a special case.

However, because Rann was an evil god for the first time, he actually didn't know this problem very well, and it could be regarded as a crooked fight.

Rann was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer for a moment, and finally could only say, "This is my kingdom." ”

My place, I will naturally protect.

The Prophet understood his subtext, smiled and was about to answer when Fate spoke, "May I assume that you are the one who is gentle on humanity?" ”

The Prophet frowned and looked at Fate, who simply looked directly at Rann calmly.

"It's not up to me." Rann looked back at fate's gaze, his eyes under the white cloth narrowed slightly, "Then what about you, what position are you standing on to ask me?" Is it the leader of humanity? ”

The Prophet waved his hand repeatedly: "When is that time, even if I stand up now and say that I want to lead the human race, I must first run for president in the proper order...... There's a good chance I won't be able to. ”

He said a quip, probably trying to lighten the mood, but fate didn't laugh, and he still looked Rann in the eye, as if waiting for him to reply.

The corners of Ran's mouth were slightly raised, and it was clear that there were indeed people here who believed that they were still the guardians of humanity and questioned the gods.

It's ironic, especially when Rann learns that the fall of Mita might have something to do with fate.

"I said," Rann said calmly, "it depends, human. ”

The atmosphere froze, as if the air had clumped, and finally fate said, "I see." ”

What did he understand?

"I'm really here for only two purposes, one is to find out why Arkham didn't disappear, I already know that," Fate's eyes fell lightly on Rann before quickly moving away, "The other purpose is that I want to ask you how many people you want. ”

Rann already had a guess in his heart, and he sneered, "Who? ”

"Archie, Cullens, Albert, Edmund, Kerry, and Amos," said fate, "I know that I should also be able to see what I can see, or else I can't explain that you have taken them right into your domain...... But I beg you, hand them over to me. ”

He faced Rann and bent down, the first time the mysterious man had bowed to Rann since he appeared.

Rann was confused, although he had already known from Amos that fate had chosen to target his followers for some reason, but why was Amos' name still here...... And why did fate have to kill them?

He had a vague feeling that there must be a bigger secret in this, which should have something to do with what fate said about 'things that can be seen', but who knows, Rann can't see it at all.

But the opportunity was in front of him, and Rann was determined to try it out.

Fortunately, they have been wearing white cloths recently, and others can't see their expressions, Rann sorted out his emotions and words, and pretended not to care and chuckled: "You mean, you want me to hand over my own believers?" ”

"Yes."

"Just by your word?"

"I can take the Inspectorate in exchange." Fate said.

The Prophet stared at him in amazement: "Are you crazy? The Inspectorate is your thousand-year-old effort, and it's not just yours. ”

Fate: "It's mine." ”

He waited for Rann's reply, but the Prophet didn't care, he tugged at the collar of fate, "Why on earth are you doing this?" Tell me why! ”

That's right. Rann silently cheered for the prophet in his heart.

"Because they are seven key nodes on the line of destiny of human destruction." Faced with the Prophet's incomprehension, Fate glanced at Rann and explained, "These men have played a key role in the direction of human destruction. ”

The fate line of human destruction?

Rann thought of the power of fate, and a solemn look flashed in his eyebrows.

"Human destruction? You didn't tell me about that. The Prophet was stunned.

However, fate was tired of it, and he waved away the prophet's hand: "You know that this will come sooner or later, so what can you do if you know." ”

Sooner or later?

No, if according to fate, Kerry and these people really played a key role in the direction of human destruction, the time point of human destruction should be within these decades.

Suddenly I knew that the world was about to be destroyed...... Rann wasn't so surprised, but he had a feeling that he had finally arrived.

After all, it's a game.,I know how to understand.,The main line is most likely to prevent the evil god from destroying the world.,I haven't saved the world a few times.,How embarrassed to call yourself an investigator.。

Wait a minute, according to the logic of fate, he saw the direction of the destruction of the world in advance, so every choice he made was to try to avoid falling to the worst outcome?

Rann was thoughtful, mainly because of the information explosion he had experienced in his previous life, as well as the setting of many games, and the existing information was enough for Ran's ability to speculate on the mysterious fate.

And at this moment, Aaron's live broadcast room has exploded.

He never expected that it was just a daily sneak of Diao Min, and he accidentally witnessed such critical information!

[, the amount of intelligence is exploding, and the world is going to be destroyed? 】

[Is there anything surprising about this, isn't there always a prophecy of 'the day when the stars return to their positions' in the worldview of the world of the gram system, I thought everyone would default to the fact that the world would not last long (picking their noses)]

[This should be regarded as a big main line! It's even the ultimate main line of the game.,Is it really okay if it's out now? 】

[Yes, I thought the theme of this version was the darkness of the Inspection Bureau]

[How to say, if this fate is really the director of the Inspection Bureau, judging from what he just said, is he really a villain]

[As expected, his ability should be the kind that can see the fate of mankind, and then everything he does is to avoid this fate?] That sounds pretty normal. 】

[Didn't you hear him say, this is going to sacrifice Archie and them, qwq]

[But from the macro perspective of the human race as a whole, sacrificing a few people to protect the human race is a completely acceptable option, right? 】

The barrage directly started a big quarrel, and as expected, someone had already uploaded the information to the forum, and a bigger quarrel was coming.

[Don't argue, the plot isn't over yet! ] Listen to it first! 】：，，.
