Chapter 14: The Bell of Civilization

Eight o'clock in the evening in Greenwich.

The scheduled opening time for the banquet has arrived.

The Duke of Reinhardt stood up from his seat in the banquet hall and raised his glass.

"Ladies and gentlemen, history and heritage have given us the glory we have now.

But it is precisely because of this that when we are crowned with those glories, we are correspondingly burdened with the responsibility of being noble.

The catastrophe brought about by the ruins and the abyssal frontier and the changes in the world caused by supernatural forces.

No one can pull out, we can only choose to move forward. ”

The next second.

Just as he was about to say the theme of the banquet.

Gunshots rang out.

The pivot points of the huge crystal lamp in the banquet hall began to shake violently and were about to fall.

Danger is coming!

Sophia sat at table three, close to where the danger was happening.

She resisted her fear and prepared to leave.

Right now.

The interpreter at the table, who did not have a high sense of presence, silently took out a gun and pointed it behind her.

Feel the cold touch of the murder weapon behind him.

Sophia thought back to the account of the disaster she had seen in the file.

The fear of death also enveloped her instantly.

Bang!

Gunshots rang out.

Sophia didn't feel the pain.

Opposite.

The gun pointing at her slipped limply away.

The girl looked to the location where the silencer was coming from the pistol gunshot.

There stood a handsome gentleman.

After cleaning up the killers next to Sophia.

He didn't stop.

Instead, he raised his gun neatly and killed another killer disguised as a waiter in the distance.

In the end, the handsome strange gentleman stood in front of the Duke of Bavaria without hesitation at the moment when the enemy was about to stab him.

Ended up with the last two killers.

That picture.

In the later Times, it was also included in key positions for large descriptions.

Sophia gradually calmed down from the fear of being on the verge of death.

She never imagined that she would encounter the Transcendent Killer under the heavily guarded clock tower.

I never thought I would be saved like this.

As the heir to the Duke's family, Sophia Reinhardt is no stranger to more and more transcendent phenomena that are happening in this world.

After all

In the upper class with top scientific research laboratories.

It is not a secret that the flow of active dark matter brought about by the change of cosmic background radiation is compared to the description of "weak interaction has a mass particle field".

Perhaps the 'magic' of Celtic legends, or the 'psychic' of scientific research, would be more accurate.

Sophia stood in the corner.

Look at the handsome young man who stood in front of his father.

She silently wrote down the name.

【Night Watchman】

Mademoiselle Duke stood at the edge of the banquet hall and watched the two of them communicating calmly.

On one side is the handsome Mr. Night's Watch, and on the other is her father, Duke Joseph, the lion of Bavaria.

Topics that should have been discussed at a gala dinner.

But it continued in the blazing banquet hall.

"You want the justice that's established in the bill.

Do you think that the disaster on the scene was not caused by the transcendents? ”

"The transcendent is not a whole."

Su Wen replied with a smile,

"In other words, honorable duke, do you want this confrontation to become an identity war like 'racial discrimination'?"

Whether it is 'privilege' or 'discrimination', it breeds antagonism.

Taking a fair trial as the benchmark and treating everyone equally under the law is the utmost respect. ”

The Elizabeth Tower, formerly known as the Clock Tower, is commonly known as Big Ben.

Located on the banks of the River Thames in London, England, it is an annex to the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster, the Houses of Parliament of the United Kingdom, and is a landmark of London.

Meantime.

At the moment when the Equality Act was signed.

The heavy bell that marked the key point in time of civilization was gradually ringing.

Resounding along the River Thames, reverberating throughout London.

And in today's "Times", there is also a huge headline:

[The banquet hall with fire belongs to the extraordinary eve of dawn]

This report, written by Mr. Ted, England's most authoritative editor-in-chief, is also the opening conclusion of the Age of Origins.

Thereinto.

A strange night watchman became a key figure second only to the Duke of Reinhardt.

His grim and handsome face when he executed the killer was also printed on the front page of the newspaper as a cover.

"The dawn of the fire, good coverage."

Su Wen sat in the living room of the Mental Censorship Bureau and closed the newspaper with a smile.

"The Times, I bought it on the side of the road. As a researcher, you should not only be limited to the present, but also have a global vision. ”

He was well aware of the Psychiatric Censorship's extremely strict enforcement process.

The fire-breathing guy was directly imprisoned by the New City Law Enforcement Bureau.

And now.

Compared to the rigorous scrutiny of the process.

Probably he could spare his mind to think about which bookstore he was going to visit with Miss Jiang in the afternoon.

"Mr. Su Wen, first of all, on behalf of the Binhai City Mental Review Bureau, I would like to thank you for your courageous move."

"Officer Zhuyu, I just did what I could.

Do you know how long it has been since human beings discovered fire, feared it, and used it to survive the winter? ”

"I don't know."

"The people of Xihou Du are a million years ago.

It was the earliest surviving record of a civilization in human history that used fire.

Of course, after the Age of Origins, you can also imagine the flames as the wisdom stolen by Prometheus.

But it wasn't until 1805 that the famous French chemist Louis Jacques Dennard invented the safe match that extended modern civilization to this point.

It took millions of years for humanity to accept the flame as science.

And do you know how long it took for society to accept the transcendent as a daily routine?

Until today.

Five years and seven months. ”

Su Wen said calmly.

"It's the progress of civilization."

Across from him.

For some reason, the Censorship Secret Service Captain always felt that the teenager sitting in front of him was not a lazy college student in a background check.

Even, he makes it more difficult for him to see than some criminals who are well versed in psychology,

"Mr. Su Wen, I invite you to join the Mental Censorship Bureau again."

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I have no interest in joining the Censorship.

By the way, Officer Zhu Yu, the 'night watchman' on the cover was also specifically mentioned in the news.

The Night's Watch Organization, for you, is it a peer or a superior unit. ”

"The Night's Watch Protocol is a high-functioning guardian organization jointly established by the countries of the world with independent adjudication power, and in general, it does belong to the parent organization."

"Interesting architecture, I see."

Half an hour later.

After Su Wen left for a while.

One of the team members came to the side of the Secret Service Captain, who was still seated.

"Brother Zhu, the results of Su Wen's examination are out."

"What's the result, is there a problem?"

"Why do you ask that, did he appear mentally abnormal during the questioning?"

"No, quite the opposite.

He was too sober. ”

Zhu Yu didn't feel that the clothes on his body had been soaked with sweat more than once.

He took the grading paper.

It is impressively printed:

[Mental clarity value: unsullied. Mental Pollution Offset Index: 0.0001 (unmeasurable)】

Since the ignorance was burned out in the flames of that night.

[Sublimation Lineage: Just Knight] falls down the mark.

As the only arbiter in this world.

Except for Su Wen himself.

There is probably no one else who can judge him who has opened the way for civilization.
