Chapter 29: The Girl on the Shores of Lake Trito (12)
(Content corrected)
Pattani sat in front of the telescope and stared at the Hydra Mansion not far away, the billowing smoke obscuring the moonlight, and the slum that should have been pitch black at this point in time was not plunged into darkness, and the towering sin capital had become a torch that lit up the entire slum, illuminating the unlit Aristotelian neighborhood.
At this time, the fire had not yet spread, and the people living in the slums were standing in the narrow alleys eating melons and watching, the light of the fire reflected the numb faces, and children jumping up and down and playing excitedly, and no one noticed that there were also houses in the neighborhood that were on fire.
Patani was condescending, and he was using a telescope to observe, he could clearly see the overall situation, and he was naturally aware of the danger, thinking that after eight o'clock, the slum would not only have no power but also no water, Patani was frightened, turned his head and asked: "Bright, why haven't the people from the Athens Fire Department come yet?"
"Sir, I've already made several calls..... "Bright said helplessly, "To be honest, I don't think they want to come at all, every substation says that this block is not under their control, I called the main office, they said they are learning about the situation, and then I called again, they told me that the neighborhood near Aristotle Road has not paid taxes for many years, they can't take care of it, they suggested that we find a private fire company, and gave me a contact number....."
"A bunch of bastards. Patani scolded angrily, and she got up and walked away from the binoculars, "Forget it, I'll contact Director Kamenis directly, it's a matter of hundreds of thousands of refugees' lives." β
Bright shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn't help, and Patani pulled his cell phone out of his jacket pocket and dialed Director Kaminis. She held the phone and watched the blazing Hydra anxiously pace back and forth in front of the window, but the long sound of the phone was repeated countless times, and the last response was "The call you made was not answered for the time being".
Patani was reluctant to dial again, and the same was true.
Although the Athens police are not very cooperative with Interpol's work, the sleek Kaminis is still warm to her in private, and Patani knows that she is a beautiful woman, and she has known the lethality of her appearance since she was a child, and there are only a few reasons why a man does not answer her calls.
It's not time to rest yet, let alone face this situation, it's impossible to rest. Then the reason why Kamenis doesn't answer the phone is worth playing.
After a moment's thought, Patani dialed Pierre's phone, Interpol and the Athens police are certainly not as close as Europa's External Action Service and the Athens police, and she thinks that Pierre should have more accurate information.
It only rang twice, and Pierre answered the phone quickly, and Patarni first heard a faint commotion, and then Pierre said to her with some excitement: "Hey, Patarni, I'm glad to receive your call, is there anything wrong?"
"The Hydra Mansion is on fire!" Pattani said.
"Oh, I know, I see it. β
Pierre's voice was calm, and he didn't seem surprised that Hydra was on fire. Pattani has been a police officer for many years, and she has cultivated a certain intuition, and she subconsciously thinks that maybe Europa External Action Service knows that Hydra will catch fire, so she said: "I called the Athens Fire Department, but no one on their side took care of it, and now I see that not only the Hydra Building, but also houses in the slums are on fire, and if it is not controlled in time, the entire slum will be burned...... Ayala raised her hand and stroked her forehead, "My God, I can't imagine what a terrible disaster it will be." ......β
"Pattani, don't be nervous, it's good for us for the time being, there's no better opportunity to get involved in the investigation of Hydra. As for the fires in the slums..... Those are all bungalows, and they should be well extinguished......"
"I'm afraid that the fire will spread very quickly, you know, there are no fire facilities in the slums, I suspect that there is not necessarily water in the fire hydrants on the streets, the most terrible thing is that there are combustibles everywhere, the streets are narrow, there are few exits, there are hundreds of thousands of people living in it, if you don't intervene quickly, there will be a big problem!"
"Don't worry, Patani, it's going to be fine, the Athenian government isn't worried about what you're worried about? Besides, the people of Hydra won't do nothing, right?"
"How can I rest assured? My colleague is still in the Hydra Mansion, he has been lurking in the Black Triangle for almost ten years before he has the opportunity to come into contact with the Hydra higher-ups, and now I can't contact him at all, I don't want him to die at the hands of the Black Death, but be burned to death by a fire.....
"I see, Pattani. But now it's useless to worry, even if the fire truck can arrive, it is impossible to put out the fire immediately and save your people, high-rise building fire extinguishing is a problem, not to mention the slum fire truck can't get in at all. β
"Aren't you the Chosen One? Don't you have a Chosen One in the Europa Action Agency? Why don't you call them out?"
"Patani, we are the Chosen One, some of our skills can indeed extinguish fires, but that is when there is no one in the fire, if there are people in the fire, we use our skills to extinguish the fire, and the people in the fire are likely to be killed by mistake. There is also the carrier of the Chosen One who is not as invincible as Superman in the movie, he can go to the sky and the earth at will, he is not afraid of bullets, he is not afraid of fire, he can withstand a train collision, he can continue to crash a plane, and he is not even afraid of nuclear weapons........ No, it's not like that, if the carrier was really so invincible, there would be no Chernobyl...... In fact, only a few Chosen One can do it......"
"You didn't say that when you had dinner with me the day before yesterday, you told me that the Chosen are omnipotent, that people like you control the development of science and technology, and dominate the course of human history, and now tell me that the Chosen One can't do anything about even a small fire?" Patani sneered and said with a slight irony, she knew the general weakness of men's character, and was particularly fond of recklessness in front of women, especially beautiful women, like a male peacock spreading his brilliant tail feathers in front of a female peacock.
Sure enough, Pierre on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Hey, Patani, don't worry, we have a warning about this matter, Mr. Gaion has already gone to see the people of the Sila military, and there will be no big trouble......"
"The Sila military?"
Pierre coughed dryly and said, "I've already violated discipline by telling you this, and I can't say any more, in short, you can rest assured." β
Patani did not speak, even if she was no longer sensitive to politics, she also knew that the military and the incumbent commander of the West Continent did not get along well, as the birthplace of the MZ system, the West Rah's electoral system was very flawed, and it was designed to fully represent the will of the people, so the result was that politicians in order to be elected, put on a show in front of people, and betray the country later.
For example, the current one knows how to put on a show, wears a shirt without a tie, rides a broken motorcycle around the city of Athens every day, and sometimes sits in the back seat of the motorcycle with his wife, just like a scene from a movie. When a reporter follows, they will also find a bar, although there are countless wines in the cellar of the family, they only order beer, and never order foreign red wine, making the appearance of being close to the people at the bottom.
Behind the scenes, they wantonly sold Greek assets, sold businesses, sold land, and sold ports......
So as a politician in Xila, acting skills are more important than ability, as long as the acting is good, the people will buy it, ride a bicycle to walk around the street, queue up at Internet celebrity restaurants to buy breakfast, and support all kinds of equal rights with celebrities and Internet celebrities on Twitter. Everyone follows the script, and whoever plays well and who plays it realistically enough will get votes.
As for the ability to govern, it doesn't matter, don't panic when you encounter difficulties, start the money printing machine, and issue banknotes. Stupid populaces will think that this is a good leader as soon as they receive money......
It's so confusing.
Of course, the indiscriminate distribution of benefits through printing money (or borrowing) will also cause dissatisfaction among some real people of insight. However, the people are short-sighted, and votes are only for those candidates who promise money, and no one cares where the money comes from. This leads to the expulsion of good money from bad money, and it is impossible for a truly noble and capable person to be elected, and can only watch the gradual collapse of finances, the depreciation of fiat currency, the decline of society, and finally until the collapse of the country, and the whole people pay the bill.
This is the same as the "free" series and so on the essence of the "free theory" is a truth, on the surface free is the benefit of consumers, in fact, consumers are leeks, but because the capital needs to compete for leeks, so temporarily free, and even pour money to consumers, and kill competitors first.
So there is a strange phenomenon, you get red envelopes to watch the news, ordering takeout is even cheaper than dine-in, you don't need to pay for a taxi, and cinema movie video websites broadcast it for free........
It seems that consumers have taken a big advantage, but in fact, they first subsidize merchants and consumers in the form of subsidies, so that you can eat at home cheaper than dine-in, and when the public has developed the habit of ordering takeout, they will start to cut leeks after obtaining stable traffic, and on the one hand, they will increase commissions for merchants, and on the other hand, they will reduce the subsidies for fire and even change the relative user charges through various means.
While kidnapping users to threaten merchants, they also bully consumers in different ways. Some merchants who don't worry about customers can indeed ignore the takeaway platform that exists as an intermediary, but the vast majority of merchants have no bargaining power in front of takeaway users who are accustomed to cheap and fast, everyone is doing it, and if you don't do it, you are likely to face the fate of being eliminated, what should I do?
Either raise the price in disguise and continue to do takeaways, or cut corners, or even make products for consumers with shoddy products. In the face of the surging exploitation of the platform, merchants are miserable, and consumers spend money but do not buy products of the same value, which is just fattening the food delivery platform.
In the era of traffic, as long as the competitors are defeated and the customer habits are mastered through the machine, a whole leek garden will be harvested casually, and there is no healthy competition. As long as we can dominate the country, neither the producers (merchants) nor the consumers will have the right to choose. Through big data, I arrange you to sell whatever your merchants sell, and then through the analysis of user habits, accurate recommendations, so that the user's taste is becoming more and more simple......
At this time, you can cut the leeks as you want, don't pick them, anyway, there are one or two monopolies, love to come, don't come to roll.
This is exactly the same logic as the politicians who print money and distribute benefits indiscriminately in order to be elected.
Returning to the Greek Union, where is the contradiction between the European Union and the Athens side does not have the right to print money, and in order to issue money, it must borrow money from the Central Bank of Europa, but after all, the Central Bank of Europa is not the Central Bank of Greece, and borrowing money is not the same as printing money, but must be repaid. Seeing that the debt could not be solved and the country was going bankrupt, politicians, in order to cover up their incompetence, put the blame on the Europa League led by France and Germany at home, saying that they were vampires.
Through public opinion, an anti-European atmosphere was created, and then the Europa Alliance was threatened to withdraw from the Europa League and not pay back the money, so that the Europa Alliance had to negotiate terms with the Athenian side. Then there is the ongoing scene, where politicians lead the populace into a frenzied anti-EU campaign while making deals with the EU to sell Greek assets to pay off debts.
People think they are enjoying the benefits, but they don't know that they are losing their country. This trick can continue to be played until the assets are not sold short, but one day it will explode, and the high benefits enjoyed will be spit out.
For example, when negotiating with the Europa Alliance, he called in the members of the Spanish delegation on the spot, saying that he would hold a referendum on Brexit.
Then the commander of Xila sold the port, airport and other excellent state-owned assets. Therefore, the ports and airports of Xila today basically do not belong to Xila, and all of them have become the property of other countries. It's just that on the surface, it is called stripping off non-performing assets to complete the "privatization", and it is unknown what other dark box transactions will take place.
Of course, knowing the inside situation, there are many people who oppose the commander of Xila, and many people in the military have a lot of complaints about the commander of Xila. Pierre said that Clotte Gaion, vice chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and a close associate of Napoleon VII, went to the military to put out a fire.
Patani was thoughtful and forgot to speak, and Pierre thought that Pathani was a little angry at him for refusing to speak directly, so he hurriedly said: "Don't you question the ability of our Chosen One? I suggest you take your binoculars to the top floor and look at the direction of the Acropolis first, it will be a pity to miss it." β
Patani came back to his senses and asked, "What do you mean?"
Pierre sold off, "You can see it, remember to bring your 100x zoom Huawei Mate60Pro, you can shoot the video, there are not many opportunities like this......"
Patani replied "fine", and Pierre didn't say any more, replying "I still have something to do, I'll contact her later" and hung up. Pattani returned to the binoculars and looked at the Hydra Mansion again, the fire was still burning high and there was no intention of stopping, and she could only pray that Tony Kramer, an undercover agent in the Hydra Mansion, was safe.
She took another look at the fire in the slums, only to find that the people who had been watching the excitement of the Hydra Mansion all turned to look in the direction of Acropolis Hill, and some of them were filming with their phones.
Thinking of Pierre's words, Pattani quickly grabbed the sub-telescope and ran to the rooftop upstairs, and Bright, who didn't know why, hesitated and followed Pattani's footsteps. The two of them went to the rooftop one after the other, and when they raised their eyes, they saw an unimaginable scene.
It's not just the people in the slums who forget about the nearby fire and look up in the direction of Acropolis Hill. The whole city of Athens seemed to fall into a state of stillness, and at the foot of the crowded Acropolis, people held their heads high, holding their mobile phones and aiming them in the same posture in mid-air. All the cars on the road have also stopped, and people are standing on the side of the road, standing on the roofs of their cars, looking up at the city on a hill in the center of the city.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the white jade palace.
Patani involuntarily held her breath as she gazed as she saw a full moon hanging high above the Acropolis, the afterglow shining through the clouds, and the great and ancient buildings shining in the moonlight.
This world-famous hill and the dilapidated palace that sits on it have never been so close to the real abode of God. Even if tourists praise this magnificent complex as a heavenly palace, they know in their hearts that they are nothing more than the sustenance of human imagination.
However, at this very moment, the two "men" on the Parthenon, nay, it should be said to be two "gods", turned the not so majestic Acropolis Hill into the mythical Mount Olympus.
Patani remembered the rumors on the Internet that when the Eiffel Tower in Paris fell, angels and the Grim Reaper had descended into the world. Paris was favored by the Holy Radiance in that moment, but then it was swallowed up by the monstrous waves set off by the Grim Reaper. Patani always felt that Parisians had been poisoned by the poisonous gas of the Sith the Clown, so they would talk nonsense.
But in this moment, she sincerely believed that God really existed.
Her eyes widened, letting the dazzling light from the top of the Acropolis flow through her eyes, she forgot to raise the telescope in her hand, and she forgot to pick up her 100x zoom Huawei Mate60Pro, looking at the two god-like figures in disbelief. Even though she couldn't see it too clearly with the naked eye, she could feel a majestic and unrivaled force wafting through the temple's majesty.
The cold wind is howling, and the night is thick.
The sky was like a sea of stars, reflecting the flawless moonlight.
In the midst of the silver platter-like moon, a blonde hair shimmered with a little silver shimmer, and the owner of the blonde hair only showed half of his face, but it was more dazzling than the moonlight. She was dressed in shiny tight-fitting black armor, and in both hands she held a slender one-man sword, wrapped in a streamer of light, like the Milky Way flying down.
The sound of the mountain wind resounded throughout the city, the air trembled, the birds hissed and fled in all directions, and the clouds were blown by the wind like wrinkled ripples, unlike the goddess of the world who raised her sword to split the entire mountain with the power of destroying the world.
The people of the whole city were breathing and looking up in a daze.
Patani felt that he must not be in reality, but in a super-realistic giant screen movie theater.
"Has the divine punishment of the end comes? Why am I not afraid? maybe..... It's because ..... It's really ...... It's beautiful......" Pierre subconsciously whispered.
"No, that's the Chosen One, the real Chosen One!" replied in a low voice, suppressing the inexplicable excitement in his heart.
"The Chosen One?"
Patani lifted the telescope, with the help of the high-powered telescope, she was finally able to see the dream-like face clearly, she couldn't believe it, and then looked at the man in the red court dress standing on the top of the Parthenon, and said in shock: "Athena...... She's Athena......"
"Athena, has the goddess of wisdom descended to earth? But shouldn't the goddess of wisdom be wearing a golden armor and holding the Aegis of Zeus? How can she be wearing a black latex bodysuit and holding a sun-twink knife? It's not like Athena, the goddess of wisdom in the mythology of Silas, but like the character YoRHaA-type 2 in the sun-dwarf game "Nier: Automata......" Pierre said as he stared at the top of the mountain, in the light and shadow, the thrilling battle, like a dream.
"No, she is Athena, Athena of the House of Onassis, fiancΓ©e of Napoleon VII......."
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Athena's universal sword broke through the sound barrier, and the loud sound of the sonic boom shook the whole city, and the birds that had not had time to escape from the Acropolis were directly stunned by the trembling sound, and fell to the ground in groups one after another.
Napoleon VII did not move, in his field of vision, the thunderous "Sword of Perseus" and Athena's light body, forming an incredible contrast, the narrow black long knife seemed to disappear into the air, only Athena could be observed like countless leaves falling from the sky with the wind, with a seemingly slow, but unpredictable overwhelming momentum about to fall on his head.
Napoleon VII felt an inexplicable horror in his heart, he couldn't see which skill Athena used at all, and the judgment made by his brain was to tell him to quickly use teleportation to get out of the battle circle, but his pride made him have no way to do so, so he could only stare at Athena's arm, and once again raised the "Seven Star Scepter" to face the top, dancing above his head impenetrable, he didn't believe that he couldn't take this blow as a god general......
The murderous aura rushed to his face like mercury, and the violent oscillation sensation transmitted from the seven-star scepter to the whole body, cracking the tiger's mouth of Napoleon VII, and almost letting the "seven-star scepter" come out of his hand. At this moment, I guessed that Athena's sword didn't use any skills, and she couldn't see the sword because she was wielding the long sword at a crazy speed, because the speed was so fast that even the sword shadow couldn't be seen.
There is no skill to speak of, it is purely about creating skill effects at absolute speed.
He remembered that there is a saying in China called "the world's martial arts, only fast is not broken", which refers to all the martial arts in the world, only "fast" can not find a way to crack it.
It looks like there is only one sword, but it is actually countless swords with ultra-fast frequency. Athena wielded her huge black wings, like a flying black butterfly, which swirled around Napoleon VII at great speed, and the sword of Perseus enveloped him like an invisible net.
Seeing that Athena didn't use any skills, Napoleon VII couldn't pull down the sub-skills to use skills, so he could only rely on the carrier's own function to passively defend.
But Athena's speed is too fast, before he became a god general, Napoleon VII's heavenly ranking reached the ninth place, and she was also a gladiatorial powerhouse, and she had experienced hundreds of gladiatorial battles, and Athena's speed was the most outrageous he had ever faced. He already clearly felt that as a defender, he couldn't keep up with Athena's attack speed, and if he didn't use his skills to counterattack, he could only barely resist left and right, so in a moment, the palace clothes on his body were cut countless by the air flow driven by the blade, and he looked embarrassed.
Napoleon VII knew that this was not the way to go, and he tried to change the situation, but for Napoleon VII, who was accustomed to fighting with skills, it meant that the way of thinking was different, and he couldn't adapt so quickly. Several ventures to break through Athena's sword qi cage almost caused a mistake and was injured by Athena.
The carrier is not afraid of injury, as long as the energy is sufficient, the damaged limbs can be regenerated in a very short period of time according to the severity of the injury, as the twelfth god general, his injury recovery speed is forty percent higher than that of ordinary carriers.
But as a god general, fighting with a female chosen one, or a female chosen one of his fiancΓ©es, winning is not elegant enough to lose.......
Napoleon VII suspected that Athena knew him too well, so he deliberately did not use skills to close the gap between him and the god general, and the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart began to pile up, feeling that he was a fool who was played with by Athena, the green tea watch, and applauded.
At this moment, Athena once again accelerated the speed of her attack, like a leaf in the sky that conjured up countless phantoms in mid-air, Athena's speed was so fast that it completely disappeared, leaving only countless sword lights, such as "The Milky Way Falls for Nine Days", the huge flow of Napoleon VII was hard to breathe. At this time, Napoleon VII no longer felt that Athena's sword was like a waterfall, but felt that he was facing the crazy beating of countless piledrivers.......
The air was burning, and Napoleon VII's heart was also scorched in anger, and he felt that Athena was not talking angry, as if she really wanted to kill him, and only by thinking that he was in a carrier state would his heart be better.
Napoleon VII was able to withstand strong shocks with his powerful bodily functions, but the Parthenon could not. The remains of the Parthenon, composed of 48 pillars more than two meters in diameter and nearly 20 meters high, could no longer hold on to the constant tremors, and this human treasure that had stood on the Acropolis Hill for nearly 3,000 years collapsed like building blocks. The sudden accident caused Napoleon VII to reveal a flaw, and the black "Sword of Perseus" broke through the impermeable defenses of the "Seven Star Scepter" at a tricky angle, and went straight to Napoleon VII's neck.
Countless illusory black shadows merged in mid-air, and Athena, whose face was like frost, swung out a sword that was as quick as a glimpse, and the light swept across the top of the Acropolis, and a silver light rolled up countless wind and thunder, and the broken boulders around them were all shattered into powder.
Napoleon VII resisted the strong urge to use teleportation, and although he could not see or hear that the sword would eventually attack from that angle, he relied on his knowledge of Athena to swing the seven-star scepter in the powder and sword light in the sky to the center of the grand light, and resisted the incomparable sword with the diamond at the tip of the scepter with an indomitable attitude.
This is a blow to the carrier that has been hit hard, and the invincible reputation of the god general is a stake.
Napoleon VII felt that his response was truly impeccable for a gentleman.
It only blocked the fatal sword, but it could not block the countless sword qi generated by the high-frequency vibration of the air, and they swept down, cutting Napoleon VII's clothes with countless knife marks, the brown hair was blown away by the wind, and even a few beads of blood on his cheek flew from the thin line-like wound, only to heal in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
The two of them hovered silently over the ruins of the vanished Parthenon, showing no pity for the historical site, just staring at each other.
Napoleon VII asked in a low voice, with a calm face: "Does it have to be like this?"
Athena put down her right hand holding the sword of Perseus, brandished her black steel wings, and naturally stood in the void, she said expressionlessly: "Use your skills, otherwise you are not my opponent, and it is meaningless to kill you......"
Napoleon VII sneered, suppressing his anger, "Do I mean it has to be this way?"
Athena frowned, "Can you say it directly if you have something to say?"
Napoleon VII was silent for a while, he held back for a long time, and he was about to have internal injuries, and finally he couldn't help but ask loudly, "Am I not good enough for you?
Napoleon VII's expression at this moment is indeed completely different from the usual confident, elegant and chic Napoleon VII, which made Athena a little surprised, "Why did you become so verbose? I said I was going to kill you, do you understand?"
"You were angry for a while, I know, Athena, that you were upset that I had deceived you before, and you came to Paris to ask me, but I deceived you, and I confess that I was at fault in the first place. But can you listen to me, I really don't want you to be the Black Death, do you know how much I have to pay to get rid of the Hydra, I'm all for you....." Napoleon VII's face was bitter, he shook his head and said in an almost pleading voice, "I'm really sorry about this, but I'm really wholeheartedly for your good, I swear, Athena, let's have a good talk, don't be vindictive, okay?"
"Needless to say, I'm sorry, I didn't feel hurt, and I hid some truth from you, and you don't owe anyone anything. What you want to do, what you want to say, is your freedom, I have never asked you to be honest with me, and you don't have to demand that from yourself. Athena said lightly.
"Don't say things like that, don't say things like that, I know you're mad at me. Napoleon VII squeezed out a smile, "Look, you have destroyed the Parthenon, I don't know how others will scold us." But that's okay, as I said, I'm your Klops, and I'll rebuild a temple for you...... For God's sake, don't let anyone else see the joke, now you go back with me, let's have a good chat, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer, okay? Athena, my heart is yours, everything I have is yours, believe me......."
"Are you sick? I've made it very clear, I'm not angry with you, it's normal for you to deceive me, and I haven't revealed my identity to you. It's normal for you to want to clean up Hydra, after all, I know exactly what you want. Christophe, there's no need to say so much, we used to be friends, but now we can't be friends. β
Athena's calmness made Napoleon VII feel even more angry, and his handsome face was distorted by the intense heartbreak, "How can you do this to me?
"Why can't I? Why do you always feel like things have to go according to your plan, why do you always think you can get what you want?" said Athena, shaking her head.
"It turns out that I can do it!" Napoleon VII pointed to the top of the hill that had been razed to the ground, "I said that I could get the president of the Rosicrucian, I said that I would be elected to Ponler, I said that I would get the position of god, I ...... Now I have it, I said that I want to build a unified and powerful Europa, and I am now doing it step by step......." Napoleon VII said word by word, "Is there anything more difficult in this world than becoming a god general and unifying Europa? No, is it?" Athena sneered: "Napoleon, I really don't think there is any difficulty in what you do. β
"Are you in love with somebody else? Athena, tell me, are you in love with somebody else? Who is he? I'm going to kill him!"
Athena rolled her eyes helplessly, "Not only am I not interested in men, I am not even interested in humans......"
"You see, you're talking angry, and I know, Athena, you still love me. β
Athena said solemnly: "No, Napoleon, there was no possibility between us from the beginning, you know? I especially hate people like you who are obsessed with power, if it weren't for your circle to let me get some useful information, I would be far away from your group......"
"Don't do this, don't do this, Athena, I know I'm not good enough, can you give me a chance to change it?"
"Forget it!" Athena raised the sword of Perseus again, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you. β
Napoleon VII did not speak immediately, but his face gradually became hideous, "You shameful cousin! You shameful cousin, you are not worthy of my sacrifice for you, it is not worth my sincere efforts for you, it is not worth my whole heart...... Don't think I don't know, you filthy lizardman, you have nothing but a beautiful human shell, but inside you is the heart of a cold, shameless, lowly cold-blooded animal......"
Hearing Napoleon VII say "filthy lizardman", Athena's always calm face became more and more cold, and the long black knife trembled slightly in the moonlight, as if ready to cut Napoleon VII's throat at any moment.
Napoleon VII had never been so out of control, his face was flushed, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, he stared at Athena and shouted at Athena hoarsely, "In that case, why do you want to be friends with me, why do you go on a trip with me, why do you agree to invite you to my house to meet my grandfather, why do you ..... You have to agree to that bet, and you didn't even express a strong objection when I said you were my fiancΓ©e......"
"The first is not that I want to be friends with you, it's that you have been pestering me to be friends, the second is that I have never traveled alone with you, they are all with many people, I am a man of the Black Death, I have a mission, I have to find out what is useful to me, and third, what happened to your grandfather? I really don't know what the profound meaning of this is, if you had made it clear to me at the time, I wouldn't have go, and in the end I agreed to your bet, but I just felt that it was impossible to become a god general with your strength, I think you are not bad, there is no need to let you waste time on me, so I just want you to die, the reason why there is no strong opposition, because you are a shield that makes me a lot less unnecessary harassment...... Originally, everything was fine, but I didn't expect you to get the position of god general in another way, which is really my despise you....."
Napoleon VII's expression changed from sadness to righteous indignation, he raised his scepter and pointed at Athena and said hatefully: "Listen, Athena, you make me sad, you shouldn't do this, I swear, I will let you marry me obediently, I will let you have no choice!"
Athena asked seriously, "Wouldn't it be good to live as your god?"
Napoleon VII raised the scepter to activate the all-power enhancement for ten minutes, and then changed the seven-star scepter to his left hand, and summoned the sword of the blue water bearer Oshenus in his right hand, the sword as deep as the sea emitted a brighter light than a spotlight, and he swooped straight at Athena like a goshawk, and at the same time roared in a low voice: "I don't want to be serious with you, you forced me!"
Athena held the long black knife in the air with a blank face, the blue water bearer brought ripples like a wave in the air, and the golden seven-star scepter lit up the golden shield, and the dazzling light of eternal fireworks illuminated each other's faces.
Napoleon VII's face was furious and hideous like that of a heavenly king guarding hell, while Athena's face, which was half covered in a black mask, was indifferent like a god.
This is the battle between the human god and the Black Death, who has the blood of the lizardmen, the "Supreme Four Pillars", and the unimaginable picture is unreservedly displayed in front of the world. Different from the pure carrier skill game just now, every move in the current battle is wrapped in the power of the skill, and every attack is like a meteor emitting dazzling brilliance in the air, and people can't see their traces, but they can see the fire trees and silver flowers blooming in the night sky like a light show.
The apocalyptic battle of the gods and demons was staged in the skies over Athens.

At the same time, Cheng Mo held the sword of the "Seven Sins Sect" to dissolve the eightieth layer of the alloy door, and behind the door was no longer an ordinary hydra guard, but two fully armored mechanical warriors wearing black dragon scale exoskeletons and holding magnetic storm guns. Blue-purple lightning flickered at the harpoon-like muzzle, and a spiderweb-like electricity took over the entire corridor, spreading rapidly along the air, enveloping Cheng Mo.
The "Seven Sins Sect" expanded into an umbrella, isolating the electric light, and Cheng Mo sprinted upwards with all his might, he couldn't be more familiar with the fully armored exoskeleton warriors and knew where their weaknesses were. When approaching the two fully armored warriors guarding the entrance of the eighty-story building, he urged the "Seven Sins Sect" with all his might, and the hemispherical Seven Sins Sect suddenly grew two spikes, which were inserted precisely through the seam between the helmet and the armor.
The sizzling of electricity faded after a moment, and two heavy corpses slammed into the corner. Cheng Mo didn't continue to go up, he looked down, this exoskeleton model obviously does not belong to any model he is familiar with, it doesn't look like a strong sense of technology, but a bit like the dragon scale armor of ancient warriors, and the shape of the helmet is also very peculiar, unlike Ou Yu or Huaxia's helmets that use a large area of plexiglass, only a little is used in the eyes, and the rest of the place is all thin metal like plastic. On the whole, there is no sense of history at all in terms of aesthetics and manufacturing process, and it is a bit like the not-so-high-level equipment in a fantasy game.
Cheng Mo bent down and touched it, these exoskeletons don't feel like alloys, more like ceramic craftsmanship, it feels very light, he was thinking about whether to take off this armor and put it on himself, Mohammed Al-Ovis had already followed, he picked up the magnet gun that looked like an upgraded harpoon gun from the ground and handed it to Mohammed Alvis, "The gun is useless, use this." β
Mohammed Al-Vis did not throw away the PP2000 in his hand, but carried it behind his back before taking the magnetic storm gun and asking, "How to use it?"
"It's better than a gun, just shoot at someone, and you can't dodge. Cheng Mo said as he began to disassemble the exoskeleton on the corpse, "You can disassemble the other one and put it on, you can save your life......"
At this time, the elite man Rykska also stepped through the melted alloy door and walked to the entrance of the eightieth floor, he looked at the two people who were dismantling the exoskeleton, and said, "What is this? exoskeleton.......?
Cheng Mo glanced back at the elite man Ryktzka, and whispered, "Probably the equipment of the Black Death?"
"No wonder I transport drugs and occasionally arms, exoskeletons are in high demand, and a complete set of Ouyu's 'Hulk series' can sell for millions of dollars....."
"The Hulk's system is not as good as the ONYX, the stability is a little worse, and there is always a bit of lag in use. Cheng Mo said.
"Are you a soldier, so familiar with exoskeletons?" asked Ryketzka, a little curious.
Cheng Mo shook his head, and without saying a word, he put this set of dragon scale-shaped warrior armor-like exoskeletons on his body, the fat man Eugene was too big to squeeze into the corner of the stairs, so he could only stand on the stairs and look at it with his eyes, "Head, can you help me get a set to wear, I also want to try it to see what it feels like!"
"Don't think about it, exoskeletons are generally general-purpose, and I don't think there's a ..... for your size," Rektzka said.
"Numb Fake, Lao Tzu swears, Lao Tzu will definitely lose weight, when I go out, I will diet, exercise, lose weight like a lightning, and become a handsome guy..... When I lose weight, I'm definitely more handsome than the boss......" Fat Eugene swore by it.
Lektzka glanced at Cheng Mo, who was covered with a T-shirt and only showed two eyes, and said with a smile: "Have you seen the appearance of the boss?"
Fat Eugene shook his head like a rattle, "I didn't see it, but I guess the boss must be so handsome that it explodes." β
Cheng Mo put on the exoskeleton on his body, only the helmet was not put on, and he said lightly: "Don't follow me yet." He walked up to it, took off his blood-stained T-shirt, and put his helmet on.
After adjusting the tightness slightly, Cheng Mo said, "Let's continue, there are still ten floors, and I guess it will be more dangerous on the ninetieth floor." β
"Boss, I'm cowardly, don't scare me, can you help me with this thing?" Sinclair, who was standing at the back, said tremblingly.
"Don't worry, there should be more on it. Cheng Mo said, he took the lead and continued to walk upstairs, and once again ushered in the blockade on the eighty-fifth floor, a team of mechanical warriors wearing exoskeletons blocked the corridor, such an environment is more suitable for Cheng Mo to play, even if the exoskeleton warriors are much stronger than ordinary warriors, but their opponent is Cheng Mo, who has the artifact "Seven Sins Sect", and it is still a dimensionality reduction strike.
The resistance from the mechanical warriors was still very weak, and Cheng Mo thought to himself that after all, Hydra was still not like the regular troops of the Lighthouse Country, and if they were equipped with weapons like "Metal Storm" against the Chosen One, then there was nothing he could do. It's just that the words of a team of fighters in exoskeletons are still not enough to see. After sweeping this team of mechanical warriors, except for Eugene the Fat Man, everyone else changed their shotguns and replaced them with exoskeletons.
The group continued to move upward, and Cheng Mo pierced all resistance like an invincible blade to the ninetieth floor. This time, a gleaming silver gate was painted with a black Hydra logo and the red word "Dangerous".
Cheng Mo remembered this sign, he had seen it on the hospital-like floor on the ninety-first floor. Ayala entered the password, verified her fingerprint and iris before opening the door. Cheng Mo listened for a while, but didn't hear any sound behind the door before stepping forward.
At this time, the red skeleton suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, completely enveloping Cheng Mo's body, Cheng Mo was startled, and was just about to wave the "Seven Sins Sect" to destroy the silver gate in front of him, when he heard a mechanical female voice in his ears, "Welcome to the Black Death No. 9 Hospital, Doctor Jing, I am a crow, I will serve you wholeheartedly, if you have any needs, please call my name, or send a request through the mobile APP to ......"
Cheng Mo's scalp was numb for a while, he didn't expect that the "Black Death" APP could penetrate his carrier to lock his true identity, and then he thought that the demon god Beret not only searched his Black Death mobile phone, but also determined that he was "Cheng Mo", so there was nothing to make a fuss about.
It's just that the demon god Beret did not remove him as a doctor, which made Cheng Mo a little puzzled. He was wondering if it was a trap when he saw the silver gate open, and at the corner of the ninety floors stood two creepy "people", to be precise, two monsters, they were huge, covered with tight tendon flesh, full of explosive power at a glance, their skin was densely covered with dark green moss-like scales, there was a viscous liquid attached to it under the illumination of the fluorescent lamp, the nose was flat, the scarlet mouth was cracked all the way to the jaw, and the hand had only four fingers, each finger was like a bird's beak, sharp and terrifying.
They didn't open their eyes and stood on either side of the gate as if they were hibernating.
"Lizardmen?" Cheng Mo remembered the noun that Ayala had mentioned, he felt a strong danger, he was a little hesitant whether he should enter this door, there was only one floor away from his goal, and he gave up like this?
"It stands to reason that there is really no need for the Demon God of Beret to set such a nonsensical trap, the door has been opened for you by itself, what are you hesitating about?" Cheng Mo thought to himself, he vaguely felt that fate was an invisible thread, tightly intertwining him with the organization of the "Black Death".
The others who were standing in the corner below did not hear the movement for a long time, and the probe looked over, first Mohammed Ovis let out an exclamation and walked out, then the elite man Rektzka, the two of them stood in the corner and looked up at the green monster in the high place, but they did not dare to move.
The fat man Eugene couldn't hold it back, and also walked out, "What kind of monster is this?" The fat man Eugene, who walked behind Cheng Mo, exclaimed.
No one answered Fat Eugene, until Sinclair grabbed the handrail and looked at his brain, and then said in horror, "Hulk?"
Cheng Mo walked to the door, distanced himself from Mohammed Al-Ovis, and then asked in a very low voice, "Crow, am I the only one who can enter, can I bring others in?"
"You can only move around below the 95th floor by yourself, and you are not allowed to bring people in. β
Cheng Mo replied "Okay", turned back to the few people who were still standing around the corner and said, "You guys are waiting for me here, I rescued my companions, and we will leave." β
"Can't we go in?" asked Fat Eugene eagerly.
Cheng Mo shook his head, "It's too dangerous." β
With that, he stepped straight into the door, and before he could turn his head, the silver gate closed silently. He stared at the two lizardmen standing in the doorway with their eyes closed, took a deep breath, and passed the alloy door guarded by the lizardmen, continuing upstairs.
Without Eugene's noise, the world was quiet and terrifying, Cheng Mo could clearly hear his breathing, and when he reached the ninety-first floor, there were still two formidable lizardmen standing at the door. Cheng Mo's heart was beating like thunder, and even he had an inexplicable panic about the unknown creatures, he held the Seven Sins Sect tightly, cautiously observed the two lizardmen, and walked straight towards the closed alloy door.
With a "bang", the alloy door opened automatically like a sensor door, and the two lizardmen did not move at all, looking completely lifeless, but Cheng Mo could feel a danger of death. Deep down, he was really not sure in his heart, if he wasn't the doctor of the Black Death, and if he wasn't in the condition of the carrier, he would be able to deal with these lizardmen, they looked much more agile than ordinary people, like evil creatures sealed by some powerful force, even if there was a "Seven Sins Sect", maybe one of them would die if he was not careful......
Thankfully, the Devil's Messenger, as a doctor, actually had permission to enter. Cheng Mo rolled his throat as he rubbed shoulders with the two lizardmen, and after entering the slightly more familiar environment on the ninety-first floor, the sense of lethality that could come at any time dissipated a little.
It seems that the ninety-first floor of the hospital is empty in the middle of the night, only the dim lights are on, and the air is wafting with a faint smell of formalin, which looks like a professional and scary haunted house, as if there are zombies or ghosts suddenly emerging from inadvertent places at any time, and the death-like silence produces a sense of horror.
Cheng Mo walked towards the ward where Jing Quan was located according to his memory, and the wards with observation windows were filled with white lights. Cheng Mo remembered that the last time he came over with Ayala, all the observation windows were dark green, so that his vision could not pass through the windows, but today these windows were all transparent, and when he looked inside, it seemed that the beds in the ICU ward were not all people.
In several of the wards, the beds were tied up by the lizardmen guarding the security door, most of them looked alike, and it was difficult to distinguish them in appearance. There were also what appeared to be lizard-human hybrids, which were mutants as Ayala said, some of them were more lizardmen-like, others were more human-like, and he saw a man covered in scales and gill-like muscles around his neck.
Cheng Mo remembered the Oscar-winning movie "The Shape of Water", once he thought it was just an extremely boring romance movie, and then he felt that maybe the screenwriter was really in love with a lizard to write such a script. Thinking of some of the pictures in "The Shape of Water", Cheng Mo's scalp tingled for a while, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Soon he came to the blue alloy door painted with the red "dangerous" printed with the "black hydra" logo, he remembered that there were two guards here when he came during the day, Ayala showed the pass, verified the iris and fingerprints before the door opened, but at night, he just walked to the door, a burst of red light flashed, and the heavy alloy door popped open.
Seeing that the rescue plan was about to be successfully completed, Cheng Mo's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated. It's just that things are going too smoothly and Cheng Mo has a vague uneasiness in his heart, which is much easier than the bloody battle he imagined. He quickened his pace again and trotted towards Jing Quan's ward, so his hurried and slight footsteps resounded throughout the corridor, and this footstep stirred up countless echoes, making Cheng Mo feel that there were countless people running at the same time.
Cheng Mo recalled "Silent Hill", he didn't feel scared at all when he played this game, but when he was in such an environment, he still felt that his heart was hairy, and the "Seven Sins Sect" was revealed again, and when the clear light illuminated the corridor, Cheng Mo felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
After crossing the four laboratories, he finally came to Jingquan's ward, Cheng Mo quickly rushed to the observation window, looked inside, but his heart sank to the bottom, and the person on the hospital bed who was bound by the restraint belt was no longer Jingquan, but an old man covered in scales.......
