13 Mink Street

After Michios said this, he was looking at Karen seriously. He hoped to get some feedback from Karen, but it was obvious that he was disappointed.

Because Karen just nodded calmly, so simply... as if he was responding purely: Oh, I got it.

This made Michios somewhat incomprehensible, but he did not dare to look directly into Karen's heart. Even if he had such ability, he was afraid that he could get in but not get out.

As an artifact in the hands of the Eternal God, he clearly knows how terrifying the god... no, the Era Overlord is.

Therefore, he decided to take the most direct and sincere approach and asked:

"Aren't you surprised?"

"I can predict that."

"Don't you feel disappointed?"

"I can understand."

"Don't you feel angry?"

"I can agree."

Michios spread his hands: "But I can't understand, or did he deceive me? There are not many people in this world who can deceive me, but he belongs to one. After all, he is the inheritor of Tiranus. "

"He's Norton."

Michios smiled: "At this point, you are very similar to him. I can feel that you do not recognize the identity behind you, which is completely contrary to the choices of normal people.

For normal people, the name of their ancestors always comes first, followed by a series of honorific titles of status, and finally, themselves. "

"That's childish."

"Childish? This is the honorific title of God."

"But it's not me after all. As you said before, you can't understand Norton, but I can; you can't understand this kind of self-identification, but I can still understand.

He is the high priest of the Cult of Kosmos, and I am the Sequence 2 of the Whip of Order of the Cult of Kosmos.

My perspective is not as lofty and comprehensive as his, but the way we view the Religion and the world is the same, but you are not a believer in order, and the Eternal Religion has long since died.

You cannot understand this self-identity between me and him, because you have always existed as the eternal artifact spirit. You are very wise, but your wisdom is narrow, because you cannot even fully understand yourself. clear.

Our positions, status, and starting points are all completely different. Therefore, from your own perspective, you will definitely not be able to understand it, and you will also take it for granted that my approval is even more incomprehensible.

However, if the identities were exchanged, I think I would make the same choice as Norton.

I have no way of knowing where the God of Order is, how he came, and what his current status is.

I am even less clear about whether the newly arrived God of Order is still the same one from the previous era, whether they are the same existence, or whether the new God of Order has become corrupted.

There are too many uncertainties interfering, but I don’t want to leave the future to fate, so I would rather do my best to make things certain while I am still alive. "

At this point, Karen sighed:

"We will face this disaster head-on, but even the most optimistic people can find it difficult to have hope for success. You cannot understand this feeling, because although you are imprisoned here, you have been waiting The return of the Eternal God.”

"Then will you tell Norton your true identity?" Michios smiled, "Based on my understanding of Norton, after knowing that you are the incarnation of great order, he will most likely change his original identity. Decide."

"Not for the time being, because he and I are very similar in some ways. We both value ourselves more, are more willing to believe in our own choices, and hope to take the lead in taking responsibility and consequences.

We don’t even want to believe in God, let alone believe in other people.

Just below, I chose the defensive artifact of the Star God.

Because I don’t like gambling, I hate the feeling of having my feet off the ground and hoping the wind will take me away;

I think the same goes for my high priest.

However, Michios, your goal has been achieved. "

"What are you talking about?"

"Isn't this why you invited me here? You don't want my identity to be exposed, you don't want me to be executed, and you don't want the God of Order to regain power and delay your Lord's return.

You are suffering.

When there is no hope, suffering is numb, but when hope appears in front of you, suffering becomes alive. "

Michios was silent, which was also a kind of acquiescence.

Karen turned around and waved his hand: "It's getting late. It's time for me to leave. If I don't leave, that thing will see me."

Michios bowed to Karen and said goodbye, but as he bent down, he said:

"I am naive, I actually tried to use my wisdom to influence the great you."

"It's your bad luck. Before I came here, I just heard the high priest's speech at the First Knights. I know clearly that he is not a timid and conservative person.

Tell me, do I believe what you say about him, or do I believe what I see and hear with my own eyes and ears? "

In fact, there is also the contribution of the whip holder.

Karen has always been curious about why the whip bearer is always keen to communicate the attitude of the high priest to himself.

With the whip holder as the "intermediary", the high priest Norton in Karen's eyes is no longer a simple high priest, but has become more concrete and realistic.

As for whether the high priest told Michios that he wanted to kill himself, and whether he would care about the flood after his death.

This has no impact on Karen at all.

Because in the past, Karen also fell into a long period of confusion and self-blame. She felt guilty for her own existence, and even considered committing suicide so that the God of Order could support this clean world for a while longer.

Michios said: "Norton actually said something, after I die, there will be no need to worry about the flood..."

"Oh? What are you talking about?"

"He said: 'He believed in the wisdom of future generations.'"

…

When a quarter of an hour was up, Karen came out. Vic closed the door, looked into the entrance, and his eyes returned immediately, patrolling the surroundings vigilantly.

It does its job conscientiously, but unfortunately, the person who ordered it neglected his duty.

Vic took out the key and followed Karen outside.

Onest was waiting behind the second gate. After Karen came out, he immediately told Raelle to pick up the camera. He wanted to take a photo with Karen.

Karen smiled and cooperated, but when the shutter sound sounded, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.

It wasn't that Karen was too lazy to put on a show at this time, but it suddenly occurred to him that there was a volunteer who asked for a group photo of himself when he went down to the cave, and also said that he wanted to take it back to show to his daughter.

The father died in that action.

Now, looking at the scene of Onest happily holding the camera and checking it, Karen couldn't help but feel irritated.

Vic observed Karen's emotional changes and silently prepared to speed up the investigation of the case so that the father and son could reunite in the prison castle of the Department of Discipline as soon as possible.

When he walked out of the villa gate and came to the yard, the Corgi was lying in front of the doghouse, as if he was taking a nap.

Onest took someone to see off Karen's carriage. When he came back, he passed by the kennel. Corgi raised his head and looked at him coldly.

Onest threw the camera and photos to Raelle and motioned for her to leave. Then he squatted in front of the kennel and looked at Corgi.

after awhile,

Onest knelt down with his face pressed against the lawn. When he raised his head again, his face was covered with grass clippings in addition to snot and tears.

"Do you think there is still hope for me?"

Corgi raised his paw, touched his eyes, and said:

"I think my eyes are very clear, because I am clearly looking at you like a dead person."

Onest sat down and said, "But, I have struggled for so long."

"Are you fighting for order?"

"I thought you understood me."

"Yes, I have watched you grow up. When you were a child, your father brought you here when he was working. You couldn't go inside, so you stayed with me outside for the whole day.

When you were a child, you were very cute.

I've watched you grow up, from your youthful head of lush hair to your current bald patch.

I was very happy that the child I had was developing very well here.

But you disappoint me so much. "

"The rules are indeed there, but I'm not the only one who doesn't follow them."

"The real rules are in the Regulations of Order. Can you put your palm on the Regulations of Order and swear that you have never violated them?"

"Snapped!"

Onest hit the ground with both hands.

Corgi: "Turn yourself in, kid."

"I can not be reconciled."

"Then do whatever you want. Take your family, your friends, your colleagues, and everyone who has anything to do with you, and fall into the abyss together."

"I still have a chance."

"You have no chance."

Onest took a deep breath, then nodded heavily:

"You're right, I have no chance."

…

After picking up Bourne, the carriage started moving.

"Someone is planning to attack you."

Bourne said as he continued to pour himself wine.

Karen was not surprised, but asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to visit a friend?"

"Since we are visiting friends, we naturally chatted for a while, and then we talked about this matter. Although he has landed, he has not left behind in his old profession."

"Thank you for your hard work, Bourne."

Bourne took a sip of his wine and said, "I can't let you die in front of me. Otherwise, when it's my turn, who will I show you?"

Immediately, Bourne looked at Vic and said, "Have you found it?"

Vic nodded and said: "It's already under surveillance. It's just a small counterattack recently. They were forced to take revenge in such a stupid way."

The recent purge carried out by the Whip of Order is deep and widespread, offending many people, which will naturally lead to resentment and revenge.

It's just that this kind of revenge is undoubtedly stupid. There is no other way at all. He vents his anger regardless of the consequences and wants to die together in a hysterical way.

As long as they can effectively attack Karen at the official level, they will not do this. But the problem is that Karen's current status, on the surface, cannot be shaken at all.

Bourne asked: "What about the restricted space? Have you also investigated it?"

Vic replied: "Are you talking about Onest? He is about to go to jail. Those small groups who want to use primitive means to retaliate, we will also use primitive means to clean them up."

"Huh." Bourne shook his head, "This is not normal. It is easy to understand that a few individuals go crazy, but suddenly so many small groups go crazy, don't you find it strange? Although they look innocent and even very Ridiculous, but maybe it’s just something people want you to see.”

Vic calmed down the look of indifference on his face and said seriously to Bourne: "Please teach me."

"Real hunters like to put some fresh bait in their traps when they hunt."

At this time, a black crow flew by the car window. Vic opened the car window and caught the crow. After reading it, he reported to Karen:

"Onest is going to turn himself in, and he has something important to confess."

"You go down and deal with it."

"Yes, Minister."

Vic got out of the carriage.

Bourne took another sip of wine and said: "These young people around you are all excellent like you, but they have one shortcoming, that is, they are young, because you cannot deny that sometimes doing things requires some effort. The sixth sense.”

Karen picked up the water glass and poured water. Little Kangna opened the thermos bucket very sensibly and put ice cubes into Karen's glass.

“So, I never say no to having seniors on my team.”

Bourne took out a document from his arms and placed it in front of Karen: "This is a matter that I have recently started to investigate. Now, I have some clues."

Karen flipped through the document, which recorded the observation and monitoring carried out by a special organization.

Moreover, this organization is also involved with fundamentalist elements within the Cult of Kosmos. To be precise, it is cooperation.

After reading the document, Bourne raised an index finger in front of his lips to signal silence.

Karen smiled and said, "It's hard for you."

I must have brought the document with me a long time ago, but I took it out at this time, and after Vic left.

Bourne is intentional and his motivations are very clear. He can act as a job applicant who comes for an interview and is showing his value to the person in charge.

"This organization, it's a taboo," Byrne said.

"Why are they targeting me?"

"There's no reason why they shouldn't be targeting you."

"Oh, okay."

"What are you going to do? According to the logic of their behavior, it seems that besides planning, they also want to contact you. They are not planning this for the purpose of killing you, because the cost of killing you now is too high. If it’s too big, the success rate is not high.”

“I am quite disgusted with this organization and have no intention of contacting it.

You will be responsible for this matter. You will be responsible for mobilizing the relevant forces in the entire York City region. Anyone involved, whether inside or outside the church, will be dealt with seriously. "

"Oh, I don't have much left in my life. This is a very tiring job. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the end of the month if I finish it."

Karen took a sip of ice water and said:

"After this is taken care of, you can go die."

…

The Cult of Kosmos, Office Temple.

The high priest returned from the First Knights' station and quickly devoted himself to daily government work.

At the same time, on the lower floor of the office temple, Norton's figure appeared on the beach like a nether sea.

He looked serious and said nothing while facing the sea.

A huge turtle slowly surfaced. It looked at Norton and asked:

"High Priest, this is the first time I have felt such an emotion in you. You are hesitant."

Norton did not answer. The strange behavior during his speech was still replaying in his mind.

The last change in the First Knights of Order was considered by the outside world to be a sign of the return of the God of Order, and the God of Order was also recognized as the "First Returned God."

This is very consistent with the image of the God of Order as the overlord at the end of the last era. If the gods are to return, there is no reason why the God of Order will be at the back.

But this time, the same strange movement of the First Knights gave Norton a very unusual feeling.

Standing on the beach, he began to look around.

There is this record in "Symmetra": God is watching you all the time.

Now, Norton felt like he was being watched.

Basai did not dare to speak any more and accompanied the high priest silently.

Finally, the high priest spoke:

"Norton, you can't stop me. No matter what you try, you can't stop my Lord from returning."

Basai's huge body trembled. It recognized who was saying these words and immediately began to dive to avoid it.

"Tiranus, I have a question for you."

"Norton, you are my successor, and it is one of my responsibilities to answer your questions."

"Should I trust my Lord?"

"Hehehe...hahahaha..."

The laughter came from Norton's mouth very freely, as if he had been waiting for this moment.

However, at this moment, Norton raised his hand, smashed a bell between his eyebrows.

"boom!"

A hole was made between Norton's eyebrows.

He said: "Base, come up!"

Basset, which had just dived, had no choice but to resurface. No matter whether the person in front of it was Norton or Tiranus, it did not dare to refuse the other party's order.

"Please give me your orders."

"Help me, see the truth."

Norton's figure floated up and came to Basel's turtle shell.

According to the records of "Symmetra", this turtle shell once held the God of Order, but that was the first generation of Basel, and this one at this time is the fifth generation.

The ancient patterns on the turtle shell began to appear, gathering at Norton's feet.

Norton stretched out his hand from the hollow between his eyebrows, grabbed strands of golden silk thread, and fused it with the turtle shell underneath him.

This is...the breath of divinity.

Basai was shocked: Great Priest, are you trying to condense the fragments of your godhead?

Tiranus: "Why, you have to suppress your own realm."

Norton: "I don't want to be invited by the Gate of Order to enter the temple; I think the people in the temple really want to see this scene. They are extremely eager for me to leave the position of the high priest."

Tiranus: "Norton, what are you going to do? Since you asked me, I can give you the answer."

"Are you Tiranus?"

"Of course I am."

"Maybe you were."

"Now, too."

"People can change, and gods can also change. Tiranus, who founded the Cult of Kosmos and wrote "Symmetra", no longer refers to just a god, but a symbol of spiritual belief. I think Know, my lord, whether there has been any change.”

"I can answer you."

"No, I want to see it myself."

"What do you want to see?"

"Want to see... you."

Golden and blue flames appeared on Basset's body. From the gap between Norton's eyebrows, threads continued to flow out, echoing the turtle shell beneath him.

The sea surface began to evaporate, and the surrounding sea water began to stand up, forming a vast and towering water curtain.

The first thing that appeared from the water curtain was a giant statue. Because the water rippled, the giant statue looked dynamic.

On the cross, Tiranus was nailed there, and his blood dripped continuously.

Immediately, there was the second colossus:

Ogurev was suspended in a solitude, his eyes were pierced by two terrifying thunderbolts, and the endless thunderfire was burning his body.

Immediately afterwards, there is the third colossus:

Siguman was in the frost, his divine body and soul kept peeling off due to the freezing, but they were restored the next moment.

The fourth colossus:

Milogar is surrounded by the remnant souls of countless ferocious beasts. They are engaged in endless competition and fighting in his body and soul. The dead remnant souls will be reborn with the help of Milogar's body.

The fifth colossus:

Luftina held her head and kept sinking in a piece of lava. The scary thing about this lava was not the temperature, it was a more extreme manifestation of the spiritual storm. Her hair was messy. The originally holy female knight, this Sometimes like a madman.

The sixth one, the seventh one...

One giant statue emerged, and Norton saw the four retinues, the 12 Knights of Order, and other branch gods recorded in "Symmetra".

In the murals, they are all majestic and sacred beings, the objects of worship and prayer by Order believers, and their stories have been praised and sung from generation to generation.

But now, without exception, they are all suffering unimaginable torture.

If the colossus in the water curtain is printed out, it is likely to overturn the mythological narrative system built by the entire Cult of Order over the past two eras and shatter the belief views of most Order believers.

Norton stared at this scene blankly, and he smiled, very happily.

Then he said:

"It seems that you have turned your back on my Lord."

next moment,

Tiranus occupied Norton's body, and the smile on Norton's face turned into the most twisted and ferocious. He clenched his hands and let out an extremely angry roar:

"No!

It is my Lord,

Betrayed us! "
