How Am I Still Alive?

Chapter 154 The Great Summoning

From the moment the protected person died, the escort mission was considered a complete failure.

Those who were disgraced were also the Bureau of Different Administration and the Special Service Team.

But in fact, the "sweeping face" didn't happen once or twice. Except for the few people who had an old relationship with Xiao Huang, the other veterans quickly regained their composure. Lu Pingan suspected that they were mentally prepared to fail from the very beginning.

It's just that on the way back, the atmosphere was a little depressing. Except for a certain newcomer gardener sitting in the passenger seat with an indifferent face.

But since no one else spoke, he just read his book silently, turning his head from time to time to see if the tree trunk tied behind the car was missing.

".Did it fail over there too?"

The news was quickly sent back to the headquarters, but what I got was still only bad news, and it was much worse.

While escorting here, the convoy over there actually encountered a surprise attack, and the location of the battle was the airship station (airport).

Judging from the results, the battle over there was actually a big one. After all, the reinforcements from the Church of Life (Daughter of the Forest) were also there.

The location of the attack was the tarmac, which was open and convenient for confrontation. The Keeper had prepared the battlefield from the very beginning. Judging from the results, they lost again this time, but the loss was quite subtle.

The bishop repelled the opponent's attackers and successfully sent the "escorted" to the airship.

Then, the airship swallowed the retiree in one gulp.

Yes, it was swallowed. A medium-sized airship that was "enlightened" suddenly woke up, the deck was directly discounted, and it swallowed the retiree, as well as the 141 ordinary passengers and two escorts inside.

Fortunately, the escort did not leave. They reacted in time and killed the "big monster".

In the end, there were about forty-three survivors who were dismantled from the "airship", and less than ten were lucky enough to be uninjured.

The retiree was the primary target and died instantly.

This is the result of this era, because there are too many professionals and supernatural beings, and it is much easier to destroy than to protect, and it is also the reason why many "candidates" are willing to gamble their life and death to obtain abilities.

This is like a country where guns are rampant but there are no surveillance cameras. As long as there is a derailed person who has a criminal motive and then suddenly goes to the streets to shoot wildly one day, it is impossible to prevent it.

What can be done is probably to pursue accountability afterwards and warn potential perpetrators with harsh consequences.

Why no monitors? In fact, this damn mechanical spirit enlightenment is also a main reason.

Mechanics, in this day and age, are not to be trusted.

Information itself is a carrier, a dangerous carrier capable of carrying pollution.

Not to mention the development of network and telecommunication technology, there are requests to block the Internet every year within the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, and the evidence they produce is the number of deaths and victims.

From the perspective of the ancient city police and the anomaly management bureau, it is already quite difficult for them to deal with a group of international terrorists with the standing force of a small and medium-sized city. Even if reinforcements are called in, their defense force is still obviously insufficient.

Under normal circumstances, those "super terrorists" should also fight wits and bravery with those real ruthless people in hotspots, international metropolises, and key resource worlds, instead of coming to harm the standing guards of a second-tier city, or the defenders are killed. Empty shell tuned away.

"We know that one of the opponents is a ruthless person who takes the route of 'mechanical animal taming', and he is at least level six or higher."

"Think about it better, this time the opponent has at least the sixth level and above, and the higher-ups will definitely send someone here."

Is this good news? I'm afraid the people who say it don't believe it themselves.

In a sense, the ever-increasing proliferation of super-powered crimes is also the root cause of the recent frantic advancement of reforms.

Compared with protection, destruction is too easy, especially when the destruction itself can obtain huge benefits.

Previously, this country completely prohibited the dissemination of "pollution knowledge" in order to avoid the recurrence of such things.

But some things cannot be banned, especially in the new era when several other countries have not banned them for a long time. When the number of cultists and supernatural criminals in the country overflows to a certain level, it may only be a matter of time before the full opening of taboo knowledge up.

Is this a good thing? Or is it the first step of the whole world sliding into the abyss? No one can tell.

Most of the official secret keepers just know that if they continue to "watch the night" like the past hundreds of years, no one can bear it anymore.

In a sense, this is like the crisis of the proliferation of guns in a certain world. When little hairy kids can buy two at any time when they go out, the safety of innocent people is probably really just a matter of luck.

The worst thing is that there is actually a certain chance that guns will be completely banned, although the chances are extremely low.

But the endless mysteries, churches, foreign lands, and evil gods in this world make the prohibition of "pollution" spread more and more an empty slogan.

"Gun shops" are ubiquitous, and it's not difficult to obtain them, so super crimes are naturally banned repeatedly.

The cost of maintaining the continuation of society is too high, so high that the government's almost unlimited potential and combat power reserves can't support it, so it was forced to start a new round of reforms and ushered in an all-round expansion.

If the defense strength of the ancient city had been increased tenfold this time, then it wouldn't be so passive.

"No, it's the same. Quantitative changes can achieve qualitative changes, but a group of ordinary defenders of the highest level four can deal with level six or seven? High-level professionals are not so cheap." The big cat, the culprit, gave the answer ruthlessly.

The expected answer also made Lu Pingan completely give up his plan to rely on the official.

Just like the mainstream of "holding groups" gradually formed in this era, since a large stable order cannot be guaranteed, then it is a natural logical deduction for small groups with armed forces to protect themselves.

A certain countryman on the roof, a community with guns, a militia, a local company, a large landlord, are probably such things.

And this, in a certain sense, has become an unstable factor in the new era. In some cases, the conflict between "family rules" and "national laws" is inevitable.

But in the tide of the times, who can go against the tide?

Facing a world full of dangers, who can refuse the temptation of power and control their own destiny and the safety of their families?

When power starts to be used privately, when power starts to be negotiated, how many people are still willing to shake their fists for "order". Especially the retired secret keeper, who can't even keep his own safety!

The silent atmosphere in the team, apart from mourning for his colleagues, was more likely to be thinking about his own future.

"I always feel that this is a slow death, Big Cat, is there any way to save it?" Lu Pingan had already seen through everything, but after thinking about it, he got an answer that was helpless.

This is not a problem of lack of power, nor will it be reversed because of the appearance of a certain hero, but the whole world has been dragged into the abyss and entered a logical and substantive cycle of deterioration.

In Lu Ping'an's eyes, the situation will only get worse and worse, and all the reforms seem to be drinking poison to quench thirst.

"How many worlds do you think I've seen, and it's already hopeless. Ever since that great summoning fifty years ago, it has been completely hopeless." What the big cat casually threw out was a piece of history that was "sealed".

"Great call? What is that? It sounds like playing a game." Lu Pingan felt subtle, counting the time, there seemed to be something wrong.

"Well, for some existences, it's probably just a game. Twelve gods... very remarkable existences, big bosses that I can't face even if I succeed in ascension, and some top powerhouses in your world. A super-large ceremony. The reason is unclear, but the result is that this world has been dragged away from its original trajectory, and it is 'closer' to many worlds. In three years, the pollution density has increased by at least ten times, and the threshold for obtaining power has also increased significantly. Lower." The big cat didn't hide it, that incident was an eternal pain in the hearts of too many people, and it also affected countless people's life choices.

In fact, if it wasn't for that matter, I'm afraid I wouldn't have chosen to become a god without hesitation, and I would have chosen to give up this world.

Lu Pingan nodded silently. He also vaguely heard the "Twelve Pillars" and the so-called "Seven Evil Ones" in the big event fifty years ago.

"At this point, is there really no hope? It's okay to live on." Lu Pingan was vaguely sure that probably only this cat could give a decent answer.

"Yes, there is a big guy like twelve pillars who can protect the world with one hand. But that is basically impossible. The strongest human beings are too far away from them, too far away, maybe they shouldn't use far away To describe it, it is the size gap between mortals and galaxies." The big cat has an unconcealable loss. If the "big calling" does not happen, perhaps, she is still a friendly international friend.

Lu Pingan was thoughtful, and he had already guessed the second answer.

"The second method is what you did? Ascension to the gods by yourself, and then leave on the Ark of Doomsday? Going to harm the next world?"

Lu Ping'an has confirmed that if his courtyard continues to expand, it can really become a complete small world. So, how many people can live in it? Can one city?

"Heh, if we don't come, won't this world be over? Humans, don't think too highly of yourself, you will be with me sooner or later. We are about the same. I look forward to your choice"
