I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 316 The Power of Choice

"The right to choose?" Lin Zhong didn't fully understand it for a while.

"For example, there are two buttons in front of you. If you press one, civilization will be rebuilt, and if you press the other, the world will be destroyed. How would you choose?" Erin asked.

"Rebuilding civilization, I am an ordinary person." Lin Zhong gave a satisfactory answer without thinking.

His life so far has not been too bad, but it is not so comfortable that he finds it boring. Of course, he does not want to destroy the world for no reason. On the contrary, he really wants to experience the golden age before the disaster.

He thought for a while: "So your father will press the button to destroy the world?"

"He will push it, but not that simply. He will stroke those two buttons back and forth, enjoying the power of choice. On a whim, he might push the button to restore civilization, and then on a whim, he might push it again. The button that will destroy the world,” Erin said.

"Isn't this crazy?" Lin Zhong was stunned.

"Yes, the lunatic in your mouth is about to get these two buttons. This is what he is pursuing - the choice to hold the fate of the world on one finger. This feeling is the best feeling. What fascinates him. The order in which he presses these two buttons is not necessarily certain, but he will definitely try to press them both once." Erin explained, "I am [-]% sure that if we leave him alone, all of us will be finished."

"Sounds a bit scary." Lin Zhong commented.

In fact, he still couldn't understand the Mr. Key that Irene described, but he could imagine how terrible it would be for Mr. Key to become a being like the Abyss Saint. All human beings, including himself, including Fran's life, would be in danger. Sustained by this man's thoughts, as long as he suddenly wants to see what the disaster that destroyed the Abyss civilization looks like, they are like a group of animals waiting to be slaughtered, whether they live or die depends on this man's whim.

If this is the case, the other demigods currently are more normal than him.

"So Brother Zhi, I have a request." Eileen said suddenly.

"What else are you planning?" Lin Zhong said.

"Once there is activity in Abyss No. [-], I will officially start working with you to help you become a demigod. After that, I will continue to assist you. I just hope that you can ensure my safety before killing my father. As long as you can let my father die in front of me, my life and death from now on will be at your discretion, how about that?" Irene suggested seriously.

Lin finally thought about Irene's words. With Mr. Key's actions, Irene had a clear sense of crisis. She might become a sacrifice at any time. Naturally, she would want to get shelter as soon as possible, and she would even be ready to openly betray Mr. Key.

"Do you really think I will let you go in the end?" Lin Zhong asked.

"No, I think you should still consider killing me, brother. But if my father doesn't die, you won't be able to execute me yourself. At this point, at least you will try your best to kill him first and then punish me." Erin replied with a smile on the other end of the phone, "No one can say how your mood will change after killing my father. Maybe there is a slight possibility that you will be indifferent to my life and death?"

Lin Zhi thought for a moment and just replied: "Don't take it for granted."

Then, he hung up the phone.

In his opinion, it was a bit stupid to think about things at that time now. From becoming a demigod to killing Mr. Key, everything was full of uncertainty. His foresight could not see that far into the future.

He didn't know why, but now he found that he seemed to take some things lightly, such as his hatred for Mr. Key. This may be because after he evolved into an apostle, the hints left by Irene in the past had weakened.

But at the same time, he found that his idea of ​​killing Irene had also weakened, but he did not think it was because he had the idea of ​​​​forgiving this woman, but that after experiencing more things, he stood at a new height. , the meaning of Irene's existence has obviously become lighter to him.

In comparison, he found that he seemed more concerned about the future he wanted.

As soon as he thought of this idea, he subconsciously turned his eyes to Fran, who was sitting directly opposite the transport carriage.

Perhaps his change of mind was due to the warming of his relationship with Fran.

Now he has a clearer picture of the future in his mind - to live in a new world rebuilt by civilization with this woman in front of him.

If he now wants to do something to save the world, half of it is because he has been involved and deeply involved, and the other half is probably due to this expectation.

Fran caught his gaze, looked at him, and blinked curiously: "What?"

"Nothing." Lin Zhi just smiled.

Fran was a little confused and continued to blink in confusion. This reaction made Lin Zhong feel very interesting.

But then Fran looked as if she had gotten the answer: "Are you thinking..."

"No!" Lin Zhong, who sensed the danger in the other person's eyes, instantly suppressed his smile.

But Fran's switch seemed to have been pressed. She stared at Lin Zhi and asked, "Do we have any plans after we go back?"

"Let's take a good rest after the jet lag!" Lin Zhong replied quickly while avoiding his eyes.

It's so dangerous to look at this woman!

"I think..." Fran seemed to want to suggest something.

Lin Zhong immediately clapped his hands, turned his head and pointed out the car window and said, "Ah, we're here!!"

At this moment, he no longer dared to meet Fran's gaze.

But Fran obviously didn't give up easily, and still stared at him, which made Lin finally feel like a thorn in his back.

The transport truck stopped in the middle of the apron. Before the truck stopped, Lin Zhong opened the carriage and got out. Fran also got out of the car, staring at his back with a hint of dissatisfaction.

A huge military transport plane waiting to pick them up was parked not far away.

That was the "Magellan" transport plane that originally belonged to the clown gang's armed forces. After the vigilante group replaced the clown gang, it naturally became the asset of the vigilante group.

The people who came to see them off were already waiting by the door steps of the transport plane. The leader was Beitian Xingdao, who took off his mask. Now his apparent identity is an officer of the vigilante group. People who know his heroic identity are guarding the vigilante group. There were only a few people in the group, and two of them, Alfred and Julia, were with him.

"Thank you for preparing the flight for us." Lin Zhong shook hands with Titian Xingdao.

"It should be done, you have helped us so much." Wei Tianxingdao held his hand tightly, "Thank you, I will treat you well next time I come to Area 33."

Lin Zhi smiled, looked over Wei Tian Xingdao's shoulder, and turned to look at the fourth person who came to see them off: "Wan Jin."

"Brother Zhong..." Wan Jin took a step forward, looking a little timid.
