Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 818 The test of will and consciousness
"You want me to keep this thing?"

Rosalin's sudden appearance seemed to have a strange attitude, but Lauren was not in the mood to think about the reason now.The weird machine still seems to be planning to attack those residents who have not escaped from here. If it leaves this place, the residents of the entire city may be in danger.

"Its core can transform human souls into power, just as heroes use human prayers as a source of power."

"So what? Are you going to watch it continue to prey on humans?"

Lauren glanced at the surrounding situation from the corner of his eyes. Luvina still stayed on the high ground and did not act rashly. The residents who were fleeing in all directions had disappeared. It was unclear whether they had fled or hid.

"Lauren...are you really going to keep fighting with that name?"

Rosalin's expression looked a little strange, and the power in her body seemed a little unstable.Lauren immediately raised his vigilance. Although the person in front of him had the appearance of Rosalind, there seemed to be some difference in the core.

"Human beings summoned heroes for their own selfish desires, but the heroes never asked for any reward until their death...Do you really agree with this result?"

Although Lauren had been trying to avoid this question before, he hadn't thought about it.In the final analysis, the purpose of human beings praying for the arrival of heroes is just "not wanting to end here." They have never thought about the price they should pay, and no one blames them for this.

"If heroes are just consumables for human beings to fulfill their wishes, wouldn't it be better to just make them consumables themselves?"

The frenzied machines gained false names as heroes, devouring human souls in order to become more powerful.If it is allowed to continue to prey on humans, maybe one day it will really be able to gain power that rivals heroes.

Since humans are so eager to pray for salvation, they should also pay an equal price.

"The theory seems correct, but..."

However, Luo Lun was not swayed by such words. The phoenix flames wrapped around him slowly converged on the black sword blade.And he himself did not get out of the fighting posture, and his momentum increased a bit.

"If humans can really solve problems by themselves, then what's the point of my existence?"

Rosalin, who was like a twisted shadow, frowned. Instead of answering the question, she became even more illusory.And Laurent didn't seem to care much about her changes, but turned his attention to the huge humanoid machine that seemed to be stuck in some kind of stagnation.

"Before I find the answer myself, don't use such poor reasons to deny the reason for my existence... The Golden Capital."

It seemed that Rosalin's shadow suddenly expanded and spread, turning into huge claws as if she wanted to hunt Lauren, but Lauren did not pay attention to it at all.The gun blade in his hand raised a blue holy flame, sweeping everything he looked at in an instant.

"It's just broken copper and iron, don't think of yourself as a hero."

The huge machine burned and collapsed in the phoenix flames, and countless ethereal souls flew out of the hollow furnace cavity and returned to nothingness.And the black shadow that swept in like a huge wave also dissipated and disappeared as if it had never appeared.

"Brother! Why did you suddenly disappear just now!"

After everything was reduced to ashes, Luvina's voice finally sounded beside Lauren.Her expression looked so anxious that Lauren almost forgot that she had the ability to deceive him by creating illusions that were confusingly real.

"I don't know anything."

"After that big robot was assembled, you and it suddenly disappeared together..."

“Don’t doubt Luvina, I did it. 』

Lauren, who originally planned to test Luvina, heard Rosalin's voice in the communication.Although he roughly guessed that this was also a small trap, Lauren, who had been tricked many times, still felt a little unhappy.

"After all, I can be considered one of your trials... Even though Mingye messed up the whole plan, I still have to abide by the contract with the Golden City and give you a test." 』

"But that seems a bit too simplistic, right?"

"At least the Golden Capital has recognized it... Let's talk about the specific things later. We'd better leave this city first. 』

Lauren had actually heard the piercing siren coming from outside. It was estimated that soon, the security personnel who had gathered would swarm in and arrest all the suspicious people here for interrogation.

Although he didn't completely trust Rosalin, Lauren didn't intend to get entangled in such a place.There won't be any changes in this city in a short time. Even if the college wants to negotiate with them, it will have to wait until the problem really arises.

Having gained nothing, Luo Lun and his party returned to the previously scheduled meeting point, which was still some distance away from the land-speed boat's hiding place.To be on the safe side, Luo Lun did not let Jing start the land boat.

"To be honest, I don't believe what you say at all."

After Rosaleen emerged from the shadows again, Laurent spoke his mind directly.The suspicious attitude made Lu Weina a little at a loss, while Rosalin seemed to have some difficulties and did not start to explain immediately.

"Although my memory is not complete, the Golden Capital should have used the same routine in the past." The blue phoenix flame ignited in Lauren's hand again. "So answer me, who can I trust now?"

The blue flame in his hand seemed to be the answer given by Lauren himself, but Rosalin and Luvina both remained silent about it.Their connection with the Golden City is too close, so they must be hiding something.

"You don't have to believe anyone."

"Varied……"

Red flashes of lightning fell from the sky and exploded around the three of them.And among the rising dust, a familiar figure quietly emerged.

"I apologize for the long absence of greetings, Mr. Laurent."

The person who should never have appeared here and now suddenly appeared in front of Lauren for some reason.The trousers and white shirt that exude a full sense of laziness are slightly baggy, but they can't hide the almost perfect body curve at all. The gorgeous long purple hair, coupled with a confident and slightly playful smile, are no different from the past. Erzhi's appearance made Luo Lun lose consciousness for a moment.

"You... made a mistake about the time of appearance?"

"That was indeed the case, but I have changed my strategy."

The red lightning flashing continuously in those beautiful silver-gray eyes added an eerie beauty to that peerless appearance.And Lauren, who discovered this change, crossed his arms and put on a noncommittal gesture.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Because I am a hero, so I can solve the world's crisis... This world doesn't need any heroes at all."

The brave man who was the strongest in the beginning suddenly made such a declaration.
