This time I chose Paladin

The spirit messenger drove while crying, the adrenaline gradually driving away the pain, and fear drove her to flee. Ten six-story monsters were looking at her at this moment, and the night sky on all sides was scarlet, which was the color dyed by the searchlight for her vision.

Like...blood dyed the world red.

The Spirit Messenger shuddered as this thought occurred to him. The image of the strange head embedded in the car window resurfaced, followed by the bloody spray of a severed arm; then, the bloody explosion beneath the tower, the pool of blood within the church, and the few lone survivors he'd casually killed to gain experience...

She once believed that a world without the constraints of law was truly wonderful. Even though the church's requirement to sever ties with the world forced her and her sister to kill their parents, even though life in the church was a world away from the luxurious life she once had, the life of being isolated from the world in the Bone Court and living a free life outside the church made her willing to endure these hardships.

What's more, she is needed in the church.

How happy...the gods needed her.

So she has to go back! Because the gods need her, and her sister needs her!

The Spirit Messenger seemed to have successfully brainwashed herself. She rallied and slammed the accelerator, sprinting out onto the street. Behind her, a prolonged sirens blared, and the diagonal light bands floating in the air unleashed a massive impact. With a resounding bang, most of the various buildings collapsed, sending shattered debris crashing down onto the Spirit Messenger's path.

The dense lights have locked onto her, and at this moment, the danger of the cordon is fully revealed.

Those in front of them gradually picked up speed and soon began to run. The roads and buildings shook and cracked, and the cracks spread in all directions.

A sports car navigating an obstacle-filled environment can never be faster than a six-story building that can create obstacles and disrupt the terrain. Faced with the same obstacle, the former can only slow down and turn, while the latter can crush it in a straight line.

In just a few minutes, the Spirit Courier was nearly crushed by the first police cordon that caught up. Screaming and swerving, she narrowly avoided being crushed, only to be sent flying by the shockwave. The car tumbled several meters before slamming into a newly opened unmanned convenience store. "Alarm, intentional attack!" The mechanically synthesized sound of "Alarm, intentional attack!" sent seven or eight shelves careening off the shelves. It clanged and banged its way forward several meters, finally breaking through the rear wall, and half of the car's front end emerged from the rubble.

The spirit messenger in the driver's seat almost fainted. It took him a long time to slowly raise his head, and his face was covered in blood from the scratch on his head.

Half of her life was saved by the airbag, and the other half was saved by the gray spirit covering her body. The former was the last protection given to her by human light industry, and the latter...

In the hazy gray light, the spirit with a distorted face screamed and howled, and it was obviously much thinner.

"..."

Mei Yan's mouth drooped under the mask.

She was shaking, she wanted to scream, she tried to climb out of the driver's seat, but the front of the car was flat, and she was trapped inside. The cordon behind was approaching, she could hear the roar getting louder and louder, the front of the car was on fire, the flames jumped so hot, but she only felt cold.

From the bottom of her heart, from her soul, from under the mask on her face, she bit her coldness tightly.

The wind blew through the swaying shadows of the trees, and the clouds blocked the silvery moonlight. She collapsed and made a small sound, then bit her tongue tightly, not even daring to look up at the sky.

She once thought that by becoming a member of the Returned Sect, she would be able to obtain wealth... By giving her heart to God and the doctrine, and doing something for the sect, she would be able to obtain the good life she wanted.

But - who could tell her why there would be someone in this world, a powerful person, who would oppose the Return Sect? !

That knight, that glowing knight… what the hell is he after?! How could someone have fighting and killing ingrained into their bones, killing people with such ease that it's like singing and dancing, and even appearing in a game like a goddamn action character?

How could someone in this dark and dangerous new world become such a terrifying person...

...You can still smile like that?!

The smile that was mostly hidden by the sunglasses echoed in her mind. At this moment, Mei Yan realized that as long as she belonged to the Return Sect, even for just one day, that terrifying light would hang above her head.

Therefore, fear is attached to the bones and follows you like a shadow.

The spirit courier broke down in tears like a helpless child, crying heartbreakingly, "Mom!!!!"

——【[Spiritual Call·Request for Rescue] has been delivered.】

[The [Submerged Ghost Matrix] has responded to your call.]

Mei Yan saw a pair of eyes filled with hatred and regret, eyes that looked just like her own.

The owner of those eyes emerged from the dense swarm of spirits and stretched out his arms towards her.

Hugged her.

Then, the gray spirit began to expand, forcefully supporting the steel frame of the vehicle. Amidst the creaking sounds, even the steel gradually twisted and deformed, but the pair of cold, illusory arms were as gentle as ever.

A few seconds later, the car opened up enough for Mei Yan to get in and out. Her limbs went limp, so she gritted her teeth and activated her ability, allowing the spirit to attach itself to her. This gave her even greater strength, and she climbed out. For a moment, she remembered that this was a birthday present from her parents.

Mei Yan scrambled away from it, just as she had escaped from the sharp thorns of the past. She knew that after crossing two mountains, she would find someone from the Return Sect to pick her up, and then she could go home.

She didn't know that on the ruins not far away, there was a figure sitting astride a motorcycle, his eyes following her back.

"……Ugh."

Nie Weiyang shook his head slightly, turned the accelerator, and avoided the blast released by the [Area Seal].

His murderous intent did not diminish.

On the contrary, it is rising.

"Since you are a person with feelings and can call me mother," he sneered, his eyes fixed on the roaring spirits surrounding the submerged ghost mother body - "Why do you do this to others?"

This chapter has started to be published.

-

About the mechanism of adding more:

Mature authors will add more chapters when conditions permit, so apart from the usual +1 update for the leader (after all, if this is not available, such a crazy rabbit will be caught and eaten cold), there is no other update mechanism (

Because I know my character too well. When I want to do a certain job and am in a good state, I can become a nuclear-powered ox and a horse. But if something unexpected becomes a "must-do" I will start to feel uncomfortable, especially if I am not in a good state. As long as things pile up, I will feel extremely uncomfortable... This is also one aspect of this person's illness ()

Let it be, there is still a long way to go, no need to rush for changes (?

The same goes for the word count for each chapter. I think I should stop at wherever it is appropriate if it is over 2000 words. I don't force the chapter to have an even subscription. The best thing is that I enjoy writing and everyone enjoys reading it.

There is still a long storyline after this one.

Chapter 83 RA Talk

Nie Weiyang no longer paid attention to the spirit-controlling messenger.

She was quite capable of finding her accomplices alive, and her attack on the psychological bomb wasn't in vain. But if she died, that wouldn't matter. At worst, she could find another way to plant mines for the returning sect. Either way, it was a good ending.

With knowledge that was twenty years ahead of his time in his head, he had ten thousand ways to return to the sect with dignity. The only thing he had to guard against was that they might summon the devil's incarnation if they got angry.

Nie Weiyang turned his car around, made a few turns and rushed out from between the cordons, but he did not leave the city. Instead, he turned back to the City Voice, picked up the car nimbly, jumped over the steps with a few jumps, drove all the way into the hall, and even drifted around the corners, leaving black and gray tire marks on the floor.

"How long will it take for these traces to disappear?" Nie Weiyang asked.

"After sunrise, the automatic cleaning process will sweep away everything left in the darkness." The host replied.

Yes, the status of the former civilization city will be "refreshed" at every sunrise, which is very unreasonable, but think about the emergence of things like "planet terrain editor", this unreasonable refresh is probably also a kind of common sense belonging to the new world.

The voice of the city has the power to rewrite reality. Although the impact is not large, it is easy to refresh the infrastructure of its own city.

only……

"The voice of the city needs to amplify the thoughts of residents in order to influence reality." Nie Weiyang said slowly, "What are you amplifying?"

"..." The host fell silent, then repeated the voice: "Log..."

Nie Weiyang waved his hand again to stop it.

"Open the server room to me," he said, his expression serious as he took out a black stone token inlaid with a Netherworld crystal. "The current status is the Boundary War period, and the shelter is in effect."

He calmly and naturally skipped over the fact that the shelter had actually run out of mail.

"Under the current circumstances, as the Vault Administrator, I have the authority to temporarily assume secondary authority should any anomaly occur in any Homo sapiens facility. I serve the continuation of civilization, and you serve the means and executors of that continuation. This is the path of survival for Homo sapiens.

"Now, I ask you to open the server room to me, because I suspect that some of your information comes from the underworld, and this—see?"

Nie Weiyang slowly turned the token over.

In the middle of the vortex, the black crystal facets with a dark purple and blue sheen reflected light. For a moment, it was more dazzling than the lights in the city sound.

"See? The Netherworld Crystal," he said. "You call the Cult of Return 'invaders,' and these invaders are using natural resources that originated from the same sources as part of your information library. I have reason to suspect that you have betrayed Homo sapiens!"

Today, there are three clear forces in the new world.

On one side is the "previous civilization" that was mainly composed of refuges of the previous civilization, supplemented by major urban facilities, and originally controlled the fate of this world.

On one side is a latent cult based on the Dukong Demon and belief system, the 'Return Sect'.

On one side are the 'visitors from Earth' spread all over the world.

The Former Civilization and the Return Sect are in a hostile relationship. The Return Sect parasitizes the Earth Visitors, but poses a significant threat to them. The Earth Visitors must survive amidst the wilderness of the New World, the artifacts of the Former Civilization, and the encroachment of the Return Sect.

The creatures of the previous civilization called the Return Sect invaders, but showed no hatred towards the visitors from Earth. This proves that what it opposed was actually the Sky-crossing Demon behind the Return Sect!

However, the creations of the Return Sect and the Sky-crossing Demons utilized Netherworld crystals. And the information on the host machine also had a 99% chance of originating from the Netherworld...

This is indeed a big deal. Nie Weiyang is not trying to exaggerate. He is just taking advantage of the situation.

At this moment, his choice of words and pronunciation were very particular, a kind of pressure and coercion that was higher and higher. His poor words had never been related to necessary aggression - when something could be transformed into a weapon, he would be a master of it!

The host has no emotions and naturally will not panic, but it currently determines that Nie Weiyang is a "Homo sapiens" and a "shelter manager", so his attitude must be taken into account in the calculation.

What Nie Weiyang is best at is to restrict all choices of the target in different ways, forcing the target to follow the path he sets!

Although he prefers fighting as his method of action, his options for action naturally include communication!

As for the possibility of the host being pushed to the limit and flipping the table...

First of all, this thing has no emotions.

Secondly, Nie Weiyang had gotten the new car to enhance his mobility for this very reason—now, even if the security perimeter outside was increased tenfold, they wouldn't be able to catch him. The host better be smart, or else, if he gets out alive, the administrator of Vault 4701 will have to visit another Vault in the city.

As long as he can get in, he can replace the token and make this 3539 shelter the jurisdiction and identity switching point of the "No. Administrator".

If it really comes to this, the one who comes back to look for the host later will be the real "second administrator"!

Only seeking danger will not lead to development, and only seeking survival will lead to bloody battles.

In his previous life, Nie Weiyang was able to become the strongest assassin precisely because he was good at surviving in danger!

As expected, the host's thinking was directed. It had clearly given up on using violence to maintain secrecy: "The database's simulated personality shows that we haven't..."

"'T6-C3510' City Voice, grant me temporary access immediately and open the server room!" Nie Weiyang shouted angrily. He didn't even give the host a chance to expand on this topic. He even got off the motorcycle and quickly walked towards the underground passage. "Survival is no small matter. You'd better submit to a routine inspection immediately. Otherwise, I will take other measures to maintain information security at all costs!"

——This is a method of waving the banner and pulling the tiger’s skin!

Brother, I have followed the rules. Do you dare to go against the world and offend the second administrator on the rules?

The information obtained from the Netherworld includes the identity of Administrator No. 2. So, what about Administrator No. 2's combat power?

"Secondary access has been granted," the host said. "You may now inspect classified areas, operate server hosts, and view log records."
