Ma'am, I like you!

"Aren't they... human?" Anna said softly.

"No."

"But they're...like people." Farrow felt his scalp tingle.

"Yes, so we must find a way to end this fog, otherwise we will be replaced by these things, and so will the whole of Europe and even the whole world." Shanna said.

These words made several people fall into deep fear.

"Damn it, how can this work? I, Paying, cannot be replaced by a counterfeit." Paying said behind Anna's back.

Then several people continued to embark on the journey of escape.

There are no pedestrians on the street, only the radio has been broadcasting the news that several blocks have been blocked recently, asking citizens to evacuate as soon as possible.

Thanks to this, Shanna and her party came to Mark Street smoothly.

This is the place where Shanna met Su Ming for the first time, and it is also the place they agreed upon.

Although Shanna didn't say it clearly, she believed that Su Ming must know.

No one was seen on Mark Street. Shanna brought a few people to the room where she fought Su Ming before, and was going to take a rest here and wait for Su Ming's arrival.

After entering it, Paying put Anna on the sofa, and Farrow also asked if Anna was uncomfortable, and he also breathed a sigh of relief after getting An's good answer.

"This place...why do I feel a little familiar?" Paying looked at the room and said.

"Have you been here?" Shanna asked.

"No, I just arrived in London today. I was active in the suburbs before. That guy Doyle was in charge of the urban area... Hey, for Doyle." Pa Ying clapped his hands, "Isn't this Doyle's style?"

"Doyle's style?"

"It's tattered and worthless, although he himself said it's 'quaint nostalgia'." Pa Ying picked up a rag next to the sofa, sniffed it, and vomited.

"It's him, vomit, smells like smoke."

Shanna looked at him, and then asked: "What organization is the Candlelight Knights you are talking about? What are you and Nador here for?"

Originally, I didn't have time to ask in detail, but now, taking advantage of the rest, Shanna also wanted to find out the details of this greasy knight.

"Ah? Aren't you from Zero? You don't even know the Candlelight Knights?" Paying was surprised, and then said, "It's an ancient justice organization. Have you heard of the Teutonic Knights? It is a branch of our organization." , Although it has been passed down to today's modern society and the organization has withered, there are still some responsible knights, such as me and my colleagues."

"Sherlock Doyle is one of them. He came here to investigate the [-]th, and to investigate your zero."

"Are we zero?"

"That's right, your director is definitely a traitor, you can't see it, can you?"

"..."

Pa Ying raised her eyebrows: "Huh? You really can't see it? Then you might..."

Before Paying could finish speaking, Shanna suddenly raised her gun.

"Damn! You bastard!"

Paying thought that Shanna was going to shoot herself if she disagreed with her, but Shanna's gun was aimed at the door.

Everyone looked back.

A man wearing a round hat stood at the door at some point, and there was a penetrating smile on the corner of his mouth.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Robert!"

After seeing the man's appearance, the surprise in Shanna's eyes directly turned into anger.

Isn't this person her former leader, the director of Division Zero——Robert Richard.

When he provoked Su Ming and was dismissed by his superiors, Shanna still felt that he was wronged. Su Ming used power to bully a good person who upholds justice.

But now Shanna understood that it was just a part of Robert's plan, and the purpose of provoking Su Ming was just to make it easier for her to collude with those organizations that betrayed human beings in the dark.

I didn't expect him to appear in front of me today.

Shanna raised the rifle in her hand without hesitation.

But Robert, who was wearing a round hat, didn't show any fear at all, instead he let out a helpless sigh.

"Sanna, you are still the same as before, so impulsive."

"Didn't I teach you many times, in this line of work, you must not be impulsive, and learn to be as calm as a snake, otherwise you will suffer a lot."

Robert actually took the initiative to mention the past, and Shanna didn't feel nostalgic, only disgusted.

"So, is this how you turned into a poisonous snake to seek refuge with those traitors who tried to destroy humanity, and calmly deal with us in the dark?" Shanna asked coldly.

She didn't shoot right away.

She's impulsive, yes, but she's not stupid.

Robert can suddenly appear here, which means that he must have been watching the whole time when he was fleeing from his side.

That being the case, maybe there are all his people around this house at this time, and Shanna is not alone. Apart from this "knight" who doesn't seem to know what is useful, there is also an old man with an inconvenient leg. of ordinary civilians.

Especially since these two civilians knew Su Ming, even if Shanna didn't think about herself, she had to think about these people.

She had to find a way to escape safely, or create time to wait for Su Ming to arrive.

"First of all, I didn't deal with you." Robert walked into the room under everyone's vigilant gaze, took off his round cap with a relaxed expression, and sat on a cheap blue plastic chair by the door.

"If I really want to deal with you and kill you all, I don't have to show up in person, do I?" Robert smiled calmly.

"Secondly, Krisna Shanna, as the best member of the department, a top student who graduated from Oxford University, do you think that the 'Lord' is 'destroying' human beings like those ignorant people?"

"Isn't it?" It was not Shanna who spoke, but Pa Ying who was beside her.

Paying had a serious face at this time, without any hint of laughter, and the blue eyes under the blond hair glared at Robert: "If you think London is a normal London now, and the citizens of London are normal human beings, then I don't think so either." What human words can shame you."

"Lancelot Paying." Robert looked at the young blond knight, smiled and said his name accurately: "A lot of lengthy middle names have been omitted, this name should be your common name, right? "

Paying didn't answer. Although he had never met Robert, Robert knew his details.

This is not surprising, after all, "investigating intelligence" is Robert's specialty.

"As a newly promoted knight of the Candlelight Knights, you bear the responsibility of restoring the glory of the family." Robert raised Erlang's legs and gently placed the round cap on his knees.

"Usually you seem to be suave and idle, but you attach great importance to family affection. For this reason, you even sold all your family property after your parents died and used money to join the Knights, in order not to disappoint your parents."

"But... forgive me." Robert looked at the angry Paying: "If this handsome dark knight really values ​​family affection and is extremely filial, then what should I do?"

Paying was taken aback.

Robert continued to calmly say: "I didn't work hard when my parents were still alive, but I only remembered my mission after they died."

"Can this kind of character really join the Knights? It seems that the old Sherlock Doyle knight is very short of money recently."

"Of course, you can also say that I'm slandering you. After all, I don't have any evidence." Robert looked at Paying, who lowered his head, "But you won't say that, because what I said is the truth."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Shanna saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately interrupted Robert.

"I want to put it very simply." Robert said with a natural expression, "Human beings are not perfect, and this knight is a living example."

"He was born much better than most ordinary people, and even so, he has accomplished nothing for 28 years. He is undoubtedly a failure, a failure who has disappointed his parents and ancestors." Robert sighed, "and There are many, many more losers like this."

"Even this 'many' can include 'the whole human race', oh, except for Su Ming." Robert admired sincerely.

"She is not a loser, she is an existence that even the 'lord' praises."

"Human beings are such a group, full of failures, even if they have a short-term success, they will eventually fall into a shackles. Those who achieve a little bit of success will leave their names in history, but the vast majority of people are just In the blink of an eye, no one has the ability to change their own failures, from the emperors of the empire to ordinary people."

"But it's different now. Now the 'Lord' from the distant land of the gods has come to us, giving ordinary mortals the chance to change." Robert's smile became more vigorous, and so did the look in his eyes.

"All those who fail will be borne by the apostles of the 'Lord'. This is a second chance bestowed by the Lord."

"You call the act of turning the whole of London into a ghost town a 'second chance'?" Pain sneered, "It seems that you, a human traitor, don't even know basic logic, and you became the target of those demons." running dog."

Robert thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's really inappropriate, maybe we should find a more appropriate word."

"Like 'Gospel Day'? It fits the mood."

"Since you look down on humans, it's really ridiculous that you want to steal words invented by humans." Shanna said coldly.

"I don't look down on humans, I am a human being myself." Robert shrugged, "But Shanna, you seem to be looking down on yourself now?"

"What? Beside Su Ming, bathed in her light, feel ashamed to be with me before?"

"..."

"Well, looking at it this way, your will is not as good as Oliver's." Robert shook his head.

"Do you remember Oliver? It's the blond boy who does the job in the office, the one who picks you up in the car, and the one who always calls you Sister Shanna, as if he is your real brother? To avoid suspicion, you have very little time with him. talking."

"What did you do to Oliver?!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"I didn't do anything to him, because he hasn't reached the level where I need to do something to him personally. His value is the same as his ability, which is too low." Robert replied.

"Just like all the failed human beings, he also entered the virtual world created by the apostle of the 'lord', Apat, the god of deceit, to live a perfect life without regrets."

"How is it? Does it sound a little emotional?" Robert smiled.

"You killed him?!" Shanna asked through gritted teeth.

Seeing Shanna who was suddenly excited, the smile on Robert's face became even stronger.

Like a hunter appreciating a struggling prey, Shannah's response satisfied him.

Although the servants of the "lord" are loyal, they are also too boring. Instead, these native humans who escaped the gift by chance are interesting.

That's one of the reasons why he's here.

"If in your eyes, being replaced by a failed life and having a second chance to start over is death, then he is indeed 'dead'." Robert said after thinking for a moment.

"However, I think this kind of 'death' is a relief not only for him, but for all Londoners. After all, in the reality we are in, they will not have a chance to start again."

"Since you think it's relief, why don't you die?" Shanna shouted.

"Because I still have unfinished business to do." After putting on his hat, Robert spread his hands, "There is always a sweeper on the road to success, and I am this person. Of course, I am also very honored to be such a person. people."

"Don't worry, Shanna, your brother is fine now. Although he has been reborn in my eyes, biologically, he is still alive like all other Londoners. After all, the apostle of the Lord, Apata, also It is those things in the sky that still need their existence to continuously transform the whole of Britain, and even the whole of Europe and the world."

Robert patted the dust on the corner of his clothes: "Of course, I can't guarantee that there will be any accidents in the process of their pursuit of a successful life again."

"What accident?" Shanna asked immediately.

"For example, real death and the like, although it is in a perfect virtual environment, but the real rebirth also means real consciousness. Once you die there, then reality will naturally become an empty shell."

"where is he?!"

"I can't say that."

"Robert!" Shanna gritted her teeth and raised the muzzle of the gun.

"Miss Shanna, he is trying to provoke you... so that the whale monsters in the sky can find your breath."

At this moment, Anna who was sitting on the sofa behind Shanna spoke anxiously.

This surprised Farrow on the side, wondering how his daughter knew this kind of thing?

Not only Farrow, Shanna and Paying were also slightly startled, then looked down at their arms, and found that there was a faint layer of mist on the fluff of their arms.

It was something produced by the monster that released the special dense fog in the sky, following their emotional fluctuations and coming slowly under Robert's guidance.

"Is this the first awakened one... In the east, it is also called 'Xianlinzi'." Robert was slightly surprised, and looked at the long-haired and thin Anna.

"It's really interesting. Unlike other awakened ones, you can naturally sense the aura fluctuations of the entire blessed land created by the apostles of the 'Lord', which is also called the 'Cave Heaven' in the East..." Robert picked up his hat, Standing up slowly, there was a look of interest in Anna's eyes.

Seeing this, Farrow, with half-gray hair, immediately stood in front of his daughter, while Shanna and Paying subconsciously approached Farrow and stood in front of Farrow.

Obviously, they all saw Robert's interest in Anna.

But Robert didn't do anything, because he was just "interested".

"However, it's only to this extent. Two years ago, an existence organization like yours should have been very interested, but the times have changed too fast. Under the leadership of Su Ming, it has been pushed forward for at least 50 years. ’” Robert exclaimed.

"That Su Ming is really the protagonist of the times. I'm really envious to be so valued by the 'Master'."

"I didn't cause the aura of Apates on your bodies. After all, you who have not been replaced are as conspicuous as candles in the dark night in London. Of course those Apates will notice you. There is no need to I will do everything I can to lead the way."

"So, you don't have to worry about me hurting her. She has been weakened due to her long-term absorption of spiritual energy, and has no use value for us. Instead, if she takes the initiative to accept the gifts of Apat from the sky and replace the complex The aura, on the contrary, will bring her back to life."
