I changed the world

But the old man turned his gaze over and looked at the driver with an indifferent expression. The driver's heartbeat accelerated for a moment and he didn't dare to look directly. He bowed his head and lowered his hands in the rain with a respectful expression.

"The measure with which you measure others will be measured to you. And he who shows no mercy will be judged without mercy."

"I want mercy! I want mercy!!!"

The strong man who was half man and half tree could no longer stand at this time. He fell to the ground and watched the tree-like limbs approaching his neck step by step. It was about to spread to his head, and the numbness Part of his body was undoubtedly telling him that everything that happened before him was real!

He finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in fear, even tears came out, crying bitterly: "I know my mistake! I am humble, I repent, please save me!!! I am a believer, please be kind." Lord save me!!"

The old man was silent for a while, and finally spoke again: "Whoever seeks the Lord wholeheartedly, even if he does not purify himself according to the rituals of cleansing in the sanctuary, may the Lord, the most good, forgive him."

At this moment, the tree-like part had spread to half of the strong man's neck, and even part of it had spread to the right corner of his mouth, making it extremely difficult for him to speak.

Hearing the old man's words, he felt blessed. He hurriedly began to pray, and the words of the prayer came out of his mouth with difficulty and confusion.

Chapter 648 May everyone hallow your name.

"Our father in heaven,

May your name be holy.

may your kingdom come...

Strangely enough, as his prayers rang out, and in the surprised eyes of those around him, the tree transformation of his body finally stopped, and began to slowly fade away as his prayers continued.

"Plop..." In the face of this miraculous event, finally, the gun in the hand of another strong man on the side also fell to the ground, but his knees softened, he knelt on the ground, lowered his head and began to pray.

“May your will be done on earth,

Like walking in the sky.

our daily diet,

Give us today..."

Following closely behind, the driver hesitantly began to pray. Finally, the last strong man with a gun also began to pray:

“Lead us not into temptation,

Deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power, the glory,

it's all yours,

Forever……"

It wasn't until several people finished praying that all the abnormal signs on the tree-turned strong man completely disappeared. Driven by various emotions such as awe, ecstasy, fear, excitement, etc., the strong man instantly collapsed to the ground.Beside him, several other companions did not realize until this moment that the mysterious old man had disappeared, and the surrounding fog had also dissipated without a trace.

"squeak!!!"

Until then, a violent braking sound came, but it was the last black car that found them. It turned out that it had been spinning less than 50 meters away from the other two cars...

"Boom!"

A huge vortex jet sound came from overhead. Through the alloy floor-to-ceiling windows of the terminal, a white medium-sized civil aviation aircraft almost flew away from the terminal. The huge fuselage rolled over, giving a sense of oppression, just like in a movie. Scenes from blockbusters.

At this time, the security checkpoint was still in chaos. A large number of people were crowded there. The security check channel had long lost its function. Everyone was trying to rush through the security check area and run towards the boarding area.

"Help! Don't leave us behind!"

"Go back quickly!"

"Ah! Don't squeeze, you will be trampled to death!!"

………………

The security personnel were completely unable to maintain order. In desperation, the boarding gate was forcibly closed, and the people in front were forced to retreat desperately. However, the overwhelmed crowd behind was still pushing forward hard, and the scene instantly became a mess.

Father Simon was hiding in a corner of the security area, watching all this with a worried expression.He had naturally heard the words shouted by the terrorists just now. The phrase "Lekyan people need freedom" already explained their origins.

There is a high probability that these people are members of the Rykoa resistance organization. As Grande's colony in the Black Continent, the Rykoa colony is rich in resources and is rich in a variety of rare non-ferrous metals. There are many kinds of metals, and they have the same reserves on other planets in the solar system. Not big.It’s just that the indigenous people here, the Lekyan people, have been fierce and brave since ancient times. Due to the conflict in the distribution of interests in local resources and the heavy pollution caused by the extractive industry, the resistance has never stopped.

However, over the years, the Grand government has been cracking down and dividing these resistance forces. In his impression, it has been a long time since a terrorist attack could be launched in Side City, the core city of Grand.

While Father Simon was thinking, he noticed that the gunshots in the hall in the distance were calming down. He wondered if the police had already controlled the situation.

Sure enough, when he was still guessing, the broadcast in the terminal began to play: "Dear passengers, please pay attention! Dear passengers, please pay attention! The waiting hall of Terminal 1 of the airport has just suffered a sudden attack. Now the incident It has subsided. I repeat, there was a sudden attack in the waiting hall of Terminal 1 of the airport, and now the incident has subsided."

"This airport has sufficient security personnel and plans to handle various emergencies. Please stay calm!"

"Boarding is currently suspended. Passengers who have gathered in the security check channel and boarding hall of Terminal 1 are asked to return to the waiting hall. Passengers who have gathered in the security check channel and boarding hall of Terminal 1 are asked to return to the waiting hall. Airport lobby! We will reorganize security inspections and count the losses of people and items. Please cooperate..."

Father Simon felt relieved immediately after hearing this. It was obvious that the crowd around him stopped crowding and pushing after hearing the broadcast. As the broadcast was broadcast repeatedly and some staff began to guide them, the flow of people slowly began to move toward the waiting area. The direction of the airport lobby begins to flow again...

Today was such an eventful day. Father Simon sighed, stood up, glanced at the suitcase beside him, and subconsciously reached out to touch his trouser pocket. Then, his expression froze.

The trouser pocket was empty, and his heart tightened. He hurriedly touched his trouser pocket on the other side, but it was still empty!

I touched again and again the two trouser pockets, then the pockets, and the dirty clothes I had put in the bag before. I took them out and touched them, but still nothing!

His necklace has disappeared!

Father Simon's heart suddenly became cold, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Why is it missing? ! !

When was it lost? ! !

No longer caring about what was said on the radio, Father Simon bowed and looked back along the way he came just now in a panic...

"I'm sorry, please step aside..."

"excuse me……"

"Sorry……"

He searched all the way. According to the roads he had walked in his memory, the surroundings were extremely crowded at this time. In order to see the situation on the ground clearly, he had to squeeze or even knock away some passengers, and thus received some angry looks or curses at him. He didn't care at all, but even so, when he returned to the waiting hall like a headless fly, he still didn't find his necklace.

There is a saying that goes well, the feeling of having something and then losing it is more regretful than never having something.

Father Simon looked blankly at the passengers and the hurried security personnel in the waiting hall. He had mixed feelings for a while, and felt that he had lost a crucial item in his life.

"Kid, are you looking for this?" Just when he was feeling despair and didn't know what to do, a voice came from behind him.

Father Simon turned around and saw an old man wearing a black woolen suit, a silver crown brooch on his chest, well-groomed gray hair and short beard.

At this time, the old man was holding a necklace that looked familiar to him. The copper crown pendant made him recognize it at a glance as the necklace he had lost.

"Ah, this is it!"

Father Simon took the necklace in a panic and held it in his hands. He was almost immediately sure that it was the necklace he had lost.

Chapter 649 Side effects?

"Thank you so much! Could you please..." After that, he realized belatedly that he had been too rude and had neglected the kind-hearted old man in front of him.So he raised his head and wanted to ask for the other person's name and further express his gratitude.

However, when he raised his head again, he found that there was no shadow of the old man in front of him. He stretched his neck and looked left and right. However, no trace of the old man could be seen in his surroundings.

"Sir, do you need anything?" Perhaps the way he looked around was too conspicuous, which attracted the attention of two uniformed police officers on the side. It was probably because such an appalling incident had just happened, so there were so many people in the hall. At this time, a large number of police officers with weapons and uniforms were interrogating and inspecting.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just lost some salutes, so I'm looking for them." Father Simon hurriedly covered it up.

The two police officers nodded. Apparently this reason seemed legitimate to them. In the chaos just now, many people lost their luggage.After the two checked Father Simon's identity and found that he was a priest, their attitude became a little better. One of them kindly reminded him that if he did not find his lost luggage in the end, he could go to the specially set up check-in at the entrance of the airport hall. If you register with us, you may be able to receive compensation later.

While Father Simon was dealing with the two police officers absentmindedly, Zhang Jing was walking in the rainy night of Side City.

The game surrounding Father Simon was quite clear to Zhang Jing. Those Lekyan people were obviously being manipulated behind the scenes.It's not that these people are pretending, but that these people are always being watched.

From the time they started taking action until the action was controlled, the whole process actually did not cause too many casualties. In Zhang Jing's view, those who used this incident to cover up the theft of Father Simon's "sacred object" might be those who human purpose.

It was obvious that some people in Grande officials couldn't help but quit.However, they are also worried about the potential power of the church. After all, those who do not understand are the ones worth fearing the most, so they staged such a covert drama.

Now that everything has come to an end for the time being, Zhang Jing is not in a hurry to return to his home. The rain curtain makes him feel quite comfortable, so he takes a walk in the rain curtain for a while.

As a well-known super city in the Western Continent, Side City, the capital of the Grand Republic, has a long history and numerous buildings from various historical periods.Zhang Jing had never been here before, but now he was walking on the quiet streets and looking at the exotic buildings on both sides of the streets, which made him quite interested for a while.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Through the water vapor all over the sky, Zhang Jing's perception is greatly extended in all directions. His whole figure is becoming more and more dazed in the rain curtain. He looks forward and suddenly behind. Gradually, his power, Perception is gradually connected with this rain curtain.

To outsiders, he looked like a ghost walking in the rain, seemingly walking slowly. However, if someone stared at him, they would find that he had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, there were very few people on the street at this time. Even if there were people, they would be hurrying home under umbrellas. Otherwise, there might really be some supernatural rumors...

It was said to be a walk, but Zhang Jing was actually very fast. He came as he pleased. In just over ten minutes, he had crossed the Mondero River and arrived at the area from District 7 to District 1.

The divisions of Side City are arranged numerically. Districts 1 and 7 border each other across the Mondero River and are both old towns in the traditional sense.

Standing on the bank of the Mondeiro River, Zhang Jing took a look at the night view of the river. In many modern poems circulated in the Western Continent, the Mondeiro River is a river that is often mentioned. In fact, it is also Considered to be the mother river of Xide City, the earliest Xide City was built along this river, and then gradually expanded farther away.

In some of the poems he knew, the Mondeiro River was often described as romantic and elegant. However, in Zhang Jing's opinion at this time, the Mondeiro River was rushing and there was a large amount of garbage that had not been cleared on both sides, some of which It can be seen that it was left by homeless people, and there are even many traces of sleeping in the open.

Even after becoming a republic, the gap between the rich and the poor in Grande is still relatively serious. Zhang Jing has discovered that there are many homeless people sleeping on the streets in Xide City, which is even greater than that in Dazhao, which he is more familiar with. Imperial country.

Feeling a little disappointed, Zhang Jing didn't want to look any further and just walked towards District 1. He wanted to take a look at the most famous buildings in Xida City.

However, at this moment, Zhang Jing suddenly stopped. He recognized the direction and looked east. In the rain curtain, his perception was rapidly extending and expanding. He could feel it. , unusual events are happening there.

Could it be that... there are side effects?Zhang Jing thought briefly and made a judgment. His previous wishes had never had any new side effects. Now, there is a high probability that the "side effects" of the wish have been triggered again.

Fortunately, based on the points he had spent on making wishes before, Zhang Jing had an estimate in his mind. If it was really a side effect triggered by the wish, then the intensity of the event should be within the range that he could handle.In particular, he still has the bonus of "good luck".

In this case, there was no need to evade. Zhang Jing confirmed the direction and disappeared from the spot.

承和37年2016年4月2日00:39格兰德首府西黛市巴拉迪尔国立博物馆

The National Museum of Balladur is a world-famous museum. It was originally the private palace of the Grande royal family, named Palais François, and houses a large number of royal art collections.

After the founding of the Republic, in order to enhance the image of the royal family in the hearts of the people, King Balladur II announced that he would open the palace into a museum and donated a number of artworks and cultural relics to the country. In this way, the original François The Palazzo Vecchio became the National Museum of Balladir. Although most of the exhibits still belong to the royal family, citizens are also free to go and watch them.As it turns out, this did bring the royal family quite a bit of praise.

Chapter 6: Guarding and Stealing

It was already early in the morning. Due to the special nature of the Balladur National Museum, which houses a large number of royal collections, in addition to ordinary security personnel, there was also a team of royal guards with guns on duty outside the museum.In addition, it is located in the core area of ​​Side City, surrounded by numerous government agencies, such as the Grand Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Parliament Building, etc.Therefore, overall, the security of the Balladur National Museum is relatively stable, and there have never been any incidents of collections being stolen.

According to statistics, the Balladur National Museum has a collection of more than 30 pieces and nearly 200 exhibition halls. The largest exhibition hall is more than 200 meters long. In addition to domestic art treasures, there are also many cultural relics and works of art from all over the world.Therefore, the Grand people divided it into multiple exhibition halls for display, namely the Eastern Continent Art Hall, the Western Classical Art Hall, the Aboriginal Culture Hall, the Painting Hall and the Sculpture Hall.

It can be said that such a huge museum cannot be seen in one or two days. In fact, the museum adopts a rotating opening system. Only half of the exhibition halls are open on each opening day, and Wednesday is the closing day.

At this time, the maintenance time after closing has long passed, and the museum is quiet. Two guards in security uniforms are holding flashlights and shaking them from side to side. They are walking in the long corridor of the museum, checking left and right for any accidents. situation arises.

It was already late at night, and the lights in the museum had already been extinguished. Only the light of the flashlight could bring some light.Walking in front of one exhibit after another, it feels like a long time has passed. For ordinary people, this atmosphere is a bit breathtaking.

But for the two guards, this was obviously a relatively familiar daily job. They communicated in low voices and occasionally let out relaxed laughter.

However, if someone listened carefully to their conversation, they would notice that something seemed wrong.

"Sean, I think we are too careful? If you go to a painting gallery, whether it's religious paintings or impressionist paintings... you can just take out any one and sell it for tens of millions."

"Stupid, don't you know how many people are staring at those works? If we really touch those things, we will be discovered within a week, and we will all be unlucky then!"

"Okay... maybe you're right, I just think it's too slow to make money by always taking those little things..."

"Hubert, you have to understand that for us, safety is the most important thing. Those big shots won't care about an unknown small stone statue that was dropped in the Aboriginal Cultural Center. Do you understand? For them , those are just a dispensable collection, and even His Majesty may not know that he has such a collection."

"But if they were swapped with a Renaissance painting or a classical statue, then they would be in big trouble. No one can hide it because they are so famous. They will look for all the clues inch by inch. We He will be found out and thrown into prison..."

"Okay, you're right Sean... I guess I was too hasty..."

"You should spend less money on that stripper. I told you before, that woman is a bottomless pit..."

The two guards communicated in a low voice, walked through the corridor of the sculpture hall, and walked towards the Aboriginal Cultural Center.

In the National Museum of Balladur, the Aboriginal Culture Hall is the last exhibition hall established. Most of the exhibits displayed are from the Black Continent and the New World, and are related to Aboriginal culture collections.

Compared with other exhibition halls, the exhibits here are more "curious" in the eyes of many tourists, and are not as good as other exhibition halls in terms of so-called "cultural value" and "historical value".

..............................

After entering the Aboriginal Cultural Center and passing through several exhibition halls that displayed a large number of Aboriginal lifestyles and local animal specimens in the Black Continent, the two guards slowed down, stopped talking, and carefully observed the surrounding situation. They were making sure no one else was around.

After passing through an exhibition hall displaying pottery and handicrafts made by the indigenous people of the Black Continent, the two entered an exhibition hall displaying cultural relics unearthed from the Black Continent.

The overall style of the exhibits here is obviously different from the previous exhibition halls. A large number of stone statues and handicrafts with abstract carvings are displayed.According to the description on the display board in the exhibition hall, the items displayed here are cultural relics from what current historical researchers call the Kalagada period, and were excavated from a site in the northern part of the Black Continent.
