Chapter 89 "Rebel"

Seattle's rise is getting faster and faster.

Elroy shuddered and moved his body subconsciously, but there was no pain from the wound on his chest.

——The low temperature has frozen the blood, sealing the wound in a strange way.

Because of this, Elroy did not bleed to death.

However, hypothermia and severe lung injuries still dragged him towards the abyss of death.

It's 3:17 at the moment, Seattle is at an altitude of 3,900 meters, and the temperature feels like minus six degrees Celsius.

At this altitude, wind speed and temperature, you should wear a down jacket or cotton coat, stay by a warm fireplace, and drink coffee to keep warm.

However, Elroy only wore a thin shirt and was pinned to the outer wall by the metal railing. He persisted until now and is already in excellent physical condition.

But even though he has an outstanding will and a strong body, he is still a mortal.

The low temperature and cold wind continued to take away the energy from Elroy's body. His consciousness gradually became blurred and his skin turned purple.

However, Mad Dog's heart is still calm.

At this moment of approaching death, he seemed to have returned home.

"Home".

What a wonderful word, a safe haven, a comfortable home... In the description of human literature, home is always a warm and sweet marshmallow, a place where the soul rests, and a place where the body sleeps.

However, for Ellroy, "home" is nothing more than a thick pile blanket on the streets of Berlin.

He didn't know who his parents were, let alone where his hometown was. When he was very young, Elroy wandered on the streets of Berlin.

With the perfect social system in Europe, young orphans will be sent to orphanages or adopted by suitable couples. It is almost impossible for them to live on the streets, but there are always exceptions to everything.

Elroy was born handsome, and even as a child he was like an angel. It was difficult to tell the difference between male and female, and he was loved by everyone.

But sometimes, beauty is a talisman.

Fortunately, in little Elroy's young and beautiful body, there is a naturally strong and crazy heart beating.

When the first caregiver opened his arms and wanted to get "close and personal" with little Elroy, the boy bit off his eyeball and swallowed it alive in front of his horrified and frightened eyes.

After that, no one dared to think wrong.

Since then, Ellroy has been living on the streets of Berlin.

A thick plush blanket is his home.

The winter in Berlin is not cold, but without the protection of a sturdy house, the sea breeze blowing from the Atlantic still makes Elroy shiver with cold.

Child labor was strictly prohibited, and because of that incident, Ellroy developed a great distrust of the government and was unwilling to receive relief meals.

Therefore, in order to obtain the food he needed daily, he started to engage in some "small business", mostly fraud and theft.

He is so smart that he can learn anything instantly. With his outstanding appearance and age, Elroy never fails. He understands the importance of knowledge and has taught himself many courses. He even often exchanges food for other homeless people.

"A trivial little thing".

Elroy quickly absorbed knowledge and survival skills like a sponge. By the time he reached adulthood, he was already an "incredible thief" that gave the world's detectives a headache.

In the short period of more than 20 years, Ellroy lived a wonderful life.

But too many experiences made him feel bored at a young age and had no interest in anything. Even if he stole the most famous portrait in the world, he just threw it to a homeless man in Berlin as a prank.

Just Han.

Until that day, Andrew gave him a piece of top-secret information.

Extraordinary, temple, ring, trial.

Unprecedented emotions burst out in Elroy's heart, and almost instantly, his thoughts could no longer be contained.

——He wants to wear the ring and become a member of the temple!

Maybe it's for superhuman strength, maybe it's for power, maybe it's for selfish desires and the extravagant hope of immortality, maybe it's for...

But regardless of the reason, Elroy's desire to become a temple transcendent has never changed.

The plan was quickly formulated, and he acted according to his own will. In the end, under his leadership, the Schmidt family was almost completely destroyed.

Even now, the dilemma of being trapped on the rooftop of the Schmidt Building was part of his plan.

——I, Elroy, have accomplished something that even the testers cannot do as a mortal. I am here waiting for the temple's mercy...or judgment.

From the little homeless man on the streets of Berlin to the fish on the chopping board now nailed to the wall, the cold wind blowing on his body remains the same and has never changed.

Just like his strong heart.

This night, the goddess of fate favors those who work hard.

Just before Elroy's consciousness was about to fall into chaos, the man appeared on the rooftop of the Schmidt Tower.

He has a simple face and a slender build. He is about thirty years old, with deep eye sockets and flaxen hair.

At first glance, Elroy saw the pure black ring on the man's hand.

Mad Dog grinned, trying to show a smile, but the severe hypothermia brought his body to the verge of collapse. He couldn't control his expression. After trying several times, he simply gave up.

"Elroy Muller." The man said calmly:

"You have worked so hard and your life hangs on a thread. The temple has seen your efforts and the purpose behind them."

His voice was very soft, but like a huge heavy hammer, it shook Elroy's heart:

"Many people feel that the temple is a paradise for the holy, and that we should be flawless people, angels with perfect morals, just like Adam and Eve who were not tempted."

"Many people think that the temple is a ladder of harsh order. For strength, we step on each other's bones and climb towards the top of the [Holy Column]."

"Many people think that the temple is a corrupt keeper who monopolizes extraordinary secrets and holds on to precious treasures until death, like a greedy rat."

"These are us, but these are not us."

"We are neither perfect people nor extremely utilitarian, nor are we cunning misers."

"We are a group of...[rebels]."

"The world is bound to come to an end. This is an iron law summarized by countless civilizations. Life is beautiful, but the grave is the destination of all things."

"Diseases, natural disasters, divine wars, dimensional collisions... countless [accidents] and [disasters] will eventually lead to the inevitable result - the destruction of the world and the dissipation of all souls."

"This is the home of intelligent life."

"The meaning of the birth of the world lies in the moment of its destruction."

"But we [rebels] said [no] to this fate!"

"The world should not be destroyed."

"Humanity will never surrender."

"We will build the Great Wall that even the gods will fear, and fight to the death against this destiny. We will crush the enemy's bones in a vast war that mankind has never seen, strangle the destined future, shed the last drop of blood, and fight to the death.

."

"To this end, the Temple is willing to do anything and recruit anyone...who we judge may be beneficial to the future of humanity."

"Elroy Mueller."

"I don't want to know your reasons, and I'm not interested in discussing with you whether what you have done these days is correct or not."

"At least in my eyes, you have the qualifications to join the temple."

The man took out a gray ring and placed it on Elroy's hand:

"Go ahead, wear the Trialist's Ring, and become temporarily extraordinary."

"Show your talent, your strength, your strategy and your heart of steel to the temple."

"Trialist Elroy, your mission is to kill Edward Schmidt."
