"On that day all the fountains of the vast abyss burst open, and all the floodgates of heaven were opened."
In the lecture hall of Rendong University, the theology teacher was walking on the stage holding a book and reading:
"God asked mankind to build a huge ship called 'Noah's Ark', so that the selected lives could escape this doomsday catastrophe..."
Theology is a key subject at Rendong University. This class not only explains the Bible, but also discusses religious classics such as the Tao Te Ching and the Lotus Sutra.
Since card masters need to firm up their ideas in order to make the fire brighter, drawing nutrients from theological classics can be regarded as a way to rise.
The attendance rate in the audience is very high. Some students are devout believers, some come to listen to the lectures, and some come for credits.
Jolina was here to brush up her credits. She held her chin and turned the penholder, staring blankly at the blackboard with her ruby eyes, imagining the extremely huge 'Noah's Ark' in her mind.
Since God is all-knowing and all-powerful, he might as well let the doomsday not harm those few humans. Why go to such unnecessary lengths...
Or is it that even God is powerless in the face of the end and can only save a few people?
The theology teacher moved his eyes on the list and called:
"Jolene Jones. Miss Jones! Please tell me, what is the moral of this story?"
There was rustling movement under the stage. This is obviously not a good question. A story is a story. Who knows what the meaning is?
More people looked curiously at the legendary Jolina Jones.
Miss Jones, who has a distinguished family background, is also a great beauty. She even led Honeysuckle University to win the championship in the three-school league and became a legend in school history.
If there really is a God who created human beings, then this God must be unfair and full of preference for certain geniuses!
The girl with a high ponytail stood up gracefully, her red eyes revealed her thoughts, and she said slowly:
"From my personal point of view, the Bible wants to use this story to demonstrate the majesty of God and to show that mankind bears original sin and must go through the cleansing of the flood and God's judgment before it can be saved and reborn..."
The theology teacher showed appreciation in his eyes and waved to Jolina to sit down, but he saw a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"but."
Jolina said: "All the gods in the medieval era fell in the [Doomsday]."
For Jolina, instead of placing expectations on God, it is better to place expectations on herself.
"God is dead." Jolina said calmly, "Only human beings are their own arks."
The room was silent, and the students stared blankly at Jolina. Her words were full of offense and disrespect, and contained some stubborn philosophy of life.
The theology teacher stared at Jolina for a long time, then took the lead in applauding and smiled:
"Very well, please sit down."
Amid uneven applause, the girl with a high ponytail took her seat. Most of the girls showed infatuated expressions. The boys looked thoughtful, considering Jolina's persuasive fifth-level strength.
God is indeed dead, but he may still come back to this world.
And compared to the believers who are eagerly anticipating His arrival, He may turn his attention more to human beings who are as stubborn as weeds.
The 'Eye of Horus' that Jolina unexpectedly obtained is the best proof.
After class, the students walked down the stone steps. Jolina's profile was tall and delicate, and her high ponytail swayed slightly.
The braided girl Carlo walked beside her carrying her schoolbag and said with a smile: "If there really is a Noah's Ark, God will definitely choose Jolina!"
Jolina hesitated for a moment and said, "That's not what I meant by what I said."
"I know."
The girl with braided braids had an expression on her face that said, "I understand completely." She nodded and said:
"There is never any savior, you can only rely on yourself!"
Jolina was slightly startled, raised a soft smile, and nodded gently.
"So." The braided girl said pitifully, "Can you lend me your notes for the class just now? I can't keep up at all!"
"I'll give it to you after training." Jolina walked to the training room.
"Why do you need to train again...wait for me!"
After unbuttoning the small suit on her chest, Jolina lowered her head and glanced at her chest, then took off her clothes to reveal her smart training clothes, and put the black and red jacket into the locker.
The light screen unexpectedly lit up with a red dot. Jolina hesitated for a moment and told herself not to have expectations for anything.
"Come to the investigation team when you have time." Lin Xiao's tone looked serious, "There may be trouble recently."
Just as Lin Xiao expected.
The Federation is ready to take action against those around it.
He and Chu Yun had already made corresponding inferences, but the information obtained from accidents allowed them to confirm the accuracy of the inferences.
This piece of information comes from Dr. Birdbill, whom I met once.
According to what he said, the Federation sent a total of five killers, including him, to carry out assassination activities. Their strength ranged from sixth level to seventh level.
The killer codenames are: "Doctor", "Cowboy", "Barbie", "Congressman", and "Colonel".
Lin Xiao didn't expect that Doctor Bird's Beak would leak such important information to him. This information was dictated by Doctor Bird's Beak when they met in the source world.
At that time, Doctor Niaozui smiled bitterly and said: "My impression is that Mr. Roman is not a person who agrees with others. I am afraid that because he has been in a high position for a long time, his way of thinking is more based on the stability of the country... Of course, I know that these are all for you.
It’s an excuse, I can only do my best... to provide you with some help."
The man in black armor folded his arms, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "I am prepared."
A trace of pain flashed in Doctor Beak's eyes: "I know your abilities and talents. Those who can destroy the devil are by no means limited to a certain country. But this is too shocking. Telling them about your strength may make you more passive.
…So, I didn’t say much at that time.”
"I'm very grateful that you can tell me this." The epee man said solemnly: "Protect yourself."
Doctor Bird's Beak sighed: "I'm just a ghost who relies on the idea of saving people to survive in the world."
"Although he is a quack doctor, if I can save you and your friends... I will feel a lot more at ease." Dr. Bird's Beak said in a bitter voice.
In this world, human beings can survive with only their spirit and consciousness. This is somewhat related to Zhulong, the 'Lord of Spirit and Matter'.
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment and then said: "About the trump cards and abilities of the other four killers..."
Doctor Bird's Beak shook his head and signaled Lin Xiao not to dig deeper: "I hope you can forgive me."
Lin Xiao nodded, stood up and left the secret compartment, her memories interrupted.
"I didn't expect them to move so quickly."
In the investigation team base, Lin Xiao explained the cause and effect to Chu Yun, Sigrid, and Qiao Linna in detail, and said in a deep voice:
"I will confront Queen Augustus tomorrow and will use this external force to break the deadlock. But tonight, it will be a difficult night. Therefore, everyone should stay in the investigation team as much as possible tonight, and I will protect everyone's safety.
"
The enemy is in the dark, and he cannot push the crystal directly like before. Drawing a circle for Tang Monk like Sun Wukong might be the best option.
Chu Yun held a cigarette between his fingers and his eyes flickered: "Roman made such a ridiculous administrative order... It's as if he was brainwashed by aliens."
Sigrid stammered: "But, maybe... it's like the old saying in Middle-earth, the trees that stand out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
"But." Jolina crossed her legs on the sofa, frowned, and said in a low voice with deep red eyes: "I'm worried that the investigation team may not be very safe..."
There was a vague uneasiness in her heart, as if someone was watching all this.
Just like, she has an indescribable dislike for Margaret... This can only be attributed to a woman's sixth sense.
"Staying in the investigation team is always the best choice at the moment."
Chu Yun stood up and said, "What do you want for dinner? Lin Xiao and I will pack it up and bring it back."
"Oh!" Dafu stretched out his little paw.
"Strawberry cake!" the little secretary became interested.
"...just vegetable salad and coffee." Jolina said.
Chu Yun nodded with a cigarette in his mouth, walked out of the room with Lin Xiao, and walked in the silent corridor.
Lin Xiao was silent. Chu Yun seemed to see what was on his mind and said, "What's wrong?"
"I'm so upset that I want to kill someone." Lin Xiao clicked her tongue.
The footsteps of the two people echoed in the corridor, and the safety passage sign at the corner kept flashing. Chu Yun said in a deep voice:
"If you really want to kill someone, I will help you do it."
Lin Xiao turned around and looked into Chu Yun's eyes, his eyes were calm.
"I just don't want you to be dragged into the same trough as them." Chu Yun said truthfully.
"I'm kidding." Lin Xiao felt helpless, "Let's go and bring food!"
It is precisely because in this chaotic and disorderly world, kind-hearted people like Brother Chu Yun are extremely rare, that I should protect him all the more.
Chu Yun nodded, walked for a moment, and then said: "Be careful of the power of demon gods. They are demon gods after all."
"I know, mother-in-law," Lin Xiao said.
The pointer moved on the wall clock and reached seven o'clock.
There was a knock on the door and then it was pushed open. Sigrid and Jolina looked over and saw the team leader standing at the door with a smile on his face.
"Just in time, you both are here." Margaret said, "Xiaomei, help me process some data. And Qingkui... you have a motorcycle, help me go to the Chengxi Police Station to get a storage device."
Sigrid hesitated a little and looked at Jolina for help.
"Hurry up." Margaret urged, "It's very important."
Sigrid came here to work, and the last thing she wanted to do was offend her boss, so she said in a hoarse voice: "Ahem...here he comes."
"What storage?" Jolina asked.
Margaret said calmly: "A storage device for information about the next demon."
Qiao Linna knew that the special agent team currently lacked information about the Demon God. She estimated that the round trip distance would be about fifteen minutes, but...
"What are you hesitating about?" Margaret asked calmly, "Also, don't you have a class tonight, why are you here with the investigation team?"
"No, it's nothing." Jolina whispered, "I'll be back soon."
Only the bright chandelier is left in the empty office. Night falls quietly outside the window, and the nightlife of this neon city is about to begin.
Queen Street, the signboard of the Song and Dance Theater is full of lights and lights, and the busy streets are full of lights. This is the most prosperous city center in Xingtu City, where people dance and sing all night long.
The cowboy put his arms around the scantily clad woman and strutted into the cabaret theater;
The congressman sat at attention in Starbucks, tapping on his tablet;
The girl was holding the doll and standing in the largest toy store in the department store, looking at the dazzling array of Barbie dolls, her eyes flashing in wonder.
Danger and demons lurk in the bustling city night.
The beautiful and tall silver-haired woman covered her mouth and yawned, walking on the street. Her hot figure made the man next to her salivate, and her lazy temperament made people eager to move.
His eyes quickly focused on this beautiful silver-haired woman.
The person who attracted so much attention last time was a handsome silver-haired guy.
"There are so many people and the noise is so loud. I really want to sleep..."
Belphegor held a bundle of linen in his arms and thought boredly:
"The human world is so boring... If it wasn't for Mammon, I might as well sleep at home."
It is strange to say that the greedy demon is greedy for human wealth, power and emotions, and yet he is so interested in human beings.
But Mammon is the demon who is best at lurking and communicating. Bewitching, deceiving, and controlling people's hearts are her best methods.
Recalling the conversation with Mammon in the cave yesterday, Belphegor looked down at the linen in his arms.
Wrapped in linen, a piece of dry bone.
According to Mammon, the power of this relic cannot even be controlled by Lucifer, and it can even be traced back to the creation era.
Mammon tried every means to mobilize a ray of breath from this withered bone.
And this breath is enough for the demon to release the eighth level realm.
Mammon's plan is to put all ordinary people and low-level card masters in the entire city into a deep sleep.
In this way, killers who can move in the city will naturally have nowhere to hide.
Belphegor gently stroked the linen in his arms, as if playing a harp, and whispered:
"After the things are done, you can go to sleep..."
The next moment, Belphegor's clear red eyes bloomed with a coquettish blue light. People around her stopped to look, and saw a circle of blue light spreading slowly around her.
The Sloth Domain is like an unfolding hemispherical barrier, covering the entire Star Map City!
The Star Map City under the hemispherical barrier fell into a strange sleep state: passers-by's eyelids became heavy and they fell to the ground with a bang; the horns stopped and several moving cars collided with each other.
The world seemed to have come to a standstill, and everyone fell asleep lazily, except for a few card masters who were wary.
"Hey, hey, what's going on? The girl I just picked up suddenly fell asleep!" the cowboy shouted on the team channel.
"It's the enemy." The congressman said solemnly: "The plan remains unchanged, we will continue to carry out operations tonight!"
On a high-rise building, the girl held a doll and looked at a speeding red motorcycle in the dead city. She chuckled and said:
"I found my target..."
In the investigation team, Margaret is sitting in the boss's chair behind the rosewood table under the magnificent oil painting, with her legs crossed, wearing a white shirt and a black suit.
Her ten fingers touched lightly, and a beautiful golden luster danced in her eyes, and her whole body was filled with an aura that was chilling to the bone.
Rather than calling her the team leader, it would be better to honor her by her true name: the Demon God of Greed, Mammon.
This drama is about to begin...
A biting cold light flashed across Margaret's eyes. She stood up and looked up at the huge oil painting behind her. The furious Nidhogg raised his head and spewed out surging black flames.
Allowing him to continue to grow, proactively providing information about the devil, all for the sake of greater greed towards Lin Xiao.
I will use the remaining demon gods as sacrifices to build a "Noah's Ark" that can survive the apocalypse.
Lin Xiao is that [Ark].
Noah's Ark that allows the chosen people to survive the apocalypse and open up a new world!
The strawberry cake fell to the ground, the coffee was accidentally spilled, Chu Yun and Lin Xiao looked grim, and saw no one in the office!
"Have you... noticed anything?" Chu Yun said dryly.
"The Demon God of Sloth." Lin Xiao whispered, "His domain covers the entire Star Map City."
"He is...eighth level?" Chu Yun said hoarsely.
Lin Xiao nodded solemnly.
Jolina and Sigrid disappeared right under their noses. They were not vigilant people. Something made them relax their vigilance. Their whereabouts must be found.
But now, there are both the Demon God of Sloth and the Killer in the city, and there are areas covering it, making it a purgatory full of dangers!
"I'm going to the city." Lin Xiao said calmly, "The large-scale lazy field is a good thing for me. I can easily distinguish between ordinary people and enemies!"
"But... you still have to face a demon god who is very likely to be at the eighth level of strength alone..." Chu Yun's face turned blue.
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Xiao's eyes were stern, and the fire in his palm ignited a dark and violent flame, revealing a heavy and domineering giant sword. The red lines on the sword's body were like an awakened dragon.
In an instant, pitch-black scale-like armor covered his body, exuding an aura as majestic as a mountain, and an indifferent voice with a metallic texture came from under the black gold helmet.
"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to come will be crushed to pieces."
