Darkness is Coming

Phil, like most New Yorkers, lives in this cosmopolitan metropolis that is tolerant of all kinds of things, but he spends most of his time in the peaceful world of normal people, not even the street gunfights and racing cars that are common in police and gangster movies. I have seen it, and I will not have any entanglement with the cult that promotes cannibalistic evolution.

   So Phil had never seen the dark color of New York's underground world. It was not until the press conference that shocked the world after the Los Angeles battle that Phil learned that there are such monsters in the world, and there are far more of them than he thought.

But this had almost no impact on Phil's life. Except for one more topic in his life, and the fact that he did not dare to walk alone into a lonely street at night, the world with mutants was exactly the same as the previous world, without any Change - at least Phil's world is like that.

But now, Phil knows that the world has been very different a long time ago, earth-shaking changes are happening silently, but the people at the bottom who have limited information channels like himself are unaware, until one day quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, people will panic. He found that the world he was familiar with collapsed and disintegrated in an instant.

   I haven't seen how the world has changed little by little outside of my sight. I only feel that the world has changed dramatically when I regain my senses. Most people who are not mentally prepared will be confused, such as Phil himself.

   "My God, how long did it take for the mutants to enter the United States, a week, two weeks? In short, less than a month? Why does such a crazy thing happen in such a short period of time, doesn't the NYPD know?"

"Hey, as I said, there are many new faces here every day. The 'club' has neither a strict membership system nor is it deeply hidden in a corner, it appears here generously, attracting people from all over the world. If the NYPD really doesn't know about the existence of the 'club', then all their informants should find a high-rise building and jump off." Juliana sneered when she talked about the police department, obviously not to the New Yorkers' violent law enforcement agencies Keep an eye on it.

   "Since you know, why don't you manage it?"

   "The Saints are not human beings, nor are they citizens of the United States. The New York Police Department doesn't care about the lives of the Saints. If you don't believe me, among my regular customers, there are several senior police detectives and superintendents of the New York Police Department."

   "Then what about the leaders of your holy clan, are you also ignoring these things? Let you die by yourself?"

"You mean the temple? Hehe, the saints and bishops are busy fighting against the anti-holy elements in the human race, but they don't have time to care about our lives. We disobedient and defective products are worse than the discarded waste. So it can continue to exist only because we have not violated the Holy Law, and because the Holy Envoy and the Bishop are happy to see us mingle with humanity—even in this way.”

   "Have you not thought about resisting?"

"In the face of the absolute power of the Temple, the individual's will is as small as sand, and resistance is a dead end. Besides, why resist?" Juliana pointed to herself with her long fingers and said, "Look at me, if there is no such thing as this A job, I can only support it with a fixed quota like other inferior saints, and suffer day after day, until one day I finally can't stand the temptation of food, violate the holy law and be eliminated, or one day, Conflict broke out and then died at the hands of anti-Holy elements. But now, I can live safely, earn enough dollars to buy the goods I need without leaving home, and the more I eat, the more I evolve , so it becomes more popular and earns more. With such a good thing, why resist?"

  “…”

   "That's why I chose this job. As for the expression on my face and the emotions I showed, is it true or false, guess what?"

  “…”

"Why don't you talk? Am I boring you?" Juliana pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "Okay, let me tell you, in fact, the saints may also have emotions that humans have, the spiritual leader of the temple. , the first saint 'Bai' is a saint with rich feelings. His many clones can chat and laugh with many politicians and rich people in human beings, and even be cited as a confidant by elites from various fields. Oh, let me tell you a secret Bar?"

  “…”

"The brain tissue of Lord Saint White can continue to split. Every once in a while, the Archbishop of the Temple will select a group of devout saints for baptism and implant them with the brain tissue of Lord Saint White, so that they can generate and understand Complex emotions have evolved into a more complete higher life-according to the temple, this is the will of the Lord of Evolution, the Lord Saint White." Juliana said with a hint of sarcasm, "Of course, believers like me. Poor people who are not pious enough, talented enough, and not outstanding enough, will never set foot on the altar to be baptized by the archbishop."

   "Then, you?" Phil wanted to ask why Juliana had emotions that she shouldn't have, but it sounded like this might be Juliana's secret. The more he knew, the less safe he would be.

But Juliana saw Phil's thoughts, and answered without hesitation: "It should be an accident that I have feelings, don't be surprised, this universe is full of all kinds of accidents, if there were not a few small Unexpectedly, mammals will not appear, and there will be no humans and holy races."

"You know, my appointments are usually four hour rounds, with an hour in between to cleanse and prepare for the next guest, but most of the guests have never played with such a perfect body, so they usually point to how long it can last. Minutes, or ten minutes, even if you rely on drugs to help increase the time and frequency, it is far from using the four hours of service time.”

"But the rule of Pink Paradise is to make a four-hour round of appointments, and this rule has its own purpose. Guests spend a lot of money on four-hour service time, and of course they don't want to get up and leave after a hurry, wasting the rest. In the following time, the guests often make various requests, such as making me look like someone, to accompany them to do certain things, such as dining, reading books, watching movies, etc., through In this way, the guests can realize their dreams, not only to satisfy their sensual fantasies, but also to provide spiritual comfort, so they will never forget me and linger in Pink Paradise.”

"In order to provide better service and earn more dollars, I started learning so I could have something to say to my clients, I started listening hard, trying to feel and understand their emotions in order to act the way they needed to be. "

   "Over time, I have gradually been able to understand the emotions of the guests, and I have also had some strange feelings that I have never had before, that is, feelings."

  Juliana poked Phil's chest lightly with her fingers, then grabbed Phil by the collar and pulled him in front of her, blowing against his ear.

   "Hey, do you believe my story?"
