From star abyss

Li Ozi glanced at him.

Barnum was driving and couldn't make gestures easily, so he could only say vaguely: "I mean, isn't it right for men to protect women..."

"Women of the old days were far more courageous and proud than the decadent youths of modern times."

Li Ozi criticized:

"Moreover, she is an independent and strong woman. I believe she can get out of the gloom on her own, and so can you. Don't look down on people just because of their gender."

Barnum wanted to refute this statement, but when he thought of Li Ozi's origin, he stopped arguing.

Rather, it would be better to say that the man in front of him was kicked out by a frosty woman, but he could still maintain a normal concept of equal rights. Li Aozi's structure and ideological level were much higher than him.

Li Ozi does not try to teach too much. Barnum is a late bloomer. [Architect] is the only designated eldest brother in the [Fine Art] series'Devil Sheng Rack'. One of the core knowledge is philosophical thought, and his level is not enough. , don’t even think about being an [architect].

No one can help with this. Barnum can only rely on his own accumulation and experience, broaden his horizons, and then continue to accumulate, reflect, and gain insights.

That's what he said, but when Li Ozi saw the 'bride' in the back row looking out the window in a daze, trying to find traces of the same era as her, for some reason, Qiu Ran's figure appeared in his mind.

He never understood why Qiu Ran wanted to die. She could be rescued if she just waited a little longer, but she set herself on fire without hesitation and stepped into the fire of the puppet.

But now, Li Ozi understands something.

For Qiu Ran, maybe there is something that is indeed more terrifying than death, just like Miss Alexia is so lost at the moment.

Li Ozi knew that her home and her faith were killed.

She could no longer find the meaning of her existence.

In a sense, Alexia is already a dead person, but in Li Ozi's impression, she should not be such a person. He believes that this girl from five hundred years ago can stand up by her own will.

However, until they returned to the abandoned factory, [Convict Judge] Alexia did not speak a word along the way.

The hover car drove into the factory and stopped slowly. Leo Ozi and Barnum got out of the car. Alexia was like a stiff corpse, slumped in the back seat, losing her soul and life, her eyes broken. , making people almost afraid to look at her.

She was tall and tall, only half a head lower than Li Ozi, but now she was afraid of being caught by reality. When Li Ozi opened the car door, she turned her head away and curled up into a ball, weaker than a newborn baby or a dying old man.

For a while, Li Aozi even began to doubt whether the things mentioned in the previous post were true, or whether it was just a marketing account, using eye-catching and sensational copy to gain traffic.

Could such a weak woman really be the strong and brave judge they had seen?

"David Lean, are you crazy?! We are all allies now, but you want to provoke internal strife!"

Li Ozi and Barnum turned their heads. In the factory, people gathered around their respective groups, holding weapons and confronting each other with their respective leaders.

The woman who raised the question was a strongman from the Citizen Armed Forces, named Amanda Williams. She had long curly hair tied into pigtails like a gypsy. The person she was accusing was the leader of the Sons of Fire Cult, David. ·Lean, a nagging old man, with his eyes closed and his eyelids painted with orange fluorescent paint, it looked like he had a pair of burning eyes.

"Amanda, your subordinate, disrespected our faith first, hand him over, otherwise Aleazar's wrath will swallow up the whole world."

David Lean's speech was like beating a drum, dull and a bit too stepped. He held an exquisite human bone instrument in one hand and made various gestures with the other. His voice was stern and emphasized the weirdness, which made people involuntarily feel scared.

"Fuck you," a young man in the citizen armed forces said angrily: "You sacrifice the bodies of the dead to the gods. What serious gods can see this!"

The young man's accusation did not bring the expected indignation. Instead, many neutrals criticized:

"Adam, you are so rude. Son of Fire is a big church, how can you say that."

"That's right, people have the freedom of their own beliefs. No matter what, we are now brothers in the trenches."

"Haha, if you don't believe in God, you will be burned to death by fire sooner or later."

The members of the citizens' armed forces are basically people who have attended compulsory education for several years and have broken down superstitions. However, not all of the rebels standing here are from the city.

Some people come from rural areas, some work as prostitutes in other places, and many are even unemployed vagrants and farmers. For them, the existence of gods is like cheap alcohol, which can temporarily alleviate their dissatisfaction in reality.

"……church?"

Li Ozi was startled. He turned his head, and Alexia beside him suddenly said something.

The Sons of Fire Cult has deep roots in rural areas, and many people stand against Adam. This is also because they were able to gather such a large resistance alliance this time, and also because the Sons of Fire Cult gathered many believers and mobilized manpower to operate.

Although everyone sees the ignorance and backwardness of the Sons of Fire religion in their eyes, relying on their power at this moment, they have no choice but to turn a blind eye. The young Adam does not know the importance, does not understand the world, and only relies on his passion and justice. , seeing that the Sons of Fire believers began to use the corpses of dead people again to sacrifice to the gods, they stepped forward angrily and kicked over the brazier, disrupting the sacrifice.

After hearing the whole story, Amanda felt in a dilemma for a while.

On the one hand, she really doesn't like the crazy behavior of the Sons of Fire Cult. On the other hand, if the Sons of Fire Cult is dissatisfied and takes people away, the strength of the entire team will be greatly reduced, and the cause of resisting the Grand Duke will naturally be out of the question.

It happened that the leader of the citizen armed forces left for something, and the decision-making of the entire faction fell on her. She had no choice but to turn her head and said tactfully: "Adam, you go and apologize."

These words hit Adam's soul like a thunderbolt. He looked in disbelief at the leader he trusted and the companion who pushed him from behind and licked his lips, signaling for him to apologize.

"I do not understand!"

Adam said:

"If we are not for justice and resisting the colonial rule, then why are we gathering here? How will the world see us if such a group of monsters who worship evil gods are allowed to appear on the political stage? How will the citizens see us?"

Alexia raised her head and murmured:

"Colonists?"

"Compatriots, at this time, isn't our country's independence the most important thing? Some people are starving on the roadside and under bridges. Some people throw delicacies into the trash cans every day. Under this sunless sky, some people want to He was freezing to death, but someone installed a refrigeration and air conditioner in his home!”

Alexia clenched her fists and stood up straight.

"Unjust...oppression..."

She looked across the sea of ​​people, pricked up her ears, and took in all Adam's helpless cries.

"Compatriots, we have less than 50 million citizens, but we feed 600 million people in Shuangping. Our milk feeds Shuangping's warriors fat and strong, and in turn oppresses us. Who else can Haven't you suffered from the frost?! How many of your daughters have been harmed by the frost soldiers in the garrison? They are sucking our blood, and the church sacrifices the corpses of our soldiers to non-existent gods - that and the colonists What's the difference? They're both bastard vampires."

"heresy!"
