The setting sun gradually entered the sea, and the red clouds in the distance filled the sky.

The neatly stacked gold bars looked brighter in the dimly lit room.

Thiago and Pedro sat on the old sofa with holes, clenched their fists and propped their chins, and their straight eyes seemed to fall on the gold bars and the sunset outside the window.

The afterglow plated a layer of blush like chicken blood on the faces of the two who were sitting still like sculptures.

"Tiago, what should we...what should we do?"

Pedro's voice was still dry, and a series of events today shattered his worldview.

The end of mankind, the invasion of monsters, this should have been the content of Hollywood special effects blockbusters, but now some people say that all this is about to happen.

But the two of them couldn't say "you fart", because the other party is obviously not an ordinary person, and they don't make a special trip to deceive them.

That's why they are so hard to accept.

What's wrong with this world?

In the face of Pedro's inquiry, Thiago did not speak, obviously full of entanglement in his heart.

From purely rational logic, if human beings are about to face a disaster, they must give priority to solving the disaster, otherwise everything will be 20% off, not to mention saving their own country.

But the real world is not an ideal model. There will always be other factors, doubts, hesitations, situations... It is difficult for people to fully earn it.

For example, as the founder and spiritual leader of the de Janeiro vigilantes, if Thiago suddenly wants to join the organization that the mysterious man belongs to, what should he do with a bunch of old brothers?

Join together? Whether people want to or not or not.

It's almost like a tangle of threads that are played with by cats.

...

Layer after layer of waves crashed against the beaches of Copacabana.

In the wet sea breeze, in the dim orange-red afterglow, people in swimsuits held life buoys and went back in twos and threes with a smile.

Another child begged his family to wait and let him and his friends play volleyball for a while.

Tang You and Rachel walked together on the beach, leaving a trail of footprints.

Rachel's half-length hair, one-third shaved and two-thirds hanging to the left, is blowing in the sea breeze:

"President, you said... will they join?"

Hearing this, Tang You didn't answer, but put his hands behind his back at will, like a traveler looking at the scenery, and asked softly:

"I can feel that you actually care about them very much. You don't want them to offend me, and you don't want them to lose this opportunity. Can you tell me why?"

Rachel lowered her head slightly and raised her head just after a while, with a sigh in her eyes:

"Actually, my hometown, Mexico, is very similar to the football kingdom. The same is full of gangsters, and the same drug dealers are everywhere. It's just... we are worse there."

"When I first went out to university and saw the outside world, I also had the idea of ​​changing my country and changed my major for it."

Speaking of which, the wheat-skinned girl smiled involuntarily and turned her head to look at Tang You: "President, do you know what major I am studying in college?"

Tang You thought that although this girl is a boxer, but the other party said so, obviously it will not be a related major, and looking at the configuration of the Albert expedition, it seems that there is a lack of a team doctor, so he guessed:

"medicine?"

Rachel smiled even happier, as if the great president in her mind couldn't do things, and she felt that the distance was getting closer and it became more real:

"It's international relations, minor in law, double master's degree."

She was clearly smiling, but after she finished speaking, her expression became lonely, looking at the sea that was gradually darkening due to the sinking sun, with a kind of sadness in her eyes.

Tang You really did not expect that Rachel, a girl with a strong focus on force, was actually the most educated of all the members of the Aegis.

Even a strong woman like Li Ranna only has a master's degree.

"After graduating from college, I returned to Mexico, first entered the public sector to train myself, and planned to participate in the election."

"I joined the like-minded sect and set a goal for myself to become a senior leader of a state within ten years and eradicate the disease."

"In fact, in my last public career, the sectarian I assisted was successfully elected mayor of Temisco."

With recollection, Rachel recounted her violent past experiences, but soon, her tone changed sharply:

"However, 12 hours after she was inaugurated, her car was blown to smithereens because of the public announcement of a drug ban."

"I assisted another person again. He also became the mayor of the mayor. After declaring the ban on drugs, he persisted for a week, escaped multiple assassinations, and was finally shot and killed by a drug dealer on the way to pick up his daughter."

Having said that, Rachel's eyes were closed, and she took a deep breath before opening them.

"The death of the two closest comrades in arms completely broke me. I found it painfully that, after making so much effort, I might as well just rush into the drug dealer's den and knock down the maggot-like leader with one punch."

"I am cowardly... I chose to give up, follow my former alumni, and search the world for historical sites, thinking that I can forget the ideal that I abandoned."

The sun has completely subsided into the sea, and there is only a ray of light left between the sky and the earth. Flocks of seagulls fly by, and the quiet darkness gradually covers the earth.

Turning her head to look, Rachel had turned into a shadowy outline in this dim darkness, blurred, only a pair of eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Maybe it's the same illness... Thiago and the others are stronger than me, so I don't want them to miss this opportunity."

Facing Rachel's bright eyes, Tang You tilted his head to look at Monte Cristo in the distance.

The statue of Christ that has been lit up with open arms is facing the beach, high-rise buildings and private residences that stretch for more than ten kilometers, and behind the statue, there are slums all over the mountains.

Tang You remembered the phrase "Xiaodouzi" in the movie "City of God": "I believe in God, not because of his omnipotence, but because of his absence."

Having seen the materials of Thiago and the others, and listening to Rachel's experience, thinking of this sentence again at this moment makes Tang You's long-standing but unsystematic beliefs converge at this moment.

His whole person is suddenly enlightened, and the essence of his soul is growing rapidly. Perhaps there will be a small breakthrough in the near future.

"There has never been a savior, nor an immortal emperor."

"To create the happiness of mankind, it is all up to us!"

The world-famous lyrics reverberated in his mind.

The world is so mysterious, Tang You has changed the beliefs and lives of the members of the Aegis, and these members of the Aegis are also making his beliefs stronger!

Rachel saw that the silent shadow of the president was like the Andes Mountains that stood forever, quiet and distant.

She suddenly realized that she and the others have only lived for twenty or thirty years, and there are already so many unbearable things. What is in the heart of the ancient extraordinary who has experienced the changes of time like the president?

Thinking of this, Rachel suddenly felt moved and sad.

When the members of the Divine Shield encounter problems, they always think of the president, but when the president encounters a problem, who should he ask for help?

Carrying the hope of human beings and shouldering the heavy responsibility of entrusting the sky, when facing the dusk like this, what kind of pressure is there in his lonely back?

Even so, the president still treats everyone so peacefully...

Rachel suddenly felt a strong self-blame in her heart. For a great cause like saving mankind, she and others still didn't work hard enough, so she had to work hard for it!

Just when she was thinking about it, Tang You smiled lightly: "They will come, because they are that kind of people."

Just then, Rachel's phone rang...
