I Like This Dream!

Precautionary stamp, replace before midnight~

If an all-seeing eye really appeared in the sky above this world, it would discover an amazing coincidence. The three most important places to Yamenan experienced huge changes at a very close time.

Alinggu, in the underground church of St. Andrew's College, the huge horned creature was surrounded by densely packed priests. Most of the high priests of Armonan are here, including the Pope himself. They have been staying in Alinggu since last winter, taking turns praying, but each time more and more people are needed. To this day, when "He" stirs up, there is no one left to wait for a shift.

Hundreds of mouths opened and closed at the same time, spitting out the same verse. The magic circle on the ground was like a poorly connected electric lamp, emitting a flickering light from time to time. The creature in the middle of the circle moved slowly, like a larva struggling out of an egg sac. The more it struggled, the uglier the priests' faces became.

The priests in the underground church chanted scriptures in unison, the apprentices in St. Andrew's College chanted scriptures in unison, and the ascetics in the ascetic monastery hidden not far away chanted scriptures in unison. The decorative gold paint of churches, seminaries, and monasteries was mixed with real gold threads, and the gold threads in these huge buildings were combined into a huge magic circle. As they chanted, the invisible light flowed along the lines of the giant array and converged into the core array of the underground church.

They said: God, God, please forgive us, thank you for giving us your Holy Blood and Holy Body, thank you for sacrificing yourself for our sins, nourishing our souls, and saving us from this sinful and hopeless age. God, God, please forgive us and make us your servants to lead the chosen people into your kingdom. Please be with us forever...

During this devout prayer, no one noticed that the eyelids of the creature in the circle were trembling, as if they were about to open their eyes.

Urburg, in the king's palace, Richard II is sleeping with his lovers. Although the queen had been cleared of suspicion, Richard II also lost interest in her and never invited her to spend the night again. Lying on the same bed with him was Lady Cynthia. Although she was no longer the favored one among the king's lovers, she understood the king's thoughts best. Recently, Lady Cynthia often brings young and beautiful omegas to Richard II's bed # , and for this reason the king always treats her favorably.

The night before was a chaotic night. One of the omegas on the big bed reached the climax. Everyone had been messing around for almost a whole night, and everyone was exhausted. Richard II slept particularly deeply, because he was surrounded by helpless Omegas, and the Royal Guards were guarding outside the house - the Captain of the Guards, Viscount William, was Lady Cynthia's brother. In order to wait for an opportunity to right his nephew, he would definitely Brace yourselves. After all, the king was getting older, and after his boastful "accomplishments", he was actually more exhausted than his lovers.

What's more, Lady Cynthia ordered spices to "add to the excitement", and the drink the king drank before the start was spiked.

People with superpowers are almost invulnerable to all poisons, but drugs that soothe the mind will not harm the body, so they will not be blocked. A naked body slid down from the big bed and stood on tiptoes like a cat to put on clothes. She is plump and charming, and she is Richard II's beloved Lady Cynthia. The female omega opened the door and bowed respectfully.

A lady with a scar under her right eye stood outside the door.

Queen Eve nodded silently to Madam Cynthia and stayed where she was, while another omega following her walked into the room. The decadent atmosphere in the room did not make this omega move an eyebrow, and his eyes only flashed a trace of hatred when he met Richard II. Mrs. Cynthia walked out at the queen's gesture. Before closing the door, she only saw the omega opening the suitcase in his hand. The lid of the wooden box was densely packed with long and short silver needles.

The doctor in the room will take good care of His Majesty.

On the Wenjialuo defense line, Anxu finally came to the point in the induction.

Before he got close enough to know what the other person was, An Xu already understood that it was not a firebird. There was no hot wind in the air, no huge momentum, and no surging beast tide. The woods in front of me were silent, maybe too quiet, not a single bird chirping.

She fell down, and the person waiting for her smiled, and his black eyes reflected An Xu's face.

An Xu was surprised, but also felt that this was reasonable. Many of his guesses were vaguely answered at this moment. Anna, the God's Favorite with light golden hair and light golden eyes, looked at Noah, the God's Favorite with black hair and black eyes across from him. They looked at each other, and for a second, it was like looking into a mirror.

"Long time no see, my little sister." Noah said.

A thread passed through countless scattered beads at this moment, connecting them as fragments of other dreams. An Xu narrowed her eyes, feeling both kindness and disgust at the same time.

"Hey, don't scream so disgustingly, who is your sister?" An Xu said with disgust, "Who are you? What do you do?"

"I thought you already knew, God's Favorite Anna Sullivan." Noah's handsome face showed a warm smile, "I am God's Favorite Noah, we have met many times."

"You're talking nonsense." An Xu said with a frown.

"That's true." Noah chuckled, "We ask others 'who are you', but what's the point of knowing a stranger's name? A name is just a name, a symbol, a title, just like a number, alone The number is meaningless, it only represents its meaning when placed in a series of numbers. People ask each other 'who are you', not to know what kind of person the other person is, but to know where the other person is."

His voice is very pleasant and suitable for preaching. Even if there is something urgent, you can't help but calm down when you hear his voice and want to hear him finish.

"People are born with their status, whose children they are, and whose brothers and sisters they are. From this point of view, we really have nothing to do with each other. You are the head of the Sullivan family, the daughter of Earl Edward and Lady Norma. I He is the spokesperson of heaven and has golden blood, he is the first-born son that the Pope dare not recognize, and he is a nephew that the king will not recognize." Noah said lightly, "But I think this is not what you want to know."

The secrets revealed by this priest were enough to shock even the knowledgeable Armenite people, but the only two people here, whether they were the narrator or the listeners, had no expressions on their faces. They really don't care about this.

"Human beings cannot live without a position. After people grow up, they have to fight for a position for themselves, such as someone's boss, someone's subordinate, someone's spouse and parents. They can make a living by The position is not fixed. For example, my father, who cannot be recognized, was promoted from bishop to pope, and I changed from the illegitimate son of the bishop to the illegitimate son of the pope. The weights and measures that people rely on for their livelihood are actually human beings themselves. Even if they are kings, no one can rule them. As a citizen, he will also be worthless." Noah said chattingly.

"So?" An Xu interrupted impatiently, "What is your role?"

"Patience, my dear sister." Noah smiled, "We have a lot to say today, so let me take my time."

"There is usually a lot to say, so shouldn't we say 'short story'?" An Xu said, not wanting to be treated as a show-off listener.

"Ah, I'm probably used to talking to myself." The other god's favored person was not annoyed at all. He smiled good-naturedly and said: "It's rare to be able to reminisce with my compatriots. It's really hard to restrain my excitement. You are just like me. I have no interest in the realm of the human world, so let’s quickly talk about the realm of God.”

He is right.

To put it bluntly, Anxu has lost interest in exploring other people in the world except Chris. Ever since Chris' last unconventional speech, Anxu's life in Yamenan seemed to have reached a bottleneck. She still enjoys life as before, but there is a barrier between her and others.

She still doesn't regard this place as the real world, and of course she can't be honest with others - or, as Chris said, she can't regard another person as her equal. Although An Xu is addicted to games, she has always been able to distinguish between reality and virtuality. The emotions she invests in virtual characters are completely different from those she invests in humans. Regardless of friendship or love, the most basic thing is to believe that the other person is a real creature with free will like yourself. I can't believe it. No matter how much I like it, it's just a light emotion of "Oh, this route is going astray. If I don't like it, load the file and start over."

However, when An Xu wants to treat others casually, "possibility" is like a hidden thorn that pops up unexpectedly to prick her. "What if it's true?" This thought always comes from the bottom of my heart, and then is suppressed by the firm "impossible". An Xu's superficial consciousness was not shaken by this, but her subconscious confusion prevented her from treating others as she pleased.

For the past six months, she has been avoiding Chris like a minefield. Chris didn't say anything about it. If she didn't call him, he wouldn't come out to disturb her, just like the person who said he loved her was not the chief knight himself. .

This kind of half-heartedness doesn't feel good.

Anxu's troubles can't be told to anyone. Her confusion is above this world. Perhaps only something in this world can answer it. She thought of strange beasts and "gods". In her opinion, gods were just existences beyond the understanding of humans here.

Noah's smile widened.

"I am Noah, favored by God, and God has given me great favor. I was seriously injured when I was young. At that time, Randolph III, who had just been promoted to Pope, used his private authority to allow me to contact God. And God chose me. ." He paused, "Just like when I gave you the opportunity to meet him later, the gods also chose you."

"How many people have you brought to meet God?" Anxu said suddenly.

Noah nodded approvingly, as if praising her for finding the key point. "A lot," he said.

"How many people were chosen?"

"How many favored ones are there?" Noah asked.

"Is the person who wasn't chosen dead?"

"Does anyone besides us claim to have seen God?"

"I don't remember seeing any gods either."

"Of course you've seen it," Noah said, "You just don't remember."

"I can make up a lot of things I don't remember." An Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually, you are my servant, you just don't remember."

Noah looked at her with a smile, as if he was really looking at an ignorant little girl.

An Xu was seen with goosebumps all over his body.

"Don't look at me like this. You are handsome, but you are not my type." She said dryly, "After talking for a long time, you still didn't answer the first question. What role did you play? Spokesperson of the Holy See ?What are you here for this time? Fight?"

"Anna, Anna, the beloved of God." He shook his head and said regretfully, "Why do you have to frame everything with secular eyes? I said that I came to reminisce with my compatriots, and that is because I wanted to reminisce with my compatriots. I did not Don’t want to lift a finger.”

"Do you want to say that you are just a charlatan?" Anxu sneered, "I remembered it. I saw you and White Bird at the border of Thebes a few years ago, and heard you again at Urburg. Let me create a special show for you, if you are just a character who doesn’t have many roles and only shows off your face, audiences all over the world will roll their eyes.”

"You are looking at the problem in a human way again." Noah laughed.

"I am a human being." An Xu rolled his eyes, "I thought my chuunibyou was serious enough, but it turns out there are people here who are more serious than me. I really can see everything if I live long enough."

"You're not, and neither are we."

"What is it if it's not a human being? God?"

"Your appetite is too big, Anna." Noah said, "We are just quasi-gods."

...Are you crazy? An Xu thought.

"As I said just now, human beings need people to define their position, whether it is the pope or the king, there are undoubtedly exceptions." Noah said, "But God does not need human definition. Even if all human beings perish, the world will no longer exist , God is also God. He is the foundation of the world... Do you know where the names of the two genders, alpha and omega, come from?"

An Xu shook his head.

"'I am Alpha and I am Omega; I am the first and I am the last; I am the beginning and I am the end.'" Noah said, "This is what the Bible says about God."

An Xu hummed, but suddenly felt something was wrong. She finished reciting the books in St. Andrew's Theological Seminary and knew exactly what was written in the Bible of Light here. I also have a vague impression of what Noah said, but... it's not the Bible here, but the Bible in reality.

She had goosebumps all over her body, and a strange premonition arose in her heart. It's like seeing a giant shadow on the ice and you know there's something swimming beneath the ice.

"It's not in the Bible, right?" Noah looked at her strange expression and laughed out loud, "No, no, no, this is the real Bible before the Dark Ages."

The black-haired priest's expression showed real fluctuations for the first time.

"The coffin of Urban I rested underground in Alinggu, and an even older Bible was buried with his body. He was the earliest favored person of God. No one dared to desecrate the body of the righteous Urban, except for the same I am favored by the gods and not kept out by the papal guards - for this I am truly grateful to my human body. Urban I himself wrote the Bible of Light, and declared any Bible that differed from his to be heretical, and was buried But he left the last one and dared not destroy it. No wonder he was so lucky but could only stop here." Noah sneered, "Even if some human beings have obtained the godhead and the favor of the gods, they are only willing to prostrate themselves in this life. To be a servant.”

"Noah," Anxu's voice was a little dry, "Was your name in the last Bible?"

"You know?" Noah glanced at her in surprise, and then said matter-of-factly, "Yes, of course you know, he is also a person favored by God. Only Noah found favor in front of God and built the ark..."

"...loaded with pairs of animals and their offspring."

"Yes, Noah the Righteous." Noah, the God-favored one with the same name, muttered, "But in my opinion, it is more appropriate to call him 'Noah the Filter'."

An Xu didn't pay attention to what he said next.

In this world, there is the Illuminati Religion, which is similar to Catholicism, and there are also sub-genders, supernatural powers and strange beasts that are very different from Anxu's world. The latter all took place in the Dark Ages. What really happened during the Dark Ages? There are very few records, covered beyond recognition by a mass of myths, legends and praise of saints. Putting aside all kinds of outdated and absurd rules, the initial difference between the Bright Bible and the Bible lies in the method of destroying the world. Not Noah and the Flood, but Urban the Righteous and a tide of strange beasts. When she first read it, Anxu thought this was the direction of the original branch of the parallel world. Now Noah told her that there was a Bible before the Dark Ages, which was exactly the same as the Bible in Anxu's world.

An Xu felt like he had thought of something, and the answer was ready to come out, but there was an unfamiliar word stuck in his throat that he couldn't get out. She regretted that she had been brainless for so many years. Her brain, which was once a little expert in solving puzzles, was not only rusty, but also hung with three layers of spider webs. An Xu couldn't think of a reason, and couldn't help but start to wonder if he was thinking too much. It was all because he read the Bible when he was awake. The subconscious mind, the cerebral cortex, and so on.

She shook her head vigorously and interjected during the gap between Noah's second speech, trying to take the initiative of the topic into her own hands. She asked: "Is holy water related to God?"

"Indeed." Noah nodded and did not continue on the topic. Anxu was silent for a while and then said: "You said that the first favored one by God was Urban I, so the so-called sharing God's grace with everyone is not completely nonsense. Through things like holy water ,Yes or no?"

God's Favorite Anna Sullivan was no longer as carefree as before, her expression became colder, and once her light golden eyes lost their rich emotions, they felt an inhuman sense of oppression. Her tone was full of confidence, and it would be more appropriate to say that she was explaining rather than asking for proof.

Faced with this expression that was not friendly by any means, Noah's smile seemed even more friendly. He smiled without saying a word and nodded again.

...Sure enough, according to (game) experience, if you want to pretend to be clichéd with a charlatan who doesn't always talk, it's best to have a cool and noble face and pretend to be smarter than the other person. An Xu thought. Whenever someone like this comes to ask for advice humbly, they will get mad at each other. It's so annoying that they can't speak directly to others, right?

"But, the God's Favorite you have recognized so far," Anna, the God's Favorite with a cold and noble look, paused, "or the Quasi-God, are there only three people you have recognized?"

"There are really only three people who are qualified to be called quasi-gods." Noah said.

"Holy water can only create superpowers. But it's not the only way, otherwise civilian superpowers would not appear." An Xu's mind was spinning faster and faster, "Holy water is just a catalyst. Different people have different opinions on it." The degree of sensitivity is different... This effect is heritable. People who are initially sensitive to holy water pass on it through genes. Nobles, that's why there are so many superpowers among the nobility. Nobles rely on fertility inheritance and secondary baptism with holy water - as expected There are more alpha awakening abilities, and gender doesn’t matter at all. It just relies on taking # drugs - the Holy See relies entirely on holy water. No wonder the quantity is high but the quality is not as good as that of the nobles... In addition, the people can also use it... …”

An Xu's jumping thoughts finally caught something.

In fact, photographic memory also has its side effects. A person who can remember how many hairs and splits there are on a number when he wakes up in the morning is destined to feel that his brain capacity is insufficient. An Xu's memory is like a huge library, with no book number or administrator. The messy information is thrown in and cannot be easily recalled.

And now, under this reminder, she remembered two key words.

Holy water, blood of the devil.

The holy water flowing out of the Holy See can be used for a second baptism, giving nobles who failed to awaken their powers a second chance. There is a crystal core extract called "Devil's Blood" circulating in the black market, which has a certain chance of giving people supernatural powers and a high fatality rate.

Anxu's flesh and blood can be used to make medicine, which can awaken people's supernatural powers, but the medicine is also unstable. Alva said that if it is not diluted enough, it will definitely lead to death.

The clues are strung together, and the answer is just a matter of seconds. An Xu opened his mouth, but his expression suddenly changed.

Another point in the induction appeared on the Wengaro defense line. Its presence was explosive and familiar, and there was no doubt that it was the firebird. However, this presence suddenly appeared at the border, only a thousand meters away from Anxu. She shouldn't have discovered it until now.

An Xu immediately figured out who was behind the scenes, and she also understood the purpose of this nonsense. Noah smiled happily under her glare. He spread his hands innocently and said, "Of course it is best to reminisce in a quiet place without being disturbed."

Therefore, please trouble your people to entertain this natural disaster of fire first.
