Pretend To Be a Boss

  Chapter 303 The violent trial knight

   Thirty-Nine Fortress. the third floor.

  After his former comrade-in-arms died due to the three-headed dog, Jiang Ming never chose to recruit new hunters.

  Nowadays, the job of hunter is becoming more and more difficult to do. Because of the existence of Judgment Knights, many hunters gave up being hunters and chose to join Judgment Knights instead.

   There are not too many such hunters, but they are not too few either. Most of them had never participated in the Battle of Jopela Plain, that is, they had never been in contact with Song Que.

  Jiang Ming remembers his old friends on the one hand, and on the other hand, he really can't find a few good-tempered among the newcomers.

  He does things more traditionally and follows order.

  The appearance of the Judgment Knight, after all, has only been a few months, while the tradition of the human hunter squad has lasted for hundreds of years. So Jiang Ming still didn't make up his mind to be a trial knight, he couldn't believe it.

   This kind of belief is nothing more than simple belief, and has nothing to do with Song Que. Jiang Ming didn't want to comment too much on Song Que, especially since Song Que and Tang Xian were very close.

  He thinks he has no friendship with Tang Xian, but in retrospect, Tang Xian has at least taught himself one truth about the initial promotion and the years of studying together - before making a conclusion about anything, there must be enough evidence.

   Due to various considerations, Jiang Ming is now a lone ranger. His natural ability is not strong, but fortunately, he is also a position within the system, so it is not a problem to support himself.

   These days, Jiang Ming and his wife Yang Xiaoru live in his wife's natal home. His parents have passed away long ago, so things like Chinese New Year are spent at his natal home.

  In my natal family, there is a brother-in-law who became a trial knight two months ago and is now responsible for guarding the family.

  Jiang Ming is very disturbed these days because this brother-in-law is very strange.

  Three days ago, Jiang Ming and the Knight of Judgment walked side by side, and the Knight of Judgment was standing guard on a routine basis. Jiang Ming came to the side, and said in the spirit of connecting feelings:

   "Do you smoke or not?"

  The trial knight did not speak.

   "What's going on? Don't you remember me?" Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Jiang Ming said again.

  But the trial knight still didn't speak, still standing like a statue.

   Patted its bronze shell, Jiang Ming said:

"Can you take off this body? Although it is a technology left by God, you will have to marry a wife in the future, right? You can't wear this body to the bridal chamber?" Jiang Ming thought that maybe he was too serious on weekdays , then changed a joke rhetoric.

   But the other party still didn't respond.

  Jiang Ming was stunned for a while, then shook his head, thinking that he didn't like this little brother-in-law?

  He didn't know that the emotional control of the trial knight was in the hands of Constantine, and now Constantine shared this authority with Li Wanye on the grounds of saving management time.

   Most of the time, these Judgment Knights are emotionless machines.

   Their consciousness is trapped in the Kingdom of God.

  Jiang Ming felt bored, so he went back and talked to his mother-in-law, asking if this brother-in-law had always been like this, or if he had done something that his brother-in-law was unhappy about. The mother-in-law explained that this was a military regulation, and the brother-in-law hardly spoke until a certain time.

  Jiang Ming frowned, he was just messing around with this system, which military has such a **** rule that they have to make a fuss about Chinese New Year holidays, and they are not allowed to talk during the day?

  There is a weirdness here that Jiang Ming can't describe.

  He is a pretty guy, once he feels something is wrong, he has to check everything out.

  So Jiang Ming spent the next few days talking to his brother-in-law during the day, but he didn't see him talking to him.

  At a certain time in the afternoon, between four o'clock and five o'clock, the trial knight spoke. The voice was an unpleasant mechanically synthesized voice. There was no emotional ups and downs. He just simply greeted the family.

  Jiang Ming exchanged greetings with it, but it still didn't respond to it very much, but occasionally replied.

   It wasn't until after five o'clock that the Judgment Knight entered the "defense" state again. No matter what Jiang Ming called, it ignored it.

  Jiang Ming could feel that during that "active" hour, this machine-like big man was indeed conscious and thinking. But for some reason, he always felt that his brother-in-law, who had honorably dedicated himself to judging knights, had no affection for this family.

   In the rest of the time, Jiang Ming felt that this was simply a machine. There is no breath of life.

  He was taken aback by the thought.

   That night Jiang Ming tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

  This brother-in-law has no relationship with him, but after all, he is from his daughter-in-law's family. His wife cares about him and has talked about it many times.

   Said that this child is very filial and treats his family very well. Especially for me, whenever I was bullied when I was a child, my younger brother would try his best to get justice for him.

  Sometimes she even felt that her younger brother was like a patron saint of herself, and she would not allow her sister to suffer any grievances.

  Jiang Ming's feeling is not the same.

Since Judgment Knights spoke, people have basically eliminated their views on Judgment Knights. These warriors in bronze armor are usually reticent, and it is difficult for people to be suspicious. After all, Judgment Knights themselves give people a kind of Silent security.

   And whenever it was time for the Judgment Knights to be active, they could indeed call their relatives and friends by name, and they could indeed talk about memories of the year, even some extremely private memories, so people did not doubt it.

   It's just that Jiang Ming still feels that something is wrong.

   After all, he fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up, it was almost noon.

   "You're awake. Brother-in-law." Jiang Ming was taken aback.

   That ugly electronically synthesized voice is obviously his brother-in-law.

   This greeting made Jiang Ming wonder, isn't it time?

   "Today—you spoke earlier."

   "I want to go back to the Kingdom of God... No, I will accompany you."

  Jiang Ming frowned slightly. Why is this brother-in-law in bronze armor speaking so awkwardly?

  Where is the Kingdom of God?

  Is this a slip of the tongue?

  Jiang Ming didn't know one thing.

  In twenty-four hours a day, twenty-three hours these trial knights live in the beautiful kingdom of God.

   And during that one hour, returning to reality will make these "souls" who once longed for beauty and obtained beauty in the kingdom of God feel a great contrast.

  If dreams are longer than reality, which one is more suitable for reality?

  What used to be a one-hour reality, now—is the whole reality.

   Judgment Knight z950512, Jiang Ming's brother-in-law, married his sister in the Kingdom of God. In that place, he lived happily with his "childhood sweetheart" wife every day.

   And reality? The reality is very cruel. The elder sister who had been guarding since childhood actually married someone else.

   Fortunately, reality is false, and everything in the Kingdom of God is real.

  The world in consciousness is in the Kingdom of God most of the time, only for that one hour, it is in this false reality.

   As long as everyone believes in the Knight of Judgment, he can leave. After the new year is over, my own consciousness can live happily with my sister in the Kingdom of God every day.

   That's the real world!

  But today, it suddenly discovered that everything has changed.

   Is the time advanced?

The self who was supposed to be in the Kingdom of God returned to this false reality ahead of time—watching with my own eyes my sister covering the unpleasant brother-in-law with a quilt in the morning, and hearing with my own ears the various things my sister revealed when she talked about another man. A look of joy and pride.

   "Go back, let me go back, let me go back!"

  It kept chanting these words in its heart, thinking that God must have neglected it, or was it God’s special arrangement?

  Maybe it's just a change of time to go to this not-so-good dream?

  It thought so, but one noon passed. Then when Jiang Ming woke up, he heard the words that came out of his mouth accidentally - I want to go back to the Kingdom of God.

  That is the truest place in the heart of this trial knight.

   Not everyone has the perseverance of Constantine and Tang Xian, able to distinguish reality from dreams.

  Even if some people can tell the difference at first, when the dream is too good, they don't want to wake up again.

  This kind of emotion that conflicts with reality will continue to amplify to the point of self-suggestion, forming a reversal of reality and dreams.

  …

  …

  Jiang Ming's inner doubts became more and more serious.

   For the next few days, the strange "no talking" rule seemed to have never existed, but whenever the older sister asked the younger brother, the younger brother would answer.

   And when I asked this brother-in-law, I got a cold stare.

  Although the expression of the trial knight was frozen, Jiang Ming could feel this undisguised hostility. Not only did I feel it, but my wife felt it too.

   Yang Xiaoru would sometimes tell her younger brother to be nicer to your brother-in-law.

   But in exchange for the same cold answer.

  So in the past few days, Jiang Ming found that his wife was very sad. Probably the sibling relationship suddenly dropped to freezing point.

   And Jiang Ming also found that his brother-in-law's temper seemed to be getting more and more irritable.

   "When will this **** dream end? Let me go back to the Kingdom of God, that is the real world." Jiang Ming heard this sentence twice.

  When he heard it for the first time, Jiang Ming thought that his brother-in-law was in some kind of confusion, but when he heard it for the second time, Jiang Ming was convinced that all this was not a slip of the tongue or confusion.

   But in my brother-in-law's cognition, there is indeed a place called the Kingdom of God.

  Jiang Ming did not tell his wife about these things.

   Instead, I opened the Internet, entered the forum and began to look up some information.

   There are a total of 280,000 search terms with the keyword being the Kingdom of God! However, the entries that appeared recently were basically related to trial knights. Jiang Ming was greatly shocked by the posts in some forums.

   "I don't know why, my husband talks more these days than before."

   "My son is also, he used to join the Judgment Knight and was a man of few words, but these days he talks a lot, but—"

   "Talking a lot? Probably, but I feel that he is very irritable. My best friend became a trial knight three months ago. I went to the battlefield with him, but now I feel like he is annoying me."

   "Do you know the Kingdom of God? My brother has been talking about going back to the Kingdom of God these days."

   "Surprised, I heard it too, I thought I heard it wrong, but indeed my children are also talking about the Kingdom of God."

   "What is the Kingdom of God?"

  What is the Kingdom of God?

  Where is the Kingdom of God?

  Both of these questions pop up almost after a series of recent anomalous discussions about the Knights of Judgment.

  Jiang Ming was finally convinced that it wasn't his brother-in-law who was abnormal, but all the trial knights had fallen into an abnormal state.

  Jiang Ming calmed down and began to think about what to do.

   "If there is a kingdom of God, then if you want to know where the kingdom of God is, you can only ask people who have been to the kingdom of God."

   Another day passed. For the first time, Jiang Ming discovered that his wife was crying. The reason was that he had been very harmonious since childhood, and even his younger brother who was too harmonious yelled at her today.

  The new year has not yet come, but the atmosphere of the family has become very strange.

  Jiang Ming could feel that the Kingdom of God is to these people what drugs are to addicts.

   They have started to get more and more irritable.

  Some family conflicts on the forum started to escalate slowly just like my own.

   "How long will I have to sleep in this nightmare? When will I wake up?" Jiang Ming heard such a sentence when he saw his brother-in-law,

  He no longer hid his curiosity, but asked:

   "Where is the Kingdom of God you are talking about? As far as I know, this place does not exist, and you have never left Fortress Thirty-Nine. Could it be a dream?"

  What Jiang Ming didn't expect was that such a sentence seemed to irritate his brother-in-law.

  It furiously said:

   "You are a fictitious, false existence, how dare you say that the Kingdom of God is fake?"

  At that moment, Jiang Ming even felt that some kind of death ray would be emitted from the eyes of his brother-in-law, which would make all beasts fear.

  His breathing became rapid, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

   It wasn't until a long time later that the Judgment Knight, who was so unfamiliar to Jiang Ming, finally calmed down. It still said in that cold tone without any emotion:

  "The Kingdom of God does not allow you to be slandered by such a fictional thing. You and everything now are just God's test for me."

   After finishing speaking, the judge knight left. I don't know where to go.

  Jiang Ming's heart was in turmoil, and an unprecedented sense of fear struck him.

  If only his brother-in-law was like this, he wouldn't feel anything.

  But now, in more than 200 fortresses, all the trial knights who come into contact with people and are active at the civilian level are like this.

  This is a worldwide problem.

  There are more and more searches about the Kingdom of God.

  Jiang Ming has always kept all this under wraps, so as not to worry his wife too much, but he also knows that there may be reports from all over the world in the near future.

  For some reason, he suddenly thought of Tang Xian and Song Que.

   These two people were the first to criticize the Knights of Judgment, maybe they only knew the real secret of the Knights of Judgment.

   Think about it carefully, didn't the previous trial knights have no emotions?

   What the **** is going on with all this?

   Could it be that their emotions, or thinking, souls, have been imprisoned in that place called the Kingdom of God?

  Jiang Ming's hands couldn't stop shaking.

  At this moment, he was standing outside the house, and there were people coming and going on the street. He looked at the huge ceiling above his head, and thought about the increasingly irritable temperament of the trial knights. He suddenly felt—

   An unprecedented great turmoil is about to strike.
