When they first arrived, most of the agents and ascetics followed the local index fingers to do their work, and then worked under the instructions of the messenger named [Yang].
but--
Not including them.
October inexplicably possessed the privilege of not accepting the orders of the messenger.
This level of privilege... no, it should be said to be a "strange command", which is extremely rare among the index fingers.
However, this is no big deal for the index finger.
It doesn't matter what the instruction is, all the index finger needs to do is to complete the instruction.
In any case, apart from a small amount of security work, they really have nothing to do. The October Agent has not taken the initiative to issue any additional orders until now, so they can only sit idle.
Idle time...
In order to avoid being bored, they will choose...
"Oh, it's so boring, Sigma, come and have an exciting duel with me! I will definitely beat you this time." Xu Lu was so bored that she rolled on the ground. After a while, she suddenly stood up, took out something like a scimitar from under her cloak, and then shouted at Sigma.
"This is the nineteenth time you've said this. I hope you can do better this time." Sigma, who was usually very serious and strict, was not like in the 1th time.
As strict with himself as he was in Zone 0, he naturally drew the duel disk.
Duel is also a way to understand instructions, so there is no problem.
Besides - he was really bored.
Outside the room, far away, October stood on the roof of a tall building.
The wind blew against her body, and her cloak fluttered in the wind. She opened her eyes, which was rare, and looked at this terrible world with her deep blue eyes.

The people in the nest are confused.
A few months ago, they were still the noble "Yu", able to sit by the window and watch those people in the back alley fighting madly just to survive for a few pieces of meat, using this as entertainment to relieve the pressure of work.
They live in a stable "nest" and do not need to worry about the "back alley late at night". They do not need to shiver in fear like the people in the back alley at the early morning, fearing that they will not see the sunrise the next day. They can happily heat a cup of milk and then laugh at the mud-legged people struggling with death.
Their average salary in the Nest is more than six times that of those in the Back Alley. Considering that those in the Back Alley most likely do not get any salary at all, while they have bonuses and the like, they can easily accumulate an astronomical fortune that the people in the Back Alley cannot accumulate in their entire lives.
With the protection of wings, they don't need to worry about the strange monsters in the back alleys. Even if those crazy scientists want to do human experiments, they won't die in the nest, but capture some people in the back alleys or even the suburbs to play their games.
They...were once so "happy".
And now...
Not the same.
The status they were proud of was crushed, their money was plundered, their peaceful life fell to the bottom, and a large number of scavengers appeared in the nest, collecting the lives of those unfortunate people who did not know the rules of the back alley.
They have fallen into the same miserable state as the "mud-legged peasants".
All kinds of endless tragedies happened to them.
They are in pain, they wail, they struggle - they want to go back to the past, they want to go back to the old days, they expect and hope that a new "wing" will come again and protect them.
Will this strong desire affect the instructions?
I don't know in October.
She didn't know what the [Command] was.
She will only follow the guidance of [Instructions].
She had seen too many tragedies, which caused her pain. She had thought that she had become numb and could accept these increasing tragedies, but it seemed that she had overestimated herself.
Just as she was thinking this, the sound of footsteps suddenly reached her ears. She quickly pressed on the hilt of the knife and turned to look.
What caught her eyes was a swordsman holding a huge broadsword. He was wearing a long white cloak, his eyes were closed, and his hair was silver with two black strands of messy hair.
The suit under the cloak is exactly the same as the one in October, with brass-colored metal decorations and is very neatly maintained.
The most important thing is that this person has one more shoulder strap than October.
"...Who are you?" October frowned.
"October Agent, hello... um... I finally meet you." The man's tone was gentle, but his attitude was even more respectful than October's. He closed his eyes and said nervously, "I am Yang, Yang Bismok. It's an honor... I'm glad to meet you."
"Yang... Bismok?" October was slightly stunned, and then he instantly remembered this person, "It's you?"
"Yang, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Excuse me." Shi Yue grabbed the long sword, held it lightly in front of his body, half bowed, and saluted the shorter Yang.
Although Yang, like most of the index fingers, had extremely long legs, he was quite short. A rough estimate was that he was about 1 meters tall. Compared with the tall and slender beauty Shiyue, who was 65 meters tall, he was too short. Therefore, in order to show respect, Shiyue bowed slightly when greeting him.
“I have heard that in L Nest, there was a person who became an ascetic not long after becoming a herald, and then in just less than a month, he continued to be promoted in the blink of an eye.
To have been promoted by [Command] in such a short time, you must be a very good messenger. October has great respect for you. "
Shi Yue and Yang's experiences are slightly similar. Before becoming ascetics, they were both ordinary people who simply accepted and followed orders.
But unlike October, Yang is a true genius.
In such a short time, he was able to swing a sword that was bigger than a person, and it looked effortless...
Yang's practice is definitely far beyond October!
You know, before being promoted to an agent, October had received a lot of ascetic training! That’s why he was qualified for the job of an agent!
October, who is known as a "genius" in Zone 10, is at best just a sufficiently good member of the Index Finger, while Yang is the real "genius" and the "future star" of the Index Finger!
To this day, October's agent level is still "one", while Yang, who has just become a messenger, has already reached the same level as their 10th district leader "
Alsop" is at the same level as the [Second] Level!
However, Yang did not seem very happy when he heard October's praise. Instead, he was silent for a moment with a slightly sad look, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Ah, there is no such thing..."
October didn’t offer much flattery.
She's not that kind of person.
However, she also noticed that Yang didn't seem to care much about his status, and even felt a little disgusted?
She didn't ask further, but continued, "Yang Chuanling, you came here, don't you have any instructions for me?"
Yang shook his head and said, "No... I heard that you have the power to not accept [instructions], so I guess, even if I were to deliver the instructions, you wouldn't accept them, right?"
"That's not the case." October continued to shake his head, "It's not that I don't accept orders, I'm just following them."
"What...what do you mean?" Yang frowned inexplicably, "You have the privilege of not having to accept orders. Do you know how many people in Index Finger want this power but cannot..."
Shi Yue shook her head again and restated, "No, Yang gave the order. I made it very clear. It's not that I don't accept the order, I'm just following the original order that was given to me.
If the instructions in your hand really need my processing, then I will not refuse. "
Although the [instructions] say that October can ignore the messenger's orders, if the instructions conveyed by Yang seem to October to have enough positive meaning, October will not refuse.
"This..." Yang was very puzzled. He couldn't imagine that a person who didn't need to follow orders didn't mind accepting new orders. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know that even now, there are still a large number of people who are suffering because of orders? If you can tell me how you got this order..."
"Painful because of the order... Indeed." October nodded, but then asked, "But, follow the wind and look out--"
October turned around and pointed at the endless fog.
Yang was silent for a moment.
He couldn't see what October was talking about.
“Beyond this fog, within this nest, there are billions of humans, they are the [Feathers] of the former Wings, the inhabitants of this nest.
Because of the collapse of the wing, these residents who had been living happily in peace and contentment are now suffering.
Robbery, murder, torture, countless tragedies are happening right before our eyes, the cycle of pain never stops! Right before our eyes!
Yang announced that tragedy was happening every moment, because of the index finger, because of orders, because of gangs... because of various reasons!
However, under the guidance of the instructions, we have protected many residents. We do not charge them money, we do not need them to sacrifice their lives, we only need them to obey the instructions.
In my opinion... no problem."
"This..." Yang couldn't help but clenched his fists, "But, but, if possible, the instructions can be given in a more ordinary, simpler, and easier way. Or, it would be better to have the power not to accept instructions like you do..."
"Commands know everything. Commands know everything."
October said something that all Index Finger members knew and that all Index Finger members would say.
"This... this is really ridiculous." Yang clenched his fists.
He couldn't accept this reality.
He killed his friends because of the order, and saw countless people lose their lives because of a string of words. The order tortured him and made him completely unbearable, making him... hate [order]!
He sympathized with those who were harmed by the Order, and therefore, he wanted to... resist the Order.
He wanted to find ways, even to show people how to go against instructions!
Not long ago, he heard that someone actually had the privilege of "not having to follow orders", and that person was even the agent of the orders!
He did not feel regretful because his "power" had disappeared. Instead, he was overjoyed, thinking that he had finally found a feasible method.
But... I never expected that in the end, it would be... like this.
That is not a person who disobeys orders, that is just a "madman" who follows orders even more crazily and fanatically!
He didn't want to say anything more to October, so he just vented his anger and asked October, "So what are you going to do? Are you just going to stand here and watch?"
October took a deep breath.
"After so many days, I have figured it out..."
"?"
"Commands know everything, commands know everything."
Yang didn't want to hear this kind of nonsense.
But October simply slowly pulled her left hand out from under her cloak, revealing the duel disk within, revealing a card she was clutching.
It was a sparkling card, in which a girl and an eagle lived in harmony.
Minerva, the girl of the light.
"This is?"
“This is what the most important people to me create.”
“And now, I’ve found what I’m supposed to do.”
She kept the card close to her body.
At the same time, the wind brought the result of another duel between Sigma and Xu Lu. Sigma won and Xu Lu lost again.
However, although Xu Lu lost, she threw herself on Sigma and kept pestering him to help her modify the deck, which made Sigma, who had a stern face, couldn't help but smile a little.
The other ascetics couldn't help but joke and laugh.
The laughter reached the two people on the rooftop.
Yang has heard countless laughs.
There are bloodthirsty laughter, crazy laughter, laughter of surviving a disaster, and bitter smiles when disaster strikes.
But this time, it was so strange to him, yet it seemed familiar to him...
It's not something else.
Just, an ordinary laugh.
Ordinary and ordinary.
"I want to make suffering disappear and fill this earth with smiles."
October opens.
Calm, resolute, without any hesitation.
Therefore, she will never close her eyes again because she is afraid to look at the pain.
She wants to open her eyes and witness with her own eyes the real smiles appearing in thousands of households in this world.
"Sigma!"
"Here!" Several ascetics heard October's call, immediately adjusted their attitude and responded in unison.
"End the rest, everyone follow me immediately!"
"Yes!"
