Wright opened his arms exaggeratedly.
"Ah! That vast 'shadow night'!"
"It's the sky! It's a dream!"
"It swallowed up the eternal night! It cut off the sea of fog!"
"It carries the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of millions of lives!"
"It is the manifestation of God's authority! It is - the miracle itself!"
"That's very awkward, Mr. Sally. That aside is more elegantly worded than yours in any opera I ever heard."
"I didn't mean to take it too seriously." Wright straightened his collar angrily. "Anyway, I've said everything I need to say. Whether you believe it or not, the choice is yours."
Again.
This familiar headache...
He is best at creating problems and then letting others choose, but why am I the one who gets unlucky every time?
With her brows furrowed, Tilan couldn't really say that she just didn't believe it.
Because many things have signs.
It’s not that...she really listened to the "wild history theory" preached by a drunkard on the street. It’s not like that.
Shadow night, shadow night.
Almost at the same time when Lett-Sally said this new word, her mind emerged the day when she had nothing to do and went to the church to pray, and the strange blessings from the priest.
"Your sins will be forgiven. May the sun shine upon you and the shadows protect you."
"Why 'Shadow'? The glory of the Mechanical Sun is everywhere. Isn't this a conflict?"
“Behind the most brilliant light there must be the deepest darkness… Although I am not an authority, I believe that if no one takes responsibility for this darkness and no one represents it, then the glory will be devoured by the darkness sooner or later.”
"You mean the heroes who died?"
"That's natural. There are many of them that we don't even know their names. You have to admit that it is because of them walking in the shadows that we have the light we have today. This is the 'Shelter of Shadows'. Doesn't it deserve to be mentioned?"
...So it's really weird, right?
The west coast of Icarolin is not as good as the east. In the east, there is only one big country, Sara, while in the west, there are dozens of small countries crowded together. Tilan has also seen the unique religions of many regions. Generally speaking, among all kinds of sects, Sara's "Cult of the Goddess of Machinery and the Sun" is the most authentic.
Don’t worry about whether they are competent or not, or why they are always negligent in preaching. At least they won’t modify the doctrines and scriptures every other day, causing the goddess to have a husband last year and a “priest” this year.
Right... At least once something is decided, it won't be changed, which gives people a sense of seriousness and reliability. If you have compared this thing with other "wild religions", how can you say it is not authentic?
However, it is this Xieyang Cult that should have... should definitely have... added new interpretations to its doctrines.
That's "Shadow".
The unsung heroes mentioned by the old priest, the dark side of the light, the guardians with hidden identities, were added to commemorate and remember them.
Very unusual.
Speaking of unsung heroes, Chesman is one of them. Tiran heard from his father about a man named "Monier". He was a herdsman. One day, he suddenly found a cave while herding. He walked into the cave and found a stone door. An ancient demon was released by mistake. The demon wanted to eat Monier. Monier tricked the demon to the seaside and dragged it off the cliff.
So yes, there are some... Where can there not be some heroic legends? Especially for a prosperous country like Sara, why didn't they think of making such a change before?
Trying to simulate Lemuel's brain, Tilan thought that something must have changed.
Lemuel guessed that the Sun King had returned.
Light-Sally said that new gods were born from ancient relics.
Combined with the blessing of "Shadow", the concept of "Shadow Night" suddenly became more possible, making her begin to doubt whether the so-called "Shadow Night Goddess" really existed in the world.
And most importantly, it was the voice she heard when she fell into darkness, that gentle, inclusive voice that seemed to purify the filth of the body and mind just by listening to it...what she heard with her own ears was never false.
So is that really God’s grace?
The recent letter said that Lemire was taken away for quarantine. It seems that everyone who has faced the Abyss has hidden dangers. Lemire said that she would need to be treated for at least three weeks, but I was fine after only sleeping for one day and one night.
Is it because of God’s grace?
The owner of that voice, the person I didn’t have time to see, she really is... the Goddess of Shadow Night.
Noticing how Tilan's expression changed, Wright had a rough idea of what was going on.
"So do you understand? This is a task assigned by His Majesty himself. What we are going to do is very important."
"Got it..." Tilan narrowed his eyes, "Then what about the intelligence? You should also tell me the place where the group was last seen, their number, characteristics, and what weapons they carried!"
"Not urgent."
As a result, Wright changed his attitude again.
"It's not easy to get to this warm South Sea. It would be a shame if we don't stay here for a while."
I think your words about cherishing life are meant for yourself, right?
Tilan was so angry that he laughed.
Such an irresponsible hunter.
Even if he really has a relationship with the goddess, this attitude is too bad.
But it was no use. No matter how she urged or bombarded him, Wright just did what he wanted.
On the first night after arriving in Aisha Island, Tilan lay in bed without sleep all night.
She had already figured out where she was vomited out from. This tree house hotel was also opened by the Engineering Council. There was an exit for the shuttle in the basement of the hotel. It was said that some shadow was imprinted there, and those guys kept saying some difficult to understand words.
After they came out, they were given equipment, including funds and weapons. Dilan also made an exception and got a box of "Shadow Explosion Bullets", as well as the identity certificates of the two in the new kingdom, Oujin Kingdom.
I really feel like a secret agent.
Staring at the ceiling, Tilan couldn't figure out how he had "fallen" into this situation.
On the bright side, chasing after evildoers is probably similar to hunting.
It's all about tracking, tracing... and then either hunting or setting traps.
Goddess bless me.
I hope it will succeed.
The next day, Tilan went downstairs with dark circles under his eyes and saw Wright-Sally hugging a scantily clad dancer and laughing.
"..."
I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep the whole night, and you were having fun down there?
"Arles! Come here!"
As soon as he saw her, Wright waved her over.
Tilan didn't want to go, but many eyes were on her at this time. She didn't want to cause trouble, so she moved over with a gloomy face.
"Come, let me introduce you."
After she sat down, Wright's expression instantly returned to normal.
"This is Ms. Addis, with level 6 clearance from the organization."
Is it a companion?
Are you here to pass on information?
Tilan couldn't help but think that I might have misunderstood him.
Then in a blink of an eye he saw Wright put his hand into the lapel of this...Ms. Adisse.
The funniest thing is that he was also whispering, "You may not know her composition. Look at this hard chest. If someone wants to pierce her heart with a dagger, their fate will definitely not be much better than the dagger."
dong dong dong...
The hand in the lapel moved a few times, and Tilan vaguely heard the sound of fingers hitting the steel plate.
What the hell…is she a robot?
Wait, the Mechanical Kingdom?
"If you don't take your hands out of here, I'm going to shove your head up your ass."
Artis said to Wright coldly.
"just kidding."
Wright smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand.
"Now that everyone is here, can we get started?"
"I am here to tell you something under the order of Lord Luo Xin." Adise nodded, "The last place the 'Undead' appeared was No. 33, Bone Avenue."
"How many people are there?" Wright asked.
"Unknown, but no less than 7."
"Weapons situation?"
"They all have guns, but you know, the most dangerous thing about those people is not the firearms."
"There aren't many people here anyway." Wright fanned his nose. "If they're dead, they're dead. As long as we can catch them, everything will be fine."
"If you really know that person, then you can definitely imagine the consequences of doing this." Adise continued to look at him coldly, "We don't like to joke around."
"Okay... well... so the requirement is to minimize casualties."
"We must stop what we can, and we won't put the blame on you for what we can't."
"Let me confirm again - we are just here to help, right?"
"Of course, no one expects you to do anything."
"That's easy!" Wright shook hands with her, took out a few bills and stuffed them into her chest, then asked Tilan to go back upstairs.
"Are you going to take action?"
Tilan asked from behind.
so fast?
And it sounds like they are just here to "help"?
She had been thinking about how to catch and kill someone last night... So her nervousness was for nothing?
"The order here is originally maintained by the 'Robo-Private'. Why should we take on responsibilities that do not belong to us?"
Wright choked her as he packed his things.
"Go collect your bags, pack them up and we'll go downstairs to check out."
"Oh."
The room was vacated, and Adisse was gone. The two walked to the street and stopped a carriage. Wright said to the driver, "Bones Avenue," and the carriage began to bump along the road.
The road condition in this place is really bad.
Having gotten used to living in Wayne, Tilan could not stand the torture of the carriage. Coupled with the doubts in her heart, she wanted to continue the previous topic.
"The 'robot private' you mentioned is..."
"A senior bodyguard of the Engineering Association."
"Are they one of ours, too?"
"What do you mean by our people? Show some respect, buddy. They are His Majesty's people. If you dare to say anything bad about Ying Ye, I can stab you to death."
"But why can't we see these people in Wayne Port?"
"First, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Second, the Engineering Society was originally born in Aisha. Isn't it reasonable that there are more people here?"
"Place of origin?"
"The transformation factory." Wright gestured to her. "I just found out about it not long ago. It is said to be further south, in a place called Colossae Port. There is a secret place similar to Shadow City there, and their headquarters is hidden inside."
Tilan thought that the secrets really came one after another.
"Then we are not mainly responsible for arresting people?"
"We just keep an eye on them - they set the time at 2pm, when the sun is shining brightly and everyone is sleeping in the warmth. All we have to do is watch and make sure no one gets away."
"What if he runs away?"
"Send a signal and let them sort it out."
