Chapter three hundred and eighty eight extravagant opponents(1/2)
It is indeed the Principle of God.
Karen couldn't help but think of Mr. Hoffen's evaluation of his own Principle Theism. He said:
For Principle believers, this world is just a game of pursuing laws and exploring the essence. This does not mean that they are simple and naive, but that they are absolutely indifferent to this world.
There was a voice coming from the sea urchin before, saying, "Anyway, today is a failure..."
Combined with that inexplicable announcement and the special relationship between the Principle God Religion and a certain God Religion, things became clear at once.
What happened in York City tonight was an experiment planned by the two orthodox theocratic religions of Order and Principle.
The entrance to the experiment is on the clay pot in the captain's hand. What do they call it...oh, honey pot.
From that jar, the true purpose of the experiment should be unearthed.
At this time, Karen sensed that not far from him, there were three energy fluctuations of the teleportation circle.
Oh, it’s really a big family and a big business.
A bright flame rose in Karen's hand, and the yellow sea urchin melted directly into juice.
Qianmei got out of Karen's body and licked Karen's palm clean with great care.
Karen shook his hand. He had already helped the captain complete the blocking mission, so there was no need to meet the captain in the photo studio. The wisest choice now was to withdraw by himself, so that the captain would not have any burden and could directly choose to escape.
.
The next moment, the wings on Karen's back appeared again, and his figure disappeared from the place.
After submerging into a block below, Karen dodged directly and entered the bedroom of a house. In the bedroom, there was a woman holding a child who was sleeping soundly. Karen's entry did not wake them up.
His fingertips touched the silver ring, and the silver mask left by his grandfather was put on Karen's face.
He didn't know if he had been marked, so to be on the safe side, he chose to wear it to ensure his "isolation."
Standing behind the curtain, Karen slightly opened a corner, and on the street below, three men and women wearing white armor appeared. They seemed confused and confused.
Obviously, they lost track of their target.
After wandering for a while, they went in different directions.
Karen turned around and walked out of the bedroom, went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. He opened the refrigerator and was slightly disappointed when he saw no ice cubes inside.
After drinking half a glass of water, he poured the rest into the sink, cleaned the glass and put it back in its place. Karen walked into a nearby bedroom. There was only a bed board but no mattress, and no men's supplies were seen in the room.
Karen took out 500 real from his pocket and put it under the bed, because he was afraid that he would forget to pay for the accommodation when he left tomorrow morning.
Lying on the bed, closing her eyes, Karen began to rest.
As soon as Karen lay down to rest, the figures of the three armored men who had left earlier appeared on the street one after another. Apparently, they had not given up the search.
…
"boom!"
Neo grabbed the armored man's neck with his left hand and dragged him hard against the wall in front of him. A long ravine was pulled out of the road behind him.
"If you are willing to surrender now, we can guarantee you preferential treatment, even if you are a remnant of the light."
"Yes, we keep our promises, you should believe in our sincerity."
Neo didn't respond at all. After suppressing the man in armor beneath him, the bright flames poured directly into the armor, burning the inside of the armor directly.
Immediately, he stood up and looked at the armor on the ground with some pain. He could tell without intuition that this armor was definitely very valuable. Unfortunately, in this situation, he could not leave with anything else.
Neo walked into the side door of the photo studio holding the clay pot, and the stairs unfolded to reveal the secret room below.
With the infusion of his power, the teleportation circle is being activated.
There was a noise from outside, as if someone was forcibly entering, but Neo did not panic at all. He believed that the restrictions outside were enough to delay the other party. After the magic circle was successfully activated, Neo walked into it.
He also deliberately waited for a while, and when the two armored men appeared, he left them a smile.
Well, although Neo doesn't know whether his face without facial features can make others understand the expression of smile, it is just a kind of self-pleasuring.
"Buzz!"
The white light dissipated and the transmission was successful.
…
I don't know why, even though he was just sleeping on a bed board, even though the air was still filled with a slightly damp and even mildewy smell, and even though he was still being searched when he fell asleep, Karen still slept very well.
Whether in terms of sleep time or sleep quality, it was a rare high-quality sleep in recent times. Perhaps this is because I slept in someone else's house.
The little girl was sitting on a chair having breakfast. She was shaking her legs excitedly while looking at the comic strip in front of her.
The girl's mother was talking on the phone nearby, her tone was a little fierce, and she was arguing with a man about support issues after divorce.
"Listen, our marriage broke down because of your cheating. You betrayed our marriage, our love, and our daughter. I don't want to hear any explanation from you. I just want to do it for myself and my daughter."
The daughter gets what she deserves.
If you cannot meet my reasonable requirements, I will go to court to sue you!
Are you saying I'm crazy?
hehe,
Who is crazy? No matter how crazy I am, I will never be like you. When I went home in the morning, I saw a strange man of the opposite sex in my house, and he looked like he had just gotten up!"
At this time, because the girl was shaking too much, the chair the girl was sitting on began to fall backwards, and the girl also fell backwards.
Karen's figure appeared behind the girl, caught her, and placed her safely on the ground. The girl asked curiously:
"Brother, who are you?"
The woman on the phone stared blankly at the strange man who appeared in her home, looking like he had just woken up, and then hung up the phone silently.
"I left the room fee under the bed. I'm sorry. I was too sleepy last night, so I stayed overnight. I'm sorry."
Karen walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and rinsed his face.
The woman looked at Karen. She felt that she should scream, but she couldn't. She felt that she should be afraid, but she couldn't find the emotion of fear, so she could only stand there blankly.
Karen took out a few pieces of paper from the table tissue box, wiped his hands, and said, "I apologize again for my recklessness. Goodbye."
After saying that, Karen opened the door and walked out directly.
The woman took a deep breath, let out a long sigh of relief, ran to the sink, and began to wash her face.
…
The streets are already lively, with people working and walking, old people sitting on benches reading newspapers with pipes in their mouths, and the sound of "ding bells" of trams coming from the distance. It seems that everything is business as usual.
This is indeed the case. The purple-haired people's settlement is a small nook and cranny in a huge city. Although what happened last night produced an extremely strong smell of blood, it was not enough for everyone in the city to smell it.
Maybe some children eating breakfast at this moment will look at the newspaper and ask their father where something terrible happened last night?
His father would snatch the newspaper from the child's hand and curse: The purple-haired old man has nothing to do with us.
Karen hailed a taxi and told him the location.
The driver suddenly smiled and said: "Oh, sir, you are going to make a lot of money these days!"
Karen understood what the driver was referring to. When it comes to understanding the city, most taxi drivers surpass the mayor's office spokesman.
However, Karen was not interested in answering this question and just turned her face and looked out the window.
As the car got closer and closer to the Lanqiao community, we could gradually see some differences on the street. Some places were wet and had obviously just been cleaned, but traces of burning could still be seen.
Obviously something abnormal happened, but it still looks very normal today. This makes people wonder whether the abnormality last night is also a kind of normal in this city.
Just like what the Cult of Kosmos said...society is functioning normally.
Karen suddenly felt a little stuffy. He rolled down the car window to let in the wind outside, but this did not bring him any emotional improvement.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket. In this era, smoking in a taxi is not considered immoral. Many people even believe that tobacco can eliminate diseases.
But Karen still asked habitually: "Do you smoke?"
"Smoke, sir."
Karen handed over a cigarette, and the driver half-turned to take it: "Thank you, sir."
"Kacha."
Karen lit a cigarette himself and inhaled the tobacco mixed with special materials, which brought a slight numbness to the soul. Karen pursed her lips.
He didn't know how Neo was doing now or whether he had escaped safely, but he was not worried at all. It was really difficult for someone like the captain to be arrested and die as he deserved.
Karen began to think about the source of her depression, and soon got the answer.
He could simply understand from the perspective of "Symmetra" the religion's stance of not interfering with the normal functioning of society.
Since this era, it is precisely because of the rise of the Religion of Order that in the past thousand years, the Religion has at least openly relaxed its influence and control on ordinary people, allowing human society to enter a new stage of development.
It was the police and politicians who should be in charge last night. Although the police seemed to be on "holiday" last night, and although the politicians seemed to be the driving force behind this matter, if the Cult of Kosmos intervened, it would be different from directly establishing a religious state.
What's the difference?
However, is this non-intervention?
On the surface, you don't interfere, but in fact you have already participated. This is not the so-called respect, but a true contempt.
To be continued...
