After that, Fangzheng and the others were arranged to stay in the castle's guest room. One could imagine that it would be a very difficult day for the dead. However, Fangzheng did not care. Instead, when he arrived at the guest room, he sat on the sofa and petted the kitten with one hand while reading a newspaper that he took out from the side.
The other girls, on the other hand, were discussing the matter.
"What do you think they'll choose?"
"I don't know, but I don't think it's easy to say …"
"I think they'll agree to Mr. Fangzheng's request. If they don't, they'll all be burned to death!"
"But to them, we're outsiders after all. Asking them to make such a decision out of the blue …"
"Sigh, I'm so worried …"
The girls discussed among themselves. However, Misaka Mikoto was furious when she saw Fangzheng reading the newspaper while petting the kitten.
"Mr. Fangzheng, aren't you nervous at all?"
"Why would I be nervous?"
Fangzheng replied casually as he flipped through the newspaper.
"The sword and the olive branch have been handed to them. Now, it's up to them to make their own choice. Since they've made their choice, they have to bear the consequences."
"But, but, maybe they just didn't think about it, or maybe they'll decide to take a gamble …"
"I told you, Misaka."
Fangzheng interrupted Misaka Mikoto's explanation and stared at her.
"Everyone has to bear the consequences of their choice. The cause, process, and motive are not important. You're the same. Don't forget that the choice you made has led to this outcome. "
"…!"
Misaka Mikoto's face turned pale when she heard that. She sucked in a breath of cold air. Of course, she knew what Fangzheng was referring to. In order to treat the children who could not walk, she had given up her DNA profile. However, in the end, the DNA profile appeared in front of her in the most nightmarish form.
Her sisters.
That was definitely not Misaka Mikoto's original intention. She had never thought about it, but the moment she agreed to it, the result of everything was what she had to face.
"Come to think of it …"
Zuo Tianlei immediately thought of a way to change the topic when he saw the tense atmosphere.
"Mr. Fangzheng, you actually said that you are a god. You really scared me."
"What, you don't think I look like one?"
"Because God should be the kind that looks down on the world from high above. How could he be like you …"
"Gods are not idols. We don't need to be idols and dress ourselves up according to the thoughts of their fans. What those believers think is their business. What does it have to do with us?"
With that said, Fangzheng flipped another page of the newspaper.
"Remember, it's different from idols. Idols are doomed if they don't have fans to support them, so they have to try their best to please their fans. However, Gods were different. Humans needed to seek help from Gods, and they had to accept the existence of Gods. If you were unhappy, you could choose not to seek help. They were just mere mortals. Did you think that Gods would care about what they thought? Because whatever you think a god is, a god should be like that. Keep dreaming. "
"Wow, now that you put it that way, it makes sense …."
Zuo Tianlei was speechless. Misaka Mikoto and Alisa did not know what to say. Although it sounded overbearing at first, when they thought about it, it was true. Gods did not seek help from mortals, but the mortals sought help from Gods. Who in the world would seek help from Gods at the same time?
"Mr. Fangzheng, will you ask for a sacrifice and a witch? I've heard that many Gods have rituals and such … and isn't there a saying that a witch will serve the Gods? "
"I'm not interested. It's a waste of time. Besides … hmm …."
With that said, Fangzheng gave Shirai Kuroko a meaningful look.
"If we're talking about a witch, Shiranui is a pretty good one."
"Eh? Shiranui? Mr. Fangzheng, it's best you reconsider. If you make Shirai a witch, it will cause others to question your godhead! "
"Hmph!"
Sensing Fangzheng's gaze, Shiranui Kuroko snorted and turned her head away. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks. Of course, she understood what Fangzheng meant. In all myths and legends, a witch was someone who dedicated her body and soul to the Gods and served them. As for what she and Fangzheng did …. Ugh, forget about it.
"So, are you going to apply to be my witch? Write an application and send it to me first. "
Fangzheng chuckled.
"How about it? It's simple, isn't it? This isn't a trick played by mortals. All you have to do is write a report, and as long as I approve it, you'll be a witch recognized by the Gods. There's nothing better than that. "
"Ugh …. Why do I feel like this is completely different from what I imagined …."
"Because the world will never go as you wish. If everything goes as you imagine, what's the point of having a God?"
"Mr. Fangzheng …. If that's the case, I don't think we can have a proper conversation …."
Zuotian Tears had no choice but to surrender.
However, at that moment, another person appeared.
"Mr. Fangzheng, Miss Zuotian, Miss Scarface doesn't seem to be feeling well."
Phyllis walked into the living room and said to the people sitting there.
"Huh?"
When they arrived at the guest room, they were surprised to see Scarface lying on the bed. According to Phyllis, Scarface had been feeling dizzy since just now. She felt that something was wrong, so she asked him a few questions. In the end, Scarface said that he was feeling unwell, so Phyllis hurriedly called the others over.
"Is he sick?"
Zuotian Tears stretched out his hand and touched Scarface's forehead.
"He doesn't have a fever?"
"You're just a three-legged cat. Let me do it."
Fangzheng patted his tear-stained head. Then, he opened his personal terminal and scanned the scar.
"How do you feel?"
"My chest doesn't feel good. I have a headache, and …. I feel like vomiting."
"Ugh …."
Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned.
"Don't tell me you want to eat something sour."
"Sour …. That seems to be the case …."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Zuo Tian Lei immediately cried out.
"Is Miss Scarface pregnant?!"
"No way!"
At that moment, the others came over and looked at Scarface in astonishment. As for Fangzheng, he shrugged.
"Well, the examination is over. Um …. I'm sorry, you're not pregnant. You're just showing symptoms of pregnancy."
"Mr. Fangzheng, why don't I understand what you're saying?"
At this moment, Alisa asked doubtfully.
"Since you're not pregnant, why are you showing symptoms of pregnancy?"
"That's not strange. This is called pseudo-pregnancy. This kind of symptom occurs in both humans and animals. It's basically a mental illness. Because you want your child too much, you unconsciously develop this condition."
"But I've never had such a thought?"
Scarface asked doubtfully. Fangzheng shook his head.
"Maybe you've unconsciously developed such thoughts. In short, the body is very honest. Even if you say you don't have such thoughts …. Well, if you say you don't have such thoughts, then do you have any clues? There must be some kind of opportunity that caused this. "
"Opportunity …."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Scarface was silent for a moment.
"I heard a voice."
"A voice?"
"That's right. I've been hearing it ever since I entered this city. Now, I can hear it even more clearly. The voice should be coming from here …."
"Hmm …. That's easy. When we're done tomorrow, we'll go find the voice you mentioned."
"Knock knock knock."
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zuotian Tears curiously walked out of the bedroom to the living room and opened the door.
But what appeared in front of her was a girl with sunny blonde hair and emerald green eyes.
"Hello!"
Looking at the tears in front of her, the little girl greeted her energetically.
"I'm Ai, Ai Astin!"
"Ah, hello, I'm Zuotian Tears."
Lei Zi pondered for a moment before remembering that this was the girl who had spoken up in the hall and then been dragged away.
"Hello, I'm Zuotian Tears. What's the matter?"
"I want to speak to the Lord God!"
The girl clenched her fists tightly and looked imposing. Tears was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng? What's the matter? "
"I have something very, very important to tell you!"
"Ah, come in then."
Forced by the girl's imposing manner, Tears involuntarily took a few steps back and let the girl enter the room. At that moment, Fangzheng finished examining Scarface and walked out of the guest room. He raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the girl in front of him.
"Who's this?"
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng, this is …."
However, before Zuo Tianlei could finish his sentence, he saw the girl walk forward and bow at Fangzheng.
"Hello, Lord God. My name is Ai Astin. I'm the child of a tomb keeper and a human."
"Oh … Hello, I'm Fangzheng. What's the matter?"
Fangzheng sat back on the sofa while stroking the kitten in his arms and looked at the girl in front of him in confusion. Ai hesitated for a moment before she finally spoke.
"Lord God, I heard you say that you want to save the world in the hall, but why did you threaten to destroy the dead?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng grinned and changed his action. He continued scratching the kitten's belly and looked at Ai.
"Do you think there's a problem?"
"Of course, because I also want to save the world. I want everyone to be happy …."
"Ai."
However, upon hearing that, Fangzheng interrupted the girl's words.
"Do you know what a world is?"
"….?"
Fangzheng sighed as he looked at the girl who tilted her head in confusion.
"It's not just humans that are the world. Mountains, rivers, blue skies, white clouds, grasslands, animals, plants, all of these are part of the world. When all of these are combined, they form the whole world. Do you understand? Saving the world is different from saving humans. When you think of saving the world, you only consider humans, not other species, right? "
"But … … but … …"
"Your wish for everyone to be happy is wrong in itself. Not everyone's happiness is a good thing. For example, some people like to kill. They long to hear the screams of others before they die, then pull out their internal organs and watch them die in pain. This is happiness for such people, but do you want to realize this wish? "
"This, of course not …."
"It's good to have good wishes, but you must look at the world objectively and rationally. In fact, I don't like that kind of person. If I see that kind of person, I'll crush his bones and scatter his ashes. You can say that even though I'm a god, I've definitely killed many people. Because no matter which world you're in, there will always be people who like to cause trouble. What's even more ridiculous is that most of the time, these people carry the dream of 'saving humanity' and destroy humanity …. "
With that said, Fangzheng stared at Ai.
"Little girl, don't go the wrong way too."
"Is … is that so?"
Ai hugged the shovel in her hand tightly when she heard Fangzheng's words, but she still asked.
"But why is saving humanity a bad thing?"
"Hmm … If that's the case, I'll explain it to you."
Fangzheng rubbed his chin. He realized that Ai was not the only one who was interested in this topic. Zuo Tianlei and Misaka Mikoto were also interested, so he nodded.
"The night is still long. It's not a bad idea to educate you guys a little more."
