Faint golden holy radiance filled the prayer room that was filled with portraits of biblical figures. Faint holy music gradually spread from the depths of my soul. Laura lowered her head devoutly, almost unable to make eye contact with Alaya in front of her.
This meeting was different from the previous ones. Laura was quite clear about this. The previous few meetings she had with the 'angel' were all 'private meetings' that didn't have any religious meaning. Even the time when she was brought to heaven by the angel was the same. However, the situation now was different. She was meeting the angel in the prayer room while performing the Cross ritual. This was given a very special religious meaning: a revelation from heaven.
Of course, I didn't know any of this. Everything was Alaya's idea. Regardless of whether she was a reliable person or not, Alaya was definitely an expert when it came to religion and mysticism. Just by choosing the right time, she was able to make her appearance carry a series of mysticism meanings.
The surrounding light gradually dimmed. Only then did Laura raise her head slightly and respectfully say to the angel in front of her, "Esteemed Angel, I am honored to be able to bathe in your glory once again."
Alaya blinked her eyes. Then, her expression suddenly went blank as she looked in my direction.
… She really forgot her words …
Do you really dare to take out that little slip of paper right now?
Although I could achieve the same effect through a mental connection, in order to prevent my frequently rampaging thoughts and Alaya's mindless obedience from causing some terrible consequences, I still chose the second backup plan.
With a wave of my hand, I took out a large white paper sign from behind me. There was a line of words written in bold font on it.
Alaya blinked her eyes and read, "The shadow is beginning to envelop this world. I bring you the word of God … the word …"
I smacked my forehead and wrote Pinyin on the white paper sign. If I had known this would happen, I would have written in Schilling instead! This girl is an idiot who knows nothing about Chinese!
Once again, Alaya came to a realization, "I bring you the word of God."
"The threat of the end of the world is approaching. The shadow in the depths of the universe is spying on this world. God has sent your elder brother to help this world, and you must … Erm …"
Tell me, why am I still writing in Chinese, you bastard!
Naturally, Rolla had already noticed that Alaya was stumped twice and looked behind her while stammering. This time, the golden-haired young lady finally couldn't hold back her curiosity. Of course, it could also be that the silly angel in front of her didn't give off much of a majestic vibe. In short, Rolla turned her head and took a glance …
Someone was busy writing on a paper shell. Why didn't I think of using an electronic screen?
Laura gawked at someone who looked like a stage manager. I put away the cardboard in embarrassment. "Noah and Jesus didn't dare to turn their heads back then …"
Araya hopped over curiously. "Brother Monarch, who is Noah?"
Veins popped out of my head. "It's that white-bearded old man from last time!"
Just as I finished my sentence, I heard a loud crash in front of me. Laura, who had been quiet all this while, seemed to have escaped from her restraints …. She dashed towards the desk not far away. She picked up a Bible and started flipping through it rapidly. In the end, she let out a long sigh. "Thank you, my Lord. I finally managed to preserve my outlook on life … Then, Lord Angel, can you tell me what happened now?"
I replied, "… Do you have a stool? I'll sit down first."
A moment later.
"Disaster?" Rolla sounded shocked. "Could it be that the Lord is going to punish humanity? No, if that's the case … you wouldn't have come to inform me of this … "
"That is a threat from beyond the world, an evil existence that is not created by the gods. The planets and stars in the universe are about to go out of control, and they will attack your planet. However, the most lethal threat will be eliminated by the gods themselves, while the other threats will be handled by your elder brothers — — they are a powerful race from another dimension that was born before you, and they are strong enough to fight against the stars that have gone out of control. You, on the other hand, will have to let the people on the coast leave the city, because that place will be destroyed by the tsunami in two months."
After Araya finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief. Then, he took out a hexagonal crystal plate out of thin air.
I took the crystal plate and pressed a few buttons on it. Then, I passed it to Laura and said, "Take this. It has a detailed record of the course of this disaster. We have only given you a revelation, so you must complete your mission …"
Rolla's expression immediately turned solemn. With utmost respect, she carefully took the idiotic disposable holographic projector from my hands.
After doing all that, Araya felt that his mission for the day was complete. He immediately flapped his wings and jumped in front of Rolla. Even though the latter was surprised by his actions, she was more or less used to the unexpected actions of these "angels", which were completely different from the ones in the Bible. Knowing that the official meeting was over, Rolla also relaxed a little.
Then, the two simple-minded angels prepared to start talking about combs and brushes …
"Alright, alright, Araya." Seeing that a certain idiotic angel would completely forget about the important matter if I didn't step in, I finally couldn't help but jump out. "Let's go home. We still have important things to do."
Seeing that we were about to leave, Rolla hurriedly stood up to send us off. However, I stopped her. "You should get ready to worry about your mission. You will have to work hard for the next few days."
Rolla immediately revealed a Shallow Shallow Smile. "To be able to obtain the Lord's trust is already the greatest honor for us servants."
Although that was what she said, I understood that even though Rolla was the ruler of the Puritan Church of England with unprecedented influence, her power was still limited. To use such influence to cause the evacuation of nearly 16 cities along the western coast of Europe, even with the power of the Queen of England, it would still be difficult to accomplish. This was already somewhat beyond their authority. In the United Nations, this was called interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. However, Rolla, who appeared to be brimming with confidence due to being entrusted with such an important mission by the Kingdom of Heaven, didn't seem worried at all. Even though I didn't know what methods she planned to use to facilitate such an unprecedented refuge, I still felt at ease and handed everything over to this free coolie.
When I came out of Rolla's residence, it was already late at night. At this moment, I suddenly remembered that I should have directly stayed at her house just now. Although it sounded rather wretched for a man to stay at a single lady's house late at night, Rolla shouldn't have any objections about it …
Well, let's not be too bothered. Strolling along the streets of London on such a quiet and serene night with a holy and beautiful angel, gazing at the bright stars in the night sky isn't a bad thing. Although I still felt that this was no different from being chased out by my wife to smoke on the streets in the middle of the night. As long as Alaya maintained her invisibility state, I would still be wandering alone on the streets.
"Brother Monarch, I'm tired … I want to sleep …"
It was time for Alaya, who had always been an obedient child, to sleep once again. (I was really curious about how this lass calculated the time difference. There was such a huge time difference between London and Tokyo. How could she still sleep now? Could it be that angels completely rely on light to determine the time?) She immediately yawned while rubbing her eyes and mumbling to herself. Even the wings on her back drooped listlessly.
After that, I became completely alone on the streets. A certain idiot used it for less than a minute and was already snoring in my mind!
Although it was comfortable to stroll around aimlessly like this, it became meaningless after a long time. However, just as I was getting bored and was about to take out the shuttle to head back, a familiar figure slowly walked towards me.
"Shinri?"
I asked in surprise when the figure walked over. The other party was obviously a hundred times more surprised than me.
"Lord Angel?"
I coughed awkwardly. "I don't usually address you like that. Speaking of which, what are you doing now?"
In the silent night of London, an 18 year old girl was wandering alone on the streets. Although it didn't seem appropriate to describe Shinri as such.
"Patrolling." Shinri said matter-of-factly. Only then did I remember the identity of the other party. However, given the identity of the young saint in front of me, would she need to personally patrol the streets?
"I am just helping a sick junior," Shinri saw through my curiosity and took the initiative to explain. Then, she lowered her head and touched the long blade that I gave to her. "Sky … Lord … Last time …"
"Thank you so much for your help when we destroyed the Queen's fleet. Otherwise, there would have been a lot of casualties." I smiled, ignoring the other party's expression of wanting to explain immediately. "Recently, Zola should have a big operation and the Japanese side also needs manpower. There might be places where the Amakusa Shiki could be of use. You can ask the fox girl about the specific situation. Just tell her that I told you."
After saying that, I waved my hand at Shinri and disappeared in an instant.
This way, including the English Puritan Church and the Japanese Amakusa Shiki, there were already two factions among the Cross Church that would be involved in this operation to save the world. When everything is over, how would the Roman Orthodox Church, who was completely excluded by the 'Kingdom of Heaven', feel?
I really … can't wait and see!
Due to the time difference, when I returned from England to the campus city, the local time wasn't even sunset yet. In other words, I was just in time for dinner. This also led to Lin Xue saying that I came back so early because of dinner …
The smooth trip to London was within our expectations. Other than the fact that she couldn't convert to Brother Chun, Laura would definitely listen to everything that we said. However, in Asia …
Even if the people of the Amakusa Shiki could help with the rescue of the refugees and the tsunami resistance work, in the end, I was still more willing to let the local government do some work, especially that old fox Aresta. At this time, I would feel sorry for myself if I didn't extort him for labor.
Just as I was thinking about this, before I went to look for him, a certain informant took the initiative to make a move.
It was the next morning. When I was wandering outside the research institute with the 120cm sisters … Ahem, I mean, thinking about the landing point of the Allied Fleet, a Lincoln Stretch Limousine suddenly appeared in front of the research institute. The people who alighted from the car were a stout old man who looked like an abbot and an amiable old lady. Behind them was a young man who looked like a follower. The other party was obviously coming for me because the three of them went straight to the entrance of the research institute the moment they got off the car. After glancing at the white sign at the entrance in bewilderment, the young man who acted as follower walked in the direction of the guardhouse. After their car stopped, no one opened the door from the inside.
In fact, no matter whose car stopped at the entrance, no one would open the door. This place had long been treated as a military base by a bunch of Empire soldiers. Other than when Zuo Tianlei and the others came to visit, the door was always locked. Not to mention the Lincoln Stretch Limousine, even if it was a forty door and a train, it would be blasted out by Vega's precious Scorpions with their photon cannons …
"There's no one there." I walked up and kindly reminded him. "The guards aren't here and they won't open the door for anyone."
The young man looked at me in surprise and began to look for a pager next to the automatic door.
"This is useless. The line was disconnected by the annoying deputy director yesterday afternoon."
The young man was surprised again. Then, he frowned and walked away from the unemployed young man who looked like he was out for a walk with his two little sisters. He took out a cell phone from his pocket.
I was amused. "I can't get through to the director's office. I haven't paid for two months …"
"Are you … a researcher here?"
The young man listened to the busy tone on the phone and finally stopped ignoring me. He walked over and asked in a low voice. He couldn't help but look us up and down strangely.
Other than the two cute and obedient little sisters following behind him, the person in front of me didn't look like a high-level intellectual who could work in the research institute. I admit that I shouldn't have worn slippers when I came out.
I quickly waved my hands. "No, no …"
The young man understood. "Oh."
"I am the director here …"
Then, the young man, the old man, and the old lady all fell for it.
"Why are you looking for me?"
I looked at the three people in front of me curiously. I didn't know any of them, and I didn't think anyone would come looking for me. Unless they really believed what Visca wrote at the door and came looking for me to cure their old stomachache. But looking at the two old people's faces, it shouldn't be like that …
The old man and the old lady looked at each other. Then, the former took a step forward and said amiably, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Director. It's like this, I am the director of the Sakura Orphanage. You might not have heard of this name, but … we are the guardians of Sylvia … I heard that Sylvia is living here now …"
"Oh …" I dragged out my voice and then revealed a kind smile. "Sylvia's guardians, right?"
The other party also smiled and nodded.
"The problem is, Sylvia suddenly appeared here a few months ago. When did you guys start taking care of her?"
The two's expression suddenly changed when they heard this. I sighed at Aresta's vulgarity. To think that he would find these two to act out an emotional drama with me. Does he think I'm an idiot?
"About that … I'm sorry, I don't really understand what you mean. Sylvia was adopted by Campus City since she was young …"
"I know, I know. That's what you told her. Even if I call her out right now, I'm afraid she would still think that way." I said, then my tone suddenly turned cold. "But you can go back and tell your superiors. Don't say any more of this nonsense. We have already discovered Sylvia's secret, and we don't plan on letting her go back now!"
"Are you going against the campus city!?"
The old man who had a kind expression suddenly stood up straight. His tone revealed the dignity of a superior.
"You better think carefully, young director. I know how curious researchers are about the unknown, but you are only able to conduct your research here because of the peaceful conditions provided by Campus City. If you give up on that girl, we can give you more things. You can conduct any research you want!"
"Uh, it seems like you guys are also small fries." I shrugged. "That old fox probably didn't even bother to give you orders. He didn't even let you know about the uniqueness of this research facility. There are some things that you won't know. Now, go back the way you came and report my words word for word. You won't be able to do anything after that."
My words were rather impolite. The other party's face immediately turned sinister, but he wisely suppressed his impulse. Then, he glared at me with hatred, turned around, and got into the car.
The Lincoln Stretch Limousine left in a trail of dust, which made me feel a little discouraged. I originally thought that they would impulsively splash blood in front of the research facility, but I didn't expect them to leave so easily.
"Brother, brother, are we going to destroy Aresta's nest?"
Visca's way of thinking was exactly the same as Pandora's. The first thing that came to his mind when their relationship worsened was to rush over and destroy the place.
I rubbed Visca's little head and shook my head. "Sometimes, the best way to deal with an enemy is not to kill him, but to enslave him forever. Turn the person you once hated the most into a servant who will fight to the death for you. This is why brother trained as a hunter …"
Then, Visca and Pandora got together.
"Then, how do you plan to make Aresta listen to you?"
I didn't know when the elder sister had been standing behind us, but she suddenly came over curiously.
"He's different from Laura. The latter can be driven by faith, but the former will only listen to benefits."
"There's also absolute power." I turned my head and smiled mysteriously. "Inform Sandora to start sending battleships to the universe. No matter the model, hide them all on the dark side of the moon. Then, let the Underground Information Center's Bubble secretly take over the information network of the school city. I want every screen in this place to have the military emblem of the Xiling Empire. Didn't Pandora edit a recruitment advertisement? Get ready, and finally … "
The elder sister had already guessed what I was going to say next. She giggled and said, "In the end, you're going to look for trouble. My baby brother is really the best!"
… I was really curious how the elder sister judged her brother's character …
"That's right, elder sister, how's the situation with Musayama Harusei?" Speaking of using the Underground Information Center's Schilling mainframe, I suddenly thought of a certain offline female teacher who was renting Empire's equipment. So many days had passed. With the powerful computing power of the Schilling mainframe, could it be that she still hasn't settled it?
"You finally remembered her." The elder sister shook her head helplessly. "The children have already woken up. Teacher Musayama has been wanting to thank you for the past few days. The problem is that you've been busy all day. She should be accompanying the children in the medical area at the back of the research institute. I'll go with you later."
