Evening Bell Church

While the two were happily fishing, a young man hurried over from a distance, panting and looking at Su Ge with a worried look.

The old man turned his head slightly, looked at the young man standing aside, who looked anxious but did not dare to approach rashly, and asked tentatively: "Is he here to see you?"

Sugar turned his head and looked, just in time to meet Cass's worried eyes.

"Yes." Su Ge nodded and waved to Cass.

Cass hurriedly came over and whispered: "Sir, it's dangerous here."

Su Ge's expression was calm and peaceful, and he said slowly: "Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Looking at Su Ge's unhurried look, Cass was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, and he wanted to pick up Su Ge and run away.

"Sir, there are at least a dozen clergymen ambushed around here. We need to leave here as soon as possible." Cass said extremely seriously.

The old man's ears were very good. When he heard this, he glanced at Su Ge with drooping eyelids and suddenly asked: "Are you a cultist?"

Su Ge raised his hand to comfort the anxious Cass, turned to the old man and asked with a smile: "Do I look like him?"

"I don't want to." The old man shook his head honestly.

"How can I see it?"

"If the cultists were as slow as you, they wouldn't let the church bother so much." The old man said a very simple and unpretentious truth.

Su Ge laughed: "That's true."

The old man glanced at Cass: "This subordinate of yours looks like a cultist."

"Then you're not afraid!?" Cass pretended to glare fiercely.

The old man shrugged and said with an indifferent expression: "I am eighty-one this year, and I am considered a senior citizen in society. Being able to live one more day every day is a gift from the goddess to me, and it is an extra gift to me. It is of course good to be alive. I’m not afraid if I can’t live. Anyway, compared to other old men, I have already made a lot.”

Su Ge sat on the chair again and said with a smile: "Although this mentality is good, you need to clear it up. This extra life has nothing to do with the goddess. This is the result of your self-discipline and health care. This is what you deserve." ”

After hearing this, the old man grinned and said, "You are indeed a cultist."

"What do you mean!?" Upon hearing this, Cass raised his eyebrows with anger on his face.

Is this old guy suffering from Alzheimer's disease? Can't you tell that the Lord is praising him?

Su Ge smiled calmly and looked at the fish bladder on the water.

The old man grinned and said, "Your theory is completely opposite to that of the March Church. No wonder they want a good old guy like you."

When Cass heard this, his face turned slightly red and he felt a little embarrassed.

Su Ge looked at the number of clergy and policemen who had unknowingly increased on the other side of the river, and said calmly: "Tell me, what is justice? Is it the right thing, or is it something recognized by universal values?"

"I, an old man, can't figure out such a profound question. But justice itself, like time, is full of uncertainty," the old man said.

Su Ge heard this theory for the first time and asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

The old man held the fishing rod firmly with both hands and said: "My grandfather, my father, and I are all watchmakers, so we are very sensitive to time. Back then, I followed my father around the city during summer time and winter time, and recorded the things in the city. The time of all the big clocks was adjusted. During the adjustment process, I found that the time was not standardized. We adjusted it to two o'clock, which is two o'clock, and three o'clock, which is three o'clock. People will not correct these and will just continue with this time. Put it down and go.”

"The same is true for justice. This thing itself is relative. When a person is bitten by a lion, we kill the lion and uphold justice as humans. But for the lion, it is the greatest injustice. Because he The one who bit him walked into his territory."

"The same goes for humans."

The old man said, looked down at the fishing rod in his hand and said: "My son is also a clockmaker. Because of an unintentional mistake, he set the wrong time on the clock, which resulted in the death of two workers in the factory. The angry people asked me When my son was a child, he accidentally pushed him down the steps and is now paralyzed at home. Although they were still making a living, they could no longer stand up. The two workers who accidentally pushed him down were sentenced. As a result, their families were torn apart and they lost financial support. The children went to underground casinos for a meal, and ended up getting into fights. When he died, his mother was so distraught that she went crazy..."

Su Ge was silent when he heard this.

"In this chain reaction, no one has a dark heart, and no one has any wrongdoing. Who is the righteous one?" The old man said, and his steady hands, which had repaired countless clocks, trembled.

The tremors were transmitted to the river through the fishing rod, causing ripples in circles, just like the aftermath of the evening bell before Sugar.

Sugar can't answer this question, because this series of hatred cycles cannot be solved at all.

Some things are destined not to be solved by conventional law and so-called justice.

Cass on the side fell into silence after hearing these words, not knowing what to say.

Su Ge calmly looked at the ripples on the water and said: "Humans are destined to be unable to understand each other, and the same is true between humans and other species. Inner estrangement is the origin of disputes. If everything is unified, if everything can understand each other, Break down the barriers in your heart, and then you may be able to see what true justice is.”

Hearing this, the old man smiled: "If this is the case, there will be no privacy between people. Are people at that time still human?"

Su Ge was stunned for a moment and then became silent.

The reason why people are called human beings is because of the existence of a wall in each human heart. An independent thinking individual carries his own secrets, so that he can become a normal person with a complex personality.

If, as Su Ge just said, the barriers between people are lost and mutual understanding is achieved, perhaps then it will be a disaster.

Su Ge understood the reasoning and found that he could not refute and could only remain silent.

A few seconds later, the old man burst out laughing and said: "These things are not something that a small person like me can solve. Naturally, we cannot think about these things. Living your life happily is the most important thing."

Su Ge raised his head and looked at the relaxed old man, and then laughed: "Yes, thinking about these things is meaningless in itself. The so-called human beings are naturally this kind of contradictory beast that combines advantages and disadvantages."

"They insist on the justice they do, yearning for good things in their hearts, but they carry out bad things. They are stuck in the mud, but their hearts are pure and flawless under the protection of their firm faith."

After saying that, Su Ge stood up and looked behind him: "I respect them rationally and understand them. Unfortunately, I am not a rational creature, so I think that they will be eroded by filth sooner or later after walking in the mud for a long time. , no matter how pure your heart is, it will become rotten."

While speaking, Su Ge's eyes happened to see Laurie leading a group of clergymen walking down the side road and walking towards here.

The old man who was fishing turned around and looked around. When he saw the exquisite archbishop's robe on Laurie, the corners of his white eyes couldn't help but twitch.

This is the Archbishop, the Archbishop of the Holy Blood Church.

When his eyelids were trembling, the old man glanced around and found that all the other old fishing men had disappeared. Even the pedestrians on both sides of the street had been cleared away, replaced by dozens of heavily armed police and clergy. The total number of encirclements exceeded three digits.

There were only three people left by the huge river. Even though the old man was a bachelor, he still felt a little weak inside.

He looked up at Su Ge, who had already stood up. This young man, who was somewhat prematurely senile, still looked calm at this time, but his deep eyes were not sharp at all, only calm and gentle.

"A big shot really came here." The fishing rod held by the old man was shaking a little. Su Ge's influence seemed to be beyond his imagination.

Laurie came over with a few mysterious people wearing strange clothes, forming a faint corner-shaking force and surrounding Su Ge in the middle.

Cass took a step forward and blocked Sugar behind him.

Laurie glanced at Cass, his eyes flashed with a cold light and said: "Traitors really appear in droves, Cass Pankow."

He naturally knows Cass. As a prisoner who was once detained in the dungeon, the Church of the Holy Blood has strict files.

In the Bain City Incident, the ten prisoners were neither alive nor dead, and reported that they were devoured by monsters and used as sacrifices. However, the tribunal did not believe it, so the files were not revoked.

After all, the only people who can be imprisoned in the dungeon are those special mortals who have come into contact with the taboo existence of the church.

Cass replied calmly: "It's an honor to meet you, Archbishop Laurie, who is called the Shadow Hound."

Laurie replied coldly: "It is my honor to be the goddess's hound."

"Since he is the hound of the goddess, what are you doing here if you don't want to chew those bones? Does destruction belong to your star of hope?" Cass fired back forcefully.

"Our salvation is in our own hands and has nothing to do with you!"

After speaking, Laurie raised his hand, and the people in strange robes around him raised their hands at the same time, gradually approaching.

Everything Su Ge experienced was too weird. Even now, Laurie is still full of vigilance in his heart.

The remaining power of the Storm Emperor, after such a long time, is still deeply imprinted in his memory.

"Sir, be careful." Cass tensed up and protected Su Ge behind him.

Sugar took a step forward and stretched out his hand to signal Cass to step back.

Naturally, Cass did not dare to disobey Sugar's wishes. Although he was worried, he respectfully pushed it down.

The old man looked at Cass, who looked respectful, and then at Sugar. He suddenly found that he couldn't see through this young man.

Sugar and Laurie stopped a meter apart and looked at each other.

No one on either side is in a hurry.

Laurie is sure of victory at this time, and he hopes that Sugar can surrender more meekly to avoid other extraneous problems.

Su Ge was calm and a little scary, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"The last time you and I looked at each other, it was probably at the base camp of the Church Alliance." Su Ge said calmly.

Laurie replied expressionlessly: "That incident was the beginning of the greatest shame in my life."

"There is a kind of humiliation called self-humiliation. These four words are not suitable for you." Su Ge said lightly.

"We cannot tolerate a child possessing such critical knowledge."

Su Ge was too lazy to argue with him about the so-called good and evil. He said bluntly: "If it is these people, you are not qualified to take me back."

"I'm just an ordinary person. Isn't it a little too presumptuous!?" The middle-aged bishop on the side said with displeasure when he heard this.

Su Ge did not look at the bishop, but looked at Laurie with deep eyes: "The mystery has dissipated, knowledge has collapsed, and now I am just a disabled body."

Laurie didn't speak, and Sugar continued: "This should have been my weakest time, but unfortunately, it is also my strongest time."

"I am very clean now, so clean that the gods are satisfied." Su Ge opened his arms, as if showing everything about himself.

Hearing this, Laurie's eyes became cautious, and his body took a small step back.

He knew the whole process of Myra's matter very well, and he understood what Su Ge meant now.

Su Ge continued: "Do you really think my ultimate means is the Storm Emperor?"

As he spoke, Su Ge suddenly felt an inexplicable and strange situation in his body.

It was not a breath, nor a fluctuation, but a situation, or a phenomenon.

"Mystery dissipated, knowledge ended, and spiritual vision returned to zero, but it does not mean that the cause and effect of my body disappeared."

Su Ge looked down at Laurie from a high position: "What is this cause and effect? ​​You should know it very well."

In an instant, Laurie's face turned pale, a lot of fine sweat oozed from his forehead, and his expression was extremely solemn.

The old man sitting there was completely dumbfounded when he saw this. He never thought that this young man who seemed to have lost something could suppress the aggressive archbishop into such an embarrassed state.

"Bain City, Guiying City, Yagu City, and the King in Yellow last night? Why do I always have the last laugh in the face of danger? Have you really not carefully studied what kind of existence is behind me?"

Laurie felt helpless when he heard this.

It's not that they didn't study it, but they have no clues or information at all.

The Lord of Storm and Death? The Lord of Dreams? The Dominator of Death? These titles are completely unavailable in history.

The only true god of the abyss and the valley that can be found, but the information is absolutely blank and cannot be queried.

So they have always hoped to create a god who can resist the existence behind Su Ge when necessary.

However, what they didn't expect was that Su Ge, who had lost everything and even lost the qualification to become a mysterious person, still had God's grace by his side.

That's right, that weird, indescribable phenomenon that makes people feel absolutely suppressed, is God's grace.

This is the absolute power shown by the real gods when protecting someone.

Not to mention that God's grace itself has extremely strong defensive capabilities and the function of summoning gods. They dare not touch this kind of gift rashly.

Because rash contact represents an offense and contempt for this god.

And as a result, no one can escape, and no one is qualified to have a good end.
