Extraordinary pedigree

Afternoon: 17:00

Tórshavn Marina Building.

The skyscrapers towering majestically at the top of the city are like giants stretching their majestic posture in the city. Its appearance towers into the clouds and rises from the ground, like a shining peak, attracting the focus of countless eyes.

The outer wall of the skyscraper is composed of pieces of glass curtain wall, which is transparent and crystal clear, like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding scenery. The sun's rays shine on its surface, like thousands of stars gathered together, illuminating the building in a dazzling way.

The rooftop at the top is like a kingdom in the sky. Here, people can overlook the prosperity of the entire city and feel the pulse of the city.

However, there are a lot of guests on the rooftop today.

"Technical adjustment, this must be a technical adjustment on [Financial Street]. This is a short-term, temporary price correction. It usually does not change the overall upward trend of the stock or the market. It must be like this, it must be!!!"

"1.7 million, 1.7 million, the whole warehouse is full of gratitude. I don't blame anyone. I blame myself for being greedy. I wanted to give my family a comfortable life. Who wants to lose everything? I am willing to admit defeat. I can only be willing to accept defeat. .”

"I, I just want to make some quick money, I just want to make some quick money..."

At the top of the building, a group of financiers who had been declared bankrupt were gathering on the rooftop. Among these people who had failed in the stock market, an atmosphere of depression and despair pervaded. Their faces were haggard, and their eyes had lost their former brightness and confidence, replaced by a look of confusion and confusion.

Someone was sitting in the corner, his body slumped, as if he was suffocated by tremendous pressure.

Someone listlessly flipping through their hands after being declared bankrupt and losing only the news consultation? Functional [financial card], his eyes dimmed, seeming to be looking for a glimmer of hope. Frustration and exhaustion were written on their faces.

The veterans were smoking cigarettes, with wrinkles deeply carved on their foreheads. All of them frowned, and the corners of their mouths drooped slightly. The confidence and pride they once had had been stripped away by the cruel reality of the stock market, leaving only faces. Powerless and decadent.

Their shoulders slumped, as if weighed down by the burden of failure. Their steps were staggering and their steps were heavy on the ground, as if every step carried a huge burden. Their originally upright figures had now become low and thin, as if they had aged decades overnight.

John Giovanni was also among the crowd. When [Financial Street] declared bankruptcy, he just felt unbelievable.

I have such huge assets, and you tell me that I am bankrupt. It is impossible, absolutely impossible. There must be something wrong.

However, no matter how hard it is to believe, bankruptcy is bankruptcy.

And Giovanni also noticed something was wrong when he went bankrupt.

Longen Company was sanctioned, Teni Company shorted itself, and Valais Thermoelectricity used high leverage to launch a [reverse takeover] against itself...

What a coincidence. What was originally a favorable situation suddenly turned into a desperate situation.

Who is behind all this? Does the other party want to...

"It's all my fault for being greedy. I wanted to give my family a comfortable life, but who wanted to lose everything? Farewell, family, I love you, I love this world!!!"

A voice full of madness woke Giovanni out of his meditation. He subconsciously looked at the source of the sound. On the railing of the rooftop, a middle-aged man opened his arms and faced the sky. His expression revealed something. There is a heavy feeling of abjection and despair, and the posture is rickety, as if he is carrying the heavy pressure of the world.

Looking at the figure of this man, Giovanni's pupils shrank unconsciously, and a look of horror appeared on his face unconsciously.

As a vampire who has been involved in the financial market all year round, he naturally knew that this middle-aged man wanted to take a "leap of faith" on the rooftop and end his painful life.

It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of thing in the news about people jumping off buildings after failing in stock trading. Even if everyone on the rooftop jumped off the balcony now, he wouldn't even blink an eyelid.

Just kidding, he is a noble [people of Cain], how could he care about the life and death of these down-and-out "blood animals".

The reason why Giovanni had a strange expression was because he was among this group of people. No, or rather, he saw a terrifying group of [active mitovirus bodies] above the rooftop.

The concept of Memu is to compare the behavior in the crowd to a virus, causing other people to be infected. Due to the existence of the [Ether Ocean], if a large number of highly distorted memes gather together, they will distort to form a huge field, and even become activated. In the field of Terran paranormal academia, some people believe that the "Master Avatar" is also an "Active Meme Virion Body".

Within Giovanni's field of vision, he saw a huge crow covered with metallic skin. When the crow's wings opened, it was covered with a variety of eyes from top to bottom. These eyeballs could be 360 ​​degrees free. Rotate, ignore any restrictions on angles and distances, and observe everything around it. Its body seems to be made of rich darkness and void, with light spots like stars flowing on it, giving people a deep and endless feeling.

You should kill yourself for being such a piece of trash!

Just die, no one cares anyway! ! !

Betting on dogs will lead to a bad death! ! !

Terrifying, crazy, and negative thoughts are constantly filling everyone's minds.

Giovanni swallowed his saliva and looked at the crow with fear and vigilance. He knew this [Active Mimovirus Body].

[High-risk Memevirus·Werther Effect (Suicide Imitation)]

People who are prone to suicide usually gather together before any suicide occurs. Once a negative event occurs in this group, the suicidal tendency of the group will increase, and the worst thing is that this group will summon [Witt].

[Witt] will emit a high-level meme virus called [Suicide Imitation], and it has a multi-stage advancement ability. The first stage of the performance is called "Suicide Imitation Introduction". When it completes a series of After completing the third level [title supplement], it will be crowned and activated into the body of the evil god.

Its authority is analogous to nuclear radiation, that is, when vulnerable groups (those prone to suicide) are affected by nuclear radiation (negative events), mass death events will occur.

"Quack quack——"

The crow made a shrill cry, like a knife cutting through the quiet air.

Its voice was hoarse and sharp, like an alarm from the darkness, exuding an unsettling aura, and every whistle was like a painful groan, penetrating the eardrums and reaching deep into the heart.

The frustrated people in the stock market all stood up. They were like marionettes with dull expressions. They came to the railing in neat movements and stretched out their hands like the first person, making a gesture of embracing the sky.

Giovanni is still a vampire in essence, and the financier is just a shell of his identity. He has not sold his blood energy as an asset to [Financial Street], so after bankruptcy, he is still a transcendent. He has just completed "Suicide Imitation" "Werther" in "Introduction" cannot interfere with him, and he is now an actor in the Red King and will not be contaminated at all.

"Let's die together, everyone!"

The middle-aged man who was preparing to take a "leap of faith" at the beginning had a sick smile on his face. He opened his arms with him and his companions hugging the sky also showed the same smile.

[Witt] It seems like he has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Generally, people infected by it must die neatly, and no sneaking or rushing away is allowed.

After discovering that it was impossible to contaminate Giovanni, [Witt] did not want to wait any longer. Its main service group was still humans, and other races were just small gifts by the way.

"Quack quack——"

[Witt] screamed again.

Then something unexpected happened.

call out--

An invisible and qualityless thinking weapon was shot at the excited [Witt] from a distance. The weapon was directly inserted into its body, and then its body expanded like a balloon.

BOOM!

A crisp sound cut through the quiet air, and [Witt] made a deafening explosion like a balloon.

At the moment of the explosion, its shell broke into countless fragments, like gorgeous petals blooming in the air; the colorful fragments flew away, like a sudden fireworks feast; the smoke filled the air, blocking the rays of the sun, making the entire scene It looks eerie.

The aftermath of the explosion still echoes in the air, as if it has caused a kind of blasphemy to this beautiful sky.

The newly formed [Witt] was directly fucked and exploded.

And all this only happened in an instant. Before Giovanni could react, [Witt] was fucked and exploded. He blinked his eyes and looked towards the direction where the thinking weapon was thrown. There, he saw the perpetrator of the attack.

In front, a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes was walking towards him, followed by a trio of two people, one big and one small.

"One week, the three of you will go rescue those stock investors, and later go to the phone booth under the building to call the crisis hotline. [Samaritan Suicide Prevention Society] has branches all over Terra. Just leave this professional matter to them. ”

Xia Xiu, who had just finished throwing the [Absurd Pollution·Closed-Mind] spear, told the three Tours people beside him that it would not be good for those trembling stock investors standing on the railing to hang there.

"good."

The three Turs directly summoned the [Incarnation of Master] and came to the "Leap of Faith" group. Several investors who had already jumped were kicked back to the balcony by Broly and Zhou Zhou.

Xia Xiu glanced at the remains of [Witt] in the sky with complicated eyes. Naturally, the opponent could not be destroyed directly. The one he just blew up was only a child's body. Even "Introduction to Suicide Imitation" Just a younger brother within a brother who hasn’t finished yet.

Xia Xiu's mood is very complicated now, because [Witt] should not be here now. The other party is one of the control sequences in the Kingdom of Heaven [Crisis Sequence], and is also the main target of poison elimination in [Wall of Sighs].

Sequence objectives appear directly on Terra, in this life, and in the previous life, they occurred in the fifth expansion.

At that time, Terra was in a stage of complete collapse...

Xia Xiu quickly adjusted his inner thoughts. The Honkai incident was not something he should consider now. What he should consider now was the vampire in front of him.

"Who are you!?"

At this moment, John Giovanni stared closely at the blond young man walking towards him. His fangs were exposed in his mouth, and the vampire abilities in his body began to mobilize crazily.

[Grandet] is too useless. Without the assistance of [Financial Street], it would be ridiculous to release it, so Giovanni can only use the true skills of the vampire family.

Facing the vigilant Giovanni, Xia Xiu didn't bother to beep anymore and directly turned on his [Module], took a step forward, and his whole person turned into an afterimage.

【Light Body·Start! 】

[Light element life mimics! ]

"Heaven... Kingdom!?"

Giovanni screamed in horror like a cat encountering a mouse. Possessing [Extraordinary Strength] and [Extraordinary Sensitivity], he subconsciously felt a strong wind blowing towards his forehead, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect his forehead. .

bump--

A whip leg with a blazing light hit his arm directly. His entire arm was twisted and deformed, and the bone marrow inside was crushed into bone foam by the terrifying force. Then, he flew out completely.

Boom——

Giovanni was rolling like a ball. It took a lot of effort to stop himself. At the same time, he burned blood energy crazily to activate [Quick Healing] and [Shadow Control].

Giovanni's arm was healing rapidly, and the shadows in front of him began to squirm like tentacles.

"Ahem..."

Gotta get out of here quickly!

Giovanni suppressed the pain and secretly said in his heart. At the same time, he quickly stood up and controlled the shadow to protect himself, while others ran straight to the rooftop.

As long as he runs over there and jumps down, he will need time to activate his [Transformation Ability] and turn into a bat to complete his escape.

As long as I run over there, I can...

Ssss——

There was a sound of boiling steam, and Giovanni's eyes widened. Reflected in his pupils was a blond young man with bloody steam coming from his hands.

【hat trick】

[Great Magic Moment·Gestalt Collapse Impression Technique! ]

[Great magic moment·The sense of presence is weakened! ]

How is it possible? When did he approach? He had been staying there just now. I clearly remember that he was motionless there...

Boom——

The boiling bloody steam directly tore apart the shadows around Giovanni.

The broad and powerful palms shredded all obstacles, and the slender and powerful fingers firmly clasped the head of the frightened vampire.

"Wait, I still have..."

[Blood Fighting Technique·Strong Skull Crushing! ]

Click——

A large amount of watermelon juice burst out from the vampire's head. The bright red watermelon juice was directly evaporated by the boiling blood-colored steam. The golden eyes of the blond young man stared indifferently at the headless corpse that slowly fell to the ground.

The headless corpse lay limply on the ground, and at the severed head area, there were squirming granules.

The blond young man raised his right hand, and a blue pistol appeared in his right hand. He pointed the gun at the meat sprout and kept pulling the trigger.

bump! bump! bump!

The blue energy arrows continued to annihilate the squirming flesh sprouts. While shooting, Xia Xiu also specially summoned his anonymous [Financial Card].

[Do you decide to replace all assets and activate [Gold Coin Flooding]? 】

[Note: This economic magic only has the function of showing off wealth and has no real effect. 】

"Activate [gold coin flooding]." Xia Xiu said slowly.

A magic circle suddenly appeared where Xia Xiu was, and then a large wave of gold coins poured down like a waterfall.

Rumble——

When the gold coins poured down, Xia Xiu had already activated [Body Deformation], and the [Counting Earl] worn on Giovanni's watch seemed to feel something and began to rotate crazily.

[Grandet] came out of the watch. Its appearance was no longer the two-faced form of a bull and a bear. It turned into the image of a shriveled old vampire, pale and ugly.

Dangdangdang——

The gold coins made a noisy sound, like countless small laughters echoing in the ears. The vampire's hands desperately grasped the gold coins, but he could not hold them, and the coins slipped from his fingers like sand.

[Grandet] was suffering, enjoying, and struggling. It was overwhelmed by the boundless wealth, and its eyes were full of greed and pain.

It tried to struggle out of the pile of gold coins, but it could not escape the shackles of the gold coins no matter what.

The light of the gold coin became stronger and stronger, shrouding the vampire within it.

In the end, the vampire's body was completely swallowed up by the gold coins, leaving only a pile of ashes, which was submerged in the gold coins and disappeared into it.

"...And he caused all, both great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. Except those who received the mark, had the name of the beast, or had the name of the beast. No one shall buy or sell anyone according to the number of the beast’s name.”

The blond young man looked at the vampire that turned to ashes and chanted in a low voice, his golden eyes with an obscure luster.

Xia Xiu's hand holding the [Financial Card] squeezed hard, and the entire [Financial Card] was directly crushed by him and turned into a ball of light. The true nature of the [Financial Street] flashed in his mind subconsciously.

【Financial Street】···

Top crisis sequence objective.

One of the [Beasts] that brought collapse to humans and all of Terra.
