A black mist filled the chaotic crowd. Some people vomited blood and fell down, while others suddenly lost their minds.It wasn't until they got away from the crowd that they gradually quieted down.

Su Mingan leaned in an alley and looked at Alice: "Are you all right?"

"Yeah." Alice nodded and covered the scratch on her arm.

Su Mingan turned his head, and he noticed—this time the second tower changed the reality a lot.The first tower, while incorporating the past, is still dominated by the modern landscape.But this second tower is completely dominated by the landscape of the steam age.

Along the way, he saw almost all civilians in medieval costumes, as well as knights and soldiers holding cold weapons, and rarely saw modern residents.It's like being completely back in the days of Girls' Dream Project.

"The first tower belongs to the home game. But now it belongs to the away game..." Su Mingan opened the small map.

As an Orderer, he can go around the world to complete tasks to obtain clues or extend his free time.He looked at it, and the task with the greatest contribution value was to assist Alice and make her a qualified goddess.

The name of the second tower is "Goddess Salvation", which can be launched, and Alice is the biggest protagonist in this story.Of course, he can get the most contribution points by cultivating her.

"Actually, it cannot be ruled out that this 'Goddess' refers to Alice, Mizushima Kawasora, or both." Su Mingan thought: "Is it Alice who will save the world in the end, or does it refer to Mizushima Kawasora? Sora Shimagawa?"

He decided to go with Alice to the largest church in the age of steam - the Holy Cathedral.It's the safest place for now.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the two arrived at the sacred capital.This is the holy city, and a large number of believers come to worship every day.Alice was welcomed by the crowd, and everyone looked at her with admiration and awe.

Alice took him to the lounge, skillfully opened the teapot, and started making tea.

In the quiet room, the only sound is the fragrance of tea and the sound of porcelain cups.

"Aren't you surprised? I come from another era." Su Mingan said.

Alice shrugged her shoulders slightly, and shook her head: "No matter which era you come from, you are you."

"But I am the old god, the enemy of the gods. You are the goddess of the generation of the gods..." Su Mingan said.

——Their positions are contradictory.

If the gods issued an oracle, asking Alice to assassinate him, or ask her to lead troops to surround and kill him.As a goddess, Alice cannot defy, otherwise she will be judged for "treason against God".Once the goddess is disqualified, she will be greeted with the most terrifying destruction.What's more, Alice is now his "companion", so it is very convenient to do it.

Alice paused her fingers slightly.

Her voice trembled: "...if you are the old god, I am also willing to become the goddess of the old god. I will always believe in the god in my heart, my only... Lord God."

These words of hers can be called outrageous, if they are released, they will definitely be burned at the stake.

But looking at her sad eyes, Su Mingan felt as if there was an invisible barrier between them. After all, no matter how much she leaned towards him in her heart, she was the goddess of this generation. She had to lead everyone through the difficulties. It was impossible. Give up this identity.

"Detective, am I crying?" Alice asked suddenly.

Su Mingan looked at her clean face: "No, why do you ask that."

Alice stretched out her hand, stopped in front of his face, and said in a daze, "Then why...you have such an expression."

His expression looked... like she was crying.

Su Mingan shook his head, and at this moment - Alice seemed to hear something.

Her expression became anxious, then sad and hopeless.She looked at him carefully with an unspeakable gaze.

"What's wrong?" Su Mingan asked sharply.

"The gods just said to me... When you are stuck in a time when you can't move, let me... take you to the gods." Alice said.

Su Mingan's eyes moved slightly.This is obviously an oracle that cannot be spoken out, and Alice said it, which means...she disobeyed this oracle.

At this moment,

The bell rang.

"Clang - clang - clang - clang -!"

Four bells rang.

A new oracle came, and all the priests heard the oracle.

The oracle has something to say-the contemporary goddess may be the alien king who is about to be resurrected, and she and her companions should be arrested immediately.Those who have meritorious service can be granted all the glory and wealth in the world.

The moment Alice decided to defy the oracle, the gods instantly abandoned her.

The sound of weapons and irons sounded outside the door and window, and the footsteps of knights were approaching.

"The gods still want to stop me." Su Ming'an got up: "Now, he has an upright cover—using you as a banner."

Alice held his hand: "And I don't regret disobeying the oracle, Mr. Detective."

Seeing more and more dense figures, Alice's expression became more and more calm: "I think, I was chosen as a goddess, maybe it is to disobey this oracle that wants to hurt you."

The footsteps are getting closer, and the greed and desire in people's eyes are getting closer.

Qingniao and Xue Qixia were at the front of the team, and the snow-white robes of the Holy Cross fluttered in the wind, like a holy banner.Mizushimagawa followed closely behind with the scepter in his hand, and the knights surrounded them, the sharp sword in his hand gleaming.

Su Mingan opened the door first and stood out.

"—Stop your steps." Su Mingan said.

No one answered.They looked at him with blind and solemn eyes, and their footsteps were still approaching, as if they had been drawn by some invisible belief.

Su Mingan glanced at the time, he didn't plan to get entangled with these people, the four hours of free action time was not enough for him to kill them all, and killing them was meaningless.

Alice took his hand and led him to run towards the back door.Sitting in wheelchairs, they came to the nearest town—the castle where Alice grew up.

"Immediately... it's almost... the time when I can't move." Alice whispered: "Let's... spend that hour in this city first. I know a very safe place."

She found a dusty basement and took him to hide there.This is the slum where Alice lived as a child, but those children are no longer there.Some went to join the army, some starved to death, and some have traveled far.Only solitary sawdust and haystacks remained.

"Search - search -!"

The footsteps of the knights came from the ground, and the cold weapons flashed between the gaps above the head. People have not found this basement yet.

In the dark basement, Su Mingan sat in the haystack, turned on his watch, and logged on to the Internet.

[The first disciple to be eliminated appears - the superior from the City Guardian Department!His tattoo was cut off by Beavis's sword, and he was helplessly declared out! 】

[God's verdict - the contemporary goddess Tasliche is the alien king who is about to be resurrected!Is it true?The Holy Alliance troops have been dispatched, but the goddess has escaped with the old god! 】

[After "Cat and Her", "Lou Yue Kingdom", and "Girl's Dream Project", the fourth game has appeared!It's called "Fate Simulator", and it has been sent to all dream watchers, and the server will open at midnight tonight!The gods once said that there are six games in total. After the six games, where will the fate of mankind go? 】

[The factions supporting the old gods are expanding and spreading like a tsunami, and the Holy Allies are also showing their strength!Could it be that the fire in human hearts was really ignited? 】

[Master Old God—that young man who looks only 20 years old, so young, will he save us? 】

……

"Detective." Alice's soft voice came from beside her: "I'm a little...sleepy."

Su Mingan also felt a little sleepy, and his eyelids seemed to be unable to open: "It should be that the hour is coming soon, we will be forced to be unable to move, maybe just fall into a coma."

Alice leaned over carefully and put her hand on his.The sword calluses on her fingers were thicker, and the skin was even rougher than his.

The light of fire and sword flashed through the gap above the head, and the footsteps of the knights searching were only separated by a wall.The lights in the basement were not turned on, and Su Mingan couldn't see Alice's expression clearly.Her voice is extremely careful, as if asking for a fragile promise.

"Wait for me...to wake up." Alice's eyes were becoming more and more difficult to open: "You must...be still by my side. We must...not be found."

"Hmm." Su Mingan released Ming, his avatar, and asked Ming to stay by his side.With Ming's care, I can feel more at ease.

Until the end of the free movement time, his vision went dark, and he fell into a deep sleep instantly.

……

The gods slowly opened their eyes among the vast text.

He sat on an ice-white chair, covered with prayers from all over the world.

A little fluorescent light floated into the room from the window, floating in the palm of his hand.He stared silently for a long time, and the fluorescent light turned into Xiaoli in his palm.

"...Obviously you are also me, why is it different." The god whispered to himself.

The fluorescence gradually disappeared between his palms.

Spirits often browse the Internet, observe human mental states, and use "doppelgangers" to understand human thoughts.He would incarnate himself into many people in the world, socialize with others, and try to figure out how humans think.

It's just that these "clones" are just of the same origin as him and made by him.From the moment they were born, they no longer belonged to Him. He just played the role of "mother" and continued to create these primordial things similar to Him.These "clones" are His endless possibilities.

Xiao Li is one of the primordial things He created.Since she was born, Xiaoli has abundant emotions and a holy humanity. She has always been pure and kind. Even though she suffered such terrible persecution, she still chose to sacrifice for mankind in the end.This puzzled him—why, Xiao Li, who clearly came from him, could have such... such feelings that he couldn't understand.

With the end of the first tower, Xiaoli is dead in the past and present, and her karma line is completely broken.She has disappeared into the world and will never return.

He clenched his palms tightly, and the source light penetrated into his body.After recovering Xiaoli's source light, Xiaoli's life echoed in his mind.

The gods closed their eyes, savoring Xiaoli's life over and over again.It's like tasting delicious food.He observed her plight, felt her sadness, felt her despair, put himself in the pain of her death... until he experienced her whole life, when he opened his eyes, his eyes were still confused.

"...I still can't understand." The god said to himself.

He still can't understand... these human emotions.Although if he were a human being and experienced Xiaoli's life, he might become a person like Xiaoli, but he couldn't be a human being, so it was difficult for him to understand.

He spread his other hand.

——On the other hand, there is a vast source of light like stars, floating in the palm of his hand in thousands.These are His "incarnations" in the human world.

"So, please." God looked at these innumerable sources of light: "Continue to show me, everything that human beings can do... I like to see your various 'possibilities'. Every All these possibilities are like a new world line."

He got up, walked through the empty scarlet corridor, brushed his fingers over the golden oil paintings like wax oil, until he walked up to the rooftop - this is the highest place in the world.

From here, he can see the city far away, the cold wind blows his white hair, it is cold, and he thinks of the past for a moment.

Thousands of years ago, He became the brand new God of this world.Everything about the old gods was gradually destroyed and buried.He still remembers that day—the day when the old gods disappeared completely. People raised their heads and sang songs praising the old gods, chanting the names of the old gods loudly over and over again. stories and legends.

In the end, however, He erased everything.

He looked at the whole land in silence, and suddenly there was a voice of overlapping shadows in the starry sky: "God, Su Ming'an decided to continue to open the tower, and he even abducted your goddess."

"I don't want to hear your voice," said the spirit.

"I don't know if Su Ming'an has thought about his final wish. I'm curious about the bet between you and the organizer, which side will win in the end." Die Ying said: "If Su Ming'an really has authority, I am very impressed by his authority. interest. In this way, why don't you give him to me."

"You are the aggressor...he will not be on your side," said the spirit.

"Haha..." Duiying laughed softly.

The gods vaguely saw the dark blue eyes of the overlapping shadows in the starry sky, like a vast sea.

"I'm an invader, aren't you?" Duoying said, "It's just that the methods of destroying the world are different. Do you think you are noble?"

The god stretched out his hand, and a snow-white radiance appeared in the sky. Letters and numbers of various colors quickly combined to form a wide barrier, covering the starry sky in an instant.

The figure of the overlapping shadow disappeared, and there was no sound.

The god took out a stack of papers from his pocket, all of which were Su Mingan's information.He carefully read these materials that he had seen thousands of times, standing for a long time, standing...

For a long time, He sighed in a low voice, as if regretting some irreversible fate.

"Su Ming'an." The spirit whispered, "How many times has it been..."
