Merit Book·Xinghai

When the finale of the Holy Light Ceremony reached the most exciting part, Rong Yuan walked out of the box, and then closed the door behind him, shutting down the strong smell of blood, the bright red on the ground, and the angry and puzzled howls of the dying man. behind.

The hallway was empty.

In fact, there are many robots and waiters shuttling between floors on the viewing platform at this time, providing various services to the guests in each box.However, with the help of the laid out mental power net, Rong Yuan returned to his box without meeting anyone.

When he left before, he poured a cup of hot tea and put it on the table, and the tea was completely cold at this time.Rong Yuan pushed it away, then put an egg-sized ellipsoidal instrument on the table, and pressed the switch on it, the instrument rotated slowly, releasing a light and shadow in the air.In the light and shadow, it was the phantom of a well-dressed middle-aged man in the conference hall just now. He looked ahead, as if he was looking at Rong Yuan, and calmly and solemnly described the organization's origin, purpose, members, past years The major events he participated in, how much he has done for the organization, and so on.If a second person heard what he said, he would definitely think that this person was crazy, because what he said was enough for him to be sentenced to the Red Prison Star and sit in prison until he died.

However, the man didn't seem to know how shocking what he said was. He broke out one shock after another in a slow manner, not caring how many people he said would offend, and how many prominent people would be dragged into hell.

A threat of "a bad death" is actually not enough to make a person a warrior regardless of the consequences.Those who participated in the meeting in the private room are mostly pampered people, who have ruined countless families for reasons such as the order of the organization or grabbing benefits, but they also have lovers, children, and people who do not want to be hurt anyway, so when As soon as Rong Yuan's words came out of their mouths, even though they knew there was no hope in their hearts, they still tried desperately or decided to kill themselves.

However, under the circumstances that Rong Yuan had expected, these struggles seemed so powerless, and did not cause any ripples at all.

In fact, Rong Yuan didn't expect these people to obey the situation immediately after being threatened by him, and he was not interested in using some cruel punishment to make them confess in fear and suffering, but directly sacrificed the merit mall The big killer in the movie - Veritaserum.

——As long as people drink a few drops, they can make them know everything without saying anything, and it will not damage people's spirits and make people tranced, but it is clear and logical, as usual. It is not obvious that this person is in a state of taking medicine.A small bottle of Veritaserum only needs [-] merit points, but it can easily destroy the spiritual defense of the most resolute person. It can be said to be a model of high quality and low price.

At first, Rong Yuan's attitude towards this organization was very peaceful.Although the existence of this secret organization has been noticed for a long time, this form of community of interests exists in many planets, and this one in Landia is not new, Rong Yuan only let go after a little understanding.

When he was sniped by that organization by all means, Rong Yuan didn't have the habit of indulging the enemy in attacking, but what he wanted was to kill the culprit, and the follower depends on the situation.

The real intention to kill them and decide not to keep any of them was when they heard Emirida's name not long ago.There are only a few people who Rong Yuan cares about after a long time.Seeing these people staring at Emirida, Rong Yuan felt a murderous intent in an instant.

And through the interrogation of these people, Rong Yuan felt that it was not for personal enmity, but for justice, and the people in this organization deserved to die.

But those in the box were not all.There are three people with the highest status in the organization. Only one person is present in the conference hall, and the other two are elsewhere. One of them is Lance next to Serinda.In addition, although everyone in this organization is a leader in a certain field, not everyone will receive an invitation letter for the Holy Light Ceremony. Therefore, there are still some fish that slipped through the net and wander outside.

Outside the window, grand and melodious bells rang, accompanied by countless goose-feather-like flakes of snowflakes slowly falling, and the Holy Light ceremony came to an end.Countless people cheered and hugged each other, celebrating the time span to the new year.

The observation deck suspended in the air slowly descended, and the dance party on the eighteenth floor had just begun.At this time, most people will leave their boxes and participate in the dance.But there are also some people who choose to leave because of other circumstances.

Rong Yuan put away the camera, put on his cloak, and walked out with the crowd.

Leaving the protective cover of the viewing platform, the cold of the winter night seemed to invade the bone marrow and immediately hit from all directions. Rong Yuan was not afraid of the cold, but subconsciously wrapped his cloak.His slender fingers rested on the black cloak, showing a cold luster like jade.

He looked up at the sky, but he couldn't see anything other than the snowflakes all over the sky, but he looked intently for a while as if staring at something, and then walked forward.Soft snowflakes piled on his hood and shoulders, and after a while, his whole body seemed to be submerged in ice and snow.

After the Holy Light ceremony, Landia entered the coldest season of the year, and even the Landia people with strong cold tolerance could not bear such severe cold.In addition, today is the annual Holy Light Festival. People are either enjoying the warm moments of reunion with their families under the warm yellow lights, or indulging in the feasting and feasting on various banquet and dance floors. Few people go out.

When Rong Yuan left the viewing platform, there were still pedestrians coming out in twos and threes to watch the Holy Light Ceremony.Then along the way, there were fewer and fewer people, and when he turned the fifth block, there was no other pedestrian in sight on the road except him.

The goose feather snow covered all traces, and even if someone looked out of his window, he could hardly see someone walking by on the road.Landia's surveillance camera is still working, and there are settings to block the interference of ice and snow, but in the surveillance camera, the place where Rong Yuan is is empty.

On the second floor of the flower shop where the gate has been closed, the lights are dimmed, and the flickering light from outside the window shines in, reflecting the dark outlines of some furniture, which looks a little scary.In a corner of the room, Alpha, who used himself as a trash can, squatted next to a flower pot. In the camera, a small red light flashed at a very high frequency, which appeared brighter and more dazzling than usual.

..........................................................................................

In a room that is closed on all sides and completely isolated from outside sound and light, a TV that occupies two-thirds of the wall is hung on a clean white wall.This TV is not only big, but also thin, as thin as paper, with a slightly curved plane, which can bring people a better viewing experience.

On the TV screen, the grand performance of the Holy Light Ceremony is being played.After the performance, the camera shakes for a moment and quickly sweeps across the party on the No.18 floor of the observation deck. Although we know that the audience is more interested in the ball, this kind of picture has never been allowed to report in detail.Therefore, after the flashing picture, the hostess of the news briefly introduced two clichés, and then began to play the holiday greetings of some of the empire's celebrities interviewed beforehand.

After a few faces familiar to the people of the empire brushed their presence on the TV, an old man with white hair and beard appeared on the screen.He has a peaceful and kind smile on his face, every crease is full of happiness and contentment, when the camera turns to him, he seems to have heard someone's reminder, he first smiles to the side and nods, then looks at the camera , showing a more contagious smile.

"Thank you, thank you friends who cared about me." The old man said with a smile on his face, his voice choked with sobs, "Since I was accidentally exiled to the Red Hell Star, it has been 200 years since I have participated in the Holy Light Festival..."

The old man on the screen recalls the past, and his face is full of vicissitudes of life, but what is rare is that there is no resentment in his speech, but full of gratitude and insight into the world; I have suffered so much, but I feel proud of the great changes in the empire and feel proud of the strength and prosperity of the country.His tone was sincere, as if everything he said came from the heart, which moved countless viewers on the star network.

However, the audience in front of the TV was not moved at all. He even sneered, full of disdain and contempt.

This spectator has white beard and hair, and deep wrinkles. Although he is old, his body has not aged along with it. His burly body seems to contain powerful strength.But his limbs and neck are surrounded by silver metal rings, which feel very abrupt.

Most importantly, this viewer looks exactly like the old man on TV!

On a chair not far from the old man sat a slim man with slender eyebrows and long eyes. He was reading a paper book with his legs crossed, his slightly curly hair hanging down. On the forehead, it appears soft and harmless.

Hearing the laughter, the man looked away from the book, glanced at the audience sitting on the sofa, and said softly, "General Luca, what makes you find it funny?"

General Luca glanced at him and said, "What could be more ridiculous than myself?"
