Let the whole universe drop SAN together

When the commotion broke out outside the church, Bishop Shelley of Port Yarpley was kneeling in front of the statue and praying to the god he believed in.

People's panicked cries and cries for help came to his ears through the thick walls, and he didn't know who was chanting the name of God loudly outside.Wearing a complicated and gorgeous robe, the beautiful young man with long water-blue hair sighed, closed the scriptures in his hand, stood up and walked to the gate of the church.

"Come in and rest, children." His eyes swept over the panicked crowds who were wearing black cloaks or just passing by, and pressed his thin fingers on the tall stone gate, "God will surely forgive you for being lost for a while, so No need to worry, just relax here and go home to wait for the news."

The decayed dead branches and fallen leaves were mixed in the soil, and O'Casey Griffin closed her eyes unconsciously, as if falling into an eternal sleep.And Azathoth stood in front of him, like a raven sitting next to a rotting corpse with his head bowed, gathering his purple-black feathers, and staring at the prey that was dying with dark and cold eyes. .

He heard Ford's question, but he just tilted his head slightly, with a kind of inadvertent arrogance, his straight back didn't move, and he was naturally silent.

The blond-haired young man felt the gaze from the corner of his eye that didn't contain any warmth, and his hand holding the weapon tightened, restraining the urge to retreat and hide.

The stars of the galaxy where Port Yarpley was located had risen to the very center of the sky, spreading heat evenly, but they could not warm the shadow cast by this iron giant forgotten by mankind.His exposed skin touched the wet mist, which surrounded his body maliciously, forming a pale dark frost on the tips of his hair and eyelashes.

After a long time, the man in the cloak standing next to O'Casey finally spoke: "Glory in the world is often born in sin."

"I am practicing the moral code of your race: all friends shall be rewarded for their fidelity, and all enemies shall be tasted of their sinful cup*."

Ford felt that his teeth were about to be frozen, and it took him a lot of effort to speak out the words: "...but you have no right to judge him."

The youth under the hood seemed to be amused: "Then who can have this power? You?"

"It's not me, but it won't be you." Ford tensed his muscles. "Federal law exists for this."

"But in fact—" the black-haired, red-eyed boy sitting cross-legged on the container suddenly interjected, "According to the data on the Star Network, in the area of ​​Port Yarplais alone, an average There will be a vulnerable group of people who are bullied in every way you can imagine. But if I understand correctly, federal law classifies them as a potential second class, and many of the regulations are not properly implemented and maintained.”

"Take this Mr. O'Casey Griffin before us. Do you know what he did?"

"He killed 89 human beings with his own hands. In addition, he covered up the illegal and criminal act of human trafficking. Countless families were torn apart because of him, and countless children were indirectly killed by him."

"According to the law of more than 500 years ago, there is no doubt that he will be sentenced to death."

"But now the federal government should not have this criminal law, and this gentleman comes from an extremely prestigious family, so Mr. Ford Hill, now comes the problem."

"Do you think if we let him go, he will get the punishment he deserves?"

Every time Hugo said a word, Ford's face turned paler.But he still insisted: "I will work hard to make him accept legal sanctions, and many people in the Federation will do their best for this."

"But no matter how damned O'Casey Griffin is, he didn't deserve to be lynched by you."

——Even if it is divine punishment.

Ford didn't say this, but he was almost certain that Azathoth was not human.The difference in species made his supposedly complete preparations suddenly seem hasty, but the young man didn't have the slightest thought of retreating and evading.

Azathoth tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then asked abruptly, "You knew Igor before?"

Igor quickly answered: "Yes, but our relationship is not very good."

Is the subtext not to care about the attitude of one's relatives?

Azathoth found it a bit interesting—he clearly felt that Igor actually agreed with Ford on this matter.Before the commentator arrived, he looked at O'Casey with hesitant eyes, full of disgust and contempt, but not murderous.

However, after Ford's arrival, he doesn't seem to be ready to stand against the gods?

Ford glanced sideways at Igor, and said with a fake smile: "Yeah, the relationship is not very good, so are you reminding me to report your whereabouts to the police?"

"You'd better not do this." Azathoth said calmly, "I guess you have been paying attention to the news related to Igor. Then you should also know what the Griffin family did to him before the trial An invisible act that violates federal law?"

Both Ford and Igor were stunned for a moment.

Igor: "You mean..."

Ford: "I know." He said coldly, "I know that the Griffin family executed Marshal Sullivan privately before the trial out of personal grievances."

Igor's fingers twitched, the feeling of displaying the old embarrassment in front of everyone was uncomfortable.He leaned back awkwardly to lean on something, but there was nothing around him.So Igor had no choice but to fold his arms and said with a wandering look in his eyes: "It's been a long time...it's actually not very serious."

Ford didn't look sideways: "Sooner or later, I will write about their family's bad news in news reports, even if they are barely half relatives of the founding fathers and emperors. Huh, anyway, it's not the feudal era tens of thousands of years ago. ...Of course, the premise is that if I can survive after today."

At this moment, a tentacle came out silently, gently stroking Igor's back.

Azathoth's original intention was to appease him, but when he was caught off guard, the sensitivity of Igor's spine made him tremble like an electric shock.The gray-haired youth subconsciously stretched his hand behind his back and grabbed the tentacle that was moving around.The result of his conditioned reflex was that he used seven or eight percent of his strength for a certain movement, but before Igor realized his omission, he relaxed and retracted his hand, the tentacle struggled in his palm, and then softly The tip of the tentacle rubbed against his palm like a feather.

"..."

Igor pursed his lips, let go of his hands, pretended nothing happened, and stared ahead.

It seemed to vaguely hear Azathoth's not-so-good laughter.

"You misunderstood my words." On the other side, Azathoth said to Ford, "The so-called 'all enemies will taste the bitter cup of their sins' does not mean that he violated the laws made by humans."

"And literally: He's my 'enemy' now."

"..."

Ford didn't expect to hear such words, and what he was about to say suddenly choked in his throat.

Before he figured out why Azathoth raised the relationship between him and O'Casey Griffin to the level of 'enemies', he saw that the other party was standing two meters away from O'Casey Griffin , using a tentacle to directly and rudely hang the person on the ground by the neck.

Hugo propped his chin and poured down a bucket of cold water from a height.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Ford's heart stopped beating for a second, his face suddenly changed, and he said in shock, "Don't kill him yet!!"

However, except for Igor beside him, no one gave him any attention.

O'Casey Griffin woke up coughing, stretched out her hand to grab the tentacles on her neck, and barely opened her eyes while twitching and struggling.At the same time, Azathoth took half a step forward, taking off his hood for the first time in full view.

Ford only felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and he could no longer bear the sense of crisis that seemed to lose his life in the next second, and his eyes were bloodshot red due to excessive tension.He let out a low growl, and before the nerves in his brain reacted, his cold and stiff fingers pressed the trigger on the tentacle hanging O'Casey.
