greek gods in new york

11

It's a pity that Rocky can't go back to the hotel with the face of a big Nordic beauty.

The energy of the outer gods was transformed into "divine power" in my body, and then Loki turned back into the 15-year-old Aragorn again.

So let me harvest a fact -

The purpose of Zeus coming to the door was for the energy of the Outer God.

After returning to the hotel, I directly picked up the project book of the Lazarus Project.

I don’t know if it’s because I had a conclusion in advance, or because I subconsciously heard other information inside the “that thing” and I didn’t realize it. In short, this time I was dizzy and watched for a long time, skipping the equations and formulas I didn’t understand. The data went straight to the conclusion, and I probably understood the content of the project book:

The purpose of the New God to launch the Lazarus Project is to collect the energy of "that thing" and use it for his own use.

However, "that thing" has no direct connection with the real world, and it has no entity in the sense of a three-dimensional world.For a long time, the new gods have discovered only human beings possessed by "that thing", and the energy possessed by these human beings is only a small part.

I was thinking that what possessed human beings might be the white mist that condensed human figures that I encountered several times before.

What the new gods want is definitely not this little bit of energy.

They hope that the body of "that thing" can directly connect with the real world.

This requires a container that can store all the energy of the body and is completely controllable.

Judging from the project book, before the project base exploded, the new gods tried many methods, but to no avail.

It was my dad who succeeded in the end.

Thinking about it now, my dad's thinking should be quite simple.

He used the old trick from Greek mythology.

The child born from the combination of a god and a titan will always be a god, not a giant.

So, what about God's union with "that thing"?

My existence can prove that the offspring born are still gods, not "that thing".

And my dad also paid the price for my birth like the sacrificial ceremony made in the old days.

Seeing this, I closed the project book with mixed feelings.

I believe that my father and mother did not conceive me entirely for the purpose of having a container.

but--

Zeus came to me, definitely because I can accept the energy of other gods and transform it into divine power.

This is what the so-called "restore the glory of the old gods" means!

The old stuff is as selfish and treacherous as ever.

In Greek mythology, Zeus can use everyone around him, even blood relatives, as tools for his own selfish desires.

It's the 21st century, and it's 2018. The old gods should find a job, find a job, get divorced, and start a new life. Only he has always kept his original intention and hasn't changed at all!

"hateful……"

I threw the project book aside and lay on my back directly on the bed.

The petri dish placed at the foot of the bed felt the vibration of the bed, and the BB inside opened his eyes, leaned over the edge of the "glass" and squeaked at me.

Since its energy storage is full, the little guy is reluctant to change back to the model easily.

I turned to look at the baby in the petri dish.

Meeting my eyes, BB giggled loudly.

My dear grandpa doesn't have a conscience like a little guy!

Looking at the giggling BB, I couldn't help thinking that the video game god didn't seem to have joined the Lazarus Project from the very beginning.

BB is just recently developed.

Rocky said that BB is also a fetus conceived by humans after "that thing" possessed.

It's the same as mine, except there isn't an Old God daddy.

Thinking about it this way, I can't help feeling a little close to the little guy.

"This must be Hideo Kojima's conspiracy."

I mutter under my breath, then reach over the edge of the petri dish.

BB also stretched out his hand, across the "glass", trying to touch my fingers.

"I thought you were scary at first," I said, "but now you're not scary at all."

BB in the petri dish blinked.

I wanted to say something more, but just as I opened my mouth, there was a knock on the door.

"Nicole?"

Through the door, Meryl's muffled voice came: "Are you asleep?"

As soon as she spoke, the lively BB seemed to be taken aback, "Wow", and then the always active little boy immediately changed back to the state of the plastic model.

"not yet!"

I stood up like a carp, and quickly hid the BB and the project book: "Here we come!"

After opening the door, Meryl in pajamas came into view.

With our years of friendship, I knew what Meryl was thinking right away without needing to tell her.

I asked: "NS online?"

Meryl helped the frame of the mirror, and sighed: "Come and chat with me."

Yeah.

Ever since Loki became a demon, Meryl has been very angry.

I haven't talked to her about it yet.

Meryl is still listless, and I understand her mood very well.

My green plum usually seems to have a good temper and can be manipulated by others, but in fact her personality is somewhat paranoid.

She just wants to win the game in a proper manner, everyone competes fairly, and there is nothing wrong with it.Even if you didn't make it to the end, if you lost halfway, it was only because your skills were inferior to others.

Winning is winning, losing is losing, just like a game, it's that simple.

After Rocky made a big fuss, even though the competition admitted that we won under pressure, everyone will receive too much attention that shouldn't be given. The game is not such a direct matter of winning or losing.

"I won't make things difficult for you."

Meryl sat down and said earnestly: "Kainas is also your friend, and it must be difficult for you to be a man among them."

Me: "Meimei—"

Meryl hesitated for a moment: "It's just..."

I hurriedly said: "You can just say it, there is nothing we two can't say."

"I just don't think you should listen to him in everything," Meryl whispered bluntly, "You have your own life, Nicole, and no one should help you make decisions."

Ok.

It's not technically Loki making decisions for me.

It's just that Meryl doesn't know anything about the gods, so it seems that I listen to what Loki says.

The course planning is like this, the choice of majors is like this, and even participating in the knowledge competition is also arranged by Rocky.

I hesitated to speak: "It's not what you think, I actually—"

"actually?"

When the words came to my lips, I didn't know how to speak.

What I want to say is that, in fact, I have long wanted to tell you everything.

Meryl and I grew up together, how good is our relationship?

Because of the proximity, things like this often happen when I wear a nightgown and knock on my door.

Not only does she come to me, I have something on my mind, or I can't fall asleep after watching a horror movie, and I also go to Meryl in the middle of the night with my pillow in my arms.

Although according to Greek mythology, my father should have a few cheap sons, but they never appeared.

Growing up, I always accepted that I was an only child, and Meryl was my sister who was not related by blood.

Meryl didn't know anything about my parentage.

I used to call myself an ordinary person before, and it’s okay if I don’t say anything.

After so many things happened, I still didn't tell her anything, and I felt extremely guilty.

Originally, I thought that I should discuss it with Loki, or at least with Fernando before explaining it to Meryl.

but now--

Fuck it, I thought.

The old gods have bad intentions, Loki's motive is unknown, why ask them what they think?

As for Fernando, Fernando will definitely not be wary of Meryl, he will definitely understand my decision.

Can't I still tell my friends who I really trust!

With that in mind, I made up my mind.

"Meryl," I became serious, "I want to tell you something, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Ok?"

Seeing the change in my expression, Meryl couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

She straightened her spine: "You, you said, get ready."

I took a deep breath.

After living for 16 years, this is the first time I mentioned my life experience to my friends.

Where should I start?

"I……"

I weighed my words: "I'm actually not an ordinary person."

Meryl: "Go ahead."

Me: "Don't be scared, I'm actually a descendant of a Greek god."

The voice fell, and the room fell into a moment of silence.

As far as I understand, Meryl probably wouldn't say things like "You're dreaming" or "You've played too many games."

But looking at me silently like this is not a good reaction either.

Meryl and I looked at each other for a moment before she realized I was waiting for her to respond.

"Ah, oh."

Meryl nodded: "And then?"

I:"……"

Wait a moment.

Before she was shocked, I was shocked first.

"Aren't you surprised?!" I asked.

"why?"

From Meryl's reaction, it looked like I was making a fuss.

She tilted her head in a daze: "I've known for a long time that you are not an ordinary person."

I:"…………"

Meryl: "Nicole, don't you think I'm a fool? The sudden transfer student, the Hollywood star who gave you roses, and the mysterious bosses who appeared one after another after the arrival of Kainas, and the alley that day Strange things — no matter how you think about it, it’s not something that would appear around ordinary people.”

I:"………………"

I know that Meryl's brain circuits are different, and she will definitely understand me.

But I didn't expect Meryl to understand it so smoothly.

She even knew it earlier!

"You didn't tell me, and I didn't ask. I think you should have your own troubles." Meryl continued to speak very considerately, "I thought about your special abilities, or joining a mysterious organization or something like that." …It’s the same as in sci-fi movies and games. I didn’t expect it to be me, it’s my imagination, it’s not sci-fi, it’s fantasy.”

Ok.

Talking to A Zhai is easy to understand!

Meryl is frank and frank, which made all my previous entanglements seem a bit dark and humorous.

"So."

Seeing that I was speechless, she asked enthusiastically, "Which god are you a descendant of... Wait, so Uncle John is not an ordinary person! Wow, I knew it!"

It takes a lot of talking to explain the old gods and new gods.

But before that...

My eyes turned to the cabinet where BB was hidden.

"Wait a minute," I said, "I'll show you something."

"what?"

Meryl is a diehard Hideo Kojima fan, I wish the whole school knew about it.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know the things and works of this game producer well.

So, when I took out the petri dish from the cabinet and showed Meryl the living BB that was exactly the same as in the game——

Meryl looked at BB with an exaggerated expression, as if she saw a newborn baby after the extinction of human beings.

Very good, I get [-]% back
