"Why?"
When the "Emperor" sent the doctor away, Diego, who was weak on the hospital bed, said, "You may offend the Shanghai Tide Church for this."
He has long since woken up.
I also lay in bed and witnessed the whole process of my companion praying to God the Father.
But he didn't recognize the mechanical creation in front of him. He had only heard people at the port mention him before, and they called him Franken the Weird.
Franken is his name, which happens to be the same as a certain Frankenstein before the Third War.
His deeds were widely circulated in the port. Some said that on the day when the pirates invaded Silvermoon Harbor, he single-handedly fought off all the pirates.
Diego originally thought that Father Gaudel had bribed Franken and that he would send him back to the Church of the Tide, but what he did later confused him. He didn't seem to be in the same group as the Church of the Tide. of.
"Because I'm interested in you, Diego."
The 'Emperor' said, "In this way, you owe me two favors. I believe you are a person who knows how to repay kindness."
Naturally, he cannot be coerced by a group of clergy. Although he still needs them to take him to the Misty Islands, there are many ways to achieve his goal. In addition to inducements, coercion is also a direct and effective method.
But before that, he longed to understand the "Father God" mentioned by Diego and others.
Although his performance is no different from that of an old father who is worried about his children, his abilities are obviously more than that. Under her protection, these orphans have become extremely special beings, among those who lack knowledge of spiritual abilities. In the eyes of the port residents, even if they see these orphans face to face, they will subconsciously ignore the traces of their existence.
This is a typical disruptive psychic energy.
However, if you want to change the perception of the entire port city residents, you need unimaginable psychic strength as support. Even he, a six-star rescuer, is affected by the ability, and the existence of Diego and others is also affected by his ability. was erased from his subconscious mind. He intellectually recognized the existence of these children through reasoning and other means.
As for the three people just now, it was entirely through him that they found Diego.
"Yes, you saved me."
Diego said sincerely.
If it weren't for the existence of Franken, he probably wouldn't know that God the Father would prefer that he continue to live strong.
He had just heard the result of his companion's prayer.
Father God hopes that they will trust the doctors, take more nutrition, and strive for a speedy recovery.
If this is what God the Father wants to see, then he will do his best to survive in this cold world.
"Then now is the time to repay this favor. I am leaving this city. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again in the future."
The 'Emperor' said, "So before leaving this city, I hope you can satisfy my curiosity and tell me who made you aware of the existence of 'Father God' and became her believer?"
In his opinion, whether it is the Lunar Eclipse Sect, the Tidal Church, or the Father God mentioned by these orphans, their essence is to spread faith. This seems to be the unique method of those gods. He guessed that perhaps the number of believers will make Their power grows stronger and stronger.
"I-I don't know."
Diego said, "I just saw them, those voices told me."
"You mean those voices appeared in your head out of thin air?"
The "Emperor"'s eyes suddenly flashed with a red light, but his face, which had been completely replaced by machinery, would no longer show any human expression.
He didn't expect that he would get such an answer.
This simple answer set off a storm in his heart.
As someone who has lived through the dark ages, these whispers are all too familiar to him.
The only thing those prisoners incarcerated in psychic prisons have in common is that they have heard whispers of guidance and followed what they heard.
In the years after the end of the Dark Ages, he has been traveling in the "outside world", secretly investigating the existence of those whispers.
With those prisoners in prison, the Council believed that the dark era was over and the coalition government was about to usher in a new era. However, in the eyes of the "Emperor", what they were exposed to was only the surface, and those whispers came from nowhere. is the real culprit of all this.
But after so many years, he has never been able to find out any news about Whispers.
It seems that with the imprisonment of those prisoners, the whispers have completely disappeared from this world.
"I dream about them when I sleep."
"them?"
"Yes, they are also believers in God the Father."
"What are their characteristics and where are they now?"
The "Emperor"'s tone became much more urgent.
"I don't know. I only know that they all wear masks, the kind of masks that are used at dances. Then they taught me how to contact Father God and told me that Father God would help us get rid of Father Godel's control. .”
This is indeed the case.
Diego didn't know what had happened to them, but when he escaped from the burning ship, he thought that Father Gaudel and his minions would arrest him and torture him to extract confessions, but they and other people at the port did not. Ignoring the existence of himself and the other orphans, he walked straight past them.
This proves that God the Father does care about them and that she is real.
And what she just said proves that she truly cares about the safety of every child.
This strengthened Diego's faith and gave him the motivation to live.
Perhaps one day they will be able to leave this port that carries their sad past and have the opportunity to witness the existence of God the Father with their own eyes.
For believers, being able to see her presence is an unparalleled gift.
"How do I find them?"
The "Emperor" didn't want to let go of any clues that pointed to the whispers.
The orphans in these ports have not experienced that dark and turbulent era, and they have no idea what those whispers mean.
Perhaps another dark age has begun before his eyes.
Or maybe...
These children are the "control", "justice", and δ of this era.
From the moment they heard the whisper, the course of their lives changed.
"We will contact you."
The moment the "Emperor" heard this voice, the operating system in his mind automatically entered combat warning mode.
No one else was ever in the room.
This sentence came out of Diego's mouth, but he looked confused, as if he didn't know what he just said.
That was definitely not Diego's voice.
"If that's what you want."
And those whispers continued, penetrating his hearing system and reaching his mind, "We will come for you, fallen man."
