"Ping'an Lu, don't you want to know which path is best for you? I can tell you."
Big Mao's sudden "submission" was undoubtedly good news, but Lu Ping'an could hear her uneasiness from it.
Before Lu Ping An responded, he was driven home by Xia Qin, who was ashen-faced, and was sternly told not to go out or open the door.
Judging from Captain Xia's anxious attitude, I'm afraid he won't be able to get a share of the patrol money in the short term.
"...It's a pity that there is less income."
At this moment, Lu Ping An returned to his temporary residence, locked the door, and opened his silver key.
"Why are you so nice all of a sudden? Is that guy here to find you?"
Looking at the blond woman in front of him, Lu Pingan was not surprised.
The golden hair has been dragged to the back of her waist. The princess hair and spiral curls on the back of her head give her a subtle rich lady style. The moon and sun earrings on both ears are a bit exaggerated.
But her appearance controls all of this.
It is no exaggeration to say that just looking at appearance, Chris is the most beautiful woman Lu Pingan has ever seen.
A face as delicate as a doll, calm and elegant lake-colored eyes, and a smile full of compassion and love.
The snow-white silky nun's robe could not cover her perfect and mature figure.
The emblem of the cross on the ancient tree on the chest is classic and full of history. With his hands clasped in a cross and a compassionate smile that he maintains at all times, he looks like a perfect clergyman and a living saint.
In addition to her temperament, her appearance, which is too young and outstanding, seems a bit unreal.
But Lu Ping'an knew that all of this was an illusion.
"Stop that fake smile of yours, it makes me a little sick."
The woman smiled, her sympathetic smile turning into sarcasm.
"Isn't this what you want to see? Isn't this the beauty in the eyes of your short-lived race? I am just a shadow, a concept. Everything you see now is just me, the great Keldares, in your eyes A projection in the mind.”
Kerdales was not born as a human. She even abandoned the so-called material form a long time ago. However, when faced with indescribable objects, humans will instinctively "brain-make up" them and turn them into an image they can understand. , a similar object that fits my past concepts.
Just like the "big cat sacred beast" before, just like the "perfect beauty" now, just like the sacred images of countless good gods and evil gods.
Countless tentacles are stirring under the nun's robe, and under her shadow are twisted evil things that fill the entire garden.
She smiled, infinite evil and shadow overflowed from her feet, and she filled the whole world.
If it weren't for the contract restrictions, if the two sides weren't in a "live and die together" situation now, she would have torn her "master" to pieces.
"Oh oh oh, that's it. If you were used to shoot an AV, wouldn't one person be able to play several female roles?! Oh my god, the idea of making such a profit was only thought of now."
In an instant, the malicious smile solidified.
Kerdales could feel that she was telling the truth!
Under that young man's innocent smile, the bottomless malice was much more excessive than his own!
"...No, after I was observed by you humans, my 'image' was determined. This is my true human form, the incarnation that best suits my body."
The holy beast is scared! Really scared! If he really did it and her series of video tapes were lost to her original world, it would be better to die a dozen or twenty times.
Lu Ping'an smiled and suppressed the opponent's arrogance again. After confirming the master-slave status, he had no intention of continuing to humiliate the big cat.
After all, if I read it correctly, the two parties are now in a cooperative relationship and both want something from each other.
"The case at the crossroads came to you?"
"..."
Taking a deep breath, Chris closed her eyes with a calm expression.
It seems that I am not going to talk about this aspect anymore.
Lu Ping'an nodded. "Silence" itself is also an expression of meaning. It can be regarded as acquiescence that it is the trouble caused by Kerdales.
"Okay, if I'm found out, they're going to kill me?"
"Don't underestimate my followers, death is never the end."
Yes, two people are in the same boat, and they don’t know how to jump even if they want to.
"Will they save you?"
"hehe."
A simple low smile, but with self-deprecation, and contains a lot of content.
"So, you don't want them to find you."
Still silent, Lu Pingan understood everything.
Chris's extremely selfish "evolutionary doctrine", even if it is a cult, does not look like it is cultivating loyal believers.
On the contrary, the clearly stated "survival of the fittest" still seems to appear particularly at the lower level overcoming the upper level, and the teachings even encourage the lower level to overcome the upper level.
But for Lu Ping An, this is good news.
Both sides are now in the same camp, and neither of them wants to be found.
From the moment Chris noticed the crime scene and was willing to help him show the way, Lu Ping'an expected that her attitude would change.
The murder that just happened left behind the cult's sacred icon, which was a way to find "gods" and at the same time, it was also a kind of temptation.
“Why didn’t you contact us?”, “How are you?”, “Why is your contact channel closed?”
If Chris doesn't respond in time, either she can't respond, or her state is so fragile that it's best not to be discovered...
"So, how can we avoid being found?"
"In the face of fate, there is no point in avoiding it."
Lu Ping'an understood instantly, you can't hide.
"So, we have to strike first... Do they have a way to find you?"
"My sacred objects have the vibrations of my soul. There may be two of them locally..."
The two people who were forced to live in the same boat had a rare moment of honesty.
It turns out that Chris left behind two holy objects, which are "holy images" for believers to pray to. As long as they are close enough, they will naturally resonate.
To isolate this resonance, physical distance is not safe. It is best to separate a small world.
"Many high-end secret keeper training institutions, in order to ensure safety, are themselves secret realms."
Now, Lu Ping'an completely understood the reason why Chris took the initiative to show her kindness.
If she enters the ancient city, it will be equivalent to entering a secret realm. Chris's own safety will also be greatly improved. She hopes that she can pass the exam and is willing to show her the way. After all...
"Since we will be exposed sooner or later, the stronger I am, the safer you will be. Helping me means helping yourself. So, can you help me show the way?"
As a person with abilities from the Mother Goddess, only Chris, who knew Lu Ping'an's true identity, had the ability to help him guide him.
What Lu Ping An needs is not just a part-time job that can be done without losing money, but an optimal starting point and main road after a bird's-eye view of the overall situation.
Those who can make this kind of judgment can only be those in high positions who stand as high as possible.
Now, when Lu Pingan's strength is linked to Chrissy's safety, Lu Pingan feels that her opinion can be listened to.
"...You don't know the reality of 'life' at all, let alone what your abilities mean. The way you use your abilities is stupid and inefficient. You simply use the bright sun as a match. In the end, It’s unbearable. You don’t even know what you took away from me! How precious..."
The sourness in his words has overflowed. When he thinks about fate's favor for the other party, when he thinks about the tower he has accumulated for hundreds of years being pushed down by the naughty boy favored by fate, when he thinks about his hundreds of years of savings becoming the other person's. From the beginning, she was very angry.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me, which path is best for me?"
Lu Ping'an didn't want to hear the cultists explain their teachings. He just wanted to know the answer to the tool cat.
The ending was the same as every previous communication. Chris was choked and exploded with anger.
The spiral-curled blond hair stood up in anger, and the original holiness and compassion finally disappeared without a trace. Finally, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"gardener."
Then, she turned into a ball of black mud and disappeared without a trace.
Is this the end of communication? Lu Pingan smiled and returned to the real world.
He opened his own information and took out the reference book with common routes.
Yes, that's the book "Runner?" Watcher? Tamer? Don’t always focus on the popular ones, the one that suits you is the best! How to choose the most suitable starting point for you from fifty-three common paths according to your awakening ability! 》.
"Fortunately, it is there. Since it is a common way, I don't have to hesitate."
"Hey, isn't this the weakest path, the logistics path?"
