"Father, why did you say such things to that young man? Prince Edsac just mentioned it before, so you don't need to be so concerned about it, right?" Hibbert Hall asked with some confusion and curiosity. .
"Nothing." Earl Hall replied:
"It's just that this can make the professor who is still unknown feel a little grateful to us."
"The goodwill we have shown is the least valuable bargaining chip we can offer."
…
Klein was busy dealing with the various elites who flocked to him because of Earl Hall's words, and he couldn't help but secretly complain. He looked at the people in front of him and wiped the sweat slowly forming on his head.
It's really, really passionate... It's just a word, so what... Klein thought this, feeling a little happy and a little tired. When the people here dispersed, he looked at the curly-haired young man walking in front of him and couldn't help but ask:
"you are?"
"I am a family." Amon pushed up his monocle and said to Klein with a smile: "I saw that so many people came to communicate with you at this banquet, so I just wanted to ask you some questions. , is that okay?”
"Of course." Klein raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised. The literary workers he had seen before were all eager to get to know him, and this was just because of the two sentences Earl Hall just said.
This gave Klein a greater understanding of the power of this world—no, not just in this world close to modern Britain, but in any world!
The person in front of him opened his mouth to ask Klein a question, rather than pursuing utilitarianism, which made Klein suddenly feel a little more favorable to him. Although he knew that this might be just words, the gene of "becoming a teacher" buried deep in the human body still played its role. Klein said with a smile: "Please sit down, let's talk while eating."
"Okay." Amon observed "Professor Moriarty" and endured the instinctive action of directly parasitizing him; while looking at the food shelf next to him - he rarely eats human food, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Pick.
According to the content written in "How to Get Along with People", which was recommended to him by the alien god before, "Series of Books on Gods Disguising Humans", if you want to have a good relationship with people and get the news you want, you must first do similar things. Just fine. Just like Professor Moriarty in front of me went to get a dessert, he should also want those things.
Of course, the premise is that you don't use extraordinary abilities.
Just when Amon was about to grab a dessert and leave, he heard Klein beside him say gently: "If you don't have anything in particular you want to eat, I recommend you try the lemon cake over there. It's delicious. It still tastes good.”
Amon was startled: "Ah, thank you."
After saying that, He took a piece of lemon cake, turned around and sat next to Klein. He looked at Klein, who was sipping sweet iced tea and cutting a cake, and sat up slightly as instructed in the book.
This is also a quite novel experience for Amon. He has never communicated with such a weak human being on an equal footing before - although he can see that Professor Moriarty in front of him has reached sequence seven, but In front of Amon's eyes, he was no different from ordinary people.
It's just a matter of one moment of parasitism or two moments of parasitism.
But what I have to say is that Amon's learning ability is indeed outstanding. In just a few days, the God of Deception has adjusted his speech to be almost like that of an ordinary human being. In terms of disguise, Amon ranks high even among the gods.
He pondered for a moment, looked into Klein's eyes, and asked: "If you could avoid danger by hurting others when you encountered danger, would you choose to do so?"
Amon felt that since the professor in front of him was so popular, he must have merit. It just so happened that Amon thought he could use him to test what "humanity" really meant.
Klein was stunned - he never thought that this family would ask such a question.
Klein considered it for a moment and said tentatively in a half-joking tone: "You are not going to write my answer in here, are you? Or are you a reporter here for an interview?"
Klein had to guard against being investigated. After all, his identity could not withstand scrutiny by others. As long as he went to Tingen City, he could easily find his face and that of "Klein Mo," who worked as a night watcher in Tingen City. Reti" look alike. And if he found out that Benson and Melissa were also brought to Backlund through his connections, he would be even more happy.
At that time, Klein may have to consider whether to abscond with his family.
How come no one believes me when I tell the truth... Such thoughts flashed through Amon's mind, and he shook his head gently: "No, I just want to know what other people will do."
It seems that this young man may have encountered some problems and is troubled... Has he experienced related choices? Klein guessed the thoughts of the person in front of him and said to Amon: "I will try to avoid danger, but I will not actively harm innocent people. Even if that may put me in danger, it is against the law. My true heart.”
"Even if we face the mockery of fate, we can't give up or hurt innocent people..." Klein pushed the monocle on his left eye that was about to slip off and said to Amon in front of him. He subconsciously expressed his feelings when playing the "clown", which was also his deepest understanding.
"Haha, this sentence is really like what those nagging soothsayers can say." Amon thought of Zaratul and Antigonus and said casually. But under this sentence, Klein's vigilance couldn't help but be aroused. After experiencing various things, he is now particularly sensitive to the name of his sequence.
"Do you have any more questions?" Klein continued to ask on the surface, but in fact he was ready to end the conversation. He vaguely felt that the young man in front of him might be an extraordinary person, and he felt a little uneasy about this person who did not know his purpose.
"Yes." Amon nodded and asked Klein in front of him: "What I want to ask is:"
"If to your life you add something important enough to you; and on the other side of the scale are the lives and interests of people you don't know. To choose between the two, you give up. which one?"
Klein fell silent.
He put down the knife and fork in his hand and was silent for two seconds. After thinking deeply, he raised his head and said:
"You're giving me a hard time."
"I don't know what I would do if I didn't encounter this kind of thing."
Klein took a deep breath and solemnly said to the curly-haired young man in front of him: "But for now, I will try to give priority to saving the people I care about, but I will not trade innocent lives for mine. Benefits. Even if I sacrifice, I will not choose to sacrifice others."
"Is this the answer you got after weighing your reason and emotions?" Hearing Klein's answer, Amon felt a little unbelievable. He asked: "Are you willing to give up your life? Without life, other things will There’s no meaning anymore.”
Amon couldn't help but feel disgusted with this so-called "human nature" - could this really help him? Want Him to give up His life to save others? This is a bit ridiculous.
"It's just that some things are more important than life." Klein sighed: "When you feel that something is more important than your own life, you will naturally choose that more important thing. Some people may feel that their lives are more important. It’s not shameful.”
"For me, if that day comes, when I have to make a choice..."
Klein recalled the time when he fought against the divinity of the True Creator in Tingen.
"Then my life is just a necessary sacrifice."
Amon suddenly understood the professor's understanding of human nature. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly and he whispered:
"interesting……"
"Even people who are not tainted by divinity will choose what is more important to them. This is no different from mythical creatures."
"Of course, I don't know, and I don't care what is important to those humans. But why does my father know it, and why does he think that only by understanding this can he understand what human nature is? Isn't my father a born mythical creature? Isn't he separated? Was he already a god when he walked out of the 'Sea of Chaos'?"
"I need to know more about human beings. Although most of them are stupid, some of them are really interesting. They can make such a choice after thinking rationally..."
"Perhaps I can choose a low-sequence Beyonder."
Thinking of this, Amon raised his head and looked at Klein in front of him. He stretched out his hand and held Klein's hand: "Thank you very much. I have relieved many doubts now... Well, what is your name?"
"Sherlock, Sherlock Moriarty. I am a history professor." Klein smiled and asked politely: "What is your name?"
"Ah, my name is Amon, a master." Amon narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Judging from your reaction, you seem to know me?"
Klein's whole body stiffened. He naturally knew about Amon. He was one of the dangerous high-sequencers Gao Wei had told him before that he needed to pay attention to! It’s just that Klein didn’t expect that the person in front of him who looked nothing like Amon would actually be——
Klein subconsciously wanted to break free from Amon's grasp, but he held his wrist tightly, making it impossible for Klein to break free. Amon pushed up his monocle, took off the monocle from Klein's face, and wanted to put it on his right eye!
Although in order to avoid the sight of others, this Amon's sequence has not yet reached the level of demigod and has no ability to parasitize. But he can use the "right eye monocle", a mystical connection that belongs to the "angel of time", to allow his body to complete the parasitism!
He wanted to know what secrets this person who knew him had!
Klein's pupils suddenly tightened. He snapped his fingers, and the match in his lining pocket immediately ignited, and the lights in the distance were distorted for a moment. The spell made with the divinity of the "True Creator" that he had previously exchanged for the privileges of the Beloved was instantly activated, causing Amon's head to be enveloped in black airflow, and his brain stagnated for a moment.
His figure suddenly appeared at the table more than twenty meters away, knocking over an entire row of shelves! Klein didn't have time to think about the consequences of this, so he used flame jumps continuously to prepare to leave the scene.
At this moment, Klein felt a familiar sense of wakefulness. Just now, he was dragged into a dream by an Beyonder of the "dark night" path! But in an instant, the dream disappeared.
Klein rolled around on the ground and hurriedly looked at the guests around him. Their movements became slow and stiff, as if they were immersed in a sweet dream. A pair of cold eyes stared at Klein, causing Klein's body to tremble.
"Captain..." Klein smiled bitterly, snapped his fingers, and disappeared with the burning flames. Just as Dunn was about to give chase, he found an old man patting him on the shoulder: "No need to chase, Dunn, he is a member of the church."
"But..." Dunn wanted to retort. He had just clearly felt the divine aura of the "True Creator" from that person.
Dunn, who had been tainted by the True Creator, knew very well how the divinity of the True Creator felt. But Dunn watched as the Archbishop of Backlund, Anthony Stevenson of Sequence Three, used his body to block other people's sight, tapped his chest four times, and drew a "Crimson Moon" shape.
"It's secret."
Anthony said softly. After listening to the Archbishop's words, Dunn seemed to understand something. He was silent for a while and prepared to deal with the guests who saw the Extraordinary. Since the Archbishop said so, they must give "Moriarty" Professor" to cover.
Anthony took out a stiff and dead "worm of time" from the young man's mouth, and looked thoughtfully at Leonard, who was standing in front of him with a pale face. He recited something in a low voice, preparing to carry out the goddess's oracle.
Leonard did not expect that Amon, whom Pales had just mentioned, was by his side.
It was not only Klein who was frightened, but also Leonard and Palles.
…
A place abandoned by God.
"I think Klein is about to be completely abducted by the Aurora Society." Amanysis looked at the True Creator and said softly. The True Creator silently returned to the state of the Hanged Man and changed the direction of his cross.
"Go find the High-Dimensional Overlooker." After a long silence, the True Creator said, "It has nothing to do with me, I didn't abduct him."
"...I mean, let Klein also have a name in the Church of the Night." Amanisis put his hands in front of himself and stared at the true creator's scarlet one-eye: "We have to continue to bet, otherwise He may fall towards the stars under the spell of the outer gods.”
"Even if He comes from the same hometown as us, I don't dare to bet on how much humanity is left in His heart."
"It's even possible that we and He have different definitions of human nature."
"……I know."
The true Creator’s voice was deep: “It’s about to begin.”
Amanisis nodded and looked into the distance, quietly dissipating in the darkness.
