After that, Fang Zheng and his companions were arranged to stay in the reception room of the castle. It is conceivable that this would be a very difficult day for those dead people, but Fang Zheng did not care. On the contrary, after arriving at the guest room, he sat on the sofa, stroking the kitten with one hand and reading a newspaper he picked up from the side.

Instead, the other girls were discussing the matter.

"What do you think they will choose?"

"I don't know, but I always feel it's hard to say..."

"They should agree to Mr. Fang Zheng's request, right? If they don't, they will all be burned to death!"

"But to them, we are outsiders after all. Suddenly asking them to make such a decision..."

"Oh, I'm really worried..."

The girls were talking about it, but looking at Fang Zheng who was petting a cat and reading a newspaper nearby, Misaka Mikoto was also very angry.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, aren't you nervous at all?"

"Why am I nervous?"

Fang Zheng answered casually as he flipped through the newspaper.

"The sword and the olive branch have been handed over. Now it depends on the choice they make. Once they make the choice, they will have to bear the consequences."

"But, but, maybe they just didn't think of it, or maybe they decided to take a gamble..."

"I told you, Misaka."

Fang Zheng interrupted Misaka Mikoto's defense and stared at her.

"Everyone has to bear the consequences of their choices, regardless of the cause, process, or motivation. These are not important. The same goes for you. Don't forget that the choices you made also led to the current results."

“……!”

Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto's face suddenly turned pale and she couldn't help but gasp. She knew what Fang Zheng was referring to. She had provided her DNA profile in order to treat those children who couldn't walk. However, in the end, these DNA profiles appeared in front of her again in the most nightmarish form.

Sisters.

That was definitely not Misaka Mikoto's original intention. She had never even thought about it that way, but the moment she agreed, the consequence of all this was what she faced.

"Well, speaking of which..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Riri Saotome immediately tried to change the subject.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, you actually said that you are a god. I was really shocked."

"Why, don't you think I look like that?"

"Because, gods are supposed to be high above, looking down on the world, not like you..."

"Gods are not idols. We don't need to package ourselves like idols according to the fans' ideas. What those believers think is their business. It's none of our business."

Having said this, Fang Zheng turned another page of the newspaper.

"Remember, it's different from idols. Idols will be doomed without fans, so they have to do everything they can to please their fans. But gods are different. If people ask gods for something, they have to accept the existence of gods. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just not ask. We are just mortals. Do you think gods care about what they think? Because what you think gods should be like, go and daydream."

"Wow, it makes sense when you put it that way..."

Hearing this, Riri Saten showed a speechless expression, and Misaka Mikoto and Alisa didn't know what to say for a moment. Although it did sound overbearing at first, it was true when you think about it carefully. The gods do not ask for anything from mortals, but mortals ask for anything from the gods. How can someone ask something of you while begging you?

"Then Mr. Fang Zheng, will you ask for a sacrifice, and a priestess? I heard that many gods have ceremonies and the like... and isn't there a saying that priestesses serve the gods?"

"Not interesting, a waste of time, and... well..."

Having said that, Fang Zheng gave Shirai Kuroko a meaningful look.

"Speaking of shrine maidens, Shirai is a pretty good one."

"Hey? Shirai-san? Mr. Fang Zheng, you'd better reconsider. If you let Shirai-san be a miko, it will make people question your divinity!"

"snort!"

When she noticed Fang Zheng's gaze, Shirai Kuroko snorted and turned her head away, a faint blush on her cheeks. She certainly understood what Fang Zheng meant. You know, no matter what mythology it is, the witches dedicate their bodies and minds to the gods and serve their existence, and what she and Fang Zheng did... Oh, let's not think about it.

"So are you going to apply to be my miko? Please write an application report first."

Fang Zheng chuckled.

"How is it? It's simple, right? This is not the tricks of ordinary people. You just write a report, and I just need to approve it, and you will be a priestess certified by the gods. There is nothing better than this, right?"

"Uh... why does it feel like this is completely different from what I thought..."

"Because the world will never be what you want it to be. If everything is the same as you want, then what's the point of having gods?"

"Mr. Fang Zheng... if you say something like that, I think we can't have a good chat anymore..."

Riri Saotome raised her hands in complete helplessness and surrendered.

However, at this moment, another person appeared.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, Ms. Saten, Ms. Scarface seems to be a little under the weather."

Fili walked into the living room and spoke to the people sitting there.

"Why?"

Arriving at the guest room, everyone was a little surprised to see Scarface lying on the bed. According to Fili, Scarface seemed to have been drowsy since a while ago. She felt something was wrong, so she asked a few questions. Scarface said that he felt very uncomfortable, so Fili hurriedly called other people over.

"Are you sick?"

Riri Saotome reached out and touched Scarface's forehead.

"No fever?"

"Forget about your little tricks. Let me do it."

Fang Zheng patted Lei Zi's head, then opened his personal terminal and scanned Scarface.

"How do you feel?"

"My chest feels uncomfortable, my head hurts, and... I feel like vomiting."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned.

"You don't want to eat sour food."

"Sour...it seems like this..."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Riri Saotome screamed.

"Could it be that Miss Scarface is pregnant?!"

“No way!”

At this moment, other people also gathered around and looked at Scarface in surprise, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay, the examination is over. Um... I'm sorry, you are not pregnant. You just have the symptoms of pregnancy."

"Mr. Fang Zheng, why don't I understand what you are saying?"

At this moment, Alyssa asked doubtfully.

"Why would I have pregnancy symptoms if I'm not pregnant?"

"This is not surprising. This is called pseudo-pregnancy. It occurs in both humans and animals. It is basically a mental illness. Because they want their own children too much, they unconsciously develop this condition."

"But I never had this thought."

Scarface asked doubtfully, while Fangzheng shook his head.

"It's possible that you unconsciously had similar thoughts. In short, the body is very honest. Even if you say you don't have such thoughts... Well, if you don't have such thoughts, then do you have any clues? There must be an opportunity that caused this."

"Opportunity..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Scarface was silent for a moment.

"I heard a sound."

"sound?"

"That's right. I've been hearing the voice shouting 'Save me, save me' ever since I entered this city. Now I can hear it more clearly. This voice should be here..."

"Well... that's easy. After we finish it tomorrow, we'll go find the voice you mentioned."

“Boom boom boom.”

At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then Riri Saotome curiously walked out of the bedroom, came to the living room, and opened the door.

However, the one who appeared before her was a girl with golden hair as bright as the sun and emerald green eyes.

"Hello!"

Looking at Lei Zi in front of her, the girl greeted her energetically.

"My name is Ai, Ai Astin!"

"Ah, hello, my name is Saten Ruiko."

Facing the girl in front of her, Lei Zi thought for a while, then she remembered that she was the girl who spoke out in the hall before and was dragged away.

"Hello, I'm Saten Ruiko, what can I do for you?"

"I want to talk to God!"

The other party clenched his fists, looking full of power, while Ruizi was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng? What can I do for you?"

"I have something very, very important!"

"Ah, then come in."

Forced by the girl's amazing momentum, Lei Zi couldn't help but take a few steps back and let her enter the room. At this time, Fang Zheng also finished his inspection of Scarface and walked out of the guest room. Looking at the girl in front of him, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Who is this?"

"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng, this is..."

However, before Saten Ruiko could finish her words, she saw the girl walk up and bow to Fang Zheng.

"Hello, Lord God, my name is Ai Astin, and I am the child of a gravekeeper and a human."

"Oh... hello, I'm Fang Zheng, what can I do for you?"

While stroking the kitten in his arms, Fang Zheng sat back on the sofa and looked at the girl in front of him in confusion. Ai hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Zhi, I heard you say in the hall that you wanted to save the world, but why did you threaten to destroy these dead people?"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng smiled and changed his action, continuing to tickle the kitten's belly, then looked at Ai.

"Do you think there's a problem?"

"Of course, because I also want to save the world, I hope everyone can be happy..."

"Ai."

However, Fang Zheng interrupted the girl when he heard this.

"Do you know what the world is?"

"……?"

Looking at the girl in front of him who tilted her head in confusion, Fang Zheng sighed.

"The world is not just about humans. Mountains, rivers, blue skies, white clouds, grasslands, animals, and plants are all part of the world. When all of these are combined, they make up the whole world. Do you understand? Saving the world is different from saving humans. When you think of saving the world, you only consider humans, not other species."

"This... but..."

"Your idea of ​​wanting everyone to be happy is wrong in itself. Not everyone's happiness is a good thing. For example, some people just like killing people. They want to hear the screams of others before they die, then pull out their internal organs and watch them die in pain. This is happiness for such people, but would you want to realize this wish?"

"Of course this won't work..."

"It's good to have good wishes, but we must look at the world objectively and rationally. In fact, I don't like that kind of people. If I see that kind of guy, I will just grind him to ashes. And it can be said that although I am a god, I have definitely killed a lot of people. Because no matter which world you are in, there are always people who like to make trouble. What's even more ridiculous is that most of the time these people are destroying humanity with the dream of 'saving humanity'..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng stared at Ai.

"Little girl, don't go the wrong way either."

"Yes, is that so?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Ai held the shovel in her hand tightly in anxiety, but she still opened her mouth to ask.

"But why would saving humanity be a bad thing?"

"Well... if that's the case, then I'll tell you about it."

Fang Zheng touched his chin and found that not only Ai was interested in this topic, but also Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto were equally interested, so he nodded.

"Anyway, the night is long, so it would be nice to give you a little more education."
