"Could it be that my stand-in was suddenly enlightened by the Gospel and ran off to work?"
In the room of the Farewell Inn, Ash sat in bed, looking at the Stand Spirit in his palm. Due to vigorous development (daily use) and proper feeding (priority supply of essence materials), the Stand Spirit has been promoted to two wings, with an extra small wing. Although it still looks like a human cub, the texture of its pajamas and nightcap has improved a lot, and it even has an extra pillow.
Ash had no doubt that the four-winged substitute spirit would carry a bed with it.
In response to Ash's question, the substitute spirit rubbed its eyes, yawned, then turned around and faced Ash with its butt.
"If Ash wants you dead in the morning, who dares to keep you alive until night?" Igula sat upright on the chair, tilting his head and flipping through the gospel: "The underground forums are all flooded with messages like you, a fool. Everyone is guessing what kind of magic faction you belong to: prophecy, mind, destiny, ritual, necromancy, chaos... puff, some people even guess that you belong to the justice faction."
"What's so funny about this? Don't I look righteous enough!?" Ash said angrily.
"If you can represent justice, then I am loyal, Pancake is mature, Missy is innocent, Liz is a rabbit, and Harvey is the grass on the grave."
Liz, who was hugging Ash's neck from behind, said, "Why is it Liz's turn to describe it as an animal?"
Harvey said, smoking a cigarette by the window, "Even though I don't understand it, I feel like it's a compliment to me."
Igula continued, "According to the description on the forum, Ash is already a strong man in the Starting Sanctuary. The reason why he murdered the Echo according to the future list is because it is part of the miracle ritual. Every time he realizes a future, his strength will grow rapidly. When he realizes all the futures, he will become the Lord of Disaster of the Gospel of Extinction... The logic is smooth and the reasoning is appropriate. I almost believe it."
"Hey!?" Liz said, "Is Dad going to go to sleep with Aunt Qinna and Aunt Nona? "
Ash rubbed Liz's head angrily to avoid Annan's death gaze. Banji beside him poured six cups of warm tea for everyone, sat down and said, "This is also the first time I've seen a prophecy come true so quickly."
"Too hasty." An Nan touched the amethyst earrings and said in a deep voice, "It's like a poorly managed company showing off its wealth to reassure its employees and customers."
"That's right." Igula also said, "Even we can see that there is a problem with the Weaving Festival. Other magicians, financial groups, and families must be quite uneasy. And unlike us, we don't really rely much on the gospel, but those big organizations almost all use the gospel to arrange personnel, develop technology, and distribute benefits... They will have the basic support of the gospel. Once the seed of 'the gospel is unreliable' is planted in their hearts, it will be like triggering a bank run. They will quickly convert the gospel points into benefits."
“So the gospel must not only use Ash to wipe its butt, but it must also wipe it cleanly, wipe it beautifully, wipe it comfortably, and let everyone see that only Ash is dirty, and the gospel is always pure.”
"For them, Ash's murder of Roger is enough to prove that the gospel is still functioning normally, which is equivalent to a major positive."
"Who played Ash and killed Roger?" Harvey kept lighting his lighter but didn't light a cigarette. "And it's exactly the same as in "The Unholy Alliance"..."
"In this matter, whoever has the most benefit from maintaining the credibility of the Gospel is the mastermind." Igula said, "And the credibility of the Gospel is closely related to urban development, social stability, and support from the foundation. Therefore--"
"The Yisu Royal Family." An Nan said, "I was wondering why they suddenly cancelled the wanted order for Ash... Now they might be afraid of catching Ash, because then the Yisu Royal Family will not be able to realize the future in the name of Ash."
She went over and sat next to Ash, saying, "If it's the royal family of Yisu, then it's not surprising that they can do this. You also know that the more Gospel points you have, the more Gospel permissions you have. As far as I know, the royal family probably has the highest authority over the Gospel. Not to mention miracles, they can even pray for miracles..."
An Nan said as he reached out and touched Ash's arm.
When Ash looked at her in confusion, Liz suddenly attacked Mua and kissed him on the face.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Ash felt something was wrong: "Do you think I'm an ice cream or a doll? Why are you using both your hands and your mouth? Igula, are you causing trouble? ...Igula?"
Ash looked up, and the Trickster immediately avoided his gaze, not even glancing at him, his body trembling slightly. He looked at Banji, but saw the young butler suddenly took out a notebook and wrote furiously, as if he had suddenly turned into a sow who could only type.
The cult leader looked at Harvey and found something very strange: "Harvey, why can't you light a cigarette?"
The necromancer looked at the lighter in his hand. When he lit the flame and brought it close to the cat grass cigarette, his thumb pressing the button subconsciously released it. When the lighter was aimed at the cat grass cigarette, his thumb could not press it down. Ash had thought that he did not light the cigarette because he was taking care of Liz and Annan, but this situation is clearly a symptom of Alzheimer's disease!
"You are being controlled!?" Yaxiu grabbed An Nan's shoulders and shook them vigorously. An Nan looked at him in confusion, but soon came to her senses, hugged his hand and said, "This is normal, don't be nervous, no one is attacking us."
"Normal?"
"This is what makes Nabisteen special." An Nan said, "The imperial capital is a place of blessing, a place of heavenly sounds, and a hunting zone for troubles. Although the bottom floor is just the old city of Nabisteen, it is also in the embrace of the imperial capital and can enjoy the blessing of the gospel. This is why so many people would rather live in the underground city than stay in Nabisteen..."
"So what is so special about it?"
"Don't be impatient," An Nan said gently, as if he wanted to see Ash's impatient expression: "To put it simply, all of us are under the "revelation" of the gospel. Although the gospel will not directly prompt us, it allows us to use the computing resources of the gospel to generate the most acute intuition, so that we know what to do now."
“What we are doing now is the most reasonable behavior that can easily satisfy our superficial desires.”
Annan looked at Harvey: "Harvey has always wanted to quit smoking but couldn't, so he couldn't light his own cigarette under the "Apocalypse"; Liz wanted to get closer to you but was a little shy, so she dared to kiss you only in the "Apocalypse"; and Igula probably used his mental will to resist the intuition brought by the "Apocalypse"."
"Wait!" Ash said in panic, "Doesn't this mean that you are controlled by Apocalypse?!"
"No, it's not the 'revelation' that controls us, but an 'I' that sees farther, is more rational, and has more action." An Nan explained: "As long as we are human, we will definitely have negative traits such as hesitation, laziness, fear, etc. Even if they know what is the right thing to do, they don't want to do it, dare not do it, and are unwilling to do it. Even magicians are no exception. In many cases, the biggest difference between talented people and mediocre people is the number of negative traits they have."
"The essence of the gospel is not to find information, but to help you get to the "next step". When you don't know how to move forward, the gospel can guide you, whether it is life, love, magic, work, scientific research... even killing people, the gospel can provide you with target information. "
"But asking for the gospel requires points, so most citizens cannot enjoy this kind of life consultation. So, you understand the greatness of "Revelation" - although you don't ask for the gospel, you can still make the most correct choice through intuition by calling on the computing resources and big database of the gospel."
"When I think about the next step, various action plans will naturally pop up in my mind, and I will analyze which plan is the most feasible and beneficial, and then take action immediately." Annan blinked at Ash: "This is why Nabisteen is called the Troubled Hunting Area - as if as long as you follow your intuition, you can reach a happy ending all the way."
