Chapter 13: The blank face is clearer than the sea and the sky...
The azure barrier, clearer than the sea and sky, suddenly cracked.
It's as if the waves were cut into pieces by the reefs.
At this time, Bai Lu no longer cared about the investigators who surrounded him.
They were also influenced by the gods, kneeling down devoutly and madly before the miracle.
President Lu knows.
——He is here to take Sakori away!
In the original timeline, Sakri should still be on the ship surrounded by fire at this time.
From a certain perspective, it seemed as if He came to save the child.
But President Lu didn't think so at all, and his sense of crisis was so strong that he sounded the alarm.
The white deer that has lived for more than a hundred years has not grown old in vain, it also has its own trump cards.
But before it could do so, another force plummeted from the starry sky.
A meteor streaked across the sky, and for a moment, it illuminated the entire harbor.
*
[In the worst-case scenario, there's also a reflection of God here.]
Lin had a blank expression on her face and crossed out the thought she had just had.
No, it's worse.
——For example, there are two reflections of God, and they fight each other.
Even Lin, who had just seen the reflection of God not long ago, felt a little overwhelmed.
"I never thought... that I would be able to witness the true thoughts of God in my lifetime."
Chao Shuang looked up at the sky and sighed, but his expression could not be seen clearly under the cover of night.
The two of them separated at first, and then reunited near the sea.
All I can say is that although this harbor is large, there are very few places to hide.
Lin wordlessly pulled at the edge of her hood, trying to hide her entire face underneath.
Chao Shuang could only speak two sentences in the whole afternoon, but now he was getting a little too excited to control himself.
The Reflection of God is what countless secret pattern researchers dream of. Even though most of those who have seen it are dead, there are still countless people who continue to pursue it.
But he quickly forced himself to calm down, as the target of this trip was the tree roots that had not yet appeared.
You have to get out alive first.
This place is a bit far from the president's office, and the war won't reach here for a while, but we have to help the president.
At this moment, a clear and sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded behind him.
The sharp blade brushed against the scabbard, making a buzzing sound!
There was a loud clang!
Chao Shuang rolled away without looking back, pulled out a firearm and shot him.
Lin, who had just blocked the attacker's fatal blow, also jumped away, her scimitar gleaming in the moonlight.
The gemstones inlaid on it all look wonderful.
In fact, you can't really blame those people for thinking this scimitar looks like a model, because it is too beautiful to be a weapon.
A deadly weapon.
The two of them squatted together for an entire afternoon and gained some basic tacit understanding.
At least at this critical moment, in this narrow space where it is difficult to dodge, their cooperation is tacit.
Until the end.
Lin's scimitar chopped down without hesitation, and the sharp blade that could cut through hair could easily bite through human bones.
The attacker's head rolled to the ground.
Without the cover of the cloak, Lin saw the man's face.
There are secret patterns engraved on both sides of this investigator's cheeks!
She even felt creepy.
She had only seen such techniques in secret manuals, so strictly speaking, it was not unexpected for her that Gaota would do this.
After all, what can't they do?
But she didn't expect that the tower would engrave it on every investigator.
and……
Chao Shuang put away his firearm and walked over dragging his left leg. He had rolled away too hard just now, causing his left ankle to be slightly sprained.
In the moonlight, amidst the chaotic aftermath of the war, he could clearly see every line of the secret pattern.
[Oh my God——]
【I offer this ignorant lamb to you——】
[Under the starlight, its soul is collected for you. ]
They carved the soul of each investigator, then packed the soul layer by layer and put it into a body that was still human.
As a gorgeous and rare gift, presented with both hands.
All areas involving the soul are forbidden areas.
Although Chao Shuang usually has no expression, he has never been so indifferent. His anger is gathering like a storm under the Arctic Ocean.
He said: "I have seen these search officers before, when they were not imprinted."
That was a few years ago. In recent years, Gaota's actions have become more and more aggressive, but the investigators have appeared less and less frequently. Even though he is the deputy minister, he didn't know that Gaota dared to do this.
A traitor.
Offer the souls of your compatriots to the gods in the hope of receiving a glance from them from above.
How sad!
Lin hummed. This wasn't the first investigator she had killed, but she had never encountered this situation before.
She felt in the inside pocket of her cloak and pulled out a flint and steel.
The flames engulfed the body.
After that, the two discussed and decided to go to a higher place.
The sea is now extremely unstable, with waves overlapping one another and each one higher than the last.
The bodies of migratory birds float in the sea, and a storm is brewing under the dark clouds.
Go to a high place to avoid the roar of the sea, and help the president get rid of those investigators.
The journey was certainly not smooth, and the longing was great, but there was no way to escape the aftermath of the war between gods, and the terrain at the harbor was flat, with only a few high places.
On the way, they worked together to kill another investigator.
But trouble soon arose.
That man was not used to roaming in the dark like other investigators.
An overly tall figure stood before the two of them, its massive shadow like an insurmountable mountain or a lion that could not be offended.
Lin held the sword in front.
She wants to go up the mountain and place secret equipment at a high place to help the president, and no one can stop her.
“Boom!”
The thunderstorm finally stopped hiding its arrival, and the dark clouds, so heavy that they seemed about to fall to the ground at any second, brought heavy rain.
Lightning and thunder.
In the violent storm, the cloak was raised in a decisive arc, and the hood was filled with wind and rain and fell down.
Lin hates the night.
But lightning lit up her eyes.
Her eyes were calm and peaceful.
But at this moment, the sword light was faster than lightning, slashing forward with the force of thunder!
Lin used all her strength in this attack!
Behind her, Chao Shuang, who had an injured left ankle, provided cover for her.
The sound of gunfire was drowned out by the thunder.
The man neither drew his sword nor made any special movements.
He seemed not to care, but at some point he saw the flash of the knife.
He stretched out his hand.
The blade crashed into his palm.
But there was clearly the sound of metal clashing with stone!
The scimitar was held firmly and controlled in mid-air, unable to move forward an inch.
The rain soaked the fabric, and Lin saw his palms.
There was no cover, no protection, and no brightly lit barrier.
Human flesh and blood could never be so strong!
The secret pattern crawled along the young man's finger bones, flowing like a worm, gnawing at the human flesh bit by bit.
The next second, the bullet hit.
The young man slightly turned sideways and dodged the bullet in the rainy night.
Lin took this opportunity to pull back the scimitar.
Close combat has always been Lin's strong point. Among the lazy secret pattern researchers, Lin is undoubtedly an outlier.
She doesn't carry a lot of secret equipment, the most important thing is her scimitar.
No...you absolutely cannot engage in close combat with this monster.
The rain blurred his vision and the mud hindered his movement, but this man seemed unaffected.
Too calm, too cold.
One could even imagine the expression on the face beneath the cloak; it must be extremely cold.
Lin thought a lot at this moment, and countless battle plans flashed through her mind.
But in the next moment, it was interrupted by the sudden cry of a deer.
She had never, ever heard the president scream like that.
--teacher!
Lin subconsciously turned her head to look at the dock.
But at the same time, she also realized that she had made a very wrong choice.
The beast-like red cloak has arrived!
Before her vision completely darkened, she saw a giant deer walking out of a mythical relief in the lightless rainy night.
Sacred and noble, it is inviolable.
...Teacher, this is the first time you have been so successful in showing off.
The young man put down the Lin in his hand and walked slowly on the muddy mountain road.
Chao Shuang had difficulty moving, and seemed to know that he couldn't leave. He was a little desperate and even laughed.
"I've been wanting to ask."
"How do you guys see the road clearly wearing that big hood every day?"
Although he is also a researcher in the field of secret patterns, his habits are different from theirs.
In other words, although the rebels' secret patterns are relatively underdeveloped, their philosophy is completely different from that of the Tower and the Society.
The young man stopped, and the next second, he had retreated three steps away.
“Bang!”
It was the bomb he had just secretly left in the mud. It sacrificed the explosion range in terms of performance, but the explosion damage in return was terrifying.
pity.
He spat inwardly.
The beast raised in this tower truly possesses the instincts of a beast, and its reactions are astonishingly fast.
Another sound of a body falling to the ground was heard.
At this point, the duo that could easily take out two investigators together was completely wiped out.
In just fifteen seconds.
The team leader hasn't left yet.
The wind and rain pressed his cloak tightly against his body, but he could see through the hood and gaze at the white deer in the distance.
At the center of the gods' war, a white deer stands firm, carrying a baby on its back.
It seemed that for a moment, the pair of clear deer eyes also looked in his direction.
The young man pulled his hood up and felt the rain running across the back of his hand and seeping into his arm.
...so hot...so cold.

President Lu really has no other choice. This group of people has been missing for so long, and the situation outside must have been turbulent for a long time.
It has to protect Sakori and also manage itself in the fight for the gods.
But there is a black cat who just wants to watch the fun.
"Don't worry, I told you I'll keep you alive."
Ever since it came to this world, it has been coveting the corpse of the god for a long time.
The white deer remained silent. It decided to temporarily forget about this existence which was no different from an evil god.
It even took a full two seconds to weigh the pros and cons at this critical moment.
Finally, we decided to do this because we still had to take down the tree roots later and fight all night.
Having made up his mind, President Lu no longer hesitated.
Jingle the ornaments.
Its body grew bigger inch by inch.
The broken wooden pier lay beside its hooves, like a toy made of building blocks.
The ferry swayed in the wind and rain, like a toy that could be held in the palm of your hand and admired.
No one cares about those ordinary people who died in longing, those energy aggregates formed by the memories of gods.
But the black cat was tired of this dispute - after all, it was a torture to be able to see but not be able to eat.
Its gaze is cast into the distance.
On the rough sea, rain whipped the last ordinary person who survived.
She lay on the wooden board in a daze, unable to speak or make any expression, just a blank.
The last wave hit, creating a tornado on the sea surface.
The insignificant plank was lifted into the depths of the sea.
No one cares, not even God.
*
Well... for the last small stone, let's carve an ordinary person with an expressionless face.
Ordinary eyebrows, not particularly stunning face, and a blank expression.
It seems to be no one, but it is everything, the cornerstone of everything.
Li An held the carving knife in his hand and made the final stroke without any mistake.
From then on, the roots of the tree have been completely carved.
