Chapter 102 Aftermath
“First of all, we strongly condemn this terrorist attack by the Enlightened Ones. This vicious incident that flouts the law and tramples on human ethics is really heinous!”
"As a target of this incident, we will donate 4.3 million credits to the Security Bureau as part of the initial construction funds for the future 'Paloser High Net Worth Talent Defense Mobile Team'."
白On the daily screen, a well-dressed press spokesman looked solemn and talked in front of the cameras of many reporters below.
“But on the other hand, everyone must also understand why a group of extremely vicious terrorists chose our [Valhalla] as a display platform instead of [Paradise], [Lingxu Travel Forum], etc. Other live streaming platforms.”
"I think this is inseparable from Valhalla's insistence on the creed of 'users are the center of everything'. As the industry leader in the past three years, we have never felt satisfied or even slacked off for a day. In addition to the service creed, , Valhalla’s technical support has always been at the forefront of the world, with real-time virtual frameworks, zero-time transmission data lines, and integrated simulator networks. This is the heritage and pride of [Valhalla].”
“Today. , in order to make up for the psychological impact of this incident on the citizens of Palother, we will give away exclusive commemorative head frames to users of Palother, and launch a limited-time Valhalla platform membership purchase discount. The current plan is tentatively "
The press spokesman kept chattering, but slowly, his voice gradually became quieter and even became unclear.
No, a more accurate statement is that the newsman in a suit and leather shoes was suddenly like a melted candle, his entire face suddenly dissolved and dripping with thick liquid!
And the next moment.
A completely different face, rough and cold, emerged from the slipping liquid, and the empty eye sockets turned.
Then, slowly cast towards the man in front of the screen.
"Maron, you damn bastard."
"You let go of an 'unclean' with your own hands and watched her disappear into the wasteland - you were baptized Believer, you are the 'armed priest' of the empire. Do you remember even a little bit of your mission and belief? "
"Just because she is a child? You give charity to her so-called "mercy"? br>
"——Stupid! Naive! Ridiculous!"
"How much loss an 'unpure' will bring to the empire, do you still need me to stuff the precepts into your mind!"< br>
The captain grasped the cross sword engraved with the holy words of silver, cut open the chest of the person in front of him without hesitation, and stabbed it in fiercely.
"This is my last mercy."
"Run away, Maren, run away." The captain's eyes had never been so indifferent as at this moment, and his voice was cold: " Never come back, flee to the wasteland, escape beyond the borders of the empire, and you will spend the rest of your life as an eternal sinner——"
"——Ha!"
In the dark room, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes!
He sat up suddenly from the bed. At some point, it was as if he had just been fished out of the water, and his whole body was already soaked with sweat.
Maren gasped.
After a long time, he climbed out of bed, staggered to the table, grabbed the water glass and drank it in one gulp.
The cold water flowed down the cracks, soaked the dry and cracked lips, and fell down to wet the cement floor.
Suddenly, he came to the mirror hanging on the wall. The mirror reflected an embarrassed middle-aged man, but what really caught the eye was the latter’s open pajamas and exposed chest. Above it, there was an extremely ferocious, dark interlaced corrosion mark that seemed to penetrate deep into the bone marrow.
Looking at the etching marks, Maren stood silently for a while, then slowly walked to the window.
Due to low capital investment and extremely complex environment, the power supply lines in the Deep Moss area have never been stable, and the area where this rental house is located is already considered remote, making it even more difficult to maintain stable power. supply.
Looking up, most of the buildings were completely dark under the cobweb canopy composed of various upward-growing illegal buildings and countless tangled pipelines.
Five days have passed since the "Death of Kelland" shocked the whole city.
With the secret support of the corporate doors headed by Jade Pharmaceuticals and major entrepreneurs, the Security Bureau conducted a large-scale search throughout the city and arrested a large number of suspects, including real members of the Enlightenment.
During the arrest process, one of the people attempted to resist with a gun, but was killed on the spot by a special police officer from the Security Bureau. The scene was constantly rotated in news programs such as the Paloser Daily - in order to show the world, The consequences of trampling on law and justice. However, these have nothing to do with middle-aged people.
Only one thing really affected him.
Maren stood in front of the window, silent in the wind carrying the smell of chemical reagents.
Just one day ago, Megan told herself in surprise that the real estate developer who had always been aggressive suddenly relaxed his attitude and was willing to re-open a contract to acquire the land of the "White Porcelain Welfare Institute".
The price quoted above is still not good enough and is still significantly lower than the theoretical market price.
But compared to the original conditions of almost naked robbery, this can be regarded as a real "transaction"!
At least, Baici Welfare Home can survive again for a long time to come.
Maren covered her forehead and murmured softly.
"Sinner."

"——Is this [Ember]?"
Song Shi slowly opened his eyes.
He was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Two firelights were shining in the dim room. In the next moment, the two firelights disappeared in his pupils.
Song Shi casually picked up a piece of steel pipe on the side and grasped it with his five fingers, just like a paper towel soaked in cold water. The surface of the entire steel pipe was covered with a thin layer of flame at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, the steel pipe collapsed silently, turning into wisps of ash-like material, floating into the air from the gaps between the five fingers.
"What a pity."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Song Shi thought with some regret.
The process of engraving [Ember] is not difficult, even too easy.
——Because there is no "test".
This method of placing psychic skills into zero-element crystals as a way of inheritance is often accompanied by various tests.
The most common and typical test is that the original owner will place a will or a projection, and the person who accepts the inheritance must defeat the former, or be recognized, in order to truly acquire this spiritual skill.
Being able to cross the shackles of time and space and fight against completely different psykers, I quite like the experience of opening a blind box - not to mention that psykers who make inheritances often Be a master.
It is a pity that this zero-element crystal carrying [Ember] does not have such a test.
“For the second level of psionic skills, ‘Fire’ is an extra slot, and of the remaining five psionic skills, ‘Ember’ occupies one of them.”
“Others I want Psychic skills cannot be achieved quickly, so the only thing left is 'Boiling Blood'"
"Once 'Boiling Blood' and 'Forging Flame' are achieved together."
Song Shi nodded slightly.
At that time, if I met Xu Tong again, with all my strength, I could defeat him head-on in just three breaths.
He raised his head again and looked into the distance.
"——Three Rings [Beyond], Gaboy."
