Chapter 157
Chapter 157
A long time ago, gods could appear in the world at any time.
However, with the birth of Gilgamesh, the king of two-thirds gods and one-third man, the age of gods came to an end, and gods could no longer appear in the surface world.
The exhaustion of the magic power of the great source led to the continuous loss of power of various magical creatures and magicians of the age of gods. After King Arthur sank the sword in the stone into the lake and retreated into Avalon, using this as a dividing point, the mystery completely faded away, and human beings became the leader of the world. dominate.
From then on, human beings need to rely on their own strength to face the surviving phantom species and all kinds of monsters, multiply and thrive, and have today's modern society. During this period, the power of magicians has also undergone a qualitative change.
Magicians in the age of gods are not so much magicians as magicians who gain the authority of gods through belief in gods, while modern magicians rely on their own understanding of the world to display magic tricks that can deceive the world in a short period of time. A operative method.
There is an essential difference between the two.
The former must rely on gods, while the latter relies on human wisdom.
Akamatsu Ryu is an orthodox magician who has received a complete education as a magician.
Of course, due to his earliest experience, he has a negative attitude towards some ideas of magicians, but this does not prevent him from recognizing the firm belief of magicians in pursuing magic and power.
Especially when facing the gods.
Be respectful, but also have the firmness and pride of a human being.
And this firmness and pride has indeed been recognized by the gods from distant time and space.
The natural deity, who claims to be the god of the earth, stamped a pentagram: "I look forward to what kind of flowers will bloom from your struggle and persistence. Even if you leave this world, you will leave traces in this world after all. , this fate will not dissipate with your departure, but will become more and more lingering."
"This land will remember you and give you back."
Ma Cang said kindly with a smile, and patted the faintly golden mark on Chisongliu's body: "When you are weak, you can ask for help from the land under your feet."
Chisong Liu was a little surprised, and then his expression returned to calm: "Thank you for your blessing, I will make good use of it."
As the spirit of nature, Asakura is innately able to awaken all natural consciousness. With his blessing, Akamatsu Ryu is equivalent to having a one-time powerful area-of-effect killing skill.
The communication time between Akamatsu Ryu and this god was very short, and Akamatsu Ryu regained his vision in front of his eyes and returned to the depths of the valley.
The breeze came slowly, bringing up some dust, and the great chief prostrated himself on the ground and muttered words that Chi Songliu could not understand.
Chi Songliu blinked, and he slowly retracted the hand that touched the stone, his expression became cloudy.
The first sentence that the god said was really interesting.
really?Why do you say sure enough?It was as if the god knew himself from somewhere.
From the Warchief?
Although it is possible to rationally analyze that the god got his information through the great chief who was a priest, Akamatsu still felt something was wrong intuitively.
Almost subconsciously, he thought of the sapphire and Osamu Dazai.
It is likely that Osamu Dazai also communicated with this god.
But Dazai didn't say anything.
Akamatsu Ryu smiled wryly. He carefully recalled the scene when he saw Osamu Dazai after the New Year.
Osamu Dazai mainly mentioned Fyodor. Could it be that Osamu Dazai ran to Fyodor to discuss the coming of the god because of this god?
For a moment, Akamatsu Ryu felt some stomachache.
If Osamu Dazai becomes like Fyodor, then the world will really end.
He can keep an eye on one, but he can't keep an eye on two of them doing trouble together!
Moreover, Osamu Dazai and Fyodor teamed up, not one plus one equals two, but one plus one equals infinite power!
Akamatsu felt bitterness at the corner of his mouth, but Hassan comforted him.
【The world is strong, don't worry about it, take care of yourself first. 】
【In case you don't collapse, it's over first, maybe the two of them will beat you together by then. 】
Akamatsu Ryu: "..."
He raised his hand to wipe his face, and calmed down: "You are right, if I care about it, it will be messed up."
Just when Chisongliu and Hassan were communicating, the great chief finished his worship, and looked at Chisongliu as if he was looking at his own family - because he was recognized by the revered spirit of nature.
"Come on, I'll take you to the place where the gems were buried. There are several places where the atmosphere has become very wonderful. I don't understand it very well, but I think you may be very happy."
The great chief led Chisongliu away from the sacrificial place, snapped his fingers, and a horse came slowly.
The chief got on his horse, and a member of the tribe came to ask if he wanted to accompany him, but the chief refused.
Chi Songliu took a deep breath, he also whistled, called his horse over, and left the valley with the chief, heading deeper into the Gobi desert.
While Akamatsu Ryu was galloping across the vast desert, Yokohama on the other side also experienced unexpected changes.
Atsushi Nakajima works as a cashier at a convenience store. After answering the call from Osamu Dazai, he told the store manager that he would go back to his hometown and change shifts tomorrow.
The store manager gave Atsushi Nakajima a day off. Atsushi Nakajima went home and packed up his things before getting on the car back to Yokohama.
It was eight o'clock in the evening when he returned to Yokohama.
After leaving the station, Atsushi Nakajima saw Osamu Dazai sitting in a car waving to him.
Atsushi Nakajima's heart was pounding, he ran over quickly: "Mr. Dazai."
Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "Get in the car."
Atsushi Nakajima sat in the car obediently.
Osamu Dazai asked his subordinates to drive back to Hong Kong and Hei. He asked Atsushi Nakajima: "What have you been doing lately?"
Atsushi Nakajima whispered, "Working as a cashier at a convenience store."
Osamu Dazai: "Is it fun?"
Atsushi Nakajima was silent for a while before he said: "It's not fun, it's very tiring, there are difficult customers, there are also talkative customers, there are homeless people wandering around the door every night, the store manager is kind, and he will deal with the unsold goods that day. distributed food to them."
Osamu Dazai said coolly, "Isn't it fair to those customers who bought at the regular price?"
"...Well, so the store manager always does it 10 minutes before the garbage truck comes."
Atsushi Nakajima bowed his head, and he murmured, "There are so many people working hard to live..."
Thinking about it this way, the life that died under the tiger in the past is too humble.
Osamu Dazai sneered, and said, "You don't really think that living in this world is meaningful and valuable, do you?"
Atsushi Nakajima opened his mouth, he looked at Osamu Dazai: "You are right, I used to think about why I have to work so hard to live, it is so painful..."
"But my brother said that just being alive is already a miracle."
Atsushi Nakajima looked out of the window, and the glass reflected his resolute face: "I still can't find the meaning of my existence, but my brother said that, then I will live forever and be the miracle in my brother's heart!"
Atsushi Nakajima doesn't understand why it is called a miracle, but if the matter of trying to survive by himself can become a miracle in his brother's heart, why not do it?
He is still not living for himself, he is still living for the approval of others.
But even if the reason was so absurd, Atsushi Nakajima found the meaning of his existence.
Osamu Dazai glanced at Atsushi Nakajima in surprise, the white-haired boy seemed to have become calmer and more reliable unconsciously, which was another kind of strength different from Akutagawa Ryunosuke.
"Is it a miracle..." Osamu Dazai breathed a sigh of relief. He thought of the existence of Nakahara Chuya and Akamatsu Ryu, and said in a flat tone: "It is indeed a miracle for them."
Atsushi Nakajima was taken aback, they?
"But it's not important." Osamu Dazai changed the subject: "How are your grades?"
Atsushi Nakajima was a little embarrassed: "In the final exam of the first grade, my grades were not ideal, and I was only ranked in the 200th grade. It is very difficult to get into the University of Tokyo with such grades."
Osamu Dazai said with interest: "Then do you want to give up?"
"How is it possible?!" Atsushi Nakajima retorted: "The goal of the second grade is to be [-] years old, and the third grade is to strive to enter the [-]th grade, and then be admitted to a better private high school!"
The elites of the secret service department helped to make the study plan. After seeing the overall plan, Atsushi Nakajima felt that he still had a glimmer of hope.
Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand: "Your exercise book."
When Atsushi Nakajima came back, he brought the daily test papers and exercise books as requested by Osamu Dazai. Hearing what Osamu Dazai said, he took a copy from his schoolbag and handed it to Osamu Dazai.
Osamu Dazai picked it up and flipped through it. This is an English exercise book.
Osamu Dazai's English is very good. After all, he has been in the North American branch for a year, and it is easy to be tripped up by people who do not understand the language.
He glanced at it and found that Atsushi Nakajima's accuracy rate was really good.
Just as Osamu Dazai was reading the exercise book, the car had already driven back to Hong Kong and Heilongjiang.
Osamu Dazai got out of the car while reading the textbook, and Atsushi Nakajima followed Dazai Osamu back to the long-lost Hong Kong Hei Building with his schoolbag.
The Hong Kong and Black Building is still brightly lit at night, or it is the time for everyone to go to work at night—except for cadres.
Osamu Dazai brought Atsushi Nakajima to his office, and pushed open the door of the office. Yin Akutagawa was sorting out documents outside the office. When Osamu Dazai came in, she got up immediately: "Master Dazai."
"Well, Xiaoyin, you don't need to come over tonight, you are off work now."
Osamu Dazai said lazily.
Gin Akutagawa whispered yes, and then she saw Atsushi Nakajima.
She naturally knew about Atsushi Nakajima. Her elder brother Ryunosuke Akutagawa had mentioned this partner on a mission together, but it was a pity that Atsushi Nakajima left Hong Kong and Hei.
What happened in it, Akutagawa Silver is naturally not qualified to investigate, she nodded slightly and left with the information.
Atsushi Nakajima closed the door, he was a little uneasy: "Mr. Dazai?"
Dazai asked Atsushi Nakajima to sit on the sofa, and he took out a box from the safe next to him.
"Open it and see."
Atsushi Nakajima stepped forward to open the box and found a book in the box.
Osamu Dazai said, "Tear off the cover of your exercise book and stick it on the outside of this book."
Atsushi Nakajima: "Huh?"
Osamu Dazai: "Why are you in a daze? Do it quickly! Remember to never turn the pages of the book! If you do, I will drink tiger bone soup tonight!"
Atsushi Nakajima shivered in fright, and he took out the book with great solemnity.
The white-haired boy took out the double-sided tape from his schoolbag, tore off the cover of his English exercise book, and carefully pasted it on the outer cover of the book.
During the whole process, Atsushi Nakajima even used Tiger's super vision and subtle manipulation, and finally posted it without touching the pages inside.
Osamu Dazai watched this scene with satisfaction: "Put the book in your schoolbag."
Atsushi Nakajima: "Huh?"
Osamu Dazai: "Show it to Mr. Mori later."
Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help asking, "What book is this?"
"The Story of Forest Taro Raising Six Daughters."
The author has something to say: Magicians in the usual sense are not good people. Brother Liu has been affected to some extent, but he also has his own persistence, so Brother Liu is also an outlier among them. Otherwise, how could he get mixed up with Weber? 23333
And Dazai's tailor-made large-scale holographic stand-alone machine for Boss Mori went online 2333
