After hearing this, Kuito and Marina finally understood. The two stood up immediately and moved out of the way, while the others on both sides moved in turn.

Karen turned around, faced the rostrum, and sat down.

After he sat down, the people who were standing also sat down neatly.

There are no slogans, no instructions, but it looks very neat.

At this time, coupled with what Jose said earlier, "You chose your direct subordinates to be volunteers", the feeling and atmosphere are instantly different.

Change from "Rush for me" to "Rush with me";

This is a kind of tragic, but also a kind of magnanimity, which reflects true selflessness and fearlessness.

At this time, all eyes in the conference hall, including those in the communication circle, basically focused on this place.

Karen's identity is completely different from these four "experts". These four experts are actually students of their teachers. They entered the cave instead of their teachers. Although their teachers are noble, they are basically dead. retire.

And Karen is the current director of the Law Enforcement Department of the Whip of Order in the York City Region. In the Whip of Order system, the Minister of Law Enforcement defaults to be the first in the order of ministers in each level.

The most important thing is that Karen is very young, and the deeds that happened to him in the past forcibly "sullied" his youth, thus forming a kind of tacit shackles that restrained his possibility of continuing to go upward;

But at this moment, this restraint will be declared completely invalid.

After all, being young and frivolous and being young and sincere are completely different concepts.

Political influence is something that is invisible but real. It does not mean that without the support and protection of factions and groups, you must not be able to climb up, but if they all resist you, then you will probably not be able to climb up. Woke up.

They will fight each other, but they will maintain the stability of the chessboard by convention, so as not to let the chess pieces that do not follow the rules come up.

That's true for Bourne, and so is Karen.

It's just that Bourne is getting old, and for him, instead of taking a high position in the Dingle District, it's better to stay in the chief position of the district and grasp more practical power to facilitate things;

But Karen, he's young.

Therefore, when the young man chose to stand out in this way and stood first, this behavior was enough to offset all the negative things in the past.

Ideas can be different, political stances can be different, and future plans can be different... But who can refuse a person who is willing to sacrifice his own interests to actively contribute to the improvement of the general environment?

You can argue with him red-faced and almost fight, but you can't really hate him.

Everything in the past is turned over at this time, and the personal identity image is redefined.

When he got the list, he was shocked to see "Karen" written on the first line. He didn't expect Karen to do this, and he even regretted whether it was because he opened the office door that day. The crows were too exciting for the young man.

But Bourne will not worry about whether Karen can come out alive, nor will he worry about whether he can continue to work even if he comes out contaminated...

Bourne is a realist and pragmatist. He will not think too much about meaningless things, but directly make up his mind, think about the positive side, and help Karen pave the way for a new path first.

It just so happened that Jose Si, who was next to him, had spent almost his entire life in the field of scientific research. In terms of scheming and skill, he was really not worthy of carrying shoes for Bourne, so Bourne dug a hole by himself, and he jumped into it so stupidly.

Originally, Byrne arranged for a trusted bishop to "speak", but if an outsider did it for him, the effect would naturally be better.

Jose's face turned red, half of it was anger, he knew he had been tricked by the chief bishop, and the other half was ashamed, yes, when he knew that Karen would lead the team in, last night Karen The resentment caused by his disrespect dissipated immediately, and instead he felt deeply guilty for his behavior.

He sat back and lowered his head: Fortunately, there are no reporters present today.

However, this news will eventually spread. Although everyone's loyalty to order is equal when signing up, the above people also consider cost performance when choosing volunteers. This is not how it is done.

The meeting begins.

First the briefing, telling everyone what happened, followed by an introduction to the solution...

In short, in this matter, the Cult of Kosmos has indeed fulfilled its promise: I let you die, but I let you die to understand.

The final part of the meeting was to pay tribute to the volunteer team. Mr. Kumut, the head of the incident handling team, took over the list of volunteers from Byrne and read them out one by one.

Every volunteer whose name is called will stand up and receive applause.

The last one that came to mind was Karen.

Because the list that Bourne gave Lord Kumut was the second copy he had temporarily copied, and Karen, who had originally written it on the first line, deliberately wrote it on the last line.

Don't underestimate this small position change, and don't think that this little action is worth mentioning. You must know that through the communication circle, how many pairs of eyes are staring at this meeting, and if you have a deeper impression, then in the future, you will Can be very tolerant.

At the Wien Film Festival, the stars deliberately wrestled to increase the time they stayed on the red carpet, but it was just to take more photos;

Before the start of the meeting, the seemingly small problem of seat arrangement always makes the organizers more cautious;

It can only be said that for Karen's future, Bourne is really caring and caring.

The applause was loudest when Karen stood up.

Bourne gave a look, and some senior priests sitting below stood up one after another. This action drove more people below, and the others also stood up when they saw someone standing up;

Under the chain reaction, the bishop sitting on the edge of the rostrum stood up, Bourne also stood up, and the others were embarrassed to sit any longer. The entire conference hall stood up and applauded Karen.

In fact, it’s not entirely for Karen, but to pay tribute to all the volunteers in this batch. But as the last person to stand up, Karen is also the one with the highest position and the most attention. Collective dividends for groups.

Ordinary believers, priests, and even those high-ranking adults can't remember too many names. The great sacrifice of a group of people will always be implemented on a specific representative in the end;

Therefore, this great act of dedication will eventually form a memory and cognitive label. When this matter is mentioned later, it will be replaced by a person's name, that is, the young Minister Karen.

The glory of the collective is condensed on one person... The bonus points for this person are immeasurable.

Karen did not intend to do this, and he can say with a clear conscience: When he listed his name, it was purely out of public interest;

If you insist on being so selfish, you probably don't want to be compared to the God of Order.

But he is just an actor, and Byrne is the director.

When the director puts the spotlight on you and intentionally closes you up, you can’t make loud noises to tear down the stage, you can only cooperate with the performance, and then silently remind yourself in your heart to bring them back safely as much as possible.

The meeting ended in a warm atmosphere.

Next, the volunteer team will be arranged for professional training without stopping for a moment.

In a separate small meeting room, 24 people sat down again, and the teachers came in one after another, and after telling their own content, they continued to take turns.

Teachers including the four experts themselves also gave lectures in person.

The only small episode is probably that Karen has a special status and is much taller than others, so before every teacher gives a lecture, after the volunteers salute him, he and Karen will salute each other individually.

The training content ranges from pollution, artifacts, action planning to handling of special events, analysis of related weird cases...

This class lasted for 36 hours non-stop, eating in class, going to the bathroom in a hurry, time is limited, so I can only cram duck education, everything is to improve the success rate of the task as much as possible .

Karen himself understands formations and pollution, and what's even more funny... he probably understands artifacts better than everyone else present.

Moreover, he also found the evil **** in advance and made up lessons in advance

But from the beginning to the end, Karen was not in a hurry to express himself, and basically listened to the class as seriously as everyone else.

However, there are also people who are still slacking off at such an important and critical moment, such as Neo, who sits on a chair with his arms folded, takes a nap with his eyes closed, and nods his head slightly from time to time, creating the impression that he is listening carefully. Feel;

Even when other people have a simple and quick meal, he will take out a glass of red wine and drink it slowly.

Finally, the quick training is over, and everyone has a three-hour rest period. There will be a special priest to give one-on-one blessings to help them get the best rest effect in the shortest rest time. It is really quite a luxury.

Karen refused. Instead of going, he came to the equipment receiving room ahead of time to receive the equipment.

Neo didn't go either, he was well rested and overslept.

"Oh, my God, it's really a waste of money. This robe should be considered top-notch in the religion." Neo picked up the robe and gestured in front of him, "How many coupons do you need to customize one?" pieces."

A truly high-end divine robe can have specific attributes. This set itself has the ability to resist pollution. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive.

In addition to the high-end divine robe, each person also has two protective holy artifacts, one with the attribute of resisting pollution, and the other with the attribute of spiritual protection;

In addition, there are all kinds of scrolls and potions, all of which are of the highest quality. They belong to the type that you will only look at when you enter the coupon store and you will basically not buy them.

"Oh, tsk, how many coupons can you earn by dumping these on the black market." Neo sighed again.

"This is for life-saving." Karen reminded.

"You actually ask a gambler whether life is more important than gambling money?"

Karen didn't refute anymore, but silently classified things into more specific categories.

"Hey, if you come out alive this time, your qualifications will go up completely. Did you discuss it with Bourne?"

"No."

"That's really rare. He actually spared no effort to praise you. What is he trying to do?"

"Maybe it's because I'm good at cooking."

Neo rolled his eyes: "You haven't entered the cave yet, why do you think you've been polluted?"

At this moment, Richard walked in.

"What's wrong?" Karen asked.

"I've had enough rest. Jerry has been helping me adjust my energy for the past two days." Richard answered with a smile while still couldn't help but reach out and knead the back of his neck, where there were traces of love from his grandmother.

Neo said in disbelief: "Your grandparents really let you come."

Richard replied: "They should have experienced a psychological struggle, and finally chose the correct way to face it."

Neo shrugged: "It's good that you can think so."

Next, people who went to rest came back one after another, and everyone began to familiarize themselves with the equipment.

At this time, Karen was called alone to a conference room, where Bourne, Jose, Pillow and others were sitting.

Karen saluted them.

Bourne didn't go around the corner, and asked directly: "In terms of team command, do you need us to come forward to help you adjust?"

Jose said: "We all agree that you are the most suitable to command this team. No matter in terms of qualifications or ability, other people are far inferior to you."

Pirlo exhaled a puff of smoke ring, and added: "There is still air."

The corner of Jose's mouth twitched, and he glared at Pillow.

Pirlo glared back at him.

If the environment didn't allow it, the two retired elderly people might really fight without saying a word.

Karen replied, "I can adjust myself."

"Okay, then you can do it yourself. After 3 hours, set off for the cave. When you reach the outer edge of the enchantment, you will receive the blessing and protection from the artifact. It is estimated that the time when you officially enter the cave to start the mission should be in 6 hours later."

"Okay, I know."

"Well, pay attention to safety, I won't send you off, I will wait for you to report to me when you come back."

"Okay, my lord."

Karen turned and left.

Pirlo sighed, and said, "Waste, what a waste, it's boiling water with expensive scrolls."

Bourne said, "It's wrong for you to think that way. Under the order, everyone is equal."

"But the order and division of labor are different. You don't know how accomplished this kid Karen is in the way of formation. If he can quit his current job and study with me wholeheartedly, I can guarantee that his future achievements will definitely be in the future." above me."

Bourne smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I think so too."

…

"Everyone, take your seats."

When Karen came back, Alfred had urged everyone to sit down, as if to continue the class.

Karen walked to the podium, faced the volunteers below, and said, "I'm sorry, the volunteers chosen by me and my teacher, we will face a task with a very low survival rate together. .”

Smiles appeared on everyone's faces. There must be some tension, but everyone present can overcome it.

"Before the mission officially starts, I have three requirements that I need to inform you.

The first requirement is that I am the commander of this mission, and I can also be called the captain. In short, I hope that in the future, you will follow all the orders I give unconditionally. "

As he spoke, Karen pointed to the four experts sitting at the front, Cueto, Marina, An Lance, and Nicole.

"Others, I believe they will follow my command, mainly the four of you. The task of the rest of us is to protect you from entering the core area and retrieve the artifact. I don't want you to think that the rest of us have to do it for you. Cannon fodder whose lives are lower than yours."

Cuito: "How is it possible, I respect Minister Karen's leadership."

Marina: "Me too."

An Lance and Nicole are members of the Theological Religion, and they nodded almost at the same time: "We are willing to obey."

Karen glanced at everyone, and said: "Remember the first rule, everyone must obey my orders, those who disobey and disobey, even in a place as dangerous as a cave, then I will be the first Get rid of you first, you have no chance to go to the trial court, I will do something special and kill you directly, because this is the most basic respect for other people's lives. Do you understand!"

"Yes, I understand!"

"Yes, I understand!"

"The second request, the second person in charge, our investigation minister Neo, the third person in charge, Alfred. If I can't give the order, or if something happens to me, they are the ones who will take over the baton."

"The third requirement..."

Karen paused and continued:

"It's an extremely dangerous task, but it's definitely not a mortal task. Don't go down to the cave with the mentality of going to the grave. Hehe, I'm still young, and I don't want to die yet, and I believe you do too."

"hehe…"

"Ha ha…"

Everyone laughed cooperatively.

Neo raised his hand and shouted: "Don't worry, everyone, the God of Order will definitely protect us!"

With this yell, everyone collectively entered a habitual behavior pattern, as if they knew it was time to eat when they heard the bell;

Except for Karen who was standing on the podium, everyone put their arms on their chests and said reverently:

"Praise the great God of Order!"

…

"Bah, bah, the climate and sand here are really tormenting."

Mr. Bader came back from the outside with a large bag of food and water in his hand.

They are now living in an extremely cheap hotel, adjacent to the Death Desert. The reason why the accommodation conditions are so poor is that they were robbed by sand bandits and took most of their coupons away. The son returned to a state of distressed wandering.

To make matters worse, Piaget fell ill, seriously ill, the cause was unknown, and he became very emaciated.

Mr. Bede put down the things in his hand: "Oh, if you say it, you will be laughed to death. As a believer of the Wall God, I dream of painting murals about God's prophecies all day long, but in the end, I don't even know that I will be robbed." There is no way to draw it in advance.

Um?

what are you drawing

No, your illness is cured? "

Mr. Bede leaned forward and found that Piaget was still in a very bad condition, but his eyes were bright, and he quickly drew on the drawing paper with a brush in his hand.

"hiss…"

Mr. Bader immediately realized that Piaget had entered that special state again. He immediately turned around and found that the painting on the drawing paper was a "demon" walking out of the darkness. The demon was a human image with a blurred expression. But the atmosphere of the picture can give people an almost substantive coldness and wantonness.

Below the demon, there was a man kneeling. Almost one-third of his body had been eaten away, and the rest was the meal that the demon hadn't had time to fully enjoy.

It's just that this person's back is facing the screen, so I can't see his appearance clearly.

Mr. Bede asked: "What does this painting mean, being swallowed? No, the clothes on the devil and the human body are the same, they are one, lost, and replaced by the devil in my heart?"

Piaget didn't answer, and continued to draw. From the devil's body, he drew black rope-like things, completely binding and sealing the kneeling man on the ground.

"Oh, he was controlled by the devil with this thing?" Mr. Bede could only guess.

"Ahhh!"

Suddenly Piaget cried out.

"Are you okay? If you can't, don't draw. Your state is really scary."

As if he didn't hear Mr. Bede's voice at all, Piaget continued to draw the black rope stubbornly, one after another, as if to completely wrap the kneeling man.

At this time, the paintbrush was out of paint, and Piaget went to dip the paint tray, but found that the black paint had been used up.

"Damn it, **** it, it's not finished yet, **** it!"

Piaget opened his mouth and bit his finger.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Mr. Bader immediately reached out to stop the self-mutilation, and then Piaget grabbed his hand and bit it off the palm.

Mr. Bader: "..."

After biting out the blood, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Piaget dipped his fingers in the "paint" on Mr. Bader's palm, and drew another chain.

Different from other black ropes, this one is red, very abrupt.

And it may be because of the use of other people's blood, this sum is very sufficient.

The blood on the painting began to spread around, and soon dyed all the chains on the man's body red!

I don't know why, but after painting with his own blood, Mr. Bede completely forgot about the pain. Instead, he felt an inexplicable panic and anxiety in his heart, and asked eagerly:

"Is the person in the painting dead?"

Piaget shook his head in a daze, and replied:

"Dead, but alive again."
