How Am I Still Alive?

Chapter 152: Great call

From the moment the protected person died, this **** mission was a complete failure.

Even with disgrace, there are the Foreign Affairs Bureau and the Secret Service.

But in fact, the "shaming" is not once or twice. Except for a few people who have an old relationship with Xiao Huang, the other veterans quickly recovered their calm... Lu Ping An suspects that they have failed from the beginning. mental preparation.

It's just that on the way back, the atmosphere was a little depressing...except for a new gardener who didn't care, sitting in the passenger seat.

But since no one else spoke, he just silently read his book, turning around from time to time to see if the tree trunk tied behind the car was missing.

"...Did you fail over there too..."

The news was quickly passed back to the headquarters, but what we got was still only bad news, and it was a lot worse.

While being escorted here, the convoy over there was actually raided, and the location of the battle was the airship station (airport).

Judging from the results, the battle over there is actually a big deal. After all, the reinforcements of the Church of Life (Daughter in the Forest) are also there.

The location of the attack was the apron, which was open and convenient for confrontation. The keeper had prepared the battlefield from the beginning... From the results, he lost again this time, but the loss was quite subtle.

The bishop repelled the opponent's attacker and successfully sent the "escorted" to the airship.

Then, the airship swallowed the retiree in one bite.

Yes, it was swallowed. A medium-sized airship that was "enlightened" suddenly woke up, the deck was directly discounted, and the retiree was swallowed in one bite, as well as the 141 ordinary passengers and two escorts inside.

Fortunately, the **** did not leave. They responded in time and killed the "large monster".

In the end, there were about forty-three survivors removed from the "airship", and less than ten lucky ones were uninjured.

The retiree, the primary target, died on the spot.

This is this era. Because there are too many professionals and abilities, it is easier to destroy than to protect, and it is also the reason why many "examiners" are willing to bet a life and death to gain abilities.

It's like a country with a lot of guns but no surveillance cameras. As long as there is a derailed person who has a criminal motive, it is impossible to prevent him from shooting wildly on the street one day.

What can be done is probably to hold accountable afterwards and warn potential perpetrators with severe consequences.

Why no monitor? In fact, this damned mechanical spiritual awakening technique is also a major reason.

Machinery, in this day and age, cannot be trusted.

Information itself is a carrier, a dangerous carrier that can carry pollution.

Not to mention the development of network and telecommunications technology, there are requests to block the Internet every year within the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, and the evidence they come up with is the number of deaths and victims.

From the perspective of the ancient city police and the Anomaly Administration, it was already quite difficult for them to deal with a group of international terrorists with the standing force of a small and medium-sized city.

Under normal circumstances, those "super terrorists" should also fight their wits and courage with those real ruthless people in hot spots, international metropolises, key resource worlds, and not to harm the standing guards of a second-tier city, or the defenders to be attacked. The detached shell.

"We know that there is a ruthless man who follows the 'Mechanical Beast Taming' route, and he is at least rank six."

"Let's think for the better. This time, there are at least Tier 6 or above who shot at the opposite side, and someone will definitely be sent from above."

Is this good news? I'm afraid the people who say it don't believe it.

In a sense, the ever-increasing prevalence of super crime is also the root cause of the recent frenzied advancement of reforms.

Destruction is far too easy compared to guardianship, especially when the destruction itself can yield huge benefits.

Previously, this country completely banned the dissemination of "contaminated knowledge" in order to avoid the recurrence of this kind of thing.

But some things are unstoppable, especially in the new era that several other countries have not banned for a long time. When the number of cultists and supernatural criminals in the country overflows to a certain extent, it may only be a matter of time before the taboo knowledge is fully opened. .

Is this a good thing? Or the first step in the world slipping into the abyss? No one can tell.

Most of the official keepers just know that no one can bear it if they "wait for a long night" as they have done for hundreds of years.

In a sense, this is like the crisis of the flood of guns in a certain world. When little furry children can buy two when they go out, the safety of innocent people is probably just a matter of luck.

The worst thing is that there is still a certain chance that guns will be completely banned, although the probability is extremely low.

But the endless mysteries, churches, foreign realms, and evil gods in this world make prohibiting the spread of "pollution" increasingly an empty slogan.

"Gun shops" are everywhere, and the difficulty of obtaining them is not high, so super crimes are naturally repeated.

The cost of maintaining social continuity is too high, so high that the government's nearly unlimited potential and combat power reserves can no longer support it, so it was forced to start a new round of reforms and ushered in an all-round expansion.

If the garrison strength of the ancient city was tenfolded this time, then it would not be so passive.

"No, it's the same, although quantitative change can achieve qualitative change, but a group of ordinary guards with the highest fourth rank can deal with the sixth and seventh ranks? High-rank professionals are not so cheap." The big cat, the culprit, gave the answer ruthlessly.

The expected answer also made Lu Ping'an completely abandon his plan to rely on the official.

Just like the mainstream of "holding groups" that has gradually formed in this era, since the large stable order cannot be guaranteed, then it is a natural logical deduction for small groups with armed force to protect themselves.

A certain Chinese on the roof, a gun-carrying community, a militia group, a local company, a big landowner, is probably this kind of thing.

And this, to a certain extent, has become an unstable factor in the new era. In some cases, the conflict between "family rules" and "national laws" is inevitable.

But in the tide of the times, who can go against the tide.

In the face of a crisis-ridden world, who can resist the temptation of power and take control of their own destiny and the safety of their families?

When the power begins to be used privately, when the power begins to discuss the price, how many people are still willing to throw a fist for "order"...especially the retired secret guard, who can't even keep his own safety!

The silent atmosphere of the team, in addition to the silence for the colleagues, more, may be thinking of their own future.

"I always feel that this is a chronic death, big cat, is there any help?" Lu Ping'an had seen through everything, but after thinking about it, he got a helpless answer.

It's not a matter of lack of power, and it's not going to be turned around by the appearance of a hero, but the whole world is being dragged into the abyss, entering a cycle of deterioration both logically and substantively.

In Lu Ping's eyes, the situation will only get worse, and all reforms seem to be drinking poison to quench thirst.

"How many worlds do you think I've seen before, I've long since been saved. Since that big summon fifty years ago, I've been completely helpless." The big cat casually threw out a history of being "sealed up".

"Grand Summoning? What is that? It sounds like playing a game." Lu Ping'an felt a little more subtle, and it seemed that there was a problem with calculating the time.

"Well, for some existences, it's probably just a game. Twelve gods... amazing existences, big men who I can't face even if I succeed in ascending the gods, and some top players in your world. They jointly conducted a super-large ceremony. The reason is unclear, but the result is that this world has been dragged away from its original trajectory, and has become 'closer' to many worlds. Within three years, the pollution density has increased by at least ten times. The threshold of strength has also been greatly lowered." The big cat didn't hide it, that incident is an eternal pain in the hearts of too many people, and it has also affected the life choices of countless people.

In fact, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid I wouldn't hesitate to choose to ascend to God and choose to give up this world.

Lu Ping'an nodded silently, and he also vaguely heard the "Twelve Pillars" and the so-called "Seven Evils" in the big event fifty years ago.

"At this point~lightnovelpub.net~ is there really no hope? It's okay to survive." Lu Ping'an was vaguely certain that this cat was probably the only one who could give a decent answer.

"Yes, a big guy with the same twelve pillars, one hand to protect the world. But that is basically impossible, the strongest human beings are too far away from them, too far, maybe they should not be used far. To describe it, it is the difference in size between mortals and galaxies..." The big cat has an undisguised loss, if the "big call" did not happen, perhaps, she would still be a friendly international friend.

Lu Ping'an was thoughtful, he had already guessed the second answer.

"The second method is what you did? Go to God by yourself, and then ride the Ark of Doomsday? To harm the next world?"

Lu Ping'an has determined that if his courtyard continues to expand, it can really become a complete small world. Then, how many people can live there? Can it be in a city?

"Oh, if we don't come, will the world not end? Humans, don't think too highly of yourself, sooner or later you will be with me.... We, almost, I look forward to your choice... ..”
