Evan Burns put a photo with his father on the table.

The wind outside the window moved the dead branches, and the large maple leaves that remained stubbornly were picked off by the wind and placed lightly on the ground.

The curly dead leaves seem to have their own direction, and they rub against the ground with a soft sound, starting their own journey.

Ivan turned his gaze back into the room, and he began to look around his room.

Beige wallpapers, clean ceilings, mahogany wardrobes, water heaters that don’t smell like smoke…

A completely different setting than the cottages by Lake Mistani, yet with the same tranquility.

He walked to the full-length mirror and took out a shiny thing from his pocket.

Gently rubbing it, it looks like a rose carved out of ruby ​​reflecting the warm light.

This was given to him by Sean before he left, and explained how to use it.

Evan Burns pinned this brooch on the left chest of his shirt. After the light outlined the outline of the thing, it disappeared like ice grains in hot water.

Looking at his own appearance in the mirror, Yi Wen, who had always hidden his emotions deeply, suddenly had some soft feelings...

He hadn't felt at home since his father left.

Every place, even the shore of Lake Mistani, is just a "residence" for him.

And the unreserved enthusiasm of the 1902 couple just now made him feel a little warmth called "home".

Ivan had to admit that no matter how strong he looked, deep down in his heart he still longed to feel such warmth from time to time.

Recalling the footsteps of the moonlight, the pianist knocked on the door: "Ivan, are you ready?"

The young "Piano Apprentice" responded and walked towards the door.

Aaliya Dickinson announced tonight's special event after the group had dinner in the box of the "Palm Tree" restaurant. Sitting in the co-pilot, she turned around and her black eyes sparkled: "Didn't we discuss going to Do you want to go up to see the night view of the Kingdom of God Building?

"Ivan is here this time, let's go and have a look together!"

Aaliyah said a few words so that Sean, who was driving, stared straight: "Why... have you already bought a ticket?"

It seemed that her brother was not interested, and Aaliyah's excitement ebbed: "What's the matter, Sean, don't you want to go?"

Xiao En turned to look at his sister, gritted his teeth, and changed his state: "No! No!

"I was just thinking about something else!

"You mean to go to the roof of the Kingdom of God Building? That's a great idea!"

Even if the sky phobia has not completely subsided, even if Sean deliberately does not look at the sky now...

But it seemed that Sean didn't want to see his sister's disappointed expression more than the sky.

Only then did Alia feel relieved, and began to talk about how difficult it was for her to buy sightseeing tickets.

Sean smiled wryly in his heart. In order to avoid Moonlight and Ivan in the car behind from showing embarrassment after arriving at the destination, he could only inform them of the itinerary this time through the Explorer playing cards in advance.

As a result, it took him a long time to receive their reply—naturally, he was quite reluctant.

Under the command of the traffic controller, the car was parked in a parking building next to the Shenguo Building.

After getting off the car, Aaliyah closed the door and ran to the moonlight car, finally revealing her destination for tonight.

Moonlight, who seemed to have done a lot of self-psychological construction, performed much better than Sean, and he showed excitement without any flaws.

Only when Alia walked forward with Winnie in her arms, the smile on her face faded, and she gave Sean a painful look.

Sean shrugged, as if to say: What can I do...

Taking the elevator down from the parking building, they came to the bustling Harris Fifth Avenue.

It was eight o'clock at night, and it could be said that it was the busiest time in New York City.

There are not many tourists in winter, and they directly enter the lobby of the Kingdom of God Building without queuing.

This building, which has just been completed for one year, is invested and constructed by DuPont and General Motors. It is the tallest skyscraper in the world today.

It is located in the center of the most prosperous Harris district in New York City. It is open to tourists all year round. On the top floor, you can overlook the Harris area and even the entire New York City.

The CEOs who invested in the construction of this building seemed to be devout believers in the Discipline of the Salvation Church, and they knew a thing or two from the decoration of the Kingdom of God Building.

Whether it is the chandelier in the hall or the pattern on the ground, they all present a perfect rhombus.

And this standard rhombus pattern is the symbol of the Law School.

The worship of salvation is almost everywhere in the whole building, so that a hall on the first floor is even directly used as a church.

In the only theocratic country in the world, this kind of flattery to theocracy is almost a common tactic of all capital predators—as long as people related to the gods are happy, capital can play whatever they want.

Of course, these are just appearances. Behind the scenes, the connection between theocracy and capital is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After all, purely doctrinally speaking, the construction of such a building has no direct connection with Keane's beliefs.

Even for conservatives who are too old-fashioned to understand dogma and have too much imagination, this kind of skyscrapers pointing directly at the sky is a slight offense to the gods in the sky.

But such a voice is not Newlander's mainstream. The spokespersons of capital can naturally deal with such objections calmly: as they say, the tall buildings extending toward the sky where God resides are not an arrogance, but a unique tribute to the longing for Keen’s country...

Those in power and capitalists have obviously lost awe of the strict and old-fashioned teachings, and how to interpret them all depends on their own needs.

And those conservatives who are dissatisfied with human progress are destined to be abandoned by this era...

God ignores the world, and human beings build their own homes.

Interrupting the extended associations about the God-Constitutional Country, Sean and his relatives stepped into the elevator ~lightnovelpub.net~ In the high-speed ascending elevator, soft music sounded from the speaker, and a female voice spoke happily The tone introduces the origin of the building of the Kingdom of God, and the story is mixed with the belief stories of the CEOs and various teachings...

Feeling the uncomfortable feeling of the eardrum being pushed due to the high-speed ascent, and the hypnotic introductory voice in the elevator, Xiao En inexplicably gave Sean a feeling of deja vu...

It feels like returning to that absurd underwater city.

When the elevator opened, the noise of Harris was wrapped in the cold wind, and the city skyline, which was originally outlined by tall buildings, suddenly appeared in front of us at a glance.

The three ladies walked onto the rooftop with no burden, and even with some excitement.

On the contrary, the three men, who were extremely brave in all kinds of dangers, hesitated the moment the elevator opened.

They looked at each other in the elevator, and then drove their reluctant bodies to the roof of the Shenguo Building...
