God after all

Chapter 2 The handsome man in the iron mask
这一天是3004年12月3日，下午时间16：20
Location: City of Jiuhua, King's Landing - Forgotten City

The hazy sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the breath was cold and cold.

The wind, mixed with violent rain, beat the dense buildings mercilessly.

Those high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete, towering under the low sky, appear eclipsed and dying, and have been corroded by old and mottled vicissitudes.

This is the forgotten city of the City of Jiuhua in the King's Landing Kingdom, filled with darkness, coldness, death and terror.

An old woman squatted beside the shattered body, weeping, drenched in the rain.

The rain was streaming down her wrinkled face, and her cry was so sad and desperate.

On the long street behind her, a man holding a black umbrella walked slowly.

The man was wearing a black hooded jacket, his face was hidden in a wide hood, and he was wearing a silver mask.

"Who killed you?"

The masked man stopped and spoke nonchalantly as if nothing had happened.

From behind came the voice of a young man in the age of seventeen or eighteen, which shocked the old woman.

It seems that time is also subtly stopped.

Facing the condescending gaze of the masked man, facing the focused eyes of those icy black pupils, the old woman felt a creepy chill run up her spine.

"It's the dark nobles who have returned!" the old woman said in despair.

Rather than saying that she is a human being, it is better to say that she is a dead soul. Although she retains the appearance and form of her life, it is only a shadow, and her fragmented corpse is next to her.

"What happened?"

"I met them in the morning—the two brothers with red eyes like vampires, Leon and Genelle have come to the Forgotten City."

"What are you doing?"

"I'm here to find you, my lord! You, who have been guarding the Forgotten City, have been regarded as a thorn in the side of the dark nobles, and they want to hunt and kill you."

The answer is simple - the famous man in the iron mask "Leng Ji" has been included in the death list by the dark nobles.

The old woman stared mournfully at the young man in black with her dim eyes, and it was the young man in black who brought something called cruelty.

Now the source of cruelty was standing in front of her.

"Everyone who met Leon and Genelle died!"

The indifference of youth makes the atmosphere heavier

"What else did you see?"

"A black cat with red eyes, squatting on Genelle's shoulder."

Hearing this, a ray of emotion flashed in the young man's eyes, and long-lost memories of the past flooded into his mind.

No one knows that Leng Ji, a member of the Knights of the Holy Spirit, is the virgin son that the world is looking for.

The Holy Spirit Knights organization he belongs to is a demon-hunting organization that exists to hunt and kill demons for human beings all over the world to solve blasphemy incidents.

On the first day of the birth of the virgin son, the dark aristocrat was ordered by the master of the demon god to travel through time and space from the old age to the winter of 2996 to hunt down the holy son created by the ancestor of all gods.

Difficult to find out the hidden traces of the Son of the Virgin (Holy Son), the Dark Aristocrats retaliated against the world by bringing a holy disaster in the winter of 2999.

Due to the indifference of the members of the Knights of the Holy Spirit, the Man in the Iron Mask has been attacking the holy disaster in every possible way, and the dark nobles who caused the disaster began to regard him as a thorn in their side.

The holy disaster lasted until 3004 and gradually subsided. However, during this period of five years, the dark nobles who had disappeared in the past reappeared on December 3004, 12.

One of the dark aristocrats, the two masters of the Krillottuya family, the chief ministers Lelyon and Genelle, who are the lords of the demon gods, appeared in the Forgotten City to search for the Man in the Iron Mask, and brought death to the residents here.

"My lord, do you think that the reappearance of the dark aristocrat who disappeared will bring about a holy disaster like the winter of 2999?"

"I'm afraid the visitor is not kind." The young man Leng Ji expressed his opinion with certainty.

The old woman could hardly accept this fact and shed tears of sorrow.

"The world is already scarred. If the dark nobles make a comeback again, will human beings perish?"

"Won't perish—God will protect the world!"

Hearing such comforting words, the old woman's tears flowed even more violently.

"You are the saint sent by the gods to rescue the suffering!"

Having said that, the old woman knelt on all fours and bowed her head reverently.

Leng Ji looked at her silently, the eyes in the dark eyes were icy cold.

"You can wait here, there will be death from the underworld to take you away."

"Am I going to the underworld?" The old woman raised her head and asked, "Is that where the soul goes when a person dies?"

"Not at all."

Looking at the tall and steady young man in black, the old woman had delusional thoughts that she shouldn't have.

"Can I see your face? Legend has it that the famous man in the iron mask, Leng Ji, is an unparalleled beauty in the world!"

Out of respect for the deceased, the young man took off his mask coldly and silently, revealing a handsome face that pales in comparison with its brilliance.

It seems that only gods can create such youthful and perfect masterpieces.

The old woman, who was so shocked by the beauty of the young man, couldn't recover herself from the shock. This was the most beautiful man she had ever seen in her life.

"So the legend is true...your face is like a lotus flower." The old woman couldn't help showing a ecstasy and intoxicated smile, "Seeing you, I will die without regret."

"Sorry, I am late."

Hearing such apologetic words, the sadness in the old woman's eyes deepened, "If you were here, wouldn't I not die?"

"Yes."

With Leng Ji's firm reply like a rock, the shocked old woman shed tears all over the place.

"But you are still late."

The obsessive gaze in her eyes was fleeting, and she suddenly realized with horror——in the depths of those endless black pupils, there was a chilling and dangerous aura hidden.

How cold and dark were those incredible eyes?There is no emotion in it, and it will make those who watch it silently tremble with fear.

No matter who sees such an existence, they will instinctively feel awe and awe.

"Killing the humans the hero loves first is also a way to kill the hero."

Tears were no longer enough to replace the old woman's sadness.

She suppressed the timidity in her heart, and looked at the beautiful young man standing quietly in the rain like a god with pity.

"You go, find those executioners, expel them - this is not to avenge the dead, but to allow the living to have a bright and peaceful life."

"Don't you need me here?"

"No need. Someone will come to collect the body for me."

"please take care."

Leaving behind the cold silence of these words, he still walked indifferently towards the desolate street ahead.

The hoarse voice of the old woman came from behind, as if she was speaking with her last breath, telling him: "Hero of the Forgotten City, people respect you very much!"

Leng Ji didn't look back, and the figure became more and more distant.

Heavy rain shattered the silence, lightning pierced the sky, and thunder roared.

In the winter of 3004, the Forgotten City of the City of Jiuhua presented a scene as if the war had just ended.

The streets were full of rubbish and rubbish, and there was no one there except the young man.

The news of the mysterious deaths of civilians here began to spread to the outside world at 45:[-] pm today, causing panic among the people.

The man in the iron mask "Leng Ji" came here to investigate the cause in person, and took a trip to the forbidden area of ​​the Forgotten City by the way.

Judging from the information revealed in the mouth of the dead old woman, the death of the civilians has been determined to be the work of members of the dark aristocrats.

It's just that he can't announce the truth to the public prematurely, otherwise it will cause great panic in the world.

The really unbelievable mystery is—how did the members of the Dark Nobility, Lelyon and Genelle, break into the Forgotten City?This place was originally a heavily guarded and isolated place.

Lengji couldn't find any traces of the existence of the dark nobles, and the little information he could get was only some dictation of the undead.

He had no choice but to shift his target and prepare to go to the taboo area.

The Forbidden Zone is a true no-man's land, where the Gorefiends that inhabit it are imprisoned.

Only a strong man like him dared to step into the desperate realm full of corpses, and killed the blood demon more than once.

An hour later, the dark sky remained the same, and the night did not come for a long time.

Since the outbreak of the holy disaster in the winter of 2999, the time here has been sealed by the gods, and the night will never fall again.

Somewhere in an abandoned commercial complex.

A rumbling explosion broke the dead silence, and the bloody flames lit up the sky.

Crack marks wantonly covered the walls, and with the rustling and tearing sound of the buildings, the two high-rise buildings fell apart and collapsed. At the same time, many low-rise buildings were razed to the ground and crushed.

Mountains of rubble and broken walls, like a dead black dragon lying prone at the end of the doomsday world, lying in a decaying death posture, eroded by wind and rain, waiting for the torrent of time to dry into bones.

Not long after, gunshots were mixed with the roar of wild beasts.

The painful sound came from a dilapidated old building.

Accompanied by the sound of booming, crazy jumping, violent impact, angry roar...

The white object on all fours landed steadily on the window without a windshield.

Its stature is no different from that of an adult, but it walks like a wild beast, with red eyes wide open and angry eyes staring at the man in black with the gun.

　This book is an alternation of east and west fantasy, the fusion of mythology and technology.

　　At the same time, it also incorporates a sense of animation, mainly in the "story plot" and "text use".

　　Because the East and the West alternate, it is very difficult to write the two styles, so I can only try my best to write.

　　The background is grand, the story is peculiar, the writing and the content of the story are all on the level, and the quality is not a problem.
