Stop, I'm about to become a boss!

Chapter 187 Bad World

"My lord, are you awake?"

When Linton heard this name, he thought that he was kicked out of the secret realm of [Brilliant Gladiator].

There is no other reason.

The title "Master" is only called by someone in Lapa City, and this person is most likely Sargerus.

However, when the haze in front of his sight was swept away, Linton had to give up this idea.

The person standing in front of him and calling him softly was not Sargerus or Iris, but a man.

Men I've never seen before.

who are you?
Linton pursed his lips, trying to express his doubts, but no matter how he opened his mouth, he still couldn't make a sound.

And just when he was puzzled, a paragraph of words quietly surfaced.

"I'm asleep?"

Linton was startled.

The origin of this voice was very close to him, or in other words, it came from himself at all.

The problem is, he didn't speak!

Linton subconsciously wanted to lower his head, turn his head, and look around, but his body, as if disconnected from his conscious perception, was completely out of his mind's control.

Before he could understand clearly, a calm voice came from where he was again.

"Thors, why didn't you answer me?"

Although it was an interrogative sentence, Linton could vaguely hear a slight gentleness in his voice.

He looked ahead, the only front he could see.

Not far away, a man in a black robe was lying prostrate in front of him, his forehead pressed against the ground, his body trembling slightly.

"My lord, I don't dare to try to guess your behavior."

"Not at all." He raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows, and his voice became a little helpless again, "Even I need to rest, taking a short nap is not something to be surprised about, right?" .”

"Yes!"

The man named Thors simply responded, but he didn't get up immediately, but raised his head slightly, revealing those black eyes full of fanaticism and piety.

who is this person
Linton can be sure that he has never seen this person, but why does he look at himself like this
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

Linton realized that he might not be playing Linton now, but another person, and he was not participating in any incidents, but watching some kind of video replay.

Just like most text galgames, players can participate in the plot as the protagonist, but they can only walk along a specific path. When making a choice, they can only poke their heads out quietly and affect the next branch. Then silently press the space.

After calming down, Linton no longer tried to intervene, but held his breath and concentrated, wanting to see what this "plot" was talking about.

When Thors raised his head, perhaps because he knew why he would not stand up in front of him, "Linton" asked slowly.

"Now, what's the situation outside?"

"As you wish." Thors said, "The warriors you empowered are invincible, and the elite of any country is vulnerable to them. Only the last two goals are left. The world you want can be fully realized." reproduce."

"Linton" nodded slightly: "The next target, are you ready?"

Torres said: "The preparations are complete, the fighters have regrouped and are standing at the border, ready for the next step."

"Huh?" Linton sensed the hesitation in Thor's words, "What's the problem?"

"A little bit." Thors' face was a little embarrassed, and after a moment of consideration, he said cautiously, "My lord, your soldiers are the most powerful in the whole continent, but... it is a little difficult to execute the plan perfectly. "

"Except for you who are supreme, and the few of us who have accepted the baptism you bestowed, they will not obey anyone else, and they cannot command each other in small groups, so we can only plan their actions in a general direction .Now, out of eight of us, two are on the east side, two are on the south side, two are on the west side, and the rest"

Thors really wanted to say that the remaining one has nothing to do, so you quickly give an order to direct her, but that person is really too special, and he could only swallow the words in the end.

"It means that there are not enough manpower, right?" "Linton" summed up Thors' words lightly.

Thors put his head on the ground again in panic: "Please forgive us for our incompetence."

"Well, I forgive you." "Linton" stood up from his seat and looked around.

Here, it seems to be in a great hall, surrounded by magnificent, brilliant golden light filling every unoccupied corner, but, apart from this, there are no other objects in the great hall.

"It's really empty."

"Linton" looked down at Thors: "I hope that when I come back, you will be ready to welcome the ninth companion."

Thors bowed his head again.

"As you wish. My good Lord."

"Lilith!"

After hearing this familiar call, little Lilith's heart skipped a beat, and she almost fell off the stone with the kitten in her arms.

"Sorry Lily, I can't play with you today."

She patted the little white cat's head and put it on the ground, then took her little feet back from the clear and cold stream, rubbed each other's trouser legs casually, and then clumsily picked up the left foot Little Shoes, replied in a hurry.

"Here I am, Mom!"

She has already tried her best to respond, but it's a pity that a child of a few years old can't make much noise no matter how loud it is.

The name "Lilith" continued to be heard from the village where the smoke was rising, and the sound became more anxious and angry.

When the little Lilith, who was covered in a mess, stood in front of the woman who called her, the expression on the face of the person in front of her was so calm that it was a little frightening.

With her hands on her hips, the woman said coldly, "Going to the river again?"

Although the sentence ended with a question mark, Lilith was absolutely sure that her mother was questioning her in a positive and definite tone.

Mother is such a person, what she thinks is absolutely correct in Lilith's little home.

Little Lilith nodded obediently, but did not answer.

Sophistry is not something she is good at, besides, in this village, there is no such thing as "lie".

How much rice did the chickens eat today, the tiles on the ceiling fell off, and what happened to the family? In this village with only about [-] people, most of them are women and children. , can't hide it at all.

Facing little Lilith's silent confession, the woman hated iron and steel: "How many times have I told you, don't, don't, don't go to the river!!"

"Why are you so disobedient!!"

She rambled on: "Do you know how dangerous the river is? What if it falls and is washed away? Although everyone has surveyed the surrounding area many times, but now there is a turmoil outside. If other monsters come from other places What do you do when you come here? What should I do if you disappear?"

The woman's voice became weaker as it went to the back, so small that Lilith could not hear it clearly, but she still obediently admitted her mistake.

"Sorry, Mom"

Looking at her daughter's yet-to-be-opened face, which was gradually becoming a little cute, the woman slowly lowered her hands on her hips, and sighed helplessly.

She squatted down and hugged her daughter, speaking softly.

"Sorry, Lilith, I know you must be bored staying here."

"There are no books, no shops, and no entertainment in this village. All we can do every day is count the sun setting from east to west, and count the endless stars one by one. However, this is also impossible. thing."

There was a little sadness in the woman's eyes: "The flames of war are about to burn here. Dad sent us here so that we can survive. Wait a minute, as soon as the war is over, Dad will take us back. "

"Dad?" Little Lilith raised her face, "Mom, who is Dad?"

The woman's words were suddenly choked up, and she choked for a while, then she said softly: "Father, you are a hero, a very handsome hero."

She thought about it for a long time, exhausting what she had learned all her life, using all the conceivable words in her mind to describe her husband and her father's appearance, personality, and behavior to her daughter.

From liking to hating, from loving to despising, she repeated everything she could think of.

But Lilith was a little impatient.

She has heard these words many, many times. Every time, her mother uses these illusory adjectives as a paintbrush to paint in her little head.

But the problem is, she can't even distinguish the colors, how can she use her poor imagination to imagine the appearance of a person she has never seen before?
Perhaps sensing the restlessness of the daughter in her arms, the woman stopped talking, did not continue, and only gently stroked her daughter's growing hair.

In fact, she also knew that her daughter couldn't imagine her father's appearance, but she never gave up repeating those complicated adjectives with her daughter over and over again.

She is afraid.

She was afraid that one day, with the passage of time, when she looked back, she suddenly found that the image of the man in her memory had begun to blur; she was afraid that when the man returned, she would have no way to be the first Time to offer him a shallow smile and hug.

She is not actually talking to her daughter, she is using these simple words to strengthen her gradually weakened memory.

After a long time, little Lilith raised her face and asked softly, "Mom, tell me, when will Daddy come to pick us up?"

The woman opened her mouth, unable to give a specific answer.

When she was sent to this village, her daughter was just taking shape. Now her daughter has full mobility, but she still can't see a future that she can touch.

Gently stroking her daughter's face, the woman could only repeat a few words over and over again: "It's almost over, it's almost over."

Little Lilith pouted, obviously dissatisfied with her mother's answer.

My mother once said that there are many fun and delicious things in the city-state.

Sweet snacks, exquisite mechanism, beautiful magic crystal ball
In mother's bedtime stories, these things often exist in an extremely beautiful posture, and little Lilith is full of endless yearning for them.

When night fell, she lay beside her mother, covered her little quilt, and closed her eyes, hoping to see these things in her dreams tonight.

"Well, it would be nice to have a few more friends."

With such thoughts, her consciousness gradually began to blur.

Children's energy is very strong, yes, but the explosive power is enough, but the battery life is not enough.

After experiencing the noise during the day, little Lilith quickly fell into a dreamland, but just when she was about to open the door to the dreamland, the sudden noise dragged her out severely.

"Give me all the food!"

"No?"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't!!"

"!"

Little Lilith woke up suddenly from her sleep, and when she turned her head, what she saw was the endless glow of flames outside the window.

"Bang-"

The woman who was lying next to little Lilith pushed open the door suddenly, and walked in quickly from the outside.

"Mother."

The frightened little Lilith just reached out and hugged her mother, trying to take some small amount of comfort from her.

"Don't be afraid, Lilith, mom is here."

The woman patted her daughter's back lightly, picked up the petite little Lilith with all her strength, walked to a certain corner, and pushed the dirt away with a rake.

This village was originally used to hide people, so when these houses were built, many hidden compartments were placed for hiding people.

After putting Lilith down, the woman patted her daughter's head, took off the small package around her waist and put it in her arms, trying her best to maintain a calm voice.

"Lilith, stay here obediently. After a day or two, if you don't hear the sound anymore, come out again."

"Mother--"

Little Lilith's voice was crying, but she was so frightened that she didn't know what to say at these times, so she could only call "Mom" over and over again.

"do not Cry."

The woman bit her lower lip and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She really wanted to have a few more words with her daughter, but she knew that time would not leave her much chance.

Gritting her teeth and turning her head away, the woman forced not to look at her daughter's sad face, but pressed down her daughter's head hard, and then covered the board with all her strength.

"Woooooo-"

The girl's sobs and calls continued to be heard in the dark cell. After hearing this, the woman paused slightly, tears ran across her face, and her heart felt pain like a knife.

Biting her lower lip tightly, the woman cried and scolded.

"Shut up, Lilith!"

"Don't cry! Don't make a sound! Otherwise, you will never see your mother again!!"

While shouting, she took the rake and restored the soil to its original shape, then quickly went to the kitchen and brought some firewood to cover it as a camouflage.

After listening carefully and finding that her daughter had indeed not made any more noises, the woman wiped away her tears, without further constructing the disguise, staggered to the kitchen, preparing to hide herself too.

But right now.

The door was pushed open.

She stopped and looked up, her dark eyes full of despair.

"It's a terrible world."

Standing on the highest mountain in this land, "Linton" lowered his head slightly, bowing his head to everything in the world.

On the edge of the distant horizon, darkness prevents any radiance from rising, the earth is dilapidated, and there are dilapidated cracks everywhere, black smoke curls up, and desperate gunpowder smoke rises.

"Where should I find someone?"

"Linton" flipped his palm, and a pure white book was quietly condensed by faint white light.

After flipping through it casually, he determined the goal of this trip.

"Omniscient and omnipotent. The privilege of the gods is really useful." He murmured in a low voice, "It's a pity that it's just a stolen thing, and it won't be able to exert its full effect after all."

Putting away the book, "Linton" looked somewhere in the distance and said to himself.

"To raise a flag of rebellion against the land of one's birth. I'm such a bad fellow."

　Thank you "Elaine" for your reward, thank you very much! !
