Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 244 The Devil's Trial

In New York, the mayor wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the reports submitted by the affairs officers of each region.

There is also an application to reduce comic peripherals on his desk, submitted by some adults.

"You mean, many patients dreamed that they saw Ultraman, that's what? And then their diseases were cured?"

He conveniently picked up another report, which also included a peripheral card of Ultraman Tiga.

"Indeed, it has been reported to the DC headquarters, as well as the college and the church for confirmation. Mr. Mayor," the secretary's voice suddenly became softer, "don't forget about the incident in Louisiana Town. The Giant of Light is real. The sequencer of existence.”

The mayor frowned at the report, nodded, and said, "Well, I understand, let's go down first."

Five hours later, the New York City Hall issued an announcement, in response to reports proposed by some parents that comic strips affected the growth of teenagers, ordering relevant publishers to cut production costs, continue to lower unit prices, and have a specialized auditor responsible for auditing profits and income.

Part of the tax revenue must be regularly used for urban children's infrastructure construction and the treatment of adolescents with some scarce diseases.

At the same time, the number of cards issued daily should be controlled to a certain number, and the plots and texts promoted need to be submitted for review before they are issued.

In other words, the rules are set and you are left to do whatever you want.

As for the original suggestion in the parents' report that they hoped to prevent the issuance of cards, they were naturally fooled by this series of superficial articles.

Speaking of which, these things are originally fueled by the church, and it is impossible to completely stop them.

After all, when the church discovered that its obscure and difficult-to-understand texts were printed on cards, the children on the street would play cards against each other and would involuntarily read out the words on the cards.

This can be regarded as part of the church's promotion work, and some families with strong faith are quite supportive.

Besides, they have all read about those cartoons, and they have normal views. Except for some monsters and the depiction of evil villains, which are a bit disgusting, there is nothing inappropriate for children to read.

Amanda has always believed that in cultural works for teenagers and children, bad people can have reasons to do bad things, but they must be punished or even die.

At the same time, he would try his best to describe the scenes of bad things and the plight of the people who were killed.

This is not for heavy taste and bloody violence to attract attention, but to make people realize that the reason why bad people need to be punished is because of the crimes they have committed.

All in all, when Amanda found Blake who was preparing for the next bloodletting to relieve the pathogenic infection, the outside world was quietly changing with the release of the new card peripheral expansion pack "Devil's Trial".

Because in almost one day, Amanda prevented the pathogen from spreading, and also cut off the space between the cult priests and the world, and gave them all to Omega.

Coupled with the attack on the dark believers in Diamond Town in the real world, it is estimated that the evil forces will not be able to recover within a few months.

When he found Blake, his face was pale and he repeatedly stated that he felt much better. He seemed to have fainted just now and saw Amanda, and then the pain in his body was relieved.

Although it seems that the black and red lines are still there, they are no longer heading towards the brain.

But Gehrman still had some hesitation. He held the dagger and stopped in mid-air. He was seen by Amanda who came over.

"I thought you were going to kill him."

Amanda said helplessly. He looked at the wounds and realized that this was an old Western tradition, bloodletting.

The degree of superstition is similar to the status of acupuncture for Orientals.

However, both of them actually have their own scientific reasons and can save lives when necessary.

It’s just that in many cases it is easy to be used at inappropriate times, or used to deceive others.

When Blake was picked up, he was lying on the carriage, and Amanda transformed into the sky form and froze his arm to stop the bleeding.

When leaving the city, many people stopped to pay tribute. Many of them knew that it was this child who saved many people who were about to become monsters.

Because of their college status, they didn't have the panic and suspicion that people in Louisiana town instinctively faced unknown things at the beginning.

When Amanda waited for the executive department commissioner of Flanders City College, the latter was already killing people crazy. They were almost the first batch to rush into the city and eliminate the people who had turned into living zombie monsters.

These killer embryos have gradually become accustomed to the mode of killing with headshots. They are covered in blood and are more monsters than monsters.

But they can still gently carry out with a smile on their bloody face those people who are stuck in various corners and knots because they are avoiding the living dead.

Although those people seemed to fear the commissioners of the Executive Department, more deeply than monsters.

Amanda told the local person in charge about the school near the city hall. She believed that these commissioners, who could unblock the sewers and change light bulbs, would find the path for the pathogen to spread.

On the carriage home.

"Sorry, Mayor Gehrman, I have no clue about your daughter's trace."

Amanda looked at Gehrman, who had vowed to completely solve the problems left by Gehrman's daughter, whether the latter was still alive or not.

Hermann held the dagger in his hand tightly and wiped the blood on it, with longing in his eyes. For a moment, he said with relief:
"I don't want this matter to be a burden to you, Amanda. You just need to protect the people you love and the people who love you. Look, didn't you save a lot of people today?"

Amanda took a deep breath, things can't always be solved just right.

When he faced Dagon before, he fought hard to win. If he lost, an entire town would die.

As long as he fails this time, it will cause a small-scale but profound biochemical crisis in this country and even the world.

So what about next time?

The feeling of being on the tightrope to save the world every time is really uncomfortable.

Amanda even felt that she was a little irritable, just like Dagu who had questioned Yousha Lei.

Obviously entering that kind of white space is the beginning of understanding the meaning of one's own battle, which is a good thing.

However, why did the more he thought about it, the more he felt less happy than before when he just went all-in and made all the moves.

Omega was well aware of Amanda's doubts and prepared many words of comfort and explanation, but in the end he did not say them out.

Maybe Amanda would be better off figuring out some issues herself.

This is his own judgment, and only the innocent can move on.

A few days later, in the small town of Louisiana, the truck delivering Flanders left a express box.

The latest version of the expansion pack "Devil's Trial" card set and background story comic collection.The one Dicko sent over was a hardcover version.
