Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 282 New Years

Omega clearly "saw" everything about Pearson, and he was the only person left in the entire town who had been to R'lyeh last.

"Maybe he also has some secrets that he doesn't want to tell others, and he doesn't want to make you worry, Amanda."

Omega was still a little emotional, he still had some special memories of Pearson.

After all, Pearson is the first person in the world who has received his true trust in light.

If he could, he could absorb Pierson's soul when he died.

It's not to eat it, but to give it to Xiaonai.

The one who can soothe the light and shards of sanity of those who are innocent and give them complete rest.

As for why he knew so clearly, Omega felt a dull pain in his stomach that didn't exist.

In his early stages, the fragments of the sanity of those innocent injured people who died in evil sacrifices were basically cut open by Xiao Nai and taken away.

I have a deep memory.

Amanda remained silent. To be honest, he had seen many people leave.

The pain suffered by the casualties made him continue to grow and fight, and the reason for his willingness to protect the world.

But Pearson's destined death from organ failure made him somewhat unacceptable.

He asked: 'Omega, is there a way to save him? "

Omega shook his head and said: "With the medical level of this world, there is basically no hope. Even the academy is the same. Although they control the progress of the world's technological level, they cannot use such high-precision medical equipment for no reason. Treating organ failure diseases. In the battle records of those sequences you checked, some people did suffer more serious injuries, but they are sequencers themselves, and their physiques are stronger than normal people. Even so, many retired sequencers are very It is difficult to live beyond the age of 50. Pearson is almost 40 years old. If the average life expectancy of 40 years in the early [-]th century is really considered, it is not bad."

"So, can the cause of his organ failure be found?"

"It has basically nothing to do with the R'lyeh people. We have seen individuals who lived to be over 60 years old before. I guess something affected him during the time when the darkness invaded. Ordinary people do not suffer from this disease at all, and There is no need to worry about infection. In fact, Pearson's body can even be called healthy, if the actual age of the organs is considered."

Amanda sighed, simple birth, old age, illness and death were something he had no way to stop.

These things were never mentioned in Blake's letter. It was presumably requested by Pearson, who did not want others to worry about him.

Only he knew what happened when he left the island for the last time. A few years later, he would leave this world with this secret.

Even though he was born in Raleye, he has no memory of that island.

Amanda felt that her mind was a little confused and she couldn't understand many things.

By the time Blake came back, it was already past noon, more than an hour late.

"My Amanda, look at you, you are as tall as me. If only I had hair too, so I could look at you like an adult."

Blake gave Amanda a bear hug as soon as they met. Within two years, Amanda's height had reached about 1.7 meters six, and she was no less tall when standing in front of Blake.

"Chief, what's going on with Pearson?"

Amanda's expression has not yet recovered, even though these people she trusts the most, she cares about them very much.

Blake froze in place, a little helpless, sighed, put his hands on Amanda's shoulders, and said:

"It seems that you have already seen him. There is something wrong with Pearson's health. Before you, we checked with the church. There was no cause of pollution, but his body was too weak for someone of his age. .We were not going to tell you about this."

Blake looked at the silent Amanda and said: "Don't think so much, Amanda. In fact, I am a person who does not believe in fate, but sometimes I realize that in fact, there is nothing good or bad in fate, it just depends on How do we view the things we foresee. Everyone here hopes that you can be happy, and I understand the responsibility you shoulder, so you should stop being proud and don't have to feel guilty because of our accident."

Amanda nodded, indicating that she understood.

He just needed some time to figure it out.

"Ah, Amanda, why did you come back just now? I thought you went home directly after you came back from Washington."

Ludwig's voice came from outside. He seemed to have just walked through the town carrying the books and medicine box.

This old man's body is really strong, not inferior to Blake's at all.

Ludwig said that if he puts on a suit and dresses and tidies his hair and beard, he will definitely be considered a handsome old man.

But he was always unkempt and didn't care.

He looked at Amanda without waiting to speak, and then said:

"I have an idea, and I have told it to the mayor before. In the New Year, I am going to organize an event. Amanda, you know, after that night, we got a new life. Although the results did not change on the timeline , but some of the treasures passed down by the church have noticed these changes. If the bishops hadn't found it a bit abrupt, some people would have wanted to canonize you as a son and wait to succeed you as pope."

Blake couldn't understand the dubiousness of what Ludwig said, but he could understand the words asking Amanda to succeed the pope, and couldn't help but ask:
"I remember that the age of succession for the Pope must be over 50 years old, and Amanda is still so young."

Amanda also shook her head decisively, just kidding, being the Pope?

In this worldview, to be the Pope is to be a BOSS.

Imagine that the protagonist of the story finally arrives in front of the church's cathedral. As soon as he enters the door, the way out behind is blocked, the kind pope in front of him suddenly floats, epic chants sound all around, and a long health bar appears. Scenes.

The feeling is really indescribable.

Ludwig smoothed his beard and continued: "Actually, you don't have to care too much. There are at least 73 Holy Sons currently in office, and each of them is qualified to run for the Pope in the future. I know that this is not your ambition, Don’t think that your stories don’t seem to be satirizing national religions. If you think about it carefully, there are quite a few dark places.”

Amanda was a little embarrassed, but she still said calmly:
"That's not true. Only people who have done those things will think those plots are ironic. If you are upright, why would you care about these things? Are you right, Priest Ludwig?"

Ludwig laughed with satisfaction and said:

"I like your cleverness, so let's talk about the activities to be prepared for the New Year. The people in the town need to relax, because in the process of opening up, almost no newborns have been born in the past two years. As a The priest actually did not preside over a single baptism. This cannot continue. There must be a stable new population to maintain the town's future development, otherwise there will be faults."

Amanda is convinced that you, a priest, also work part-time in family planning.
