I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

After dismissing Jane, who was nagging because she cared about him, Stephen let out a long sigh and hung up the phone.

"Stephen?"

"It's still the same." Regarding the questions raised by the familiar old man, Stephen waved his hand to indicate that they had all been dealt with.

To outsiders, the tacit understanding of knowing each other's meaning just by calling their names is like playing a charade, but Klaus seems to be used to this.

It was seven thirty in the morning, and Stephen turned the key of the jeep, and the engine let out a pleasant roar.

"Let's go, Klaus!" He turned his head and patted the chair in the passenger seat beside him, and urged Klaus who was flipping through the travel brochure at the magazine kiosk not far away.

"Excuse me." Klaus smiled at the stall owner, then took out his wallet and took out a few US dollar bills to buy the travel brochure in his hand, but the stall owner, who seemed to be pale with fright, was in front of the tall red-haired man. After leaving for a long time, he didn't intend to put away the banknotes in front of him.

"Oh, God bless, I've never seen such a horrible man..."

......

"There are quite a few people here who believe in Christianity. It seems that 'Oh, God!' has almost become the established greeting sentence when they meet you. What do you think about this?" Stephen was driving on the street. Looking at the Statue of Liberty erected in the distance, chatting with Klaus beside him about what he heard and seen along the way.

"Maybe it's because of my appearance." Klaus answered Stephen's joke very seriously.

".

...There is really nothing you can do against people like you. If faith is really effective, I suggest you pray that God can give you a kind skin.But no matter how hard they pray, that kind of vain grace will never come to them. "

"But at least it can become their spiritual pillar, and this belief supports them not to fall due to temporary difficulties. I still have basic respect for this." Klaus closed the booklet in his hand, The sea breeze blowing through the convertible jeep made his red hair flutter and flutter.

"It won't get dark until around five o'clock in the afternoon, and we still have a rare free time to wander around." Stephen stepped on the brakes slowly following the stopped traffic ahead, "You have been watching for so long, what do you want to go A place? It’s almost New Year’s Day...Jane specifically asked me to bring her some presents from here before she would forgive us.”

Klaus raised the corners of his mouth slightly as if he had imagined Jane's expression when he said this on the phone, and said, "Then how about bringing her back a cross necklace."

"Ha, a necklace? That's fine, although I just want to buy a bunch of postcards and send them back..."

"Stephen!"

The chat between the two was interrupted by Klaus's sudden roar. Stephen, who had turned serious, looked wherever he could see. The scene in front of him made his eyes widen, showing an expression of disbelief.

"This... what happened?"

The rumbling rumble that seemed like an earthquake was about to happen rumbled in his ears. At first, Stephen thought it was the industrial pulse of the city, but the scene in front of him could no longer be associated with any aspect related to "industry" .

Dark purple clouds spread across the sky like a dense fog. Accompanied by rumbling vibrations and loud noises, the traffic gathered in front was violently blown away like waves. The screams of people and the honking of cars mingled together. , the scene suddenly fell into chaos.

"Reverse!"

Before Klaus yelled, Stephen shifted into gear neatly, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the strange wave of traffic ahead was approaching at a very high speed, and the engine of the jeep beneath him gave a powerful roar. The roar, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of the tires rubbing against the ground, slammed into the car behind, and backed away against the flow of traffic to avoid the incoming waves ahead.

"what is that!"

"do not know."

The jeep retreated to the open intersection, drifted in place, turned around, and fled in the opposite direction to the source of the waves.

Like Klaus and the others, the others were completely unaware of what happened. The oppressive thick fog spread across the city in a short time, even blocking the sun hanging in the sky.

"Did the family members of the blood world do it? This is too exaggerated!" Stephen is holding the steering wheel, the accelerator under his feet has already stepped on the ground, and the surrounding scenery is retreating rapidly with the high speed, but even though the speed has soared to the extreme , They also couldn't get rid of the thick fog that seemed to be slowly eroding behind them.

Huge explosions and crackling sounds resembling rock breaking continued to sound behind him. The moment Klaus turned his head to look in the direction of the sound source, his pupils shrank into the most dangerous needle-like shape!

The towering buildings seem to be broken in the middle by an invisible force, breaking away from the shackles of gravity and rushing straight to the sky. This kind of scene is not as simple as one building or two, but radiates from the sudden change of dense fog. The dots spread out at an extremely fast speed, and the buildings were uprooted as a result, and the people in them fell from the sky like ants, screaming like ants.

It seems that the gravity in this area has undergone a weird transformation that completely subverts the cognition of physics!

Boom--!

The almost continuous roar overwhelmed the screams and wailing of the people, and the broken buildings were flying irregularly in mid-air, or stagnating like weightlessness. As time went by, the heavy fog completely obscured the sunlight. Overshadowing, when the hands of the clock point to 10:[-] in the morning, [-] minutes before entering [-]:[-] in the morning, the whole of New York seems to be plunged into darkness.

An almost suffocating sense of despair and powerlessness surrounded Klaus and Stephen.

Regarding the scene in front of them, the two of them were completely powerless...

Perhaps only by praying to God to take action, can such a doomsday scene that is almost tearing the whole world apart in front of you be restored.

Historical Transition Period: The Origin of Hersharemz Rot and Libra ([-])

The entire center of New York City seemed to be torn open a huge hole by a mysterious force, and all the abnormal effects that subverted ordinary people's cognition began to happen one after another.

Gravity began to become disordered, roads and bridges were thrown into the air like rags pulled from the ground, and buildings collapsed and reorganized like dismantled Lego blocks.

As the effect of the city's collapse rapidly expands, people can be seen everywhere who have been killed by collapsed buildings and vehicle wreckage falling from the sky. Flames, explosions, and wailing have become the only melody of the city at present.

"Don't lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, power, and glory are all yours forever, Amen..."

boom!

The collapsed concrete floor smashed the kneeling believers into bright red meat. Those who prayed for God's salvation were not favored by the gods they believed in because of their devout prayers. They were just mortal bodies that were hardened. Life ushered in the death shower composed of steel and concrete

The end.

At first, Klaus wanted to save lives from the collapse of the entire city, but what a person can do in this catastrophe is too little, too little, after being strongly rejected by Stephen, the two Start intelligence gathering with the purpose of finding out the source of this catastrophe, hoping to find an opportunity to stop this disaster.

But it all seems to be in vain...

The sky was shrouded in a dark purple night, and the dense fog that had almost condensed into substance did not stop spreading at all. From the huge vortex that appeared in the sky at the beginning, until now, the entire sky has been completely covered by dense fog.

The roads and buildings have almost been completely turned into ruins. Human limbs, broken arms and vehicle wreckage can be seen everywhere. The signal lampposts that have been smashed into twists just fell crookedly on the side of the road, flickering with faint light, as if they would go out at any time.

One of the most prosperous cities in the world has just turned into a strange dead city.

The bright headlights pierced the darkness and illuminated the gravel-filled road transparently. Stephen drove the jeep through the ruins.

From time to time, like a meteor, several buildings that were torn into two halves flashed across the head, and were reassembled by unknown forces.

"Seventeen hours have passed since I was shrouded in fog. Is the collapse and reconstruction of the city still unfinished?" Stephen withdrew his gaze from the half of the building that floated over his head again, and looked at the man holding a travel brochure and carefully flipping through it. Claus.

"You still hold that kind of thing, the whole city has changed, so it's useless, right?"

"The shape of the building can be a clue," Krauss replied. "The top of the General Electric Building just passed us."

Stephen's expression was a little surprised: "Have you compared them one by one? Your memory and seriousness are amazing...."

After a brief silence, Stephen spoke again: "I said, if the whole world has been shrouded in this fog, what will happen in the future?"

"I do not know."

Stephen sighed softly: "The opponent this time is incomparable to the monsters we dealt with before. It is an existence that can easily change the whole New York like Lego blocks. There is nothing we can do..."

"parking!"

Klaus' voice made Stephen subconsciously step on the brakes, and when the jeep stopped steadily, the roar of the engine subsided.A baby's cry came faintly from the ruins.

Under the illumination of the headlights of the vehicle, a woman who lost her breath and fell under the ruins with a pool of blood can be seen in front of a baby who is still in its infancy.It seemed that this great mother threw the child out of her arms at the last moment, in order to prevent him from becoming a young soul under the collapsed stone slab like herself.

Klaus walked to the baby on the ground step by step and held it in his arms.

"Stephen, it's too early to make a judgment when the situation is unclear. First, we must do our best to survive and collect intelligence in the process..."

"But the most important thing now is to send this child to a safe place."

Stephen met Klaus' resolute eyes looking at him, and said helplessly, "Yeah..."

The pair then traveled to Bradbury General Hospital with the baby recovered from the rubble.

"There's only the main building left here..." Looking at the hospital building that was almost torn in half in the fog, Stephen lamented the tenacious vitality of the hospital.

In the windows there, there was even a faint light flickering.In the city that is still collapsing, it seems like a beacon of hope.

At the gate of the hospital, only the armed militia guards spontaneously organized by the citizens remained. Seeing two tall figures slowly approaching from the thick fog, the two guards quickly got up from the ground and raised their guns.

"stop!"

The tall red-haired man was holding an invisible object in his arms, and the man in the suit beside him was raising his hands, indicating that the two of them were not malicious.

Klaus shouted to the two men who raised their guns to him: "We have the baby, we hope you can protect him."

.....

After being interrogated, the two successfully walked into the hospital with the baby in their arms. The electricity had been completely cut off. Several candle lamps were hung on the pillars in the corridor to provide extremely limited lighting for the corridor. It was full of fleeing people, and many of them were seriously injured.

The stretcher bed that was quickly pushed by the nurse from the middle of the aisle made a rattling sound, and Klaus immediately stopped moving forward to let them pass first.

The busy nurses didn't even have time to look up at the gentleman who made way for them, and they hurried into the darkness.

"Well, I don't remember such a big man in this hospital."

Following a voice, a short middle-aged man with gray temples came out with his white coat pocketed.

"We came from outside." Klaus explained to the approaching doctor.

"What? From this great collapse?"

"Yes, actually I'm here to send this child off..."

Without too many brief greetings, the doctor immediately called a nurse to pick him up after seeing the child in Klaus's arms, and then asked the two: "So, how is the situation outside?" ?”

Stephen shook his head helplessly, "Well..."

"Isn't it clear in a few words?"

"Yes...."

"We are here with each other."

"doctor."

A nurse's call came from behind, and the doctor looked back.

"The patient in bed 2 said it was too painful to sleep..."

"Inject 5 milliliters of morphine."

"Yes." After receiving the instruction, the nurse turned and left immediately.

And the doctor seemed to be uneasy and told the nurse's back: "Don't forget the laxative and antiemetic!"

"Yes!"

In the corridor, there was only the answering voice of the nurse, and her figure turned around the corner of the corridor and disappeared from sight.

"I've been so busy that my old bones can't take it anymore."

After complaining subconsciously, the doctor looked at another female doctor leaning against the wall.

There was no fluctuation in her calm eyes, and the whole person stood there like a statue.

The doctor called out to her as if he was not surprised: "Luciana, wake up! Although the bed is already full, the sofa in the preparation room is still empty, right?"

It seemed that this call brought Luciana back to her senses. She raised her head and looked at the male doctor next to Klaus.

"Ah...Doctor, really, did I actually fall asleep?"

"Yes, fell asleep standing up." The doctor replied.

"Is that so... No wonder my body feels lighter, I thought it was an illusion..."

Luciana came in front of everyone with her knuckle-cracking body moving.

Klaus said on the side: "It looks like he is sleeping soundly. I have never seen a person who falls asleep standing up so gracefully."

This sincere but ironic statement made Luciana couldn't help but smile and said: "You can talk, if it weren't for the special situation now, I would give you a free physical examination, Mr. Big Man ~"

Klaus bent down and held out his hand to the female doctor in front of him.

"My name is Klaus V. Reinhertz."

"Luciana Estevez, welcome to this hospital."

Two hands, one big and one small, held together.

Historical Transition Period: The Origin of Hersharemz Rot and Libra ([-])

When Klaus and Stephen stayed in the hospital temporarily, the places where a large number of survivors gathered would obviously attract existences other than humans.

The sound of gunfire tore through the silent air, causing slight ripples to the hot tea placed on the cardboard box.

Klaus got up immediately, looked at Stephen and walked out immediately.

"Inside, go inside!"

The staff of the hospital are evacuating the survivors who stayed in the hall and the corridor to the inside. Like frightened animals, people crowded and fled to the inside of the main building.

And Klaus and Stephen became the only two figures walking out against the flow of people.
