In the weird second dimension of killing gods

Xiangzi nodded slightly and said leisurely: "Do you still remember that when we first met in private, I thought you were a playboy from a mysterious family?"

Huo Xia: "Of course I remember."

"I'd like to apologize first." Xiangzi apologized first, then changed the subject, "I have this impression because I have seen Yin Yang masters from these big families before."

"They are all arrogant and a little annoying."

"excuse me."

After taking a sip of black tea, Xiangzi continued, "Anyway, I participated in two more games during this period, and met a lot of psychics. Their reactions were very strange."

"Whether it's arrogant or humble."

"As long as they are psychics, not people like you and me who have accidentally come into contact with supernatural powers, they all have the idea of ​​being 'superior' deep in their hearts."

Hearing this, Huo Xia rested his elbows on the table and supported his cheek with his hands.

"I really don't want you to say you are 'superior'..."

Xiangzi frowned slightly, "Are you saying I'm arrogant?"

"That's about right." Huo Xia said calmly, "You look gentle, but you're actually very tough. Deep down, you think you're right and everyone else should agree with you. Even if they don't agree now, they will agree in the future."

Xiangzi took a deep breath and put down the teacup.

"What a coincidence, I see you the same way."

Huo Xia shrugged.

Xiangzi sighed and returned to the original topic.

"In short, these psychics who think they are superior to others should have no taboos, but as long as the 'big taboo' is mentioned, they will be as if they are facing a formidable enemy."

"They wouldn't dare do what you did before."

"Whether it's to summon the dead."

“It’s better to invite people from the past to the present.”

"They don't dare to do so, not because of moral reasons or anything like that, but because once they do so, there will inevitably be terrible consequences."

Huo Xia became slightly interested, "What are the consequences?"

Xiangzi uttered a name.

"The Inquisition."

Huo Xia narrowed his eyes slightly.

This name is really famous.

The Inquisition was established by the Dominican Order in 1231 at the order of Pope Gregory IX of the Catholic Church. This court was responsible for investigating, trying and adjudicating what the Catholic Church considered to be heresy, and had imprisoned and executed dissidents.

The Inquisition in the Middle Ages was more normal, more like a court.

By the time Spain rose to prominence, the Inquisition had become notorious and a symbol of "religious persecution of scientists."

Xiangzi explained: "It took me some effort to learn about the existence of the Inquisition."

A simple sentence, but it actually took a lot of effort.

The purpose of participating in the two games was to enter the door to the supernatural world. Only by entering this threshold would others be willing to tell her these things.

"The Inquisition of psychics believes that all miracles come from God, and they should erase the miracles of other gods."

"They take it upon themselves to take in the sacred tools scattered around the world."

"As long as it violates the 'taboo', even if it is a monotheistic divine tool, they will reclaim and destroy it without hesitation."

Xiangzi's little face became serious and he stared at Huoxia intently.

"Japan's Amakusa Shiro and your country's King Hong were both wiped out by the Inquisition, which had the power to destroy a country's regime."

Huo Xia nodded and didn't care.

As if irritated by such an attitude, Xiangzi frowned slightly and his tone became a little sharp.

"You don't seem to understand what I said. Your divine tool may be powerful, but the actions of the Inquisition are relentless. They have been able to maintain their suppression of psychics around the world for hundreds of years. There must be something special about them."

"What do you think I should do?" Huo Xia put down the teacup.

Xiangzi said: "I'm not sure either, but you'd better prepare a way out for yourself."

"for example?"

"For example, we can seek asylum in the west." Xiangzi explained: "The Inquisition has basically no power in the west. Seeking asylum there is the best way out."

Hearing this, Huo Xia couldn't help laughing.

Xiangzi frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing." Huo Xia couldn't suppress the smile on her face anymore. "I just think you're inexplicably cute sometimes, in that silly cute way."

"you!"

Xiangzi's face was covered with a layer of haze, and his eyes were like a heavy hammer, staring at Huoxia dully and hotly.

My thoughts instantly went back to the past, and scenes from a year ago emerged in my mind.

Not even a year.

But for Xiangzi, that period of time seemed to be frozen outside the torrent of time, so clear that it was heartbreaking.

At that time, she rejected her parents' decision and expressed her determination to follow her father.

At that time, the parents' reaction was exactly the same as Huo Xia's in front of them.

That helpless yet slightly angry smile.

This smile was like a cold wind that blew away the air around him and also stung Xiangzi's heart. The anger in his chest rose up, as if an enraged beast was about to break out of its cage.

"President Huo, did I say something wrong?"

Xiangzi asked in a deep voice, with a hint of trembling and unyielding in his voice.

Huo Xia waved her hand gently, the upward curve of the corners of her mouth revealing a hint of amusement, as if she was suppressing the smile in her heart.

His eyes fell on Xiangzi, as if he could see through all appearances.

"Xiangzi, you didn't say anything wrong." He said slowly, "It's just that from my observation, I found that you are a little simple and even naive in some aspects."

As Huo Xia finished speaking, an indescribable atmosphere filled the air. It was an atmosphere mixed with a variety of emotions such as teasing, appreciation, and understanding.

At this moment, Xiangzi seemed to be touched deep in his heart by Huoxia's words.

"Please answer my question directly!"

Xiangzi stared at Huoxia closely, with an expression that showed that he would not give up until he gave her an answer.

Huo Xia was somewhat helpless and could only explain: "I didn't rely on divine tools to break the taboo."

Sacred tool.

That is the remnant of the power of God in this world. The power contained in it is mostly stronger than [spells]. Even some divine tools, if used by the right people, can even unleash one-ten-thousandth of the power of God.

Even a top-notch master can use his magic tool to generate enough power to reduce a building to ashes in an instant, or curse an entire city to death.

Some of these special divine tools can even destroy cities, bring about natural disasters, go back in time, and resurrect the dead...

This is a prop that can disrupt the laws of nature.

Possessing a [Divine Tool] will not attract the Inquisition.

However, misusing the [Divine Tool] will definitely lead to the Inquisition.

As for what counts as “abuse”?

There are no written regulations yet.

However, using the power of God to change the past is definitely an abuse and a violation of taboos.

"That's not a [divine tool], that's [power]."

When Huoxia finished speaking, Xiangzi was stunned.

After a while, she came back to her senses, "What is [Power]?"

Huo Xia spread his hands helplessly, "That's your problem. There are too many things you don't know, so you look ridiculous."

"You are outstanding and have leadership qualities."

"What I said is the truth."

“My choice is the best.”

"This kind of kingly character who always says what he means..."

"I don't hate it."

Huo Xia's tone gradually became deep and somewhat helpless, "The problem is that you are only a high school student. At your age and with the personality of a king, your experience and knowledge are not enough to make you a leader who can never make mistakes."

Xiangzi stared at Huoxia blankly for a long while and then said only one sentence.

"But aren't you that kind of person, too?"

"..."

Huo Xia was speechless.

Just as Xiangzi said, the two people are actually similar. They are both the kind of people who insist on being themselves and have firm beliefs.

I think it is the right thing to do, it is the right thing to do.

If I think you can take on this responsibility, then you can take on this responsibility.

After all, Huoxia and Xiangzi are the same kind of people.

The difference is that Huoxia is the "winner" and can lead others to victory.

But Xiangzi is too naive.

The choice was correct, but the means were all problematic, and ultimately led to the collapse of the entire team.

but……

"I take back what I said." Huoxia looked at Xiangzi seriously, "Your persistence is not ridiculous at all. I was self-righteous. If you knew the full picture of what I know, you would make a better choice than me."

Hearing this, Xiangzi's eyes sparkled and he shook his head, "No, I believe you will make a better choice than me."

"I believe too."

"Believe in yourself?"

"No, trust your judgment."

"..."

Xiangzi looked at him helplessly, "You've gone around in circles, but you're still better off praising yourself, aren't you?"

Huo Xia shrugged and said nothing.

Xiangzi covered his mouth and smiled, then said softly: "I don't know what you are going to do, but you should prepare a way out for yourself."

Huo Xia nodded.

This is indeed the truth.

Although you have a lot of cards, it doesn't hurt to be cautious.

After all, it is an existence that can make all major forces vigilant, and it may have some means beyond imagination.

Moreover, this world is somewhat special.

There is no need to seek asylum, but they can take care of the people around them.

Huoxia temporarily withdrew his thoughts and turned his gaze to Xiangzi with a grateful look.

"Thank you for your concern. I will prepare carefully and will not let myself get into trouble easily."

Xiangzi looked at Huoxia, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

This person really wasn't listening at all.

I recalled the memory of almost dying in the previous game, and how I had to persuade that knight sister to tell me something.

She felt as if her kindness was being taken for granted.
