Huang Angliu knelt down and kowtowed deeply, "I worship the Lord God, please give me a name."
This time, the voice did not answer.
Ling was also hesitant. If she was given a name and accepted faith in that identity, then her existence in this world would be anchored, and she would no longer be a human being.
But Ling did not hesitate for too long. Since the decision had already been made, there was no point in hesitating.
Gaia
So she is not Oshima Reiya, nor is she the giant of light Gaia, but the deity named Gaia who protects all living beings.
This was an extremely familiar process for Huang Angliu. Born in the Yin-Yang family, he had practiced Buddhism since he was a child and prayed to the gods every day. The only difference was that now there was a real god who could listen to his prayers and accept his faith.
"If you don't accept the offering, then what can I do for you?"
[If you really want to do something, then protect the seal for humanity. ]
The seven seals prevented the alien beasts from approaching the River of Oblivion. Unless the seals were broken, the world would continue.
Then Huang Angliu understood.
"I will protect the seal of Tokyo, the Kusanagi sword of Meiji Jingu. Unless I die, I will never let the seal be broken."
He is willing to become the guardian of the seal here for the continuation of this world and the future of mankind.
The voice never sounded again, but Huang Angliu knew that as long as he prayed, the gods would really hear him.
He was about to stand up when he discovered that a device similar to bone conduction headphones had appeared on the ground in front of him.
This is proof of membership in the association.
Of course, it’s not just the Huangangliu, the military will also heavily guard these seven nodes.
However, the node has been embedded in the cracks of space. Even if ordinary people search the Meiji Shrine, they cannot find the Kusanagi sword. If they want to destroy it, they must break the space barrier.
The tide of alien beasts subsided.
Faust lived in seclusion in the darkness.
"Don't run!" Nishijo Nagi threw eight-point light wheels into the darkness, but did not hit any enemy.
Faust disappeared. The room was covered with dust, and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time. The room had been empty for a year, with only dust and cobwebs, and no sign of human presence.
This is not anyone's residence. So the home that Lizi mentioned never existed from the beginning.
Nishijo Nagi was unwilling to give up and jumped towards the darkness. The broken wall revealed another room.
Faust was not there, and the eight-point light wheel just now cut through the wall on the other side at the same time, allowing one to see outside the house through the broken wall.
"Calm down, Nishijo, don't act alone." Goroki reminded. He also chased into the room through the hole, preventing Nishijo from jumping directly out of the seventh floor through the crack in the wall to chase Faust.
The Ultra Armor does allow her to jump from the seventh floor without getting hurt, but it is not a good idea to chase the Dark Giant alone.
That’s enough. Now that the Dark Giant has escaped, the next job is no longer the work of the fighters, but that of the investigation team.
Thinking of this, Goroki casually glanced around. Next to the restaurant was a studio. There were paintings posted all over the walls, and even on the easel there was a half-finished painting.
Unlike the restaurant next door, this room is free of dust and cobwebs. Lizi should be here on weekdays. She doesn't need to prepare three meals a day, she just needs to paint.
Chapter 546: Memory Erasure
In the dark room, Gozo Lumu went to turn on the light, but found that there was no electricity in the room.
It's not surprising, of course, it's surprising that such a house has electricity.
Himeya then walked into the room and turned on the armor's lighting system, and the dark room was replaced by light.
The last person to come in was Gu Men. In the room filled with light, Gu Men did not feel any warmth. He saw the pictures on the wall and the half-finished oil painting on the easel whose paint had not yet dried. He felt his blood curdling and the coldness running straight up from his feet to his head.
What a picture that is!
In the past, every time Komon saw Lizi, it was at the zoo. The girl used pencil sketches to depict the warm animal family. The friendly brushstrokes and gentle feelings were vividly displayed on the paper.
But the pictures here are all black, red, and purple, full of scary monsters! There are realistic styles and impressionistic styles. Here, the warm animal family is twisted into all kinds of weird images, covered with blood, completely like a picture of a strange beast.
Even if she rejected the idea of loneliness in her heart, she could still imagine that scene. It was an abandoned building, in a dark room with no lights and no people. Day after day, the girl mechanically drew horrible pictures here. Those were the pictures in her memory.
Lizi is long gone.
"Why do you want to do this?" Gu Men said in a voice that was almost whispering, "Answer me, Kirarasawa!"
[It’s all because of you, Gumen]
Kirarasawa said that Lizi was targeted because of him, so he killed Lizi. If they had never met, Lizi and her family of four would still be living happily.
It was all his fault. He was the one who killed Lizi's family.
Goromu wanted to say something, but didn't know how to persuade him.
On the other side, Nishijo Nagi took off her helmet and walked a few steps in front of Komon with an expressionless face. Goroki thought she wanted to persuade him, but unexpectedly she raised her foot and kicked the defenseless Komon.
Ikki Komon, who was wearing Ace armor, was kicked into the corner with his whole body bent, knocking several paintings apart.
Oh my, I can't bear to look at it. My girlfriend is really a worry for me. Of course, Goroki knows Saijo's temper, but beating him up like this is a bit too much.
"Nijo, you can't attack your teammates."
"Humph."
That guy is so cowardly and so annoying.
"If you really love your girlfriend, then go and hate the alien beasts. It wasn't you who harmed Saida Riko, it was the alien beasts. Ikki Komon, any alien beast is our enemy. Remember this time, next time you stand in my way, I will chop you down too!"
With Nishijo Nagi's temper, she would really chop him if she said so. She said so and jumped down from the hole in the wall.
Faust ran away, and Captain Hecang's order to gather the troops came from the communicator.
Ikki Komon was still sitting there in a daze.
Goromu walked up to him and patted his shoulder.
"Let's go, Koto. Don't mind what Nagi said, she was talking about herself."
"Herself?"
When Nishijo Nagi was a child, her parents were killed by alien beasts in front of her. She saw it with her own eyes and hated alien beasts very much. She did not tell anyone about this, and only Goroki knew about it in the night raid team.
But since Saijo didn't say it, he certainly wouldn't take the initiative to reveal it to others.
The Saita residence was in a state of disrepair. The walls on both sides had collapsed, and they were load-bearing walls. They had to be repaired. Otherwise, the entire apartment building was in danger of collapse. This was the credit of the Eight-Point Light Wheel, but the later repairs had nothing to do with the Night Raid Team.
The Chidori family also had a damaged house.
The battle didn't last long. In just over ten minutes, Sosuke Sagara killed seven small alien beasts. Fortunately, before the "big guy" appeared, the alien beast tide retreated.
During these ten minutes, Sagara used machine guns and threw bombs in the living room, so that the place looked like a disaster site in a war zone. Especially the side near the balcony, a large part of it even collapsed.
The neighbors were probably terrified, but it didn't matter, their memories would only end tonight. Soon a special department would come to check the water meter and weave other memories for them.
Be it a gas explosion or a fire, that's what happened.
Including Chidori.
"Do I have to lose my memory too? I don't want to!"
With his hands on his hips, a familiar and headache-inducing posture, Sagara felt that the person he was protecting was being petty again.
"It's okay. They'll only erase your memory for a few hours. There won't be any aftereffects, probably."
"The 'probably' at the end is a bit suspicious. Erasing memories will definitely make people dumber, right?"
Chidori stood in front of Sousuke with some distrust.
By the way, because when Sosuke broke into the girl's living room, she was taking a bath in the bathroom, so now she was just wearing a skirt and coat, not even underwear. Maybe because the smoke of war was still in the room, Chidori didn't notice this.
Sousuke shifted his gaze slightly unnaturally and looked towards the ceiling.
"I haven't investigated it, but I think the memory police's memory erasure technology is trustworthy."
"Memory Police? So that's the name of the team? And what about you? Are you also a member of the government army?"
"I am not a member of the government army. The unit number I belong to is confidential."
Actually, Chidori had heard of "Mithril" before, but that memory had been erased. So this time was the same, even if Chidori was told, she would forget it again.
Forgetting is a good thing. Chidori just needs to live in the sun, without any alien beasts, only some cockroaches and rats that don't need her to worry about them.
Killing cockroaches and rats is your job.
There was no other reason, because protecting Chidori was the mission assigned to him by Mithril. He had been learning assassination since he was four years old, and had been active in the Middle East since he was eight years old. Fighting was just a part of his daily routine.
“I don’t want to forget.”
Sosuke was listening to the headphones and didn't pay attention to Chidori's voice. In the headphones was Cruz Werba, his teammate in charge of support, informing him that the TLT's memory troops were approaching. It was expected to arrive downstairs in three minutes, so they had to retreat.
"I'm leaving now. Someone will come to repair your house. Just treat it as..."
"I told you! I don't want to forget!"
Chidori yelled so loudly that even she was startled. She would usually explode like a hedgehog, but this time it was different.
So Sagara looked at her in surprise.
"But Chidori, it's better to forget about this kind of thing."
"I know! Of course I know about this. Seeing those monsters will give people nightmares. The thought that there are really such things in the world makes people want to jump off the building immediately. They don't want to live in such a world. But those are real. Compared with nightmares, I don't want to live in a fake world even more."
"Do you understand? Sousuke, I appreciate you protecting me, but I also want to know what really happened."
"That, that, Chidori, is too...too close!"
Perhaps to increase her momentum, Chidori did get very close to him. She was usually careless and didn't pay much attention to this. She could smell the fresh fragrance of the girl after she had just taken a bath. When Sosuke climbed over the balcony, Chidori thought her house was robbed, so she flushed the water, put on a coat, and ran out of the bathroom, holding a baseball bat in her hand.
Chidori didn't even wear any underwear. I have to say that she has a great figure, and she managed to push up the neckline to a considerable size without any cheating.
The scene at this time was quite stimulating for Sosuke, who had been single since birth. Even though he had not lost his composure in the previous battles, he was breathing rapidly and even coughed a few times.
"I don't want it. I said I don't like that. Those are my own memories. Don't I have the right to decide whether to forget them or keep them? Sousuke, you must have a way, right? A way to prevent the memories from being erased."
Sosuke does have an idea. But he's not sure if it's the right thing to do.
Cruz Weiba's whistle came from the communicator, and he heard the quarrel between the two.
"It seems our 'angel' has his own ideas too."
Angel is Chidori's code name in the secret bank's dynamic files. Sagara Sosuke's code name is URUZ-7, and Cruz Viba is URUZ-6
"URUZ-6, do you have anything to say?"
