Suzanne looked at Lumian, who was wrapped in crimson flames and rushing towards her, frantically drawing energy from the vendors, pedestrians, and tenants hanging from the tree, trying to regain her fighting ability as soon as possible.
During this process, she was not worried that Lumian would really hurt her, because she was at the top of the canopy, and the opponent couldn't climb up at all, and she was now equivalent to becoming one with the "Shadow Tree", and the attack without divinity would at most cause her to suffer minor injuries, unable to kill her, and not even severely damaged.
Kicking and kicking, Lumian ran wildly to the area occupied by branches and vines, where one or two hundred humans were already hanging.
The brownish-green things tried to wrap around him and pierce him, but they were all ignited by the crimson flames on his body, and he retreated in a hurry.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound from the ground, and the brownish-green giant tree suddenly sank, leaving only seven or eight meters high in an instant.
This brought about a violent shaking of the entire wilderness, and Lumian stumbled around, making it difficult to move forward for a while.
…………
The rumbling, earthquake-like movement caused the crystal chandelier in the banquet hall to shake to a certain extent, and most of the people present showed frightened expressions, and those who reacted faster even hid directly under the long table covered with white dinner cloth.
Today's rotation protects the grid. Artois's team consists of hybrids Imre, Valentine, and an extraordinary "warrior" named Antoine.
They also noticed the anomaly, tacitly separated Imre, and he ran to the window, looking at the source of the problem.
Imre saw that in the direction of Chaotic Street, Nightingale Street, and White Coat Street, many houses had tilted to a certain extent, but they had not yet collapsed, and their surfaces were more or less covered with brownish-green branches and vines.
Compared to them, the giant brown and green trees located in the chaotic street are more eye-catching, and they continue to sink down with many nodules and flowers.
This scene lasts only a few seconds before returning to "normal", as if a failed oil painting has been covered by another work.
"What happened?" Yuge. Artois walked to the window and asked calmly.
Imre did not hide it, slightly suppressed his voice, and replied calmly:
"There were abnormal incidents in the areas of Chaotic Street, Nightingale Street and White Coat Street."
Messy Street, Nightingale Street, White Coat Street...... Jian Na, who had just approached the nearby window and couldn't see the scene just now, was stunned in place.
Two names immediately appeared in her mind:
Charles, Franca......
Did they encounter an abnormal event? Jian Na's heart slowly sank, and she instinctively set her sights on Yuge. Artois.
She saw the corners of the congressman's mouth raised subtly, as if it was a little difficult to hide the joy in her heart.
Is it him...... It was he and those evil god believers who did it! Jian Na instantly made a judgment, her eyes darkened a little, and an uncontrollable sense of despair welled up in her heart.
In the face of the attack of the evil god believers, in the face of such an anomaly, can Franka and Ciel still be spared?
With my current strength, can I rush over to help?" Will it drag them down?
At this moment, Jian Na felt that the "pillars" that supported her life, after losing her mother, were almost gone with two friends who stood firmly by her side.
And this is all caused by the believers of the evil gods, it is Yuge. Artois is harmful!
This reminded her of what Franka said when she took magic potions and became an "assassin", specifically warning herself not to come into contact with evil gods:
"Contact with evil gods will inevitably bring disaster.
"Such a person will not only become crazy and lose his original personality, but he will also drag the people around him, whether they recognize it or not, and fall into darkness together.
"If those people are not eliminated, the influence of the evil god will always exist, and the pain will come again and again, and it will never end."
And now, Yuge. Artois is the source of all disasters in the market area.
Jian Na lowered her head, not daring to let herself look at Yu Ge again. Artois fears that the pain and hatred in his eyes will be detected.
She hates it!
But she could only tell herself that her brother Julian was still alive, but there was a certain mental problem, and there was hope that he would be cured.
When this banquet was over, when the factory owners had "given" compensation and paid off all the debts, I would take Julian out of the market area and the botanical garden and live elsewhere to avoid the pain that would come later...... Jane constantly soothes herself with such words, not letting the emotions in her heart explode.
"Why is there another abnormal event?" Yuge. Artois questioned Imre, Valentine, and Antoine.
Imre smiled bitterly:
"I just saw that tree, it has appeared several times in Trier's history for so many years, but it has not been completely solved."
Since joining Trier's "Purifier" team, he has known that there are many dangers hidden underground in Trier that are difficult to truly purify, and the brownish-green giant tree is one of them.
He and his superiors and teammates couldn't figure out why Trier was built on those things in the first place.
Not equal to the grid. Artois questioned again, and Imre added:
"Since the anomaly has been discovered, it won't take long for it to be quelled."
As a member of the elite team of the "Purifiers", he knew that Trier was different from other capitals because of the long-term existence of dangers underground, so the past royal family and the current parliamentary government agreed that the two major churches secretly sent an angel or a "0" level seal to Trier in case of accidents.
Of course, when the royal family and government were very strong, the angels of the church would also shy away, for example, during the time of Roselle the Great.
Once the anomaly brought by that strange giant tree is exposed, it will soon usher in a thunderous blow, although it cannot be completely destroyed, but at least it can be kept safe for a long time.
…………
After the brief and violent "Shadow Tree" settled, the wilderness became stable again, Gabriel, Pavard. Nissen and the others were still hanging from the branches, and their faces began to turn white and black, as if they were overtired.
Lumian stabilized his figure and continued to run towards the brown-green giant tree that was not far away with the crimson flames.
At this time, Suzanne. Matisse recovered a lot, and Lumian's figure was reflected in his eyes, waiting for him to attack as soon as he entered the range of his current abilities.
Behind Lumian, a shadow broke away from its original owner and quietly pounced on his vest.
That's Charlotte. Calvino, she is "playing" the shadow!
She was not the host of the ceremony and far away from the canopy, she had not suffered backlash and strong pollution before, and was not much weaker.
At this moment, a gunshot came from the distance.
The iron-black bullet was too far away and not accurate enough, and flew past Charlotte's body, but it also stopped her attempt.
Wearing a women's shirt, light breeches, and red boots, Franca appeared on the edge of the wilderness and shouted at Lumian's back with a curse grin:
"Damn, don't you treat me as a teammate?"
…………
Seeing that the block scene has returned to "normal", Yu Ge. Artois returned to the center of the banquet hall with pale golden champagne, stood in front of everyone, and delivered a speech according to the process:
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure that you are here for this sympathy luncheon, and please let us observe a minute of silence for those who have unfortunately passed away......
"As you have seen just now, there has been another accident in the market area, we cannot continue like this, we must re-establish a more effective and flexible mechanism to deal with similar situations.
"I think you are all full of hatred and fear of the accident, because your relatives may have died in the accident, may have been seriously injured, or may have been stimulated by it, have a nervous breakdown, and become a madman......"
Hearing this, Jian Na suddenly raised her head and looked at Yu Ge again. Artois.
He just said that he was "stimulated, had a nervous breakdown, and became a madman"!
Under normal circumstances, even if the situation is listed, it should not be said in such detail, and a simple sentence of mental disorder is enough.
Therefore, Yuge. Artois knew that someone would have a mental breakdown and become a madman due to a chemical plant explosion, and then he was afraid that others would not know what he had done, so he deliberately mentioned it explicitly in his speech? It's like a criminal who loves to return to the scene to admire his masterpiece? Jana's heart was instantly filled with emotions such as absurdity, hatred, and fear.
If her guess is true, Julian's nervous breakdown is likely influenced by the Evil God Believers!
"Can he still be cured like this, can he still be saved?
"If the source cannot be cut off, even if I leave the market area with the cured Julian, there may still be hidden dangers and problems in the future!" Jane has never been as desperate as she is now, and it seems that no matter how she goes, she can't get out of the darkness.
Her pupils gradually dilated, clearly reflecting Yuge. Artois's figure.
And hear Yuge. After Artois faintly pointed the finger at the two major churches, Imre, Valentine, and Antoine all lowered their expressions and lowered their eyes slightly.
…………
The xenoplane space that the "Shadow Tree" itself has been broken everywhere, or flowing with dark slime, or a piece is directly missing, as if it has been thrown into the endless void.
Suddenly, at the Star Radiance Gate, which had shrunk back into the gap, a little light lit up.
It became brighter and brighter, as if it had turned into the sun, illuminating every part of this space extremely clearly, without shadows.
A female figure wearing a white robe with gold thread appeared at the source of the light, she seemed to be purely composed of light, in a translucent state, with green eyes, blond hair raised, and a beautiful but holy appearance.
The patron angel of Trier, St. Vieve.
…………
In the applause, Yu Ge finished his speech. Artois continued to walk among the families of the victims with that glass of champagne, warm, cordial, and credible.
Jian Na closed her eyes, walked slowly to a long table covered with white dinner cloth, picked up a dinner plate, put some food in it, and took a longer silver fork to use.
While eating, she slowly and slightly dazed approached Yuge. Artois.
After shortening the distance between the two sides to two meters, she posed to chat with Mr. Congressman.
Surrounded by team members and protected by official extraordinaires, Yu Ge Artois also noticed Jana, smiled kindly, and waited for her to walk up to her.
Jane passed by her secretary Rhone and stood in the place of Hu Ge. Artois is one step away.
Before the two started talking, another tremor and roar came from the ground, and the direction of the chaotic street and the white coat street seemed to be much brighter.
Cassandra, Huge, who are concerned about the results. Artois and the others followed their instincts, and at the same time turned their bodies sideways and looked out the window.
Seeing this scene, Jian Na closed her eyes again, and then, she took a step out and looked at Yu Ge. Artois raised the silver fork in his hand!
The emotions that had accumulated in her heart during this period exploded:
You despicable politician who brings disaster and darkness to the market district!
You evil god believer whose conscience is eaten by dogs!
You bastard who killed my mother and drove my brother crazy!
Die now!
If you don't die, the pain in the market area will not end, and darkness will always hang over this place, preventing the sun from rising.
Yes, you are surrounded by evil god believers, protected by official extraordinary people, and can make anyone who tries to deal with you lose their lives here, so it deters them and makes them afraid to attack.
But what if there was an assassin who didn't want to leave alive?
Even if I can't kill you, I will let your people expose the gifts of the evil gods and be captured by the official extraordinary!"
Jane Na poured all the hatred, all the unwillingness, and all the pain in her heart into the long-handled silver fork in her hand, and used the assassin's "full blow" to stab Huge. Artois turned sideways over his exposed right eye.
At this moment, she saw the surprise, confusion and fear on the other person's face, and saw Huge. Artois hurriedly looked at Cassandra and tried to ask for help.
Cassandra was blocked by Imre, the "purifier" who took a step diagonally at some point, and failed to detect what was happening immediately.
With a pop, the long-handled silver fork in Jianna's right hand was deeply inserted into Yuge. Artois's eye socket penetrated directly into his brain.
Yuge. Artois's expression was dull, and the previous surprise, confusion and fear were still frozen on his face, and there was no time for much change, only a strong sense of despair.
Jian Na watched the bright red blood splatter and gushed out, looking at Yuge. Artois's face in the light gradually collapsed, looking at the red sparks blooming around him, not knowing whether it was the muzzle of the gun or the supernatural ability, he smiled and closed his eyes, giving up resistance.
Mom, I saw the light.
