Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 432 Just Like a Human

754
Amon knocked on the long bronze table in front of him, and the table turned into gray mist and dissipated.

After the response, the connection between Him and the Crimson Star was gradually severed. When Klein threw the Sefirah Castle to Amon, several people happened to be praying to Mr. Fool. Among them, Derrick Berg from the God-Forsaken Land aroused Amon's interest.

He casually looked at the "Silver City" with the vision of Sefirah Castle for a while, and found that the place was not only far from the Silver Kingdom in his memory, but also found that he did not seem to have carefully observed the former Silver Kingdom.

After Fraud coaxed the other party for a few words, Amon threw him aside.

The huge Sefirah Castle was completely empty, with only the high-backed chair that Amon was sitting on, and the black veil and cross that He had thrown far away.

He did not like the combination of the long table and several chairs, which reminded him of the "Redemption Rose" and that group of shameful traitors.

The symbol on the high-back chair has changed from the "Fortune Teller" symbol composed of "Pupilless Eyes, Lines of Change" to an "Error" that looks like an irregular clock. Amon stayed in the chair for a while and regained some of the feeling he had when he was the "Angel of Time". However, this sense of freshness and nostalgia soon disappeared, because no one would pray to the "Angel of Time" or the "Fool" anymore.

People always have some strange fears about the "God of Mischief". In the Third Age, believers always spread the legend that "praying to the Angel of Time will bring such and such". But this is just like believing that the "God of War" is invincible. Amon was not so bored at that time that he would play games with believers. After all, there were not many people willing to pray to him. No matter how curious he was, he would make them return to normal after playing with them.

After a while, Amon felt a little bored, so he waved his hand and gray mist floated up, but it did not condense into a shape for a long time, and it circled in this empty "castle" like a gray tornado.

The excitement when he first obtained Sefirah Castle quickly passed. After Amon walked around inside, he suddenly felt unhappy.

Because He realized that there was no one with whom He could share this.

If Adam was still there, He could at least use the vision of Sefirah Castle to suddenly appear in front of the paranoid who had been hiding in psychological invisibility for many years, and then suddenly appear in front of him, or arrange a circle of secret dolls and clones around Him, wearing monocles and smiling at Him, laughing at himself for finding the Sefirah faster than Him. Adam did not dare to touch the Chaos Sea, but someone sent Sefirah Castle to him.

If the real creator was still there, he could go to the East Continent to show off his power for a while, or give the traitors a taste of their own medicine.

But the traitor Leothecus was already dead, and Herabergen was hiding half-dead. Leodro frequently searched the spirit world, persistently looking for traces of the Source Castle, frightening the Seven Lights of the spirit world so much that they trembled and dared not speak loudly.

Amon found that he could not find anyone to share his feelings and thoughts with. Although mythical creatures do not rely on emotions to live, and do not have the instinct to share and get feedback, he, who was educated by the ancient sun god, still has a very "human" personality. No one talked, which was no big deal. Amon could communicate with himself. Although he knew what the clone wanted to say, praising the original body a thousand times or ten thousand times could also make him feel good for a few minutes.

Thinking of this, Amon suddenly regretted erasing that abnormal clone. At least he might be able to say something different.

He helped Klein to cover up, so what kind of expression would he show if he knew that Klein took the initiative to give him Sefirah Castle?
He likes those fragile and worthless ordinary objects, so why not give them to him? Give him some precious freedom, and then take away everything from him. He will surely give Him some very pleasant feedback.

After thinking for a while and being in a daze for a while, Amon jumped off the bronze high-back chair and walked into the depths of the gray fog.

The high-back chair also turned into mist and disappeared. Amon trudged alone in this world constructed of endless mist. He looked up at the six steps in the distance - he had been up there before and saw some souls he had never seen before. He suspected that this was the secret of "before the First Age" that he had been pursuing. At that time, there were humans living and civilizations existed, and his father was one of them.

He grabbed a few souls at random and put them into his clone and the secret doll he had just made, reading their memories.

Amon walked past the steps and entered the depths of the gray fog. Dark mist surged and the fog of history slowly unfolded before his eyes.

The angel, who had the authority of "history" for the first time with the help of Sefirah Castle, looked around curiously, and then entered the mist with a purpose.

He walked in, and soon, countless flowing flames appeared in the fog.

The dogs of Fulgrim emerged from the mist of history one after another. They approached the new "Master of Sefirah Castle" with curiosity, wondering why He was different from the last time. Seeing that Amon did not show any sign of allowing them to approach, they followed Him from a distance with some restraint.

Amon ignored those gray fog creatures that were only half Sequence 3. He walked straight into history, and countless historical fragments lit up like bright lights. Wherever he walked, almost every piece of historical fragment was lit up.

The Fifth Epoch was rapidly receding, and the fallen Four Emperors reappeared, majestic and awe-inspiring. Then the madness in the Blood Emperor's eyes faded, and he became Alistair Tudor, still an Archon, and then the "Duke of Entropy" under the Black Emperor. The Demon Wolf returned to the Hornachis Mountains, and the three conquerors reappeared and gathered in Solomon's Empire. The Black Emperor sat on the throne and wore the crown of God. The era of mankind officially began.

He walked forward and the sky suddenly darkened. The East Continent in the midst of the catastrophe came into his sight. Everything was just like the day he least wanted to recall. Amon paused for a moment and then continued forward. He saw that sin had returned to the gods, the sun had broken through the haze and darkness of the sky, the glory of the Creator enveloped the earth, angels surrounded him, and the heavens and the earth were filled with praise.

Amon stopped.

He saw himself in that fragment of history, a more immature and childish self than he is now. At that time, he stole the roof of the Creator's temple on a whim, hid in the dark, and shook his head and sighed while watching the angel kings and his father in a meeting.

After a short silence, Amon took another step and walked slowly over into the fragment of history.

In that fragment of history, the former wind angels, cherubim and pure white angels were all sitting at the table, arguing about the next policy of the country they governed. Medici tried to get some military funds from them to drive the giants and dragon remnants away. Adam was trying to find Amon back, and the ancient sun god shrouded in glory was watching all this with a smile. Ouroboros held a pen and lowered his head to paint on the table, turning this picture full of life into a religious masterpiece.

Amon walked into the fragments of history, and the "He" hiding in the corner naturally disappeared.

At this time, Adam seemed to have just found his brother. He lurked beside Amon and then appeared, whispering:
"Amon, you shouldn't play pranks at this time. Father and his family are in a meeting. Hurry and return the roof of the conference hall."

Amon looked at this beardless brother, and thought of the "paranoid" who wanted to revive his father after his father's death. He suddenly found it a little funny - we really don't need family affection, but now there are only two of us in the world who can trust each other, and you insist on making me lose you too? Besides, is the one you got back your father? - He didn't say anything, but Adam's brows relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Okay, give it back now, and don't do it again next time."

Amon said nothing and did nothing, but the roof suddenly returned, covering the original sky.

The ancient sun god sitting at the end also noticed his second son at this time, or rather, He had always known that Amon was hiding there, but still allowed the other party to play a harmless little prank.

The ancient sun god nodded to him: "Amon."

"Yes, Father."

Amon responded subconsciously.

Then, He was stunned, and suddenly realized that he had not heard this person's voice for two epochs.

"Since you are back, sit down." The ancient sun god said again, and he raised his chin towards a certain position at the table. Of course, there is also a position for the "Angel of Time" in the temple of the gods.

Amon pinched the monocle on his right eye, turned around, walked to his own seat, and sat down casually. Anyway, the angel kings basically wouldn't talk to him, and Adam just preferred to observe rather than whisper with his brothers.

At the same time, a little crow with white eye circles jumped up as if it had springs in its claws, jumped out from under the seat of the ancient sun god, and jumped upwards with great purpose.

It flapped its wings, flew onto the handrail, jumped onto the father's arm, and finally jumped onto the father's shoulder and squatted down comfortably.

……

After finishing another afternoon's work, Letty Orr stretched out her body in a corner of the hospital and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then she walked to the small hospital bathroom and rubbed the blood stain on her white coat under the faucet as usual.

She only has this one work suit, but after being blessed by Taofik, it has strong defensive and bulletproof functions, and can also resist the mental pollution of some indulgent factions. It is still a very practical mid-series extraordinary item.

Both its effect and significance are irreplaceable.

If it got dirty, although there would be many patients willing to help her clean it, Audrey didn't want to trouble others.

It was almost dinner time, and the bathroom was empty, but it was filled with the smell of disinfectant and blood. The hospital was just completed and delivered last month, and the entire construction work was done by a zombie who had worked as a folk architect before joining the Indulgence Faction and embarking on an extraordinary path. Tawfik, who was in charge of the hospital, investigated and found that this person had a good reputation in the small town where she lived before joining the Indulgence Faction, and was a good citizen who was driven into a desperate situation by the colonization. In addition, she guaranteed that she could complete the entire project including the design by herself, so the funding was allowed.

So, the architect led his few zombies and successfully built the entire hospital within a week like a child playing with clay sculptures. Although the design was not very good, it was at least sufficient.

In the process, she seemed to have found her former self and her former life, and did not show any indulgence or out-of-control behavior. The work effectively alleviated her madness, and she was given a certain degree of sentence reduction, with the labor reform service term reduced from 50 years to 48 years.

Richard Ernst thought highly of this group of people and selected this architect as the advanced model of the month. He hoped that all the members of the indulgence faction whose condition was not so serious would actively learn from her, break away from the endless madness and ideas of bloody revenge as soon as possible, recall what they really expected of life and what they really wanted, and use their expectations for life and the future to fight against the madness brought by indulgence.

After the hospital was built, Richard quickly purchased a batch of 90% new medical equipment and hardware facilities at an incredibly fast speed. Then the Extraordinary People and ordinary people worked together to prepare all the necessities such as beds, sheets, curtains, medicine bottles, etc. within a few days.

"I worked as a specially-appointed psychologist for 27 days this month, working about two hours a day."

"Including subsidies, the total monthly salary is 7 pounds 16 soli and 5 pence."

The small red bloodstain that had begun to darken gradually faded under the scrubbing and water, leaving only a light red outline. Audrey walked out of the bathroom carrying the wet corner, ready to borrow a bar of soap.

The seven banknotes and some silver coins passed through Audrey's hands for a while, and she gave them to a poor girl she met in the hospital who wanted to go to school but whose family had no income and had sick and disabled people.

The girl could only work in the hospital during the time when there were no classes at the charity school, learning some simple nursing skills and earning a few pennies.

"Kaga's father and brother joined the Indulgence rebels and have passed away. Her mother was devastated by the incident and developed mental illness. She had to take care of her mother and her younger siblings by herself, doing odd jobs and earning only a few soles a month."

"However, the gold in the southern continent is very valuable, and the consumption level is also very low..."

Under normal circumstances, Audrey would not be interested in this small amount of money, which is less than 8 pounds. Even though the Hall family is now short of a lot of property, 8 pounds is still not worth Miss Hall's second glance.

However, this less than 8 pounds was what the little girl could earn in nearly a year. Audrey was very happy to be able to help others with her own labor income, and decided to find an opportunity to donate some clothes and food to the hospital and other families in the future.

Just as she was humming a song happily and preparing to go find some soap, she suddenly saw Towfik coming towards her.

"Letty."

From a distance of three to five meters, Tawfik greeted her with a familiar look: "It's time for you to get off work. I'll take you back to the leader."

Audrey shook her head, stood on tiptoe to glance at a ward behind Tawfik, and whispered, "I'm waiting for someone."

"Waiting for Kajia?" Tawfik was also familiar with the little girl, and said with a smile, "Kaga's brother has reached school age today, so she won't come to work today. If you don't want to leave for the time being, Ms. Ai Li has made some fresh stew. Would you like to try it?"

"I'm waiting for Pura."

Audrey thought of the indulgent Beyonder who couldn't control his appetite, and said to Tawfik hesitantly, "I heard that he will be sent to the village for labor reform today, and he won't be back for at least fifty years. I want to wait for him here and send him off. Is that okay?"

Tawfik was stunned, obviously not expecting Audrey to say this, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Of course! I believe he will be happy to see you... Calculating the time, the person responsible for taking him away should have arrived."

Before he finished speaking, the footsteps of a third person appeared in the corridor where there were only the two of them. Audrey looked back and her eyes widened immediately:
"Mr. Ernst?"

"leader!"

"Hmm." Richard raised his hand, signaling the two to be quiet. Then He looked at Tawfik and asked without hesitation, "What do you think of Miss Letty Orr's work this month?"

"Didn't you ask me this question before?" Tawfik was puzzled, but he didn't think it was strange. In front of Audrey, he expressed his admiration openly, "Ms. Letty is very good. We all trust her. Whether it's her professionalism, her patience in treating patients, or her treatment methods, she is the best doctor we have ever seen. The patients are very grateful to her."

Audrey suddenly felt a little embarrassed and turned her head away. Richard asked again:
"So do you want Miss Orr to continue working in our hospital?"

Taufik was stunned:
"Well? That depends on Miss Orr's wishes. However, personally, I hope so, and I believe everyone else does too..."

"Okay, you guys wait here first." Richard asked without any response, then turned to look at Audrey, "I have something I need your help with, treating a patient. It may be dangerous, but don't worry, I will never let you get hurt."

"No problem." Audrey nodded.

After getting Audrey's affirmation, Richard didn't waste a second. He entered the ward and quickly brought out the indulgent Beyonder who was lying in layers of restraints. Compared with the tall Temperance Angel, although suffering from the mental illness of "crazy eating", Pura still looked haggard and old, with lifeless eyes, staring blankly at a certain point on the ground.

But when he passed Audrey, he suddenly stopped and looked at the orange-haired Letty Orr with his cloudy eyes.

Tawfik subconsciously wanted to pull Audrey aside, but Audrey stopped him with her eyes and actions. In reality, it would be very dangerous to rashly contact the mentally unstable members of the Indulgence Faction, but considering that the leader was here, Tawfik had to hold back.

Audrey fearlessly stared at the haggard and old member of the Indulgence Faction who had devoured and killed countless people. After a few seconds, the middle-aged man slowly lowered his head and gurgled a few times in his throat, like a prelude to a beast preparing to eat and hunt, but he managed to utter a vague word in the Southern Continental language:

"……elder sister……"

Tawfik was stunned, and Audrey was also in a trance for a moment. Then she blinked hard, and after getting Richard's permission, she carefully stretched out her hand, slowly raised it at a speed that would not alert the other party, and gently and slowly stroked the gray hair of the haggard middle-aged man, as if in a dream.

"You're doing great... Keep trying to control yourself. Pura, I believe in you, always."

Audrey spoke softly in a dreamy voice, feeling the other person's unstable spirit gradually calm down under her comfort.

But she didn't know whether this indulgent member who had almost lost his rationality could understand her words, because until he was brought into the spirit world by Richard, he did not respond to Audrey's words, but only mumbled "sister".

Soon, Richard came back and reached out to touch Audrey's hair skillfully, with a smile on his face:
"You're better than I thought."

"No, sorry, I still can't cure them." Audrey was not at peace either.

"It doesn't matter if we can't cure them. It's enough to give them a little peace and a chance to breathe in the midst of madness. That's why I hope you can help us." Richard exhaled briskly and then smiled widely. "Okay, Audrey, now we have to treat the next patient."

Audrey froze when her name was suddenly called.

The next moment, "Letty Orr's" appearance changed.

The orange hair quickly lightened and turned into bright gold, and her eyes changed from sky-like light blue to gem-like deep green. In just two seconds, the appearance of the container was changed and became exactly the same as "Audrey Hall".

"Trust me, Audrey, you'll be fine."

After whispering in the bewildered Audrey's ear, Richard walked behind her, facing Tawfik's astonished expression, and said in a low voice that sounded like the devil's temptation:
"Tawfik, I remember your illness. You madly hated everything in the Northern Continent. Your hatred was beyond your reason and you were unable to make any judgments."

"Then let me tell you - Miss Letty Orr is actually a noble lady from the Northern Continent. She is kind and enthusiastic. She came to us purely to help our patients and our children. You should know this better than me."

boom!
Audrey's eyes suddenly widened. She saw that Tawfik's body, standing two or three meters in front of her, suddenly twisted, and his wide black robe seemed to be propped up by something. His body began to become illusory, and the two red lines on the black mask with red lines, which symbolized eyes, opened, like a pair of red eyes shedding tears of blood.

Then, Audrey suddenly felt that everything around her seemed to have life, and everything around her was madly trying to kill her! The roof of the hospital seemed to suddenly crack and fall, smashing her into a pulp, and the steel bars on the ground seemed to explode and pierce her heart in the next second. Even her clothes began to tighten, trying to twist her body off like twisting off the limbs and head of a rag doll!
There was only a difference of one sequence, but a being with divinity was completely different from a mortal. Audrey couldn't even utter a word.

Just when she thought she was going to be killed, there was a sudden "bang". Tawfik turned around suddenly and hit his head heavily against the wall of the hospital, cracking the entire wall.

"Take her away!"

An extremely shrill sound came from his throat, almost like the scream of a resentful spirit. The aftermath was enough to make Audrey dizzy:
“Take her away!!”

"Take her away!! I'm going to kill her...Take her away!!"

Boom! Boom! The walls of the hospital shook violently. Towfik banged against the walls frantically, tearing at his own body. His black robe sometimes floated in Audrey's direction, and sometimes turned into a restraint to wrap himself tightly. His hands grabbed his arms until they were bleeding.

Audrey was so stunned that she couldn't look away.

She felt like she should say something to comfort him, but she couldn't find the words.

"Destroying public facilities, huh? I'll deduct the money from your salary later." Richard muttered, and continued, "Tawfik, it's time for you to wake up from your madness and revenge. It doesn't matter whether she is Audrey or Letty Orr, or whether she is from the North Continent or the South Continent. What's important is that she is our friend!"

“No!!” Tawfik, who had already begun to transform into a giant puppet, screamed, “She is from the Northern Continent! She deserves to die!”

"They destroyed my family, killed my daughter and father, forced me to eat my brother, and took away my wife! They all deserve to die! Men, women, old people, and children! They all deserve to die! I will kill all the people in the Northern Continent--"

In extreme anger and frenzy, he recalled Audrey's help to the hospital in the past month. His voice suddenly paused for a second, and in the interval of madness, he struggled to find a trace of his humanity:
"No! Take her away! I don't want to kill her!"

Richard sighed, and finally had a trace of anger: "Tawfik, control yourself! Can you control your malice? Can you tell who really needs to be killed? Are you a human or a beast?!"

Audrey watched all this in a daze. She watched her "patient" break his arms, gnaw his teeth, and twist his body like a twisted rag doll in order not to hurt her. The demigod's blood flowed to her feet, staining her boots. She looked at the "patient" who finally fell to the ground and was dying, and suddenly tears fell.

"Thanks a lot."

Richard stroked Audrey's hair again and told her to remember to give him a few more comforts. Then he walked up on the ground covered with minced meat and blood and dragged Tawfik, who was no longer in human form, up from the ground.

Tawfik twisted his own arm and broke his own teeth so that he wouldn't try to tear or bite Audrey apart. The demigod didn't die so easily, but he was dying now, and even the black robe looked like a body bag.

"You did very well."

Richard half-knelt on the ground, not at all disgusted by the blood all over the ground. On the contrary, he was suitable for such a scene, as if there was a bloody halo above his head.

“You did a great job, Tawfik.”

He embraced his bleeding compatriots and said with relief:
"You controlled your malice, found your conscience and humanity, and earned yourself the qualification to advance to Sequence 3."

TBC
------

"Chief."

In his arms, the blood-stained demigod wailed, and blood mixed with teeth and flesh fragments dripped from the corners of his mouth:
"…Is it so painful to become a human being?"

"Yes, that's it," said the angel.

"We were originally human beings, but we became beasts."
