.

In the early morning forest, the air is very fresh. I took a breath and felt like my whole body was cleaned. The rising sun hangs high in the sky, and the sunlight on the first floor shines down, adding a bit of fantasy to the forest.

At this time, the forest was a little wet, with dewdrops condensed on the leaves and petals. I walked in the forest, moving forward step by step, relaxing my hands, extinguishing the holy power, trying to restrain my hostility and existence.

Moving deeper.

After walking for about an hour, I seemed to have entered the depths of the forest. There were flowers and green willows everywhere. In the distance, there were several ancient trees that had obviously exceeded a thousand years. The roots were exposed outside and the roots were intertwined, giving people an unbreakable feeling.

In the center of these super trees, a clear lake appeared.

I couldn't help but be curious about the lake that suddenly appeared in the forest. I walked over, squatted by the lake, washed my face, and then slowly leaned against a big tree as if enjoying it, and closed my eyes.

I seemed a little tired after walking for so long, so let's take a break.

Crack... Crack...

Heavy steps trampled through the dead branches and the grass, and then a woman in nun's costume appeared.

At this moment, I slowly opened my eyes and smiled, "Long time no see, Sister El."

The latter was like a frightened little rabbit, panicked and wanted to escape. I immediately took action, threw out a barrier and trapped the other party in place, then got up and walked to the other party.

"If it weren't for the unavoidable reason, I hate talking to you like this, but if I remove the barrier, you will definitely run away, Sister El."

Sister El lowered her head, as if she had agreed to my words.

I continued, "Did you catalyze the monster I encountered yesterday?"

Sister El looked at me with a complicated expression and finally nodded.

I had already had a guess about this, so I was not surprised, but continued to ask: "Miss El, if you can, please tell me where the monster is now."

This time, Sister El did not answer immediately. Instead, she was silent for a moment before looking at me resolutely, "He is not a monster, but my lover, Paul!"

I shook my head and said, "I admire the relationship between you very much, but the other party is a monster, not a human."

I am not cold-blooded, but I know very well that if I leave it alone here, more cups will definitely be born. The reason why monsters are called monsters is because they have no wisdom and no reason, and will only attack humans with instinct, so they must be eliminated.

This is not something that can be determined by personal feelings whether to kill or stay.

"Please don't be willful, Sister El."

"This is not a willful thing. He is my lover, my Paul, he...he has restored human sanity!!!"

I was shocked by her last words, monster, Paul...returned to his senses?

What's going on at this time?

After barely suppressing my somewhat shaken mind, I easily eliminated the barrier and whispered: "Can you guarantee that what you said is true? Sister El, that monster... No, your Paul has really regained his rationality?"

"Yes, this is true." Sister El nodded wildly.

"Where is he?"

"I hid him in a safe place and no one can find it."

"Take me to find him, I must witness it with my own eyes." I have never heard of monsters that can restore their sanity. What exactly is going on? I feel like I should meet Paul.

Then, in the conclusion.

Sister El looked at me alertly, "Can you not hurt him, Yan Xiaobei."

"If he really regained his sanity."

Sister Elle was about to nod when she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Yan Xiaobei, if Paul was sensible, you wouldn't hurt him, you can let him be with me."

I was a little embarrassed and said, "This is not something that I, a trainee, can decide. I need to ask the above for instructions."

Immediately afterwards, before the mission began, the communicator given to me by Sister Arose, contacted Sister Arose on it. After the virtual screen popped up, the other party seemed to be doing something, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but the sound came out clearly.

"Is it Lily? Sorry, I'm taking a shower, I'll just say anything."

...

"What's wrong, why don't you talk, Lily."

"Sorry, Sister Arose, it's me, Yan Xiaobei."

...

...

"Shameless!" I threw down this sentence coldly, and the other party decisively cut off the contact. I felt my face burning, and I didn't dare to look at Sister El beside me, staring at my toes desperately.

Haha...haha...

Sister Elle smiled dryly for a few times to ease the atmosphere, "Well, this cannot be blamed on you. Some misunderstandings are inevitable. There will always be accidents, right?"

"Yes, yes." At this time, I especially hated myself for not being able to speak with my mouth, and I just said yes, yes, yes, yes, there was no following, which made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Thank goodness, at this moment, the communicator dripped in. After it was turned on, the virtual screen popped up again. This time, Sister Arose's tight face occupied the entire screen. She seemed very angry, looked at me coldly, her lips squirmed a few times, and said even more embarrassing words.

"It's hard to believe that I'm giving you a communicator to let you peek at me for bathing, Yan Xiaobei trainee!"

So, I definitely didn't mean to peek at you in the shower.

However, the other party did not give me a chance to explain, "Tell me, what's wrong with me this time, Yan Xiaobei intern."

The cold and hard way of speaking feels like the goodwill that I have finally accumulated, and all the favorability has been cleared to zero in one go, and even the favorability has dropped to a negative number.

"Uh, this is how things are. I found Sister El, and she said..." I briefly told the matter and asked what to do now.

"Are you regaining your rational monster at this time?" Sister Arose pondered for a moment, and then turned the railway firmly: "Intern Yan Xiaobei, I have an order to convey to you, please remember it."

"OK."

"Next, please kill Paul at all costs!!!"

Alas? Did I hear it wrong, "Miss Arose, you mean to kill Paul."

"Yes, even if you bet on your own life, Paul will never be allowed to see the sun every day. Please be sure to completely eliminate Paul and completely disappear his existence."

This order was completely beyond my expectations. Before I could speak, Sister El beside me seemed to be crazy and rushed up, "Why, Sister Arose, why did she issue such an order? Why did she kill Paul? He... has regained his reason, is not a monster, he...he...he..."

Faced with Elle's questioning and madness, Sister Arose smiled bitterly, "It's Sister Elle, I'm very sorry. I gave such an order, but I will never regret it. Paul... must die."

...

Meanwhile, there is another cave two kilometers away from nearby.

"Did you see it? This is what the exorcist does."

There was a monster in the cave. Next to the monster, there was a man in a black robe. There was a virtual screen in front of the man, which showed the conversation between Sister El and Sister Arose.

Turning off the virtual screen casually, the man turned around and said to the monster: "Although I know you really want to be with that nun, unfortunately, this is impossible. Humans, especially exorcists, are very cruel to aliens. Which one is more terrible and difficult to deal with, is the more terrible monster or the sane monster? I believe you know it too."

The monster didn't speak, or it couldn't speak, but his blood-red pupils were very sad.

The man continued, "So, instead of being the target of the exorcist hunting, it is better to be our companion. I believe that as long as you kill more humans, you will soon become one of us."

Faced with the man's temptation, the monster was unmoved and his eyes became more and more sad.

"I am really a stubborn person. I have a body and strength that is stronger than humans, so why do you still stick to human identity? You are really a completely different companion."

The man seemed to have some headaches, knocked his head and said, "Okay, since you don't worry about your life, you should also worry about the nun's life."

The monster suddenly moved, and his blood-red pupils stared at the man coldly.

The man was not afraid at all. Even though his body was very small compared to the monster, the monster could tear him into pieces just by raising his claws.

"I have said just now that humans are very rejected. If the nun insists on protecting you, what kind of treatment will she be treated? Will she be exterminated into an alien and thus executed? Collusion with monsters is not a minor crime. At least how many humans are executed because of this crime? One billion, tens of billions, or hundreds of billions. Sorry, because there are too many, I can't remember it."

The man's voice became more and more weird, "So, even for the sake of nuns, you should give up your human identity."

...

"Miss Arose, what's going on? If I don't explain it clearly, I refuse to execute this order." Before Sister Elle was completely crazy, I quickly calmed her down and said seriously to Sister Arose.

Suddenly, Sister El looked at me gratefully.

Sister Arose said calmly: "Monsters have no reason. They only have hatred and killing of humans. This is determined by the genes located in their bodies. When these genes evolve to a certain level, the monsters will regain their sanity. Unfortunately, while having rationality, their feelings have been diluted, and they can even be said to have disappeared."

"Have reason, no emotion?" I screamed in surprise.

"That's right." Sister Arose nodded and said, "This is the worst thing. She has rationality, not inferior to human wisdom, but has no human feelings. Even if the genes evolve, the instinct of killing is still there. For humans, they will not have the idea of ​​being unable to bear to kill, just like people who have to eat when they are hungry. When monsters are hungry, they naturally have to eat, and the last food... is naturally human."

I vaguely understood, but Sister Arose's next words surprised me.

"Yan Xiaobei, this was not what you were exposed to, but since you met it, let me tell you, a monster with rationality and no emotions, we generally call it...apostles!"

Apostle, what a familiar name.

The apostle, the evolutionary species of monsters who were once in the abandoned city, was almost destroyed. Until now, when I heard this name, I was still a little reflexively scared.

"So... Paul is an apostle?" If this is true, then I must turn around and run away. Now, after meeting the apostle, I was killed instantly without any suspense.

However, Sister Arose quickly denied my guess, "If you want to become an apostle, the monster must kill a large number of humans, suck the essence and blood of humans to supplement the genes in the body, and promote their evolution. After becoming a monster, Paul has been locked into the barrier of the hospital by us and has never killed humans, so the possibility of evolving into an apostle is 0.0001%. The reason for his rationality is probably because he has mutated."

After a pause, she looked at me with a more serious look, "Yan Xiaobei, a mutated monster, and has a rational monster, ----Green #Xiao￥Shuo￥Shuo & Net--very high. If you leave it alone, you may become a super apostle, so you must kill him. There is no room for this matter to turn around, you must obey the order, otherwise, please go to the Interstellar Court!!!"

Then, before I could speak, Sister Arose cut off the contact.

Such behavior is completely inconsistent with the usual Sister Arose. Although the ordinary Sister Arose is a little more harsh, it will never be so inhumane and will hardly give people a chance to defend themselves.
To be continued...
