Chapter 241 How Did You Stand Up?
"It's okay for those of us who have some means of resisting the extraordinary, but what about the people outside?"
"You still have time to care about others, why not worry about yourself first.
"I must care about others. After all, this is the duty of the [Guard]."
Riya wanted to leave the circus to see what was going on outside, but was stopped by Evander on the way. He picked up his pipe and flicked the ash on the ground twice, then took out a pocket watch from his pocket and threw it to Riya.
"Pop!" A tentacle caught it, and Riya suddenly felt better.
"The schedule can store your normal state. If you use it when your state is abnormal, it can make your brain clearer. Of course, if you use it too much, you will easily get hysteria."
"But I didn't store any state..."
"Hey, I saved this myself. I thought you might be able to use it one day."
Evander looked at the ground. The floor suddenly became transparent, and another scene appeared from it.
The floor shows that under the gaze of the solar eclipse, people fled in panic, hiding in their houses and locking their doors and windows and not daring to go out, but some red spiders would still find gaps in the house and crawl in.
Following Starscream's perspective, Ria saw these guys crawling into residents' homes, passing through the living room, corridors, and stairs, and found the people huddled in the bedrooms.
They excitedly raised their forelimbs and rubbed their claws, and crawled in step by step. But the moment they entered, their bodies instantly turned into mummies and turned into ashes, as if they had seen something horrifying.
"What happened?" Riya asked Evander, who took a puff of cigarette and exhaled white smoke.
"Look again, maybe a little slower this time."
As time stretched infinitely, Ria followed the spider's vision and saw something placed in the room.
It was a statue of the shining sun. At this time, the owner of the house was holding the statue of the rising sun and shivering. He didn't care about the issue of respect or disrespect. He was still chanting the contents of the Rising Sun Bible.
It was also at this time that Starscream appeared and was completely crushed to dust by the idol.
"This is the power of the shining sun."
Evander smoked a cigarette: "In Endles, the vast majority of people believe in Him, place His statues in their homes, and chant His name, and His power will also protect his believers to a certain extent. .
Not to mention that now is a solar eclipse, which is the time when the shining sun is most wary of the red moon. Bucklowe summoned him at this time, which means that he was not prepared to live from the beginning. "
The Red Moon is taboo, and anything related to it is a cult. Summoning it requires death, and it must be the death of the summoner himself.
The sacrifice He needs is not harsh, it is only the life of the person who wants to use himself to achieve ulterior purposes. This person's life cannot be replaced by other things and cannot be changed.
In a way, Hongyue is a very fair and rigorous god. He completely avoids people using the behavior of sacrificing the lives of others to achieve their own greed. This is probably one of the reasons why he is disliked by others.
If He could be like the gods believed in by other underground churches, He would be open to all comers, then He would get many opportunities to prove his name and promote himself. However, the Crimson Mother does not care about the opinions of small believers.
So, there is no if.
Bucklowey is dying, and Evander tells Leah that those people can live well even without his protection.

Investigators from the Order Association rushed to the neighborhood to use mysterious items to ward off the rain of red spiders. The police were desperately trying to evacuate the crowd to ensure people's safety. In the picture, Ria even saw Kallivan and the others.
These young people were swimming upstream in the sea of fleeing people, shouting desperately to maintain the order that people should have in a crisis.
During this period, an investigator was bitten by a red spider, and his companions immediately cut off the bitten part. After simple treatment, these people continued to protect the bustling city of Adelin.
Everyone should be a builder of urban prosperity, and they are all bricks and mortar in the building.
There are also ordinary people who voluntarily stand up to hold umbrellas for these people, and everyone is willing to work together to maintain order and resist "natural disasters".
In the church, a group of priests and nuns sang in unison, the bells rang, and the "blood rain" in the sky slowed down.
Everyone has something they should do. Such a scene deeply touched Riya. He lowered his head: "I thought they couldn't do anything well."
"How could it be? The peace you see is the result of a group of people's hard work. Don't look down on anyone or any group."
Evander coughed: "And there is no need to put so much psychological pressure on yourself. No one can protect everyone by himself. That is not a hero, but a different kind.
With that kind of power, people's hearts can easily become twisted. "
"Maybe you're right."
Ria looked down at the tentacles all over her body, the spiders crawling around, the eyes attached everywhere, and the human-headed spider with the face of Bucklowey that only circled around him at her feet, with a hint of bitterness on her face.
"They are human beings, and I am just a monster. If these people knew that killing me would end the natural disaster, what would they do?
I still can't seem to understand the true meaning of guarding. Bucklowe really gave me a real problem. "
If possible, he would also like to fight against natural disasters like others, instead of knowing everything but being powerless like now.
"Omniscience is the greatest curse."
The words that had appeared at some point echoed in his mind again.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
"Praise the Faceless-Praise the Faceless-Praise the Faceless Lord!"
"Get lost!" Evander stood up, leaned over, grabbed the human-headed spider, and crushed his skull directly, throwing it into an unknown crack like throwing garbage.
At this time, Leah also stopped all actions and looked at him, and even the tentacles stiffened for a moment.
"How did you..."
"How did I stand up? Are you asking this?"
Evander casually threw the quilt that was originally covering his legs on the wheelchair, and the legs covered by the trousers below looked like normal people.
"What would you think if I said that I was in a wheelchair because I was too tired to walk?"
Leah didn't know what to think, because he didn't believe that Evander had to sit in a wheelchair for such a lame reason.
"You can't stand up suddenly. There must be some special factors for standing up now... Did you pay a new price?"
"What kind of brain circuit is this?" Evander stood in front of him.
"I didn't expect you to guess it. Should I say you are worthy of being my student? It would be such a pity if you really turned into an idiot."
