Apocalypse: System of lotteries

"Since you don\'t believe me, there\'s no need for me to continue talking about it."

Alia felt disappointed. The missionary\'s fourth task was off to a bad start.

Dealing with non-believers, it\'s really hard.

Alia held her narrow sword and guided the fire elemental stones from the rock face in front of her to fall into the empty storage box at her feet. She put away her sword and said, "We have two more stops to make, let\'s go, get in the car."

After saying that, she sat in the passenger seat expressionless.

"Fasten your seatbelt." Ming reminded her and fastened his own seatbelt. He continued to drive while looking for fire elemental stones, and at the same time, he was contemplating a question.

From beginning to end, he had never refused or contradicted the person beside him. Although he had not listened to what she said, he chose to believe her. He had always followed her lead, so why was she so sure that he was lying to her?

A woman\'s sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth sense?

No, her passionate state just now gave him a familiar feeling. It was very familiar, but he couldn\'t remember where he had seen it before. It felt like he was being used.

[Your Da Vinci is bouncing around alone in the wilderness. Seeing a crawling lizard in front of him, he hops over to greet it. They start to communicate. The lizard\'s name is Sol.]

[Your Da Vinci and Sol are strolling in the wilderness. Sol asks Da Vinci where it comes from... Da Vinci tells it that even if it knew, it wouldn\'t understand. It looks at Da Vinci, "You\'ve been dumped, haven\'t you?"]

[Da Vinci pats Sol, "We just met. Let\'s not talk about such sad topics."]

"Made a new friend?"

Ming was actually quite envious of Da Vinci. Its relationships with small animals were really pure, and it established trusting relationships very quickly.

Trust? Belief? Liar?

Ming suddenly remembered that in the second chapter, he had received a hidden task - to collect \'thank you\'s. It had to be sincere gratitude.

The Alia beside him gave him the same feeling. She was always trying to get people to believe in God. Even fanatical missionaries wouldn\'t be as eager as her.

If that\'s the case, he might as well give it a try.

[Da Vinci and Sol are squatting under a small shrub. There are small pink flowers blooming on it, and the fragrance of the flowers is lingering between them. Sol tells Da Vinci that it has also just been dumped... Da Vinci turns its head, "Tell me about it. You\'ll feel better after you talk about it."]

[Da Vinci listens and learns that Sol had a girlfriend named Vivian, who fell into the house of the \'Evil Bulky Belly Kain\' last night and never came out, she\'s dead...]

[Da Vinci rubs Sol\'s head, "Silly, you\'ve been cuckolded..."]

"…"

Ming stops the car, leans back in his seat, tilts his head towards Alia, and says solemnly and affectionately, "You should know, I\'m a slow-to-warm-up person. After all, it\'s the end of the world. I had to learn to protect myself."

"You..." Alia paused, then said, "Can you put your glasses back on before you talk to me? Your gaze, it\'s as if you\'ve seen through everything about me, it makes me nervous."

"I promise, I only looked at your body once when I saved you, and I promise, I\'ll forget everything I saw."

Ming chuckled, then put his glasses back on.

He thought to himself, does the Hawk Eye talent also have this hormone effect?

Alia\'s face flushed slightly, "That... that\'s not important..."

Ming leaned back in his seat, his tone serious, "No, no, no... I\'ve actually thought about it. I came here, you came here. You were in danger, I saved you. I needed those stones, you just happened to have that ability. I think it\'s not a coincidence."

"So..." Alia\'s heart started pounding as she heard this.

Was he going to...

"So, I choose to believe in you~"

Ming turned his head, took off his glasses, and looked at Alia, "And I\'m willing to believe in the God you speak of. If you don\'t believe me, you can check the mission progress."

"Okay!" Alia closed her eyes to check... Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at the man who had just put his glasses back on.

It\'s over!

He found out!

He fooled me again!

[Your Da Vinci tilts its head, looking at Sol\'s sorrowful face. It\'s okay, it\'s a big world, you can find another Vivian or Alice... Sol gets even sadder... Da Vinci rubs Sol\'s head, comforting it, "You\'ve been cheated on more than once, haven\'t you... How sad..."]

[Your Da Vinci tilts its head, realizing that Sol\'s sadness isn\'t just about being cheated on multiple times, but that there are no more of its kind in this area. Only a few creatures are left... because the rest have been eaten by the \'Toxic Duke Barsha\' and the \'Evil Bulky Belly Kain\'...]

"Toxic Duke Barsha?" Ming checks the giant rattlesnake in the puppet space:

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ [Greedy Toxic Duke Barsha]

"…"

Ming is taken aback. Sol actually knows the name of this rattlesnake!

This is the first time he\'s encountered a smart creature like this.

But who or what is this [Evil Bulky Belly Kain]?

"You knew from the beginning that I was on a mission, did you?"

"I just found out too, but I noticed that you\'re really devout."

"Because it\'s the mission God gave me, the test He gave me."

Alia turned her head to look out the right window, "You saved me, but I wanted you to help me complete my mission. I\'m sorry."

"It\'s okay, I\'m not that petty."

If her mission isn\'t a hidden mission, then what could it be?

Right, she said she\'s part of an organization, the Angel Legion!

"You don\'t have to guess, and you don\'t have to ask. I won\'t tell you."

Alia turned her head to face the front, "Let\'s go. I\'ll help you one more time. After that, we\'ll part ways. I can\'t leave empty-handed for your sake."

"Does the mission have special instructions not to reveal your identity?"

Ming gripped the steering wheel again and started driving.

"Let\'s talk about something else."

"I want to join you."

"Stop fooling me, I won\'t fall for it."

"So, your organization requires very devout people?"

"If you keep talking about this, I\'m going to get out of the car."

"God, angels, mission, I get it, you guys are a group of chosen people, right?"

"Stop the car!"

"Okay, okay~ I won\'t ask anymore~"

Ming curved his lips into a smile. From what he had seen of his talking with Alia so far, her organization seemed to be quite moderate.

What would happen in the future... it\'s hard to say. After all, a fanatical pursuit of something can end up in hysteria.

But based on what happened today, there should be other people in this world who have been singled out. It seems he still knows too little and needs to interact more with people in the future.

[Your Da Vinci rubs Sol\'s head. "As a man, why don\'t you take revenge? Are you too cowardly?" Sol flicks its broken tail, "Try to fight a monster of the Emperor level yourself..." Da Vinci slaps Sol, "Can\'t you talk about something happy?" Sol looks at Da Vinci, "Tell me about your heartbreak, let\'s cheer up together~]
