Chapter 1050

After sending the meeting request through the skull-headed messenger, Franca turned on the radio transceiver and the small analysis machine.

Tat-tat-tat, messages were fixed onto the paper by the mechanical typewriter one by one.

Franca read for a while before joining the group chat:

"I am the group's early-to-bed assistant. Members who haven't rested yet, please consciously pay the fine. Only gold is accepted!"

While sending the telegram, she recalled her life in the dream city.

It's really hard to have a long-distance group chat in the real world! Franca felt inexplicably melancholy and nostalgic, and suddenly lost the desire to show off her honorific name.

So what if I'm Sequence 3? Sequence 3 can't solve the problem of long-distance real-time group chat either!

If the apocalypse can finally be overcome, I hope the "God of Steam and Machinery"—no, the "God of Electric Energy and Information Technology"—can bring about a new industrial revolution.

I am an "Unaging Witch," I can afford to wait!

The first to reply to Franca was "Moon King":

"Look at my nickname, it looks like the kind that only becomes active late at night!

"By the way, 'Sleeve Sword,' you haven't been online for almost a month before. What kind of mission didn't even give you any free time at night?"

"Look at you, you don't even know that secret missions require turning off your phone and cutting off all contact with the outside world. You must not have been exposed to similar things before, '007,' am I right?" Franca suspected that "Moon King" was joking with her, but she had no evidence.

"007" replied:

"I was also locked up for a period of time."

Franca suddenly became energetic:

"You, advanced to Sequence 4?"

"Yes, I got the qualification." "007" didn't hide it.

The other group members exploded:

"A demigod?"

"The first Saint among us!"

"Except for 'Hela' and 'Gandalf,' this is the third demigod of the Research Society, right?"

"'007,' didn't you say that even if you have the qualification, you have to wait in line for a long time?"

After the paper being spat out rapidly slowed down, "007" explained:

"I originally thought I had to wait a bit longer, but not long ago, the Church not only brought out many accumulated Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 Beyonder characteristics but also shattered some Grade 1 sealed artifacts. Currently, most candidates who have the qualification and meet all prerequisites have been lined up for advancement, with a small portion failing.

"This situation makes me suspect that something big will happen within the next year or two, which is why the Church is 'manufacturing' demigods in batches regardless of the consequences and costs."

This coincides with the inference that the apocalypse might come early. Does the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church think so too? Franca found that the other group members were silent for a moment, obviously associating it with a major crisis, associating it with whether they would also be affected, and whether they had the ability to cope.

Franca could see that "007" should partially know the reason why the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church did this. After all, he was already a Saint, but he couldn't say it directly and could only hint.

"Have you become a 'Unshadowed'?" Franca changed the subject.

She actually didn't really want "007" to continue advancing in the "Sun" pathway, feeling that "Unshadowed" was too pure and located within the Church, inevitably becoming fanatical. In that case, "007," who would complain that she always found a bunch of things to keep him busy until he had no time to rest, might never have similar words again.

This made Franca feel like she was watching a friend pass away bit by bit.

However, she never persuaded "007," just pointed out the changes that "Unshadowed" might bring, letting "007" make his own decision while knowing everything.

Everyone's life should be decided by themselves; she had always believed in this point.

She was also very grateful that when she was hesitating whether to switch to "War Bishop" or advance to "Unaging Witch," Lu Mian and Jenna only gave her choices and didn't persuade her. Although they might have had their own ideas and tendencies in their hearts, they never showed it, didn't instigate, didn't force, and everything was judged by actions rather than intentions. This was very, very good. After all, everyone would inevitably have dark and selfish thoughts, and finally not converting them into actions meant they had overcome themselves and weren't that kind of person.

And "Unshadowed" might not have dark, selfish thoughts, but I actually hope "007" has... Franca sighed silently.

"007" replied to her quickly:

"Yes."

Staring blankly at this word on the telegram paper, Franca sighed long and hard:

"Sigh..."

"007" continued:

"Other colleagues have switched to other pathways, and colleagues who are not in adjacent pathways have also obtained advancement."

At this time, Franca quickly adjusted her mindset.

She kept telling herself:

"'007' just hinted and reminded everyone to prepare for major events and major disasters, which shows that his positive emotions and humanity are still preserved!

"With age, everyone will actually change and appear somewhat different from the past. The current '007' just has a bigger change, but in terms of friendship, he is still that '007'."

"What big event will happen in the next year or two?" Another telegram group member, "Wind Sound," asked.

"I'm not sure." "007" answered very concisely.

"Don't ask, don't ask." Franca forcibly inserted into the conversation, lest "007" be embarrassed, "What we can do is improve ourselves when we have the opportunity and enjoy life well in normal times."

"'Sleeve Sword,' you seem to know something?" "Moon King" sent a telegram.

Franca didn't have the restriction of needing to keep it secret, but she didn't dare to say it too clearly, fearing that some group members would be too desperate and go to extremes.

She pondered and said:

"I say the apocalypse is coming soon, but if there are tall people holding it up and everyone is prepared, there is still hope to get through it. Do you believe it?"

The telegrams that were constantly coming in suddenly stopped.

After a long time, "007" replied:

"I believe."

"Damn, I'm panicked." "'Sleeve Sword' boss, introduce a Witch to know, I'll risk it!" "Damn, won't it happen that people die and the money hasn't been spent?" "I have to buy a piece of land and dig a bunker..." With "007's" endorsement, "Wind Sound" and the others really believed Franca's statement.

Those who could join this telegram group were either lazy, had better personalities, or were good people. At this moment, although they were all quite nervous and worried, they could still use quite lively and fun language to express their inner emotions, and no one was particularly depressed or desperate.

Franca saw that the initial goal was achieved and said:

"I've actually become a demigod too."

"... I really think something big is going to happen now."

"Damn, 'Sleeve Sword' has become a demigod?"

"Still a 'Witch,' or switched to the 'Hunter' pathway?"

"..."

The group members suddenly started talking all at once.

Can you talk! Franca "scoffed" and responded:

"Still a 'Witch'."

"'Despair Witch'?" "007" suddenly asked.

What does "007" mean? Right, he is already a "Unshadowed," a high-level official of the Church, and Witches mainly operate in Intis and the Southern Continent. Even if he doesn't know the specific "Despair" potion formula, he must have mastered the corresponding advancement ritual in order to detect abnormalities in time and extinguish the signs of plague in advance... Franca realized and replied:

"Don't worry, I didn't harm any innocent people, and I used a shortcut."

"Shortcut? Can the ritual be shortcut?" "Moon King's" words revealed surprise.

"Wind Sound" sighed:

"'Sleeve Sword,' how can you advance so fast? Are you still human? Right, not human, it's half-demigod, half-human..."

Franca pondered and said:

"Actually, we transmigrators all possess certain specialties. When conditions are met and the pathway is suitable, this specialty will be displayed, helping us advance by leaps and bounds at a certain stage.

"In a sense, we can also be considered the chosen ones."

Chosen by the Celestial Worthy!

Fearing that the group members would be proud, she quickly added:

"This is not entirely a good thing."

"What specialty?" "007," "Moon King," and others sent telegrams almost at the same time.

Franca "hehe-ed" and typed quickly:

"Can't say, those who understand understand. You'll know when you really encounter it."

Not giving the group members a chance to ask, she quickly changed the subject:

"'007,' are you still in Trier?"

Since he is already a "Unshadowed," an Archbishop or high-level deacon, he has to guard a diocese. And the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church has enough power in Trier, and even has Angels hidden.

"Still in Trier." "007" replied, "Many of the Saints who advanced this time stayed in Trier as mobile forces."

Many stayed in Trier? Franca suddenly became alert.

Does the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church think that the place most likely to have problems is Trier?

Franca couldn't help but lower her head and look at the floor.

What she was really looking at was the Fourth Epoch Trier and the special mirror world sealed under Trier.

Will the outbreak of the apocalypse start from the underground of Trier instead of the high-altitude barrier? Franca frowned slightly and had such a thought.

At this time, Madam "Hela's" pure silver-like skull messenger returned, letting the paper bitten by its teeth fall in front of her.

Franca took it and looked:

"Tomorrow at ten in the morning, Jiujie, Little Cow Coffee Shop."

…………

Observatory District, Jiujie.

Franca, who only dared to go out after lowering her appearance and restraining her charm with "Lie," arrived at the Little Cow Coffee Shop a quarter of an hour early.

She sat by the window, watching the people coming and going outside with relish, watching bicycles, bionic mechanical devices, steam robots, etc., rushing past.

Not long after, "Hela," dressed as a black widow, appeared at the door.

The moment she saw this "lady," Franca suddenly had a strange feeling that she was walking between darkness and light, death and life.

"Hela's" complexion was a bit paler, and the feeling of being alive seemed even fainter.

Has Madam "Hela" advanced again? Also, the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church has the move of mass-producing demigods, how could the "Evernight Goddess" Church not have it? She switched back to the "Death" pathway, Sequence 3 "Bane"? I don't know what special abilities the fusion of the "Darkness" and "Death" pathways has... Franca now had very rich occult knowledge.

"Good morning." She stood up and greeted with a smile.

After "Hela" responded, she said to the waiter in the coffee shop:

"A glass of absinthe, a triple espresso."

After they sat down, Franca fiddled with the hat with a veil placed on the side and said with a smile:

"I went to a place some time ago. There were high-rise buildings, trams, mobile phones, and the internet. Unfortunately, it was a dream."

Madam "Hela" listened carefully and nodded gently:

"I know you went."

"Uh..." Franca was stunned.
