Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

Some people might like this kind of girl, but Gao Kui wouldn't: his attention span is only five minutes at most, and the only books he could possibly understand and finish reading are product manuals and large-print advertisements.

To others, Gao Kui, whose thoughts often wander, is probably an obscure and difficult book to understand, even more so than Chen Motong, since Gao Kui himself doesn't know what he's thinking.

Chen Motong might enjoy reading this kind of book, but Gao Kui would never deliberately suffer for it. He gets upset whenever he has to use his brain or say a single word to her, yet Chen Motong still loves to chat with him.

"You won't have to worry about it for long. That girl you don't like will be erased from the canvas in a few days, like thick clouds dissipating or thin clouds disappearing."

Chapter 43 The Only Player

I have blotted out your transgressions like a thick cloud; I have blotted out your sins like a thin cloud. Return to me, for I have redeemed you. —Isaiah 44:22

Emmanuel always liked to use famous quotes from the Bible when he spoke, speaking in a mystical and rambling way.

However, upon closer examination, Emmanuel also had reasons for adapting famous quotes. Many of these quotes were things he or his father had said, and repeating what he himself had said does not count as adaptation.

Gao Kui looked up and saw Emmanuel sitting on Fingel's bed with a smile on his face.

Having just finished showering, Fingel leaped onto the bed, completely unaware that the true light of the world had descended upon him.

Without saying a word, Gao Kui opened the bedside table drawer, counted out the medicine he needed to take that day, put it in his mouth, and then continued chatting with Finger.

"Alright, junior brother, your reasons for not liking junior sister Nuonuo are quite valid. Different personalities don't need to be forced to blend in. Everyone has things they can't handle. Everyone says it's good, but I just don't like it."

Finger expressed his understanding of Gao Kui's dislike of Nono.

"It can't be said that their personalities are different; it's more that their outward appearances are too similar, and like repels like." Gao Kui felt that he and Chen Motong were probably like repels like.

They are all incomprehensible geniuses.

Are you really going to ignore me?

Emmanuel sat down next to Fingel's hairy legs, still laughing and chattering: "Are you really going to do nothing and let that flower-like girl die right in front of you?"

"Oh, maybe you did it on purpose. After all, you don't like her, you despise her like our Father despised the seven sins. Maybe you'd rather this annoying person die sooner."

"Shut up!"

Gao Kuichong shouted angrily at Manelli: "How do I know if you're telling the truth or not? How do I know if what you're saying is true or false?"

Fingel was terrified. He curled up on the bed wrapped in a blanket, his chest hair trembling. He didn't know why his junior brother had suddenly started yelling at him.

Chu Zihang became alert and prepared to suppress Gao Kui at any moment.

After his angry shout, Gao Kui's expression quickly calmed down. He stopped looking at Emmanuel and said in a flat tone, "I don't despise her, I just don't like her. If she is really in danger, I will do my best to save her."

Dislike and aversion are two different concepts.

God abhors the seven sins, including "a haughty eye, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood," because these sins not only damage relationships between people but also between people and God.

However, Chen Motong did not commit these mistakes. Even though she often contradicted her first statement with the second, making it impossible for people to understand her, she did not commit the crime of "lying".

Therefore, Gao Kui simply disliked her, rather than hated her.

Therefore, if Chen Motong is in danger, Gao Kui will do his best to save her, just like when he saved Chu Tianjiao on the overpass that day. To be honest, when Gao Kui committed suicide to save Chu Tianjiao, he had only known Chu Tianjiao for less than two hours.

It's not as long as I've known Chen Motong.

Without the slightest hesitation, upon confirming Chen Motong's danger, he made the decision to save her? Emmanuel's eyes held a sorrowful look; this was not the answer he wanted.

Even if you don't like it, you still have to save people. This is a great love, an unconditional love that transcends humanity. It is the sacred love of God for the world. In Greek terms, it is "Agape".

Whether it was saving Chu Tianjiao before or deciding to save Chen Motong now, Gao Kui appears to be very "saintly," a "saintly" quality that fits his identity as the Holy Son.

Who can surpass the Virgin Mary in bearing the cross and atoning for the sins of all? Divine love is the embodiment of the Son's "divinity," "holiness," and "sacredness."

In Emmanuel's eyes, Gao Kui's "sacredness" was always at its peak, while his complete but weak humanity could only eke out a living in a corner of his mind.

Unless they are rejected, everyone else can be saved by Gao Kui.

It is quite unbelievable that Immanuel, the Holy Son who once bore the cross to redeem all mankind, would least want to see Gao Kui's divinity completely overwhelm his humanity.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

“As expected of me.”

Emmanuel clapped with satisfaction: "When you said you wanted to save her, your divinity was practically off the charts. Chen Motong probably would be moved to tears if she knew you didn't like her but still wanted to save her."

Who knows, she might even offer herself to me on the spot? [Return to me, for I have redeemed you.]

Like those I have redeemed, they come into the embrace of Christ, loving me more than anything in the world.

Fortunately, Emmanuel was inherently in an unassailable position in this matter. No matter what Gao Kui chose, the outcome would be in his favor.

This is called a win-win.

"Junior brother, who are you going to save? You suddenly started talking about saving and dying. You scared me to death..." Big guy Fingel curled up in the blanket, like a frightened groundhog.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Gao Kui didn't want to get into any romantic talk with Emmanuel, so he asked bluntly, "Who wants to kill her, and when?"

"There are quite a few fools on this planet who claim to be gods or dream of becoming gods. There are many who want that girl dead. This question is really hard to answer."

Emmanuel, ever the riddle-maker, said, "Let's talk about when to make our move, probably within a week."

"Can't you tell me the exact time, place, and people? With your abilities, it would be easy for you to find out these things. We're all brothers, you're me and I'm you, so don't be so mysterious."

Tell me the exact time, place, and people, and I'll contact Uncle Chu, drive my 100-ton truck, and give them a taste of Chinese Iaijutsu. That'll solve everything.

Gao Kui prefers simplicity. Stop the fucking nonsense and just create chaos first.

Emmanuel was both amused and exasperated: "Didn't I tell you long ago that having the ability to do something doesn't mean you have to do it?"

Why didn't my Father remove the original sin from Eve and Adam and all mankind after they were tempted by Satan?

Why didn't I just declare the forgiveness of the sins of the world, but instead took the cross and died to bear all the sins of the world?

There is nothing in this world that my father and I cannot do, whether it is within the logic of human thought or outside the logic of human thought.

But what's the point? When you play a simulation game, do you use cheat codes to upgrade all resources and facilities to the highest level right from the start?

This is God's game, and man's trial.

"Only by overcoming an immature past can a person grow. So you also like 'JoJo'. Come to think of it, you're a bit like a Stand in 'JoJo', just a bit...unconventional."

Both Dio and Jotaro's Stands can stop time for five seconds, and Star Platinum can even steal drinks for Jotaro. All you can do is give the Riddler some weird, cryptic hints. You're such a useless piece of trash!

Gao Kui's thoughts quickly drifted to "JoJo", and he wished he could trade Emmanuel for Jotaro's Star Platinum.

Emmanuel was both amused and exasperated, and didn't respond to the joke, waiting for Gao Kui to bring his thoughts back on track.

After his thoughts had wandered for a while, Gao Kui returned to the main topic: "Continuing from where we left off, do I need a trial?"

Essentially, Gao Kui was seeking confirmation of his identity from Emmanuel: only humans need to undergo trials with original sin, not the Son of God, who is free from original sin.

"Of course you don't need it, but you are the only player in this game, the only protagonist in this drama."

Have fun, me.

Chapter 44 Version Trap

Emmanuel left, just as without warning as he had come.

Gao Kui regained his composure, or rather, Gao Kui had always been calm. He had only breathed on Emmanuel once, and he neither had a splitting headache nor experienced any noisy auditory hallucinations.

It is evident that the medication he has been taking is effective, significantly alleviating Gao Kui's suffering during his attacks.

"Junior brother, who were you talking to just now? Are you having an attack? Don't scare me..." Fingel trembled.

"Did you see something again?" Chu Zihang asked thoughtfully, believing that Gao Kui was the Holy Son.

In Chu Zihang's view, Gao Kui's state was similar to that of Jesus who carried the cross and preached in Jerusalem, or to those saints in Christian history who often received divine revelation, such as Saint George and Saint Joan of Arc.

Two thousand years ago, Jesus shouldered the mission and responsibility of redeeming the world. Gao Kui must also have some mission and responsibility. When he completes his mission, he will return to the Kingdom of Heaven.

"It's nothing, I just had an attack and someone told me that someone wanted to kill Nuonuo." Gao Kui's tone was calm, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"Junior brother, your hallucination is really outrageous. How could anyone be so cruel as to kill a beautiful girl like Nuonuo?"

Such a beautiful girl, even her tears are heartbreaking. I don't believe anyone could have such cruel thoughts about Nuonuo, my junior. Could it be that you're just having wild thoughts because you're so annoyed with her, junior...?

Fingel was spouting nonsense, but he took Gao Kui's "nonsense" very seriously.

On one hand, Fingel knew that there were quite a few people who wanted Chen Motong dead. The Chen family of China was not a united mixed-race family; the current head of the Chen family had many descendants and seemed to believe in cutthroat competition.

Coincidentally, Chen Motong is one of the most favored children among the younger generation, and such favor is very dangerous in the Chen family. To use an old saying, "The struggle for the crown prince has always been like this."

On the other hand, Fingel knew better than Gao Kui himself what kind of being Gao Kui was and what his mission was.

The shadowy figure told Angers, and Angers told Fingel—it was that simple.

Whether it was Gao Kui's own divine manifestation or some secret arrangement and manipulation, it is highly likely that Gao Kui received information several days in advance.

"What do you plan to do?" Chu Zihang asked.

"We should try our best to save them if we can; we can't let them die in vain," Gao Kui replied casually.

"Ah."

Chu Zihang nodded, thinking that Gao Kui's idea of ​​saving Chen Motong was not wrong. Shouldn't the Holy Son do this? If it were him, he would also try his best to save Chen Motong.

"Junior brother, you are truly great, even greater than Ooki Riki." Fingel gave a thumbs-up and praised solemnly, but inwardly he was somewhat worried.

Even if you don't like it, you have to save him. Junior brother, your divinity is a bit too strong. Will the principal's plan really succeed?

After worrying, Fingel consoled himself, thinking that maybe his junior brother's selfless rescue would make Chen Motong open her heart and want to repay him with her body, and the two who were not attracted to each other would spark a romance.

The final settlement was still within the principal's plan. Arranging several close female companions for the junior apprentice, allowing him to enjoy the company of as many outstanding girls as possible, was also part of the principal's plan, or rather, one of their contingency plans to achieve their ultimate goal.

win!

"Greater than Ootake, senior brother, you really know how to make a comparison."

Gao Kui turned around, his back to the two of them, his eyes gazing out the window with a look of worry on his face: "Let's go to sleep first. If we don't sleep now, our dark circles will be even worse than Snorlax's tomorrow."

In the following days, the preparatory class officially started, and Gao Kui's behavior and logic seemed neurotic to outsiders.

Of the two girls at the research center, Gao Kui undoubtedly prefers Xia Mi.

It doesn't necessarily refer to "Eros" between men and women; it could also refer to "Philia" between seniors and juniors.

In short, Xia Mi is an angelic girl, younger than Chen Motong, prettier than Chen Motong, more lively and cute than Chen Motong, and she doesn't act mysterious like Chen Motong.

Who wouldn't like a girl like that?
