Chapter 368 The crisis lurking in the darkness

In the evening, Sixth Avenue is getting busier and busier.

When Da Gu and Sha Ji pushed open the door of the medieval store at the entrance, Lu Xuan, the owner, sat at the front desk in a rare sight.

It is not in a human form, but in a Gaelic form with its eyes slightly closed, leaving only the accessory brain to control the body, while the main brain is running quickly and thinking about a certain research topic.

Kallen, who was forced to become a waiter, stood obediently at the entrance and greeted all customers who entered the store with a smile.

So, Da Gu and Sha Ji saw a surprising scene as soon as they came in.

As the boss, Lu Xuan was motionless at the front desk with his eyes closed, while Kallen, who was forced to become a waiter, kept introducing various second-hand electronic products in the second-hand store to customers.

From ancient game consoles from the end of the last century to the latest second-hand electronic accessories...

Karen's words are conclusive, and the content accurately introduces the advantages of the product, as if she is really a clerk in this store.

Without disturbing Kallen's work, Dagu and Shaji waited until the guests left before finding a place to sit down.

"I didn't expect you to have such a sweet side?"

The first person to speak was Sha Ji, who was obviously very surprised by Kallen's performance today.

Regarding this mechanical girl who came from nowhere, Saki's understanding of her was limited to her naughty character and almost immortal personality.

Unlike the prosthetic androids, Kallen's will does not exist in her body, but in the wider online world.

Therefore, Kallen uploads and synchronizes her own data once a day to ensure the unity of her personality.

The period of time when data is synchronized is Kallen's personal "rest time".

Saki also wanted to explore Kallen's true identity.

But in the end, apart from knowing that the other party was an artificial intelligence like Sophon, he couldn't get any more information from Lu Xuan.

Fortunately, Saki is not really stupid.

Through various details, Shaji deduced that the Kallen in front of him was most likely the short-lived mechanical Tiga.

Or to be more precise, it was the artificial intelligence of the destroyed mechanical giant.

"I've always been good, okay!"

Quietly glaring at Sha Ji, Kallen argued without any confidence.

Just as Sha Ji said, although Kallen equipped herself with a girl's prosthetic body, her mental capacity and knowledge reserve are not comparable to those of ordinary people.

But because she has been wandering in the lonely Internet all year round, Kallen likes to join in the fun.

Since she came to Sixth Avenue, she has been called the "three major scourges" of Sixth Avenue along with Kuzuha Jiro and Master Ayan.

Anyway, if something happens, it would be right to go to the three of them.

"You are so anxious to get us back this time. Did something happen?"

Watching the bickering between Sha Ji and Kallen with a smile on his face, Da Gu finally did not forget the true purpose of his trip, and turned to ask Lu Xuan, who had regained consciousness at some point.

"There is indeed something wrong. We seem to be being targeted."

Although he used uncertain words, Dagu could hear a sense of certainty in Lu Xuan's tone.

"Being targeted?"

Some people couldn't understand Lu Xuan, so Dagu couldn't help but repeat what he said.

"I'm not sure who they are targeting..."

"But what is certain is that they are definitely targeting one of us."

Looking at Da Gu who looked confused, Lu Xuan had no choice but to explain.

"Ever since the Machine Island incident, there have been frequent attempts to invade Sixth Avenue."

"Based on various clues, it can be judged that the intruder is most likely a Kyriel."

When he said this, Lu Xuan's tone paused for a moment before continuing.

"In fact, I think what they really want to invade is the underground temple in Kumamoto City."

"It's just that I have moved the underground temple to a completely isolated imaginary space. It is basically impossible for Kiriel people to enter there through external channels."

"So they had no choice but to do the next best thing and want to invade the Sixth Avenue and look for traces of the giant's existence."

Sixth Avenue is a "dark street" guarded by giants, which is a well-known fact among the alien groups on Earth.

Lu Xuan didn't need to explain too much, Da Gu could easily figure this out.

"Based on this alone, can we tell that the intruder is a Kyriel?"

It's not that he doesn't believe in Lu Xuan's judgment, Da Gu just feels that based on the previous performance of the Kiriel people, things are definitely not that simple.

"Of course it's not just this, there is more evidence to prove my conjecture."

Glancing at Da Gu, who was still confused, Lu Xuan, who didn't have high expectations for his IQ, explained further.

"First of all, Tomoko found out that there are groups on the Internet that have been smearing Tiga and Galvin recently, and are also intentionally or unintentionally leading public opinion to attack the Galvin group."

"Secondly, a mysterious religion called 'Angel Religion' is rising rapidly, and many believers have seen images of angels coming."

"The Angel Cult declares that the end of the world is coming, and the sacred flame will cleanse all the dirt on the earth..."

"Only in the sacred flame can sinful human beings be reborn."

"Does this rhetoric sound familiar?"

When Lu Xuan said this, even Sha Ji and Kallen, who were bickering at the side, couldn't help showing curious expressions.

"The Kyriel gods use fire as their symbol. The Kyriel people also once declared that the end of the world is coming, and only they can lead mankind to new life."

"More importantly, Sophon has investigated this so-called 'Angel Cult' and has not discovered the existence of supernatural individuals."

Since it was not a supernatural individual who created the scene of the angel's arrival, it is easy to imagine who created this series of religious worship.

"The Kiriel...are collecting human beliefs?"

After a brief silence, Sha Ji gave an unexpected but reasonable answer.

"Yes, the Kiriel people led by Tetsuo Uchiharato seem to want to make a big move."

"So their first goal is to remove the obstacles - Tiga and Galvin hiding among humans."

He hesitated and opened his mouth. Dagu wanted to say, the Kiriel people are looking for Galvin, right?

But when he thought that he had indeed shown himself to be on the side of mankind more often than not, Dagu felt a little unsure.

"Then...how do we stop them?"
