Chapter 50 Adam and the Serpent of Eden
"Jerome, let's kidnap the mayor."
Edward said to Jerome very seriously.
The two stared at each other all night, witnessing with their own eyes the entire process of Sui Feng creating a human being out of thin air.
Before, Edward only thought Sui Feng was a powerful psychic, or at most a wizard, but after tonight, he already regarded Sui Feng as God.
Therefore, Edward worked hard to persuade Jerome to give up the idea of joining Sui Feng.
They are all murderers. Now that they have taken refuge in the past, do they want to sincerely repent and ask for forgiveness from the Lord?
But Jerome had no intention of giving up. Instead, he said excitedly: "Let's go find the pig-headed man!"
Edward asked in confusion: "What are you looking for him for?"
Jerome was breathing heavily and his eyes were red, looking like a pervert after seeing a beautiful woman.
"If he is really God, then what is this pig-headed man?"
Edward quietly took a half step back and said hesitantly: "A pig-headed man created by God?"
Jerome rolled his eyes at Edward, and then said in a passionate tone: "It's Adam! The first human being created by God, Adam!"
Edward took another half step back and continued to ask: "Okay... but what if this pig-headed man is Adam?"
Jerome was too lazy to look at Edward again, but looked at Oink in the distance with fanatical eyes, and said as if dreaming: "If there is Adam, there will be Eve, there will be the Garden of Eden, there will be... the Garden of Eden
Snake. Edward, don’t you think this is a rare opportunity?”
"Chance?"
Jerome licked his lips and said: "The Bible says that the Serpent in the Garden of Eden is the incarnation of Lucifer. You think, if I can make this Adam fall, does that mean I am Lucifer?
"Lucifer Jerome Morningstar, that seems like a good name. If the Bible is rewritten because of this... Gotham, Gotham is nothing!"
Jerome clasped his hands and his whole body was trembling with excitement.
Edward didn't feel any excitement. Seeing that Jerome was about to fall into madness, Edward threw cold water and said: "What you said makes sense, but the question is, how do you know this is the first pig-headed man created by the soul master?
Now I kind of suspect that James Gordon has been replaced by him a long time ago."
Jerome, who was about to climax, suddenly became serious when he heard these words.
"Edward, has anyone ever told you that you are a disappointment?"
Edward shrugged and admitted honestly: "Anyway, you are not the first."
Jerome waved his hand and said helplessly: "Forget it, I can't explain it to someone like you. But don't you think this is interesting?
"The human brain is also a puzzle. As long as you find the key clues, you can guide the other person to act according to your wishes. Edward, are you interested in the mystery of Adam's fall?"
Hearing what Jerome said, Edward, who was originally prepared to stay away, frowned.
I have to say, this is a very attractive puzzle.
"What does it mean to be depraved?" Edward asked this crucial question.
Jerome confidently said: "Simply, God created Adam to be a fool, so Adam who ate an apple and became smart is a fall. So, why did our God create this pig-headed Adam? Let's figure this out first.
, we know how to make him fall.
"He is a wise man, and we make him stupid. He is a good man, and we make him a devil."
Edward said a little embarrassed: "But based on our understanding of this God, is this pig-headed man born to be a devil?"
When Jerome heard this, he immediately touched his chin in embarrassment, but soon said firmly: "Even if he is born evil, we must turn him into a good person! Edward, this is our grand appearance. Now.
, the stage has been set.”
Edward and Jerome quickly followed.
I thought that with the telescope in hand, I would not lose track if I followed him from a distance.
But after only tracking for a few hundred meters, the two found Oink disappearing into the intricate alleys of Gotham.
Edward and Jerome hurriedly chased after him, but they could only see an empty alley, and no one could be seen anywhere.
Jerome kicked the trash can on the side of the road hard and cursed loudly: "There are too many side roads in this broken city."
Edward was about to say something, but suddenly he felt a huge force grabbing his throat and pushing him hard against the wall.
When Jerome reacted, the gun was already pressed against his head.
Oink's dull voice passed through the mask: "Boys, why are you following me."
Neither Edward nor Jerome thought that they would be exposed. They were following him with telescopes from a distance.
All I can say is that he is worthy of being a contemporary Adam, and he is really no ordinary mortal.
Oyink was more surprised than the two of them. He never expected that he would be followed as soon as he went out.
Fortunately, this new body has very sensitive five senses, otherwise he would not be able to detect the two people following him.
Jerome was held at gunpoint and immediately begged: "No, no, no, let go of my brother. If anything happens to me, I forced him to rob with me. If you want to kill, just kill me. Let me go."
Drive my brother!"
Jerome's young and immature appearance made Oink relax his guard a little. This man seemed to be underage.
Oink looked repeatedly at the faces of Edward and Jerome. Not to mention, the two looked quite similar. They were both thin and white men, and the temperament between their eyebrows was also very similar.
Oink put away his gun, released his grip on Edward's neck, and said, "Get out of here."
Edward wished he could drag Jerome away now. This pig-headed Adam was too terrifying. The power he showed just now was more terrifying than the animals in the Gotham Police Department. He didn't even have the slightest chance to fight back.
But Jerome did not give up his performance. With an expression of disbelief on his face, he said to Oink: "You...you want to let us go?"
Oink used to be a volunteer who specialized in rescuing teenagers, and he was always a little more tolerant towards underage children. When he heard Jerome say this, he immediately felt that this child could still be saved.
"Go back, kid. I won't argue with you today. You still have a chance to change your ways."
Jerome said with red eyes: "What chance? In Gotham, what chance do people like us have? My mother is lying on the hospital bed now, waiting for us to get money to go back and save her life. What chance do you think she has?"
Edward gave a thumbs up in his heart, Jerome's acting skills were really impeccable.
You know, Jerome chopped his mother to death with an ax himself, but now he looks like a filial child who has gone astray, and tears come at every turn, without any flaws at all.
"You can go to Wayne Welfare Institution... No, it's better not to go. Son, you are right. In Gotham, some people will never have hope. I can't help you, you can only rely on yourself."
Oink lowered his hood, turned and left the alley.
Edward rubbed his neck and said in a hoarse voice: "Jerome, what should we do now?"
