Giotto's Bell, a famous bell tower located in the Vatican's residence, is controlled by the chaos algorithm of the super artificial intelligence Raphael.
The huge dial on the clock tower only has an hour hand. It is said that as the hour hand gets closer to 12 o'clock, it means that human civilization is getting closer to the brink of collapse.
During long periods of peace, the hour hand basically points vertically downward to 6 o'clock. When there is some political unrest in the world, the hour hand will move a few scales clockwise; when the unrest subsides, it will turn back.
The position of the hour hand will change dramatically only during the magic tide. Basically, every time the magic tide limit increases by Lv.5, the hour hand will move 2.5 scales clockwise, which is the so-called "advance half an hour".
The current Demon Tide level cap is Lv. 15, and the hour hand points to 7 o'clock... at least in the morning.
However, at 11:27 tonight, when the Lateran Palace was still holding an emergency meeting, the hour hand suddenly crossed 15 marks and jumped directly to 10 o'clock!
The believers in the square below Giotto's bell almost immediately fell into a panic as if the end of the world was coming. Many devout believers even kept bowing to the stone slabs in front of them, praying and begging God to forgive the sins of mankind, until their foreheads bled and they fainted.
There was also chaos in the Lateran Palace. The two bishops from the big data group and the algorithm group were the first to leave, followed by the cardinals from the International Strategy Department and the External Relations Department, who hurried to the departments they were in charge of.
The remaining cardinals stayed in the meeting room of the Lateran Palace. The atmosphere was so solemn that it was frightening. Although everyone had nothing to do before the more detailed results were analyzed, they would definitely suffer from insomnia even if they went back.
It’s better to stay here and wait for the final result.
About 23 minutes later, Bishop Celestine of the International Strategy Department rushed into the conference room, clutching a report tightly in his hand:
"Everyone..." Under the anxious gaze of the bishops, he forced a bitter smile, "The reason for the change of Giotto's bell has been found out."
"The city of Verona in northern Italy was completely wiped out just now."
"Physically erased."
…
Half an hour later.
The original site of the city of Verona.
Peggy sat on the stone blankly, staring into the distance with empty eyes.
Her spirituality was exhausted. As a price, all the tadpoles were released by her, dragging the entire city of Verona into the concept of complete death.
Now all that was left around her was a flat land and mounds of varying sizes, which were the corpses left behind by the buildings in the city of Verona after their "death".
Peggy suddenly had a strange illusion, as if she was in the same cemetery, surrounded by similar graves (it would be even more similar if there were tombstones and crosses), and she had just broken out of the slumber of death, and was so confused that she didn't know what to do.
Then the man appeared in front of him and stretched out his hand to him.
But now, there was no one to pull her up again.
Paige wrapped her arms around her legs and buried her face deep into her knees.
She felt extremely tired.
If I die like this, will I ever be able to see him again
