Chapter 500: Guardian Angel
For the mountain road that has been walked once, Jiang Chanji knows where there are pits, and runs all the way up the mountain at the fastest speed, although his physical strength is very different from ordinary people, but the thin air at high altitude still makes him panting like a cow.
Finally back near the lava tunnel, he slowed his pace to steady his breathing and jumped between the top of the rock face, otherwise the snow left behind by the avalanche could easily sink his entire leg or even his entire body.
The entrance of the tunnel was guarded by nuns, and they had heard that he had found and rescued the nuns in distress, and there was indescribable gratitude in his eyes, but he still did not embarrass them, and took the initiative to come to the scarf to blindfold them, and they led them through the tunnel.
However, when he entered the belly of the mountain and took off the scarf, he was so frightened that he almost stopped breathing!
How so...... The water of the volcanic hot springs is everywhere in the streams and small ponds...... People, of course, are the kind that don't have clothes on.
The nuns in distress were hypothermic and were taken into the belly of the mountain and immediately undressed and soaked in the hot springs to regain their temperature, and some of them have now come to their senses.
The other nuns watched over them to prevent them from slipping into the hot springs and drowning in the unconscious.
All in all, it's an oversized open-air hot spring bath.
But fortunately, the nuns who soaked in the hot springs only showed their necks and heads, and did not see anything that they should not see.
When the nuns saw that Jiang Chanji had returned, they stopped him and wanted to inquire about the situation, but he hurriedly waved his hand and said that he would go to report to the head of the monastery first, and then ran around the monastery in a big circle against the rock wall, not daring to stop at all, nor looking left and right.
On the 33rd, they waited at the door of the monastery.
After No. 22 was rescued just now, No. 33 ran to help and found that No. 22 was not life-threatening, because the ninja suit was both insulated and breathable, and No. 22 was in the best condition among the people in distress except for Arabella, so No. 33 asked the nuns to take care of No. 22 with confidence.
Due to her weak constitution, Arabella was not in a coma when she was buried in an avalanche, but she was stimulated by the hot water in the hot springs and fainted instead, but it was no big deal, but she couldn't tell everyone what she knew for the time being.
Catherine was also with them on the 22nd, and they were all anxiously waiting for Jiang Chanji to come back, because now only he might know the details.
As soon as Jiang Chanji came back, he didn't wait for them to ask, and directly asked, "Is the head priest still inside?"
Catherine nodded.
Layla muttered quietly, "You can really sit still...... Is that really that comfortable with the stone chairs?"
"Okay, let's go in and talk about it. โ
Jiang Chanji walked briskly side by side with Catherine, and returned to the meditation hall, where the head priest was still sitting on the throne calmly, and did not move at all.
"I'm sorry, Madam Pastor, I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't have time to ask you for instructions, so please don't be surprised. He apologized as soon as he came up.
"It's all right, a sister has just come in and reported to me that thankful you found out early and that none of the sisters in distress were in danger of lifeโyour visit as a messenger was not accidental, and it must have been God who saved His people by your hand. The head priest bowed his head slightly.
"You're too polite......" Jiang Chanji still wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, it was not impossible to attribute everything to the will of God, saving the trouble of explaining.
"In view of your good deeds and righteous deeds, you will always be a friend of our hospital, and you are always welcome to visit. The head of the yard said.
Jiang Chanji was flattered, "Thank you...... But Madam Chaplain, I have more important and urgent matters to report to you!"
In order, he first told about the no-fly zone, then what they had seen and heard along the way after they got off the plane, and then relayed Arabela's words, and then briefly recounted the process of his investigation and encounter with the soldiers, saying only that he had killed two soldiers in self-defense.
Catherine and the others were secretly frightened, but they did not expect that the avalanche was actually caused by howitzers, and the soldiers below the mountain obviously had bad intentions towards the monastery.
Layla couldn't help it, and raised her voice and said: "What if the army mobilizes heavy weapons to bombard the mountain? If the mountain wall is blown up, won't we be buried alive in the crater? Even if the mountain wall is strong enough, what if the lava tunnel is blown up? We don't have wings to fly out of the crater, so we don't want to starve to death and be trapped here? If you want me to say, before the army is mobilized, hurry up and go down the mountain! What are you waiting for?"
The words are not rough, this time everyone basically agrees with Layla's words, from ancient times to the present, it is taboo for a lone army to be besieged on the mountain, although Mount Aare covers a vast area, but there are only a few roads that can go up and down the mountain, once the mountain road is blocked by the army, the transcendent nuns may be able to venture down the mountain from the cliff, what should those ordinary nuns do?
Jiang Chanji was also a little shaken, if the enemy army was too strong, avoiding its edge was not considered weak, no matter how powerful the head of the courtyard was, it had even reached the realm of invulnerability, but what about the others? Can the others withstand the firepower of modern military forces? If it was really like Layla said, the lava tunnel was blown up, and it would be very difficult to leave.
The shepherd was as calm as usual, without the slightest fear or panic, and after listening to his narration, he snorted coldly: "I see, then the avalanche disaster suffered by the sisters should be blamed on the troops under the mountain, is that so?"
Jiang Chanji nodded, "I don't know if they missed it on purpose or unintentionally......"
"It doesn't matter. "They don't apologize, they don't repent of what they've done, they don't beg for forgiveness, do they?"
"Pretty much, I don't see any apologies on their part. He admitted.
Forgive...... Layla shook her head in despair, was the head of the house broken?Expecting the army to beg for forgiveness in a situation of absolute superiority?Sure enough, should not deal with these religious people.
"I see. Although the courtyard is reluctant to intervene in secular disputes, but the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, ordinary people try to rely on modern military force to defile this sacred mountain closest to heaven, judging from your description, I have to suspect that they are possessed by demons and manipulated their minds, if the demon army is allowed to drive straight in, the safety of heaven will be threatened, I will never allow such a thing to happen!"
The patriarch's tone was loud, and the words echoed repeatedly in the empty meditation hall, hitting everyone's eardrums and mood like morning bells and twilight drums.
However, the head priest is certainly very imposing, but she is not Arabella, and her words cannot inspire everyone's emotions, to put it bluntly, it is no different from simply shouting slogans.
If it weren't for the fact that she was also in danger, Layla almost laughed out loud - let the uninformed people hear, Bacheng would still think that the head of the courtyard has a heavy army in his hands, and he can sweep the world at any time, and those who offend my nun will be punished even if they are far away!
Jiang Chanji's eyes widened, and the wrists and feet of the squid whisker kept pointing to the back of the head of the courtyard's throne, as if to remind him of something, as if he was quite afraid of some kind of existence that he couldn't see.
The light from the glass roof shrouded the inner circle of the head of the house, and under normal circumstances, the eyes of everyone in the room would be focused on the head of the house.
However, at this moment, the light suddenly ...... There was a slight disturbance, as if there was some slight disturbance, such as a bird flying quickly over the glass roof and affecting the light.
No, wait! It's not that the light is disturbed, it's that something is moving in the area covered by the light!
The others noticed the movement of the light a second or two later than Jiang Chanji, and they didn't know as clearly as he did that there was something behind the head of the house's throne, and they thought that a bird had landed on the glass roof.
And thenโ
"Ahh
Layla, No. 33, No. 15, and Luisa all screamed in amazement, and involuntarily took a few steps back!
Catherine, who was standing in the middle circle, saw their strange appearance, turned her head to look, and immediately turned pale and stood on the spot in shock.
Jiang Chanji held his breath and looked at this strange scene in disbelief.
One...... The humanoid object slowly emerged from the light of the sky behind the throne, out of the inner circle, and into the lower middle circle, standing still.
The center circle is not within the direct range of the skylight, only the faint light reflected diffusely, and the humanoid object is emitting a soft light all over its body, just like the skylight, so it is no wonder that it can hide in the skylight.
This thing is translucent, almost like it's made of light.
It resembles a human rather than a human, is about the same height as two Catherins, has proportions and silhouettes that look like enlarged versions of Catherine, and most shockingly, it actually holds a cross sword that is also formed by light, which is exactly the same as Catherine's cross sword in outline.
Its face and body details are blurred, like a half-finished sketch of the human body, the kind that stops as soon as the outline is drawn, but it can be seen that it is a heroic young woman.
It stood side by side with Catherine in the center circle, and everyone could see that if it was painted by a painter with a clever pen using light as ink, the model must be Catherine.
The only thing that distinguishes it from Catherine is that it has three pairs of wings on its back, which are also formed by light!
Jiang Chanji's scalp was numb, and he finally understood what the sect master's words meant.
This is the imaginary friend of the Pastoral Master, an angel of light!
......
Momiji College, School Hospital.
"Teacher Li, how is your health?"
The head of the academy appeared in Li Muqin's hospital room.
"I'm finally about to be discharged from the hospital, and this time has really driven me crazy!"
The laminar flow disinfection bedspread has been removed, and Li Muqin only wears bandages on the limbs that have not fully recovered from the burns.
"I steal half a day of leisure, I envy you for resting for so long. The dean laughed.
Li Muqin wanted to speak and stopped.
"Extrapolating from the time, Jiang Chanji and the others should have seen the head of the academy, you should have seen it in the news, there was a sudden war over there, and judging from the satellite photos, the war has spread to Ale Mountain. The head of the house said, "So Chan Ji, this child is really lucky, even I haven't seen the head of the house make a move." โ
"What is the ability of the head of the courtyard?" Li Muqin said depressedly, "That guy from the sect master plays dumb riddles all day long, if I am not injured, I must force her to speak out!"
There were only two of them in the ward, and the entire hospital was quiet.
"The competence of the Chaplain...... The most peculiar one to date, she is the only one who can confine the source energy to her body. The head of the house stood by the window, looking out at the students practising their equestrian skills in the racecourse, and Frigga trotted in circles alone, not mixing with the other horses, and her white wings stood out.
"Huh?" Li Muqin was stunned.
"The patriarch provided a very useful clue - from the age of four or five, the shepherd had a fantasy friend who had been with her, and this fantasy friend was an angel with whom she talked, played, and grown, but as she entered puberty, the angel did not disappear and remained by her side for various reasons. โ
"The imaginary friend is a friend and not a robot, which means that the head priest has endowed the angel with an independent personality, in other words, an independent consciousness...... It's a very strange situation, and you can approximate it as a dual personality, except that the extra double personality is added to a non-existent entity. โ
The head priest insisted that the angels were beside her, but that others could not see them, and that she could see the angels' every move, smile, and smile...... If the head of the hospital was an ordinary person, she might have been destined to be sent to a mental hospital by her parents, but she awakened her abilities, and the source energy child mixed with her unusually powerful consciousness to produce an unusually powerful entity - her guardian angel. โ
The head of the academy raised his hand and stopped Li Muqin's questioning, "I know what you want to say, you want to say that even if such an angel is formed, it is unstable and may be scattered at any time, because the source energy is observed by consciousness and collapses, so when the courtyard patriarch sleeps or can't concentrate, the source energy in the body will re-enter the probability cloud state...... No, it's not, the head priest gave the angel an independent personality, she gave the angel an initial observation, and after making it exist, the angel began to observe himself, so that the source energy child remained stable. โ
Li Muqin gasped, "No wonder the sect master's guy is in awe of the head of the house, and he can only do it to the extent that he dies with the head of the house at most......"
The head of the academy smiled bitterly, "All the same?maybe, the body of the head of the house is no different from that of ordinary people, it is indeed easy to kill, but no one is sure, after the death of the head of the house, will the angel disappear with it?If it does not disappear, the problem is very serious, the angel is likely to fall into madness due to extreme anger and sadness, it itself is invincible, no one can stop it, as long as it wants to, it can kill all the people in the world within a few years...... Religious mythology has taught us that the more powerful the angel, the more terrible it will become. Angels and demons are often separated by a thin line. โ
