It is undeniable that Ling's driving skills are excellent, and he is not stable on rugged mountain roads.

Whew, seeing that Ling drove very smoothly, he exhaled permanently, and his hanging heart slowly let go, and then he noticed that there seemed to be some points of light in the distance, and it seemed that there were people living in the suburbs.

"Do you see there's light over there?" said Yong to Ling.

"Like, let's go check it out. Ling nodded in response and drove the car in the direction of the light.

After running over a few mud pits, they finally came to the front of a village.

"Did you hear any strange sounds, the pop-and-pop kind? Ling held up a transparent umbrella and came to the permanent one to pick him up and get him off.

The sound of popping? I listened carefully for a while, but I could only hear the sound of the rain, and nothing else.

"Didn't hear it. ”

"yes, but I can hear this sound all the time, I'm about to have tinnitus, stop!"

“......”

It was a small village, about a dozen or twenty houses, except for a church in the middle of the village, and a slightly larger house next to the church, which was lit up. Yong and Ling should have chased these lights.

"There's a village here? Ling was a little puzzled.

Yong Yong smiled: "Maybe it's because this village is too small, it's normal that it is not marked on the map." It's lucky enough to find a village in this kind of weather, and maybe even borrow it for a night without having to squeeze into a tiny car. ”

"That's right. ”

Chatting and chatting, soon they came to the front of the church.

Permanently stretched out his hands and pushed the door hard, and the heavy door was slowly pushed open with a very low sound.

Probably because it was already night, there was no one in the church, only a priest and a priest, who sat on a chair and prayed, and the priest saw them come in and walked to the door.

"May I ask you what's the matter, guest from afar. ”

The priest had short black hair, which felt a little unkempt and disheveled.

But even here, with the priest's good-looking face, dark and deep eyes, and the sacred temperament formed in the church, I always felt a strange beauty.

Sure enough, as long as the face is good, it doesn't matter what else is.

The priest could see at a glance that they were not inhabitants of the village, and greeted them with a wary expression.

"We came to take shelter from the rain, it was raining heavily outside, and we didn't dare to drive in the muddy mountain roads, so we wanted to come and borrow it for one night. Ling explained to the priest, "But if you don't welcome uninvited guests, we'll leave immediately."

The priest looked at the young man and woman who looked unthreatening, let his guard down, and smiled with a relaxed expression:

"I see, welcome to you, guests from afar. ”

With that, he stretched out his hand and motioned for them to come in, and then came to stand beside the priest.

The church is so large that it feels out of place with the surrounding villagers, and it is composed of an altar, a pulpit, and a seated part, and it looks very exquisite, and even the details are perfect.

But permanently, I feel that this church is very depressing, and my breathing is a little unnatural.

In the center of the church sat a priest, who was praying reverently to a statue, with a solemn expression and a serious expression, and even if they entered the church permanently, they did not look away.

"Guests, please allow me to take a moment of your time to introduce you to our all-knowing and all-powerful Lord, the recorder of the world, the ruler of time. The priest's eyes were full of fanatical light, and he preached to them with great excitement.

Hearing this, he turned his head to look at the statue.

This statue inexplicably has a strange atmosphere, it is a person shrouded in a cloak, unable to see his face clearly, only to see his outstretched hand holding a very heavy book, the book Chinese characters flying, as if it is automatically recording something.

At this moment, it was as if one whisper after another came to his mind out of thin air, and he heard intermittent cries and countless wails, which made him a little uneasy.

"Abyss. Ling looked at the statue and whispered the word, which would pull back to reality forever.

What a strange name, is this god called the abyss?

"Do you know the Lord of the Abyss?" the priest glanced at Ryoshi with a happy expression on his face, "We are about to hold a ceremony, a ceremony dedicated to the Lord of the Abyss, we would like to invite you to participate, I wonder if you would like to?"

"It is my pleasure, priest. Ling said bluntly.

The priest turned his head to look at Yong, and said to Ryo:

"So this ......"

"He's a newcomer who has just come into contact with weirdness, and he can't get in touch with the gods just yet. ”

The priest smiled, looked at Eternity, and said:

"I see, may the Lord of the Abyss bless you. ”

At this point, the priest ended his prayer and stood up.

"Welcome, guests from afar. The priest's tone was very solemn and calm, with a kind of mature charm, "I'll go and prepare a change of clothes for you, you can go and wash it, and be careful of catching a cold." ”

With that, the priest walked through a door and disappeared into the darkness.

The priest sat down on a chair in the first row on the right side of the aisle, looked at the statue in front of him, and after a long time, closed his eyes and began to pray.

"Whether it's the abyss or any other god, the statues, images, or other sacred objects we worship are not their true image, but what they want us to see. ”

Ling's eyes were in a trance for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then returned to normal, adding:

"God is unknowable, unseepable, indescribable. ”

Don't try to know God's true nature, and don't try to speculate about God's will.

Although Ling did not say these two sentences, these two sentences appeared in his eternal heart.

God seems to be real, this is something that has never been considered in the sixteen years of eternal life, he has been a staunch atheist since he was a child, it doesn't matter to him whether God exists or not, but knowing the existence of "weird", then it is not surprising that God is real, right?

Do I just know what I can know?

This question will never be answered, but he believes that he must be cautious, and he cannot imagine that he can learn about the power of the gods in various myths, and if he offends the gods, there may be only a way to die.

Yongheng sighed, slightly easing the depression in his heart, and at the same time, subconsciously glanced at Ling, as if he wanted to seek a hint from her.

Ling didn't want to say anything more, like he was just talking to himself.

Suddenly, Forever seemed to feel as if someone was watching him, and that sharp gaze pierced his back like a needle.

Someone is spying on me?

This thought instantly came to Yong's mind, he had this feeling when he had not been exposed to weirdness, but this time it was different, he was stared at by such a blatant and undisguised gaze, and Yongyong only felt cold hair standing on end, and his body was tense and did not dare to find the source of his gaze.

I could only endure the discomfort and wait for the watcher to disappear.

"What's wrong with you?" Ling asked suspiciously, looking at the stiff permanent.

As Ryo's voice sounded, the feeling of being watched by someone was finally gone.

He took a deep breath and held it in his lungs, only to feel that his legs were trembling slightly, and he couldn't stand still.

It is not clear whether the people who snooped on him were acting with good intentions or with bad intentions.

Permanently pretending that nothing had happened, he replied to Ling: "It's nothing." ”

Ling glanced at him, was silent for a few seconds, and then said in a voice as thin as a mosquito:

"Let's not talk about this for now, you come with me and try not to make a sound. ”

As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of the priest, who was still praying with his eyes closed, and then she gestured with her hand not to attract the priest's attention permanently.

Ling took Forever's hand and walked to a door in the church without making a sound, and Forever found that this door was not the door that the priest had just entered, but a completely closed door, which seemed to have a little dust on it.

Ling walked to the door, held his breath, and slowly pushed the door open with very light force, without making a sound.

Once inside, she closed the door again.

This is a utility room, all kinds of large and small cabinets and boxes are stacked together, the windows have no curtains, and the lights hanging outside shine in, so that there is a little dim light.

It was cold and dim, only the sound of the rain ticking outside, which made people feel lonely and frightened.

Just as he was about to ask Ling why he had brought him here, there was a sudden sound from the box in front of him, and an object came out of the box.

Permaly almost screamed, but before he could speak, Ling covered his mouth with his hand.

"Don't make a sound, calm down. ”

After calming down completely, Ling turned on the screen of his mobile phone, and through the bright light of the screen, he saw that it was a little girl who came out of the box.

The girl looked very young, and should be about the same age as them, and she first stretched out a hand, put her index finger to her mouth, motioned for them not to make a sound, and then said to them:

"The villagers here are all cultists, and they perform a strange ritual underground. ”

Hearing this, Ling's clear eyes instantly stared at the girl, as if she wanted to see if she was lying through the expression on the girl's face.

"We can't be sure if you're telling the truth. ”

Yongyong saw Ling's reaction, and the hand that wanted to reach out to support the girl was also retracted.

The girl seemed to be aware of Ling's vigilance, and immediately added:

"My name is Zheng Tong, I was traveling with my family, and when I passed through this village, it suddenly rained, and then, we wanted to come here to take shelter from the rain, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, my parents were arrested by the villagers in order to save me, and I finally escaped and hid here. ”

Zheng Tong sobbed as he spoke, and all that was left was a very low cry.

"To be honest, I think this rainstorm is a bit too coincidental. Yongyong whispered to Ryo, "Why don't we run away?"

Although it is not clear what the priests are doing, they always feel that this church is very cold, and it is clear that they are not doing anything good.

He looked left and right and saw a window above the wall of the room, which he could easily climb through if he stacked the boxes on the floor.

Perpetual thought of this, crouched down and prepared to pick up the box.

"I can't tell if you're telling the truth, but I think it's very likely, so I decided to believe you. Ling said these words to Zheng Tong, and then looked at Permanent, who was moving the box:

"It's impossible to escape, but let's get out first, away from this church, and then talk about other things. ”

Ling said and picked up Yongyong and Zheng Tong, stepped on the windowsill with a jump, and then jumped directly.

"What should we do next?"

Knowing that what he did was useless, he simply left everything to Ling to decide.

"Pray, just pray. ”

After saying that, Ling directly closed her eyes and began to pray, forever not knowing what she had done, a barely visible green smoke appeared out of thin air, surrounded them, and then drifted outward, finally stopping in front of the big house next to the church.
