"Where have you been?"

Yu Lian walked over with a smile, very close to Thomson, the knife flower in his hand was still holding, and the knife light was cold.

Thomson Duran's smile stiffened on his face, and he subconsciously took half a step back, but he didn't dare to retreat too much, so he could only let a slap on his shoulder, and the fear he thought he had forgotten hit his heart again.

"I went to look for you where you live, but I didn't find it, what happened to Scarlett now? You know, I finally asked the Lord Priest for the miracle medicine, but I didn't find you, so I wasted my heart......

Yu Lian nagged, as always.

"Don't tell me Scarlett is dead......"

Licking the corners of his mouth, Yu Lian's gaze was a little obscene.

"You know, your sister is a beautiful embryo, and when she is older, I still want to be your brother-in-law......"

With that, he burst out laughing, baring his cold teeth.

His body trembled slightly, and Thomson forcibly suppressed his anger.

A few years ago, thanks to Yu Lian, the homeless Duran brothers and sisters had a bite to eat, of course, Thomson also paid a lot, if it weren't for his smart and clever eyesight, he would have been like those companions at the beginning, he lost his life, and for the big men of Reims City, the homeless orphans on the street are not people, and all the poor people who don't pay taxes are not the same.

When a thief also has to pay attention to talent, Thomson has a good talent, clever hands and feet, and, he is very smart, knows how to choose the target to start, every time the harvest is very rich, occasionally bad luck, missed, caught by the target, but also because he looks cute, can pretend to be pitiful, plus the target is soft-hearted, so, did not receive too much punishment.

It's just that if you walk too much at night, you will always run into ghosts!

Suddenly one day, the organization collapsed!

Inexplicably, it collapsed, and the middle and upper leading cadres of the organization fell ill one after another, and died before they had time to seek medical treatment, and the death came suddenly without any warning, just like an acute infectious disease.

At that time, those guys were in a meeting.

The problem is that some middle-level cadres did not attend the meeting, but worked on the streets, supervising the work of pawns like Yu Lian and Thomson, and those guys did not escape the doom, and inexplicably lost their lives, just like a person whose life was at the end of his life and should have died.

At that time, everyone was panicking.

At this time, a stranger appeared in their stronghold, a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary, this middle-aged man was not uninvited, it was invited by Yu Lian, who was only sixteen years old at the time, in Yu Lian's introduction, this one was a mage with magical powers, at that time, Yu Lian was just a small leader in the organization, among the many small leaders, there was no prestige, after all, he only managed more than a dozen teenagers like Thomson.

Naturally, not many people believe it.

However, after the middle-aged man performed a few small spells, this suspicion disappeared.

The difference between magic and spells, these guys know very well, they know very well that the middle-aged man is really a mage, not a street performer, these guys in the dark, even if they have never had any contact with the transcendent world, they have heard all kinds of rumors, and this point, they are much stronger than most ordinary people.

In the mouth of the middle-aged man, the dead leaders had fallen under some kind of curse.

This curse is not man-made, but comes from somewhere in the void, just like the cold thing, it flickers on the Noah continent, and it will fall without warning, and if it falls on the head by this thing, you can only sigh that you are unlucky.

With middle-aged people, this is just the beginning.

The reason why those leaders died first was because their debts were stronger and they had the most cause and effect, so they became the first group of people to be hit by the curse, but these curses did not disappear, they were still circling, and next, it would be Yu Lian and their little leaders who would die, and finally, it would be the turn of a pawn like Thomson.

Then, the middle-aged man said that he was not a teacher, but an oracle of the dark angel Lucifer.

In the rhetoric of middle-aged people, the supreme existence of God, however, the heavenly mountain is not always day, there is still night, so the angels who serve God are divided into two parts, one is an angel of light and the other is an angel of darkness.

The so-called angels of light are those angels who appear in the records of the Templar, and as for the dark angels, they are nameless and nameless in the Templar, they just haunt the dark night, silently waiting for humans to fight against the devil.

Each dark angel has its own characteristics, corresponding to human emotions, human emotions are complex and changeable, there are joy, there are pain, there are excitement, there are curses, there are pleasures, there are fears......

The dark angel Lucifer is also a symbol of pain.

Being born as a human being is inevitably painful!

This cannot be avoided!

Even the supreme pope, or even the emperor of the empire, has pain!

People don't think about fighting pain, it is an impossible task, only by wholeheartedly believing in the dark angel Lucifer who represents pain, pain will no longer be pain, no longer the existence that makes human beings suffer, but become a power, a power that can make people go on strong in the sea of suffering in the world, and finally, they will be redeemed and able to enter the heavenly mountain.

Now, the curse remains,

This is a kind of Void Demon, if you want to fight against it, if you want to expel him, you must believe in Lucifer, speaking of which, Lucifer has been fighting against the Void Demon for a long time, and can protect his followers from the curse.

After saying that, the middle-aged man took out an upside-down cross.

He needs people to swear faith before this cross, and then, from a bowl filled with water placed on the side, he rubs some water with the three fingers of his thumb, index finger and middle finger on the forehead of the person in front of him, in the same form as in the church, when the children are taken into the church by their parents to be baptized, and the water in the bowl is a special holy water.

Most of the people in the organization believe it, and only a few people don't believe in it, but only a small number of people really stand up and reject this ceremony, after all, in this world, there are only a handful of people who are really strong.

Believe you, it's better to go to the Templar!

Someone even openly yelled at the middle-aged man.

At that time, everyone thought that the middle-aged man would be furious, and then, using a spell to teach this brainless guy who didn't understand the reason why people had to bow their heads under the eaves, but the middle-aged man was smiling and did nothing.

"It's okay, you can choose not to believe it, but Master Lucifer won't protect believers who don't belong to him......"

The middle-aged man said.

Some believe, some doubt, and everyone is silent, observing......

The daring creature hadn't made it to the Sanctuary, and even before he had even made it out of the gates of the base, he had died like the leaders, silently and without warning.

After that, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it!

Later, the organization was still the same organization, but it became a religious organization, although Thomson and these pawns also went to the streets to steal, but they were no longer as frequent as before, they had to go every day, they had very strict tasks, and they would be punished if they didn't hand over much money, and now, they only went to the streets to steal things once every few days, and it was an organized gang crime, and there were restrictions on the target person, and not everyone could steal.

The money handed over is not much, and the person who does it can keep half of it, instead of only getting a very small amount of money after handing it all in, as before.

They spend more time on missionary work, attracting more orphans and homeless people to join, and as long as they can attract people to join the club, they will also be rewarded, which is the same model as the pyramid marketing organization on the water blue star.

Every seven days, just like the church service, on Sunday, the middle-aged man, who is the messenger of the gods, performs a sacrifice in an abandoned building, and if he participates in the ceremony, he is guaranteed to receive the sacrament.

It's some kind of alternative charity.

Even if it is for the sake of communion, this sacrificial ceremony is worth attending.

You know, when you go to the church on Sunday, not only can you not eat a big meal, but you also have to be more or less interesting, even if it is a finny, you have to put it in the cash box of the church, which is an offering.

If you don't vote, you're disrespectful to God.

Fortunately, in the past, there was still this indulgence, which could be bought for as long as it cost money, not only to atone for sins in the real world and go to heaven in the future, but also to use this thing to atone for your sins, so as not to be sent to hell.

Of course, more than a hundred years ago, this thing would not have been popular.

Because the Templar was suppressed, the Empire did not allow* indulgences to offset the sins committed in the real world, and since the sins committed in reality could not be compensated, the heavens could not take care of it.

Since the dark angel Lucifer is also God's attendant, believing in him can also get benefits, naturally he has also gained many believers, not only orphans like Thomson, and homeless vagabonds, but even some factory workers, dock workers, sailors on ships, and prostitutes standing on the street have also become his believers, believing that as long as they melt into pain, they will no longer suffer.

When you take pain as a kind of faith, then no matter how painful the pain is, it will no longer hurt!

At the beginning, Scarlett had that strange disease.

Thomson thinks that Lucifer will be able to save his sister, but after taking his sister to several ceremonies, his sister's illness is getting worse and worse, so he has suspicions.

That's why he prayed to God.

So, there was everything that happened next.

Later, Ryan left Lance without giving Thomson instructions, and he stopped attending the sacrifice, for him, the past was just a nightmare, and he needed to stay away from it, and he didn't want to touch it again.

Only, now the nightmare has struck again.

Thomson smiled, and Yu Lian thought it was a snake, and in the face of the other party's inquiry, he answered truthfully and falsely.

"Don't forget to join tonight's ceremony...... You know, Lord Lucifer is watching us all the time!"

Thomson nodded.

"Pain is glory!"

He bowed his head and prayed with the other.
