In the darkness, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

It is said that it is dark, but in fact it is not true, at least in the distance, there are sporadic lights, in addition to the fixed ones, there are also swaying lights, which are the lights of the ships moored in the harbor not far away.

Nearby, it was dark.

The light just shines through the gaps in the building, fleeting.

Most of the buildings in this area are in ruins, even the slums, the so-called ruins are those areas that have been demolished and all the residents have moved away to be rebuilt, that is, the area where Ryan saved Scarlett.

It stands to reason that there should be a beautiful community here, with wide roads, tall silver fir trees planted on the sidewalks on both sides, and very beautifully decorated apartments behind the sidewalks, where some decent people live, like those who are inferior to the ninth, are not allowed to enter casually, in such a community, the patrolling police have to be much more respectful, and anyone who meets the residents will show a big yellow tooth and smirk.

This is the process of urban development.

However, for some unknown reason, this community has never been established.

That's five years.

The people who originally lived here have moved away, but the new community has not been established, before, there were real estate company security guards here, and later, the real estate company did not know whether it was bankruptcy or what, in short, disappeared, here, there are no patrolling security guards, plus, it stands to reason that there should be no one here, so, there is no police appear.

As a result, it has become a habitat for homeless people.

For them, these dilapidated buildings that shelter them from the wind and rain are a paradise.

Reims City is located in the south of the Franco-Empire, located by the sea, the climate is warm, even if it is a cold winter, the temperature is not much lower, even if you sleep on the street, for a day or two, it will not be very good.

This is a normal situation.

In addition to the normal situation, there are abnormal times.

In autumn and winter, once it rains, it is not friendly to those homeless homeless people, at that time, the weather will become bitterly cold, and the cold snap blowing from the sea of stars is a fatal injury, at this time, if there is no tile to cover the head, if you are in thin and tattered clothes in the cold rain, even a sturdy young man will not survive two days.

Not to mention the old and weak women and children.

At the beginning, the Thomson siblings were able to survive thanks to this place.

At this time, there were two brothers and sisters in the group of people walking in the dark, and this was also their return to the old land after a period of time, but this return to the old land was not out of their own hearts, but out of necessity.

Except for their brother and sister, everyone else is their old acquaintance.

Like Thomson, they were partners in the original thief group, and later, they threw themselves into the arms of the dark angel Lucifer, although it is dangerous to believe in this Holy Spirit who is not recorded in the Templars, and every sacrifice will be in a secret place like this, but as long as they do a sacrifice, all believers will receive some benefits, such as free bread and free medicine......

If you're religious enough, your body will even get stronger, and things like colds and flu will rarely happen to you.

The people of Noah's continent, like the Westerners of Aqua Blue Star, have very poor resistance to colds and flu, and the reason why there is no large-scale death caused by the Spanish cold on Aqua Blue Star is only because of their extraordinary existence.

However, every world is different, and so comes different dangers.

Here, although there is no large-scale epidemic disease, there is a large-scale natural disaster that is not inferior to the lethality of epidemic disease, and if a natural disaster is not resisted, it is often the death of living beings within a radius of hundreds of miles, and that place has become a forbidden place. Even with the existence of the Sanctuary, each powerful country has its own extraordinary warband, however, on the Noah continent, there are still forbidden lands.

These forbidden places refuse the entry of living beings, and the strong people on the continent can only seal the forbidden lands so that they have no way to expand, and if they want to completely solve the dangers inside, even if they become strong saints, they are not able to catch them.

Legend has it that Yorke Newton, the sage of the British Empire, disappeared in a forbidden place.

The topic is far away, in short, this is a dangerous world.

"Quack ......"

Above his head, there was a shrill chirp.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, a light swept through the gap in the building, and landed on the owner of the voice, and what appeared in Scarlett's sight was a black crow, which seemed to be much larger than the average crow, perhaps because of the light, its eyes seemed to be blood-red, revealing indescribable evil.

Scarlett felt her gaze fixed on her.

So many people, it only stares at itself.

"Thomson ......"

She shouted, pulling Thomson's hand.

The brother and sister's little hands kept holding them, and as soon as she pulled them, Thomson reacted.

"Scarlett, don't be afraid, my brother is ......"

Thomson squeezed Scarlett's hand and whispered.

Unlike the two siblings, Thomson was a devout believer, especially when his prayers were answered, and after someone really appeared to save Scarlett from the brink of death, he devoted himself to his faith in God.

This is also the reason why after he prayed, he dared to take his sister to follow Yu Lian and these old colleagues to participate in the sacrifice.

Scarlett doesn't have such a strong faith, she just relies on her brother and the big brother named Ryan, these two are her beliefs, so even if she is afraid in her heart, as long as her brother is around, she will no longer panic.

Follow Scarlett's line of sight.

The black crow flew up silently, silently streaked through the darkness, and disappeared into the darkness.

"Almighty Lord ......"

A chill rippled through his body, making Thomson want to vomit.

Compared to Scarlett, he couldn't stand this gaze, Scarlett's body had a painful aura that had been improved by the golden book, and he had a certain tolerance for the same kind of breath.

So, in order to dispel the chill from his body, Thomson stopped walking and prayed silently in his heart.

"What are you doing in a daze, let's go, it's ...... soon"

Yu Lian's voice sounded in the darkness, revealing a hint of impatience and a little nervousness.

"Hmm!"

Thomson answered, pulling Scarlett on.

I don't know if it's a factor of God, or something else, but it seems that the cold from the depths of the soul has disappeared without a trace, as if it has never appeared.

......

It's a fairly intact building.

The original broken doors and windows have been blocked by wooden planks or black cloth, so the wind and rain outside cannot penetrate in, and the fire burning inside cannot spread to the outside of the house.

Yes, there's a fire in there.

The first floor of the building was an empty room, the walls were covered with torches, and the light shone in the room, shining on the believers who bowed their heads and even knelt on the hard ground, pulling their shadows strangely and jumping irregularly.

Counting it, there are only a few dozen people.

Most of these people were in rags, and occasionally some of them wore clothes that were not torn or repaired, but the clothes were very greasy, and they looked like they had not been washed for a long time.

Yes, to be born as a human being, it is inevitable to suffer!

The dark angel Lucifer is in Heavenly Mountain, which is the embodiment of pain.

Since there is no way to avoid suffering, you can only merge into the pain, put your soul into it, and then the pain will become salvation, and it will no longer be the pain that makes you miserable!

This is the true meaning of faith!

Hayden is located on the second floor of the building.

He sat on an iron throne.

The so-called Iron Throne is just a thing that the believers see in sight, and its real body is nothing more than a tattered wooden chair.

The reason for this effect is just a small illusion, an illusion created by the light and shadow behind him, this illusion does not require too much extraordinary energy, so it will not be detected by the monitoring array of Reims City.

Hayden's eyes were closed.

No one dared to look up.

There was once a bad guy who looked up at Hayden, but suddenly he became insane, a blind man with blood-red eyes, and eventually, lost his life, and as the priest of the Lord, that is, where Lucifer's will was, no mortal could look directly without permission.

At this time, Hayden, with his eyes closed, was communicating with Godot in his spirit.

There is no need for sound to communicate between gods and souls.

It's just that this kind of communication consumes life energy, so when the two are alone, both of them use their voices to communicate, but now on such occasions, they can't, so they can only communicate directly with their souls.

"Strange ......"

This is Godot's exclamation.

That crow is the embodiment of Godot's will, the crow is a real crow, but it was captured by Hayden, and Godot was able to control the crow to observe the outside world.

However, the crow could not be too far away from him.

Of course, even if the crow can be far away from him, he doesn't dare to let this crow out, after all, this guy has his breath on his body, and after a long time, it will inevitably attract some attention.

So, for a while, he will take back this breath and let the crow return to freedom.

"What's the matter?"

This was Hayden's question.

"The seeds are still there!"

"But?"

Hayden waited, not speaking.

"Since the seed is still there, and it is about to bloom, why is this little guy still alive, is it ......?"

Godot's voice slowly dissipated.

"Are you afraid of being manipulated by someone else?"

Hayden's remark, Godot did not answer.

No answer is acquiescence.

"Hehe......"

Hayden sneered twice.

He didn't want his soul to be devoured, so even if he felt that something was wrong, he was ready to send it!

"With that existence, even if someone does it, so what?"

Hayden's emotions became intense.

"At most, it's just to leave Lance and lose these businesses, what is it for you and me......"
