The dim light fell from the dim dome, like countless withered petals, like soft and lilting feathers, and they fell on the hideous and terrible body, softening the hatred a little, and he half-knelt in front of the pitch-black well, with the mottled blade of his sword, like a tombstone covered by a sea of flowers.

"So...... Is that why the old popes have been holding us back from seeking the truth?"

The new Pope muttered in a low voice, he slowly raised his head, his resolute eyes clouded, and even his iron will appeared a little crack at this moment.

In the face of such facts, no matter who they are, their minds will be shaken, and their perceptions of everything will be blurred.

"What are you going to do? What can we do?"

The new pope said a little weakly, his eyes kept looking at the deep well below, and all the emotions in his heart were mixed into an indescribable strange shape at this moment.

"I don't know...... But at least we know why the old popes refused to tell us this, because we look like a bunch of madmen and heretics, and the old popes are the ones who stand for the faith. ”

The voice sounded behind him, and Watson slowly walked to the deep well, and the scene of the old pope's death appeared in front of him.

She succeeded in invading the Old Pope's Gap, shattering his will and learning the secrets buried deep in his memory.

"I'm beginning to understand that ignorance is happiness. ”

Watson also felt suppressed and painful for the first time in a long time, which was different from before, although she would feel depressed in the previous crisis, she knew that she had the power to resist, but this time in the face of this deep darkness, all she could feel was a deep sense of powerlessness.

Nothing can be done but to watch it happen slowly.

The so-called rebellion is also a meaningless act, and no one is immune to this rising wave.

After all, if such a secret were made public, it would only bring panic and strife, and people's understanding of the world would collapse completely, and they would fall into even more terrible despair. ”

For some reason, Watson began to sympathize with the popes.

They have finally reached the pinnacle of power with the strength of one person, but what awaits them is not a great gift, but this cruel truth, some people are completely crazy in front of this cruel truth, and some people are degraded, only waiting for death to come, and some people try to resist, but in the end nothing can change.

The popes have this unspeakable secret to themselves, tormented by this deep fear.

For a moment, Watson understood the madness of church history.

"Crusades, witch hunts, religious wars...... Black death. ”

Looking back at the history of the Church, we can see that in every major human casualty incident, there is a shadow of them to a greater or lesser extent, and now that all this is connected by secrecy, Watson only feels that the whole world is shrouded in a dark night sky, and there is no light.

The new pope shook his head tiredly, and he remembered the last scene in the Well of Ascension, where the old Pope's dying will spoke to him with difficulty.

"We are all lambs, kept in a fence by shepherds, and outside the fence there are hungry wolves, tigers, and countless bloodthirsty monsters that are watching us, and are hungry for us. ”

So who is the lamb, who is the shepherd, and who is the bloodthirsty monster?

Do you choose to live in ignorance, or do you want to face the truth and die powerlessly?

"Are you leaving?016. ”

The new pope turned to Watson and asked.

Watson nodded, and she slowly raised her head, looking at the dilapidated Stagnant Temple, and then at the darkness beneath the Well of Ascension, where the truth of this world was hidden behind the barrier of holy silver.

"I need to tell the [truth] to others, perhaps...... Maybe we can find another solution? at least to put an end to this cruel cycle. ”

Watson's face appeared in front of his eyes, and for some reason, if it was Lorenzo, there might really be a glimmer of hope.

"Can it really be done?"

The new Pope was also confused, and he had insisted until now to find out why the witchers had died, but now that he knew all this, he was almost defeated by the [truth].

At this moment, it seems that whether it is the old pope or the other guys who keep secrets, their figures seem noble, and they must have been in the same state of mind as themselves at that time, panic and uneasiness, like travelers in the wilderness, facing the world at a loss.

"Always give it a try, we've already moved forward to this point, and if we just give up, it's too sad, what is our previous effort?"

Watson's voice was full of indifference, and although she said so, she saw no hope in sight.

"So what are you going to do next? ”

Watson asked the new pope, in fact, the most dangerous person here is the new pope, who has always supported the [truth] to maintain his will, even if he is corrupted by demons, he has survived tenaciously until now.

But now that he knew all about this cruelty, this terrible [truth] almost collapsed the world he knew, and the most desperate thing was not only that, in the face of the doomed end, both Watson himself and the new pope were amazed to find that only war and death could prevent greater despair.

The new pope was pious, and he was extremely devout in his will, but now that everything he believed in had collapsed, Watson feared that if he left, the new pope would become an abomination.

"I ...... I don't know, but I think I'm going to stay here and someone needs to remember the truth and tell future generations...... I think I will also strengthen the Protestant Order to deal with the doomed catastrophe. ”

The new pope thought about it for a long time and could only make such a decision.

"The world will have a new reboot, which will kill a lot of people, but at least that thing will continue to sleep, and at least more people will survive. ”

The hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and after seeing the malice of the world, the new pope realized that what he had experienced before was not worth mentioning.

"So...... I left first. ”

Watson finally said this, it was difficult for her to say any more words of blessing, she wanted to see Lorenzo and tell him what she knew, but she was worried, she didn't know how Lorenzo would react when she learned about it.

Watson departed, and Anthony's body seemed to have been drained of his soul, and his body went limp, and then he collapsed weakly, and he fell into a coma.

The new Pope seemed to be the only one left in the silent palace, and now his mind kept recalling everything Watson had told him, the secrets hidden in the old Pope's mind.

After all, the demons that people have fought so far have actually been alienated from humans themselves, and this has always been a civil war among humans.

Demons are like a strange plague, they spread among the human community, and for the initial [Patient Zero], people have not been able to find any trace of him.

However, one of the more suspicious points is about the corrosiveness of the demons themselves, it stands to reason that with the pollution ability of demons, human beings simply cannot survive until now, even with the existence of the demon hunting order, it is impossible to curb the crazy spread of demons, in the process of human history, there must be some unknown force to curb the spread of demons.

With the development of science and technology, the increase of the human population, the letters that once took months to arrive were infinitely closer by railways and telegraphs, and the world was once incomparably vast, but now it is constantly shrinking under the innovation of technology.

This is like a disaster plan once proposed by the purification agency, when the communication ability of human beings is infinitely strong, will it be covered by the erosion of demons, causing demons to spread wildly overnight......

The new pope's eyes were soaked in blood, and he could not find a reasonable solution, so he could only do what the old pope said, the so-called "restart".

Crazy thoughts tumbled and roared in the silence, until the long silence was broken by the sudden sound of footsteps.

The new pope jerked his head up, and he could feel that something was coming, not far in front of him, in the viscous darkness.

The disgusting sensation was slowly spreading, the darkness was wriggling, something was creeping out of the darkness little by little.

"The Silencer...... Is it?"

The new Pope was familiar with the feeling, and he lifted the blade of his sword, saying that encountering these monsters again today had made his mood even worse.

The old Pope didn't give much information, and all that could be gleaned from his broken memories was the information of the Restart, and the part about the Silent One was not mentioned much.

"We are all lambs, kept in a fence by shepherds, and outside the fence there are hungry wolves, tigers, and countless bloodthirsty monsters, who are watching us and longing for us. ”

The new pope repeats the words of the old pope before his death, and he vaguely understands the meaning of these words, and then a new question arises.

In this passage, where are the humans, demons, and the silent ones in place?

The black arc of light interrupted the new Pope's thoughts, as he had witnessed countless times before, after the ultimate darkness, a new body descended into the world.

The new Pope is ready for battle, and although he is deeply shaken in the face of this truth, this is not a reason to submit to death.

The cold blade slowly lifted, then stiffened, and the new pope's eyes constricted, he had never seen such a ...... The Silencer.

In the arc of darkness, the white palm pierced the darkness, and he seemed to tear off the restraints, pulling the darkness little by little, and the person who came out under it was not a familiar angel, but a person.

It was a man, naked, half of his body still in a state of collapse, and with the passing of arc light, the material around him was collected and recast his body, the white bones were shaped, the muscles attached to it, the blood vessels passed through it, and the unknown fluid was poured into it, causing the heart to beat hard.

Little by little, the strange power constructed a person's form, and then the holy robe rose out of thin air, covering his body until it finally stopped.

It was a scene beyond imagination, the new pope had never seen such a silent person, and he could not even determine whether the sudden appearance of the guy in front of him could still be called a silent person.

He was dressed in a holy robe, similar to that of the Evangelical Church, but in a much more archaic style, with the man's face briefly exposed to the eyes of the new pope only for a moment, before being hooded and hidden in the shadows.

"So...... The Silencers are also related to humans, aren't they?"

Perhaps enough secrets were known today, and the impact of the picture in front of him on the new pope did not last too long, and he continued to think calmly.

"Silencer?

The man heard the new pope's words, and he asked, his voice a little muffled, as if he hadn't spoken for so long that he had almost forgotten how to speak.

The new pope did not respond to the man's question, he looked at him warily.

The man didn't pay much attention to it, he just raised his head and looked at the dilapidated temple of stasis.

Similar halls appeared in vague memories, but in the blink of an eye, the once glorious palace had decayed into what it is today, and in the blink of an eye, countless years passed over it, sculpting countless scars on the delicate face.

"It's been so many years that the Stagnant Sanctuary has become like this. ”

The man said with some sadness, and he walked towards the Well of Ascension, standing opposite the new Pope, separated by the dark well.

"Looks like you're the pope? ”

The man could see at a glance the state of the new pope, he was eroded, and the secret blood was almost out of control.

"So what's down there is still safe?"

The man asked again, pointing to the boundless darkness beneath the Well of Ascension.

"Is there a safer place than a sanctuary made entirely of holy silver?"

The new pope said slowly.

He looked at the men, his eyes fiery, he appeared before his eyes in the manner of a silent man, but different from them, and he could talk to himself, and he knew all this from his words...... Or even say......

The new pope looked at the man's attire combined with his previous words, and the Silencers were not only about humanity, they were also about the Evangelical Church.

Listening to the new pope's answer, the man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed a little helplessly.

"You think there's a vault down here?"

"Isn't it? The Holy Silver Barrier can easily stop the advance of things like you......"

The new pope stopped in the middle of his words, and he suddenly understood the man's words, the barrier of holy silver can prevent the intrusion of the will, and it can also prevent the detachment of the will.

His gaze quickly turned to the Well of Ascension, and at this moment he felt a cold fear in hindsight.

This root is not a refuge...... It's a cage that imprisons the unspeakable mass of flesh.

"Who are you!"

The new pope asked sharply.

"Me?"

The man pointed at himself, who didn't look too hostile, and his eyes looked at the new pope, and he replied slowly.

"I'm one of the popes of the Evangelical Church, and I can't remember exactly how many times, after all, history has iterated too many times......"

The next moment, the tidal wave of power hit the new pope's body, and he didn't have time to think about the meaning of the man's words, the new pope only felt the invisible wave crashing on his body, enveloping him, and the holy silver crown on his head also collapsed under this invisible force.

The new pope looked into the shadow under the hood and could see only a blazing day.

"I am the watchman, the original Gabriel. ”

The man crossed the well and grabbed the new pope's head with one hand, forcing him to look into his eyes, his voice sounding like a spell.

"I'm Adlen Levien. ”
