It's a nightmare.

Walking among the buildings filled with death and blood, Fang Zheng finally discovers the darkest secret hidden here, which heals the church.

Here, Fang Zheng found that in addition to the hunters, the most common thing was a group of "patients". What they all have in common is that each person's head is wrapped in a cloth bag, and they can't see what is inside. But Fang Zheng could see from the wriggling of those cloth bags that the one who was contained in the cloth bag was definitely not the "head" he knew.

As for what their heads look like......... Founder wisely chose to ignore it.

And from the materials in the laboratory building, Fang Zheng finally understood what the healing church was doing.

Although Lawrence and William broke up for philosophical reasons, this does not mean that Lawrence does not agree with William's approach, he is just unwilling to give up all this as William said, saying "fear of the blood of the old gods". In fact, Lawrence's idea is the same as William's, and he wants to elevate humanity to a higher level by elevating the "inward eye" in the human brain.

In other words, Lawrence's core idea is still William's.

To do this, they injected some people's brains with ......... Some kind of liquid.

Of course, these people are not chosen randomly, through a long experiment, Lawrence found that some people have shown good adaptability after infusing the blood of the old gods, not only that, but their blood seems to be able to fuse well with the blood of the old gods, producing a very strange and powerful healing effect.

Therefore, the Healing Church gathered these people, injected them with the blood of the Old Gods, and extracted the "improved" blood from their bodies that had been fused with the blood of the Old Gods as the main source of "blood healing".

After seeing this, Fang Zheng finally understood why there was so much blood in the healing church for blood healing......... After a long day, they got a bunch of human blood banks!

It's okay to think about it this way, after all, humans and the ancient gods can't understand each other, and you can't tell if the old gods don't want to give you a mouthful one day, and you'll be finished. But taking blood from the human body is significantly safer and more controllable.

However, for those who are healing the church, those people are not just wasted as blood banks, these people's good adaptability to the blood of the ancient gods means that they can better feel the knowledge and mysteries that the blood of the ancient gods brings to them. They were able to listen to voices from the depths of the blood of the ancient gods, and feel realms and levels that mortals could not comprehend.........

From one of the big heads who could communicate, Fang Zheng learned that these people were once called "Blood Saints", they were the source of the human blood bank, and he was very sure that they could become higher-level beings through these powers.

According to the big heads, after they first showed their adaptability to the blood of the ancient gods, they would be canonized as "blood saints" by the Healing Church, becoming a human blood bank and donating blood for others. And in return, these Blood Saints will be able to be eligible to be injected with more of the blood of the Old Gods, and they will be able to feel the presence, sounds, and images that others can't.

But with the increase in the blood input of the ancient gods, these blood saints also began to change, their heads became bigger and bigger, and they became "indescribable", and at this time, they could no longer continue to live and work outside. They will come here as "patients" and become test subjects for healing the church.

According to the records found by Fang Zheng, the heads of these Blood Saintesses will get bigger and bigger, and eventually break away from their bodies and become independent beings......... Of course, they are also unsuccessful failures.

In addition to this, Fang Zheng also learned two things.

The first thing is that there seems to be a person in charge named Maria. It stands to reason that these blood saints have become test subjects for healing the church, and they should hate the church. But that's not the case, the big heads that Fang Zheng encountered, whether they were sane or not, had a good respect for a man named Lady Maria. Judging from their accounts, it seems that the lady Mary has been doing her best to soothe their pain and calm their hearts and souls............

Well, it's like a doctor in a psychiatric hospital who takes care of the mentally ill.

And the second thing is......... Without exception, these big heads refer to the sounds of "deep sea", "deep and dark places", and "tick-tock". They were so absorbed by the sound that they were so addicted to it that they couldn't help themselves.

It seems that if you want to know the secret and truth of all this, you have to go to the lady named Maria.

And she's right in front of you.

"Bang."

A swollen, blue-colored monster collapsed in front of Fangzheng, almost completely losing its human form, its head completely fused with its body, turning into something that looked more like a rectangular rice cake with long hands and feet.

Failed .........

Seeing the monster in front of him turn into pus and blood, Fang Zheng muttered to himself, he had already learned from the information that these four strange monsters were the final messengers used by the Healing Church to contact the ancient gods, but unfortunately they also failed. In their transformation, they lose their human form, and their minds are transformed into beings that are incomprehensible to human beings.

And this sunflower field on the top of the building is their final destination.

Glancing at the defeated product that had died completely, Fang Zheng withdrew his gaze. Whether it was a nightmare or not, he had seen enough monsters along the way. Although until now, Fang Zheng didn't know why he came here, knowing that according to William, he should go to the center of the lake to eliminate Rohm and end the endless night of hunting.

But here, obviously, is a completely different world.

Perhaps this is the biggest secret of the healing church, but what does it mean for Founder? He was not interested in healing the secrets of the Church, in fact any organization has its dark side, and even the most noble ideals will inevitably be stained with blood and darkness. The same is true of the Fangzheng Heavenly Dao Palace, he basically leaves all the dirty work to the Zerg to do, in fact, what the Zerg do in the iron-blooded world is no more noble than the healing church, nor will it be greater because of it. In essence, there is no difference between the two sides, except that Fang Zheng did not choose his own race as a test subject like the Healing Church did.

After all, it's all in the past.

"Squeak———"

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, pushed open the door in front of him, and walked into the room. In front of him was a large hall with candles lit on both sides, and on the wall directly in front of him was a large metal clock. A woman with beautiful blond hair dressed in a hunter's suit sat in a chair, quietly staring at Fangzheng.

"A visitor? It's unexpected. ”

Her voice was calm and steady, sounding like the warm breeze of spring. Looking at the woman in front of him, Fang Zheng asked tentatively.

"Are you......... Lady Mary? ”

"Yes."

The woman nodded slightly, and then she looked at Fang Zheng.

"Welcome to this nightmare, how do you feel when you see the bestial sick and the filthy wards of the church? I know what you've done to them, it's not your fault, the nightmare took control of them, and now, they're finally freed. And you? How do you feel about all this? ”

"......... impressions?"

Hearing Maria's inquiry, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and shrugged his shoulders.

"I think so......... Not bad. ”

“……… Not bad? ”

Faced with Fangzheng's unexpected answer, Maria couldn't help but be dumbfounded. She had been prepared to wait for the other party's angry accusations or scoldings about the dirty and dark secrets inside the church, but she had no idea that the young man in front of her would give her such an unexpected answer.

"It's ok......... What do you mean? ”

"It's just okay."

In the face of Maria's rhetorical question, Fang Zheng spread his hands.

"Every organization has its dark side, and only naïve children think that everything is bright and beautiful, but aren't we immersed in darkness to protect those children from their good expectations for the world? And, to be honest, I've seen trials that are more brutal than all of them in the healing church, and perhaps for you, what the healing church is doing is unacceptable. But it seems to me that at least it's all built on a consensual basis, maybe crazy, maybe ugly, but at least it's adults who make decisions that can judge themselves, right? ”

"This ........."

Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but be speechless.

"That's true, but ......... The suffering they endured........."

"The pain they endured was also the result of their choice, and in their hearts, at least that choice was made by themselves. Ma'am, your so-called evil and darkness are nothing compared to what I have seen, have you ever seen those innocent and immature children being sent to the operating table in the malice of adults? In order to record the process of turning them into monsters, these adults will hurt their bodies again and again, and torture them by all means, just to record some data? Those children are suffering and suffering, but they don't even have the slightest sympathy, not only researchers, but also ordinary people can abuse and hurt them without fear of any punishment? The children's cries and prayers were only exchanged for hurt again and again? Have you ever seen any of these? ”

“………………………”

Hearing this, Maria was completely stunned and had no idea what to say.

Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.

"So you see, that's nothing at all relative to what I'm saying."
