Chapter 19: Holy War (17)

"It's the man who subdued the puppet! Is he a member of the Holy Religion? But that night, he clearly instructed the puppets to kill all the bandits! Ning Fei thought secretly in his heart, he lowered his head, trying not to meet the man's gaze. Or is it that the Holy Religion is not all on the side of justice? ”

The man lifted the gold-rimmed glasses in his right eye and said, "You sacrifices have worked hard, I am the white bishop of the sixth district of the Holy City: An Hehua. Thank you for taking the time to participate in the worship of the Holy Religion, God is with all beings! ”

An Hehua put his right hand on his left shoulder and bent down slightly, he was not wearing the clothes of the Holy Sect, but his body exuded a calming aura unique to the bishop.

All the priests were looking up at An Hehua, and the Holy Cult Sacrifice was a supernumerary position that had been screened by the Holy Sect, somewhat similar to a degree in the real world. After being selected for the sacrificial sacrifice of the Holy Religion, the sacrificial medal will be awarded, and the medal has a special mark bound to the sacrifice, so the Holy Church does not worry about someone taking someone else's medal to pretend to be a sacrifice.

An Hehua said again: "The time is almost up, since everyone has arrived, let's set off for the Holy Castle to participate in the Holy Sect's festival." ”

All the Holy Sect sacrifices stood up, and Ning Fei mixed in the crowd, following the flow of people and walking towards the castle in an orderly manner under the guidance of An Hehua.

The strange thing is that all the sacrifices don't speak, and there is not even the simplest communication, and the scene is a bit weird. An Hehua commanded on the side, just like a corpse chaser in a zombie movie.

The church of Ann and Wah was not very far from the sacred citadel, and they were on the banks of the moat in about twenty minutes. An Hehua waved his hand at the guards on the city wall, and the city gate was slowly lowered with a sound of "click, click, click".

They finally entered the castle.

From beginning to end, Ning Fei was secretly observing An Hehua, the white-clothed cardinal who managed the sixth district of the Holy City, why did he recover the terrible puppet that night, and why did he let the puppet kill all the bandits?

The Holy Cult Sacrifice in the Sixth District was arranged in a dormitory building, with one room for every six people, and the Holy Cult didn't seem to be worried about these people making trouble, but a servant told them that the festival would start at twelve o'clock tomorrow night, and that they should stay in the room during this time and not run around.

It was nearly nine o'clock in the evening, and it was completely dark. There were no electronic devices for lighting in this era, only a fire bar planted in the wall every fifty meters to illuminate the corridor path.

Ning Fei was lying on the top bunk of the double bed, and he was hesitating to sneak out to check it out so that he could prepare for tomorrow's so-called festival.

But he still held back, not to mention that there were five other people in this room, and what kind of guards were outside the dormitory building.

The sacrifices in other districts were also brought into the dormitory building to settle down, and Ning Fei secretly calculated, there were almost a thousand Holy Sect sacrifices in total, but he didn't know how many players were hidden in them.

The next day's life was also boring and dull, the six people in the room did not communicate with each other, the servants brought three meals, and they were in a daze after eating.

Ning Fei always felt that something was wrong, the performance of these sacrifices was too weird, even if they were strangers, it was basically impossible not to communicate at all. These people are like robots, without thoughts.

He hid in it, and naturally behaved in the same way as these sacrifices.

That night, it was about ten o'clock. All the sacrifices were taken downstairs to a huge square in the middle of the castle.

At the four corners of the square square were four huge braziers burning with flames, surrounded by servants in white religious robes holding torches aloft to illuminate the stage.

Directly in front of the plaza is a staircase. On the steps, the twelve white bishops, dressed in the bishop's unique robes, all wore white hats over their robes, bowed their heads, and prayed reverently. An Hehua is also among them.

In front of the twelve white-clothed bishops, there stood four people who were also dressed in red, who were the core strength of the Holy Religion - the cardinal.

"According to the hints of the main quest, tonight should be the time for the Holy Sect to attack the Moon God Cult in a big way, what is going on with this festival?" Ning Fei pondered secretly, "Or, what does the festival have to do with the holy war?" ”

He waited quietly, slightly nervous, because he knew that tonight was destined to be an unquiet night.

The cardinals, the whitecoats, and all the sacrifices, all facing one direction, seemed to greet something. Little by little, the clock was getting closer and closer to twelve o'clock in the morning.

"Bell~Bell~Bell~Bell~......"

The bell on the tallest tower of the castle struck twelve times, and at this moment, all the people raised their heads.

One of the red-clad protagonists moved, took a few steps forward, and then turned to face the faithful. This is a middle-aged man with strong spirits, with a gentle line on his face, and he looks like an ordinary person.

He took off his red hat and said with a reverent expression: "Everyone, the time has come, pray, let's begin!" ”

With that, he folded his hands tightly in front of his chest, and his mouth muttered words as if he were praying. The remaining three cardinals and whitecoats also clasped their hands together, and they read the same words.

"The so-called festival is to pray in the square?" Although Ning Fei didn't understand what they were doing, he was doing the same actions as them, of course he didn't know what to pray, and his mouth was just pretending to be silent.

Fortunately, all the sacrifices were prayed for each other, and the scene was a bit like the scene of middle school students reciting texts, and the hum was all over the room.

But Ning Fei saw that there was a pale white light coming out of their feet, and if you looked closely, you could also see extremely shallow marks.

Under their feet, it seemed that they were stepping on a magic circle.

"It's the power of faith!" Ning Fei suddenly woke up, and he remembered that the mythological story he had read in the Charles Library mentioned that believers poured the power of faith into the lines of the earth in order to call for the coming of the true God.

No wonder they have not spoken, since they entered the church, these people have been praying in their hearts, condensing the power of faith in their hearts until this moment is fully released.

The light gathered more and more, and the dots of light began to float overhead, like a rain of light flowing backwards.

Ning Fei was bathed in light with the priests, he was waiting, according to the prompts of the mission, there would definitely be changes tonight!

At this moment, an abrupt roar sounded in the night sky:

"Stop it all!"

The voice was very old and weak, as if it had taken a lifetime to scream.

His voice filled the square, and the prayer actually stopped. Everyone followed the prestige, and they saw a thin old man in pajamas, leaning against the wall in the corner of the square, looking out of breath.

The thin old man's hair was a little messy, and his hands were stained with blood, as if he had just torn someone else's chest with his hands.

"His Majesty the Pope!"

Someone was the first to react and hurriedly knelt down. The other sacrifices even knelt down one after another, and at this moment, the people in the square actually knelt on the ground.

"This is not a sacred magic circle, it is a cult ritual array! The Moon Cult has infiltrated the castle, and Guus is a member of the cult! The Pope was weak, pointing angrily at the cardinal who had first walked out.

"Your Majesty, you are sick, and your sanity is no longer clear!" Guus flew down the steps and made a leap to the Pope's side. It seems that he wants to support the Pope, but who knows if he has other plans.

"What do you want to do, Guus?" Another cardinal flew down and stood between Guus and the Pope, "I have long found out that something is wrong, you have been telling us that the Pope is seriously ill and cannot visit, and I didn't expect to secretly imprison His Majesty the Pope!" ”

A few gleams flashed in Guus's eyes, "Silver, do you think the Pope's current appearance is credible?" He was disturbed by that event, and he was no longer our Pope! ”

"You're farting!" The Pope knows that this is an existential crisis, and he has completely lost his image. "You think I'm in a coma, but you don't know that I already have insight into your plans, and you want to use the power of faith to awaken the evil gods, which is simply wishful thinking!"

"All the faithful obey the order, tonight, the holy sacrifice is over! Take down the traitor Guuss! The Pope said tremblingly, pointing at Guuss and trembling a little.

Silver held the Pope and looked at Guus with an unkind face, it was clear that the Pope was still the ruler of the Holy Religion, and everyone had to obey his orders.

Guus didn't panic in the slightest, he shook his head and sighed, as if he felt a little pity. "It didn't have to be like this." Gu Wusi said lightly, "But there is no difference, anyway, in addition to the power of faith, blood is the key to summoning gods." ”

"What!" Hills looked furious, "Guus, are you really a traitor to the cult?" How is this possible? Why is that? ”

"Why?" Guus seemed to mock, "The god-king is just a joke, and the moon goddess is the savior who saves the world." ”

"And I'm not the only one who has lost my way!"

As soon as Gu Wusi's words fell, the entire square changed in an instant.

I saw about 300 guards wearing armor pouring out around the square in an instant, and these guards didn't care about 3721, they were slashing at the sacrifices in the square!

In addition, the puppet that Ning Fei was afraid of also rushed into the crowd and opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth.

"This!" Silver's face changed, and he muttered a few spells before rushing towards Guuss. Gu Wusi sneered, "Let you see how many changes the real god has brought to me!" ”

The white-clad bishops, all blessed with divine powers, turned around and wanted to jump out of the square to kill the rebellious guards. An Hehua appeared in front of them, just stretching out his hand, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking their advance.

"An Hehua, have you also rebelled?" One of the white-clothed cardinals said angrily.

An Hehua smiled slightly, "I have always been a servant of the Moon Goddess, how can I say that I have betrayed?" ”

The white cardinal didn't want to say more, and said, "Do you think you stopped eleven of us?" ”

An Hehua nodded, "Of course I can't stop it, but ....." he changed his words, "We've been preparing for this festival for a long time. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to collapse, and the rubble and clods of earth fell, and a huge opening opened in the square, which seemed to be still spreading.

Ning Fei was in the square, resisting the guards with the priests, but most of the sacrifices were ordinary people, but they just had the power of pious faith. When the sword goes down, the sacrifice can only be slaughtered.

"Tubu!" At this time, a priest didn't know where to take out an AK to shoot at the mutinous guards, and Ning Fei knew that the players were starting to act.

Sure enough, several more players took out their submachine guns and knives and began to resist.

Ning Fei wanted to find Fu Kexin from it, but the scene was too chaotic and he couldn't see anyone at all.

The terrifying puppet was also moving, specifically looking for the player to attack, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

Ning Fei killed a guard in the chaotic scene, and at this time, he got a hint:

"Get 10 points for contribution."

"Contribution?" Ning Fei guessed that this should be the basis for the reward to be issued at the final settlement, but he was just a newcomer, and he couldn't compare with the players with submachine guns next to him.

The ground was shaking, and he was a little unsteady in the square. Ning Fei is not a reckless person, on the contrary, he likes to think very much, especially in this environment.

"To get better rewards, you have to contribute more. At the moment, killing the enemy in battle is the most direct way, but I don't have that powerful equipment, so I don't have an advantage at all. ”

"It's better to try your luck than this." Ning Fei had another idea.

The square had cracked, and under the crack was a pit about two people high, twenty meters long and twenty meters wide. There were ten circular patterns of skeletons and moons painted in the pit, each of which was wrapped in white gauze with something unrecognizable.

The priests and the rebel guards were also stunned by the strange scene, and they were right in the square, and the pit that stretched between the square and the platform, separating the priests from the bishop.

An Hehua smiled slightly, and as soon as he raised his hand, the gauze was uncovered and flew out, revealing the contents of the gauze.

It was ten piles of stumps, hands, legs, heads, internal organs, and bodies were arranged in such a random pile, if you look closely, you will find that only one of the ten piles of stumps is missing hands and legs, and the rest are all complete people.

And these ten piles of stumps, all of them are young women. Just looking at their blood-stained heads, these women looked good......

This scene is really weird.

The white-clothed bishops were shocked, but they knew that the situation was critical, and they all worked hard, and An Hehua naturally couldn't resist it, and was shocked and flew out.

At this moment, the blood in the square suddenly floated, as if ten streams had formed in the air, and the streams composed of ten blood were each poured on a pile of stumps, and the blood seeped down little by little.

A white cardinal stepped forward, and he shot out a holy light with one hand, trying to break up one of the stumps, but the pattern of the skeleton and the moon emitted a red light shield to protect the stumps.

Then, under the astonished gaze of everyone, the stumps slowly formed a complete woman. Their necks, arms, and thighs were shaking, as if they were adjusting to each other.

Finally, the first woman to complete the fusion, who had been dead for an unknown amount of time, had a grim smile on her lifeless face, and she said in a low voice:

"Is this the world of humans?"
