The rain became heavier and heavier, so heavy that I had to find a place to shelter from it.

In the ruins, B3068 found a church that, compared to the other buildings, was quite well preserved, at least the roof was not broken. As a shelter from the rain, it's up to the mark.

The area of the church is not small, with corridors, courtyards, confessional rooms, and chapels, although no one has been here for an unknown number of years, but you can still see the appearance of countless believers gathered here in those years.

When Hatsuwa B3068 pushed open the door of the chapel, a cloud of dust fell from the door that had been sealed for an unknown amount of time.

B3068 stomped his feet and shook off the rain that remained on his body, as for the dust that had just fallen, it didn't care, it was already covered in it.

The sound of B3068's stomping echoed through the wide, silent chapel, and at first glance ahead, rows of benches lined the sides. Dust piled up on it, some leaning, some falling to the ground, made this originally solemn place of prayer look a little desolate.

The faint sunlight of the rain shines through the window on the wall and falls in front of the prayer table, leaving it with a rare touch of holiness.

"Rustle. ”

The raindrops were beating on the windows, and the rain outside was not stopping.

At first I simply looked around the chapel.

For some reason, my eyes stayed in front of the prayer table, and I was a little distracted.

There were no nuns singing chants on the prayer platform, no priests reading the words, only a lone book on the stand in front of the table.

"Drip, drip, drip. ”

The electronic sound of the B3068 is loud, and it seems to be complaining about the bad weather, it doesn't like rainy days, which can make it short-circuit.

Chu walked slowly to the prayer platform until she stood still in front of it, and she looked up at the wall behind the prayer platform, which was beautifully painted with murals.

Although the color has fallen off in many places, it is not difficult to see what is depicted in the mural.

It depicts a blood-colored wasteland, and beyond the gloomy sky above the wasteland is a seven-colored glow, and in the glow there is a mouth, as if representing an unknown sound.

That's why I looked at this place from the moment I came in, and this mural is like a painting of the Apostolic Wasteland.

Drawing the wasteland where she stood.

B3068 didn't know this, but it didn't bother Chu when he saw Chu looking at the mural in a daze, and quietly found a bench to sit down.

Because it ignored it at first, it could only listen to the sound of the rain while spinning its fingers in boredom.

For a long time, Chu stopped looking at the mural, she lowered her head and looked at the book on the stand.

It was a heavy book, and if I had to describe how heavy it was, it would probably be the kind of weight that can be fatal when smashed on the head.

Hatsu reached out and brushed the dust off the pages, then opened the book.

On the first page of the opening chapter, there is only one sentence written in the book.

"The god is dead, but his will is still alive and continues his unfinished business. ”

At first glance, the words in the book were understood, and when she conveyed the mission information, the voice had already conveyed the various languages of the world to her.

Chu continued reading, and her instincts told her that she should read on.

She didn't know how long she had been reading, and the dark yellow pages were turned by her.

It wasn't until she read one of the chapters that her hand stopped.

God sent messengers to take away people's sins, but the messengers eventually died of their sins. After God left, His will inherited the unfinished business. It wanted to take away the evil of men, so it began to look for messengers.

God's will is different from God's, and it summons countless people and lives to the wasteland.

It is so cruel and merciless that it kills countless lives against each other, with the sole intention of electing the worst of the worst.

Until the villain is born in the corpse.

It reshapes the body of the wicked with sin, tears its body with sin, sings the hymn of its birth with pain, and forges its soul with suffering.

Bad karma swallows it up like a mire, and a dark shadow covers its face.

Because it is a wicked man born of corpses, it does not deserve the slightest mercy.

God's will let him cry in pain, let him pray, let him beg for mercy, and ignore it.

Finally, the villains were covered in darkness and listened to the oracle.

God will call it an apostle, not a messenger, and command it to go into the world and bring back sin.

Therefore, God will cause the worst of people to take away their sins, and then let them bear the punishment in their place, so that the sins will be eliminated.

—The Birth of the Apostles"

At first glance, I looked at the page, and I looked at the announcement on the page.

Nor could she tell if it was a coincidence or an inevitability, as if she was destined to see this text.

Suddenly, she had the feeling of looking at herself, as if she was watching her birth from the perspective of a bystander.

Isn't it, how similar it was, and the scene when she was born.

Emerge from the corpse, covered in shadows.

It turns out that I am a villain, the worst villain?

When she first looked at her palm, she had killed so many lives, and it was not too much to be called so.

Suddenly, with a smile on her face, she smiled, gentle and calm.

"That's right. ”

She said, looking at her palms.

There was not a trace of resentment or hatred in her voice, only a little relief.

It turned out that these were the punishments she deserved.

In that case, let her bear it, she is willing to do so.

Just as she was willing to take Hillman and Sakurako's sin, she would take B3068's, take everyone's.

After all, she's the worst person, isn't she, and she's the one who has the most reason to bear it.

B3068 looked at the church, curious about the strange structure, and looked around.

At this point, it saw a rope tied to the wall of the church, and B3068 looked at the rope suspiciously, reaching out and pulling it.

The rope was pulled, and dust fell from it.

And then...

"Dang!"

The church bell was rung and spread in the rain and spread through the gray city.

B3068 was surprised, and then pulled the rope again, and he was always happy with these things that made sounds.

"Dangdang, dang—"

The bell rang again and again, as if it had returned to the way it used to be.

The nuns stood on the prayer platform and sang hymns.

The priest reads the message.

And under the prayer table, he stood alone at first.

The light of holiness shone through the window on her, leaving her sins with nowhere to hide.

Before the Holy Prayer.

She is a sinner and the only sinner.

Listen silently, God's chastise.

"Hail Mary, you are full of grace.

The Lord is with you.

Thou art praised among women.

Blessed be Jesus, your son.

The Virgin Mary.

Now, pray to God for us sinners for forgiveness. ”

So isn't it best for God to forgive the world and leave only one sinner?

(Reply to the book review: There are many readers who say that this world is a bit like the robot WALL-E, well, how to say, there is indeed part of the inspiration from this anime, but the ruins and the lonely robot will be a bit similar, and some of the other settings and story lines will definitely be different, and you can also compare them yourself.)

And then there was a reader who said that sin could not be taken away, how could I not go to heaven. Bitterly smiling, of course I know that sin cannot be taken away, it is just a presupposition, a conceptual thing of false reference. If you insist on saying this, then you can talk about the luck and karma in the novels of cultivating immortals, and I can't stop you.

Okay, that's all for now, travel for the New Year, everyone pay attention to safety, bye-bye. ）
