Chapter XXVII: The Temple
Outside the desolate abandoned factory, the charred yellow soil is dry and cracked, but there are still a few clusters of weeds that can draw water from the ground and survive and grow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A cool breeze blew, crushing the weeds and blowing up the plastic bags and grocery bags scattered on the ground, they did not know how long they had been in this wasteland, and there were no microorganisms that could degrade them, so that they were like ghosts wandering in the world, hidden in the shadows, unable to move, and only swaying by the wind when the wind rose.
"See all this garbage?"
A voice sounded, like a fingernail scraping a blackboard, a wire scraping through glass, which made people feel sore.
The owner of the voice was a tall man in a leather coat, tall and thin, with a pestle in the open space like a bamboo pole for drying clothes. He raised his equally thin arm and pointed to the wind-blown garbage around him.
"You are like these garbage, you can only find a little living space in the soil that no one cares about, forever cowering in a corner that no one cares about, and you can only wait until the sky and earth set off a storm before taking the opportunity to make some eye-catching small actions. But after the storm, you still have to go back to the corner and continue to live a dark garbage life. ”
"Boom."
Opposite the tall man stood eleven figures, the leader of which had a huge head that was unusual for ordinary people.
The pumpkin-sized head erupted into a strange laugh and cracked open a blood-red mouth with a little bit of meat and tendons between its teeth.
After laughing, he stretched out his long and slender tongue like a snake and licked his fangs, and used the sharp tip of his forked tongue like a toothpick to pick out the fresh minced meat between his teeth, exhaled a disgusting stench, and said, "Are you stopping us just to be funny here?" ”
As soon as the words fell, an undisguised ridicule immediately sounded behind him, and the eleven figures leaned forward and backwards with a smile.
The tall man was not annoyed, he slowly lowered his hand, stared deeply at the eleven fellow clans opposite, and said sincerely: "Fellow clansmen, you have seriously violated the first and third articles of the Holy Clan's decree: you must not kill human beings for no reason without danger, and you must not eat living human beings without permission. Please give up your resistance and come with us to the temple to be punished by the law. As long as you obey the Supreme Commandment, change your minds, and accept the transformation, the Temple will not strip you of your right to exist. ”
"Guy, you're really here to be funny. What kind of bullshit temple, they all escaped from the far river, what is the difference between you and us, just two months, and return to the temple? Pretending. ”
The tall man smiled and shook his head: "The history of the temple is far longer than you think, the great first holy envoy, Lord Shengbai, has a far-reaching layout, has long foreseen the current situation, and founded the temple under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It's just that in Yuanjiang, the temple has always been behind the scenes, and it was not until the Holy Clan faced an existential crisis that the temple with the sacred mission was unveiled and stepped forward. Come, fellow people, accept the judgment and guidance of the Temple, and join us in the glorious future of the Holy Family. ”
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. You say your bullshit temple wants to save our people from life and death, but you make a stupid decree that you are not allowed to eat humans? Are you too stupid, or are you too funny? ”
"No, the Holy Order does not allow us to eat human bodies, but we can eat human corpses that have died due to disease or natural causes." The tall man smiled with an unfathomable smile that meant a lot, "All the decisions of the Temple, including the holy orders that we should strictly enforce, are all in the service of my Holy Family. At present, the strength of our race is far inferior to that of human beings, and if the human world reaches a unified understanding and wants to exterminate our race, then our race will have no chance at all. So we have to learn to hide ourselves, to disguise ourselves, to make humanity think that we are not a threat, to tell humanity that we can live with them. Then there will be internal strife in human beings, creating a respite for us. ”
"As long as we can get through this most difficult and dark time, soon, under the protection of the Holy Spirit, the dawn of hope will be reflected before us." The tall man paused, and continued, "Lord Saint Bai has met with several European nobles and reached a cooperation agreement, our Holy Race will soon usher in more new clans, and they will continue to hide in the elite social groups of the human race as human beings, open up more living space for our clan, and create and transform more of our clans. ”
At this time, the tall man's expression gradually became fanatical, he opened his arms and shouted, "Lord Saint Bai once told us that one day, the Holy Clan will become the ruler of this blue planet, and I believe that day will come soon. Don't hesitate any longer, fellow clansmen, following an ignorant tyrant like the Holy One, can only wallow in the garbage heap and die in a helpless fate. Only by joining us can we follow the great temple and create a glorious future for our people! ”
The figure standing across from him took a step back, holding his huge head with both hands, there was no more mocking smile on his face, only a painful struggle, because his mind was shaken, so the brain-eating worm in the cranial cavity began to revive and move, swimming outside his brain tissue, salivating.
"You brainwashed idiots." He said, "Knowing that killing is the true saint, and distorting nature like you will only gradually be assimilated by humans and eventually reduced to meat." ”
"It seems that you will not go with me back to the temple to receive the punishment you deserve." The tall man's expression, which was still extremely fanatical just now, instantly turned cold, as if a piece of ice would not melt on his face, "According to the special law promulgated by the Temple, I have temporary law enforcement powers from now on, and I will be responsible for your trial and execution. ”
"On behalf of the Temple, I declare that you have been sentenced to death and executed immediately, as you have seriously violated the first and third articles of the Holy Decree, and your attitude is serious, and your contempt for the Temple."
As soon as the words fell, the tall man's leather coat shredded, and his thin figure like a bamboo pole suddenly skyrocketed, turning into a giant creature nearly three meters tall in an instant, standing in place like an iron tower.
Behind him and opposite, more than twenty figures changed at the same time, revealing ugly prototypes.
There were no superfluous words, and a fierce battle ensued, and the bloody wind and rain swept through the wasteland.
The two sides are similarly different, but the battle is one-sided.
The Templar Owner fought valiantly, risking his life, to the point of madness that his opponents thought they wanted to die first. Under this tsunami-like offensive, the other side quickly routed and fled.
Ten minutes later, the tall man, naked in his human form, unscrewed off the pumpkin-sized head, inserted his hand through his eye socket, and then pulled it out of it, and as he moved, a thick and smelly yellowish liquid burst out. And the tall man already had a writhing flesh worm in his hand.
"Papa" put his five fingers together, crushing the meat worm into meat puree, the tall man looked down at his sleek body, and gave an order to the remaining six subordinates with an expressionless face: "Prepare to evacuate." ”
The six monsters with hideous and terrifying shapes put away their fangs and claws, and gradually changed back into human form, without a single inch.
When his subordinates finished deforming, the tall man lifted the suitcase placed next to the weeds, unzipped it, and took out the suitable-sized clothes and shoes and began to distribute them. After handing out the clothes and preparing to put on his coat, he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up at the sky.
I saw a young man in black crossing the sea of clouds and coming from the sky.
