Early morning.

Shirley woke up to the sound of an alarm clock and the smell of fried bacon downstairs. She scratched her brown hair, which was toddled in a bit of confusion, and looked out the window in a strange way: the dim light in the room made her wonder if it was raining outside.

However, what caught the eye was a thick white fog.

'Foggy? ’

'It's a rarity in this season...' Shirley struggled to get up from the bed and put on the jeans that had been placed on the chair last night.

She didn't want to hang around in her panties because her teenage brother had already started doing those disgusting things.

Men or something...... Sure enough, once you grow up, you become a disgusting guy with a head full of that kind of thing. Obviously so cute when I was a child......

"Shirley~~~!" Downstairs came the mother's cry.

"It's coming! Mom! Shirley rushed out of the bathroom: she understood why her mother's voice was so urgent, because she wanted to sleep a little longer, she always set the alarm clock late, so she was very busy every morning, and if she missed the school bus at the corner of the street, she was afraid that she would have to ask her mother to drive her and her brother to school.

Twenty minutes later.

Shirley, a high school girl, and her younger brother rushed out of the house with their school bags on their backs.

A thick fog has covered everything in the streets.

If it weren't for the sound of the diesel engine and the huge silhouette of the school bus, Shirley would have suspected that she might not have been able to spot it until the car drove in front of her.

The door opened, and Shirley and her brother got into the car.

As soon as she got in the car, she saw Lisa, her classmate and best friend, and went to her side: "I've never seen such a thick fog." ”

At this time, a boy in the back seat poked his head out: "Don't you think that's cool?" ”

"Cool?! Isn't that cool at all? My phone is out of signal! "Four-Eyed Jerry, who wears black-rimmed glasses and is famous at school for being addicted to all kinds of video games, said.

"No signal?" Shirley noticed his words, took out her phone and looked at it, only to find that her phone had no signal.

Lisa next to her cleared her doubts: "There has been no signal since the early hours of last night, my father called to inquire, and I heard that the person who maintains the signal station said that it seems to be out of order, and it will take night to fix it at the earliest." ”

Shirley wanted to ask in detail, but by this time Lisa had already started to talk about fashion topics with the two classmates in the front seat, and Shirley gave up her intention to continue asking.

……

Whoa——!

A bucket of water splashed on the floor of the church, sending out a blood-red stream heading out the door.

A boy in his fifth or sixth grade was desperately cleaning up a large pool of blood from the floor of this church with a bucket, a long-handled brush, and detergent.

The air was filled with the strange smell of detergent and blood.

Basement.

Pastor Bell wore a priest's robes and held a silver cup filled with wriggling white bugs engraved with a human torture motif. This quaint silver cup is a legacy of the Bell family's ancestors, and in the priest's own opinion, these old objects are so primitive that they are a little wicked and unknowingly suitable as a ritual vessel for the Protestant sect.

Of course.

Luo Shen himself doesn't care about these bells and whistles.

In his opinion, things like sacrificial utensils are fine as long as they don't affect his ability to gain the power of faith. As for what material and style to use...... He doesn't care at all.

In the basement at this time, in addition to Bell, there were more than a dozen other townspeople who were chained.

The previous conflict in the church had frightened these ordinary believers.

And the strangeness of Pastor Bell, who had asked them to come to the church to talk about something, made them a little confused.

When did Reverend Bell become a cult leader?

But at this time, it is clear that no one dares to question the other party.

After all, when they were up there just now, everyone had already experienced with their blood how terrifying the iron fist of this usually weak Reverend Bell was—after all, the men who resisted were still lying on the ground unconscious!

"Pastor Becky, Bell ......" At this time, a middle-aged woman who usually has a good relationship with Bell spoke, she looked at the obviously "abnormal" pastor in front of her with confusion and fear, and stammered and asked: "Yes, what can we discuss!" Please、Please don't hurt us! ”

"Hurt?"

Pastor Bell almost laughed.

He looked obsessively at the silver cup filled with white worms in his hand, and his eyes fell on the middle-aged woman: "Liv, my friend, how can this hurt you?" ”

"Do you know what this is?"

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Bell looked crazy and said to himself: "This is the gift of my lord!" Beyond the mortal ladder! Make your weak, old, sickly flesh strong, young, and holy things free from sickness and pain! What about God? The Garden of Eden is nothing but an ethereal legend! Heaven is also only a lie of solace after death! Can that old man who deceived the world and steal his name be able to get rid of illness and old age in human flesh?! But my lord can! He is the only god in this world! The true God who walks in the flesh in the mortal world! ”

After the crazy declaration, Bell stopped talking to the stunned townspeople.

He immediately placed the white worms in the cup on the nostrils of these people, and as the white worms quickly entered his body, the inhabitants he had carefully selected quickly convulsed and fell to the ground......

The transformation began.

Bell, who already had some experience in reforming his wife and children, knew that these people would be reformed before the fog cleared.

At that time.

These characters, who he carefully selected from among the believers, who worked in all walks of life in the town, and who played a great role in the great gods ruling the whole town and developing the believers, would be transformed into "angels".

Of course.

Bell couldn't help but feel a little proud that the "divine gifts" in these people were not as powerful as his own. For example, his son and wife have only grown a pair of grayish-white wings after being transformed, and their physical strength has only been strengthened by two or three times, and the rest of it is nerve reflexes and regenerative ability...... Almost all of them are simply not comparable to Bell.

This is something that Bell is very proud of.

In his opinion, being looked upon differently by the gods was his greatest glory!

He had even begun to fantasize about the day when he became a being like the Catholic Emperor......

The little pastor, who was immersed in this "self-glorification" intoxication, did not realize that he was no different from the others in the eyes of that "god".

The so-called special treatment is just something that Luo Shen does casually.

He's just like everyone else in the town—just a testing ground for the most chaotic, willful god.

Compared to the "angels" conceived in each other's hearts, they are more like moths before they evolved into angels.
