Chapter 127: The Tower of Babel
Jun Chengzong took the bottle containing holy water from Judy's hand, raised his wrist and nodded two drops into the water glass, and then walked to the living room with the water glass.
In the face of the sudden appearance of Gaunt, Jun Chengzong and Judy could not be defenseless, so they lit two drops of holy water in Gaunt's water glass.
For normal people, drinking holy water is no different from ordinary water, but if a demon comes into contact with holy water, it is like a person touching a strong acid.
If a human being is bound by a demon and drinks the holy water, then even if he is immortal, he will have to shed his skin.
"How did you find us?" Jun Chengzong walked up to Gaunt, handed the cup of water containing the holy water to Gaunt, and then sat down in front of Gaunt.
Gaunt looks like a normal uncle in his forties, and the biggest difference from the photo in Judy's hand should be that Gaunt has a lot of vicissitudes compared to the photo.
It seems that Gaunt has not had a smooth life outside in recent years, and the beard and seeping scars on his face prove it.
Gunter unsuspectingly picked up the water cup in front of him, raised his head and drank it clean, then put down the water cup and said to Jun Chengzong: "The purpose of my visit this time is to kill Yura, but it was your appearance that disrupted my plans. ”
"When I got there, she fell right from the upper floor."
Seeing that Gaunt drank all the water into it and didn't react at all, Jun Chengzong and Judy were relieved.
At this time, Judy walked out from the side and said to Gaunt, "We have been looking for you, you know the Psychic Medium Society and the Exorcism Court......"
However, Gaunt didn't let Judy finish speaking, he raised his hand to interrupt Judy's words, nodded, and said, "I know all the situations you mentioned, in fact, since the end of that battle thirteen years ago, they have already begun to infiltrate the Exorcist Court and the Psychic Medium Association. ”
"It was because of this situation that Father Newman and I devised a play to excommunicate me, which gave me the opportunity to find the thing that prevented Kutulu's resurrection." Gaunt straightened his crumpled clothes and said.
"Something?" Judy listened to Gaunt's words, was visibly stunned, and asked rhetorically, "What is it?" ”
Gaunt glanced at Judy, then his gaze fell on Jun Chengzong, his lips twitched, and he spat out three words: "Tower of Babel." ”
"The Tower of Babel?" Hearing Gaunt say this, Jun Chengzong and Judy let out a cry of surprise at the same time.
Jun Chengzong has been in the United States for so many years, and has been exposed to and learned a lot of knowledge about religious theology, and Judy herself is an American, and faith is like this, so the two of them are no strangers to the story of the Tower of Babel.
In the biblical story, the Tower of Babel is God's explanation for the linguistic and racial divisions that gave birth to human beings.
Legend has it that at the beginning, human beings did not have different languages and races, and after escaping the Great Flood, in order to avoid the possible recurrence of the Great Flood, and also to get closer to God, they began to jointly build a tower that could lead to the kingdom of heaven, which is often referred to as the Tower of Babel in later generations.
The appearance of the Tower of Babel caused God to realize that his oath was being questioned, so that the people of the time gave rise to different languages and races, and scattered them around the world, and the construction of the Tower of Babel was abandoned.
This legend is widely spread in biblical stories, but the story of the Tower of Babel has always been regarded as a mere legend.
Jun Chengzong and Judy looked at Gaunt, wanting to hear his explanation.
Gaunt raised an eyebrow at the two of them and muttered, "It seems that you really don't know anything." ”
"The Tower of Babel is real, but it doesn't lead to heaven," Gaunt said, turning the cup in front of him upside down and slamming it upside down on the table, "but to hell." ”
"From the beginning, the Tower of Babel was not built by people to lead to heaven, and the real purpose of its existence was to release the demons of hell."
"In Hebrew, 'Babel' means chaos, and the Tower of Babel was not something that people built in search of the gods in the first place."
"The worship of demons has existed since the birth of mankind, and the Tower of Babel was built by those fanatical believers who worship demons as our lord, and the reason why people have not found the remains of the Tower of Babel is because the Tower of Babel is not on the ground, but a deep pit that hovers below the ground."
Hearing Gaunt say this, Jun Chengzong couldn't help frowning, and Judy on the side also had an expression of disbelief.
Although they all know that there is a certain truth in theology, they really listen to the stories in the Bible as stories, but at this time, telling them that Bible stories are not just stories is not just a few stories, which can be said to be a very strong subversion for their cognition.
It's like telling an adult on the street that there really is Santa Claus in the world and showing him some evidence that proves the truth, which is hard to accept for a while.
As for Jun Chengzong and Judy's expressions at this time, Gaunt had already expected it, so he ignored the surprised expressions of the two of them, and continued: "I don't know where the Tower of Babel is, but I found that since a few years ago, many people who have completed their union with the devil have begun to come to China one after another, and I guess they should have come to find the Tower of Babel." ”
"So I came here after them, hunting the demons and looking for the Tower of Babel."
"It's a passage to hell, and it's the only way for demons to come to the surface, if I can find the Tower of Babel before the final demon counterattack, and block the demon's passage to the surface, then Kutulu won't be able to resurrect, and those demons who have come to the surface will have only one way to die."
Gaunt said, shaking his head slightly, they are quite different in strength compared to the demons at this time, maybe the only way to go is to close the Tower of Babel, but seeing that time is getting more and more pressing, he has no clue about the Tower of Babel, how can he not be in a hurry?
After hearing what Gaunt said, Judy hurriedly said, "Why don't you let us help you?" Now that the Psychic Association and the Exorcist Court have fallen, only the two of us can help you, let us help you! ”
When Gaunt heard Judy's words, he just looked up at her and didn't say anything.
However, just as Judy was about to say something, the light above their heads suddenly flashed twice.
The three of them subconsciously raised their heads and looked up, but at the same time, the dice on Jun Chengzong's wrist suddenly erupted into a violent tremor.
Dangerous?
Suddenly, the lights above their heads went out, and the room was plunged into darkness.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Gaunt also realized something and quickly stood up.
However, before he could say a word of warning, a black shadow slammed him out of the way and slammed it against the wall.
Shadow Fiend!
