0248 Madonna Mary
The windows around the hall were covered with black curtains, and when the doors were closed, the whole hall was particularly dim, except for a dozen braziers lit around the high platform in front of it, illuminating a piece of the arena on the platform. But I saw two rows of young girls dressed in white silk robes, dressed as nuns, holding candlesticks and slowly walking out of the small door on the left side of the high platform.
"What's this about?" Xiao Chu and the three of them stared at each other, they didn't expect to see such a picture like acting here and now.
"Don't make a sound, Mother Mary is out!" The bewitching woman reminded in a low voice, because from the moment the door closed, no one in this hall made a sound, so even if Xiao Chu kept his voice to a minimum, it was still easy for others to notice.
I saw that on the high platform in front of me, the two rows of girls dressed as nuns gradually stood still, slowly turned around, and made way for a space in the middle part, and an old woman with a plump body and wearing a gorgeous silk nun dress appeared on the left side of the high platform.
"Long live Our Lady! Long live Our Lady! Suddenly a shout erupted in the crowd, and someone was actually shouting hooray! And the man seemed to just get up, and then the whole hall shouted.
Xiao Chu couldn't believe his eyes and ears, as soon as the old woman appeared, these people were boiling, all of them raised their hands high, and the shouts of 'Long live' were deafening, making Xiao Chu can't help but have an illusion, as if returning to the ancient court, the old woman on the high platform is not a nun, but a generation of empresses admired by thousands of people!
"Follow me!" The bewitching woman was a little stunned when she saw Xiao Chu and the others, and hurriedly reminded them to cheer with her. There was no way, Xiao Chu, Emma and Lev had to follow her example, raise their right hands high, and make a gesture where the thumb, middle finger and ring finger were clasped together, but the index finger and little finger were stretched upward, and Xiao Chu found that hundreds of people in the entire hall were actually making the same gesture!
"What the hell is this!?" Xiao Chu seriously doubted that these people were all neurotics, and they were even crazier than those crazy star chasers in the past.
But seeing the Mother of the Virgin smiling, she slowly walked to the center of the high platform, stretched out her hand to signal the people below to be quiet, Xiao Chu carefully looked at the Mother of the Virgin, not tall, a little fat, about fifty years old, under sixty years old, her face was very ruddy, there were not many wrinkles, and her face was full of girlish smiles.
Seeing that the Mother gradually calmed down, she smiled and said, "May the Holy Lord bless you from disaster!" ”
It's just such an unnutritious sentence, but in exchange for a cheer, the smile on the face of the Holy Mother became more and more proud, and she seemed to be very satisfied with this effect, and continued: "The Holy Lord saw that the world was covered by the plague, and sent the Holy Maiden to help us, only by following the Holy Maiden, can we be saved by the Holy Lord, and can we go to the Elysium where the Holy Lord is!" ”
"Long live the Holy Maiden! Long live the Holy Maiden! The crowd erupted in shouts again, but this time it was the saint who shouted. Xiao Chu's eyes quickly searched on the stage, hoping to find the saint that the Mother of the Virgin said, but after looking at it for a long time, I felt that it was not like it, and the Mother of the Virgin didn't seem to have the intention of inviting the Holy Maiden.
"Don't look for it, the saint is not on the stage." The bewitching woman seemed to see what Xiao Chu meant, and said in a low voice.
"What the hell is going on here? What the hell is this Virgin for? And where is the Holy Maiden? ”
"Here are believers in the Holy Maiden, they believe that only the Holy Maiden can lead them out of the sea of suffering, that Our Lady Mother is the spokesperson of the Holy Maiden, and that her words are the words of the Holy Maiden."
After listening to the woman's explanation, Xiao Chu and the three of them suddenly understood, and a word instantly appeared in the minds of the three of them: Cult!
In fact, in the current world environment, it is not surprising that a cult organization has appeared under the guise of saving mankind, and human beings are in despair, always hoping that there will be such a person to save them, and always hope that there will be such a savior to save the world, and the cult organization is using this to deceive people's hearts, and, judging from the current situation, the Mother of the Virgin in front of him is likely to be the person who bewitches people's hearts, and in contrast, the status of the so-called Holy Woman in this organization is probably not as high as that of this Mother Mary, and it is even possible that it is just a puppet of this Madonna Mama.
Of course, all this is just Xiao Chu's speculation, whether the holy woman is a puppet or not, the healing effect of the 'holy water' on the zombie plague has been confirmed, which means that this cult organization does have a trump card in its hands and has the capital to deceive everyone.
But I saw that the Mother of the Virgin waved her hand again to signal quiet, but her face changed, and the kind smile she had had suddenly disappeared, replaced by a cold and vicious face, and she seemed to grit her teeth and said: "I heard that some people have been disrespectful to the Holy Maiden recently, and have even put the holy water given by the Holy Maiden in a dirty and filthy place!" ”
The crowd suddenly stirred, and while there was a lot of discussion, it seemed that some people frequently looked at Xiao Chu's side, of course, what they paid attention to was not Xiao Chu, Emma and Lev, the three fresh faces, but the bewitching woman next to them, but the woman seemed to care about the gazes of those people, and still gave a wink to everyone who cast a glance at her.
Of course, Xiao Chu knew what Mother Mary was referring to, but for some reason, the bewitching woman next to her didn't seem to be a fellow traveler with Mother Mary, and she seemed to be holding something, not afraid of Mother Mary at all.
Our Lady Mother snorted coldly, and continued: "Our holy daughter is magnanimous, and she also repays her with virtue for those who blaspheme her, but we can't help but maintain the dignity of the holy woman!" If there is a next time, even if there is a saint to protect me, I will definitely find out that shameless person and send her to feed the zombies! It seems that the Mother of the Virgin also seems to be afraid of the bewitching woman, but only warns her but does not really treat her badly, and does not point it out in public.
Then the Mother Mother regained her smiling face again, and the speed of the change of face was astonishing, but she waved her hand to summon a few maidens dressed as nuns, and said: "Now we can start praying, and write your prayers on the tribute to the Holy Maiden, the more precious the tribute, the more blessings you will receive from the Holy Maiden, and the sooner you will reach Elysium!" If your tribute makes the Holy Maiden happy, you will also receive holy water from the Holy Maiden! ”
It turned out that many people had prepared tributes for the saints before coming to this church, and these tributes were varied, including gold and silver jewelry, pearls and diamonds, Jinhua ham, and canned pig's head meat...... However, these offerings have a small note attached to them, which is probably the prayer that Mother Mary said.
However, it seems that whether or not to prepare tribute for the saint was voluntary, and a considerable number of people did not prepare tribute, and even so, the iron plates in the hands of those girls were still full, and they could not take them on one trip, so they had to go back to the second and third trips......
Now this situation is obvious, this Mother of the Virgin is clearly collecting money under the banner of the Holy Maiden!
Taking advantage of the chaos at this moment, the bewitching girl narrowed her eyes, made sure that no one noticed them at the moment through her special vision, and quietly pulled Xiao Chu and the three of them to retreat to the side door next to the hall, and the four of them slipped out of the church through the side door, and then hid along the wall in the corner of a side hall on the right side of the church.
"Well, now tell me what you're here for. I don't think you're looking for a shelter. The bewitching woman asked in a low voice.
"Holy water!" Xiao Chu directly stated their purpose. Judging from all the things just now, it seems that this woman is not all the way with those believers, and in fact, she dragged Xiao Chu and the three into the church and watched the performance of the Mother of the Virgin, as if she intended to explain this to them.
Hearing Xiao Chu's return, the woman smiled, and she smiled so naturally, without the slightest deliberate flattery, it was completely a heartfelt laugh.
"As long as you do me a favor, you will get holy water!"
Xiao Chu had long known that this woman was not unforgiving them, she must have her purpose, and now she finally had to negotiate terms with herself. However, Xiao Chu didn't seem to have much choice, he had no clue how to find the holy water, and he didn't know where to start, but now that he had a clue, he definitely wouldn't let it go.
"What's the hurry, you say come and hear it?"
"I want you to take the saint away!" The woman's words surprised Xiao Chu and the others, and they didn't know what she meant. Not to mention that it is not yet known what the identity of this holy woman is, just from the attitude of believers towards the holy woman, if the holy woman is really taken away, it will be equivalent to offending their gods and stealing their spiritual sustenance, and the consequence will directly invite the most crazy revenge of these believers.
It took a long time for Xiao Chu to ask, "Why?" ”
"As you can see, the Mother of the Virgin controls these believers in the name of the Holy Maiden, but in fact the Holy Maiden herself knows nothing about it."
Is this saint just a puppet? Xiao Chu confirmed his guess.
The bewitching woman continued: "The Holy Maiden is under the control of the Mother of the Virgin, and she has been very miserable every day, and she has been kind to me, and I cannot bear to let her continue to suffer here, so I hope you will take her away. ”
"But ......," it was Emma who interjected, "why don't you save the saint yourself?" ”
The bewitching woman smiled miserably, spread her hands and said, "I don't have that ability, and besides, the Holy Maiden is weak, weaker than ordinary people, even if I rescue her, I don't have the ability to protect her." However, you are different, you are high-level reformers, even in the face of thousands of zombies, you have the ability to protect the safety of the Holy Maiden, and I believe that you must have more manpower.
