Chapter 6: The Girl of Prayer
Dozens of translucent glass windows spread from the ceiling to the ground, and the sunlight shining through the glass adds a touch of sacredness to this church.
All of this is such a comfortable scene, if you add the girl kneeling in front of the idol and praying quietly, it will be a beautiful picture, right?
Liu Mengchao crouched in the shadows, looking at the girl with long brown hair in front of the statue, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled, and her eyes softened. His location was too secretive, the whole person was squatting on top of the twenty-meter-high statue, and the girl who was kneeling in front of the statue and praying looked more like she was kneeling to Liu Mengchao at this moment.
Jumping in, Liu Mengchao's whole person actually jumped down from the twenty-meter-high statue. It's just that when he landed, his voice was so soft, as if a feather was slowly falling to the ground.
White clothes and white robes, this is what Liu Mengchao is wearing now. He hid under his white hood, and the whole person rested peacefully in the shadows. Liu Mengchao's footsteps were so light that until Liu Mengchao walked to the girl's side, the girl was still immersed in her own prayers.
Liu Mengchao stood beside the girl like this, looking at the girl with his own eyes. He is not young, he will be twenty years old, with long reddish-brown hair and a shawl, and he wears a white dress. The expression when he prayed while half-kneeling was extremely solemn, which made people stop unconsciously.
"It's beautiful......"
Liu Mengchao sighed unconsciously and spoke.
"Who are you!?"
The girl stood up instantly, her long reddish-brown hair swaying in front of her in panic, and the hem of her white dress swaying uneasily at the same time.
"It's really nice to see through the beautiful and the ugly, isn't it?" The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth slid out a slight arc, and he said with a smile, "Just as people think that orangutans are ugly, it's really because he is too similar to humans." And the cult is ugly. Isn't it because he is so similar to religion? ”
Liu Mengchao's self-care words were like a fantasy for the girl, and she didn't understand a word. She just narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled quietly.
"Are you also a follower of the Helios Cult?"
"Sun God?"
Liu Mengchao raised his head and looked at the idol that had been trampled under his feet. Twenty meters tall, it looks like the shape of the sea emperor Poseidon that Liu Mengchao is familiar with, with a crown and a trident.
"It's not."
"So are you interested in the Rett Sect?" The girl's eyes were large and bright, like stars that could attract people's attention, "He can give immortal souls to the living, and he can give the dead the resurrection and rebirth." And all this has been confirmed! Bishop Gnero of the Rites has this miraculous power! ”
Miraculous power?
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth twitched. I subconsciously wanted to laugh. Although he had never seen the plot of Fullmetal Alchemist, it did not prevent Liu Mengchao's brain from functioning normally. You must know that even the Edward brothers, who stand at the top of the power of this world, have suffered tragic misfortune in order to resurrect their mother.
In other words...... I'm afraid this so-called bishop is full of water, right?
Sitting casually on the prayer bench, Liu Mengchao crossed his Erlang legs without respect. His toes swayed up and down in front of him, and his eyes looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.
"So you're a true believer in this Leyter Sect?"
"Yes! The Bishop has said that if I pray sincerely every day, Alex will be resurrected! ”
"Oh?"
Liu Mengchao heard the girl's words and buried his head directly. The corners of his mouth had already curled up before the girl's words came out.
Followed by. It was a burst, no, it should be said that bursts of completely irrepressible laughter erupted from Liu Mengchao's body. He laughed so loudly that he was like a blasphemer who didn't care. Such a move deserves to be punished by God, and at least it will be annoying to the girl in front of you.
"You are disrespectful to the god of Thunder like this!"
"Oooo Disrespectful behavior? Can this be considered disrespectful? ”
Liu Mengchao got up and stood directly in front of the girl. Liu Mengchao, who was wearing a white hood, couldn't see his facial features at all if he looked at it from a distance. But standing at such a close distance. The praying girl was able to see Liu Mengchao's facial features clearly at this moment, especially Liu Mengchao's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made people annoyed.
"You! Aren't you afraid of being damned? Hurry up and stop what you're doing......"
The girl who plucked up the courage to look at Liu Mengchao's eyes gradually became quieter. She slowly lowered her head, avoiding Liu Mengchao's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. It's just because this simple-minded girl only thinks that this man's eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts. Under his gaze, he seemed to be an insignificant person, in the middle of a cold and snowy place.
The coldness that came from the deepest part of his soul began to hit his whole body like a cold wave in December.
Liu Mengchao looked at the girl in front of him and shook his head gently. He was already surprised by such a person, only to see Liu Mengchao raise his hand, put it on the edge of the white hood, and then slowly faded the hood.
"Faith, at least faith like yours is not my creed. You're not so much in Xinyang as you're trading. You allow yourself to pray sincerely, so the gods are to respond with reverence. Speaking of which, this kind of behavior is like going to a restaurant to order food, you pay, and the boss serves the food. ”
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth were curled, but his eyes were cold.
"Nope! As long as I believe in it, ......"
"The people you care about will be resurrected, won't they?" Liu Mengchao walked past the girl, tilting his head and staring at the statue of God Thunder in front of him.
"What a good deal, as long as I have faith, I can get anything I want. So in other words, when did faith become so worthless, and when did gods become so cheap? ”
Liu Mengchao spoke quickly, faster than the girl's cheeks turned pale. His eyes seemed to radiate a sharp sword. Constantly stabbing the delicate heart of the girl.
"By the way, have you ever seen God?"
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled, and he asked a nonsensical word.
"Haven't seen it! Hell has seen it once! ”
In the distance, an even louder answer was heard. It was a short man, just one and a half meters tall, and he was shorter than Levi, who Liu Mengchao was familiar with. Wearing a scarlet windbreaker, he was followed by a large man in armor who was nearly two meters tall.
There is no doubt that the men were none other than Edward and his younger brother, Alphonse. And the reason why they say that they have seen hell is that anyone who has seen what these two people look like now will not be surprised by this, right?
Liu Mengchao was not surprised by this, although he didn't know much about the plot of the Fullmetal Alchemist, but this pair of famous brothers had been refined, and Liu Mengchao still knew about wanting to resurrect his mother. He nodded slightly, as a greeting to the Fullmetal Alchemist brother who had just arrived.
"Where's the bottle of wine?" 、
How do you know that Edward saw Liu Mengchao for the first time, and asked such a question directly. Although he enjoyed the treatment of a major and special research funds as a national alchemist, it was still unacceptable to spend nearly 40,000 yuan on a casual meal.
"One cup is still in the river, one cup is sent to old friends, one cup has been poured into the block, and one cup is sad." The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled slightly, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
He hadn't discovered one thing until now, something that Liu Mengchao might not have experienced for a long time since he entered the Lord God World.
He hadn't been left alone for too long. Man is a social animal, and after living in a group, it is often the collapse of psychological defenses.
"So...... Not a drop left by you? ”
Although Liu Mengchao's words Edward seemed to understand, he didn't see a man who borrowed wine to drown his sorrows. Liu Mengchao's statement, he can be said to be completely understanding at the moment.
"yes, there's not a drop left."
Liu Mengchao grinned and laughed.
"But I just met a very powerful god, as long as you pray sincerely, don't say a bottle of wine, even the dead can be resurrected to show you."
"God ......?"
Edward pursed his lips and sneered.
"Yes, God who cannot protect himself."
Liu Mengchao shook his head and sighed softly. (To be continued......)
