The rail car they were riding in made a half-circle around the edge of the man-made cavern and stopped at a tall building that had also been converted into a platform.

When Catherine led the group off the railcar, and before Jason and Nelson could get used to the current down-to-earth feeling, more than a dozen clergymen wearing clergy uniforms, swords and crossbows around their waists greeted them and saluted Catherine.

This was so striking that the other people on the platform who had just gotten off the railcar and were about to board the railcar were all visible, and when they saw Catherine, they all bowed to Catherine as a sign of respect.

Although it was already known on the periphery of the cage city that Catherine had an extraordinary reputation, she was still a little shocked to see the three of them, including Leo, and Nelson's face couldn't help but show a hint of self-shame.

At this moment, a young priest from the group of priests with gold threads embroidered on his shoulders and strange symbols tattooed on his shirt stepped forward, respectfully addressed Catherine, and said, "Miss Catherine, High Priest Major has known that you are coming, and is waiting for you in the meditation hall. ”

Catherine frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Your eyes and ears in the guard hall are long enough, I just made a temporary decision to come to the diocese, and you immediately knew my whereabouts. ”

The young priest did not refute Catherine's words, nor did he defend himself, but only looked at Catherine with a smile, as if he was completely allowed to be beaten and scolded.

Faced with this situation, Catherine had no choice but to nod to the young priest and say, "Lead the way! I haven't seen Major for a while, and it's good to see an old friend." ”

Hearing Catherine's words, the young priest led his men to lead the way, and as for Leo, the three of them were not looked at by these priests from beginning to end, like air.

Although it was a little uncomfortable to be completely ignored like this, as far as the current situation is concerned, Leo and the others prefer that the other party continue to ignore themselves like this, so as not to cause any surprises.

The building's dedicated lifts were obviously much larger and stronger than those on the outskirts of Cage City, and the steel chains were strong enough to easily accommodate dozens of people on each trip.

The person who designed the elevator obviously understood the thoughts of the passengers, and he removed the baffles facing the deep cave in the city and replaced them with railings that were not very narrow, so that the people inside the elevator could see the scenery outside that was different from the rest of the cage city when the elevator slowly fell or rose.

Because there is no dense housing in the cage city, the light from the outside world spills down from the sky and falls on the quaint buildings with obvious religious signs in the deep caves, so that the people in the cage city can feel the warmth of the sun even if they do not go out of the cage city, even if the sunlight is second-hand goods that have been sifted through dark clouds and industrial fog.

This kind of scenery, which looks very ordinary from the outside, is placed in the cage city, which is known as the steel black forest, but it exudes an inexplicable divine aura, and anyone who sees the vision in front of them has the illusion that this place is a place of light and a sacred place.

In the elevator, Leo, who saw the vision, also had to admire the person who designed all this, and that person's grasp of people's hearts was absolutely masterful.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Catherine did not have the slightest excitement or appreciation, but said with great disgust: "In order to build this shelter of light, a total of more than 500,000 people living in this area were relocated, thousands of steel-framed buildings were demolished, and a total of more than 3,000 people died in the demolition of high-rise buildings and the construction of these religious buildings, more than 50,000 people were injured and disabled, and the funds consumed were as much as 4 million gold flanges. I don't know if I made the right decision?"

"Of course it's true. The young priest, though he had great respect for Catherine, still adhered to his own ideas and opinions, and retorted without hesitation: "It is true that the sacrifices of our predecessors have been great, but they have created a refuge for us orphans, not only for the body, but also for the soul. Every Cage City person benefits from this, and we are deeply proud to have such a bright place, and we also deeply respect the heroes who gave their lives for it. ”

Catherine did not go any further in the face of the young man's rebuttal, knowing full well that nothing would lead to discussing such a question with these priests.

Soon the elevator came to the bottom floor, and the two priests opened the gates, and everyone rushed out, and it was only then that Nelson, who had come here for the first time, saw the situation clearly, and this scene made him a little surprised and puzzled.

I saw that the ground here was full of people except for the main aisles, all of whom were wrapped in black burqas, holding a book similar to the scriptures in their hands, and by the faint light around them, the believers were silently reciting the scriptures on the books, and the voices of these recitations not only did not make people feel the slightest sacredness and tranquility, but felt very oppressive and very secretive.

It would have been true if it had only been the case in the area near the steel-framed buildings of Cage City, but the real situation was that there was a person sitting in the entire Bright Shelter where people could sit, covered in black robes, and reciting scriptures.

In addition, some priests wearing various clerical uniforms made rounds of different areas according to the color of their clothes, some carrying food to distribute to hungry believers, others checking whether some believers who had not moved for a long time were still breathing, but more often answering their scriptural questions for believers.

"Are these patients?" Nelson looked at the scene in front of him, and then at his medical bag, and couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

"You don't have to worry about running out of your herbs, it seems to me that none of these people will be willing to accept your treatment at all, they are all waiting for their god to deliver them from this painful world. Leo looked coldly at the people sitting on the ground around him and said.

At this moment, he didn't need to turn on his spiritual vision at all, he could easily feel the despair in these people.

These breaths of despair were originally generated by the negative emotions of these patients themselves, and through the absorption and transformation of those religious symbols painted on the walls and engraved on the ground, they became a negative energy force field, which affected them, made the negative emotions in their hearts increase, and the breath of despair was generated again, and the influence continued again and again until the day of the end of life.

"I don't like it here. Jason, who had a keen instinct, tightened his clothes, shivered as if he was in the cold winter, and said, "It's worse here than outside." ”

"I don't like it either, but some people do, and for them, it's what Beirut calls the Garden of Eternity. Leo scoffed unabashedly.

Leo's conversation was not very loud, but it was enough for the others to hear it clearly, and the mockery in it could be felt even by even the most stupid people, and the faces of the surrounding priests became a little gloomy, and it can be said that if Leo hadn't come with Catherine, maybe these priests would have started to teach these blasphemers by now.

The group walked through a lawn full of people, and after passing through a grove of trees, they came to a straight road leading to the Sainte-Chapelle. In the middle of the road there were two rows of tracks, and a railcar was already waiting there, and the young priest led the group to get into the car and make a quick pilgrimage to the Chapel.

After about three minutes, the rail car stopped, and this was the square in front of the Saccharistry, which, like the rest of the world, was filled with sick believers, but instead of holding a book and reading, they prayed and prayed to the only statue of Akenaya in the square.

"The three of them stayed, and the High Priest of Major only asked to see Miss Catherine. As soon as they got out of the car, the young priest stopped Leo and said.

Leo frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but Catherine said, "I'd better go in alone!" Nelson, Mr. Dodd, and Mr. Jason please take a rest here first. ”

Seeing that the person concerned had already said this, Leo was not easy to refute, and walked to the side of the street and randomly found an open space where no one sat and sat down. Nelson, though worried about Catherine, was equally reluctant to say anything, so he could only watch Catherine leave and walk around the square by herself.

Leo, who had sat down, looked up slightly at the statue of Aconaya, and saw that the face of this statue was so handsome that it was difficult to distinguish between men and women, and it was draped in a very old robe, holding a heart in his left hand and an eye in his right hand, and there was a little more pity and love in his majestic demeanor.

In terms of the statue alone, this statue is definitely at the level of a top master, even in the Earth Federation, there are only a handful of people who have this level of sculpture.

But the problem is that this statue is clearly completely different from the god of a thousand eyes and a thousand hearts advertised by the church of Aconaya. Not only have the churches here, personified the god they believe in exactly as the believers want, but it seems that the real object of the current Akanaya Church's top brass is not this god with a thousand eyes and a thousand hearts.

Leo's bold speculation is based on the fact that the coat of arms symbol representing Aknaya that he found on this sculpture is completely different from the religious symbols that are scattered throughout the diocese.

The difference in the shape of the symbols is only a superficial problem, and the real difference comes from the roots of the symbols of the two religions.

Although the god of a thousand eyes and a thousand hearts, Aknaya, sounded like some kind of evil god, but being able to be inspected and verified by the Holy See was enough to prove that the god of a thousand eyes and a thousand hearts was not evil, so Leo felt a gentle aura on the Aknaya emblem symbol under the statue. It's just that this gentle breath is like a rootless duckweed, facing the surrounding negative energy force field, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, and it can't play any role at all, and it can only provide psychological comfort.

As for the other kind of religious symbols that are painted all over the diocese, the power it generates is full of confusion and negativity, so that people with intuitive and sensitive feelings like Jason can easily feel the negative energy in it, which shows that if these religious symbols really represent a god, then this god is definitely an evil god.

In the name of the righteous god, doing the evil god's thing, from this point of view alone, this secret is enough to bring destruction to the entire cage city.

After discovering this secret that was fatal to Leo himself, the sanity of Leo's subbrain system drove him to give up his curiosity and leave here immediately, leaving nothing alone, he had already obtained the king, queen and twin four psionic weapons, this trip can be said to be a huge gain, there is no need to risk it again. For whether it was about the secrets inside the Church of Aknaya, or about the knowledge of those evil religious symbols, the more he knew, the more dangerous it became.

But at the same time, the ordinary emotions that he was gradually getting used to were constantly reminding him to keep his promises, and he was also extremely excited and excited because he could explore the knowledge and mysteries of the mysterious side of this world, which generated a strong desire to continue exploring.

"Okay! I was calm and rational enough in my previous life, so let's change my life in this life!" Leo struggled inwardly for a moment before finally making his choice.

And at the moment when he made his choice, the repulsion that had always existed in his body suddenly disappeared, and his spirit and body became a little different, this feeling was very strange, to use a vulgar phrase, it was like the difference between wearing a condom and not wearing a condom.

"Okay! Completely fused! The personal qualities of this body at this stage should be able to be fully displayed!"

Leo, who felt the change in his body, was overjoyed, and although he didn't understand why the change occurred, he also knew that it was a good thing.

So, he immediately checked his personal data and found that his strength attribute had increased a little, to four, his agility had also increased by one point five, and he had also reached four points, and his physique had increased by zero point five to six points.

The improvement of these three physical attributes is reasonable, but what is really unreasonable is the improvement of spiritual attributes, which has directly increased by ten points, reaching twenty points, and more importantly, the spiritual network skill module has been created, which means that he no longer needs to open the spiritual network, and first turn on the spiritual vision skill, and can directly open the spiritual network.

After discovering that his personal attributes had changed, Leo couldn't wait to start trying to adapt to the changes in his body.

Among them, the changes in strength and physique are the best to adapt, after all, there are not many changes, and you can quickly adapt to it by doing a few squats and push-ups.

The Agility aspect is a bit more troublesome because there are so many things that are included in the Agility side, such as movement, movement, and even physical flexibility. And this unexpected promotion, even if it is only one point five, but it spans two regular levels, the improvement is not small, it takes a certain amount of space and practice to fully adapt, and now he can only do some simple exercises to improve his physical fitness without causing trouble.

For example, he now took out some scattered bia, threw it directly into the air, and then quickly retracted and grabbed all the coins in his hands with both hands. When you become proficient, you will increase the number of coins to a hundred, and you can assign a number to each hand to grab, or grab all the coins with one hand. With this small method, he was able to quickly adapt to the discomfort caused by the increased agility of his hands, while Jason on the side was stunned by his juggling skills and could not speak for a long time.
