Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Church
Legend has it that a team of hunters once went to a place where it was dark, where grass could not grow, where life was extinct, where there was no hope .......
There are five people in the squad, and the five of them have been through countless battles together and are best friends, but there, friends become strangers and the will to survive takes over all the ...... of thought.
Who was the first to be unbearable in the darkness? Was it the weakest man in the ranks? No, no, he was the strongest! He waved his weapon and rushed wildly into the darkness, and then, ...... no more.
No one stopped him, the indifference replaced the fanaticism, and the scorn of disdain covered the admiration of the past. One qiē has become different, no one has noticed this change, and the remaining four people are still trying to find a direction .......
One day, two days, three days...... , one year, two years, three years .......
Time is meaningless here, and the world seems to stand still here......
The remaining four finally had to take it anymore and erupted at some point in time, and he, like the first, rushed frantically into the darkness without a sound...... sound.
It was an inconsequential person, and the remaining three thought so, and they were glad that they could still hold on, and that they could persist together in this boundless darkness, the treasure at the end of the world, .......
They're treasure hunters, they're the strongest team in the world, and yet they're only three of them now. Only five people together can exert the strongest energy, but everyone forgets about this, and they are separated ...... very lightly.
Endless darkness, endless journey, endless life, yes, they feel that life is endless here, but they can't find a way out, even a glimmer of light ...... it.
The irascible love is spreading, and the remaining three finally can't stand each other's existence. The people around me are so hateful, so untrustworthy. A strange thought appeared in everyone's heart, could it be that the people around them sold their souls to the darkness, leading them into this desperate prison and never returning to their homeland .......
Quarrels and insults can't vent their groundless conjectures, and accusations and pushes can't get out of the mud pond of anger. The three of them also end up going crazy, they can't stand being betrayed by their most trusted friends in the darkest part of the world, and the three of them go their own way, going further and further and further, and finally losing their .......
Five men, the strongest in the world, have lost their last news, and their last news is that they have gone to the end of the world to find the world's most valuable treasure .......
The story is not over, and years later, people get the news of the five great heroes, but they are no longer in their former glory, they have no faith, they have no goodness, they have no thoughts, they have become them, they have gained the power ...... to destroy the world.
Yes, they became demons, lost in the darkness at the end of the world, invaded by darkness, they did not come back to protect the weak, they came back to destroy miè dreams, they came back to ruin miè hope, to destroy the light ...... in the hearts of miè everyone.
Putting down the yellowed sheepskin scroll, the coffee sitting on the stairs on the first floor laughed, she laughed breathlessly, and reluctantly said to Chen Xingchen: "Xingchen, this thing is really funny, do you know such a place? Hahaha, laugh at me." And these brave men, where did they come from?"
Chen Xingchen, who was observing the iron tree in the hall on the first floor, didn't pay attention to the coffee's words at all, and was still in a daze.
The coffee who was left out in the cold didn't care, she continued: "This thing must be the propaganda of the church to teach those gods, hehe, it's really not level, even if it deceives children, it won't succeed." ”
Speaking of the church, Chen Xingchen seemed to have a little reaction, he glanced sideways at the coffee, and then looked at the time, it was about to be time for class. He said lightly, "It's time to go." ”
"Ahh Coffee's eyes rolled widely, and he said mysteriously, "Xingchen, why don't I go find a few demons to play?"
"Not good. Chen Xingchen didn't continue to talk to the coffee, he turned around and walked directly to the door.
Seeing that Chen Xingchen was really leaving, Coffee immediately panicked, hurriedly ran after him, and then took the handsome guy's hand and went to school happily to .......
In fact, this yellowed sheepskin scroll is not just a coffee picked up in front of the door, almost everyone in City A has found this thing at the door, some people throw it directly into the garbage can, some people throw it into the trash after reading it, and some people are convinced of it. Of course, this is a legend after all, and most people don't believe it, especially since it's a propaganda tool that the church does every year.
The city of N in country A is the location of the last church and the last foothold of the church. The entire city of N is the sphere of influence of the church, and the church has absolute control here. However, this is a right that has been acquired at an extremely high economic cost.
The urban area of N City is 10,000 square kilometers and there are no other affiliated areas. The population of N City is about 10 million, and most of them are ordinary people who believe in gods. There is no oppression, no hunger, no darkness here.
St. Peter's Basilica always exudes a warm and soft light that warms everyone who comes to this holy city.
The Church was allowed to have an armed formation of a thousand men, who were known as Templars. These best knights, selected from one level at a time, guard the entire holy city.
Every year, the church publicizes God's deeds and glory. It's just that these are limited to propaganda in the eyes of the majority of the people, after all, the theocratic era has long since ended for countless years. However, not everyone will give up this kind of thing, there are still many people around the world who are willing to believe in faith and believe in God's authority, and they will donate a lot every year to support the expenses of the church. Secondly, the handicrafts of N City are world civilization, and their artistic value and practical value are extremely high. And this is inseparable from the skills taught by the church, so all the citizens of N City will contribute most of their profits to the church. Of course, the annual income of the citizens of City N is almost many times higher than that of the people of any other city.
The current pope is Peter III, the successor of Peter's name, a majestic old man with white hair who has always been committed to reviving the Church and trying to restore the glory of the Church in the theocratic era, and he has always wanted to re-sow the glory of God in the hearts of the world, but the progress has always been slow.
The parchment scrolls distributed by the church this year belong to the explanation of the state of people after being invaded by demon souls in the legendary series, and there is actually some truth, after the demon souls invade the human body, the first thing to do is to erase all the consciousness of the person, and then alienate the human body structure and become a demon. The so-called dark world is the state of human consciousness when it is erased.
The church, as the main force that once fought against demons, still has something practical, but not many people remember it now. This time, the church's propaganda attracted the attention of some people, these people have different positions, but they are all very concerned about the movement of demons, and for a while, the church in N City welcomed many unusual guest .......
