Chapter 388: The Origin of the Doomsday Church
After entering the church, the style in it is also very dark, it can be said to be quite dark.
It was deserted inside, and there was not a single believer.
Qi Jiang and Su Le walked at the back, and Chen Han accompanied them.
"Why is there no one here?" Su Le looked around curiously.
"Since what happened last night, we have asked all the believers to go back to rest first, and there are only some necessary cleaning staff left in the whole church." Chen Han said.
Su Le nodded and began to observe his surroundings.
Such an opportunity is rare, and not everyone has the opportunity to enter this church.
The whole shade of the church is one word: black!
It can't be said that you can't see your fingers, but it's very dark, and there are only a few kerosene lamps hanging on the road, and I don't know where they got the kerosene lamps from this era.
The visibility is very low, like a medieval European church, but much darker than that.
The murals on the walls of the hallway are also very dark, with screaming monsters, twisted women, crazy men, and scenes of destruction.
Su Le really didn't know what the purpose of such a church was, to exist for the end of the world?
What he couldn't understand was that there were so many believers.
He didn't believe that so many people were evil, but judging from this mural, at least this church was quite evil, couldn't those believers see it?
"Can you appreciate it?" Su Le asked Qi-chan beside him.
"Appreciating this thing is linked to your values, if you think it's not good, you can't appreciate it, but I don't have any values, it's actually not bad from a purely aesthetic point of view, at least the painting is very good." Qichan said indifferently: "And don't ask me these questions, I've seen too many things, these are all trivialities to me, and my evaluation has no reference value." ”
A very stinky fart, but Su Le was speechless.
They walked through a wide church with two janitorial staff sitting on chairs praying.
And at the statue at the front of the church, a huge statue of a god wearing a black robe who couldn't see his face clearly sat there, Su Le just glanced at it lightly, and then followed a few sacrifices and walked inside.
After passing through a deep hallway, they came to the deepest part of the church.
It's a small church, much smaller than the outside.
It's only five or six hundred square meters in size.
"It's a place dedicated to the prayers of the clergy and the skinny." Chen Han explained to Su Le.
Su Le looked around, the atmosphere here was indeed very strong, there were seven or eight statues of gods in this room alone, although the size of each one was not as large as the one in the cathedral outside, but the posture of each statue was different, without exception, they were all dressed in black robes.
But the difference is that the black robe of the god on the outside is carved, that is, he is a whole.
And the seven statues inside, the black robe of each one is actually draped in black robes, not carved out!
"This is the place where we pray, and I can show you whatever you want to see." The second priest said, and all the sacrifices came to this place and subconsciously sat down and began to pray, only the second sacrifice was talking to Su Le.
"Can you lift the clothes off these idols and let us see?" Seven sauces.
The second priest hesitated, but nodded.
He walked over to the first idol and lifted his clothes.
It was a pale man, very pale, and I don't know if it was because of the stone carving or because he was carved so pale.
He walked over to the second idol and lifted his robe again.
It was still a pale person, not the same person as the idol just now, but the same pale face.
It's just that the posture is different.
The two priests lifted all the clothes from the idols in turn, exposing them to their eyes.
"Please take a look." Two sacrificial roads.
Qichan observed one by one, and Su Le frowned on the side.
This, how this thing is not quite what I thought.
"What are these seven people?" Nana-chan asked after reading it next to him.
"These are the seven bishops under the throne of the main god, and of course all of them are now dead." Two sacrificial roads.
Qi-chan crossed his arms and nodded, "I see." ”
"Second sacrifice!"
Su Le suddenly said, "I remember that the history of your Doomsday Church is not yet a hundred years, right?" ”
Su Le saw from the book that the history of the Doomsday Church was only more than eighty years, that is, it only appeared after the catastrophe, and it was indeed remarkable that it could develop like this in just a few decades and less than a hundred years.
"Yes."
"Can you tell me who you are, the founder of the Church of Doom?" Su Le continued to ask, "And your doomsday god Alpelius, that little girl said just now, can he let me see it?" ”
The second priest nodded, found a place beside him and sat down, and said:
"It's actually complicated to say about the church of the end times."
"It's okay, we have time today, we can talk slowly." Su Le also found a place to sit down and said.
"In the first year of the cataclysm, I was only seven years old."
The gaze of the second priest gradually became ethereal, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory state.
"At that time, I was still very young, and there was no decent city in the world to resist xenos, everyone was hiding, and the result of being discovered by xenos could only be eaten, there was no way to resist."
"There were no walls, no army, no crackers, and we unarmed civilians had no power to resist in the face of xenos, and my parents died in the mouths of xenos to save me."
"Once when I was about to be eaten, a man in a black robe saved me, he was the high priest of our Yangcheng church, he was only fifteen years old at the time, but he seemed to have a very strange power, this power can make the xenos fear him."
"Afraid?"
Su Le frowned and pondered his words.
"Yes, although this power was later proven to be ineffective against high-level xenomorphs, it was very useful for those low-level xenomorphs at the time."
"At that time, I thought that his savior sent down from heaven, he told me that he was a preacher of the Doomsday Church to save us, and his power was also given to him by the previous preacher, and asked me if I would like to join him, if I join him, I can save more people."
"You shouldn't have hesitated to agree, right?" Nanachi-chan guessed.
"That's right, I was like a frightened bird at that time, I would do anything that could save my life, not to mention that with that kind of power, I would no longer be afraid of xenos, so I agreed without hesitation, and then we started to save one person after another, absorbing them into the Church of Doom, and in this way we had thousands of believers."
"And what about later? What about this force? Su Le asked.
"It's long gone, after the human race built the city, the power in us disappeared, and the bishops at that time were not dead, telling us that this is because God feels that we have the ability to protect ourselves, so we no longer provide us with protection, everything is on our own."
"Later, I asked the high priest who founded the church, and he said that it was the archbishop who was the preacher at the beginning, and it was he who absorbed the other six bishops, but in fact, no one except the six bishops had ever seen what the archbishop looked like, and it was only later that we sorted out the appearance of the archbishop according to the self-portrait and some information left by the archbishop."
