Chapter 103: Believers in Cirilla
The Witcher comes to an end, and the old father finally finds his daughter, but then he has to face the threat of demons, who travel across the world in a ship built from the fingernails of the dead. In the next scene, the old father has to seek the help of his friends to fight the demon together.
The entire theater burst into thunderous applause and cheers, and it was Speaker Sophia who took the lead.
Qi Xuansu was also applauding, not perfunctory, but acknowledging: "Josiah, I must admit that this Miss Eyre's acting skills are indeed the best of all the actresses I have ever seen."
This is not nonsense, anyway, Qi Xuansu has never seen a few actresses.
But it was just a compliment, Qi Xuansu's eyes were still looking at Speaker Sophia, and he had a feeling that this woman didn't seem to be just watching the performance, but also a little cheering.
Is there a connection between these two women?
Or, no matter how superb Audrey's acting skills are, if she wants to become famous, she must have the support of powerful people behind her, so will Sophia be the supporter behind Audrey? He didn't even hesitate to give her a platform in person.
Qi Xuansu felt that there was still such a possibility.
If this speculation is true, then what is Sophia's intention in cultivating an actress? Wooing men? Some men don't like her kind of sex, so they like little girls, so she cultivates a little girl, or the speaker has a high status, and he is not willing to do it himself, so he wants to find a replacement, which is too path-dependent. But it's not surprising that Orientals also like to do this kind of thing, such as Li Qingnu, which didn't come in handy, which doesn't mean that the nature is any different.
All the similarities can be attributed to human nature.
At this moment, the curtain fell again, and the actors, who had already changed their costumes, took the stage again to greet the audience. Standing in the middle is naturally Audrey in an evening dress, and she is dressed as a witcher, which is completely different styles.
Speaker Sophia was invited to speak on stage, and she was very close to Audrey as if she were sisters.
Women are born actors, and female politicians are the best of them.
Qi Xuansu had already gotten up and left.
Strawney didn't care, the city council was divided into two camps, Leopold, Bill and others were Tory, Straoney was also a Tory member, and Speaker Sophia was a Whig member.
The two sides are not on the same camp, and there is no need for Straoney to come forward specifically to praise the stinky feet of the speaker.
Out of the theater gate, Qi Xuansu said to Strawney, "Josiah, you go back first. I want to walk around on my own."
Strawney nodded, didn't say anything more, and got into the carriage directly.
Qi Xuansu walked alone on the white avenue of Zhongcheng District, the streets were lined with street lamps that emitted dim yellow light, and the high-rise buildings around him were brightly lit, making this place feel like a city that never sleeps.
Of course, Qi Xuansu didn't come to see the night scene, he turned into a dark alley and waited quietly.
After about half an hour, some lines appeared out of thin air in front of Qi Xuansu, gradually outlined into a humanoid outline, which seemed to be a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, and then the lines were intertwined, highlighting the three-dimensional sense, and finally filling in the color and turning into a real living person.
It was a woman in a cloak and a one-piece hood.
Qi Xuansu was not surprised by this woman's identity, but he was a little surprised by this woman's methods.
"Miss Al?" Qi Xuansu asked.
"Mr. van der Linde, you have surprised me." The woman pulled her hood back, revealing her true face, it was Audrey Eyre, who had just played the witcher's daughter on the stage, and at this time it was a different style, a little more mysterious.
Qi Xuansu's previous feeling was not an illusion, this Miss Audrey did look at him, and she didn't look at him inadvertently, she was targeted, so Qi Xuansu opened Strawney and waited here for Audrey to come to the door.
Qi Xuansu looked at her, "Are you a projection now?"
"Yes." Audrey did not deny it, "My body is still being interviewed by reporters in the theater, and I have to deal with those dignitaries, I can only use it
Meet Mr. Van der Linde in the form of a projection."
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly: "Projection is the ability of the gods, I'm curious, how did you do it?"
Audrey smiled slyly, "Because I can borrow the power of the gods."
"Divine Favorite?" Qi Xuansu was a little surprised.
This is the saying of Westerners, in fact, the truth is the same, Qi Xuansu can also be regarded as the god of Ziguang Zhenjun, and he can directly find Ziguang Zhenjun to calculate hexagrams, which is also borrowed from the ability of immortals.
"Almost." Audrey's answer was a little vague.
Qi Xuansu didn't care, and instead asked, "Miss Audrey is looking for me, why is it important?"
Audrey didn't answer directly, "Ducky van der Linde, it shouldn't be your real identity."
Qi Xuansu didn't deny it, "How did you find me?"
Audrey did not avoid Qi Xuansu's question this time, and a page appeared in her hand.
This page is made of human skin.
Qi Xuansu's gaze swept over the characters on the page, in fact, Qi Xuansu didn't know these strange characters, let alone what they represented, but these characters seemed to have the power to transcend the boundaries of cognition, just like the "other mind" of Buddhism, which directly hit the reader's heart.
In an instant, Qi Xuansu clearly felt that a wave of pride, arrogance, and arrogance began to grow rapidly.
It's all too familiar.
It was with this kind of page that Qi Xuansu defeated all kinds of powerful enemies in Borneo.
"This is the page of the Hyri Sutra." Qi Xuansu's face was slightly solemn, "Are you a believer in Cirela?"
Just as the Daomen wants to prevent the secret association from rebellion, although the Holy See is dominant in the Western world, it does not mean that the Holy See has no opponents, there is a special association similar to the Zhiming Sect and the Lingshan Witch Sect in the Western Continent, called the "Fallen Apostles", legend has it that some of the Apostles disobeyed the rule of Queen Pallas and raised the anti-flag, but these Apostles were quickly suppressed. According to the Holy See, these rebellious apostles were all cast down to hell, but they did not die, and this is the origin of the "fallen apostles."
Among the many fallen apostles was the Apostle of Killing and Conspiracy named Hirella, who was said to have appeared almost at the same time as the Supreme Will, and after the Supreme Will left the world, he began to try to conquer the other gods. The "Shri Sutra" is his belongings.
Although the "Shri Sutra" is now in the hands of the Earth Master, since Cirilla can make the first "Sira Sutra", then she can make a second "Sirish Sutra", even if there is no second "Sirish Sutra", it is not difficult to make some separate pages.
Audrey said, "Monsieur van der Linde, you have in you the residual power of the Ciri Sutra, and it is with this power that I found you at a glance in the crowd of the theater, and I have people check the identity of the ticket buyer and know your name."
Qi Xuansu said, "I thought it was attracting Cirera's attention."
Audrey smiled, "Hell is a cage, and so is the Abyss."
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the East that there are three worlds of heaven, earth and man. If the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth and Man are the real world, then the world that depends on the real world and exists is the secondary world.
The Heavenly Realm is the place where you go after the ascension, also known as the boundless mystical realm. No one knows how this realm is, mortals enter it, and the immortals can open up the world here, such as the Elysium opened up by the immeasurable light, the heavenly court opened up by the Emperor of Heaven, the thirty-three heavens opened up by the Dao Ancestor, and the heaven opened up by the supreme will. These worlds depend on the celestial realm for their existence, that is, the secondary worlds.
The human world is the human world, and all kinds of caves can also be regarded as secondary worlds.
Further down is the Realm of the Earth, known in the East as the Netherworld, which is in a sense the place where the dead go, and the Hell and the Abyss are the sub-worlds that open up to this realm.
The apostles who were sent to hell want to come back to the world, although the difficulty is less than returning to the world from the heavenly realm, but it is higher than descending from the kingdom of God on earth.
If these Apostles of Hell want to break through the boundaries of the two real worlds and return to the human world, they need a container that is strong enough, and a suitable one
Opportunity, that is, the corresponding ritual and traction. In other words, there must be an inner ghost to open the door, otherwise you won't be able to enter.
Unlike the immortals in the world who have a variety of choices, the immortals do not have containers, or the containers are not strong enough, they can all come, or even projection, it is just a matter of how much strength they have.
The Apostles of Hell have no choice, they have to be a perfect vessel for the requirements, so their favorite thing to do is to tempt, corrupt, and deceive some powerful beings who have not yet ascended to God, and set traps so that these powerful beings become their vessels on earth.
Because the East is the territory of the Daomen, it is almost impossible to see these Hell Apostles making trouble, but in the West, this is a real problem.
Qi Xuansu was very vigilant, he didn't want to become a container for this kind of hell apostle.
Of course, vigilance is vigilance, not fear.
Because the Apostles of Hell cannot interfere with the real world of the human world with all their strength, as long as they do not move their thoughts, they are separated by a world, and some of the power they have infiltrated cannot do anything to the pseudo-immortals. I am afraid that because of greed, hatred, obsession and other factors, I will take the initiative to cooperate with the apostles of hell. So, the Apostles of Hell are a bit like liars, not robbers, who will not use violence to snatch money directly from you, but will take advantage of human weakness to make you take the initiative to give money.
Qi Xuansu asked for the second time, "Miss El, what exactly do you want to do?" They don't come to me to talk about the performing arts."
Audrey took a deep breath and seemed to make a heavy decision: "I do have some connection to the legendary Cyrilla, but I am not a believer in Him, and I want to get rid of Him."
Qi Xuansu asked, "Why me? As you say, I also have the residual power of the Shri Sutra in me."
Audrey raised her head and looked directly at Qi Xuansu, "Hirella has created a book that converts any believer of other gods who hear or sees it into a zealous believer in Hirella. You have the residual power of the Shri Sutra, and you are not influenced by Hirella, you have not become a follower of Hirilla, so I think you can definitely help me."
