Chapter 31: The First Glimpse of Darkness (2)
Da-da-da-da-da-
Only the sound of footsteps echoed in a certain corridor of the church, and the lights around it were so bright that it seemed that there was no darkness here, and Father Louis led the way, and the more and more remote he went, gradually moving away from the crowd, and even at last the White Knight was nowhere to be seen.
"Where are you taking me? Father Louis. β
There is no end to going on like this, Jiang Chenchuan couldn't help but ask out loud.
The priest stopped.
"You're not a believer in the Goddess of Dawn."
The priest spoke suddenly.
The inexplicable question made Jiang Chenchuan a little confused.
"And what if I am?"
"Please memorize the Book of Dawn, chapter 8, verse 16."
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Chenchuan just wanted to cover his face and surrender.
It seems that faith alone cannot be disguised.
"It doesn't matter what your purpose is, for whatever reason you're here, you go, go from here, I don't want to hurt people who have nothing to do with the Church of the Dawn."
Father Louis turned around, as if to observe Jiang Chenchuan.
This gave Jiang Chenchuan a strange feeling, the holy white robe was no longer holy, but the holy soul was still holy.
"Father, what do you mean by that...... What do you mean? β
Jiang Chenchuan was full of vigilance, he sensed the danger, but he didn't know where the "danger" came from.
"Be ready for darkness to come, be ready for the dawn to redeem."
Father Louis said the words of God, and walked all the way down the corridor, the wide robe did not seem so fitting, obviously everything was so normal, but the terrifying cold climbed up Jiang Chenchuan's spine.
He didn't know what he was afraid of, maybe he knew what was going to happen but he didn't know anything.
Something is going to happen......
Just tonight,
Inside this church.
Jiang Chenchuan clenched the skeletal cane in his hand, looked at the back of the priest who was getting farther and farther away, and thought that the other party seemed to want to spare his life, but he didn't appreciate it.
Gotta go back!
"You can't save them."
Father Louis stayed at the end of the corridor, looked at Jiang Chenchuan's turned back, and spoke.
"I can see that you are different from their group, your eyes are pure, you don't have that kind of obsessive desire and worship, please, I don't want to be a complete bad person."
Hearing Father Louis's words, Jiang Chenchuan was stunned when he wanted to leave, he turned his head and looked at the priest with a puzzled face.
The cold moonlight appeared at some point, emerged from the clouds, and sprinkled on the pure white robes, and Father Louis lifted his hood to reveal his face.
It was an unimaginable face.
It's hideous and terrifying, there is no normal person anymore, most of them are in the dark, I don't know what organ it is, it is still squirming in the dark, trying to break free, and there is a faint purple aura of power.
"Sequence 8, Crime ......"
Jiang Chenchuan recognized at a glance the sequence of power contained in Father Louis's body in front of him, of course, this was also related to his professional intuition in his previous life.
"When did you ......"
Jiang Chenchuan wanted to ask how the clergy in the church had come into contact with such a dangerous sequence of relics and been eroded to such an extent.
"Sure enough, you don't know anything, naΓ―ve believers will always believe in faith, unless one day, the blade of faith will stab you in the body!"
Father Louis twisted and roared, with anger and hatred, and at this moment, Jiang Chenchuan heard a commotion coming from the direction of the cathedral, as if something had rushed into the church, and several terrible screams were heard.
"Look, I saved your life."
Father Louis said "thank me."
"You're not Father Louis! Who are you? β
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly understood something, this was a premeditated crime, taking advantage of the important time of the secret gathering, it was to destroy something.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what I'm going to do, what you're going to do, or, to find out what the Church of Dawn is doing!"
"Church of the Dawn...... Done...... What? β
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly thought that the reason why the other party let him go was because he saw that he was not a believer in Alona.
What an irony.
"I gave you a chance, you gave it up yourself, if you can survive, maybe you can investigate the truth yourself."
Father Louis put his hood back on, casting his terrible face in shadow again, and he seemed to know what was going to happen next, and did not want to linger too long, so he hurried away.
This time the situation was not within Jiang Chenchuan's control, and there were two clear choices in front of him, go back to save people or follow the priest to escape.
In fact, according to Jiang Chenchuan's character, he would not choose at all, and he had no choice.
β¦β¦
The pure world turned into a human purgatory in an instant, and the deformed monsters that appeared out of nowhere took over the Cathedral of the Dawn, they broke through the doors and windows, and the delicate stained glass was scattered all over the ground, and the weak and poor human beings had never seen this, and the atmosphere of screaming and fear spread, and in the roar of the monsters, they were torn in half by their claws.
Blood splattered the pure white sculptures, adding a different color, and the Knights of the Dawn reacted fairly quickly, quickly gathering the knights for battle, but the sudden surprise attack still caused huge losses and disasters.
Ethan hid in a confessional just in time, crouched with his back to the iron door, and tried his best to hide his breath.
He originally wanted to follow the Knights, but when he started fighting, he found that the situation of the white knights was even more dangerous than him, and it was better to find a windowless room to hide and save his life.
He didn't know how this group of monsters was born, it was so outrageous that it was beyond his imagination, and countless monsters were rampaging through the church, letting out a terrible howl.
"No, I need to get out of here."
Ethan muttered to himself.
At this time, the patrol airship in the sky should still be operating, as long as they can find out, the Knights of the Pure Temple will immediately rush to support, after all, there are not a few nobles who came to the party tonight.
Thinking of this, Ethan took a deep breath, he tried to calm himself down, reasoned to suppress his fear, slowed his breathing, and gently opened the iron door, trying not to make a sound.
Most of the energy lamps were destroyed by the monsters, and it was dark outside the room, and the path to departure could only be vaguely discerned by the moonlight.
Ethan walked through the shadows, thanks to the monsters' low eyesight and IQ, which allowed him to get away with two crises.
If you want to notify the patrol airship, you must climb the church spire, which is like a lighthouse in a rainstorm, with an independent energy supply line that can send a distress signal to the patrol airship.
Gotta find a way to get there!
After a short break, Ethan began to move, and he made his way up the stairs as he continued to breathe and gasp for breath that was not human.
