Song Lan has never been to church, has never done worship, and all her knowledge about the church and theology is limited to movies and television, but the way and process of confession are mentioned in it.

Among them, he was most exposed to the counseling slice of a certain cyber nun.

In a small dark room, begging for God's forgiveness by telling the clergy about the deepest sins of her heart through the baffle, Song Lan realizes that she is often not perverted enough to seem out of place with the confessors.

He came to the location provided by Lu Xiang with great anticipation.

123 Julu Street, North District, Log Church.

He decided to explore the difference between the clergy in 2166 and 2020.

Indeed, as Lu Xiang said, this church has been abandoned for a long time, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and the whole church gives people a gloomy feeling from a distance.

But in fact, before the monks of the third country entered the church, it was a large place for the homeless to make friends, and Lu Xiang said that most of the terrifying strange stories were made up by the homeless people, on the one hand, they had nothing to do, and on the other hand, they did not want anyone to occupy their living place.

And after the Eclipse Sect moved in, all the idlers and others were driven out.

"Hello, I heard this is the Eclipse Sect."

Coming to the door of the church, Song Lan took the initiative to talk to the disciples at the door, "I saw the advertisement you posted, to be honest, my recent days have been terrible, yesterday because of work, I didn't close my eyes all night, this day is really unbearable." ”

"Please follow me."

Believers dressed in off-white nun robes greeted Song Lan.

After they advertised, the church welcomed a steady stream of visitors, but the reasons for their arrival were almost always carved out of a mold, which can be summed up in terms of "life is not satisfactory".

But come to think of it.

In a place like the 17th district, how many people can live a happy life?

"Father Bruno will guide you through the maze."

At the very least, the nuns of the Eclipse Sect treated them well, and she guided Song Lan to the waiting area.

There were more people who came to pray than Song Lan expected, and there were benches lined up in the waiting area, and there were several people before him, and when they arrived at the waiting area, someone happened to come out of what resembled a confessional room.

However, the Eclipse Cult calls this small soundproof room the "Astrological Room".

The expression on the face of the person who came out was in stark contrast to the people waiting, and his eyes were bright, as if he had unloaded all his burdens and was ready for his new life.

This person is a member of a certain gang.

As a law enforcer, Song Lan recognized the gang tattoo on the other party's neck at a glance, and he also had a pistol pinned to his waist.

"He's here to collect protection money."

The middle-aged man beside Song Lan who looked very sloppy whispered, "He wasn't like this when he came in. ”

He witnessed the gang pulling out their guns and breaking into the stars, and when he entered, he shouted for the clergy in the church to hand over all the money, and looked like he was kowtowing to the illegal drugs.

No one knows what Father Bruno said to him in the astral chamber to make a grumpy gangster what he is.

Song Lan responded, "This shows that the church does have two brushes. ”

"I think you're so young, how did you think to come here?"

The scruffy middle-aged man took advantage of the conversation to continue.

"Work doesn't go well."

Song Lan did not change her face and moved out the reason that 99% of the ordinary citizens in the 17th district would come up with, "What about you? ”

"The job is gone, and my wife has run away with someone."

The man's tone was mixed with a sense of powerlessness and exhaustion in life, "I heard that there is some help here, so let's try my luck." ”

……

In the next quarter of an hour, Song Lan witnessed the whole process of the Lunar Eclipse Sect changing a person.

The sloppy middle-aged man who had accosted him had been in for less than five minutes, and he didn't know what Father Bruno was talking to the other party inside, but when he came out, his whole body was completely new, and he even gave him a thumbs up as he passed by.

In less than five minutes, it can rekindle the passion of a middle-aged man who has lost hope in life, this Father Bruno......

It must have mastered the ultimate meaning of mouth escape.

He also tried to comfort the middle-aged man when he talked to him, but it didn't make any positive difference.

In line with the idea of learning and communicating with each other, Song Lan walked into the starry room under the greeting of the clergy, and the small black room in his inherent impression was different, the dark blue halo lit up the room, and the room was surrounded by holographic image technology to build a starry sky, making people feel as if they were among the stars.

Are they enlightening those people through esoteric topics like "the end of the universe"?

Just as Song Lan came up with such a thought, some kind of thought that did not belong to him broke into his brain.

"Open your heart to the moon god and the stars."

The whisper in his head said.

The thought that popped up was similar to the last time he tried to communicate with the Devourer, but much more singular, like some kind of pre-set instruction that kept repeating in your mind until you followed its will.

Song Lan suddenly understood why the people who had entered this room before suddenly became enlightened after leaving.

This is not a verbal retreat at all, but a rewriting of the mind from the mother's will.

Medell said that in the absence of α blockers, ordinary people were simply not enough to resist the will of the mother, and pointed out that he was an outlier who could communicate with the Devourer without the need for a blocker.

In Yungang Biopharma's records, even those who are proficient in the interfering psychic ability of mind rewriting cannot resist the invasion of the mother's consciousness.

Thinking of this, Song Lan was disappointed.

He expected this to be a workshop to learn the skills of mouth escape, but he didn't expect the other party to take such a direct and rude approach.

This is tantamount to a forced integration of citizens.

"I knew you'd come."

From the other end of the curtain came the voice of Father Bruno, "Instead of looking for you, let you come to the door." ”

This is clearly not the language spoken by ordinary prayer seekers.

They believed that the people who learned about the influence of the Eclipse Cult on ordinary citizens and were able to avoid the influence of the mother's mind were the real targets they were looking for.

They seemed to have realized that the mother's thinking had not taken effect, so they deduced Song Lan's identity and the purpose of the trip, "So, where do we start?" ”

"Let's start with the fact that you stole our things from our territory...... New Moon, where is it now? ”
