Chapter 290: Do You Believe in the Universe?
Song Lan didn't expect that his confession or prayer would turn into an interrogation as soon as he came up, and this room reminded him of the interrogation room in the department, he was a prisoner who was caught in the bureau, and Bruno, who was sitting opposite, was the interrogator.
The case started from a theft that occurred in a small town in a third country.
Although the suspect argued that it was just an ordinary industry competition during the interrogation, Xinyue, as a freelance worker who had not signed a labor contract with a third country, had the right to decide the direction of his future work.
During this period, he also made it clear that the overlord clause of the Eclipse Sect aroused the rebellion of the new moon.
So it's a legitimate and legitimate business competition, and they're protected by the coalition government.
However, the stubborn inquisitors did not intend to listen to any of his explanations, and without any evidence, characterized the case as theft, convinced that even after Crescent Moon clearly expressed disgust, it still belonged to the Eclipse Cult and the property of a third country, and convicted Song Lan of the crime.
"Behold, this is the evil of the prejudiced man who has the power to judge."
The interrogation lasted nearly a quarter of an hour, far more than any previous prayer seeker.
Song Lan, who was forcibly convicted, could only helplessly express her dissatisfaction.
The purpose of the Eclipse Cult's trip was very clear, in addition to bringing the crescent back to a third country, they also demanded details of their destruction of the canopy, and if necessary, to bring him back to the Eclipse Cult for the final verdict, because in their teachings, the canopy was equivalent to the executor of the will of the moon god, and the sin of destroying the canopy was extremely serious.
"Next, you have to tell us the details of your destruction of the canopy, and the reasons for your refusal to be guided by the moon god."
Song Lan felt that Father Bruno seemed to have completely substituted himself as a judge and enforcer, treating him like a judge chanting "leniency in confession, strict in resistance".
Perhaps the priesthood had accustomed him to this way of speaking.
"What if I refuse?"
"There's no room for refusal."
Father Bruno accentuated.
The next moment, the environment around Song Lan changed, the walls, chairs, and baffles all disappeared without a trace, and those floating holographic projections seemed to really take him to the universe, and he was floating between the universes in a strange way.
After talking to the other party for more than 20 minutes, Song Lan saw Father Bruno for the first time.
The hooked nose, cracked lips, and the eyes of the yin owl made him look not approachable at all, and he was wearing a black robe, standing less than a few meters in front of Song Lan.
Bruno is more of a law enforcement officer in the church than a gentle priest.
However, if the Eclipse Sect came all the way from a third country to them, it must not have come with the idea of peaceful communication.
Illusion space.
It's just that unlike the last rundown town full of twisted figures, this time the hallucinatory space has become the depths of the universe.
In fact, when the third country town fought with Tianmu, Song Lan sensed that something was not right, because as a psychic person, that big eye was too stupid, which was not only reflected in its development and use of its own abilities, but also because the new moon refused to hatch it, so it waited in the town for nearly a month.
And it didn't take action against Dr. Oleg's team, judging from the situation on the night of the crescent moon hatching, as long as it wanted to, the shelter of Dr. Oleg and the others was not enough to resist the invasion of hallucinations.
Compared to psionics and devourers, Song Lan felt that it was more like some kind of pre-programmed program.
Bruno's interrogation just now invisibly answered the doubts in Song Lan's heart, and the word he used several times was "destruction" instead of "killing", which showed that in the eyes of the Eclipse cultists, the canopy belonged to a tool used to carry out large-scale mind control, and the manipulation of illusions was the function given to it by the moon god.
With the same ability to manipulate illusions, Bruno's deep into the universe looks much more stylish than the canopy.
Song Lan tried to control her body and took a step forward.
The step succeeded, but the distance between him and Bruno did not shorten, and in an environment that was so different from Earth, he was no different from the Earth.
Father Bruno observed Song Lan's actions and said in a cold tone, "Depending on the extent of your sin, the moon god will deprive you of the right to live in turn, until you completely open your heart to the moon god, first of all, hearing. ”
In an instant, the world fell silent, and there was no longer a single murmur.
Bruno's words, on the other hand, seemed to have transcended the rules of physics and appeared directly in his mind, "Confess your sins to the moon god, and only then can your soul be baptized." ”
The feeling of deafness didn't last long.
When Song Lan tried to gather the spiritual energy to her ears, the lost hearing returned.
It dawned on him.
Although the scene was made by Father Bruno as if it were a judgment from the center of the universe, it all came back to the strength of the psionic energy, at least Father Bruno's psionic strength was not enough to penetrate his defenses.
Judging from the other party's three sentences of "Moon God", he may not be the real holder of this ability, but it was the Moon God or someone else who gave him this ability to judge those who opposed it instead of the church.
And for those who can't resist the illusion, Father Bruno is the equivalent of a god.
In this trial, he can easily manipulate the boundaries of time and space, and he can also make judgments on the judgment of life and death for the judged.
This couldn't help but make Song Lan curious, how far has the true holder of this ability been tempered?
"Father, I confess my guilt."
Song Lan's reaction made Bruno stunned, so far, he has tried countless sinners who oppose the Eclipse Sect, many of them are stubborn and hard-boned, and some of them are still unwilling to open their hearts to the moon god even after being deprived of their breath, when the physical whipping cannot change the will of the judged, he can only completely erase the imprint of the other party's existence from the soul with compassion and regret.
Bruno thought that Song Lan would also be a rather difficult hard bone, but he didn't expect that the other party would choose to compromise just by losing his hearing.
But it's good news.
The Church is very interested in the peculiarity of the new moon, and the fact that she was brought back to the third country was the instruction of the moon god himself, and as for the person who broke the canopy, it was insignificant compared to the new moon.
"One last time, I'll ask you where the crescent moon is now."
"In a safe place, we provided her with a warm place to live, friendly colleagues, and an artificial intelligence that could chat with her 24 hours a day, and she is living well now, and you can rest assured that she will live in the 17th arrondissement."
Song Lan's answer made Bruno frown, it was not the answer he wanted to hear.
"Hopeless......"
"If I were you, I would seek to solve the problem with the law."
Song Lan's tone was sincere, in fact, he gave the other party a way to solve the problem peacefully from the beginning.
Let those citizens return to normal, give up tracking the crescent, and withdraw from the seventeenth arrondissement, so that everyone can have a brighter future.
Sadly, the authoritarian Father Bruno rejected his advice and convicted him of a crime, turning the competition into a criminal offense.
"A little question for law enforcers – what is the first reaction of a criminal when his crime is revealed?"
"What are you talking about......"
"It's an extermination."
Father Bruno's pupils shrank, just now, there was a brief blank in his consciousness, and when this blank disappeared, there was no Song Lan in front of him.
The last words came from behind him, close at hand.
- "This is probably how the canopy of heaven that you have in mind was destroyed. ”
