Just as Yi Chen guessed.

The underground channel of the village adjoins the church ritual area and is separated only by a wall.

With the collapse of the church, the seal set up here no longer exists, and the chickens can easily open up the connection between the two sides with their excellent ability to cut through the wall.

Wandering through the winding underground river, you soon came to the mouth of the well, which corresponds to the center of the village.

Not in a hurry to go up, Yi Chen asked the chickens first,

"Little Pei, did you see anyone else during your activities in the Underground River?"

"No giggles!"

After ten minutes of getting along, Xiao Pei still mustered up the courage to stand firmly on Kim's shoulder after confirming that Jin really couldn't tear up chicken.

"Hmm."

It's a little strange, Yi Chen obviously agreed with the girl Laini, and he will come to inform her once the problem is eradicated.

Everyone came all the way to the well, but she was still nowhere to be seen.

"Maybe it's a problem with the chickens, she has never seen so many chickens before, and it's a flock of chickens that can easily smash the wall to open the way, and they didn't show up because they were in danger."

At this moment,

The chickens began to spread their wings and flew out of the well.

Jin was even more exaggerated, and through the explosion of his body between his lower legs, he jumped directly out of a height of nearly ten meters, and jumped directly out of the wellhead from the lower end.

The same problem is in front of him, due to temporary heart problems, it is difficult for Yi Chen, who cannot be released, to reach the height of the wellhead.

At this moment, Jin suddenly poked his head out of the upper wellhead,

"William, how strange! We have clearly killed the source of ashing and eliminated the root cause of the disease among the churches, but the ashing of the village has not decreased, but has become more intense than when we first arrived.

Based on the knowledge learned in Gethsemane, this unnatural gray area should slowly disappear after we clean up the roots, could it be that there are still seriously ill people hiding in the church? ”

"There can't be a remnant, otherwise it will definitely come out and stop us when we deal with the Holy Fetus.

Perhaps it is the "environmental delay", which is also mentioned in the books, and some of the ash breath that is squeezed between the layers will have to wait for hours or even days before slowly disappearing as the root is removed.

Kim, there should be some butchers and scavengers in the village, would you like to try to clean them up and make them into spare dices? In case we encounter an accident on the way back to the city. ”

"Okay, what about you?"

"I'm going to take a walk around the underground river to see if there are any sick people who are hiding that need to be dealt with."

"I'll see you later!"

In order to hide the embarrassment of not being able to go to the well, and considering Kim's crazy nature, Yi Chen decided to go and meet the girl Laini alone.

however

Walking down the familiar cave corridor, the closer he got to Laini's residence, the more solemn Yi Chen's face became.

Because the corridor was filled with black air currents that were not there before, it even felt like the air had become thicker.

Even after getting closer, the water droplets falling from the stalactites turned into black slime, and sticky black water began to flow through the ground.

These black liquids don't stink, but rather smell quite fragrant, like a special juice from freshly produced.

And it carries an attribute that Yi Chen is all too familiar with - "new life".

But this new birth of black liquid is completely different from the flesh-colored new birth of the Holy Fetus Marcos, and even feels better.

The little grape, who was sleeping and resting, also smelled something, and was forced to open his mouth and confide in his eyes, and even instinctively wanted to replace Yi Chen's left arm to deal with the danger in front of him.

"William! Didn't you just kill the Holy Fetus, isn't the incident over?

Is there a deeper secret between the churches, shouldn't it? All of their heritage is obviously used for the production of the Holy Fetus, and the Mother is there.'"

"It's a little different, I'm on my way to Rennie's quarters."

"It's the girl...... Isn't it?' Xiao Grape guessed something, and immediately came out of his shoulder, widening his eyes and observing the situation ahead with Yi Chen.

Not far away is the cave where Reni lives, which is also the source of the black liquid.

Syllable!

As Yi Chen's footsteps stepped into it, when the kerosene lamp illuminated the inside,

The portrait of the girl who used to sit next to the campfire to warm up and eat was deleted directly from her mind.

Replaced by swollen, wriggling black masses,

It was glued to the center of the cavern, and more than a dozen black arms grew on its surface...... In other words, the soft tissues of the arms, which are sucking the liquid on the stalactites as much as possible.

The clumps are still growing, and they're still getting bigger,

At the top of the center is the head of a dark-haired girl.

It seems to feel that someone is visiting,

The head began to turn slowly, eventually facing the visitor at the door.

"Big brother, you're here! You've really succeeded in curing the disease!

However, I am sorry that a strange gray light enveloped me more than ten minutes ago, causing my body to change, and I was not able to come to greet you. ”

As he spoke, soft arms full of mucus stretched over,

Yi Chen didn't dodge, he let the soft tissue swipe across his body, there was no malice, just a very friendly touch.

The girl's head is none other than Lenny. Histra

Her hair, which had covered half of her face, now floated upwards like her soft arms, revealing horizontal striped eyes and a forehead with curved horns.

"The One-Horned Lamb Boy"

Such a characteristic instantly reminded Yi Chen of an important piece of information he had obtained during his investigation of the village-[Holy Fetus].

The humanoid carcass with goat characteristics is considered a holy fetus, and members of the church will personally visit the house to take the fetus away and send it to the depths of the church for the birth ceremony.

The answer is clear,

The young girl Leni was left behind in the underground area for some reason and was not brought to the church...... Presumably, it was her parents who concealed that the church members threw the child down the well in advance, hoping that she would continue to survive.

"Big brother, I'm really sorry...... I might need you to do me a favor. ”

"What?"

"My movement has become inconvenient, can you please carry me to the [root of the high wall]."

Yi Chen didn't ask for a specific reason,

Hop directly onto the black mass and get to your destination as fast as possible.

The stone crevices and narrow passages along the way were all broken by the village chief, just enough to allow Laini's lumpy body to pass smoothly.

Soon they came to the edge of their destination, and a few dozen meters below was the confluence of huge roots, which was a mud pond of meat where they absorbed nutrients.

"Big brother, just throw me down! If you jump off with me, you'll probably get hurt. ”

"Okay."

Yi Chen leaned sideways to let Laini fall freely,

Syllable! A large amount of mud was splashed, and the girl's head immediately looked upwards to express her gratitude to Yi Chen.

Then, a strange scene happened.

The surface of the black mass gives birth to a large number of mouth-shaped structures, frantically sucking the nutrients between the mires,

The soft arms on the surface of the body grow spikes in the palms, digging into the thick roots of the trees, sucking the nutrients of plants despised by the church,

The black mass grows rapidly in this process, and even gradually crowds the lower area, turning into a kind of oversized uterine tissue.

【Outside】

The tall walls of the enclosed forest no longer expanded, withering, withering, and even dying in a matter of minutes.

Yi Chen stood on the edge of the pit the whole time, watching the situation below,

Until a brass watch emerges from the field of vision, the beginning of which is engraved with a long frame with the umbilical cord floating, and the frame is filled with a black liquid that symbolizes new life.

Titles and names are attached to the frame

§ Born Black Girl - Laini. The-Bla-of-Palingenesis§

Yi Chen looked at this scene and showed a mocking smile:

"It's ironic...... A young girl who was not trained by the Church, who did not accept the so-called priestly sacrifices, and who fed on the lowest flesh and blood plants every day, actually became what the Church ultimately wanted to create.

It is even more perfect, and the freshman level is one level higher.

It seems that this group of church members, as well as the so-called Mother of New Birth, are merely "primers" who make a connection with something ancient through rituals and make each other a gift.

This gift does not stop with the death of Marcos,

The Gift will actively seek out the next target,

Lyni, the Lost Child, is an extra premium option. ”
