Chapter 112: Get Ready, Do a Big Deal
Although Ren Yi didn't know why, she obviously didn't have the ability to threaten herself.
After thinking about it, he still followed behind the rickety prayer officer, crossing the dilapidated main street of the abandoned town.
In the distance, a shed made of scrap copper and rotten iron appeared.
"Uh......" came out with a half-dead wail.
Only then did Ren Yi discover that every shed was full of men whose faces were almost integrated with the land, and their clothes were ragged and stiff like dead corpses!
Ren Yi looked at it, and his scalp was numb.
No wonder you can't see a single person on the street, it turns out that all the old ladies are gathered here!
"Look ......"
Ren Yi followed her gaze and looked up, in the middle of a bunch of simple shantytowns, there was actually a dilapidated hospital?
"Follow me."
The prayer officer walked around the ground and walked slowly up the steps.
Ren Yi looked all the way, this was an ordinary small hospital, but it had been abandoned for too long, the red cross sign had fallen off, and the medical knowledge billboard on the wall had long faded and hung down.
At the door were two rows of iron benches for hanging bottles, and on them sat numb, emaciated men, all of them asleep, with expressions of pleasure in a hallucination, squirming from time to time and saying a few words in their dreams.
There were too many people to sit on the stools, and there were many lying on the ground, all with the same expressions.
"Why did she bring these people together? And built them sheds? ”
The prayer officer walked to the dim fork in the corridor, and Ren Yi looked up to find that the light sign that had been extinguished on it actually said "Inpatient Department".
"Huh? No way? Ren Yi reacted a little at this time, and immediately widened his eyes in surprise, "She can't be saving them!" ”
"But isn't she a doppelganger of the 'Swollen Saint'? Why do you do this kind of thing against yourself? ”
The prayer officer unscrewed the door of a room, and the stench that was not circulating immediately came out.
There were two hardboard beds in the room, and on the one by the window lay a thin humanoid figure, motionless, not even sure if he was still alive.
"It used to be a hospital."
The old prayer officer spoke.
"Since everyone in the town was infected by the 'swollen saint', there is no need for a hospital anymore. It became a church, and the nurses became prayer officers. I would have been one of them. ”
"Then there was a fire and my face was burned. Perhaps because of this, it became less parasitic for me, so I came back to some senses. ”
"I gradually remembered that after being manipulated by it. I've hurt a lot of people...... Until my son became like this. ”
"Your son?" Ren Yi was stunned.
The prayer officer stretched out his hand and said, "That's him." ”
Ren Yi carefully looked at the figure on the hard bed.
It was also a young man, about thirty years old, shriveled and almost skinny.
His eyelids twitched, and he could feel the high-speed movement of his eyeballs underneath, and his face showed an intoxicated expression from time to time, which was obviously a sign of a deep hallucination.
The man's twig-like hand had a needle stuck in the back of his hand, a hose attached to it, and at the end was a vial of glucose, gurgling into the man's bruise, bulging veins.
There were urinary catheters, urine bags, and other things hanging from his bedside, and the pungent smell came from here.
But it was useless, Ren Yi could see that his life energy was about to be sucked dry. These vital signs things are no longer able to recover.
The prayer officer sighed, "I can't bear to see him die, so I've been trying my best to keep him alive. ”
"Over the years, as my consciousness gradually cleared up, I became more and more guilty, and I began to take care of other believers."
"They were all raised by their parents, and I couldn't bear to see them trapped in a fantasy until they starved to death."
"Fortunately, I used to be a nurse, so I can extend their lives for a while."
"It's a pity that my strength alone is too weak, and the medical supplies are gradually running out, I really don't know how long I can hold out......
I see.
"In the evening, I saw your car parked in town. It's all believers here, so after taking care of the believers here, I came to your camp with some basic medicine and cleaning supplies. ”
"I see that you are young, so I plan to leave you with the last good medicine."
There was a deep weariness on her half-bright and half-terrifying face against the light.
"There aren't many medicines left in the hospital. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on any longer......"
At this moment, the man on the next hospital bed had a trembling arm, tilted his head weakly to the side, and there was no more reaction.
"He's gone." Ren Yidao.
The prayer officer was stunned for a moment and sighed deeply.
"I knew there would be this day."
"Originally, I thought that my son would hold out until the day when the 'swollen saint' was eliminated."
"I've been trying my best to take care of them, just because I think they're still young and if they have a day like this, they can live again."
Ren Yi stood in place, speechless for a while.
Since she was looking forward to the day when the "swollen saint" would be eliminated...... As a prayer officer, she may have some information that I don't know!
Ren Yi immediately let go of control completely, and said to her, "I might be able to do it!" ”
"But I know too few clues. If you're willing to help me, tell me everything you know about the Swelling Saint. ”
"This ......," she frowned and pondered for a moment, "my knowledge of the Holy Maiden comes only from the teachings it conveys in her dreams. ”
"The doctrine says that the 'One Mother' gave birth first to countless gods, and then to humans. Humans and gods are actually one and the same. ”
Ren Yi asked, "Mother means 'swollen saint'?" ”
"I don't know." The prayer officer shook his head, "But one thing is for sure, it's not the 'swollen saint'. ”
"The 'Swelling Saint' is just a human incarnation of one of the gods."
After listening to this, Ren Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
God? Their god refers to the Advent, right?
What does it mean that all gods have one mother? Above the Advent, there is a higher being?
What's even more terrifying is ...... Is the relationship between humans and the Adventists actually one and the same?
How is this possible!
This sentence should be just some kind of preaching rhetoric, a means to bring the listener and the believer closer to each other...... Ren Yi thought in a panic.
"The holy woman divides her body into innumerable parts and bestows it on every prayer officer; Together, each prayer officer can also summon the saint to come. ”
So that's the case, no wonder they don't want to do it right away......
"I've been waiting, waiting for someone who can beat it. Seeing you today, I feel like I finally see hope. ”
Suddenly, her gaze passed through the window and stared at the boundless night: "Time is running out. I felt their breath. ”
She turned to face Ren Yi, leaving two lines of tears on her half-old and half-gorgeous face: "Can I trouble you one more thing?" ”
"If, if it works, help me take care of them. They were all young, and they shouldn't have died in vain. ”
Ren Yi nodded, "Don't worry, I'll find a way." ”
"Where is he?"
Under the moonlight, more than a dozen figures dressed in black rushed straight to Ren Yi's jeep.
The two prayer officers in the town greeted him and pointed out, "I trapped him with my power, and I was ......."
There was a creak, and the door was pulled open.
The driver's seat was empty.
Ren Yi is gone!
"How so!" Outside the car, the same young and beautiful faces twisted and collapsed and screamed at the same time.
"What now?"
"There's no way, I can only start the plan!"
"Trap him forcibly!"
"Dao Chief! Michigan! ”
Suddenly, the voice of Sister-in-law Yu came from the "round sky".
"There are a lot of trucks coming out of town!"
"Did we fall for it?"
Ren Yi frowned.
He immediately ran to the window, only to see dozens of cars coming from all directions in the dark night, surrounding the exit of the town!
Farther away, countless scrawny, ghost-like believers wandered through the mountains and fields, slowly converging in this direction.
This plain is controlled by the "Swelling Saint"!
"Lao Yu!" Ren Yi shouted.
"Dao Chief, what are your orders?"
"Get ready, we're going to have a big ticket!"
