Li Shenzhi, who was standing in the carriage door, looked at the door that opened at the right time with a look of surprise, his eyes swept over the cheering believers on the platform, and finally moved up to look at the mask sacrifice that was frantically chanting on the high platform, and finally understood how the train came from?

Feelings are derived from "wishes".

Born out of the desire of the townspeople of Centeria to open a train!

The crowd that suddenly emerged from the train seemed to be the townspeople who had lost the town.

It's just that this wish is too terrifying, isn't it?

Not only is it perfect to create steam trains, platforms, and ...... out of thin air and other supporting measures;

He even brought back the wandering townspeople, including Lizardman Sidney!

How powerful is that?

In Li Shenzhi's astonishment, there was a sudden change on the high platform!

At the ankle of the mask, a dazzling light suddenly passed, and the light did not flash but stayed.

This change attracted the attention of believers.

Voiceless exclamations abound.

In the exclamation, everyone finally saw the lingering light.

It turned out to be a bronze shackle,

In the limelight, there was a sound of "card" and buckled the sacrificial ankle.

"Filthy heretics who dare to covet the throne? It's just arrogant! ”

At the same time, a voice of ridicule and mockery came from among the believers, and the source was not discerned.

As soon as the voice fell, "Bang dang! "Boom!

The locked bronze shackles lost their target and fell off the platform at the moment they were closed.

"Hahaha! The thief is hanged, the pirate is knighted! Drôme Avista, the despicable scroller of divinity stealers and the great shiner of darkness, has answered my wish that I will be crowned a god at last! You and other despicable people will sink into the mire and abyss of self-comfort in the vain spirit of knights and gentlemen! ”

Rampant laughter came from the corner of the high platform.

When the crowd saw the mask sacrifice, he had already jumped off the high platform, spread his cloak, and slid towards the train like a starry night owl.

Its destination is none other than Li Shenzhi!

"Stop him!

！ ”

An angry roar came.

At the same time, several figures appeared in the crowd, like lightning and flint.

However, they are too far away after all!

When the roar of filial piety sounded, the mask sacrifice had already deceived Li Shenzhi.

Seeing that this innocent man is about to fall under the glory of the new god.

In the next second, everyone froze.

I saw that the red-haired young man standing at the door of the carriage suddenly disintegrated, turned into a white mist, and surrounded the rushing sacrifice.

If you look closely, where is the fog?

It's clearly a disgusting mass of maggots!

"Get out—"

The Mask Priest rebuked angrily, trying to wave the maggots that had wrapped him, but he didn't want the maggots to become more and more, and they piled up into a mountain and completely drowned him.

At the same time, several figures that shot from the crowd also rushed to the front.

"Langdon, get out of the way!"

A low cry was heard, and the mountain of maggots scattered in response, revealing the mask sacrifice inside.

Stop!

A flash of light flashed, and the bronze shackles appeared out of thin air again, locking onto the mask sacrifice.

The difference is that this time a resentful spirit also emerged, possessed and sacrificed to the body, trying to dominate the body and make it lose the ability to resist!

Immediately afterwards, a pair of gray-glowing arms pressed towards the mask to worship.

When the gray hand touched the mask sacrifice, a layer of cold gray suddenly appeared on the mask sacrifice.

The gray spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, the whole body of the sacrifice was enveloped, turning into a vivid stone statue!

This is - petrification!

！

This scene is tedious, but it is actually extremely fast.

When the maggot put on his clothes again and turned into Li Shen, the mask priest was already shackled, his whole body was petrified, and he was curled up on the ground, motionless.

At this time, Li Shenzhi finally saw the person clearly, and his eyes jumped slightly.

Surrounding the masked priest were three people, two of whom were dressed in the robes of the Maritime Church, and one of whom wore knightly civilian clothes and resembled a sheriff.

"The clown who picks the beam is also worthy of being a god?"

A sneer of resentment came from the mouth of a black-robed priest.

"Poof!"

Before the sound could be heard, another priest suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Hudgens?" The black-robed priest looked at him in astonishment.

“…… Bishop Jeremiah's Remnant ...... Return to the Kingdom of God! The blood-vomiting priest turned pale, and looked at the mask sacrifice that was still in a petrified state with an incredulous expression.

"What?" The black-robed priest was shocked.

The wraiths that Huggins used to possess and control the target were not ordinary wraiths, but devout servants of the gods!

Only those who have made outstanding contributions during their lifetime are qualified to become servants of the seafaring gods after death and serve by God's side forever.

Such a being is a holy thing tainted with divinity.

How could it be...... Return to the Kingdom of God?

Unless......

The black-robed priest's gaze fell on the mask priest again, and his face was ugly.

Could it be ...... Could it be that his wish has come true?

Even if it's twisted and ominous?

Li Shenzhi looked at the two priests who were whispering, and was about to ask, his eyes flashed.

I saw that everything in front of me was gradually becoming transparent and blurred.

Priests, sheriffs, masked sacrifices, train platforms, including the terrifying believers with their teeth and claws.

Even the incomparably real steam train behind him is all dissipating transparently.

"Mr. Langdon, see you at the Sheriff's!"

At this moment, the security officer in a knight's uniform looked at Li Shenzhi and greeted.

As soon as the voice fell, he disappeared completely!

……

……

In the master bedroom of a beautifully decorated villa in the small town of Centeria, the red-haired young man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked at the familiar ceiling, and the hole shrank.

It took him a moment before he sat up and looked at the clothes hanging on the hanger, which were completely complete.

He thought for a moment, got up and walked over, took a copy of Flemish from his pocket, and hurriedly flipped through it, finally fixing on a certain page.

Li Shenzhi's expression became complicated.

What he saw on the steam train matched exactly what he was in the book at the moment.

This means that what he is experiencing is not just a dream.

In the wandering thoughts, Li Shenzhi took a breath, got dressed, left the villa, and walked to the sheriff's office.

At this time, the dark night sky was imperceptibly covered with a layer of gray, which was the prelude to the whiteness of the East.

When he was about to arrive at the town sheriff's office, he saw the sheriff in a knight's uniform standing in front of the door and waiting.

"Long waiting!"

Li Shenzhi approached and took off his top hat to salute.

"I've just arrived! Let me introduce myself, my name is Darcy, Commissioner of the Public Security Department, and this is my badge. ”

Darcy gets straight to the point and hands over something to prove his identity.

This chapter is a secret thing made by the Public Security Department, and it contains a wisp of spiritual breath of the owner, which is extremely difficult to imitate.

At least Li Shenzhi has never heard of it, who can imitate it.

As for being intercepted and impersonated, it is even more impossible.

Because the spirituality within the badge is "read-only", any rewriting will destroy the integrity of the badge.

At the time of Li Shenzhi's identification, Darcy continued: "I know that you must have many doubts now, but now is not the time to talk about them, I can only say that what you have experienced is both a dream and a reality, and since the Dark Shiner has responded to the wish of the townspeople, then she will definitely make it happen, no matter how ridiculous!" ”

"So there must be a steam train in the town now, yes, the one you're on, maybe in the suburbs, maybe in the air, maybe in the lake, maybe even underground!"

"Anyway, now please immediately recruit people, find the train, and cordon off the surrounding area for new instructions from the Sheriff's Department!"

Li Shenzhi was stunned when he heard this.

"I know, I'll arrange it."

While speaking, Li Shenzhi was about to enter the Public Security Department and give orders to the officers on duty.

No, there was a cry.

“…… Mr. Langdon! ”

Following the prestige, I saw Loxani, who had changed into a security uniform, running over out of breath.

Seeing this, a flash of regret flashed in Li Shenzhi's eyes...... Anyway, the pajamas are pretty good.

"You're just in ...... time"

Li Shenzhi hurriedly repeated Darcy's order.

Loxani was stunned.

After a while, I came back to my senses.

She had the heart to ask a few questions, but under the order, she still had to turn around and leave.

However, when she turned to leave, she quietly took out the silver matchbox, opened it and looked at it, and only after making sure that the maggots were pointing correctly, did she breathe a sigh of relief.

After Li Shenzhi gave the order to Loxani, he entered the Sheriff's Office and gave instructions to the officers on duty.

Sent everyone out.

As for himself, he stayed at the Sheriff's Office, waiting for news from all sides.

"Mr. Darcy, what the hell is going on?"

At this point, Li Shenzhi finally found time to ask.

"It all starts with the lizardman!"

Darcy exhaled, straightened out his words a little, and explained.

Li Shenzhi has always been curious, is the lizardman Sidney the mosaic? Or are they just lizardmen?

He is said to be a mosaic, but he has no wisdom as a mosaic;

He is said to be a lizardman, but he can disguise himself as an adult with inferior intelligence.

The feeling is really twisted and grotesque.

Now Li Shenzhi knows.

It turned out that this was a very vicious method of stitching.

Some evil heretics have used the lizardmen's anomalous recovery ability to seal and sew the lizardmen's organs into their faithful's bodies, making them into abominable humanoid weapons!

This allows the believer to preserve their human appearance and sanity, and if necessary, to quickly release the lizardfolk by surprise.

It's not so much about sealing the lizardmen in a human body, it's about having the lizardmen draped in human skin.

On top of that, this humanoid weapon is very inexpensive to manufacture.

As long as a part of the lizardman limbs is retained through the secret method, even if the believer's weapon released is dead, the lizardman can be quickly resurrected by retaining the limbs.

So in the end, the loss is just a believer!

It's dirty!

It also made the Sheriff's Department and even the Nautical Church hate.

However, this is not the fundamental reason for sending two nautical priests at the same time.

Rather, there are only a handful of heretics who have mastered this method, and one of them is extremely dangerous, which is the fundamental reason why Tudor sent two priests with a sheriff.

In fact, Tudor's fears came true.

This heretical sect is the Wish Sect of the Enveloped Dark Shiners!

"As far as I know, the Dark Shiners are attracted to unusually strong desires, most of which are collective desires, and very few are triggered by individuals."

"Once the Dark Shiner responds to a wish, it will surely come true!"

At this point, a look of absurdity and horror flashed across Darcy's face.

"Inevitable?" Li Shenzhi was surprised.

"That's right, it will come true, whatever that wish may be? And how ridiculous! But......" Darcy paused and looked meaningful, "It's not a good thing. ”

"How?"

"The gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price. In this world, how can there be blessings from heaven except my lord?! ”

"The Dark Shiner does grant all wishes, but they will eventually deviate from the rituals, become distorted, and often ominous, abominable, and disgusting."

Li Shenzhi was suddenly silent.

After a long time, he said, "What about the Wish Sacrifice?" ”

Darcy showed a look of understanding: "You want to say that he made a wish to become a god?" ”

Li Shenzhi's jaw.

"Since the Dark Shiner has responded to his wish, his wish must have come true! It's just that it's hard to say what form of the god he will become. Perhaps, he just became a part of the gods, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of his wish. ”

Li Shenzhi glanced at Darcy and did not speak.

While the two were talking, a vigilante hurriedly reported that the steam train had been found.

Li Shenzhi and Darcy glanced at each other, and hurriedly left the security officer on duty at the security office, and then rushed to the destination.

The train platform is right in the middle of town.

This is the fundamental reason why vigilantes were able to find the train so quickly.

However, when Li Shenzhi and the two arrived, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them.

I saw a railway platform popping up out of thin air in the open space of Osverd Street, which was not yet completed, thanks to the complete infrastructure of the town of Centria.

This platform is not only not out of place, but complements each other well.

It's just that there are empty platforms, but there are no train tracks.

When Li Shenzhi arrived, the unusually familiar train was parked by the platform...... The front of the car, as for the body, gradually disappears into nothingness, I don't know which world to walk in!

"It's so distorted beyond imagination!" Darcy looked shocked.

Li Shenzhi was silent.

"Seal this place! The next exploration mission is no longer something we can interfere with. Darcy sighed, and after speaking, his expression moved: "No, maybe you can still try." ”

"Everything is up to the arrangements of the General Administration." Li Shenzhi replied.

He knew what Darcy meant.

As a creeper, he could split a part of his body, enter the train, and try to enter the unknown plane.

Even if the Creep Splinter distance is limited, this limited distance is enough to help the Sheriff's Department complete the exploration from zero to one.

As long as you know the territory of this unknown time and space, many things will be easy to do.

……

……

When Li Shenzhi took advantage of the night to block the train platform, Darcy's two fellow priests were in the underground secret room of the town's church, arranging tedious sealing spells.

The chamber is 60 feet long, wide, and 60 feet high.

In the middle is an obsidian altar.

On the altar, the petrified Wish Sacrifice Ellis lies quietly on it as motionless as a mountain, looking like a marble sculpture from the hands of the Grandmaster.

Father Huntington, the local pastoral priest, was sitting in the light of the candle with a pale face, presiding over a temporary purification ceremony.

Wait for the two priests from Tudor to complete the semi-permanent purification spell!

A day ago, he didn't dare to imagine that one day he would preside over the ritual of purifying the gods.

Although the existence of the obsidian platform is a desire to become a god, it is necessarily an abomination, a twist, an ominous, and blasphemous.

But God is God after all!
