"Thank you, great Lord, for your boundless guidance that has brought me to your kingdom......"

Old man Mahal raised his head, with tears in his gray eyes, and prayed reverently to the unknown being.

The trembling body spoke of his irrepressible emotions.

"The kingdom of the saints?"

Jing Chen sat behind the stall, calmly watching Mahal's excited reaction, waiting for him to ease up a bit, and then asked out loud.

"Great Being."

Old man Mahal looked at the world around him again, and bowed his head even more submissively.

Then, under Jing Chen's gaze, the old man Mahal ripped off the burlap that covered his face.

On his face, the skin is also like the top of his head, smooth as fish skin, and there are no pores visible.

But like the top of the head, the smooth flesh festered, and on both sides of the face, there were different worms scurrying in the rotten flesh,

Even the flesh on his face has rotted away, and he can see the teeth that should be in his mouth under them.

At the same time, Jing Chen also saw some differences in the face of this visitor from outside the world.

Aside from the not-so-normal decay, the biggest difference is in the teeth.

The old man's teeth were not as flat as those of a passerby.

Rather, two rows of triangular sharp teeth that mesh with each other,

If you look closely, you can actually see that behind this row of sharp teeth, closer to the inside of Malha's mouth, there are rows of molars.

“…… Legend has it that our Lord has a similar face to us, only to give us a tooth that tears through prey and monsters. ”

And the Lord, in the kingdom of the saints, there is peace and quiet. They are bathed in the glory of the Lord, and the same countenance as the Lord is a gracious gift from the Lord. ”

"We borrow the ancient rituals to rediscover the glory of the Lord and let the glory of the Lord shine again into our world."

Old man Mahal lowered his head and said humbly,

With piety at the same time, but also with worry.

He came under the mercy of the Great Being and saw the world and the kingdom of the Lord as described in the legend,

But I also worry that this is only an illusion constructed from the memories and perceptions of a great being.

Jing Chen looked at this Mahal, probably knowing something.

According to Mahal's words, he or they are looking for their 'Lord' to save their world once again.

But...... The face is the same as that of the people in this world now, and the people of other worlds also look similar to humans?

Or, for some other reason.

"It's just a peaceful world, and order hasn't collapsed. Maybe it's powerful, but it's not that beyond your comprehension. ”

"If you want someone here to do something for you, you're probably going to be disappointed."

Jing Chen looked at this Mahar and said again.

Listening to Jing Chen's words, Mahal first subconsciously raised his head slightly, and then lowered his head even more, without making a sound, but he couldn't leave the stool, and humbly prostrated on the stool.

It's just that sitting here on the stool is the order of this great being, and he doesn't dare to move more.

"Don't think about my existence. I have no relationship with your Lord. ”

Looking at Mahal's reaction, Jing Chen knew that he probably felt something before.

To deal with this kind of thing, with Yu Chengheng and Yu Huanting as pious and fanatical 'believers', he can be regarded as experienced.

"Great presence."

When Mahar heard Jing Chen's words, he paused, and there were a lot of thoughts in his mind, probably a little disappointed.

But it was quickly suppressed, and only a more humble salutation.

"The world has its maintainers of order, and you may want to talk to them."

Jing Chen estimated that the people in the Abnormal Investigation Bureau would probably want to talk to visitors from outside this world.

"Thank you for your kindness, the Great Being."

Mahal needs more information.

He came to the kingdom of the Lord, the kingdom of the saints, but he knew nothing about it,

And this incomprehensible great being, though he exists here, is not his Lord.

Is there a lot of great beings like his Lord in this peaceful world?

"Well, before they arrived. Tell me about your world and your Lord. ”

Jing Chen took advantage of Mahal's bowing head, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to the Heterogeneous Bureau with the identity of the revelation.

Let them come and fetch people.

Turning his head again, Jing Chen asked again.

Looking at the appearance of this old man Mahal and what he described before, Jing Chen always had a very strange feeling,

"Great Being......"

Listening to Jing Chen's question, Mahal had some doubts.

Even at this moment, he was not sure that he had truly attained the kingdom of Christ.

His world could no longer bear it, and it did not belong to the attention of great beings outside of the Lord.

Finally, Mahal tilted his head slightly, and glanced slightly at the street next to him and the city buildings in the distance.

At the same time, everything that belonged to the great being in front of him in his mind had been squeezing his other cognitions in his mind.

In the end, Mahal still chose to reply to Jing Chen in a pious and humble manner,

“…… Thank you for the kindness of the Great Being. I come from a holy city in a terrible world. It is our final abode. ”

"And by the time I set out, our last abode was about to crumble into a paradise for the other great beings."

"We have pulled out the ancient rituals from the ancient texts, which are the rites of sacrifice. It was used to pray to our Lord. ”

"We put the bodies of our prey and monsters in the ritual of sacrifice, and cast our piety with the ritual to the Great Lord."

"It's just that I haven't received a response since the Lord left."

"We are sinners forsaken by the Lord, sharp teeth as beasts, rotting bodies, a gift from the Lord, and the Lord's punishment for our original sin."

"This time, we ourselves walked to the center of the sacrificial ritual, hoping to reach the kingdom of the Lord with the ritual, hoping that the Lord would forgive our sins and hope to return to the arms of the Lord."

Mahar said, pausing, lowering his head again,

His hand, which had been under his coat and burlap, came out of his sleeve.

The palms of his hands were as dry as dead wood, and a layer of wrinkled skin covered the bones.

He also had five fingers, but they were more slender than a human and had something like flippers.

At this moment, he was holding something tightly in his hand, and his eyes were reverent as he looked at it, and he was muttering a prayer in his mouth.

"Lord, you are the god of hell, and you are the fountain of fire."

"You are the medicine of the sickness, you are the salvation of the sins......

Jing Chen followed Mahal's line of sight and looked at the thing in his hand,

It was a piece of bone as white as jade, not quite sure where it belonged,

In Jing Chen's perception, this piece of bone is emitting some pollution at any time...... Seems to be some kind of special item.

"You are sacred, you are ......"

Mahal's murmur had a certain inexplicable tone, accompanied by his own voice, which was sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes sharp and sometimes low,

Instead, it has a special feeling.

Holding the bone fragment in both hands, Mahal reverently pressed it against his forehead, which was not yet festering.

After reciting a few more words, he paused.

“…… Great existence. This is the holy relic of my Lord. ”

Mahal's words made Jing Chen look at the bone fragment more,

The Lord of Mahal and his people seems to be different from the usual 'Lord' of fanatical believers.

“…… Legend has it that the Lord came to our world a long time ago. She created us in her own image. ”

"She holds the divine and great power, and she leads us on the land and the sea, which is full of monsters."

"She gives us strength and wisdom, and her glory shines on us."

"With her protection, we have established the Holy City."

"Her great power drives all sickness and injury away from us, and all monsters rot in the glory of the Lord."

"Until the Lord returns to her kingdom."

"Legend has it that every one of us who dies will return to the bosom of the Lord, where everything is bathed in the glory of the Lord."

"There are no monsters, no death, eternal order, peace, which will continue in the glory of the Lord and her subordinates."

"The people there, no longer need sharp teeth, because there are no more monsters."

"The people there will no longer be sinners, and those who have paid the penalty for their original sins will no longer rot."

"The kingdom of the Lord is a dwelling place of eternal peace."

Even here, speaking of this, Mahal still has yearning in his eyes,

It seems that the place he describes is the most beautiful place and the deepest vision in his heart.

Jing Chen listened to Mahal's words, and then lowered his head and looked at the bone fragment in Mahal's hand,

He had more of that strange feeling...... There's also something inexplicable...... Familiar?

"Your Lord, do you have a real name?"

Jing Chen asked.

Mahar shook his head,

"The Lord is the Lord."

Lowering his head again, Mahal looked at the bone fragment in his hand,

"When the Lord was gone, she said,"

"When I'm gone, you can tear down my bones and flesh."

"The vestiges of my fading will continue to give you strength."

"After that, the Lord returned to her kingdom, but her power still sheltered her people."

"Our strength to resist monsters is a gift from the Lord's mercy."

It sounds like,

This Lord of Mahal and the people of the world in which he lives is more like dead...... And not to go back.

However, Jing Chen did not discuss this idea with a devout believer.

Just look at the bone in Mahal's hand again,

"Can you show me something like that you have in your hand?"

"Great presence...... I ......"

Mahal trembled, he could not refuse the request of a great being,

But he could not deliver the relics of the Lord into the hands of another great being,

He trembled even more, as if against this great fear.

"Don't force yourself if you don't want to."

But at this time, Mahal heard the voice of the Great Being like a heavenly sound,

He breathed a sigh of relief, losing most of his strength, and just clutched the holy relics of the Lord in his hand tightly and lowered his head.

"But can you use what you say, the power of your Lord's gift?"

Jing Chen looked at the old man Mahar who disagreed, and he didn't force it,

Just said it again.

"This is the kingdom of the Lord......"

"It's okay, you can use your power up close."

"That great being...... Forgive me for the revelation of my humble power before you. ”

Then, Mahal, who had always been a little trembling and restrained, once again grasped the holy relic with both hands,

Then, a force came out of him, from the holy remains in his hands to be precise.

Confined to the surrounding area, that is, with Mahar as the center, a gray area appeared...... corroded around a circle,

At the same time, the maggots on Mahal's body emerged and wriggled outward with the spread of the gray area.

"Okay......"

Jing Chen has seen this familiar power,

After saying a word, this Mahal regained his strength, and everything returned to normal.

However, Jing Chen was a little silent.

Mahal's way of unleashing his power is very special, completely different from the investigators of the Heterogeneous Bureau in this world.

He didn't seem to have much power himself, more of it was emanating from the bone in his hand.

And the power used is quite familiar.

"Does your holy city have a name?"

Jing Chen thought of some kind of absurd possibility and asked this question,

Then he heard Mahar's mouth, which had been speaking a unique language, coming out of a language similar to that of the people of this world.

"Number ......"

"Rats?"

"Yes, Zirat, Zirat City, this is the name of our holy city."

"He means great and holy."

Jing Chen listened to the name that came out of the mouth of this Mahal, a fairly clear and familiar name.

Stopped.

This answer may have coincided with the absurdity that popped up in his mind.

He felt a familiar power on the holy relics in Mahal's mouth,

When Mahal was used, it became even clearer.

If memory serves, this power should be called 'Filth and Pestilence'.

Mahal's words put the most unlikely possibility in front of Jing Chen.

Not long ago, the investigator who sacrificed the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau should be this old man Mahal, the master of the mouth of this visitor from another world.

But the Lord who came a long time ago in Mahal's mouth died not long ago.

If this is really what Jing Chen thinks, there seems to be some deviation between time and the two worlds.

Looking at the skeleton in Mahal's hand again, Jing Chen was speechless for a while.

“…… Great Being, is this the kingdom of the Lord? ”

“…… If you are just looking for your lord's kingdom, this is it. ”

Mahal paused for a moment before asking again.

Jing Chen paused for a moment, then responded.

When I raised my head again and looked not far away, I saw a familiar figure again.

The reptile from the Bureau of Anomalies rushed over with an investigator.

“…… Sir, we have received a message from Mr. Revelation......"

The reptile bowed its head to Jing Chen, first saluted respectfully, and then slowly turned its head to look at Mahal, who was completely different from ordinary people.

"That's ......"

"Well, this is a visitor from another world. You might want to talk to him. ”

Jing Chen paused and nodded in response.

That Mahar heard the voice next to him again, and he looked up cautiously, and then saw the two reptiles.

He felt strength from these two people, powerful but not so incomprehensible.

This is not the same being as the Great Being,

He remembered the words of the Great One before him, and he didn't have to think about her existence.

"This is one of the maintainers of order in this world, you can communicate with them."

Jing Chen said to Mahal again,

"Humble Mahal thanks you for your kindness and says goodbye to you."

Mahal respectfully got back to his feet.

Jing Chen turned his head again, looked at the reptile that came over, and said the most important piece of information to the reptilian.

"This visitor from another world comes from another world, their holy city, the city of rats."

"Rat City?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, sir, for the inspiration......"

Mahal kept his head down and did not speak, but he kept paying attention to the communication between this great being and the defender of this world order,

From the words of the exchange, Mahal also realized something.

"Then sir, we'll take our leave."

"Hmm...... If you have any results, you can come and tell me about them. ”

"I'm also a little interested in it."

"Of course."

“…… This guest, please come with us to our place and perhaps communicate with us. ”

The reptile showed some respect for this visitor from another world who could communicate.

"Hmm."

Mahar did not refuse, but just held the holy remains, and prayed silently while following the reptiles and others to leave.

Jing Chen looked at the figure of the investigator of the Investigation Bureau and Mahal leaving,

I focused my attention and peeked into the future of these people.

Fortunately...... Although he was a visitor from another world, it did not affect Jing Chen's peeping into his future.
