Chapter 4: The Light

Light.

This was the first time that Zhou Qi deeply felt the meaning of this word, it was warm, shining, holy, without a trace of blasphemy. He couldn't help but cry for it.

"I don't know what this thing is, but it's so flashy, can you stop facing us." Zhou Qi rubbed his tearful eyes and protested angrily at Aponia.

Just like several times in the past, Aponia's face was still so cold and unchanged, but she extinguished the light in her hand and quietly looked at the two in front of her.

Xu Yao was very curious, "What are you, a high-tech flashlight?" He had never seen anything like it, and he wasn't familiar with the nuns, even though he had lived next door to them for five years. According to his observations, Aponia's life was regular, monotonous, and unpleasant, and she prayed every morning, cleaned up the church, and received the faithful until the evening, and she enjoyed it, and even rarely left the church in her free time. Xu Yao goes out early and returns late every day, either scavenging or drinking, so naturally there are few intersections.

"Twilight Divine Technique, a kind of divine grace? Or a miracle from God. The nun's expression was solemn, her tone was not uncertain, in fact, she had only recently mastered this supernatural power, but she had been fortunate enough to see it a long time ago, so she was able to remain calm when she first used this ability, although confused.

"What is a miracle from God? There really is a god in the world, have you seen it? Zhou Qi was also very curious, he also had a similar power beyond the mundane, although he didn't know if the blood flower could blow people up and flash at a glance, but the flame ability could indeed be reproduced. It's just that I don't know if the two are the same type of ability.

"Naturally, although the Lord will not appear in front of the world, but serve devotedly, abide by the rules of the church, and after death, everyone has the opportunity to enter the kingdom of God and meet the Lord." Aponia stared at Zhou Qi seriously, as if he was not a living person, but some kind of artifact, that cold look made him uncomfortable, and he was just about to say something, when he saw Xu Yao laugh disdainfully.

", no one has ever seen how that canon came about? If it is determined by people, then who guarantees that it will be useful? If so, how did it come about? The dead go to heaven and learn to dream for the living? Although he did not understand the canons, he grew up by the church since he was a child, and he was familiar with this set of words, although he said it casually at this time, but it was also the crystallization of his wisdom after many years of thinking.

Aponia lowered her head, obviously Xu Yao's words were not something she could answer casually, just as she was thinking carefully and trying to give an answer, Zhou Qi spoke appropriately.

"What can you do with this light, how long can it last, do you produce heat, can you get rid of it, is there any other way to use it, can you attach it to other objects, can you be more prolific, what is it consumed to maintain?" The barrage of questions made Apoña a little confused, and it took a lot of effort for her to sort out the answers.

"Weapons that can affect dead objects and inflict holy light have a scorching effect, presumably like being swept away by a torch soaked in pine oil. In my hands it has no practical effect, it can only emit a faint light, but I can also separate it, throw it, and once it leaves my body, it will emit a bright light and high heat, which has a certain lethality. The consumption is—" she paused and continued uncertainly, "it is my faith, and as long as I remain religious, this light will always shine in my hands." As she spoke, she raised her hands, and two holy rays of light converged in her hands.

"Oh, I'm going to take it away, do you have any misunderstanding about the faint light!" Zhou Qi blocked his eyes, the light was really a little bright, but he couldn't stop his curiosity, "You said that throwing it out is a bright light, how bright is it?" ”

Aponia hesitated slightly, but soon, she threw a ball of light in her hand at the window behind Xu Yao, and at that moment, two suns seemed to rise in Yiqing City. Before Xu Yao could turn around, he saw a burst of white light passing behind him, and Zhou Qi in front of him was already in tears, and he couldn't stop.

"Poof, Miss Sister still seems to know how to be bright." Xu Yao laughed happily, and suddenly the inside and outside of the hut were filled with a happy atmosphere.

Zhou Qi sighed helplessly, eager to slap his curiosity, the moment the light came out, he felt bad, but the light was too fast, a white expanse instantly swallowed his sight, and even in a hurry, he used a third of the blood flower to restore his eyes, but now looking at the white wall, there are still pieces of black spots in the line of sight that are not very obvious.

"Okay, it's not too much to take you, just make sure that the things in your hands don't litter, by the way, what are you doing when you go out with our two big men, isn't it good in the city?" After a short period of thought, Zhou Qi and Xu Yao reached a consensus on their eyes.

"Because you have the breath of God in you, and my friend is missing, I'm going out to find it." Rarely, Aponia's face showed a hint of humanity, but it quickly faded.

"Friends? Oh, that missing lady, that really should be looked for. Zhou Qi plucked out his ears, and automatically ignored the breath of a god or something, obviously fooling people's lines.

"But did you pack your belongings and get out? We have some surplus, but tents, beds, dry food and the like are not convenient for you. Xu Yao reminded loudly, after all, the nuns in front of him did not have the experience of surviving in the wilderness, but they just wanted to walk with them for some reasons.

Aponya's figure vanished almost instantly, leaving only the two staring at each other in place.

"Do you think this girl is telling you anything?" Zhou Qi was the first to speak, and although he agreed to the nun's request, he didn't fully believe the other party.

Xu Yao narrowed his eyes, different from his wild size, his mind was very delicate, "Who knows, but the ability she is showing now is actually at the level of a humanoid D-level mutant beast, and it is still within the range of what we can handle." He touched the beard that didn't exist on his face. And I'm more inclined to be true, after all, they Orthodox Christians can't lie casually, and..."

"The premise of piety is not to commit murder." Zhou Qi made up what he wanted to say, which surprised Xu Yao, "Yo, you still understand this?" ”

"Some of the enlightenment picture books I read when I was a child specifically indicate that the murder here is not Zen killing." After a small * that pretended to be a cultural suppression from Versailles that allowed him to occupy the commanding heights of IQ in an instant, Zhou Qi was silent, and he found that Xu Yao was the same, the two of them didn't say anything, and they seemed to have said everything.

"This world is dangerous." "This world is crazy!" The two of them spoke in unison, saying things of similar significance.

It didn't take long for Apoña to knock on Xu Yao's door with a package on his back.

Looking at the two people who opened the door, Apoña took the initiative to explain, "I can only take myself with me when I walk with light, and if I carry more than half a kilogram of items on my body, I can't start it." ”

The three of them, who were harmonious but not so harmonious, set off like this, and Zhou Qi's family was on their way out of the city, so they saved a lot of effort. It's just that Xu Yao is obviously still a little uneasy, and he has learned some common sense from Aponia's science from time to time along the way.

Zhou Qi looked at the two who were talking (referring to Xu Yao) and smiling (still referring to Xu Yao), his eyes gradually moved to the sky in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel a little more joy in his heart.
