Chapter 470: The Temple - The Church of Salvation
After leaving the bathroom, Kyosuke Kazato walked down a quiet hallway, looking vigilantly from side to side.
Why is it that the cloister and the transept on both sides are empty? Is it because it's not open hours?
But if that's the case, why are all the lights in the cloisters so bright......
The strange scenes he encountered from the beginning of entering the operating room were constantly impacting his cognition, and Kyosuke Kaze tried to calm his mind and find a way to escape from the repeatedly changing scenes, or what the so-called "test" was.
However, the frequently changing environment and the strange logic of scene switching are making him uncontrollable and his thoughts are constantly drifting.
Indeed, he hijacked Tang Zezhao into the haunted house of the amusement park, and if it is explained that the operating room where Chigoro appeared can also be said to use the original layout of the haunted house, the hospital operating area that appeared later, and this increasingly strange church......
What is this, hallucination, is he demonstrating the ability of that organization to influence cognitively?
This is actually not a complicated question.
"Although I always knew that Leader would have a lot of strange ideas, it was very surprising that such a bold idea could be successfully realized."
Standing in the safe house, monitoring Kyosuke Kazeto's actions through Noah's pre-built perspective, Hoshikawa Teru stepped on the floor of the operating room twice and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a very simple question of logic." Holding his chin and looking at the monitor, Tang Ze said casually, "Have you forgotten that because of the special form of existence, although the Shadow Noah's Ark, who is the master of the hall, has been 'stolen' by us as a secret treasure, his temple still exists, and still has the characteristics of the game space." Then, it is not very difficult to let ARK build a completely consistent space according to Kyosuke Kazeto's hall. β
Noah, who was distracted by the monitor, nodded: "Intercept the flow of information from other halls, vacate a new interface in my space, and then set it as a special entrance...... It's really a simple thing. β
About this part, it is the original holographic game that inspired Tang Ze.
Since Noah's Ark can intercept the information of Hiroyuki Kanaya's palace and use it in the construction of the game scene, it should be very simple to sew a room in the temple of Kyosuke Kazeto, right?
After determining that Kyosuke Kado's hall corresponds to the real Yoneka Yakushino Hospital, the position where he is absolutely weak in control and will completely overlap with the real-world scene, Karasawa confirmed it without even thinking about it.
It must be an operating room, where else could it be?
For Kyosuke Kazeto, who was conspired against because of an emergency operation and was forever cut off from surgery, the operating room must be a place he doesn't want to touch or approach.
Therefore, the operating room has become a special location selected by Tang Ze for intermediate transfer and teleportation.
The special nature of the haunted house in the amusement park will make it impossible for Kyosuke Kazado to realize the change of location at the first time, so at the right time, send him to Noah's space that has been prepared for a long time, and then use Noah's space to truly teleport to the corresponding location of Kyosuke Kado's own temple.
Except for the few strange thieves who are constantly in and out of the cognitive world who can detect the clues in the middle of the two transfers, Muggles like Kyosuke Kado, combined with the appearance of Akechi Goro and the constant mental oppression, will not react to what is happening at all.
"He's about to find the exit to the cloister." Narumi Asai, who was most familiar with this scene and was in charge of the entire survey, observed Kyosuke Kado's movements and gave an accurate judgment, "I guess I will see the shadow of the queue soon." β
"Well, that's pretty much it." Comparing the map on his interface, Tang Ze nodded, "Let's go, he estimates that he will be able to see 'his masterpiece' soon." β
Several people who had already seen the scene in advance exchanged glances, and at the same time looked at Tang Ze's back.
"What's wrong?" Sensing the complicated gaze of his teammates behind him, Tang Ze turned his head, looked at the expressions on the faces of several people, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I know that the scene over there is outrageous, and I am mentally prepared." I'm not worried, what are you afraid of? β
"I really don't know what to say about you, do you call it strong psychological tolerance, or what......" pressed his temples, recalling his feelings when he first walked into this temple, Asai Narumi shook his head.
At this time, someone is really feeling the impact that Asai Narumi has received.
Kyosuke Kado, who walked through the transept and into the main body of the church, looked at everything in front of him, his eyes widening and widening.
Contrary to what he had imagined to be empty because it was not open, there was a long queue in front of the door of the chapel.
Guests dressed in black and white formal suits were lining up in a long line, silently waiting to enter the hall.
Some of them wore cloaks that covered their entire bodies, and their faces were invisible, while others showed their faces.
- Every face that can be seen is familiar to Kyosuke Kado.
"All of them, from the school?" After a cursory identification, Kyosuke Kazado felt his clenched palms sweating.
How did this do it, and they investigated the background of the school?
No, it doesn't seem to be necessary, as patrons, they may have been paying attention to them in the first place, and they don't need any extra help.
So what are they all here for today? Did the people of that organization put themselves in a secret assembly of the school?
After observing for a while, and seeing that the people in line didn't pay attention to their meaning, Kyosuke Kazado gritted his teeth and slowly approached the end of the line, approaching a member he was more familiar with.
"Mr. Harada, what are you doing here......" he lowered his voice and asked a middle-aged man with glasses in front of him.
This guy is a peer he has communicated with a lot in the school, and after he left, he was a new attending physician in the cardiology department of the Affiliated Hospital of Dongdu University, and he coincided with his ideas on many issues, and occasionally exchanged emails.
There will be a situation where Harada is notified and not notified......
"You're all in line, and you're asking me why." Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Harada looked back like a fool and glanced at Kyosuke Kado, "Of course it's for the sacrament." Today is Holy Communion Day. If you don't have any gratitude to the Lord, then you don't have to come. β
"Holy Communion ......?" Kyosuke Kazato frowned.
Is it the kind of communion ritual in which chants are chanted and then the priest distributes wine and holy bread?
Before he could say anything, the team took a few steps forward.
Ignoring the question on his lips, Kyosuke Kazato followed at the end of the line, stepping on the red carpet and chasing forward a few steps.
With this movement, he noticed the faint sound of water coming from his feet, the movement of stepping on liquid, and the small and sticky popping sound that accompanied the entire queue on the soles of everyone's feet.
Stunned, Kyosuke Kazato lowered his head and observed.
The leaf-shaped church window divides the midday sun into a colorful color, and he takes two steps forward, just stepping into the shadow of the sunlight, and thus seeing what is happening under his feet.
On the ground, between the two inlaid metal trims, the crimson floor was not the usual red carpet he thought.
It was a finger-deep layer of red liquid that gently submerged the soles of his boots, reflecting his blurred face.
With his years of surgical experience as a vouch, Kyosuke Kazado can assert-
It's blood, fresh blood.
It had just flowed out of its fresh body, and there was not a single clotted blood.
Sniffing the subtle smell of the fishy smell at the end of his nose, Kyosuke Kazato swallowed his saliva with difficulty, followed the direction of the queue, and looked towards the chapel in front of him.
The voice of the choir echoed under the dome, and the black-clad priest recited a blessed prayer and placed a small cup of red liquid and a white sheet in the hands of each believer.
After the delivery, he would walk back to the pulpit, take the new sacrament from the cross, and walk off the stage.
He repeated this action over and over again, tirelessly, with a kind of fanaticism on his face, as if his faith had found some solace in this repetitive action.
As the people in the team received their things one by one and took their seats on the benches on both sides, Kyosuke Kado, finally saw everything on the stage.
Like a stage, behind the pulpit, many above the seats, a huge cross hangs from the top and hangs there.
In the center of the cross, a man with a simple cloth cloth around his body is nailed to his hands and feet, and he is fastened to it.
His face and limbs, except for the parts that were pierced by iron nails, were intact, so that people could identify him at a glance - this was Tang Zezhao.
However, starting from his neck, his entire body was completely dissected and sliced, like an animal being slaughtered, and his already missing internal organs were exposed to the air.
Blood continued to flow from his dissected abdomen, down the white steps of the pulpit, over the rocky floor, into the grooves, and down to Kyosuke Kado's feet, forming a carpet of blood.
β¦β¦ He's even alive.
Seeing Tang Zezhao's gently fluttering eyelids and the heart in his chest that was still pumping, Kyosuke Kazedo felt a tightening of his stomach, and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his mouth to suppress the feeling of nausea.
Going back and forth with the team and the priest on the stage, the actions he was doing also got closer and closer, and completely fell into the eyes of Kyosuke Kazeto.
He kept picking up the empty cup from Tang Zezhao's bloodstream, picked up the scalpel on the side, carefully and slowly, cut off a thin piece from the missing organ, and then put it into the holy water to wash it, and then took another cup of liquid and white bread slices, and walked off the stage with a kind smile.
This time, Kyosuke Kazato also saw the face of the black-clothed priest clearly.
The golden eyes are a little weird, and the neat robe on his body is very unfamiliar, but that face undoubtedly belongs to Kyosuke Kado's own face.
ββββ
"Ahh
Hearing this frightened and frightened scream, Tang Ze, who was studying the blood carpet on the ground as he walked, glanced forward interestingly.
"It's as if he's seen himself." Squinting his eyes and smiling, Tang Ze said viciously, "It seems that I don't like my work very much, and I look very disappointed." β
"Maybe it's called being so perverted that it's unbearable for me." Hoshikawa Terupi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile.
Even if he fully understood the religious meaning of this scene, the disgust and anger that should be generated were not lacking at all.
"It's clear that Kyosuke Kazeto is not a Christian, so the temple has such religious meanings...... It's even more interesting to think of the question of him trying to kill someone in the church where the wedding was held. Since it is the easiest to blend into the hospital, Narumi Asai, who has been in and out several times, has already passed that emotional stage, and he commented in a matter-of-fact manner.
"This must be because my father's theory has actually become a religion to redeem his spirit. As for the sacrament...... Tang Ze snorted twice, "Perhaps, this is the actual scene that is particularly in line with his mind 'Tang Zezhao's usage'." β
This Kyosuke Kaze is too.,You have the ability to compare in your heart.,Don't scream if you have the ability?
You see yourself scared, fussed.
"Christ used his body and blood as bread and wine to give himself to believers as 'divine bread.'" Akemi Miyano calmly analyzed, "And the only people who have the right to consecrate Holy Communion are priests who have received the divine gifts. This Kyosuke Kazeto is really good at putting gold on his face. β
"That's his strongest ability. I suspect that as an antisocial personality, the reason for his appearance has nothing to do with the evil in his hands, and may simply be a personality distortion brought about by self-righteousness. He's really a guy who can find face for himself. Tang Ze spread his hands, "Even if I have emphasized it again and again, he may still feel that this meeting is an assessment set up by the organization for him alone." I really take myself seriously. β
Although in terms of narcissism, Kyosuke Kazato is difficult to rank first in this world, but in the field of self-inflicted amorousness, he still has the right to occupy a place.
"If we don't hurry up, those unfriendly shadows will tear this 'godless' creature to shreds." Narumi Asai reminded kindly.
"You're right." Tang Ze nodded yes, and the pace under his feet became a little slower, fully indicating that he really didn't want to be saved, and just wanted to see this stupid fork die.
He even took out his phone distractedly and carefully opened his mailbox.
Almost the moment the screen was lit up, the surging news made his phone ring for a while, and it was almost hot.
"Ahem...... "After only looking at two of them, Tang Ze put away his phone casually and cleared his throat, "Let's hurry up and see Kyosuke Kazeto." The play hasn't finished yet, don't kill people here. β
ββββ
"Vomit ......"
Unable to restrain the feeling of nausea, Kyosuke Kado's trembling hands could no longer grasp the wine and holy bread handed over, and the two things fell into a pool of blood at his feet in the next instant.
This quiet movement is like pressing the pause button for the whole scene.
The chanting stopped, the holy scriptures in the priest's mouth, and even the gushing of blood.
ββ¦β¦ Disrespectful sinners. As if he didn't recognize his face at all, Kyosuke Kazato maintained the demeanor of a priest and looked down at his other self who was sitting on the ground.
"Why did you step in if you didn't respect the Lord?" Looking at Kyosuke Kazeto, who was embarrassed and fell in a pool of blood, the priest Kazeto frowned deeply, "Before the ceremony begins, you should first confess to me devoutly, and then fast for a few days according to the depth of your guilt before you can come in and receive Holy Communion...... If you can't do it, your great sins don't deserve to be borne by the Lord for you. β
"Lord ......" Kyosuke Kazato wiped the fishy, hot blood from his face and looked with some fear at the huge flower window behind the pulpit.
One on the left and one on the right, dressed in the robes of mythical figures, with a sad and sad expression, Ichikawa Karasawa and Leona Karazawa are painted on a huge flowered window, standing in front of them, and the bright scorching sun casts their shadows on the benches on both sides, falling on the faces of the believers, as if they have been divided into countless pieces by these people.
In the middle of the moment, Tang Zezhao, who was dying and hanging there with his eyes closed, also slowly opened his eyes with the words of the priest Fengto.
It was a pair of inorganic, golden eyes, and the next moment, it was locked on Kyosuke Kazeto.
"You don't respect the Lord, you don't respect the blood shed by the Son for me sinners, you don't deserve to step here." The priest who stood in front of him, looking at him condescendingly, spat out a thunderous proclamation, "Expelled disrespectful sinners." β
At this moment, not only Tang Zezhao on the cross, but also the statues in the entire church, as well as the believers on the benches on both sides, all stood up quietly and looked straight at Kyosuke Kazeto.
"Expelled out." Tang Zezhao opened his mouth and said.
"Expelled out." The priest Kazuto spoke.
"Expulsion!" All the people spoke.
The sound of glass shattering came, and Karasawa Ichikawa and Karasawa Leona, whose faces were covered by golden masks, stepped down from the flower window, and the sculptural human shape, which was four or five meters tall, stepped directly on Kyosuke Kado, who was slumped on the ground.
"Help, helpββ!" When the real attack hit, Kyosuke Kazeto, who was shocked by the scene, stood up with a roll, no longer caring about the traces of embarrassment on his face, stepping on the carpet of blood, and running hard in the direction he came.
What the hell is this, what the hell is this place?!
Was this also a hallucination, the same as the one he saw in the amusement park today? So, that organization is constantly oppressing his spirit throughout the whole process?!
Trying to tell himself that these were fakes, Kyosuke Kazato instinctively rushed forward.
The strong sense of crisis and fear made him dare not stop, so he could only run as hard as he could, trying to escape from this strange church.
No one stopped him, not even the two tall idols.
He just ran forward, fleeing, instinctively driven forward.
Until, suddenly, there was a violent tugging sensation in his ankle.
Kyosuke Kazato froze, looking down at his feet.
A pair of slender hands, sticking out of a pool of blood, stained with scarlet hue, grabbed the thick boots he had prepared to pursue his victims.
"Doctor Kaze......" Tang Ze's voice came, "aren't you trying to save me?" Why, do you want to run? β
Well, the new addition is worse than yesterday, and it is not surprising that it is pounced
Make do with it, lie down
