39. Church in the town
"How many are these?"
Aisha looked at the "fragments" in her hand with some disappointment - the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and it seemed that the only part that was really useful was the original part of Lao Zhao. Anyway, Aisha has traveled all over the world during this time, and after searching for the whereabouts of the so-called "holy weapons", she has not made any substantial progress at all.
Seriously, in this world where it is just a place to stay, it is extremely rare to be able to find a fragment related to the "time" attribute, and it is still too unrealistic to expect another fragment related to the power of the Holy Spirit to explode?
Harvesting a large number of scattered fragments of power, Aisha found that these were basically inconsequential abilities - perhaps such fragments, even if placed in their own world, could make ordinary people salivate, but in Aisha's opinion, they were completely meaningless.
"Wet sauce, we're about to offend most of the forces in this world these days. ”
Aisha went straight to the door without being polite, and for those who did not cooperate, she naturally resorted to violent means to "persuade" them...... In just a few days, Aisha and Lin have almost ransacked most of the world, and both of them have been blacklisted by various organizations.
Naturally, there are pursuits and encirclements, but when the number of people who are "damaged" in the hands of the two exceeds three digits, basically all the places that have been "patronized" by them are unwilling to swallow the anger in their hearts, and they temporarily choose to swallow their anger - challenge the enemy who cannot win, and lose their manpower in vain. It can only lead to further damage to the already weakened strength. Even if everyone is unwilling, it is impossible to take risks when being looked around.
"Aren't there people who have basically not killed them? Why are there so many complaints......
"Probably because our cousin is too presumptuous, right? This time, we acted like fishing in a fish pond that they had contracted for many years...... No, this is already a fried fish process...... Therefore, it is reasonable that they can't stand it. ”
"Hmph, they'll be thanking us in a few years!" Aisha snorted with some disdain, she was naturally aware of the psychology of those who were angry and corrupt - these people possessed extraordinary power for ordinary people. But in terms of mentality, most of them have long lost their normal heart. The fragments that were "snatched" away by Aisha were not their own. It was because of luck that I got it at the beginning, and the day I lost it was inevitable sooner or later. However, these people are holding on to it and refusing to let go. Apparently he was already deeply intoxicated by this vain power.
Their high profile, their sense of superiority. It's all based on that extraordinary supernatural power, don't look at their unbeatable appearance in the past, in fact, a huge house, there is only one load-bearing wall. When this load-bearing wall collapsed, it also fell with their fragile self-esteem.
It may sound strange - there are so many "holy weapons", are all the bearers so unbearable, but sadly, this is exactly the truth.
In the true sense of the word, it can be regarded as having a normal heart. It's just Lao Zhao alone...... At first, Aisha was surprised, but thought about it. But he found that this was also a matter of course - the fragment held by Lao Zhao had the most special power of time, and with the help of it, he had lived for more than a hundred years. And the people who were able to do so at the same time as him had basically passed away due to the longevity of the human race itself, and many more had not even been able to die properly. Unlike him, the other fragments have been passed down for two or three generations or even more.
Don't forget jì, this is a fragment stripped from the body of an "evil god", which itself is very tempting and can easily corrode a person's mind. The first generation, because they were all connected by these fragments at birth, the children's minds were very simple, but they resisted the initial erosion.
The people who inherited these fragments later, because they were all "adults" with a more systematic cognition, whether it was evil thoughts or obsessions, were far beyond children, and it was not incomprehensible to be hit one after another.
And now, Lao Zhao summoned the doppelganger projection of the evil god who caused this qiē in the first place, and defeated her smoothly, and under the silent push of the will of the world, it was tantamount to severing most of the connection between the world and the annoying evil god with a single sword. These fragments, which imprinted some of her powers, will naturally lose their restraint and gradually enter the stage of self-violence—within a few years, these fragments will be able to "grow" enough to devour their "master".
Well, it's hard to say whether it's a "master" or a "slave".
"Well, when my mother ordered me not to spend too much time playing on the computer and pay more attention to my studies, I was also complaining about her...... Now what you are doing is not essentially the same thing?Don't worry, the bear child will not appreciate it~"
"Having said that, I still feel very uncomfortable to see these fragments of power, more or less innocent blood and resentment on them—even if it can be said that these powers come from the body of the 'evil god', but at the root, these powers were not born for fighting...... It is not used to bully the weak. ”
That's why Aisha behaves so unkindly.
Lin could also see that Aisha was really angry because of this. Don't look at Aisha's usual appearance, but she actually hates the act of bullying innocent weaklings because she has superior strength - in such a situation, Aisha is very willing to use her own strength to let the other party experience the feelings of the weak who was bullied by herself.
This phenomenon is even stricter than in another world where swords and magic exist.
Although Lin usually encountered many bullying villains, in the end, it was not as strict as here—at least, there was very little case of treating ordinary people who had little ability to resist as livestock! Perhaps, it was precisely because there were no such elements to strengthen personal ability here. After getting it all of a sudden, many people don't see themselves as human beings, right?
Lynn can be sure that in another world. There is almost no such thing as a bastard with the idea of "being ashamed of being a man". And here, after "ascending to heaven," some people feel very good about themselves, and they feel that they are no longer the kind of "weak human beings" after they have "ascended to heaven."
Sometimes, Lynn herself is angry. Not to mention, the "job" is still the Holy Spirit's Aisha - of course, Aisha rarely sulks alone. The channel for venting, naturally, is the stupid people who sent it to them to beg for a beating.
"Wet sauce, are we going to continue searching for these fragments?"
"Go on, though hopelessly. But if you don't finish looking for it thoroughly. I'm going to feel very uncomfortable. ”
"So where do we go next? According to the message from Qiaoqiao, we have three places to go after that. ”
Lao Zhao handed over the industry he had worked hard for half of his life to Su Qiaoqiao, which was just right to help Aisha and Lin find out some hidden news and rumors. After all, the most initial can also be regarded as the strongest ability, Lao Zhao has been in business for half his life, and the intelligence network left behind is also very perfect. In the case of "holy vessels", even the information provided is richer than that of state organs.
This is the fundamental reason why Aisha and the others are so accurate.
"Hmm. I'll see what else is there...... Huh?"
Aisha let out a sigh of surprise.
In the information handed over by Su Qiaoqiao, Aisha suddenly found something very interesting. This exclamation. It also attracted Lynn's attention and curiosity.
"Wet sauce, did you find anything?"
"Found something very interesting...... Lynn, it's decided, let's go to France first this time. ”
====================
In the past 100 years, countless people living in remote and isolated rural towns have tried their best to squeeze their heads into the city. But in this era, it seems that because the hustle and bustle of the city is getting stronger and stronger, the number of people who yearn for a fresh rural town is gradually increasing.
Although I really want them to move somewhere. Few people would want to, but that doesn't stop people from yearning for a quiet and peaceful life – in fact, it's life itself that keeps people from escaping the city.
For most families who are just above the level of food and clothing, escaping the city is really an overwhelming luxury. However, although it is impossible to really escape from the city, it is still possible to take the time to go to the country town, feel the customs over there, and purify your soul~
As a result, in their spare time, more and more people began to set off towards those remote towns. This makes those originally quiet towns gradually become lively - maybe for the people in the city, they yearn for tranquility and nature, but for the small town residents living here, they hope that more people will come here, bring excitement and happiness at the same time, but also bring more wealth and consumption, right?
In the French countryside, there is such a small town. Its geographical environment is not too remote, but the surrounding natural scenery is beautiful and peaceful, and the transportation is quite convenient, and it has gradually become a relatively popular tourist destination over the years. Not only the locals, but gradually travelers from other countries, and even from other continents, have left their mark on this small French country town.
People have begun to get used to hearing a lot of foreign languages that they don't understand at all, and they are gradually getting used to seeing people of all colors. Anyway, as long as you come here with a friendly attitude and a heavy wallet, I believe that not many people will hate it, right?
While the town is becoming more and more lively, there is a place in the town that is still insulated from the "bustle" and "hustle and bustle".
It was a church that looked a little dilapidated, but it was still in operation today.
Of course, such a small church in a country town is absolutely impossible to be so magnificent and magnificent. Moreover, with the development of the times, in various countries in Europe, the church is no longer the center of a region, many places. Some chapels have struggled to maintain even basic functions and have gradually been transformed into tourist attractions with a historical atmosphere.
The same is true of the church in this town...... But looking at its appearance, it is said that it is considered desolate. After all, that tattered and crumbling appearance exudes a smell of "hanging down" all over his body.
However, it is still operating.
Although the church building is dilapidated, the vegetation and flowers in the courtyard have obviously been carefully repaired, even if there are weeds on the ground. They are all meticulously trimmed, which can definitely make those patients with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder feel refreshed.
Not to mention, its gates. It has never been closed.
Every visitor who has ever been curious about this place will be told that if it is not necessary, try not to disturb it. So what counts as "necessary"?
When outsiders ask such questions, they will always be replied with such an answer - when they are confused.
Reputedly. When you're confused. When you really want to hear the answer, you can meet a mysterious nun in this ruined church. She listens to her troubles and points her way.
Not to mention whether this mysterious statement is reliable, but anyway, most foreign tourists are joking, in short, it is regarded as a wonderful legend and not taken seriously. Anyway, there is no real rule in the town, and you must not enter this church. How about going in and seeing?
The result, of course, is nothing.
However, it is said that there are also people. I really met the mysterious nun in the legend, and I really got the answer to the doubts in my heart...... Unbelievers are naturally skeptical, but those who have experienced this qiē can't say why when asked about the details.
Because, that feeling, it's like ...... Like a dream?
"Doesn't that sound like a strange thing, and it's not scary at all, but it feels a little warm and sacred. ”
After arriving in this town, Aisha and Lin naturally went straight to the goal of this trip, which was the deserted and dilapidated church. Of course, the two also heard rumors about this church...... Unlike ordinary tourists, Aisha and Rin, to put it bluntly, are here for the rumored mysterious nun.
Because Aisha and Lin are able to use magic to understand the meaning of the speaker's expression, and are not affected by the language barrier, they are also given more information from the townspeople.
In fact, the church was destroyed during the turmoil and fighting of the First World War, and even the priest was killed in the fire. But more than 20 years later, in the midst of another, even more terrible disaster, the church was inhabited by a new owner.
The details are no longer available, after all, it was during World War II, and it was also during the fall of France, not to mention the age, and the information was fragmented because of the war...... One thing is certain, for example, in those days there lived a kind nun who was very skilled in medicine, and treated many of the inhabitants who had been wounded and sick during the war free of charge.
Many things can be forged, and many things can perish. But good deeds and good intentions alone cannot be forged or destroyed. Those who might have died tragically in the war survived, and this kindness has always been in their hearts.
However, after the end of the war, they found that they could no longer find the beautiful and kind nun they had been.
When they were saddened to think that maybe the nun had left, or even died in the war...... But some people said that in this church, they saw the original nun. However, no matter how much people searched, they could not find her, as if they did not want to be disturbed.
So, on this basis, there are many different versions of the legend. Some say that the other party is the incarnation of a god, some believe that she is a hidden master, and there are even theories that the nun is a witch who has been alive since the Middle Ages...... But in any case, from time to time, someone claims to have seen the mysterious nun, and for the old man of this town, it can be regarded as confirming the mystery of the church, right?
Although the old people who lived through that era have gradually passed away, the mysterious legend of this church has been passed down. Young people no longer have much reverence for it, but they add a romantic color to the legends there...... In short, the legend of being able to confess under the cherry blossom tree in the church courtyard gradually flourished.
"Sure enough, there are people. ”
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard of the church, Lynn felt as if her body had passed through a transparent membrane - it was supposed to be a very simple barrier, and the function it played was not something of a defensive or resistive nature, but it was used to soothe people's feelings and make it easier for people to calm down.
It can be seen that the owner here is not too wary of outsiders, and his attitude is quite friendly.
"This kind of enchantment is set up, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere......"
Lin had a feeling that she had a certain familiarity with the enchantment here, but for a while she couldn't remember where she had encountered it.
"Of course you think it's familiar—because it's a unique technique of the succubus. Not only are they very good at breaking enchantments, but they are actually very strong in terms of settings. ”
"Eh, succubus, ...... of our world?"
"yes, if it's not bad, it should be the little guy who got lost, right?" (To be continued......)
