Volume 1: First Encounter with Egypt Chapter 16: The Realm of God

On the street outside the inn, it was just a faint light, and the pedestrians on the road were in twos and threes, and everything was still deserted.

At the end of the road, a magnificent morning glow has appeared, and wisps of cooking smoke float from the rooftops of nearby houses. Wrapped in the mystical color of the rising sun, the temple not far away is like a mirage, like an illusion.

Suddenly, a person discovered the anomaly, and people from the neighborhood gathered around one after another, forming a lively small group. There was a horrified look on their faces, as if something horrific had happened to them.

I saw two corpses lying on the ground, their whole bodies burned to black coal, they couldn't see their original appearance, and their faces were hideous. People were pointing at the corpses and whispering.

"They were also burned alive, just like the soldiers who had died before. ”

"Is it a ghost fire again?"

"What the hell is that?"

"What do you think...... Is it possible...... It has something to do with the murders that happened on this street...... That's the soul that came back for revenge......"

There was a brief silence in the crowd, perhaps touching some kind of memory at the same time, and contemplating such a possibility.

But the silence lasted only a short time, and was soon drowned out by the discussion.

"Why doesn't the Ghost Fire enter the temple?"

"How could it possibly get in, the door was tightly closed. ”

"No, no, no, how can it not get in, the gate wall is nothing to it, that's because there is a god clan stationed inside!"

The crowd was talking to each other, and no one knew more than the other, but everyone was just guessing.

At this time, a bald burly man walked in, with a scar on the left side of his face, a prickly mustache, and a confident expression on his face.

He squeezed his way through the crowd to the front, not surprised by the tragedy before him, but with a scoffing reaction to the discussion, he cleared his throat and interrupted the argument.

"Have you ever seen a ghost fire? ”

"Hey, Zachary, are you going to start making up your story again?" burst into laughter from the crowd.

For their teasing, the big man named Zachary had already developed immunity, and said confidently without blushing and heartbeat: "You know a fart, I always tell the facts I saw and heard, and I won't tell you that I found something strange about last night's incident." ”

"Then you can tell me about it! It just so happens that we are bored!" the crowd burst into laughter one after another.

Gazing around as if making eye contact before a speech, Zachary grabbed the audience's attention and whetted their appetite, and he said slowly, "I heard other voices last night besides the cries for help. ”

His speech was quickly interrupted, and people interjected: "You are less here, you live so far away, how can you hear clearly!"

"Didn't you already know that my hearing was unusually sensitive? I heard all the voices last night! I'm afraid you won't believe it!"

"You say, you say, believe it or not. ”

As if intent on creating an atmosphere of mystery, Zachary lowered his voice and said, "Last night, I heard the soldiers shouting for help, and besides, I heard a voice telling them to stop, hurry up. ”

The crowd that had been lively was now becoming silent, and everyone gasped.

"Do you mean that the fire is talking?" the man laughed out loud, softening the atmosphere.

"No, I've told you before, but no one believes it, these so-called ghost fires are simply tricks to deceive people, and the real manipulator behind the scenes is the person who hides, and it is that person who speaks. Zach said in a non-descriptive tone.

"Then you should analyze who that person might be. ”

"As far as I know, the only person who can master these evil spells is the messengers of the Hades, and I have heard that these people practice forbidden spells on a daily basis, and they can call the wind and rain, and the earth is shocking, and they are highly skilled. ”

"Forget it, this is all your personal speculation, have you ever seen anyone other than the ghost fire?" Even the soldiers who were lucky enough to have saved their lives said that they had never seen anyone show up," the man who answered looked at Zachary, and then said in a disdainful tone, "And what if this is a messenger of the Hades! can it be compared to the omnipotent and supreme god?"

As soon as these words came out, there were echoing voices from the crowd.

"Yes, yes, yes, not an opponent at all!"

"Moreover, the High God has sent the Night Watch to deal with this matter, and it is impossible for the Lord Night Watch to be the opponent of the Night Watch if it is a ghost fire or an evil Hades emissary. ”

Zachary, who had been interrupted for a moment, found an opportunity to speak out loud.

"And that's not all, there's more to discover," he said when people's attention was refocused on him, "I also heard the man shouting, 'Dead dog, mad dog, wait for me,' as if he didn't even spare the dog, and it was cruel." ”

"No!" several young women in the crowd cried out in surprise.

"Looks like we're going to have to take care of our dogs. ”

"But why didn't you see the dog's carcass!" said the man who had been carrying the bar with Zachary, and threw out a question sharply.

"I don't know, maybe it's somewhere else and hasn't been found yet......"

"Look at it, what's there to see!" and disperse at the same time!" a few soldiers rudely pushed away from the crowd of onlookers, and shouted that everyone immediately moved away from the scene, and the people walked away without loss.

The inn was still a short distance from the temple, and Wu Tian took Elizabeth on the road, watching the gradually lively streets return to the bustling scene, full of human breath, as if last night's haunting incident was just an insignificant episode, and everything returned to normal.

Walking through that dead end, Wu Tian couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, this small alley that saved him was shining in the sun at the moment.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large area of closely connected houses directly opposite the temple in front, there is not a trace of gap space, all the houses are next to each other, impermeable, and there is no extra alley fork, except for a straight and wide street in front of the temple.

As a gathering place for a prosperous and prosperous city, the temple covers a very large area, and the main road in front of it is so long that there is no end in sight.

A tan-skinned woman with a look of surprise on her face walked straight into her face, and headed straight for Elizabeth, but without success.

She stopped two meters away, for Elizabeth was already grinning and ready to pounce forward, and she was very vigilant.

"Sit down, no politeness. Under Wu Tian's reprimand, Elizabeth relented.

"What a pretty dog!" she exclaimed as she stood in the distance, her eyes fixed on Elizabeth.

"Yes, I think so too," Wu Tian scratched his head and smiled stupidly, "You can get closer and touch it." ”

The woman shook her head hesitantly.

"You can rest assured, with me, it will never dare to be presumptuous. ”

She approached slowly with trepidation, trembling and stretching out her right hand, touching the dog's back and immediately taking it away, not daring to make a mistake in Elizabeth's silence.

The woman looked at Wu Tian with envious eyes, and even had a jealous charm in it.

"Your dog is so beautiful, but I've never seen it before. ”

"Well, because we've come from far away and plan to have some fun, it's normal that we haven't seen it. ”

"I see, let me show you around, just in time to show you the sights of the neighborhood. She volunteered, but all her attention was on Elizabeth.

Maybe the drunkard didn't mean to be in the bar, Wu Tian smiled and accepted her suggestion.

"My name is Virginia, what about you, and this dog?"

"My name is Wu Tian and my name is Elizabeth. ”

"Ah......h

Looking at the other party's fuss, Wu Tian smiled awkwardly.

The houses on the opposite side of the temple were opening one after another, and he asked, "Virginia, why is it not inconvenient for this long row of houses in front of the temple to be close to each other, without alleys and forks?"

"How can this be said to be inconvenient, everything is arranged by the Most High God, He gives all things in the world, He is perfect, His reign is flawless, in front of the temple dedicated and worshipping Him, of course alleys and forks are not allowed, there can always be only one street, the street that belongs to God. We call this path the 'realm of God' and no one can infringe upon it. Even the houses on this avenue are not allowed to be occupied, only for commercial purposes. Virginia's answer was yes and there can be no doubt.

"So there is still such a saying...... Wu Tian muttered in a low voice.

Virginia gazed at the endless street and said indignantly: "It is precisely because of the sacredness of this street that the recent frequent haunting incidents have all been concentrated here, and they have launched a positive protest and challenge to the 'realm of the gods', so that sooner or later they will be condemned and punished by the supreme god!"

Wu Tian looked at her furious, full of extreme dissatisfaction with the haunting incident, and extremely angry at the defilement that this behavior had brought to the gods.

This reaction did not surprise him, but he thought that the feelings brought to him by a series of people and events had already proved that people's love and worship of God had reached an overwhelming level.

Like Virginia, Wu Tian looked out at the streets with no end in sight, thinking back to the flight of the soldiers and him and Elizabeth last night.

Although this long street is revered as the realm of the gods, in Wu Tian's view, this road may be more like the length of a person's life for the unfortunate people who encounter ghost fires at night.

What about me, where can my life be extended...... Wu Tian asked himself.
