Chapter 8: Sinners
"The second son walked on the fertile ground, and when he stooped down, he hung down the ears of wheat, and he could pluck sweet fruits with his hand, and there were countless cattle and sheep in the valley. ”
The shepherd's father warned him not to go to the cave, or he would bring suffering to the earth. ”
The second son didn't know what the suffering was, day after day, after all, he couldn't hide his curiosity, and went to the cave, and the suffering came to the earth. ”
"The demon spirit that cannot see the light in the dark says to people, "If you release suffering, the sin of suffering will attach to you, and you can only escape it if you become a different image. ”
The second son, listening to the demon's words, took on a different form, making it ugly and attracting sin, so that his true form could be kept away from it. - "Divine Words: The Age of Divine Revelation"
Adam was eating pickles, leaning against the bookshelf, looking at another copy of the Prophetic Word, and in the distance, Master Alva was sleeping in a chair, snoring.
Today I followed the church after a long morning, and Adam was allowed to read some books here at noon.
I have to say that the popular education of the Holy Sound Church is still doing a good job, and every once in a while, a monk will go to every house to explain the "Divine Word" to them, and teach children to read and write by the way.
It's just that perhaps because of the increase in the threshold of the seminary, there are fewer and fewer monks who are willing to teach in this way, and for those monks, who spend a lot of money to enter the seminary, why should they teach it to others for free, even if it is a skin, they feel that it is a loss.
What's more, after the threshold is raised, those who can enter the seminary are either wealthy businessmen or aristocrats, and these two kinds of people are not very kind to the commoners, and their essence determines their attitude towards the commoners.
Adam put down the book in his hand, and the passage in the book can be said to explain the origin of these werewolf aliens.
Disguised to bear the sin, the xenos are considered to be inherently sinful, so regardless of the outward manifestations of the xenos, if the monks find the xenos, most of them choose to kill them and return them to dust.
To exist is to have sin.
In the afternoon, Alva's measurements seemed to be at the end, and Adam followed behind him, noticing something else.
As a result of the church's renovation work, some of the believers' baptismal services were placed in the side hall, and Adam observed that there was one congregation that stood out from the rest.
Similar to the ordinary devotees, the devotee worships in a very formal way, entering through the main entrance, cleansing his hands, face, ears, and then meditating on his heart, then kneeling in front of the idol with his hands over his eyes and listening carefully to the holy sounds.
After doing all this, he covered his ears, recited the prophecy, walked towards the idol, and went out through the door under the idol.
The worship was no different, but Adam noticed that while doing all this, the believer smelled of sweat, and the smell of sweat was mixed with some familiar smell.
"Do you endure the pain of the xenos who come to worship?" Adam knew very well what the results of the xenomorph worship would be, that is, the whole body was resisting, as if there was a rebel army in the body rioting everywhere, which would bring intense pain to the xenos.
However, this kind of pain can be adapted, as long as the number of times is enough, then it is estimated that it will be just a pain and a sweat all over the body, and it will not faint or show more abnormalities.
Unfortunately, the smell of the man's sweat still exposed him, which had the same smell as the witch doctor and the werewolf that day, and it was estimated that he had also taken potions to cover up his anomaly.
"Is it because of fear?" Adam analyzed the psychology of the other party, and the xenomorph was considered to be a natural sinner, and the mere existence was guilty.
In the long struggle, there is not no one among the aliens who has given up their resistance, they confess their sins, and they are willing to begin atonement.
Following the word of the Prophet and becoming an ascetic, and longing for God's forgiveness day after day, these aliens gained the approval of some human monks and founded the Church of Divine Tears.
It's just that the relationship between the Church of Divine Tears and the major churches is not very good, and even some churches do not recognize it as an orthodox church and sneer at it as a cult.
That believer xenomorph was clearly not the kind of devout believer who was willing to believe in God and give everything to God, and he only came to worship in front of the idol because of the fear of death.
With the arrest of the witch doctor, the xenomorphs who have no means of concealment become more and more afraid, but they are not as completely shattered as the werewolf who attacked the execution ground, and they are bent on dying.
Therefore, this person came to worship in fear and did not stop taking potions.
This kind of belief that people do not have in essence, everything they believe in is for themselves, and the purpose is to serve themselves. Adam remembered the man's scent: "And if you take hold of this man's lifeblood, you will be able to control this man!"
"And as long as I open this gap, use him as a signboard, and condense my own momentum, I will be able to subdue more xenomorphs. "There are many people, and there are many people, and it is not just talking.
When there are more people, even if the other people are stronger than you, they still don't dare to do it, and a force will be formed invisibly to restrain the other party, and then become a member of this force.
Of course, it is not excluded that there is the possibility of being reckless, and he doesn't care about anything, just to fight for victory or loss with personal strength.
"So in the early stage, you need a sense of mystery to set off, hide your true face, and let others put their fears of themselves to the maximum. ”
"Just be careful. It was a great opportunity, but Adam wasn't going to take it lightly.
The attitude of the Holy Sound Church towards xenos is to exterminate them all, but there are always some people who will be exceptional, so it cannot be ruled out that this xenomorph in front of them is another temptation of the church.
And even if it's not a temptation, you have to figure out for yourself that the people in the church find out if there is anything abnormal about this person.
If you can use the werewolf's innate sense of smell to find that this person is a different species, then the church may have discovered this worshipper's abnormality in other ways.
If that's the case, you'll be exposing yourself.
"Can't rush it......" Adam said to himself, but he was really pressed for time right now.
After Alva had taken a look at the last wall that needed to be painted, he declared a holiday and told Adam to go wherever he wanted.
Although Alva didn't show it, Adam actually understood that the teacher actually had an opinion about him.
"For example, people who don't look down on themselves can never remember their names. "Adam is one of those people whose name is not remembered, and even after two days of being together, Alva has told him to do a lot of things, but he still hasn't really called Adam's name once.
"The person he recognizes is Flah. Adam didn't feel insulted or anything like that, he had used dirty means to get this opportunity.
Adam was aware of this, but he never regretted it or felt a troubled conscience.
That night, Adam once again transformed into a werewolf and scurried out of the attic, following the information he had gathered during the day and began to search for his target.
"The church where the man arrived in the afternoon, the smell of sweat on his body in addition to the potion also had the smell of a poisonous fog area, judging from the clothes, the person's family conditions were not very good. ”
"Judging from the other werewolf economic situation, potions are not cheap. Adam remembered the werewolf who stormed the stake at the stake, who worked hard, but was not wealthy, and had no money to marry a wife, and there were rumors in the neighborhood that the man was a gambler.
In fact, most of the man's money was used to buy medicine, and from this analogy, it can also be proved from the side that the economic situation of the xenomorph worshipper today is not very good.
Although he didn't want to go to the slums of what he called the Poison Mist District, Adam set foot here again.
An extremely strong smell wafted through the block, and Adam stood at the entrance of the block, looking up as if he could see a huge yellow-green monster lying in the air, looking at him with a sinister smile.
Public health in this era was so poor that many people considered water to be unclean, so they hardly bathed in their lives.
The civilian area is better, and there are some public toilets built by the Shengtianyin Kingdom, but the people in the slum can't manage so much, and the urine and urine are dumped directly on the street, mixed with all kinds of horse manure and compacted by the wheels, becoming a new layer of road.
Hence Adam's call the ghetto the Poison Mist Zone.
