After the convertible crossed the steel bridge and entered a two-way road, Jill had to drive through at least two kilometers to reach the small town of Silent Hill.

The further you go inside, the darker the atmosphere becomes.

Perhaps because of the mining and burning of coal, this town has an independent power plant, and the coal mined in the town will be transported to the power plant to be used as fuel.

This will cause white fog and gray smoke from burning to rise into the sky, covering most of the sunlight and making the town look gloomy.

The convertible drove through the winding path, and finally saw the corner of a building protruding from a relatively flat mountainside.

The building enlarged in front of Jill's eyes, and there were gradually more voices in front of it. The gray sky also became brighter with the colors on the ground, and the gradually rising coolness was dissipated by the crowds in the town.

Although people here rarely leave the town, their lives are not poor. The town is even quite prosperous because of the coal mines.

The town is well-equipped with schools, hospitals, and nightclubs. From birth to death, everyone can live in the town until the day they grow old and die. There will never be a shortage of jobs in the town.

People will live a prosperous and happy life here, as long as they can tolerate the gray smoke above their heads all year round... and as it happens, the residents of this small town are very good at enduring it.

Because the manager of the town has made most of the people in the town accustomed to this kind of life, as long as most people adapt, the remaining few will naturally follow the trend and continue to live in the town.

Moreover, today's technology and communication are not very developed. People in small towns do not know the beauty of the outside world, and information is not circulated. As a result, people in small towns are not so eager for the outside world.

They are full of curiosity and vigilance about everything in the outside world.

When Jill's convertible entered the town, it attracted the attention of most people in the town. Her strapless dress seemed to be too eye-catching, and the car was also very high-profile.

Some passers-by at the entrance of the town looked at Jill curiously and warily, watching her car drive away from the street, and then they began to whisper.

There is not much malice, just guessing whether Jill is a lost traveler. Occasionally, lost people will break into the town. After being reminded, they will leave, and some people will stay and take a look at this place.

An isolated town.

It's just that Jill's dress is more unique and attractive, and it fits the stereotype of people from small places to big cities.

Dressed coolly, driving a luxury car, eyes unfocused.

Gil, who has been identified as a city dweller, is driving around the town. The sunglasses on his face have been taken off. The day in the town does not look very bright, although every shop has dim lights.

It added some warmth, but it still had a cold feeling that kept strangers away.

Now that we have arrived in this town, the next task is to investigate the information in the town and see if there is a cult group.

Jill is very high-profile, that's her personality, and the group is also capable of solving problems caused by alerting others, so her first stop was the church she found out about from a young man.

The church in the town is built on a hillside deep in Silent Hill. If you want to enter the town, you must first climb more than ten meters of steps.

This lofty church is like a tower built by mortals to chase gods, trying to bathe in the so-called favor of gods in this way.

A large church was built in a small town. The area of ​​the church is close to that of a large manor. It is surrounded by spiked fences that separate the mortal world from the world of gods. The huge double wooden doors are open, like

Poetic chanting slowly came out.

Jill pulled a black trench coat from the back seat and put it on, covering the uncovered areas of the off-shoulder white top. There was a clanking sound inside the heavy trench coat, but I didn't care.

Brown boots made a clicking sound on the ground. Gil put his hands in his pockets and chewed gum in his mouth as he walked up dozens of steps to the church door.

Through the open door, she saw the scene in the church.

Several rows of benches were arranged neatly on the left and right sides behind the door. A group of men and women were holding a thick book and singing with their eyes closed.

There is an indented center in the center of the church. On the center of the circle are several devout believers kneeling. They clasp a fist with one hand and hold a fist with the other hand against their chest. They bend down and lower their heads. Their lips are murmuring and they are focused on an unknown person.

pray to the gods.

The reason why it is said to be unknown is because Jill did not see any information about Christianity in the church. The center of the indented circle is further forward, and there is a stage. On the stage stands a middle-aged man wearing purple clothes and also holding a Bible.

Broad-faced woman.

There is no religious element in her body.

What's even more concerning is that behind the woman, on the background of the stage, is a huge portrait that is not very acceptable.

A group of villagers gathered together holding torches. In front of them, in the center of the portrait, a woman was tied to a wooden ladder, hanging above piles of firewood, and was being roasted by the fire.

This huge portrait conveying distorted values ​​immediately silenced Jill. She pinched the mini submachine gun hidden in the pocket of her windbreaker and hesitated whether to go on a killing spree and try a John Wick style.

Problem solving methods.

Just thinking about her mission, she turned around and sent the message to the World Development Department remotely, planning to wait until there were more people before coming back, so that she could control the situation and protect the data.

Just when she turned around, a large amount of golden light suddenly appeared in the church, casting a shadow on Jill's body.

Jill suddenly turned around and saw a huge amount of golden light coming from the church glass window above the huge portrait. The light was so bright that it was difficult to achieve even at night under the scorching sun.

While illuminating the entire church, it can also be transmitted outside the church, creating a visual contrast between night and day during the day.

The voices of the believers in the church became louder, and some even had their voices distorted by excitement.

Fanaticism, weird fanaticism!

Jill took out her sunglasses and put them on her face, but her field of vision was still covered by this golden light. In the end, she determined that the golden light was some kind of luminous dust that was more dense than light.

After all, he had just put on sunglasses, and his field of vision was not improved, but the "golden light" directly covered those dazzling areas, making the figures shrouded in the light blurry and unclear.

This is a trick that uses physical matter to obscure people's vision.

Just like wearing sunglasses in foggy weather will reduce the visual range, Jill is a staunch scientist. She firmly believes that all unknowns are only human unknowns, not scientific unknowns.

Sooner or later, science will answer every unknown question.
