Chapter 310: The Stake(1/2)

Changes continue.

Everything in front of me seemed to have gone through thousands of years of time in an instant. The broken walls, broken stone bricks, dark iron fence surrounded by coldness, and the collapsed bell tower were all flashing back.

The noisy voices in my ears became clearer and clearer.

"Burn them!"

"How dare you do such a dirty thing in a holy place!"

"The gods will make the whole church angry because of you!"

"..."

"What's going on...?"

Cheng Shen's eyes flashed, and he saw many strange figures appearing around him and Goviya. They were all wearing black and white classical religious uniforms. There were priests and nuns, and they all looked indignant.

He wanted to move his body but found that he had been tied to a wooden stake, with firewood piled at his feet, and the liquid spilled on it gave off a strong smell of kerosene.

Also tied to the burning platform was Goviya.

She looked dazed at first, then showed a cold look on her face, and struggled hard with her hands and feet.

"Fog mirage..."

Cheng Shen scanned his surroundings to assess the situation in front of him.

"If you are injured in the surface world of nightmares, you will die. Once you are burned to death in this foggy city mirage, it will definitely mean that your soul will be destroyed... I don't know why these magicians are crazy. The top priority now is to escape from here..."

The cold, hard object stuck in the sleeve of his arm aroused Cheng Shen's thoughts. Although this sudden mirage in the fog put him in a difficult predicament, it did not affect the items he carried.

The Nightmare Blade is still there.

At this time.

A solemnly dressed priest walked up the aisle holding a torch:

"Poor Daniel, Goviya! Your two souls have been eroded by the devil's desires and tainted by evil. Only the holy fire can wash away the sins in your bodies and purify your hearts!"

"This is God's punishment, but also God's gift. It is God's incomparable tolerance towards her believers..."

"Before you are completely purified, you have one last chance to repent to the tolerant and merciful God. God knows that what you have done is not your original wish, and you can still enter the sanctuary of God..."

He said with a pitiful tone.

"Repent you **!"

Govia couldn't help cursing immediately. She heard the whispers of the people on the side and roughly understood why she and Cheng Shen were tied to the stake.

This made her feel extremely angry after being coldly rejected by Cheng Shen.

"I will not choose to commit adultery with anyone! You bunch of blind things! Hypocritical! Despicable! Shameless! You are a vicious bastard! You have been dead for eighteen hundred years and you are still restless. You are here to act like a ghost!"

She kept swearing like a barrage of curses.

Cheng Shen couldn't even listen and glanced at her, "Don't take this opportunity to criticize Sang and Huai!"

The crowd below has become excited.

"madman!"

"How evil!"

"Govia has been corrupted by the devil and is hopeless!"

"It was because her faith in God was not firm enough that the devil took advantage of her. Her soul and faith were already impure!"

"Burn these adulterers and adulterers to death!

"

"..."

The face of the priest who presided over the purification ceremony turned livid, his palms trembled, and he said sternly: "I will pronounce God's punishment on you..."

"Wait! I confess! Oh no, I confess!"

Cheng Shen shouted hurriedly.

The priest's expression softened. He stopped throwing the torch and turned to look at Cheng Shen, "What else do you want to say?"

"We were bewitched by the devil and committed unforgivable crimes. We should accept God's punishment. This is what we deserve. I sincerely repent to God, pray for my soul to be purified, and ascend to God's sanctuary..."

Cheng Shen pretended to ramble a lot.

Immediately afterwards.

His conversation suddenly changed.

"But... we are not the only ones who should be punished!"

"Pooh!"

Goviya on the side immediately guessed what he was going to do, and couldn't help but spit, secretly cursing him for being shameless.

Even ghosts lie!

"You mean there are others in the temple who have been tempted by the devil!?"

The priest's expression looked uncertain under the firelight.

"That's right! I am willing to confess everything in order to repay God for his tolerance towards us."

Cheng Shen Shen knew how to use magic to defeat magic, and she never strayed from the gods they believed in. She seemed to have become her most devout believer...

"Tell me carefully. If there is concrete evidence, the place where God's glory shines will not shelter any evil bewitched by the devil!"

The priest said seriously.

Cheng Shen turned his head and glanced at the crowd. The expressions on the faces of the believers who had harshly accused him, were so righteous, and wished they could personally go on stage to burn him to death, now had a subtle change in their expressions.

Some people subconsciously hid behind others, for fear of being seen by Cheng Shen; some people looked at him angrily, seemingly fearless, but those eyes contained more of sternness and inner turmoil.

There was a commotion among the crowd hidden in the darkness.

Cheng Shen called him a good guy from the bottom of his heart.

He just wanted to delay, but he actually got mad! Did he come to Xiaoleiyin Temple? What kind of monsters are these people!

I have an idea in my mind.

Cheng Shen looked at the nun who had yelled the loudest before, "I saw her having an affair with a believer the night before yesterday, in front of the statue!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

The nun immediately shouted in shock and anger.

Cheng Shen didn't want to hear her explanation, and continued to look at another tall believer, "I saw that he hid God's wealth secretly!"

"I, I didn't!

"

"I saw him torture and kill innocent animals, perform evil rituals, and even find statues of evil gods enshrined in his room!"

"I saw him deceive his most trusted companions, hide the credit of others, and take it as his own!"

"I also saw..."

Cheng Shen called the names in the crowd one by one. He had no intention of confronting them anyway.

They just made up random charges and covered it up.

This ghost place is a sinful place where evil spirits breed. There is evil hidden in everyone's heart.

Therefore, when Cheng Shen told about the sins a person had committed, the first reaction of others was not to question, but to subconsciously believe...

The priest's expression could no longer maintain his composure. His cold gaze swept across the crowd, and his face was filled with terrifying veins.

"Is there any evidence for what you said!?"

he asked.

"hehe."

Cheng Shen did not answer, but said, "Don't forget that you are there."

"The crimes you have committed are countless, and your hands are stained with innocent blood! Why can't we get a response from the gods? Because the people who guard the temple have long since fallen into minions of the devil!"

The conclusive look on his passionate words made even Goviya feel a little confused.

Could everything he said be true...?

wrong!

This shameless liar!

An inexplicable feeling of empathy made Goviya feel quite complicated.

On the one hand, she should be happy to see that the horror in this mirage was contained by Cheng Shen's few words.

On the one hand, she can't even stand it anymore and wants to stand up and expose it for justice...

"What nonsense are you talking about!?"
To be continued...
