Chapter 86 The First Miracle: The Twisted Father
A suicide note that is quite complete.
It was old, yellowed and a little gray, with a surface covered with dust, and was placed on a well-preserved table.
The person who wrote it became the skeletons all over the ground, and some of the skeletons were still in the clothes on chairs, and it was obvious that they had been dead for a long time.
Because this paper looks extremely brittle under the erosion of time, Colin had no intention of touching it.
After asking Li Chou to help him collect the body, Colin lifted the lantern on top of the paper and leaned forward slightly to check the contents above.
This is a strange font similar to cuneiform.
With the comprehensive help of the system's "machine flip" and prompts, Colin roughly understood the above meaning:
The plague broke out again, and the church gave up on us. Not only did they not allow us to contact the priest, but they were even unwilling to send a knight to come...
They tell us that if we are devout believers of "Mother of Suffering and Thorns", miracles will come in pain and despair...
These high-sounding guys have completely distorted the church and misinterpreted the truth of the first miracle "Twisted the Father"...
These damn group...
Damn it...
...
The handwriting behind was messy and the paper was cut, all filled with negative emotions and a lot of despair...
"The first miracle 'Twisted Father'..."
Colin's eyes focused on this word, and for almost a moment, he remembered the sculpture enshrined in the church outside.
The image of the man with disheveled hair, thin body, and was bound to a thorny tree in an extremely abused and exaggerated manner.
[After you guessed, the "Twisted Holy Father" may be the name represented by the statue. In the Age of Suffering, he was called the First Miracle and the First Miracle. It was the beginning of all "suffering" and created this era.]
"Is this first miracle the meaning of succession? I thought it was strength and weakness. Of course, if he was alive, he would not be much weaker..."
Colin made a simple judgment, after all, the hint described him in a very high style.
The beginning of the era of suffering, the first victim, the first miracle, the beginning of all suffering...
It sounds so awesome no matter how you hear it...
Then, for some reason, Colin took out the parchment and looked at it.
In the task list, his "civilized investigator"'s personal progress has jumped from about 0:002% to about 0:001%.
Pushed two decimal points directly forward.
However, in terms of overall progress, the entry standards still do not meet the entry standards, indicating that the current global survey progress does not even have one percent.
"It's a pity that there is only one name and no more content. If you learn more about the life story of the "Twisted Holy Father", the progress will probably soar."
Colin felt a little regretful.
Just a name can advance three decimal points. What if he wants to dig out all the details of his life and gossip?
No, why do I feel like I have become a paparazzi?
Colin complained, shook his head, and did not think too much about it. Only then did he pay attention to the contents of the suicide note.
"plague..."
He recalled the appearance of these skeletons, all of which were gnawed to death by mice, as if they were not related to the plague...
The remains of some people after their deaths were lying on the ground, stretching their hands forward, as if they were eager for rescue at the last moment of their lives.
Then the rodents gnawed it cleanly, leaving only the skeletons, and none of them seemed to die of illness.
What does this have to do with the plague?
"It's a rat disaster."
Colin muttered, then he felt confused, "Since it's a rat disaster, where are the rats?"
Not to mention mice, he had never seen even the hairs of rats or even the footprints of rats. Apart from the traces of rodents on the bones, there was no such thing as rats.
He carefully opened the next page of the extremely crisp paper, and found that the back was blank.
"But then again, even if this number of mice is still alive, they should have been starved to death, right?"
A wave of rats raging across the town appeared in Colin's mind. In theory, they would definitely starve to death without food.
But when he thought of another thing, he rejected his thoughts.
Next door is an "olive girl" who can make hundreds of thousands of olive trees survive every day by crying.
It is not incomprehensible that many "miracle boys" or "girls" who will make tens of millions of mice survive after crying.
After all, these two sides are quite close...
"Well, if there were no white fog, these areas might not be too close to each other... This fog seems to have made the space layered..."
There seemed to be a storm of thinking in Colin's brain, but the problem was still not solved...
Where did the mouse go?
[You realize that these mice are not ordinary, they seem to have killed everyone by some mysterious means.]
"Mysterious means..."
Colin had to give up thinking. He could no longer make any breakthroughs in this regard. He could only collect more information and see if there was any new content.
"But it seems that one thing is basically certain..."
Colin sorted out the minds of his brain, "The church is deliberately creating suffering, which leads to a 'miracle', and then...recycling?"
Otherwise, it would be hard for Colin to explain why they are so inhumane.
Or to the upper class, the lives of ordinary people are not worth anything at all. No matter how much they die, as long as a "miracle" occurs, all sacrifices are valuable.
That's why Colin saw them so inhumane.
The church refused to rescue this time, probably with the same purpose...
Just like Kimino.
I just don’t know if there is a “miracle” happening in this city.
Immediately, Colin shook his head. This behavior... no matter how you understand it, it's stupid to criticize...
As the exploration continues, Colin is getting more and more historical information...
But he was still confused about what happened to the mouse.
There are many suicide notes in the town, but most of them are not valuable. Most of them are praying for the gods to bring miracles, or what they want to eat before they die, or who they want to see after they die...
There are also suicide notes that actually beg for something to happen to a wife next door before she dies.
What we say is all kinds of strange things, including open-mindedness, despair, and hysteria.
The only thing that is certain is that they all understand what they are about to face, and the disaster is very sudden, and everyone dies without even having time to make more preparations.
"Now, let's make a simple judgment. This town should have gathered 10,000 or 20,000 people at that time..."
A person who cannot be said to be too many, but certainly not small.
...
The investigation continued, and as Colin saw more and more information left behind, he had a little brow at the source of the mice.
"'The sounds inside the wall are getting louder and louder. When they are coming, they are coming!"... Inside the wall..."
Collin pondered, at this moment, he stood in a collapsed house, looking at the "authorized letters" on the table that seemed to be locked out with his fingernails...
