Chapter 35 Religious Symbols

The four Leos did not sit in the same carriage as the men in black robes, but sat in the carriage at the end.
As the rail car left the platform, it began to accelerate. The violent vibration of the car body, coupled with the altitude of one to two hundred meters here, made people who rode this rail car feel frightened for the first time, as if the rail car would stop at any time.
It's like the car rolled over and fell to the bottom.
Jason and Nelson grabbed the edge of the car tightly and pushed their bodies down so that their buttocks could be as close to the seats as possible. Even so, they still felt unreliable, as if there was a violent vibration in the car.
It's like throwing them out of their seats.
Because Catherine often rides this kind of rail car to go to different places to diagnose and treat doctors and patients, she has long been accustomed to this kind of high-altitude rail car that looks dangerous but is actually safe. But what makes her curious is that Leo, who is sitting opposite her, also looks...
It was very calm, and he sat very firmly. Every vibration caused by the car body was accurately sensed by him in advance, and his body swayed slightly with the car, making it seem like he was clinging to the seat.
The only thing that made people feel weird was that after getting in the car, he kept his head down, as if he was looking at something in his hand, but because it was too dark in the car, he couldn't see clearly what he was holding.
"Doctor, let's change seats! I want to talk to Miss Catherine." After the rail car traveled a certain distance, Leo suddenly raised his head and said to Nelson, who was trying his best to steady his body to prevent himself from shaking.
"What?" Maybe it was because the sound of the wheels rolling over the track was too loud, or maybe because Nelson was too focused on dealing with the shaking seat, and he didn't hear Leo's words for a while.
Leo repeated what he just said.
"I have no objection. Where is Catherine?" Nelson was stunned for a moment and nodded, but he did not stand up immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Catherine, as if asking Catherine if she was willing to talk to Leo.
"Okay." Catherine's eyes looked at the king and queen on Leo's waist and agreed.
Seeing that Catherine agreed, Nelson slowly stood up from his seat, grabbed the railing in the carriage, and hunched over and moved little by little towards Leo's seat, while Leo walked as quickly as if he was walking on flat ground.
So I changed seats.
"Miss Catherine, you know the king and the queen very well." After Leo sat down, he took the initiative to find a topic that could ease the cold atmosphere between the two of them and said.
"I've seen dad use it before." Catherine smiled and said, "I once fantasized that dad would pass the queen to me, and I also fantasized that Jean Valjean would give her to me. Unfortunately, these were just fantasies. Now they are gone.
Found the owner."
Leo looked very curious and asked: "Can you tell me about dad?"
"One day my father suddenly showed up with Jean Valjean and settled down in Cage City. He is a master of machinery. There is no machinery he does not understand. He personally designed the rail car we ride on, the elevator, and the
The overwhelmed Cage City was reinforced again." When Catherine mentioned the last Wezzik, her face was full of nostalgia, and then she said with a sad and wry smile: "It was a long time after dad died.
, we didn’t know what to do, but fortunately we survived and allowed the residents of Cage City to live a better life.”
Leo could feel that Catherine's understanding of the father was only superficial. She didn't know that the father had other mysteries, so she didn't continue to ask any more questions and turned to the topic, saying: "Catherine
Miss, I have a question I really want to ask, is there anything special about Nelson?"
"Ah?" Catherine didn't understand what was going on for a moment, and looked at Leo blankly.
"Let me put it simply!" Leo looked at Catherine with a serious expression and said: "That Mr. Martin who incited us to do this operation had bad intentions from the beginning. His target was Nelson. Obviously Nelson has something wrong with him.
Something very special, and possibly related to the catacombs."
"This, this is impossible? Martin..." Catherine was obviously confused by Leo's sudden question. Her mind was a little confused and she didn't know how to answer.
Although Nelson, who was sitting opposite, focused his main attention on the shaking car out of fear, he also paid part of his attention to the conversation between Catherine and Leo, and was curious about why Leo would find someone who had never met him at this time.
Katherine who had crossed paths spoke.
It was a pity that the sound of the rail car was so loud that he couldn't hear any sound and could only see Catherine's embarrassed look. At this time, he couldn't help but wanted to stand up and ask about Catherine's situation, but when Leo raised his hand to signal
The action stopped.
"Why do you think Martin has ill intentions towards you?" Catherine sorted out her chaotic thoughts and asked Leo in a deep voice.
Leo said calmly: "Think carefully about the order in which he invited us when he encouraged us to go to the parish you mentioned."
Catherine carefully recalled the scene at that time, and the expression on her face gradually became serious, and then she could not hide her suspicion.
"You should feel weird too! Going to the parish to search for evidence is definitely dangerous, so the people who go there must be strong and capable of fighting." Leo said, while he, Jason, and Nelson
The three of them gestured to each other and said: "If it were your choice, you have a dangerous and important person, who would you choose first among the three of us?"
Catherine had begun to believe Leo's words, but she still had doubts in her heart, saying: "But Nelson came to visit me suddenly. I didn't know he would come beforehand. Martin had never had contact with Nelson before. He
Why suddenly target Nielsen?"
"This is also something I want to know." Leo said in a deep voice: "Judging from the previous situation, Martin's plan for Nelson was very hasty. It should be a plan that he suddenly thought of after he suddenly learned of Nelson's arrival. The plan itself is full of
There is a loophole, so someone needs to make up for it, and that person is you." After that, he suddenly asked a digression: "Can you tell me, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Martin?"
Catherine said with some embarrassment: "We, we were together before, but then we separated because of some things."
"Do you have a high reputation in Cage City?" Leo asked.
Catherine said modestly: "It's not bad."
"Isn't it okay?" Leo thought for a while and said: "From what I saw as a bystander, you have a very high reputation, not only among ordinary workers, but also among this
The reputation within the Aknaya sect is not low, even that Mr. Martin can't compare to it."
"What do you mean by this?" Catherine's face suddenly changed, she glared at Leo, and said, "You want to say that Martin added me to his plan because my reputation is higher than his.
"
"I'm going to ask you." Leo, who had just stood up, had no intention of continuing the conversation. He gestured to Nelson, who was paying close attention to the situation on the opposite side, and then changed seats with Nelson again.
When Leo got up and changed seats, Catherine opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. Instead, after Nelson sat back, she looked at Nelson with a strange look, which made Nelson...
A look of confusion on his face.
Just now, Leo directly pointed out Martin's plan in front of Catherine, mainly because the scene on the platform made him feel that Catherine was not Martin's accomplice, but he was not sure yet, so he used this method.
Making sure.
As the commander of a special operations team, interrogating prisoners and judging the truth or falsehood of what the prisoners say are all compulsory courses. As the leader among them, Leo can easily judge the opponent's character from various details that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Mentality, thoughts, etc.
During the conversation with Catherine just now, Leo had determined that Catherine was indeed unaware of Martin's plans. She simply thought that going to the parish was to find clues and evidence for the brutal murders that had occurred continuously in Cage City.
In addition, he was also very sure that Catherine knew something, but she seemed to have great concerns and could not speak out.
He didn't plan to press Catherine further, because doing so would only make Catherine resentful and make her unwilling to speak, so he left some space for Catherine to think clearly and say what she wanted to say but didn't dare to say.
Well, this is a little interrogation technique.
Cage City is very big, this is the consensus of all Lanxi people, but seeing the size of Cage City from outside Cage City and feeling the size of Cage City from inside Cage City are completely different things. Darkness often causes people to have illusions about space and time.
.
The rail car only traveled on the aerial track for nearly twenty minutes, but it made the people sitting in the car feel like hours had passed. It even felt like the rail car would never reach the end.
So when the rail car entered the parish and saw the unique white buildings of the parish, both those on the rail car who had experienced it and those who had not, couldn't help but relax.
After entering the parish, almost all the buildings were painted white, and some religious symbols similar to religious emblems were painted with red paint in some eye-catching places.
When Martin mentioned the Aknaya sect, Leo only regarded this religion as a general religious belief and as a tool for Martin to harvest people's hearts. But after seeing those religious symbols, he realized that this religion originated from the Black Forest Swamp.
The religion may contain as much incredible power as the Black Forest itself.
Because he found that these religious symbols were just like the scratches he saw on the Wizzik people's amulets. When he concentrated on watching, they would produce strange and unspeakable changes. This change might just be a twist.
Changing the shape, or maybe just extending a certain line, but just this subtle change makes this seemingly ordinary religious symbol create a dizzying and extremely nauseating feeling.
Although this change is not as strong as the Wizzik Talisman, it is enough to arouse Leo's vigilance.
So, Leo tried to activate his spiritual vision skill to check the surrounding situation.
However, the scene in front of him made him a little surprised, because he found that the parish of the Aknaya sect was very clean.
This kind of cleanliness is not clean in the conventional sense, but the surrounding air does not have the thick gray-black negative smell in other areas of Cage City.
"It was discovered that a trace amount of high-level negative energy force field can be absorbed, and the side effects are weakening of will, mental confusion, and unpredictable mutation."
However, through the accessory brain system, Leo obtained a piece of data that surprised him even more.
The negative energy force field that shrouded Cage City did not dissipate because of the disappearance of the gray-black negative aura. Instead, it transformed and formed a high-level negative energy force field. Even if it is only a trace amount, it can be directly absorbed.
The personal data used to improve oneself has extremely obvious flaws, namely weakened will, mental confusion and physical mutation.
"Mr. Dodd, what's wrong with you?" Through the conversation just now, Catherine also began to pay attention to Leo. Although Leo didn't make any big moves just now, his expression changed significantly after Leo entered the parish, which made her
Leo couldn't help but guess that he must have discovered something, and also thought of some other things, so he asked.
When Leo heard the inquiry, he did not respond immediately. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked an inexplicable question: "Miss Catherine, are the symbols on the wall the emblem of the Aknaya sect?"
Catherine was stunned, shook her head, and said: "No, these symbols were painted on by Major after Martin resigned as patriarch, representing new life. Oh! Major is one of the three high priests.
"
"Is that so?" Leo fell silent.
From the spiritual vision skill just now, he could clearly see that the religious symbols on the wall were absorbing the negative aura around him and transforming the negative aura into a higher-level negative energy field.
For ordinary people, being exposed to such a negative energy field for a long time is like being exposed to radiation. Their bodies will inevitably experience various discomforts, and some may even undergo mutations. This has been confirmed by the Earth Federation. This is also consistent with
What Nelson said on the platform before is very consistent with what he said. After recovering from a serious illness, you will receive the blessing of Aknaya's divine power. It is clearly due to the mutation caused by the negative energy field.
Leo was curious about what role Martin played in this matter, because judging from some of the things he had seen before, it was obvious that Martin knew the function of these religious symbols, and he strongly opposed the use of these symbols.
Symbols, and even more opposed to people transformed by symbols becoming clergy. On the contrary, the three high priests vigorously promoted this matter, even coaxing sick believers to come to the parish to wait for death. Judging from these details, Martin seemed to be a good man.
However, as soon as the idea that Martin was a good person came into his mind, Leo immediately shook his head and dispelled it. If he had been a biological weapon in the past, he might have believed more in the results of collecting data and analyzing it, but now he is more convinced.
Trust your feelings.
When the rail car drove through a curve and emerged from behind a tall building, the scene in front of everyone suddenly became clear. All the densely packed steel-frame buildings in Cage City disappeared, and there was a huge hole in the city like a deep well with a diameter of five kilometers.
Appeared in front of everyone.
