Chapter 810: The lucky guy in the church? (Please vote for the super large chapter)
What Lena saw in front of her eyes at this moment was a simple and spacious 'shack' surrounded by brick walls and iron sheets.
Lena recognized this as a church because next to the open iron door of the shed, there was a thick piece of rusty iron with the word 'church' scrawled on it in red paint.
The falling snow scattered in the sky is sprinkled on the red paint, quietly crawling in the middle of the bright red writing.
One by one, poorly dressed people passed by the iron sheet and walked into the open, rusty iron door of the shack one by one.
"Search this way, the target must have escaped from here."
There seemed to be a faint shout coming from behind.
Lena lowered her head and glanced at her clothes.
Her original delicate red dress had been broken in the battle. On the way here, she got some mud on it, covering up her white skin. She also wrinkled and stained the tattered red dress, making herself look more like a wolf.
of wanderers.
In fact, her current appearance is considered to be the worst among homeless people.
Among the homeless people in Winter City, only a relatively small number of people are completely in rags. Most of the homeless people work as temporary workers with low wages in exchange for a little income to survive.
Although the money is not enough for them to pay the rent, they can still survive by buying some basic food and daily necessities.
Therefore, most of them will dress themselves neatly, which will make them more attractive to employers.
Although it's terrible, everyone is working hard to live.
If you are too dirty and enter some of the more prosperous areas, you will be chased away or even attacked by armed security guards.
But this is near the Storm Tower, the most chaotic place in the city, so even if Lena makes her dress a little messy, it won't arouse too much suspicion.
Lena turned her head and glanced at the clothes of the young boy with his eyes closed behind her.
She also covered He Ao's body, but not much, because He Ao himself had experienced a fierce battle, his clothes had long been torn, and there were still dried blood scabs on his body.
All she had to do was cover up the obvious wounds and bloody scabs, and pretend that He Ao looked like a normal nearby 'resident'.
This is not difficult for Lena. Although she has not been back for a long time, this is still the place where she grew up.
She knows very well what the people here should be like.
Judging from the conditions of passers-by around her, the situation in the neighborhood seems to be worse now than when she stayed here.
Because time was urgent, her 'disguise' was very simple. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but if you look closely, you will find blood stains on both of them.
But this is not a big deal. For most people in the storm area, where life is difficult, they rarely care about the status of a stranger.
After confirming that there was no problem with the disguise, Lena blended into the crowd and walked into the shack church.
At this moment, she already understood why He Ao guided her here. Sometimes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
However, she was still a little unsure about whether she could escape the pursuit of the Eternal Secret Cult.
Now both she and He Ao are seriously injured. Once discovered by the Eternal Secret Cult, they may be in serious danger.
Suppressing the turbulent thoughts in her heart, the expression on her face did not change, and her eyes "naturally" scanned the scene in front of her.
The ground inside the church is a piece of crumbling concrete. It seems that this place was originally a small square that was in disrepair and was turned into a 'church' at some point.
On these cement floors, there are small plastic round stools arranged one after another.
This kind of round stool is not big, most of it has faded, and its load-bearing capacity is very poor. If you sit on it accidentally, it will break.
This is something that is impossible to see in cloud areas, but is very common in storm areas.
On the walls made of rusty iron sheets on both sides of the church, there is a line of words written in red paint.
What is written on the wall on the left is, 'Eternal light guides us to the most beautiful kingdom of God.'
What is written on the wall on the right is, 'If you damage the stool, you will be compensated according to the price.'
In the deepest part of the church, there is a circular podium made of cement, which should be where the clergy of the Eternal Esoteric Cult stand.
And behind the podium on the right side, there is a small iron door cut out of the iron wall, with some kind of light shining faintly behind the small door.
It was impossible to turn on the street lights near the Storm Building. Even the street lights themselves were dismantled and sold by people nearby for money.
There is a light behind the door, which means there is an area behind the door.
That should be the area where the clergy of the Eternal Secret Cult stay.
Lena did not have time to look at the entire church from the outside. She could only mentally deduce the possible structure of the church by observing the inside of the church.
While observing the church, she was also walking quickly forward with the crowd.
Compared with the magnificent Eternal Esoteric Cathedral that she and He Ao had visited last night, this church seemed a bit 'unsatisfactory'.
At this moment, many people were already sitting on the densely arranged small round pews in the church.
Not far in front of Lena, a somewhat skinny old man with a plastic light badge on his chest and a loose robe was making gestures to guide people to different areas.
Lena lowered her head and continued to move forward along with the crowd.
Soon, she passed the old man. The old man didn't seem to pay attention to anyone in the crowd, but still maintained his posture of pointing the way.
She slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but almost at the moment she breathed a sigh of relief, a hoarse but very soft voice came from behind her, "This church member."
Her body stiffened slightly, countless plans flashed through her mind, but her expression did not change. She turned her head, looked at the old man, and asked softly in a cold voice, "What can I do for you?"
"Who is this."
The old man slowly raised his hand and pointed at the young man on her back, his voice still very soft.
"This is my brother."
Lena said slowly with a little vigilance.
This is a normal way to deal with strangers near the Storm Tower.
No one knows whether a person who suddenly comes to greet you warmly will suddenly turn into a vicious robber.
"He seems to be feeling a little unwell?"
The old man glanced at the young man on Lena's back, slowly raised his hand and pointed to a position in the corner of the church, "There is no air leakage there, it should be warmer."
After a brief pause, Lena nodded slightly, "Thank you."
She slowly turned around and walked in the direction pointed by the old man.
After verifying that there was indeed no air leakage here and that it needed to be warmer, she slowly sat down.
She also put down the unconscious He Ao, placed him on a stool, and then let the young boy rest on her lap.
She glanced at the tear in the stockings on her legs and the white skin exposed under the tear, and slowly pulled the edge of the stockings to cover the exposed skin.
In fact, her original skin was not so crystal clear and fair. As a street child who crawled out of a quagmire since childhood and had problems even eating, she basically did not get any nutritional supplements, and her skin condition could not be good.
The changes in her body were entirely due to her being promoted to an extraordinary person by chance, and her extraordinary power reshaped her body.
After she was completely seated, she turned her head and glanced at the noisy crowd around her.
People who enter the church smell more or less, some smell of cigarettes, some smell of alcohol, and some even have the obvious smell of excessive use of illegal drugs.
These mixed smells mixed together in the simple church, covering up the smell of blood on both of them.
She came back to her senses and looked around.
The people sitting near her were basically people whose clothes were thin or who looked weak.
It seemed that he was also guided here by the old man.
For a house that leaks air everywhere on a snowy night, having no air leakage is indeed a good place.
Lena herself may indeed want to find a warmer position, because Heao's condition does not look very good.
She looked down at the wounds on her body.
These wounds have stopped bleeding and are much smaller than before.
This is the physical change brought about by promotion. While the 'Warrior' secret medicine is reshaping her body, it is also accelerating the healing of her wounds.
She estimated that as long as she stayed here for a while, she would be able to recover a lot from her injuries and basically regain some of her strength. At that time, she could find a way to break out of the weak defenses of the Eternal Secret Cult.
There are more and more people in the church.
As the number of voices increased, the chill in the surroundings also decreased a lot.
There were more and more people sitting near Lena. She had a calm face and a cold attitude, and no one bothered her.
Just when people were about to enter, the old man in a robe came over. He whispered to a middle-aged woman sitting one or two rows behind Lena, and then the middle-aged woman nodded and spoke slowly.
Get up and walk to an empty seat not far away.
The old man spoke in a low voice, but Lena heard clearly that the old man was changing seats with the middle-aged woman.
After the middle-aged woman left, the old man sat directly in that position.
He did not turn to look at Lena, but looked up at the direction of the podium, as if he really just liked this position.
Lena glanced at the old man carefully without leaving any trace.
She felt no threat from the old man. Judging from his actions, he was just a simple ordinary person.
Soon, as the seats in the church were filled, a man in a white robe walked out from behind the small door deep in the church. He held a thick book that exuded a little bit of light and walked to the church podium.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
He raised his hand slightly, and his voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears without any hindrance, "Welcome brothers and sisters to come here and listen to the teachings of eternal light."
This should be some kind of extraordinary item or ritual power.
Lena glanced at the man on the podium.
The opponent's power is very restrained, and she cannot evaluate the opponent's true strength.
"Before sharing today, I am happy to tell you some good news,"
The man held the classic in his hand, "We have accepted the revelation from the eternal light, and will choose one of your brothers and sisters to go to the Kingdom of God to enjoy blessings. From now on, he will no longer have to suffer the sufferings of the world, and will have all the eternal gods."
In the country, enjoy your endless years!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole church exploded like boiling hot soup, and the noisy sound filled every gap in an instant.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
The man in white robe raised his hand again, this time with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice, and the entire hall fell silent for an instant.
Some kind of extraordinary power with the nature of 'bewitchment'.
Lena thought in her heart.
"I will announce the name of this 'lucky man' favored by God after this sharing is over,"
There was a smile on the corner of the man's mouth, as if he was happy for the 'chosen' person from the bottom of his heart. After making sure that everyone's attention was focused on him again, he opened the book in his hand and continued,
"Today, what we are going to talk about is the eternal Kingdom of God.
"The Eternal Divine Kingdom is the realm of eternal light and is the end of everything in the universe. When this chaotic universe finally goes to destruction, the eternal light will reshape the world and create a more stable and orderly universe.
“At the same time, his kingdom of God will cover the new universe, and the lives created in this new universe will live in his eternal kingdom of God.
"The eternal light loves the people of His new universe, allowing His people to live in the eternal kingdom of God, never grow old or die, never be hungry, and have no worries.
"However, the life in the old universe was not created by the great eternal light. We were not born as citizens of the eternal light. Theoretically, we should be destroyed along with the destruction of the old universe.
"But the eternal light is philanthropic, and He loves all lives equally, so He gives us an opportunity so that we, the people of the old universe, can also enter His immortal, eternal Kingdom of God.
“As long as we devoutly believe in Him and praise Him, we can enter His kingdom of God after death, become His people, and gain eternal life that can reach the new universe.
"Are you still afraid of the cold wind, fear of hunger, and fear of those terrifying violent gangsters?
"In that great eternal Kingdom of God, all these will cease to exist. We will have no hunger and no pain. Those may only be things that have appeared in our dreams, but now, we have them at our fingertips!
"This is the kindness of the great eternal light. This is the only possibility for us to escape from the suffering in life. The eternal kingdom of God, flowing with red wine and honey, is waiting for us in front, and we only need devout faith!"
The man in white robe raised his hands high and shouted crazily, "Let the great eternal light see your piety and praise the great eternal light!"
"Praise to the great eternal light!"
There were fanatical believers in the crowd who raised their hands high.
Immediately afterwards, people began to raise their hands one after another, "Praising the great eternal light!"
As more and more people raised their hands, the entire church began to be enveloped in a fanatical and noisy atmosphere, and even those who were hesitant raised their hands high.
At the last moment, Lena also raised her hands.
At this time, she discovered that the old people behind her were the last ones to raise their hands, just like her.
"Well, the great eternal light will see our piety!"
The man in white robe slowly lowered his hands and began to turn the next page of classics.
The noisy crowd around him also became quiet again.
At this moment, several figures in white robes walked out from behind the door.
They glanced at the man in white robe on the podium, nodded slightly to the man in white robe, and then quickly scanned the figures sitting in the church row by row along the walls on both sides of the church.
Few people immersed in the noisy atmosphere noticed these figures.
But Lena was not among them. She discovered these people almost as soon as they came in.
Obviously, these people came to 'find her'.
Basically, they are all D-level, and the possibility of bringing props that can unleash C-level strength cannot be ruled out.
Lena mentally estimated the strength of the man in white robe who came in.
These people in white robes basically didn't cover up their aura, so she could still get a rough idea of their strength.
While estimating the opponent's strength, she was also mentally estimating her remaining strength at this moment and how she should operate it in order to safely take He Ao out of here.
While thinking in her heart, her eyes were still fixed on the podium, like other devout believers.
At this moment, a man in white robes who was searching for her nearby twitched the tip of his nose, as if he smelled something, and quickly walked over.
Is this guy a dog?
Lena cursed secretly in her mind.
At the same time, she took a deep breath and prepared for battle.
boom--
At this moment, there was a slight sound behind Lena, and a plastic bag fell from the sleeve of the old man sitting behind and rolled to the ground.
The sound was so soft that almost no one around heard it.
"what?"
But the man in white robe who came over rushed forward, took out a thin sword and quickly opened the plastic bag on the ground.
Balls of meat still stained with blood leaked out of the old man's plastic bag.
The strong smell of blood spread instantly.
"I just bought rat meat,"
The old man lowered his head and carefully gathered the meat on the ground. He raised his head and looked at the figure in white robe awkwardly, "Do you want to taste some?"
"We are all brothers and sisters in the church,"
The man in white robe took a look at the plastic badge on the old man's chest, and began to help gather the minced meat on the ground. While gathering it, he asked, "Old man, have you seen anyone suspicious nearby?"
As he spoke, he naturally glanced around.
"No, they are all nearby residents."
The old man shook his head.
"Are these two the same?"
The man in white robe's eyes fell on Lena, who seemed to be listening to the lecture not far away, and the little boy resting on Lena's lap.
"Those are my distant grand-nephew and my little grand-nephew. They have only been here for two days."
The old man followed the gaze of the man in white robes and said cautiously, "Are you looking for them? They are both children who have suffered a hard life, but they are also devout believers and never dare to do bad things."
"Since we are your relatives, it will be fine."
The figure in white robe glanced at the woman's back and slowly stood up.
