Chapter 36 Join (Happy National Day, book friends!)
"Is this... the ability to turn into a cocoon to treat injuries?"
Lin has a strong ability to accept all kinds of mysteries and can quickly deduce the general outline.
She took a step forward and looked at the big cocoon, with a happy smile on her face.
"Great, this person is fine, the Lord's oracle can still be completed..."
She saw that there seemed to be some light source in the cocoon, reflecting a human-shaped black shadow. She could vaguely tell that she was a woman. She was like an embryo, with her hands wrapped around her curled thighs, like a fetus in the mother's body.
But along with the ever-increasing heartbeat, from behind the black figure, there seemed to be an infinite black shadow squirming, rapidly expanding... and turning into... a pair of deformed wings?
The human shape also became strange, with slender mouthparts and alienated body, seeming to be evolving into some kind of insect...
"No...this is...pollution?"
Lin's expression was solemn. She knew that the other party was unable to maintain his sanity after being seriously injured and was transforming into a monster.
In fact, Olivia's transformation was related to her previous overdraft of spirituality and performing rituals.
If this continues, it will definitely not be her who breaks out of the cocoon.
"So that's it. The Lord has already seen everything. Is this the true meaning of saving souls?"
Lin suddenly realized: "She has been attracted by the terrifying existence at the end of her road and is addicted to the abyss. She must obtain the glory of my Lord in order to obtain salvation..."
She knew what she should do.
Lin immediately began to arrange the ceremony and prayed to the spirit of vanity:
"The spirit of illusion wandering in the unknown, the existence of absolute neutrality, the silent observer..."
"Please give me your gift and save this lost soul in front of me!"
…
"Can I say that this was not my arrangement, I just ran a little slower, so I almost missed it?"
Aaron Sotos cursed and accepted the ceremony.
He looked at the giant cocoon in front of him, with shock in his eyes, but he still mobilized the mysterious energy generated by his dream and poured it into the cocoon.
"Thank you my Lord!"
Lin felt this change and looked into the light cocoon, only to see that the ferocious black shadow had gradually faded away and turned back into a human form.
Stab!
The gray cocoon clothes were torn apart, and the naked Olivia struggled out. When she saw Lin, there was a slight hint of shyness on her face, but more of a look of shock: "That's..."
"Lucky man, you have obtained the gift of our Lord and obtained His salvation..."
Lin glanced at Olivia, casually pulled off a piece of clothing from the corpse on the ground, and threw it over: "You put on your clothes first, and I will tell you slowly."
…
A moment later, the department store.
"So...you were inspired by an existence, established the light of salvation, and then received an oracle to save me?"
Olivia was surprised and said: "What kind of benevolent existence is that? He would actually take pity on me, an ant... No... can that kind of existence communicate with mortals? [Cocoon] will never communicate with his believers.
Even among the most advanced 'Cocooners', there are even rumors that those who have actually seen [Cocoon] have died, regardless of whether they are believers or not!"
"[Cocoon]? 'Cocoon Man'?"
Aaron was a little confused, and then Lin asked directly: "What is [Cocoon]?"
"He is the master of the elements of 'chrysalis', the symbol of life and change..."
Olivia's expression became extremely complicated: "I come from the forest in the south, where there are many people who worship [Cocoon]. They call themselves 'Cocoon People', and they also established a cult called 'Barren Wood'..."
…After many people joined, their temperaments have undergone terrible changes, and even after several transformations, they have turned into inhuman existences… I don’t want to stay any longer, so I leave far away…”
However, Lin thought of the fanatic followers of the Black Sun Order and the high priest who turned into a black flame beast, and suddenly realized: "The mysterious road is too dangerous, and madness and terror are always accompanied. No matter what path you take,
They all need my Lord’s protection to maintain their humanity, praise my Lord!”
"Am I privileged enough to hear His name?"
Olivia solemnly said: "After leaving the sect, my own hallucinations and some symptoms have become very serious, but after receiving the gift of that one, I feel that I have been completely cured. I want to know that one's
Doctrine, and...is He willing to accept a [Cocoon] disciple like me?"
"Of course, my Lord tolerates everything."
Lin's eyes lit up and she immediately began to preach: "He is at the top of the light world, the light of salvation, and the only hope for mankind!"
'Hey, I only told you that I am a spirit! Just a spirit! Don't add so many weird things to it without authorization!'
Aaron was on the side and felt extremely embarrassed.
In particular, Lin has taken it upon herself to add so many powers to herself, such as redemption and protection... He hasn't agreed yet, okay?
"Forget it, I didn't admit it anyway... besides...'chrysalis'?"
Aaron comforted himself. Apart from that, he was very interested in the new elements and paths that emerged.
"We need to find a way to deceive Olivia's secret message. No...it's a deal! A deal!"
"However, do life and change overlap with 'Red'? That's not right. 'Red' is mainly in the field of reproduction and vitality... Moreover, 'Chrysalis' gives me the feeling of being stubborn, conservative, and unchanging.
The flavor is contained in it..."
He just watched Olivia being fooled by Lin and becoming a member of the Redemption Light.
This is quite normal.
As long as Olivia wants to continue on her mysterious path and doesn't want to be affected by [Cocoon] and turn into a monster, she must bow at his feet.
Aaron could tell that although Olivia was relatively naive, she was still more mature than Lin. Could it be that she really couldn't see that there was something wrong with this 'Light of Redemption'?
Rather than saying that the other party was deceived into joining this sect, it is better to say that he was impressed by the 'miracle' he showed.
…
"Olivia, now that we have become church members, I will announce the first major event."
Lin inspected the department store and was very satisfied with the place: "I want to commandeer this place and use it as a branch of the religious order... Well, the headquarters cannot be moved. There is the altar of my Lord there. It cannot be moved unless I get His permission."
Olivia pursed her lips, looking at Lin pretending to be as high-spirited as an adult, and suddenly asked: "So... Madam Saint, how many people are there in our sect?"
Lin's momentum suddenly disappeared, and she answered in a very low voice: "Including you, there are five... extraordinary people, just you and me."
Olivia's expression froze. Although she was mentally prepared and guessing, she didn't expect that this religious order was so weird!
You know, among those real secret cults, which one does not have a member who comes forward, and the leader is always a strong person?
This one of our own is simply worse than a fighting group of others.
