The moment he saw the man hanging on the cross, Colin frowned.
Although he didn't want to be hung up on it, according to Levi and Anna's words, it was the Son of God who was crucified on the cross, and now he is the one who got the script for this role? Isn't someone stealing the show?
"Again... someone new is here?"
The weak voice came from the naked man's mouth, and the tiredness and weakness in his eyes immediately made Colin alert.
Could it be that this woman just deceives people and nails them, just like the banshees and ghosts in those stories about ghosts and ghosts, right?
While he was thinking this, he heard the naked man say: "Put me down. I can't hold it anymore. This time I failed."
"Okay." A rough voice came from the side.
Colin looked around and found that there were four people scattered around the Christian church, three men and one woman. They were all dressed up in modern times and did not wear the appearance of characters belonging to this era.
In other words, these people who are in a similar situation to Anna's should be her partners or allies.
But what makes Colin even more vigilant is that everyone here has an astonishing momentum, and they seem to be enveloped by invisible pressure. This shows that even if their extraordinary levels are not as good as Alena, they are probably about the same.
"You have entered a den of thieves, but in this world behind the door, which place is safe? Similarly, whose words are true?"
While he was thinking this, the shirtless man was shaken, broke away from the cross, and fell to the ground.
Anna frowned and asked: "Giving up so soon? You know, the more you give up halfway, the smaller the chance will be. There are not many things you can give up. Once it comes to the last moment, there is no one who can be given up. Yes
There’s no way to get to the next level.”
"What's the meaning?"
After hearing these words, Colin and Levi looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
They are no strangers to the word "abandonment" because they have all experienced the "rite of abandonment", but the group of people in front of them now are all of a high level, so what does it have to do with abandonment?
"You have a lot of questions, right?"
At this time, Anna noticed the expressions of the two people, and then Colin unexpectedly took the initiative to explain: "Actually, this is what I want to tell you, that is why I value Mr. Son of God so much," she pointed out.
Holding the cross, "You must have seen this."
"Yes, and we also saw the gentleman who was hanging on it before." Colin chose not to follow the other person's rhythm, but took the initiative to ask, "So about 'abandonment', what does it have to do with all this?"
"Very good, this is what I want to mention," Anna raised her hand and stopped several companions who wanted to ask, "In past history and religious legends, what was the final outcome of the Son of God?
Not talking about those general descriptions, but more detailed, do you know what happened to him when he was crucified? Well, you are not familiar with this, so what about you?"
"I know something." Li Wei hesitated and said, "According to legend, he was nailed to the cross for seven days. On the first day, his hair was cut off, on the second day, his hand tendons and hamstrings were cut off, and on the third day, he was crucified.
His eyes were pierced, his tongue was cut off on the fourth day, his abdomen was pierced on the fifth day, his shoulders were pierced on the sixth day, and his heart was pierced on the seventh day!"
Every time he said something, Colin's face became more solemn, and he looked at everyone with more vigilance.
In the end, even Levi's expression became a little strange. He looked at the woman and laughed dryly: "You don't want to repeat this process, right? This is completely different from your original promise."
Anna didn't answer immediately, but snapped her fingers. Among the people nearby, a long-haired guy came over with a roll of brown paper.
"What's this?"
Colin asked as he looked at the parchment in Anna's hand.
"Contract." Anna unfolded the parchment scroll, which was densely written with characters, "a contract used to restrict behavior and restrict each other."
Colin looked at the characters he had never seen before, but he immediately understood the contents: both parties were open and honest, cooperated with each other, and jointly explored the secrets here. If they influence each other, hurt each other, or if either party appears to be harmful to the other,
Any unfavorable move by one party will be subject to mysterious sanctions! And it is not only limited to itself, but also includes the forces behind it!
The consequences of the sanctions, including loss of mystery, loss of strength and life, or having one's own bloodline cursed, etc., made Colin's heart tremble.
"This is?"
"Contracts, contracts, and agreements in the secular world can be easily broken by others. Even if it is an agreement between countries, some countries will rely on their own strength to refuse to abide by it. The reason is that actions that violate the contract cannot be restricted by powerful forces.
In other words, we don’t have to pay a big price, but we are different. Our contract is witnessed and supervised by a truly great person and mysterious power, which is enough to reflect my sincerity."
Anna said sincerely: "No matter what the difference in strength, gender, or age between you and me, we can all be protected by this contract. This is also the basis for our cooperation. Believe me, in such a dangerous place, cooperation is the most important thing."
is the way out. Similarly, although I need your help, I am also worried that you will cause damage to us because of misunderstanding!"
"You?" Colin raised his eyebrows, "Can you all sign it?"
"Anna, they are so weak, there is no way they can be better than us..."
Several people behind Anna were hesitant to speak, but they were stopped by Anna. Then this lady was the first to drip blood on the contract, forming her name——
"Anna Mittel."
Immediately afterwards, the remaining four men and one woman (including the man who came down from the cross), in helplessness, also revealed their names one by one.
Colin pondered for a moment, and also shed blood.
"I..." Li Wei hesitated, but finally signed the contract honestly.
The contract was put away, but Colin could feel that there was a power lingering around him and others.
"Okay, now we can all feel at ease, we are all our own people." Anna laughed again, and she pointed at the Cross Church, "This is the entrance to the deeper mysteries. We have been using it for a long time.
I just confirmed it, don’t worry, I will explain it clearly.”
Without waiting for Colin to ask, she took the initiative to introduce: "The historical gap behind the door is actually divided into many layers. The one we are in now is one of them. Before this, we actually experienced other layers and finally came here.
"
Levi nodded, and Colin thought of the dark space and the guide who enveloped his whole body.
"As I said, this is related to the origin of the extraordinary, and it also represents truth and power. But if you want to enter deeper, you need some rituals and pass the entrance." Anna pointed to the cross, "This ritual,
Just like the original Son of God, he was nailed to the cross, and then like the Son of God, he kept giving up his own mystery until he passed the judgment."
Anna looked at Colin: "There is no doubt that your role is very important." Then she looked at Levi, "You haven't told him the results after the seventh day. Tell him now."
