Chapter 1020 The Dark God and the Ocean God, the Seal of the Sea! (Please complete the order)
Missing person?
After hearing the old woman's words, Li Xiao's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
The old woman mistakenly thought they were looking for those missing in Salimmore.
Li Xiao nodded calmly, followed the current situation, and continued: "Then do you know where they are?"
The old woman shook her head when she heard this: "I don't know that."
Looking through the window at the approaching believers outside, the old woman looked worried.
Under the orders of the masked man, the believers were searching house to house, even leaving no corner untouched, in order to find out Li Xiao and Li Xiao.
"You'd better leave here quickly. If you are caught by them, you will definitely be in trouble."
The old woman advised kindly.
"As you know, we took great risks to enter Tucker Town just to find those missing people and the whereabouts of Tucker Town. We will not give up if we don't get to the bottom of it."
Watching the expression on the old woman's face change, Li Xiao said earnestly. As he spoke, he set up a ban around the hotel to block interference from the outside world as much as possible.
"this..."
The old woman fell into deep thought. She pursed her dry lips tightly and her deep-set eyes flickered. Finally, she seemed to have made a difficult decision. Then she said: "It seems that if you don't investigate, you will commit a crime."
Danger, okay, then let me tell you about Tucker Town."
As soon as this statement came out.
Li Xiao and Xiaoqiang's expressions suddenly froze, wanting to get the answer from the old woman's story.
"Tucker Town was originally a small town on Salinmore Island. It was located on the border and isolated from the world. Everything was so peaceful and simple."
"Many places have their own gods, and Tucker Town is no exception. What we have believed in since ancient times is the sun god, because the sun symbolizes the source of life and can be said to be the foundation of survival, especially in such a remote and desolate place.
An isolated island... We pray devoutly, hoping that the sun god can bless us."
"In the decades before this, the Sun God had blessed us with good weather and good harvests. Although we were not too wealthy, at least we had no worries about food and drink and a worry-free life."
"However, there are unforeseen circumstances. Just eight years ago, a sudden change changed Tucker Town."
"I don't know why, the sun god who has always protected the world no longer works, and even punishes the world. The climate in Salinmo is getting hotter and hotter, as if it is baking in a furnace. The sky is full of wind and sand, the sun is blazing, and the heat is unbearable.
, it is unbearable, and some crops have withered and lost their vitality. The hot environment makes people dehydrated and plunges them into endless pain. Starvation and mourning are everywhere."
"Half a year has passed like this, and everyone has been tortured. Many people have even thought of crossing the ocean to survive elsewhere... However, seven years ago, everything finally came to an end.
Turnaround."
"A priest came to Tucker Town without warning. He said he would come to preach and save us from the fire and water."
The old woman's tone was deep and vicissitudes of life, as if she was recounting a long-ago event.
"Father, is this the man with the black iron mask?"
"Well, it's him."
Facing Li Xiao's puzzled gaze, the old woman nodded unequivocally: "It was his arrival that brought huge changes to Tucker Town. He stood in front of all of us, on a dry and scorched earth.
A clear and sweet spring was transformed, and then a field was transformed into the cracked mountain forest, as if a god came to the world, bringing vitality and hope to the desolate Tucker Town, just like in the chaotic
A new world has been opened up in the last days.”
Listening to the old woman's words, Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
This masked man can actually create clear springs and farmland with his bare hands. Could this be the Creator?
However, Li Xiao still has doubts about this statement. If this is true, it would be incredible. Li Xiao is still more inclined to think that the other party has cast some kind of blindness or strange spell.
"Then what?"
The old woman took a deep breath and continued: "Then he advocated that we abandon the sun god and believe in new gods. He said that although the sun brings light, it also means drought, destruction and disaster.
Only the God of Darkness and the God of the Sea can bring eternal peace, which will last forever. As long as you believe in them, you will always have good weather, live a prosperous life, have no worries about food and clothing, and live the life you dream of."
"At the same time, he also made an agreement with us."
"First of all, let us believe in the Dark God and never go against the God's will."
"Secondly, we have to live in Tucker Town from generation to generation and are not allowed to cross the Thunder Pond. If we offend the God of Darkness, there will be divine punishment."
"The last step is to have all our believers sign a contract with the church."
"Under such circumstances, we could only compromise, agree to the priest's request, and start to believe in the Dark God. But now it seems that that was the beginning of the real nightmare. Everything did not get better but got worse. We seemed to be
The puppet whose soul has been extracted becomes numb and loses consciousness. Everything must obey the orders of the Dark God. It is as if it is living in an endless purgatory."
The past events came to mind, and the old woman sighed endlessly.
Li Xiao vaguely felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth. After pondering for a while, he asked tentatively: "What is the contract you are talking about?"
"That contract..."
After hesitating for a while, the old woman slowly rolled up the sleeve of her left arm.
When they saw each other's arms, Li Xiao and Xiao Qiang's expressions changed slightly and they looked at each other.
I saw that the skinny half of the old woman's arm was covered with row upon row of fish scales, glowing with a silvery luster under the moonlight. There was faint pus flowing out of it, and a rotten smell filled the room.
spread within.
"How could this be? Why are your arms covered with fish scales? Is it some kind of strange disease?"
Xiaoqiang couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked.
The old woman shook her head, with a bitter smile on her lips: "This is a contract that I have concluded with the sect. They call it the mark of the sea. Only by signing such a mark can one become a formal member of the sect.
.”
A surprising thought arose in Li Xiao's heart, which made people shudder.
Li Xiao's pupils shrank slightly: "In other words, all members of the cult have a mark of the sea. Is this the mark left by the Dark God and the Ocean God on his followers?"
"That's right. If we betray the Dark God and the Ocean God, we will be counterattacked by the Mark of the Sea."
The old woman nodded, and what she said confirmed Li Xiao's conjecture.
