The bishop of the Church of Illumination is actually not a human being... but a strange red moon?
Xu Le remembered that Chi Xiao told him about the classification of weirdness.
The red moon and the gods are two systems, but the red moon itself also contains the existence of some gods.
Gods require the power of faith, so is the so-called god of the Lighthouse Illuminati a powerful monster?
A mystery of the God + Red Moon system, called Glory?
For some reason, when Xu Le thought that the so-called gods were just a weird system, most of the awe in his heart suddenly dissipated.
What is left may be only awe of the strong, but he no longer worries about his identity.
And Xu Le is more curious, what is the bishop's covered face?
Will it look human?
Xu Le didn't get an answer. The bishop had already started talking about Wang Beichuan:
"Wang Beichuan, he used to be a very good pastor, it's a pity."
"What happened to Wang Beichuan? Can you tell us?"
The bishop was silent for a while before speaking:
"Mrs. Ju Ya has already spoken, so I will naturally help.
And it’s been ten years since this happened, so there’s nothing to hide, so come with me.”
Following the bishop, Xu Le and the others came to a basement where a large number of corpses were stored, including corpses that had not been destroyed...
However, Xu Le did not receive any hint from Gu Yinduo's secret message. It seems that the corpse here will not be deformed.
The bishop seemed to know what Xu Le and the others were thinking, and suddenly said:
"Don't worry too much, the Illuminati also has methods to purify darkness."
"knew."
Walking to a corner of the tomb, the bishop said half-explaining, half-pleasing:
"The death of the Illuminati is independent, and every dead priest will be kept here.
That is Wang Beichuan, and all the things he left behind are here.
But ten years have passed. Even if he has sinned, it should disappear with time. I hope you will not desecrate the deceased."
Xu Le nodded:
"Please rest assured that we will not do anything blasphemous. We are not here today to trace Wang Beichuan's sins, but to fulfill his last wish."
"Last wish?" The bishop looked a little confused, but Xu Le didn't explain too much.
The three of them walked quickly to Wang Beichuan's storage compartment. In addition to some illumination scriptures commonly used by priests and some prayer and blessing props, there was only a diary.
"I hope there will be clues."
Opening the diary, Xu Le and the other three were shocked on the spot.
There are many ugly and twisted things drawn in this diary, nameless monsters, eyes in the dark, distortion, greed, desire, and gluttony.
Countless dark monsters appear on every page of the diary.
Wang Beichuan has good painting skills, and he seems to be able to feel guilt and anger when looking at the paintings.
Turn to the back and there is his written record.
[I received another beast today. Haha, I not only have to comfort it and enlighten it, but I also have to bless it because it gave me money. 】
It was used all the time in the diary, and the writing was so strong that Xu Le could even feel the anger in it.
[Animal abuse? Compared with those guys, this person is considered to have a conscience. 】
【Today I met a thief. Compared with others, he was as kind as a guinea pig.】
There were many similar records, and Xu Le kept seeing one of them.
[Adulter, adulterer, adulterer, that bitch, you actually got together with this adulterer behind my back, it’s unforgivable.]
Adulterer? Is it cheating?
Xu Le continued to read.
[The adulterer said he was repenting, but he was actually showing off. I cannot be exposed. I want to kill him. I want to extract his bones bit by bit. No, I want to be calm. I want to record his death. They
death.]
[At 12 o'clock on this alarm clock, his death will be recorded. 】
[He came to confess again, and the appointment was again late at night. I tied him in the confessional, let the light shine on him, and then peeled off his bones bit by bit. 】
【The bones of sin are really suitable for making pointers.】
Xu Le was shocked when he saw this. The bones of sin are used as pointers? Is that the death knell?
【Although this world is bright, there are always places where the light cannot illuminate. 】
[There are too many injustices and sins in this world, and I should purify them on behalf of the light.]
[I have killed too many people. I wonder if any of them were killed by mistake? 】
[I really wish I could go back to the beginning and listen to the blessings of light in the yard every day. Maybe then, my sins would be lighter.]
When Xu Le saw this, he already understood what Wang Beichuan's last wish was.
He sighed deeply. This kind of life can only be said to be very sad, but it is also a little bit deplorable.
Perhaps Wang Beichuan also did it for the light and justice he believed in.
"Master Bishop, can we take this thing away?"
"Can."
The bishop nodded. His reaction had never been big, and he felt very calm from the beginning.
When Xu Le and the three of them were halfway there, Xu Le suddenly turned around and looked at this weird bishop:
"Does the Bishop know what Wang Beichuan did?"
"Light is everywhere."
The bishop did not answer Xu Le directly, but Xu Le already understood what he meant.
The Illuminati knows about this kind of thing and may even be tacitly approving it.
what does it mean?
A priest is tacitly allowed to kill these people? Is it because these people are sinners?
After thinking about it, Xu Le felt that the water inside was too deep and it was better not to get involved.
They are just a few small night watchmen who came here to unblock an ancient Yinduo relic and help them complete their mission.
Doing these fancy things will only cause the captain to gently wake up your sleeping mind.
"Brother Shu, leave quickly."
"good."
…
The three of them left the Illuminati Church, and Gu Beichen asked belatedly:
"Xu Le, how do you know Mrs. Ju Ya? She actually took the initiative to help."
"We met in school." Xu Le said truthfully.
"I didn't expect you to be quite relevant."
Gu Beichen curled his lips. After learning that Mrs. Ju Ya knew Xu Le, he felt that Xu Le's status was much higher than his own.
But these things are all small things. The big thing is the conversation between Xu Le and the bishop just now:
"Xu Le."
"What's the matter?"
"Did you just suspect that the Illuminati Church acquiesced in Wang Beichuan's murder?"
Xu Le suddenly stopped, looked at Gu Beichen and said seriously:
"I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense!"
Gu Beichen also stopped and touched his chin:
"I feel that the bishop also means this. Is this what you mean, Xu Le?"
"I'm suing you for slander. Brother Shu, he's slandering me. Can you mind what he says?"
Wang Shu turned his head and pretended not to see.
Xu Le had no choice but to hold Gu Beichen down:
"Please keep your voice down. This is Shangcheng District. Are you going to let us receive a pair of silver bracelets for free?"
"It's you, not us." Wang Shu made a last strike.
"Before I get caught, I will kill you all first."
Xu Le said fiercely.
After leaving the church, Xu Le took out Wang Beichuan's information again, which contained his home address.
"Let's go to his house now."
"If it is a teaching of light, shouldn't it be listening to prayers in church?"
"Wang Beichuan's last wish was to listen to Guangming's teachings, but it was definitely not teachings in the church."
"Why?"
"Because for him, the church is a place where sin is revealed and judged. There is no light at all."
Xu Le didn't know if his understanding was correct, so he drew a card.
【Red Card-Angel】
Positive: correct, affirmative, agree.
Opposite: Faith.
"It seems my judgment was correct."
"It's so nagging."
Gu Beichen was still very envious of the Red Moon Warlock's ability. After all, the Warlock's abilities in the Mystery Test were very strange.
Unlike him, after reaching level 2, he can only set fire.
The three of them came to Wang Beichuan's home together. Because he was a pastor, Wang Beichuan had saved a lot of money while working.
So I bought a small yard at the far end of the river near the uptown area.
When Xu Le and the other two walked into the yard, they found an old lady and a little boy about 10 years old in the yard.
The old lady was sitting on the rocking chair, basking in the sun leisurely.
The little boy who was doing his homework lay down on the stone bench and fell into a deep sleep.
The sunshine, the small courtyard, and the peaceful nanny and grandson made the place like a picture scroll at this time, and Xu Le and the others could not bear to disturb them.
The old lady noticed the arrival of the three people. She covered the child with the clothes in her hand, turned around and said to the three people:
"Come in and sit down."
"good."
Xu Le used his ancient sound multi-view to scan the surroundings. Although there was unlikely to be any danger here, the necessary vigilance was still necessary.
Sitting on the other side of the yard, the old lady poured a glass of water for each of the three people:
"What's the matter with you?"
Just as Gu Beichen was about to speak, Wang Shu stopped him. This was a subconscious move on his part.
Wang Shu felt that something was wrong with the old lady in front of him, and he couldn't tell what was going on.
But Wang Shu felt that this situation should be left to Xu Le to handle.
"Xu Le?"
"Um."
It's not that Xu Le doesn't want to answer, it's just that he can't answer.
From the moment the old lady in front of him sat down, Xu Le couldn't move.
In fact, it's not that he can't move, it's that Gu Yinduo's destiny is strongly telling him not to move.
"Young man, they are all looking at you. Is there anything you want to say?"
Facing the old lady's inquiry, Xu Le took a deep breath:
"I want to... listen to your teachings."
The old lady shook her head slightly and said:
"Most of the experiences of people who have been there are not advisable. Why do you want to listen to my teachings?"
Xu Le was silent for a long time this time, and certain memories came to his mind, making him a little embarrassed.
After a while, Xu Le adjusted his mood in an ethereal state and said calmly:
"I used to steal my grandma's money when I was little.
When I grew up, I asked my grandma: Do you know that there is less money?
Grandma said: I know.
I asked again: Do you know why you don’t want to change places?
Grandma said: I'm afraid you can't find it.
Now……
But I couldn't find her."
After listening to Xu Le's brief story, the old lady nodded, with a little more afterglow in her eyes:
"In this short life, we will all pass away eventually. You might as well be bold, love someone, climb a mountain, and chase a dream."
"I can't see the light. Now I can only see the darkness."
"That's right, when the light is gone, the darkness should be borne by us."
Xu Le nodded. He felt that every conversation with the old lady was a confrontation:
"Then what should I do?"
"Darkness and light embrace each other, and you should embrace them both.
You have to remember everything, the skills you learned, the people who taught you, and all the nightmares and darkness."
"Then what?"
The old lady's eyes suddenly flashed with sharpness.
"Cut them."
…
After the three people left, the kind old lady leaned on the rocking chair again.
The child had woken up. He looked at the old lady and asked:
"Teacher, did anyone come just now?"
"A good scholar."
"Isn't there three people?"
"It's a person." The old lady confirmed.
…
After leaving the courtyard, the three of them felt that it was difficult to calm down.
"She is so strong." Wang Shu spoke first.
"Yeah." Gu Beichen also agreed. His legs were weak and he couldn't make any more comments.
In fact, the pressure these two people felt was far less than Xu Le.
However, Xu Le relied on his ethereal state to survive.
"With such teachings, it's no wonder that Wang Beichuan would act like that."
"What did she say? My mind was buzzing at the time, so I didn't hear it clearly."
"I didn't hear it clearly either."
If one person didn't hear clearly, that's fine. But if two people didn't hear clearly, then there's something wrong.
That old lady only talked to him?
Xu Le recalled the feeling of entering the yard just now.
He had only felt that kind of intense pressure from Chi Xiao.
"The so-called teachings of light are not the teachings of the Illuminati at all, nor are they the prayers of the church, but the teachings of this old lady.
This old man may be the one who sounds the death knell."
"The information shows that Wang Beichuan's parents have passed away long ago, but Wang Beichuan left behind a child, which should be that child, but who is that old lady?"
Gu Beichen had too many questions, and Xu Le could only look at him expressionlessly:
"have no idea."
"I don't know this or that. As a night watchman, what do you know?"
"I only know that the captain told us that we should stay away from matters in the upper city."
Hearing what Xu Le said, Gu Beichen could only shut up.
Xu Le slowly breathed a sigh of relief and took out the death knell again. The large pocket watch was finally unsealed.
【Death Knell】
Ancient Yinduo Relic-SU
Death Knell - Effect: When you return all the hands of the pocket watch to 12 o'clock, a death knell will be released that will make all souls tremble.
Reset to zero - effect: Each hour clock can only be reset to zero once.
Introduction: I really want to listen to the teachings of Guangming, which can make my sins less severe.
"No matter what, it was a success after all."
"Successful? Will the next mission be safe?"
Xu Le pouted, no matter how powerful a relic is, it is just a relic. The key depends on the person who uses the relic.
"You still need to be strong to make iron. Before the next mission, you should practice your ice element fruit well.
It is said that after you completely master the elemental fruits, you can transform yourself into elements, but I guess you can't do that now."
Gu Beichen blushed after being criticized by Xu Le, but could not refute.
After holding it in for a while, he suddenly asked:
"Then you learned how to elementalize?"
Xu Le was silent for a while:
"Soon."
"Then why are you pretending to be a hammer with me?"
…
Back at the branch, Xu Le and the others reported to Bai Jing.
The owner of this soul-soothing relic is Xu Le himself, so the ownership of the death knell still falls into Xu Le's hands.
"Xu Le, including Deathstroke's money, you now owe the team 35,000 yuan. Do you have any ideas?"
"To be precise, it's 34,306 yuan and 7 cents. As for any ideas, I don't have any.
No matter how much debt you have, it's not me who's anxious anyway."
boom!
The Coke bottle hit Xu Le on the head. Bai Jing originally wanted to use the ashtray, but she was a little afraid of hitting Xu Le to death.
"What now?"
"I think I should make good money, repay the team, pay off debts as soon as possible, and create a better tomorrow with everyone."
"Well, yes, I have some ideological awareness."
Bai Jing nodded, began to write on a piece of paper, and finally stamped it.
"This is a note from you and Gu Beichen."
"Captain, I didn't ask for leave?"
"I know you didn't ask for leave, and you don't have to think about anything else. I'm giving you paid leave.
You two have eaten the elemental fruit, and it takes time to become familiar with and master the power of Gu Yinduo.
You and Gu Beichen are both warlocks. If you can make progress in a short period of time, you will become an important fighting force for the team."
After hearing the reasons given by Bai Jing, Xu Le nodded heavily.
"I understand, captain, I will practice hard during this period."
"That's fine, just try your best."
Xu Le hesitated for a moment, and Bai Jing asked directly:
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Captain, the number of people in the team is quite different now. Is there no way to recruit people?"
"I'm stuck. In terms of personnel matters, I have a better relationship with Wang Yueqin and the others.
The explanations they gave were that one was self-recruitment, and the other was that the personnel committee would fill up our executive department before the end of the year.
What’s the point of completing it before the end of the year? By then, all six teams may be gone.”
Bai Jing's tone was a little helpless, but it seemed that even a small team member like him, Xu Le, couldn't help much with this kind of matter.
Maybe you can use your identity as a Red Moon Warlock to find a way, but before this mission, I'm afraid it's too late.
"Then I understand, Captain."
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much about the strength of the team. On the 15th, I will apply for another team to carry out a joint mission.
Their team's abilities are not weak, and together with us, they should be enough to deal with the weirdness in Block 53.
Moreover, Gan has been promoted to level 2, and you and Gu Beichen have also obtained the Ancient Sound Multi-Element Fruit. Although Zhou Zimo is missing, the overall strength of our team has been improved."
"clear."
After getting off work early, Xu Le took a stroll on the way home.
He sorted out his thoughts for a while and made a practice plan for the next 10 days in his mind.
The first thing he needs to consider is the development of elemental electricity.
Not to mention the powerful ability of body elementalization, at least you need to have the most basic mastery of elemental electricity.
Then there is the mastery of the anima bullets, which requires complete proficiency.
These two are the most important, other practices can be postponed temporarily.
"It's a pity that if I go to practice outside the city, I won't be able to make money from people's divination."
At this time, Xu Le had already walked downstairs to the dormitory. He was too busy today and had no chance to do fortune telling.
Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted:
"I just want to ask, does anyone need divination?"
Xu Le stood in a mess in the wind. Only a few passers-by glanced at him and left a sentence:
"Idiot."
"Okay, let's go home and play with video games."
Number 8, code word 10,000.
Number 9, code word 14,000.
Number 10, code word 10,000.
Night Shadow Chicken, Night Shadow Chicken, how could you become so greedy for money? So smelly?
