"Sister Saiyi, why did they put the idols in the middle and burn them together? Is it to express resistance to the gods?"
"No, of course not. These people are more pious than anyone else, that's why they volunteer to carry out such a death mission."
"Then why is this still happening?"
"Because fire symbolizes the power of the gods in their religion, fire can be used as a medium to communicate with the gods. On the one hand, they burned the sick to prevent the spread of the plague, and on the other hand, they hoped that the gods could purify these polluted souls.
"Of course, their definition of soul is different from ours, and we do not think that the patient's consciousness is dirty."
"Oh~ Then what do their gods look like? Are they beautiful?"
"Amy, don't let your thinking be led astray by us. Only our goddess likes to attract believers with her beautiful and lovely appearance, and in ordinary civilization, terror and power are the images that gods should have."
Sister Saiyi waved her hand, and the distorted statue returned to its original state. It was a figure with angry eyes and a ferocious appearance, with hair like flames pointing straight to the sky, and a body that was so rugged that it was difficult to identify its gender. Its hands and feet were attached with symbols.
The flame decoration and the weapon in the hand also look like a spear formed by flames. Although it is made of unknown black metal and has no color, this image looks scary enough. If you put it on the street, it will definitely scare children to tears.
"This is really ugly~ Do the so-called gods in this world look like this?"
"No, this is just how mortals shape their gods. Regardless of whether there is a god in this world or whether this god is good-looking or not, people can only know the image of God from the promotional materials produced by the church, even if it is different.
There is no way you can make a difference even if you are thousands of miles away.”
"Because mortals' imaginations are huge. Once they want to do some abstract art, they will distort the original appearance of things indescribably..."
"That's right, that's why we have to make our own sculptures ourselves, and we can't let humans mess around on their own."
"Sigh~~~ What do these people think when they kill people, and what do they think when they commit suicide? Do they think they are righteous or evil? Do they feel guilty or glorious for their actions?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Justice and evil are inherently difficult to define in the mortal world. They just did what they thought they had to do."
"That's why we need someone with a heavenly perspective to guide them. Maybe we can't judge for them whether something is right, but at least we can remind them of the consequences of doing so."
"That's it, Amy, as long as you understand."
"I am also half a goddess after all. I have always tried hard to understand the way a goddess thinks... Hmm? Where did Yanghua go? Yanghua?"
Inadvertently, that girl Bai Yanghua disappeared without a trace? Wasn't she scared to death? Why did she suddenly become so cowardly?
"I'm here~"
Baiyanghua's voice came from the direction of the annex behind the hall. How dare she run into the dark room alone?
"Why are you running around? Aren't you afraid?"
I looked for her and found her. This girl was looking around in a burned-out house, not knowing what she was looking for.
"Stop talking Amy, I think I heard a living voice!"
"ah?"
In normal listening mode, I didn't hear any human voices at all, just the crackling of embers.
"Right here, I heard faint breathing, but no one could be found!"
Bai Yanghua seemed to be very anxious, which looked very much like me in the past. At that time, I still thought like an ordinary person and believed that death was the most terrifying thing in the world.
"Your ears are really good."
"Nonsense, Sister Aiti said that musicians should pay attention to the world at all times, so the default sensitivity of my ears is set to high!"
"Then you don't mind the noise?"
"You think I'm stupid? I turned on noise reduction and hearing protection!"
"Oh~ Are you sure it's the sound of people and not the wind? This house is in tatters now, and the sound made by the wind may be very similar to the sound of breathing."
"I'm sure it's not the sound of the wind! How could the sound of the wind be so rhythmic!"
"Okay, I'll help you find it together."
Since this girl is so determined, I still have to believe her. I'm not the kind of arrogant man who doesn't believe anything he says.
"This sound is coming from underground. This pile of garbage needs to be cleaned up."
After I turned up my hearing sensitivity, I found that there was indeed a faint sound of breathing, deep under the ruins of the collapsed roof.
"Then hurry up!"
Bai Yanghua immediately lifted up the wide sleeves of her nun's uniform and began to move away the rubble and burnt wood with her hands.
"You are too slow, let me do it instead."
I patted her shoulder and said.
"Huh? How fast can you be?"
"Let's get to know your sister and my style of doing things~"
I put my hand into... well, the tight clothes were inconvenient, but it didn't matter. I opened a window directly in front of me and pulled out a bulldozer from inside.
I pulled Bai Yanghua aside, and then directly pushed the bulldozer away from the pile of debris, and also knocked down the remaining walls of the room. Anyway, this building is definitely considered dangerous if it is burned like this, and I will do it if I don't knock it down.
Pour it out.
"This is called simplicity and efficiency, have you learned it?"
I shook the dust off the bulldozer and stuffed it back into who knows where.
"You...you...why do you just push the bulldozer?"
Bai Yanghua was stunned and stuttered for a long time before asking such a question.
"Because it's convenient. I just use a big shovel. If I can push it, just push it~"
"What you said makes sense..."
"No more nonsense, hurry up and find the entrance. There must be something like a basement down here."
"oh!"
The entrance to the basement is not difficult to find, because the roof collapsed and destroyed something that was previously blocking it. The ground of the entrance is now a rectangular hole, and there are also piles of junk inside. I didn't even bother to clean it up this time, so I just
All the holy light was burned. There was a heavy iron door at the end of the sloping passage, which looked like an isolation door. Bai Yanghua's idiot actually knocked on the door, and undoubtedly did not get any response.
.
"Yes, there is indeed breathing sound here, but I can't be sure it's a human being. You hide behind me first."
I pulled Bai Yanghua behind me.
"Ah? Are you still not a human being?"
"Of course, in this plague-ridden world, there are likely to be monsters, undead, and the like."
"Hey~! Then I'll go up first!"
"Don't run away. You expect me to explore the place you discovered alone? Just stay with me."
"Then you have to protect me!"
"Don't worry, my ability to draw hatred is top-notch. After all, I am a defensive nanny."
"ha?"
"Nothing, ready to open the door."
I put my five fingers together, punched hard into the iron door, grabbed the edge and pulled hard, tearing the entire door off the wall.
"You are the monster!"
Bai Yanghua shouted.
"Shut up and watch."
It was pitch black behind the door, and there was a foul smell that hit my face. Fortunately, it was filtered and it was tolerable. But the breathing sound suddenly disappeared, and the sound positioning could no longer be traced.
With an ominous premonition, I couldn't go in easily.
