As the believers restored the encirclement, a man in black robes came out and stood among the believers.
Minase Youmeng looked at the man in black robes in disbelief, because that was Aunt Lin, who had been his neighbor before.
At this time, she raised her arms and announced loudly.
"The stars have aligned, the time has come."
"hold a ceremony!"
With a shout, a huge portrait slowly descended from the dome ceiling tied by steel cables.
The painting is a gray fog, and in the middle of the fog, a slender figure is looming.
Seeing this painting, Minase Yomeng's brain suddenly trembled, and bits and pieces of pictures flashed in his mind.
And these memories are all mixed with this painting, and the naked self lying on the marble floor of this hall, with a large number of believers standing around.
This moment is exactly like that moment.
Minase Youmeng covered his head, his eyes widened and his eyes kept shaking, unable to believe the pictures in his mind.
Aunt Lin stood in front of the girl and explained: "This is the truth...you are actually the body we created."
"It is our thoughts that created you. You are an ethereal thing that did not exist, but now you will be given meaning."
"It is to become a vessel to receive 'my Lord'!"
Aunt Lin's mood suddenly became high and she pointed at the huge painting hanging behind her.
The two believers next to them forced Minase Harumu's head onto the mist painting. Although the girl struggled hard, she still couldn't hold it back.
In the residual vision, the slender figure in the fog is faintly moving.
"ah--!"
...
"Yes, I reported that a group of people have taken hostages and are holding illegal cult rituals. Please come and enforce the law quickly."
"The address is Mihua 4-chome No. 24...remember to bring more people with you."
"It's inconvenient to leave my name, goodbye."
Walking out of the phone booth on the roadside, Qin Zhibo looked at the Western-style church building across the street, which was the so-called "POUTE".
Under the guidance of the Searching Object Curse, Minase Yomu should be here, as is Matsumoto Ryohei.
Although it is now clear that Minase Youmu was the Tulpa created by these people, it is still unclear what their specific purpose is.
It is true that Minase Harumu has some "superpowers", but he is still far from the ability to create a god as introduced by Tulpa.
If you want to use the power of Tulpa to create a god, the thinking power of believers alone is not enough.
There are also believers who "act" in front of Minase Youmu again and again. What is the purpose of it?
So their purpose should be more than that.
He quickly ran through the deserted streets and tried to pull the door handle of the wooden arched door. It was already locked.
But this was not a problem for Qin Zhibo. He opened the lock picking tool kit that he had prepared, reached into the lock and tried a few times before opening this ordinary door lock.
This is the front hall of the "Papal Institute". Next to the dark corridor are two rows of benches for resting, and arched domes extending inward.
And in the deepest part of the corridor, the faint light seems to be a guide, attracting lost people to go there.
Qin Zhibo put on the [Lord of the Rings], entered the invisible state, and approached it cautiously.
Hundreds of believers from the Bridge Priory were gathered here, forming a circle and surrounding the open space in the middle, so that Qin Zhibo on the outermost side could not see anything.
Since these believers were shoulder to shoulder, Qin Zhibo couldn't squeeze in even if he was invisible, so he had to find another way.
But at this moment, the girl's heart-rending cry reached his ears.
"ah--!"
Qin Zhibo's heart tightened. Although he knew that he was a person shaped by his thoughts, after getting along with him for this period of time, he had already regarded Minase Youmeng as a real person.
He didn't have time to think too much, and quickly released a [Guard Totem], placing his eye on the roof of the palace, where he could overlook the situation in the palace.
Accessing the guard totem's field of vision, two believers were seen forcibly pushing Minase Harumu's head towards the painting hanging in the air, forcing her to read the content on it.
Not far away, there were two believers holding Matsumoto Ryohei, who seemed to be dying.
"Look, this is your true body!"
"Thoughts derive dreams, dreams turn into power, and power builds bridges!"
"The ancient spirit at the center of the universe is coming from the bridge...show up!"
Aunt Lin shouted as loud as she could, but even so, Minase Harumu was still struggling hard, and the emotions of a human girl were still in her eyes - struggle, fear and anxiety.
Aunt Lin's eyes were a little disappointed, but she was not discouraged. She just said indifferently, "Isn't it enough?"
The Tulpa created by believers with their thoughts will inevitably possess human rationality, but this is a taboo in the advent ceremony.
Those ancient gods did not appreciate human reason.
Reason is the shackles, madness is the freedom.
If you want the ancient gods to descend on the Tulpa created by humans, you must make the Tulpa fall into a state of extreme madness!
When reason reaches its lowest point, it is the best time for the ancient gods to descend.
Therefore, in order to drive this Tulpa into madness, believers designed an exquisite human identity for him, Teidan high school student Minase Yomu.
The Jiudaomen Apartment, the school profile of Didan High School... are all nothing but subtle lies.
Let the Tulpa accept himself as a human being, and then drive the Tulpa into madness under extreme circumstances. This is the ultimate goal.
But the believers of the church tried various cruel methods, but still could not make Tulpa go crazy, including kidnapping, torture, imprisonment, abduction...
Every time, Tulpa was able to see through the tricks of the believers at the critical moment, understood that everything was false, and refused to fall into madness.
Followers of the sect can only use the "Memory Lake Technique" to make Tulpa forget it again and again, and then try it again and again.
Different scenes, different characters, different plots... just to drive Tulpa completely crazy.
But with a recent attempt, a turning point occurred.
People other than believers rescued Tulpa and treated Tulpa like family.
With this turning point, the believers thought about whether they could create an emotional bond between Tulpa and people outside the sect, and then wait until the time was right to use this bond to drive Tulpa into madness.
This is a good time now.
...
Aunt Lin glanced at the two believers next to her. The two men immediately understood and lifted Matsumoto Ryohei's body up.
"Look clearly, this is your companion, right?"
A believer raised his fist and punched Matsumoto Ryohei on the cheek.
"Uncle Matsumoto!"
Minase Yomu screamed heartbreakingly, but what she got in return was more vicious beatings, punching and kicking Matsumoto Ryohei.
Aunt Lin kept provoking words in Minase Youmeng's ears, "Do you want to save him? Just go completely crazy!"
"As long as you fall into madness, you have the power to stop it all!"
"As long as you fall into madness, we will worship you as 'my lord'!"
With another punch and kick, Matsumoto Ryohei was completely beaten to the ground. When he fell to the ground, it seemed that he could only breathe out, not in.
But Minase Harumu was still just crying anxiously towards Matsumoto Ryohei, without any sign of falling into madness.
Aunt Lin was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the bond between the two was not deep enough, or that she had acted too hastily?
But logically, since the man rescued Tulpa that day, he had enough time to establish a bond, right?
Aunt Lin didn't know that there was someone else who rescued Minase Youmu from Jiudaomen Apartment that night.
Just when she didn't know what to do next, Matsumoto Ryohei, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and pounced on Aunt Lin like a wild beast.
Before Aunt Lin could react, a bloody mouth had bitten her ear, and with a strong tear, the skin split open instantly, and a few strands of blood streaked through the air.
Only then did the two believers next to him react and quickly pull Matsumoto Ryohei away, but he had already held the fresh human ear in his mouth, grinning like a falcon that had successfully hunted.
"ah!"
Aunt Lin covered her ears in pain, blood flowing down her fingers, and she looked a little miserable.
Seeing the scene of the bad guys suffering, Minase Youmeng's lips curved, revealing a somewhat inappropriate smile.
This made Aunt Lin feel very humiliated and she immediately screamed.
"Ears! Bring me my ears!"
The harsh voice commanded all the believers. The leader, Lao Wangba, rushed forward and reached out to grab Matsumoto Ryohei's ears from his mouth.
But at this moment, a loud voice in the hall suddenly stopped everyone.
"Don't move at all!"
All the believers trembled and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a man with gauze wrapped around his head appearing in the outer circle of the hall at some unknown time.
He held a simple explosive with two detonators tied together in one hand, and a lighter in the other hand, aiming at the fuse of the explosive.
As long as the flame of the lighter touches the fuse, you can imagine what will happen next - Peng!
"If you move again I will blow you up!"
"If you don't want to die, don't move!"
The believers were stunned by the man's words, especially the two detonators in his hands that were really irresistible, which were very convincing.
Although these people have faith, they do not reach the level of fanatic believers.
The man maintained his posture of detonating the explosive at any time, walked through the path that the believer's body subconsciously gave way to, and came to Minase Yomu's side.
Minase Youmeng looked at the man with gauze on his head in surprise, and felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. When he looked at the brown trench coat on his body, he immediately understood.
"big......"
Qin Zhibo didn't wait for her to speak and quickly whispered, "Follow me."
Minase Yangmeng nodded and followed Qin Zhibo obediently.
The man walked up to Matsumoto Ryohei again and asked him if he could still move.
Matsumoto Ryohei spit out Aunt Lin's ear, nodded, and slowly got up from the ground with the help of Minase Harumu.
"You all get out of the way. If I blow you up to death, let's see who is suitable in the end!"
"Whoever dares to come up here will have no chance of living!"
The gauze-haired man's words were harsh. Even though he was surrounded by people dozens of times his size, his momentum was still strong, and his tone of demeaning death seemed to ignite the fuse of explosives in the next second.
Under the threat of death, these believers slowly retreated, opening the newly closed circle of encirclement.
Minase Youmeng helped Matsumoto Ryohei stagger towards the main entrance. Qin Zhibo was behind, holding a bomb in his hand, preventing the believers from following him.
I have already called the police. Basically, as long as I can leave this building, it will be successful.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly shouted among the believers.
"You can't leave!"
Qin Zhibo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with neatly styled hair and elegant glasses on his face.
Although his appearance had changed a bit compared to before, Qin Zhibo still recognized this person as Akira Kato.
"Kato, keep the green hills here so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Don't be too troublesome."
Aunt Lin covered her ears with one hand and scolded angrily.
In her mind, Tulpa is a product of the church. As long as it exists, the church can be found, so the concession at this moment is nothing. As long as she survives, she still has a chance.
But Kato Akira didn't care what she said and continued to stare at the gauze-haired man in the corridor, "Humph, I already know who you are..."
"Hey! You didn't hear me..."
Aunt Lin angrily scolded Kato, but before she could finish her words, Kato Akira suddenly took action, so fast that only an afterimage was left, and it penetrated into Aunt Lin's chest.
The huge power itself was incredible, but what was even more frightening was not this, but the fact that what penetrated Aunt Lin's chest was not a human arm, but a bright black pointed vertebra.
Aunt Lin's body fell down forever with the shock of being exposed to death.
Akira Kato, who had just executed his companion, just lightly shook his arm that turned into a sharp point. Blood splashed on the marble, and then, the shiny black material turned into a human arm again.
"I know who you are, you can't leave..."
With that said, Kato Akira took a good posture, kicked off the ground, and quickly rushed towards Qin Zhibo.
Seeing this, Qin Zhibo also looked shocked. This guy clearly saw that he had a bomb in his hand, and yet he dared to rush forward.
He's crazy!
The flame of the lighter in his hand caught the fuse of the explosive. Qin Zhibo threw the explosive towards the hall with all his strength, turned around and lay down in the other direction.
The believers suddenly panicked, but they didn't have much time to react.
Less than two seconds after the explosive hit the ground, the fuse had already burned out, and extremely dangerous chemicals reacted rapidly inside.
boom--
The luxurious hall made of marble trembled violently, and the entire marble floor of the church seemed to tremble several times.
The explosives exploded among the crowd, and many believers who had no time to lie down became living targets to test the power of the explosives, and the flying limbs were the price they paid.
Qin Zhibo, who was lying on the marble floor, slowly raised his head. His ears were shaken by the explosion of explosives and he almost lost his hearing. His head was also buzzing.
Fortunately, the emergency evacuations were relatively timely, and there were no injuries on the body, except for the pain all over the body.
Qin Zhibo slowly got up while holding his abdomen. Just as he was about to check on the two people in front of him, his heart suddenly froze.
Terrifying murderous intent struck from behind. Qin Zhibo had just turned half of his body when a black shadow quickly passed by and knocked him to the ground.
His body, which was already in extremely poor condition, fell heavily to the ground. Qin Zhibo felt that his stomach was filled with all kinds of meat and fish, and he was about to vomit even his dinner.
But before he could tilt his head to spit something out of his mouth, Kato Akira had already walked over and lifted Qin Zhibo up with one hand.
