Seeing the content on the tablet, Director Lin shivered suddenly, his face also changed.
The assistant said, "This happened in Europe half an hour ago, the people our bureau sent to Europe just now reported this to me."
Director Lin didn't say much, his attention fully on the tablet.
Sliding the screen, he quickly browsed through the information above.
There wasn't much content, just a few short lines of text, along with an attached video.
—Europe, Rome, above a century-old religious church, the Gate of Heaven appeared. Currently, the church area has been sealed off under the pretense of maintenance, specific casualties still unknown.
—According to the time of the incident, which was in the morning during the mass in the religious church and considering the surrounding population, it is estimated that casualties are over a hundred.
—The only confirmed intelligence is that the priest of the church was appointed by the Vatican, not a secular priest, but a monk and a Watchman-level individual. Currently, the priest is officially declared dead.
Just these three lines.
Director Lin read them and held his breath, his eyes becoming solemn. Even though he hadn't clicked the video yet, just seeing the Gate of Heaven appear, and the words 'casualties' written, he already realized this was definitely not good news.
"Heaven has fallen too?"
When he said this, his tone was filled with low pressure.
The assistant didn't respond, just said in a deep voice to himself:
"The Gate of Heaven isn't the Gate of Hell, this is the first time I've heard that the appearance of the Gate of Heaven is accompanied by death. In the past, not only would there be no casualties, it would only be accompanied by new life and healing."
Director Lin stayed silent.
The assistant's thoughts matched his own, and with this thought in mind, he looked at the attached video.
There was only one video.
The video file name was marked as: [Caution! Beware of the video sound! Must watch with a Heart-Guarding Talisman!]
Director Lin was momentarily stunned. But he didn't dare be careless, and immediately ordered the assistant to fetch the Heart-Guarding Talisman before daring to play the video.
When the video played…
To be precise, in the mere three or four seconds that the video played, Director Lin and his assistant's expressions changed drastically.
In the footage, it seemed to be filmed with a phone, the person filming was speaking, judging from the English content, he seemed to be planning to film his family entering the church for mass.
At that moment, many people were gathering at the church entrance, coming for mass.
But just as the church doors opened, and everyone was about to enter, suddenly, like the clouds parting to reveal the sky, rays of light shone down from above.
Many people present, including the one filming, subconsciously looked up, and the phone camera followed.
Next, the video caught a series of gasps and exclamations, people shouting "OMG!", "My God, what am I seeing?" and other astonished phrases.
At the same time, the camera caught it.
Above the church, above the cross sculpture at the church's top, a grand, ancient, golden and magnificent door appeared.
The door had an ancient Western style. Old-fashioned yet luxurious, full of Western artistic beauty.
But no one admired the door's beauty.
Because, this door was covered in cracks, strange palm prints of all sizes on it, and in addition… on the ground before the door, lay a corpse.
The corpse looked completely human. The only difference was the pair of pure white wings on its back.
Even though the people present were ordinary, they could still recognize the corpse's identity, it was an angel's corpse.
It lay in a pool of golden blood. Its wings stained with the golden blood of an angel.
At this moment, a hand appeared in the footage. It was the filmer's hand. In a terrified tone, he pointed to the golden liquid flowing from the door.
"Ugh~ this smell seems like blood… My God, is that golden liquid angel blood?!"
As the camera moved, Director Lin and the assistant both saw it.
The Gate of Heaven, aside from the angel's corpse, also had a pair of severed wings nailed onto the door with a golden angel's spear.
The scene was shocking.
The flesh and blood at the break of the wings could be seen clearly, it was obvious the wings had been forcefully torn off and nailed.
"Those wings… look like the wings of an Archangel." The assistant suddenly said.
Director Lin didn't answer, but instead pointed at the angel spear and asked, "Do you see it? That black stuff on the spear."
Because the filmer and the Gate of Heaven were some distance apart, it wasn't clear at first. The assistant leaned in and looked closely, finally seeing it.
The golden spear nailing the angel's wings had black liquid dripping from its hilt. The liquid was very thick. It looked sticky and gooey.
It was just that the angel's wings and corpse were too eye-catching, causing people to overlook the black liquid.
But Director Lin noticed it.
The assistant's eyes trembled, looking toward Director Lin.
"Director Lin… that black stuff, it's the same as the black liquid that came out of Old Master Hu San…"
Just as the assistant was about to say they were exactly the same, suddenly, the video emitted a rumbling sound.
Director Lin and the assistant stopped their discussion and quickly looked at the video. They saw the half-closed Gate of Heaven shaking and slowly opening.
The scene inside Heaven, entered their eyes. According to records, the land within Heaven was formed of clouds, originally pure white and holy.
But now, heaven's cloud-filled ground was covered with golden blood and black liquid everywhere, and piles of angel corpses.
They died in extremely miserable ways.
Archangels wearing silver armor had shattered armor and bloodied spears.
Thrones wearing golden armor either lay fallen or clutched their heads, foaming black liquid at the mouth, letting out eerie, terrifying roars, with not a trace of angelic holiness left.
Those actions were extremely similar to the mutated Old master Hu San.
At the same time, at the church entrance, the filmer and others were terrified by the polluted angels. Seeing the corrupted angels slaughtering other angels, it was too shocking, it felt like their faith was collapsing.
"This isn't real… this must be the work of demons." The filmer's voice came from the footage. He was trying to save his religious faith, but the next second, his family screamed.
Suddenly, the camera shifted instinctively toward his family, then showed their faces filled with unprecedented terror as they pointed toward the Gate of Heaven.
Then, the camera, under the filmer's subconscious movement, turned to where the family was pointing.
Everyone in the footage, and Director Lin and his assistant watching the video, at this moment, without exception, all felt their scalps go numb.
In the footage…
The Gate of Heaven stood wide open, and inside, on the left side of Heaven, a vague humanoid figure could be seen.
It was the only figure without wings, dressed in white, stained with black substances. It was nailed to an upside-down cross.
Due to the distance, the face couldn't be clearly seen, but Director Lin dared to make a firm judgment about the identity of the figure hanging upside down on the cross.
This was the highest god of Christian mythology, the Lord God.
At this moment, from the video, faintly, one could hear mad laughter coming from the upside-down God in Heaven.
That's right.
It was mad laughter.
The laughter was insane, filled with madness. Anyone who listened, even if it was just Director Lin and the assistant watching the video, their hearts felt distorted, inexplicable negative emotions began to rise.
