Shh, I'm behind you fifty-six
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-six
The strange cellar, the pile of bones under the inexplicably broken stairs, the finger bone and the existence of this church are all very strange.
It was as if he could sense something was vaguely wrong, but he didn't notice the weirdness of being spied on, which made Gu Ci couldn't help but take a few more glances.
However, Gu Ci still couldn't find any problem, so she kept this question in her heart and waited for the answer next time. However, she didn't expect that the little butterfly that had been motionless had regained its human form and stood behind Gu Ci.
"Mother Goddess..."
He looked at Gu Ci longingly. The huge butterfly wings drooped down like flowers wilted by frost, hanging limply on both sides of the body, looking a bit pitiful.
"Mother Goddess, please let me help you. Please don't reject my request, okay?"
Little Butterfly stood beside Gu Ci with self-blame in her eyes. He took a step back and stood behind Gu Ci, looking at the back of her head pleadingly. He didn't dare to look into her eyes, but his words were full of desire, hoping that she could give him a chance.
Gu Ci listened to his words and nodded with a smile. She turned around and looked directly into Xiao Hudie's eyes, but Xiao Hudie didn't dare to look directly into Gu Ci's eyes. She was afraid to see disappointment and doubt in Gu Ci's eyes.
Disappointed that as the Mother Goddess's most beloved child, he failed to help her solve her problems at the critical moment. He was afraid of reading disappointment or any look in the Mother Goddess's eyes that he could not accept.
But he didn't know how to explain it. Could it be that he couldn't make out the scene in front of him as if the frame was stuck?
Little Butterfly didn't dare to think, nor did he dare to guess. He could only use this clumsy way to attract the Mother Goddess so that she would not forget him, but...
The little butterfly wanted to hide his head under his feet, his heart was full of torment until he heard the gentle and kind voice of the Mother Goddess.
"You said... you are my child, right?"
"Yes, Mother Goddess, I am your most loyal and obedient child!"
The little butterfly immediately looked up at Gu Ci with expectant eyes and nodded vigorously. If he had a tail, his tail would probably turn into a propeller. Moreover, he always had a clear understanding of himself.
Moreover, he is much more loyal than these believers. Nothing can compare to the Mother Goddess, who is the great Mother Goddess...
He doesn't have a tail, but his excitement is obvious from his anticipation of taking off and his focused eyes.
"Then my child, will you help me?"
Gu Ci gently stroked Little Butterfly's face. The moment he touched his face, he could feel his body tense up for a moment, but it quickly softened.
The Mother Goddess actually touched him!
Little Butterfly was intoxicated by Gu Ci's tenderness as if he was drunk. He looked at Gu Ci intoxicatedly and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Yes, Mother Goddess, yes..."
Gu Ci withdrew her hand, which was covered with extremely fine powder. If you hold it against the light source, you can see that the places that touched the powder are shining, and it looks like a layer of highlighter.
"Then my child, do you know where else here, besides this cellar, is there any other place that is relatively hidden and hard to find?" Gu Ci looked at the little butterfly gently, only to see the little butterfly simply shaking its head in a state of ecstasy.
"I'm sorry, Mother Goddess. I fell asleep not long after I arrived here."
Gu Ci nodded regretfully, not planning to waste time here. She didn't know what would happen if she, the sacrifice, was not successfully offered. And what about her companions sacrificing her?
There are only four people left, so it seems easy to find out who betrayed her. She is not afraid and will just wait and see if the others will be backstabbed. She doesn't need to deliberately get involved in this kind of situation.
Gu Ci was pushed out of the church quickly by Little Butterfly. Mary, who was waiting outside the church, saw Gu Ci appear and her eyes widened. She stood up and tilted her head to look at the church and questioned Gu Ci.
"Where is the Lord? How did you come out?"
Gu Ci looked at Mary, whose countless tentacles were shaking beneath him, thought for two seconds, then waved at her regretfully.
"I don't know either. If you're interested, go look for it yourself!"
Gu Ci winked at her and walked past her, strangling Mary's neck and using the tentacles to fix Mary in a strange posture like a pin.
The tiny and sharp wire had cut Mary in some places, and black substance flowed out and quickly dyed Mary's nun's uniform black. It was not until dark that the wire loosened and retreated from Mary's body to the ground.
Gu Ci was in the room where they were being held. Perhaps because the images presented during the day and at night were different, all the scenes Gu Ci could see yesterday were after the riot.
But now Gu Ci did not find any signs of last night, and his observations along the way also confirmed this. The church was not destroyed, and the surrounding walls were not broken through...
As the previous evidence showed, there were children in the church. The older children might have been seen before the retrospection, but the younger children, including Lian Guci, had not been seen.
Gu Ci searched many places before he found Lian in a room. The room was very familiar. It was the room where Gu Ci lived a few days before he entered the church.
It was also a small bed, and the small window was sealed tightly so that not a single ray of light could be seen. Even when the door was opened, one could only see darkness inside and could not see what was inside clearly.
The person inside opened the door and half of his body was exposed as he looked at Gu Ci. "Are you going to the church to pray as well? An said that we don't need to go to pray these few days and let us rest here."
Gu Ci looked at the nun's innocent face and smiled.
"I'm Sister Ci, can I join you?"
As soon as Gu Ci finished speaking, Sister Lian exclaimed in surprise. Then she opened the door and leaned out half of her body to look at Gu Ci in surprise. "Weren't you sent away by An? Why are you back again?"
Gu Ci pursed his lips and lowered his head a little disappointedly, "My wheelchair is broken, there is no place to repair it nearby, so I came back. An asked me to come find you and be with you two."
Gu Ci's words made the nun suddenly realize something. She opened the door to make it easier for Gu Ci to come in. Seeing that Gu Ci was sitting in a wheelchair and it was inconvenient for him to come in, she quickly called out to the other nuns hiding in the room to come out and help push and pull.
Little Butterfly stood behind Gu Ci, looking at these people helping Gu Ci with grievance. In their eyes, he was just a piece of air, and they couldn't hear him when he spoke, which made him very angry.
After the nun and the others brought Gu Ci in, she looked outside carefully. After making sure that there was no one there, she closed the door, found the candle that had been hidden and relit it.
Gu Ci looked at the familiar room, the familiar furnishings and the familiar candle heads and said, "Lian, did An say how long you guys are going to stay here?Shh, I'm behind you fifty-seven
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-seven
Lian glanced at Gu Ci, then held the candle in his hand and stretched it towards Gu Ci so that the candlelight could shine on Gu Ci's face. It seemed like something was sliding around, which looked particularly creepy in the unclear space.
"It's getting dark soon, Sister, do you want to rest here?"
Lian looked up at the ceiling and suddenly said this, then her eyes fell on Gu Ci again. Looking at Gu Ci sitting in a wheelchair, Lian tilted her head and curiously pressed Gu Ci's leg. A few drops of wax on her hand fell on Gu Ci's skirt.
A few drops of wax flowers soon condensed on the skirt and bloomed. The two drops of wax tears were so obvious against the black background. After he lowered his eyes, looked at those few drops of wax tears and whispered "I'm sorry", his hand tilted even more and almost fell down.
The candle flame licks the candle to make it burn faster, and the wax tears fall drop by drop like raindrops.
She used her other hand to lift up her left hand holding the candle. With a sad face, she repeated her sorry and then held the candle between her fingertips and looked at Gu Ci.
"I'm sorry."
She said
"But my left hand is injured and I have little strength. I can't control it."
Lian changed his hands and held them again, looking at Gu Ci with a smile, "Sister Ci, you haven't answered my question yet?"
Lian Xiao's smile was a little weird. When she asked this question, Gu Ci could hear the sound of something crawling and swimming here. A cold breath slowly rose from the floor and climbed up Gu Ci's body little by little like a spreading cold wave.
Gu Ci could clearly see something like frost spreading upwards from her legs, and the other nuns here were sitting around Gu Ci, trapping her, and had their own operating procedures as if they had discussed it in advance.
The expressions on their faces were surprisingly consistent, their pale faces were tinged with bluish-gray, and they tilted their heads and stared at Gu Ci like stiff puppets.
"I need to find An so I can't stay here for now."
Gu Ci gently responded to Lian's question, "Do you know where else I can enter the basement? I went to check and found that the previous way to enter the basement was blocked and I couldn't get in. My wheelchair is broken and needs to be replaced. I remember there is one inside."
Gu Ci remembered that An had said before that she was imprisoned in the basement. This was a conspiracy of sacrifice.
Gu Ci's words made Lian think for a moment, then she returned to normal, "It seems to be behind the church. We haven't been in there either. If you need help, we... forget it."
I searched my memory and it seemed like I had seen Sister Mary go in there, but that place was a forbidden area and ordinary people were not allowed to approach it. It seemed that a key was needed to enter.
key?
Gu Ci had been to the church before but didn't find any secret doors or anything like that. Perhaps something else attracted her attention so she didn't pay much attention to anything else.
Maybe she should go to the church and take a closer look.
"Sister Ci, do you want to be redeemed?"
An held Gu Ci's hand, and the cold touch slowly spread up along the touched skin, making it impossible to ignore. Gu Ci looked at Lian, who was holding his right hand and hanging his left hand to the side with a gloomy look.
Redemption?
What salvation?
This word has appeared many times.
What is redemption?
Who will grant salvation?
The little butterfly's smiling face suddenly fell when it saw Lian trying to hold Gu Ci back. It looked at Lian with an unfriendly look, and its huge wings suddenly spread out, shaking off beautiful phosphorus powder.
However, the little butterfly was like a transparent person. Watching his wings and hands pass through these people's bodies smoothly, he shuttled around their bodies in disbelief. Once again confirming that he could not do anything, he lowered his head in disappointment and returned to Gu Ci without saying a word.
Lian grabbed Gu Ci very hard, as if this question was very important to her and she would not let go of Gu Ci's hand until she got the answer.
Gu Ci twisted his hand and forcefully pulled it out from Lian's hand that was almost digging into her wrist. Lian held on very tightly. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been scratched by Lian's nails under such a manipulation.
She really doesn't like the feeling of being shackled, even if the other person is a child. There is no rule that says you have to ignore the feelings of being wronged when facing a vulnerable group.
What's more, she looks more like a vulnerable person, doesn't she?
Gu Ci suppressed his smile and looked at Lian seriously. He told Lian word by word, "No one can truly redeem themselves, and no one has the obligation to redeem anyone else. Only you can redeem yourself."
Redemption, redemption. How many people bury themselves in order to redeem others.
She only looked into Gu Ci's eyes for two seconds before lowering her eyes. She felt like giving up, so she cupped her left hand in the palm of her right hand and took two steps back, not daring to look Gu Ci in the eye.
"But..."
Even looking at the candlelight in my own hand, I am still confused
"The Lord said that only those who are redeemed can walk out. I saw Sister Ann send you out, but you are back now... redemption..."
Lian muttered to himself as if he had discovered something. He looked up at Gu Ci and said firmly, "You didn't walk out, right? This means you didn't get redemption!"
She said it firmly, as if she felt better after saying it. Thinking of this, Gu Ci could clearly see that she relaxed a little.
Gu Ci shook his head. "What you can walk out of is a road, what you can't walk out of is the curve of fate, and everyone is different. You like painting, right? If you want, you can try to draw it. The nuns are all praising you, saying that you may become an excellent teacher in the future."
An thought of those paintings. There were many children in this crowd who could pick up charcoal and draw, but the conditions here were too limited. According to the clues obtained by Gu Ci, only Lian Cai met the requirement of being able to write.
Lian is relatively young overall, but she is already an adult among these children, and she knows much more than others.
Even when listening to Gu Ci's great teachings, she was not moved at all. Only when she heard the last two sentences did she look up at Gu Ci with emotion and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
After getting Gu Ci's affirmative answer, Lian not only did not relax but became even more nervous. She was in a state close to collapse.
"No, no!"
The hand that was holding up her body collapsed and stretched it out in front of Gu Ci. "My hand is broken. I can't pick up anything anymore! I can't do anything. I can only live here and I don't even dare to go out! The world outside is too scary..."
Gu Ci watched Lian Fa Feng quietly, and as "night" came, Gu Ci clearly saw the body parts of these nuns begin to fade and disappear, but they themselves seemed to feel nothing and just stared at Gu Ci.
Gu Ci has no contact with or understanding of the child, but it's nice to let her go crazy on her own.Shh, I'm behind you fifty-eight
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-eight
However, Gu Ci did not expect that Lian would quickly calm down and adjust his mentality.
She wiped her tears and looked at Gu Ci expressionlessly
"When you go to the church to find the basement, try to walk along the outer wall and try to avoid the largest tree. Mary is under the tree. If you pass by her, she will know what you are looking for and hide the entrance, so you will never find it. I know you have the key to the basement, just go and find it."
After the nun finished speaking, she lowered her head and sat on the ground, ignoring Gu Ci. She and the nuns around her began to pray with their eyes closed, lost in their own world.
No wonder Gu Ci couldn't find the entrance to the basement no matter how hard he looked. It turns out there is a prerequisite.
key?
Gu Ci touched his body and found nothing but the necklace An gave him and the bone. Could the key be the necklace An gave me? An also said before that her necklace can allow players to leave and is also a key when backtracking. Maybe this is it.
Gu Ci picked up the necklace and took a look at it, suddenly remembering that he had found a necklace in the room before. Gu Ci took out the necklace and handed it to Lian without saying anything.
Lian glanced at Gu Ci who was hesitant and accepted the necklace, and she said nothing. In this room they were all silent as if they had reached some kind of agreement.
Gu Ci let Little Butterfly push her out. She closed the door and heard someone inside immediately stand up and block the door. After waiting for a while, she heard a small sound coming from inside.
Perhaps it was the sound of Lian drawing, or perhaps it was the sound of Lian teaching them to spell letters. Gu Ci only stopped briefly before going to find the basement, so she didn't hear Lian's mumbling.
Lian knelt on the ground and pressed her weak left hand on the paper. The paper was one of the few precious pieces of paper in the church. She found it in a corner of the church. Lian began to paint on it with her unskilled left hand.
The first painting appeared quickly, and while concentrating on painting, Lian whispered nostalgia: "I have a big family. There are many people in the church. They live together in friendship and harmony. The helpless children and women survive by their own labor and the help of the church people."
Soon Lian drew many little people holding hands together. Behind the little people was a church marked by a cross, and next to them was a big tree that accompanied her all the time.
If Gu Ci was there, she would have discovered that this painting was exactly the same as the one she found in the room she first lived in, which shows that the artist of the painting was Lian.
Lian seemed to be addicted to the feeling of confessing. Her hands holding the charcoal became more skilled. She focused more on expressing her thoughts on the paper and her hands moved faster.
"The church provides a place for nuns to stay. Believers will choose a certain day to gather in the church to pray, but there is not a single word in the Bibles in their hands. Occasionally, after a night of prayer, nuns will always die. The old nuns told us that the dead nuns were infected with diseases. What kind of disease will make people covered in blood? What kind of disease will make people look so painful?"
"People in the church seemed to be sick. Some nuns became mystical and said they believed in God. Sister Mary even said she was the Lord's messenger. People in the church were sick. The new nuns had fled from far away, but Sister Mary locked them up. I saw the disabled sister of the twin nuns being sent away by her sister.
Sister Mary said that the two of them were the incarnations of the devil and the angel. They wanted to keep the younger sister, who represented the angel, to serve the Lord, and put the older sister, who was the devil, to death. But one day Sister Mary said that the older sister was also an angel and could not be driven away.
It was a rare rainy season, and Mary went on a long journey. No one knew where she was going. All we knew was that after she came back, she happily announced to everyone: The Lord will come, and we will get eternal life.
The believers who came here the next day could not return to live in the church. They had been waiting for the heavy rain to stop and everything was fine in the past few days. However, with the lack of food and the nuns crying in pain in the middle of the night, they realized that something was unusual.
The old nun left and arranged for people to hide in the church. The young children had already been captured, and several young nuns had been taken hostage. They held torches and stared at the people in the church. Sister Mary said that salvation would come.
But where is the salvation? Is it redemption? No..."
The nun was so absorbed in painting that she didn't even notice that the door she had closed and blocked had been pushed open. When she finished her last painting and was scribbling the word she had learned on it, someone grabbed her ankle and dragged her up.
Lian let out a scream, and the charcoal in his hand left a very long scratch on the paper. The eyes around him were empty, and the nuns seemed to suddenly come to their senses and stare at the intruders.
Soon the nuns' screams and pleas for mercy filled the small room until they were shattered and extinguished.
When Gu Ci went out, he could still see light, but now it had become much dimmer, as if it would return to its previous state of being pitch dark in the next moment.
Gu Ci tried his best to search along the wall of the church for a long time before he found a small hole hidden in the wall behind the cross. The hole looked like it was accidentally poked during construction, and it was impossible for ordinary people to associate anything with this hole.
Gu Ci thought of the finger bone the moment she saw the hole. She was not the only one who had this finger bone. Others also more or less stated in their stories that they had fallen into that stairwell and got a bone.
Gu Ci took out a finger bone and stuffed it in. With a slight sound, a little bit of the floor behind the cross moved away, revealing a staircase going down. The staircase was very steep, and the surrounding walls were very smooth, so there was no point to gain leverage.
Gu Ci showed a black question mark face.
She found it, but how was she going to get down? Her wheelchair is almost the same size as the stairs and cannot fit in at all. Does she need to stand up immediately?
Bu Qing beside him trembled violently as if he was mocking Gu Ci. If there was no one in the church at the moment, people might have thought that Bu Qing was possessed by a ghost.
Little Butterfly looked at the stairs and then at Gu Ci who looked suspicious. She raised her hand excitedly and said, "Mother Goddess, please let me help you!"
Gu Ci looked at Little Butterfly, whose body was almost the same height as his when he was sitting. Asking him to carry her on his back would always feel like bullying a child. Gu Ci could even imagine the rhythm of Little Butterfly's legs slapping on the stairs when she carried him on her back.
It was very moving and successfully persuaded Gu Ci to leave.
No, no.
Gu Ci moved his fingers and drew a stick figure in the air. After leaving the church, he cast a barrier on himself and attached his senses to the figure.Shh, I'm behind you fifty-nine
Shh, I'm behind you fifty-nine
Gu Ci walked down the winding stairs and finally found the basement described in the ID card. There was the same altar with patterns and a corpse lying on it.
There was a wheelchair next to it. It was a very old-fashioned wheelchair that had been rusted for a long time, and many parts had rusted and fallen off.
But the wheelchair was covered with fresh flowers. Although they were fake flowers made of cloth, the person who made them seemed to be very careful, and each flower was as beautiful as a real one.
The chest of the skeleton on the altar was sunken, and a rib was broken on the left side of the heart. There was also a large dent on the skull, and there were several spider-web-like wounds on the skull, which showed that someone had severely hurt the owner of the corpse before.
In a place where the ID card could not be seen, next to the skull, there was a piece of beautifully crafted cardboard with the following words on it:
"To my dearest"
The author's hesitation can be clearly seen in just a few words.
There was nothing around the corpse except these, as if this place existed only to store the corpse, and it had become an alternative tomb.
Is this An's body or Ci's body?
Gu Ci looked around and carefully observed the subtle changes on the corpse. She didn't jump off the altar until she heard footsteps. She leaned against the wall and looked at the person coming.
An slowly walked down the stairs, her eyes fixed on the corpse on the altar. She stood nearby for a while, then naturally sat in the wheelchair and looked directly at the corpse on the altar.
It was very quiet during this period, with no sound at all.
Gu Ci couldn't see what An was doing. She moved a little and saw An touching the skull on the altar with a sad look. She seemed to have a myriad of emotions but dared not express them out loud.
Gu Ci saw very clearly that An picked up the piece of paper. She stroked the words on it with caressing, and after reading it for a long time, she solemnly put it back. The look of care and cherishment on her face was as if the paper was some precious treasure that made her reluctant to part with it.
From Gu Ci's perspective, she could clearly see An emptying her emotions in a daze. She quietly closed her eyes and leaned against the cold corpse seeking comfort.
However, the warm atmosphere did not last long. The familiar ticking sound came from far away and came to Gu Ci's side. Gu Ci moved to the corner with his short legs, only to see the master and servant who had been burned beyond recognition slowly emerging from the ground and condensing into a human shape.
When his skin was pulling against the mucus on the ground, you could see a lot of debris on his body being pulled to the ground by the mucus. If you didn't look carefully, it looked like a person covered in asphalt struggling slowly.
He stared at Ann as if he was tracking her, his tone was very unfriendly, he approached Ann and stared fiercely into her eyes, screaming and roaring
"An! You betrayed our agreement and chose to help outsiders. You are a traitor! Don't forget that your soul is still in my hands."
An shook her head and leaned on the corpse's chest with nostalgia, without even opening her eyes to look at him. She sat up straight after he had been tender enough for her, resting her elbows naturally on the armrests of the wheelchair, and put her hands elegantly on her knees, and smiled.
"What's the point of saying all this now? Lord, I said that this is an agreement between us. What you didn't do has not been completed by anyone until now. I should thank her for bringing me out of this cognitive fog, right? You disappoint me so much!"
An put her hand on the wheelchair tire as if she wanted to roll the wheelchair. When she put her hand on the tire, she suddenly remembered something, withdrew her hand, stood up and approached the Lord.
"I may be able to do what you can't do, and I can succeed without relying on you. How long can you hold me back with my poor soul?"
The frustration she expressed seemed to be a broken jar, "It doesn't make sense that this place, which should have disappeared, has existed for so long."
The Lord's whole body had been burned and only one eye could see clearly. He seemed to be challenged to the bottom line by An's words. He approached An step by step and questioned him unwillingly.
"What do you mean by should have disappeared? An, don't forget that without me you won't have eternal life, and without me you will never find her again! You prayed for my existence, and I exist for you, and you actually wanted to disobey my orders. I am your God, the God who brings you hope!"
Zhang opened his big mouth and roared angrily, and black mucus spurted out of his mouth and splashed all over An. The black mucus gave off a disgusting smell, but even so, An just shook off the mucus on his hands without changing his expression.
An remained silent and did not answer him. Seeing An's appearance, the Lord smiled with his empty mouth. Wisps of black air were like countless little snakes dancing up and down in his mouth.
He stretched out his charred arm and placed it on Ann's shoulder. "Oh, Ann, you are my most trusted believer. You are perfect!"
The master looked at Bai Gu with disdain and snorted twice to express his dissatisfaction. He once again warned An to be more obedient and then disappeared. No one knew what he was busy with.
An slowly sorted out the flowers that she had crushed and the saliva that was stained on her body, while smiling and muttering to herself, "Yes, eternal life, yes! Eternal life!"
She bent down, gave the skeleton a gentle kiss, and turned away.
Gu Ci followed behind An and watched her push open a secret door. He went in through the secret door and found that the exit was in the cellar. It was understandable that Gu Ci did not find An.
When Gu Ci followed An out of the cellar, he saw the people from yesterday gathering around the church again. They held torches in their hands and shouted to drive away the devil.
Mary stood around the group of believers and looked proudly at the church door that was sealed from the outside and the windows that were constantly being knocked. The voices of the poor nuns were heard from inside the church, begging them to be allowed to go out.
But the people outside had red eyes and ignored the pleas. They had people drag in the bodies of the nuns and children who had not been able to enter the church in time.
Among them, Wu Helian and other nuns that Gu Ci had met had their eyes closed and were randomly piled together like cargo on a dock, without any dignity at all.
Mary listened to the beautiful wailing, and under the gaze of everyone, she took the torch from the believer next to her. She raised her hand lightly and threw the torch to the door of the church. The wood prepared by these people had been piled outside the church. The fire spread quickly after being ignited by the torch, and soon the whole church was surrounded by fire.
The fire illuminated everyone's face, and the fire unexpectedly made the lifeless church bright.
"Oh~ In order to drive out the devil, we will give it new life in the fire. The Lord has appeared, and we will follow the Lord's footsteps to pursue a better tomorrow together!", I'm sixty behind you
Shh, I'm sixty behind you
Mary raised her hands high, and her fanatical appearance made other people who looked numb turn their heads to look at her as if they were infected. Some people lowered their heads in silence, wondering what they were thinking, while others followed her example and raised their arms and shouted "Lord!"
Mary looked eagerly at the flickering flame on the top of the church. She could no longer suppress the ecstasy of her tentacles under her fat skirt. Those thick and plump tentacles kept swaying in the air, as if dancing for the bonfire party.
No one else noticed her abnormality at all, because in the bright firelight, their expressions became extremely terrified. They stared at the blazing flames in the church with dull and stiff eyes, but a smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of their mouths as they shouted along.
They seemed to be comparing whether the people inside the church were louder or the people outside the church were louder.
The fanatical shouts outside the church and the crying and wailing inside the church became the unique music of this church. The flames spread up the church, turning it into a sea of fire, and soon there was no sound from inside.
Mary withdrew her hand regretfully, and then asked someone to throw the corpse she had repaired on the ground into the still burning embers.
Gu Ci took back the little man and looked at the fire from afar. This fire came suddenly and very premeditatedly. The fire was so bright that it almost illuminated the entire area of the church.
At least what was previously hidden in the darkness can now be seen. After the screams and wails disappeared, Gu Ci clearly saw the black slime hidden underground, as well as the black mist-like things, which slowly condensed into monsters of various shapes.
Some of them were covered with sharp claws like the monsters that trapped him before, some were just pure animals, but it could be seen that the more powerful monsters were slowly growing blurry human faces.
Although blurry, you can still tell that they are the faces of the nuns. These two people slowly opened their eyes and stared at the people standing there with greedy and burning gazes. As if they were concerned about the flames, they shrank their bodies into the shadows and curled up together, waiting to accumulate their strength.
The darkness of that night seemed to pass especially quickly. By the time the church was reduced to ruins and the last flame was extinguished from the remaining eaves and walls, the sky also brightened.
Just as the sky was getting light, Gu Ci saw a shocking scene.
The corpses that had been burned to charcoal stood up shakily as if they had been summoned by an unknown force.
As the dim light fell on them, their appearance gradually returned to that before the fire.
Gu Ci watched the nuns who were originally trapped in the fire come out of the church again, but the magnificent church had already turned into a pile of ruins with only black carbon remaining.
Among the flames, only the cross was not licked by the flames. Obviously, the cross was also made of wood, but it could not be ignited like ordinary wood.
The nuns talked normally as if they didn't know the ruins had been burned down, and then pushed open the door of the imaginary church.
Their movements seemed particularly strange. One nun accidentally got her skirt caught by the wood next to her while walking and fell to the ground, but she stood up without a care in the world.
It was as if she had just accidentally fallen and she didn't notice that her skirt was torn.
Only when you get closer can you see that these nuns have not returned to their previous appearance. Instead, it only maintained a basic human shape, but many scars could still be seen on its body.
Most of the nuns' bodies were covered with burn scars, with the charred flesh tightly adhered to their bodies. Their faces were also licked by the flames, leaving charred flesh stuck together.
As they talked and smiled at each other, it presented a creepy picture.
The night and the day have different plot progress, but the two are related to each other. Although they seem to be separated, they are not actually.
Gu Ci took a half step back. She saw that the church that was supposed to have been burned down was miraculously recovering to its original state as if time had gone back.
Everything has a trace.
The wind blew the corners of Gu Ci's clothes as if it was going to blow away the coat on her knees. At the moment when Gu Ci was stunned, dark clouds with clear outlines had gathered in the sky.
Is it going to rain?
No
The game time is almost over.
Maybe the next time it gets dark will be the final game moment. If they had not successfully completed the game at that time, there was a high probability that they would have been left here by these people and become one of them, just like the bones in the stairwell of the cellar.
At this time, An's familiar voice sounded, bringing the story she hadn't finished telling before.
"Monday started with a prologue, heavy rain fell and embraced the gloomy rainy day. The Almighty God accepted the believers' prayers, but the believers had no way to go home. The hospitable nuns kept the believers, and their sweet words made the believers more attached to this place.
Tuesday's rainy day was a prelude, with isolated believers praying in the church. They firmly believed that the Almighty God would save them, and they repaired the church in the hope that the Lord would see it. The sound of the ancient bells turned into painful groans that rang out over and over again, reminding these believers.
The rainy weather continued on Wednesday, and disease, hunger and cold attacked like demons. Many people fell down but there was no way to save them. The devil plants seeds in people's hearts but no one notices; cries for help are heard but no one lends a helping hand. By this time the devil had already begun to act the night before.
Thursday is a sad day. Kind believers voluntarily sacrificed their lives for their beliefs and gained eternal life. The gates of hell slowly opened. Ignorant passers-by peeked into the past but died of fear. The unknown truth was buried underground. An unknown person watched everyone's every move in the corner. He understood everything and knew everything but could not escape this cage. "
Friday was a sad day of silence. The laughter of children could no longer be heard in the church. Fear permeated everywhere around them like the circulating air. They threatened and clamored for everyone to submit to them until the betrayers proposed to offer them to the supreme god for forgiveness.
Everything was different on Saturday. The nuns stretched out their arms in the warmth and grabbed everything around them. The flames became their new clothes. The tramplers stepped on their bones to celebrate the perfect salvation. They shouted for the coming of the Lord, but no one noticed that the corpses under their feet opened their eyes. The monsters waiting in the darkness were also looking forward to the coming of night. "
Shh, I'm behind you sixty-one
Shh, I'm behind you sixty-one
"No one saw the light on Sundays. Crows and vultures became frequent customers here. In the repeated reincarnation, the truth kept collapsing and reorganizing, and finally an imperfect truth was formed. That was the truth, and that was also a false appearance."
The familiar children's voices sang in unison with a strange rhythm and melody, like reciting a hymn. It was hard to tell where the voice came from. It seemed to be right next to me, but also seemed to be floating from a very far away place, making it hard to understand.
After these children's voices read this passage three times, they fell silent, as if a radio had been unplugged.
The "people" who were moving also stopped as the sound stopped, and everything around them became quiet. After a brief silence, the sound of waves surging rushed into his ears, and the sound of clanging bells rang three times in Gu Ci's ears.
The lingering sound of the bell lingered in my ears, as if it was heralding something.
"Oh, Sister Ci, please come and take a look at this poor little guy with us. This little guy was abandoned while still drinking breast milk. Fortunately, the kind old nun rescued him. Look how cute he is!"
Just as Gu Ci was observing these people and trying to find the source of the bell sound, a voice called her.
A nun with her body burnt all over was looking at her with her eyes open and her sharp white teeth showing, her elbows slightly bent as if she was holding something.
Gu Ci didn't think it was a good thing for these people to come to him now. He moved his wheelchair backwards and found that his wheelchair had been blocked by the crawling nun and he couldn't move at all.
The nun on the ground was also burned to a state where she looked like a ghost, especially her lower body, which seemed to have been hit by something and was a bloody mess. Her entire lower body was deflated, with flesh and bones mixed together and connected by meridians, looking quite bloody.
"Sister Ci, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to take a look at this cute little guy?"
Seeing that Gu Ci was about to step back, the nun in front who was holding the unknown object tilted her head in confusion. She then smiled and moved closer to show Gu Ci what she was holding.
What she was holding was wrapped in a piece of cloth. From the outside, you couldn't tell what was inside. But when she opened the cloth with her burnt and cracked fingers, a small head was revealed inside. If you looked closely, you could see some cooked minced meat left on the head.
In addition to the skull, there were a few small bones lying alone inside. It was obvious that not even all the bones of this infant's skeleton could be found.
Gu Ci cooperated by sticking his head out to take a look without saying anything.
Seeing that Gu Ci looked at the thing in her hand obediently and was not scared, the nun was a little disappointed but she quickly wrapped the cloth in her hand again.
"You are such a brave person. Believe me, if someone hurts you tonight, there is a chance that it will be ineffective. I wish you a good time tonight."
The nun nodded at Gu Ci. She patted the empty package gently, as if she was coaxing a baby to sleep, full of kindness and care. She lowered her head and touched the head with her cheek, humming a lullaby, and slowly walked away.
The nun in front of him walked away, but there was another one under the wheelchair. When Gu Ci lowered his head, he could only see a hand with exposed bones and separated flesh tightly grasping his tire to prevent him from moving.
She almost got under Gu Ci's wheelchair. From his angle, Gu Ci couldn't see how her upper body was curled under his wheelchair. She tried to move the hand holding the wheelchair but she held it even tighter.
"Sister Ci, could you please help me clean up my bones and sew up my flesh? I feel like I can't walk anymore. I have to go to pray later, and the church is waiting for me to clean... But now I can't move my legs at all, and I have no feeling at all."
The nun in the wheelchair looked helpless and cried. She seemed to understand her own situation, but she didn't seem to understand that her body had become like this. Faced with confusion and helplessness, she just instinctively looked for someone who could help her.
"I'm sorry I'm not good at this. You can ask other nuns if they are good at manual labor and can help you."
Gu Ci spoke politely, and at the same time she was carefully observing the nun's reaction to her words. She could hear sobbing sounds coming from under her but there was no reaction.
Gu Ci twisted his body to look and saw that the hand that was originally holding his tire was retracted. The nun who was crawling on the ground slowly crawled out of the wheelchair and politely thanked
"Thank you for your reminder. I just don't understand why I became like this. If you can't help me, I'll ask someone else."
The nun raised her hand to wipe her tears and then looked up at Gu Ci. "You are a kind person. You are a little luckier than others in the game today. I wish you have fun in the game today. Goodbye."
Most of the nun's body had been smashed into a puddle. But she got up very quickly and disappeared from Gu Ci's sight almost in the blink of an eye.
If the so-called dawn represents the kindness of these people, and it is normal to answer their questions in the so-called dawn, then if these nuns are looking for questions tonight, it will definitely be fatal.
And the current situation is just like a battle against a big boss, and the NPC will frantically send you props and attribute points. As long as you answer, you will get blessings.
Gu Ci hurried up to the church to check. There were also believers asking her for some information or asking her for help. Gu Ci found that if she gave a relatively positive answer, she would receive corresponding blessings or other small props.
If she refused to answer, ran away, or ignored them, she would get something like a "curse" from them, similar to the weakness buff in her previous copy.
After trying all kinds of things, Gu Ci lost nothing, but also gained nothing.
In the "dawn" time which was shorter than yesterday, Gu Ci used the pulling thread to search the entire church, but he couldn't find a clock, not even a metal product.
Under Gu Ci's deception, the little butterfly had already laid on Bu Qing's umbrella waiting for Gu Ci, and he also obediently covered his eyes with his little paws, pretending not to see or hear.
The Mother Goddess asked him to lead the way obediently and not to peek, and he did it very seriously~
Hehe, he is the most loyal and obedient child of the Mother Goddess~Shh, I'm with you
Shh, I'm with you
Perhaps the bell serves as a warning to remind them that time is running out.
Gu Ci originally planned to go and see those players, but someone she didn't expect was waiting for her in front of her, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
Gu Ci watched the ray of light being swallowed up and simply stood there waiting. She supported herself and looked at Lian who was standing opposite her in the dark and gloomy corridor.
She watched as Lian was wrapped in frozen black fog at the moment the light fell. When the black fog faded away, Lian turned into a monster with snake scales on her body. Half of her face looked normal, and the other half was a snake face.
Two faces coexist on one head, and the same is true when she opens her mouth, revealing a tongue that is half snake and half human, like two bodies spliced together.
But apart from the weird spliced-together look on her head, the rest of her looks normal. She was still holding her left hand with her right hand. In the palm of her hand there was a candle that was almost burned out and was emitting a faint light.
It's so small that it looks like it will go out at any moment.
She stood in front of Gu Ci and looked at him coldly. Black fog gathered around her and a huge python formed and surrounded her.
The snake head looked huge and dangerous. Its black eyes stared at Gu Ci without blinking, as if it regarded her as prey. It looked ferocious, as if it could swallow Gu Ci in the next second.
"Sister Farewell!"
Lian's cold words broke the atmosphere between the two of them staring at each other.
Gu Ci moved his fingers, and the soft cotton thread stretched and straightened in an instant, becoming an almost invisible weapon. Gu Ci hooked the thread in his hand and played with it, waiting for the next step.
Lian took a step forward and looked at Gu Ci. The big snake next to her suddenly roared at Lian for some reason. It opened its mouth wide and its tongue swung in the air as if warning Lian of something.
Lian ignored him. She only took that one step forward and didn't move again. She lowered her head and put the almost burned candle in her hand on the ground. After carefully blocking the wind, Lian took another step back and said seriously:
"Please tell me if you can see this little glimmer of light?"
Gu Ci paused when she heard her question. She did not sense any malice from Lian, and the question was obvious. Gu Ci nodded, not understanding why Lian asked this question.
Lian on the other side saw her answer, she looked at Gu Ci very seriously and solemnly
"You have eyes that discover beauty. You can see unusual things in the dark. When you see a ray of light in the dark, please look for it. When you find it, you will rest for five minutes. I wish you a happy game today."
Lian turned and left after he finished speaking. The remaining light went out after he turned around. The giant snake hovered beside him and stared at Gu Ci. It only followed Lian after he had gone far away.
It seemed like she was waiting for me here just for this sentence. Could it be because of the necklace?
Gu Ci didn't necessarily think that this independent-minded and courageous girl would wait for him just for a necklace. The necklace was a favor item, sure, but it wouldn't make her do this.
She thought it would be An who would show up. After all, An's presence was much less noticeable here. She thought An would say goodbye to her.
Gu Ci groped his way forward in the pitch-black darkness until he heard a shattering sound, which sounded very much like the sound of a piece of wood breaking.
Gu Ci saw that after the breaking sound, some ashes of burnt paper appeared around him. The reply letter slowly rose from the ground, all the way above my head, and no one knew where it was floating to.
"Boom…"
A broken bell sounded without warning, and the broken bell continued to vibrate and emitted waves of lingering sound.
At this moment, the system's announcement also appeared in front of him. The blood-red words looked like they had just been written with red paint, leaving uncomfortable marks.
[In the eternal darkness, the monsters cannot see what is in front of them, but they have a pair of sensitive ears that can listen to the sounds around them.
At this moment, the strong beating heart becomes the best way to identify it. The final game mode of this copy: Shh, I'll start behind you.
Players need to control their breathing and try to make their hearts beat slowly. If their hearts beat a little faster, the monsters waiting for an opportunity will rush over and tear you into pieces.
Players are also requested to be careful not to bump into anything that can make noise when moving. In this game, please pay attention to whether there is an extra person behind you who is watching you.
Monsters are everywhere, so players please be careful to hide and avoid being found. Dawn means only those who survive will be qualified to leave.
In this game copy, wooden boxes engraved with crosses can be seen everywhere. There is a 30% chance of obtaining props after opening the wooden box, but there is a greater chance of obtaining mysterious surprises. Players, please be careful not to be found behind you. I wish you all a happy game! ]
After the system introduced the rules of the game, it disappeared. What followed was the ubiquitous sound of wind and the sound of dripping water, which was very quiet but very clear.
Gu Ci only remembered that the world was quiet at that moment. There was no breathing sound, and no other sound. Except for the sound of wind and dripping water stimulating everyone's eardrums, everything was so peaceful.
Gu Ci was also watching this trend. She waited there without moving. Even the little butterfly on Bu Qing's umbrella was affected by this atmosphere and did not move.
Because I just moved my body, the sound of the friction of the clothes was infinitely amplified. This tense atmosphere can easily make people extremely nervous and worry that someone will appear behind them silently.
Gu Ci waited for a while and heard no other sounds. He tentatively moved his wheelchair. The sound of the wheelchair touching the ground was extremely clear, and the creaking friction sound seemed to be recorded by a speaker and then amplified and played back.
Gu Ci quickly stopped moving, but at that moment Gu Ci heard a breathing sound approaching rapidly from far away against the background music of wind and dripping water.
The breathing sound was just as Zhou Yan described, like the breathing of an old man, old and with some wheezing sounds, but the frequency of the wheezing sound was very fast, like a dying person taking his last gulps of air.
Gu Ci could feel a person appearing out of nowhere behind him, and it gently placed its burnt and cracked hands on the back of Gu Ci's chair.
It grinned when it came into contact with something real. It stretched its head closer to Gu Ci and whispered to him with a voice full of hatred and disgust.
"Is that you...Sister Ci?"Shh, I'm behind you sixty-three
Shh, I'm behind you sixty-three
This kind of interaction, which is like that between the closest lovers, appears in this terrifying scene, which makes people feel creepy.
The hair beside Gu Ci's ears was blown gently, and the cold and moist air flow passed through the skin beside his ears and blew onto his cheeks, making people believe countless scenes in their imagination, especially the situation where they didn't dare to look back and there was a monster of unknown appearance waiting for them behind them.
For a normal person, encountering this situation would definitely frighten their heart and make it beat violently. Even the calmest person will be affected by the changes in the surrounding environment.
Gu Ci didn't move. From the corner of his eye, he could see the charred limb resting on the back of the chair next to his shoulder, waiting for his answer.
Gu Ci didn't let him wait any longer. He just flicked his fingers slightly and pieces of talisman paper appeared silently beside the person behind him. The delicate yellow talisman was outlined with bright red cinnabar. One glance showed that its power was much greater than those Gu Ci had thrown before.
However, the person next to Gu Ci had not noticed anything unusual. He kept blowing cold air towards Gu Ci, as if he was enjoying the dying struggle of his prey. The rotten and fishy smell coming out of his mouth made people feel nauseous.
And he didn't notice at all that in this dark scene that was almost invisible to both the players and himself, the scene that happened not long ago would be repeated. The only difference is that in the previous scene one could see the surrounding scene clearly, and Gu Ci's talisman paper was burning before, making it more obvious, but this time it was not burning, making it impossible to detect the existence of the talisman paper.
Gu Ci has learned a lot, but her learning is superficial and miscellaneous. If you ask her about the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, she may not know what they mean, but it seems that someone has taught her a little about this stuff before.
What's it called?
Gu Ci thought about it carefully and found that his memory was indeed not very good. He could not remember other people's names. He could only vaguely remember that others seemed to call him old blind man.
The old blind man also taught her a little bit before he died, so although her methods are not authentic and pure, they are definitely very lethal. After all, formations and talismans are also one of her ways.
Gu Ci felt his teasing intention but was not angry. She tilted her head to the side and used her hands to tidy up her hair that had fallen out of her headscarf. She smiled and said, "It's me, so what can you do? So my... Lord, how do you want to punish me?"
Gu Ci covered her mouth and laughed softly. She turned around and finally put Bu Qing on her shoulder to use the umbrella to separate herself from him. Gu Ci didn't care at all that the master would hurt himself because of the sound she made.
Because the moment Gu Ci opened his mouth, the yellow talisman floating in the air stuck tightly to the master's body and bound him, even sealing his mouth that was about to open.
The flames burned behind Gu Ci with an unwilling whimper. The yellow talisman was like a flexible rope that fixed him in place and prevented him from breaking free.
Gu Ci shook her neck to relieve the soreness. She turned around and looked at the master who was twisting on the ground. She was surprised to find that this talisman, which was more powerful than the previous one, could not burn the master to death immediately.
You should know that you can change the formation of your talisman formation at will. As long as you draw the talisman fast enough, it can be transformed into various formations. But now you are using the accumulated talisman paper instead of talismans. Although the power is not as strong as the talisman, it is equally not to be underestimated.
But it was obvious that the damage caused by the talisman this time was not even as great as that caused by the inferior talismans last time.
Is it the copy that is balancing?
Gu Ci listened to the background music with obvious dense dripping sounds, thinking deeply. She retracted the flame on the talisman paper and heard the dripping sound, which was as dense as rain, quickly become smaller and then returned to its original state.
Gu Ci looked at the Lord thoughtfully, but she also knew that she should not waste any more time here, so she naturally waved to the Lord who was glaring at her and left.
Those yellow talismans that were almost burned to only a trace of paper were disconnected long after Gu Ci disappeared from the master's perception area, using the remaining fire to burn out the last bit of their burning properties.
The master stood up in a panic, patted the ashes on his body, and looked in the direction where Gu Ci left in shock and anger, but he didn't dare to cause trouble for Gu Ci again.
He covered his wound with his hands in pain. When his hands touched the wound, he couldn't help but open his mouth and wail in pain. However, he couldn't cover his wounds at all as his whole body was covered with wounds.
The surrounding black mist slowly entered the Lord's body to nourish him. With the infusion of the black mist, one could visibly see that the Lord's condition had improved a lot, but the wounds on his body that were as cracked as tree bark did not recover.
The injection of black mist only alleviated his pain but could not solve it fundamentally. Having lost part of his power, it would take a long time for him to recover.
It's all An's fault!
Zhu's chest was about to swell with anger. Even though his heart wasn't beating, he just felt furious. At the beginning, he was the only one there and didn't even have a helper. He didn't know when Mary would be fired.
The Lord angrily turned into a pool of black mucus and merged into the ground, biding his time.
Gu Ci didn't worry about the Lord's matter. After all, she had obtained the key and could ensure her survival in this copy. But she was still thinking about who was the person who was watching them from behind.
Whether from clues or other aspects, the answer to this question is the Lord.
He can manipulate other people, such as Lei, and he is everywhere. In the church, he basically rules the world and no one can escape.
The matter was basically sorted out, but some of the conclusions Gu Ci had made before were overturned by himself.
The previous plot reasoning is consistent with what she sees now, but the unexpected appearance of a small butterfly that is invisible to everyone in the copy is a variable.
Putting him aside, are the bones in the stairwell those of believers or nuns? If they belong to one or both, then what is the reason for their existence?
Is it to help people find that basement?
If it is understood as an item refresh point, it makes sense. After all, this is something that everyone has experienced, and they have all obtained the finger bones.
So Mary is under that tree which means that Mary's body is buried under that tree, so Lian told himself not to get close otherwise Mary would know.
Previously, An and Lei had revealed that in order to start the retrospection, they needed to find the bones under the cross. An said that the bones were his own and that a key was needed to start the retrospection, but those people crushed the bones and scattered them around the church before they could open it.
From this point of view, can we understand that Ann is everywhere in this church? And from this incident, Ann is a very important person, otherwise her bones would not be chosen to start the backtracking.
Shh, I'm behind you sixty-four
Shh, I'm behind you sixty-four
But since I entered, I have seen Ann very few times, and her role is even less than that of Mary.
If we try to explain that An had fewer scenes or was even injured because his body was crushed, it is possible that this could be a forced explanation.
Since An's body was behind the cross in the church, Ci's body must be the one in the basement.
The wheelchair covered with flowers, the solemnly written words but only a few words, and the bones lying on the altar all indicate that the bones in the basement are the ones who died.
But it is obvious that the Lord knew the existence of the corpse. If he was able to find Ci's corpse, then why was he so determined to call himself Sister Ci?
Is it just because I'm in a wheelchair?
If the dead An can be resurrected into a state of neither human nor ghost, then why can't Ci, who also died, be resurrected?
Before, the nuns all said that Sister Ci was the one closest to the Lord. An Ye also revealed that this was a sacrifice, and the sacrificer was Sister Ci, which made sense. After all, in the past few days in the game, we can see Mary deceiving the believers to use their faith and the corpses of innocent nuns as nutrients to nourish and grow.
Now comes the most deliberate point.
An's unnatural walking posture during the retrospection and his skillful movements in the wheelchair in the basement made Gu Ci somewhat suspicious.
You have to know that before the retrospection, Gu Ci rarely saw An sitting, if not almost never.
An has always kept her hands folded and looked at the world indifferently. Except for herself, she is disdainful of other people. But after flashback, her behavior in the basement was very different from before.
If looking back represents the past, and if time and space are reversed and overlapped when looking back, then some special situations will occur.
After thinking it over again, Gu Ci finally confirmed what she was thinking. She lay back in the chair dejectedly and let out a sigh of despair.
So itchy.
I've been thinking for so long that I feel like I need to grow a brain.
So tired.
After working for so long, she felt like a mole, sneaking around in the dark for fear of being caught and beaten to death.
Little Butterfly's face turned red as he pushed the wheelchair desperately behind him, but no matter what he did, the wheelchair didn't move at all.
After trying hard for a long time, Little Butterfly curled her lips and bit her sleeve to try not to cry.
Wow, wow, wow, he clearly observed that there was an open space in front, so why couldn't he even push a small wheelchair?
If this happens, I will be severely laughed at by my other brothers and sisters when I go out.
Oh, oh, oh…
After the little butterfly bit his sleeve hard a few times, his eyes suddenly lit up. He found a box at the base of the rotten wall next to him.
He looked at Gu Ci and found that she was still lying there numbly, so he came to the small box by himself. The box was not big, it was a wooden box, but he could clearly feel a cross pattern on it.
The little butterfly sensed it carefully and wanted to take it back to present it to Gu Ci, but she didn't expect that when he took the thing, his hand went straight through the box, just like passing through the air.
Oh no, I forgot he is just air here.
The little butterfly withdrew her hand aggrievedly and went to find Gu Ci. Gu Ci was also curious about what could come out of this little thing.
Under the curious gaze of the little butterfly, Gu Ci watched his hands slowly open the ordinary box. After opening it, the monster that he had chased in the nightmare before stood in front of Gu Ci.
The monster held the cane with many human heads strung on it and sniffed the air hard. The strong stench coming from the cane almost made Gu Ci vomit.
She didn't expect it to appear so suddenly.
She just knew not to trust her luck too much. Is this the surprise of love?
Gu Ci turned his head without changing his expression, and the next second Huang Fu skillfully blocked the monster's mouth and tied him up like a dumpling.
Gu Ci threw the monster and his crutch into the corner and left them alone. The poor little thing was packed up as soon as it came out. It was really pitiful.
Gu Ci walked away quickly without any hesitation. Little Butterfly looked at her rolling wheelchair, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Gu Ci with admiration.
It turns out that the Mother Goddess's charm has reached the point where a wheelchair can move whenever it wants?
The little butterfly placed her hands on her chest and looked at Gu Ci with admiration. As she watched Gu Ci walk forward, the little butterfly quickly stood on tiptoe and followed Gu Ci in small steps in a weird yet cute posture.
No one knows how long this dark night will last.
When Gu Ci found An again, the outside had been occupied by many monsters. He didn't know how many boxes those people had opened to create such a chaotic situation.
Those alienated believers and nuns killed each other, and the embarrassed players struggled to avoid the attacks of various monsters that emerged one after another. The long night was boring and lively.
Gu Ci searched many places but couldn't find An. Finally, the little butterfly told her that there was someone on the roof of the church. Then she saw An sitting on the roof, feeling like she was going to fall down at any time.
An just sat on the roof and watched the show coldly. Her black clothes blended into the night and were difficult to distinguish. If the white bones around her could reveal some clues, no one would probably notice that there was someone staring at her above her head.
Gu Ci looked at An, then looked at his wheelchair and chose to call for help.
The blind girl sent Gu Ci up. An didn't look back and wasn't surprised. She seemed to have expected that Gu Ci would find her.
"Look."
An pointed at the believers and laughed, "How pathetic they are!"
Gu Ci followed her line of sight and saw the alienated Lei and a believer fighting over something, but their noise was so loud that their voices could be heard from a distance.
"Shh!"
An sneered and made a gesture to silence Gu Ci. She turned her head and looked at Gu Ci with a strange smile. "He will be here soon!"
he?
Lord?
Gu Ci also watched carefully, and just as she was thinking, she saw the Lord appear silently behind a believer and mercilessly take out a green and moldy heart.
But he didn't mind. After eating it in big mouthfuls, he did the same thing and took out Lei's heart and stuffed it into his mouth. What's different from ordinary people is that the two people who were fighting just now are now waiting obediently aside.
After their hearts were taken out and the Lord disappeared, they staggered away again.
Gu Ci looked back at An and waited for her to speak, but she didn't expect An to pay any attention to the farce below. She just quietly hugged the skeleton with her eyes full of reluctance and nostalgia.
"This wasn't supposed to be like this! These people were supposed to be puppets of the Lord. It's because I stole his power that things turned out like this."
, I'm behind you sixty-five
Shh, I'm behind you sixty-five
An looked at Gu Ci calmly with appreciation. She looked at him with satisfaction as Gu Ci tapped her cheek where the stitches were. Then she smiled.
"I like you. You escaped from that game so I will protect you. I used to be a very cheerful person, but too many things happened and I became tired of this world."
As she spoke, An stretched and leaned back in boredom. She didn't care at all about what she revealed. Maybe it was because she was bored, or maybe it was because no one had talked to her for a long time. An hugged the bones and started talking to herself.
"What I told you is true. Two helpless people came here and became animals in a pen. Mary kept inviting people from the town to come to the church to pray in order to create her so-called Lord.
The prototype of the Lord was born under the nourishment of various evil desires. At first, he only fed on some people's desires, but later, when his appetite grew, he was not satisfied with this. Mary was also willing to offer living people as sacrifices for eternal life. The people in the church became the best sacrifices. It was normal for a person to disappear for three months. After all, in the eyes of other nuns, it meant that he had gone to a bigger church or for other more ridiculous reasons.
I sent Ci away but I couldn't stay. The Lord took my soul and tied me to the cross in the church and transformed me into an obedient monster. That cross was stained with too much blood and too many sins.
He cut open my mouth and sewed it up for me because I said something rude, he said it was to help me become more sublime, but in fact it was just to torture me.
In order to make the birth of the Lord more perfect, Mary trapped everyone here. There was no food, no water, nothing. After waiting for a few days, the starving believers began to attack the people in the church. The young children were captured and kept in captivity. The nuns who reacted defended the church but were later burned to death in the church.
In fact, the people in the church did not surrender so quickly. It was Mary who stood up and became a traitor. If it weren't for her, it would have been impossible for these people to capture so many people.
And the transformed me stole the Lord's power on the most critical day. Xiao Ci, do you know I have never felt so happy! Although I haven't obtained it completely, but if they take away half of the Lord's power, Mary and the Lord cannot kill me at all. Although I am still controlled by the Lord, I will never fail to protect the people I want to protect again! "
Ann smiled disdainfully as she thought about everything that happened in the church. She patted the skeleton gently, as if she was coaxing it to sleep, full of tenderness.
Seeing that she had no ill intentions, Gu Ci carefully examined the skeleton, but because An blocked most of it, Gu Ci couldn't see it all.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Gu Ci asked her about the white bones in the flashback and Lian's words about Mary being under the tree. However, An just shook her head with amusement.
She looked at Gu Ci's face, which seemed a little distorted amid the whistling wind and dripping water.
"I was right. In addition to using the key I gave you, you also need to find my bones, crush them, and scatter them around the church to form a circle. Didn't you notice some subtle details?
Some corners are dilapidated and worn out, and the structure looks asymmetrical because some places were not sprinkled. My body is under the cross, and the Lord has been pressing on my body and does not want me to turn over.
As for Mary..."
An thought for a while, as if analyzing Gu Ci's words. After a while, she finally remembered and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"As for her, I became a monster and she became one too. The difference is that I killed her with a single blow and buried her under a tree. This was a very complicated process and it took me a long time to complete it. Look, isn't it!"
An pointed at Mary at his feet and showed a mocking smile. Seeing Mary looking at him, An showed a provocative smile and then turned to look at Gu Ci.
"Is the necklace lost?"
Gu Ci nodded and took out the necklace hidden by his clothes to show her. An just glanced at it and nodded. "Wait a few more hours and you can go out."
Gu Ci was also waiting, waiting for the time when he could go out.
What Gu Ci didn't expect was that in addition to Mary, the master was also staring at Gu Ci below the church. He gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Ci viciously, but he was speaking to An.
"Don't forget that no one can help you except me!"
An patted the skeleton's hand for a moment and her face turned grim. She looked back and said, "I don't need your help! I've already sent her away. You'll never find her again!"
An gently placed the skeleton beside him on the roof, took its hand and said firmly, "I believe I sent her away. It's useless for you to threaten me!"
An stood up, held the skeleton in her arms, gave the Lord the middle finger, and signaled Gu Ci to follow her. Seeing An jump down the church right under their noses, Gu Ci had no choice but to resign himself to following her.
The main thing is that there is no fun to be had if you don't go, so you might as well go and take a look.
Gu Ci waved his hand and the blind girl resigned herself to carrying Gu Ci down again. An ignored the Lord and Mary and stood there waiting for Gu Ci. Seeing Gu Ci coming down, she gently put the skeleton into Gu Ci's arms and pushed Gu Ci through them in a swagger.
Mary and the Lord seemed very angry, but they didn't plan to spend time on Gu Ci. There were other players on the field who could be nourished!
Here, An brought Gu Ci to the side of the bus. Although there was still an air wall and he couldn't get out, Gu Ci could feel that the air wall had become weaker. Just as Gu Ci had expected, the time was approaching.
In fact, she had a great advantage in the last stage. The other players were not so lucky. They would be discovered if they made the slightest noise. However, Gu Ci did not have time to feel sad for others.
An brought Gu Ci to the bus and told her not to make any noise, then sat down on the ground next to it. She hugged the skeleton tightly, staring straight ahead into the church, as if she could see it this way.
Gu Ci held the necklace in his hand and played with it, waiting patiently without any hurry. After an unknown amount of time, An suddenly got up and pushed Gu Ci to the door of the bus.
The bus door was open, as if it had been waiting here to welcome passengers.
Even though it never left.
This time when Gu Ci approached the bus, he did not feel the air wall. It seemed that it was time to leave. At this time, the system announcement also came out
[Please surviving players hurry to the bus within 30 minutes. If you fail to do so, you will be trapped in this dungeon forever! ]
An stood in front of the bus and lowered the step for Gu Ci. After trying hard to push Gu Ci up, An was silent for a long time and didn't know what to say.
She looked up at Gu Ci, her eyes filled with loss, nostalgia, and a hint of emotion. She wanted to reach out and tidy up Gu Ci's messy hair, but she couldn't get close to Gu Ci so she gave up. It seemed that there was a barrier at the door of the bus that repelled her.
