After that day, life everywhere seemed to be calm again.
According to the usual life of his predecessor, Chen Heng went to class and lived a monotonous life every day as usual.
It's just that compared with the past, at present, there seems to be some distance between him and the original partners of his predecessor.
And now, even though he leaves school, he seldom goes home. Instead, he often goes to a nearby church to listen to the priest's prayers.
"We are all children of the Mother, children of the Virgin"
"Mother raised us with her great strength, so that we can build this beautiful world and make the world more beautiful and harmonious, rather than destroying and killing"
Bursts of speech came from the podium in front, and it sounded very intense.
On the podium ahead, the priest in a black robe was explaining seriously as always.
But everywhere, the people around listened to his words, and some of them were already drowsy.
For an adult, the story told by the priest is really boring.
Even the truth revealed in it makes people feel unmotivated, and there is nothing to say at all.
Even some senior believers can't help but feel a little bored at this moment.
However, Chen Heng was an exception.
In the dark, he is still carrying out his own little tricks, gaining the power of faith in it every day, and stealing the power of the Virgin.
But on the surface, he seemed to be concentrating, as if he was listening to the priest's explanation seriously, even very seriously.
This is what he did on purpose.
After all, there must be some special reasons for coming to this church so frequently.
Therefore, he deliberately showed that he was very interested in the Order of the Notre Dame as a disguise.
In this way, the suspicion of others can also be avoided.
At this moment, it has been almost half a month since I came here for the first time.
But it's a bit strange to say.
Although half a month has passed, the power of faith on the statue of the church in front of him has not diminished much.
Although Chen Heng would come to absorb it every few days, there were too many believers of the Holy Mother, so every once in a while, the power of faith entangled in it would accumulate again.
This is also the reason why Chen Heng comes here often.
After all, only by coming over many times can the newly accumulated power of faith be collected.
Of course, Chen Heng can also choose to go to other churches.
Judging from the situation of this church in front of him, in other churches, he should also have accumulated a lot of power of faith, which can be collected by him and transformed into his own divine power.
But in this case, the problem comes.
At least on the surface, his current body is still a junior high school student.
If you are too far away from your own school, it is not very convenient after all.
And the church not far from his residence and school is the one in front of him.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Heng comes here frequently, almost every day after school, he will stop by to have a look.
Of course, although this is a disguise, from the outside, this seems to be a manifestation of extraordinarily pious faith.
The sound of prayers gradually fell.
In the surrounding area, the hymn that was originally playing slowly fell, gradually returning to calm.
This also marks the end of this speech and prayer.
Feeling all this, Chen Heng calmed down, picked up his schoolbag silently, and prepared to leave.
In normal times, this is what he did. Every day after school, he would sit here for a while, and then leave after the prayer was over.
This is usually the case, but on this day, there were some surprises.
"Wait a minute."
Beside him, a voice fell and rang in Chen Heng's ear.
Hearing the voice, Chen Heng's footsteps paused, as if he was a little surprised.
He turned around, looked back, and found that beside him, a middle-aged man in a black robe had unknowingly walked over.
The middle-aged man was wearing a decent black priest's robe. He looked reasonable, and his appearance was very kind. At this moment, he walked to Chen Heng's side, looked at him and said, "Son, you seem to come here often recently."
He looked at Chen Heng in front of him, and said so.
"Yes."
Chen Heng showed a smile on his face, showing some appropriate respect: "I have a great longing for the Holy Mother, and I hope to come here and listen to the baptism of the Holy Mother."
After the voice fell, the middle-aged man suddenly showed a smile on his face: "Is that so?"
"That's not bad. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer children like you who are full of gratitude and longing for the Holy Mother."
He spoke, and then asked a few more questions: "What do you think of the ten promises in the legend of the Virgin Mary?"
"The Ten Covenants between the Holy Mother and mortals stipulated the boundary between man and god, what belongs to man belongs to man, what belongs to god belongs to man."
Standing in place, Chen Heng smiled, and then said softly: "In my opinion, this is the mercy of the Holy Mother, because people themselves belong to the Holy Mother, and everything they have is like this."
"Since people themselves belong to the Virgin, where is the limit?"
"The reason why the Holy Mother is like this is because she loves her children."
He spoke softly, speaking casually.
These days he came here to listen to prayers. Although the main experience was on stealing the power of faith, he also listened to a lot of things.
After all, for him, it's not too difficult to be distracted, it's just common.
Therefore, after a period of time, he naturally had some explanations of his own, and it was not a problem to fool others.
Sure enough, listening to Chen Heng's words, the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him lit up, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.
"can not tell."
He spoke seriously, with a little joy on his face: "My child, you are not very old, but you have such a thorough understanding of the teachings of the Holy Mother."
"I wonder if you would like to be our sacrificial priest here?"
He opened his mouth and said, so invitingly.
"The sacrificer?"
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, but was a little surprised.
"right."
The middle-aged man smiled, then looked down at Chen Heng's schoolbag, and then said, "You should be a student at your age."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Being a priest of our church is just hired by us to help out here, and it will not affect your studies."
"You can come here when you are free, and come here to help."
He thought for a while, and then added: "Of course, we will also give you a certain amount of remuneration. Although it is not much, it is also a salary."
"Thanks."
Hearing this, Chen Heng smiled, then nodded: "I am very happy."
In order to steal faith and gain divine power, he had to come to this place often.
With or without the work of the sacrificial priest, it is actually the same.
However, Chen Heng thought that if he had the job of a sacrificial priest, he might be able to use it to contact other churches in the future, and even use this reason to solve some troublesome matters.
It's not bad.
So, he thought for a moment, and then agreed.
Seeing Chen Heng nodding his head in agreement, the middle-aged priest in front of him seemed very happy, so he took Chen Heng to the side and quickly gave him a suitable set of priestly robes.
Afterwards, a nun stepped forward and explained the rules of the church to Chen Heng.
After a while, Chen Heng left here.
He walked towards the outside world, and soon his body froze again.
Because at this moment, he could feel that an inexplicable aura was pervading.
Standing where he was, he looked into the distance, already feeling something at this moment.
"My.Spiritual imprint"
He turned around and looked towards a certain direction in the distance. At this moment, this thought flashed through his mind, and he muttered to himself at this moment.
Before that, the mental imprint he left had disappeared, and there had been no response for such a long time.
He originally thought that this spiritual imprint might have completely disappeared, and he would no longer be able to sense it anymore.
Unexpectedly, at this time, it appeared again.
However, although the spiritual imprint was perceived again, the feeling brought by this imprint was somewhat wrong.
In Chen Heng's induction, the situation of the person who was attached to the spiritual imprint seemed to be a little wrong at the moment.
It seems that it is being shrouded by some unique force and is being entangled.
Standing in place, feeling this feeling, Chen Heng thought for a moment, then raised his head, walked forward silently, and walked away into the distance.
With his schoolbag on his back, his movements didn't seem too fast, and he could even be said to be very slow, but he disappeared very quickly and left the street.
In the distance, an inexplicable breath appeared.
In a deep old alley, two figures were covered in blood, trying to walk out.
"Lao Yang, hold on!"
The young man was wearing a black robe, blood was all over his body at the moment, and his face looked a little hideous. He tried his best to pull the middle-aged man beside him, trying to run out.
"I can still hold on."
Beside the young man, Yang Cheng was gasping for breath. At this moment, the boss with wide eyes looked a little scary.
Of course, the same is true in fact.
At this moment, if someone is standing beside them, they will definitely be shocked by their appearance at this moment.
On the young man's body, black blood was stained, dyeing his entire body black.
On his body, there are dense wounds in many places, especially on the right arm, where a large piece of flesh is missing. It looks like it was bitten off by some creature. It looks like Very scary.
As for Yang Cheng on the side, it looks the same.
Standing beside the young man, Yang Cheng's face was pale, without the slightest trace of blood, and his body was extremely stiff.
On his body, one after another fine black marks are emerging, entwining around his body at this moment, looking particularly conspicuous.
A series of scales penetrated from the surface of his skin, and from time to time, one eye could be seen opening suddenly, emerging from his body, looking extremely controllable.
"That's true."
Feeling the situation on his body, Yang Cheng showed a wry smile on his face, and said at this time: "Some time ago, I finally survived, and I thought I was lucky."
"It turned out that I didn't expect that I was recruited again this time."
"Stop talking so much."
On the side, the young man gritted his teeth. He seemed to feel something at this moment. He pulled Yang Cheng up and walked forward quickly.
Although ordinary people may not be able to feel it, with the keen perception of the two of them, they can clearly feel some abnormalities.
In the surroundings, it seems that there are pairs of invisible eyes that are opening at this moment, watching them secretly at this moment.
What was there before is still there.
Feeling this, the young man gritted his teeth, pulled Yang Cheng hard, and walked forward desperately.
Fortunately, this is an old alley, and it doesn't look like there are many people around, and there are not many people around.
Otherwise, if ordinary people saw their appearance, they would be really frightened.
But at this time, the young people couldn't care too much.
Because in their senses, there is already an inexplicable existence coming behind them, and it is about to catch up.
"Here they come. They come"
Yang Cheng raised his head and shuddered suddenly. He spoke like this at this time, as if he was a little more awake.
On his body, scales appeared one after another, completely covering the surface of his skin, which looked terrifying.
An invisible force enveloped his whole body, trying to swallow him completely.
But by this time, he couldn't care too much.
At this moment, the only thing he could think of was to run as far as possible.
"Go!"
He shouted in a low voice, and at this moment his face was full of anxiety.
On the side, the young man immediately understood, and immediately pulled Yang Cheng forward, trying hard to leave.
All around, a strange mist is spreading, and at some point it has completely enveloped this area, making it look hazy and extravagant.
And in this mist, a tall figure slowly appeared indistinctly, and was slowly moving forward at this moment, preparing to go in the direction where Yang Cheng and the two were.
The sunlight outside was dim, and there was only a sunset left at this moment.
But under the setting sun, Yang Cheng and the two couldn't see too many things clearly, they could only see pairs of scarlet eyes opening in the mist, staring forward at the moment.
In an instant, a cold air emerged from the two of them, and they were trembling from top to bottom, instinctively feeling fear.
In their bodies, the power of the curse that was originally deposited seems to feel something at this moment, and it is starting to riot and gradually start to boil.
An invisible force is permeating, emerging from their whole bodies, and covering them up to this point.
In an instant, they felt this situation, and then they looked at each other, and they could see the palpitations in each other's eyes.
"run!"
Without the slightest hesitation, when they felt the boiling power of the curse in their bodies, their colleagues raised their heads and started running wildly towards the outside world.
Tread Tread.
There were bursts of light noises.
In the surrounding area, in the foggy place, a sound of footsteps seems to be ringing non-stop, resounding continuously in the surrounding area.
Yang Cheng and the two kept moving forward, wanting to leave this area.
It's just weird that no matter how they move forward, they can't leave the area in front of them.
The surrounding fog was exceptionally deep, as if covering everything in the surrounding area, and condensed into a small area, making it impossible for them to escape.
Feeling this situation, their hearts couldn't help sinking, and at this time they couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition.
Looking at the current situation, if they want to go out, it may not be so easy.
This area has already been eroded by the power of the curse. In this area, they can't escape at all, they can only struggle feebly.
But even so, there is a struggle.
In this world, no one should be willing to die obediently.
Even people like them are the same.
It should be said that it is precisely because they have a strong desire to survive that they have been able to go all the way to the present and live to this moment.
Those who are not strong enough to survive, and their will is not strong enough, have already fallen under the erosion of the curse.
And they have been able to go all the way to the present, which has already explained something.
Therefore, even in the face of the situation in front of them, they did not give up. Instead, they gritted their teeth and continued to rush forward.
Under their gaze, they quickly came to another area.
"Damn it!"
When they saw the scene ahead, their expressions couldn't help but turn ugly.
In front of him, a sealed wall emerged.
Under the surrounding fog, they couldn't see the scene in front of them clearly, so they walked to a dead end without knowing it, and blocked themselves directly.
Looking at the scene in front of them, and understanding their current situation, both of them looked a little unhappy.
But now, even if they want to regret it, it's too late.
Behind him, the sound of heavy footsteps sounded slowly, and it just came from a distance.
From the point of view of the two of them, this burst of footsteps sounded extraordinarily heavy, like the footsteps of a huge monster, and it was extraordinarily conspicuous.
And as the footsteps got closer, behind them, in the misty mist, a huge figure seemed to become more and more obvious.
It was an extraordinarily huge figure, just looking at the body, it was more than three meters tall, it looked like a little giant, and it was extraordinarily majestic and terrifying.
Because of the cover of the fog, they couldn't see the monster's appearance clearly, they could only see his scarlet eyes.
Those were a pair of eyes full of violence and greed, as if they were full of desire for flesh and blood, and the desire to devour living beings.
But at this moment, he is walking step by step from the outside world, which is particularly conspicuous.
With the sound of his steps, Yang Cheng and the two also had some abnormalities.
An inexplicable breath emerged, surging from their bodies, carrying bursts of heat.
It seemed that as the figure in the distance approached slowly, the power of the curse in their bodies would also be aroused, and it was about to explode like this.
"Damn it!"
There were more and more scales on Yang Cheng's body, and even his face began to have some distortions, an inexplicable change.
As for the youth on the side, the same is true.
