The bishop of the Illumination Church is not a human... but a Red Moon Monster
Xu Le remembered that Chi Xiao had told him about the classification of weird things.
The Red Moon and the gods are two systems, but the Red Moon itself also contains some of the existence of gods.
Gods require the power of faith, so is the so-called god of the Illuminati just a powerful monster
A weird god + red moon system named Glory
For some reason, when Xu Le thought that the so-called gods were nothing more than a weird system, the awe in his heart suddenly dissipated.
What was left, perhaps only was awe for the strong, and he no longer cared about his identity.
And Xu Le was quite curious about what the bishop's face was covered with.
Will it look like a human
Xu Le did not get an answer, and the bishop had already started talking about Wang Beichuan:
"Wang Beichuan, he used to be a very good pastor, what a pity."
"What happened to Wang Beichuan? Can you tell us?"
The bishop was silent for a while before he spoke:
“Mrs. Ju Ya has already spoken, so I will naturally help.
Besides, this happened ten years ago, and there is nothing to hide. Come with me."
Following the bishop, Xu Le and his companions came to a basement where a large number of corpses were stored, and the corpses that had not been destroyed...
However, Xu Le did not receive any hint from the ancient Yinduo secret language. It seemed that the corpses here would not be deformed.
The bishop seemed to know what Xu Le and the others were thinking, and suddenly said:
"Don't worry too much. The Illuminati also has ways to purify the darkness."
"knew."
Walking to a corner of the tomb, the bishop half explained, half pleaded:
“The death of the Illuminati is independent, and every priest who dies will be kept here.
That is Wang Beichuan, and all the things he left behind are here.
But ten years have passed. Even if he committed some sin, it should have faded away with time. I hope you won't desecrate the dead."
Xu Le nodded:
"Please rest assured that we will not do anything blasphemous. We are not here today to punish King Beichuan for his crimes, but only to fulfill his last wish."
"Last wish?" The bishop looked a little confused, but Xu Le did not explain too much.
The three of them walked quickly to Wang Beichuan's storage compartment. Apart from some illumination scriptures commonly used by priests, some props for prayer and blessing, there was only a diary.
"I hope there will be some clues."
When they opened the diary, Xu Le and the other two were shocked.
There are many ugly and distorted things drawn in this diary, unspeakable monsters, eyes in the dark, distortion, greed, desire, and gluttony.
Countless dark monsters appear on every page of the diary.
Wang Beichuan has a good foundation in painting, and one can seem to feel the guilt and anger when looking at his paintings.
Turn to the back and you will see his written records.
I received another beast today. Haha, I not only had to comfort it and enlighten it, but also bless it because it gave me money.
The diary was written with a heavy pen stroke, and Xu Le could even feel the anger in it.
Animal cruelty? Compared to those guys, this guy has a conscience.
Today I met a thief. Compared with others, he was as kind as a little white mouse.
There are many similar records, and Xu Le has always seen one of them.
Adulterer, adulterer, adulterer. That bitch actually had an affair with this adulterer behind my back. It’s unforgivable.
Adulterer? Is it cheating
Xu Le continued reading.
The adulterer said he was confessing, but in fact he was just showing off. I cannot be exposed. I want to kill him. I want to pull out his bones bit by bit. No, I want to stay calm. I want to record his death, their death.
This alarm clock will record his death at 12 o'clock.
He came to confess again, and the meeting was again late at night. I tied him up in the confessional, let the light shine on him, and then peeled off his bones bit by bit.
The bones of sin are really suitable for being pointers.
When Xu Le saw this, he was shocked. The bones of sin were used as pointers? Could that be the death knell
Although this world is bright, there are always places that the light cannot reach.
There are too many injustices and evils in this world, and I should purify them on behalf of light.
I have killed too many people, I wonder if I have killed any of them by mistake
I really wish I could go back to the beginning and listen to the blessing of light in the yard every day. Maybe then, my sins would be lighter.
When Xu Le saw this, he already understood what Wang Beichuan's last wish was.
He sighed deeply. Such a life can only be described as very sad, but also a little bit lamentable.
Perhaps Wang Beichuan was also doing this for the light and justice that he believed in.
"Your Excellency, can we take this away?"
"Can."
The bishop nodded. His reaction was minimal and he seemed calm from the beginning.
When Xu Le and the other two were halfway there, Xu Le suddenly turned his head and looked at this strange bishop:
"Does the Bishop know what Wang Beichuan did?"
“The light shines everywhere.”
The bishop did not answer Xu Le directly, but Xu Le already understood what he meant.
The Illuminati knows about this and may even be condoning it.
What does it mean
Connivance a priest to kill these people? Because these people are sinners
After thinking about it, Xu Le felt that the water here was too deep and it would be better not to get involved.
They are just a few small night watchmen, and they are here to unseal an ancient Yinduo relic to help them complete their mission.
Doing all these fancy things will only cause the captain to gently wake up your sleeping soul.
"Brother Shu, let's go quickly."
"good."
…
The three of them left the Illumination Church, and Gu Beichen belatedly asked:
"Xu Le, how do you know Madam Ju Ya? She actually offered to help."
"I met him at school." Xu Le said truthfully.
"I didn't expect you to be so relevant."
Gu Beichen curled his lips. After learning that Madam Ju Ya knew Xu Le, he felt that Xu Le's status and position were far superior to his own.
But these are all small matters. The big thing is the conversation between Xu Le and the bishop just now:
"Xu Le."
"What?"
"Were you just suspecting that the Illuminati allowed Wang Beichuan to kill people?"
Xu Le suddenly stopped, looked at Gu Beichen seriously and said:
"I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense!"
Gu Beichen also stopped and touched his chin:
"I feel that the bishop meant the same thing. Is that what you meant, Xu Le?"
"I'm suing you for defamation. Brother Shu is defaming me. Can you please keep his mouth shut?"
Wang Shu turned his head and pretended not to see it.
Xu Le had no choice but to hold down Gu Beichen:
"Keep your voice down. This is Uptown. Are you planning to let us get a pair of silver bracelets for free?"
"It's you, not us." Wang Shu added.
"I'm going to kill you all before I get caught."
Xu Le said viciously.
After leaving the church, Xu Le took out Wang Beichuan's information again, which included his home address.
"We're going to his house now."
"If it is the teaching of light, shouldn't it be in the church listening to prayers?"
"Wang Beichuan's last wish was to listen to the teachings of the light, but definitely not the teachings in the church."
"Why?"
"Because for him, the church is a place where sin is revealed and judged, and there is no light at all."
Xu Le didn't know if his understanding was correct, so he drew a card.
Red Card-Angel
Positive: correct, affirmative, approval.
The reverse side: faith.
"It seems that my judgment was correct."
"He's talking nonsense."
Gu Beichen was still very envious of the abilities of the Red Moon Warlock. After all, the abilities of the warlocks in the mysterious test were very unique.
Unlike him, even after reaching level 2, he can only set fire.
The three of them came to Wang Beichuan's home together. Because he was a pastor, Wang Beichuan had saved a lot of money while working.
So I bought a small yard at the far end of the river near the upper town.
When Xu Le and the other two walked into the yard, they found an old lady and a little boy about 10 years old in the yard.
The old lady sat in a rocking chair, basking in the sun leisurely.
The little boy who was doing his homework lay down on the stone bench and fell into a deep sleep.
The sunshine, the small courtyard, and the quiet grandmother and grandson made this place look like a painting, and Xu Le and the other two could not bear to disturb them.
The old lady noticed the arrival of the three people. She covered the child with the clothes in her hand, turned around and said to the three people:
"Come in and sit down."
"good."
Xu Le used the ancient sound multi-vision to scan the surroundings. Although there was unlikely to be any danger here, it was still necessary to be vigilant.
Sitting on the other side of the yard, the old lady poured a glass of water for each of the three people:
"What can I do for you?"
Just as Gu Beichen was about to speak, Wang Shu pulled him back. It was a subconscious move.
Wang Shu felt that something was wrong with the old lady in front of him, but he couldn't tell what was going on.
But Wang Shu felt that this situation should be left to Xu Le to handle.
"Xu Le?"
"Um."
It’s not that Xu Le didn’t want to answer, but that he couldn’t answer.
From the moment the old lady in front of him sat down, Xu Le couldn't move.
In fact, it’s not that he can’t move, but Gu Yinduo’s fate is strongly telling him not to move.
"Young man, they are all looking at you, do you have anything to say?"
Facing the old lady's question, Xu Le took a deep breath:
"I would like to... listen to your teachings."
The old lady shook her head slightly and said:
"The experiences of experienced people are mostly unreliable, so why do you want to listen to my teachings?"
Xu Le was silent for a long time this time. Certain memories came to his mind, making him lose his composure.
After a while, Xu Le adjusted his emotions in an ethereal state and said calmly:
“When I was little I used to steal my grandmother’s money.
When I grew up, I asked my grandmother: Do you know that there is less money
Grandma said: I know.
I asked again: Do you know why not change places
Grandma said: I’m afraid you won’t be able to find it.
Now…
I couldn’t find her.”
After listening to Xu Le's brief story, the old lady nodded, with a little more light in her eyes:
“In this short life, we will all die eventually. You might as well be bold, love someone, climb a mountain, and chase a dream.”
"I can't see the light. Now I can only see darkness."
"That's right. When the light is gone, the darkness should be borne by us."
Xu Le nodded. He felt that every conversation with the old lady was a confrontation:
"So what should I do?"
"Darkness and light embrace each other, and you should embrace them both.
You must remember everything, remember the skills you learned, remember the people who taught you, remember all the nightmares and darkness. "
"Then what?"
The old lady's eyes suddenly flashed with sharpness.
"Cut them."
…
When the three men left, the kind old lady leaned back in her rocking chair again.
The child had woken up. He looked at the old lady and asked:
"Teacher, was there anyone here just now?"
“A good student.”
"Aren't there three people?"
"It's a person." The old lady confirmed.
…
After leaving the yard, the three of them felt difficult to calm down.
"She is so strong." Wang Shu spoke first.
"Yeah." Gu Beichen also expressed his approval, but his legs were weak and he couldn't make any further comments.
In fact, the pressure these two people felt was far less than that of Xu Le.
However, Xu Le managed to hold on thanks to his ethereal state.
"With such teachings, it's no wonder Wang Beichuan would do such a thing."
"What did she say? My head was buzzing at the time, so I didn't hear clearly."
"I didn't hear it clearly either."
If only one person didn't hear clearly, it's understandable, but if both people didn't hear clearly, then there's a problem.
That old lady only spoke to him
Xu Le recalled the feeling of entering the yard just now.
He had only felt that kind of intense pressure from Chi Xiao.
“The so-called teachings of light are not the scriptures of the Illuminati, nor are they the prayers of the church, but the teachings of this old lady.
This old man may be the one who rings the death knell."
"The information shows that Wang Beichuan's parents had died a long time ago, but Wang Beichuan left behind a child. This should be the child. But who is that old lady?"
Gu Beichen had too many questions, Xu Le could only look at him expressionlessly:
"have no idea."
"I don't know this, I don't know that. As a night watchman, what do you know?"
"I only know that the captain told us to stay out of the Uptown area."
After hearing what Xu Le said, Gu Beichen could only shut up.
Xu Le slowly breathed a sigh of relief and took out the Deathstroke again. This large pocket watch was finally unsealed.
Deathstroke
Ancient Sound Relics-SU
Death Knell - Effect: When you set all the hands of your pocket watch to 12 o'clock, a death knell will be released that will make all souls tremble.
Reset - Effect: The clock can only be reset once per hour.
Introduction: I really want to listen to the teachings of light, so that my sins can be alleviated.
"Anyway, it was a success after all."
"Successful? Does that mean the next mission is a sure thing?"
Xu Le curled his lips. No matter how powerful a relic is, it is just a relic. The key lies in the person who uses the relic.
"Before the next mission, you should practice your ice element fruit.
It is said that after completely mastering the elemental fruit, one can transform oneself into an element, but I don’t think you can do that now.”
Gu Beichen blushed after being criticized by Xu Le, but he had no way to refute.
After holding it in for a while, he suddenly asked:
"So you have learned elementalization?"
Xu Le was silent for a while:
“Soon.”
"Then why are you pretending to be a hammer with me?"
…
After returning to the branch, Xu Le and the other two reported to Bai Jing.
The owner of this soul-calming relic is Xu Le himself, so the ownership of the relic, the Deathstroke, still falls into the hands of Xu Le.
"Xu Le, including the money for Deathstroke, you now owe the team 35,000. Do you have any ideas?"
"To be exact, it's 34,306.7 yuan. As for any idea, I don't have any.
A lot of debt is not a burden, it's not me who is in a hurry anyway."
Bang!
The Coke bottle hit Xu Le on the head. Bai Jing originally wanted to use an ashtray, but she was a little afraid that Xu Le would be hit to death.
"And now?"
"I think I should make good money, give back to the team, pay off my debts as soon as possible, and create a better tomorrow with everyone."
"Yes, that's right. There is some ideological awareness."
Bai Jing nodded, started writing on a piece of paper, and finally stamped it.
"This is your and Gu Beichen's leave note."
"Captain, I didn't ask for leave?"
"I know you didn't ask for leave, and you don't have to worry about anything else, because I'm giving you paid leave.
Both of you have eaten elemental fruits. It takes time to become familiar with and master Gu Yinduo's power.
You and Gu Beichen are both warlocks. If you can make some progress in a short period of time, you will be an important fighting force for the team."
After hearing the reasons given by Bai Jing, Xu Le nodded heavily.
"I understand, Captain. I will practice hard during this period of time."
"That's all, just do your best."
Xu Le hesitated for a moment, and Bai Jing asked directly:
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Captain, the number of people in the team is a bit short. Is there no way to recruit people?"
"I'm stuck. In terms of personnel, I have a better relationship with Wang Yueqin and others.
The explanations they gave were, first, self-recruitment, and second, the personnel committee would fill in the staff of our executive department before the end of the year.
What's the point of completing the list before the end of the year? By then, all six teams might be gone."
There was some helplessness in Bai Jing's tone, but in this kind of situation, it seemed that Xu Le, a small team member, could not help much.
Perhaps I can find a way using the identity of the Red Moon Warlock, but it might be too late before this mission.
"I understand then, Captain."
“You don’t have to worry too much about the team’s strength. On the 15th, I will apply for another team to carry out a joint mission.
Their team is quite capable, and with us, it should be enough to deal with the anomalies in Block 53.
Moreover, Gan has been promoted to level 2, and you and Gu Beichen have also obtained the Ancient Sound Multi-Element Fruit. Although Zhou Zimo is missing, the overall strength of our team has improved."
"clear."
After leaving get off work early, Xu Le strolled on his way home.
He organized his thoughts a little and made a training plan for the next 10 days in his mind.
The first thing he had to consider was the development of elemental electricity.
Not to mention such powerful abilities as elementalization of the body, one must at least have a basic grasp of elemental electricity.
Then comes the mastery of mental energy bullets, which requires thorough proficiency.
These two things are the most important, other practices can be put on hold for the time being.
"Unfortunately, if I go outside the city to practice, I'm afraid I won't be able to make money by fortune-telling for others."
At this time, Xu Le had already walked downstairs to the dormitory building. He was too busy today and had no chance to tell fortunes for anyone.
Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted:
"I just want to ask, does anyone need divination?"
Xu Le stood in the wind, looking disheveled. Only a few passers-by glanced at him and left a comment:
"Stupid."
"Okay, go home and play video games."
