While being imprisoned in the Demonic Prison, he wanted to die every day.
but...
He wanted to see her again...
And now, finally, finally...
Seeing such a sacred and noble Sheng Yajie, tears couldn't stop flowing from Zhao Chen's eyes...
She's doing well, well, it's just wonderful...
At this moment, Zhao Chen seemed to have no regrets in his heart.
Maybe it doesn't matter if you die like this...
but.
"Zhao Chen, do you know you were wrong?"
Sheng Yajie's calm voice came from outside the prison door.
She is still the same as before, no matter what, her tone is always so kind.
However, regarding the content of this sentence, Zhao Chen's pupils were filled with confusion.
wrong?
"I...I don't know..."
He shook his head in confusion.
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Sheng Yajie's eyes showed hopelessness, but immediately, her eyes became compassionate again.
"Zhao Chen, you have offended the great Holy God. This is blasphemy and intolerable blasphemy."
She said sadly to Zhao Chen.
"Now, do you know your guilt?"
"I..."
Zhao Chen had a sad smile on his face.
"I am guilty..."
It doesn't matter...it doesn't matter whether you know you are guilty or not...
Everything doesn't matter anymore...
As long as Sheng Yajie is fine, it doesn't matter...
It's just a pity... From now on, he can no longer protect her... This must be his regret in this life...
"According to the newly revised Chapter 9 of the Eternal Holy Record "Holy Penal Code", you have committed an unforgivable sin of blasphemy and deserve to be burned. However, Holy God has mercy. Your fault lies in " Before the revision of the Holy Penal Code, the Lord’s heart was broad.”
"The great Holy God forgives your death penalty."
Sheng Yajie looked at him with a pious smile praying to the Holy God and said.
"Forgive...my death penalty?"
After hearing these words, Zhao Chen couldn't turn his head around.
"Yes, the great and merciful Holy God has forgiven you of your death penalty."
Sheng Yajie clasped his hands together.
"but."
The words changed.
Sheng Yajie's gold-plated pupils looked at Zhao Chen.
"Death sin can be avoided, but living sin cannot be escaped. Although the great and merciful Holy God has forgiven your death sin, your previous blasphemy is undeniable. From now on, you will become the atonement for your previous sins. An act of blasphemy initiates the rite of redemption.”
Just after Sheng Yajie finished speaking.
A nun took out a collar engraved with the inscription of the power of the Holy God.
Looking at this collar, Zhao Chen was stunned.
"After putting it on, you will become the [Gatekeeper] of the Holy Church for the duration of your life."
"Pray sincerely, Zhao Chen, this is the opportunity given to you by the Holy God, the opportunity to atone for your sins."
Sheng Yajie looked at Zhao Chen and said to him compassionately.
Hearing this, Zhao Chen looked at the collar and his whole body was trembling.
"Open the cage."
The paladin watched this scene from the side and asked the super soldier guarding the magic prison to open the cage.
"Miscellaneous..."
The cage was opened.
The nun placed the collar in front of Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen slumped down with dull eyes.
His hands couldn't stop shaking as he picked up the collar.
He pursed his white lips tightly and looked at Sheng Yajie.
"If I put it on, can I still protect you..."
In response, Sheng Yajie looked at him softly and smiled.
"What you protect is not me, but the great Holy God."
Hearing these words, Zhao Chen showed a smile on his face.
"I...I understand..."
After saying that, Zhao Chen untied the collar tremblingly and put it on his neck.
The next moment, the collar automatically tightens!
The inscriptions representing the power of the Holy God are shining brightly!
At this moment, Zhao Chen could clearly feel that this collar had become one with his flesh and blood, as if it had become his organ.
But the control of this organ does not lie with him...
To put it simply, it is like a cancer cell that can mutate at any time.
Once you have ungodly thoughts in your heart...
It will swallow up everything about him, flesh, blood, bones and even soul...
But, it doesn't matter...
He just wanted to protect her...
"Bah..."
Just as he had this thought, a sharp pain suddenly hit him from his heart.
It was as if his heart had been cut into pieces by a thousand knives!
He couldn't help but roll on the ground and howl.
Seeing this scene, Sheng Yajie couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
"Zhao Chen, it seems that you haven't truly become a pious person yet. Once you become truly pious, you should walk out of here on your own."
After saying that, Sheng Yajie turned around and left with the people.
"Sheng Yajie...Sheng Yajie..."
Zhao Chen looked at Sheng Yajie's leaving back, screaming and wailing. He cried and grabbed her.
But her figure is getting further and further away.
Since then, pain has been tormenting Zhao Chen, making his thoughts become confused and his personality becoming lax...
But eventually, he came to his senses.
He finally came to his senses.
The pain no longer bothered him.
He burst into tears.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, great Holy God, I was wrong, I am humble and ask you here, Great Holy God, forgive me for my blasphemy..."
The pain that had plagued him for several days passed...
What flowed out of Zhao Chen's eyes was no longer tears, but blood.
He was trembling and embarrassed...
He struggled, under the indifferent eyes of the super soldiers, and the pitiful eyes of his former subordinates...
Like Zhao Chen, they also wear atonement collars on their throats, and together with Zhao Chen, they will become the [Gatekeepers] of the Holy Church until this life...
....
With a jolt, Zhao Chen walked out of the Forbidden Demon Prison.
When the light from the outside world shone on his face, he felt that the world was so beautiful.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
And just then!
The bursts of roaring artillery fire from a distance frightened him.
"What, what a sound!"
He held his head in his hands, like a frightened bird, and said in horror.
"That was the salute of the victorious return of our Shenjing Pioneer Corps. Today is a day of celebration for the entire Shenjing, and it is also a day of victory in the development."
A somewhat complicated voice came.
Zhao Chen turned his head and looked blankly.
Behind him, he saw a very familiar figure standing.
"Zi, Zi'ang?"
He looked at him blankly.
Different from his embarrassment.
At this moment, Yuan Ziang was wearing a very fitting, neat and handsome Shenjing military uniform.
Compared to him, they were like people from two different worlds.
"Leader Zhao Chen, you're fine."
Yuan Ziang looked at him and sighed.
"Heh...hehe...hahaha...hahahaha!!!"
Hear this sentence and see this scene.
Zhao Chen laughed and cried.
He laughed very freely and cried very freely.
"It's you, hahaha, it turns out to be you!! I finally understand...I understand..."
"ginger..."
Before he could finish the last word, a sharp pain hit him again.
Zhao Chen covered his head tightly, gritted his teeth and forced a smile as he changed the title.
"Great Holy God...I lost, I lost...At this moment, your humble servant Zhao Chen is completely convinced of defeat!"
"And you, Yuan Ziang!"
He looked at Yuan Ziang and cried loudly.
"You have to buy me a drink! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be so successful!"
"Drink! I'll treat you to this wine! Just like you said, if it weren't for your trust, I wouldn't be so successful!"
"Yuan Zi'ang! You are such a hateful bastard!"
"Zhao Chen, you too, you are a pathetic bastard."
"Hahaha, yes, bastard, you and I are both bastards! The bastard invites the bastard to drink, so happy! Tell me, where to drink?"
"Temple Square! If you want to drink today, there's no other place to go!"
"..."
"What, are you scared?"
"Oh, what are you afraid of? From now on, the Holy Temple Square will be the place I guard! Can I be afraid anymore? Let's go!"
"Let's go! Today, I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
