"The place of execution, the Suoluo Gate..."
After walking out of the Cathedral of the Ascension, a bright and warm light fell on Giovanni, and the dust turned into tiny particles of light that undulated in the wind. He was completely unaware of this and was still murmuring the name he heard in a low voice.
"You can actually let the Lord send revelations twice. You won't be so lucky to escape this time."
"Giovanni?" came a somewhat unexpected voice.
"Huh?" Giovanni stopped when he heard the call. He looked up and saw a blond man with a tall and three-dimensional nose and gray-green eyes as deep as lakes greeting him. He looked surprised, and then he looked like Thinking of something, he quickly saluted, "Salute to you, Knight Commander."
Although Giovanni is often compared to the Knight Commander, his rank in the church is one level lower than that of the Knight Commander, so it is still necessary to salute.
The Knight Commander waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, my brother."
"I'm very happy to see you again." After the two parties exchanged greetings for a while, Giovanni asked: "Are you okay?"
"With the blessing of the Lord, I just died once and returned to the Lord's side temporarily. But the mortal world still needs my hard work, so I soon left the Lord's side and came to the mortal world." The Knight Commander shook his head and talked about this. The topic made this handsome man seem a little gloomy, "It's just that those brothers who have a mental breakdown are not so lucky..."
Giovanni said: "Then they..."
"One-third of the elite knights witnessed the evil, their minds were polluted and their spirits were alienated. Even the Lord could not save them. Most of the remaining people became infinitely divided and out-of-control flesh. When they were rescued from our Lord's side, their spirits It has long since been exhausted and fell into eternal sleep..."
"How could this happen?" Giovanni was stunned. Although he had vaguely heard the relevant news while working overtime a while ago, he did not expect that the losses would be so heavy.
The knight commander shook his head and sighed: "In retrospect, I am afraid that the evil god has already understood the Lord's gift to us. She injected the evil factor into the knight's body to induce distortion, and used unknown means to analyze the Yaoshou Technique, and withered. The death effect is reversed into a proliferation effect, releasing the physical growth restriction, and the cells begin to divide and grow without limit..."
"It sounds a bit like...cancer..."
Giovanni had read some Old World classics, and that was how the disease was called.
At that time, people talked about this disease with disdain and feared it like a tiger.
Out-of-control cells will tear and destroy normal cell tissues, wander around and invade other organs and tissues, take nutrients to strengthen themselves like parasites, divide, replicate, grow and grab more nutrients without limit in the patient's body, and ultimately Kill the patient…
"It is said that when cancer reaches an advanced stage, patients will be tortured by a kind of severe pain called cancer pain. Many patients are tortured by this pain until they are mentally and physically exhausted, and even request to stop further treatment... It is really hard to imagine how painful it is." Giovanni felt a little scared and guessed, "So are they in pain to the point of mental breakdown?"
"No, their spirits did not collapse in pain..." The Knight Commander shook his head to deny his guess, staring directly at him, "They drove themselves crazy."
Giovanni didn't understand what he meant for a moment: "Huh?"
"After the divine evil liberated the physical growth restrictions of the knights, the knights' flesh mutated." The knight commander rubbed his forehead with a gloomy expression, "Their bodies swelled into balls like blowing balloons. Their eyes, noses, Mouths and ears grew out of their bodies and faces one after another..."
Giovanni: "Huh? This..."
The knight commander described it in a low voice, and his thoughts gradually drifted back to the tragic battlefield along with the description.
A nose, eyes, mouth, and ears gradually grew out of a ball of flesh with a hideous appearance and a size similar to that of a human. They grew randomly and arranged randomly, gradually forming twisted, hateful faces on the surface of the ball.
Thousands of people have thousands of faces, with different joys, angers, sorrows and fears.
The Knight Commander was among countless sarcoma-like flesh balls.
Some faces laughed loudly and danced with ecstasy, inviting him to become one of them.
Some people have angry faces
, like a madman waving his tendrils to attack his former boss.
Some people were wailing and crying, begging him for mercy.
Some people screamed in horror, their livers and gallbladders were split apart, and they wanted to escape from his pursuit.
The knight commander in the chaos of the demons showed no mercy or hesitation. He raised his sword and killed his companions one by one.
The meat mass was cut open, revealing pieces of gray-white brain tissue hidden under the flesh.
Behind each face grows an independent brain.
And the god who caused all this is smiling from a distance, watching him slowly move forward. Green buds break through the girl's delicate and fair skin and grow out. Her fair and slender thighs turn into twisted roots that take root in the earth, and her long blue hair dances in the wind. I don’t know when it turned into branches covered with green leaves, constantly twisting, and a smile appeared on the beautiful semi-fibrous face, which looked both charming and weird.
Then she raised her hand covered with green buds towards the knight commander on the other end and slowly stretched out her fingers.
"You're next."
boom!
Her words hit the knight commander like a projectile. The latter only felt his chest sink, and then clusters of green buds burst out of his chest, blood splashed, the green buds sprouted and grew rapidly, and his body shriveled up even faster. Shrinking down, under his horrified gaze, the green bud branches swallowed him up in the blink of an eye, turning him into a half-man, half-tree monster.
"Knight Commander...Knight Commander!"
The call in his ear shattered the nightmare, and the knight commander suddenly came back to his senses. The scene in front of him quickly returned to the real scenery - there was no companion who turned into a flesh ball, there was no abomination that looked like a tree and a human being, and neither did he. Transformed into a half-human, half-tree monster.
The first thing that caught the Knight Commander's eyes was the concerned Giovanni. He seemed to have noticed something unusual and waved his hand in front of the former: "Knight Commander, what's wrong with you?"
After a brief daze, he remembered everything. He was standing in front of the Cathedral of the Ascension, chatting with Giovanni who was passing by before waiting to see His Majesty Pope Saliva.
The knight took a long breath and rubbed his forehead harder: "It's okay, I just took a short walk to regain my consciousness."
Giovanni had no doubt that he was there: "It's okay. There is a brain behind every face... According to what you said, the ability of the gods is more than just liberating the growth restrictions of the body... Re-birthing Life, can the evil deity really achieve this level?"
The knight commander said: "After all, they have disobeyed the Lord, and even once split and stole the Lord's authority and power. It is normal for them to be able to exercise part of the Lord's authority..."
"Then what are you going to do next?" Giovanni asked, "Are you going to take on a god who can exercise authority as your opponent?"
As one of the violent organs of the church, the Knights are now almost completely wiped out. They have suffered a heavy setback. It may not be easy to launch another siege.
"certainly."
Surprisingly, the knight commander seems to be confident about this.
"The Lord has sent a revelation, and everything is under His control..."
Giovanni seemed to understand something and smiled knowingly.
“Just follow the Lord’s revelation in everything.”
"Well, everything follows the Lord's revelation..." Juqu Pavilion...
This heresy hunt is finally coming to an end.
In just two weeks, the 20 existing blocks and ten districts in Tianqi City have been affected by this large-scale persecution, which has caused panic and made people miserable.
Earlier, a group of evangelical monks who participated in the heresy trial destroyed the headquarters of the Flying Spaghetti Cult and captured all the heretics gathered there. Many of the cadres present and the great prophet Manxi were arrested, and the remaining believers also fled in all directions. , the Flying Spaghetti Cult exists in name only.
Today, with the public executions by the church, the heresy trials will also enter the final stage.
Considering that it would be difficult to capture the Axis cult alive, and the persecution of the Flying Spaghetti Cult to force the gods to appear, etc., the final trial decided to publicly burn these heretics at this time. On the one hand, it was to give these heretics Attack heresies with an iron fist; on the other hand, it also strengthens the authority and control of the church. It first kills the chicken to scare the monkeys, and uses the cruelest execution method to make the criminals in the neighborhood look at what will happen if they believe in the heretic church here.
field. Then perform the miracles of the Lord to give rewards to the sinners, so that their faith will become more pious and loyal.
If you give a whip, you must give another candy.
So this is not just an execution, but a performance.
A few days ago, the construction of the burning platform was completed. In order to allow more people to see the performance, the burning platform was built high and large, and the row of towering burning pillars was even more eye-catching. No matter from which angle in the square, it was very eye-catching. You can see the flying face believers hanging on it, and in order for more people to watch, the church's unique miracle of faith is used to record and broadcast the scene on the stage in real time. The light curtain is projected on the entire sky, not just for people in the distance. Even people from other neighborhoods could see clearly what was going on on stage if they raised their heads.
The audience was crowded. Knights with shining weapons and well-equipped weapons formed a loose defense line to prevent the public from approaching. A huge crowd gathered behind this dividing line. Pairs of eyes that were either frightened or numb flickered towards the execution platform. There was a lot of discussion.
At this time, as Giovanni appeared on the burning platform, the originally noisy execution square suddenly became quiet.
As an elite judge who executed and hunted countless heretics, his presence and oppressive power were indeed very strong. Just standing on the burning platform and staring at all living beings was enough to make the onlookers in the audience tremble with fear and silence.
"Ha." When the audience was completely quiet, Giovanni nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Sinners, you are born guilty, and you are born to be mudbloods who kneel on the ground and kneel forever. , the merciful Lord does not want to see your souls trapped in eternal calamity, so he will give you a way to atone for your sins. I hope that one day you can wash away your sins and enter His kingdom to enjoy eternal bliss..."
"But!"
Giovanni changed the subject.
"Some of you have failed the Lord's expectations of you! You have been tempted by the devil and have turned your back on the Lord and worshiped other idols!"
In conjunction with the miracle of faith, this elite judge's voice is filled with soul-stirring magic. Even if it is just a threat to vent his dissatisfaction, it is enough to materialize into a heavy pressure that makes people feel frightened. Their knees become weak and they bend down and kneel down. Prone to the ground.
"The trial is about to begin..." In an alley not far from the square, Zhao Sida looked coldly at Giovanni's performance on stage and asked, "Hasn't the god you believe in given instructions to you yet?"
"Zui said that we should wait for the opportunity..." Suoluomen said, his face became a little unnatural. Under the calm gaze of the doll girl, he finally couldn't hold back and said, "Okay, I admit that I'm usually very lazy. We slipped away, but we didn’t miss the key moment. Look, our efforts during this period have been quite fruitful!”
"Time is running out." Zhao Sida looked into the distance, her prosthetic eyes constantly focusing and zooming, sometimes scanning Giovanni who was performing, sometimes scanning the audience, writing down the positions of the armed knights and secret sentries one by one, and in the computing core The three-dimensional model was gradually constructed, "And something is wrong. There are many more enemies than expected..."
"Then I'll contact you again..."
Zhao Sida nodded and said nothing more, just quietly looking at the execution platform not far away. …
Giovanni's performance on stage was also coming to an end.
In just a few minutes, he secretly performed many miracles of faith to coerce and intimidate the criminals in the stands, pushing their spirits to the limit. Then he performed another miracle with the opposite effect to calm their nervous state of mind. And then suppress their spirits... After several ups and downs like this, the onlookers really began to think that all this was their fault. It was because these pagans believed in evil gods that the gentlemen in the city looked down on them. Only then did they become sinners for life after life, and then fell further into more fanatical repentance and anger - these people now wish they could transform themselves into judgment knights and step forward to burn these heretics to ashes.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he announced loudly.
"Then now, judge the heretics!"
As soon as he shouted, the knights below let out a roar that shook the sky, and the onlookers who were immersed in conversion enthusiasm also roared at the top of their lungs.
"Kill them!"
"Judge heretics!"
"Kill the heretics
! "
The crowd in the audience was excited and the shouts were loud, as if the pagans on the stage were their father-killing enemies.
Balls of blazing white fire ignited the stake, and the holy flame burned brightly.
This kind of sacred flame of faith will not smoke or roast the victim to death as quickly as ordinary fire. It will not produce toxic gases when it burns, nor will it produce high-temperature gas that burns the victim's lungs. It will slowly ignite the soul and body of the heathen, and then burn it away bit by bit like a candle.
If no one stops...
The fate of these people would be to be burned alive.
boom!
There was a loud gunshot in the distance, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Giovanni couldn't help but look in the direction of the gunshot.
At the moment when everyone was distracted, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the burning platform. At lightning speed, it flashed to the nearest inquisitor. When the other judge's attention was attracted and he was defenseless, he reached out to explore... …
Then he took off the other person's head.
Blood gushed out and the body fell to the ground.
Then he turned sharply and rushed towards the next target.
It wasn't until the third Inquisitor's head was taken off that the Judgment Knights on the stage reacted and drew out their weapons on alert. Only then did the figure stop and casually threw the removed head aside. At Giovanni's feet.
"The Lord has anticipated your arrival." Giovanni was not surprised at all, "Soulless doll."
"As long as there is enough intelligence information, it is not difficult to deduce the future to a limited extent." Zhao Sida slowly took off her hood, "You still have two minutes to answer my question. Where did you do to Elizabeth? And ...How to find the Axis Order?"
