At this moment, Olivia had stood back beside Sean. Standing on the stone platform was a jade-white stone sculpture created by Sean, which was exactly the same as Olivia herself, wearing a black robe.
Although it was decided in advance to use Olivia as the background image of this goddess...
But Sean had not thought about the relevant descriptions and teachings in detail because he had been busy with other things.
At this moment, he could only use his imagination based on the beautiful and mysterious stone sculpture in front of him.
"This shape seems a bit monotonous?" Sean tried snapping his fingers, and an oil lamp appeared in the raised hand of the stone sculpture.
A young woman holds up an oil lamp with one hand in a dark basement.
This scene reminded Olivia of a scene from her "past life"...
"Just like mom, waiting for dad and me to come home..."
That was a scene that Olivia saw one winter night when she was still young——
The mother holding the oil lamp opened the door and welcomed herself and her father into the house...
Hearing Olivia's soliloquy, Sean opened his eyes and turned his head: The lady who is waiting for her family to come home? !
The image in front of him, coupled with Olivia's casual words, caused a series of associations to appear in Sean's mind like lightning.
This is a woman who is waiting for others to return!
After receiving this "revelation"-like inspiration, Sean began to search in his mind whether there was a god with a similar image...
Soon, he realized where his association came from——
When he took the "Golden Age" and was about to arrive at New Testament Port, he and many outsiders saw the statue standing in the bay...
The huge statue of the goddess symbolizing freedom was presented to New Landel by the Republic of Gaul.
She holds the torch and welcomes all the people who come...
The Holy Temple, whose main belief is the Salvation Religion, will naturally not allow others to make up stories about this god. Therefore, despite the unique conditions, a religion related to that lady would never be born in New Landal.
However, this does not prevent Sean from using her image to his advantage.
"The image of that lady is deeply rooted in people's hearts..." Sean thought to himself, "It wouldn't be a bad thing if you can think of Olivia when you see her holding the lamp high."
I believe that more people will feel trustful at first sight.
After the basic image is determined, it is time to make up more details and allusions...
Sean, who had only recently found pleasure in writing horror stories, was enjoying the process.
In this dark, unformed underground temple, Sean and Olivia basically completed the creation of the story of this nameless goddess.
They took two steps back and began to admire the completed new idol.
A lady wearing a silk black robe, whose entire face cannot be seen, but just exposing her chin, lips and nose bridge gives people a glimpse...
She held a black torch high in her left hand, and held a straw basket covered with cloth in her right hand.
The soft expression revealed perseverance.
The nightingale landed on her shoulder, as if quietly confiding something to their goddess.
“The torch symbolizes protection and watchfulness;
“Grass baskets symbolize healing and recuperation;
"The nightingale on her shoulder is her ear. In every night when everyone is sleeping deeply, it flies to the windows of those believers, listening on behalf of the goddess to the pain and secrets that can only be revealed at night..."
Sean, who has a keen awareness of the environment in which contemporary social conflicts continue to intensify and lead to increasing pressure on all classes, has long realized that compared to children, adults actually need their own "Tooth Fairy"——
Too many people are under tremendous pressure and have nowhere to talk.
If there is such a god, she is willing to listen to her in the middle of the night, and is willing to comfort and provide shelter...
Sean believes this god will be quite popular.
Behind the image of the goddess is a symbol embedded in the wall.
In the semicircular window is the silhouette of a nightingale holding a hyacinth in its mouth.
“She was the listener of the night—Ms. Hershey.”
If you choose to believe in this God who does not exist for the time being, Sean is still a young soul and can still provide some small "belief gain" within the two hundred kilometers radius of New Testament City: after talking to Hershey After pain, stress, and secrets, the believer will have a wonderful night's sleep.
In addition, the spiritual power will protect their homes at night from minor evil intrusions.
At night, you can have a slight sense of danger before it arrives.
However, Sean believes that compared to the benefits of sleeping peacefully in the first one, the latter two are not that attractive.
"After all, many people suffer from insomnia. This is the best buff currently available."
This is also his proposed strategy - compared to other legal beliefs, he currently cannot provide much competitive faith gain.
"How about providing some spiritual comfort..."
He believes that the goddess, who is like a "tree hole" and can allow people to confide their secrets, is a very attractive belief...
"The basic image of the idol and the general direction of the doctrine have been determined."
After completing all this, Sean finally felt tired.
"I've done enough today..."
He left Shawshank Rogers in the dark mansion. With the help of the power of the spirit, he and Olivia instantly traveled to his car nearly five kilometers away, and then drove onto the highway and returned home all the way.
After a good night's sleep, there are still many things that need to be done during the day.
Sean first gave the "Bloody Rose" brooch to Aaliyah, who was about to go to work.
Aaliyah, who had just leaned over to put on her small leather shoes, saw the rose-shaped ruby that Sean handed over. She first showed a look of surprise on her face, and then she hugged her chest with some dissatisfaction and said: "Sean!
"Do we have a lot of income now? How can you spend money to buy this..."
Ignoring his sister's complaints, Sean took a few steps and pinned the brooch to the inside of Aaliyah's gray woolen sweater.
Just like snowflakes melting into the water, the bright red brooch disappeared——
Sean added a hidden mechanism to the brooch that refracts light when worn.
"This is also a mysterious legacy." As soon as Sean finished speaking, Aaliyah saw a strange light coming from her eyes.
A helpless smile appeared in the brother's heart: "When it comes to mysterious things, she is like this..."
It's almost like moonlight.
"You can think of this thing as an advanced version of the Magic Feather Earring." Sean looked at the feather-shaped blue earring under his sister's left ear. Fortunately, it has been used every time. "Once you use your body Or if you are touched by ectoplasm and have a clear intention to leave the place where you are...
"You will be transported to a safe shelter.
"It will work as long as you are on Earth. The transmission delay depends on your distance from New Testament City."
As soon as Sean finished speaking, Aaliyah wanted to reach out and touch the brooch, but her brother quickly stopped her: "It can only be used once!"
Aaliyah quickly controlled her curious hand, raised her head, and stuck out her tongue playfully.
Of course the brooch was not disposable, Sean lied.
The forced recall function of Blood Rose can be fully charged every sixty hours.
However, he didn't want his sister to see that dark mansion without danger - the less Aaliyah knew about his biggest secret, the safer it would be.
Of course, it wouldn't matter if Aaliyah used the brooch: he had plenty of ways to hide the truth.
"Ellie, this is your trump card to ensure your safety..." Sean expressed clearly, "Don't use it out of curiosity - it can only be used in the event of a real crisis.
"do you understand?"
Seeing his sister nodding obediently, Sean hugged her and left the house with her.
After driving Aaliyah to grammar school, Sean drove to Moonlight 1902's house.
He has decided: today, he will distribute all his "gifts".
