Shen Yan and Zhao Kuo were carefully withdrawing from the scope of the Holy Pool. This was the territory of the Holy See in Kenya. It would be very troublesome if their whereabouts were exposed.
On the way out, passing by the rooms where the patients lived, Shen Yan's face turned gloomy. If no one interfered, the outcome of these patients would probably be no different from those of those who sank into the holy pool.
But now he has the temerity to rescue these patients. Not to mention whether he can fight against the power of the Holy See, whose strength is still uncertain, it is estimated that these patients will not follow Shen Yan.
Their joy and their gratitude to the Holy See were clearly visible to Shen Yan. If Shen Yan took them away by force, they would be met with angry resistance.
Zhao Kuo's caution already explained the current situation.
But with Shen Yan's character, it was impossible to ignore it. Although smallpox was terrible, its fatality rate was not 100%. Some of these patients could recover naturally and were not destined to die.
We have to find a way to save them, but now is definitely not the time for Shen Yan and Zhao Kuo to go deep into the enemy camp.
Continuing to walk outside, they met another group of knights leading Kenyans into the church.
These Kenyans do not have symptoms of smallpox, are they not patients? Shen Yan paid more attention. Why did they bring normal Kenyans here?
"Dear Sir Knight, thank you for allowing us to visit our loved ones."
"Are they almost fully recovered at the treatment camp?"
"That's great. I've been thinking about it for so long, why my son hasn't come back yet, and I feel a little concerned."
"I didn't expect you to come to my door and say you can visit me at the treatment camp."
Among these Kenyans, there was a particularly talkative middle-aged uncle who kept talking to himself and the knight all the way.
Shen Yan and Zhao Kuo couldn't help but look at each other.
Knights of the Holy See picking up Kenyans to visit their patients in treatment camps?
Shen Yan and Zhao Kuo saw the fate of those patients with their own eyes. There was no possibility of letting them go. They all turned into withered corpses under the pool. The dark power formed by hatred, pain, helplessness and fear was provided to the backbone on the altar.
How to visit?
There must be something wrong with this!
Zhao Kuo and Shen Yan carefully followed this group of people, not in the direction of the rooms where the patients lived, but outside a large rotunda in the church.
At the entrance of the great rotunda, the leading knight smiled gently: "Your relatives are inside, and they are waiting for you inside."
The faces of the Kenyans who came were full of joy. They said words of gratitude and walked into the large rotunda. Their thoughts for their loved ones made them walk faster.
Shen Yan in the dark: "The expressions of those knights are wrong. When the leading knight spoke, they showed fear on their faces."
This is definitely not the expression you should have when bringing someone to visit relatives.
Zhao Kuo looked at the Grand Rotunda. There should be something terrifying in the Grand Rotunda, which made the knights couldn't help but show the expressions just now.
The two moved their positions to the back of the rotunda, poked a hole in the window, and looked into the rotunda.
A group of Kenyans visiting relatives were happily entering the hall.
The hall was very empty, and there was no one there. People who came in couldn't help but have doubts on their faces.
There is a rectangular table in the middle of the entire hall, with only an upright piece of paper placed on the table.
Because it is the only thing in the entire hall, when people who come in do not see the person they are looking for, their first attention will be on this piece of paper.
The square words on the paper seem to have a kind of magic, attracting people to look at them.
When Zhao Kuo looked through the opened window, he turned his head away, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.
Shen Yan asked softly: "What's wrong?"
With Zhao Kuo's strength and courage, is there anything that he should be careful not to look at directly?
Shen Yan also looked in through the crack in the window: "..."
For those Kenyans who entered, Shen Yan didn't know if they could still be called human beings.
Their bodies were swelling, like inflated balloons, filled with pustules, their bodies were torn, green juice burst and flowed out, and disgusting tentacles broke free from the constraints of their flesh and stretched out from their bodies, wet.
If they didn't still have fragments of the clothes worn by the Kenyan people just now, Shen Yan would never associate living people with these monsters.
They were gathered around the table in the middle, with the square piece of paper on the table at their center.
Shen Yan: "..."
The Kenyans who were brought here by the knights were not brought to visit their relatives.
Shen Yan also remembered that when he visited the families of the patients yesterday, many of them were empty. Perhaps the family members of those patients were the same as what Shen Yan saw now. They were all brought to "visit relatives" by knights.
The purpose of the Holy See is, first, to reduce the number of people who know the patients and prevent their secrets from being exposed?
Secondly, Shen Yan took a quick glance at the old document, and secondly, they were using living people to absorb the contamination from the old document.
The Holy See uses living people to absorb the contamination of old documents in order to facilitate the study of the contents of old documents. This is the result deduced by Shen Yan, and the evidence is not very sufficient.
But now, seeing it with my own eyes.
The Holy See took advantage of this disaster in Kenya and unknowingly made Kenyans sacrifices.
In such a big Kenyan city, in the face of such a terrible disaster, even if there are some people missing for no reason, no one will pay attention to it.
The Holy See does not have to worry about attracting the attention of others due to large-scale pollution incidents, and openly deceives Kenyans into using them as containers for pollution sources of old documents.
Shen Yan's expression became more and more gloomy. It seemed that the purpose of the Holy See was not only to absorb the dark power for that person's back, but also to take the opportunity to reduce the contaminating power of the old documents in their hands, just like they had been doing secretly. That way.
Shen Yan asked Dark Moon Archbishop Geras why the Holy See wanted him to translate old documents.
Geras's answer at the time was very direct: "I was very confused at first, but the Holy See always revealed clues about what they wanted me to get from old documents. I summarized their requests every time and tried to do it when I had nothing to do. Think and finally draw a conclusion from these commonalities.”
"The Holy See is looking for the giant ruins on the mountains where the three legendary ruins are located."
"They are looking for the presence of gods in the giant ruins."
Geras also said that he did not understand any old documents at all, so he could only remain silent, neither admitting nor denying
Only in this way can the Holy See be suspicious and save his life.
In other words, in the past hundred years, although the Holy See had hoped for Geras, it actually got nothing, and it was impossible to get anything, because Geras didn't know at all.
So slowly, they shifted their hope of interpreting old documents from Geras to their ability to reduce the contamination of old documents and conduct research on their own.
This is the reason why large-scale infections have occurred in various cities in recent times.
Other cities are not like Mercenary City. Other cities have churches established by archbishops. Even places like Mercenary City with few members of the Holy See have experienced large-scale infections, let alone other cities.
It's really outrageous.
In order to find the God in their hearts, this group of fanatics/believers can actually do such crazy things.
Shen Yan couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, because the Holy See was so frantically looking for their god and would do anything to get nothing, but Shen Yan knew exactly where their god was.
If this news is revealed, Shen Yan can imagine how crazy those crazy people will become, and he will be in big trouble.
At this time, a group of knights came outside the Grand Rotunda and began to subjugate the Kenyans who had been contaminated by the old documents and turned into monsters.
The holy cry unique to the Holy See, the eight virtues of knights, humility, honesty, mercy, heroism, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul are fully realized, and they are killing monsters in this world.
Because there were more and more people, Shen Yan and the two had to carefully avoid them.
After leaving the Grand Rotunda, Shen Yan said: "Looking at how skillfully they move, this shouldn't be the first time they have done this."
Zhao Kuo: "The pollution in that old document has been reduced a lot. An ordinary person will not absorb too much pollution. It would take at least a hundred people to reach the current level."
On the big ferry on the sea to Kenya, Shen Yan discussed the second law of pollution sources and the principle of conservation of pollution sources with everyone.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo can also see the purpose of the Holy See in this scene just now.
Zhao Kuo suddenly said: "Whether it is the human backbone or the old documents, they should be the purpose of the Holy See this time, but Archbishop Henry, who is in charge of the overall situation, is not here to guard it. What is he doing?"
Shen Yan was also stunned. Before such a big event, Archbishop Henry was not here. Could it be that there was something more important?
Just as he was guessing softly, he unexpectedly met Archbishop Henry in the distance.
Zhao Kuo pulled Shen Yan and went behind the cover to hide.
Next to Archbishop Henry was a young, gorgeously dressed Kenyan.
Henry was hosting a young Kenyan at this time?
Shen Yan and Zhao Kuo looked at each other.
who is he?
Archbishop Henry and the young man were talking as they walked. Their destination was a basement located in the center.
Archbishop Henry: "Jack, as long as our plan succeeds, the city of Kenya will be back in your hands. You were originally the masters of Kenya, but those despicable people expelled you from Kenya. Kenyans It seems that you have forgotten that you have the noblest blood from the Hero City."
“Of course, if you want to regain the rule of Kenya, you have to pay some
The price of pain. "
The young man named Jack: "The Kenyans expelled us and humiliated our noble blood. Now it is just the punishment they received for their original crimes. As long as they can regain the rule of Kenya, no matter how painful the price is, Yes, by the way, is the Maurya Dynasty transcript I gave you practical?"
Shen Yan was extremely surprised. It was not that this young man provided the Mauryan Dynasty records in the hands of the Vatican, but that this young man actually had the blood of the City of Heroes?
Shen Yan couldn't help but look at Zhao Kuo.
Shen Yan also knew the history of the Mercenary City. Thousands of years ago, Zhao Kuo's ancestors ran away from the Hero City and came to the former site of the Mercenary City. On the site of the city left by the Hanhai Dynasty, the current Mercenary City was built. The City of Soldiers, this is the origin of the City of Mercenaries.
Zhao Kuo also has the blood of Hero City, and may have clues about this young man.
Zhao Kuo thought deeply for a while: "Our ancestors were the last team to leave the Hero City. We are the purest bloodline outside the Hero City."
"Kenya City was indeed ruled by a group with the blood of Hero City in the past, but they have been away from Hero City for too long, and their blood has already become thin. It seems that hundreds of years ago, because of their improper governance, Kenya was The demi-humans drove away from Kenya City, but I didn’t expect that this branch actually still has bloodline.”
Shen Yan thought to himself that he came back for revenge, but... he colluded with the Holy See and ignored the suffering of the Kenyans. No wonder such a ruler would be expelled.
At this time, Archbishop Henry was taking the young man named Jack into the basement.
Shen Yan and the others were unable to follow because the basement was relatively small and easily exposed.
Archbishop Henry and the young man stayed in the basement for a long time. When they came out, the young man was obviously a little tired and he was holding on to the wall when walking.
Shen Yan: "What did they do in there?"
Zhao Kuo coughed: "There is a faint smell of blood."
Shen Yan: "..."
Did it all bleed? This is not an ordinary thing.
When Archbishop Henry and the young man walked away, Shen Yan said curiously: "Let's go in and have a look too."
Henry was supposed to be a busy man, but he accompanied a young man to a dark and deserted basement. There must be some secret.
When Shen Yan and Zhao Kuo entered the basement, they were speechless.
The walls were painted with dense ritual symbols. In the center of the basement, there lay a blood coffin. The freshly wet blood on the blood coffin had not yet dried.
This basement is almost exactly the same as the basement under the rooms of Zhao Lan and Belle of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group in the Mercenary City.
Shen Yan: "Another blood sacrifice."
After speaking, he added: "Zhao Lan and Bei'er also have the blood of Hero City, and so does the young man just now. This blood sacrifice seems to require the blood of Hero City."
This method of blood sacrifice had some interest in the Mercenary City, and was used to resurrect the demon Abraham. For this reason, the Mercenary City, the Spirit Tribe, and the Abyssal Ghosts all tried to establish an alliance.
Unexpectedly, they encountered such an evil resurrection ceremony in Kenya. The difference was that Zhao Lan and Bei'er were forced to sacrifice, and their memories of the sacrifice were wiped. The young man just now also had the same Having the blood of Hero City is voluntary.
This should be called
A kind of corruption and betrayal, Abraham died at the hands of the Great Emperor and the Heavenly Translator in the Heroic City. Now the descendants of the Great Emperor and the Heavenly Translator are actually trying to resurrect Abraham by borrowing the power of his bloodline.
Abraham destroyed the eternal dynasty established by the Great Emperor and the Heavenly Translators.
Of course, what is even more frightening is that the people of Sin City just want to resurrect Abraham. Abraham is the founder of Sin City. Unexpectedly, the church, which has always been hostile to Sin City, is also looking for ways to resurrect Abraham.
Why?
Shen Yan was actually a little confused, but he seemed to have some vague feelings, because whether it was Sin City or the Holy See, their establishment was related to God. This requires a certain understanding of the history of the two to think of it, but Shen Yan I've seen some records of them.
They are not absolutely hostile; they have similar goals.
These two groups of lunatics, with their fanaticism and madness towards God, might actually be able to bring them together.
Shen Yan and Zhao Kuo did not dare to stay in the basement for a long time. After exiting the basement, they went directly out of the central cathedral.
When Shen Yan looked back at the central cathedral, the priest in the cathedral was singing a perfect hymn, holy and just.
For a moment, Shen Yan didn't know what to say. Maybe the boundaries between hell and heaven weren't that huge.
Shen Yan returned to the gray robe alley worriedly, and it was not getting too early.
In the yard, Boci was holding Dudu, who was constantly trying to escape. He was holding a crystal magnifying glass commonly used by mages in his hand, looking at Dudu back and forth, his face full of curiosity.
His little legs were kicking like hot wheels. What happened to his big brother? Let it go quickly, the delicious taste is so attractive. As an evil dragon, he has to take it for himself. He hasn't robbed it for a long time. !
