The human body is very strong, and people with missing arms and legs can survive as long as they are treated properly, but the human body is also very fragile, and they will die immediately without their vital organs.
For example, the heart.
"Heart...my heart...!"
At the moment of death, Berrick kept repeating this sentence in his mind, but at the same time he also felt strange, is there really a soul in this world? Why do I still have the ability to think after I am dead?
"To answer your question, there is a soul, and you are not dead."
It turns out there really is a soul.
Wait, I'm not dead?
"Of course! If you wake up, get up quickly. Why are you lying on the ground?"
In response to this scolding, Berrick slowly opened his eyes.
Familiar ceiling.
He lay on his back on the soft woolen blanket and could smell the earth and blood.
"my heart!"
In panic, he quickly got up and kept touching his whole body.
Nothing unusual.
Is it an illusion? Was everything just fake? In fact, I'm not dead, I'm just hallucinating?
But when he saw the hole in the front of his clothes and the blood soaked around the hole, Berrick was sure that he had indeed died just now!
"Berrick, you are too panicked. How can you behave in front of Your Excellency?"
Gentle lessons reached my ears.
Turning his head, he saw a familiar figure kneeling next to him.
"Master Cult Leader?!"
Berrick looked at him in surprise.
At this time, in the direction where the leader was kneeling, there was a man sitting on the luxurious bench.
The man who ripped out his heart!
"demon!"
"Devil? I would rather you call me the messenger of the gods..."
Xiao Lin looked at the panicked Berrick with interest, and was very satisfied with the way he was trembling with fear.
"Master leader, he is a heretic! He is a demon! Quick! Give the order to kill him! Quick! Rakshasa dead ghost, come on! Come on!"
Berrick pointed at Xiao Lin and shouted excitedly to the leader, constantly urging the congregants and the four Rakshasa ghosts who were guarding him. It seemed that this was the only way to vent his inner fear.
However, everyone remained motionless.
They all knelt on the ground with their hands clasped together and looked pious, as if they were worshiping the man on the chair.
On the contrary, the leader of the church tried to dissuade him: "Berrick, you have told me all your crimes. In order to repay your previous crimes, you should accept the punishment of God honestly."
"God's punishment... Hahaha, God's punishment?! There is no God in this world! No God!! None!!!"
Berrick's face flushed red, blood seemed to rush to his face, veins popped out on his forehead, saliva flew everywhere, and he yelled in fear.
No matter how hard he refused to admit it, his heart was already shaking.
Now, it just needs a little help.
Xiao Lin curled up his lips and said with fake disappointment: "Ah ah ah, I'm so disappointed~ I wish I had not resurrected you. I helped you cure your hidden disease. It's really a waste of all my hard work."
unmentionable disease?
Berrick felt his vigorous and energetic body, completely without the feeling of powerlessness that had been exhausted by wine and sex.
"Hahaha——, it's fake, it's all fake! You must have used some energy-enhancing drugs on me!" Berrick refused to admit it and continued to evade himself.
"Seriously, if you weren't still useful, I would have sent you to see the goddess."
Xiao Lin was also a little impatient. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, just watch from the side."
Then, he looked at the leader again.
To speak is to rebuke.
"Although you have a simple heart, are charitable, and have extraordinary charisma and are deeply loved by the congregation, but at the same time, you do not know how to recognize people and allow them to cause trouble under the protection of the church. Do I really doubt your ability to see through people's hearts?"
"I'm deeply sorry for this. It's entirely my own fault."
The leader could have pushed away the responsibility, saying that he had been slandered and listened to villains, or that Berwick was good at pretending to be deceived, etc., but he still took the responsibility very responsibly.
Excellent leader.
Xiao Lin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then I'll give you the death penalty for betraying you."
"Yes." The leader accepted his fate.
Xiao Lin looked at Berrick again, and raised the corners of his mouth with malice towards him, causing Berrick, who had been thinking about how to escape from just now, to shake his body subconsciously.
"Berrick, you will carry out the execution."
"What?"
"I told you to come for the execution. If you don't want to, I'm going to say something heartbreaking to you."
Seeing that he didn't agree, Xiaolin kept extending his right hand forward.
Looking at the right hand that is getting closer, I can already smell the smell of blood emanating from the palm, as well as the beating heart that is about to be held again.
"I do! I do!"
Berrick quickly nodded in agreement.
He pulled out the long knife of the guard beside him and said to the leader: "Master leader, I'm sorry!"
The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope. No matter how much he wants to replace the other, he just feels sad now.
After all, the demon sitting on it was playing havoc with their lives.
"It's okay, Berrick. I will die, but at the same time I will be reborn, so you don't have to be sad, Berrick."
The leader didn't have any fear, and instead said something confusing.
Is it about returning to the embrace of God?
Berrick is a clergyman, so he naturally understands what they say to outsiders after the death of believers, but they all know that it is false, and it is impossible for the leader of the church not to understand!
hateful!
With anger and fear, he severely chopped off the leader's head.
The leader, whose head fell to the ground, did not cry or scream, but looked at him with a smile on his face, and then slowly closed his eyes.
The bright red stained the hem of his clothes, and the smell of blood continued to flow into his nostrils.
Burrick was terrified.
But his punishment was not over yet, as the devil on the luxurious bench gave another order.
"Berrick, put his head back on his neck."
"Brain, brain...put it back?"
Why? Are you insulting the leader's body? What a devil...
But he was forced to obey the other party's orders due to pressure.
The leader had long since lost his breath, and the color on his peacefully smiling face had disappeared. He was dead after his head was cut off, he was sure of it!
He tremblingly picked up the leader's head and gently placed it where it should be.
It's pretty straight forward.
"Very good, let me perform a miracle for you next."
Snap your fingers lightly.
--resurrection!
A dazzling magic circle suddenly lit up, but no one except Berrick covered their eyes. Instead, they held back the tears in their eyes and stared carefully at the miracle that was about to happen.
Three seconds passed...
The light faded and the magic circle disappeared. The leader's neck lying on the ground was intact and he slowly opened his eyes.
"It seems that I have been resurrected. No, wouldn't it be better to use a new life?"
The leader stood up, clasped his hands and knelt down in front of Di Xiaolin with great piety: "Thank you for your kindness, and may God's favor be with you forever, Son of God!"
"May God's favor be with you forever, Son of God!" xN
When other people saw this, their eyes flashed with extremely fanatical expressions, and like the leader, they knelt in front of him with their hands clasped together in great piety.
No, no, no, Lord God? !
Although I know that the child favored by God is called the Son of God, no matter what I think, I am the one taking care of that idiot Water Goddess, right?
"Call the priest!"
"……What?"
"Ahem, it's nothing."
Xiao Lin coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't call me Son of God, just call me Lord Xiao Lin. After all, I have to hide my identity for the time being."
"That's it, I know."
The leader also nodded as if he knew something, then bowed and said, "May God's favor be with you forever, Lord Xiaolin!"
"Master Xiaolin!" xN
very good!
Turning to look at the stunned Berrick, Xiaolin asked: "How are you, are you satisfied with this miracle? By the way, you were resurrected just now using this method."
"is that a lie……"
Berwick's worldview was shaken.
Resurrection of the dead is something that goes against common sense. It is something that even the emperors of thousands of years ago could not do. The proof is that if he can be resurrected, why wouldn't he use it?
But now, a miracle was performed in front of him.
"Ah, it seems you still don't believe it. Can anyone perform for him again?"
"I!"
"let me!"
"I come!"
"Please let me come!"
It was obvious that they were going to die, but everyone present was scrambling to grab it, because they were all people who had just been resurrected, and they firmly believed that this way they would get the favor and blessings of the gods.
Suddenly, a servant rushed out.
And this person turned out to be the servant who had just rushed into the palace to report to him. Before Berrick could react, he grabbed the hand holding the knife and stabbed him hard in the chest.
"W-What are you doing? Are you crazy?!"
Berrick yelled in horror.
But the servant showed a kind of fanatical smile: "Lord Berrick, I...I also want to accept the favor and...blessings of the gods."
With a thud, he fell to the ground.
died.
"Ah, you accidentally killed someone, the goddess will be angry."
"No, no...it's not like that! It's not me! It's him, he bumped into me on purpose! Please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me!"
Berrick knelt down in fear and begged loudly for mercy. It seemed that he had truly believed in the goddess and would blame him for the bad things he had done before.
"Don't be nervous." Xiao Lin patted him on the shoulder and reassured: "Today is missionary day, and the goddess will not blame you. Besides, he is just dead, can't he be resurrected?"
"Resurrection..."
As he spoke, the magic circle lit up again, and three seconds later, the servant stood up alive and kicking.
"Look, it's that simple."
With a snap of the fingers, a person can be resurrected.
If this is not a miracle that a god can do, then what else can be called a miracle?
If you want to completely conquer a person, you must destroy his worldview in one go and then help him reshape it.
In this way, he will surrender sincerely.
Although Thunder's methods are too rough and can easily destroy his mind, the process is simple, convenient and fast, which is just right for Xiaolin who is pressed for time.
"So, do you want to join us, or do you want me to say a few more heartfelt words to you before joining us?"
Xiao Lin looked at Berrick with an extremely kind smile.
