Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"It's amazing. I feel relaxed all over, as if I have endless energy..."

"It's been many years! I haven't felt my waist so comfortable for many years!"

The six researchers were immersed in the changes in their bodies. Some rubbed their eyes, some turned around and twisted their waists, and some jumped on the spot. Everyone's emotions changed from surprise and disbelief to excitement.

For a moment, no one even paid attention to the new body of Sawada Hiroki placed on the table.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Koizumi Hongzi looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

After confirming the look in their eyes, they were all people who didn't feel any changes...

"That..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Chi, Hongzi and I didn't feel any changes in our bodies. Does this mean that Hongzi and I are healthy?"

"Your bodies are indeed healthier, so the altar energy didn't bring much change to your bodies, and you may not feel it very obviously."

Chi Feichi responded to Koshimizu Nanatsuki, closed his eyes, continued to recite the ancient sacrificial language, and used his mind to control the altar energy to move to the hall across the corridor.

A golden light curtain appeared on the altar, extending like a long carpet towards the main door of the hall, quickly passing through the magic area and the science area, penetrating the main door, and extending along the corridor to the restaurant opposite.

In the restaurant, the believers had already stood in the open space according to Joshua and Afu's arrangement. About seven or eight people surrounded one person, forming a circle, surrounding the person in the middle.

There were more than thirty groups of such circle standing combinations on the scene.

Behind the crowd, Bruno, Jim and several members of the Brotherhood stood around Charles.

Bruno was actually somewhat tempted after hearing Charles' introduction to the Church of Nature, but he still cautiously said, "I'll think about it when I get back," and did not agree on the spot. Seeing the people of the Brotherhood taking him and Jim to participate in this strange religious ceremony, he couldn't help but whisper, "Jim and I are not yet believers of your church. Is it really okay to participate directly like this?"

"Since the priest has agreed, it doesn't matter," Peter said in a friendly manner, "Anyway, we have two vacancies here."

"But we have never participated in such a gathering, and we don't know what to do..." Jim raised his hand to touch his bald head, touched the hood of the black robe, and then remembered that he was still wearing a hat, so he put his hand down again.

Joshua happened to be walking nearby. Hearing Jim's words, the face of the black robe hood showed a smile. While walking forward, he said in a gentle voice, "Relax, young man, just stand here quietly for a while, you don't need to do anything."

Jim's eyes widened in surprise.

Hey, a person who sounds younger than him actually called him a "young man" in that old-fashioned tone. This guy...

Huh? Looking at the eye pattern on the back of this guy's black robe, this seems to be... the 'priest' mentioned by Charles and his people, Charles' godfather?

Charles' godfather is actually a young man?

Bruno also recognized Joshua's identity through the pattern on his black robe, and couldn't help but suspect that the people in the Brotherhood were brainwashed.

This church is indeed not right, and he was right to be cautious and think about it again!

When Joshua walked into the crowd, he suddenly noticed the golden light under the gap of the restaurant's side door. He stopped and turned to look at the restaurant's side door. Seeing the golden light penetrating the door panel, the hot emotions in his eyes were also ignited by the golden light, and he murmured, "Here it comes..."

Some of the believers also noticed the golden light emerging from behind the side door, but before these people could speak, the golden light quickly swept across the floor of the restaurant like a tide, freezing everyone in place.

Bruno noticed the golden light at the side door and wanted to turn his head to look, but found that he couldn't turn his head at all. Then he found that his body couldn't move. He wanted to shout, but he couldn't open his mouth or make any sound. With his body completely out of control, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

??????55.??????

What's going on?

Jim was a little panicked when he found that he couldn't control his body. He turned his only eyeball, looking at the golden light on the floor in front of his feet, and then looking at the people nearby. However, the hood on his head blocked his vision, so he could only see the corners of the black robes of the people around him and the hem of Charles' black robe in front of him. Then he thought about it in a nervous mood.

What happened?

Why did the surroundings suddenly become so quiet?

Was he sick, did his brain imagine this strange picture, or did everyone encounter the same thing as him?

Not only Bruno and Jim, but other believers were more or less panicked when they found that they couldn't move their bodies.

It's actually a very scary thing to lose control of your body.

In this case, people's self-consciousness will feel that they are imprisoned in their bodies, and they will feel like a rag doll with a new consciousness, and can only be manipulated helplessly. Under normal circumstances, the inability to control the body often means that there is something wrong with the body or mind. When people find that their bodies are out of control in a sober state, the brain will also issue a crisis warning of "you have a big problem", which makes people feel fear, panic and other emotions.

In the restaurant, Joshua and Afu Po are the only two people who can move freely, and they also know Chi Feichi's plan in advance, and they are not surprised or nervous about what they see.

When Joshua saw the restaurant suddenly quiet down and all the believers stood still, he knew that the thing Chi Feichi told him had begun. He continued to walk to the front of the team and said in a calm tone, "The gift of the Lord God has come, please calm down..."

Hearing Joshua's voice, the believers who trusted Joshua, the Holy Church of Nature, and the existence of the gods of the Holy Church of Nature felt relieved.

While Joshua was speaking, Chi Feichi also used his energy to sense the believers who had eye patterns painted on their hands and faces with special ink, and manipulated the golden light on the floor of the restaurant to flow into the bodies of those believers.

Those believers with eye patterns painted on their bodies were also the ones surrounded in the middle of each group of believers.

When the golden light on the floor flowed into these people's bodies, the believers surrounding them became witnesses, and while the golden light flowed into these people's bodies, some tiny golden light spots splashed out from these people and fell in front of the faces of the believers around them. As everyone's breathing pulled, those golden light spots also drilled into the bodies of the believers around them.

In addition to the believers with eye patterns painted on their bodies, Joshua and Afu Po were also the targets of the golden light on the ground.

The golden light that flowed into Afu Po's body was more than that of others, and those golden lights that flowed into Joshua's body went around in Joshua's healthy body, and finally did not consume much energy, and soon flowed out of Joshua's body and flowed to Afu Po.

Joshua saw that the energy that flowed into his body flowed to Afu Po again, and he did not show any emotional fluctuations.

He already had a better one, and this time the healthy energy really could not arouse his interest.

"We dedicate our faith and loyalty to our god, the true god who is truly willing to favor believers," Joshua continued, "and He will give health to His believers, and drive away those annoying diseases and defects..."

The golden light on the ground disappeared, and the believers with eye patterns painted on their hands and faces no longer splashed with golden light spots. Those flowing light curtains and splashing golden light seemed to be just an illusion.

Someone tried to turn his head to look around, and found that he had regained control of his body, and whispered happily.

"I can move..."

"Oh my god, I feel comfortable, more comfortable than ever before..."

In the crowd, someone stretched his arms out of his black robe, looked down at his hands, and after a moment, tears began to drip onto his hands. His eyes were red under the hood of his black robe, and his mouth was grinning to an exaggerated degree, and he kept muttering, "I'm back, my hands are back... My prayers were really answered, just like a dream..."
