From the Esoteric Cult Family to the Kingdom of God

Chris hates talking.

Because he can remember memories from infancy, although not as clear as Byrne's "deep memory", he still remembers how vicious the gossip people said when they were babies.

They all thought that no one knew their malice and hypocrisy.

Language, most of the time, cannot express the human heart most accurately, and is more often used for lies.

Of course, he also remembered the night when the Lost Lord saved himself and his sister Irene.

At that moment, Chris also listened to His voice.

It was definitely not human language, but something greater, an untouchable supreme voice.

After becoming the dirty and smelly "Liam", he began to mine in the mine area, and he was busy working under the supervision of those guards.

There were many people mining in the dark mine, and the miners were extremely tired. This was a very dangerous area and people could die at any time.

The steam excavator invented by the Loen people had not yet spread in Siat. Everything in the mine area had to be dug by manpower, which was extremely inefficient, hard, and full of danger.

Most of them were not citizens of Fein, but farmers from villages all over the east coast, working hard to earn a very meager salary, and they were dissatisfied deep in their hearts.

Chris's physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he felt a little tired after working for a few days.

Although there was nothing serious, he felt that if he didn't have the sequence power bonus, he might be too tired to move.

Chris had never understood certain things, and silently pondered why those diggers were willing to work hard in such a place instead of returning to the village.

He didn't want to know about irrelevant things, but the disguised "Liam" should be a person completely opposite to the real Chris.

So after careful thinking, Chris took the initiative to ask the miners why they left the countryside. He learned that the reasons for leaving were varied but mostly related to the land, and the experience of an old man was the most peculiar.

At this time, it was a very short break in the digging work of the day, and Chris and the old man were sitting on the ground.

"The Somor family forced us to use the land to raise a kind of magic beast, which caused me to lose the land and family for farming. There was no way out, and I could only become a vagrant."

The Somor family actually violated the regulations of the church and publicly raised a large number of magic beasts?

Chris was surprised after hearing this. It was allowed for nobles to raise magic beasts in small quantities, but raising magic beasts on a large scale was strictly prohibited by several major churches.

There has always been an ancient legend in the Oden continent, which seems to be that when the number of mysterious creatures multiplies to a certain extent, a demon god from ancient times will revive.

The old man's body was still strong, but his hands were full of scars from years of hard work, and his eyes were extremely turbid and confused.

He sighed and continued:

"Those nobles who are dirty to the bone are constantly fighting for power and land, but the power is contained in their blood, and the gods are on their side. Where is the way for ordinary people?"

"We are trampled on like weeds, and in the end there is no way to survive. I am afraid I will die in the mine soon."

Chris knew that what he said was right. Even if the old man had a good physical foundation, he was getting older and older.

It was only a matter of time before he died in the mine.

But that kind of thing had nothing to do with Chris, and he didn't intend to save any strangers at all.

He would only be good to those who were good to him.

Chris just forced himself to speak reluctantly, pretending to be an ordinary person.

"Absolutely not, you are still so strong, you will not die!"

When he spoke, he always felt as if he was staring at himself not far away, no, actually staring at "Liam".

An interesting experience.

Chris suddenly liked the feeling he experienced when he disguised himself as a new identity.

He felt that his spirituality was boiling again.

The old man shook his head and opened his mouth to say something, but finally decided not to say anything.

"What do you want to say?" Chris asked immediately to maintain his character.

"I want to tell you a truth. In fact, the fate of ordinary people like us is destined. We will never, ever be able to save ourselves when we are alive..."

The old man said extremely desperate and frustrated words, but the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, and instead there was a smile and longing, which was extremely contradictory.

He continued, "I think the hope of ordinary people should be in the world after death."

Chris fell silent, shook his head, and asked, "I don't understand, maybe because I haven't read a book."

"Liam, do you believe that the stars can give hope?"

The old man suddenly smiled and looked at Chris, with a certain temptation in his voice.

"After we all die, many people's souls will have no destination, and some people's souls will reach the beautiful stars, where they will experience all the beauty that the world has never experienced. They believe that the star they arrive at after death is the real hope!"

Because of the Fisher family's "little hobby", Chris sensitively noticed that the old man's words were strange.

It was just like the beginning of the words that his sister said to the children in the orphanage.

He made a puzzled expression and asked, "I still don't understand, what do you want to say?"

"Hehe, this thing is for you."

The old man took out a black seven-pointed star stone sculpture with a chuckle and put it in Chris's palm.

"Remember that the stars can give real hope, child, sooner or later you will see Him, that is your destiny."

Chris looked down at the black seven-pointed star stone sculpture and found that there was a huge eye in the center of it. It seemed to be staring at him all the time, and no matter how he changed the angle of the stone sculpture, he could not escape its gaze.

Strange.

He subconsciously felt a strong sense of vigilance, but continued to ask:

"Thank you for your gift, but what is this? Why do I feel a little strange..."

The old man laughed and continued: "That's a mark, you will understand when the time comes."

Chris showed a confused look and nodded, but a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

When the work started again, he secretly threw away the stone sculpture mark. Caution is the principle of the Fisher family.

But when he was about to go to bed at night, something that shocked Chris happened. He found that the black seven-pointed star stone sculpture was actually back in his hands!

What happened?

Chris completely lost his sleepiness and got up calmly, wanting to carefully examine the black seven-pointed star.

At this moment, the black seven-pointed star emitted light.

Suddenly, a dark aura emerged from the red mark on the back of his hand, instantly covering the black seven-pointed star and turning it into pale ashes in an instant.

"..."

Chris looked at this scene incomprehensible.

The Lost Lord protected me?

Chris's curiosity about unknown things was not strong enough, and he did not have the idea of ​​studying it in depth. Because he could not figure it out, he chose to sleep.

After waking up, he heard a piece of news.

The old man died.

And according to people's saying, the old man died with a smile at night. All the people who saw the body were very scared and thought the old man's smile was extremely strange.

Many workers who saw the body even began to protest in fear. If the church did not come to solve it, they did not want to continue working in the mine.

Weird smile?

Chris did not understand what was so scary about the smile of the corpse, so he wanted to take a look at the corpse, but found that the corpse had been hidden by the mine owner and no worker was allowed to touch it.

However, he could smell the old man's scent and find it accurately among the many mixed smells.

"There." Chris stared at a hidden house outside the mining area with an indifferent look.

He quietly touched the place where the body was parked in the dark night, and slowly untied the rag covering the body while no one was around.

That was definitely not a corpse that died with a smile.

The old man's face was rolling with an extremely hideous smile, as if he was a terrifying demon who was extremely excited to tear human flesh and blood!

All the wrinkles on the old face were deeply squeezed together, the corners of the mouth were exaggeratedly grinned almost to the ears, the eyes that never closed were full of scarlet blood, and the turbid eyes still retained the madness of dying!

After seeing the old man's "smile", Chris still had no expression on his face.

Well, it was really not scary at all.

He reached out and pulled the "smiley face" a few times indifferently, and found that he could not easily change it, as if there was some kind of extraordinary effect that fixed the old man's face in an extremely strange state.

Interesting.

Chris became very interested and took off all the clothes on the body. Then he carefully checked it and soon found something strange on the old man's back.

Those were a few dark words, which seemed to be made of the blood of some mysterious creature.

"Embrace the stars."

What exactly do those things describing "stars" mean? The black seven-pointed star, embracing the stars, pursuing the hope of the stars after death...

Chris finally couldn't bear it anymore. It was as if he was strongly tempted by something. He raised his head and looked at the vast night sky with a slight tremor.

He suddenly understood.

So that's it. All this is His guidance, just to make me raise my head and look at the great Him at this moment!

It was a black star that was so huge that it was difficult to describe even with human intelligence!

Most of His area was an extremely terrifying giant eye, staring at every corner of the universe at any time, watching the past, present and future of all things, and almost every moment it was emitting endless chaotic power, enough to make everything in the world crazy and chaotic!

Chris screamed, his heart pounding, a lot of indescribable information emerged in his mind, and he was about to be changed in an instant.

"Ah!"

A black seven-pointed star full of chaotic aura appeared on his chest.

However, the black seven-pointed star had just appeared, and the red mark on Chris's hand shone brightly, and the half-appeared black seven-pointed star gradually faded.

It disappeared completely.

When Chris came to his senses, he found that the terrifying giant star in the night sky had disappeared, and a lot of information in Chris's mind also returned to nothing.

In the end, it was as if nothing had happened.

"..."

Chris stood there in silence for a long time, shook his head, and calmly and boredly restored the state of the corpse.

He turned and left the morgue, disappearing silently in the dark night.
