I Like This Dream!

Esther's life changed completely from the moment she entered the darkroom specially prepared for saints.

At first, Esther's only concepts of omega were "holy ones" and "white robes." After entering the darkroom, she understood Teacher Nancy's compassion. The teacher said that because of the evil done by the first omega, every omega will have to endure the temptation of the devil once a quarter. The book only said fiercely to stay away from the omega who was tempted by the devil, but did not say what the omega was at that time. Feel.

It was uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, hot and itchy, like ants crawling all over my body. Esther was tied up to prevent her from being successfully seduced by the devil into doing something scandalous that would violate the commandments of the Holy One. She was soaked to the skin and burned as if she had a high fever. She was suffering alone in a dark room without windows. A holy man of similar age fed her and watered her every day.

She has not awakened her powers, but it is normal for an omega to not have powers.

The smell of omegas in estrus can cause commotion, so of course it cannot be leaked out. Everything that happened during this period reflected Omega's original sin and brought shame to mankind. It must be hidden well and cannot be seen by the Lord in heaven. The saint is pure and innocent, abandoning all the filth and embarrassment in the dark room. After leaving, he must be more chaste and more pious to repay the original sin of being transformed into an omega.

Even in places where there are only Omegas, they all wear long robes, which allows them to walk gracefully and prevent them from making indecent gestures (such as walking quickly and jumping). They spend several times more time taking care of themselves than ordinary apprentices. . It doesn't matter, holy people don't have much to do and spend most of their time praying.

The holy man rises early and prays for nearly eight hours a day. When praying, they must kneel on their knees, stand up straight, and chant continuously. The time for resting and drinking water in the middle is strictly fixed. There was a saint among the saints of St. Andrew's Theological Seminary. She prayed continuously for three days, and finally saw the light of heaven. God exempted her from her sins and took her directly to heaven. Her holy body is still stored in an auditorium of the college. She wears a gold crown on her head, her fleshless skull is covered with silver gauze, and each finger wears a gemstone ring. She is very glorious and the pride of the entire college.

"Aren't you tired?" Esther asked innocently at first, after just finishing her day's prayers. She was very tired. The saint named Nicole who had taken care of her in the darkroom said nothing, shook her head, and showed an uneasy look on her face.

A saint in front suddenly turned around. He looked only a year or two older than Esther, but his face looked gloomy. 【How can it be hard to serve the Lord! 】He "said" with gestures fiercely, "Even if it is hard, it is a sin we should bear!" Omega was not born for pleasure in the first place. We must endure suffering in this life before we can be qualified to enter the kingdom of God! 】

Esther never finished half of the classes she took in Herbology, Architecture (which she loved), etc., because "they are not things for saints to worry about." God divided humans into alpha, beta, and o. Alphas should do their work, and omegas should do their duties. They should not overstep their bounds and interfere with their duties. In addition to sutra interpretation, the only course that saints have to learn is called the code of saints. According to the saint teacher who lectures, they are born with more sins than other people and need more commandments to reflect the sincerity of atonement.

"But..." Esther wanted to say something, but she felt a voice sounded in her head. It was Ann's voice, mocking how stupid this statement was. However, An was not by his side. Instead, he was the teacher who quickly approached. The other party frowned and indiscriminately punished Esther for cleaning the chapel on the grounds that she was disrespectful to God.

The auditorium is very large, and according to the rules, when cleaning, you must hold a rag and kneel on the floor to wipe it bit by bit.

"I'm not disrespecting God." Esther muttered.

[You say mundane things with the mouth that should say prayers. 】The teacher in white robe said in priest sign language.

Throughout the area where the Holy Ones were active, no voices could be heard. At first, perhaps it was because the saints' clothing made it difficult to talk. I don't know when it started to become an iron rule for the Alinggu saints: the saints' mouths can only be used to praise God, and they can only use priests' sign language to talk about the secular world. . The saints of Alinggu are proud of this.

Esther's knees swelled up at night, and the pain made her cry under the quilt. The next day she was reported for being "resentful about the punishment". There were six people in the same room, and it was unknown who reported her.

[Don’t do this again, be obedient and pray well. 】Nicole gestured to her, probably because she differentiated into an omega only two months earlier than her, and Nicole felt sympathy for Esther.

"Holy saints in other places can speak." Esther whispered. She was stubborn for some reason and refused to make gestures. "The unmarried omegas in our family can also go out on the street. My cousin She really wants to go to a monastery and become a saint. Holy people don’t have to marry. She wants to be good-looking most of all. She must not know that saints can’t show their faces.”

[A holy person is not an unchaste omega in the secular world. ] He expressed to his roommate on the bed that he was very proud of being superior to others, "Those unruly and lowly omegas will go to hell after death." 】

"But if everyone keeps their chastity in order to go to heaven, wouldn't humanity become extinct?" What An Zeng had said came out of Esther's mind, and she blurted it out.

Everyone fell silent.

[And betas...] He said hesitantly to the bed, probably thinking about the fertility rate of betas, and then changed his words, [If all omegas can keep their virginity, God will definitely send blessings and allow righteous people to have virgin conceptions. 】

She gestured faster and faster, as if she had convinced herself.

Esther was not convinced, and Ann's voice sounded again. "Virgin conception? God knows which lover's seed has good physical strength to climb into the monastery." She looked at the textbook boredly and muttered, "Do these people really believe in this? Really or not? If God is willing to work part-time "Send a child, why are there six genders when creating a human being? Without gender differences and wasting time on x-life, a spaceship can be built."

Although I don’t understand many parts, I always think it makes sense.

The days pass quickly and are very long. The most important thing is that every day is the same. Morning prayer, noon prayer, evening prayer, meals, classes... The youngest saint is only ten years old, but like everyone here, he does not have the liveliness of this age. Compared with here, other places in the seminary can be said to be full of vitality.

This room is prepared for the saints who come last. Esther is at the end, next to Nicole on the left, and there are four empty beds after her. Everyone looked numb every day, and showed no expression when they took off their clothes and hats to sleep. Their busy lives left them no time to think. But the busier Esther was, the more thoughts she had in her mind.

The commandments of the saints and Ann's voice made a noise.

It was not the first day that Anna Sullivan, the favored one of God, rebelled against the teachers. Most of the time, Esther listened in a daze and confusion. What the teacher said is right, and what Your Excellency the God-Blessed One said is also right. What should I do if there is a conflict? Well, I must be too stupid to understand the profound meaning of An's words! Esther thought optimistically, just remember to fill in what the teachers said during the assessment. She lived like this every day until she became a saint.

Esther seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and many things that she had not understood before suddenly became clear, as if the sun had cleared through the clouds.

God loves the world, but does he love the shepherds more?

God loves the world, but does he love alphas more?

God forgives everyone, but doesn’t he forgive omegas?

If this is the case……

if it is like this……

The quarrels on both sides turned into meaningless white noise. The heresies bearing the names of God's Favored Ones competed with the orthodox teachings of the Holy See in their minds. In this noisy silence, Esther heard her own voice. A treacherous thought arose in the heart of the holy one, and she heard her voice saying——

How can such a God be called omniscient, omnipotent, fair and selfless?

Esther opened her big brown eyes and blinked at the ceiling, her clenched palms full of sweat.

===========================

It was half a month later that Anxu walked into the Holy One's territory again.

At that time, Nancy said that the reason for isolating the saints was to protect them, but Anxu thought this was completely nonsense. "Then why not lock up Alpha?" An Xu said, "The gem was robbed, and everyone knows that they have to blame the thief rather than the beauty of the gem, not to mention that all the saints are alive!"

"I don't think this is reasonable." Nancy sighed, "But the rules and customs have been like this for so many years. If you break it rashly, you will only cause trouble. You are a favored person by God, so you are not worried about trouble, but what about Esther? "

"Garbage customs will remain garbage until they are broken." An Xu basically didn't listen and said to himself, "I'll bring Esther out right now."

She broke her promise.

The first time An Xu was stopped outside by guards, he was non-violent and non-cooperative. He didn't reply or get out of the way. An Xu tried to summon thunder for a long time, but the guards in front of him didn't even feel like they were shocked. Dreams are so annoying. Sometimes your wishes come true, and sometimes you are short of breath due to various reasons. There is no point in hurrying.

The second time Anxu found a shortcut, found a deserted place, climbed the wall and entered the residence of the Holy One. She originally planned to sneak into the village and shoot someone, but she picked up Esther and left in silence. Unexpectedly, when she got there, she realized that she was imagining something: all the saints were dressed exactly the same, without faces, floating around like a bird. Just a white ghost. It is impossible to identify someone based on their body shape and the patterns on their clothes. An Xu tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, determined not to alert the enemy, but to find a directory and come back another day.

The third time Anxu found Esther's name on the directory, but he didn't know the location of the dormitory where the saint lived. She lost her patience, and felt that her recent meditation seemed to have reached a bottleneck - in other words, it had reached the edge, and it seemed that she could push the lid open and upgrade to a higher level. So if you don't try, it's useless. She came up with something big and used all her strength to activate her powers, trying to explode like every protagonist.

Then she passed out for the first time in a long time and was in a coma for half a month.

Today, An Xu has adjusted his mentality and regards this level as an RPG to decrypt rather than kill monsters and upgrade. She used her gecko skills to find out Esther's location and timetable, and didn't get in until after the evening prayers. She wanted to enter the room she had found, so she deliberately chose a path that no one was walking on. Suddenly, she heard a small voice on the side of the path.

It was Esther's voice.
