Old-time musicians

In front of Fan Ning's eyes, the bodies of two adult women were shrunk and shrunk by one size, lying flat and circular on the bed in the same weird posture.

Other than that, some newspaper foam and other debris were placed in the empty space.

This allowed their bodies to be obscured by thick cloth, so that the concave and convex outlines did not appear too distinctive in the dim light - in this year and in this area, there were many bodies with mutilated or severely deformed limbs.

"Is this what Priest Hester looked like after he was suspected of being sacrificed?" Even though he had seen strong winds and waves in his life, Durk still felt a little shuddered, not to mention the reactions of others who saw it for the first time.

Fan Ning nodded in thought, glanced at Lieutenant Andrew who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and continued to teach these clergymen the principles of how to preach: "I will leave Janus soon, how will you decide in the future?" A person’s purity is determined by whether he is alert or not, whether he truly believes or whether he still doubts and hesitates.”

"They are often confused in their hearts and do not know what I am doing. I will always try to persuade them with good words every day while there is still time left, so that no one among them will be deceived by heresy or harden their hearts because of their military exploits. "

"Why is this soldier lying on the ground sad and weeping? Because he feels that the sin has been determined and the shock has come. No matter how much he prays again, he will never find rest. Son He is always not clean, so he remains silent, or looks forward to turning the covenant into a business deal, hoping that the masters will negotiate terms with him. "

The lieutenant stopped crying for a while and looked up with tears in his eyes.

"In the past St. James was preaching in the city of Tunguska, and he swore in anger that they would never enter the rest of God. Who was it that heard his words and made him angry? Was it not a saint who was designated by the priests as cleansed? Minians. But who has been tired of the "Unfallen Fire" for thirty-three years? Hasn't it still redeemed those who dumped their sinful corpses in the wilderness? From this point of view, they cannot enter. Rest, not because the weight of the sin offering was lacking, but because of unbelief.”

The priests nodded with deep understanding. Along the way, they had a more practical understanding of "Don't doubt, always believe" taught by Bishop Lavoisier. It was like going through a baptism, and their spirituality became shining and bright. Brilliant and new.

Perhaps, with Father Lavoisier's strength, it is not necessary to waste words to scare these young men, but he is teaching and setting an example, hoping that the Holy Light of Janus can be held in the hands of every priest.

When they thought that the bishop would leave Janus soon, they felt extremely sad and reluctant to leave.

Lieutenant Andrew's crying stopped, his sadness faded, and he finally straightened his back and spoke: "Your Majesty, Bishop, I will tell you now where Lannuot hid the ritual objects, and Lannuot taught me how to operate them. Newt was an important informant in the 'party circle', and I was his confidant in the Puntua area. After agreeing to work for him, he promised me several promotions in a row, some information and propaganda that I handled or mastered. There is a lot of information. I will sort it all out later, and then you can condemn me. No matter what, I will chant the name of 'Unfallen Fire' before I die."

Fan Ning listened calmly and nodded to let him lead the way: "Whoever justifies the wicked and whoever declares evil is an abomination to the Lord. By virtue of the laws she has established, you will be able to deal with all things that are not justified. , trusting in her is justified at this point.”

Andrew said in a hoarse voice as he walked: "The two female corpses just now were transported in the same batch as the other corpses on the first day, but they were actually still alive at that time, but they were arranged by Lanute behind the scenes to change them. It has become an unconscious state of 'suspended death', so that it can be transported in through normal channels together with other remains."

"In this way, when I come over, I will wake them up, complete the sacrifice process, turn their fake death into real death, and then be dragged into the same batch for cremation, so that this round will be completed without leaving a trace."

"What kind of sacrifice?" Durk asked with a frown.

Andrew led everyone through the mortuary bed area and shuttled among the rows of coffin cabinets.

He opened one of the ordinary-looking ones, and it still looked like a normal ashes niche and blood-stained clothing. But as he rotated the coffin counterclockwise to an irregular position of about 220-230 degrees, the illusion suddenly dissipated.

What caught everyone's eyes was a porcelain container that resembled a "wash sink". Its overall shape was slightly flat and its upper edge was very sharp.

Inside was a bound book-sized volume, a few candles, and a pair of sleigh bells.

"The operation Lannut taught me is called the 'Soul Crucible Ritual'." Andrew said.

"Soul Cauldron Ritual?" Priest Duerke had never heard of the name of this heretical secret ritual. "So, this ritual will turn the victim into a corpse ring? It seems that the things involved are a bit crude, and , if this is an altar, there is no witness talisman, and there is no secret atmosphere, what is it used for? "

Not only were they crude, they seemed to be particularly ordinary. Fan Ning stared at these objects.

He also didn't feel the presence of any unusual light and shadow. The candle was an ordinary candle, and the "sink" was still an ordinary object except for its strange shape. As for the sleigh bell, he knew that it was the Divine Advent Society's tribute to the "Mantra Snake". A frequently used utensil is not a ritual utensil.

Is there something wrong with that booklet? Like, is it "helmology"?

"What kind of book is this?" Fan Ning reached out and picked it up.

"Their teachings are all heresies." Andrew seemed to want to stop Fan Ning from opening it, and his tone was sincerely anxious, "The bishop is checking it. If you want to see it, go up and see it again. I'm afraid this place is not safe."

"This altar is a bit inconspicuous, but the execution conditions of the 'Soul Crucible Ritual' are probably more special than the masters thought. Don't underestimate its dangers."

"First of all, the 'secret atmosphere' in which it is carried out is very special. It needs to be carried out in an atmosphere of 'ambiguous chaos and collapse'. In order to create this atmosphere, some of them infiltrated into the enemy planes and used bombing to destroy certain A mysterious substance that I don’t know about was planted and dropped.”

"Then, an assistant is needed to cut the skin with the sharp edge of the 'Cauldron of Souls', soak the blood, and drip it on the candle. Then, he must recite some of the 'poems' collected at the back of this secret teaching, with me beside him. Pray for heretics and keep ringing the bell, and the assistant will gradually turn into a corpse ring and personally serve as a witness symbol referring to the 'Truth Serpent'."

"So, what's the effect?" Priest Duerke repeated the question just now.

Andrew finally shook his head in confusion:

"I really don't know this. I just know that as the ceremony progresses, among the large number of coffins in this area, a very small number of coffins that meet certain special conditions will undergo mutations. As for what the specific changes are, Lannut asked me Ignore it, as long as I complete the 'Soul Crucible Ritual', my mission will be completed, and he will probably deal with it later."

Therefore, there are three special things: the special secret atmosphere substance, the special source of the witness talisman, and the hymns and prayers in the teaching booklet of "The Mantra".

Then, corresponding to Priest Hester's eucalyptus, Hester may have read some poems after his mind was polluted by studying "helminthology", and was sacrificed by Aldan with sleigh bells to become a "corpse ring" Witness Talisman.

Fan Ning thought about it.

No, there are still a few people.

What is the object of transformation?

Who should be screened for free clinics?

Was there a third person at the scene at that time?

This ritual is the key to clarifying the intentions of the Divine Advent Society. Fan Ning thought for a long time, wanting to see what was written in the doctrine first - logically speaking, since it is something spread among acquaintances, it is unlikely to be Hidden knowledge is very dangerous, and he has read more than a few secret organization teachings.

But there is something really weird about this place after it was settled by a mysterious substance.

Considering Lieutenant Andrew's warning, Fanning decided to go out and have another look.

Now it is better to look for the affected coffins to see what kind of changes have occurred.

Fan Ning used the "Night Watchman's Lamp" trick again. This time, he felt that his spiritual energy was obviously consumed more, but the light and dark lights and shadows that appeared on the ground and walls still revealed the path.

"The Secret of Lighting" once again points the way.

He led everyone to a coffin cabinet and opened it.

Everyone's penis shrank.

There are no more ashes and relics inside, but a mess with completely ruined visual effects!

It’s the same as the “Hermiology Notes” integrated into the glass coffee table in Hester’s apartment!

It’s the same as the “sneaky water” that Mr. Wax used to examine himself!

The same goes for the distorted pixels in the photos taken with my “paradoxical antique” mobile phone!

The operation of thinking is a bit difficult.

Fan Ning closed the coffin with a bang and stood there for a longer time.

He thought of another clue that had been forgotten for a long time.

Priest Hester’s missing free clinic assistant, the assistant that the police could not find despite the curfew and the city’s lockdown!

"Bishop Lavoisier?" Duerke asked tentatively.

"I will make a preliminary guess about 'helminthology'."

Fan Ning took a deep breath.

He felt that the world had begun to become completely abnormal.

"The assistant who disappeared, he became 'helmology'."

Everyone's eyes widened incomprehensibly, especially a few soldiers who looked confused.

"'Hermology' is the radiant spiritual liquid 'Sneaky Water' of the 'Secret History' phase; 'Sneaky Water' is the substance that the Divine Society wants to extract from people who are inhabited by worms; People who do this will eventually become 'helmologists' themselves."

"The three of them are the same in a sense, they are different forms or stages of the same thing."
