Start Cthulhu with priest

Chapter 18 18. Subtle guilt

The ceremony is finally over.

An Le still didn't recover from the pain just now.

It's not that he hasn't experienced more profound pain, but as long as he thinks of that kind of endless torture, even he will be moved by it.

From this perspective, Yannv's irritability and irascibility are completely understandable.

Apart from empathizing with Yannv, An Le is still very satisfied with the filthy rationality of this wave of harvest.

【Filth Sanity: 25】

This is after taking into account his income from killing the foul blood beast in reality, and the remaining 8 dirty sanity points from last time.

Enough to make him draw cards twice, or upgrade twice.

The reason why An Le saved it was useless, other than to see if there was a gift level higher than "Light Grey", it was also due to the sequelae of "Gestalt Collapse".

Over the past six days, this feature still occasionally affects the cognition of An Le.

Fortunately, the frequency is gradually decreasing, and the degree is gradually decreasing.

It seems that this is like a cold, under the body's "immunity", it will continue to approach normal.

In order to avoid the aggravation of the disease, An Le saved up two rounds and planned to use it after the ceremony.

Strange to say, after the ceremony, An Le himself felt refreshed, as if the haze in his mind had been dispelled.

'This is.'

An Le frowned involuntarily, with an ugly expression.

He suddenly figured out what happened to the unexplained anomaly and the emptiness in his heart during dinner in the evening.

twelve.

The total number of children in the orphanage is not eleven, but twelve!

After checking the familiar faces again, An Le quickly found the "forgotten child."

——Lingxi.

A ten-year-old demihuman girl with rhino horns.

He was one of the children closest to An Le in the orphanage, and he was also ordered by him to investigate the truth of the rumors.

Even An Le remembered——

Just a few days ago, he heard from Lingxi that her tenth birthday was coming soon.

Aren't they still preparing for this in the orphanage a few days ago?

Even that mobile phone seems to be a gift that Anle wanted to prepare for Lingxi after hearing what she said?

Once the memory has a slight ripple, it is like a wave of waves rolled up.

Those unreasonable and incongruous places all return to their original positions.

But it was accompanied by the chill rising from the bottom of An Le's heart.

Tampering with other people's memories at will?

And others are completely unaware of this?

Although he already knew that the extraordinary abilities in this world were unimaginable, but right now, An Le still understands them more deeply.

"Anle, are you okay?"

Discovering An Le's anomaly, Yannv asked hoarsely.

After the "filthy sanity" was taken away by the tentacles, she was not much different from before.

Unlike those ordinary believers, at this time, it seems that the filter of the holy light has been applied to the body, calm and peaceful.

An Le: "I'm fine."

Even though he was a little anxious and really wanted to figure out the whole story, but now, he still had to deal with Yannv in front of him.

"I've forgotten a lot of things."

An Le looked at Yan Nu with pleading eyes.

"Can you tell me what it looks like outside this church?"

Now that the old-fashioned excuse of "amnesia" has been used, it is better to follow through to obtain more information.

As for the possibility of arousing the suspicion of Sister Serene, there is no way to do it.

Everything has pros and cons.

Besides, An Le is not talking nonsense.

As far as the knowledge he has come into contact with in reality, it has been shown that such rituals associated with gods are very likely to cause unpredictable results.

Amnesia is fine.

It seems normal to go crazy directly.

So now, Sister Serene doesn't seem to be suspicious either?

"The outside world."

Yannv tilted her head, thought seriously, and finally uttered a word.

"fog!"

"Very thick, very white fog!"

This answer made An Le slightly startled, and he quickly thought of the fog that spread to the deserted city—it was it that caused 80% of the people in the city to disappear.

For no reason, An Le felt that there was some connection between the two, he asked.

"Everywhere?"

"Everywhere."

Yannv replied, and added another sentence.

"At least where I walked, it was all fog."

"What else but fog?"

"And guys like them."

Yannv pointed to the believers next to her.

At this time, some believers had already started to walk out, and before leaving, they cast grateful glances at An Le, and some people opened their mouths.

"Thank you, Father Ann."

"See you tomorrow, Father Ann."

The words they said were also very normal, and they walked out slowly after finishing speaking.

At this moment, An Le suddenly understood where the inexplicable absurdity came from.

The words and actions of believers seem to be normal, just like ordinary people.

But that was not out of their own will, it was more like a mechanical and programmed action.

An Le has reason to believe that this is also what the tentacles instilled into their brains.

——Control the believers like a puppet, and act according to the planned script.

So if you want to communicate normally with these believers, most of them can't do it.

That is to say, today's luck is relatively good, and An Le can learn this information when he meets Yannv.

"Are there many like them?"

"A lot."

An Le's thoughts turned.

It is known that believers can extract filthy intellect, so more believers means more filthy intellect.

But, how can we trick them into the church?

Does this have anything to do with the capacity of the church?

Is there a need for more intimacy?

An Le knew nothing about these issues.

But at least I have an idea - something is better than nothing!

*****

After about half an hour.

An Le asked Yannv a lot of questions, and gained a general understanding of the world the church is in.

And in the process, An Le faintly sensed that she had a feeling for herself.

Love?

Like the feeling that the dog at home wants to be close to the owner?

Coupled with her own personality, she seems to be extraordinarily simple, so she knows everything and answers all questions.

Even An Le felt a subtle sense of guilt.

It's like cheating a child's lollipop.

"Anle, then I'm leaving?"

"I really left?"

"Is it really gone?"

Standing at the door of the church, Yannv almost turned her head three times a step, like a toddler going to school for the first time, refusing to leave her parents' side.

Because of this, the flames on her body faded a lot.

In all fairness, An Le really wanted to keep Yannv - how could such a high-quality employee be easily let go?

It's just that according to her and Sai Lei, if she stays in the church... she will die!

Both the spirit and the body will perish.

That's why I had to leave.

"Next time we meet, don't forget me."

Yannv spoke a little aggrieved, but finally turned and left.

The flames were quickly engulfed by the thick fog outside.

As the door slowly closed.

Now, only An Le and the nun are left in the church.

Sai Lei walked towards An Le.

Thanks to "AD 1" for the reward of 100 coins! Thank you so much!
