Chi Yiyin doesn't like church.

The church orphanage always wears a kind and holy cloak, but Chi Yiyin, who is in it, can clearly see what is hidden under its beautiful cloak, and she doesn't even have a good impression of the clergy or even God.

Even when Chi Yiyin awakened his ability for the first time when he was a teenager, the first sentence he wrote down in his notebook was——

[God died, His temple collapsed on the earth, and on the ruins, a new world will be born. 】

Of course, this sentence did not take effect.

At that time, he hadn't figured out his ability clearly, and he didn't know the trigger conditions and realization conditions of the awakened power.

In order to explore his abilities, Xiaochi Yiyin spent a lot of time and energy, suffered a lot, and even almost died because of failure.

Only later did he realize that he is not Ma Liang, the magic pen, and not everything presented in his pen can become a reality.

And most importantly, what he pays attention to and even writes must be real "people".

It cannot be just a false and vague concept.

Koike Yiyin doesn't even know if "God" really exists, so how can he kill God?

For this to happen, first and foremost, God must be real.

And appear in front of him, be understood by him, and find out the past, present and future that belong to the gods.

After growing up, Chi Yiyin has already realized how unfeasible the idea of ​​killing gods is, and even speaking out for the world to hear, will be despised and considered absurd.

Although Chi Yiyin never denied her original thoughts, she buried her thoughts deeply in her heart and never expressed it to anyone.

He who does not even have the courage to try or imagine is not qualified to hear him talk about his soul.

Later, Chi Yiyin became a novelist, and the idea of ​​killing gods was gradually buried. He paid more attention to those inhuman things that suffered from pain in reality.

Even the church and the gods have gradually faded out of his sight. It has been a long time since he heard anything about God.

Until now, Li Sijun told him the story that happened in the Golden Church.

Strictly speaking, this is not a church, but a temple, enshrining the most holy and authoritative statue in the world.

According to legend, this statue enshrined here is the proof that the **** descended to the world and walked the earth under the devout prayers of the clergy more than a dozen centuries ago.

When He left, the believers begged Him to send down the decree of God and leave it on the earth, so that thousands of believers can have a carrier of faith, so that they can pray devoutly and express their belief and loyalty to God.

Devotees cast immortal temples of gold and jewels, building dwellings they deemed worthy of their gods, in which to house precious images of gods.

The statue is placed high under the dome. It is pure white without a trace of color, and its face is blurred without facial features. However, it can make all worshipers feel the awe-inspiring majesty and God's mercy for the world.

For more than a dozen centuries, generations of pious believers have repaired and expanded this temple with rare jewels and a large amount of gold, and finally became the majestic and vast Golden Temple today.

This place is even listed as an unsolved mystery in the world. No one knows how to build this hundreds of meters high temple without a single main beam with the skills of more than a dozen centuries ago, and even The pure white idol is placed at the highest point of the temple dome.

The existence of miracles has also made many believers more steadfast in the truth of God.

However, it does not undertake the function of daily prayer for any believers. It is more of a large-scale worship event and a place where high-level clergy are stationed all year round.

"What I have seen is an illusory world, the beauty that is specially presented in front of me, covering all the sins under the darkness."

Li Sijun lowered his eyes slowly, looking at a golden statue not far away.

Chi Yiyin followed his gaze, and saw a little blood oozing from the foot of the statue, staining the golden gold, which was particularly conspicuous.

It was the spot he had noticed before, and because of this, he increased his guard against Li Sijun.

"It's death..."

Li Sijun sighed softly: "Life is committing sins. In the name of God, believers commit unforgivable sins to their compatriots."

As soon as the words fell, the ground under Li Sijun's feet suddenly began to tremble, pieces of golden floor tiles were thrown away by an invisible force, and the temple, which was still resplendent just now, suddenly looked like a monster with peeling gold foil, revealing its original hideous and terrifying appearance.

The blown wind rushed towards Chi Yiyin, and his brown hair fluttered in front of his eyes, making him instinctively turn his face to the side and block his eyes with his arms.

His current figure is too thin and slender, and he was almost blown away by the strong wind. Fortunately, Li Sijun was there, as calm as a mountain, and fixed him on his shoulders without any accidents.

When the gust of wind gradually weakened, Chi Yiyin was finally able to open his eyes and turn his head to look forward.

And everything in front of him made him slowly open his eyes wide, and he couldn't hide his surprise for a while.

The original golden floor tiles are gone, exposing the ground below, but it is not ordinary granite or sand, but...

The piled up corpses flowed like rivers of blood.

Among those corpses, quite a few people died without resting their eyes. Their dull and cloudy eyes were wide open, as if they wanted to ask someone in doubt, but they were confused and didn't know where to go. Only the empty eyeballs were gradually rotting away, and finally only the dark eye sockets were left. domed sky and idols.

Only the small area where Li Sijun stood was still intact, under the dome statue, it was the last pure land.

In addition, the ground of the entire temple has revealed its original appearance, the corpses are piled up like bricks and stones, as if they do not have life, but just inorganic sand.

The corpse stretched all the way to the end of the field of vision, and there was no clean ground to be seen. Countless eyes were looking up at the dome, not knowing whether they were worshiping or questioning.

Chi Yiyin made a rough estimate. For the corpses he could see, if counted according to the number of sandbags piled up one by one, there would be tens of thousands of corpses.

And that's not counting the ones he didn't see.

No one remains indifferent in the face of such a huge death.

Chi Yiyin couldn't come back to his words for a long time.

After a long time, he murmured softly: "Human sacrifice."

Li Sijun looked at it in surprise, but Chi Yiyin didn't expect Chi Yiyin to know what it was.

Chi Yiyin pursed her lips, and said, "I spent two years in the church orphanage. Few people would be wary of eleven or twelve-year-old children, especially when I confuse them with a well-behaved appearance... the nuns Talking with the dean in front of me is not shy."

church?

Li Sijun was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

"But then, the church that served as an orphanage caught fire and burned to ashes."

Chi Yiyin pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was really a shy and innocent boy. It's just that what he said was creepy.

"When the church collapsed, in the ruins after the fire, I saw the body exposed under the church."

Some of the corpses have turned into bones, some have just begun to rot, and the clothes on their bodies are also different. From hundreds of years ago to modern attire, the span of time is exactly the time when the church was built.

At that time, when Xiaochi Yiyin looked at the corpses, he suddenly remembered the purification ceremony held in the church.

and those who undergo purification.

The church originally used as an orphanage should not undertake other functions, especially such rituals as purification.

And those who accepted the purification also disappeared after the purification ceremony.

The family members or friends who brought them did not pursue it. They even smiled happily when they left the orphanage. When asked by others, they said that the purified people stayed in the church to receive subsequent purification.

But Xiaochi Yiyin knew very well that those people were not in the church.

And when the church collapsed, he finally knew where those people went.

—After death, he was buried underground.

Not even their deaths are known.

Later, after reading the book, Chi Yiyin finally knew what it was.

death sacrifice.

Burying sinful people under the church expresses their determination to purify to the gods, and also allows the church to suppress demons and make the building more stable.

Although when Chi Yiyin searched everywhere, he also knew that among ordinary people who do not believe in God, there is also the custom of putting dead animals in the foundation before building a house, so as to stabilize the building and keep the house safe.

He even saw with his own eyes that someone killed other children's children, buried the children's bodies in the foundation, and wanted to use human sacrifices.

But the fact that the foundation of the church was laid with bones has lasted for a hundred years, and a large number of bones have accumulated.

But those believers don't think it's murder. They think it's devotion, becoming the foundation of God, and they even feel happy about it.

Chi Yiyin hates such things, so she stays away from the church.

After hearing Chi Yiyin's narration, Li Sijun slowly softened his brows and eyes, and lowered his eyes: "Using living people to sacrifice to death is an old law that has been abolished hundreds of years ago, but it can't stand up to the greed of some people." , Obedience and violation, and still carry out this matter in secret."

"Besides—Yinyin, do you really think that those who died after participating in the purification ceremony were really sent to be purified by their relatives and friends?"

"Do not."

Li Sijun's voice was very soft, as if he was sighing for his life: "It's just their family or friends who found an excuse to kill them through such a so-called ritual, but they don't need to take responsibility."

"Some family members and friends are not family members, but jackals."

Just like Li Sijun once saw in the Golden Temple.

The ground was full of unsatisfactory corpses, and many of them had struggled violently before they died, desperately wanting to live.

Even those who yearn for death no matter how much they yearn for death, will inevitably struggle and burst out with a strong survival instinct at the moment when they face death face to face.

But those people did not get the chance to continue to live.

Among those who died, some were turned over by relatives and friends who hated them. New and old hatreds were added together, and they wanted to get rid of them quickly, but they didn't want to bear the stigma of murder.

So those corpses became the foundation.

The clergy of the Golden Temple knew these things, and even watched the people who were turned over cry and begged to kneel on the ground, begging for a little possibility of survival.

But nothing happened.

They even said that this is the devotion of a **** and the glory of believers.

Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!

Li Sijun didn't even want to recall how shocked he was when he found out about it.

God is silent, but the priests talk a lot.

They take the name of God, but use God's name as a fig leaf for their own uglyness, so as to commit the crime of killing their compatriots, but instead blame God for their sins.

So, from that moment on, Li Sijun closed his eyes.

"Yinyin, you just said that you hate God and want to kill God?"

Li Sijun said softly: "I also... feel the same way."

And it was the blood at the feet of the statue that caught Chi Yiyin's attention that first made Li Sijun realize something was wrong.

This detail is also faithfully presented by the reproduced memory, completely reproducing the whole process of Li Sijun's transformation in this scene.

Talking about the past, the atmosphere around Li Sijun became heavy and depressed for a moment.

But Chi Yiyin did not relax his vigilance towards Li Sijun because Li Sijun agreed with his ideas.

He thought of something else.

In these several instances, Li Sijun appeared by his side, either as an NPC in the instance, or as a player, but no matter what, it is a fact that Li Sijun was able to enter the instance freely.

And under Chi Yiyin's observation, he found that the manager of the cafe had a different attitude towards Li Sijun.

The woman in the long skirt smiled at all the players, but only for Li Sijun, what she seemed to see was not a customer walking into the cafe, but the air.

This is not in line with the style of women in long skirts.

What's more, in the first two dungeons, Ma Yuze and Gu Xichao's attitudes towards Li Sijun were both weird.

Ma Yuze's respect for Li Sijun, the relationship between Gu Xichao and Li Sijun is like old friends for many years...

Chi Yiyin couldn't help but wonder, if there are players like Bailan who can manipulate the temporary residence area, are there also players who can manipulate the dungeon?

Just like Li Sijun.

Perhaps, Li Sijun can make the dungeon make corresponding changes according to his own wishes.

Although the information that Chi Yiyin has obtained all the time shows that the dungeon exists independently of the game field, even the system must act according to the rules, and the dungeon cannot be changed.

But in the eyes of ordinary players, isn't the temporary residence area the same?

When they don't stand high enough, they can't see the truth.

For many people, the temporary residence area is a sufficiently safe and comfortable place. The purpose of their efforts to earn points is to enter the temporary residence area and stay forever. It is best to never enter the instance again and risk their lives.

However, as a high-level player, Jingcha specially warned Chi Yiyin based on the temporary residence area, telling him not to enter the temporary residence area and rely on short-term safety.

Perhaps, it's the same thing as the temporary residence area.

The reason why the intelligence said that the copy is independent and no one can intervene is because what they see is not the whole picture of the matter. In fact, there may be people like Li Sijun who can control the dungeon as he likes.

Just like in [Snow Mountain Cry], many players thought that copy was simple.

But when Chi Yiyin checked the information with Jingcha in the remaining four days, and then slapped Gu Xichao sideways, he realized in astonishment that to a large extent, it wasn't that those players made a wrong judgment.

Instead, their memories were erased, and even the recorded and broadcast materials of the live broadcast room were lost.

In this way, the people behind are not aware of the danger that happened before, enter the copy unprepared, and then die.

Or get away with it.

The survivors were complacent, saying that this dungeon is really simple, and there is no difficulty at all.

But they are only survivors under the probability. What the "world around them" brings is a further limitation of vision, which makes them unable to see the real danger.

If Li Sijun is as Chi Yiyin guessed, then he can completely avoid the dungeon effect when he is in the cafe, instead of recalling the past memories like Chi Yiyin, and even the recurring memories appear in the cafe. in front of others.

This is tantamount to an offense to someone who values ​​privacy, let alone someone as proud as Li Sijun.

Chi Yiyin couldn't help but wonder if this was done on purpose by Li Sijun to soften and shake him, or to use similar experiences to gain his trust.

After all, he remembered very clearly that when he wanted to attack the manager of the cafe in the cafe, it was Li Sijun who stopped him.

But here, Li Sijun showed a protective posture.

"What the **** are you..."

Chi Yiyin murmured softly.

Who is it?
