musicians of old

In front of Fan Ning's eyes, the corpses of the two adult women withered and shrank by one size, and were placed on the bed in the same weird posture in a flat circle.

In addition to the space, some newspaper foam and other sundries were filled.

This allows their bodies to be covered by thick cloth, so that the concave and convex outlines do not appear too distinctive in the dark—this year, in this region, there are not a few corpses 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 big storms in his life, Durke still felt a little shuddering, not to mention the reactions of others when they 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 clergy the principles of how to preach: "I will leave Janus soon, how will you decide in the future? If a person is clean, to see if he is vigilant is to see if he is a true believer, or whether he is still hesitating."

"They are often confused in their hearts, and they don't know what I do. I always try to persuade them with good words every day while I still have this day, lest some of them be deceived by heresy, or rely on their military achievements, and their hearts will be hardened."

"This soldier lying on the ground, why does he have sorrow in his heart, why does he cry bitterly, because he feels that the crime has been settled, and the fright has come, it doesn't matter if he prays again, but he will never find rest, son If he is always unclean, he will remain silent, or hope that the contracted matter will become a business, and hope that the masters will negotiate terms with him."

The lieutenant's crying stopped a little bit, and he looked up with tears in his eyes.

"St. Janin, who preached in the city of Tungus, swore in his anger that they would never enter the rest of God. Who was it that heard his words and provoked him to anger? Was it not a great man who was cleansed by the priests? Minians. But who did the Unfallen Fire go out for 33 years, and who did it tire of, did it not still redeem those who poured their sinful corpses in the wilderness? So they cannot enter into rest, It is not because of lack of weight for the sin offering, but because of unbelief."

The priests nodded approvingly. Along the way, they had a more practical understanding of Bishop Lavoisier's previous teaching of "don't doubt, always believe", as if after a baptism, the spirituality became shining, Renewed.

Perhaps, with Father Lavoisier's strength, it doesn't take much to frighten these young people, but he is teaching and setting an example, and he hopes that the holy light of Janus can be held in the hands of every priest.

When they thought that the bishop would leave Janus in the near future, they felt extremely sad and resentful in their hearts.

But Lieutenant Andrew's crying stopped, his sorrow disappeared, and he finally straightened his back and said, "My lord bishop, I will now explain where Lan Newt hid the ritual objects and taught me how to operate them. Lan Newt is an important informant in the 'gathering circle', and I am his confidant in the Puntua area. After agreeing to do things for him, he promised me several consecutive promotions. There are also a lot of promotional materials, I will sort them out later, and then you can condemn me, no matter what, I will still chant the name of 'The Unfalling Fire' before I die."

After Fanning listened calmly, he nodded and signaled that he would lead the way: "Whoever justifies the wicked, and whoever defines evil, are abominations to the Lord. You rely on His laws, and after everything that cannot be justified , trusting in him, are justified in this."

Andrew said in a hoarse voice as he walked, "The two female corpses just now were brought in in the same batch as the other corpses the day before, but they were actually still alive at that time, but they were arranged by Lan Newt behind the scenes to turn them into dead bodies. It has become an unconscious 'fake death' state, so that it can be transported in through normal channels with other remains."

"In this way, I will wake them up when I come over, and after operating the sacrifice process, their fake deaths will become real deaths, and they will be dragged to the same batch of cremation, and this round will be completed without a trace."

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

Andrew led the crowd through the area of ​​the mortuary bed, and shuttled among the rows of caskets.

He opened the one with an ordinary appearance, and inside it still looked like a normal columbarium and blood-stained clothes, but as he rotated the coffin counterclockwise to an irregular position of about 220-230 degrees, the illusion suddenly dissipated.

What catches everyone's eyes is a porcelain container that looks like a "washing sink". Its overall shape is slightly flat and its upper edge is sharp.

Inside was a bound booklet the size of a normal book, a few candles, and... a pair of sleigh bells.

"The operation Lan Newt taught me is called the 'Soul Crucible Ceremony'." Andrew said.

"The Crucible of Soul Ceremony?" Priest Durke had never heard of the name of this heresy mystery, "So, this ritual will turn the sacrificed into a corpse ring? It seems that the things involved seem a little crude, and , if this is an altar, there is no witness talisman, no secret atmosphere, what is this for?"

Not only simple, but also seems to be very ordinary. Fan Ning stared at these objects.

He also didn't feel any strange light and shadows. The candles were ordinary candles, and the "washing sink" was still an ordinary thing except for its strange shape. As for the sleigh bell, he knew that it was a tribute to the "Ghost of the Truth" A utensil that is often used is not a ritual utensil.

Is there something wrong with that booklet?Like, is it "wormology"?
"What kind of ancient book is this?" Fan Ning reached out to pick it up.

"Their teachings are all heresy." Andrew seemed to want to prevent Fanning from opening it, his tone was sincere and anxious, "My lord bishop is investigating the case, if you want to read it, go up and look again, I'm afraid this place is not safe."

"This altar is a bit inconspicuous, but the conditions for performing the 'Soul Crucible Ceremony' are probably more special than the masters thought. Don't underestimate its danger."

"First of all, the 'secret atmosphere' when it is carried out is very special. It needs to be carried out in an 'ambiguous chaos and collapse' atmosphere. A mysterious substance that I don't know is cast down"

"Then, an assistant is needed, let him use the sharp edge of the 'soul cauldron' to cut the skin, soak the blood, drop it on the candle, and then he must recite some of the 'poems' included in the back of this secret teaching, and I am beside you Pray for heresy, keep ringing the bell, and the assistant will gradually become a corpse ring, and personally act as a witness symbol referring to the 'Gun of the Truth'."

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

Andrew finally shook his head blankly:
"I really don't know about this. I just know that as the ceremony progresses, among the large number of coffins in this area, there will be a very small number of coffins that meet certain special conditions. As for the specifics, Lan Newt told me Don't worry about it, as long as you complete the 'Soul Crucible Ceremony', my task will be considered complete, and he should deal with it later."

Therefore, there are three special features, the special secret atmosphere substance, the special source of the witness symbol, and the hymn and prayer in the teaching booklet of "The Beast of the Word of Truth".

Then, corresponding to the case of Priest Hester, Hester may have read certain poems after studying "wormology" and his mind was polluted, and was sacrificed by Aldan shaking the sleigh bell and became the witness of the "corpse ring" symbol.

Fanning thought about it.

No, there are still few people.

What is the object of transformation?
Screening objects for free clinic?
Was there a third person at the scene?
This ceremony is the key to clarifying the intention of the Academy of Descension. Fan Ning thought for a long time, wanting to see what was written in the teachings—theoretically speaking, since it was spread among acquaintances, it is unlikely to be Very dangerous hidden knowledge, he has read more than a few secret organization teachings.

But after this place was settled by a mysterious substance, it is indeed a bit weird.

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

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

Fanning repeated the same trick with "Lamp of the Night Watchman". This time, he felt that his spirituality was obviously consumed more, but the bright and dark lights and shadows that appeared on the ground and walls still revealed the path.

"The Secret of Lighting" pointed out the direction again.

He led the crowd to a coffin chest and opened it.

Everyone's pupils contracted.

There are no more columbariums and relics inside, but a mess of completely broken visual effects!

Same as the "Wormology Notes" melted into the glass coffee table in Hester's apartment!
It's the same as the "sneaky water" that Mr. Wax used to examine himself!
Same goes for the distorted pixels in photos taken with my "paradoxical antique" phone!
The operation of thinking is a bit difficult.

Fan Ning closed the coffin with a "bang", and was supposed to stand for a longer time.

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

Priest Hester's missing free medical assistant, the assistant who the police couldn't find no matter how hard they looked under the curfew and city closure!

"Bishop Lavoisier?" Durke asked tentatively.

"As for 'wormology', I will make a preliminary guess."

Fanning took a deep breath.

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

"The disappearing assistant, who became 'Wormology.'"

Everyone's eyes widened incomprehensibly, especially the few soldiers whose faces were full of bewilderment.

"'Wormology' is the brilliant psychic liquid 'Sneaky Water' of the aspect of 'Secret History'; 'Sneaky Water' is the substance that the Gods' Society wants to extract from people who are inhabited by worms; and those who are inhabited by worms people, they themselves will gradually become 'wormology'."

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