Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 352 342. Jesus in tears

At seven o'clock, a sun appeared in the sky, dyeing the clouds light orange, and illuminated the residents of Ganano Town lying on the snow. 80% of them were old people, wearing thick cotton-padded jackets and down jackets, and they were in deep sleep. of sleep.

Dean, Sean, Monica, and Peter worked hard for more than half an hour after dawn, using hypnosis to finally bring these more than 500 townspeople to the central square of the town.

There was no obstruction during this period.

In order to prevent the townspeople from catching a cold, Dean also thoughtfully injected a small ray of life energy into each person to keep them warm. When they woke up, their health condition even improved slightly.

Chewing high-energy protein to restore energy, Dean's hands on the edge of the crowd shimmered as if wearing a layer of platinum gloves. He pulled the unstable space node in front of him into the shape of a door, revealing a dark corridor and another piece of white at the end of the corridor. The vast "window" leads to another quiet town in Quebec City.

With his skill reaching level 2, Dean can keep the unstable node open for five minutes with extremely low consumption, which is enough to transfer all the townspeople.

Peter and Monica, covered in down jackets, hats, masks, and sunglasses, looked at the scene in front of them and licked their dark red lips. A trace of shock flashed through their eyes under the sunglasses.

"Your Excellency Demon Hunter, is this a space passage?"

Dean glanced at her,

"You have been a vampire for seventy or eighty years and you have never seen one?"

Monica shook her head in awe, and pulled the mask to further cover her fair cheeks to avoid being burned by the sun. "As far as I know, abilities related to space and time are very rare. I have never heard of it, Tepes." I can’t master it either.”

"This is good news, so be prepared." Dean stepped into the space passage. Starting with the youngest women and children, his telekinesis pulled the townspeople lying in the outside world into the space entrance one by one. After passing through a very short black void, I transferred to the snow in Quebec hundreds of kilometers away and continued to sleep peacefully.

A wave of darkness spread radially into the crowd, pouring into the body like a tide.

The old bodies were crowded into a pile, reaching out and lifting their feet in extremely uncoordinated movements, and swayed in that direction step by step.

Thump thump thump.

"Man, there's something wrong with these people!"

The red light in the old people's eyes was shattered by the power of the phantom snake and flew into the air.

……

This is a typical Catholic church. The space is in the shape of a Latin cross, with a long central corridor, thick walls, round vaults, and large piers. It looks strong and solemn.

Sean, who was guarding the crowd, shouted, rushed to the front and threw several old people to the ground.

"Careful, man!"

Fantasy abyss!

puff.

There are hundreds of seats distributed among them, a beautiful pulpit, a piano for singing, a statue of Jesus Christ, and a kneeling stool.

One by one, the bodies fell on the snow again, and they all turned their heads to face the sky, closing their eyes and grinning strangely.

"Can't the sunshine give you courage?"

Standing in mid-air, Dean looked towards the tallest building in the west of the town. The steeple of Andre's Church began to shine with a strong red light, as dazzling as a burning lighthouse. For a moment, it actually suppressed the sun in the sky. .

Half of the more than 500 townspeople were teleported away in less than two minutes.

The statue of Jesus raised his head from the cross, and his plaster-like pale and cold lips moved and uttered a friendly voice with a hint of majesty,

Monica and Peter were also immobilized by the red light, and were stuck in place like marionettes, breathing rapidly and desperately resisting control, and a look of fear quickly flashed in their eyes.

The door of the church was pushed open with the power of thought.

The process went extremely smoothly.

Dean immediately jumped out of the void, hovering above the heads of the zombie-like crowd and spinning around, a black light flashing in his eyes.

"Your Excellency, welcome."

Dean stood in the doorway and looked around.

The sunlight shines through the beautiful stained glass on the side walls and the rose windows behind the pulpit in front, rendering the church colorful.

Hundreds of old voices intertwined into a composite sound wave.

As far as the eye can see, apart from the solemn furnishings of the church, there is no one there, as if the person who summoned him before was not among them, but Dean's eyes turned to the door next to a statue of Jesus Christ nailed to a large cross. The ground froze.

Some mysterious force controls them.

But they still struggled mechanically under the huge pressure. Even if the bones of their arms were broken horribly, they remained indifferent, as if they could not feel the pain.

Under the crown of thorns, there was a face showing pain and compassion, and a pair of marble eyes were blood-red, staring straight at Dean, as if leading to the boundless sea of ​​blood and deathly silence.

Dean's stomach lurched in the void, and a huge warning came from the omen specialty. It was so strong that his heart skipped a beat, and he had an illusion in front of his eyes - outside the void, every ray enveloped the center of Ganano Town. The sunlight began to distort, turning from orange to light red, like blood diluted ten times.

The eyes on the pale and dull face were half-opened and half-closed, revealing shocking red pupils, staring straight at the west side of the town.

When the sun sets, he will launch a sneak attack silently.

The townspeople who were originally held in a long queue by telekinesis were pierced by the light red light and fell like raindrops on the snow.

Not an enemy…

Then he got rid of the vampire's hypnosis and slowly got up.

No matter how much you provoke him, he will never take the initiative to show up in the sun and put himself at a disadvantage.

Dean looked at the figures slowly passing by, and a voice spoke in his heart. Tepesh, who had lived for centuries, was extremely cunning and cautious.

It's like sleepwalking.

There were a few crisp sounds.

But the thought quickly disappeared.

"Then let's talk, Cepesh. I just have a question to ask you." Dean closed the space channel and looked at Sean below, "Take care of them. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Come and talk, we are not enemies."

But the breath exhaled from his lips was a blood-red smell that filled the entire holy church like a wave, blocking the light coming from the rose window. The light and shadow were mottled and floating on the wall, giving Dean the feeling of peering into the afterlife through the blinds.

He tried to peer through the stone sculpture with his God's perspective, but he only saw a liquid blood red.

"Are you Tsepes?"

Jesus turned his neck on the cross, gently pulled his two wrists out of the nails, and closed them in front of his lower abdomen. "The name is just a code name, it doesn't have much meaning. Tepesh is just a book I picked up from a book about 'The Impalement of the Grand Duke'" 'Selected from the interesting stories of Vlad III.

Dean ran his brain for a few times, and these names gave him a sense of familiarity. They seemed to be the names of famous vampires in various literary works.

Jesus smiled and said, "Relax, I just want to have a friendly exchange with you. After all, it is very difficult for existences to reach our level. Why should life and death be separated because of a small misunderstanding? If you let go and fight, countless All humans will be affected, is this what you want to see?”

Dean took a step forward and entered the church. The semicircular arch behind him closed automatically without any wind.

"Misunderstanding? Could it be that your past actions of destroying hundreds of small towns were false and a lie made up by humans?"

"That's true, but everything has a cause and effect. Aren't you curious why I do this?"

"Sacrifice to the Lord of Flies and blaspheme Jesus Christ?"

There was a sarcastic expression on the marble-carved face of Jesus Christ. The overlapping feet that were nailed together were gently pulled away from the cross, and the two-meter-high marble body fell lightly to the ground. "You know why I am hostile to Christ?" ?"

Dean made a gesture of listening, "This is exactly what I have always wanted to know."

"This is a long story, dating back to 1347," Jesus walked forward, and Dean followed the statue across the long corridor in the center of the church, walked to the front row of chairs and sat down.

And Jesus stood above the pulpit, looking out the window. His pale eyes turned into darkness, glowing faintly, like the halo of the moon. "At that time, I was still a staunch defender of God, a pastor, guiding believers to have a relationship with God." communicate."

Pastor, are you kidding me?

Dean's eyelids twitched.

The leader of the vampire team, a general under Beelzebub, the Lord of Flies, a guy who has lived for more than six hundred years, actually once believed in God?

"In the beginning, I had a happy family, a son and a daughter, and kind, enthusiastic, and honest church members."

"Life is peaceful and happy... I have always believed that it is God's grace that allows us to live a life without disaster. So I pray to it every day for twenty years."

Jesus’ voice is gentle and full of power, like an elder sharing the true meaning of life or a preaching pastor,

"But everything changed in 1347. A terrible disease swept through my hometown. One after another, the church members showed abnormalities... The first symptoms were nosebleeds, and egg-sized lumps appeared in places such as the inner thighs and armpits. The swelling spread and black spots appeared on the body, covering the entire arms and thighs..."

"Then chills, high fever, coma, shock. Even the body began to rot. "Even so, they are still in pain every day and continue to pray to God with their weak and weak bodies. "

"But they all died without exception. Bodies were piled up everywhere, some on the streets, some in some garbage dumps, layered like licorice stacks. The plague came so violently that no one had time to bury the dead. Corpses give birth to new corpses.”

"A corpse, a corpse."

"And my hometown, a lively town, became deserted in less than a year."

Dean suddenly realized that the other person was talking about the second Black Death pandemic.

"Are you sick too?"

"My three favorite family members and I are all sick." Jesus' voice trembled inadvertently. Even though more than six hundred years had passed, the full emotion in his voice was still as if it was yesterday. "There is no cure for this plague." It’s treatable, but no one is helping us.”

"The only thing I can do is to continue to look for the centripetal force in my heart, seek some universal comfort, and lead my family in constant prayer to God as I have done for the past twenty years."

Jesus looked at the pulpit in front of him and opened the Bible in the center of the pulpit.

"God, bless the one I love most, I would give anything to do it."

"I got no response and the family got sicker and sicker."

"I relied on my past connections in the church and spent all my money to contact the bishop of our region."

"But the bishop just sent me a letter and it said - God often sends pestilences, tragic famines, conflicts, wars and other forms of disaster to scare and torment people and drive them away. sin."

There was a moment of silence in the church.

Boom!

Two white candles on the left and right sides of the pulpit suddenly ignited without fire, and the flames illuminated Jesus' scornful eyes.

"So, the church says that the source of the Black Death is our own sins as pastors, believers, and humans."

"The only thing we can do is pray and repent."

“If you can survive sin, you have passed God’s test; if you cannot survive, it means you have not passed the test.

……

When Dean heard this, he reached out and squeezed his knee.

Why does God treat his believers so equally and indifferently, never responding to them?

Does God really exist?

"So, you were the only one who made it through?"

"No," Jesus looked at Dean in the front row, "the whole family is dead, including me."

"But shortly after death, something magical happened. My wife and I came back to life from the corpse pit. We didn't understand anything. We could only hug each other tightly and cry bitterly around the cold corpses of our children."

Dean was shocked, "God's priest died because of the Black Death, but he came back to life again? Who saved you?"

"I didn't understand at that time. I only knew that we had gained a second life." Jesus' tone became very subtle, and there was a hint of joy in the original heavy tone. "But we soon discovered that we were no longer human beings." .”

"We have become afraid of sunlight, need to eat human blood regularly, and are immune to diseases including the Black Death. It is like becoming the descendants of the cursed Cain in the Bible - vampires."

Dean realized that it might be Beelzebub, the Lord of Flies, who saved their couple. The vampires in this world are most likely Beelzebub's creations.

The event progress jumped to ninety-five percent.

“Although God did not provide me with a helping hand and I lost the two people I loved most, I did not hate it either. I even still followed the teachings in the Bible about being kind to others and refraining from doing evil.” Jesus said, “I just I want to live a good life with my wife.”

"There was a long period of peace after the resurrection. Starting in 1348, the two of us have been moving around the countryside. We lived for at most ten years before moving to avoid being discovered by others. The shocking truth about immortality. We lived in anonymity. Not harming any innocent people is more principled than you can do.”

"Gradually, we discovered the secret of vampire reproduction and understood the pain of the Black Death."

"So in the next hundred years or so, we successively transformed four boys and girls who were sick, abandoned, and about to die in pain, and gave birth to four new family members."

Dean recalled Monica's words that a vampire could transform into two children at most in its lifetime. It was normal for Tepesh and his wife to transform into four, but he immediately had more doubts, "What about the law of convergence? The life of a six-headed vampire." Doesn’t being together trigger the law of convergence?”

"At that time, the Law of Convergence was not as powerful as it is now, so it was not difficult to deal with it."

Ok?

Dean's head twitched, "So the law of convergence has been increasing since ancient times?"

"Yes, this is my reward for your patient listening."

"why?"

"You can only ask the gods and the world in person." Jesus nodded to him and returned to the topic, "Our family lived happily until 1487, and lived the happiest time in my life. A new round of society has begun. The turmoil... was more severe than when the Black Death first broke out.”

“The ongoing Black Death pandemic has kept Europe in a state of unrest and made people wake up to the fact that Jesus Christ and incompetent politics cannot bless and save them.”

"In order to divert people's grievances against themselves, people in the church and government began to propagate that all misfortunes in society are related to the Lord of Flies (Beelzebub) and wizards, and that everything is the fault of the Lord of Flies. All non-human supernatural creatures They are all accomplices of the Lord of Flies in spreading the plague."

"The Black Death was also passed on to humans by us."

The face of the statue of Jesus, as white as jade, turned black as an abyss without realizing it, and the blackness was still spreading down its neck.

"As a result, the church's Inquisition, combined with the government's army and the demon hunters who were bewitched by the people, launched a hunt for all supernatural creatures in the world."

"This movement is now known as a witch hunt."

Dean took a breath.

The origin of the witch-hunting movement in this world is actually the Black Death.

"The six members of our family are all vampires, that is, they are the targets of hunting. At that time, we were very restrained in sucking blood, so we were very weak. We were chased by demon hunters and people from the church and hid in panic. We started running away every day when we woke up. It has to be like a nightmare."

"Finally I heard the horn of Midian in my dream, and I wanted to take my family and escape to Midian, the monster paradise, to hide."

Dean suddenly interrupted, "Wait, vampires can also hear Midian's call?"

"Well, all supernatural creatures can." Jesus Christ paused, "But my family and I were caught by a group of heretical judges on the way to Midian."

"In front of me, they shouted, 'This is God's will, inhuman evil must be wiped out,' and then they pulled out our teeth and nails, chopped off our limbs, sprinkled salt on the wounds, and applied garlic juice. , and fill us with crosses.”

"Finally...hiss...one by one...well...cut off the heads of the people I loved most, set them on the stake, exposed them to the sun, and burned them to ashes in the flames."

Huhu——

Rumble!

A gust of wind burst open the church door and ravaged the hall through the corridors.

All the rose windows on the walls on both sides exploded, and countless sharp glass shards shot out onto the chairs and the floor, sinking deeply into them. Through the window frames, the sun in the sky cast in blood-red sunlight.

Several crosses hanging on the side walls of the church clanked and suddenly turned 180 degrees, turning into inverted crosses.

In the center of the inverted cross, the two candlesticks on the pulpit spurted out soaring firelight, and from the firelight, shocking fountains of blood emerged, staining the ceiling high.

The holy church became a red and black inferno.

The deep and sad sigh of Tepesh echoed in the violent turmoil,

"I was dead from that day on."

"From that day on, I heard the call of my Lord, the Lord of the Flies."

"I swore an oath to my family who died in pain twice——"

"I will destroy the 10,000 gatherings of followers of Jesus Christ and subvert their hypocritical and disgusting beliefs."

“The world doesn’t need God.”

Jesus, whose body was as dark as oil, looked at Dean, with two lines of blood-red tears falling down his cheeks, and in his moving mouth, his fangs were shining.

"Are you still going to stop me?"
