Old days in the box

Chapter 105 Fragmented Faith

In front of the screen at this time, Zhou Xiaozheng was looking at the biography of the hooded man while giving Freya guidance.

Once the view is opened and the believer logs in.

The intelligence advantage of this window was immediately apparent.

No matter what kind of monsters they are, as long as they are not at the level of gods, they will all be invisible in biographies.

"Mark, 33 years old, priest of the Sea Father Order."

"One of the priests of the branch of the Sea Father Order. On the surface, he is loyal to the order, but in fact, he has been corrupted by the 'Voice of the Deep Sea' belief that split within the order. He is looking for lone foreigners to serve as living sacrifices. Dedicate it to your superiors."

"Click to see more information."

After seeing such a dramatic biography of his, Zhou Xiao immediately decided to ask Freya to follow him and take a look.

On the first day I arrived in the Frankish Kingdom, I encountered the heretical sect here.

What a rare opportunity!This is a great opportunity for Zhou Xiao to develop his own faith!
At this time, Freya heard the divine guidance from the Son of the Old One, and immediately understood the god's intention. It was obviously for her to go deep into the enemy camp.

So she changed her expression and immediately said to the hooded man: "I'm very interested, let's go."

The leader of the hooded man was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't even expect it to go so smoothly.

But he immediately praised her and took Freya to the alley behind the square.

The three or five congregants who were traveling with him followed them and blocked the escape routes on the left, center and right respectively to prevent the girl from suddenly repenting and running away.

As they moved, Zhou Xiao's window slowly opened up more views of the city and saw more areas.

Under the guidance of Priest Mark, Freya gradually moved away from the sunny square and followed him to the dark alleyway under heavy cover.

This place is as complex as a maze. As the alley goes deeper, the sunlight becomes weaker and weaker, all blocked by the shadows of numerous buildings.

Beggars and homeless people began to appear on both sides of the alley.

They were all skinny, some had tobacco in their hands, and their faces were pale.

Only then did Freya realize that this was the corner where the poor people of Marseille City gathered.

These alleys are all gathered near the sewage outlets and exhaust gas outlets. The smoky atmosphere is mixed with fish and dragons. From a distance, it looks like a maze of corruption. From Zhou Xiao's God's perspective, he can see it very clearly.

After all, they are a crooked sect, so it is not surprising that they would choose a place like this to gather together.

Zhou Xiao followed Freya's perspective and watched them arrive at the end of the alley.

This place is a meeting point between countless alleys, gray and dilapidated.

There is a quite wide square space in the middle, with alleys in all directions, leading to every corner of Marseille, like rat holes extending in all directions.

The topographic value of this place alone is already worthy of Zhou Xiao coming in to broaden his horizons.

If he could go through all these alleys, he would probably be able to open up at least half of the entire road network in Marseille City.

At this time, as the hooded man walked in with Freya, more hooded and robed men came out of the shadows of several alleys and gathered towards the open space in the middle.

Behind each of these hooded men was one or two unfamiliar faces, all of whom had come from all corners of the city to intimidate and lure them.

"Don't worry, I'll always be by your side and continue to find out the purpose of this group of people."

Zhou Xiao once again gave Freya instructions, reassuring her and ensuring that she would not act suddenly.

This good show has just begun, and Zhou Xiao wants to see what they are doing here.

Freya remained calm and nodded secretly to the top of her head in response to her god.

At this time, each of them brought their own prey, gathered here, and took off their hoods and robes, revealing their bodies under the robes.

What was exposed on their bodies was a series of deliberate scars!

Some of them had wooden nails nailed to their bodies, some had chains impaled on their bodies, and some had torture racks on their bodies, all of which were deeply engraved into their bodies, which was simply shocking.The people they brought here all panicked and turned to look at the alley exits around them.

But more people immediately walked out of the shadows of these alleys, and hundreds of members of the Sea Father Order quickly surrounded the place, completely cutting off their escape route.

What seemed like a normal alleyway square in the blink of an eye turned into a terrifying heretic gathering!

Freya hid among the group of innocent people who were brought here, quietly observing the group of people around her.

At this time, an extraordinarily tall man walked out of the crowd, holding a strange steam device, and came to them.

"My compatriots - on behalf of the Sea Father Order, I welcome you." The man raised the steam device in his hand and said loudly to the group of them.

“The reason why you are gathered here today is simply to get closer to your own gods and listen to the true divine guidance—our Sea Father Order, as followers of the God of Raging Waves, obtains His supreme instructions from the deep sea. Today brings you exactly this opportunity."

As he recited loudly, the man turned on the steam device in his hand, which made a strange vibration.

This device looked very much like a disk with positive and negative electrodes. As he started it, the electrodes at both ends immediately produced current and sparks, forming a mysterious blue curtain in the middle of the disk.

The dimly lit alley square was suddenly illuminated with a faint blue inside and outside by this curtain.

"This Sea Father Church also believes in Niord, the God of Raging Waves? According to that, there is not only the Church of the God of Raging Waves who believes in Niord?" Zhou Xiao thought while listening to this guy's words. road.

At first, Zhou Xiao thought that the Sea Father Sect, like other sects in the square, was a small sect with unpopular gods. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be another sect that believed in Niord, the god of wrathful waves.

It doesn't sound strange that the belief in a god splits into several different versions of sects in the mortal world. There are often such examples in the real world.

But according to the biography of the person just now.

There was division and corruption within the Sea Father Order. The group of people in front of them had actually deviated from the order's beliefs and secretly formed a heretical belief called "The Voice of the Deep Sea."

In other words.

A sect that had itself splintered off was once again divided internally.

"This Niord's mortal faith is too unstable. It splits and deviates at every turn. No wonder he is at a disadvantage." Zhou Xiao couldn't help complaining.

At this time, the tall man held the curtain disc in his hand flat against his chest and faced Freya and the others who were brought here.

"Come on, touch our miracles, and you will naturally hear the true revelation of your own gods." The man's tone left no room for doubt.

The disk device he held on his chest was obviously some kind of item with extraordinary power.

At this time, the believers who took off their robes and hoods gathered around, and one of the innocent people was caught by them, pushed in front of the man, and forced to grab the two electrodes in the disk.

The man suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted. His whole body became stiff and straightened, and he held on to the two electrodes tightly for more than ten seconds.

However, after the person recovered from the stiffness and released his hand holding the electrode.

A strange smile appeared on his face.

“I have heard true revelation and understand the meaning of my existence.”

Seeing this man's change, as if he had been completely brainwashed, the remaining people all turned pale, knowing that their day was in danger.

"Very well, my compatriot, you have understood the oracle," the tall man nodded to him, and then continued to look at the remaining crowd, "Next."

Seeing this, Zhou Xiao has basically understood what this Deep Sea Voice belief is about.

In the name of the Sea Father Order, this faith spreads its followers everywhere and brings people back to offer sacrifices. This sacrifice is not to kill them, but to brainwash them into becoming members of their own faith.

This development method is quite secretive.

Zhou Xiao put on the headset and was about to tell Freya that it was enough and that she could leave.

On the screen, Freya suddenly walked out of the crowd and shouted to the man: "I want to try."
