The red moon returns

Chapter 548 Faith Barrier
The roaring trains are a characteristic of this era and a must-try.

As an important town in the southern part of the Rhine, the railway traffic in Rhine City is quite busy. No matter day or night, every ten minutes or so, a train passes through the city with roar and vibration, leaving only billowing smoke and gray steam.

Even though the whole city was in jubilation, there were still railway workers sweating profusely in the stuffy steam locomotives, driving train after train along the tracks, like the blood pumping from the heart, never stopping.

Not to mention the people who were born and raised here, even Lynch, who had just woken up for a few months, had long been accustomed to this high-frequency vibration, and sometimes even ignored it unconsciously.

But not this time.

Lin Qi stopped laughing, tightened his grip on his cane, lowered his head and said nothing until the train went far away and the whistle and vibration disappeared. Then Lin Qi asked thoughtfully, "After we left just now, did you feel the vibration down there again?"

The archbishop frowned slightly and shook his head gently: "Why, are you still worried about this?"

Lynch nodded, then shook his head.

It was just a slight vibration, which didn't mean anything.

What's more, the Dark Night Church has confirmed its safety several times, and there are top-level strongmen in charge. Expressing doubts again is tantamount to pointing at the Dark Night Goddess and her servants and scolding them as trash. Lynch is a little afraid of being beaten by the old lady again.

"It doesn't matter. You don't need to care about these hypocritical etiquettes between us." The archbishop obviously saw Lin Qi's concerns and said lightly, "Although you are not a believer, you are deeply favored by the Lord. We treat you like one of our own, so there is no need to worry too much."

"I was thinking, with such a high frequency of trains, if the vibration I just felt below was really from a train, then I should be able to sense it every time, right? After all, trains are all the same model and track, so the difference won't be that big. If there is an exception, it should be that I can't feel the vibration, but now it's just the opposite."

The Archbishop nodded and asked, “So?”

Lynch could only smile bitterly, which was why he finally chose to shake his head.

Even if it wasn't the train shaking, it would be easy to find an excuse. Earth's crust shaking, plate migration, building cracks, thermal expansion and contraction, or even someone snoring and turning over, or a bad gas pipe connection. There are all kinds of weird reasons, each more convincing than the other.

"I understand." Archbishop Trinless pondered for a moment and said, "You are right. It is safer to be safe. I will activate the faith barrier, which is the church's ultimate defense measure. No matter what means they use, I can guarantee that as long as the power of the evil god does not come directly, the Shadow Alliance will not be able to break through the defense of the safe house. Even if the power of the evil god really breaks through the outer faith barrier, the other party will have to face the defense capabilities of the safe house itself. I believe this can ensure absolute safety. No one in the entire mortal world can do this."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Lin Qi let out a long sigh and finally felt at ease.

The decisive battle has begun, and there is no room for negligence now. We must be fully prepared. However, since the Dark Night Church has already activated the ultimate defense measures, there should be nothing to be afraid of.

Uh, did I say something outrageous?

As the elevator returned to the bottom floor, the hustle and bustle of the outside world seemed to be isolated in another world. When Lynch and Officer Natalie walked out of the elevator and returned to the safe house, they were greeted by a bright light.

The Heart of Miracle floated in the flames, the lid of the box was open, and a colorless light shone from the empty box.

It is difficult to understand that what is emitted here is "light". It does not have any of the properties that light should have in the mortal world's cognition. It has no source, is not bright, and has no color. It cannot even illuminate anything. But the moment they saw "it", Lynch and Natalie's instinctive consciousness immediately formed a concept.

It was light, pure light.

It is not white, but colorless. That is actually the most brilliant color in the world, but human cognition cannot understand it, and the brain only reflects blankness. It is also the most dazzling ray in the world, but it is a pity that mortals’ shallow cognition cannot understand even a little bit of its brilliance.

But even so, the moment they saw it, both of them gave out the strongest cry from their bodies and souls. That was the Supreme Will, that was the authority that transcended the mortal world.

That is light.

His heart was beating violently, it was the wailing of his keen inspiration in the face of the Supreme. In the inner pocket of his suit, a burning sensation suddenly appeared, getting hotter and hotter, as if something was burning.

what?
Lynch subconsciously touched his chest, and the familiar touch made him immediately realize that this was the reward that Black Cat Count Hathaway had sent him before, the third memory of the Red Moon.

Lynch was startled, and before he could react, his chest began to tremble. The exquisite and ancient statue popped out of his pocket and rushed into the air towards the light. A crimson light sprinkled down from the statue and shone on the light of miracle.

Hiss, it’s going to be bad.

'Neighbor, neighbor, it's not going to seize the divine power inside, is it?'

【Yes】

"Hiss, I remember you said that if I absorbed the divine power, it would only slightly affect the original power, and would not directly plunder the power itself, so it's okay to let it touch it."

[It will only cause the strange objects to collapse. If they are not destroyed, they will re-condense after hundreds of years.]

Shit, you must be kidding me.

Lynch almost jumped up to grab the Red Moon Memories in mid-air, but he reacted immediately.

A few days ago, when he was deeply reading the Light of Miracles, this guy had reminded him not to get close to the power of light. But this guy's reaction now...

'I said, can you give me back the gentle, amiable, kind, sincere, beautiful and generous neighbor I met a few months ago? I miss her.'

[Unfortunately, she has fallen and you will never see her again]

"...Please don't leave me unable to refute this matter." Lin Qi gritted his teeth in his heart, "So what is going on?"

[It is indeed absorbing the divine power inside, but this is a process. Unless the strange object collapses on its own, it will take a long time. You don't have to worry about it. In addition, you don't have to worry about being noticed by others. My memories in this state are beyond the cognition of mortals. I am just a mortal, and I will never be able to peek into my world in my lifetime. ]

"Tsk, you suddenly become more impressive, but you have really learned bad habits."

[Instead of worrying about this trivial matter, it is better to focus on more important issues. ]

'Um? '

[Do you know what it means that they can't see my wonder? It means that after you left the elevator, you stood in front of everyone in a daze for a minute for no reason, and your expression was a little too exaggerated.]

'...'
