Chapter 90 Rebellion against Tiangang
After a brief period of darkness, Wu Chang's eyes lit up again and he found himself in the central area of ​​the town of Briver.

To be precise, he is not in reality now, but has entered into a memory as if watching a scene in resentment.

However, this memory did not come from the resentment of the dead, but from the remnant of the bishop's mental image.

"Special Status: Echoes of the Mind"

"Status description: Enter the target's innermost heart and peek into its most hidden secrets. Explore and destroy the remnants of the mind, causing the target's will to lose control."

Wu Chang didn't expect that the bishop was so good-looking but useless.

Ascetics usually give up worldly pleasures and desires, use simple or even primitive lives to temper themselves, and use the mental and physical hardships they suffer to prove their devotion to their faith.

The harder the practice, the stronger the will and the more devout the faith.

According to common sense, as the representative of ascetics in everyone's mind, the bishop's will and inspiration should be both high.

Who knew that the bishop was not as good as Professor Ebert, and the sum of his two attributes was less than 20% of Wu Chang's, triggering a special state.

Tsk tsk tsk, you are so insincere.

Relying on his rich experience in examining resentment, Wu Chang quickly adapted to the remnants of his mind images.

When he looks at resentment, he usually has two perspectives.

One is a complete third-person perspective, like a fixed camera, watching the entire event happen.

The other method is to repeatedly view the resentment many times, and then, with high inspiration, put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the resentment and switch to the first-person perspective.

The first-person perspective can allow you to feel the feelings of the master of the resentment before his death, and discover some secrets that cannot be discovered from the third-person perspective.

For example, when he entered the Moonlight Sanatorium, he discovered Kington in the corridor by putting himself in the magician's first-person perspective.

The two perspectives of the remnant of the mind and resentment are different.

In the remnant of the mind, he is a completely independent individual who can move and explore freely, and will not be fixed in the body of the host of resentment or in a certain camera position.

He did not integrate into this memory, but joined this memory as an external "intruder".

This feeling was very novel, and taking advantage of the temporary peace in the fragments of his mind image, he explored the town center in the bishop's memory.

Perhaps it was because he had not seen the world with his own eyes for too long, or perhaps his heart was very averse to this memory, the streets in the bishop's memory were extremely different from reality.

The streets that were originally neat and tidy, as if they were copied and pasted from the same model, now have houses of varying heights, thicknesses, and even some that are upside down or floating in the air.

Everything on the street seemed upside down and out of place.

Soon, he heard footsteps coming from all directions.

The way the townspeople moved was similar to the style of the houses in the bishop's memory. They appeared out of nowhere from every corner, like a program with a bug.

Some are running forward, some are running backward, some are standing upside down, some are rolling over, some are crawling with their arms and legs bent backwards...

The townspeople showed their talents and rushed to the square in front of the cathedral.

All the townspeople have one thing in common: they have no faces.

Wu Chang followed the townspeople and came to the square together.

There is a tall bonfire in front of the faceless statue of the Virgin Mary in the square.

Tied to the fire was a dark figure, like a stick figure, all its features obscured by the bishop's memory.

Surrounded by the townspeople, the bishop walked to the fire with his eyes open, one hand on the holy book, the other pointing at the altar, and pronounced loudly:
"In the name of God, I hereby sentence the guilty to be burned at the stake!"

As the bishop pronounced his sentence, his eyelashes turned into barbed wires that sewed his eyes shut tightly.

Upon hearing the bishop's verdict, the townspeople celebrated.

Each of them held a piece of red-hot charcoal in their hands and walked forward one by one to throw it into the fire.

As the flames on the pyre grew stronger, the townspeople screamed and flames engulfed their bodies.

It was as if the black shadow tied to the fire was not a heretic, but themselves.

The moment the flames engulfed the shadows, all the townspeople and the entire town were on fire.

The world was engulfed in flames.

Wu Chang looked around, and the bishop thought that all the flames that appeared in the echo, including the red charcoal in the hands of the townspeople, were actually one emotion. Jealousy.

While the townspeople burned others with the fire of jealousy, they themselves were also consumed by jealousy.

The echo of the mental image ended here, just like the plot in some Japanese movies, the world fell still, and he was the only one who could move.

He already knew what was recorded in the bishop's mental image echoes.

If he guessed correctly, the stick figure tied to the stake was the missing saint he had been looking for.

I have to say that the islanders of Brewery Island really know how to have fun.

Not only did he believe in the Perception Sect, he also arrested the saint who came to the island to preach and tried her as a heretic.

It's the opposite of Tiangang. Where can we seek justice?

He took out a crystal necklace from his personal space. The white crystal pendant at the end of the necklace was floating up, emitting star-like light, pointing to the dark shadow on the stake.

"Item Name: Blessing of the Virgin Mary"

「Item type: Special」

"Item Description: The pendant blessed by the Holy Mother can protect the Holy Maiden from danger. It is the coming-of-age gift bestowed upon the Holy Maiden by the gods. When approaching the Holy Maiden or the Holy Mark, the crystal pendant will react."

This pendant is the mission guidance item he obtained when he accepted the hidden side quest.

During the time he delivered the mail, he traveled to almost all areas of Briver Island, but the crystal pendant did not respond.

Unexpectedly, in the echo of the bishop's mental image, the crystal pendant actually responded.

He can say that he has found the saint he saw in other people’s memories. Is it so easy?
If there was nothing wrong with the bishop's memory, then the real saint should have died long ago. If she were used for compost, the first crop of vegetables should have been ripe by now.

Using props according to memory, will this thing work?

Could it be that the existence of the saint is a concept that does not need to be based on an entity?
Forget it, since the task instructions asked him to do it, he had to give it a try anyway.

He found a standing lamp in the cathedral and used it to sweep away the firewood piled high under the stake.

The stick figure, which was burnt both inside and outside and already overcooked, was dragged out of the flames, and then the "Blessing of the Virgin Mary" was crowned on her head.

When he first received the hidden mission, he tried to wear the necklace, but nothing happened.

The moment the matchstick man touched the necklace, a holy light burst out and broke through the burnt shell on the matchstick man's surface.

Under the charred shell, a girl dressed in white appeared, looking extremely holy at first glance.

Her appearance is so exquisite that she doesn't look like a living person. Even the Madonna in the church oil paintings, which were constantly improved by countless of the world's most outstanding artists, would appear to be eclipsed when placed next to her image.

That stunning beauty reminded Wu Chang of someone, Christiana Yeri.

The girl's body was as white as snow, like the finest porcelain. Leaving any trace of dirt on her would be an unforgivable sin.

But even though she is so perfect, her chest, abdomen and other sensitive parts have very eye-catching fish scales.

Which bastard let her eat the golden flying fish!
Wu Chang was so angry simply because the golden flying fish was addictive. The natives of this plane would become addicted to the fish after eating it and would find it difficult to get rid of it for the rest of their lives.

no other meaning.

The saint turned from a stick figure back into her original form, and the bishop's mental image was shattered.

The chaotic streets disappeared.

After the remnant of the mental image was shattered, Wu Chang did not return to the real world, but came to a different town center area.

Similar to the starting point when entering the remnant of the mind image, this time the town’s architecture returns to reality and is not so confusing.

But the fire spread from the cathedral, turning the entire town center into a sea of ​​fire.

The bishop's eyes, which were sewn shut, were not only connected to the remnants of his mental images, but also to the door to the world of jealousy.

Looking at the flames burning all around him and the townspeople gathering towards him, Wu Chang once again picked up the "postman's delivery bag".

After eating sashimi, I immediately had a barbecue.

If we continue like this, we will have overnutrition.
