Life Dungeon Game

Although it's terrible, everyone is trying to live.

If you are too dirty, you may be driven away or even attacked by armed security guards if you enter a busy area.

However, this is near Storm Tower, the most chaotic part of the city, so even if Lena makes her appearance a little dirty and messy, it won't arouse too much suspicion.

Lena glanced at the clothes of the little boy behind her with his eyes closed.

She also tried to cover He Ao up a bit, but not much, because He Ao had already been through a fierce battle, his clothes were torn, and he had dried blood scabs on his body.

All she had to do was cover up the obvious wounds and scabs, and disguise Heo as a normal neighborhood 'resident'.

This wasn't difficult for Lena, even though she hadn't been back for a long time; this was still the place where she grew up.

She knew very well what the people here should be like.

Judging from the surrounding passersby, the situation here now seems to be worse than when she was here before.

Because of the urgency, her 'disguise' was very simple. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem, but upon closer inspection, bloodstains could be found on both of them.

However, this is not a big deal. For most people in the storm zone who are struggling to make ends meet, they rarely have the time or inclination to care about the condition of a stranger.

After confirming that her disguise was working properly, Lena blended into the crowd and entered the shed church.

She was beginning to understand why He Ao had directed her here; sometimes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

However, she was still somewhat unsure whether she could evade the pursuit of the Eternal Secret Cult.

Both she and He Ao are currently severely injured. If they are discovered by the Eternal Secret Cult, it could...

I fear the odds are against me.

Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, her expression remained unchanged, and her gaze 'naturally' swept over the scene before her.

The floor inside the church was a patch of cracked cement. It seemed that this place was originally a small, dilapidated square that had been fenced off and turned into a 'church' at some point.

On these cement floors, small plastic stools are arranged in a row.

These round stools are not very big, most of them are faded, and their load-bearing capacity is very poor; they can easily break if you sit on them carelessly.

This is something you can't see in the cloud zone, but it's common in the storm zone.

On each of the rusty iron walls on either side of the church, a line of words was written in red paint.

On the left wall is written, 'The eternal light guides us to the most beautiful divine kingdom.'

The sign on the right-hand wall reads, "Damaged stools will be charged for."

At the deepest part of the church, there is a round, concrete-cast pulpit, which is probably where the clergy of the Eternal Secret Church stand.

Behind the podium to the right is a small metal door that was cut out of the metal wall, and a certain light gleams faintly behind the door.

The streetlights near Storm Tower are impossible to turn on; even the streetlights themselves have been dismantled and sold for money by people in the neighborhood.

The light behind the door indicates that there is another area behind the door.

That should be the area where the clergy of the Eternal Esoteric School stay.

Lena didn't have time to survey the entire church from the outside; she could only observe the interior and mentally deduce its possible structure.

While observing the church, she was also moving quickly forward with the crowd.

Compared to the magnificent Eternal Secret Church that she and He Ao had visited the previous night, this church seemed somewhat 'unsatisfactory'.

At this moment, many people have gradually taken up their seats on the closely packed small round stools in the church.

Not far in front of Lena, an elderly man, somewhat thin, wearing a plastic badge of light on his chest and a loose robe, was gesturing to guide people to different areas.

Lena lowered her head and continued forward with the crowd.

Soon, she passed the old man, who didn't seem to pay attention to who was in the crowd, but continued to point the way.

She slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but almost the instant she did, a slightly hoarse but very soft voice came from behind her, "Fellow believer."

Her body stiffened slightly, countless options flashing through her mind, but her expression remained unchanged. She turned to the old man and asked softly in a somewhat cold voice, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Who is this."

The old woman slowly raised her hand and pointed to the boy on her back, her voice still very soft.

"This is my younger brother."

Lena spoke slowly, with a hint of wariness.

This is a perfectly normal way to deal with strangers near Storm Tower.

No one knows whether someone who suddenly comes over to greet you warmly might suddenly turn into a vicious robber.

"He seems to be feeling unwell?"

The old man glanced at the boy on Lena's back, slowly raised his hand, and pointed to a spot in the corner of the church. "It's warmer over there, as there's no draft there."

During the brief pause

Lena nodded gently, "Thank you."

She slowly turned around and walked in the direction the old man pointed.

After confirming that there was no draft and it was warmer, she slowly sat down.

She put the unconscious He Ao down on the stool, and then let the little boy rest his head on her lap.

She glanced at the tear in her stockings and the exposed white skin beneath, then slowly pulled down the edge of the stockings to cover the exposed skin.

Actually, her skin wasn't originally this fair and radiant. As a homeless child who crawled out of the mud from a young age and even had trouble getting food, she basically didn't get any nutritional supplements, so her skin condition couldn't possibly be good.

The changes in her body were entirely due to her accidental ascension to the status of a superhuman, whose extraordinary power reshaped her body.

Once she was fully settled, she turned her head and glanced at the noisy crowd around her.

People entering the church all carried some kind of smell, some of it was the smell of cigarettes, some of alcohol, and some even had a strong smell of excessive drug use.

These mixed smells mingled together in the simple church, masking the bloodstains on the two men.

She snapped out of her daze and glanced around.

Those sitting near her were mostly people who were dressed in thin clothes or looked rather frail.

It seems they were also guided here by that old man.

For a house that's drafty on every side on a snowy night, not having drafts is definitely a good thing.

Lena herself may indeed want to find a warmer spot, because Heo doesn't seem to be in very good shape.

She looked down at the wounds on her body.

The wounds had already stopped bleeding and were much smaller than before.

This is a physical change brought about by the promotion. The 'Warrior' elixir is reshaping her body and accelerating the healing of her wounds.

She estimated that if she stayed here a little longer, her injuries would heal considerably, and she would regain some of her strength. At that time, she could try to find a weak point in the Eternal Secret Sect's defenses to break through.

The church was getting more and more crowded.

As the number of voices increased, the chill in the surroundings decreased considerably.

More and more people sat around Lena, her face calm and her attitude aloof, and no one bothered her.

Just as most of the people had entered, the old man in the robe walked over. He spoke quietly with a middle-aged woman sitting a row or two behind Lena. Then the middle-aged woman nodded, slowly stood up, and walked to an empty seat not far away.

The old man spoke in a low voice, but Lena heard him clearly; he was switching seats with the middle-aged woman.

After the middle-aged woman left, the old man sat down in that spot.

He didn't turn to look at Lena, but instead looked up at the podium, as if he simply liked the position.

Lena glanced at the old man discreetly.

She felt no threat from the old man; judging from his actions, he seemed like a simple, ordinary person.

Soon, as the church seats filled, a man in a white robe emerged from behind a small door deep inside the church, holding a book in his hand.

The thick books, gleaming with a faint glow, were brought to the church pulpit.

"Silence! Silence!"

He slightly raised his hand, his voice not loud, yet it reached everyone's ears without any obstruction, "Welcome, brothers and sisters, to this place to listen to the teachings of the eternal light."

This must be some kind of extraordinary object, or ritual power.

Lena glanced at the man on the podium.

The opponent's power was very well concealed, and she could not assess their true strength.

"Before I begin today's sharing, I'm happy to share some good news with you all,"

The man held the classic text in his hand, saying, “We have received a revelation from the eternal light that we will choose one of our brothers and sisters to go to God’s Kingdom to enjoy bliss. From then on, he will no longer have to suffer in the human world and will enjoy his endless years in the eternal Kingdom of God, where he possesses everything!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire church erupted like boiling soup, with a cacophony of noise filling every crevice in an instant.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The man in white raised his hand again, this time with an undeniable air of authority in his voice, and the entire hall fell silent in an instant.

A kind of supernatural power with a 'bewitching' quality.

Lena pondered to herself.

"I will announce the name of this 'lucky one' who is blessed by the gods after this sharing session concludes,"

A smile played on the man's lips, seemingly genuinely happy for the person who had been 'chosen.' After confirming that everyone's attention was once again on him, he opened the book in his hands and continued speaking.

"Today, we will tell the story of the eternal kingdom of God."

"The Eternal Kingdom is the realm of eternal light, the end of everything in the universe. When this chaotic universe finally comes to destruction, the eternal light will reshape this world, creating a more stable and orderly universe."

"At the same time, his divine kingdom will cover the new universe, and life created in this new universe will live in his eternal divine kingdom."

"The eternal light loves His people in the new universe, so that His people may live in the eternal Kingdom of God, never aging or dying, never hungry, and without any worries."

"However, life in the old universe was not created by the great eternal light, and we were not born as children of the eternal light. Theoretically, we should perish along with the destruction of the old universe."

"But the eternal light is loving; He loves all life equally, so He gave us an opportunity to enter His immortal, eternal divine kingdom, even though we are from the old universe."

"As long as we sincerely believe in Him and praise Him, we can enter His Kingdom after death, become His people, and obtain eternal life that leads directly to the new universe."

Are you still afraid of the cold wind, afraid of hunger, afraid of those terrifying violent bandits?

"In that great and eternal kingdom of God, all of this will cease to exist. We will have no hunger, no pain. Things that may have only existed in our dreams are now within our reach!"
