Looking at the customers coming into the store, Reimu Furude was a little absent-minded. Since Huang Quan appeared in the human world, the island country seemed to have changed a little, but it seemed that there was no change.
Yamanashi and Shizuoka were completely destroyed, with no possibility of repair, so they could only be demolished and rebuilt, which turned the people living there into refugees.
But what about becoming a refugee? At least he saved his life and was not assimilated along with the vengeful ghosts and then sucked into Yomi Hirasaka.
The Blood Sea Skeleton gave a great shock to the people of the entire island. No, it even shocked the people of the whole world. After all, the appearance of Yomi Hirasaka directly and blatantly revealed some information.
Hell... exists!
So do the punishments after death mentioned in those myths really exist?
Whether it is the eighteen levels of hell or the weight of Anubis' feather, these are the afterlife in mythology, and there is also the punishment of judging sinners.
Before these myths appeared, there was a saying that some can be believed, some cannot be believed, and now these hells of punishment after death have really appeared!
The surging sea of blood and the endless mountain of corpses seemed to demonstrate the existence of eternal punishment.
Although it was only a short period of time, it still made everyone who figured out the matter break out in a cold sweat. No one is perfect.
As a result, some changes have taken place in society. Crime has decreased, and the number of good people and good deeds has actually increased.
Even an old lady who fell to the ground was helped up by people, and the old lady who was helped up sincerely thanked those kind-hearted people.
This was something that people dared not even think about in the previous society. Standing by and watching was already the norm, and everyone was afraid of being blackmailed by those old immortals.
From this perspective, Huang Quan’s appearance seems to be a good thing?
Reimu Furude thought silently that society was indeed getting better, and even the number of people committing suicide had begun to decrease. After all, mythology also mentioned that giving up the life that one should have had was also a sin.
"Miss, your strawberry sundae."
The waiter next to her suddenly interrupted Reimu Furude's thoughts and brought her a strawberry sundae.
"Okay, thank you!" Furude Reimu showed a smile that could make people blush and their hearts beat faster. The waiter indeed ran away in panic with a red face. If he didn't leave, he would probably make a fool of himself.
Although it was a bit strange to eat a sundae in early spring, there was heating in the store so it was not cold. Moreover, Reimu Furude, who was no longer a human, was indeed not afraid of the cold.
After taking a bite of the icy and sweet strawberry sundae and feeling the coolness going down her throat into her stomach, Reimu Furude showed a happy smile on her face.
This is much happier than being a shrine maiden.
There didn't seem to be any changes at the Sengen Taisha Shrine. Furude Reimu once went back to see it, now that it had a new look. She was a little worried about her former companions at the shrine.
But the shrine was restored better than she had imagined, and although there were problems with the festival, it did not affect the status of the shrine itself.
Even the appearance of Yomihirasaka adds a layer of mystery to the shrine. After all, Yamanashi and Shizuoka were completely destroyed, and only the city around the shrine remained.
But for some reason, the bureaucrats who were originally strongly opposed by the chief priest were now chatting with the priests openly.
In addition, some policemen in formal attire also surrounded the miraculous cherry tree. People can worship it, but cannot view it up close. In other words, they can only view it from a distance and not get up close.
Furude Reimu originally wanted to see the changes in the cherry trees from a close distance, but was stopped at the periphery and had to give up.
Seeing that the shrine where she once worked was not criticized, Furude Reimu breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was no longer here, her heart was still with it.
After all, it is the place where she was raised.
If the shrine is in danger of survival, she will let the shrine survive even if it means giving up all her dignity and paying all her own value.
But now it seems that there is no need for that, the shrine is very good and she doesn't need to worry at all.
Moreover, Reimu Furude also decided to visit the Sengen Taisha Shrine every month.
It is both a thank you and an observation.
The shrine can negotiate with the government and cooperate for development, which is what Furude Reimu is happy to see. In this way, the shrine will have an official background and be safe.
"Hmm~" After eating the last bite of the sundae in the spoon, Furude Reimu shuddered, exhaled a breath of cool air, and felt comfortable all over.
"Ok?"
After paying the money, Reimu Furude, who had just walked out of the store, suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation, as if reminding her of something.
"Oh, forget it. We've had enough fun anyway. Let's just go back."
Furushe Reimu sighed helplessly. This was Takesora reminding her that it was time to go back.
Looking around, she saw a public toilet in front of her on the left, and walked towards it with her hands in her pockets.
Although going back through the toilet may sound a bit strange, and it is actually strange to say, it is indeed the most convenient way.
Reimu Furude walked into the bathroom and saw that there was no one inside, so she casually opened a toilet cubicle. In an instant, the surrounding colors deepened and turned into blocks of color.
With a loud crash, pieces of things fell down around her like shattered glass, and Furude Reimu returned to the quaint bookstore. Takesora was lazily taking a nap while holding the white cat.
"Tsk, it's nothing, why are you so anxious to see me?" Although she didn't have any emotions in her heart, Furushe Reimu didn't want to let Takesora go just like that.
Although I didn't feel anything wrong, I just said I didn't agree.
"Stop it, there are guests coming." Zhukong said lazily without opening his eyes, "It's up to you to receive the guests this time, Reimu-chan~"
"Eh~ What the hell is Reimu-chan!?"
"Um, may I ask where is this place and why am I here?" Suddenly a voice sounded from behind Furude Reimu, and it sounded like a little girl.
Hearing this voice, Furude Reimu quickly put on a gentle smile, turned around and responded in a sweet voice.
"Welcome~Would you like your wish to come true?"
Chapter 248 Healing
The scene in the basement was far beyond Arthur and Melina's imagination. They could never have imagined that there was a living person imprisoned in the basement and there were two or three corpses in the corner.
Those corpses were completely mummified without a trace of moisture. They had been dead for some time and even the stench of corpses was not very noticeable.
But fortunately, there was still someone alive, but this living person seemed to have suffered inhuman abuse. The moment Arthur saw it, he hurried forward and tore off the chains.
Without the key, the shackles on the forearms could not be broken by brute force, and might even hurt the poor man.
"Melina, you take care of this lady, I'll go find the keys!"
Arthur helped the young woman who had been freed from her restraints to sit on a chair nearby, and then asked Melina to take care of the woman while he went upstairs to look for the key.
If nothing goes wrong, the key is most likely on the dark creature above.
"Okay." Melina hurried over and supported the young woman who was covered in injuries.
Arthur hurriedly climbed up the ladder, leaving only Melina and another woman in the basement.
"Excuse me, are you here to rescue me?"
The woman's voice was hoarse, and she looked very haggard, with a pale face.
"It's okay, have a good rest, you are safe." Melina responded softly, and at the same time, a surge of anger inevitably emerged in her heart. Imprisonment was happening right under the nose of their church!
When the young woman heard this, her long-tense spirit suddenly slowed down, endless fatigue swept over her, and she fainted.
Melina's heart tightened when she saw this scene, but when she saw the other person's chest still rising and falling, she felt a little relieved, but the sadness that followed filled her heart again.
As a woman, she could better feel the harm suffered by the woman in her arms, and her empathy allowed her to put herself in her shoes and grieve for her.
"May God bless you..."
Praying softly for the woman in her arms, the feather bracelet on Melina's right hand suddenly lit up with a faint white light.
The light was not bright, but it was so warm, like a warm breeze blowing gently, smoothing out the scars on the young woman's body.
Melina, who did not close her eyes to pray this time, saw this scene clearly and couldn't help feeling happy.
Melina kept chanting prayers, sensing the holy light in the bracelet and quickly guided it to emerge from the bracelet. In an instant, a platinum light shone brightly.
This light was different from Arthur's golden light. It was not dazzling at all, nor did it ignite white flames. Instead, it made the dense scars on the young woman's body begin to heal.
Color gradually appeared on the pale and weak face, and the frown on his brows gradually relaxed. As if he had dreamed of good things, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Huh, that's good!" Melina breathed a sigh of relief as she felt the woman's body had fully recovered. At this moment, Arthur also came down.
He held a small key in his hand.
"That guy is damned, he actually hid the key in the safe."
Arthur walked up to Melina and muttered angrily, but he did not stop. Instead, he squatted down and opened the shackles that bound the woman.
"Wait, what is this...?" After opening the shackles, Arthur noticed that all the scars on the woman's body had disappeared, and even her complexion had looked much better.
"Shh! I did this, go up first."
Melina whispered, clearing Arthur's doubts, and then Arthur picked up the woman and walked towards the exit.
To get out, they needed to climb a ladder, but Arthur, who was holding the woman, obviously couldn't climb the ladder at a 90-degree angle with just his feet. He bent his legs slightly and then jumped suddenly.
Arthur jumped up directly like a kitten landing, and with his legs bent he absorbed most of the impact. Melina, who followed behind him, could only climb the ladder obediently because her body was not capable of jumping several meters high.
"Melina, go and call the church members who are lying in ambush nearby to come and help. I'll wait for you here and keep an eye on that guy." After saying that, Arthur looked at Iler, who was covered in burns, with disgust, without any mercy in his eyes.
If he didn't need more information about the dark creatures, he would have wanted to burn the other person to death. Such an evil person didn't deserve to live in this world.
Sometimes we have to admit that the death penalty is really necessary.
"I understand."
Melina didn't hesitate, she turned and ran out of the house, waving and calling out to her fellow church members who were lying in ambush nearby.
These church companions either carried holy vessels and holy water or clubs and guns.
Anyway, it is either salvation by holy light or physical salvation.
But when they saw that the person coming out was Melina, these believers put away their weapons and crawled out of various sinister ambush points harmlessly.
After Melina hurriedly gathered her church companions, she asked them to take out the holy water ropes that had been prepared long ago and tie up the unconscious Iler.
Another group of people were sent to take the young woman to the hospital for examination. Although her injuries had been cured, she was not sure that she was completely fine. She would only be relieved after the hospital examination.
By the way, let's look for the family of this young woman. She has been missing for so long, her family must be very worried.
She and Arthur took the tied up dark creature back to the church. The church had its own car, so they took it directly back without worrying about scaring passers-by.
Finally, a group of people stayed behind with the holy objects to search the house carefully, identify the corpse in the corner of the basement, and look for suspicious items.
By the way, you can also inform those residents who have left to come back and that things here are over.
A moment later, Melina, who had arranged everything, got on the car with Arthur to return to the church. Iler was tied up in the back seat and was still unconscious.
The stars in the sky gradually lit up the night sky as the night deepened.
Iler felt that he had a dream, an extremely painful dream, in which he was a sinner tied to a stake and burned at the stake.
The ferocious flames devoured his body. Since he was a vampire, he could not die so easily. Therefore, he could only suffer endless torment under the raging flames.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Yile woke up suddenly and realized that he was just dreaming. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but what he saw was an unfamiliar room and a group of people watching him.
Seeing everyone's disgusted eyes, Yile broke out in a cold sweat. Was he discovered?
I was about to move, but the rope that was digging into my flesh caused a sharp pain and I couldn't use any strength at all.
"What are you doing! You are illegally detaining me. I will sue you!"
Although it was still unclear what had happened, Iler pretended not to know in order to obtain information.
But no matter how he shouted, the people in front of him remained silent, and the disgust in their eyes became even stronger.
After a while, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yile had to stop his clown-like behavior.
"Arthur stays here, Melina you go out with the female bishops."
"The Patriarch?"
"It's okay. Since we have confirmed that he is the one who deserves to die, we don't need to be polite to him. Let's use some tricks to get the information we want." Patriarch Danny said.
Seeing how serious the Patriarch was, Melina and several female bishops said nothing, but quietly left the room and closed the door.
"Okay, let's talk now, Arthur." Patriarch Danny looked at Iler who was tied to the chair and shouted coldly.
Arthur walked forward with a frosty face, and a cluster of white flames emerged from his fingers.
"Don't come over!!!"
Chapter 249 Learning
"Your name is Wayne, right?"
After leaving that room, Melina found Wayne in the holding cell.
