……

Dozens of identities were presented one by one. When Lin Yi saw the beggar at the bottom, he couldn't help feeling speechless.

This random shithole at the entry point is really funny.

Lin Yi directly gave up the top identities, the primary reason being that he did not have enough merit.

If he had enough merits, Lin Yi would be able to directly enter the Holy See and gain access to the most core secrets of this world.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. This time, only Lin Yi has entered the world, and the battle for world merit cannot be started at all. Even if Lin Yi wants to exchange these identities, he has no way to do so.

Then, Lin Yi pulled the options to the relevant options of several churches below.

As for the Church of the Kneeling Ones, after Lin Yi read its relevant requirements, he simply abandoned it.

The Church of the Kneeling Ones requires its members to have their feet tied with iron chains, their hands handcuffed behind their backs, and a huge iron ball hung in front of their chests.

Lin Yi didn't want to torture himself like this, so he decisively chose to give up.

Then, Lin Yi turned his attention to the option of the Licker Church.

Lin Yi discovered that this church was a healing church that was specifically responsible for treating all patients.

Originally, Lin Yi wanted to join this church. However, after seeing the unique treatment methods of this church, Lin Yi chose to give up without hesitation on the spot.

The Church of the Lickers, as its name suggests, consists of members who use their tongues to lick the bodies of patients, believing that this can help eliminate physical pain.

The most important thing is that this method, which sounds incredible, is actually real and effective.

Because the founder of the Licker Church cured patients by licking them with his tongue, the believers followed suit and cured patients in this way.

Lin Yi really couldn't accept this kind of treatment, so he finally chose to be a member of the silent mourning association.

The Congregation for the Mourning had suffered brutal persecution from the Painful Vatican some time ago. Its members were massacred, and the remaining members began to hide their identities.

In this case, even if Lin Yi was a member of the silent mourning association, no one would notice anything unusual.

[You have exchanged for the identity of the Silent Mourning Association. ]

The Silent Mourning Association: Believe in the ancient god, the Holy Father of Truth, and observe the precepts of silence in daily life, treating others with silence.

Tip: Hunters can violate this commandment.

[The identity selection is completed, and the hunter is about to be integrated into the native world. 】

[Tip: It was found that the hunter did not master the language of this world, and has mastered it automatically for free. ]

Lin Yi's eyes suddenly blurred and his body suddenly felt lighter. He had experienced three teleportations today.

When Lin Yi woke up this time, he found himself in a small border town.

In this small town, Lin Yi noticed that there were very few pedestrians on the street.

All wore black veils or other coverings on their faces.

After seeing that Lin Yi had no protective measures on his face, the faces of these passers-by changed instantly and they hurriedly avoided Lin Yi.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi remembered the plague that was introduced in the world background before.

It seems that this border town has also been attacked by the plague, otherwise the pedestrians here would not have such a violent reaction.

[Tip: The Hunter has activated the main quest.]

Lin Yi glanced at the surrounding environment, then found a narrow alley and walked in quickly.

After entering the alley, a strong and pungent stench rushed into Lin Yi's nasal cavity.

Lin Yi couldn't help but frowned and took out a special bird-beak mask from his personal space.

This bird-beak mask is a gas mask made by an idle worker in the Samsara Paradise. In the current environment, this mask is the most appropriate.

After putting on the bird-beak mask, Lin Yi finally felt the foul smell in his nasal cavity gradually dissipating.

At this time, Lin Yi raised his head and looked carefully at the surrounding environment.

In this eerie and dark alley, a group of wanderers infected with the plague huddled in every corner.

Their bodies were eaten away by the disease and their faces were distorted beyond recognition.

The air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of herbs and a faint scent of blood, intertwined with the smell of death emanating from them.

These vagrants were once marginalized people in the city, but now they have become completely forgotten.

Mild coughs and groans were heard one after another.

Their clothes were tattered and covered with traces of disease, becoming a medium for the spread of the plague.

Everyone’s life is counting down. Their faces are covered with large dark spots and their eyes have lost their former luster, leaving only endless emptiness.

Occasionally, people wearing tight protective robes would pass by in a hurry. Their steps were as quick as the wind, and they seemed eager to escape from this terrible place of death.

In this cold and damp corner, there is not a single hope, not a single future, only quiet waiting for the ruthless arrival of death.

In the distance, the bells of the bell tower rang slowly, and each heavy knock seemed to be a sad farewell to these lives that were about to disappear.

Deep in the alley, some closed doors stand out.

The red or black cross marks on these doors are particularly eye-catching.

The red cross looks like blood that has not yet dried, while the black one looks like it has been deeply stained with thick ink.

From behind the red gate, one could occasionally hear faint coughs and miserable wails.

But behind the black door, there was a deathly silence. Lin Yi listened for a long while, but no sound came.

Apparently, the red mark means that someone in the family is suffering from the plague.

The black mark indicates that all members of this family have died of the plague.

At this moment, Lin Yi saw two soldiers in heavy armor slowly emerging from the entrance of the alley.

Lin Yi hurriedly covered his entire body with the power of shadow to conceal his own breath.

The patients around him did not pay any attention to Lin Yi. They were all leaning against the wall and wailing.

Lin Yi saw that sometimes when the patient's arms or feet touched the armor of these two soldiers, these two soldiers would draw the cross swords hanging from their waists without hesitation and brutally kill the patients who had defiled their armor.

In the eyes of these two soldiers, these patients were no longer human beings.

"Damn you! I asked the bishop to bless this armor with holy water yesterday. How dare you touch it with your dirty hands?"

One of the soldiers seemed to be still unsatisfied after killing the patient in front of him, and chopped the patient into meat paste.

"Okay, let's go quickly. After patrolling here, there is another alley to patrol. There are more and more people suffering from the plague now, and I don't know when the church will reopen. I don't want to stay in this dirty and filthy world outside anymore."

Another soldier used his palm to gently fan away the unpleasant smell. Although this armor was blessed with an automatic cleaning function, the soldier still felt an unpleasant smell in his nose.

"Let's go. We should really throw all these patients into the Licker Church. They are all pagans anyway. They deserve to die."

"Okay, calm down. If it weren't for those Lickers, there wouldn't be many people left alive in this town. Let's go. I don't want to stay here any longer."

Just like that, the two hurriedly walked past Lin Yi and left the alley. Lin Yi also learned some key information from them.

Back on the road again, Lin Yi stood on the edge of the road and observed carefully for a while, and found that people here still used metal currency, and most of the transactions used copper and silver coins.

However, Lin Yi noticed that these merchants had gold coins in their pockets. It seemed that the value of these gold coins should be very high and would not be used easily.

After sorting out the currency price, Lin Yi took out a gold ring from his pocket and came to a stall selling vegetables.

"Guest, what dishes would you like to buy?"

"I'm not going to buy any food. I want to ask you something."

Hearing that Lin Yi was not here to buy vegetables, the boss's eyes suddenly showed a hint of impatience.

However, when the boss saw the gold ring in Lin Yi's hand, a hint of fanaticism suddenly appeared in his eyes.

You know, the value of gold is much higher than that of silver. Just this ring is enough to equal the vegetables he sells for two weeks.

"You said it, you said it."

The vegetable stall owner snatched the gold ring from Lin Yi's hand, exhaled, and wiped it carefully. After confirming that it was really a gold ring, a flattering look immediately appeared on the stall owner's face.

"Where is the Church of the Lickers?"

"Those guys, well, if you want to find them, just keep going along this road. After passing two intersections, you will see a building with a big clock. That's it. But you don't have to go there now. The Licker Church is overcrowded and they don't have any extra space to accommodate other patients."

When the boss heard Lin Yi's question, he thought that there was a patient with the plague in Lin Yi's home.

This is also the reason why everyone has not fled here even though the plague is raging in the town. It is because of the existence of the Licker Church here, which gives everyone a glimmer of hope.

If we escape to other places, it is still unclear whether the plague can be cured.

"Take these two apples. Give them to the patient when you get back. He will feel better."

The boss sighed and took out two green apples from under the stall.

You know, fruit is a very luxurious thing in this world.

Lin Yi observed the street for a long time but did not find any stalls selling fruits.

"Thank you."

"Oh, no need to thank me. I don't know how long this world will last. I won't sell any more after I sell these. I'll keep some for the time being and hide them at home. I hope I can get through this."

The boss sighed and glanced in the direction of the Church of Pain.

Originally, the boss was also a loyal believer of the Church of Pain, but what the Church has done in recent years is so absurd that the vegetable stall owner is no longer willing to believe in the distorted Holy Father.

However, the boss only dared to think about this kind of thing secretly in his heart. If he really said it out loud, he was afraid that the Temple Army would take him away in the next second.

You have to know that the punishment for pagans in this world is extremely harsh, and it can be said to be extremely cruel.

The vegetable stall owner doesn't want to be hung on a flagpole in the sun for two months. Now those pagans promoted by the Vatican are still hanging there, and they have dried up into mummies.

At this time, who dares to resist?

After saying goodbye to the vegetable stall owner, Lin Yi strode forward along the street and soon arrived at the location of the Licker Church mentioned by the vegetable stall owner.

Coming here, Lin Yi finally discovered that overcrowded was not just a simple adjective, but it was truly overcrowded.

I saw a group of wailing patients crowded next to the building.

As for why they didn't go inside the building, the reason was simple: the building was already packed with people.

The words "shoulder to shoulder" and "sea of ​​people" are extremely appropriate for the current scene.

After Lin Yi walked in, he found that there was no place to stand. All the spaces were blocked by patients.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about how to enter the building, a cultist wearing a pointed hood appeared in front of Lin Yi.

"Nice to meet you, fellow believer of the Order of Silence. I am Hetty, the bishop of the Licker Church." Hetty's voice came from under the hood, sounding a little tired.

After Hetty glanced at the patients around her who were wailing in pain, her eyes were full of compassion. She then raised her hand slightly to Lin Yi, signaling him to talk somewhere farther away.

The two of them came to a corner a little further away, and Heidi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the church is full of patients now, and it's crowded everywhere. There is no place to stay. Please understand."
