Chapter 103: The Vatican Church
Charlie took out a card and inserted it into the slot under the elevator. He immediately saw the floor button panel flipped immediately, and several buttons leading to the top floor appeared. Charlie pressed it and immediately saw the elevator start, heading towards the top, and finally stopped on it.
When I opened it, I saw that this was a reception room decorated with Western classical charm. On both sides were covered with girls in maid outfits. On the wall opposite, there was a blood-red countercross. Below were a few English letters of ventrue, meaning Fanzhuo. Lu Zhiyu had guessed before where the so-called Fanzhuo church came from.
Its name is borrowed from the Thirteen Clans in the novel. Lu Zhiyu himself thought it was just a playful nature, but it seems that it is not entirely the case at present. Lu Zhiyu can feel the fluctuations in the force field emitted above his head, which is a kind of power that he has never seen before, and is different from his mental power.
Seeing Charlie skillfully led by the maid, the two of them changed into black cloaks and walked through a quaint gallery full of oil paintings. The oil paintings on the gallery were all from famous artists, and most of them were scenes about hell and abyss in myths and legends, and many scenes were from Dante's divine songs.
What caught my eye later was a dark and golden world. It was a wide hall, which should be the top of the fragmented building. Only internal personnel were allowed to enter and exit. There was no button on this floor on the elevator, and there was no other staircase entrance that could be directly entered and exited.
The whole building is like a temple, with dark golden cylinders, carved with ancient dark myths and legends. The entire hall reveals a dark and mysterious atmosphere, especially at this moment, everyone is wearing a black cloak like himself, covering their faces in the shadows.
The dark dome is outlined with pictures of angels and gods, but their eyes and mouths all reveal a sense of evil. The name is smile, but it makes people feel a deep creepy. The dull eyes are not gentle or bright, staring at the creatures on the ground, as if sneering.
There are no windows around, and the only few windows are open at the highest point on the four sides of the hall. The sunlight shines in obliquely, which can only illuminate the part, with a hazy and dreamy color, and there is still a darkness below.
The light suddenly lit up and shone on the stage in the center of the hall. I immediately saw a man in a black robe sitting next to the piano. As everyone's eyes projected on him, they began to move. Starting from the gentle fall, the melodious music began to sound.
Lu Zhiyu stopped for a moment and heard that this was the prelude to Croatian Rhapsody. The rhythm was filled with a dark and haze. However, there was a feeling of inspiring anger in the darkness. Lu Zhiyu seemed to have seen the broken walls under the setting sun, as well as the lonely figure, grave, and sadness.
Many people even sang together. In the darkness, a special sacred smell enveloped the entire hall. It was not the sacred light, but as if chanting the dark Bible.
"Century creation, millet or sheep, brothers' tears flow out of the Garden of Eden."
"Exile, forbidden power, Cain's bloodline extends on the earth."
"In the moonlight, there is a faint fishy and sweet fragrance. Who quietly awakens the sleeping tomb?"
“…”
The rhythm gradually became faster and faster, and the fingers on the keys became faster and heavier. The music filled the hall, as if full of pilgrimage. All the people wearing black cloaks gathered slowly, stood under the stage, and looked at the person playing the piano. Everyone was silent. Many people even stretched out their hands to start praying. Each person held a cross in their hands, but it was just a black counter-cross.
The hands passing by the keys are getting faster and faster, and the rhythm is getting more and more intense. Lu Zhiyu can feel that the man on the stage is getting more and more passionate, as if a volcano is about to erupt from his chest, using music to drive the feelings of everyone in the audience, setting the atmosphere so perfectly.
"I want you to dedicate, treasures in your life, the last happiness and glory."
"Once again, indulge in, my arms, share together, and rule over the arrogance of eternal life."
At the end of the end, there was no applause from the audience, but everyone became solemn and solemn. Many people held crosses and drew counter-cross on their chests and prayed to each other.
When he walked down from his seat and stood in front of the stage, Lu Zhiyu saw that this was a young man in his twenties, with a pale face, thin body, handsome and elegant, and full of a noble atmosphere.
"Today we have a few more brothers and sisters. I hope we can always be united. No matter where you come from, from different places and nations, since you have come here, you are one of us. Now, please invite our new brothers and sisters to come to the stage."
Under the guidance of Charlie, Lu Zhiyu walked to the stage, and there were three other people, and there were hundreds of people below the stage. The four of them took off their capes at the same time. Lu Zhiyu, whose faces were exposed, immediately aroused a burst of exclamations from the audience.
Even the young man on the stage said to the Landing Fish: "Oh, it's really a perfect race. You are born to be a member of our Van Zhuo Church. Perfect, beautiful, without a trace of flaw."
Lu Zhiyu nodded slightly and looked at the other three people. Two of them Lu Zhiyu even knew each other, one was a well-known female singer she had seen. Recently, she released a single and dominated the first place on the US Billboard chart.
The other one is an unexpected existence that Lu Zhiyu had. Her first love girlfriend, Xia Yan, Lu Zhiyu was extremely confused. Didn’t she study abroad and pursue further studies in medicine and biology? As Xia Fan said, she also joined a well-known research institution and became an assistant to a laboratory? How could she appear here?
Lu Zhiyu came to his senses and saw the man on the stage chanting a prayer to them, then hung a black counter-cross around their necks, and even after completing the ceremony of the induction, he retreated.
The ceremony seems very simple, but before joining the society, you must get official members of the society to recommend the membership. Then, the Fanzhuo Church will conduct multiple identities reviews and reviews. Those who are not qualified or have problems will never pass the application for joining the society and receive invitations. Logically speaking, Lu Zhiyu cannot be selected to join the Fanzhuo Church.
However, the man in front of him seemed to be very interested in Lu Zhiyu's identity and past. After reading Lu Zhiyu's information, checking Lu Zhiyu's background, and after discovering Lu Zhiyu's problem, he invited Lu Zhiyu to join the Fanzhuo Church.
After the induction ceremony was completed, we finally entered the main film. The long-awaited prayer ceremony of the Vanzhuo Church is held once a month within the church. This mysterious prayer ceremony of the Vanzhuo Church has caused so many celebrities and wealthy people to join them.
In Charlie Andrew's memory, every prayer ceremony will prolong their lifespan, make them younger, stronger and able to cure their diseases. The man in front of him is a living example. His name is Nicholas Debai. He looks like he is only in his early twenties, but in fact he is nearly fifty years old this year. He is the current head of the Debai Group. All this comes from the power of this ritual.
