Looking at the strong body in front of him, who is not so much a clergy as a priest, Su Hao also smiled: "We all have our own abilities. Especially in terms of communication with the Emperor's gloriousness, I am obviously not as good as you. Although Konoha Town is located in a remote place, we still enjoy the protection from the Emperor, right?"

When Su Hao's words involved the "emperor", the priest's face suddenly showed a serious and serious expression. He kept nodding: "Yes, the emperor guides us toward the light. Only by soaring the wings of the flames in the early morning sky can you understand the war eagle. Only by scribing death to the enemy with a roar of rage can you understand the true meaning of anger. Only by devouring everything blocking the road ahead with the fire of destruction can you understand the power of the fire dragon. But only by walking through all these paths and then looking back can you truly understand the greatness of the emperor. He is our shelter, guide, and the only god in the world."

For some reason, when this passage was spoken from the priest, Su Hao always felt that the priest seemed to release a glimmer of light that was invisible to the naked eye. It might not be a substantial thing, maybe it was just Su Hao's own sensory error, but there was always a moment when Su Hao really felt the weak power.

A similar situation, when Team 22 went out and encountered werewolf in the snow-logged wooden house, Su Hao had experienced it.

At that time, he heard Kenson and others shouting slogans such as "For the Emperor" and "The Light is with Me". Although the sound was not very loud, these mercenaries had no warning and suddenly increased their weak power.

Su Hao's feelings are not wrong, and the release of his mind consciousness also detects the same energy position. That situation is like a drowning person who suddenly gains some kind of strength and has a few more seconds of time to struggle in the water. Although it cannot have any effect on changing the dilemma, it is undeniable that the weak increase in power does exist, especially in battle, which may become a subtle factor in changing the situation.

Afterwards, Su Hao asked Kenson about this question and searched repeatedly in the blood of Kenson and others. The answer was completely beyond Su Hao's expectations. Whether Kenson's answer or cellular memory, it showed content like "We believe in the emperor".

It was also from that time that Su Hao began to become interested in the religion of the Third World.

“I need your help, too.”

Su Hao smiled and said to the priest: "There is no bookstore in Konoha Town, which is probably the most regrettable problem away from the civilized world. If possible, I would like to borrow a Gospel from you."

The priest's gray eyebrows were slightly shaking. He stared at Su Hao, his eyes full of admiration: "Can you ask, why do you want this?"

Su Hao's answer was honest: "I don't understand what faith is. I want to understand and want to find the answer from the book."

"Faith is the Emperor himself. He will transform into a beam of light when you are most desperate and helpless, illuminate the dark realm that lingers you."

The priest explained seriously: "Books are just a channel of communication, and literal things are difficult to truly understand. I am responsible for preaching here, but I am actually very clear about how many true believers are. The emperor is the only master, and many things that stay on the surface often evolve into obstacles that block the line of sight. Without faith, human beings will lose their direction. Without good thoughts, we will fall into the abyss of darkness. The difference between light and darkness is just a line, and change is the true eternal existence. They will become us, and we will become them. We need faith and need to find the light that guides our souls for the confused mind."

Su Hao was slightly stunned.

His eyes passed over the priest and saw the statue behind the priest, which was erected on the central wall of the church hall. It was a man wearing heavy golden armor, majestic and strict, and full of power in every part of his body. He held a sharp sword in his right hand and a large-caliber gun-like weapon in his left hand. The whole statue looked down from top to bottom. Although he knew it was just an ordinary decoration without vitality, Su Hao still saw kindness and ferocity, mercy and cruelty on the face of the statue.

These are two completely opposite things, but they are fully reflected in the same man. The integration is so perfect that it is impeccable, and it finally forms a speechless force that is enough to shock the soul.

For some reason, Su Hao saw a trace of familiarity on the statue. It was the statue of the emperor, with a clear expression of another person. He was far away from him, Su Hao was completely unfamiliar with him, and he also had a very gentle warmth.

When the priest saw all this, he smiled, his eyes full of wisdom to understand the world. The priest turned around, walked to the cabinet on the side of the podium, took out a "God" with a worn cover and slightly wrinkled corners from the drawer, and handed it to Su Hao. At this moment, the priest's expression was extremely solemn and full of relief.

"The Emperor is with us. Believe in your eyes, believe in your soul, believe in every choice you make. That light exists deep in our minds. It has never been far away from us, but we have never found it, nor have we noticed its traces."

Seth returned to town.

He walked back from the snow field alone. He was staggering and covered in dirt. He looked like he had fallen from a sled and fell into a dirty puddle.

The soldiers guarding the city gate had already changed shifts, and the soldiers had already explained to the higher authorities when they left late at night. Therefore, Seth stood in front of the city gate, which caused a surprise.

"Aren't you leaving? Why are you back?"

"I left so in a hurry last night. I would have known it would have been better to stay at home and have a warm sleep. By the way, Seth, where is your dog? And sled?"

"Is there something unexpected happening?"

There were all kinds of remarks and speculations, but Seth was cold and silent. His eyes were dull, and he shook his head at the guards, and nodded. No one knew what such a move meant. But no matter what, Seth was still a human being after all, and belonged to the residents of Konoha Town. Although the simple inquiry was not answered, the guards still let the road go and let Seth enter.

Seth walked all the way back to his house.

Along the way, many people saw him. Various eyes gathered behind Seth, and mixed discussions came from around him. The content was nothing more than Seth's character or the misfortunes that Seth had encountered before. In short, there were no words of kindness, either full of contempt and sarcasm, or hatred and indifference. Seth turned a deaf ear to this, but just moved his steps mechanically. Several naughty children were running back and forth between Seth, and from time to time they grabbed snowballs from the ground, threw them over, smashing Seth's face and body with snowballs.

As soon as he walked into the room, Seth immediately closed the door and locked it. After confirming that no one was following him and there was no lurker in the room, Seth slowly walked into the inner room and no movement was made.

The news of Seth's return did not attract much attention. If it were usual, Seth, who had returned, would have attracted attention in the town. At least, the members of the Fifty-Seventh Team would never let him go. However, now, the marriage between Lille and Bella has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Not everyone is interested in weddings, and not everyone likes this kind of excitement.

Wang Li belongs to the latter group.

She was already forty years old. When she was young, she liked to soak in nightclub bars. On the one hand, she liked excitement, and on the other hand, she wanted to find money to support her life from men. At that time, it was much simpler to make money than now. Everyone liked young and beautiful girls. Although Wang Li was not pretty, she was also full of vitality when she was young. With her graceful figure, many men would be willing to spend a lot of money on her.

Tobacco, alcohol, drugs, irregular work and rest time... These things are the biggest enemies of women. They depict fine wrinkles on Wang Li's face early, swallowing the smoothest and whitest high-quality ingredients on her skin. Now, besides dark yellow and stains, the skin has become loose. Wang Li has to apply a lot of foundation to cover it, and she can only choose to go out after dark. At least, in the absence of light, she looks a bit attractive, but if she gets too close, even a blind man can see the thick foundation on her face.

Every night at this time, Wang Li would walk out of the house and sway on the nearby streets.

She never goes to a bar. Although there are many men there, it is easy to get business, and alcohol and sweat will destroy her makeup. Even if the price is negotiated outside, as long as the real face is exposed, no one will willingly give it so much money to an old woman. It is still good to cut off half of it, and maybe they will not give it to you. I will beat you up when I leave.

The weather is very cold, and standing outside wearing a short skirt and suspenders is simply a torture. Wang Li was trembling coldly. She smoked desperately, hoping to get a little warmth and shelter from the smoke. This idea must be wrong and cannot become a reality. The only thing she could do was to walk back and forth in her high heels to keep her body moving, and get a little heat from the flowing blood.

"Damn wedding"

"That pair of damn dogs, damn mercenaries."

"I curse you that you will never die well. The man will be crazy that night. The woman will be better off being captured by the dark creatures and die alive."

Although they just cursed in a low voice, they were really too vicious. This is indeed Wang Li’s true thought. Lille and Bella have many friends, and their friends are often invited to come over because of their marriage. Although they have not yet been married, the mercenaries celebrated all night in the tavern for this reason. After all, there is really no entertainment in Konoha Town. Lille does not need to spend money, and people have regarded his future wedding as the current dish.

When men go to drink, the men patronizing Wang Li will naturally reduce the number of people. She does have reason to be dissatisfied and complained, and if anyone else is gone, she will do the same.

A black figure slowly walked over by the dark wall.

He moved very slowly, lowering his head, as if he was thinking about something, which affected the speed under his feet. It took only five to sixty meters apart, and walked for several minutes. Especially under the shadow of the walls and the house, his existence could not be noticed with his naked eyes. Wang Li just walked closer, about three meters away, and was startled and saw that the other party was the butcher Seth.

"I'm so scared. Why are you walking so lightly? You don't say a word."

Although she was very angry, Wang Li did not scold her in the street like a shrew. This is her long-standing habit, especially at night, when every man may become her own patron. Even if she really wants to scold, she must be sure that the other party has no interest in that aspect and is not ready to spend money on herself. Only when she scolds her will she become more and more unscrupulous.

The shadow covered most of Seth's face, only a small part, including his left eye, exposed to the light coming from afar. His body leaned slightly forward, without saying a word, but just took out something from his pocket and handed it over.

A silver coin lay in Seth's palm, releasing a tempting metallic luster.

Wang Li's fingers holding the cigarette froze. She looked at Seth sideways, and her eyes quickly reached the silver coins. Although she wanted to make a proud expression, Wang Li shivered because of the cold and could not even remain calm.

Her price is only five copper plates each time. Even in the summer when her income is the best, she only earns forty copper plates throughout the night. What is the concept of a silver coin? This means that in the next few weeks, even if she has no income, she can live a comfortable life.

Wang Li looked down on Seth a little, of course because of the things that happened before. She knew that Seth had become a despicable mouse in the eyes of the residents around her after Mo Xingkui's incident. Doing business with such a man may have an impact on herself. However, for the sake of money, who cares about so much?

Thinking of this, Wang Li took a deep breath, raised a finger provocatively, and while watching around nervously, he said hurriedly in a voice that only two people could hear: "One silver coin, once?"

This is like a lion's big talk. Wang Li is not a fool. She knows Seth's current predicament very well. This fat pig must have been unable to hold it in, so she came to me. If it were another woman, she would probably not provide services. The so-called "scarcity makes things expensive" is similar to the current situation. Of course, if Seth wants to bargain, Wang Li is also confident enough to slap this fat bastard.

Seth did not refuse. He nodded silently, turned around and walked towards his room. His steps were still very slow, as if they were two heavy pieces of metal.

When she walked into the room, Wang Li closed the door as fast as possible. She did not turn on the lights, and Seth did not make similar moves. This made Wang Li very satisfied. She only liked to do things in the dark. Only in this way can the guests retain the best impression when they see themselves, and not the slack wrinkles after the foundation fell off.

"Where is your bed? We'd better hurry up. I don't have much time. If you want to feel more comfortable, you have to add money. The silver coin I'm talking about at one time means... wu... wu... wu..."

A powerful force rushed from behind, strangling Wang Li's neck and pistoning the last few words she had just reached her mouth.

Wang Li wanted to scream loudly, but she couldn't even continue the breathing movement in her throat. She felt that her whole body was fixed by huge force, grabbed her neck with one hand, held her chin with the other, and turned her head and even her entire upper body backwards.

This action was completed in just a few seconds. From the side, Wang Li's body bent backwards to form an irregular letter "C".

The windows of the wooden house are embedded with glass. The different temperature differences inside and outside make the glass surface blurry, but they cannot block the lights in the distance. At this completely opposite angle, Wang Li saw Seth, who was illuminated by light light and her face became clear.

His face turned gray and although his eyes were open, he was not as black as a normal person should have, but a terrifying whiteness.

Yes, Wang Li didn't pay attention to Seth's eyes just now. He kept lowering his head and his eyelids were half-squinted. If it weren't for the light, the problem would not be seen.

Wang Li couldn't make a sound, she felt an indescribable icy cold that was rising up along her spine.

Only the eyes of dead people will become like this.

Seth is dead?

Is he a dead person?

A corpse?

Extreme fear instantly deprived Wang Li of all her thinking ability, and it seemed that the whole world was silent. She was completely driven by biological instinct, struggling desperately, twisting her waist and legs frantically, trying to break free from this extremely terrible environment. However, the force of holding the neck and jaw was too great. Although Wang Li tried every means to grab Seth, snatching her sharp nails deep into his flesh, Seth was still unmoved and maintained a nearly solidified stiff state.

Then, Wang Li saw Seth's fat belly squirming, and the clothes covering the surface were torn apart. His abdomen was torn apart, and a monster with a huge head that looked like a human baby, but had obvious differences. It was full of limbs. It did not cry or laugh, and looked at Wang Li with a cold face with a condescending face, which was creepy.

Wang Li looked horrified.

She instinctively determined that this monster that had just emerged from Seth's belly was a dark creature. This was almost the inertial thinking of humans in the third world, and any non-human creature that could not be classified will be classified into the dark group.

The Big Headed Monster Baby was like a maldeveloped little girl. It stared at Wang Li for a long time, as if it wanted to engrave every detail on the face deep in its brain. It stared at her silently until Wang Li felt the blood surged over her head. A second before her mind was almost abnormal, the Big Headed Monster Baby opened her mouth, revealing two rows of extremely sharp and sharp teeth.
