The melodious song made Su Qi slowly open his eyes.
The sun shone warmly on the ground. Hundreds of people were sitting cross-legged in the bright space of the church. They were wearing pure white clothes, with bare feet, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The body is swaying in a daze and contentment to the rhythm of the song.
Standing in the center was a lady playing the violin. She stood on tiptoe with a faint smile on her face, leading everyone to sing this catchy song together.
At this moment, Su Qi was also wearing white clothes. He raised his eyebrows slightly and had a strange feeling all over his body.
He slowly reached out his hand and pulled open the clothes on his chest.
There is a distinct black stripe on the chest.
It was spreading from the chest to the surrounding area, and there were obvious black veins throbbing.
And Su Qi paused slightly.
Because the singing suddenly stopped at this moment, he slowly raised his head, and hundreds of people around him all looked at him.
Or rather, look at Su Qi's chest.
Their eyes were calm, and a completely different feeling was conveyed.
"Your eyes are a little too fiery." Su Qi looked over and saw that at least seventy of the hundred people were men, but there were also old people and children mixed in.
"There's something wrong with your body."
An old man slowly raised his finger and pointed at Su Qi. His brows were strange and his dry mouth was throbbing.
"Those black stripes are a terrible disease." Another middle-aged woman also spoke softly. She was plump and had a calm expression.
The little boy next to the "sick person" tilted his head and said, "He will die."
It was broad daylight and the church was brightly lit, but their eyes were fixed on Su Qi in the silence, and they felt a chill unconsciously.
However, facing so many gazes, Su Qi was not panicked.
Su Qi looked at the black stripes on his chest, and he indeed felt an evil aura from them.
"It seems that he is seriously ill."
He looked at everyone seriously: "Is it too late for me to take a stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablet now?"
“No medicine works.”
"We have the same terminal illness."
The woman playing the violin put her book on her back and slowly unbuttoned her clothes on her back.
Above is
Large patches of black stripes, like poisonous insects rooted in her blood vessels, seemed to be integrated into her flesh and blood.
Simultaneously.
The other hundred people also revealed the parts of their bodies covered by black stripes.
"Okay. Then you don't have to take off your pants, they are too dark." Su Qi said softly, "So I understand, it turns out that everyone is gathered here because of terminal illnesses."
"No"
The woman in front of him shook her head: "Everyone who comes to this world is infected with this cruel disease. We are all people who can die at any time."
Su Qi's brows twitched slightly.
"Everyone who came into this world?"
He didn't ask any further questions.
"But don't worry." She smiled: "There will be a way to solve all this."
"As long as you follow the instructions of the Venerable."
At this moment.
Everyone else stood up, each wearing white clothes, with their heads bowed, looking pious and smiling.
Su Qi also stood up slowly.
He doesn't like this white outfit very much now, but it seems that liquid metal cannot be used at present, and there are no restrictions in other aspects.
"Next, we will follow them to the baptism site."
The woman smiled softly, and she played the violin in her hand again, and a beautiful melody sounded.
Su Qi glanced at her violin and then looked away.
After walking out of the church gate, the middle-aged man patted Su Qi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as you can complete the instructions well, you will survive well, and you will soon find that life here is very happy."
"How happy?"
The middle-aged man paused and said, "You will probably feel a kind of peace in your whole body and mind, which is something you can't feel after fighting and killing in the outside world."
Suki walks outside.
There were also a lot of people wearing white clothes outside. They had happy smiles on their faces and walked together on the road. It was clean and warm.
It’s just a town.
The sky is no different from any other world.
"Speaking of what I just said, what does it mean about all the people who come to this world?" Su Qi said softly.
The middle-aged man glanced at Su Qi slowly:
"Every three months, a lot of sinners will fall from the myriad worlds and enter our world because of the coming of the baptism day."
"The evil one?"
"Yes, many people here have extremely serious sins. When they come to this world, the disease of sin will emerge like a worm in the tarsal bone, which is a terminal illness for everyone."
Su Qi waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm a good person."
"You can fool others, but you can't fool your own heart." The middle-aged man pointed at Su Qi's chest and said, "We are all sinners. Only baptism and the Venerable One can wash away our sins."
When the middle-aged man said this, especially when he mentioned the word "Venerable", he couldn't help but put his hands together and even bowed very piously.
Suki narrowed his eyes.
I have experienced this kind of scene before, and it was full of various cultists.
Everyone was still walking, talking and laughing along the way. Although the content of their conversation was not very meaningful, it was all about where they were going to pick flowers, where they were going to repair, and how long they were going to pray for the Venerable.
Su Qi looked at the people around him.
Although everyone looks like an ordinary person, in fact everyone is a Sequencer. Most of them have Sequence Nine strength, and there are also Sequence Eight. Some are weird, some are strange, and some are humanoid.
Some of them seemed to have sinful pasts as the middle-aged man had said. Su Qi could see that their information contained numbers of killings and cruelties.
Everyone is evil? And then they all turn to good?
Am I included in this? Just kidding, I'm a very nice person.
Su Qi looked at the middle-aged man: "How long have you been here?"
"Three months." The middle-aged man slowly loosened his hands and smiled gently: "In these three months, I forgot all the anxiety and troubles in the past."
"No longer the executioner who killed countless people."
"Under the guidance of the Venerable." He looked at Su Qi with his pupils motionless, and the smile on his face was a little unpredictable: "I have become a new person."
The hundred people present seemed to be a fixed team.
Su Qi also learned from the middle-aged man that most of the team in front of him were people who came here three months ago. They are now familiar with everything. Like the middle-aged man, they have the calmness of being educated and a strong sense of belonging to the Venerable and everything here.
Simultaneously.
There are three people inside who have just entered this place recently.
Some people have been here for a week and have a smile on their face, just like everyone else.
Some people have been here for five days. Although the smile on their faces is a little stiff, they are having fun with the people around them and are laughing along with them.
Everyone looks happy, cheerful and blessed.
Another person only came for one day.
He was a young man with a forced smile on his face. If you looked closely, he looked a little pale and thin, and seemed out of tune with the people around him.
But from time to time he looked at his collarbone, where there were also black stripes, and looked hesitant.
Su Qi followed the crowd and walked slowly towards the street.
There are naturally strange things everywhere here.
And everyone I saw was strange, on the one hand friendly, enthusiastic, full of happiness and hope.
On the other hand, it makes people feel uncomfortable.
and also.
The venerable one whom they all mentioned and believed in so deeply.
Who is it again?
Everything before us seems to have new clues that may only emerge when we are baptized.
"arrive."
The leader looked at the white house in front of them, and everyone raised their heads: "This is the place for baptism."
They all looked excited.
"Fellow newcomers, put aside all past obstacles, recite the teachings of the Venerable Master silently in your hearts, and go in with the most pious heart." The person standing at the door of the white house said softly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you for everything here!" They clasped their hands together and spoke with piety in their voices.
Then the door was opened, but it was not that bright inside, and everyone walked in slowly and orderly.
"You two." The guard looked at the boy and Su Qi and said, "Wait a moment."
".Need to register?" Su Qi paused: "My cell phone number ends with"
"unnecessary."
He said softly, "Since this is your first time to be baptized, please write your names here."
Su Qi paused slightly and looked at the boy.
