Chapter 6 The Praying Girl
Dozens of light-transmitting glass windows extend from the ceiling to the floor. Sunlight shines in through the glass, adding a sacred atmosphere to the church.
All these scenes are so peaceful. If you add the girl kneeling in front of the statue to pray quietly, it will become a very beautiful scene, right?
Liu Mengchao crouched in the shadow, looking at the girl with long brown hair in front of the statue, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, and his eyes became softer. His position was too secretive, and he was squatting
The girl who was kneeling and praying in front of the 20-meter-high statue looked more like she was kneeling down to Liu Mengchao at this moment.
Jumping forward, Liu Mengchao actually jumped down from the 20-meter-high statue. But when he landed, his sound was so light, as if a feather was slowly falling to the ground.
White clothes and white robes, this is what Liu Mengchao is wearing now. He will be hidden under the white hood, and the whole person is safely in the shadows. Liu Mengchao's footsteps were so light until Liu Mengchao walked to the girl
, the girl is still immersed in her prayers.
Liu Mengchao stood next to the girl like this, looking at the girl with his own eyes. She was not young, almost twenty years old, with long auburn hair shawl, wearing a white dress. He was half-kneeling and praying.
His expression was extremely solemn, making people stop unconsciously.
"It's so beautiful..."
Liu Mengchao sighed unconsciously and spoke.
"Who are you!?"
The girl stood up instantly, her long auburn hair shaking in front of her in panic, and the skirt of her white dress swaying uneasily at the same time.
"People can really see through beauty and ugliness at a glance, right?" Liu Mengchao said with a slight smile, "Just like people think orangutans are ugly, it's because they are too similar to humans.
And the reason why cults are ugly isn’t it because they are so similar to religion?”
To the girl, Liu Mengchao's self-absorbed words seemed like a fairy tale, and she didn't understand a single word. She just narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled quietly.
"Are you also a believer in the Sun God Religion?"
"Sun God?"
Liu Mengchao raised his head and glanced at the statue that he had always stepped on. It was about twenty meters tall and looked like the Poseidon, the emperor of the sea that Liu Mengchao was familiar with. He wore a crown and held a trident.
"no."
"So are you interested in the Rete Cult?" The girl's eyes were big and bright, like stars that could attract people's attention. "He can give the living immortal souls, and can give the dead resurrection and rebirth. And all of this is
It has been confirmed! Bishop Geniro of the Rete Cult possesses this miraculous power!"
Miraculous power?
Liu Mengchao twitched the corner of his mouth and subconsciously wanted to laugh. Although he had never watched the plot of Fullmetal Alchemist, this did not prevent Liu Mengchao's brain from functioning normally. You must know that even those who stand at the top of the world's power
The Edward brothers all met with misfortune in order to resurrect their mother.
In other words...this so-called bishop is probably full of water, right?
Sitting casually on the prayer bench, Liu Mengchao raised his legs without any respect. His toes swayed up and down in front of him, and his eyes looked at the girl in front of him with a half-smile.
"So you are a loyal believer in the Rete Religion?"
"Yes! The Bishop said that as long as I pray sincerely every day, Alex will be resurrected!"
"oh?"
When Liu Mengchao heard the girl's words, he buried his head directly. The corners of his mouth had already curled up when the girl's words came out.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of, no, it should be said that it was a burst of completely uncontrollable laughter that burst out from Liu Mengchao's body. He laughed so loudly, like a nonchalant blasphemer. Such behavior makes sense.
If he deserves to be punished by God, he will at least be disgusted by the girl in front of him.
"What you are doing is disrespectful to God Lei Te!"
"Oh oh oh? Disrespectful behavior? Can this also be regarded as disrespectful behavior?"
Liu Mengchao stood up suddenly and stood directly in front of the girl. If Liu Mengchao, who was wearing a white hood, looked from a distance, his facial features would not be visible at all. But standing at such a close distance, the praying girl could not see it at this moment.
I can clearly see Liu Mengchao's facial features, especially Liu Mengchao's irritating eyes that look like a smile but not a smile.
"You! Aren't you afraid of being punished by God? Stop your actions quickly..."
The girl who mustered up the courage to look into Liu Mengchao's eyes gradually became quieter. She slowly lowered her head, escaping from Liu Mengchao's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile. Just because this simple-minded girl only felt the eyes of this man.
He seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Under his gaze, he seemed to be an invisible person in a world of ice and snow.
The coldness that came from the deepest part of my soul began to hit my whole body like a cold wave in December.
Liu Mengchao looked at the girl in front of him and shook his head slightly. He was already accustomed to such people. Liu Mengchao raised his hand, put it on the edge of the white hood, and then slowly took off the hood.
"Faith, at least a faith like yours is not my creed. It's more like trading than being in Xinyang. You let yourself pray devoutly, so the gods will respond devoutly. Speaking of it, such behavior is more like
You order food in a restaurant, you pay, and the boss serves it."
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth were raised, but his eyes were cold.
"No! As long as I continue to believe sincerely..."
"The person you care about will definitely be resurrected, right?" Liu Mengchao walked past the girl, looking up at the statue of God Lei Te in front of him.
"What a good deal. As long as I have faith, I can get anything I want. So in other words, when did faith become so worthless, and when did gods become so cheap?"
Liu Mengchao spoke very fast, faster than the girl's cheeks turned pale. His eyes seemed to be radiating sharp swords, constantly piercing the girl's delicate heart.
"By the way, have you ever seen God?"
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth were raised as he asked an irrelevant question.
"I've never seen it! I've seen it once in hell!"
Another louder reply came from the distance. It was a short man, just 1.5 meters tall, shorter than Levi, whom Liu Mengchao knew well. He was wearing a scarlet windbreaker, followed by a tall man.
A big man in armor nearly two meters tall.
There is no doubt that the visitors are Edward and his brother, Alphonse. And the reason why they say they have seen hell is that maybe anyone who has seen what these two people look like now will not be surprised by this, right?
Liu Mengchao was not surprised by this. Although he didn't know much about the plot of Fullmetal Alchemist, Liu Mengchao still knew about the fact that these two famous brothers made human bodies and wanted to resurrect their mother. He nodded slightly.
He nodded and said hello to the Fullmetal Alchemist brothers who had just arrived.
"Where's the bottle of wine?",
Who would have thought that when Edward saw Liu Mengchao for the first time, he directly asked such a question. Although as a national alchemist, he enjoyed the treatment of a major and special research funds, he spent nearly 40,000 yuan on a casual meal.
Yuan is still an unacceptable thing.
"One cup returns the moon to the river, one cup is sent to an old friend from far away, one cup has been poured into the building, and one cup has entered the heart of sorrow." The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
It was only now that he discovered something, something that perhaps Liu Mengchao had not experienced for a long time since he entered the world of the Lord God.
He hasn't been alone for too long. Humans are social animals, and living in isolation often leads to the breakdown of psychological defenses.
"So...you drank until there was not a drop left?"
Although Liu Mengchao's words sounded vaguely understandable to Edward, it was not like he had never seen a man who drank to drown his sorrows. At this moment, he could say that he completely understood Liu Mengchao's words.
"Yes, not a drop is left."
Liu Mengchao grinned and laughed.
"But I just met a very powerful god. As long as you pray sincerely, let alone a bottle of wine, even the dead can be resurrected for you."
"god……?"
Edward curled his lips and sneered.
"Yes, a god who cannot protect himself."
