In the confession room, Fan Ning held the seat with both hands and spoke to the figure on the opposite side of the partition.
"ah?"
Marshal Enukem, who had just sat down, felt frightened when he heard these words. His heart stopped for half a beat, and he asked slowly in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, I have indeed reflected and repented, and am about to confess and seek redemption. Holy Spirit, won't she pity me, a sinner? Even if she just listens to you?"
"Did you bring Nalanute with you for this visit?"
"Yes." Enukem nodded, "The telegram entrusted by the Bishop to Colonel Alpha to be sent to the entire army has already made it very clear, but it is also approaching the last unforgivable moment. Nowadays, someone in the Sun Army has appeared.
This series of problems should have been rectified long before the Bishop published it in the newspaper..."
"I did persuade some people who thought they could still be saved, such as Brigadier General Boles, but they refused to change after repeated admonitions, and they were hard to recover from, but for a while I didn't bother to hold them accountable... So I thought I would do it myself first.
Make confession, and then ask him to come forward to accept the crime."
"Then you have no unforgivable sins at the moment, so you can retreat," Fan Ning said.
"This? No?...This, I..." Enukem felt relieved in his heart, but also felt unclear.
"Evil people run the business and get vain wages. Those who sow righteous seeds get real results." Fan Ning opened the kettle, took a sip, and calmly explained the reason to the commander of Janus, "I used to say
He who speaks kindly to some lambs and claps his hands as a surety before his neighbor is a fool. For what a man says or does is often right in his own eyes. Whoever loves strife loves transgression,
He who builds his house high will bring about his own ruin..."
"As a king among soldiers, you must have a lot of disputes and annoyances on weekdays, but the cleanliness in front of the door is still important in your heart. Now that you drive out the scorners, the disputes will be eliminated, and the divisions and humiliations will also cease."
"Doing the work of justification in earnest is more acceptable to the Lord than offering sacrifices and supplications. But as the words 'Glory to the Holy Church and peace to the soldiers' reach my ears, this thing will definitely be done for you.
"
Enukem suddenly felt that the truth was clear, he was moved, and he let go of the burden in his heart. He stood up and bowed solemnly.
"I'll bring him here right now." He put on his helmet and strode out of the confessional.
In the spare moment, Fan Ning looked around again.
"This feeling......"
There must be something watching and listening here!
Not a "person" or "individual" in the empirical sense.
The content of the Sacrament of Penance is strictly kept secret from third parties, but if it encounters the occult variable of being "witnessed", I am afraid it will not be discussed.
Just like many words, deeds and deeds recorded in the doctrine, it is possible that they came from a certain sacrament of confession in history.
"Is there some mysterious power that records the words and deeds between me and the people around me?"
While thinking, Fan Ning saw three figures coming in from the opposite side. After bringing one of them to a chair, two more quickly retreated.
Fan Ning directly put the "Night Watchman's Lamp" on the table.
"A deceitful tongue is an abomination to the Holy Spirit; therefore I will not speak to you."
He once again made a sudden action of "pushing the window" on the fender.
"Father, I..." Admiral Lannut was thinking about what to say, what not to say, how to mediate, how to delay... Suddenly, the thick baffle in front of him suddenly
The crack swelled like a hole in a cloth bag, and countless bursts of light burst out from behind!
This was the first time he had seen Father Lavoisier in person, but unfortunately, the world at this time was so bright that it was impossible to see the appearance, hairstyle, and color of the clothes of the priest sitting opposite.
The other person's whole body is like a mirror with an irregular surface, reflecting him and everything around him, and "sucking" his own perspective into it!
"Buzz...wow..."
Lannut felt that his ears were ringing, and his consciousness began to lose control uncontrollably, and his memories and thoughts were pierced and flowed out like runny eggs.
Compared with the "night watchman's lamp" function of sensing believers' prayers and gaining insight into psychological states, this kind of spirit search is undoubtedly a more violent method. The lighting intensity is too high and the damage is irreversible.
But in another sense, it is very efficient and trouble-free.
"Um?"
The noise in Fan Ning's hearing was eliminated, the edge of his "vision" was filled with golden mist of nothingness, and the colors and pictures in the middle seemed to be newly dyed.
He "saw" that he was in one indoor room after another, including a small villa, a small bar, a small theater, a small office building... The men, women, and children around him were sitting on the ground, shaking sleigh bells, and making loud noises.
A very soft and broken sound, while chanting the honorable name of that ancient and terrifying existence.
"Check-check-check-check--"
"The savior of destiny, the guide of heaven. The embodiment of ancient truth, the pioneer of change."
Fan Ning knew that these were gatherings of acquaintances from the Divine Advent Society, and that he was "taking on" Lannut's perspective.
The scenes are all familiar, and there is nothing too scary, but there is an inexplicable sense of weirdness and strangeness.
In particular, most gatherings have no obvious organizational leader.
Just like spontaneous.
There are many acquaintances in the Divine Advent Society, but the number of real esoteric believers seems to be far less than that of other secret organizations, and their whereabouts are more elusive.
The scene changed again, and a woman appeared in front of "himself".
A niche style bright yellow tea dress, arms covered with white gauze, a golden mask...
"Sylvia?" Fan Ning held his breath and concentrated.
Sure enough, he is really a member of the Society of Divine Adventurs. From the initial underground gathering, to the "phantom man" incident at the graduation concert, to the Santalan Fort subway incident, he gradually guided his activities quietly to the Southern Continent, and was involved in...
During the "meat sacrifice".
"So, the Special Inspection Office has really been tricked several times in a row... Of course, it's also because they didn't have any good intentions, and they are a typical example of wet shoes by the river...
"
"It seems that Sylvia is in the middle position in the system of the Divine Advent Society. Below is the apostle Vasius and other secret organizations that are being used, and above is Mr. F... This woman was originally in
He was active in the Northern Continent, then secretly controlled the rhythm of the Southern Continent, and now he is active in the Western Continent..."
Fanning saw Sylvia taking some documents from Lannut, some were procedures, some were letterheads, and some were forms with names written on them. He used his spiritual efforts to peek into the details, and saw on the form the words "
"Time of Death" column.
This shows that the transportation of coffins of fallen soldiers was indeed intervened in order to screen out a large number of "worm-inhabited people".
This force was also behind the last air raid on the church.
In these scenes, Lannut also gave Sylvia a relatively large "document" once.
"map?"
"Map of the Southern Continent?"
Fan Ning saw the terrain above, and in particular saw a sign marked "Cracking Field".
"Leave in three days to pick up the remains of the meat sacrifice..."
"When these pilgrims are sent away..."
"The people from the Special Inspection Department guard the 'pyrolysis site' very tightly, and the accumulation of contamination in the 'pool core' inside must also be carefully considered..."
"Save some 'pleasant blood' in advance, it will be effective when dealing with it..."
Fan Ning heard fragmented but crucial strategic discussions.
"Sylvia is also going to the Southern Continent? Also planning to go to the 'Disintegration Field'?" Fan Ning frowned deeply, "Pick up the remains of the Meat Sacrifice? What does this refer to? The fragments of the 'Feasting Beast'
?The remains of the 'original prophet'? Where do they think Sherer is?... No, could it be the twin spirits of 'Miss Purple Bean Cake' and 'Miss Scarlet'!?"
Probably!
Earlier, the "broker" of the esoteric cultists of the North Continent's Joyful Listening Club set up a red agate cultural media company to murder Professor Anton and other students, and used the "Spirit-Photography Secret Instrument" to refine the essence of brilliance. This is the mysterious chord of Mr. F
play a key role in it.
Later, in the Crimson Church in the Southern Continent, Renilla's conversation with the messenger before her death also directly pointed to Mr. F's "promise" and even mentioned the "Key No. 1" on her body.
The inexplicable activation of the entire "Red Pond" true knowledge, as well as the actions of "Miss Crimson" and the Pleasure Listening Conference, are all related to the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the Divine Advent Society!
Now, since "Miss Crimson" has been dragged into the stalemate at the "Disintegration Field" by Joan, whether the Society of Divine Adventurers wants to fulfill its "promise" to pick her up, or has other purposes, Sylvia's motive for going to the Southern Continent is unclear.
It's consistent...
If this is the case, Joan's next danger will be greatly advanced.
However, it is conceivable that the Special Inspection Office has kept a relatively tight guard on the once damaged hub of the "Feasting Beast" - the entrance to the "Cracking Field" in the waking world. In addition, the "Cracking Field" was once occupied by
Pollution from the "pool core" that Pogorelic invested heavily in accumulating cannot be underestimated, which also gave Sylvia a headache.
Not everyone is like Fan Ning, who received the last blessing from the "Fanghui Poet" and also holds the remains of the "Red Pond" in his hands.
"Sylvia was still in the Western Continent before leaving, and had frequent contact with Lannut. In addition, the last air raid on the church was related to him, which shows that she has been active in the area of Apel and Puntua recently...
..."
Fan Ning's previous proposal to Luo Yin to be promoted to the Understander, "Killing a Understander", meant that the first person he was considering was Sylvia.
Luo Yin did not agree with this opinion and responded with "No risks allowed", but Fan Ning just pretended that this sentence did not exist.
Not to mention the many lives that this person carried before, including Teacher Anton... Just one point, the esoteric believers of the Divine Advent Society worship the "Truthful Tiger", and such a good "Yan" can understand him deeply.
Xiao Zhe, it would be a pity not to kill him.
The Special Inspection Office uses "phantom people" to occupy positions, mainly occupying the first and second heights of the climbing path. Similar to people who want to block roads, they can achieve their goals by blocking the intersection, and destroy one or two when they need to be released.
A piece of stone.
Killing a Deep One has the same effect as destroying one or two "phantoms".
Killing a higher-leveled One might be more effective.
"Sylvia is erratic and good at disguise. This has always been the case before. Now, every time she appears in Lannut's memory scene, the color of her clothes is different, the color of the mask is different, and even her figure and voice are different.
Subtle differences, the latter is something I didn’t notice when I was weak before and when I faced it in person..."
"So, where will she be now?" Fan Ning's mind was racing.
The apocalyptic scene of the spirit search became shaky, and finally switched to an outdoor location with a wide view.
In the distance are mountain peaks, lakes and primeval forests that cover the sky, while nearby are swamps, wetlands and bad roads in the mud.
There are few people living here.
Closer, the relatively intact roads that can be called "roads" are the only "man-made traces" that can be seen.
However, ten meters ahead, the road ahead was also cut off by abandoned barbed wire fences and sentry towers.
Everyone twisted off the rusty barbed wire and ducked in.
They wore sun hats and carried bulging outdoor travel bags, and some even carried weapons. It looked like they were going out on an unusual occasion, but they were neatly dressed and in high spirits, as if it was an important day in their lives.
.
"We enjoy the joy of heaven, which is very different from the earth..."
"The hustle and bustle of the world has no trace here..."
What made people feel even more dislocated was that there was actually a "happy song" floating out from the team entering the barbed wire fence.
""Heaven is Full of Violins"?"
In the flickering picture, Fan Ning identified that the "joyful song" they sang was a poem from "The Magic Horn of Youth" that was included in the teachings of the Divine Advent Society.
At the last moment, Fan Ning's eyes froze.
He seemed to see something unusual ahead.
Behind the barbed wire fence, on the muddy road, among the reeds at human height that were pushed aside by the team...
On that plane...
He saw something that could not be described as "scenes" or "things" mixed and flowing together, like a twisted and colorful film on the surface of sparkling water!
The moment the figure of the first person stepped into the twisted membrane, the apocalyptic scene of the search for spiritual bodies collapsed.
Fan Ning tapped her fingers on the table.
Lannut was lying on the opposite side, as if sleeping on a eucalyptus, but his calves were twitching unconsciously.
"Carry it away, next one."
If this person's brain is not broken, the church clergy can review it again if he has any detailed information.
A minute later, Fan Ning, who was thinking, spoke again:
"What confession have you come to make?"
...
The two-day Sacrament of Penance was carried out in an orderly manner.
Not everyone who comes to confession will ask some "unnatural" questions or encounter these exceptional variables.
Most of what Fan Ning encountered afterwards were trivial things.
The answer does not require too much brainpower, and you can allocate your energy to think about the problems you face next, but you still have no clue.
Although the pope, the presiding judge and the cardinals and other core senior officials arrived at Hedgewell the night before and had been thinking about the compilation of the "Lavoisier Gospels" all night, they did not choose to disturb Fanning midway.
In this way, it was dusk the next day, which was also the time when Fan Ning was about to leave Janus.
Finally a figure came in, sat in front of the baffle and spoke:
"Good evening, Mr. Father."
Hearing that familiar polite and noble voice, Fan Ning smiled subconsciously, and let go of his self-restrained spiritual sense.
There should be no need to abide by the church's principle of keeping secrets.
Hair tied up, black formal suit, white silk scarf, small leather shoes with exposed insteps...very formal and dignified attire. Fan Ning commented secretly in his heart, and then repeated the same tone hundreds of times:
