Chapter 253

Jason is a worker working in the candle factory of the fifth parish of valledo. Although he lives a hard life of working 16 hours a day, his family is happy.

He has a gentle and amiable wife miria, a pair of naughty twin sons Barry and linden, and a lovable little daughter Gloria.

His family is the most important pillar of his difficult life.

Although he lived a life of coarse bread and bitter vegetables, Jason still maintained his firm belief in the emperor. He took his family to pray before eating every meal, and his weekly worship was rain or shine.

This is something engraved in the genes of the valledo people. They feel satisfied and honored that they were born in a sacred world, because here the glory of the emperor can save them from many hardships in the dark galaxy

But now I don't know why, the days are getting more and more sad. First, the beloved Archbishop suddenly issued a strict piety decree a year ago, forcing everyone to go to the church every day to listen to the priests' prayers. Then a large number of disappearances occurred in each parish.

Although the patrol frequency of law enforcement officers has increased significantly, they are few and weak, and can not take into account other areas except the first diocese, so the believers need the blessing of the emperor more.

At dinner, the twins also mentioned that they had heard a rumor.

A new body was found in the street. Its eyes were dug out and covered with insects

Jason angrily scolded the twins and asked them not to frighten their little sister. Miriya told another story in order to dispel the gloomy atmosphere.

A blind Imperial Guard veteran who has been begging in the street for many years suddenly regained his eyesight, but Jason wondered where the veteran had the money to change his biological eyes.

Miriya told her husband that the veteran didn't change his biological eyes, but his blind eyes returned. It was a miracle.

The veteran said he saw an angel in his dream, and then his blindness healed.

Jason told his children that the emperor looked after everyone. As long as he prayed sincerely, he would be sincere and return.

The couple then drove the children to bed, and Miriya read Saint Sebastian to the twins? Saul's story, and Gloria wants his father to pray for him.

Jason smiled and said:

"The emperor is everywhere. If you like, you can pray like the Lord of mankind at any time."

But he prayed for his daughter.

Every day after that, Jason had to drag himself to work, because the continuous disappearances led to fewer and fewer workers, and the fewer workers, the worse the efficiency of completing the indicators, and his own ration was also affected.

Jason's factory is responsible for producing candles in the whole parish. As a parish with more than 200 churches, the daily consumption of candles is tons, so his daily work is extremely heavy.

His mother disappeared when he was a child. His father committed suicide during interrogation. He came to work in the factory since he was 13.

He knew that he was a worker's life all his life, and 80% would die in the factory, but he felt very proud to be able to contribute to the emperor, and the emperor also gave him such a perfect family.

What else can I be dissatisfied with?

Just the daily routine of going to church to pray and listen will make him have the illusion that something is whispering to himself, but he has never heard the contents of those whispers clearly, just an illusion caused by fatigue.

In his daily work, he could not help talking with his colleagues. When he talked about how many percentage points they were behind schedule, his colleagues said that they could catch up with the schedule only if there was a miracle.

Jason didn't think there might be no miracle. He told his colleagues that a blind veteran begging along the street suddenly recovered his eyesight after dreaming of an angel. Isn't this a miracle? What is it?

Then the colleague gave Jason a strange look and told him that the veteran was dead.

Just one day after recovering his eyesight, the veteran suddenly went crazy, shouted who he had killed, and then ran to be killed by a car.

Jason retorted at that time, because he knew the veteran when he was a boy. He couldn't kill.

While they were still talking, there was a sudden vibration on the ground and everyone stopped.

Then there was a big explosion in the factory and Jason was involved.

When Jason opened his eyes, he found that he had become a child and returned to his home.

Jason be struck dumb as like as two peas in a familiar figure. That is exactly what his mother looks like and looks like.

Jason couldn't believe it. His mother told him not to panic because he was safe.

Jason thought and told the figure in front of him that his mother was dead and the person in front of him could not be his mother.

The figure told him that his mother was not dead, but went elsewhere, and he was sent by the emperor.

Then, the other party sent out a dazzling aura. He recalled the local chapel. The emperor's justice and revenge incarnated on the painted glass of the church. The other party seemed to read his ideas, and the image in front of him was blooming with sacred brilliance.

It was an angel with a magnificent and holy appearance.

Jason was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He witnessed a real miracle. An angel really appeared.

The angel told him that he was unharmed by the emperor's great power.

However, the emperor did not save him for no reason. Jason had a task to complete.

Jason said he was just a nobody. How could he de get the favor of the emperor?

The angel told him that all the saints of the emperor were nobody at first.

Can the emperor make mistakes?

The angel then told him that the world was about to be destroyed. Only he stood up could he avoid destruction. Then Jason saw the illusion.

Dark shadow monsters lurk in the darkness. The people flee for their lives in a hurry, but they are torn apart by something.

The parish fell into destruction, innocent people flowed into a river, the sky was dyed red, and bones piled up like mountains.

He saw his wife crying in a nightmare and his twin son's eyeballs were gouged out.

Then he saw his little daughter, and some monsters were approaching her.

The illusion is over.

The angel told him that if Jason wanted to stop what was about to happen, he must make a contribution to the emperor.

Jason told the angel excitedly.

"I am willing to give everything to prevent destruction!"

The angel's response is.

"The offering is the heart of his favorite child."

Jason was stunned. He stammered that he couldn't do it. He couldn't kill his favorite child.

The angel responded without emotion:

"The emperor asked to offer more things, because power comes from sacrifice. If there is no sacrifice, how can the emperor have the power to protect the galaxy?"

Jason still refused. The angel warned him that the crisis was imminent. Jason could only choose between washing his soul with his daughter's blood and watching his family break down and die. He had one night to think about it.

After that, Jason came home dejected and told himself again and again that he had to do so and had no other choice.

Whenever he blinked, he would see the scene of destruction, the scream of his family's death came in his ear, and the angels whispered in his ear

He recalled that his father was drunk when he committed suicide. He couldn't hear what his father wanted to tell him.

Miriya was surprised to see Jason come back and told him that the whole family thought he was dead and everyone prayed for him, especially Gloria.

Jason replied mechanically that it was a miracle.

Soon, he took his wife and daughter's heart out of the house and shouted for the angel to appear. He had completed the task of the emperor.

A voice appeared behind him, and it no longer came from 'far away'.

The angel told Jason that he had done much better than he thought, and the world would be saved now, but Jason didn't know, so he didn't see any divine signs or manifestations.

He asked almost crazily:

"When can I see it!"

The angel told him that when the world flows with blood and the corpse blocks the sun, salvation will come.

Jason, who was stained with the blood of his wife and daughter, turned his head and saw the figure behind him.

It was a twisted creation in his mother's human skin.

Then the thing that used to be his mother hugged him, and he felt his brain filled with crazy laughter and sub space scream, which brought terror countless times more terrible than the illusion he had seen before.

His former mother told him that now they are finally reunited forever.
