Chapter 1631

This is a basement in the suburbs. There is darkness and silence around it. Only at the innermost end of the basement, there is a faint yellow fire burning.

It was a crude altar full of candlesticks.

The candle was burning quietly, and the air was full of the pungent smell of inferior candles.

In front of the altar, a middle-aged woman with a plain scarf knelt down and prayed silently.

In front of her, that is, in the center of the altar, there is a round stone with an carving on it. She whispered to the sculpture.

Most of the words are praying for miracles and offering whispers of faith.

When she finished reciting, she leaned down, her forehead deeply against the floor, and her hands slowly stretched forward, just like crawling. Then he suddenly fell together, knelt down on the ground, looked up and shouted a strange tone.

When this sentence fell, there was an inexplicable breeze in the closed basement, which swayed the flame on the candlestick.

After standing still in the breeze for a few seconds, the middle-aged woman sat on the ground and sighed gently: "unfortunately, after the bishop went to the kingdom of God, the later sacrificial words lost their meaning. Otherwise, how could there be only this breeze."

"I remember the Bishop said that only the power of death can irrigate the burst of germination. Now there is no complete sacrifice. Maybe the God of germination will notice me as a humble believer only when I am dying."

The woman stood up with emotion: "Alas, if it weren't for the wishes of the bishop, I would have left this world."

The woman shook her head, staggered to her feet and walked step by step into the darkness.

After a while, the sound of opening and closing the door sounded in the dark, and the woman's pace was farther and farther. Obviously, she has left the basement.

Not long after she left, the candlelight on the altar suddenly flickered again.

A young man in a black gentleman's suit slowly showed his figure in the twinkling of Mars.

The young man looked at the direction of the basement door and whispered to himself, "the God of germination, do you think it is a real God?"

The young man flashed sarcasm in his eyes, and then turned to look at the statue on the altar. This is a round stone on which a sprouting bud is carved.

When looking at the bud pattern, the youth flashed a positive color in his eyes: "it's really it."

A gust of wind blew out the candles on the altar. With the invasion of darkness, the figure of youth gradually disappeared.

Paladova, the entrance to the wasteland.

There is a river between the barren city and the new city. The middle-aged woman who prayed in the basement, wearing a mask, passed through the new city shrouded in smog and came to the river.

Because the construction of the new town needs a lot of metal materials, all the treated metal wastewater is poured into Hanoi. The original clear river water has now changed its appearance, all kinds of colors converge, the dumping of unknown rubbish, the thick floating froth on the river, and the stench of smoke.

When the middle-aged woman walked over the bridge, she looked at the disgusting color in the river and flashed anger in her eyes.

"Budding God, take your devout believers to the kingdom of God. This world has been polluted by steel monsters, and there is no place for believers to live."

She cried bitterly at the bridge head. There were not many people around. The only few people were just tramps. She didn't even lift her head when listening to the woman's roar.

This play has been on for five years. Every time she passed the bridge, she would come here. I'm tired of seeing and listening. I don't even want to reward her in my eyes.

This is a madman who believes in a cult.

The middle-aged woman looked a little better when she crossed the bridge, but she couldn't help shaking her head when she looked at the deserted buildings. How beautiful these buildings used to be, they are all the memories of her childhood and the exquisite prosperity under the blue sky and white clouds. But now, they are all covered with weeds, and there are holes everywhere. These holes are all stones removed by tramps, who secretly sell money.

Beauty has disappeared. Maybe only the budding God comes can save this dirty world?

With a sad mood, she slowly came to the parish.

The diocese is the most dilapidated place in the desolate city, because the king of Yirong country was very indifferent to religion and followed suit. The most damaged place in each city is the place of religion.

Before the desolate city was abandoned, the diocese had suffered a disaster. Although there are many holes in the houses outside, at least several complete buildings can be seen, but it is different here. Almost all buildings are incomplete.

Either the roof is missing or half collapsed.

Only a remote chapel can maintain its original appearance slightly. Because this chapel was built seven years ago; However, there was a big case five years ago. More than 20 believers disappeared, resulting in the abandonment of the chapel.

The middle-aged woman staggered forward in the ruins, and the goal was the chapel.

Push open the church door, and with the creaking sound, the dim light enters the inside, and you can see that it is empty.

After entering the church, she naturally came to the courtyard of the side door of the church, fetched a bucket of water from the well in the yard, came to the church, dipped water with a pure white cloth, and slowly wiped the round stone on the front platform of the church.

This stone is the same as the stone she held a memorial ceremony in the basement. It is engraved with the pattern of "sprout".

She rubbed it very carefully. She rubbed it everywhere.

With the immersion of clear water, charming patterns slowly emerge on the stones.

She looked at the lines on the stone and her eyes flashed with satisfaction.

This is a rain grain stone. The characteristic of rain grain stone is that it will show colorful lines after touching water. Rain grain stone is not a valuable stone, but it is very popular with children.

When the bishop chose to depict the bud God pattern on this rain grain stone, she objected because the rain grain stone was too cheap. But the Bishop said that the rain ripple stone was a gift from the God of germination, and she didn't believe it at that time.

But after the real carving, she found that perhaps the bishop was right. Because after being stained with water, these lines not only match with the budding carving on it, but also are very perfect.

The bishop was summoned by the budding god five years ago. Before she went to the kingdom of God, she told her to come and scrub this rain grain stone often.

It was because of the Bishop's orders that she stayed and did not go to the kingdom of God.

Now think about it, I still have some regrets.

After she rubbed the stone, she rubbed her sore waist. Today's task is completed. According to the cleanliness, just clean it again in a week.

Thinking of this, she finally prayed to the budding God, and was ready to turn and leave.

But when she turned around, she found that there was another person not far behind her.

It was a young man dressed like an aristocrat.

Wearing a black gentleman's suit and a hat. Because his back is facing the direction of the gate, which belongs to the backlight, he can't see his appearance for a moment. He can only vaguely see a pair of blue eyes like the sea.

The middle-aged woman was startled, covered her chest and said, "you... Who are you? When did you come in?"

The young man took off his hat and showed his short blond hair. His hair was a little soft and swayed slightly with the lift of his hat and the breeze.

The young man put his hat on his chest and introduced himself: "my name is angel. With all due respect, can I ask the lady about something?"
