Chapter 450 Cry
Milo has made it clear that he has no interest in the so-called Golden Rule Bishop and has no intention of meeting this person.
But by some mistake, he finally stepped into the Cathedral of the Golden Rule.
......
In fact, he has never been very interested in these proverbs and prayers spoken by the church, or in other words, all these riddles that cannot clearly express their meaning in normal sentences, he Too lazy to think about it.
There are already enough riddles in those ancient classics that have been passed down for countless years. The civilization that has turned into dust can just talk like this. If living people continue to imitate the ancients, Milo will only uniformly recognize them as It's a pretense.
But in the cathedral, the girl's prayer was not the "fear of the blood of the old gods" that church clergy have always talked about. She also mentioned the Holy Communion.
This caught Milo's attention.
The Holy Communion, that is an important factor in Milo being able to get to where he is today.
He still doesn’t know the identity of the Scarlet Witch, and she has never revealed her true origin, only mentioning that she comes from the Dreamland.
Milo was curious about whether the Holy Communion spoken by the girl in white who was deep in the church also meant the Holy Communion spoken by the Red Witch.
From his preconceived perspective, the sect that the Scarlet Witch believed in was definitely not the same thing as the Golden Rule and the Golden Tree.
Just like the look of both of them.
One has a childish voice, one is old and decayed, one's long clothes are white and spotless, and the other has a shabby red robe wrapped in filth.
……
...
However, it seemed that there was some strong desire for knowledge in his heart, and Milo still stepped into this church deep in the church.
Under the dim candlelight, he could only clearly see the back of the girl leaning under the golden tree sculpture.
Everything here is incompatible with the impression the church has given people in the past.
On the contrary, it made Milo feel comfortable.
…
“They said that entering the unseen land requires the permission of the bishop. I think if you are the bishop they say, then the entrance to the so-called forbidden land should be nearby.”
Milo looked around at the indoor environment.
This place is filled with a kind of decay... No, it cannot be said to be decay, it should be called an atmosphere of loneliness.
This atmosphere is more in line with the secret that Milo learned from Imnar. Scholars dug up the relics of the previous era in this ancient land, the one that was annihilated by the gods. era, thus creating a covenant organization based on the knowledge they gained, which then evolved into today's Golden Rule Church.
If what they inherited was a forgotten era, then what was buried underground were all the emotions of unwillingness and humiliation.
This also formed the humble attitude towards superiors in the teachings of the Golden Rule today.
Because, if there is anything that the contract organization can learn from a fallen civilization, there is no doubt that the biggest lesson is-don't offend the gods who are above order.
“If it were not for fear, death would not be mourned.”
It was indeed an era of mourning, because everyone was done.
...
The girl in the church never turned around, but after stopping to pray, she slowly raised her head and looked at the golden tree sculpture entwined with thorns and vines in front of her, and murmured The general tone raised this question to Milo:
"Can you see anything on the golden tree?"
"Dust." Milo replied without thinking.
"Master, don't you understand that the curtain of war has been lifted." The girl's voice came faintly from the depths of the church.
But Milo only shook his head calmly:
"Where are Daisy and Dillashaw? I just want to know this."
However, the girl in white was always talking to herself. :
“From the moment the ruins of Sumeru were excavated, the catastrophic outcome of this era was already doomed. Your vision has been broader than that of most of us, but you have never realized it. Is this true?”
“Where is the entrance to the Unseen Land?” Milo still refused to enter.
The girl made the same move as the blind nun before. She crossed her hands and leaned on her chest: "War will cause disasters, and disasters are the best opportunities for superiors to plunder faith. Or should we say that you are the same as them?" ?”
“Hey, if I had known better, I should have gotten the church’s architectural drawings first.”
Milo frowned and walked straight towards the girl in white.
However, the girl is still saying some obscure words that no one can understand:
“You are always making what you think is a rational decision, but have you ever thought about it? From that moment on in this world until now, you have never really saved anything. All the damned people are dead. What was destined to happen eventually happened. Your power is getting stronger and stronger, but you are always just a witness to many tragedies. , Bystanders, as your vision becomes clearer, you can only see more and more tragedies happening, but you can’t save anything..."
...
Milo's steps paused.
But after a few seconds, he no longer struggled with the words from the girl's mouth.
He unleashed the power of fear.
This temple was completely invaded by darkness.
In just a moment, he had already seduced the girl's dream.
What he captured was the fear of all superiors in the soul in front of him, which the church inherited from the previous forgotten era called Sumeru. …
However, what surprised Milo was that the girl did not make any move to resist, not even her subconscious showed any resistance.
It was as if she knew from the very beginning that Milo would use dream inducement to force her to reveal the entrance to an unseen land.
And when Milo grasped the source of fear in her heart, she began to convey those confusing messages to Milo in a clearer voice.
"Did you hear it? Through my soul, you must be able to hear the baby's cry this time, right?"
"You really have never doubted yourself for a moment. Eyes?”
“Wake up, chewing your tongue can make your words clearer, and only the decay of the naked eye can gain the favor of the thinking eye. True omniscience never relies on the senses, even if you are in the shadow. The same goes for you in the sequence, the truth is always the same, the error is the haze of blindness, and the wrong way of knowing. "
"Did you hear that baby's cry? "
< br>
"Have you ever had that moment of doubt?"
"No, you should have foreseen something, maybe a dream, or...in the abyss, you must have seen yourself. Child, right? Subconsciously, you already know that everything will happen, but you just ignore their existence."
...
Those words that seemed to have a strange tone, Through the connection of Meng Yin, enter Milo's mind.
He tried not to be disturbed by her.
But in fact, Milo felt that he could completely understand the girl's words.
Because, in the abyss world, Finn did become his son, but Milo never regarded this as some kind of metaphor or self-suggestion.
He always believed that everything in the abyss was false.
The only thing I couldn't let go of was the name "Tutis Crow" for a long time.
…
Moreover, the girl continued to murmur.
Milo really heard the cries of babies floating in the surrounding environment.
The cry was very natural, just like the cry of a baby that can be heard occasionally when walking on the streets of Nanwei at night from a certain residential building.
The difference is that Milo has no way of determining the source of the crying he hears at this moment.
It seemed to appear in my mind out of thin air. It was not noisy, but it still lingered.
...
"You heard it, right? You must have heard the cry of the Son of God."
"Try to save him, the unknown superior, your arrival must not be accidental, and you must be the same as him." The eyes of those shadows in the past are different. I smell kindness in you."
"Please remember that his name is Mei Gao, a child who was not born in the forgotten era. I will plunder it in this era, if...if you really have the will and confidence to fight, please face the guidance of the order..."
The girl's voice became increasingly weak and trembling.
A teardrop slid down the outline of her fair cheek.
......
But Milo still looked calm.
He did not waver at all, and still forced the other party to tell the location of the "Unseen Land".
Then he left the lonely girl in this dark church and left.
…
The so-called unseen places are, to put it bluntly, underground ruins from a forgotten era.
It is part of the ancient temple that was excavated by contract scholars when they first conducted archaeological operations in this mountain range.
The entrance to the Unseen Land is directly underneath this church.
But the entrance is located deeper in the church complex in a primitive jungle that has never been excavated by humans.
…
After leaving the dark temple, Milo immediately cut off his dream connection with the girl.
But his expression became even weirder the next second.
Because the baby's cry that was transmitted to Milo's mind through the girl's consciousness did not end when the dream was cut off.
It still lingers in the air around Milo.
Crying constantly.
"Wow...wow...wow..."
