Chapter 499: Behind Him (2)
This magnificent, bright, dark and twisted dream finally left only nothingness and a blur...
Then, Liu Sheng’s dream was interrupted by a burst of The shaking was interrupted.
"Get up, Beatrice, or you will be late for church!"
A low but urgent voice came from my ears.
Liu Sheng struggled to open her eyes, and what she saw was an old and tired face that was enlarged and pressed against her eyes. The red hair was withered like a dry rose, and the face was covered with wrinkles. Only the pair of green eyes were shining. With a burning light, he stared at Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng sat up and a concept came to her mind - the person in front of her was her mother.
According to memory, Liu Sheng is now called Beatrice Anderson. She has both parents and a younger brother who is two years younger than her and is a nuisance.
The mother's tone was gentle with a hint of anxiety: "Get dressed quickly, you don't want to be late, right?"
Liu Sheng's eyes swept across the bed and saw a white long dress. Neatly placed there, it looked rough, but at least it was white.
She remembered that today was an extremely important day.
According to the revelation of the divine book, seven days after the day of the divine descent, the selection of priests will officially begin.
The chosen person will become God's representative in the world, and assume the important task of conveying God's will and protecting the world. Only in this way can the endless cold nights be driven away and bring light and hope.
The news of this selection has already spread from the church, and only girls over eighteen years old are eligible to participate.
And Beatrice Anderson just turned eighteen a few days ago.
This allowed her to suddenly transform from the neglected eldest daughter in her family into a high-profile "light of hope", gaining attention that too many parents had not paid for more than ten years.
After his mother left the room and gently closed the door, Liu Sheng slowly got up and changed her clothes.
The dim oil lamp flickered with faint light, reflecting the simple room - except for a bed and a table, there were almost no other items.
But in the cold night, it is good to have a house of your own.
This is thanks to her father being a rare craftsman in this survivor town.
Before the cold night came, he was an ordinary maintenance worker with no social status. Unexpectedly, after the cold night, he would become so popular. At least the family would not have to worry about food and clothing.
A tentacle extended from Liu Sheng's hand, and eyes grew out to look at him. He could see a red-haired woman in his field of vision.
He also has messy red hair, a face full of freckles, and a pair of big green eyes, bright and alert.
【Like my mother. 】
She retracted her tentacles and pushed open the door. Liu Sheng saw that her father, mother and younger brother were already eating breakfast in the small kitchen.
My father is a serious middle-aged man. Time has carved deep wrinkles on his face, and his gray hair makes him look particularly old.
However, due to the sudden improvement in status, the originally rickety back due to years of hard work has straightened up a lot, and the thin figure before the cold night has become a lot more muscular, especially the belly.
As for the younger brother Andy, he is a red-haired boy with freckles on his face, a bamboo pole figure that is unique to teenagers during their growth period, and a noisy voice.
Their breakfast is a simple bacon omelette.
Although simple, it is enough to show that the family conditions are good.
[At least I can eat pork and eggs on a cold night. This world is incredible. 】
[According to Beatrice’s memory, someone in the town was breeding them in a greenhouse. 】
【It seems that the original breeding technology level of this world is not low, so it can do this. 】
[In addition, there is the blessing of "God"...]
But Liu Sheng quickly noticed that there was no breakfast for her on the table.
"You still can't eat today, remember?" Mother raised her head and reminded, "Before the priest selection, you must purify the turbid air, and you can only drink water within seven days."
"Yes, mother." Liu Sheng bowed her head in response. road.
[Fortunately, we entered in the original body. Although we were assimilated into Beatrice's appearance, we are still energy bodies with no need for food and sleep. 】
【Otherwise, based on what she said, she would probably have starved to death, right? 】【This selection... seems to be a round of screening of those who are destined to be tough. 】
Liu Sheng sat down silently and drank the purified water that was said to be brought from the church. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his younger brother Andy holding back a bad smile.
While my parents were clearing away the tableware after eating and were not paying attention, they quietly handed a piece of bacon under the table and whispered: "Sister, you may not be able to choose anyway, do you want to eat a piece of my bacon?" What? "
[This guy seems to have bad intentions. ]
[Although I really want to eat it...]
[It seems that he is not willing, and his sister was chosen. 】
Liu Sheng was not hungry in the first place, so of course he would not fall into the trap, so he glanced at the bacon he held on his fork and shook his head coldly.
Andy was obviously disappointed, but he immediately had no intention of teasing his sister, because as soon as his mother turned around and noticed his little move, she immediately twisted his ears angrily and said, "How dare you destroy our family?" A good thing?”
“She won’t be chosen anyway!” Andy shouted unconvinced. .
"Your sister is so pure, how could you not be chosen?" When her mother heard what Andy said, she slapped him in the face.
Immediately, he knelt on the ground and prayed nervously, mumbling words, as if praying to God to forget what Andy said.
Andy covered his face, his eyes filled with hatred.
But his father just glanced at him coldly, and he immediately put away this expression, sat with his eyebrows lowered, and quietly continued to eat the bacon and eggs that he had smashed on the plate.
After praying, Liu Sheng watched her mother begin to bite her nails.
Her nails were stained with blood, and her nails were all bloody.
But for such a mother, the whole family seemed to be familiar with it. They didn't care about her at all and almost chewed their own fingers.
This world is a little strange.
I didn’t expect that the world behind the Divine Corpse would be like this. She thought she would appear directly in a high-dimensional world, but she didn’t expect that she would be in such a strange place.
Looking at the race and cultural customs, it looks a bit like the Western empires I have read in books.
Faced with such a completely different world, I don’t know what other people will do.
While she was thinking, her parents were already urging her to leave the house.
Andy clamored to go, but his parents did not agree.
"Remember, don't open the door casually, even if it's someone you know." Mother also warned.
Andy pouted rebelliously, but a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he nodded silently.
As soon as he left the house, Liu Sheng immediately wrapped his cotton-padded jacket tightly around him.
The wind and snow are howling outside, the sky is dark, and the streets are covered with thick snow.
Several families were wrapped in coats and clearing the snow. The dim yellow light shone through the windows, outlining the snow-white outlines of the houses, like cold urns.
The cold wind was biting, and there was only a thin white skirt under the cotton-padded jacket. If it weren't for Liu Sheng's special physique, she wouldn't be able to bear it, but now she still had to disguise herself and wrap up her jacket tightly with trembling.
The mother immediately hugged her and said nervously: "Be careful not to catch a cold."
Then she said: "Otherwise it will affect the selection of priests."
< br>Father remained silent, walked to the door and started the car.
Liu Sheng got into the car and felt the slightly warmer air in the car.
The car energy in this world is different from her world, but some kind of fuel. Moreover, this car can only run on the ground and cannot fly.
As the car started, Liu Sheng couldn't help but look back and saw Andy's face still pressed against the window, looking like an abandoned puppy, with a face filled with disappointment.
Someone had already very considerately helped to clear the snow in front of their house, the driveway was very clean, and the car slowly left the driveway and entered the street smoothly.
Suddenly, Liu Sheng felt something in her heart. When she looked back, she found that Andy's face had changed. It was like a flattened rubber mask pasted on the glass window, extruding a twisted and raised face. smile.
