Chapter 500: Behind Him (3)
“What’s wrong? Worried about your brother?”
My mother was always paying attention to Liu Sheng, so naturally she also noticed her frequent turning back.
Liu Sheng nodded and said, "Yeah... I feel uneasy now."
This sentence was like an introduction, triggering what his mother would say.
"Yes, there are more and more strange things happening in the town now. What do you think..."
Before my mother finished speaking, she was interrupted by her father. His voice was stern and stiff: "Don't talk nonsense. With the protection of God, as long as you are pious enough, nothing will happen!"
"But why do people die every day in this town?" Liu Sheng asked directly without fear because of his special status.
In Liu Sheng’s inherited memories, murders have occurred one after another in the town in recent days, with some dying at home and some falling on the street. There are also missing people, whose bodies are probably buried in the deep snow.
But everyone kept it secret and just asked the church to take the body away for burial, so Liu Sheng wanted to test his father's reaction again.
"That's because they are not pious enough!"
As expected, my father didn't want to say anything, and his voice became louder and louder. This was a precursor to rage. As a member of the church, he could not accept anyone questioning God's incompetence.
"You are about to become a priest, and you must not have any other ideas." As his father said, he turned his head suddenly, not even looking at the road ahead, and stared at Liu Sheng with a livid face.
This frightened the mother, who turned pale, and hurriedly patted her husband’s arm and exclaimed: “Look at the road! Ahead!”
Driving in the snow is inherently dangerous, even though my father put the wheels on No snow chains, but in this dark night, anything could happen.
His father also knew this, so he gave Liu Sheng a warning look and looked forward.
However, it was too late...
The car suddenly hit something.
My father's face turned cold for a moment. Without saying a word, he held the steering wheel tightly and drove straight past without stopping.
The mother screamed, then covered her mouth tightly, leaving only a pair of frightened eyes staring ahead, not daring to look back.
"Don't look, don't look, don't look..."
Liu Sheng heard her mother's mumbling, so she didn't turn her head to look directly, but a small heart popped out from the back of her head. Eyeballs.
I saw a dark thing lying in the snow. If I looked carefully, it seemed to be a person with a broom in his hand, as if he was sweeping the snow just now.
The blood on the top of the head seeped out slowly, dyeing a small patch of red on the white snow.
But no one around them paid attention, or they just swept away the snow in front of their doors, as if all this was normal.
Immediately afterwards, another car roared past, crushing the body, and blood-red sprayed in the snow.
Liu Sheng’s heart tightened.
The car turned and was no longer visible.
Liu Sheng withdrew her gaze and looked deeply at the backs of her father and mother's heads, her eyes even deeper.
The center of the survivor town is the church.
At this time, there were many vehicles parked in front of the church, and there were even more people who couldn't afford to drive, so they walked through the wind and snow from all over the town, wrapped in cotton-padded clothes, just to participate in today's event.
The snow around the church has turned into a dirty mixture of black mud and sewage due to the trampling of wheels and crowds.
Liu Sheng got out of the car and walked to the church with his father, who looked pious and indifferent, and his mother, who was still trembling.
The closer you get to the church, the weaker the wind and snow become, and you can even feel a subtle warmth.
But Liu Sheng can be sure that there is no sacred atmosphere in it.
In other words, although this is a church, there is no presence of God.
【So, they need to choose a priest? How can we get closer to God? 】
【But there is no god, how to choose a priest? 】
【Isn’t this an endless loop? 】
Full of doubts, Liu Sheng looked around. It was estimated that almost everyone in the survivor town was here.
Then Liu Sheng couldn't figure out why Andy wasn't allowed to come. There were obviously many people of his age present.
[Perhaps they are afraid that he will cause damage. After all, jealousy can easily make people do extraordinary things. 】Liu Sheng analyzed it this way.
Before Liu Sheng entered the church, her mother forced her to take off her outer cotton clothes, not worrying that her daughter would feel cold.
But because of this, Liu Sheng was recognized as someone participating in today's selection as soon as she entered the door. Together with other shivering girls wearing only white skirts, she was led to a small room at the back of the church. .
"Wait here first before going out until the ceremony begins." A woman in white clothes who looked to be in her thirties said with a somewhat cold attitude.
According to the saying here, she is a divine attendant.
Liu Sheng nodded and thanked him, passing by the divine attendant, but he felt something was stuffed in his hand, wrapped hard in a smooth coat, it seemed to be candy or something.
The eyes popping out of the palm confirmed that it was a piece of chocolate. In the cold night, chocolate is a rare thing.
Looking back at the guiding divine attendant, I saw that she didn’t even look at Liu Sheng, as if everything just now was just Liu Sheng’s illusion.
Only the chocolate in the palm of my hand can serve as proof.
But Liu Sheng naturally would not recognize each other here.
There were at least a dozen girls in the room. They all looked to be about the same age as Liu Sheng. They were wearing all kinds of white skirts. They were shivering from the cold and their faces were pale. Better.
But obviously because they haven’t eaten for seven days, they are all wilted, leaning or lying down to save energy.
Liu Sheng found a corner to sit, looking around coldly, and quickly noticed a girl who was different from other girls.
The girl had dazzling blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and a slender figure. Although she was trembling slightly due to nervousness and weakness, she had a unique temperament about her.
Also, it looks familiar.
It seems to be...
Liu Sheng was still trying to remember, when a brown-haired girl walked straight over, her eyes did not shift to anyone else, and she looked at Liu Sheng steadily.
As they walked up to the front, their eyes met.
"Shengsheng, you're here." The brown-haired girl smiled slightly.
Liu Sheng also smiled.
Although the appearance is different, she can still feel that this is Wen Weilan through the bond of soul connection.
Wen Weilan sat down next to Liu Sheng, leaned weakly on her shoulder, and said in a whisper: "My name is Karen now, what are you?"
"Beatrice."
"I don't know how other people are doing..." Wen Weilan said with emotion.
“Maybe it’s not like you who can figure out who you are so quickly.” Liu Sheng said.
“Fortunately, I have the ability you gave me, Shengsheng.” Wen Weilan said gratefully.
Suddenly, something was stuffed into her hand.
"You can eat it later, I don't need to eat it." Liu Sheng said softly.
Wen Weilan felt warm in his heart and hid it in his clothes.
Looking at Liu Sheng’s face, which was now a bit naive and different from the past, Wen Weilan couldn’t help but smile secretly.
It’s been a long time since I felt like fighting side by side with Shengsheng.
Really, I miss it a bit.
After leaning quietly for a while, Wen Weilan said again: "It seems that there are no other companions at the scene."
"The role distribution here should be based on our age and gender." Liu Sheng analyzed.
"In this case, these girls should all have just turned eighteen. Among our group, we are the only ones who meet the requirements." Wen Weilan thought thoughtfully.
Liu Sheng nodded silently. Ling Yuke was a few years younger than them. I'm afraid she couldn't participate, so she wouldn't appear in this room.
However, according to this grand occasion, almost everyone in the town came, and there was a high probability that their companions were among them.
【The probability reaches 99.98%. 】The voice of the world emerged at the right time.
[World, can you deduce now, where is the cracking point of our high-dimensional analysis? 】
【This high-dimensional analysis is related to the divine corpse. ]
[So...]
Liu Sheng's eyes gradually locked on the blond girl.
Wen Weilan noticed Liu Sheng's gaze and asked in a low voice: "Did you notice it too? She looks like..."
"Well..." Liu Sheng nodded slightly.
Needless to say, all they were thinking about was "that divine corpse".
“It’s rare that Shengsheng you are not face-blind.” Wen Weilan was a little surprised.
Liu Sheng heard bursts of laughter in her heart, and even heard the sounds of the world inside.
"Of course, that look... is still hard to forget." Liu Sheng said with a slightly red face.
Recalling the appearance of the divine corpse, although it looked riddled with holes, it could be seen that it looked good.
"What's her name? It seems rare." Liu Sheng couldn't find the information about the blond woman in his memory.
"Karen" Wen Weilan also shook his head: "She seems to have come to this town alone. Her family is said to be gone, so she is very withdrawn. I didn't expect to come here today."
Liu Sheng was silent, looking at the figure of the blond woman thoughtfully.
