The Modern Age of the Mysterious
v1 Chapter 94: Moses Penance
In the thick fog, the master in red turned his head to look at the car, and his movements stopped, as if stagnant in time.
He (she)... seems to be recalling his true identity.
He (she) doesn't know whether he is actress Katherine Haley, or the **** who has slept in horror stories for many years...
Regardless of the danger, Sean rushed out of the car and shouted at the figure like a red mountain, "Catherine, wake up!"
Moonlight also got out of the car, and he began to play a sobering, pulsating music, which was louder than ever before, causing pain in the eardrums.
In the thick fog, the master in red began to shake.
His (her) deep eyes began to flicker, and the illusion of the surrounding lake with two suns and the city of spires with a blood-colored sunset gradually disappeared...
With the awakening of Catherine's personality, the godhead of the evil **** began to dissipate, and the power conferred by her role gradually disappeared...
Sean and Moonlight could almost see Catherine's shadow in the red robe.
Suddenly, the red figure that had dissipated became solid again, and the red ragged robe tightly wrapped Catherine again...
Sean's face was hideous, he didn't want to see Catherine's soul lost: "Catherine! What are you dawdling at?!"
However, the red robe was swaying, and there was no sign of dissipating.
"Get in the car, Sean!" Moonlight shouted.
When he stopped, he would only be harvested by the "evil god" in front of him. Sean had to get into the driver's seat. His eyes were red with anger and impatience. He cursed and started the car, and continued to rush forward.
According to Catherine's previous request, Moonlight started to use her explorer playing cards to send a briefing of the situation to the emergency department of the association.
He couldn't imagine how the association would solve this sudden loss of control: "In this case, even if the Ace-class arrives at the scene, I'm afraid it won't be able to protect itself..."
Something went wrong, which made Sean's heart become a mess: "She said it herself, it's just a short-term performance, although it will have a serious impact on her, it's not a problem to get out of the role!
"how so?!"
A possibility flashed in Sean's mind: "Catherine's soul is very powerful, and the awakened part of the evil **** deity found that she could not only "play" the Lord in red...
"She can even become the channel through which the evil god's deity descends to the material world. So the godhead of the evil **** launched a counterattack, forcing Catherine's soul to admit that she is the deity of the Lord in Red...
Sean's face turned pale: "Although he has retreated to a corner of the long history, the Lord in Red has not given up any chance to return to the material world... Catherine and we did not realize that acting would actually cause the evil **** to wake up... This time shit."
In the thick fog of the rear-view mirror, Catherine at this time was like a swaying red lone peak...
The lord in red, played by her, was in a state of confusion at this time, and she just followed the car out of the spiritual realm with her basic consciousness.
Ten minutes later, the car broke through the thick fog like a small submarine rushing out of the water, and returned to the world where the air was not so heavy.
Only then did Sean see that the Thirteenth Avenue was already under martial law.
Countless believers are lined up on both sides of the avenue, like an endless mirror image with no end in sight.
They were all wearing cloaks, their faces were covered in white hoods, with a bright red circle of thorns painted on their backs.
"This is?" Sean's eyes widened in surprise. This was obviously in response to the out-of-control arrangement. He didn't expect the association's response to be so quick.
"Not from the association, these people are from the Ascetic Order of Moses." Moonlight looked at the almost identical believers in white standing beside the road - they held a thorn and vine whip in one hand, and a snake-shaped dagger with a curved blade in the other. The escutcheon is indistinct in the hood...
The Ascetic Order of Moses is the core order of the "Original Sin Sect" under the Salvation Church. Headed by one of the six saints of the divine court, it is an organization in the divine court that believes in suffering and believes that suffering can be exchanged for God's forgiveness.
"There is a big man here." A temporary high platform was built with sandbags and wooden platforms in front, and three people stood on the high platform. The man in the middle was wearing the same white cloak, but without a hood, his exposed face seemed to have been poured with melted gold, and a flowing layer of gold clung to his closed-eyed face.
There is a diamond-shaped halo on the top of his head, slightly red.
"That is one of the six saints of the Holy Court, the Lord of the Ascetic Order of Moses, the saint in charge of the original sin sect, Saint Matthew...
"He should have been inspired by God, and he was dispatched when Catherine began to play, so it was so fast."
The car stopped under the high platform and made a harsh braking sound. Sean and Moonlight got out of the car.
Sean shouted towards the high platform: "Master Saint, that's not the real evil god, it was played by our captain temporarily!"
St. Matthew walked to the high platform with the help of his cronies. His face was covered with a layer of gold, and he was unable to speak. The voice came from nowhere, and it was mysterious: "'temporarily' is not the real evil god. Soon after, Not necessarily.
"Explorers... You seem to really think that the mysteries in this world can be used at will by you...
"This is the bad result." On the surface of Rongjin, a towering red figure emerged from the fog.
Sean lowered his voice: "Lord Saint, if you can... please save her, don't hurt her!"
St. Matthew's face seemed unable to make any expression: "You have made a contradictory request - to be redeemed, only through suffering..."
Having said that, the saint raised his hand holding the cane whip, which was more than one meter long and was entwined with shocking thorns and thorns.
Suddenly, the white-clothed believers standing on the Thirteenth Avenue raised the cane whip in their hands in a neat and uniform manner.
"Only suffering can wash away our sins..."
Saint Matthew let out a breath and swung the vine whip behind his back with great force. The vine whip hit his back heavily, making a muffled sound that made Sean and Moonlight's teeth sour. The thorns instantly pierced the robe and skin on his back, and bright red soaked out...
Huh, smack! The entire Thirteenth Avenue made the same whipping sound and muffled sound.
Sean and Moonlight looked around in disbelief. They found that under the whip just now, almost all the robes on the backs of the believers were ripped off, and the white robes were soaked with blood.
"The sins committed by the world will be paid for by our suffering." Saint Matthew struck again, and this whip completely shattered the robe on his back.
The whiplash sounded again on the Thirteenth Avenue, as well as the muffled sound of the vine whip hitting the flesh.
All the believers were bearing great pain, but no one groaned or groaned.
The diamond-shaped halo behind St. Matthew's body began to rise, becoming larger and brighter, like a huge window leading to the kingdom of heaven, and also like a geometric totem symbolizing the majesty of the Holy Father. It is suspended on the avenue, exuding holy With some blood red glow.
"The Lord in Red" emerged from the thick fog like a huge wall, and the ragged red cloth twisted without wind, like countless bright red living creatures curious about the material world.
His (her) face is blurred, with only one pair of eyes, like twin suns.
Saint Matthew read the chapter from the Holy Book in his mouth, raised his arm, and his robe came off, revealing his arm full of scars and molten gold pouring wounds - he had used molten gold to stop the bleeding.
Imagining the sight of pouring melted gold on the wound, Sean couldn't help swallowing...
"With blood and pain, ask the Lord for forgiveness, and ask the Lord to perform miracles."
The serpentine blade stabbed into his arm, and someone finally made a sound under the high platform, but the sound was similar to enjoyment.
The blood flowed on the arms of all believers, but disappeared before dripping on the ground. The diamond halo behind Saint Matthew's body was dyed red, and the red light gradually became stronger, completely swallowing the darkness and dense fog of the Thirteenth Avenue. , turning everything into the color of blood, like a sunset falling beside him.
The "Lord in Red" who originally walked towards the high platform seemed to be hypnotized by the huge red diamond halo and stopped all movements.
It was only then that Sean discovered that the position of the arm of "The Lord in Red" also had the same scars as those of the ascetic.
"Let powerful beings share their own pain, is this the ability of the Moses Ascetic Order?" Although it is not yet the complete and true "Lord in Red", it is already a terrorist threat above the Ace level~www .lightnovelpub.net~ Outside the quest system, the court has its own ability to resist mysterious risks.
"After all, it is the supreme theocratic institution that rules Newlander, and its strength is beyond doubt..."
Sean suddenly discovered that Saint Matthew had put the serpentine dagger against his chest...
If a saint inserts a dagger into his chest, he himself will not die under the protection of God, but not for those low-level believers.
Moreover, due to the mysterious power of the Ascetic Order of Moses, Catherine, who was hidden in the body of the "Red Lord", would also die.
"Master Saint!" Sean shouted, "Maybe..." He originally wanted to delay time, but suddenly remembered something and said loudly, "I don't have to sacrifice so many lives, I have a way to wake up my companions! "
On the white robe on the chest, a little red smeared, and Saint Matthew's arm stopped exerting force.
The arm holding the dagger dropped, and blood was thrown on the high platform: "The lives of the brothers and sisters of the Ascetic Order should not have been consumed like this...
"We can stop it for ten minutes." St. Matthew's face was angular in the red light, "After ten minutes, we will continue to cleanse this huge sin...
"Besides, your safety is not covered by our guarantee."
"Sean," Moonlight looked uneasy, "Do you really have a way?"
Sean remembered the angry look of Catherine clutching her collar after she came out of the spirit room on Central Avenue: "She saved me. I must save her."
He stared at the stagnant "Master in Red": "This is still just an appearance, the evil **** will not come so easily."
"That's Catherine in 'the costume', she just forgot herself temporarily... I'm going to bring her back."
