Chapter 1500: The Phantom of the Temple

Strange things happened.

Father Yang has no doubts about the power of prayer. Prayer can make their voices reach heaven, but he doesn't know how the saints in heaven will respond after hearing prayers, and the holy relics of exorcism handed down 800 years ago. how will help them.

Today he and several other gray-robed men are still gathering in the company's basement, praying devoutly, they don't care how long such prayers will last, and firmly believe that the saint will not abandon the city named after him.

They sat around the statue, chanting prayers silently, over and over again, and the only humming of prayers in the basement was very quiet.

I don't know who exclaimed, and the others woke up from their prayers. At first, they didn't know what happened, but when they followed the exclamation person's line of sight, they saw an unbelievable scene.

The statues of the saint and the wolf have undergone subtle changes.

Originally, there was a light red circular hole-shaped scar on the saint's hands, feet, and under his left rib, which represented the five holy marks bestowed upon him by God's favor.

The statue faithfully restores the five stigmata.

Regardless of demeanor, just in terms of appearance, the wolf was just an ordinary gray wolf.

At this time, the saint's five stigmata were fading and disappearing, but five faint red lines suddenly appeared in the air, extending horizontally from the saint's palms, feet, and left rib respectively, matching Gray Wolf's four legs and left rib. connect them.

When the five stigmata on the statue of the saint disappeared completely, the gray wolf's four legs and the holy ribs perfectly reproduced the five stigmata, and the red line in the air also faded and disappeared, as if the five stigmata had come from The body of the saint statue is transferred to the body of the gray wolf statue.

Everyone stared at this unheard-of vision in horror, their heads were dripping with cold sweat, and their hearts were full of shock and panic. They wanted to ask others for help, hoping that others could tell them what had happened, but everyone's expression They were all equally dazed, even including the oldest gray-robed man.

Immediately afterwards, the gray wolf statue... its eyes suddenly moved.

That's right, the eyes of this stone gray wolf statue moved.

At first, everyone thought it was an illusion caused by the changing light and shadow, but there is no natural light in the basement, and the lighting is completely dependent on artificial lighting. At this time, the light is stable and does not flicker, so why the light and shadow change?

Seeing this scene, even the gray-robed man with the most steadfast faith could not help but tremble.

their devout prayers,

What exactly was summoned?

Before they could react and take any action, the gray wolf statue appeared briefly blurred, and then, a gray shadow detached from the statue, and quickly floated towards the elevator like invisible and substanceless smoke. In the smoke, there were still five deep The red dot, pull out five phantom red lines.

Due to the astonishing speed of the gray shadow, they could barely see that the gray shadow looked like a quadruped animal.

After entering the elevator, the gray shadow rose directly into the air, floating up from the ventilation window at the top of the elevator.

The young and vigorous Father Yang was the first to react. Without waiting to discuss with the other gray-robed men, he rushed into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor—no matter what it was, he had to check it out.

He took one last look at the Gray Wolf statue before the elevator doors closed.

For some reason, the statue's appearance was clearly the same as before, but it gave him the feeling that it had... lost its soul, without the lifelike feeling it had before.

The other gray-robed people were still immersed in fear and shock and couldn't extricate themselves.

Ding!

The elevator stopped on the first floor, and Father Yang squeezed through the crack of the door without waiting for the elevator door to open completely.

"Where did it go?" He yelled at the female receptionist at the front desk, "Did you see that gray shadow?"

On the first floor, there were a few ordinary people who came to this trading company to really discuss business, staring at him with crazy eyes, but he couldn't care less.

One of the female receptionists pointed to the door, "I seem to see..."

Before she could finish speaking, Father Yang rushed out of the gate.

"What the hell?"

The homeless man who was basking in the sun scratched his belly, shook his head in a dazed expression, and the next second his dirty collar was grabbed by Father Yang.

"Something ran over?" Father Yang shouted, shaking the homeless man.

The homeless man recognized Father Yang because Father Yang once gave him 20 dollars, such a generous person is rare nowadays.

He grinned. "Want my thank you, or my answer?"

Father Yang took out his wallet, without counting, pulled out a few banknotes and threw them out, "Say it!"

The homeless man simply pointed to the right, "Over there! God knows what the hell flew over me, like a ghost, or a shadow, I was shocked, but if I can get money every time, I will Willing to let anything fly past me, be it a goddamn ghost or something..."

Father Yang didn't listen to his chatter at all, and ran to the right, his leather shoes, which were not suitable for running, rattled on the road, making the soles of his feet numb.

The homeless man bent over happily. Last time he was torn between a haircut and the red-light district, and finally chose a haircut and a full stomach. After all, keeping warm is the only way to have sex. It seems that God has favored him recently and sent him money again. This time, you don't need to choose, just go straight to the red light district.

"What the hell? Which country's money is this?"

When he picked up the pink banknote and looked at the strange old man's head, his face became distorted, feeling that the deal was a loss.

Father Yang ran aimlessly for a while, turned his head and looked around with his eyes wide open while running, trying to find the trace of the gray shadow, and was almost hit by a car because of this, but he saw nothing, in the chaotic and complicated modern city It is simply impossible to find a ghostly gray figure in the sky.

However, he did not give up, and continued to run forward until he was blocked by the wedding crowd. When he looked up, it was the Cathedral of Grace that appeared in front of him.

"Did you see... some kind of gray shadow? Or something like smoke?" he asked a visitor rudely.

"Baga!" The tourist slapped his hand off, angrily turned and left.

He grabbed a few other tourists or locals, but they either couldn't understand English, or they looked at him like they were looking crazy.

There is no way to go on blindly. The gray shadow may not have run in a straight line, but has already turned a corner, and never came to the Cathedral of Grace, but he does not want to give up. If he gives up now, this mystery will haunt him for the rest of his life.

The appearance of Zhang Zian interrupted his search.

He didn't want to lie, but he didn't know how to explain what happened just now, nor could he explain why he came to the Grace Cathedral.
