Chapter 482 Cyber ​​Nun and Electronic God

With a soft creaking sound, the old and decaying wooden door was pushed open by Dr. Zanbai who gave off a red light.

Delphinium followed Russell and the old man and walked in cautiously.

She rarely comes to Cyber ​​Church...or, in fact, Delphinium has only come to church once before this.

That time it was because a former colleague of hers from the Special Execution Department died in the line of duty, and that colleague no longer had any relatives...

Delphinium had just become the head of the Special Execution Department at that time. In the end, the only one who could attend the funeral was Delphinium, who was not yet twenty years old at the time.

——Only one person.

She personally watched the priest conduct the funeral ceremony, talk to the deceased and say goodbye.

Then I watched with my own eyes the remains of my colleague who had been torn apart by the demon, put back together, sewn together, poured with oil, and burned to ashes. Then let her hold the urn for burial...

During the entire funeral process, there was only one person.

There is no mourning for relatives. There is no mourning music played.

Only the bad guy appeared faintly outside the church, and silently lit a cigarette for himself in the drizzle. The bad guy was only in his early twenties, and he was just a rebellious teenager who had been in a long period of rebellion.

Delphinium didn't cry either.

Because she is actually not familiar with this colleague.

And this sense of alienation made her feel embarrassed... She only felt as if she was wrapped in a smoke-like, light-black cloud of sadness, leaving her speechless and unable to use her strength.

That incident deeply shocked Delphinium and had a great impact on her subsequent management methods. In a sense, it even affected her personality - because her blue shift and red shift did increase by one level due to this experience.

At the same time, Delphinium has also cast a considerable psychological shadow on the Cyber ​​Church.

Every time she saw a church building on the street, she would think of that day - think of the weight of the not-so-heavy urn in her arms, remember the shape that was still a bit heavy on the chest, and the lack of edges and corners of the urn. Tiny wood thorns that have been completely smoothed. There was also the thin drizzle that day, and the unspeakable sadness.

This time she entered the Cyber ​​Church on another empty island again, and she smelled the same smell in the church hall.

Delphinium frowned, sniffed, and sniffed the air carefully.

She was able to confirm that it should be a slightly sour smell that was reminiscent of lemon peel or light white vinegar... It was not something flattering like a perfume, but a slightly sour taste that was refreshing. If you look carefully, there is a smell that cannot be detected by ordinary people's sense of smell, which is close to the smell of new furniture that has just been decorated and the formaldehyde has not been completely dissipated; at the same time, it is mixed with a slightly bitter smell that reminds delphiniums. After the rain, the smell of pine needles fell all over the ground.

It was exactly the same as the smell she smelled on Happy Island!

Only then did Delphinium realize that...it was not the spices used in funeral ceremonies or cremation sites, but a special incense used uniformly within the church.

And melodious and soft singing also came from the church.

It was just like the hymn they heard at the airport - except when they first got off the airship, the hymn they heard seemed to be thousands of choruses, overlapping together in a very clever way, creating a rather unique sound. Resonance of the sacred. But the hymn she heard now only contained the voices of three people... After the mix became weaker, the outline of the human voices became particularly clear.

Looking along the sound, Delphinium saw the three nuns.

Wearing black, loose nuns' robes, they knelt at the front of the hall, interlaced their fingers on their chests, and sang hymns with their backs to the crowd.

Unlike the streets outside, there are no idols or symbols in this church. Only above is a giant network center like a hive.

It has thousands of mung bean-sized indicator lights, which are flashing golden-green light at different frequencies. Less than one-tenth of the indicator lights were off and did not flash; there were two lights that were always on with a dangerous red light.

The three nuns all wear black eye masks on their heads, just like the VR glasses Russell uses when playing games.

And it did seem to be some kind of VR equipment, but Delphinium didn't know what they saw.

Delphinium just discovered that there were several transparent data cables connected to each eye mask, all the way to the ceiling above. The side of the eye mask has the same style of indicator light, which is flashing with golden-green light as the hymn is chanted.

And in these transparent data lines, golden-green streams of light are constantly emerging, and the frequency is the same as the indicator lights on their goggles.

These streams of light are like weak fireflies, constantly flowing out of these VR glasses, then flowing to the network center above and gathering together.

Although Delphinium had no idea what it was used for, this did not prevent her from feeling a sense of shock mixed with mystery and technology.

"Are you curious?"

Looking at Delphinium who was staring blankly at the nuns, Russell put his hand on Delphinium's shoulder.

"Want to try it?"

"……Eh?"

Delphinium turned around and was stunned for a moment.

It took her a while to capture the relaxation that only she could realize from Russell's kind smile that seemed to have never changed.

Isn't this a joke or a joke?

"I...can I do it too?"

Delphinium was a little cautious for a moment, but also felt a little expectant.

Since arriving at Sogo Island, Delphinium has seen so many new things that she has never seen before.

The past few years of experience in the Special Enforcement Department have made her character very calm. Delphinium is always the most reliable person in the Special Operations Department. He can be trusted by his colleagues under any circumstances and will never slip up. There are very few things that can make her look like a girl of her age again.

"Of course, this is not limited to nuns. In fact, this is also one of the contents of helping in the church. And if you have to say it, it is quite healing... When I felt tired before, I would come here to pray."

"Can you sing hymns too?"

"Yes. It's not difficult, because you will be able to sing by yourself...your body will move on its own. You don't have to worry too much about being out of tune, because it's calibrated."

Russell scratched his head in distress: "Of course, I have learned it because I have sung too much. Without plugging in the line, I can still sing along... But if you let me sing by myself, I might not be able to do it." Out of tune or forgetting the words.

"Let's not mention those..."

Russell turned around and looked at the two old men who had already sat on the chairs and looked at the nuns, and asked Delphinium to sit over.

This is the kind of bench that is common in churches. Facing the nuns, you can close your eyes and rest and pray. Each seat can accommodate two people, just enough for Russell and Delphinium.

And except for the two Dr. Zanbei and the three nuns... After the family walked in, they discovered that there was no one else in the church, which was not actually a small one.

The old woman named "Brain Island" said to Russell warmly: "We invited you here this time because we have encountered some... problems that are not easy to deal with."

“Is it Sogo Group or Sogo Island?”

"It's Sogo Island."

The old man added gently: "The God of Beauty asked me to explain to you that it was not the instructions of the Three Sages that brought us here. It was the suggestion of Director Sally Ruth."

"...Teacher."

Russell looked bitter, knowing that this matter was definitely going to be troublesome again. After all, if the matter were a little minor, it would definitely not be Sally Ruth's turn to come to him.

But at the same time, Russell felt relieved.

Because this way, he doesn't have to carefully consider and decide his position. After all, his mentor was kind to him... Since he had something to ask for, Russell would definitely not shirk it without endangering the personal safety of himself and Delphinium.

"What is it? Let's talk about it."

Russell sighed.

It was originally a "business trip" excuse for asking for leave to travel and fish, but I didn't expect it to actually come true...

The old lady directly said something that puzzled Russell:

"Do you believe in...'werewolves'?"

This is the first chapter, there will be a second chapter during the day...

I accidentally fell asleep in front of the table while I was typing! ! I’m so sleepy right now, so I’ll write one chapter first, then get up and continue tomorrow… The second chapter should be posted around dinner tomorrow!
