Chapter 19 Religion (Seeking Collection)
Since discovering this survivor camp, Aaron has almost given up on everything in the territory, dreaming every day and watching everything with rapt attention.
On this day, he witnessed the biggest dispute in the sanctuary.
The cause of the dispute seems to be the evolution of monsters and the shortage of food.
...
"It can't go on like this!"
A blond-haired man screamed fiercely, and he waved his arms wildly, as if trying to increase his persuasiveness, and on a few occasions he threw onto Aaron and went straight through.
"Those monsters are getting stronger and stronger, and the food we can get is getting less and less. If it goes on like this, everyone in this shelter... will die!"
He told a cruel truth.
"Sauron, what are you going to do?" Xiu asked calmly, pulling the two children behind him.
"Relocate! Relocate to the north. I heard that there is already a larger gathering point. They have extraordinary power! It's safe and food is abundant!"
Sauron answered without hesitation.
"The group from the north?" The people in the shelter were a little commotion, as if they had heard the news before.
"Yes, among them, there are even supermen who can kill dangerous species with their bare hands!" Sauron said: "We can get the same power by joining them!"
"Those evil believers who call themselves the 'Black Sun Cult'?" Xiu sneered: "I heard that they will burn people alive as sacrifices!"
"So what? In order to survive, you have to give up something." Sauron suddenly grinned: "He's there, he's in the sky, he's watching us... Don't tell me, you never listened Been to those... oracles!"
Aaron was startled to hear it. He only heard some ravings when the Black Sun and those terrifying beings were born, and then he never got the information again.
But looking at the expressions of everyone in the shelter, they seem to be able to hear it occasionally?
"Yes, the dark sun is over our heads, but I don't hear the 'invocation', just a chaotic roar, and raving like a madman... When I resisted it, I never heard it again pass."
Xiu sneered: "Are you sure you want to worship those crazy things? I can guarantee that the black sun in the sky must not know that there is a Black Sun Religion on the ground..."
"You're right, Black Sun doesn't need us, but that doesn't prevent us from worshipping him."
"Just as the sun doesn't want to nurture all things, it simply radiates light, and the gods don't want to inspire believers. He just naturally radiates power, and we pursue his path, his radiance, and seek refuge."
A solemn and solemn voice suddenly sounded outside the shelter.
Aaron looked over, and saw three men in black robes standing outside the shelter, all of them crumbling like a resurrected skeleton.
The sentence just now was said by the leader of the three, an old man with a lot of weird tattoos engraved on his bald head.
"The people of the Black Sun Cult? How did they find this place? Sauron! You betrayed us?"
At some point in Xiu's hand, a flintlock gun had been added, pointing at the old man who was talking.
"My child, lay down your weapons, and the Black Sun will forgive you."
The old man had a gentle smile on his face: "You are right, the Lord of the Eclipse doesn't care about the beliefs of the ants, but such an existence, just the light and heat naturally radiated, is enough to shelter me, we are all just... ...the poor people trying to survive in this cruel world."
"quibble!"
Xiu moved his bearings and leaned towards the window, as if he was waiting for an opportunity to escape.
But the old man didn't take out his weapon, just smiled and looked at everyone: "The black sun needs offerings, and the black sun needs sacrifices! Only through suffering can you achieve greatness! Foolish lambs, you will one day Understand that the dark sun is the savior of everything!"
"The glow is gone, never to return, the dark sun comes, the bells linger, everything perishes, and I stay!"
Behind the old man, the two men in black robes opened their hands and began to chant strange incantations.
Their language seems to be an alien language, and it seems to be mixed with some strange words, which Aaron has heard before, the supernatural language in the black babble, which makes people fully understand the meaning.
At this time, this language seems to have a strange power.
A black wind blew toward the shelter.
This wind seemed to have life, restraining Xiu who wanted to escape, and even prevented her from pulling the trigger.
Xiu's expression instantly became extremely painful, her eyes were bloodshot, and there were blood vessels crawling around the edges of her ears, as if she was suffering some kind of torture.
As for Ike and Lin, they fainted in an instant.
...
"Is this... a spell?"
Aaron didn't feel the slightest bit. Looking at this scene, his eyes became extremely complicated: "The real supernatural power, the extraordinary power that can be mastered! These religious groups... are a bit interesting!"
Although it sounds that these mysterious sects are spontaneous organizations that have been inspired, there is no doubt that they have achieved some achievements on the road of constantly approaching those terrifying existences.
When the incantation stopped, there was no one standing in the shelter.
Even the traitor Sauron was also stunned.
The old man's warm eyes swept over, and for some reason, this sanctuary with no one gave him a strange feeling.
It seems that there is another person or 'thing' that casts the line of sight.
He didn't stay for a long time, and ordered: "Take everyone away, we will have another group of brothers and sisters in our sect."
Soon, many believers in black robes came from all directions. Their expressions were solemn, and they were carrying comatose survivors and supplies. The occasionally exposed arms and necks had hideous burn marks...
A fully loaded convoy set off immediately, even the high priest did not notice that an invisible ghost was following behind the convoy.
...
in reality.
Aaron woke up with a playful expression.
Suddenly, he opened his mouth and uttered a series of strange syllables: "The radiance is gone, it will never return, the dark sun comes, the bells linger, all things perish, and I stay!"
This is the spell he remembered, and there are several pronunciations that challenge the limits of human beings.
But under the action of [Extraordinary Memory], it was still recorded.
"Lord Lord?"
The door opened, and the maid Daly rubbed her eyes and looked at Aaron with a bewildered expression.
"It's okay, you go out first!"
After dismissing the maid, Aaron sighed: "Even if you learn the same thing, it won't work at all? Could it be that... this world is really a world without demons?"
He felt a little frustrated.
Perhaps, it is impossible to be immortal in this world.
