The railcar that Leo and the others took made a half-circle around the edge of the man-made cave and stopped at a tall building that had also been transformed into a platform.

When Catherine led a group of people off the rail car, before Jason and Nelson could adapt to the down-to-earth feeling, a dozen clergymen wearing clerical uniforms, sabers hanging on their waists, and crossbows greeted them.

He came up and saluted Catherine.

This move was so eye-catching that all other people on the platform who had just got off the rail car or were about to board the rail car saw it. When they saw Catherine, they also bowed to Catherine to show respect.

Although they already knew that Catherine had an extraordinary reputation outside Cage City, the three people, including Leo, were still a little shocked when they saw this scene, and Nelson's face couldn't help but reveal a trace of shame and sadness.

At this time, a young priest among the priests with gold thread embroidered on his shoulders and strange symbols tattooed on his clothes came forward, respectfully faced Catherine, and said: "Miss Catherine, High Priest Major has known that you are coming, and has specially come to visit you there."

The Jingsi Hall is waiting for you."

Catherine frowned and said with some displeasure: "You guys at the Guards Hall have very good ears and eyes. I just made an impromptu decision to come to the parish, and you immediately knew my whereabouts."

The young priest did not refute Catherine's words, nor did he defend himself. He just looked at Catherine with a smile, as if he was ready to be beaten and scolded.

Faced with this situation, Catherine had no way to deal with it. She could only nod towards the young priest and said, "Lead the way! I haven't seen Major for a while. It would be nice to meet an old friend."

After hearing Catherine's words, the young priest led his men to lead the way. As for Leo and the other three, they were not looked down upon by these priests from beginning to end. They were like air.

Although being completely ignored like this makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Leo and the others prefer that the other party continue to ignore them like this to avoid any unexpected situations.

The elevators in this building that are exclusively used by believers are obviously much larger and stronger than the elevators outside Cage City. The strong pulling force of the steel chain is enough to allow each elevator to easily accommodate dozens of people.

The person who designed the elevator obviously understood the thoughts of the passengers. He removed the baffle facing the deep cave in the city and replaced it with railings that were not very narrow, allowing people in the elevator to slowly descend or ascend while the elevator was in use.

When you get up, you can see the scenery outside that is different from other places in Cage City.

Because there is no cover from the densely packed houses in Cage City, the light from the outside world falls from the sky and falls on the ancient and simple buildings with obvious religious symbols in the deep cave, allowing people in Cage City to feel it even without leaving Cage City.

Feel the warmth of the sun, even if it is second-hand goods filtered through dark clouds and dense industrial fog.

This kind of scenery that looks very ordinary from the outside, placed in the Cage City, known as the Steel Black Forest, exudes an inexplicable sacred aura. Anyone who sees the scene in front of them will feel that this place is a place blessed by light.

The earth is the illusion of a sacred place.

In the elevator, when Leo saw the scene in front of him, he had to admire the person who designed all this. That person's grasp of people's hearts is absolutely a master.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Catherine was not excited or appreciative at all. Instead, she said with great disgust: "In order to build this bright sanctuary, a total of more than 500,000 people living in this area were relocated and thousands of buildings were demolished.

In total, more than 3,000 people died while demolishing high-rise buildings and constructing these religious buildings. More than 50,000 people were injured and disabled, and as much as 4 million gold flanges were consumed. I don’t know if the original decision was correct?"

"Of course it is correct." Although the young priest respected Catherine very much, he still adhered to his own ideas and opinions and retorted without hesitation: "The sacrifices of the predecessors were indeed heavy, but they created us.

A refuge for lonely people, this place is not only a refuge for the body, but also a refuge for the soul. Every person in Congcheng benefits from this, and we are deeply proud to have such a bright place, and we deeply admire it.

The heroes who sacrificed their lives for this."

Faced with the young man's rebuttal, Catherine did not continue. She knew very well that discussing such issues with these priests would not lead to any results.

Soon the elevator reached the bottom floor. Two priests opened the gate and everyone filed out. Only then did Nelson, who was here for the first time, see the situation on the ground clearly. This scene made him a little surprised and puzzled.

I saw that the ground here except the main aisle was full of people. These people were all wrapped in black robes and holding a book similar to scriptures in their hands. With the faint light around them, the believers were chanting silently.

The scriptures in the book, and the sounds of these recitations not only did not make people feel the slightest bit sacred and peaceful, but instead felt very depressing and mysterious.

It would be fine if this was only the case in the area close to the steel frame building in Cage City, but the real situation is that in the entire Bright Sanctuary, there is a person sitting there in a place where people can sit, wearing a black robe, immersed in chanting scriptures.

.

In addition, some priests wearing various clerical uniforms patrolled different areas according to the colors of their clothes. Some of them took food and distributed it to the hungry believers, while others checked whether some believers who had not moved for a long time were still breathing, but

It is more about helping believers answer their questions about the scriptures.

"These are all patients?" Nelson looked at the scene in front of him and then looked at his medical bag, and couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

"You don't have to worry about running out of medicinal materials. In my opinion, none of these people are willing to accept your treatment. They are all waiting for their gods to save them from this painful world." Leo looked around with a cold eye.

The people sitting on the ground said.

At this moment, he could easily feel the despair in these people without turning on his spiritual vision.

This breath of despair was originally produced by the patients' own negative emotions. After being absorbed and transformed by the religious symbols painted on the walls and carved on the ground, they turned into negative energy fields, affecting them and causing their inner negative emotions to rise.

Intensify, and the breath of despair will be produced again, and the influence will continue over and over again until the day when life ends.

"I don't like it here." Jason, who had a keen intuition, tightened his clothes and shivered as if he was in the cold winter, and said, "It's worse here than outside."

"I don't like it here either, but some people do. For them, this is what Beirut calls the Eternal Garden." Leo said with unabashed ridicule.

Although the conversation between Leo and the others was not loud, it was enough for others to hear clearly. Even the most stupid people could feel the ridicule in it. The faces of the priests around them became a little gloomy. It can be said that

If Leo and the others had not come with Catherine, perhaps these priests would have taught these blasphemers a lesson by now.

A group of people with different intentions walked past a lawn filled with people and passed through a forest before arriving at a straight road leading to the Holy Chapel. There were two rows of tracks in the middle of the road, and a rail car had already arrived.

Waiting there, under the guidance of the young priest, everyone got into the car and drove quickly towards the auditorium.

About three minutes later, the rail car stopped. This is the square in front of the Holy Church. Like other places, it is also full of sick believers, but they are not holding a book and reading.

Worship and pray to the only statue of Aknaya in the square.

"The three of you stay here. High Priest Major only wants to see Miss Catherine." After getting off the car, the young priest immediately stopped Leo and the others and said.

Leo frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Catherine said, "I'd better go in alone! Nelson, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Jason, please take a rest here first."

Seeing that the person involved had already said this, Leo couldn't help but refute, so he walked to the side of the street and sat down in an empty space where no one was sitting. Although Nelson was worried about Catherine, he also couldn't say anything more and could only watch Catherine leave.

, walking around the square by myself.

Leo, who was sitting down, raised his head slightly and looked at the statue of Aknaya. He saw that the statue's face was so handsome that it was difficult to distinguish between male and female. It was wrapped in a very ancient robe and held a heart in its left hand.

He holds an eye in his right hand, and his majestic expression is filled with compassion and love.

In terms of statues alone, this statue is definitely at the level of a top master. Even in the Earth Federation, there are only a handful of people with this level of sculpture.

But the problem is that this statue is obviously completely different from the God with Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hearts promoted by the Aknaya Church. The church here not only personifies the god they believe in exactly according to the image that believers want, but also

It seems that the current high-level leaders of the Aknaya Church do not really believe in this God with Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hearts.

The reason why Leo made such a bold speculation was entirely based on the symbol of the coat of arms that he found on this sculpture representing Aknaya. In terms of the nature of what the symbol represents, it is completely different from the religious symbols that are scattered throughout the parish.

.

The difference in the shape of the symbols is only a superficial problem, the real difference comes from the roots of the two religious symbols.

Although Aknaya, the God of Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hearts, sounds very much like some kind of evil god, it can be inspected and verified by the Orthodox Church, which is enough to prove that the God of Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hearts is not evil, so Leo's appearance under the statue

I felt a gentle breath on the Aknaya badge symbol. But this gentle breath was like rootless duckweed. Facing the surrounding negative energy field, it was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket and could not have any effect at all.

, it can only provide some psychological comfort.

As for another kind of religious symbol painted all over the diocese, the power it generates is full of chaos and negativity, so that intuitive and sensitive people like Jason can easily feel the negative energy in it. It can be seen that if these religious symbols are real

If it represents a god, then this god is definitely an evil god.

In the name of the righteous god, he does the things of the evil god. From this point of view alone, this secret is enough to bring disaster to the entire Cage City.

After discovering this secret that was fatal to Leo himself, the rationality of Leo's deputy brain system drove him to give up his curiosity and leave here immediately. Don't worry about anything. He has obtained the king, queen and twin spirits.

Energy weapons, this trip can be said to have yielded huge rewards, and there is no need to take any more risks. Because whether it is about the internal secrets of the Aknaya Church or the knowledge of those evil religious symbols, the more he knows, the more dangerous he will be.

But at the same time, the ordinary human emotions he was gradually adapting to constantly reminded him to keep his promise, and he also felt extremely excited and excited because he could explore the knowledge and mysteries of the mysterious side of the world, thus creating a desire to continue exploring.

Strong desire.

"Forget it! I was calm and rational enough in my last life, so let's change our way of living in this life!" Leo finally made his choice after struggling for a moment in his heart.

And at the moment he made his choice, the repulsive force that had always existed in his body suddenly disappeared, and his mind and body became a little different. This feeling was very wonderful, to use a vulgar word to describe it.

, it’s like the difference between wearing a condom and not wearing a condom.

"Okay! Completely integrated! This body's current personal qualities should be able to be fully demonstrated!"

Leo felt happy when he felt the change in his body. Although he didn't understand why the change occurred, he also knew that it was a good thing.

So, he immediately checked his personal data and found that his strength attribute had increased by one point, reaching four points, his agility had also increased by one point and five points, reaching four points, and his physique had increased by 0.5 points, reaching six points.

The improvement of these three physical attributes is reasonable. What is really unreasonable is the improvement of the mental attributes. It has been directly increased by ten points to twenty points. The more important point is that the mental network skill module has been created, that is

He said that he no longer had to activate the spiritual vision skill in order to open the mental network, he could directly open the mental network.

After discovering the changes in his personal attributes, Leo couldn't wait to try to adapt to the changes in his body.

Among them, the changes in strength and physical fitness are the best to adapt to. After all, the changes are not much. You can adapt quickly by doing a few squats and push-ups.

Changes in agility are a little more troublesome, because agility involves too much content, such as action, movement, and even body flexibility, etc., which all fall under the control of agility attributes. Even though this unexpected improvement is only 1.5, it still

But it has surpassed two regular levels. The improvement is not small, and it requires a certain amount of space and practice to fully adapt. Now he can only do some simple exercises to prevent his improved physical fitness from causing trouble.

For example, he now took out some scattered bias, threw them directly in the air, and then quickly stretched and stretched his hands to grab all the coins in his hands. After he became proficient, he increased the number of coins to one hundred.

coins, assign a number to each hand to grab, or grab all the coins with one hand. With this little method, he was able to quickly adapt to the discomfort caused by the increased agility of his hands, while Jason on the side was
