Chapter 238 Church
The place where the bell rings is a church. The huge vaults and rows of buttresses, as well as the strong contrast between light and dark created by the stone curves, show that this is a church built in a Roman style.

Chu Zihang stood under the eaves of a factory and looked at the church in the heavy rain. His mobile phone was abandoned on the road and he couldn't check the current time, but judging from the time he left the subway station, it should be close to nine o'clock at night. Because of the thick clouds and heavy rain, even in summer, the sky is so dark and depressing.

According to the habits of Christianity and Orthodox Church, there will be a bell ringing from 8:10 to 5:[-] every night. This time the bell ringing means prayer or dinner, but it is still hard to imagine that in an abandoned place like Babaoshan, there will be a church that maintains the bell ringing habit.If Chu Zihang remembers well, it was indeed a place for religious believers to pray a few years ago when this place was not in decline, but now the new church has been moved to Times Square, and it can be reached by subway Line [-] , There will be no believers who will come to this kind of place.

Soon, Chu Zihang realized that he was wrong. There are still people who cherish their brooms, and there are many of them.

The bell sounded like a shepherd's flute, and groups of black lambs quietly came out of the factory buildings in all directions. They wore pure black raincoats and hid their faces in the hoods. No matter young or old, they put their hands together and prayed devoutly in their hearts. The heavy rain Walk to the church on foot.

At first glance, there are nearly a hundred "black lambs" in front of the church. They are moving forward in the sound of rain, and vehicles with license plates on the road not far behind are approaching step by step and parked on the side of the factory road. , Those who got off the car also put on black raincoats and joined the pilgrimage.

Chu Zihang leaned on the wall of the factory and looked at everything outside in silence. For some reason, his heart felt a little chilly. His eyes hidden in the darkness slowly swept over every pilgrim. He wanted to know that Kassel Whether the student's girl was also in this group, but the raincoat covered most of the faces of the pilgrims, and he couldn't find his target at all.

After a long time, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, put on the hood and walked out of the darkness slowly, blending into the crowd like a stream that belonged to the mainstream, and walked towards the majestic church in the rainy night.

After joining the flow of people, it became easier to control the current situation. Beside Chu Zihang, he noticed that the pilgrims were not a specific category of people. For example, most of the religious believers in modern cities are the elderly and young. Most people have been impacted by the Internet age and have become unbelievers. Only the elderly who are difficult to accept new information are easily captured by faith, so more than [-]% of the people who pray in most churches are elderly.

But the pilgrims around him can be seen from young to old, male to female, and the frequency is also different. It is difficult to deduce what activities are going on in the church from the general category of the crowd.Organizations that can capture such a wide range of people, Chu Zihang has probably only seen the offspring of Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes.

But even pyramid schemes should not set the gathering place in such a place. The positioning of pyramid schemes should be closed, imprisoned and brainwashed. The most important part of brainwashing cannot be mixed with such a strong religious meaning. After all, the Lord is noble. It does not stain the world, and many teachings conflict with preaching in the essential sense. No matter how hard the MLM boss is, he will not use religion to brainwash him.

Chu Zihang can only think of one possibility for an organization that dares to write and ink on religion, captures people regardless of gender, age or age, and uses this method to gather people.

Just when did this kind of organization appear in the city?

Chu Zihang doesn't know, but he is sure that the appearance of such things will inevitably have a huge impact on society, and the bad influence will make the atmosphere of the city become smoky. No matter where it is, as long as there is such a form All signs of gatherings must be completely eradicated and pulled out!
As the crowd entered the church, as expected, the bonfire burning on the wall and hundreds of candles were lit in the gloomy space. The flickering candlelight cast a shadow on the statue of the crucifixion Jesus whose head was cut off in the middle of the high platform.Everything shows the beliefs of this place. All the religious images on the carved glass have been smeared with red paint. Any objects with original Christianity have been smashed into wreckage and replaced by medieval witches. Doctor's crow's mouth mask, and skull decorations of unknown authenticity.

Every pilgrim found his place in the church and sat down in rows. Chu Zihang was no exception. He sat in the second row closest to the podium, completely hiding his face in the rain hat. People sat down one after another, without the noise of discussion, in an orderly manner, as if this was not the first time such a gathering was held.

On the high platform of the church, a strong stove burning charcoal is placed to provide maximum illumination for the entire space. The fire in the fire rises to a height of half a foot, and there are one or two people wearing red sheep's heads and black robes standing in the corner. A man with a huge bronze bell and a striker beside him.It can be guessed that they were the ones who rang the bell that rang throughout the ruins of the factory. Under the hanging bell, many pale skulls piled up to form a small hill, but each skull looked extraordinarily beautiful. It was so small that it was tied together with a rope so that it barely fell apart.

Why do students of Kassel students come to this kind of place?
Chu Zihang was confused in his heart. From the shooting incident just now to the current cult venue, everything was impacting his three views. He could only bury his face deeply in the hood to hide all the doubts. In this case, it is impossible for him to turn his head around to find the girl.

When no one entered the church, the door slammed shut to isolate the rainy night from the outside, and the blowing air disturbed the candlelight. In a disturbing silence, two men with red sheep's heads on the high platform moved up from behind the scenes He picked up a red box, with two words written in a deeper red than red on the box, which attracted Chu Zihang's attention.

eternal life.

The handwriting is scribbled, not any typeface in the mainstream, more like an essay written by someone with their fingers.

Before Chu Zihang could chew on the meaning of these two words carefully, a believer in a black robe and a wolf head walked up to him without saying a word. The stack of white cloths was placed on his lap and he left.

Chu Zihang relaxed slowly and quietly raised his head to look around. He found that many believers wearing wolf heads were distributing these white cloths. There is a layer of white cloth on it, and hands clasped together to pray quietly.

After distributing the white cloth according to the gourd, he quietly twisted the white cloth on his knees with his hands. There is nothing special about the white cloth, except for the white cloth grid. Seen through the light, the shadow looks vaguely like the hijab a woman wears when she gets married, except that it is not the bright red of celebration, but the pale color of funeral.

When the white cloth had been distributed and everything seemed ready, the bell rang again.

Two red goat men held the bumper and hit the big clock again and again. The huge and loud bell echoed throughout the space. The deafening and deafening bells in the closed room made people almost have a splitting headache. Many believers indeed bowed desperately. He bowed his back and endured the loud noises one after another, even though he had a splitting headache, he didn't reach out to cover his ears.

Enduring the torment of the sound waves, out of the corner of Chu Zihang's vision, at the corner of the high platform of the church, a surgical trolley was slowly pushed to the center of the high platform by the red goat's head, and a woman with a painful face was lying on it. The abdomen is high and swollen, and it is obvious that she has been pregnant for several months and has reached the stage of labor.

The moment the woman was pushed out, Chu Zihang noticed that all the believers in the church sat upright instantly, and the temperature of their eyesight under the black hood was instantly higher than the temperature of the flame in the stove, as if the believers were seeing God appear. He stared at the woman on the cart.

At the moment when the woman let out an unbearable howl of pain, Chu Zihang instantly realized the effect of the white cloth in his hand, and guessed what would happen next. In an instant, the veins on his forehead burst open, and his eyes reflected the deep flames on the stage. The desire for gold is strong.

The amniotic fluid breaks, and the fetus is in labor.
