book of old days

Chapter 236 Spirit Planting Ceremony
In the afternoon, Sean came to the dark alley area before two o'clock. The place was as dark and dilapidated as ever, exuding an unpleasant smell.

Sean wandered around twice, but he didn't have any clue. John Smith must have been here before, but he didn't know where he and Ulysses met. In the end, Sean chose the place where he and Ulysses came first. The tavern where he met for the first time, he felt that the old place probably referred to this place.

Walking into the tavern, looking at the drinkers inside, Sean couldn't help muttering, could these people be from Ulysses?

He wanted to test it, but he didn't know how to speak.

I can only order a glass of beer casually, don't drink it, and just sit like this.

Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to three o'clock, but there was still no sign of Ulysses, Sean couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Could it be the wrong place?

Forget it, let it be like this, if I really found the right place, Ulysses would definitely show up, if I made a mistake——that would save trouble, and I would just tell Ulysses to quit.

After experiencing a series of encounters in the God Realm, and obtaining the task given by the supreme will, he is now too lazy to waste time on others.

Seeing that it was 55:[-], a bell suddenly rang far away, and the guests who were drinking all stood up in an instant, and walked out in silence.

Sean was taken aback, and while he was hesitating, a somewhat familiar boy came in front of him, who seemed to be called Jack or something.

To Sean's surprise, after not seeing him for a few days, Jack has grown a lot taller, and looks almost like an adult.

His body is not as thin as it was before, but looks solid and strong, full of heroic vigor.

Sean wondered if his memory had become disordered again. He remembered that he was obviously very thin back then, why didn't he see him for a few days...

"Lord Sean, hurry up and follow, the ceremony is about to begin."

Jack's voice was still that boy's voice, and he seemed to be very familiar with him, so Sean hurriedly followed.

This kid also joined Ulysses' plan?Why would Ulysses recruit such a man?He didn't dare to ask, because he was afraid of revealing his secrets.

The two hurriedly came to the street outside the tavern. At this moment, the crowd was all moving in one direction. Some of them were expressionless, just smiling, while others looked restless and excited. They were in small groups Yes, through dark alleys...

The windows on the side of the street were closed one after another, and Sean noticed that someone seemed to be observing all this from a crack in the door.

But Jack seemed to be very familiar with the route, shuttled through the crowd, and Sean followed closely behind. He could feel a strange atmosphere gradually permeating the street.

The crowd gathered more and more, and when Sean came to a secluded square, it seemed that the surroundings were already full of people.

Tramps in shabby clothes, hooligans in black jackets and narrow-leg trousers, skinny factory patients, and many other strange-looking people, they are undoubtedly the bottom of the city, marginalized people, almost garbage discarded by society.

However, hundreds of people gathered here at this time, but there was an inexplicable solemn atmosphere. No one spoke, and everyone just stood there, as if expecting something.

Sean Ang was dazed, and noticed that Jack in front was waving at him, and Sean followed Jack through the edge of the crowd. At the end of the square, on a wooden platform used for hanging, stood a row of mysterious black cloaks. People, their faces covered with hoods, looked mysterious and eerie.

Ulysses stood there impressively, he was the only one who showed his face, with a faint smile and kind expression typical of cult leaders.

Jack quickly put a black robe on his body, and threw him another set. Sean also put on the black robe, and the two of them walked into the group of mysterious people and stood with them.

Sean looked at everything around him with some anxiety and surprise. Isn't Ulysses holding some kind of cult party?So many people, are they going to riot?Armed Revolution?

But when I looked at the people around me, I didn’t think they looked the same. Although there were a lot of people, none of them looked like they had any fighting power. They didn’t even see a few weapons. Fort police and patrols put it down with ease.

This is an important military location, the location of the arsenal, and the defense force is very strong.

Just when Sean was wondering, Ulysses had already started.

"Ah, my poor countrymen, you have come here again, to this dark and decaying square, to me, and I know what you are expecting, you want to be saved, you want to escape from the present This miserable fate, you want to be free from pain and hunger."

Don't be ashamed, it's everyone's right to have power, the lords are taking your land and your dignity, the factory owners are taking your health, you're dying, everyone knows what I'm saying is, but it doesn't have to be.

Now I have brought the hope of redemption, a gift, an opportunity, and you will be free from all pain and suffering, as long as you give your loyalty and trust..."

While Ulysses was speaking, Sean was observing the people around him.

Leaving aside the people in black robes, the people around are clearly divided into two types. One type of people has a slight smile on their faces, and the expression is exactly the same as Ulysses, while the others are looking at Ulysses with strange eyes. Sith, hope, doubt, and a twisted longing.

A homeless man with one leg crippled, one eye blind, and so thin that his ribs could be seen limped out of the crowd.

"I've had enough, I've had enough, let me out of the pain." He fell to his knees in front of Ulysses, weeping bitterly.

"Don't worry about my child, you will be relieved." Ulysses stroked his forehead and cheek, like a kind old father, he calmed the man's emotions, and the hand of the man in black beside him Take something from the tray.

That thing looks a bit like some kind of pastry, or some kind of meatball, not much bigger than a bottle cap, the meat is red, and I don't know what it is made of.

"Eat, devour this holy wafer, chew this gift, this is the blood and flesh of the gods, it will bring you strength, save you from hunger and pain, heal your body and mind, and enlighten your spirituality."

The homeless man swallowed the meatball in one gulp, and just a few seconds after he swallowed it, he suddenly held his throat and mouth made a strange sound, his body twitched, his limbs struggled, almost twisted, his body was bent, Stretch out again.

This process lasted for more than ten seconds, and after a while, he finally calmed down.

There was a murmur in the crowd.

Suddenly, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and he stood up like a dragon and a tiger. His pale complexion was filled with the breath of life at a visible speed.

The blind eye now has a new eyeball, and the broken leg, making a strange sound, has straightened.

His cheeks became plump and rosy, and his muscles hardened.

What was originally a ghost-like thing that was almost a walking dead turned into a living person in the blink of an eye.

This miraculous change was completed in just a dozen seconds.

"How do you feel my child?"

"I feel great, sickness - gone, hunger - gone, God, what's wrong with me?"

"You're saved, boy, and you're one of us now."

People exclaimed, looking at the homeless man with a new look, but there was no longer fear in their eyes, only yearning.

Ulysses opened his hands, "Come on children, compatriots, feast on this sacred flesh and blood, accept this gift, your salvation is today."
