Chapter 656 The unexplorable taboo

Althea held the crossbow and walked in the corridor on the third floor.

The whole mansion is very big, it seems to have five floors. Most of the rooms have closed doors, tightly closed, and they are all locked from behind, as if nothing is allowed in. There are only ajar and painted Only through the snake's door can one enter.

And as the ghost king embryo showed obvious hostility, even the ajar door with a snake painted on it was firmly closed, as if for fear that something would run in.

Althea put a brown ring on her hand, then raised her hand and pointed it at the stairs. With a bang, the wooden stairs shattered.

She didn't know if this could delay the rocking chair, but... she could only take one step at a time.

The corridor on the third floor was very quiet, as quiet as death. Not only were the corridors not lined with dead bodies like on the second floor, on the contrary, there was nothing in the corridor on the third floor.

Deep in the corridor, there is a rusty full-length mirror.

Even so, staying on the third floor still makes people feel an indescribable uneasiness, as if the darkness here is particularly dark, and there seems to be lingering vicious resentment in the air. In comparison, the second floor filled with dead bodies seems It's more pyrotechnics, more... human.

Silence filled the third floor, and Althea leaned against the wall, breathing rapidly.

The nearby full-length mirror was empty.

She suddenly had the illusion that the Ghost King embryo had left.

crunch...

Suddenly, there was the sound of something trampling on the wood on the other side of the stairs.

Althea stared at the source of the sound with bated breath, and then there were more and more creaking sounds, as if something was going upstairs, but she had clearly shattered the entire staircase.

Physiological cold sweat broke out on the back of the princess's hands.

She held the crossbow and pointed it forward.

Slowly, the sound stopped. It seemed that the stairs she smashed had an effect. The ghost king embryo was confined to the second floor...

The third floor was quiet again, and the shadow in the corner didn't seem as scary as before.

Althea's eyes drifted to the stairs on the fourth floor. After finding nothing strange, she slowly withdrew her eyes and subconsciously turned her head to look at the stairs on the third floor.

However, the crossbow in her hand was fixed in mid-air, and her whole body froze.

In the full-length mirror deep in the corridor,
A ghost baby sitting in a rocking chair was showing a pale smile.

.............................................

.............................................

The dizzying feeling came again.

"Lord, have mercy on us."

Eden murmured imploringly.

In an instant, a familiar feeling came over me.

When the vision flooded into his eyes again, Eden was sure that he had arrived in the future.

"W-Who are you?! What person?!"

A lady-like woman screamed,

"Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Not long after the woman finished screaming, she suddenly fell back under the sound of Eden reciting ancient words.

Eden let out a deep breath and helped the pagan woman to the dressing table. He used mental shock to make her comatose for a while. It is estimated that when she wakes up, she will regard his appearance as an hallucination.

"I...came to the future again."

Eden looked around and found that he was in a mansion.

This mansion seems to be different from the mansion I had at that time. This mansion only has four floors, and the locations of each room are completely different and do not correspond at all, but the plot should be the same plot.

"Althea..."

Eden muttered the name,

"God, have mercy on her. I hope she's okay."

Eden felt that as long as Althea didn't have an accident in the short period of time before he completed the time travel, everything would be fine when he went back to the past.

According to previous experience, no matter how much time you spend in the future, when you return to the present, you will arrive at the same point in time.

In short, the "now" time has been suspended, and time will continue to pass until you leave the future and return to the present.

After returning, the experienced Eden is certain to defeat the ghost king's embryo.

But what if something happened to Althea in the short period of time before she completed the time travel, that would be terrible...

"Lord, don't let that happen."

Eden prayed silently.

Although Althea said that she was not afraid of death, how could she watch her die...

After sorting out his mood, Eden decided to leave the mansion.

Judging from the clothes on the noble lady, Osenko would undoubtedly become a pagan city in the future, so for the convenience of movement, he took some clothes from the mansion and changed his original clothes.

Although stealing is not good and is undoubtedly a crime, Eden has no other choice at the moment. He can only apologize to the owner of this mansion in his heart and leave a note and a gold coin.

"Having said that, my actions in the past can change the future... If I can compensate the owner of this mansion by changing the future... forget it, there is too little maneuverability."

As he walked out of the mansion, Eden came up with this idea whimsically, but he quickly rejected it.

Although actions in the past can change the future, who can guarantee that their changes in the future will actually achieve the desired results?
A single move can affect the whole body. What if the intention is good, but in the end it leads to bad consequences?
What's more, if you act unscrupulously because you can travel to the past and change the future, wouldn't you be able to commit crimes in the future with peace of mind in the end?

Eden walked out of the alley and found a high point to overlook the city. There was no doubt that Osenko had fallen into the hands of the pagans, and in this royal city, the church that originally stood had been transformed into a huge and towering palace. Lecture halls, streets and alleys were all crowded with pagans, and not a single trace of true religion could be found in the entire city.

The Fahora sect is the source of this pagan religion that believes in the King of Kings. It is to be expected that the royal city of Osenko will become like this.

"I want to go to the Lecture School..."

Eden made up his mind;

"We need to find out more information, especially...that kind of pale evil spirit."

The ghost king embryo that was summoned by the shamans due to the interpretation of the gift scroll was very similar to the evil spirits he saw in the Prophet's Abyss. They were different from ordinary devils, spirits, water ghosts and other evil spirits. Their spirituality was extremely powerful. And it has a strong corrosive ability. When I faced this evil spirit twice, I felt my soul twisting and trembling.

Since I have seen this kind of evil spirit in the Prophet's Abyss, then paganism is very likely to be related to this kind of evil spirit, and it should record how to deal with this kind of evil spirit.

Walking through the streets, because Eden had changed into pagan clothes early, no one noticed this man who did not belong to this era. Soon, he came to the door of the Lecture Hall. The city's Lecture Hall looks majestic and majestic even from a distance. When viewed up close, it is even more gigantic and awe-inspiring.

This is not the first time that Eden has been to the future, nor is it the first time that he has entered a pagan seminary. Now, he is already familiar with how to play a knowledgeable pagan bachelor.

No matter which religion it is, people always prefer those who use reason to study scriptures and theology, rather than those who believe blindly. Although there is no theoretical distinction between the two, they often remain theoretical.

With his exquisite interpretation of a few verses of scripture, Eden was received by the chief priest of the Lecture Hall. After some greetings and blessings, Iden went straight to the library of the Lecture Hall. Because the chief priest was busy with work, he sent a A deputy priest accompanied him.

"I once heard that some... pale evil spirits were found in the abyss of the prophet."

While flipping through the books in the library, Eden pretended to mention it casually.

"You mean...dead soul?"

The deputy priest looked astonished.

"Even such a sacred place...is it actually corroded by evil spirits?"

Eden raised his eyebrows, knowing he had come to the right place.

"Yes, a dead soul... I have never heard of this thing in my hometown. Maybe that place is too remote. Can you tell me in detail, what exactly is a dead soul?"

Eden's remarks did not arouse the suspicion of the deputy priest. In some remote towns and villages, some people did not even know that some of the scriptures of the Giant King Sect were actually scriptures of the true religion, let alone the dead souls. and the Dead Soul Sickness.

"The Dead Soul Disease... is a terrible disease, or... a curse. There is a sentence in the scriptures: 'The pale curtain falls, and the beasts speak blasphemous words.' Those scribes all interpreted this as 'the pale... The Veil' is interpreted as the Dead Soul Sickness, and...the pale shower that brings the Dead Soul Sickness."

Eden knew that the scriptures mentioned by the deputy priest came from the Giant King Cult and described the scene of the end of the world again.

He captured the key word - pale shower.

In the sacred scriptures of the True Religion, the figure of pale showers also appears. It is mentioned in it that when King Sabo abandoned God and established a new god, the scripture said: "The color of the rain is pale."

The heavy rains and great floods that destroyed the world at the end of the world are also described as pale colors. The source of this color is the original will.

"Did the Pale Shower bring the Dead Soul Sickness?"

Eden was puzzled, then paused and said covertly:
"Forgive me... I have only seen pale showers in scriptures... The rain that falls in my hometown has no color at all."

The deputy priest nodded and continued:

"I've never seen a pale shower either, I've only heard about it.

I have also read a lot of speculations in some books about why the pale shower brings dead souls... Yes, this is it. "

As he spoke, the deputy priest pulled out a book with a dusty cover from an extremely inconspicuous location at the bottom of the bookshelf.

Eden took a closer look and found that the book had neither a title nor an author's signature.

"This book...is called "Di Chi Sumenda" and is written in the Bolu language. The original meaning of this word refers to "The Crossed Road" and can also be translated as "The Crossed Road of the Soul."

The deputy priest lowered his voice and glanced at the door from time to time.

Eden realized that this book was not ordinary.

According to my own experience, this book may have been written by a heretic within the sect.

It is precisely because the author of this book is a heretic that the title and author's signature have been erased.

"Its author... I don't know his full name. I only know that people call him Leben. He is a heretic, a very talented heretic, and he is famous for his study of the reason of the soul."

The deputy priest introduced quickly,
"Of course, I despise him, I despise him very much, but... what he wrote is actually very reasonable, and I occasionally learn from it. All in all, in this book, he used various materials to speculate that the Pale Shower will not be possible at the beginning. It brings the Dead Soul Disease, but I don’t know since when, the pale shower contains people’s souls. Think about it, what will happen when two or even more souls appear in the same body? Situation? Leads to madness, doesn't it? Add to this the fact that exposure to pale showers itself brings about changes in life, and this madness is bound to be aggravated beyond the comprehension of any normal person.

His research overturned many previous judgments. Most of the holy servants believed that his words and deeds had constituted heresy and had shaken the sacred authority of the King of Kings in people's hearts. Therefore... he was expelled from the Temple of Kings. "

Through the deputy priest's words, Eden roughly figured out something about the situation of dead souls. He took the book from the deputy priest's hand and couldn't help but ask:
"What happened to the man named Leben?"

"Later... later he returned to his hometown and continued to travel and give lectures, and then decided to go to the far north to explore the truth about the Dead Soul Disease..."

The deputy priest hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"Rumors say he went mad before he left for the Far North."

"crazy?"

"Yes, he became a madman. It is said that he cried all day long, went crazy, and often jumped into dirty muddy water, saying that he wanted to wash away the filth on his body."

"But why...why are you crazy?"

"...I heard...that he explores taboos."

When the deacon said this, he lowered his voice and glanced towards the door.

"What taboo?"

Eden asked curiously.

"I don't know if you have heard of it..."

After confirming that no one was coming, the deputy priest said word by word in a very low voice:

“…God ​​created the way.”

...............

The wind... seemed to have calmed down, and everything suddenly fell into a wonderful silence.

Eden was stunned, really stunned.

No word could accurately describe his mood.

He felt a little messy, confused, puzzled, and at a loss... After a long time, he finally said:

"Ah...that's too terrible. It's really heresy."

Then, he saw that the deputy priest looked at him a little strangely.

"What's wrong?"

Outside of Eden he doubted himself and felt a little nervous.

"Bachelor...have you never heard of the path of divine creation..."

The deputy priest asked, showing a friendly look.

After a while, Eden nodded awkwardly.

I thought he had discovered something wrong with me, but after a long time, he turned out to be a country bumpkin who had never heard of the Divine Creation Path.
