I am God Chapter 368: : God is just my name
It was raining lightly, but fortunately this was a cobblestone road, so it didn't look muddy, on the contrary, it looked cleaner because of the washing of the rain.
This is a rich area in the B&R district, and it has not been established for many years.
Originally, this place was just an open space on the opposite side of the river outside the city. After the Moon Eclipse City was divided into the capital city, it was also expanded into the Moon Eclipse City.
The buildings here are all new, and the people who live here are all wealthy businessmen.
Of course, this is not considered the most high-end residential area in Eclipse City, after all, the priests of the temples and the nobles of the kingdom are always the highest in the world.
A snake-man in a long gown with a belt and a waterproof cloak leads several people across the street.
Finally.
They stopped in front of a closed courtyard where no one seemed to be entering or exiting.
And the windows at the height of this building just happened to be able to see the cemetery across the river.
According to the investigation, Keaton quickly discovered many incidents of body theft, some of which can be traced back to several years ago; and recently, there have been some bizarre disappearances.
However, these cases have no beginning and no end, and no one investigates them.
Finally.
It became an unsolved case.
Following the line of the recent body theft, he found out that there was something wrong with the grave guard in the cemetery; then he followed the line of the grave guard and found out here.
According to the cemetery keeper, he will quietly transfer the fresh corpses to the other side of the river in a small boat at night, and some strange people will come to receive them.
Based on investigation, Keaton found this strange building.
It is said.
It looks dilapidated during the day and the door is never opened.
But when night falls, some strange figures with hidden figures will suddenly appear inside the building.
This has caused a lot of weird rumors in the vicinity, but few people really believe it.
Keton ordered a few people to guard the exit and entrance, and he was going to enter it to investigate the situation and confirm whether it was a place where evil and corrupt corpse eaters gathered, as the gravekeeper said.
A person said to Keaton: "Master Keaton."
"It is said that there will be people partying here at night, but no one has ever seen anyone coming in and out."
"This is weird!"
Keaton replied: "So there should be some secret passage or way of getting in and out that is not known to the public, and those people can get in and out of here without being seen."
"But the premise is that what that guy is telling the truth."
That guy, of course, refers to the gravekeeper of the cemetery.
Katon carefully climbed over the wall and entered the yard, and activated the magic spell: "Spell to silence the sound."
It made him move without a sound at all.
He turned around in the wide yard before entering the building. He immediately found traces of people's activities in the building, but he couldn't see a single person.
Following the traces of those activities, he found the entrance to a cellar.
Then follow the cellar into it.
He found a very wide space below, and saw many figures.
The center here is arranged as a magnificent banquet hall, with a long table on the top and many round-footed benches in the style of snake people; snake people usually sit on it, The tail wraps around the tall round feet.
The carved pillars in the hall support the top, and there are wooden doors and passages around it.
The underground seems to be the gathering place of the other party, and the upper part is just a place to hide people's eyes and ears.
"Hurry up."
"Is the location ready?"
"The people here today are big figures that you can't even imagine. If something goes wrong, it will not be punished."
"Be more serious."
Keton took a look and found that these people were all powerful; but they were all entry-level apprentices, and they were no threat to him.
They seem to be preparing for a ceremony, but they haven't fully started yet.
It seems to be waiting for real guests to arrive.
Keton pushed open a wooden door next to it, and he could see clay pots of the same size on the shelf, which exuded a disgusting smell. Keaton almost couldn't spit it out after opening it for a look.
Inside are a pair of human eyes, soaked in some kind of liquid, so they don't rot.
At this moment, someone passed by suddenly, and Keaton immediately held down his Book of Witch Spirits, ready to cast divine spells anytime, anywhere.
But the other party is obviously passing by, and is not ready to come in.
"Why hasn't the chief arrived yet?"
"It should be to pick up that big shot."
"Who the **** is it that you want the chief to pick you up in person?"
"Don't guess, just wait."
Katon waited until there was no movement outside, then opened the door and walked out.
He leaned on the pillars to hide from sight, and entered several rooms.
Finally.
He saw an apparently locked room and magically opened it.
In the room, Keaton also saw a lot of books; he picked up a book on the table, which contained the secret rituals of the Corpse Eaters.
"Corpse Esoteric Cult?"
The first time Keaton heard about this existence, it sounded evil.
After looking through the books, I found that they were full of knowledge about doctors.
What are the functions of different human organs and what is the secret of the human body.
If you look at these alone, this book can be called a medical work.
But what follows is beyond words.
"After God created the wisdom species, each wisdom species has extraordinary blood in their bodies; as long as they can find a suitable method, they can devour the power of others."
"And this method is the secret scripture I compiled."
This passage alone made Keaton feel creepy.
He froze in place, not daring to open the next page for a long time.
He seems to be able to guess what the other party said is the appropriate method.
After Keaton opened it, it turned out to be the indescribably evil ritual he had imagined.
This book.
Awesomely teaching people how to gain extraordinary power by eating their own kind.
What's even more frightening is that this is not a fantasy.
The other party obviously succeeded.
There are also some pictures in the book, even if it is just a few simple strokes, it makes people feel indescribably crazy and depraved.
Flipping to the back, there was something that made Keaton dumbfounded.
Because the above material is no longer human.
The person who wrote this book actually summoned the monsters in the abyss through rituals, and then used them as ingredients; it's just that this method is too expensive, the cost and danger are too high, and the other party has not tried it a few times .
Keaton couldn't imagine.
What kind of crazy existence is able to come up with such a method and make such an attempt.
He turned the book to the end. At the end of the book, the person who wrote the book painted a picture that does not exist in this world.
It is a star burning with a raging flame.
However, when the picture depicts this star, the angle is very strange. The star should be in the sky, which is a kind of angle of looking up; but in this painting, the star seems to be in the dark bottomless ditch.
Looking closely, you can also see thousands of figures howling among the flaming stars.
It's like being boiled in magma, struggling in a frying pan.
The more you look at it, the more it makes your scalp tingle.
There is a line below: "The Lord of Purgatory wields a flaming whip, looking at us hungrily above the burning stars, waiting for us to enter the kingdom of purgatory."
"Did you hear it? His belly roared like thunder."
"The corpse eater will suffer its curse, we eat people, he eats us, this is fate."
The word fate at the end seems to be written crookedly, as if the writer was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the pen when he wrote this line.
He discovered the secret of the corpse eater, compiled this secret ritual of the corpse eater, and even arrogantly used the monsters in the abyss as his food.
He proudly wrote his great achievements in the book, but at this moment he suddenly discovered that a more terrifying existence had already been staring at him.
From the moment he tasted the forbidden fruit, the curse followed him like a shadow.
In other words, all his power is a curse in itself.
Keaton noticed the name: "The Lord of Purgatory?"
After Purgatory was born, it finally began to appear in front of the public.
The person who wrote this book used him to describe this existence.
Obviously, at least in the eyes of the other party.
This is a god.
Through this book, Keaton really felt the difficulty of this corpse-eating secret religion; he had already confirmed many things, but the things described in this notebook were far beyond what he had expected before. Too much, and he wanted to get out of here immediately.
As long as the location of the other party is confirmed, the next step will be easy to deal with.
It just so happened that the other party should have a meeting at night.
He had already made up his mind. Immediately after he went out, he would mobilize the power of the witch spirits, temples, and guards to uproot this evil secret sect.
Katon came out from the door, and he could see that there were more people outside.
He had no choice but to use a divine spell again to hide his figure.
Divine magic is a good thing, and it can achieve various effects when used. However, for some powerful beings, using divine magic will attract the attention of the other party and become a flaw.
He passed through the pillar and quickly headed towards the entrance he came in.
When Keaton went out, he saw several snake men carrying a crystal coffin down; inside the crystal coffin was a woman's body frozen, which was the stolen body he was looking for at first.
The daughter of the fern leaf family, a family of gods who have declined.
Looking at the corpse, Keaton suddenly felt nauseous. He wished he could catch all these people immediately.
"Hateful!"
"These disgusting degenerates."
Keaton is faster.
It's just that he didn't expect that just after he came out of the tunnel in the cellar, there were several people waiting for him above.
A masked existence stabbed Keaton from behind with an extraordinary dagger, and black light surged from it.
Keaton reacted quickly and immediately used Wu Ling's most iconic ability.
"Virtual and real transformation."
Katon's figure suddenly turned into nothingness, escaped from the fatal blow, and he immediately wanted to rush outside.
But another masked existence blocked him, and that person was holding a delicate white scepter; but upon closer inspection, it was found that it was carved from a bone.
The other party seemed to know Keaton's identity, and called out his name as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Master Keaton."
"You don't want to be your judge, what are you doing here?"
"But since you're here, don't think about leaving."
With a wave of the opponent's white skeleton scepter, a stream of black power turned into streamers and enveloped Keaton from multiple directions.
And what's even more terrifying.
A black terrifying shadow on the ground also attacked Keaton.
Keaton's expression changed instantly, and he immediately recognized the power of the Sealing Law.
"Third-order authority?"
Keton pressed the book of witch spirits in the shape of a law code, and immediately summoned his own spirit of written contract.
He knew that he was not the opponent's opponent, and immediately wanted to use the power of the code to suppress the opponent, although the spirit of the code of the Ten Thousand Snake King's Court is not very powerful.
"I am in the name of the Code."
"Convict you guilty and give you trial"
But as he was reading, Keaton suddenly stopped.
He looked at his hands, black spots appeared one after another on his hands and body.
The masked man holding the skeleton scepter couldn't help laughing, and said to Keaton.
"Young man, don't touch other people's things casually, do you understand?"
"It's poisonous."
"It's the poison refined by the abyss monster, you didn't feel it!"
Katon is a witch spirit who stays in the wasteland all year round to study, and he doesn't really spend much time in the world.
He has a lot of blood, but it is obvious that he is inexperienced in many areas.
Or it is because some parts of him are too immature that he has this passion.
Katon looked at each other: "You degenerates who devour the same kind, you will be judged in the end."
The black shadow on the ground stood up, tearing Keaton apart.
Several members of the Corpse Eater Secret Cult gathered around, as if they wanted to fight for something.
But found out.
The other party left nothing behind.
Watching Keaton disperse like fly ash, several people were very strange.
"What is this?"
"There is no body after death."
The chief of the Corpse Eater Secret Cult: "This is the witch spirit."
A corpse eater from the Corpse Eater Secret Cult said to the chief: "Chief!"
"This place has been discovered, is it unsafe, should we evacuate quickly."
The chief immediately refused: "No, we'll talk about it after tonight."
"This Keaton is dead, and I've dealt with all the outsiders, so we shouldn't be discovered so soon."
"And this evening is very important, that person will join us."
"So there must be absolutely no problems tonight. We must successfully win over the other party. Once we miss it next time, the other party may change his mind."
The eyes under the mask of the head of the Corpse Eating Cult are completely different, becoming more ambitious.
"After waiting for tonight."
"We are completely different."
----------------------------------------
Not too far from the highest governing hall, there is a magnificent palace.
The walls are high and heavily guarded.
This is the palace of the King of Ten Thousand Snakes, but as the King of Ten Thousand Snakes has gradually become the symbol of the King of Ten Thousand Snakes and no longer holds power, this palace has become as if it has become the symbol of the King of Ten Thousand Snakes. No matter how stalwart.
An old snake man with white hair is holding a book and is explaining the contents of the book to a young man.
The contents of the book are the epics of the ancient times, about how King Alpens implemented reforms, took over the royal power from the ancient fire guardians, and established the city-state of Suinhor.
It tells how this ancient hero became the first king of the snake people.
"The gods have chosen King Alpens."
"Under the divine power is the king's power."
"The king is the person chosen by the gods, and no one in this world can replace the blood of the king."
The old snake man is a Suinhorn, and even a former **** attendant; but because of an accident, he can no longer use magic, so he left the temple and became a A well-known scholar.
And the young man who is listening is the King of Snakes, Akmanmon.
Old Snake was hired as the teacher of the King of Snakes, certainly not by accident.
And the King of Snakes chooses such a teacher.
It's certainly not an accident.
When Akmanmon was still a ignorant child in the arms of his mother, he had already been pushed to the throne by the times.
His father died tragically during the expedition to the Lei Ze Kingdom, and General Dark Moon took the opportunity to seize power.
He became king in a daze.
Someone told him that he is the supreme king of the Ten Thousand Snakes Court.
He was also told that he was not a king, but a puppet.
He was very angry, and he even scolded the other party loudly, saying that he is the master of this country.
But when he really stood in front of General Dark Moon, he was just a child and could only stand tremblingly when he saw the man who led thousands of troops and horses to conquer everything came from a distance on a ground dragon. in his shadow.
According to the other party's thinking, say what the other party ordered him to say.
His mother once wanted to regain power and even planned a coup.
Then.
He died of an inexplicable illness.
Without any support, he could no longer resist. He was dragged away from home and came to this strange city, living in this strange palace alone.
News are constantly coming from outside, talking about how great the Dark Moon General is, and what brilliant victories he has achieved.
Only later.
Darkmoon is dead too.
He thought that his nightmare was gone, and he ran to the gate of the palace excitedly, thinking that he could escape from the opponent's imprisonment.
But even if An Yue died, he still couldn't even get out of this door, and couldn't escape from this cage.
His childhood was spent in tragedies and power struggles, in a prison called the palace.
The old snake man saw that Ackerman was in a daze, and felt that the other party might be moved by his words.
He approached a little closer and whispered comfort to his student.
"Your Majesty, as long as you wish."
"The crimson believers will help you regain power."
"If you have God's protection, you can get back everything that the King of Snakes deserves."
Ackerman raised his head: "Teacher, can you make me a powerful person?"
It seems that this is not the first time that the young King of Ten Thousand Snakes has asked such a question, which makes the old snake man a little helpless.
"There are two ways to become a powerful person in this world. One is to be born with talent, and the other is to be born with an affinity for the power of God."
"Your Majesty, none."
"Power and power, sometimes you can't have both."
He seems to be persuading the King of Ten Thousand Snakes that once he has power, he should stop trying to gain power.
In fact, in the era of the Sanye people, there was also a way, the gift of power.
However, this magical technique originated from the Creator disappeared along with the Sanye people.
Akmanmon was not impressed by what the old snake man said, but he didn't refute directly, but just said something softly.
"Right without strength"
He did not say the last sentence.
"That's just another kind of puppet."
Ackermanmun thought of Dark Moon again, the dark knight who came from afar with power.
That was the first time he understood when he was young.
How intimidating a person with power is, that is the deterrence that comes from the soul.
Only with power can one obtain true freedom, and the things one possesses truly belong to one's own.
His teacher had finished teaching for the day, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.
He approached Akmanmon and looked at him worriedly.
"I heard."
"The daughter of the Jue Ye family had an accident and was buried a few days ago."
"Your Majesty, please don't be too sad."
It was said to be an accidental death, but it was actually suicide.
Ackerman has reached the age of marriage, but a person like him cannot decide who he will marry. Everything has been arranged long ago.
A "best fit" person will marry him, and then proceed to arrange his life as a puppet.
As for the daughter of the Jue Ye family, she was the person Amon liked before and was also his maid in the palace when he was young.
It's just that the other party seems unable to accept this reality.
After being expelled from the palace, he chose the ending of suicide.
Ackermann, the king of snakes, seems to have everything, but actually has nothing.
Just a loner.
The young King of Ten Thousand Snakes looked calm and calm at first, but the moment his teacher said this, he saw that the King of Ten Thousand Snakes held his breath.
His neck was stiff, and his veins could be seen bursting.
He wanted to say something, but he seemed unable to even speak in this state.
The old snake man thought there would be a sound of venting, but he picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of water and put it down.
Then Ackermann said calmly: "I already knew."
"Mortals can't escape the shackles of death, this is fate."
The old snake man looked at Akmanmon, opened his mouth, and finally sighed.
A king naturally needs to be able to endure what ordinary people cannot.
After the old snake man left, Akman walked into his bedroom.
He changed into a cloak and left the palace by a hidden passage.
He got into a car that had been arranged a long time ago, and when he reappeared, it was in the house where Keaton had discovered the problem during the day.
Akmanmon also entered the vast underground hall wearing a mask that could only cover the upper half of his face.
At this time, the chief with the scepter walked up to him and saluted him.
"Dear guest."
"We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Ackerman said: "Are you ready?"
The chief of the Corpse Eating Secret Cult nodded: "According to your instructions, everything is ready."
Ackerman walked into the hall, everyone stood up and saluted him and the chief.
Akman came to a secluded ceremony hall and saw the crystal coffin placed here.
Supernatural power seals the corpse inside, bringing it to life.
Ackerman stood in front of the coffin without saying a word for a long time.
After a long time.
He opened the crystal coffin and touched the other person's face.
Bending down, kissed the forehead of the corpse.
I can't feel any temperature, only cold.
The head of the Corpse Eater Secret Cult asked Akmanmon again: "Are you ready?"
"Do you really want to do this?"
"We can choose better and fresher materials for you, so that they are worthy of your identity."
Ackermann nodded: "Yes, I only want her."
Under the control of the head of the Corpse Eating Secret Cult, a ceremony started.
In the ceremony.
All the blood of the woman in the crystal coffin was drained, and the other party turned into ashes and dissipated.
The bright blood followed the veins of the crystal coffin, refined with the power of the ceremony, and finally gathered into a bottle.
The banquet has begun.
A group of noble figures sat on both sides of the long table.
As for Ackermanmon and the chief of the Ghoul Secret Cult, they sat at both ends of the long table.
This is a well-prepared corpse-eating ceremony, and the table is placed with ingredients collected through rituals and extraordinary power.
The head of the Ghoul Cult stands up.
"Come on."
"Let us share this feast of stepping into the extraordinary."
"From this day forward, we are one."
Ackerman raised his cup and drank the red liquid in the cup.
The sides of the long table.
Someone couldn't wait, hungry and thirsty to eat the flesh and blood on the plate, chewing voraciously, for fear of missing a piece.
It seems that it is not the first time someone has participated, and they are skillfully using the tableware, as if no one else is around.
Some people looked at the others and seemed to be hesitating, but in order to gain the power beyond the ordinary, they swallowed the food on the plate with restraint of gagging.
Just.
No matter what it looked like at the beginning, after taking this taboo step, it will sink into madness all the way until the end of purgatory.
Under the flickering lights.
Create the most terrifying picture.
This is the crazy night banquet of the corpse eaters, this is the evil gathering of the fallen people, under the delicate masks are ugly faces swallowed by desire one after another.
Ackerman drank the blood from the cup, which also symbolized eternal darkness.
A touch of bright red from the corner of the mouth slowly flowed down.
Ackerman couldn't tell what it was like at the moment, he could only laugh with those crazy people, and finally went crazy together amidst the laughter.
Nobody knows why they laugh, but when one person laughs, the others can't help but laugh together.
Laughter seems to be the outlet for all emotions.
Laughing loudly can express ecstasy, and laughing bitterly can express sadness.
Among the laughter, Akmanmon suddenly felt that his consciousness was constantly being pulled away, as if out of his own brain.
He heard many whispers, as if someone was communicating in the air.
He awakened his power and was able to hear the undisguised inner voice of others.
And this time.
He suddenly heard a familiar voice speaking to himself in his ear.
"I am dead."
"I can't be with you either."
Ackermann laughed wildly and kept tapping on the table.
"Look, aren't we together forever?"
-------------------------
Keaton's funeral was held on time.
It's just that Keaton's body was not buried, but some of Keaton's commonly used items.
The place where he was buried was the cemetery where Long and Keaton had gone together.
Witch spirits are different from ordinary life forms. They are a kind of existence that can transform from reality to reality. Because they are impregnated with the power of the gate of truth, their bodies can be transformed into ghosts to a certain extent.
Usually, they look similar to living people and can be touched; they also need to eat and drink, and they need to get married and have children.
But once dead, they dissipate completely.
The funeral is over and everyone has left.
Long stood in front of the sarcophagus with a dull expression.
He still couldn't recover.
"Keaton."
Long never thought that after the last farewell, it would become a forever farewell.
Long wants to find the murderer who killed Keaton, and he wants the murderer to pay the price.
For the first time, he felt so accurately that the victims under the court longed for the other party to be punished.
But Long didn't know who did it.
Even Keaton's death was told by the teacher.
Su Kebu is far away now, and even the funeral is attended in the form of the spirit of the contract, and it will take some time before he can come back.
Long's teacher Su Kebu told him.
The opponent borrowed the power of the abyss to defile Keaton's spirit, so Keaton was unable to return to the kingdom of God in the form of a soul body, and could only go to the Creator's fantasy star sea in the form of a dream of life.
So even Su Kebu didn't know how Keaton died.
Although it is said that someone can send a letter from the Rainbow Tree to the Fantasy Star Sea; but no one has ever heard that there is a letter that can be sent back from the Fantasy Star Sea.
Long walked out of the cemetery and walked along the street.
The figure of Keaton seemed to appear in front of him again, as a judge, Keaton ran around this jurisdiction time and time again.
"I feel that I am maintaining the order of this place and becoming a symbol of justice and fairness in B&R."
Long hit the wall with his fist, and said bitterly.
"Why."
"Why should a good man like him die?"
At this time, a voice came from the window on the wall.
"Hello."
"Please don't block the sun from the window, my master likes the light coming in from the window."
Long immediately stroked the wall, as if this would smooth out the trace left by the punch just now, although there was no trace in the first place.
He said in a hurry: "I'm sorry, I'm leaving now."
The other party replied: "It's okay."
Long looked up, and saw a person playing with a fern.
The man stood in front of the window sill and could only see the part above his chest.
The other party was wearing a strange burqa with strange patterns on it, and his face was not quite like the usual Ten Thousand Snake King's Court.
He didn't see it.
There was also a figure in a white robe sitting in the room.
In other words, he clearly saw it with his eyesight, but his consciousness didn't dare to print that figure.
Long just apologized and left in a hurry.
After he left, a tall girl in a skirt came out from the depths, and came behind the white-robed figure sitting in the room.
Sheila looked outside: "The city looks so prosperous, but it also has unimaginable dark corners."
Yin Shen is very calm: "No matter what era, it is composed of light and shadow."
"When the light falls on the earth, shadows are born with it."
Sheila didn't understand: "Humans, are they really complicated existences?"
A figure in a white robe: "Isn't it because of this that they are human?"
"It is precisely because of the raging desire that talents can create miracles one after another, making continuous breakthroughs impossible.
"But also because of this raging desire, they are also trying again and again on the edge of darkness, wandering endlessly in self-destruction."
"If they are all like goblins, then ten thousand years or ten million will not change much."
Sheila looked at God because she was also a goblin.
"God!"
Yin Shen raised his head: "So I like goblins very much, but as a human being, there are naturally rules and ways of existence."
"The problems they create themselves, they solve themselves."
"Everyone has a role to play."
Sheila knew from the very beginning that he would not take care of this kind of thing. The world has its own order, and every place has black and white.
And she gradually figured it out.
The devastation wrought by those mortals is but a dappled shadow in the light, a ring of order.
And if Yin Saishen made a move, the order in the world would be broken.
Regardless of his original intention, it may be that the scorching sun falls to the earth and evaporates everything.
Even if it is only his will, one look, it is destined to reverse the direction of history.
Sheila asked God: "God!"
"Are you also playing the role of God?"
Yin Shen said lightly: "God is just my name."
"Sheila."
"The word itself has no meaning, it is just convenient for you to call me, just like Yin Sai."
Sheila: "But because of you, He has meaning."
Another figure suddenly rushed out and hugged Shen Yin's feet.
"God."
"I'm tired of looking at the scenery in this place, let's watch the fireworks!"
Yin Shen talked about the rules of this trip to Sally: "You must follow the rules, and go wherever you open the door."
Sally looked at the door and muttered, "The next time the door opens, maybe it will be on the volcano?"
And then it was sprayed into the sky by a volcano?
It turned out that when setting off fireworks, I set myself off as fireworks.
It's a pity that she doesn't have the ability to speak out in front of God Insai.
Yin Shen said: "It's not time to open the door next time."
Sally has no choice but to hope that the next time the door will open smoothly where she wants it.
Yin Shen said to the witch doctors: "Go out today and buy some common things."
Sally also jumped up and said to the witch doctors.
"Find more interesting things and come back, my temple of life is empty."
Not only is the Temple of Life empty, but the City of Life is also empty, and even the entire Dreamland Continent is also empty.
How dare the witch doctors say anything to the Supreme God.
They changed their shapes in an instant, grew tails, and lined up to go shopping.
