In Koror, the sanctuary is the undoubted core and holy place of the belief in the Goddess of Creation. Almost everything in this land serves religious beliefs-the cathedral is the religion, culture and administration of all cities At the center, the church is the source of all education. The clergyman is responsible for the management of the entire sanctuary, and the religious buildings are the most magnificent and complex facilities of the ecclesiastical country.
The basement of Luan Cathedral is not just a basement, but a very large facility that can be called an underground palace.
People led by the priest to the entrance of the underground palace behind the assembly hall, and then down a wide stone ramp all the way to the underground part of the cathedral in a few minutes. Hao Ren saw a straight and wide corridor extending out in front of her. There are many forks and room entrances on both sides of the corridor. Although the underground world does not see sunlight, the wall is inlaid with a shimmering milky white crystal at every distance. The following will not fall into darkness-it is even brighter than the ground part of the church.
Almost all of the survivors beyond imagination are concentrated in the underground palace. In the underground corridors, refugees wrapped in clothes and blankets, clustered with their families, and with a terrified look on their faces can be seen around them. With small piles of luggage, most people have only a few parcels and boxes, and even many people are empty. Obviously, they evacuated here in a hurry.
Seeing someone coming down from the ground entrance, many asylum-seekers raised their heads immediately. They looked at the Hao Ren line with curiosity. Many eyes were puzzled and nervous, even those who were ignorant.
"What the **** happened here ..." Karasius couldn't help mumbling.
"Asuman's asylum disappeared, the darkness entered while the nightmare quickly swallowed everyone who fell asleep," the middle-aged priest who led the way whispered, "more than half of them were overnight It turned into a seedbed for nightmares, and by the time we responded, it was almost helpless. What happened is very weird. The High Bishop, Lord Holzman, will explain it to you clearly. "
Deep along the corridor of the underground palace, a group of people finally reached the end. A small chapel was built deep in this underground facility. The sacred light of this chapel did not go out. The soft holy light came from the chapel window Diffuse out, sheltering the entire underground palace.
In the chapel, an old bishop with white hair is leading several assistant priests to complete a sacred ceremony. After the ceremony, he turned his head and looked at Hao Ren and Karasius standing in front of his eyes.
"Archbishop Karassus," Bishop Holtzman paid tribute to Karasius. Although he was an elder from age, from the class within the church, he was a regional bishop who was only responsible for a city and surrounding villages. It is necessary to pay tribute to Archbishop Karasius who holds an important position in the iconic palace. "I know you and your investigation team. When you set off, I will also be present at the iconic palace."
"Bishop Holtzman," Karasius nodded in return, "I know you, your diligence and piety are praised in the iconic palace."
After that, he briefly introduced the Hao Ren, Lily, and Ang around him. He did not elaborate on the identity of the three of them, but just guaranteed in the name of God. These three are allies that can be trusted. After completing the introduction, he will Straight into the ground and asked: "Bishop, what happened here? Why is the Holy Land reduced to this in just one month?"
"Everything deteriorated rapidly within a few days," the old bishop shook his head, his face pale slightly, just as the previous priest Bernstein said, this old bishop seemed to have suffered a mental shock, now All were a little sluggish. "Almost one month after your departure, the situation in the Holy Land has continued to deteriorate, but it has not reached the point of unsustainability. Until seven days ago, things suddenly became unmanageable."
Hao Ren has a serious expression: "What's the matter?"
"The light of Azuman suddenly abruptly attenuated, and numerous protective holes appeared in the protective barrier over the sanctuary. The power of chaos poured in directly, causing huge casualties, coughing ..." said the bishop, coughing violently It took a few moments to slowly breathe out, "The first wave of attacks was blocked, and the chariots paid a great price to eliminate the chaotic monsters that invaded the barriers, and barely allowed the barriers over the main cities to return to operation. However, On the evening of the same day, we encountered another raid that was difficult to resist-the raid was launched in a dream. "
Dream, Hao Ren instantly captured this vital word. He remembered the outposts destroyed by nightmares in the Taros West Forest and the shadow of the nightmare caught by Lily: "Someone is spiritually in sleep Invade, then deliberately commit suicide by committing suicide? "
The old bishop immediately turned his head: "How do you know?"
"A similar thing happened on other continents ..." Hao Ren briefly described the nightmare disaster at the Taros border, "but I didn't expect the same to happen in the Holy Land."
"The nightmare attack we encountered was somewhat similar to what you said, but not exactly the same," the old bishop shook his head after listening. "The evil spirits did invade the dream world, but did not cause a lot of casualties in the first place, but It has created countless puppets that have lost their souls, and even gradually overflowed into the real world. I think you have seen those things that wander outside the square ... "
Lily blinked his eyes: "Those walking dead?"
"The Walking Dead? No, that's not the Walking Dead," the old bishop glanced at Lily. "Those things that are not in the real world at all, they are nightmares, nightmares of Luan residents who have fallen into the nightmare world."
Lily feels a little bit out of his mind: "Oh ... dream? What do you mean, are those phantoms just outside?"
"Phantom-like things walk in the real world, and gradually affect the real world, constantly confusing the boundary between reality and dreams," said the old bishop. "The first wave of nightmare attacks occurred late at night, and At the time, it was the first night after we desperately repelled the chaotic monsters. Tiredness caused almost everyone to fall asleep. You can imagine how terrible the consequences are-most people are nightmares almost without resistance. Devoured, and relying on strong power to barely wake up, and less than one-tenth of the people who did not fall asleep for various reasons. After we broke free from our dreams, we found that many people around us were sleeping, unable to wake up by any means. Then, wandering shadows began to appear on the streets outside. Those shadows were nightmares released by the sleeping people. They were similar to the body, but they were irrational and could only wander blindly. Anyone who came in contact with them would be mentally shocked, and It gradually turned into a new bed of nightmares. More than 80% of the city ’s area was instantly controlled by these nightmares, I Shoulong all survivors hid in the cathedral - only here, the power of the nightmare was temporarily unable to meddle, we can sleep peacefully ".
Speaking of this, the old bishop took a few deep breaths. He was already weak, and he just barely completed a blessing ceremony just now. At this time, he felt a little out of breath by talking too much.
Karathius has to continue to ask questions: "All the survivors are in this church? Are there no other living people in the city?"
"I ca n’t guarantee that everyone is here, but at least 90% of the survivors are gathered here," the archbishop nodded. "We will send some people every day to go to the city to collect food and other resources. I will also look for other survivors. Occasionally, some survivors will be brought in during the first few days, but as time goes on, there are fewer and fewer survivors-people ca n’t never sleep, people who can persist until today are probably no longer Now. "
Hao Ren said: "When we came along, we saw some pedestrians in a hurry and did not look like a nightmare, and many people in the houses also responded. Are they not survivors?"
The old bishop seems to have known that someone will ask this, and he immediately shook his head: "That was another nightmare ... this city's nightmare."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Lun is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years. We live here for generations, bury it here, life and death cycle, inheritance from generation to generation, the old city is like a soul container, carrying millions of generations The thoughts and memories passed down from generation to generation, they are precipitated, and the ancient buildings and streets have spirituality. The city also remembers its appearance on bright days, and when the nightmare comes, it also falls into these shadows. Here, the memories of the past are distorted into a nightmare. "
Hao Ren recalled what I saw and heard along the way, those houses with closed doors, those pedestrians who were in a hurry and full of fear, those who were full of hostility and repulsion, and were unwilling to communicate with people, they were so Real, but did not expect it was just a dream.
A dream that occurs in the real world.
The boundary between nightmare and reality is about to be smoothed out. If this trend continues, I am afraid that it will not take long before the entire real world sanctuary will be replaced by nightmares.
Karathius looks somber: "The situation is so bad, is there no movement over the city of the Deity?"
The old bishop glanced at him: "This is exactly what I want to tell you-something terrible has happened in the city of Shenjuan. As early as the first wave of attacks, the city of Shenjuan was abnormally unilateral The magical link with all the lower churches was broken, and at that time, chaos had not poured into the barrier, but Luan ’s sacred crystal could not receive the signal from the iconostasis. Then we took a great risk and sent a reconnaissance The team went to check the situation of the city of God's Dependence, but found that it had disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a large piece of sulfur scorched earth, and countless huge pits!
