Evernight God Walk

Xu Shen's face changed slightly, there was indeed something unusual under this church.

The copper lamps on both sides were shining, and after a few people walked up the steps, there was a dark prison in front of them.

There are only a few faint copper lamps on the wall, with wicks floating inside, not the electric lights outside.

Xu Shen knew that the magnetic field of the electric light would show signs of instability under the erosion of the market force, and it could be disturbed by the market force at any time, causing the light to short-circuit and go out.

On the contrary, this kind of ancient oil lamp will not be infected by the market force.

Bursts of corruption, stench, and the smell of pig internal organs permeated the air.

Xu Shen looked around in the dark cell, where there were hideous silhouettes imprisoned inside.

The iron bars of this cell are made of ruin stones, which are specially used to imprison the beasts, and they will also appear in the ruin world.

Under this church...so many Hui were imprisoned!
The more Xu Shen watched, the more frightened he became. After he became the leader of the Light Chasing Society, he also knew the floors of the Prison Ruins in the headquarters building of the Light Chasing Society and the number of the Prison Ruins, but compared with what he saw, it was obviously nothing.

"Come here, come and hide."

"Hee hee, don't let them see it, ah oh, they have already seen it..."

"Whoa, let me out, I'm going back to visit my child, my child hasn't eaten for months..."

"My head hurts, it hurts, who is talking behind my head? Is it... my sister?"

Various murmurs and weird sounds came out.

They were hidden in the darkness, and Xu Shen couldn't see them clearly, but he could hear their voices clearly.

"Do you know what is being held here?"

Seeing Xu Shen's expressionless and calm appearance, the woman behind couldn't help but speak, with a playful smile in her eyes.

She regretted putting on Xu Shen's bracelet and imprisoning Xu Li, otherwise, when he saw the scene in the cage around him, he didn't know what kind of funny reaction he would have.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Shen didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

The sight in front of him made him realize that the Luna Sect is definitely not an orthodox religion.

Or, are these religions no different from other forces?

"You will know soon." The middle-aged team leader said indifferently.

The woman glanced at Xu Shen's face, with regret in her eyes.

Soon, everyone followed the aisle in the center of the prison to a place similar to a execution room.

Seeing the torture tools stained with black blood all over the wall, Xu Shen's face was ugly: "Are you trying to abuse the lynching? If you hurt me, I won't bring your dead back to life. If you want, I can serve you to the Luna Sect." .”

He only hoped to delay the time until the reinforcements that King Mu said would arrive.

Or have the opportunity to use their cards.

"Do not misunderstand."

The old man in the snow-white robe in front turned around with a compassionate face: "This is not torture. The punishment will only make the criminal fearful, but it will not repent sincerely. This is a purification field to purify the sins and stupidity in your heart."

"Is there a difference?" Xu Shen gritted his teeth.

"Of course there is."

The old man in the snow-white robe clasped his hands together, with a pious expression, and said: "You have committed a crime, and according to the law, you should have been executed directly, but my lord, the Moon God, is merciful to the world, even if it is a criminal who has sunk into the abyss, he is still willing to redeem him. From now on, you will listen to the teachings of the Moon God here, and guard the ruins here to redeem your sins."

Xu Shen looked into his kind eyes, and was shocked to find that there was no trace of malice in the other's eyes.

However, that feeling made him feel even colder.

This old man has gone crazy!
"Is the Xu being imprisoned here? If I am guarding them, I need to untie the bracelet." Xu Shen immediately said: "I am willing to cooperate."

"It's fine if you want."

The old man in the snow-white robe showed a look of relief, and led Xu Shen to the chair next to him, and put his hands on his shoulders: "Sit down."

Xu Shen was forced to sit on the chair.

The black metal chair was covered with blood, and there were sharp protruding metal thorns on the armrests of the chair. In the corners of the chair, there were sticky minced meat and slippery broken internal organs.

Evidently, something extremely cruel had happened in this chair.

The moment he sat down, Xu Shen could smell the strong rancid smell emanating from the chair, completely surrounding him.

At this moment, Xu Shen seemed to have returned home again.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Shen realized something was wrong, the old man's benevolent eyes were like a devil's smile in his eyes.

"You are a body of sin and a ruiner. Your dirty body must be baptized. After you are reborn, you are qualified to listen to the teachings of the moon god here and raise these sinful beasts for our lord."

The old man in the snow-white robe smiled and said: "Otherwise, if the holy voice of our Lord falls into the ears of the sinful body, it will be our blasphemy."

Xu Shen was a little startled and angry, "How to baptize? What do you want to do?"

"Since it is a body of sin, it is natural to deprive it of sin..." The old man in the snow-white robe said softly, he lifted the chain on the chair with his palm, and locked Xu Shen's hands on the chair.

Xu Shen tried to struggle, but at this moment Xu Li was imprisoned, and was easily held down under the old man's withered fingers.

Seeing the different expressions of the people in front of him, Xu Shen's pupils opened angrily, but anger and powerlessness welled up in his heart. He regretted following them into the inner city obediently, but the painful thing was that he had no other choice.

Escape, where can you escape?

Being powerless to change and having no other choice is despair.

"I was framed by someone." Xu Shen gritted his teeth, trying to persuade: "And I am the leader of the Light Chaser Society, and I also work for the big shots in the inner city. Give me some time, and I will definitely help you find the murderer!"

"Being framed by someone is also stupid." The old man in the snow-white robe sighed softly: "This is a sin, child."

His palm gently stroked Xu Shen's head, bringing warmth.

Like a kind grandfather loving his grandson.

But Xu Shen had already seen through the madness hidden under his benevolent face, and hurriedly said: "But the real murderer is at large, are you just going to let it go like this?"

"You don't need to worry about this. If there is a real culprit, we will investigate again." The middle-aged team leader sneered: "Besides, you have already come here, do you think you can go out without incident?"

Xu Shen's hair felt cold.

Indeed, at this moment, it has nothing to do with his murder.

Seeing the true face of this church, they obviously won't let him leave easily.

"Clean knife."

The old man in the snow-white robe said softly.

Immediately, someone took down a small black and blood-stained machete from the wall, and handed it to his palm.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Shen was shocked and angry.

"You are riddled with sins, and you can only peel off your sins together with your skin. If you can survive, it means that you have been blessed by the Lord's blessing and prove that you are qualified to be redeemed." The old man in the snow-white robe said softly.

Xu Shen's pupils contracted.

peel?

Seeing the look in the old man's eyes, Xu Shen got a firm answer that the other party wanted to... skin him alive!

"I am the leader of the Light Chasing Society. I... I know the Mo family, I know the Jiang family!" Seeing the blade getting closer and closer, Xu Shen could smell the strong smell above, he hurriedly reported the forces he knew, hoping Can procrastinate.

"It doesn't matter who you know, in front of my lord, everyone is mortal."

The old man in snow-white robes had a kind face and said, "Because you are the leader of the Light Chaser Society, you have the opportunity to get the blessing of our lord, otherwise you will be executed directly, do you understand?"

As the words fell, so did the blade.

The knife was between Xu Shen's eyebrows, and Xu Shen immediately felt the cold blade cut along the brow, and a burning pain came out.

Then the blade slashed along the scalp.

The severe pain made Xu Shen couldn't help but scream out.

"I, I'm still the captain of the Ruins Bureau!"

"It's useless, it's just the forces of the bottom city." The old man smiled, as if he was chatting with someone familiar with him, but the blade in his hand was extremely sharp, and his palm was steady, cutting along the scalp.

It was the first time that Xu Shen was so close to death and felt such personal pain.

Blood flowed, staining his eyeballs red, and his hands were bound, unable to struggle.

"Recite the Bible of our lord, it can help you relieve your pain." The old man said softly with compassion in his voice, "You teach him to recite, and then recite the seventh chapter. The one that brings light to the world."

The five people next to them nodded slightly and recited in unison in a low voice:

"My lord Moon God, please hide your face from my sins and blot out all my sins; please create a pure heart for me, and restore a righteous spirit within me."

"We have to be like babies to enter the kingdom of God, because the kingdom of God belongs to children."

"Honor the Lord, the Lord loves him; seek the Lord earnestly, and the Lord will come."

"True life can only be seen in losing oneself..."

The voices of several people overlapped, like ancient scriptures chanted, surrounding Xu Shen in this dark torture chamber.

The scriptures are accompanied by screams, which are out of place.

"True life can only be seen in losing oneself..."

During this chanting, the blade in the snow-white robed old man's hand turned extremely skillfully, and slowly cut Xu Shen's skin, and soon his head was completely peeled off, revealing the bloody scalp and face inside, which looked ferocious and painful.

With a gentle expression and a steady hand, he began to cut to the neck.

"Don't move, it's easy to cut the blood vessels and arteries here." He said softly.

The great pain made Xu Shen scream. The words around him were sometimes clear and sometimes blurred. Without the protection of the skin, the flesh and blood were exposed to the air. At this moment, Xu Shen felt hundreds of millions of sharp needles pricking his face. The pain set his entire face on fire, until he could barely think.

In my mind, the voice of chanting was infiltrating vaguely.

True life can be seen only in losing oneself...

real life...

Xu Shen clenched his teeth and felt the blade passing by his neck. Despite the severe pain, he did not dare to struggle and tried his best to restrain himself.

"You have to recite and repent, so that you can get the blessing of our Lord." The old man said softly.

Xu Shen gritted his teeth and remained silent.

The old man didn't speak, but the blade cut off, and the speed of skinning was obviously accelerated. The severe pain of tearing made Xu Shen's back drenched, and blood rolled down on his forehead and face, like sweat beans.

Neck, shoulders, arms, chest.

The blade cuts the lower epidermis, and sticks to the lower epidermis to separate the fascia and flesh.

Under the severe pain, Xu Shen passed out.

But soon, Xu Shen woke up from the pain again.

He managed to open his eyes, and in the blood-red darkness, apart from the old man in front of him, he saw a figure standing in mid-air behind the old man.

maeve...

Xu Shen opened his mouth slightly. He looked at Maeve's pure face and wanted to call her name.

But when the words came to his lips, he held back.

If Maeve came and killed them all, how would she treat herself?

If she is really willing to help her and help him escape from here, how far can he escape?
The whole real world...is there any place for it?
What's more, once this boundary is broken, can they still be like this, with each other... pure companionship?
Seeing Xu Shen's blurred and painful gaze, Maeve was also staring at her quietly, the usual playfulness on her face was gone, she just stared quietly into Xu Shen's eyes.

She seemed to be waiting, waiting for Xu Shen's sincere call.

But seeing Xu Shen's eyes gradually closing again, Maeve couldn't help showing a slight sigh and depression in her eyes, and whispered to herself: "After all, are you still reluctant to part with your own world?"

Xu Shen closed his eyes in pain.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

The skin all over his body was slowly cut off under the blade. Looking at the trembling but clenching his teeth, the old man had a gleam in his eyes, and was a little surprised. Such tenacity and perseverance surpassed many people he had seen.

As the blade turned, half of Xu Shen's body skin was peeled off.

Xu Shen didn't dare to lean back against the exposed flesh and blood. The uneven metal particles on the back of the chair and the rotting flesh and blood remaining on the particles made his skin feel stinging, inflamed and infected.

The eyes of the five moon-robed enforcers also showed a bit of solemnity. The endurance of this young man from the bottom city was beyond their imagination.

As the flesh peeled off, the epidermis of Xu Shen's whole body was cut off very quickly.

Blood was already flowing down the chair, and the whole chair seemed to be fished out of the blood, and the blood fell like rain.

If it was an ordinary person, under such severe pain, life and death would have already passed.

Even if he could endure the pain, with such a large amount of blood loss, he would most likely die long ago.

But Xu Shen is a Ruins Slayer, with Ruins protection in his body, skinning is not fatal enough for him.

After all, Mo Qinghao can regenerate when his head explodes. Although Xu Shen is not a person with the reconstruction ability, he has entered the second form after all, and he is already an extraordinary life.

As the nearly complete skin was peeled off, the old man in the snow-white robe threw the skin on the table next to him, and immediately looked at the blood-soaked young man on the chair. At this moment, he could no longer see the face of the other party, and his whole body was bloody.

But he could tell that the boy was awake and not fainted.

"Does it hurt?" The old man said softly: "My lord blesses you, you have successfully washed away your sins. I hope you can take good care of these sinful ruins for my lord in the future, so that they will also receive divine grace."

Xu Shen's teeth and eyes were tightly closed, and he didn't make a sound.

"Unlock the forbidden ring for him and lock it on his feet." said the old man in the snow-white robe.

The middle-aged team leader nodded slightly, took out the key and unlocked the ring in Xu Shen's hand. With a click, the bracelet was opened. He glanced at Xu Shen, not worried about Xu Shen's sudden attack at this moment.

He was already prepared, not to mention that Xu Shen had no weapons by his side, and his combat uniform was peeled off along with the skin.

He locked the forbidden ring on Xu Shen's feet.

During this process, Xu Shen felt that Xu's power was slowly recovering.

The moment the bracelet was untied, the inner strength slowly emerged, like kneaded cotton, gradually fluffing up, which he could feel, but it was extremely weak.

As the feet were locked, this vague perception seemed to weaken a bit, but it was still barely perceptible.

Xu Shen immediately mobilized his power to block the bleeding.

But he found that the Xu force can only be mobilized to the part above the chest, from the abdominal cavity to the waist and below, and the Xu force cannot sink down, as if there is some kind of resistance.

This resistance comes from the rings on the feet.

This ring can force back the xu power, but it doesn't seem to be as advanced as Xu Shen imagined. It's not a systemic blockade. Now it's locked on the feet, it can only block the xu power of the lower body. No wonder it was locked on the wrist before, causing the upper and lower body to be blocked.

"Now, strip away the sin in your body."

The old man in the snow-white robe said softly.

Xu Shen suddenly opened his eyes.

"Don't worry about the child, it won't hurt you. It's just stripping the soldiers from your body. These things are no longer suitable for you." The old man in the snow-white robe said kindly.

Xu Shen gave him a deep look in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and did not resist.

At this moment, people are using swords and I am fish and meat. In front of him, it is not just the old man, but the power behind him.

It was also this power that forced him to willingly follow them.

As long as you are born in reality, you cannot escape.

The palm of the old man in snow-white robes suddenly patted Xu Shen's chest lightly, and Xu Shen suddenly felt like his heart was beating apart, and his breathing stopped.

The next moment, pieces of soldiers fell from his bloody body.

The previous brief attack broke Xu Shen's ruin force, and the whole body was blocked by the ruin force. This kind of blockade was more thorough than the ring on his feet, so that the ruin soldiers in his body could not perceive the ruin power.

Gloves, black blood, masks... As the soldiers fell, the old man in the snow-white robe immediately grabbed all of them with his palms.

When he got the mask, the old man in the snow-white robe let out a small gasp, his face changed slightly.

"The Jiang family's mask?"

Thinking of Xu Shen's previous words, the old man in the snow-white robe couldn't help but look at Xu Shen. He didn't expect that this young man from Dicheng really knew the Jiang family, and he was also the Jiang family's ghost moon warrior!

"Why is it that his surname is Xu?" The snow-white robed old man looked at the five moon-robed law enforcement officers beside him with a gloomy expression.

The five people also saw the mask, and they were all horrified. They didn't expect Xu Shen to be from the Jiang family.

Could it be the Jiang family's dark chess hidden in the bottom city?
Including Xu Shen's surname...

"Lord, my lord bishop, we don't know about this." The middle-aged man in the team quickly said, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

The old man in snow-white robes held a mask and frowned. After a while, he sighed softly and said: "The Jiang family was a little close to our pope in the early years, and also received divine grace. Unfortunately, the Jiang family has gradually turned away from me over the years. It’s the will of the Lord, it doesn’t matter if you live up to God’s grace, if I knew you were from the Jiang family and remembered the past, I would have sent you back to the Jiang family.”

"But this is the end of the matter, you have washed away your sins, so stay here."

He shook his head, put away his mask, and turned to look at the five people around him: "You only arrested criminals from Dicheng, do you understand?"

The faces of the five people were pale, and they hurriedly lowered their heads: "Understood!"

The old man in the snow-white robe nodded slightly. This matter is also inseparable from these five people. He believes that they will not talk nonsense.

"you……"

There was anger in Xu Shen's eyes. He thought he saw hope, but he didn't expect that they planned to cover it up.

"Take care of yourself. When the wound is healed, get up on time tomorrow and listen to prayers." The old man in the snow-white robe said, and at the same time put away the soldiers, and ordered someone to take away the skin bag next to him.

The woman immediately stepped forward upon hearing this, and picked up the bloody skin that had been peeled off.

But as soon as she touched her fingers, her pupils shrank rapidly, and something seemed to be triggered in her mind, she screamed "ah", her eyes rolled white, bloody tears flowed from her eye sockets, and she fell straight down.

This sudden scene shocked the few people who were about to leave. Their expressions changed, and they hurriedly made defensive postures and looked at Xu Shen.

From the materials of the Chasing Light Society, they know that Xu Shen is in the second form.

So are they.

But Xu Shen's ability is not clear to Chasing Light.

"What's going on?" The old man in snow-white robes frowned, his expression was calmer, he took a look at Xu Shen, his pupils turned dark gray immediately, activated his eyes, and looked towards the place where the woman was.

He even suspected that it was an attack from the Deep Ruins.

However, under the inspection of Xu's eyes, there was no sign of Xu.

He frowned slightly, stepped forward to the woman's side, hugged her body, and found that she was out of breath and had no breath.

The second form... died so easily?

Although this woman is not a reconstruction-type ability user, her vitality will never be so fragile.

Is it an infectious disease?

The old man glanced at Xu Shen, Xu Shen's ruth power was blocked at this moment, it was impossible for him to make the move.

He believed that the second form could kill people under his nose.

He looked at Xu Shen's peeled skin again, reached out his hand to touch it, and found that there was nothing wrong with it.

He touched every inch when he peeled the skin before, and there was no accident.

He watched the blood continuously oozing from the woman's ears and eyes, his eyes moved slightly, he took the clean knife, and cut the woman's head open, and immediately saw a strange scene.

The woman's intracranial tissue turned into maggots.

It wriggled inside its skull, and there was a hole in it, as if... someone had saved it with a finger!
The old man's pupils shrank slightly, and such a strange scene made him feel incomprehensible.

Could it be that this woman is already dead?
"This……"

The other four people also saw this horrifying scene, seeing the maggots wriggling in the woman's brain, these maggots were extremely huge, crawling and churning.

It's hard to imagine, with such a scene in my mind, this woman could talk like a normal person before.

"It may be some kind of sickness that has never been seen before."

The old man in the snow-white robe slightly covered his mouth and nose, covered his head, and said in a low voice: "It is her sin to desecrate this sacred place. Take it out and send it to the Steam Association, and let them see why."

The four of them looked at each other, and could only bite the bullet and pick up the woman's body.

"Did nothing happen on your way to Dicheng?" the old man asked with a frown.

The four of them looked at each other, when someone suddenly thought of the woman trying to rape Xu Shen in the car, they screamed and covered their heads, as if they felt a little uncomfortable at that time.

This person immediately explained the situation.

Several people looked at Xu Shen, and the old man asked, "Did you put a forbidden ring on him at that time?"

"Go on." The young man scratched his head, doubts appeared in his eyes, so Xu Shen didn't do it?
The old man in the snow-white robe pondered for a while, and said, "Take it out first, and let the Steam Association have a look."

Seeing this, the few people could only agree to the promise, and they felt a little more afraid of the bottom city. They had heard that it was dirty and plagued many times.

Taking the woman's body with them, several people left here one after another.

Seeing their leaving backs, Xu Shen saw the chains that had not been untied, and tried to break free, but in vain.

The woman's death was obviously caused by Maeve.

As for how she did it, Xu Shen didn't know.

Pain and cold hit.

At this moment, Xu Shen's thighs and buttocks were sticking to the seat, and the sticky blood almost stuck his body to the chair. The stinging pain made his sanity seem to be burned out along with it.

"Hee hee, here comes another delicious meal."

"The one that was delivered last time was eaten by you. I haven't had time to enjoy it yet. This time it's my turn."

"My kid hasn't eaten yet. He hasn't eaten in months. It's my turn."

As the old man in the snow-white robe left, the voices in the dark cage became clearer, and strange words came out in various strange tones.

Xu Shen sat on the bloody chair, surrounded only by darkness and ruins.

At this moment, he felt that he was back at the dining table at home again.

Only this time, there are no dining tables.

Also, he is more miserable than at home.

"Mom" said it was dangerous outside...it turned out to be true.

But... I'm already out.

How can these dangers... be avoided?If there is no way to avoid it... so what should I do?

Should... all these dangers be erased?

erase……

erase it all...

Xu Shen's eyes became deeper and deeper in the darkness, as if they had completely merged with the darkness.

The weird laughter around him seemed to have touched Xu Shen's emotions, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

Just erase it...

In the dark, it is impossible to perceive the passage of time, the change of day and night.

The weakness caused by excessive blood loss made Xu Shen's thoughts gradually drowsy. The surface of the flesh and blood on his back had dried up. After drying, the blood skin looked like wrinkled peanuts, but there was a layer of dry and hard scabs.

This crusted skin, like blood and flesh, made Xu Shenneng barely lean on the chair.

He slowly fell asleep leaning on it.

for a long time.

for a long time.

In the darkness, Xu Shen heard the chanting of scriptures from above his head.

"My Lord exists, therefore I exist..."

"...Please hide your face from my sin..."

"True life can only be seen in losing oneself..."

Xu Shen slowly opened his eyes.

But what he saw was still the dark torture chamber around him, and the looming hideous figure in the cage.

After a few hours, the scriptures disappeared. Not long after, Xu Shen heard footsteps and saw an old man in a snow-white robe coming from the darkness.

The old man looked at Xu Shen who was sitting on the chair. At this moment, Xu Shen was full of flesh and blood. Although the bleeding had stopped and the wound had dried up, he looked extremely hideous.

There was a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have completed your new life."

Xu Shen stared at him.

"Don't hate me, when you feel the grace of my lord, you will thank me." The old man smiled slightly, unchained the chair from Xu Shen, and said, "Starting today, you will start working."
