Chapter 121 The Lost Holy Child

Just like Yi Chen's guess.

The village's underground canal is adjacent to the church ceremonial area, separated only by a wall.

With the destruction of the church, the seal set up here will no longer exist, and the chickens can easily open the connection path on both sides with their excellent ability to dig walls.

Walking through the winding underground river, you will soon come to the wellhead corresponding to the center of the village.

Not in a hurry to go up, Yi Chen first asked the chickens,

"Xiao Pei, did you see anyone else during the underground river activities?"

"No cluck!"

After 10 minutes of getting along with each other, Xiaopei mustered up the courage to stand firmly on Jin's shoulders after confirming that Jin did not know how to tear chickens with his hands.

"Ah."

It's a bit strange, Yi Chenming made an agreement with the girl Lai Ni, once the problem is eradicated, she will be notified.

Everyone came all the way to the mouth of the well, but she still couldn't be seen.

"Maybe it's the problem of the chickens. Leni has never seen so many chickens, and it's a group of chickens that can easily smash the wall to open the way. She didn't show up because of the danger. 』

at this time,

The flock of chickens began to flap their wings and flew out of the well mouth one by one.

Jin was even more exaggerated. Through the explosion in the body between the calves, he directly jumped out of a height of nearly ten meters, and directly jumped out of the wellhead from the lower end.

The same problem was in front of him again. Due to a temporary heart problem, it was difficult for Yi Chen, who could not be released outside, to reach the height of the wellhead.

At this moment, Jin suddenly poked his head out from the upper well mouth,
"William, how strange! We have clearly killed the source of ashes and eliminated the root cause of the disease among the churches, but the ashes in the village has not decreased, but it is more intense than when we first came.

According to the knowledge learned in Gethsemane, this unnatural gray area should slowly disappear after we clean up the root cause. Could it be that there are still seriously ill people hiding in the church? "

"There can be no remnants, otherwise it will definitely come out to stop us when we deal with the Holy Child.

Perhaps it is [environmental delay], which is also mentioned in the book. Some ash breath squeezed between the strata needs to wait for hours or even days before it slowly disappears with the root cause being eliminated.

Jin, there should be some butchers and scavengers active in the villages. Would you like to try to clean them up and make spare diced meat?In case we encounter accidents on the way back to the city. "

"Okay, what about you?"

"I'll take a stroll in the underground river to see if there are any hidden patients who need to be treated."

"Then see you later!"

In order to hide his embarrassment of not being able to go to the well and considering Jin's crazy characteristics, Yi Chen decided to meet the girl Lai Ni alone.

however,
Walking down the familiar corridor of the cave, Yi Chen's face became more solemn as he approached Laini's residence.

Because the corridor was filled with a black air current that was not there before, it even felt that the air had become thicker.

Even after approaching for a certain distance, the water droplets falling from the stalactites turned into black slime, and thick black water began to flow on the ground.

These black liquids are not foul-smelling, but smell quite fragrant, like freshly produced special juices.

And it carries an attribute that Yi Chen is all too familiar with - "new life".

But the new life of this black liquid is completely different from the flesh-colored new life of Saint Marcos, and even feels better.

Little Putao, who was sleeping and resting, also smelled something, and was forced to open her mouth, reveal her eyes, and even instinctively wanted to replace Yi Chen's left arm to deal with the immediate danger.

"William!Didn't the holy fetus just be killed, isn't the incident already over?

Could it be that there are deeper secrets among the churches, shouldn't they?All their foundations are obviously used for the birth of the holy fetus, and the mother's body is also there. 』

"Things are a little different, I'm going to Leni's place. 』

"It's that girl... Could it be! 』Little Putao guessed something, and immediately got out from her shoulders, staring at the situation ahead with Yi Chen with wide-eyed eyes.

Not far away is the cave where Leni lives, which is also the source of the black liquid.

Snapped!
As Yi Chen stepped into it, when the kerosene lamp illuminated the interior,
The portrait of the girl who used to sit by the bonfire to keep warm and eat was instantly deleted from my mind,

Instead, a swollen, wriggling black mass,

It sticks to the center of the cave, and there are more than a dozen pitch-black arms growing on its body...or in other words, the arm-like soft tissue is sucking as much liquid as possible from the stalactite.

The clumps are still growing and getting bigger,
There is also the head of a black-haired girl growing on the top of the center.

It seems that someone is visiting,
The head began to turn slowly, eventually facing the visitor at the door.

"Big brother is here! You guys really succeeded in curing your illness!

However, a strange gray light enveloped me more than ten minutes ago, which caused my body to change, so I am sorry that I couldn't come to greet you. "

As he spoke, soft arms full of mucus stretched out,
Yi Chen didn't dodge, and let the soft tissue slide across his body. There was no malice, just a friendly touch.

The girl's head is none other than Leni Sistra
Her hair, which originally covered half of her face, now floats up like a soft arm, revealing her horizontally striped pupils and forehead with curved horns.

"One-horned Goat Eyes"

Such characteristics instantly reminded Yi Chen of an important piece of information obtained during the investigation of the village - [Holy fetus].

The human-like carcass with goat characteristics is regarded as the holy fetus, and members of the church will come to the door to take the holy fetus away and send it to the depths of the church for the birth ceremony.

The answer is clear,
The girl Leni is a holy fetus who was left in the underground area for some reason, and was not taken to the church... probably because of her parents, who concealed the fact that the church members threw the child down the mouth of the well in advance, hoping that she would continue to survive .

"Big Brother, I'm really sorry...Maybe I need you to do me a favor."

"what?"

"My movement has become inconvenient, can I trouble you to carry me to [the root of the high wall]?"

Yi Chen didn't ask the specific reason,
Came directly on the black mass and headed for the destination as fast as possible.

All the stone crevices and narrow roads along the way were smashed by the village chief, just enough to allow Leni's lumpy body to pass through smoothly.

Soon came to the edge of the destination, tens of meters below is the confluence of huge roots, which is the meat pond and mud pond for them to absorb nutrients.

"Big brother, just throw me down! If you jump off with me on your shoulders, you might get hurt."

"alright."

Yi Chen turned his body sideways to let Leni fall freely,
Snapped!A lot of mud was splashed, and the girl's head immediately looked up to express her gratitude to Yi Chen.

Then, a strange scene happened.

A large number of mouth-shaped structures grew on the surface of the black mass, frantically sucking nutrients from the mire,
The soft arms on the surface of the body grew spikes in the palms, piercing into the thick roots, sucking the plant nutrients despised by the church,
The black mass grows rapidly during this process, and even gradually fills the lower area, turning into a super-large palace tissue.

【outside world】

The tall tree walls that enclosed the forest stopped expanding and withered, withered and even died within minutes.

Yi Chen stood on the edge of the deep pit the whole time, watching the situation below,
Until a brass frame appeared in the field of vision, a [long frame] with umbilical cord relief engraved at the beginning, and a black liquid symbolizing new life was filled between the frames.

The title and name are also attached to the frame

§The Black-Maiden-of-Palinggenesis§

Looking at this scene, Yi Chen showed a mocking smile:

"It's really ironic... A young girl who was not trained by the church, did not accept the so-called teacher's sacrifice, and lived on the lowest flesh and blood plants every day, unexpectedly became what the church finally wanted to create.

It is even more complete, and the freshman level is higher.

It seems that this group of church members and the so-called Newborn Mother are just [introductions], they establish a connection with something ancient through rituals, and let the other party bestow gifts.

This gift will not cease with Marcos' death,
'Gift' will take the initiative to find the next target,
Leni, the lost holy fetus, is an additional high-quality option. "

　Today I took little Ah Fei to the hospital for a review, and I have to move things to live with my grandma. Please take half a day off, and I will just change it.
