Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 357: Arrested (Chapter 1)

On the top of the church hangs a huge divine emblem.

At the door of the church stood six Southeast Asians with long whips and grim faces.

The crowd lined up to enter one by one.

Not long after, it was Chen Shouyi and Luo Jingwen's turn.

The soldier looked at the badge carefully and passed the level smoothly.

In front of the church hall, a tall god statue with outstretched arms, wings on the back, and a ferocious and majestic face exudes a sacred and depressing atmosphere.

Chen Shouyi took a look, then quickly lowered his head.

Not long after entering, there was an episode outside. Two cultists who had been taken away by Chen Shouyi were stopped by soldiers.

The middle-aged couple looked panic-stricken and tried their best to explain.

A soldier took out his whip impatiently, and whipped his head and face several times. The two of them rolled and begged for mercy, howled loudly, their bodies were covered in blood, and then they were dragged away by the soldiers, as if they were going to be interrogated.

Losing the badge or forgetting to bring it is a trivial matter in the eyes of normal people, and at most it violates discipline regulations.

But in this cult-controlled society, it's no small matter.

These badges or emblems represent the gods.

Losing or forgetting to bring the god's emblem can be said to be impious in light, or even blasphemy in serious cases. It is definitely a matter of political inclination to ignore the gods.

Waiting for their end, I am afraid it is quite harsh.

Everyone looked at this scene, some were shocked, some were indifferent, some looked disgusted, no one stopped or pleaded.

This episode of the scene is over soon.

Not long after the crowd entered the church hall, the noisy voices completely fell silent, and even the four or five-year-old children stopped crying.

Chen Shouyi and Luo Jingwen bowed their heads in the crowd, looking unobtrusive.

There was a faint, eerie fragrance in the air.

Chen Shouyi observed secretly from the corner of his eye. This place was completely crowded with people. In this hall of about 300 square meters, thousands of people poured in. Many people's eyes were dazed, and they seemed to be in a trance.

Obviously the influence of those scents in the air.

Fortunately, these scents did not affect him and Luo Jingwen at all.

...

Time passed by every minute and every second, and more than ten minutes later, a meticulously dressed middle-aged man in a silver-trimmed robe, with shiny hair combed, strode into the hall from the small door of the church.

Everyone, may the Lord bless you! The Lord said that whoever believes in me and follows my teachings, I will protect you.

He is fluent in Chinese, but it can still be heard that it is slightly different from Daxia. This person is obviously a Southeast Asian Chinese.

Everyone knows that the catastrophe of mankind is coming. The electricity disappeared, the network disappeared, and human industry was destroyed overnight. However, this is just the beginning. It won't be long before the real catastrophe is coming. Only the great God of Order, my lord, can protect us. You... now we begin the prayer.

The crowd quickly fell to their knees and began to pray aloud.

Grass!

Chen Shouyi and Luo Jingwen looked at each other, a little helpless, but in order to avoid being exposed, they had no choice but to kneel down and pray with the crowd.

Great God of Order, you are a majestic and loving father, you have established the iron chain of rules, you make all things reasonable, and the four seasons are orderly, your name spreads in the world, you are supreme, all glory belongs to you...

With the repeated prayers that seemed to be brainwashed, the air gradually became a little oppressive, and there seemed to be a sacred and solemn atmosphere that permeated the church. Everyone seemed to be intoxicated by it, and there were baby-like smiles on the corners of their mouths.

The statue seems to come alive, exuding a cold and hazy brilliance, as if there is a majestic colossus faintly coming here, looking down at the crowd.

Chen Shouyi's heart seemed to be pressed down by a mountain, and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe.

However, he knew in his heart that this was the result of the strong power of faith here rejecting him as an unbelievers, and the God of Order would naturally not come down without incident. In addition,

It is also because my perception is too sharp and I can receive more information.

An ordinary person with slow perception would at most feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and it would never have such a big influence as him.

This prayer lasted for a full twenty minutes before it finally came to an end.

Chen Shouyi stood up with the crowd.

The priest came to the stage again, and then led the cultists to sing a few great hymns praising the God of Order, and then held a thick tome: Today we will talk about the fifth chapter of the third chapter of the Holy Book of Order, the Lord Say……

Chen Shouyi listened expressionlessly.

Damn, it's all a remake of the Bible.

It's really embarrassing for those heretics.

The gods of a primitive tribe in another world are packaged into a modern church of benevolence, peace, order, and protection of mankind.

Can you show some face!

But the situation is stronger than people, so he can only bite the bullet and listen.

Friends, we're here today. An hour later, the priest was about to finish.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a serious face and a long sword on his waist walked in quickly and quietly, and handed over a note.

The priest looked at it for a while, nodded, and sent the note back with a look of awe on his face.

Chen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.

When the middle-aged man left, the priest said with a serious face:

My lord's god of order, the most trustworthy right-hand man, His Majesty Saya, came to our Quejiang City to hunt down the criminals. One of them has been arrested and he is being held in Hengguan Prison for interrogation, but there are still two people who are mixed with us. In Jiang City, they are extremely vicious, killing people when they move, in order to avoid casualties of believers, this evening prayer will be extended for two hours.

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone, with a cold expression on his face:

In addition, if any church members find someone acting suspiciously, please report it immediately. Once confirmed, the church will reward the whistleblower. Of course, if you find it and fail to report it, you will also be punished heavily.

There was a little commotion in the crowd, with fear on their faces, whispering for a while, and soon calmed down again.

Chen Shouyi and Luo Jingwen looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Next, the atmosphere became a little depressing.

Chen Shouyi and Luo Jingwen paid close attention to the situation outside.

There was silence outside the church, as if nothing had happened.

After suffering for two hours, this evening prayer is finally over!

The two walked out of the church with the crowd, found that oppressive atmosphere, and stayed at high altitude again.

Chen Shouyi and Luo Jingwen pretended to be natural and chatted in low voices. After a few minutes, they returned to the house where they were staying and breathed a sigh of relief.

What do you think? Luo Jingwen frowned, and quickly wrote on the coffee table.

Chen Shouyi knew that the other party was talking about Zhu Xueqing's arrest, he pondered for a moment, and wrote with his hand: It's obviously fake news, the other party is trying to lure us into the bait.

It was already noon when this demigod came, Zhu Xueqing had already left Nanshan City in half a day, it was absolutely impossible.

I don't think it's possible. This is defrauding us. I'm afraid that as soon as we get close to Hengguan Prison or try to inquire about the news, we will be exposed immediately, but we can't believe it at all!

Chen Shouyi nodded solemnly.

This is the disgusting part of this method. Although it is clumsy, even though it is known to be false, as long as there is any possibility, it must be confirmed. Zhu Xueqing's life is only second, and the key is that information is too important.

Now there are only two choices.

Either one of them left Donghai Province and sent the information out again.

Either confirm the authenticity of this news as soon as possible.

However, now the demigod has been monitoring Quejiang City from high altitude, and Quejiang City is a small city. With the demigod's terrifying hearing and vision, I am afraid that if there is any trouble, it will be noticed immediately. No matter what kind of situation is extremely dangerous, the risk is extremely high. big.

Luo Jingwen is also a person with a quick mind, so he obviously thought of it.

The two sat on the sofa, motionless, and the atmosphere was quiet and depressing.

There was a long silence.

Luo Jingwen suddenly stretched out his hand, paused slightly in mid-air, and quickly wrote with his finger on the coffee table: Tomorrow I will find a way to leave here, you stay here, and leave when you are completely safe.

Don't worry, I seem to have a solution. Chen Shouyi wrote with a thought.
