The protagonist always says he loves me

The spear was enchanted, and the pope's pale hair was entangled by the thick black air, as if he had returned to his youthful appearance in an instant.At the same time, the wrinkles on his face were widening and deepening at an accelerated rate, cutting his kind face to pieces, making him extremely ferocious.

Templars' light shields temporarily blocked the spears, and the impact and impact was deafening.The Pope stretched out his hand and pointed at Augustus, and said in horror, "The devil!"

Pointing the spear, Augustus glanced at him haughtily, with no emotion in his icy blue eyes. "When you burned her, you also called her a devil."

The black air crawled along the stone steps, like countless long snakes coiled together, and the body kept wriggling.Augustus swept across with his spear, and the second half of the long snake formed by the condensed black air twisted on the ground. The heads of the snakes all stood up straight, revealing their triangular fangs towards the temple, as if they could choose someone at any time. bite.

The pope took a step back in panic, and the knights surrounded him, trying to stop the snake's advance.The faces of these fighters who claimed to be the most steadfast in their beliefs were astonished, but after all, they had drawn courage and strength from the gods they believed in, and did not flee in all directions like the congregation.

The knight's epee cut off the snake's head, and the half-broken black air spread again, turning into smaller snakes and crawling forward.

"May the light of God be with you!"

The pope waved his staff and bestowed his blessing.The knight shrouded in the holy light doubled his courage, the metal armor shone brightly, and his boots took a few steps towards the black snake.

Augustus narrowed his eyes and stared at the Pope who turned and walked quickly to the temple after bestowing the blessing.

"Tsk." He sighed softly, pulled Chen Ci into his arms with his left hand, covered his eyes with his palm, and said softly, "Don't look."

As soon as the voice fell, he held the spear in his right hand and threw it forward.

The spear lingering in the black air broke through the barrier of holy light of the knights, like a meteor coming in a hurry, the dark light disappeared and sank into the Pope's back.The spear pierced through the flesh of a mortal, pierced out from the chest unstoppably, wrapped in a huge force thrown forward, and firmly nailed the pope to the giant column outside the temple.

The blood dripped slowly along the grooves of the cylinder, and soon, the flesh corroded by the black air quickly decayed, and the blood turned into a viscous black liquid, which gradually stagnated.

Chen Ci blinked, and curled Augustus' palm with his eyelashes.He wrapped his back around the other's neck, rubbed it, and said, "Don't cover it, I'm not afraid."

The pope's body was like a withered flower, eroding in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into dust.As soon as the wind blew, only the spear was still nailed to the post and quivered.

Augustus took off his spear and let go of the hand that was blocking Chen Ci's eyes.The Templar knights had already been swallowed by the black air at this time, and they disappeared without a trace of their swords. The horses that remained in place neighed continuously, pawing the ground with their front hooves, looking irritable because of the loss of their master.

Both the pope and the knight were dead, and the cardinal was seriously injured and fled yesterday, and no one could stop him.

In the center of the temple stands a black stone platform.The dome above the stone platform is painted with a portrait of God's Judgment. The holy light is scattered and lifelike. The bright tiles specially set aside in the center of the dome just allow a beam of light to pass through and fall straight on the stone platform.

In the beam of light is a cluster of white flames that float and burn.

It is like an elf with its own life, chasing and playing with the floating dust in the beam of light, dancing endlessly.

Even Augustus, who had always hated the Holy See, couldn't help but put away his contemptuous expression when he saw this bright fire that was said to be the remains of a god.That really doesn't look like something that should exist in this world, no wonder the cardinal can arouse such great power just by taking part of the fire.

"Augustus..." Chen Ci grabbed Augustus's sleeve.He kept in mind the setting of the temple, and he knew that this cluster of bright flames seemed to be placed on the stone platform without any defense, but they could not be approached at will.

Without his reminding, Augustus also noticed the abnormality of Shitai.

Under the beam of light refracted by the broken dust, there stood a man in a red robe.The only cardinal who escaped from Augustus yesterday, Bergson.

Bergson reached out his hand to grab a handful from the beam of light, held the floating dust, and said with a smile to the two, "He came in so quickly, Leonard is really old and useless."

Seeing him standing on the stone platform safely and soundly, Chen Ci asked in surprise, "Why do you..."

Bergson flicked the elf-like flame lightly with his fingers, held it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Is it strange? The other cardinals are dead, and that old Leonard insists on blocking you all." Outside the temple, of course I am the only one left to guard the flame of light."

"Oh, oh, don't look at me with that look." Bergson pretended to be afraid, "Augustus, my old friend, if it wasn't for your help, how could Leonard let me stand here at ease? Well. I don't want to fight with you."

Augustus said, "Get out of here."

"Of course." Bergson clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Are you going to destroy this place to avenge the little lamb? Just destroy it, and I will cheer for you."

"Don't touch that fire."

Bergson stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of his eyes, "This is impossible."

He shot like lightning, with five fingers together, he held the flame in his palm, pulled it back suddenly, and left the stone platform with his hands.

Seeing the light of the flame dim, Chen Ci's heart was shocked, he grabbed Augustus's sleeve and stepped back quickly.

However it was too late.

The moment the bright flame left the stone platform, the murals on the dome of the temple seemed to be injected with wonderful energy, and all the characters in the paintings "lived".In the middle of the mural, the majestic God of Light opened his closed eyes, and his golden eyes looked down at the three people in the hall.That line of sight didn't fall on any of them, but everyone felt the pressure of being stared at intently.

"Wait..."

"Did you ever believe me..."

"Love me……"

In the empty temple, the thick voice kept echoing, as if it wanted to directly penetrate the soul of the person being questioned.

Chen Ci was sweating coldly, and his first reaction was to cover Augustus' ears with his hands.

Seeing Bergson standing on the stone platform as if nothing happened, he thought that something had happened to the setting of the temple that he didn't know about.But the trial still came after all, which showed that there was nothing wrong with the setting he obtained from the system.

The bright fire enshrined in the temple can only be touched by the popes.Whenever there is a newly established church, or a bishop dealing with special matters needs to use the flame of light, it needs to be approved by the Pope, who will personally take out the fire.This is not meaningless red tape. The Holy See initially set such a rule because of one of the most realistic reasons—

Only those who are not stained with dust and dirt in their hearts and devote themselves to the gods can not be burned by the fire of light.And once people with distracting thoughts try to take away the bright fire, they will be judged by God. "God's Judgment" is not a bluffing curse. The murals on the dome of the temple also left behind the divine power of the God of Light, which is enough to smash the ungodly congregation into pieces, and their souls and flesh perish.

Augustus' green eyes were deep, and he looked at Chen Ci steadfastly.

Chen Ci said silently to him, "Don't listen, don't think about it."

Augustus raised his eyebrows, pulled him towards him, and covered his ears with both palms equally tenderly.

Not far away, Bergson was half-kneeling on the ground, covering his bleeding ear canal with one hand, and still holding the bright flame with the other hand, refusing to let go.He raised his head in pain, and said loudly to the statue of the God of Light on the dome, "What are you!"

A holy flame fell from the dome, engulfing his left leg in an instant.

"Whoever doesn't believe me, burn their torso..."

The idol passed judgment without emotion, and the hollow voice echoed around the temple.

"Those who don't believe in me will burn their souls..."

Bergson's body was completely burned, and a cloud of black gas remained in place, tightly wrapping the cluster of bright fire.The black air rolled and struggled, and said vaguely, "In my name, summon, summon..."

Chen Ci's expression moved slightly.

At this moment, the flames of the holy fire sprinkled from the dome exploded, completely engulfing the squirming black air.In the bright light, the cluster of bright flames is extraordinarily pure, like the wick of a candle, the most eye-catching.

It stayed in place for a moment, then turned to Chen Ci and the two of them.

The voice of inquiry from the dome sounded again.

How to do? !

Even if you cover your ears, you can't avoid the questions that come directly to your heart.Without the most devout faith, one cannot escape judgment.When he knew that this trap was hidden in the temple, his initial thought was to avoid it.In case he touched the flame of light, he had also thought of a way to deal with it.After all, he has the memory of being Narcissus. The little priest 3000 years ago was the most loyal believer of the God of Light. If he hypnotizes himself, he may have a chance to hide from God's eyes and ears...

Just when Chen Ci was about to try to break free from Augustus, Augustus suddenly let him go.

"I don't believe you."

The god statue on the dome glared angrily, and there was a hint of thunder coming.The holy flame was mixed with lightning, and a strong murderous intent was brewing in midair.

Chen Ci hurriedly said, "Stop talking!"

He knelt down on the ground with his knees bent, recalling the prayers he had silently recited, put his palms on the ground, and said as piously as possible, "Our Father in heaven, may your name be hallowed..."

The fire that was eager to try avoided him, and turned to the silent Augustus as if examining a prey.

Chen Ci tugged at the corner of his robe.

Augustus lowered his brows and met his worried eyes.He pursed his lips and said, "I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness; I believe that you died for me, and took the punishment I deserved for my crime..."

"I'm willing to leave sin," he said, bending over, putting his hands through his knees, and picked up his still nervous baby. "Now please come into my heart and life and be my savior..."
