I Was Once a Legend

Chapter 311 The Cause of Evil

Roughly speaking, the area of ​​the church is not very large. There are three floors in total, connected by spiral stairs. In addition to the main building, there is also the rose field in the front yard and the cemetery in the back. some places.

I don't know where the others are. If the activity area stipulated by the box is only this big, they should be able to meet up soon.Cui Zuojing left marks while walking. Each of them has their own unique way of marking, so that when they are separated, other companions can know the general situation of each other and facilitate the rendezvous.

Walking along the side corridor with stained glass windows for a certain distance, a lot of small rooms began to appear next to it. Before entering, everyone had roughly guessed what it would involve based on the hints of the box name and pattern, and everyone did it A lot of religious knowledge is prepared just in case.

Cui Zuojing pushed the doors one by one and found that most of them were locked. He left a mark at the corner and continued to walk forward, seeing scattered blood on the floor.

Cui Zuojing was refreshed. He approached the place where the bloodstains appeared, and found that there were obvious signs of fighting around.He walked forward quickly, and the blood stains became more obvious, even on the three-meter-high flower window, there were splashes of blood, which happened to be on the cheek of the man holding the Bible, instantly making the holy pattern weird.

After the battle, the injured party should have fled. The blood spots crushed by the footprints continued intermittently, and finally extended to the door of a door and disappeared nearby.

Cui Zuojing tried to push the door, but it was still locked. According to the normal script of the box, he should find the key somewhere or enter through the window from the outside.With Cui Zuojing's ability, he can directly destroy the door lock, but considering that if he is in danger and needs to hide in case of danger, it would be embarrassing if the lock is broken, so he should go find the key honestly.

It didn't take much effort to find the key behind a pair of portraits. Cui Zuojing opened the door and went in. What greeted his eyes was large swaths of blood. It was obvious that the injured had stayed here for a long time.

But he found no trace of the person, as if the wounded man had locked himself in the room and disappeared.This is a lounge with relatively simple facilities. The single bed is placed against the wall. There is a small window between the bed and the table. You can see the roses and the pink sky outside. A bible with a bloody handprint on the black cover.

Cui Zuojing pressed his hand on the bloodstain and turned around. The wounded man should be a strong adult man. He opened the Bible and English came into view.

- In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

—The earth was formless and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God moved over the face of the waters.

A burst of light came out from the pages of the book, which was extremely dazzling. Cui Zuojing subconsciously raised his hand to protect his eyes. When the light disappeared, his eyes became clear again, and the surroundings changed.

Birds and insects sounded in all directions, far or near, the dense forest covered the sky as the sun was falling, and sprinkled mottled light spots on the ground. Freshness after.Cui Zuojing bowed his head. He was wearing a jacket and carrying a hiking bag. His shoes were full of mud. He obviously climbed all the way up from the foot of the mountain.

A voice with a strong dialect accent was faintly heard behind him. The forest ranger and his dog were chasing after him. Another person who was traveling with him was a little nervous and panting, "I-I've been chasing this for how long, and I have too much perseverance. Otherwise, let's go separately, and if we are caught up, we may be fined."

Everyone agreed one after another, and their group plus Cui Zuojing, a total of seven, divided into three waves and fled in different directions.

Cui Zuojing couldn't control this body, and observed what happened with his first vision. He quickly understood that his identity was a backpacker. A group of "explorers" went to explore the undeveloped mountainous area, but they were arrested by the local The rangers found that the rangers were afraid that they would smoke and sleep in the open to cause wildfires, or that poaching would happen, and they had been chasing them since morning.

The more he chased the crowd, the more frightened he became. The thin German Shepherd kept biting them a hundred meters behind their buttocks so that the master would not lose his target.Cui Zuojing and the other two walked to the left. This mountain forest is only a path that the rangers patrol the mountain on weekdays. It is difficult to walk. They are exhausted now. If they relax a little, they may really be caught.

The targets were divided into three. The ranger hesitated for a moment and decided to chase "Cui Zuojing", because the direction they were walking led to a cliff, the terrain was very complicated, and a little carelessness might cause danger.

The forest ranger in his 40s kept shouting behind him in dialect. They didn't understand what he was talking about, so they could only run even harder amidst the barking of dogs that couldn't be shaken off.

"Otherwise, let's not leave, it's not easy for others, just fine some money." After 10 minutes, "Cui Zuojing" stopped, he was exhausted, and the Sony camera hanging on his chest was almost His neck was going to be broken. The road after the rain was very muddy and slippery, which increased the physical exertion.

He glanced back. The rangers were lifting the low-hanging branches of the trail and coming towards them with difficulty. They only needed to turn a corner to catch them.

"No, I've been running for such a long time. Persevere. He will definitely stop chasing him at night, and he will be safe then." His companion pulled him to continue running.

At this moment, the ranger who was going around the bushes was probably exhausted, and suddenly his feet slipped, and he fell a certain distance along the smooth mountain wall!

He reached out and grabbed the branch next to him with all his strength, and he barely stopped, hanging on the cliff in the middle of the mountain, with a drop of [-] meters under his feet.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Regardless of the danger, the ranger dog descended to the vicinity of its owner, carefully stepped on the muddy wetlands, and barked for help.

"not good!"

Cui Zuojing and his companions turned back immediately. They threw away their backpacks and cameras, lay down on the edge of the rock and stretched out their hands to pull the ranger up.Cui Zuojing clearly saw the rough and chapped hands of the forest ranger and the traces of weather on his simple face. He was only 40 years old, but he looked like a man in his 50s.

The shotgun used to intimidate poachers was carried on his back. The forest ranger tried his best to grab Cui Zuojing's hand and climb up, but the rocks were so slippery after the rain. Suddenly broke.

He fell and fell a hundred meters off the cliff.

boom--!

The sound of a fresh body falling to the ground hit his ears heavily, Cui Zuojing woke up suddenly, he came back to his senses, the Bible in front of him was lying quietly on the table, the blood in the room smelled fishy, ​​everything he saw just now probably It is the sin that he wants to wash away in this box.

He ignored the rules, killed a dutiful ranger, and was in debt.

He fled like a coward and escaped the punishment of the law, but he couldn't bear the shame in his heart and came to the church.

Cui Zuojing withdrew his hand, his mood was a bit complicated, but he quickly adjusted it. The immersive scene display is indeed easy to generate a strong sense of substitution, but those are only the fate of the box An Jia on him.

Now that the name of the sin has been known, the next step is to find the Holy Son to confess, but it is not known whether the so-called Holy Son is one of them or played by an npc.

There were no other clues in the room, and Cui Zuojing was sure that no other traces of the missing and injured could be found for the time being, so he left here without wasting time.If possible, he still wanted to join up with other teammates as soon as possible, which would be safer.

Cui Zuojing continued to explore the church, leaving his own mark while looking for the Holy Son. He knew that since the box allowed him to understand the sins he carried so easily and quickly, the difficulty would definitely be concentrated in the following links.

Dong Zheng pushed open an unlocked door.

He woke up in a coffin next to the cemetery behind the church. In the black coffin besides him, there was a newspaper about the plane crash.

After listening to the hints given by the box, Dong Zheng had a subjective rough judgment on the approximate difficulty of the box. According to his experience, the more specific the hints about the task, the less they need to grope step by step to know what to do. It will be more difficult to actually implement it.

Devout believers are buried in the nearby cemetery, and small crosses are carved on each tombstone.Dong Zheng searched and found no other clues, so he walked into the church through the back door.

The corridor connected by the back door extends to the left and right sides. The general church has a perfect symmetrical structure. Dong Zheng chose the left side based on the principle of men left and women right. The whole structure of the church is gone.

This church is very luxurious. Dong Zheng has visited several famous churches in Europe, and his initial impression here is the same. Crosses can be seen everywhere, and religious statues are carved on many colonnades. , a continuous mural above the head shows different stories for the believers.

Dong Zheng even saw a familiar scene: Jesus was nailed to the cross, the Holy Father opened his arms behind him, the Virgin Mary and St. John stood on both sides, and the well-shaped dome enveloped the four.If he remembered correctly, the painting was called "Holy Trinity" and it was a fairly famous religious painting.

The small rooms were all locked, and Dong Zheng pushed seven or eight rooms in a row before finally opening a door.

This is probably a warehouse, with many wooden boxes piled up. Dong Zheng walked in. He reached out and touched the top box, and touched the dust in his hand.

The window was half open, and there was half a bloody handprint on the window sill, as if someone had escaped from the room through the window. Dong Zheng lay on the window sill and looked out, only seeing the cemetery in the distance when he came.

He turned around and was startled by the little doll staring straight at him behind him, a Pinocchio puppet that was placed in the corner behind the door and could only be seen after closing the door and walking into the room and turning around. See.

The long-nosed puppet wears a yellow hat and overalls and sits on a box. Its joints are probably connected by wires and are so loose that when Dong Zheng picks it up, its limbs droop naturally. The calf is still in a state of dangling.

Pinocchio represents a lie, is his crime related to a lie?Dong Zheng didn't know, he couldn't connect the long-nosed puppet with the newspaper for the time being.

Dong Zheng left the room and continued to explore until the end of the corridor. He stopped and frowned. According to his footsteps, the interior of the church was smaller than it looked from the outside. There must be many dark rooms here.
