Chapter 540 Is the Father (Priest)'s Mental State Still Normal?
In the Secret Chamber, the candlelight flickered wildly, as if it would go out in the next second.
Joshua still knelt on the spot, blankly watching the Black-Robed Person's figure slowly rising at the Entrance.
In the flickering Light and Darkness, the bricks under the Black Shadow's feet quietly turned over, the whole person seemed to emerge from the Ground, the tall and upright body seemed never to bend, and was as silent as this Transformation.
As the Black-Robed Person emerged from underground, the elongated Black Shadow also gradually extended towards the Entrance, projected onto the chimney brick Wall opposite, and finally completely covered it, like a thick, impenetrable Darkness, slowly and silently devouring something...
The Red-eyed crow he had seen before also quietly perched on the Black-Robed Person's Shoulder, looking extremely docile.
The Black-Robed Person's hat brim was pressed very low, vaguely revealing a fair and sharp chin, which was a feeling only young people have.
And what made him unable to take his Eyes off was the Snake Head under the hat brim that was spitting a Snake Tongue at him.
In the Old Testament Bible, Satan is an ancient Snake, and has nothing to do with Sheep.
And in Genesis, the Snake that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the Fruit of the Tree of Good and Evil also represents Satan.
In various versions of the Bible, it is also mentioned many times: the Great Dragon is the ancient Snake, named Devil, also called Satan, who deceives the whole world...
No, it's his new Master!
Joshua came back to his senses, his Expression and Gaze instantly becoming fanatical.
Non-Ink: "..." Chi Feichei: "..." Joshua's Expression is so distorted...
Middle-aged Man didn't notice that there was another person behind him at all, and questioned Joshua with dissatisfaction, "Belial? What Belial? Don't know what Relationship Belial has with me, a Believer of Satan? Joshua, don't change the Topic! Answer me, are you willing to join my Church!"
Behind him, a calm, cold, and hoarse Man's voice came.
"Some Say, Belial, Samuel, Lucifer, are all aliases of Satan... But the appearance of these three names is much later than Satan, and the latest appearance of the name Lucifer is even taken from Roman mythology outside the Abrahamic mythology system, the earliest, there was only Satan."
Chi Feichei really couldn't bear it anymore.
Although Belial is a later evolved Appellation, as a Believer of Satan, who seems to have a Church under his command, he has never even heard of Belial, is he serious?
In this day and age, if you don't have some Knowledge, don't come out to fool people.
Or Rather, using religion as a Name to fool a person who has been a Father (Priest) for more than thirty years.
Middle-aged Man was startled by the sudden voice, and turned around in astonishment to Look at Chi Feichei.
"Yes," Joshua nodded heavily, his Eyes shining frighteningly in the candlelight, "The earliest, there was only Satan!"
"Which Church are you from?" Middle-aged Man frowned and asked.
He didn't See Chi Feichei emerge from underground, and only regarded him as a 'Colleague' poaching people.
Although the fact is similar, it is poaching people, but not a Colleague.
Chi Feichei said in a hoarse voice, "I am not from any Church..."
"Yes," Joshua nodded heavily again, and said seriously, "You are not from any Church, all the Churches in the world will take you as the Lord!"
Chi Feichei: "..." Is the Father (Priest)'s Mental State still Normal?
"Acting mysterious!" Middle-aged Man looked at the two people 'singing in harmony', and said angrily, "My Church once launched the Sixteen-Person Ritual, launched Punishment, sacrificed hundreds of..."
The Sound stopped abruptly.
A Hand rested on Middle-aged Man's Shoulder, he felt several cold Sharp Blades placed in front of his throat, the Feeling of his Life being grasped made goosebumps rise all over his body.
"I thought it was Anton's Church..." Chi Feichei murmured softly.
According to his Knowledge from his previous life, there are two types of Satan Church.
One is the Evil Church that advocates worshiping Demons, swindling Others' family Money, and performing bloody rituals.
The other is the Satan Church organized by Anton LaVey, a law-abiding Church, advocating facing Reality, living in the Present, not pinning Hope on the afterlife or after death, not following the crowd, affirming the Value of desire, and learning to regulate desire.
They don't even pursue worshiping any God, they take themselves as God, and they are not anti-Christianity, if there must be a Conflict, it is probably that they don't like the Statement of inferiority and self-abuse that people are born sinful.
In his previous life, after he arrived in America, he met a high-level member of the Satan Church.
He also doesn't like the religious concept of 'enjoying happiness in the afterlife, after death', and doesn't like the Ideology of 'if Others slap my left Face, I should actively stretch my right Face over for him to slap'.
If anyone slaps him, he will choose to slap the other person's Face swollen...
But when that Friend invited him to join the Satan Church, he refused, always feeling that joining a Church was weird, and he was also Guarding Against the other party fooling him.
The existence of religion is very Brainwashing, and one has to Guard Against it.
If he really wants to be his own Master, isn't it okay for him not to join any Church?
"An... Anton?" Middle-aged Man was covered in cold sweat, trying to slow down his voice, "No... Friend, put down the Knife in your Hand, we have the Same Faith, don't we? You are also here for Joshua, right? We can Discuss it, one party withdraws, anyway, it's all for Satan..."
Joshua Looked at Middle-aged Man with a sarcastic Gaze, and at the Same time felt shocked, and lowered his Head.
He could See clearly that what was against that Man's throat was not a Knife, but Claws.
Claws that grew out of the Fingers like Fingernails, sharp and pointed, nearly 10 centimeters long, with no Trace of forgery.
At least, at a Glance, people would feel that they were Claws...
The Man was still chattering, "By the Way, I have a lot of Church Funds, beautiful Believers, if you like..."
"Noisy."
Chi Feichei forcefully swiped his Hand across the Man's Neck, bringing up a Blood Flower.
The Man clearly felt the Feeling of his Skin being cut open, looked in horror at the Blood splashing in front of his Eyes, wanted to scream but couldn't make a Sound, and hurriedly used both Hands to cover the Injury on his Neck.
At the Same time as he crashed to the Ground, he finally Saw the Claws on the Hand extended from under the Black Robe, his Expression frozen in fear and Emotion.
Chi Feichei Staring at the Man who was no longer moving, frowned.
Has the Killing Intent been a bit heavy Recently?
After leaving Conan, he seems to have let himself go a bit, and feels more and more deviated from the glorious and righteous Little Friends.
Joshua was still kneeling on the Ground, looking at the Man who had fallen to the Ground, nervously swallowed his saliva, quietly raised his Eye, Saw the sharp Fingernails on that Hand slowly retracting, becoming the Same as a Normal Person's fingernails, and hurriedly lowered his Head in a cold sweat.
He was right, those Claws were not Gadgets, they were not Things that Humanity should have in the first place!
It's Just that, that Hand looked a bit familiar.
He Seemingly had Seen it, Just Recently...
Slender and powerful, with distinct Knuckles, very fair and clean, like the best Art, making people feel at Once Seeing that this was a Gentleman from a noble family who had been pampered since childhood...
"You..." Joshua suddenly Realized someone, looked up towards the figure standing in the middle of the Pattern at the Entrance, "You are Chi... Chi..."
Chi Feichei was silent for a moment, Stepped Forward, no longer using a hoarse voice to Cover-up, and calmly asked, "How did you Discover it?"
No Need to Cover-up, Joshua indeed recognized him.
Joshua was feeling nervous in his Heart, and when he Discovered Chi Feichei approaching, he felt even more as if his whole body was shrouded in invisible Pressure, but as Chi Feichei approached, when he looked up, he also Saw clearly the pair of Purple Eyes hidden in the dim Light under the Black Robe's hat brim, swallowed his saliva, "I, I have liked to observe Others' Hands since I was a Child, Because I think Hands are a symbol of Humanity's Agility, and the most perfect Tool."
Chi Feichei stretched out his left Hand and Looked, Seemingly there was no special Trace that could make people remember, "Do you remember everyone's Hands?"
"No, it's Because it hasn't been long since we met, so I remember," Joshua lowered his Head, his Expression becoming painful, "Also Because, that was my last Baptism, Afterwards, everything became different, I shouldn't have performed that Baptism, shouldn't have performed Baptism for the Devil's Child in the Church..."
"Didn't God Say that he can redeem everything?" Chi Feichei squatted down, looked at Joshua, word by word, like a Demon tempting people to fall, "Noah is my Godson, without my Bloodline, if I am sinful, he should redeem Noah, you are his loyal Believer, keeping the Commandment for a Lifetime, you performed Baptism for Noah without knowing the Situation, and are willing to Repentance, he should also choose to Forgiveness you, in fact, he did not redeem Noah, and also abandoned you."
He is not disgusted with Christianity, Christianity has the Ideology of 'loving God, loving Human, loving Self', opposes infanticide and abandonment of babies, abolishes slavery, is enthusiastic about charity, and has made many contributions to Humanity Civilization.
Many religions teach people to be good, and there are many good character guides, what he hates is Just some bad Things.
For Example, Christianity denies other religions, Says that Children are born sinful, Just Because many years ago a Woman stole an Apple, not being Baptized is sinful, after being Baptized, your Sin is forgiven, and then you have to believe in him for a Lifetime.
For Example, Buddhism requires people to cut off everything and devote themselves wholeheartedly, making people abandon their wives and children, he feels that this violates a Man's Responsibility, and even the Responsibility of being a Human.
If he had to Say, he still prefers Taoism a little more.
Of course, whether he likes it or not has nothing to do with the Present.
If Benefit represents Demon, then he now represents Demon, so what?
Joshua was full of Conflict.
That's right, shouldn't God redeem that Child?
Why do nothing and abandon him?
Or Rather... is this a Test from God?
"Even if I don't like the doctrine of your God, I am willing to step into there for Noah," Chi Feichei stood up, "Father (Priest), please tell me, the content of Genesis Chapter 3."
Joshua was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Chi Feichei was telling him this, recalled it, and recited without hesitation, "Jehovah God created, only the Snake is more cunning than all the Living Creature in the Field..."
Chi Feichei couldn't help but Say, "Who wrote this Book? Did the Snake provoke him?"
